Brigham Young University began its football program officially in 1922. The Cougars found their greatest success when they hired LaVell Edwards as head coach in 1972, and he implemented his unorthodox aggressive passing scheme while other college football teams were relying on run-heavy offenses. BYU's ability to rack up points fast is something still seen in Provo today. Edwards coached until 2000. They would win a national championship in 1984 and 19 conference titles under coach Edwards. BYU still shows a powerful passing game today and is always an exciting team to watch. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for BYU Cougars football tickets.
Coming off an 8-5 season and entering their third season as an independent, BYU appears ready to make a run at a BCS bowl game. Bronco Mendenhall enters his 9th season as the Cougars head coach and has compiled 74 wins in that span. The defense returns many starters from a squad that finished ranked 3rd in total defense and scoring in 2012. Offensively, Mendenhall will have to find a starting quarterback. Sophomore Taysom Hill is the frontrunner after playing well last season before going down with a knee injury. The running game will be by committee, with the receiving core being led by Cody Hoffman. The senior is a star and put off entering the NFL to come back for one more season. Hoffman finished 2012 with 100 catches, 1,248 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Hoffman is as steady as they come, and barring injury, Hoffman should leave BYU as the program's all-time leading receiver. If the Cougars earn a BCS bid, they would have earned it. BYU will travel to Wisconsin and Notre Dame, and host Texas, Georgia Tech, and Boise State.
Check out our BYU Cougars Season Preview History page for previews of previous Cougars seasons.
The BYU Cougars play their home games at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. The stadium was opened in 1964 and holds just over 64,000 spectators. LaVell Edwards Stadium is one of the most picturesque settings in all of college football with the Wasatch Range as backdrop and the enormous white stone "Y" on the side of one of the mountains. The BYU Cougars home bench is on the LaVell Edwards Stadium sideline with sections 31-37. LaVell Edwards Stadium parking information is covered in our Cougars event guide.
Utah Utes, Boise State Broncos
The "Holy War" is between the two oldest universities in the state of Utah. Separated by only 50 miles, the competition between these universities is so fierce that they cannot even agree when the first game between them was played. This has been one of the closest rivalries in recent years, with a majority of the games decided by 7 points or less. With allegiances dividing the state, this is the can't miss game in the state of Utah.
Although no longer conference opponents, this young rivalry has proven to be one of the best games outside of the major conferences. With games scheduled for the next decade, competition and tradition between these two universities is only sure to grow. Boise State hopes that by beating BYU they can follow in the Cougars footsteps and win a National Championship from a non-major conference, while BYU hopes to return to the top step, by facing an always-tough Broncos squad.
Having played in over an impressive 30 bowl games, the BYU Cougars are the most successful team to ever play in the Western Athletic Conference. The 20 plus conference titles they have accumulated across the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference is staggering and the Cougars are always a threat to add to their already impressive resume each and every year. Ticketcity offers tickets to all college football bowl games.
Children 2 years and younger do not need a ticket but will need to sit on a parent's lap.
Breakfast/brunch at Communal is always a great choice and it's only 6-7 blocks south of campus. If you're looking for a burger, Cubby's Chicago Beef is your spot.
Gates will open two hours before kickoff for all home games.
I found buying from ya'll is the easiest ticket buying experience I've had. I recommend to everyone.Andy - New Orleans, LA

It's been a while since I've done an entry in this series but here we are again. In "How Not to Punch" we take a look at simple mistakes made in striking that lead to the end of the fight.
In his bout with Takanori Gomi at UFC on Versus 2, Tyson Griffin made a mistake that plagues a lot of fighters in MMA by throwing a combination from relatively close quarters and throwing wide, looping punches. Gomi is actually doing the same thing but it's where counterpunching and timing come into play. While Griffin is throwing his left hand "from his back pocket" he is doing it while Gomi is already firing punches at him. Gomi loads up his right hand as the kick from Griffin lands so Tyson isn't going to be able to replant his foot and fire a solid punch by the time Gomi's fist makes its journey.
GIF after the jump.
Gomi's punch actually is similar to a right hook version of the left hook KO by Manny Pacquiao:
Both the Gomi and Manny KOs show that you can get away with loading up on the hook as long as you have a solid grasp on timing. Gomi has that solid counterpunchers timing and that allowed him to make sure his hook got there first and flipped Griffin's light switch.

