Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Refers to digital video recorder, also known as personal video recorder. According to the Television Advertising Bureau, a DVR or PVR records broadcasts on a hard disk drive that can then be played back at a later time (this is known as time shifting). A DVR often enables smart programming, in which the device records an entire series or programming defined by keywords, genre, or personnel; and offers pause control over "live" broadcasts.
Early evening newscasts
Local affiliate newscasts between 5 and 7 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific zones and 6 to 8 p.m. in the Mountain and Central zones.
Fox Stations
Not associated with a network news division, Fox stations generally counter-program their network affiliated (ABC, CBS, NBC) stations within their market. This means they air news during network newscasts in the morning (while Good Morning America, CBS Early and Today are on) and evening (World News, Nightly News and Evening News) and for late news during the last hour of primetime (10 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific time zones and 9 p.m. in the Central and Mountain time zones).

Various technical systems providing a finer and wider TV picture and usually twice as many scanning lines as standard TV. According to the Television Advertising Bureau, it provides the highest quality picture and sound simultaneously with a substantial data delivery service.
Independent Station
Stations not affiliated with any network; usually refers to commercial stations only.
Late news
Local affiliate newscasts from 11 to 11:30 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific zones and 10 to 10:30 p.m. in the Central and Mountain zones. These newscasts generally follow prime-time entertainment programming and precede late-night talk shows including The Tonight Show (NBC) and The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS); ABC late newscasts are followed by Nightline. Fox stations generally air news at 10 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific zones and 9 p.m. in the Central and Mountain zones.

Nielsen Media Research
A firm involved in local and national measurement of the TV audience; also involved in other research activities.
Persons Using Television (PUT)
According to the Television Advertising Bureau, a PUT is a measurement of the total number of people in the target audience who are watching television for five minutes or longer during an average quarter-hour. PUT is generally expressed as a percent.
A percentage measure of total households or population owning TVs who are tuned to a particular program or station at a specific time (e.g., a six rating for women 18-49 means 6 percent of all women 18-49 in the defined geographic area were viewing that station or program), according to the Television Advertising Bureau.
Rating Point
A value equal to one percent of a population or universe, such as the population of a Designated Market Area.
Retransmission consent
An option granted to television stations as part of the law that granted such stations the option to elect must-carry rights. Under retransmission consent, a full-power U.S. television station may elect to negotiate with a cable system operator for carriage of its broadcast programming. A station may propose that the cable operator pay cash to carry the station or ask for any other form of consideration. The cable operator may refuse the broadcaster's proposal and not carry the station or offer a counter-proposal. Broadcast stations have similar rights with respect to satellite television providers like DirecTV and Dish Network.
Reverse compensation
The practice of a commercial television station paying a television network in exchange for being permitted to affiliate with that network. The word "reverse" refers to the historical practice of networks paying stations to compensate them for the airtime networks use to run network advertisements during their programming.
The Television Advertising Bureau defines share as the percent of households (household share) or persons (P2+ share) using television who are tuned to a specific program, network or station at a specific time.
Strategic buyer
Usually from a similar industry and typically has a specific reason for wanting to buy a particular company. The strategic buyer will frequently be willing to pay a premium price in order to obtain a company possessing that quality.
Spot TV
The advertising time purchased from individual stations. There are two major types local and national. Local spots are purchased in one market and aimed only at the audience in that particular market. National spots are bought by national advertisers in several markets.
Ratings surveys in which local markets are simultaneously measured by a rating service. Nielsen Media Research measures television audiences to help the industry determine advertising rates for television stations. Sweeps months are generally February, May, July and November. In anticipation of the federally mandated switch to digital television in 2009, Nielsen elected to change the winter sweep month from February to March.
Television Household
An estimate of the number of households that have one or more television sets.
A designated time on a television schedule for a particular program or type of programming.
Collectively, the viewers of a television program.
Local TV Audience Measurements
To gauge audience, the television industry relies on two metrics — share and ratings.
Share indicates the percentage of the television sets in use that are tuned to a program at a given time. If, for example, 500 television sets are turned on in Orlando, Fla., and 250 are tuned to the 7 p.m. news hour on WKCF-TV, then that station gets a 50 share for that time slot.
Ratings, on the other hand, step back a level and indicate the percentage of households tuned to a program out of all households with television sets — not just those in use but also those that are turned off. In the same example, if Orlando had 1,000 television sets in total, with 250 tuned to WKCF-TV for the 7 p.m. news, then it would get a rating of 25.
In previous reports, PEJ gathered the May sweeps audience data for network-affiliated stations using the Nielsen audience estimates that were included in the database from BIA Financial Network, a media research and investment firm. We then calculated averages for the early evening and late night newscasts, combining them into a national average. The data, going back to 1997, allowed us make comparisons year to year. With the 2007 report, we expanded our data sample to get a different perspective. We now look at local news market audience by examining ratings and share during the four sweeps months — February, May, July, and November – which are the months advertisers use to determine what to buy.
Audience Measurements: Ratings and Share
The key metrics for audience in television are ratings and share:
- Ratings are the percent of households watching a program at a given time among all households in the market.
- Share is the percent of households watching a particular program among only those households that have their televisions on.
PEJ examines three types of variables for local TV: ratings, share and viewership. Unlike in other sectors, PEJ only analyzes P2+ data for local TV. The P2+ variables describe total individual viewers 2 years of age or older, as opposed to household (HH or HHLD) data, which describes U.S. television households, which is a measure constructed by Nielsen that estimates the number of households that have one or more television sets, either tuned to a particular program.
Sweeps in 2009
Typically, Nielsen measures audience in all media markets in the United States in February, May, July and November.
In 2009, the transition to digital television was scheduled for February 17 (although ultimately it did not take place until June 12). Nielsen decided to carry out March measurements, which has never conducted before and there are no plans to consuct in the future. This means there is no way to compare that March measurement to any other year. Since there is no equivalent basis of comparison from February 2009 to February 2010, PEJ decided not to analyze those data across time. See 2010 report for more

