3.Handheld and Mobile Video Devices
B.Consumer Premises Equipment
Changes in consumer premises equipment ("CPE") technology have an important impact on competition in the video programming market. CPE is the necessary means by which consumers access the services that broadcasters, MVPDs, and OVDs provide. Because CPE is an integral part of viewing video programming, CPE features such as recording, home networking, and user interface are factors to consumers when choosing their programming provider and which services to purchase. Further, interoperability of CPE can impact the ability to consumers to seamlessly switch providers. In this section, we report on a number of developments in this area that affect the manner and state of competition in the video marketplace. We specifically note, where possible, developments since the last report, and examine the technological, regulatory and market developments that have had an effect on or are likely in coming years to affect competition in the video market. We begin by summarizing navigation device developments by MVPDs and by non-affiliated vendors. We then review developments in devices used to access online video and mobile video services.
a.Leased CPE
MVPDs have been deploying set-top boxes that allow consumers to move content among other MVPD-provided set-top boxes in the home and incorporating cable modems into set-top gateways. MVPDs are also providing video to portable screens, such as Internet-connected smart phones and tablet computers. Cable companies continue to support CableCARD and, as described in more detail below, are working to implement an IP based recordable output.139
MVPDs have widely begun deploying multi-room DVR and home networking solutions. Comcast's "AnyRoom DVR," AT&T's "Total Home DVR," and DIRECTV's "Whole Home DVR" are current examples of MVPD-provided services that move recorded video content among MVPD-provided set-top boxes in the home. DIRECTV's multi-room DVR provides full DVR capabilities on other DIRECTV set-top boxes connected to a central HD DVR in a consumer's home.140 Similarly, DISH Network's DuoDVR receivers allow two independently controlled televisions to be connected to the same set-top box.141 In addition, DISH Network's TV Everywhere service streams video from a consumer's set-top box via IP to a remote computer, mobile device, or "WiFi Monitor."142 The DISH Network WiFi Monitor is a portable HD monitor with built-in wi-fi and a streaming receiver. This remote viewing service works both inside and away from the consumer's home.
Some MVPDs are deploying cloud-based user interfaces that take advantage of IP connectivity in leased set-top boxes. For example, Comcast's Xfinity TV uses a cloud-based interface that allows subscribers to search content from live television, on demand, or on their DVRs, in addition to providing access to weather and traffic applications, and social networking features.143 Comcast has also begun a trial of a more robust IP based program guide and video delivery platform that targets delivery to IP enabled devices.144 Time Warner has started to implement a cloud-based user guide providing improved search and navigation features through its set-top boxes equipped with a DOCSIS IP connection.145
Additionally, MVPDs have been working on ways to expand access to their services by retail products.146 For example, DIRECTV is a founding member of the "RVU Alliance," which has developed open-standard technology that permits the distribution of video programming directly to televisions and other devices throughout the home from IP-enabled gateway devices. Portable media players, gaming consoles, and Internet-connected smart phones and tablet computers have become popular ways to interact with video as well. While an increasing number of these devices can access many MVPD services, the AllVid Tech Alliance asserts that few devices from non-affiliated vendors can access MVPD services.147
b.CableCARDs and Section 629 of the Communications Act
Pursuant to Section 629 of the Act,148 the Commission adopted regulations to assure the commercial availability of consumer electronics equipment that can access MVPD services.149 In enacting the section, Congress pointed to the vigorous retail market for CPE used with the telephone network and sought to create a similarly vigorous market for devices used with MVPD services.150 The Commission has made regulatory efforts to develop this market and continues to analyze marketplace developments.
In 2003, the Commission adopted CableCARD standards that make cable service compatible with consumer electronics devices.151 These standards direct cable operators to separate the conditional access152 functions of a set-top box from the box's other functions, like tuning and guide rendering (i.e., drawing the image you see when you push the "guide" button on your remote).153 This separation requirement is commonly referred to as the "integration ban." CableCARDs permit the reception of digital cable programming via commercially available devices without using a cable operator supplied set-top box. Consumers, however, must obtain a CableCARD from their local cable operator to insert into digital television sets, competitive set-top boxes (e.g., TiVo) or other devices they have purchased at a retail outlet. While the CableCARD-compatible devices available at retail today are only capable of receiving one-way cable service, operator-supplied set-top boxes using CableCARDs are capable of two-way communication with the headed.154
Despite the CableCARD standards, consumer adoption of retail CableCARD-compatible devices has not matched the Commission's expectations.155 The following table shows the reported number of CableCARD deployments for use in retail CableCARD-enabled devices since 2006156 and the deployment of operator-supplied set-top boxes with CableCARDs since the integration ban went into effect on July 1, 2007.157
Table 29: Deployment of CableCARDS (Cumulative)158
Year (as of June)
CableCARD Deployment for Use in Retail Devices – Top 10 Cable Operators
Operator-supplied Set-top Boxes With CableCARDS
While our CableCARD rules have allowed vendors like TiVo and Hauppauge to build retail devices that connect to cable systems, the cable industry criticizes the CableCARD regime as expensive and ineffective.159 Non-cable MVPDs insist that CableCARDs are too cable-centric, and that future standards should consider that their systems differ from cable systems.160 According to certain public interest and local government entities, disagreement in the industry about the best mechanism to achieve a competitive retail market for CPE devices has limited the choices available to consumers.161
In October 2010, the Commission adopted rules to eliminate four impediments to consumer adoption of CableCARDs, including rules that: (1) ensure that retail devices can access all video programming that is prescheduled by the programming provider; (2) increase transparency in CableCARD pricing and billing; (3) streamline CableCARD installation; and (4) streamline requirements for manufacturers who build CableCARD devices.162 In the same order the Commission replaced the IEEE 1394 connector that was meant to be a recordable digital output from MVPD leased set-top boxes with an IP based open-standard connection with certain requirements in service discovery, video transport, and remote command pass-through for home networking. Beginning December 1, 2012, cable operators must deploy set-top boxes that meet the IP-based output requirement. Once that requirement takes effect, retail-purchased CPE will be able more effectively to network with and view content from MVPD-provided devices.