Olympia Snowe on Foreign Policy
Republican Sr Senator (ME)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
The overall funding provided by H.R. 2606 is inadequate. By denying America a decent investment in diplomacy, this bill suggests we should meet threats to our security with our military might alone. That is a dangerous proposition. For if we underfund our diplomacy, we will end up overusing our military.
For example, A generation from now, no one is going to say we did too much to help the nations of the former Soviet Union safeguard their nuclear technology and expertise. If the funding cuts in this bill were to become law, future generations would certainly say we did too little and that we imperiled our future in the process.

Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. McCAIN. The world has reacted with horror and revulsion at the Burmese junta's recent brutal crackdown against peaceful demonstrators. In crushing the Saffron Revolution, killing hundreds and jailing thousands, including countless Buddhist monks, the junta has left no doubt about its blatant disregard for basic human decency. We, as Americans, stand on the side of freedom, not fear; of peace, not violence; and of the millions in Burma who aspire to a better life, not those who would keep them isolated and oppressed. Our response must go beyond statements of condemnation, and the time to act is now.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Top members of the computer hacking group LulzSec have been arrested and will face charges in New York, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Five people with the group were either under arrest or being sought, the official said. The details of the allegations weren't immediately available, but were expected to be made public in court documents being unsealed Tuesday morning.
The group also goes by the full name Lulz Security. Hackers associated with the group have claimed to be responsible for a variety of cyber attacks on big companies, law enforcement and government agencies.
The law enforcement official spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges hadn't yet been officially announced.
The first court document to become available Tuesday was a criminal information against Hector Xavier Monsegur, charging the Manhattan resident with conspiracy to engage in computer hacking, among other charges. Authorities say he pleaded guilty to the charges on Aug. 15.
According to the court papers, he was an "influential member of three hacking organizations -- Anonymous, Internet Feds and Lulz Security -- that were responsible for multiple cyber attacks on the computer systems of various businesses and governments in the United States and throughout the world."
According to the court papers, he acted as a "rooter," a computer hacker who identified vulnerabilities in the computer systems of potential victims.
The court papers said he participated in several cyber attacks from December 2010 through last June 7 as part of Anonymous, including attacks on Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, attacks on government computers in Tunisia, Algeria, Yemeni and Zimbabwea.
As part of Internet Feds, he was alleged to have participated in attacks against various business and government entities in the United States and throughout the world, including HBGary Inc., a private security firm, Fox Broadcasting Co. and the Tribune Co.
The court papers said he formed LulzSec last May with other elite hackers, who then attacked various divisions of Sony, a global electronics and media company, as well as the Public Broadcasting Service, the United States Senate, Unveillance, a cyber security firm headquartered in Delaware and Bethesday Softworks, a video game company based in Maryland.
Irish police said Tuesday that one of the five suspects had been arrested and was being held at a south Dublin police station.
They refused to release his name -- in line with force policy -- and declined to give any further details of the arrest, except to say that the man was being detained in connection with computer offenses.
LulzSec is a spin-off of the loosely organized hacking collective Anonymous. Its members attained notoriety last May by attacking the website of the public broadcaster PBS and posting a story claiming that the slain rapper Tupac Shakur was alive and living in New Zealand.
Some alleged associates of the group are already facing charges elsewhere. An English teenager, Ryan Cleary, was arrested by British law enforcement in June and charged with being linked to the group. In July, a reputed LulzSec spokesman, Jake Davis, was arrested in Scotland.