NETMINDER Stevie Lyle has hinted he may turn down the opportunity to represent his country despite being named in the Great Britain squad for the upcoming World Championships.
The Welshman is one of four netminders selected by new GB boss Doug Christiansen for the tournament in Lithuania in April, with the initial 35-man squad being cut to only 23 before the start of the event.
Lyle, along with forward Aaron Nell, the netminder was one of two Wildcats players yesterday named in Doug Christiansen's first national squad yesterday.
Lyle first represented his country at the age of 15 and has gone on to earn over 60 caps before calling a halt to his GB career in recent years, but despite being offered the chance to pull on the red, white and blue once again the netminder is in two minds whether or not to accept the opportunity to come out of international retirement.
"They got in contact with me a couple of months ago because I retired really and they asked me if I would be interested," he said. "I told them to stick my name down on the list because I didn't mind being 'on call' if you like.
"They came back saying they wanted to take me and asked me if I was interested and things have been going back and forth like that to be honest. I'm still not sure but it's not that I don't want to go, more that there are other really good players there which they should really start bringing through.
"Hopefully they know what I'm capable of and maybe they are looking for a bit of experience but whether or not I go I don't know, I will just have to see how the next few weeks go to be honest before I decide.
"It's great, after retiring, to be asked come back into the picture."
Lyle, who moved to the Wildcats in the summer, is also pleased for his club after the Link Centre side produced the only two second tier players in Christiansen's squad after forward Aaron Nell was also called-up.
"It looks good for Swindon as a squad because we are coming from the EPL and it's great me and Aaron have been picked to be in there," he said. "I'm really pleased for the club.
"As a country we always do well for ourselves and work hard for what we get and it's been an honour to represent them."

Sales managers… What are you doing for your staff? I know you hold training session, set goals, monitor performance, and keep people accountable. We all do that, but what separates great sales managers form the average is the ability to help sales people build good habits, learn discipline and follow a system.
I know we want every sale to be form fit to the customer based on a relationship we have developed and leveraged over time to help us develop an ideal solution for each client. And I also know that most sales people will use this desire for appointment customization and relationship building to fight you on the development of any sort of system, but I am here to tell you this could not be further from the truth. systematization is central to effective selling. It keeps us on track, it prevents us from forgetting key steps in the process, and it ensures we are efficient with our time.
So ask yourself: Have I helped my staff to develop a solid selling system that works?
This does not have to be complicated, but it helps to have a strategy. Imagine a football team trying to play a game with no pre-set plays? Are they inflexible and unable to customize when playing from the playbook? No, but they do have a set of pre-set strategies they can implement. My goal for my staff is to provide them a strategy in the form of a framework to follow and then give them a series of plays to run based on what they find that way they feel free to do what they need to but they are never far from the known path.
For an appointment setting call for my staff the framework looks like this:
Start Date
I have them write this on a piece of paper and make sure they have covered every point before asking for an appointment… The "Plays" are how we move from point to point depending on how things are going…
So let me ask you this: Does every member of your team have a well thought out strategy or are you letting them shoot from the hip?

TRANMERE Rovers have announced new owners after Mark and Nicola Palios took a controlling interest in the club after reaching an agreement with current owner Peter Johnson.
Mark, who is a former chief executive of the Football Association, made more than 280 appearances for the club in two spells at Prenton Park.
He said: "We are both aware of what a privilege it is to have the opportunity to become involved with this club, but it is important that we pay tribute to the support that Peter Johnson has given over many years.
"All Tranmere fans are well aware of his massive contribution to the club, a support that is ongoing, and in order to mark his dedication and support we will be consulting with our fans on the best way to do that.
"There is a big job to be done to get the club back in the higher divisions and get the facilities back up to scratch. In the coming weeks and months we will share with you our plans on how we intend to make it happen.
"We have no illusions about the difficult environment in which lower league clubs operate but we have exciting ideas to ensure Tranmere thrives in the future as a successful and vibrant community club which is capable of sustaining itself without being reliant on a benefactor.
"My playing days for the club were fantastic, my manager was the legendary and inspiring figure John King and I hope that we can bring some of his spirit, determination and personality back into the club."
Mark will become executive chairman of the club with Nicola as vice-chairman, while Peter Johnson will remain a shareholder, director and become the club's honorary president.
Nicola said: "Peter Johnson has shown incredible generosity to Tranmere over many years, and particularly by writing off his past loans to give a solid financial base for the upcoming season.
"We aim to reward his loyalty by ensuring the club's legacy for the future.
"Mark always told me Tranmere Rovers was a warm, friendly, family club and that is exactly what I have found since we first started talks with Peter.
"I am sure the coming weeks, months and years will be challenging, exciting and ultimately successful."
Peter Johnson said: "I have been looking for a safe pair of hands to ensure the club's future.
"In Mark and Nicola I have found that. As a local lad who played for the club, and a former chief executive of The FA with a successful commercial track record, Mark is uniquely placed to help lead Tranmere to a bright future. Nicola is an accomplished lawyer and businesswoman.
"Between them, they have the passion and the experience to take the club forward and I am looking forward to working on the board with them.
"Finding this mix of football and business skills is highly unusual."
Mr Johnson took control of the club in 1987 after Tranmere Rovers had been placed into administration.
He appointed Johnny King as manager and saw Tranmere Rovers twice win promotion to secure a place in the Championship.
During this period the club narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League on three successive seasons, losing out in the play-offs on each occasion.
Wembley became a second home to Tranmere Rovers during Mr Johnson's time in charge. They played at the national venue when qualifying for the Football League Centenary Competition in 1988 and four more visits to the famous stadium followed.
In 1990 they won the Leyland DAF Trophy and lost in the play-offs, whilst in the following year they reversed those results and won the play-off final, but lost in the Leyland DAF Trophy final.
They also reached the League Cup final in 2000, where they were beaten 2-1 by Leicester City.
The new owners arrive at Prenton Park with current knowledge of the world of sports administration.
Mark is currently a non-executive director for the British Judo Association and a member of the audit risk and governance committee at Surrey County Cricket Club.
Nicola has 24 years of experience of commercial law and international financial services.
She was previously chief executive of the Mourant Group, one of the world's largest off-shore law firms and fiduciary services businesses, and is currently a non-executive director of British Rowing and a cutting edge technology company.
Tranmere's chief executive Jeremy Butler believes having Mark and Nicola's experience in sport, commerce and law at the top of the organisation is crucial if Rovers are to thrive.
He said: "Mark and Nicola have the knowledge and contacts required to help Tranmere Rovers take the next step towards becoming a self-sustaining football club.
"Their business experience will strengthen the board, and their ideas for the club are sensible and exciting. I am looking forward to working with them."
During a press conference at Prenton Park this morning Rovers' manager Rob Edwards said Palios' arrival heralded a fresh start for the club.
He added: "I think it's good for the club and I think the club needs to move on. It's time for a fresh start.
"As long as we are on the same hymn sheet everything should be okay. He has plans for the club, but we will have to wait and see what they are.
"I met him on Saturday and was very impressed. He's been around football for a long time and has the club at heart."