c.CableCARD Successors
The Commission and industry have undertaken several efforts to update, extend, or replace the CableCARD regime.163 Most recently, the Commission has begun exploring a replacement concept referred to as "AllVid." The AllVid NOI introduced the concept of an adapter that could act either as a small "set-back" device for connection to a single smart video device or as a gateway allowing all consumer electronics devices in the home to access multichannel video programming services in addition to any other services the devices might have access to.164 Unlike CableCARD technology, this adapter could support the development and marketing of retail smart video devices that attach to any MVPD service anywhere in the United States. Such an approach could greatly enhance the incentives for manufacturers to enter the retail market. As conceived, an MVPD would supply an adapter that would communicate with the MVPD service, perform the tuning and security decryption functions that may be specific to that particular MVPD, and deliver video to retail devices using a common home networking protocol. In this manner, a retail smart video device would be able to integrate MVPD and non-MVPD services, perform navigation functions, including the presentation of programming guides and search functionality. The Commission is continuing to monitor and evaluate the market for devices that can access MVPD services.
Increased broadband speeds will allow consumers to receive IP-delivered video content within the home across multiple broadband-capable devices, game consoles, and standalone devices like those provided by Apple, Roku, Boxee, and Google.165 These devices allow users to navigate and receive video delivered via broadband Internet and display it on a television monitor. In the OVD section of this Report, we note that many of the leading OVDs make their services available via a wide variety of consumer electronics products. The converse is also true – many consumer electronics products give consumers access to a variety of OVD services.
Vendors have also begun to integrate and blend linear television service from MVPDs and broadcasters with OVD services. For example, Boxee's LiveTV is a digital television tuner peripheral that connects to Boxee's media player, where the over-the-air broadcast television signals are presented to consumers alongside OVD services.
a.Mobile IP Devices
The proliferation of portable media devices with broadband IP capability has opened up new video distribution opportunities for MVPDs and OVDs alike. Devices such as laptops, netbooks, smartphones and media tablets all have IP connections and high resolution screens for consumers to watch video. Gartner, Inc. projects that over 100 million media tablets will be sold worldwide by the end of 2012.166 The number of smartphones with 4G connectivity is on the rise as well, which enables video providers to potentially deliver high quality video to viewers.167 To access the mobile IP market, MVPDs have begun making their video content accessible over a host of portable devices. For example, Comcast's XFinity TV service provides on-demand video to laptops, smartphones, and tablets.168 DIRECTV's "nomad" service allows consumers to copy recordings from their HD DVR to their phones, laptops, or tablets for viewing without an active network connection. To facilitate these services, MVPDs and programmers are looking to cloud-delivery mechanisms for IP connected devices including, tablets, smartphones, televisions, laptops, and other mobile devices.169
b.Specialty Mobile Devices
For the purposes of this Report, specialty mobile devices are those that include specialized hardware to receive mobile video services from the mobile provider's network, as opposed to those that receive mobile video via the Internet. Such devices often have the advantage that they are served by a broadcast or point-to-multipoint system, so they do not consume data from a data plan, and many devices can receive content simultaneously in a crowded location such as a stadium or arena. However, the specialized hardware needed to access the mobile video services requires vendors to design devices for a specific service, potentially restricting the number of services than can be accessed by a device, and diminishing the willingness of vendors to build devices that support the service.
Since the last report, mobile providers have continued to experiment in ways to send broadcast video programming to mobile devices. For example, MediaFLO was an attempt by Qualcomm to broadcast video to mobile devices. MediaFLO receivers were built into a range of Verizon Wireless handsets, which Verizon utilized for its VCAST service.170 However, with the growth of IP connected smartphones, Verizon Video is now delivered over IP, and the specialized MediaFLO reception hardware is no longer necessary or included in handsets. The MediaFLO network was shut down in late 2010, and Qualcomm sold the spectrum to AT&T. ATSC Mobile/Handheld ("ATSC M/H") receivers have appeared in the market, mostly in the form of USB tuner peripherals that connect to personal computers.171 These USB receivers allow consumers to view ATSC M/H broadcasts on their laptops.172 Driven by industry groups like the Open Mobile Video Coalition ("OMVC"),173 some smartphone manufacturers have announced plans to include the hardware needed to receive ATSC M/H broadcasts in their products beginning in late 2012.174 MetroPCS will offer handsets made by Samsung that include ATSC M/H reception hardware.175 The resulting increase in specialty receiver penetration could allow mobile broadcast video services that rely on ATSC M/H specialty receivers to succeed where the previous attempts have been unsuccessful.
In order to compete in the mobile video marketplace by delivering video over their own networks, satellite-based providers face technical challenges such as antenna size, weight, and ability to track satellites while in motion. Because they must be larger than would typically be found in a handheld device, mobile satellite-based devices are more often are integrated into passenger vehicles. Several companies have attempted to introduce mobile video services targeted toward family-sized passenger vehicles. CruiseCast, a joint service of AT&T Inc. and RaySat Broadcasting Corp., began service in June 2009, but in November 2009 ceased activating new customers and refunded existing customers for equipment purchased.176 ICO mim (mobile interactive media) launched its North American geosynchronous satellite in 2007. ICO had planned to provide interactive mobile video, navigation, and emergency assistance, but does not appear to have expanded beyond trials begun in 2009.177 SiriusXM's Backseat TV continues to operate, offering three family-oriented channels – Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network. Backseat TV can be purchased pre-installed in several vehicle models, with controls integrated into the vehicle's audio head unit.178

