The main reason why all the sales dropped is because hurricane Sandy.

New England Patriots survive late scare from Buffalo Bills, hang on for 37-31 win
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/patriots-survive-late-scare-beat-bills-article-1.1200374
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw into the end zone to the open man. Unfortunately for the Bills, that man was Patriots safety Devin McCourty.
That easy interception with 23 seconds left decided the game the way every other Buffalo game at Gillette Stadium has ended — with a New England victory.
On a day of dreadful defense by both teams, the Patriots held on for a 37-31 win over the surprisingly tough Bills on Sunday despite allowing 35 first downs, Buffalo's most ever and the most ever allowed by New England.

Were the Romney and Obama TV Ads a Total Waste?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/09/were-the-romney-and-obama-tv-ads-a-total-waste.html
The approximate number spent on television advertising is $1 Billion in the concluded presidential campaign, the question is what, if any effect of these ads had on the outcome. The leading person seems to be that President Obama’s decision to define Governor Romney as a rich, out-of-touch elitist last summer helped carry him to victory. Of course, if Romney had won, the story would have been his genius to air ads late in the campaign and turn the election in his favor.

Built-in advertising: The Windows 8 feature you haven't heard about
http://www.techspot.com/news/50772-built-in-advertising-the-windows-8-feature-you-havent-heard-about.html
Windows 8 has been one of the most anticipated and talked about tech launches of 2012. Discussions intensified as the operating system neared and for the most part, everything went off swimmingly for Redmond. Sure there was the post-RTM update ahead of Microsoft’s October 26 release date but there’s something else with Windows 8 that most aren’t yet aware of: built-in advertising.

To Succeed in Sales, Suspend Your Self Interest
Top salespeople, the best of the best, understand that when it comes to selling, it isn’t about them or their product or service. It’s about the other person and how they benefit from it. Do not be a doormat, self-sacrificial, or a martyr in any way. But referring that customer to a competitor when their product is a better fit often builds long-term trust, because it’s clear you’re an honest broker. If you find yourself constantly referring clients to a colleague but don’t receive any referrals back, take a careful look at the situation. It’s fine if you don’t have anyone to refer, but I want to make sure it’s not a lack of confidence. But believing that good things will happen if you help others doesn’t mean you can slack off on the business end. Ultimately, the secret to sales is recognizing what you can control – and what you can’t.
40% chance of owning an Iphone if you're a teen.
http://www.todaysiphone.com/2012/10/if-youre-a-teen-in-the-us-theres-a-40-chance-you-own-an-iphone/
It’s
no secret that Apple’s gadgets are popular amongst today’s youth, but I can’t
help but be impressed when I see hard numbers demonstrating just how much reach
Apple has with the teenage demographic. According to Piper-Jaffray’s semi-annual
survey of 7,700 teenagers here in the US, a whopping 40% of participants
reported iPhone ownership. What’s more, an even larger 62% checked off the box
stating that their next smartphone will be Apple-made, compared to just 22% of
respondents anticipating an Android purchase in near future