Images are vital to a strong social presence for any brand, making understanding basic graphic design essential for all social media managers. But, how do you get started? How do you source and select images for use on your social channels? How do you make sure the photos are perfectly tailored to fit each network's specific audience?
Finding Photos for Social Media
In a perfect world, you'd use original photos from your brand's internal design team. Not only will you have the rights to use the photos, but you can be assured these images are high-quality, unique, and on-message. However, with the fast-paced nature of social media, you can't always get your hands on an image internally. What's a social media manager to do?
Definitely avoid the temptation to grab any image you can find on the web—or you could be in hot water. Whoever took that photo and will most definitely take issue with a brand using said image without permission. Not to mention it's poor etiquette.
The savvy social media manager knows better, and uses these resources to source images for use on social networks:
- Stock Photos: The most straightforward way to get images is to pay for them. iStockphoto is widely reliable, but you can find an excellent breakdown of different stock photo offerings online. The key here is making sure you choose photos that don't look like stock photos—meaning highly-posed, cliché, or just bad.
- Creative Commons: Many photographers will let you use images if you attribute them as the source. Creative Commons is an excellent way to find photos you can use, even commercially, as long as you credit the photographer. Keep in mind, attributions can be lengthy, especially if a copyright notice is included. This makes it less than ideal for use on some social channels (namely Twitter, due to character count limits).
- Google Image Advanced Search: Searching for photos on the Internet? Use Google! (Ever heard of it?) Kidding aside, Google's advanced image search is a great way to find photos that you are "free to use, share, or modify, even commercially."
Make sure you click through to see if the images that turn up require attribution. Occasionally, your search will turn up images that are public domain, which means you are free to use them without attribution!
Posting Photos to Social Media
Now that you've got your hands on a photo, you can just upload it and post it, right? Well…not quite.
Each social network has distinct optimal image size specifications, and of course, what is perfect for Facebook's feed isn't the right size for Twitter, Pinterest, or Google+. If your photo doesn't fit those specifications, it might be cropped or automatically scaled to fit.
Take the screenshot above, two photos in the Facebook Newsfeed. The photo on the left is too large for Facebook's feed. The text is cut off and fans would have to click on the photo to view the whole image, which is not an ideal experience. The image on the right is perfectly sized for Facebook, and the whole photo is visible. This makes for a clean newsfeed and provides a more pleasing experience for fans.
Social Media Image Sizes
It's a basic technique that makes such a big difference. Crop and resize images yourself with any photo-editing tool, or this free online resizing tool.
We've provided a handy cheat-sheet detailing the optimal image sizes for each social network's feed so you can custom-create images for each network:
403×403 pixels
843×403 pixels (Highlighted Image)
375×375 pixels
600 x 800* pixels
*The height of images on Pinterest is flexible, but if an image is too tall it can become almost impossible to see. This height/width ratio seems to be the most flattering when scaled down to thumbnail size, too!
497 x 373 pixels
Do you think your social media feeds could benefit from perfectly sized photos?

1. Re: worst phone ive ever had--a must read!!!!Wildman Apr 6, 2012 8:12 PM (in response to andrealkern)1 of 1 people found this helpful
I am not the one to normally say this but the first thing I noted from your post is that you are using a Task Killer, you may want to remove that because a number of your issues sounds like a common issue if the TK is set to auto close system apps..
Have you tried doing a hard reset and run the device clean without any apps installed, only restore contacts and email accounts? If you havent I would try that before you right the device off because when that many issue shows usually its software related.... User have habit of installing old apps after a rest or device replacement which directs that user to the wrong nature of their problems.
2. Re: worst phone ive ever had--a must read!!!!andrealkern Apr 6, 2012 8:20 PM (in response to Wildman)
I've tried having no task killer and having one. I just dl this one in the last wk since I got the new updated software because I was having problems with the battery life and before I complained about the software update I wanted to make sure I didn't just have things going and didn't realize it.
And yes to the hard reset. Several times. And the factory reset and all of it. It always works till the next round of updates. Also I stopped dling apps after the second reset. I rarely even use the camera or anything on it. I almost strictly use it for calls and txts at this point. I'd go back to my old phone if it weren't also an LG and didn't have several of these same problems.
My first 2 LG's were excellent. Never a problem one. Literally never once had to call c.s. or go to the store for either phone. Then the LG NV touch and now the revolution...... I'm on first name basis with all 8 or 9 of the cs reps here in my town and several of them don't even have to ask me for the phone #.
3. Re: worst phone ive ever had--a must read!!!!Wildman Apr 6, 2012 8:37 PM (in response to andrealkern)1 of 1 people found this helpful
I havent dealt with LG enough to know if the device is a problem child or not but it sounds like it may be another Samsung family memory, I had nothing but issues with all Samsung devices I owned and it looks like LG may be your demon device..
Since you seemed to cover all angles it may be time to look at a diffrent device for next upgrade time..
4. Re: worst phone ive ever had--a must read!!!!Grothka Apr 6, 2012 8:52 PM (in response to andrealkern)
Have you gotten a single replacement of this phone? From what you wrote I didn't see that you've gotten a single warranty replacement. Because of that it's unlikely that you would be able to get a different model of phone, but if you're actually willing to talk to tech support they might be able to make an exception. As far as not getting a refurbished phone... too bad, do you really think they are going to replace a 1 year old phone with a brand new phone for free? They might allow you to upgrade early, but that will involve at least a contract extension, and most likely it will cost you the 2 year price of whatever phone they allow you to buy.
Here is the moral of the story, if you are having issues with the phone, get them troubleshot and accept the replacements. If the replacements also have problems then use that fact to see if they can go outside of policy and get either an early upgrade or a different model phone. Just remember, if they do go through your warranty for the replacement you will get a used phone in return for your used phone.
5. Re: worst phone ive ever had--a must read!!!!B33 Apr 6, 2012 8:57 PM (in response to Wildman)

