Insignia TV Brand Review
If you've shopped at Best Buy, you've definitely come across the Insignia TV brand. Insignia is a Best Buy Exclusive Brand which means if you go to BestBuy.com or to a Best Buy store, they'll likely be pushing Insignia HDTV's. It is fairly common for these store brand type of TV's to actually be manufactured by another company, however it isn't quite clear who may be manufacturing Insignia HDTV's at this point.
The first thing you'll probably notice is the low prices. Insignia is consistently one of the cheapest LCD, LED, or Plasma TV's you can buy in their respective size ranges. However, cheap prices shouldn't be the only factor you consider in your HDTV purchase. Insignia also sells other home audio and video products like home theater systems, Blu-ray players and other products.
Insignia Product Quality
Insignia positions itself as a value-brand HDTV. In non-marketing language, it means that it is low-priced and directed at consumers that don't have a ton of cash to spend. The design and picture quality of an Insignia TV won't impress your friends and family but not everyone is looking to buy the best of breed HDTV anyway.
Insignia TV's appear to have a somewhat higher failure rate, specifically with the remote controls. Several users have noticed the Insignia remote controls lag when trying to change channels or perform other functions on the HDTV. If you end up using a remote from your cable/satellite provider or use a universal remote, this may not be an issue.
Many reports show that the picture quality tends to fade and get worse over time. You may start to see lines or other picture defects over time. These are all things to consider and weight against your budget and how you expect to use the Insignia TV.
Insignia Pricing & Value
As mentioned above, Insignia's are one of the most competitively priced HDTV's out there. But nobody wants to knowingly buy a dud if they think it is going to break in a year. If you're shopping for a secondary TV, a kids room TV or if you're just not a heavy TV-watcher and don't need all the latest and greatest features, Insignia may be worth considering based on the price.
However, if you are an average TV viewer and this will be used as your primary television, the value isn't as great and you may want to consider stepping up to a more reputable and reliable brand.
Insignia Customer Service
Our reviewers have never personally had to deal with Insignia's customer service team. Being a Best Buy store brand, you may be able to get some assistance through Best Buy employees or the "Geek Squad" that is available from Best Buy for a fee. If you are worried about getting support after your puchase, we recommend calling in to their support line and seeing what kind of response you get. Make sure to note the wait times, the competency of the service rep you talk to and any other items that are important to you.
Insignia Overall Quality
Overall, it's not secret that Insignia isn't the #1 brand in the world when it comes to HDTV's. However, there are wide ranges of people looking for HDTV's. If you're looking for top tier TV's, keep looking at other brands like Sony, Panasonic and others. However, if you're looking for more of an entry-level HDTV that you can watch a few movies on and just lightly use, Insignia has some options that will meet your needs. However, it may be worth finding an extended warranty to ensure that if the Insignia TV fails within 5 years or so, you can get a replacement.

Yeah, I only bought this TV because the Sales man at Best Buy was really really pushing it. I went in the store wanting a Toshiba…
Now, I wish I had a time machine and I could go back to that day. Cause I Had like $1200.00 to just blow on toys, and I spent like $400.00 of it on this piece.
Here's my story…I bought a 37″ LCD Insignia, it is "Okay" nothing super good about it at all really. Save for the fact it fit the hole in my entertainment center. They have a 2 year warranty on them. Guess what?
Mine went out 2 months after the warranty was up…need I say more?
I'm going to cut these Best Buy bastards next time they approach me! >
> Purchased one of Best Buys LED LCD tvs, should have realized price was to good to be true. My 32 inch Walmart brand outlasts, out produces this set. Although the picture is good in the Best Buy brand the sound is trash. I called the store and even the store manager assured me that the sound issue could be corrected by switching the receiver mode. However, even after four visits from the cable supplier to my home to determine my service was fine this set does not produce surround sound, and yet the box specifically states true surround sound. Not the case, speakers are on the back of the set, unless you sit behind the set you are not getting true surround sound. There is a general lag when changing channels and turning the set on and off. BUY ANOTHER BRAND.
Bought 19″ LCD19W-09 at costco. This tv has been very difficult to turn on. It will let out a squeak sound each time the attempt is made. It may take as many as twenty attempts to finally get it turned on. I called Insignia and explained the problem and they denied there ever has been a problem such as mine to have happened. Anybody out there have the same difficulty?
yeah i have the same problem, tv won't come on properly. garbage brand>
> yes james we are having many problems,bought 42 smart tv like in february, problems turning on just appears black screen,sometimes no image when turns on, sometimes appears static and have to turn off and back again, this has been frustrating,a headache, do u know if we can exchange or upgrade or something helpp
Poor tv, picture and color are poor, SD reception is DREADFUL, blurry and no way to change the aspect to make it good.
I bought this TV bsceuae I own the 42 version and love it. The 55 not so much. The artifacting and pixelation around graphics/text and sports was horrible to the point the TV lasted on my wall for 3 days. Blu-ray and some HD broadcasts looked great but a majority of television programming (AT T U-Verse via ethernet/HDMI) and DVDs on my blu-ray player (Samsung 3600 via HDMI) looked horrid. Ice hockey players' legs would constantly flicker from the standard center-ice view. NFL and college ball had similar issues where the 50 yardline view resulted in flickering jerseys and a flashing football. I honestly never even used the set's speakers as everything goes through my receiver. Anyone looking for a quality LED LCD should avoid this TV like the plague. I ended up spending another $400 on the LG 55LV5500 and love it.
Two Insignia 39″ tv's, two returns to BB. Same issue with both. After auto program, toggled thru the channels and remote stopped working after about a minute. Keypad in specific channel and sometimes got it, other specific channels keyed brought different channels on screen. Menu functions disappered from screen in mid use and remote no longer responded. Went to the TV and used the buttons on the side…..no response, hit/miss. Will the tv buttons change channels, turn on/off or bring the menus up. No! Something way behond just a bad remote control. Must be a bad batch. Model #NS-39L700A12 Build date March 2012.
i bought an insignia tv from bestbuy and after two weeks the tv stop coming on. It would flash on and off for two or more hours before staying on. Now it just won't come on. Gargage brand. Fell into the low price and got what i paid for, garbage
Bought a 47″ a little over 2 years ago and have the same issue. I try to turn the tv on and it clicks like it turns on but nothing happens. Called to see if Best Buy would help since it is their brand and they said the warranty expired 3 months ago and they have never heard of an issue like I am having but I seem to be finding a lot of reviews talking about the same problem. Maybe this is why they are going to go bankrupt in the next couple of years.
We bought an insignia less than 1 month ago at Best Buy and it went out. We had the receipt but they still would not let us return it. They let us pick out a different one and tried to make us get another insignia, but my husband is smarter than that. The young girl at the counter had told us before we knew it that some else had returned the same tv with the same problem!!!
Insignia TVs are garbage. A bar owner I know bought no fewer than 10 (!) of the 32″ models and ALL of them were junk within 4 years. Note: They all made it barely past warranty, and started going bad from 25 to 34 months after purchase. Interestingly, they all did the same thing: suddenly, no power/no picture but if you plug it in and get up real close you can hear them "click click click"ing.
Do yourself a favor. Give your money to a bum, stab yourself in each leg with a steak knife, and forget about BB. They stink.
I also purchased my Insignia at Best Buy. My problem is that several dark smudgey spots appear when the background screen is dark. When there is a bright background screen the dark spots disappear. As time passes (meaning in days/months) more smudgey spots appear. Can anyone tell me what this might be ????