At the Drew Peterson murder trial, testimony from Retired State Police Sgt. Patrick Collins who investigated the death of Kathleen Savio.
Collins said when he arrived at Drew Peterson's home to interview Stacy Peterson about Kathleen Savio's death, Drew Peterson was allowed to sit in on the interview as a "professional courtesy".
Collins said he had never before allowed one witness to sit in on another witnesses' interview, and never did it again and Collins testified he didn't see any signs of a struggle at the scene of Kathleen Savio's death.
"The investigation was properly done," said Peterson's attorney, Steve Greenberg. "They have no evidence that it was botched. Secondly, even if you assume there were problems with the investigation, has that led to one shred of evidence against Drew? No."
However, Wednesday afternoon, a friend of Kathleen Savio testified that Savio told her "Drew (Peterson) had held a knife to her throat and told her, 'I could kill you and make it look like an accident" and that Savio kept a knife between the mattresses of her bed for self-protection.

BSH Home Appliances works to keep kitchens and washrooms productive. The company makes and distributes a variety of high-end home appliances, such as dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, ranges, washing machines, and dryers. It sells them under the Gaggenau, Bosch, and Thermador brands. BSH serves the US and Canadian markets, selling products directly to new homebuilders, as well as through retailers the likes of Home Depot, Lowe's, and Sears. Most BSH appliances, which are locally manufactured at plants in North Carolina and Tennessee, are made from recyclable materials. Founded in 1997, BSH Home Appliances is a subsidiary of German manufacturer BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte.
Geographic Reach
Based in California, BSH Home Appliances serves North American consumers and homebuilders for its German parent. Its products are made in the US.
BSH Home Appliances, part of its German parent's North American operations, is organized by product category -- laundry, dishwasher, cooking, and refrigeration -- to focus on BSH's core competences.
The company makes products specifically for the American market, instead of importing products from Germany. Refrigerators, washers, and dryers sold in the US are about 50% larger than comparably priced models in Europe and Asia. BSH Home Appliances also imports certain products, such as the Tassimo single-cup brewer, for sale at retail stores and online in the US.
Financial Performance
In fiscal 2012 (ends December) North American operations generated 3% of BSH Bosch und Siemens' revenues, about 2% less than in 2011. Despite moves to boost demand, including distributing its Bosch-branded appliances to Best Buy, BSH Home Appliances' sales have remained relatively flat. BSH reports that the market for large home appliances in North America grew substantially during the reporting period, but only on a euro basis. Indeed, net of currency effects, the company logged slim growth in the US and drops in Canada.
As part of BSH's rebound strategy, it is focused on selling more of its energy efficient offerings. The appliance maker also plans to invest an additional $50 million in its dishwasher business.

Few people were closer to history on 9/11 than a Suwanee woman who was onboard Air Force One with President George W. Bush.Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Wanda Joell was a flight attendant on Air Force One in Florida at the time. She and staff were waiting on President Bush after he learned of the attacks while reading to students in Sarasota."We got airborne and had to make some deviations in flight and different plans just to keep our president safe," said Joell. "I felt like we were going to be OK, we were safe with our guardian angels."Security orders still remain for Joell not to reveal many details about those harrowing hours when the President's plane was airborne. She says Air Force One was protected by two fighter jets on either side, as she and others first learned of the magnitude of the attacks from the news."I was in the conference room in the airplane and I looked at the news and that's when I saw the second tower had fell," said Joell. "We were all shaken. It was a very emotional experience."Joell retired in 2010 after nearly three decades in the Air Force. She spent 24 years flying, first with Vice President George Bush on Air Force Two before transitioning to Air Force One when he became president. She was part of the staff for the two Bushes, and Presidents Clinton and Obama.Joell now lives in Suwanee, closer to her parents in Lawrenceville, and with her 16-year-old son Darius. He tells he doesn't' remember much of 9//11, just that his mom was with the President. "It made me feel safe and the rest of my family definitely," said Darius Joell.Wanda Joell says she is now a motivational speaker who wants to tell her story of how discipline, hard work and dedication put in her a place of history she will never forget."I know that I made history and I'm honored and humbled and blessed to be a part of it," Joell said.Joell was also the first African-American woman to work as a flight attendant onboard Air Force One.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that covers the following University plans: health care, life insurance, disability insurance, and the retirement plan. An employee is entitled to review and receive information about the University's plans (see Sections 5.2 through 5.8 for plan outlines). Plan information is provided to employees in their benefits information packet.
ERISA ensures that employees receive benefits promised by their employers and that tax-favored pension plans do not favor the highest-paid employees in the way benefits are provided.
ERISA imposes duties on the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plans and creates rights for plan participants. The administrators of the employee plan, called "fiduciaries" of the plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of employees and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including an employer, may fire employees or otherwise discriminate against employees in any way to prevent them from obtaining welfare benefits or exercising their rights under ERISA. If an employee's claims for welfare benefits are denied in whole or in part, the employee must receive a written explanation of the reasons for the denials. Employees have the right to have the plan reviewed and reconsidered, in light of their claims.
There are steps employees can take to enforce their ERISA rights. For instance, if an employee requests materials from the plan and does not receive them within thirty (30) days, he may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay employees up to $100 a day until the materials are received unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
Employees may file suit in a state or federal court if they have a claim for benefits that is in whole or in part denied or ignored. Employees may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor or they may file suit in a federal court if plan fiduciaries misuse the plan's money, or if employees are discriminated against for asserting their rights. The court decides who should pay court costs and legal fees. The court may order the person being sued to pay these costs and fees if employees are successful. If employees lose, the court may order them to pay these costs and fees. Employees should contact the nearest area office of the U. S. Department of Labor with any questions about the plan.
ERISA provides that all plan participants are entitled to:

Families with children, if you haven't paid much attention to the upcoming changes in healthcare, this information is just for you.
The Affordable Care Act will impact families with children in many ways.
For example, let's say you are a working family of four. Your household income is between $23,550 and $94,200, which is between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level.
You could go to the Health Insurance Marketplace and shop around for an insurance plan. And that's if you don't have insurance through your employer, or even if you do.
"If you have insurance through your employer, but it is prohibitively expensive, you may be eligible to purchase insurance more affordably through the marketplace," said Jim Torres, a health insurance marketplace counselor.
Many may be left asking what exactly is the health insurance marketplace. Torres and his team are marketplace counselors and work to explain it.
They educate families about the Affordable Care Act, which anyone can access online at www.healthcare.gov.
"The market place is a place where people can go if they are uninsured, they are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid or through their employer, they can go shop for insurance and see if they can find an affordable plan that suits their needs," Torres said.
All of this will kick in soon. Open enrollment begins Oct. 1 and will last until March 31.
On Jan. 1, 2014, people might notice a few changes in their family's healthcare plans - all insurance plans.
"Starting Jan. 1, insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover people with pre-existing conditions. Any insurance company, not just the ones in the market place," Torres said.
That's welcoming news to parents whose children are born with illnesses such as asthma or those who have developed even more severe illnesses.
"Insurance companies can no longer have lifetime caps on benefits for insured persons or they can no longer have annual caps on benefits paid," Torres said.
Another change for families means preventative care, such as immunizations, will be free and included in all health plans.
And insurance companies will be held accountable. If insurance companies don't spend at least 80 percent of a person's premium dollar on medical care rather than advertising and bonuses for executives, Torres said they will have to provide the person a rebate.
You can log on to www.healthcare.gov for more information.

This gentleman bouncing on a unicycle has more energy than seems possible.
Just watching him is fatiguing.
His name is Peter Benes. He goes by "Benny".
Benny holds a world record for bouncing a unicycle up a flight of stairs, 299 stairs.
Benny decided to break that record this week by taking his unicycle bouncing up the stairs of Prague's TV tower. The tower is more than 700 feet tall and large enough to have a hotel room inside it.
Benny made it all the way up the 736 stairs to a viewing platform where he continued to bounce for the tired photographers who followed him the whole way.