Good Afternoon andrealkern,
I know it can be frustrating when you are not gaining the reliability you should from your handset!
Please ensure your software is up to date. The latest version is: VS910ZV8. http://bit.ly/xLqigJ
As an additional option, please run your device in safe mode for a while to determine if third party apps may be causing the issues. http://bit.ly/HCbWjj
If you have already tried hard resets, a warranty replacement would be the next option if the device is less than a year old. Certified Like New replacement phones are fully inspected an reconditioned by the manufacturer. They often perform even better than new devices.

Yo ha ha ha love this one, I have had three replacement LG Revolution phones my last one was only a day old before I had all the same old problems again, even after the update to fix all these issues was released. I finally had enough and called tech support and told them I'm done with the phone and that they really needed to do something about it. They finally gave me a Thunderbolt and I will never own another LG so long as I live from now on its HTC or Motorolla

GDB 26: Danger in the Shark tank
December 06 2008 05:21PM
Step 1: Score three goals. Step 2: Gas three goal lead surrendering four straight. Step 3: Score stirring goal with 12 mins remaining to tie the game. Step 4: Have Schremp go in the shootout - get 56 alarm robbed by LaBarbera Step 5: Send in Hemsky to destroy everything.
Repeat as necessary
So what exactly is the plan for tonight? The Oil head into San Jose - who has collected an amazing 16 wins in only 12 games at home this year. The nice thing about tonight? The Oil really have no business winning in SJ so there is no pressure on them. The really nice thing about tonight? The Oil historically have this habit of winning games they have no business winning. Take gassing that 3 goal lead last night then still pulling it out.
And before we start planning the party for Schremp we will continue to reserve judgment. He looked all kinds of awesome again last night -- going so far as to ditch his lid on the one goal in tribute to Coach MacTavish. We can literally hear the "I told you sos" being screamed at the TVs all over the Nation every time Schremp collects a point. We are waiting a few more before we make our decision on how real his realness is.
It touches our heart
The Justice League meeting was a little sparse last night -- and that's perfectly fine. Cause you know that everyone who wasn't in attendance at the JL meeting was out on the town and watching the game somewhere and there in spirit. You just know that the JL is out there on the town all over Canada running beers through them. It's the holidays for heavens sake. We need to be able to bring the JL on the move with us somehow -- and we have a team of scientists thinking about how that would work. In the meantime let the good times roll.
Oh yeah
And there's this.

Times like this when I wish my mom wasn't looking over my shoulder. That was a f*** of a game huh? A guy over at LT's GDT said something like OJ got 9 years for stealing less than we did tonight.
Big game. HUGE game. Things like this can define a team's year. Playing most of the game when the battery low light is flashing and still having enough guts to come out and win the thing. Watching these guys in the next while should be pretty exciting.
BTW - how's it going with that "fire MacT" bandwagon thing?

We still have her gassed up and ready to roll. If we can string together 30 wins in a row, then maybe I'll be converted. But until then I think it's time for a changing of the guard.
December 06 2008, 11:13PM
Things seem pretty good overall. I want to tweak some fonts and stuff and buff up some of the graphics.
I don't know who played better: Alex Hemsky (did they REALLY put that in the graphic?!), or Dwayne Roloffson.
Although, neither odd-pronunciation beats Bob Cole's "HORCROFT!" in '06...

you guys need to have blue in those t-shirts.....
December 07 2008, 11:21AM
@ Fiveandagame: The commentators on the Dallas side of the game earlier this week referred to him as "Studly Wonderbomb". I think that should encompass all of the choices.
And I see the site now has graphics by the team names for "last game" and "next game", and has the accurate record. I like!
I wouldn't mind seeing some form of NW division standings, though, maybe like the baseball standings over at BofA, or the guys at sportsclubstats. Just a small suggestion though... This new layout is looking really pro, though!

I am eagerly awaiting the opening of your online store.
Good game for the copper'n'blue last night. Not the prettiest game, but a win is a win.
Lotsa big decisions in the next little while. Who comes out when Nilsson is healthy? Schremp is carrying his weight. Garon is as good as gone. Ride Roli & JDD this season, find another older goalie to back up JDD next year (or resign Roli).

Employee at Walmart accused of stealing cash
A Walmart employee was arrested Monday on suspicion of stealing money from the cash register, according to a Gainesville Police Department arrest report.
Ashley Renee Burke, 24, of 3230 Archer Road, Apt. G234, was charged with scheming to defraud and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, the report states.
Burke worked at the Walmart Supercenter at 5700 NW 23rd St. as a cashier. The store's loss prevention officers started an investigation because money was missing from cash registers.
The report states that surveillance video shows Burke taking money from registers on several dates in April and May. She is accused of taking a total of $1,308. Police found a small amount of marijuana in Burke's purse when she was arrested.
Burke wrote a statement to Walmart acknowledging "dishonest cashiering," the report states.

