Fox Nascar Bestows Second-Annual 'The Byrnsie FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Megan Englehart Sunday, June 26, 2016 [email protected] FOX NASCAR BESTOWS SECOND-ANNUAL ‘THE BYRNSIE AWARD’ UPON SPOTTER CHRIS OSBORNE Award in Honor of Steve Byrnes Given to Matt Kenseth’s Spotter on Sunday’s NASCAR RACEDAY on FS1 FOX NASCAR presented Chris Osborne, Matt Kenseth’s spotter, with the second-annual “The Byrnsie Award” during Sunday’s NASCAR RACEDAY telecast from Sonoma Raceway on FS1. Osborne, a veteran in the NASCAR garage, was sidelined the first part of the 2016 season after sustaining serious injuries in an accident with a drunk driver during the holidays. In honor of late FOX NASCAR broadcaster Steve Byrnes, whose nickname was ‘Byrnsie,’ the award was established in 2015 to celebrate an individual in the NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES who embodies principles Byrnes demonstrated daily in his personal and professional life -- preparation, teamwork and family within the garage area. Osbourne was voted the recipient by Byrnes’ colleagues on the FOX NASCAR broadcast team, of which he was a member since the first race broadcast in February 2001. Byrnes passed away in April 2015 following a courageous battle with cancer. Bryson Byrnes, Steve’s son, introduced the award on-camera from the NASCAR RACE HUB studios in Charlotte, N.C., while FOX NASCAR play-by-play announcer Mike Joy presented the trophy to Osborne on the spotters’ stand at Sonoma Raceway. “The winner of this year’s FOX Byrnsie Award is spotter Chris Osborne, who like my dad, displaced tremendous amounts of strength, courage and determination this year in the garage,” Bryson said on NASCAR RACEDAY. “Congratulations to Chris. I know that my dad would be very proud.” Osborne, affectionately known as “Crazy” in the NASCAR community, suffered severe right leg and foot injuries. His wife, Melissa, sustained major pelvis, hip, shoulder, arm and elbow injuries, while Osborne’s son, Austin, sustained a concussion, cracked sternum, partially collapsed lung and broken nose. The NASCAR community rallied around Osborne, one of its most beloved spotters, in the weeks following the accident and throughout the ensuing recovery process. Osborne returned to the spotters’ stand at Martinsville Speedway in late March. “It’s a privilege to be the recipient of the second Byrnsie Award,” Osborne told Joy. “I know Byrnes’ love for everything that he had done in this sport … the determination he had to do his job, and first and foremost, how much he cared for and loved his family, and he put that number one. I feel like our family has been through a lot, and I’ve tried to do the same. It’s a great honor that the FOX group has voted me the second recipient of The Byrnsie Award. I certainly do appreciate it.” To watch the presentation, please CLICK HERE. Sunday’s NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES race telecast from Sonoma Raceway is FOX Sports’ final Cup Series race of the 2016 season. FOX Sports continues through the remainder of the year with live, exclusive coverage of the entire NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES season. In addition, NASCAR RACE HUB airs daily on FS1, and NASCAR RACEDAY and NASCAR VICTORY LANE air before and after, respectively, every Cup Series race through the end of the year. FOX Sports is back in February with live coverage of the 2017 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES, NASCAR XFINITY SERIES and NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES seasons from Daytona. --FOX SPORTS-- .

  • Behind the Scenes: COVID-19 Consequences on Broadcast Sports Production
    International Journal of Sport Communication, 2020, 13, 484–493 https://doi.org/10.1123/ijsc.2020-0231 © 2020 Human Kinetics, Inc. SCHOLARLY COMMENTARY Behind the Scenes: COVID-19 Consequences on Broadcast Sports Production Roxane Coche and Benjamin J. Lynn University of Florida Live events are central to television production. Live sporting events, in particular, reliably draw big audiences, even though more consumers unsubscribe from cable to stream content on-demand. Traditionally, the mediated production of these sporting events have used technical and production crews working together on- site at the event. But technological advances have created a new production model, allowing the production crew to cover the event from a broadcast production hub, miles away, while the technical crew still works from the event itself. These remote integration model productions have been implemented around the world and across all forms of sports broadcasting, following a push for economic efficiency—fundamental in a capitalist system. This manu- script is a commentary on the effects of the COVID-19 global crisis on sports productions, with a focus on remote integration model productions. More specifically, the authors argue that the number of remote sports productions will grow exponentially faster, due to the pandemic, than they would have under normal economic circumstances. The consequences on sport media education and research are further discussed, and a call for much needed practice-based sports production research is made. Keywords: education, live sports, REMI NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) returned to racing in Darlington, South Carolina, on May 17, 2020, more than 2 months after the last pre-COVID-19 event, on March 8.

  • Noise, Detectability, and Implications for System Design
    Task-Based Imaging Performance in 3D X-Ray Tomography: Noise, Detectability, and Implications for System Design by Jianan (Grace) Gang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Jianan (Grace) Gang 2014 Task-Based Imaging Performance in 3D X-Ray Tomography: Noise, Detectability, and Implications for System Design Jianan (Grace) Gang Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Quantifying imaging performance is an important aspect in the development, optimization, and assessment of medical imaging systems. This thesis addresses new challenges in the characterization of imaging performance for advanced x-ray tomographic imaging technologies. Central to the work is a task-based cascaded systems analysis framework that encompasses aspects of system geometry, x-ray beam characteristics, dose, detector design, background anatomy, model observers, and the imaging task. The metrology throughout includes Fourier domain descriptors of spatial resolution (modulation transfer function, MTF), noise (noise-power spectrum, NPS), noise-equivalent quanta (NEQ), and task-based detectability. Central elements and advances of the work include: a task-based model for 3D imaging performance in tomosynthesis and cone-beam CT (CBCT); generalization of imaging performance metrics to include the influence of anatomical background clutter; validation of the model in comparison to human observer performance; extension to dual-energy (DE) tomographic imaging; analysis of non-stationary (i.e., spatially varying) signal and noise characteristics; and extension to model- based statistical image reconstruction. In each case, the analytical framework demonstrates the ii importance of task-based assessment and the capability for system optimization in a fairly broad scope of clinical applications ranging from breast to abdominal and musculoskeletal imaging.