With instances of online financial frauds on the rise, Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today mooted the idea of using the social media by the regulator as a tool to pick-up wrongdoings.
"Can we enlist social media in enabling the public to identify fraud and can we as regulators filter that information in careful and responsible way so that we can collect information about what is happening and react to it?" Rajan posed the question while speaking at the annual Nasscom leadership conference here.
Elaborating on the subject, Rajan told reporters later that it is only an idea that perhaps over time; social media can be used as a listening post to pick up the latest frauds.
"It's early days, there are no plans but this is something we have to consider," he said.
Rajan, who has created a reputation of using unconventional methods to tackle issues at hand since taking over in September last year, said he broached the idea in the gathering because he believes the IT industry, which is laying greater focus on the SMAC (social media, mobile, analytics and cloud) area, can help come up with some solutions on this.
The RBI Governor, one of the youngest to occupy the corner office at Mint Road in recent times, added that the virtual space has two sides to it-- it can be used by a potential fraudster to trap hapless victims, while it can also be used as an asset for police to fight wrongdoings.
Rajan conceded that quite a lot of e-mails bearing his or the RBI's name and asking for personal details to give out some "prizes" are doing the rounds, and assured all that the RBI does not ask for any such data.
The country has a very robust social media with quite a lot of activities on Facebook and twitter, two of the most popular social media websites.
Even though the banks are active on such networks from the corporate identity perspective, the RBI does not yet have an official page or a handle on the popular websites.

For most Americans, it's difficult to imagine true poverty. The kind that brings into question every meal, the shirt on your back or the shoes on your feet. The kind that causes you to give up hope for tomorrow in order to survive just one more day. The blessings of life in America are truly unique, but, sadly, it's not for everyone. It's especially sad when those who suffer most are children.
But thanks to a caring organization called Children International and people just like us, these children have hope. I am so proud of the Coast to Coast listeners who have sponsored more than 1,800 children and made this program a Super Power in the fight against poverty.
Will you join me in sponsoring a child? My first child's name was Maritza. She's 9 years old now, but has moved out of Children International's coverage area.
The most recent child I am sponsoring is Yasmin, who now lives with the same hope and potential her parents once thought impossible. For a small monthly contribution, you too can provide a needy child with clothing, healthcare, educational support and much more. Then when your child and their family struggle to meet the daily basic survival needs, they can know hope lies ahead for a bright and prosperous future.
Join me, won't you? Visit this page to find your special child, or call 1-800-301-9194. See how just 75 cents worth of change a day, can make a big change in a small child's life...and maybe yours too!

The influence of technological regimes and strategic posturesMahnke, Volker; Overby, Mikkel Lucas; Özcan, Serden (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: IT-enabled innovations are of increasing importance for competitive success in most sectors today. This paper offers a novel theoretical and empirically illustrated explanation of why IT-outsourcing strategies differ between innovative first-movers, fast followers and late entrants. In particular, an analysis of three companies in the financial sector - Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investment, and Merrill Lynch - reveals that governance choices influence a company's ap-propriable learning curve advantage to slow down or speed up adoption and imitation of IT-enabled innovation. Moreover, we discuss the implications of governance choices in techno-logical environments characterised by either accumulation or disruption.

The Case of Mobile Service ProvidersEngel Nielsen, Lars; Mahnke, Volker (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many companies in high technology fields engage with alliance partners to reduce risks, create synergies and learn. While the challenges of managing individual alliances are well documented, little is known on how to manage several R&D alliances simultaneously. Multiple alliance strategies can be observed in several companies engaged in the cross section of telecommunication and mobile technology where increased complexity magnifies managerial challenges. Drawing on modern portfolio theory, this paper offers a model for managing portfolios of R&D alliances. In particular, an analysis of a technology platform leader reveals how companies can reduce several types of risks associated with new technology and gain synergies by engaging in several alliances simultaneously.

Shaping of user engagementsKnutsen, Lars Andreas (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The research motivation for this study is to improve the understanding, scholarly and my own, of wireless service adoption as services enters and leaves users' hands and minds. Wireless devices and services are enabling an unprecedented intertwinement of human actions and information systems in everyday life. Current IS research has so far paid scant attention to studying technologies which transcends the organizational domain. Little emphasis has also been provided beyond the absolute point of acceptance and adoption of artifacts. Nevertheless, many new wireless services transcend traditional use spheres. With this emerges the strong need to follow the shaping of user engagements with new mobile data services. This is the key phenomenon of interest in this dissertation.