Hillsborough County deputy kills suspect reaching for gun
TAMPA — A Hillsborough County deputy fatally shot a man who authorities say tried to take another deputy's gun.
Sheriff David Gee said deputies had been watching out for the suspect, who wasn't immediately identified, all week when a detective tracked him to Brandon. The detective called for backup and approached the man, who at some point lunged at the detective.
Another deputy arrived as the detective and suspect were wrestling. Authorities say the suspect was grabbing the detective's holstered gun when the second deputy shot the suspect once in the upper body.
The suspect was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he later died. No other injuries were reported.
Gee says deputies had been seeking the suspect, who had a long criminal history, on auto theft and other violent charges.

Former state lawmaker wins $50,000-a-year-for-life prize
TALLAHASSEE — Former state Rep. Frank Farkas was a loser last November, but he's a big winner now.
Farkas may have been unsuccessful when he sought to return to the Legislature last year, but he just won a $50,000-a-year-for-life prize on a $20 Florida Lottery scratch ticket.
The St. Petersburg Republican served in the House from 1998 to 2006. He lost to Democrat Dwight Dudley on his bid to return. The Florida Lottery said the 56-year-old Farkas chose a lump sum payment of $815,515.72.

WINTER HAVEN — Legoland Florida's newest ride and play area will open to the public on July 3.
Park officials said in a news release Tuesday that the expansion is based on the popular Legends of Chima product line.
Construction is underway on the Chima-themed area within the park — it includes an interactive water ride called The Quest for Chi, a Lego-building challenge, a 4-D movie and a meet-and-greet with costumed characters.
According to Lego's website, the Chima storyline is about a pristine, natural paradise that has become a battle ground for eight animal tribes.

Man gets life sentence for leading others in murder
TAMPA — A Tampa Bay area man has been sentenced to life in prison for leading several others in a murder.
Kasey Lee Ackerman, 23, pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder and armed kidnapping as part of a deal with Hillsborough County prosecutors to avoid the death penalty. Five suspects in all were charged in the death of 26-year-old Robert Mason Brewer, and Ackerman was the last to be convicted and sentenced.
Ackerman was hosting a party at his Brandon apartment in May 2010 and told friends he wanted to kill Brewer, authorities said. The friends had met Brewer at the mall earlier that day. Ackerman and Brendan Terry, 23, stabbed Brewer multiple times, and Randy Allen Morris, 37, went to buy gasoline.
The three men carried Brewer to a nearby trash bin and set him on fire while he was still alive. Ackerman's then-girlfriend, Rosanna DiMauro, 41, and her son, David Link, 21, both helped the attackers after Brewer was dead.

Former Florida RNC Hispanic outreach director now a Dem
TALLAHASSEE — A former Republican National Committee Florida Hispanic outreach director is now a Democrat.
Pablo Pantoja said on Tuesday that he switched parties because of a "culture of intolerance" among Republicans. He said his decision wasn't directed at the RNC.
Pantoja said the tone of the debate on immigration issues, along with other instances in which Republicans have made derogatory remarks about minorities, built to the point where he felt more comfortable as a Democrat.

Ping Pong
de Douglas Ljungkvist
Acerca del libro
I grew up playing table tennis in Sweden in the 70's where most athletes were still semi professional and had part time jobs. At the time Sweden was the only country that could seriously challenge the Chinese dominance. Since the early 90's Sweden has regressed into mediocrity as potential young players have been lured to more financially lucrative sports like tennis, golf, or ice hockey.
The sport of table tennis demands incredible physical stamina, hand/eye coordination, and quick decision making. Ping pong, the leisure activity on the other hand, only requires a decent backhand, willingness to have a good time, and not minding being a dork. Table Tennis in the US has been more related to the leisure activity of Ping Pong and played in dorm rooms and garages all over the country.
However, Ping Pong's position in the US has been elevated to the "in-thing" to do in New York while networking or meeting with friends over drinks. Part of that can be credited to trailblazers like Amsterdam Billiards and Bowlmore Lanes. They made pool and bowling hip and fun leisure activities in the 90's thanks to upscale venues, combining drinks and play, and attracting beautiful people. The SPiN New York club carries on that tradition. Celebrities help, too, both Susan Sarandon and Edward Norton are players.
As a photographer I am as interested in the objects of ping pong; venues, playing surfaces, equipment, colors, space, design, and graphics, as much as the play itself. I plan to photograph people playing ping pong in board rooms, prisons, and anywhere else where people are just looking for a good time. The project will eventually wrap up in China where table tennis is the national sport, is played everywhere, and the leading players are rock stars.

I'm a Brooklyn based photographer originally from Sweden. Most of my personal projects explore vernacular beauty with subtexts of time, identity, and memory. My work process is intuitive and my photographic voice could be described as urban, colorful, graphic, and quiet. Formally, I am interested in the study of color, form, and space. In addition to Fine Art photography my focus is on Travel and Architectural photography.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Schlieffen Plan
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Schlieffen Plan
Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 17:44, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
|The only defect your article has is that the jokes are sometimes a bit too explicit. You often use the cliché opinions about the French, for example, but even clichés can be funny, if they are not simply stated.
For example, in the introduction you can remove the second reference to the plan of the World Domination or hide the idea, making the joke implicit. It may be hard but I rely on you knowing that you are a great comedian.
The same thing with the first section: you talk about how the French did not learn from their history and, therefore, did not expect Germans to come from the Belgian border. But it is possible to make it even funnier. Let's say, for instance, that the French did not expect the German soldiers could walk several exta kilometers, as they thought that all their enemies were as lazy as themselves. In the same part, you also seem to be telling the story, but you should remember that it is not the history section.
But it is not always so. There is a very good joke about Germany invading Russian and not France! And the one about Argentina!
|I liked the concept but thought that several ideas were incomplete and your jokes unfinished. You say that the Plan consisited in surprising the French, however it is not so in your last section (which I really like). You need ore connections between the sections. You can say that the Germans were tired of attacking France and decided to change their plan.
Several other comments:
|Prose and formatting:
|The formatting is not bad, although your long sentences hamper you from noticing mistakes inside them. As I always do, here is my proofreading:
|The choice of images is good as always! The main problem is with their location. The first image is good, but you explain the part about Greece only in your last section. In the first three uses, you don't mention this country which means that the image does not illustrate the article. To change this, it can be moved towards the end, therefore illustrating it. If you do so, than you another pictire will have to be inserted at the beginnning of the article.
The third image is funny but the red words close part of the picture. If it is you who photoshopped it, than you can move the red words more to the middle of the illustration,
|The average score.
|Final Score:
|It is a good article on military history! The main problem is the structure and the organization. But it is still funny!