One of the highlights of the Ottawa Explosion Weekend last year was a packed in-store performance at Vertigo Records that featured Halifax punks the Booji Boys along with a pair of Sudbury groups, the Ape-Ettes and Tommy and the Commies. The latter tore through a short set of bright, upbeat 77-style punk rock with a significant Buzzcocks vibe. That influence just radiates from "Devices," a track from the band's new four-song cassette release Tommy and the Commies... Again. The band recorded the tracks live with Mick Futures (Strange Attractor drummer Mitch Houle) at Piss Factory Studios on January 6.
The new set carries an April 7 release date, but you can likely grab physical copies at the band's upcoming shows. Tommy and the Commies will play this Wednesday at Sudbury's Townhouse Tavern with Ancient Shapes, then on Friday in North Bay at Raven and Republic with the aforementioned Ape-Ettes.
This is so much fun:

Medicine Hat bred post-punk group Freak Heat Waves (who have now relocated to Montreal after a time in Victoria) are set to return with their ambitious third full length on April 6. Telephone Explosion will release the record, titled Beyond XXXL. It follows up 2015's Bonnie's State of Mind. In a statement, multi-instrumentalist and singer Steven Lind described the band's trippy new sound:
In the past we were happy to use identifiable instruments, but this time we were set on creating our own sounds... We processed everything, blended drum machines with real drums, and re-amped our synths and guitars to get into a mutant futuristic zone. New territory was the goal.
The band's core of Lind and Thomas DiNinno self-produced this new effort, which was under construction for over nine months. They recorded bass, guitar, and drum machine tracks at Portland Community College's studio with electronic percussion expert Shawn Trail. The first of the eleven new tracks to be unveiled is "Self Vortex," which you can find below.
Freak Heat Waves have a batch of tour dates scheduled following the album's release, many with Preoccupations. You can find those at Exclaim. Before those the band's scheduled to appear at the Wavelength winter festival in Toronto on Saturday, February 17 at the Garrison. They're playing a show that also features Odonis Odonis, Tough Age, Kurt Marble, and Luge.