Understanding and Addressing Workplace Disgruntlement through the Application of Organisational JusticeWillison, Robert (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Within the IS security field, employee computer crime has received increased attention. Indeed, a number of researchers have focused their attention on the behaviour of the 'insider', both prior to and during the perpetration. Despite this, there is currently an absence of academic insight into the problem of workplace disgruntlement and how this may motivate employee computer crime. To address this deficiency, this paper draws on a body of knowledge called 'organisational justice', which examines how perceptions of fairness are formed. Under this umbrella term are four constructs which relate to different organisational phenomena and influence employees' fairness perceptions. It is believed that these constructs, entitled distributive, procedural, interactional and informational justice, and the theories which underpin them, can not only assist in understanding, but also in mitigating disgruntlement. To illustrate this, a case of employee computer sabotage is analysed, highlighting which forms of organisational justice occurred, and how they could have been addressed. The discussion section notes how mitigating disgruntlement provides a new area for safeguard implementation, with the final part of the paper discussing the conclusions and potential for future research.

The Evolution of the Indian IT IndustrySudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this article I discuss the Indian outsourcing phenomena and ask the question now what? Using data from the Euro-India project I demonstrate that a small but significant part of the Indian IT entities are moving beyond outsourcing, to co-creation where Innovation and the desire to create new markets is the key driver. This does not imply that outsourcing will disappear but it does mean that firms will engage in globalization using innovative mix of business models and technical platforms. We discuss the implication of this slow transformation to co-creation of innovation for the global outsourcing industry. The key thesis of this paper is to discuss co-creation as a form of innovation and how such a form of innovation is likely to bring Indian companies rich dividends.

Abstract: SUMMARY The summary presents an overview of the dissertation and major findings of my research: · Research Area, Questions and Design · Frame of Reference - Domain Knowledge · Major Findings Research Area, Questions and Design This dissertation investigates development and use of multimedia teaching cases, as applied in business education. Teaching cases present companies, and the current problems or opportunities they are facing. (Barnes, Christensen and Hansen 1994, Maufette- Leenders, Erskine and Leenders 1997, Heath 1998, Manninen 1997.) The primary characteristic is that the case is based on real events. Very often the case description follows a decision-making situation. (Mauffette-Leenders, Erskine, and Leenders 1997, Hazard 2000.) The case is prepared by students and then discussed in class. The objective of the class discussion is to analyse the company's situation and come up with viable strategies for the future (Leenders and Erskine 1989, Heath 1998, Orngreen and Bielli 2001). Cases were introduced to business education already in 1910 at the Harvard Business School, and have since then gained widespread use throughout the world (Leenders and Erskine 1989). Traditionally teaching cases have been written descriptions, but the teaching cases in this dissertation are multimedia cases. The use of multimedia teaching cases is a relatively new phenomenon. Because of the novelty of the approach, research on how to apply these or developing them is extremely limited. Though I investigate both a use and a development perspective, the use dimension is investigated with the purpose to inform development. In particular the dissertation results in a set of roles and tools influencing the development process, which is also seen in my three research questions: 1. Which roles and tools characterise the development and use of multimedia teaching cases for business education? 2. How are these roles and tools applied to the multimedia development process, and how do they support or restrain the development. 3. How are the development roles and tools, and the use roles and tools interrelated, and how do they relate to a development model for multimedia teaching cases? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7746

Beyond the Business CaseHolck, Jesper; Kühn Pedersen, Mogens; Holm Larsen, Michael (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Lately we have seen a growing interest from both public and private organisations to adopt Open Source Software (OSS), not only for a few, specific applications but also on a more general level throughout the organisation. As a consequence, the organisations' decisions on adoption of OSS are becoming increasingly more important and complex. We present three perspectives organisations can employ in their decisions: seeing OSS acquisition as a business case, as COTS acquisition, and as architectural change within a governance framework. We present case studies of decisions on OSS adoption, and categorise the decision criteria we have found. Our results indicate that for large-scale adoption of OSS, focus will be on architectural considerations: enterprise-wide architectures will at first be a barrier, but in the long term OSS's support of open standards can be a major enabler for OSS adoption. In contrast, in smaller organisations and in small-scale adoption of OSS, the cheap price of OSS is a major enabler, as it provides a good opportunity for experiments and short-term economic benefits. For small organisations these experiments can lead to development of a common IT-architecture, and in larger organisations OSS can be adopted in niche-areas, without significantly violating an existing IT-architecture.

Considering systems risk from the offender's perspectiveWillison, Robert; Backhouse, James (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Systems risk refers to the likelihood that an IS is inadequately guarded against certain types of damage or loss. While risks are posed by acts of God, hackers and viruses, consideration should also be given to the 'insider' threat of dishonest employees, intent on undertaking some form of computer abuse. Against this backdrop, a number of researchers have addressed the extent to which security managers are cognizant of the very nature of systems risk. In particular, they note how security practitioners' knowledge of local threats, which form part of such risk, is often fragmented. This contributes to situations where risk reducing efforts are often less than effective. Security efforts are further complicated given that the task of managing systems risk requires input from a number of departments including, for example, HR, compliance, IS/IT and physical security. In a bid to complement existing research, but also offer a fresh perspective, this paper addresses systems risk from the offender's perspective. If systems risk entails the likelihood that an IS is inadequately protected, this text considers those conditions, within the organisational context, which offer a criminal opportunity for the offender. To achieve this goal a model known as the 'Crime Specific Opportunity Structure' is advanced. Focussing on the opportunities for computer abuse, the model addresses the nature of such opportunities with regards to the organisational context and the threats posed by rogue employees. Drawing on a number of criminological theories, it is believed the model may help inform managers about local threats and, by so doing, enhance safeguard implementation.

Busquets, Javier (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis is about innovation and power. Human nature has always been expressed by our capacity to innovate and adapt to almost any environment (Bowlby, 1962; Giddens, 1991). In the 20th century, the primary function of business organisations was to invent, produce and commercialise their products and services in different markets. As a matter of fact, business organisations in the last century proved to be the best way of disseminating innovation (Schön, 1971). Currently in the 21st century, there is a call to better understand how new ideas, technology and sources of knowledge are managed, based on the premise that novelty can unfold anywhere and that innovation cannot be considered a linear process consisting of a chain of activities.

reducing employee computer crime through Situational Crime PreventionWillison, Robert; Siponen, Mikko (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Employee computer crime represents a substantial threat for organisations. Yet information security researchers and practitioners currently lack a clear understanding of how these crimes are perpetrated, which, as a consequence, hinders security efforts. We argue that recent developments in criminology can assist in addressing the insider threat. More specifically, we demonstrate how an approach, entitled Situational Crime Prevention, can not only enhance an understanding of employee computer crime, but also strengthen security practices which are designed to address this problem.

