Mipcom 2012: Lionsgate's 'Nashville' Sells to U.K.'s Channel Four (Exclusive)
Four of the new U.S. primetime network dramas -- Nashville, Beauty and the Beast, Revolution and Last Resort-- are closing in on the last remaining big prize in the international market: sealing a deal with a picky British broadcaster.
And why bother?
Because the license fees paid by the main terrestrial players in that territory are some of the highest that the major Hollywood studios pocket each year. Drama series are by far the most lucrative assets the American studios pitch to the foreign market each year.
On Wednesday morning at Mipcom a deal was closed by Lionsgate for its primetime country-inflected sudser Nashville with Channel Four. The contract for the Connie Britton-Hayden Panettiere vehicle was likely to be officially unveiled later in the day in Cannes by that station's top buyer, Gill Hay. That deal comes on the very day the show launches Stateside on ABC.
And CBS Studios Intl president Armando Nunez confirmed that a deal had been clenched in the U.K. for Beauty and the Beast but added that the announcement would be unveiled by the acquirer next week in London.
The young-skewing series toplining Kristin Kreuk premiers Stateside Thursday on the CW, which Nunez said has effectively broadened the demo appeal of its latest crop of primetime shows. The British buyer of the show is thought to be ITV or C5, but neither could be reached for comment in Cannes.
Meanwhile, over at the Warner Bros. exhibition booth, that major's international president confirmed that its J.J. Abrams hour Revolution is entertaining "multiple bids" in the U.K.
"Despite a few naysayers during the Screenings, look what's happened: The show (on NBC) has grown in the demo from week to week. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to wait to sell," WBIT's Jeffrey Schlesinger told THR. (The Screenings in May are where foreign program buyers first see the new crop of U.S. network dramas and sitcoms.)
Nearby at the Sony stand that major's head of distribution Keith LeGoy said three different potential customers in Britain were now "highly interested" in his company's hour drama toplining Andre Braugher and created by Shawn Ryan. An eventual deal for Last Resortwas not in doubt, he intimated, pointing to the series performance so far on ABC.
As for the price per episode for such series, no buyer or seller ever officially divulges such a thing, but outside veterans of the biz suggest the top-tier U.S. titles can go for $1 million an episode in that one territory alone. When there's stiff competition, prices can escalate further, and have on occasion, most famously for Desperate Housewives a few years ago; the average fee nowadays though has likely settled around $750,000-$800,000.
Of the five major markets in Europe, the U.K. is essentially the only one where the U.S. majors sell their series piecemeal, one-by-one on the open market. As a general rule, they have locked-in, multi-year output deals in Germany, France, Italy and Spain and hence the dramas (and a few comedies) go to the ongoing broadcast partner in each case in those countries.
To be sure, several of the new fall dramas had already been scooped up during the summer by Sky TV in the U.K., which has emerged as a key outlet there for prime U.S. series. The Rupert Murdoch-owned satcaster snapped up Warners.' Arrowand The Following and CBS Studios Intl.'s Elementary and Vegas back in July; through an output arrangement that player also takes most of HBO's product, including its latest drama Newsroom.
Channel 4, Five and ITV are regular customers as well, with the BBC buying American product only very occasionally.

- Effect of process variables on the density and durability of the pellets
made from high moisture corn stover
- Abstract: Publication date: March 2014
Source:Biosystems Engineering, Volume 119
Author(s): Jaya Shankar Tumuluru
A flat die pellet mill was used to understand the effect of high levels of feedstock moisture content in the range of 28–38% (w.b.), with die rotational speeds of 40–60 Hz, and preheating temperatures of 30–110 °C on the pelleting characteristics of 4.8 mm screen size ground corn stover using an 8 mm pellet die. The physical properties of the pelletised biomass studied are: (a) pellet moisture content, (b) unit, bulk and tapped density, and (c) durability. Pelletisation experiments were conducted based on central composite design. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that feedstock moisture content influenced all of the physical properties at P < 0.001. Pellet moisture content decreased with increase in preheating temperature to about 110 °C and decreasing the feedstock moisture content to about 28% (w.b.). Response surface models developed for quality attributes with respect to process variables has adequately described the process with coefficient of determination (R 2) values of >0.88. The other pellet quality attributes such as unit, bulk, tapped density, were maximised at feedstock moisture content of 30–33% (w.b.), die speeds of >50 Hz and preheating temperature of >90 °C. In case of durability a medium moisture content of 33–34% (w.b.) and preheating temperatures of >70 °C and higher die speeds >50 Hz resulted in high durable pellets. It can be concluded from the present study that feedstock moisture content, followed by preheating, and die rotational speed are the interacting process variables influencing pellet moisture content, unit, bulk and tapped density and durability.

