Global communication at the speed of light has become a great asset to both businesses and private citizens. However, there is a dark side to the age we live in as it allows terrorist groups to communicate, plan, fund, recruit, and spread their message to the world. Given the relative anonymity the Internet provides, many law enforcement and security agencies investigations are hindered in not only locating would be terrorists but also in disrupting their operations.

  • Sam Harris Interview Part Four
    SAM HARRIS INTERVIEW PART FOUR NOTE: This transcript was generated by the service Rev.com, and though it’s quite good, it is imperfect. If you would like to quote anything from this episode you are welcome to! But please find the point in the audio where the quote originates, and verify that the transcript is accurate. If Rev’s transcript is inaccurate, we ask that you only post or publish a version of the quote that you deem correct (because your ears are awesome!). Hello again, Ars Technica listeners. This is the fourth and final installment of a four-part interview with neuroscientist, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and controversial public intellectual, Sam Harris. We’ll pick up with the uplifting theme we left off on yesterday. Which is to say, high tech weaponry that tomorrow’s nihilistic, suicidal mass murderers might just use to kill very large numbers of us. Before we get started though, a quick note of orientation. As those of you who listened to last week’s interview with UCSF neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley know, I originally thought this podcast series would be a limited set of just eight episodes connected to my latest science fiction novel, which is also called After On, and which came out last summer. But the podcast acquired a life of its own, and I’m about to publish episode #38 in the series of eight. As you’re about to find out, these first eight episodes have a distinctive format, in that each of them ends with a conversation between me at Tom Merritt - who you might may from CNET, from TechTV, then later from Leo Laporte’s network, and now from Tom’s own videocast, Daily Tech News Show.

  • Reply Comments to Comment 36
    Reply Comments to Comment 36. David B. Carroll 19 February 2003 1. Class of Work From Comment #361: Audiovisual works as follows: foreign-language audiovisual works not available for sale in the United States but available for purchase outside the US on DVDs that are regionally encoded to prevent playback on DVD players purchased in the United States. The exemption requested is to permit circumvention of the region coding mechanism. 2. Summary of Argument Additional factual information in support of Comment #36’s initial request for an exemption is submitted. The proposed class is compared against a similar class from Comment #352, which offers some advantages over this class. 3. Factual Support / Legal Arguments 3.1.Evidence of a need to circumvent DVD region coding for works in this class. The Library’s solicitation for comments makes it clear that a demonstration of actual or likely damage is a prerequisite for a successful exemption, rather than an argument based solely on hypothetical or legal grounds. I have collected additional examples of, and documentation for, real-world demand for DVD content unavailable in Region 1 (“R1”) format. 3.1.1. DVD features unavailable on VHS. In rejecting an exemption for circumvention of DVD access controls in 2000, the Library of Congress wrote3: 1 Carroll, David B. Comment #36. 18 Dec 2002. http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2003/comments/036.pdf. 2 Von Lohmann, Fred and Gwen Hinze, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Gigi Sohn, Public Knowledge. Comment #35. Dec 2002. http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2003/comments/035.pdf. From the comments and testimony presented, it is clear that, at present, most works available in DVD format are also available in analog format (VHS tape) as well..

Introduction Off-air television stations broadcast signals from terrestrially-based facilities directly to television receivers. Comsearch identified those off-air stations whose service could potentially be affected by the proposed Glacier Sands Wind Project in Mason County, Illinois. Comsearch then examined the coverage of the stations and the communities in the area that could potentially have degraded television reception due to the location of the proposed wind turbines. 2. Summary of Results The proposed wind energy project area and local communities are depicted in Figure 1, below. Figure 1: Wind Farm Project Area and Local Communities Comsearch Proprietary - 1 - July 29, 2019 Glacier Sands Wind Power, LLC Wind Power GeoPlanner™ Off-Air Television Report Glacier Sands Wind To begin the analysis, Comsearch compiled all off-air television stations1 within 150 kilometers of the proposed turbines. TV stations at a distance of 150 kilometers or less are the most likely to provide off-air coverage to the project area and neighboring communities. These stations are listed in Table 1, below, and a plot depicting their locations is provided in Figure 2.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

  • Wealth Effects of Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Entertainment Industry
    Diversification or Focus? Wealth Effects of Acquisitions & Divestitures in the Entertainment Industry by Kenneth Low An honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Undergraduate College Leonard N. Stern School of Business New York University May 2013 Professor Marti G. Subrahmanyam Professor Kose John Faculty Adviser Thesis Adviser 1 ABSTRACT The US entertainment industry is dominated by media conglomerates that have diversified their media operations through many years of corporate acquisitions. However, past research indicates that firms which acquire highly-related businesses tend to outperform firms which acquire poorly-related businesses, thereby suggesting that firms benefit from focused operations. In addition, M&A trends in the entertainment industry over the last ten years indicate that firms have moved away from poorly-related acquisitions that diversify their business to highly-related acquisitions that focus their operations, further fueling the discussion of the influence of business relatedness on firm performance. Should entertainment firms pursue diversification or focus? This thesis attempts to identify the optimal business development and acquisition strategy for entertainment firms today by analyzing the influence of business relatedness on wealth effects of corporate acquisitions and divestitures in the industry. The study finds that, in the entertainment industry, the market tends to favor highly-related acquisitions over poorly- related acquisitions and divestitures of poorly-related assets over divestitures of highly- related assets. Taken together, these findings suggest that the ideal business development strategy for entertainment firms today is one that pursues operational focus. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge Professor Kose John, my thesis advisor, for his extremely valuable advice and support during the research and writing process of this thesis.

  • Introduction
    MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2009 Integrating Online Multimedia into College Course and Classroom: With Application to the Social Sciences Michael V. Miller Department of Sociology The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA [email protected] Abstract Description centers on an approach for efficiently incorporating online media resources into course and classroom.