Clemmensen, Torkil; Roese, Kerstin (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the concept of human-computer interaction in cultural and national contexts. Building and extending upon the framework for understanding research in usability and culture by Honold [3], we give an overview of publications in culture and HCI between 1998 and 2008, with a narrow focus on high-level journal publications only. The purpose is to review current practice in how cultural HCI issues are studied, and to analyse problems with the measures and interpretation of this studies. We find that Hofstede's cultural dimensions has been the dominating model of culture, participants have been picked because they could speak English, and most studies have been large scale quantitative studies. In order to balance this situation, we recommend that more researchers and practitioners do qualitative, empirical work studies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7948

Abstract: Brugerne af de danske uddannelsesinstitutionernes hjemmesider er slet ikke tilfredse. Bedst på Nettet har gennem de sidste fem år placeret institutionernes hjemmesider nederst, når det kom til både brugervenlighed og kvaliteten af betjeningen. Alligevel viser en helt ny undersøgelse fra CBS, at lederne af de selv samme institutioner endog er meget optimistiske og tilfredse, når de skal evaluere medarbejdernes it-kompetencer og anvendelsen af dem. "Det er et meget tankevækkende paradoks, som undersøgelsen viser, når vi sammenligner den med brugernes hårde dom de sidste 5 år. Noget kunne tyde på, at der er store udfordringer for lederne med at koble brugernes oplevelse af hjemmesiderne og de kompetencer som medarbejderne har sammen. Det entydigt positive billede af it-kompetencerne som vores undersøgelse afdækker kan tolkes positivt; at der er håb forude, men også negativt; at der mangler informationskanaler til lederne, der hjælpe dem med at vurdere, hvordan det står til med medarbejdernes reele it-kompetencer," fastslår professor Kim Viborg Andersen, der er ophavsmand til undersøgelsen. Der har medvirket over 700 ledere fra folkeskolerne, erhvervsskolerne og de videregående uddannelsesinstitutioner i undersøgelsen. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6472

A Delphi StudySudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Though this paper is in a very preliminary stage, I use the data gathered using the Delphi process to discuss some policy instruments that could be of use for emerging economies to create an environment of innovation. I acknowledge fiscal instruments to be an important driver but I choose not to focus on fiscal enablers of innovation rather focusing on how the lack of fiscal incentives can help create a sustainable environment for innovation. I use the early Indian experience and contrast it with later fiscal activism shown by the government to illustrate that perhaps the government need to focus on the supply side of knowledge and let the demand for knowledge and innovation be led by the firms at the local level. I argue this strategy to be the most sustainable in the long run. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8259

It is based on the understanding that clients and users are different and have different goals, and that self-service takes place in different contexts, on different platforms, and within different applications and this requires development of complementary approaches and solutions. Traditionally the tools used to predict user behaviour build on users leaving traces of their actions. However, new application and developments for existing applications do not gather traces, and new ways of profiling the user is needed. To digitalise e.g. public services such as TOLD & SKAT to meet citizen's needs is a huge challenge because the user's context has to be taken into account. As the tracking tools are not sufficiently refined (1,4,14) pushing of information to users with the aim of increasing sales, e.g. AMAZON, still leaves much to be wished for. Despite the fact that the user profile, which the system generates, is continuously updated through user's interaction with the system (15), e.g. myyahoo.com. Personalised application may both service the client and the user. The system gathers data about the user, which enables the client to push information to the user. Personalisation enables graphic user interface design that is personalised and relevant to the individual user and invites the user to get access to information with less strain. Personalisation of self-service solutions is promising and IT companies are experiencing an increase in the clients' demands. At the same time the development of solutions moves within a shorter and shorter time span. Hence the process of innovations is paced and there is an increasing need of new ways of looking at the process of development. However, we lack methods to predict user behaviour without having to deal with huge amounts of data and data from both quantitative data as well as life world observations are required.

The owners have been avid sailors all there lives but have decided to give up sailing. They have added a self tacking jib making it easier for short handed sailing.
The Marlow-Hunter 31 follows the pedigree of the 40 and 37 which were also introduced by Marlow-Hunter in the last two years under the new leadership of owner David Marlow. Mr. Marlow, owner of Marlow Yachts, a luxury power yacht builder, has raised the bar by influencing quality and design of a brand that already had forty years of experience building sailboats.
The 31, which has a Length Overall of 32'4" and a beam of 11'10" will be a tough contender for any model in her size range that tries to compete with the volume below. One of her best features is the spacious cockpit that will deliver a feel more like that of a larger boat. Performance will also be one of her strong features with a large sail plan and a Glenn Henderson hull design plus hard chine aft below the waterline which has become a signature for Marlow-Hunter sailboats built under David Marlow.
Below, her quality fit and finish is hand crafted using real teak furniture and floors, Corian countertops, ball bearing drawer hardware and name brand appliances and equipment. The construction of the hull and deck utilizes Vinyl Ester resins and gel-coats, continuous reinforcement fibers, Kevlar and state of the art Nida-coring for structural integrity for ours and our customer's, peace of mind.

Lou Ferrigno, The Incredible Hulk intertwined from the beginning
Lou Ferrigno — who will be one of the featured guests at Denver Comic Con this weekend — may be best known for portraying The Incredible Hulk, but it was the giant green beast who inspired the actor as a child.
An avid comic book fan growing up, Ferrigno read issues featuring the likes of Superman and Spider-Man, but it was Bruce Banner's alter-ego with his larger-than-life size that captured the boy's imagination. Growing up mostly deaf, he found escape in the stories and looked at the Hulk's muscles as a means to empower himself.
"I was obsessed with power," he said. "I used to fantasize being about it."