- Abstract: Publication date: September 2013

Author(s): Gang J. Tu , Henrik Karstoft , Lene J. Pedersen , Erik Jørgensen
This paper develops a simple and effective method for detection of sows and piglets in grayscale video recordings of farrowing pens. This approach consists of three stages: background updating, calculation of pseudo-wavelet coefficients and foreground object segmentation. In the first stage, the texture integration is used to update the background modelling (i.e. the reference image). In the second stage, we apply an "à trous" wavelet transform on the current reference image and then perform subtraction between the current original image and the approximation of the current reference image. In the third stage, the pairwise relationships between a pixel and its neighbours on a factor graph are modelled based on the pseudo-wavelet coefficients, and the image probabilities are approximated by using loopy belief propagation. Experiments have shown promising results in extracting foreground objects from complex farrowing pen scenes, such as sudden light changes and dynamic background as well as motionless foreground objects.

- Rapid estimation of soil engineering properties using diffuse reflectance
near infrared spectroscopy

Author(s): Bernard K. Waruru , Keith D. Shepherd , George M. Ndegwa , Peter T. Kamoni , Andrew M. Sila
Materials testing involve complex reference methods and several soil tests have been used for indexing material functional attributes for civil engineering applications. However, conventional laboratory methods are expensive, slow and often imprecise. The potential of soil diffuse reflectance near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for the rapid estimation of selected key engineering soil properties was investigated. Two samples sets representing different soils from across the Lake Victoria basin of Kenya were used for the study: A model calibration set (n = 136) was obtained using a conditioned Latin hypercube sampling, and a validation set (n = 120) using a spatially stratified random sampling strategy. Spectral measurements were obtained for air-dried (<2 mm) soil sub-samples using a Fourier-transform diffuse reflectance near infrared (NIR) spectrometer. Soil laboratory reference data were also obtained for liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), plasticity index (PI), linear shrinkage (LS), coefficient of linear extensibility (COLE), volumetric shrinkage (VS), clay activity number (Ac), total clay content, air-dried moisture content, and cation exchange capacity (CEC). Soil reference data were calibrated to smoothed first derivative NIR spectra using partial least squares (PLS) regression. At the calibration stage, coefficient of determination for full cross-validation (R 2) of ≥0.70 was obtained for CEC, mc, LL, PI, LS, COLE and VS. Further independent validation gave R 2 ≥ 0.70 and RPD (ratio of reference data SD and root mean square error of prediction) 1.7–2.2 for LL, PI, mc and CEC. The results suggested that NIR–PLS has potential for the rapid estimation of several key soil engineering properties. Further work should focus on extending calibration libraries using more diverse soil types and testing alternative infrared diffuse reflectance based methods.