Windsor's Psychic Void has released a new full length titled Terminal Vacation, which finds a menacing middle ground between psych-rock and early hardcore. There's just something so compelling about spacey reverb atop Black Flag riffs. You can, and should, stream the 8-song record over Bandcamp now. The four-piece features vocalist Jesse Knight, guitarist Josh Kaiser, bassist Matty Menard, and drummer Pete Garant. They recorded at Kaiser Sound Productions back in October.

Artoffact Records will release It Will Come To You, the debut full-length from Vancouver four-piece ACTORS on March 9. The band's made the songs "L'appel Du Vide" and "Slaves" available to stream. They're two of ten. The songs demonstrate a slickly produced repurposing of elements from early 80s post-punk and new wave. The press release isn't really reaching when it names Bauhaus and pre-excess U2 as comparisons. Frontman Jason Corbett wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered the band's material at his studio Jacknife Sound. ACTORS finds Corbett backed by Shannon Hemmett on synth, bassist Jahmeel Russell (formerly of Winnipeg noise-rock act KEN mode), and drummer Adam Fink.

Royal Mountain Records will release People Person, the debut album from Montreal indie rock band Everett Bird on February 22. The group recorded with Jace Lasek of The Besnard Lakes. The song "Bucket of Dark Meat" has been released to preview the record. Here's what the group had to say about it:
"Bucket of Dark Meat" was the first song we wrote for the album. The song is about the feeling of anxiety a person gets when it seems like everyone is being more productive than you. On the other end, the song is about suppressing that feeling with things that make you happy.
Listen: Everett Bird - "Bucket of Dark Meat" @ SoundCloud
Exclaim recently ran a piece on the upcoming releases from Victoria's Supreme Echo. The label has a number of archival collections and reissues forthcoming from a host of Canadian rock bands from the 70s and 80s. They include:
Mission of Christ, a thrash metal band that featured a teenage Stephen McBean, who would later form Black Mountain. Kurt Ballou of Converge has remixed the band's late 80s demos at GodCity Studio. They'll be collected as an LP titled Silence In Grave.
The Stiffs' self-titled debut 7" from 1978, which would have been among the city's first punk releases (if not the first), were it actually released.
An obscure 1978 single from Ottawa's Vendetta titled "Modern Rockers"
The 1979 self-titled EP from Vancouver's Wasted Lives, whose members went on to play in U-JERK5, the Modernettes, AKA, and Corsage. Ron Obvious, who recorded many early Vancouver punk acts in `77, has remastered the set.
A vinyl pressing of the 1972 release Tatsi Sound Acetate by the band Triton Warrior, recorded prior to vocalist Joel Cohen joining the group.
All of these records are to feature speciality packaging and limited runs. You can find more at Supreme Echo website. All are expected by April 1st.