Bush Inconsistencies on Policy Matters
Original post made by A Boomer on Jun 20, 2007
1. Sanctity of human life: Shrub has announced he will again veto a stem cell research bill that would use human embryos that otherwise would be destroyed, as he states that it crosses the ethical boundaries of dealing with human life. He gets an "F" since his administration appears to put limited value on human lives such as our injured armed forces members, who are getting poor medical care while still in the service and once into the VA system, as has been widely reported. The conditions in New Orleans, and the indifference the Shrub administration has exhibited to the human suffering still going on there is another reason for the F" grade.
2. Irresponsible government spending: Shrub has suddenly gotten indignant about the wasteful ways of Congress, now that the Democrats are back in power, and has the veto pen out again to make sure the federal budget stays under control. This is the same President conducting a multi-billion dollar war in Iraq "off the books," and who inherited a federal budget generating surpluses, and that is now showing deficits in the hundreds of billions of dollars. "F" grade, Shrub.
3. Extolling the virtues of democracy: Shrub expresses concerns about the lack of progress in Russia toward true democracy, props up the current Iraqi regime as "democratically elected,", and yet back-pedaled on supporting the Hamas party when it was democratically chosen by the Palestinians, and like virtually every other US administration, keeps quiet with the likes of China, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, among others, that have stable albeit non-democratic, regimes. Appears reliability is more important than democracy, which is a defensible "real politik" position, but much more difficult to reconcile with Shrub's simplistic belief that there is no problem that cannot be solved by a democratically chosen regime. F's in Political Science, History, Organizational Management, and Rhetoric.
I am among those that believe this is one of the worst administrations this country has ever had, so I come from that bias. Nevertheless, these are three very current examples of inconsistent, poorly thought out positions that are rife with contradictions and make it difficult, if not impossible for countries, states and private organizations to understand where the foundation in policy is. Agree or disagree with the Shrub Administration, on the three examples above, we all have the opportunity to do both, whatever position we take.
What was that about Kerry being a flip-flopper? Maybe cynicism is the only prevailing policy on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue these days.
on Jun 20, 2007 at 6:31 pm
This entire Bush presidency is quite simply the biggest con that's ever been played on the American people. Everything, from 9/11 to Iraq, has been carefully orchestrated to put money, money, money in the pockets of Bush/Cheney's cronies at Halliburton, et al. Think about it - the worse the war goes, the better: the more weaponry to be bought from defense contractors, the more reconstruction for Halliburton to get paid for... it never ends. It's a huge scam - Bush is NOT religious (none of them are, it's simply a very effective PR tool to get the Jaysus-lovin' masses behind them); they don't care about our country's security (or our ports would have been secured years ago); their only concern in the middle East is to destabilize it so they can send Halliburton in to "rebuild" on the taxpayer's dime. It's just a con game. The repercussions of this administration's greed, are the unfortunate side effects that we're all going to have to live with. I blame the yahoos that voted for these criminals - twice - because they needed a big, patriarchal daddy to protect them from the scary "terrists", causing the rest of us to be scammed along with those who deserved it. We are all going to be paying for
on Jun 20, 2007 at 6:34 pm
There is no evidence - no evidence whatsoever - that Bush has ever had an important thought or independently made an important decision in his entire life.
There is no evidence - none - that Bush has ever been in charge of anything in his entire life.
There is no evidence --it simply does not exist - that Bush has successfully accomplished anything - except for petty criminal acts - on his own ever in his entire life.
His religious "beliefs" are demonstrably fraudulent and obviously only exist because his owners told him to pretend to have them.
He does not for one second think that some people are good and some are evil, only that some are rich and the rest are worthless.
He did not steal two elections (his owners did that), he does not run this country (his owners do that), and he absolutely does not give one second's thought to anything approaching theology, ideology or philosophy, instead only saying what his owners put into his mouth.
on Jun 20, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Bush is a fascist. Period. End of story. He won't be happy until half the world is dead or on a water board at Guantanamo.
I am so disappointed when some naive souls apply ideology to his crimes give him and his bunch the benefit of the doubt about anything. They don't believe anything they say.They don't believe in anything, period. They don't care about evil, they don't care about good, they don't care about democracy. They want to get their way, which means maintaining an American empire and making their friends incredibly rich. There really isn't much more to say.