- Prototype semi-transparent photovoltaic modules for greenhouse roof
- Abstract: Publication date: June 2014
Source:Biosystems Engineering, Volume 122
Author(s): Akira Yano , Mahiro Onoe , Josuke Nakata
Improved energy efficiency and the increased use of renewable energy are important objectives for sustainable greenhouse crop production. Two prototypes of semi-transparent-bifacial photovoltaic modules intended for greenhouse roof applications were developed. A module (PV1) using 1500 spherical solar microcells (1.8 mm diameter, crystalline silicon) with 15.4 cells cm−2 density in 108 mm × 90 mm area was produced. Thirty-nine percent of the area was covered with the cells. The remaining 61% was transparent to allow the most sunlight to enter the greenhouse for promising plant photosynthesis. Similarly, a module (PV2) was made using 500 cells with 5.1 cells cm−2 density. Thirteen percent of the area of this module was covered with the cells. The peak power output was 540 mW when the PV1 module was irradiated with 1213 W m−2 sunlight coming directly from the sky and via ground reflection. The peak power output was 202 mW when the PV2 module was irradiated with 1223 W m−2 sunlight. The conversion efficiencies from sunlight energy irradiated on the 108 mm × 90 mm area into electrical energy were 4.5% for the PV1 module and 1.6% for the PV2 module. Calculations of the annual electrical energy production per unit greenhouse land area indicated that these modules are potentially suitable for greenhouses in high-irradiation regions where electricity production could be high and winter demand low.

Title: Obtaining information about non-native Maurandella antiffhiniflora seeds
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants: My Mother and I love to see all the beautiful Snapdragons blooming each year. We never know when to actually plant the seeds in order to have the Snapdragons come up and bloom by this time of year. Can you tell me when to plant the seeds? Thank you so much.
ANSWER:Although there are some attractive North American native snapdragons, e.g., Coulter's Snapdragon (Sairocarpus coulterianus) and Climbing snapdragon (Maurandella antirrhiniflora), I suspect that you are talking about the snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) which is native to the Mediterranean. Although our focus and expertise is with plants native to North America, we can point you to information from Floridata.com and the BackyardGardener.com on the care of this beautiful non-native snapdragon.

Government grows in Louisiana
August 02, 2007 at 3:44 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
"This is a huge increase in state government," said Loren Scott, professor emeritus of economics at Louisiana State University. "As long as it's not the only growing factor, it's not terrible. But you have to watch this. It's not the textbook example of how to grow your economy."
Governor Blanco's recent veto of the tax relief on businesses' utilities only serves to exacerbate the problem. She continues to go on junkets to England and elsewhere to recruit businesses while screwing the businesses already in Louisiana. That attitude is not lost on those she seeks to recruit. That is why she has had so little success in getting new businesses in the state while the exodus of existing businesses continues unabated.
Government retarding the economy? This data shows the result of expanding state government and ignoring the private sector economy.
While it is only anecdotal evidence, I suggest that the private sector is not growing because of the growth in state government.

Shorthanded Lakers take down Nets in Brooklyn for sixth win in their last seven games
Feb 5, 2013, 11:33 PM EDT
The Lakers came into Brooklyn on Tuesday to face a Nets team that was 12-4 over its last 16 games, and did so without the services of Dwight Howard, who was out again due to pain in his right shoulder, and Metta World Peace, who was serving a league-mandated one-game suspension for his actions against Brandon knight of the Pistons on Sunday.
None of that mattered to L.A., as they powered through the adversity for a 92-83 win that was the Lakers' sixth victory in the team's last seven games.
Only Brook Lopez, who will be representing the Nets in the All-Star game as an injury replacement for Rajon Rondo, did any real and consistent damage for Brooklyn, finishing with a game-high 30 points to go along with 11 rebounds. But it's worth noting it took him 25 shots to get there.
Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and four steals, but shot just 9-of-24 from the field while doing so.
The teams appeared evenly matched for the majority of the game, with Brooklyn struggling to create easy opportunities offensively. The officiating seemed to be in the Lakers' favor, but more importantly, the ragtag lineup off the bench that L.A. threw out there while the starters got their rest produced unexpectedly, which helped the Lakers' winning effort.
L.A. outscored Brooklyn 35-16 in the second quarter, thanks in large part to the job the bench lineup consisting of Steve Blake, Chris Duhon, Robert Sacre, and Jodie Meeks did to start the period, alongside starter Earl Clark. Somewhat surprisingly, the Nets bench couldn't get anything going against these guys, and the Lakers regained control with the reserves, before the starters came back in to push the lead to double digits before settling for a nine-point lead at intermission.
The Nets went on a big 20-6 run that took up a large chunk of the third, after falling behind by 13 points to start the second half. The game was close throughout the fourth, before a layup from Bryant and a jumper from Clark with under two minutes remaining helped the Lakers pull away and seal the victory,
Pau Gasol left the game with 3:52 remaining in the fourth quarter with an injury to his right foot and did not return. The Lakers announced afterward that Gasol had a "plantar fascia strain," and that he would have an MRI Wednesday in Boston to determine the extent of the injury.
Gasol said afterward that he heard a "pop," and left the locker room on crutches.
As nice as it was to beat a Nets team that is eight games over .500 on their home floor, the season's bigger picture is in serious jeopardy depending on the severity of Gasol's injury. Already without Howard for an indefinite amount of time, the Lakers can't afford to miss too many games with Gasol sidelined as well, especially given the hole they've dug for themselves in terms of simply trying to make the playoffs this season.