Annotated biological image sets for testing and validation
The Broad Bioimage Benchmark Collection (BBBC) is a collection of freely downloadable microscopy image sets. In addition to the images themselves, each set includes a description of the biological application and some type of "ground truth" (expected results).
Researchers are encouraged to use these image sets as reference points when developing, testing, and publishing new image analysis algorithms for the life sciences. We hope that the BBBC will lead to a better understanding of which methods are best for various biological image analysis applications.
The BBBC is organized by the Broad Institute's Imaging Platform. Please contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss submitting new image sets to BBBC, or notify us of papers referencing a BBBC image set so that we can provide the link to the paper and its results.
The BBBC resource is described in the following publication: Ljosa V, Sokolnicki KL, Carpenter AE (2012). Anno tated high-throughput microscopy image sets for validation. Nature Methods 9(7):637 / doi. PMID: 22743765 PMCID: PMC3627348. Available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmeth.2083

Johnson City, Tenn. - The ETSU athletic department announced the signing of 19 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent to play football for the Bucs. The 2000 Recruiting Class will become part of the ETSU program in the fall of 2000.
Outside linebacker Lamar Beam (Shelby, N.C.), tight end Scott Brumet (Pioneer, Tenn.), linebacker Corey Carter (Greenwood, S.C.), safety Ocasio Coefield (Ft. Myers, Fla.), running back Terry Copeland (Knoxville, Tenn.), linebacker Mike Cornegay (Fayetteville, N.C.), offensive tackle Matt Cox (Gray, Tenn.), quarterback Dashannon Gamble (Ladson, S.C.) and Bobby Guarino (Kennasaw, Ga.) will join the East Tennessee State program.
In addition, tailback Jason Nixon (Coeburn, Va.), receiver Andrew Nuckolls (Tunnel Hill, Ga.), Andrew Rhinehart (Elizabethton, Tenn.), defensive tackle Gary Rivers (Nashville, Tenn.), receiver/kicker Scott Salmons (Smyrna, Tenn.), safety Austin Smiley (Memphis, Tenn.), inside linebacker Donta Talford (Rock Hill, S.C.), wide receiver Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.), wide receiver Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) and offensive tackle Matt Winegar (Kingsport, Tenn.) will also become part of the football team this fall.
The 2000 recruiting class breakdown by state: Tennessee - 8 * Georgia - 4 * South Carolina - 3 * North Carolina - 2 * Florida - 1 * Virginia - 1.
"I think that this class has the possibility to be the best recruiting class that we have had since I have been the Head Coach at East Tennessee State," said Paul Hamilton. "As I look at the young men that are going to be joining our football program, first I want to commend Coach Billy Taylor for his outstanding job of organizing recruitment from the standpoint of our position needs.
"What excites me about this class is that athletically we have kids up and down the board that can run, kids that are quick and kids that can jump. These young men are really the kind of skill people that we need to play with year in and year out to give us a chance to move to the next level in this conference.
"Individually, Lamar Beam the linebacker that we signed from North Carolina has a chance to be a special player. Lamar was offered by just about everybody in our conference and is a great addition to our program. Terry Copeland, from here in Knoxville, is an outstanding running back. Corey Carter is a young man who scored 41 touchdowns last fall and broke the All-Time record for touchdowns in South Carolina. Andrew Nuckolls led the State of Georgia in touchdowns this past season and has great speed. I was very pleased with Andrew Rhinehart from Elizabethton. He has a chance to play in the slot position for us and we are enthused about his athleticism and very proud to have him in our football program.
"I think that we really helped ourselves at the linebacker position. In addition to Beam, Donta Talford from South Carolina was the captain of the Shrine Bowl Team. Bobby Guarino is a linebacker who has long jumped 22 feet while Mike Cornegay was the Most Valuable Player in the Northa Carolina State Championship game. I also think that we enhanced the receiver position with the addition of Tony Tiller and Tim Turner, a pair of athletic players who can really run. Scott Salmons, from here in Tennessee is another good receiver, who may see time as a kicker. He had a number of punts over 50 yards and kicked 27 of 37 kickoffs through the endzone.
Once again, I am very enthused about the kind of kids that we signed. Athletically, we were able to get the kind of kids that we are going to need to take the next step in the Southern Conference."

Ice Cream Bomb Recipe (EID SPECIAL)
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts; 6 servings
- 2 pints Mango Sorbet, recipe follows
- 1 1/2 pints good raspberry sorbet, softened
- 1 pint good strawberry ice cream, softened
- Freeze an 8-inch bowl. When it's cold, place the mango sorbet in the bowl and press it against the sides of the bowl.
- If you have a 6 1/2-inch bowl the same shape as the 8-inch bowl (such as from a set of nesting bowls), cover it with plastic wrap and press it into the sorbet to make the layer even.
- Freeze the sorbet for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Remove the 6 1/2-inch bowl.
- Spread an even layer of softened raspberry sorbet on top of the mango sorbet (a 4 1/2-inch nesting bowl wrapped in plastic wrap helps with this) and freeze for another 30 minutes or until firm.
- Remove the 4 1/2 inch bowl.
- Finally, spoon in enough softened strawberry ice cream to fill the bowl.
- Freeze until hard.
- To unmold, dip the bowl up to the rim in warm water.
- Run a knife around the edge to loosen the bombe and unmold upside down onto a flat plate.
- You may need to run a flexible metal spatula along the edge of the bombe to release it.
- Freeze until ready to serve.
- Serve in wedges.
Mango Sorbet:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 5 large ripe mangoes, peeled and seeded
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar dissolves.
- Set aside.
- Place the mangoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree.

- If you want a smoother sorbet, you can process the puree through a food mill fitted with a medium blade.
- Combine the mango, sugar syrup, orange juice, and salt and refrigerate until cold.
- Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions, (The sorbet will be soft.)
- Serve directly from the ice cream machine.

It is still early in the collection and analysis of energy performance data, but it is already clear that high-performance commercial buildings—some "almost net-zero buildings"—can be constructed cost effectively, providing productive environments for occupants, reducing operating costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of commercial properties.
The California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program sponsors the development and demonstration of energy-efficient building technologies. Over the past several years, PIER has developed strategic partnerships with the University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges, and California Department of General Services. These partnerships include a series of demonstration projects coupled with programmatic support to ensure continued deployment of energy-efficient technologies and practices across California. Examples of the latest energy-efficient innovations are described.