Michael Dunston has been developing and teaching the Music recording and production curriculum at Virginia Tech for over twenty years. His courses range from basic introductory concepts and studio technique to media production in a variety of fields, and include specialized areas of study to meet the diverse needs of both undergraduate and graduate students in academic study, the creative and practical application of technology, and research.

I very much enjoy working closely with students, often in small groups or individually, throughout a significant portion of their academic career. While many faculty and students usually only know one another for one or two semesters, I often have students in my curriculum for as many as six or seven semesters throughout their academic career. Not only does this allow for a greater opportunity to develop relationships, it also allows for customization of curricular and instructional methods to best meet the needs and goals of each individual student, as well as develop a greater sense of responsibility and stewardship within our program.
One of the things that gives me great satisfaction in teaching is working directly with students, both inside and outside of the classroom, on a wide variety of diverse projects such as the recording and production of audio and video for live performances, studio session recordings, digital photography, videography, audio mastering, digital media archiving, community outreach, and industry research and development.
While working with students in this manner is more time consuming than traditional classroom methods, the benefits of experiential learning through directed instruction and immersion in these opportunities are clear. This guided approach to the practical application of classroom knowledge in complex situations helps develop the versatility and adaptability necessary for success in today's professional and highly competitive environments.
Students: The list of performances available for recordings and archival mastering coursework is available on the Studio Coursework page, and other resources are available in the Internal Resources Area of our secure website.

Mujibar was trying to get into Canada legally through Immigration.
The Immigration Officer said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you cannot enter Canada."
Mujibar said, "I am ready."
The officer said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green."
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister Officer, I am ready."
The Officer said, "Go ahead."
Mujibar said, "The telephone goes, 'green, green, green, green' and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"
Mujibar now works at Telus, perhaps you have spoken to him.

A horse walked into a bar. The bartender said"Why the long face?"
A skeleton walked into a bar and ordered a beer and a mop.
Three guys ran into a bar, the fourth guy ducked.
A penguin walked into a bar and asked the bartender if he had seen his dad. The bartender said "What does he look like?" The penguin said "Just like me."
A penguin walks into a bar and orders some grapes. The bartender says"We don't have any grapes." So the penguin leaves. The next day the penguin walks into the same bar and orders grapes. The bartender says"We don't have any grapes." So the penguin leaves. The next day the penguin walks into the same bar and orders grapes. Angrily the bartender tells him "I've told you the last two days we don't have any grapes. If you come in here again and order grapes I'm going to nail your beak to the bar" The penguin leaves. The next day the penguin walks back into the bar and says"Do you have any nails?" the bartender says "No." So the penguin says "Do you have any grapes?"

The Thief and the Parrot
Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He stealthily crept through the lounge and was stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a loud voice clearly saying, "Jesus is watching you!"
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
"Jesus is watching you," the voice rang out again.
The thief stopped dead again. He was frightened out of his wits.
Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a birdcage and in the cage was a parrot
He asked the parrot, "Was that you wo said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a heavy sigh of relief and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a stupid name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot
named you Clarence?"
The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the rottweiller Jesus."

A group of 40 years old buddies meet and
discuss where they willl
have dinner. Finally, after lengthy
discussion, they decide to go to the
Hofbrau restaurant because the waitresses are
the cutest in town
10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group again meets
and again there is
much discussion about a place for dinner. Finally,
they agree to go to the Hofbrau because the food is very good and the
wine selection is good also.
10 years later at 60 years of age, the group meets again
and once again there is much discussion about dinner. And
finally it is agreed to meet at
the Hofbrau because they can eat there in peace and
quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.
10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group meets again -
same discussion. Finally, they decide go to the
Hofbrau because the restaurant is
wheel-chair accessible and they even have an elevator.
10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group meets
again. Finally, they agree to eat at the Hofbrau because none
of them has ever been there before.

The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
Did you pass, or do you want the bed next to mine?

The Blond and the Hare
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump
out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid
hitting it,but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.
The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover,
pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.
Much to his dismay,the rabbit is dead.The driver feels so awful
that he begins to cry. A beautiful blond woman driving down
the highway sees a man on the side of the road and pulls over.
She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible,"! he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."
The blond says,"Don't worry."She runs to her car and pulls out
a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down,
and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.The rabbit jumps up,
waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.
Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again,
he hops down the road another 10 feet,turns and waves,
hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this
again and again and again,until he hops out of sight.
The man is astonished.He runs over to the woman and demands,
"What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"
The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.
It says..
(Are you ready for this?)
(Are you sure?)
(This is bad!)
(It's definitely a Blonde Joke!)
(You know you could just click off and not read the punch line....)
(You can still not read it)
(You know you're gonna be sorry)
(Last chance)
(OK, here it is)
It says,
"Hair Spray -Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave."