Bullpen struggles as Cutch-less Pirates fall
Pirates/MLB Videos
Life without Andrew McCutchen began Tuesday, and it went as expected for the Pirates: Life was difficult.
The Pirates do not know how long they will be without the reigning National League MVP after he tore rib cartilage Sunday in Arizona. What they know following a 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday is they have a much slimmer margin for error.
The Pirates need other lineup complements to step up, better defensive play and improved pitching to weather the loss of McCutchen and remain in the postseason race. They received little of those as they returned to PNC Park.
The Pirates' bats mostly were quiet, and the Marlins scored five times off an embattled bullpen in the eighth inning. It was the 18th blown save by the Pirates, matching Colorado for the National League lead.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said one of his few consistent relievers, Tony Watson, was not available.
"We didn't meet the demands of the game in the eighth inning," Hurdle said. "We just didn't get the things done we needed to get done."
With one out and runners on first and second in the eighth, Justin Wilson relieved Jared Hughes (6-3). Wilson's struggles continued as he allowed a pinch-hit single to Jeff Baker to load the bases. Wilson then walked Marcell Ozuna to force in Giancarlo Stanton, tying the score at 2-2. Wilson was not close with four of his five pitches to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, the following batter, walking him to force in Casey McGehee and give the Marlins a 3-2 lead.
Wilson was pulled and left the field to a cascade of boos. His walk rate increased to 5.3 walks per nine innings, and his ERA rose to 4.89.
Jeanmar Gomez relieved Wilson and allowed the Marlins' lead to balloon. He surrendered an RBI single to Adeiny Hechavarria and an RBI double to Christian Yelich. The Marlins led 6-2 after the inning.
"You can't let it bring you down," Hughes said. "It's really big to stay positive and go out there tomorrow."
While the bullpen struggled, runs also were harder to come by without McCutchen anchoring the lineup.
It's difficult to overstate how critical the loss of McCutchen is. McCutchen entered Tuesday leading the club in average (.311), on-base percentage (.411) and slugging percentage (.536), home runs (17), runs (64), RBIs (67) and walks (68).
The Pirates will need other players such as Gaby Sanchez to step up.
Sanchez stranded Josh Harrison at second in the sixth inning after Harrison doubled. After crushing left-handed pitching for the majority of his career, Sanchez entered batting just .253 against lefties.
"This has been an outlier year for him against left-handed pitching," Hurdle said.
The Pirates need more from Gregory Polanco.
The prized rookie, who entered having struggled against left-handed pitching (.172 average), dropped to seventh in the order against lefties. Polanco offered some encouragement as he slashed a fastball from left-handed starter Brad Hand for a run-scoring single that gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead in the seventh. The hit knocked Hand from the game.
Hand allowed just one other run, when Jordy Mercer doubled home Starling Marte in the third. Marte returned from a concussion Tuesday and took McCutchen's place in center field.
More than anything, the Pirates need better starting pitching.
Charlie Morton responded with a quality effort, allowing one run over seven innings. He allowed six hits, walked four and struck out four. Morton generated 11 groundouts.
But the Pirates will need more than one player to step up in McCutchen's absence. They will need better collective efforts while missing perhaps the best player in the National League.

