This strategic and marketing perspective, com- bined with the information we gained from their research studies, has given our stations a tremendous advantage in this intensely competitive field. The Research Group really understands the concept of 'value added'. Sometimes I think they invented it. Their influence at our strategic sessions is invaluable... and it goes way beyond the information that comes between the covers of one of their studies. It's the quality of their thinking, the scope of their experience and their commitment to our company and its goals that earns them a place in our most critical and sensitive planning meetings. We don't think of them as a research company; we think of them as part of our team. And if you know us very well, that's the highest compliment we can pay anyone." In almost every field, there is a company that has earned a reputation as the leader.

  • Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism by Rachael Horowitz Television, As a Cultural Expression, Is Uniqu
    Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism By Rachael Horowitz Television, as a cultural expression, is unique in that it enjoys relatively few boundaries in terms of who receives its messages. Few other art forms share television's ability to cross racial, class and cultural divisions. As an expression of social interactions and social change, social norms and social deviations, television's widespread impact on the true “general public” is unparalleled. For these reasons, the cultural power of television is undeniable. It stands as one of the few unifying experiences for Americans. John Fiske's Media Matters discusses the role of race and gender in US politics, and more specifically, how these issues are informed by the media. He writes, “Television often acts like a relay station: it rarely originates topics of public interest (though it may repress them); rather, what it does is give them high visibility, energize them, and direct or redirect their general orientation before relaying them out again into public circulation.” 1 This process occurred with the topic of feminism, and is exemplified by the most iconic females of recent television history. TV women inevitably represent a strain of diluted feminism. As with any serious subject matter packaged for mass consumption, certain shortcuts emerge that diminish and simplify the original message. In turn, what viewers do see is that much more significant. What the TV writers choose to show people undoubtedly has a significant impact on the understanding of American female identity. In Where the Girls Are , Susan Douglas emphasizes the effect popular culture has on American girls.

  • Texas Death Penalty Developments in 2016: the Year in Review
    EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2016, 12:01 AM CDT Texas Death Penalty Developments in 2016: The Year in Review Executive Summary The Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (TCADP) – a statewide advocacy organization based in Austin, Texas – publishes this annual report to inform citizens and elected officials about issues associated with the death penalty during the past year. The report cites these recent death penalty developments in Texas: • In 2016, new death sentences remained at their lowest level since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the state’s revised capital punishment statute in 1976. Jurors condemned three individuals to death, but rejected the death penalty in a fourth case. • Application of the death penalty remains racially biased. Over the last five years, 80% of death sentences have been imposed on people of color. • Use of the death penalty also remains geographically isolated. Just seven counties account for approximately two-thirds of all new death sentences in Texas since 2012. • For the second consecutive year, there were no new death sentences in Harris or Dallas Counties. • The State of Texas put seven people to death in 2016, the lowest number of executions in two decades. Texas accounted for more than one-third of all U.S. executions. • Of the seven men put to death by the State of Texas in 2016, two were Hispanic and five were white. It was the first time since 1984, and only the second year since the resumption of executions in 1982, that no African-Americans were executed in Texas. • Nearly half of the individuals executed by the State of Texas over the last two years had a significant impairment.

Cayce Petitioner - Appellant Clerk v. LORIE DAVIS, DIRECTOR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS DIVISION, Respondent - Appellee Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:16-CV-1687 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* This case involves a question of competence to be executed. On January 2, 2018, John Battaglia filed a motion in the district court for funding of investigatory services and a motion for stay of execution. The district court denied the motions, stating that “any grant of funding for such an investigator would appear to be a misallocation of federal funds.” We affirm. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

Battaglia first raised the competency issue in February 2016, when he filed a motion in state trial court for appointment of counsel to investigate, prepare, and file a competency claim.2 The motion was summarily denied.3 Battaglia next filed a motion in federal court, requesting the appointment of counsel under 18 U.S.C.

Burrows Submitted in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, May 2014 3 University of Sussex Karen K. Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.