Truck overturns near Bonner Springs, killing up to 40 cattle
April 26, 2012
A truck full of cattle drove off an embankment of an interstate near Bonner Springs, Kan., and burst into flames, killing several cattle and closing one lane of the interstate.
The accident happened about 2:30 a.m. Thursday on westbound Interstate 70 near 110th Street in Bonner Springs.
Police say one lane of the interstate could be closed for most of the day as cleanup continues.
The driver of the truck has been hospitalized but the extent of his injuries was not immediately known.
About 30 to 40 cattle either died in the accident or had to be euthanized, while officials were rounding up several other cows.

Sunset in Paradise
January 19, 2015 - We just got back from the most amazing vacations that we have ever taken as a family. Our friends were so gracious to offer up their condo in Maui to our family for 10 days in paradise. I cannot put into to words what this vacation meant to my wife and I. We had the most amazing time just enjoying each other and the girls. It was so relaxing to just sit and enjoy the warm tropical beach. This was taken on our first or second night as we sat out there waiting for the sun to work its magic.
Ruby Sunset
May 24, 2014 - This was a photo I almost missed from Ruby Beach. This turned out the be quite the adventure where I almost got my car into a situation that I was not going to get out of trying to take what I thought was a shortcut. I am not sure what possessed me to keep going when I saw two trucks turn around but I did. Unfortunately it turned very bad but with little space to turn around and several scrapes to my car later I finally got back to paved road. I almost started heading home but decided to keep going the normal route. I made it just in time for this to happen. Overall it was a great weekend and well worth it.
Maui Sunset
January 25, 2015 - Sometimes you just happen to pick the right place at the right time. On one of the last nights we were in Maui, I decided to go shoot the sunset from this park. I had been looking at it all week and thought that it was a perfect spot but I had to wait for the perfect time. The clouds were just perfect for a great sunset so I told my wife it was time to go. She opted to hit up the three corners bar area while I was taking care of business. The plan was to join her when I was finished. After I got some compositions that I liked, I decided to join my wife for a nice dinner. We listened to a local artist on the back deck of the restaurant. It was a perfect ending to another great day in paradise. We are so blessed to get the opportunity to take this vacation. One that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Fire & Ice
October 9, 2013 - This was a photo I made a while back from Tipsoo Lake shortly before the pass closed for the season. One of the more dramatic skies I have experience from this spot and I have been here several times.
Latourell Falls
March 14, 2013 - Another view from a classic location in the gorge. This is Latourell Falls. I took this photo a while back and decided to reprocess it.
Rainier Sunrise
May 15, 2014 - An early morning photo I made just down the road from Northwest Trek. It is not very common to be able to see the mountain this early in the morning. It is usually consumed by clouds until mid day. The weather reports said it would be nice and so I set my alarm and headed out in hopes of capturing something great.
Palouse Falls
March 20, 2015 - This was the last shot I got from Palouse Falls on this day. The place was pretty crowded since it was a Friday and nice weather.
January 25, 2015 - This was the last sunset I captured while we were in Maui. It is really hard to pick which one was my favorite but this one had quite a bit of drama to it with the thick clouds. It created some nice contrast that I really liked.
Cloud Machine
March 16, 2015 - This was a shot I got near my house. The sun was low enough on the horizon to create a nice alpine glow on the low clouds that hovered below the mountain. One of my favorite close up shots of the mountain.
Palouse Winter
January 11, 2013 - This was a photo I took of Palouse Falls a while back. It is a combination of 8 horizontal images stitched together so that I could get a very wide angle shot and still keep a 2x3 ratio. This place is awesome year round but it is really something special in the winter time during freezing temperatures.
Rainier Reflection
October 16, 2014 - A nice reflection from Tipsoo Lake before the clouds started rolling in heavy. By the time sun set it had completely disappeared.
Multnomah Rain
January 10, 2013 - A classic composition of Multnomah Falls that never gets old to look at. This was taken on a pretty rainy day so there was not many people visiting the falls which is unusual.
Rainier Supermoon
April 25, 2013 - This was one of the first times I have been able to capture a supermoon from a great location. Unfortunately it was a bit overcast but I did manage to get some awesome color out of it.
Reflection Lake
July 31, 2014 - Sometimes you just need to take your focus off the subject and look around. Often times the magic is happening in a different direction as the sun drops below the horizon. This was a photo I almost missed because I was shooting the mountain. A night alpine glow with a pretty good reflection.
Just In Time
July 25, 2013 - This photo was taken on my way home from Eastern Washington. I decided to take Hwy 410 rather than going the quick route. I was not sure if I was going to have enough time to reach this location before the sun set. I barely made it. Mosquitoes were out in full force that night. I was only there about 10 minutes but must have been bitten 30 times.
Pacific Moonlight
January 23, 2015 - This is probably one of my favorite photos of the entire trip. I shot this late one night after my wife and I got back from our dinner cruise in Kihei. I loved how the clouds were masking the moon for just the perfect amount of light with a single exposure. It pretty much sums up the entire experience while we were in Maui.
Hawaiian Sunset
January 23, 2015 - This was a sunset I captured from the dinner cruise that my wife and I went on one evening while in Maui. It was one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen.
The Ledge
May 11, 2011 - There is something about standing on a ledge with no rails to make you realize just how small you really are. I can still remember the experience of planting my tripod legs out as far as I was willing to go so that I didn't have an obstructed view of the entire valley. I was very careful when panning my tripod for different exposures so that I could get an ultra wide shot like this one. I can also remember taking a deep breath when I stepped away from the ledge as if I had been holding it for the entire time.
Maui Sunstar
January 19, 2015 - This was a photo I made while visiting Maui with the family. I can't wait until we get to go back there again.
July 31, 2014 - A photo I made earlier this month while up at Mt Rainier. Reflection Lake is one of my favorite places to visit but I still feel like the perfect shot has continued to evade me. I will continue to keep going here until I finally feel like I have capture a great moment.
Tipsoo Reflection
October 16, 2014 - This was one of the last images that I made up at Lake Tipsoo the other night before the clouds starting rolling in pretty heavy. I really like the effect the win had on the clouds. I was hoping for a colorful sunset but unfortunately by the time that happened I couldn't even see most of the mountain.
Leavenworth Sunrise
November 9, 2013 - This was taken just outside of Leavenworth WA while my wife and I were on a little getaway for 2. I decided to get up early and see what I could find before she woke up one morning. I am glad I found this little gem of a spot.
Maui Waves
January 21, 2015 - This was a photo I made from the North Shore of Maui. There was some great surfing earlier in the day but by the time we got back it was a little too rough and everyone had got out of the water.
Mighty Palouse
May 11, 2011 - This is probably one of the most amazing places I have ever been. From the first moment I visited, I was hooked. I cannot help but stop there every time I am going through the area. To give you a perspective on the scale. The waterfall itself is about 180 feet tall. When you are standing on the edge of the cliff, you understand just how small you really are.
Cloud Cover
October 16, 2014 - This was one of the last photos I got of Mt Rainier from Tipsoo Lake before the clouds rolled in that day. I can't wait to get up there next year.
Trace Existence
July 31, 2014 - Sometimes all it takes is being alone in a field of grass with nature all around to make you feel at peace. We often find our lives consumed with the hustle of daily life and it takes a trip to our happy place to find our center. I don't have to pack too long or travel too far to find my reason for being. My backyard is a wonderland of mystery just waiting to be explored. I may never be anything more than someone you once knew. My only hope is that a piece of me remains to be explored long after I am gone.
I often wonder why I have been placed on this earth. Is it to carry a gun so that you can feel safe and free? I have done that. Is it to change an infinite number of watch batteries so that you can make it to work on time? I have done that too. Or is it to simply capture a moment so that you can experience something you may never see from a side of the planet I have never been? In time the gun will be replaced with something more advanced and the watch battery will be long since expired. My ticket will have been punched, but I hope the life I lived will remain for others to experience for eternity. That is the power of a camera!!!
Daffodil Delight
March 6, 2015 - Near Chambers Bay. I loved how the light was hitting this one particular flower. All I had to do was get in close so that it was all alone.
Garden of Eden
January 21, 2015 - While on a vacation to Maui, the family and I were headed out to Hana when we came across the "Garden of Eden." We all decided that we had to stop and take a stroll through this place. It was absolutely beautiful. I had so much from exploring my "macro" side while in this amazing garden.
May 24, 2014 - With the wife gone and a lot of free time on my hands this weekend, I decided to venture out to the Olympic Peninsula yesterday with a planned destination of Ruby Beach. From my house it is 3.5 hours so I was hoping for something good considering it is raining for the rest of the weekend. I left with plenty of time but got all the way out to the beach and decided to take my own route (trying to stay close to the ocean) rather than follow my GPS and just stay on hwy 101. This turned out to be a big mistake. I found myself on a primitive road that was 14 miles long and appeared to be a shortcut. This road was more suitable for a 4 wheel drive truck... Not my Acura... For some stupid reason I continued on this road for 9 of the 14 miles thinking it would get me back to the highway. There were 2 other vehicles out there and at one point even a truck turned around. It was shortly after this that I realized I was not going to make it. I prayed that I would just be able to get out of there. The sunset was pretty much off the table. Fortunately I was able to make up time once I got back to civilization. I barely made it in time which means I didn't get the best opportunity to find the perfect compositions or completely prepare my camera. I also didn't realize that I was going to be confronted with 50 other photographers but It made for an interesting experience. Here is one shot I got before heading home.