Q. How did you land on salt, sugar, and fat as your way to write about the industry? Why these three ingredients?
A. I'd been investigating a surge in deadly outbreaks of E. coli in meat when an industry source, a microbiologist, suggested that if I wanted to see an even bigger public health hazard, I should look at what food companies were intentionally adding to their products, starting with salt. And sure enough, when I looked at this--by gaining access to high level industry officials and a trove of sensitive, internal records--a window opened on how aggressive the industry was wielding not only salt, but sugar and fat, too. These are the pillars of processed foods, the three ingredients without which there would be no processed foods. Salt, sugar and fat drive consumption by adding flavor and allure. But surprisingly, they also mask bitter flavors that develop in the manufacturing process. They enable these foods to sit in warehouses or on the grocery shelf for months. And, most critically to the industry's financial success, they are very inexpensive.
Q. So, how big is the processed food industry, exactly? What kind of scale are we talking about here?
A. Huge. Grocery sales now top $1 trillion a year in the U.S., with more than 300 manufacturers employing 1.4 million workers, or 12 percent of all American manufacturing jobs. Global sales exceed $3 trillion. But the figure I find most revealing is 60,000: That's the number of different products found on the shelves of our largest supermarkets.
Q. How did this get so big?
A. The food processing industry is more than a century old--if you count the invention of breakfast cereals--so it's been steady growth. But things really took off in the 1950s with the promotion of convenience foods whose design and marketing was aimed at the increasing numbers of families with both parents working outside the home. The industry's expansion, since then, has been entirely unrestrained. While food safety is heavily regulated, the government has been industry's best friend and partner in encouraging Americans to become more dependent on processed foods.
Q. What three things should a health-conscious supermarket shopper keep in mind?
A. The most alluring products--those with the highest amounts of salt, sugar and fat--are strategically placed at eye-level on the grocery shelf. You typically have to stoop down to find, say, plain oatmeal. (Healthier products are generally up high or down low.) Companies also play the better-nutrition card by plastering their packaging with terms like "all natural," "contains whole grains," "contains real fruit juice," and "lean," which belie the true contents of the products. Reading labels is not easy. Only since the 1990s have the manufacturers even been required to reveal the true salt, sugar, fat and caloric loads of their products, which are itemized in a box called the "nutrient facts." But one game that many companies still play is to divide these numbers in half, or even thirds, by reporting this critical information per serving--which are typically tiny portions. In particular, they do this for cookies and chips, knowing that most people can't resist eating the entire three-serving bag. Check it out sometime. See how many "servings" that little bag of chips contains.

ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review - Final ThoughtsASRocks Fatal1ty series joins the latest Z68 platform and we see how the new Professional Gen3 goes. Let's get into it.
Final Thoughts
The $249.99 US price tag means that the Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 comes in $40 US cheaper than the Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 we just looked at. The big push behind the new Gen3 boards is the fact they're of course PCIe 3.0 ready and while that doesn't mean so much at the moment, come the next generation of at least AMD video cards and it will mean more along with the release of Ivy Bridge when we finally see it.
The biggest cost associated with the Extreme7 over this board, though, is the NF200 chipset and while it's not the most important thing for single card setups or even two card ones, if you're interested in going down the path of three it's worth having.
There's a few other things that separate the boards, though, the Extreme7 I think looks a bit cleaner thanks to the fact it doesn't have the aging Floppy and IDE connector and I like the inclusion of the DisplayPort connector on the Extreme7. The price difference isn't heaps, though, and what will probably determine the board you buy will probably no doubt be the overall look.
The Fatal1ty board is a good looking one as you'd expect; it's so nice to see that we have the ability to easily change the BIOS background now, though, and to be honest the BIOS background has been something that people have brought up in the past. It's great to see that it's no longer an issue and we can just enjoy everything the board has to offer.
The Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 is a really good all round board that looks the part, offers some great performance and supports the next generation of PCIe connectivity. Priced at just under that magical $250 US mark as well, even if it's only by 1c, coming in under $250 US is going to be a bonus for people.
If you wanted to jump on the Fatal1ty motherboard bandwagon earlier but found yourself a little disappointed that ASRock didn't offer a Z68 option, you don't have to worry now with the Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3.