Vancouver's caustic "dyke punk stoner skater" duo Spike Girls have posted a video for the song "Bowl Burner" from their five-song EP Emerald Swarm. This is pretty far out in the crust punk realm, so fair warning as it's quite a few notches more abrasive than what I typically share. The video features a live performance filmed by Teo Robinson and skate footage in and around Vancouver filmed by the band last summer.

Andrew Tinkler has sold £5.6 million-worth of shares in Stobart Group.
The London Stock Exchange was informed of the disposal, which will see Mr Tinkler's voting rights fall to 5.91 per cent from 6.93 per cent.
Mr Tinkler was the former chief executive of Stobart Group. He was ousted last year after a bitter boardroom battle that spilled over into the High Court.
He was removed for an alleged breach of contract.
Mr Tinkler and Stobart Group are currently waiting for the judgement of the case.
Last week, Mr Tinkler revealed he had acquired a 12.23 per cent stake in struggling regional airline Flybe.
Just days before that, a consortium led by Virgin Atlantic and Stobart Group, said it was buying Flybe for £2.2 million.
Mr Tinkler said in a statement about the Flybe shares: "My investment in Flybe has nothing to do with the ongoing dispute with Stobart Group board.
The takeover was restructured after Flybe said it had failed to meet the conditions for receiving a promised £20 million bridge loan.
The consortium will now pay £2.8 million to take control of the main trading company Flybe and the online arm Flybe.com in a deal set to complete by February 22.
However, it has been reported that the takeover is under threat of legal action by Flybe's largest shareholder.
Hosking Partners, which owns almost a fifth of Flybe's shares has written to its board and city watchdogs about the deal.
It is not clear what it has taken issue with, as it has declined to comment directly about the complaint, but it is believed it is not happy with the structure of the deal.
Speaking to Sky News, a spokesman said the sales process "has not yielded a favourable outcome for all stakeholders".

Flaming Mad About Risky Chemicals in Baby Products
Jun 2, 2011Charles Margulis
In a paper published last month, Duke University researcher Heather Stapleton and colleagues collected and tested foam from 101 baby products, including changing table pads, nursing pillows, car seats, and others. The research for the first time analyzed baby products for the presence of chemical flame retardants, including chemicals that are banned, known to be toxic, or have never been evaluated for their potential health impacts.
The findings were disturbing: 79% of the products contained toxic or untested flame retardants. Some baby products contained as many as three different chemical flame retardants. And since none of the products pose a fire hazard, these risky chemicals are completely unnecessary in the products that babies are exposed to every day. As CEH's MOMS Project Director Mary Brune told the San Francisco Chronicle, "I can't fathom that sitting in a glider, rocking my daughter or son and nursing them on a pillow poses some imminent fire danger. This should be something we have a choice about."
Among the flame retardant chemicals the study found in baby products were:
Tris, a chemical the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission calls a probable human carcinogen;
TCEP, a chemical the state of California has identified as a probable carcinogen;
PentaBDE, a neurotoxin banned by international treaty and linked to numerous other health problems, including adverse reproductive outcomes, endocrine effects, lowered IQ, and adverse hormonal changes.
Faced with the study results, Dr. Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and a leading expert on toxins told CBS News (see the video, below), "I am concerned about, not only cancer, but reproductive or neurological effects as well."
On the other hand, when they were asked about the study, baby products makers Evenflo and Snuggli said that the study didn't address "exposure or risk." In other words, we're going to keep using these risky, unnecessary chemicals in products used by infants and babies.
To be fair, baby products companies are bound to meet the California standard that requires flame retardants in these products. But instead of sticking their heads in the sand, baby products companies should take the lead in advocating for a sane, health protective standard that allows for safer fire protection without risky chemicals.
That's why we're asking 6 influential baby product companies to take steps to eliminate these flame retardant chemicals, by calling on California authorities to change the state's standards. If you want safer products for infants and babies, take action by sending a letter to baby product manufacturers today!
And if you're looking for safer baby products, check out the Green Science Policy Institute's "Safe Kids Buyer's Guide."