On Spending Cuts, Politicians Prefer Gimmicks
Eric Cantor Sprints After His Bolted Horse
Several Republican congressmen have written to U.S. Export-Import Bank President Fred Hochburg, asking some probing questions about the business plan the bank submitted to Congress last month. They rightly express concern about the bank's operations and risk management. They also cite the nondiversified portfolio of the bank, with its high reliance on the aircraft sector (which has long been about half of the bank's exposure) singled out for particular concern. The letter, in short, gives a good indication of where bodies are buried at Ex-Im.

Is Your Baby Bedding Toxic?
Is Your Baby Bedding Toxic?
Decades ago, clothing, linens and other textiles were anything but easy-care. The fabrics were heavy and cumbersome to clean, took forever to dry, and had more wrinkles than a Shar Pei. This kept housewives, which was just about every wife at the time, pretty busy.
When synthetic fibers came into the picture, American women sighed with relief. The clothes and linens were lighter, washed quickly, dried quickly, and wrinkles, if there were any, practically shook out. We've come to expect that - even with baby clothes, blankets and the bedding we use on crib mattresses.
However, over the years we've discovered more about the chemicals some of these synthetic fabrics actually have in and on them, and the blush is definitely fading from the easy-care chemical rose.
What chemicals can your baby be exposed to with crib bedding?
Labels like 'crease-resistant,' 'crease-proof,' 'no iron,' 'wrinkle-resistant,' 'durable press,' 'easy-care', 'wrinkle-free', 'stain-resistant,' 'wash and wear,' and 'permanent press' mean the fabrics are probably treated with formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde can cause a number of health conditions - burning and watery eyes, coughing, difficulty breathing, and allergic contact dermatitis where formaldehyde-containing fabrics come in contact with the skin.
According to the National Cancer Institute, formaldehyde is also human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance), and the Environmental Protection Agency agrees that's probably the case.
Formaldehyde is just one of the chemicals of concern in baby bedding, but it's enough.
What's the solution? Although you can buy untreated 100% cotton products, it might be easier to get organic cotton. Organic cotton is becoming so popular you can even find linens and clothing in major department stores. Not all stores, and not many items, but you may be able to find them.
If not, you can shop at specialty stores or online. There are literally hundreds of online stores that sell organic cotton sheets – including for a toddler or crib mattress – as well as blankets, pillowcases, clothing, and so on. You can also find them at Naturepedic – we make organic cotton crib sheets and other bed linens as well as organic crib mattresses. Check them out.
So … what do you do about the wrinkles?
Some organic cotton items don't wrinkle anywhere near as much as they did decades ago; it depends on the weave and a number of other factors. Our crib sheets, for example, look pretty good right out of the dryer. So, wrinkles might not be a problem.
Here are a few tips to keep wrinkles to a minimum, regardless of the fabric:
- Add vinegar to the final rinse cycle of your wash. Simply fill the fabric softener reservoir with one cup of vinegar to help keep textiles soft.
- Don't let your laundry sit in the washing machine. Take it out as soon as it's done, then shake things out and smooth them before putting them in the dryer.
- Pack the dryer loosely; the tighter it's packed, the more wrinkles you'll get.
- Take clothes out of the dryer as soon as the cycle is complete, immediately smooth them out, then fold or hang.
- If you need to iron something, use a steam iron. A combination of heat and moisture is the best wrinkle-fighter.
True, this all takes a little longer that permanent press. But it's worth it to protect the health of your baby, and yourself.