Skype interview 40 mins : Software development related questions and few question from mathematics. Interviewer were nice and did not ask any unrelated question. The position was explained well and it was made clear that the position is to design and develop User interface and graphics domain knowledge is not required.
2nd round : Have to fix a programming code. Now this was the bad part as the programming problem was graphics domain related and the test was time bound (3 days).
Why this was bad : You want to hire a fish to swim and you are judging him by his ability to climb trees.
I think they have a standard programming problem which they give to all the candidates.I developed a scalable solution(faster as cpu cores increase) with SIMD optimizations. But the interviewer was not happy with the documentation I did. I documented the classes with their methods and parameters and I did write comments wherever I thought might help the reviewer ( I worked under strict FDA regulations and I know what a well documented code looks like).
Some recommendations to Crytek:
1. Judge the person based on the open position and its requirements. Not everyone in a hospital is a Doctor.
2. People were nice and polite. Keep it like that.
3. Please give the deadlines for programming test in man hours rather than days as 3 - 4 days for a working guy translate into 6 - 8 hrs of programming time as they are still employed and no body takes the day off for such occasions.Interview Questions

Title: Grapevine at the Wildflower Center
Answered by: Mike Tomme
QUESTION:Hello :) I recently visited the Lady Bird Wildflower Center for Goblins in the Garden. I'm curious if you all know exactly what type of grape is growing in the back of the garden near the "Healing Garden". This was behind the beautiful owl and in front of the gallery. The leaves had a very soft, fuzzy feel and the grapes were a dark purple during our visit. Thanks!
The plant you are referring to is almost certainly Vitis mustangensis (Mustang grape). There are a couple of other vines growing on that same arbor, including Lonicera sempervirens (Coral honeysuckle) and Wisteria frutescens (American wisteria), but mustang grape fits your description.
Mustang grapes are native to most of the eastern half of Texas. They are an important food source for birds and small mammals. People use them to make jelly (here's a recipe) and wine (here's how).

Brandt Snedeker wins Canadian Open
Johnson was tied for the lead after a birdie on No. 16, then drove out of bounds and hit the lip of a fairway bunker en route to a triple-bogey 7 on the par-4 17th. He finished with a 70.
"I was playing really well," Johnson said. "Really confident, swinging the driver really good. So you know, it's a driver hole for me, and I just blocked it a little bit. Made a poor swing. ... Not too happy, but I felt really good with my golf game. ... It's nothing, nothing to worry about. I'll go get them next weekend."
McGirt had a 68, and Kuchar and Bohn shot 71.
David Hearn was the top Canadian, shooting a 73 to tie for 44th at 4 under.
"It wasn't the finish that I was really looking for. I had a nice chance today," said Hearn, a playoff loser in the John Deere Classic. "I'll take away some positives from the week. I appreciate the support from everyone here this week and it always feels good to play at home."
Mike Weir tied for 49th at 3 under after a 72.
"I'm playing fine. Just missing too many short putts," Weir said. "I missed a number the last couple days inside 6, 7 feet, just missing way too many of those. You need those to keep your round going sometimes and I just didn't capitalize when I had opportunities."
Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner, taking the 1954 event at Point Grey in Vancouver. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913.

Huawei's looking to come to town with another low-end device, it seems, as the Huawei Prism – model number U8651T – has passed the FCC. Its model number seems to position it close to the Huawei Sonic, a device which launched on T-Mobile last year. It had a 3.5 inch display, 512MB of RAM, Android 2.3 and more.