God and St. Francis Discussing Lawns
GOD: St. Francis, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going on down there ? What happened to the dandelions, violets, thistle and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect, no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honeybees and flocks of songbirds.
I expected to see a vast garden of colors by now. But all I see are these green rectangles.
ST. FRANCIS: It's the tribes that settled there. The Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers weeds and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass.
GOD: Grass? But it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract butterflies, birds and bees, only grubs and sod worms. It's temperamental with temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?
ST. FRANCIS: Apparently so. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.
GOD: The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy.
ST. FRANCIS: Apparently not. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it, sometimes twice a week.
GOD: They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?
ST. FRANCIS: Not exactly . Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.
GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?
ST. FRANCIS: No, sir -- just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.
GOD: Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass so it will grow. And when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?
ST. FRANCIS: Yes, sir.
GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.
ST. FRANCIS: You aren't going to believe this . When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.
GOD: What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stoke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. Plus, as they rot, the leaves form compost to enhance the soil. It's a natural circle of life.
ST. FRANCIS: You'd better sit down, Sir. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away.
GOD: No. What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter and to keep the soil moist and loose?
ST. FRANCIS: After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.
GOD: And where do they get this mulch?
ST. FRANCIS: They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.
GOD: Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore. St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you scheduled for us tonight?
ST. CATHERINE: Dumb and Dumber . It's a movie about ...
GOD: Never mind, I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis

Bengal Cat, that was great!
Where I live drought is a real concern. We ripped out the lawn, and replaced it with plants that like our Mediterranean weather, and gravelled paths. When we rake leaves, they either go into the compost pile in the back garden, or they get distributed under our trees and shrubs for mulch. I trim perennials in 6 inch lengths that either get dropped right onto the ground to add to the mulch layer (depending on how conspicuous they are), or get carted out back to be composted.
Our neighbors probably hate us, but after years of not paying to have free mulch/compost carted off, our problematic heavy soil has become soft and friable.
I should print this joke out to hand to the landscape maintenance folks who knock on our door every season.
Thanks for the laugh!

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo University Director of Athletics, and the Saint Leo Department of Athletics have announced the addition of Outdoor track as a sanctioned NCAA Sport at Saint Leo University, it was announced earlier this week. The addition of track to both the men's and women's divisions brings the total number of sponsored varsity sports to 19 at University Campus.
Saint Leo University's current Head Men's and Women's Cross Country Coach Melissa Mangen will lead the Lions in their first season of action in 2014. The squad will consist of both a men's and a women's team, and will participate in mainly distance running events in their first season.
Saint Leo University competes at the NCAA Division II level, and is a member of the prestigious Sunshine State Conference. With 10 women's sports (Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track, and Volleyball), and nine men's sports (Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Lacrosse, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis, and Track) offered to students, Saint Leo University has become an extremely competitive program in not only the Sunshine State Conference, but regionally and nationally, as well.
For the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo men's track team, be sure to visit SaintLeoLions.com. Fans can also stay up-to-date on the latest Lions news by following Saint Leo Athletics on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube.

It's getting pretty dangerous on the public transit system these days. Bus drivers are having some "postal" issues and going berzerko on their riders.
Of course the Cleveland bus driver, Artis Hughes, is known all over the world by now for the infamous upper cut he gave one of his riders and, as we reported in the EUR last week, lost his job. But obviously, the bus drivers have just simply had enough and Hughes' termination didn't affect the rest of the country's drivers as yet another driver goes after a rider that was allegedly acting up on her bus.
The bus driver said that she asked the teenage girl to turn down her music and she didn't. They got into a squabble that led to the bus driver stopping the bus and walking to where the girl was to address the problem. But one thing led to another and they were locked in a brawl for it all in seconds.
Unlike the Cleveland bus driver, the Baltimore bus driver never hit the girl, but appeared to be trying to restrain her and get her under control…but ineffectively, as they fell on passengers and swung each other around for more than a minute.
But like the Cleveland bus driver, she has been suspended pending a review and investigation into Monday's altercation on her bus. In response to another passenger that said she was "dead wrong" and demanded she get off the girl and something else unintelligible, the bus driver responded:
"It wasn't about that. It was about being disrespectful."
Check it out for yourself. What do you think? Read more in the Baltimore Sun here.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/10/2012 (1755 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Say one thing about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers -- despite a horrible 5-12 mark and ownership of last place in the CFL, there is no shortage of passion when it comes to your local pros.
Everyone, it seems, has an opinion and they range from the heated to the clinical. Solving the Bombers' woes is a topic getting lots of attention these days.
We put out the following call to arms on Tuesday.
"Blue Bombers president and CEO Garth Buchko just walked into your place of work and tapped you on the shoulder. You're the team's new general manager.
What's your first move?
You've got a CFL budget but you're smarter than the rest of the league's brain trust. You can make the decisions and calls that put the Bombers back on top. Tell us what you would do first. We'll take your tweets at #gmforaday and your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com."
We pulled a bunch of the responses together and here's what you had to say when given the chance to be GM for a day.
11 Ned Smith
11Then we have to go after a QB. (Reilly) in B.C. is one of the best bets but Edmonton will also be looking, as they need help in that position. That gives us some wiggle room as we can then put Joey or Alex out there so when Ottawa makes its picks it maybe grabs one of these guys.
The O line needs people that get the job done to protect the QB, and open lanes for a ground attack with the running backs we have. That should open up the passing game if the QB stays upright. Bottom line is you need hogs with attitude, and a QB that works with them.
The D line is missing the most-important ingredient and that is attitude, plus we need at least 2-3 quality veterans to help guide the young players. The same way we've seen this D play under Burke, when he controlled the players.
Special teams is another important area. We need someone that can catch the ball and run with it: We are missing that right now.
Ken Stelmack
111. Clarify with the president the job description, roles and responsibilities and other expectations of the position. The basic premise is that the GM must manage all aspects of football operations. To do that, the GM should live in Winnipeg, and must have at his disposal a reasonable operating budget. Responsibilities include supervising and providing guidance/direction to the head coach. This implies an intimate understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a head coach. In order to do this, one must be on-site regularly. Get rid of the "hire and fire" mentality, as all this does is keep pushing the reset button and starting over.
2. Hire a head coach whose skill sets and philosophy are compatible with those of the GM. Make sure he's a leader, not just a skilled technician. Then supervise, but don't meddle or second-guess every decision of the head coach.
3. Insist on having a comprehensive scouting team, i.e. one that covers all potential sources of developing player talent.
4. Host initial meetings with the head coach to establish priorities in player retention and recruitment. Then, together with the head coach, meet with the scouting team to establish priorities, considering but not limited to leadership, athleticism, current position skills assessment, character, and import vs. non-import status.
5. Meet with head coach after every game, to assess wants, needs and any corrections required, based on game observations.
6. Don't try to supervise the whole coaching staff: that's the head coach's job, and could potentially undermine his position.
J. Hugh McMorrow
11What I want to see is that magical QB-receiver combo where we don't know how they do it, but the ball always finds the right guy... I'm no football talent scout, but it seems to me what we need is to find a couple of guys who already play well together. Why not two from the same college team who already know each other's strengths?
Jared Zanewich
1. HIRE A COACH -- I personally think Burke is a good fit but has just been thrown into a sinking ship. He's constructed a partial lifeboat the best he can but needs help from the organization.
2. QUARTERBACK QUANDARY -- Buck Pierce is not the right fit. I don't even feel like he should be a backup. He can't take the hits and be healthy. I love the guy, great for the community and tough but time to throw on a suit or polo and grab a clipboard.
3. WHAT ABOUT BUCK? -- See above
4. YO, CANADA -- I think we have some really good Canadians but need to expand from them JUST being offensive players like running backs and recievers. Need a few O and D line Canadians.
5. WHERE'S THE BEEF? -- We need some big in-your-face linemen. I don't mind taking a OC penalty here and there to establish some aggressiveness even. I want someone that's mean... throws stuff that hurts people. Has a 500-lb bench press.
6. CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN -- It's so true that the leadership needs to come from the VETS and not the coaches... I bleed Blue and Gold....I have some serious heart. We need that in the dressing room!!!
7. FREE AGENCY FRENZY -- GET IN THERE. Have to make some changes and show people we are serious. Don't let your core good players go (while you're) at it either!
8. POP PERCEPTION -- I don't care too much about this compared to the other nine things!
9. GET BUSY -- NEED A QB. Bring some in from the States... have a mini camp as soon as RIGHT AFTER the Grey Cup... start early and be serious. The QB is, without a doubt the most important part of a CFL team -- Just ask the Alouettes... think they would have the team they do without Calvillo? NOPE.
10. BE BOMBERS -- We have a new stadium, a great fan base, new uniforms -- LET'S GET STARTED ON setting the attitude of the team. This doesn't happen at the first pre-season game. It happens NOW before this season ends. Set the base and build it into next year.
Rd3 @rondangles
@garylawless forget the pallbearers a.k.a. blue-bombers, KHL is expanding to Milan, Italy. #kanadaexpansion #comebackjets#settle4highlights
Robert Dalton @wrobertdalton
@garylawless team is a stable QB away from improving. Either get an elite starter or give Elliott full control #gmforaday
FB @Flyer_Bully
@garylawless Just come in and do everything the opposite of Mack. e.g. don't trade UP to get an O lineman with jello shoulders. #gmforaday
Douglas D. Johnstone @STONE_worx
@garylawless how ironic ... Joe Mack was a Bomber GM for ONE day too .. The day he was hired!
Chris Mackling @cmackLIVE @garylawless @winnipegnews @sharethis If I were THE GM of the #Bombers for a day, I would resign. #getit?
MBGreen@MBGreen_YDKFThe #bluebombers need to fire their GM, because they shouldn't put that product on the field in a new stadium next year. #gmforaday