LAS VEGAS -- Nevadans looking to save their homes often find themselves unable to reach a deal with banks on their own sometimes reach out to the state mediation program.
The program is capable of reducing a monthly mortgage payment by more than half. Homeowners tired of dealing with their lending banks, by phone or by mail, have one chance to meet face-to-face.
"We built this house from the ground up. We bought the property and we said the blessings," homeowners Majid Hamidi said.
His home of 14 years near Silverado Ranch was his American Dream until he lost his job as a casino employee. He immigrated from Iran decades ago, taking his mother's Persian rugs with him.
"This is out of silk as well. She worked on that for six months. I brought it from home," he said, as he proudly shows his mother's handiwork. Today, he cannot afford the $2,000 mortgage payment and has defaulted. Hamidi took the 30-day window he had to seek state mediation.
"Our program is very well-known around the country. It's known as mediation with a kick," state mediation director Verise Campbell said.
Mediation Resources in Las Vegas
She directs Nevada's mediation program which is seen as a pioneer among more than 20 similar programs around the country.
"We require that the lender show up. We require that they participate in a certain fashion. We require that they present certain documentation," Campbell said.
"I've mediated 119 cases. The analogy I like to use best is -- imagine you're standing on a street corner and you're seeing an automobile accident about to happen and you're not allowed to holler, look out," mediator Marvin Longabaugh said.
He is a part-time mediator. He also represents clients going through the process. "One of the scariest things about being a mediator in the program is watching homeowners represent themselves and watching them make horrible mistakes, or make terrible deals and you couldn't stop it."
Hamidi got the help he needed. His payment was lowered to an affordable $700 a month. Not every mediation results in lower monthly payments. Other options include a forced short sale, forgiving the full debt in exchange for the home's deed or a cash payment from the banks to hand over the keys.
"The thought of losing it was painful. Trust me. The day we found out we were approved, we opened up two or three bottles of champagne," Hamidi said.
But for every successful mediation there are two more that are stalled in the courts. A table loaded with piles of papers tells the story. They are documents that weren't filed properly by banks causing the underwater homeowners to gasp for air.
Out of 12,000 Nevadans seeking mortgage mediation, only one-third get to stay in their homes.

Why do LED screens use the virtual pixel technology, and what exactly is it? The virtual pixel is a video-management feature that allows a 400% increase in image quality. LED screen manufacturers use it to show better quality, realistic-looking images.
But why do LED screens need to increase the image quality through a video-management feature in first place? It's pretty simple: despite its huge size, an LED screen usually has many less pixels than the common computer screen you are looking at right now. How is that possible? Because on an LED display, the distance between two pixels can be up to 30mm or even more. As a result, on a normal computer screen, you have 1024x768 physical pixels or more while on a 4x3 meters LED wall you have 192x144 physical pixels. Big difference!
So how can we actually see anything on an LED screen with a resolution of only 192x144 (27.648 physical pixels total)? Easy! Thanks to the virtual pixel technology, we can double the number of pixels in length and in height. Therefore we can increase the number of pixels perceived by the human eye by four times. So the same screen with virtual pixel technology will have a perceived resolution of 384x288 pixels (or 110.592 pixels). Isn't that beautiful?
Now you are probably asking how is that possible? Well, there are two different types of virtual pixels: geometrical/squared and interpolated. In Part 1 of this article we will discuss the geometrical/squared virtual pixel technology.
This technology is based on pretty simple geometrical concepts. If you have two identical shapes placed next to each other, by taking half of each shape you can create other two identical shapes. For example, if you have two identical pixels lying next to each other, by taking half of each pixel, you can create two more pixels identical to the first two, doubling the number of pixels from two to four. Now imagine to double the number of pixels you have in length, and with the same technique double the number of pixels you have in height: to increase the number of pixels (and therefore the image quality) by 400%.
There are some limitations and side effects of this technology, especially when compared with the interpolated technology. The geometrical/squared virtual pixel technique uses half of two adjacent pixels to create other two. It is pretty easy and straightforward once you understand the mechanism, but there is one limitation.
We just saw how two adjacent pixels can create another two by "switching" the side LEDs of each pixel. In this case everything worked fine because the distance between the LEDs is the same distance between the pixels. But let's say for example that I have an LED screen with a bigger pixel pitch for higher viewing distances. What happens if the distance between LEDs and pixels is not the same anymore? In this case the virtual pixel is not identical to the real pixel anymore. The virtual pixels are more stretched than the real ones and therefore the overall image quality will be affected.
Over the past 15 years some manufacturers developed a technology that allows going beyond these limitations and guaranteeing a superior image quality with any resolution. Does it mean that the geometrical/squared virtual pixel is not a good technology? Well, let's just say that it is definitely not the most recent one. Some LED wall manufacturers still use it, so when considering your LED screen supplier, make you check how their virtual pixel technology works.
Part 2 of this article will be featured in an upcoming Live Design Projection Now eWire.
Fabio Aversa is marketing manager for Euro Display LED screens, an LED screen manufacturer and supplier founded in 1978.