Preparing to Return to Civilian Life: A spouse's perspective
With small budgets and shifting priorities, the mission for the U.S. military is changing. An estimated 123,900 service members will leave the Services within the next five years. Some folks signed up for one tour and only intended to stay in for that enlistment. Others joined knowing they wanted to make this a career. Regardless of the reasons for separating from the military, a significant number of current service members will not make the military a career.
When I read articles about downsizing, I immediately think about how this would impact our family; specifically what happens to our pay and benefits. Any entitlement to pay and benefits after your service member leaves the service will depend on the circumstances of separation.
For example, if the service member retires; he or she is eligible for retirement benefits. Unfortunately, most folks who are separating due to the drawdown are not eligible for retirement benefits. If you fall into the later category, here are some tips to help you prepare for life outside the gates:
Pay: This is a big one. You and your service member will need to decide how you will earn an income. It may be helpful to consider the following:
- Your taxable and nontaxable income (i.e. allowances such as a housing allowance (BAH) are not taxable)
- Your current and estimated expenses (i.e. if you are living on the installation now and will move back to your home town, check out the local rental rates, property values, utility costs, etc.)
- The cost of living in your projected job market
- Your estimated income needed to meet or exceed your current standard of living
Health Care: Health care is the largest non-monetary part of the service member's benefit package. While the service member may be eligible for service-connect health care for life through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), your family generally loses coverage once the service member separates from the Service.
You may be able to receive health care coverage in the individual market, a health care exchange, or through an employer's plan. Your family may be eligible to participate in TRICARE's Transitional Assistance Management Program for 180 days of premium-free transitional health care benefits after regular TRICARE benefits end. After this coverage ends, your family may be eligible for the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP).
CHCBP is a premium-based program offering temporary transitional heath coverage from 18-36 months after TRICARE eligibility ends. A family premium for 2013 is $2,555 per quarter.
Life Insurance: Whether you are separating from military service or retiring, you will need to decide what to do with your Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage. SGLI stays with you for an additional 120 days after you leave the service, and then it stops for good. You need to decide to either take Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) or get your own individual life insurance.
For those who sustained injury or have chronic conditions, it is imperative to look at whether or not outside insurers will cover you. You can convert to VGLI in the specified time period without proof of good health. After that time period, you will have to prove you are in good health.
Keep in mind that Family Servicemember's Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) provides coverage for your spouse and children. It may be converted to an individual policy, but not to VGLI. Companies listed on the VA website will convert spouse health coverage without proof of good health during a specified time period.
Ancillary benefits: Ancillary benefits may include the Commissary, Exchange, reduced child care fees, or discounts in your local community – all part of the overall military lifestyle and some elements of the military compensation package.
In most cases, you will not be able to continue to access these privileges; however, some communities may provide benefits for veterans. It is recommended you ask each establishment to determine what type of documentation you need to show if you are eligible to participate. You may find there is another type of discount, such as a community membership, for folks who live in a specific neighborhood, which is available to you instead of a military discount.

An administrator has control over all packages being installed on a system by using an administration file. Unfortunately, an alternate administrative defaults file is often provided by the package designer, bypassing the wishes of the administrator.
Package designers sometimes include an alternate administration file so that they, not the administrator, control a package's installation. Because the basedir entry in the administrative defaults file overrides all other base directories, it provides a simple method for selecting the appropriate base directory at install time. In all versions of the Solaris operating environment prior to the Solaris 2.5 release, this was considered the simplest method for controlling the base directory.
However, it is necessary for you to accept the administrator's desires regarding the installation of the product. Providing a temporary administrative defaults file for the purpose of controlling the installation leads to mistrust on the part of administrators. You should use a request script and checkinstall script to control these installations under the supervision of the administrator. If the request script faithfully involves the administrator in the process, System V packaging will serve both administrators and package designers.

Suge Knight Compares Jimmy Lovine To A Ku Klux Klan
In a recent interview with TMZ, Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, intimated that Tupac deserved a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame over Bad Boy Records founder Diddy.
"I think Tupac should have a star on there," Knight said. "I mean, shit, Puffy got a star on there. Only thing he did was dance. So I think Tupac definitely should have one for being from the West Coast."
Suge's words closely mirror his now-infamous speech at the 1995 Source Awards, where he stated, "Any artist that wants to be an artist, and stay a star, and don't want to have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, then come to Death Row."
Suge continued, warning those in charge of the Walk of Fame to include Tupac.
"Yeah, they better do it one way the other," Knight said. "Because, I figure, if they don't hurry up and put Tupac on the Walk of Fame, all the Tupac fans and all the homies gonna start goin' down there and start scratchin' all the other names off. They might even remove Elvis."
Tupac joined Death Row Records in 1995 upon Knight posting a $1.4 million bail to get Tupac out of prison. From that point, Pac began a successful stint on Death Row until being fatally shot in 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a vehicle driven by Knight.
The mid-'90s saw a number of contentious departures from Death Row Records, including Snoop Dogg, who recently reconciled with Knight, and Dr. Dre.
During the interview, Knight also sent shots at Jimmy Iovine, who took Dr. Dre under his wing to form Aftermath Entertainment under Iovine's Interscope Records.
"I'ma be Jimmy Iovine [for Halloween]," Knight said. "You're not gonna actually see my face. I'm just gonna have a white sheet on my head with the eyes cut out. Like the Klan."