Episode 48: Zoolander 2 review & Top 10 Actor-Director Films (w/ Brigit)
This week the boys welcome back special guest host Brigit to help review Zoolander 2, the Ben Stiller directed sequel to the genuinely funny original from 2001. Does this sequel 15 years in the making hold up? Or is a big ol' bag of butt holes? (Hint: You're gonna need a BIG bag.)
Then Brigit leads off in counting down the best films featuring actors who also directed themselves. And though Zoolander 2 fails to come anywhere near this list, there's debate early as Brigit offers some unexpected choices. But all's well that ends well, as the hosts are in complete agreement about the two best directors who appear in their own work.
Special shot outs to both of our promoted shows this week, as we'll be appearing on them over the next fortnight!

Episode 47: The Oscars Special Vol 1
Dust off the tuxedos, slip into those evening gowns, and don your shiniest pair of shoes because it's Oscar time on The Countdown! Yes the 88th Academy Awards are nigh, and to mark the occasion, Paul and Wayne are taking a look back at the worst decisions the "illustrious" Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have made over the last 40 or so years. Best Pictures, Actors, Actresses as well as an Academy award winning song are called into question, and not at all surprisingly, Paul gets a little hot under the collar regarding the injustices inherent in some of the decisions. Wayne attempts to play peace maker by saying most of the films were "delightful" as often as possible, but does it have a calming effect? Hit play to find out …
Then the guys take a look at seven of the major categories for this year's awards and nominate both what they want to win and what they think will win. Just to make it interesting they agree to stakes on who will get more of the latter choices correct – stakes that will affect a future episode of The Countdown in a significant way!
The boys also premiere a new segment, and of course, such an occasion demands a new opener drawing upon a dodgy old song …

Episode 46: Deadpool review & Top 10 R-Rated Action Films
Do you like comic book films but wish they had a harsher edge? Have you been clamouring for a foul-mouthed anti-hero to take out the trash amid copious amounts of blood-splatter? Well, Paul and Wayne have, and as a result, they this week review the ultra-anticipated Deadpool starring Ryan Reynolds. Are the rumblings true? Is it the greatest comic book film ever? The guys pour over all the details and express their considerable hope that this will pave the way for more R-Rated goodness.
They then turn their attention to one of the toughest countdowns they've ever had to construct: R-rated action films! And whilst it all starts out cordially enough, things take a major turn for the worse as the boys reveal their respective Number Ones. Ladies and gentlemen, this one gets messy!

Episode 45: The Music Extravaganza (w/ Gareth's Random Ramblings)
That special type of Countdown Chaos reigns this week as Paul and Wayne attempt TWO countdowns targeting music and musicians and their role in films. And to help with the first of those countdowns - namely, which non-musician actors offer the best singing performances - the guys call upon Gareth and Bex from Gareth's Random Ramblings podcast to add their lists!
Controversy quickly brews as the guests offer a few picks from so far out of left field even Wayne can't see them from his normal position. These make for much head-scratching, mock offence and, most importantly, plenty of laughs!
Then the guys settle back down to countdown the best films featuring a musician turned actor - and once again things get controversial on a podcast that might have bitten off more than it could chew!
All this AND the guys re-cast The Usual Suspects in their Cool For Cast segment (because that's totally a musical), as well as promos for @FYFCpodcasts http://www.fyfc.ca/ and @thepoopculture http://www.poopculture.com/ - two fantastic #PodernFamily shows you should check out!