The heterotrimeric Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) complex is a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-like clamp that is loaded onto DNA at structures resulting from damage, and is important for initiating and maintaining checkpoint signaling. Rad9 possesses a C-terminal tail unrelated to PCNA that is phosphorylated constitutively and in response to cell cycle position and DNA damage. Previous studies have identified tousled-like kinase 1 (TLK1) as a kinase that may modify Rad9. This thesis establishes that Rad9 is indeed phosphorylated in a TLK-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo, and that T355 within the C-terminal tail is the primary targeted residue. Phosphorylation of Rad9 at T355 is quickly reduced upon exposure to ionizing radiation before returning to baseline later in the damage response. In addition, TLK1 and Rad9 were shown to interact constitutively, and this interaction is enhanced in chromatin-bound Rad9 at later stages of the damage response. Furthermore, this thesis demonstrates that TLK1 is required for progression through S-phase in normally cycling cells, and that depletion of TLK1 results in a prolonged G2/M arrest upon exposure to ionizing radiation, a phenotype that is mimicked by over-expression of a Rad9-T355A mutant. Given that TLK1 is transiently inactivated upon phosphorylation by Chk1 in response to DNA damage, this work proposes that TLK1 and Chk1 act in concert to modulate the phosphorylation status of Rad9, which in turn plays a role in regulating the DNA damage response.

PakB co-localizes with myosin-I to actin-rich regions of the cell, including macropinocytic cups and the leading edge of migrating cells. Here we show that the cellular localization of PakB depends on the N-terminal region which contains an actin filament binding module and two proline-rich motifs that interact with the SH3 domain of actin-binding protein 1 (dAbp1). dAbp1 co-localized with PakB to actin-rich sites, but in PakBˉ (PakB null) cells dAbp1 adopted a diffuse cytosolic distribution. Overexpression of dAbp1 in PakBˉ cells produced SH3 domain-dependent defects in early development, cell polarization and chemotaxis. We conclude that PakB plays a critical role in regulating the cellular functions of the dAbp1 SH3 domain. PakBˉ cells exhibited a disrupted cortical actin layer and were extremely sensitive to external stresses induced by compression and electroporation. PakBˉ cells showed severe chemotaxis defects when forced to migrate under agarose. The defects were rescued by expression of full-length PakB but not an N-terminal fragment of PakB. The results suggest that loss of PakB kinase activity is responsible for the cortical defects. Immunoblot analysis showed that phosphorylation of MyoD at the TEDS site was significantly reduced in PakBˉ cells. We propose that activation of myosin-I motor activity by PakB plays a critical role in stabilizing the cortical actin cytoskeleton. D. discoideum myosin-II heavy chain kinase A (MHCK-A) is a member of the alpha-kinase family. Competition experiments with Mant-ADP showed that MHCK-A bound ATP with Ki values of 18 and 160 µM in the presence and absence of Mg2+, respectively. ADP and AMP bound 3-fold and 9-fold more weakly than ATP, respectively. The results show that Mg2+ and the nucleotide phosphoryl groups substantially contribute to binding. Mutations of residues in the Pi-pocket and N/D-loop reduced the binding affinity for MgATP, showing that both regulatory sites are coupled to the active site. Phosphorylation of SPOT peptide arrays with MHCK-A revealed a consensus sequence of T-φ/K-φ/K-K/R and showed also phosphorylation of non-Thr-containing peptides.