Research Summary:
Mammalian cells are known to exhibit a sophisticated and coordinated response to DNA damage. We have determined that a dynamic macromolecular assembly of proteins occurs as part of that response and this includes transcription, RNA processing and DNA repair factors. Our lab is interested in identifying and analyzing those protein complexes, to understand the molecular basis of the transcription-coupled RNA processing process and how these interactions regulate gene expression after DNA damage. These studies involve a large number of experimental approaches, including a variety of in vitro assays, cell imaging, biochemical fractionation and protein purification, cDNA and genomic DNA cloning, production of recombinant proteins and antibodies, and genetic analyses of cultured cells. Our studies are based on a model whereby the tumor suppressor BRCA1 helps to coordinate a ubiquitous cellular response to DNA damage, a response that includes general factors such as RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) and polyadenylation factors. RNAP II is responsible for synthesis of mRNA precursors and also functions directly in DNA repair processes and polyadenylation. Polyadenylation, the addition of the poly(A) tail to an mRNA, is the last step in the synthesis of mRNA and plays important regulatory roles in different cell types and at different stages of the cell cycle. We propose that BRCA1/BARD1-containg complex is recruited to sites of DNA damage, where it functions to initiate degradation of stalled RNAP II, thereby inhibiting the coupled transcription-RNA processing machinery and facilitating repair. Although BRCA1 has been identified as a gene that confers susceptibility to early onset familial breast and ovarian cancers, the determination of a mechanism by which functional loss of BRCA1 promotes tumor formation still constitutes a major challenge. Understanding the role of BRCA1/BARD1 in transcription, RNA processing and DNA repair may contribute not only to improving the therapies and diagnosis of breast cancer, but also, as a long term goal, to developing strategies for the prevention of the disease. We are currently studying how this occurs, and how these interactions contribute to DNA repair and gene control. Current projects in the lab include: 1) Determination of the mechanism(s) of polyadenylation and transcription inhibition by BRCA1/BARD1 after DNA damage. This includes utilization of in vitro assays as well as different in vivo assays for studying different macromolecular assembly formation 2) Analysis of the effect of RNA processing factors on TCR. These studies are being performed in cells deficient in polyadenylation factors. 3) Examination of the intranuclear organization of polyadenylation factors, BARD1, BRCA1 and RNAP II in UV-treated cells. 4) Study of the direct association of BARD1/BRCA1, RNAP II and polyadenylation factors with DNA repair sites.

Converting Big Data Hype into Big Value With Analytics
Posted Date:
There is a tremendous amount of interest in the topic of big data, but when evaluating use cases for big data too much focus is on the types and volumes of data involved and on the underlying data management technologies. It is equally, if not more, important to consider the analytics derived from big data that can be used to improve business decision making and enhance business innovation. It is these analytics that provide the business value for big data.