The chromosomal translocation 1;19, disrupts the E2A gene and results in the expression of the fusion oncoprotein E2A-PBX1, which is implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Both E2A and E2A-PBX1 contain two activation domains, AD1 and AD2, which comprise conserved ΦxxΦΦ motifs where Φ denotes a hydrophobic amino acid. These domains function to recruit transcriptional co-activators and repressors, including the histone acetyl transferase CREB binding protein (CBP) and its paralog p300. The PCET motif within E2A AD1 interacts with the KIX domain of CBP/p300, the disruption of which abrogates the transcriptional activation by E2A and the transformative properties of E2A-PBX1. The generation of a peptide-based inhibitor targeting the PCET:KIX interaction would serve useful in further assessing the role of E2A and E2A-PBX1 in lymphopoiesis and leukemogenesis. An interaction between E2A AD2 and the KIX domain has also been recently identified, and the TAZ domains of CBP/p300 have been shown to interact with several transcription factors that contain ΦxxΦΦ motifs. Thus the design of an inhibitor of the E2A:CBP/p300 interaction requires the full complement of interactions between E2A and the various domains of CBP/p300 to be elucidated. Here, we have used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine that AD2 interacts with KIX at the same site as PCET, which indicates that the E2A:KIX interaction can be disrupted by targeting a single binding site. Using an iterative synthetic peptide microarray approach, a peptide with the sequence DKELQDLLDFSLQY was derived from PCET to interact with KIX with higher affinity than the wild type sequence. This peptide now serves as a lead molecule for further development as an inhibitor of the E2A:CBP/p300 interaction. Fluorescence anisotropy, peptide microarray technology, and isothermal titration calorimetry were employed to characterize interactions between both TAZ domains of CBP/p300 and the PCET motif and AD2 of E2A. Alanine substitution of residues within PCET demonstrated that the ΦxxΦΦ motif is a key mediator of these interactions, analogous to the PCET:KIX interaction. These findings now inform future work to establish possible physiological roles for the E2A:TAZ1 and E2A:TAZ2 interactions.

This thesis shows a comprehensive study of glycosylation on a variety of human prostate cell lines. Cell surface glycans were analyzed using lectins and antibodies. Glycans were also released from glycoproteins, purified and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. The enzymatic activities and expression levels of glycosyltransferases responsible for the syntheses of N- and O-glycans have been determined and correlated with glycan structures. We found that prostate cells are capable of synthesizing complex N-glycans and core 1 based O-glycans, and that each cell line has characteristic glycosylation pathways. Elevated levels of truncated O-glycans including sialyl-T and di-sialyl-T antigens were detected in prostate cancer cell lines. Complex O-glycans without sialic acid residues constituted the major O-glycans in normal prostate cells, but sialyl-T antigens were prevalent in the most aggressive prostate cancer cells derived from bone metastasis (PC-3). The expression and activity of sialyltransferase ST3Gal-I, responsible for the synthesis of sialyl-T antigens, were up-regulated in PC-3 cells, providing a mechanism for sialyl-T expression. Forced down-regulation of ST3Gal-I by RNA interfering technology as well as neuraminidase treatments of cells were employed to modify cellular glycosylation, and indicated a critical role of sialic acid in the regulation of apoptosis. These observations facilitate the identification of prostate cancer markers and help to understand the importance of glycans in cancer progression. To elucidate mechanisms of glycosylation and develop glycosyltransferase inhibitors, we characterized recombinant soluble human Gal- and GlcNAc-transferases that synthesize O-glycan cores 1 to 4, critical for the overall structures of O-glycans. The biochemical properties and substrate specificities of these enzymes were determined using synthetic acceptor substrate analogs. These collective results were used to develop novel glycosyltransferase inhibitors, including acceptor substrate analogs and bivalent imidazolium salts. These compounds inhibited selected glycosyltransferases, and thus have the potential to modify cellular glycans for functional studies. Glycosyltransferase inhibitors could also be used in biotechnology and in therapeutic applications to increase the apoptotic potential of prostate cancer cells.