Episode 44: Top 10 Last 10 #6
This week the guys settle in to mini-review a wide range of the films they've most recently seen, starting with the worst and ending with the best. Yes it's the sixth volume of the Top 10 Last 10 countdowns.
Can Wayne sit through and enjoy a long movie? Will Paul review too many indie horror films? And which of the guys thinks The Night Before is a good comedy? (Hint: There are no prizes for guessing correctly.) Oh and stick around until the end of the Ep to hear one of the new series of promos we've cut to advertise the show!

"I am confident that my experience with the UCLA/CEILS/CIRTL learning communities, and journal clubs were critical in my attainment of a faculty position at a Hispanic Serving Institution".
What is the CIRTL Network?
The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) is a nation-wide online network of universities that seek to enhance excellence in STEM undergraduate education through development of a national faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices for diverse learners. CIRTL was founded in 2003 as a National Science Foundation Center for Learning and Teaching in higher education. CIRTL uses graduate education as the leverage point to develop a national STEM faculty committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse student audiences as part of successful professional careers. The goal of CIRTL is to improve the STEM learning of all students at every college and university, and thereby to increase the diversity in STEM fields and the STEM literacy of the nation.
UCLA is among 40+ research universities that are CIRTL members, who support the professional and career development of graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and current faculty who are engaged in teaching now, or who are considering academic careers. The goals are to inspire a commitment to use effective teaching practices for diverse college students, and to provide current and future faculty the knowledge and tools to do so. The project was originally funded by the National Science Foundation to support future faculty in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but we have expanded the CIRTL@UCLA mission to include graduate students and post doctoral scholars from all disciplines.
To join the CIRTL online network, take 1 minute to register here.
Follow the CIRTL online network on Twitter here.
UCLA has CIRTL programs built on the CIRTL core ideas: Teaching-as-research, learning communities and learning-through-diversity. Our local learning community offers its own robust schedule of courses, programs, events, internships and resources. In addition, all UCLA graduate students and post docs automatically have access to the CIRTL online network and can participate with our CIRTL partners in a national cross-network learning community.

Q: New Ubuntu Server My Windows Home Server finally died and I rebuild another pc to take it's place. I no longer have the server software so I thought I'd try getting Ubuntu with either Kodi or Emby to stream my movies.
! currently have a primary drive the Ubuntu will live and 2 other hard drives from my windows server with movies only.
Will I be able to plug my old hard drives in and have Emby or Kodi use it to watch and add movies to or are those movies lost? I just don't want to waste my time trying to get the movies working if it's not possible.

A: Short answer: Yes.
To the server, the movies on your drives will be just data. All Windows-readable movie formats are readable by Ubuntu. The Windows filesystem that the movies reside on will be NTFS or FAT, which are also readable and writable by a modern Ubuntu system. Those movies are not lost at all.

The official newsletter of the International Town & Gown Association™ November 30, 2020
Giving Tuesday: A Generosity Movement
While 2020 has certainly been a challenging year, we are thankful during this holiday season for our ITGA family. As an organization, we are committed to assisting you as you rebuild your respective communities. It is vitally important to our town-gown communities, future leaders and ITGA. Your continued dedication to town-gown work and ability to move forward during challenging times demonstrates the resiliency needed to get through 2020, together.
COVID has impacted the ability of some of our members to pay ITGA membership dues and/or to attend our virtual conferences. As a nonprofit organization, we operate on a very lean budget. Therefore, ITGA is asking for your help so that we can continue to provide support to our member institutions and communities and fulfill the mission of ITGA by strengthening town-gown partnerships and sharing leading practices and professional development opportunities for municipalities and institutions of higher education.
On Giving Tuesday, Dec 1st, we are asking for you to consider donating to the ITGA Fund.
As we gear up for another year, we encourage you to continue using the resources available to you through our listserv, monthly webinars, the College Town Resource Center, weekly newsletter and many networking opportunities. We also look forward to hearing about your accomplishments and collaborations at the 2021 ITGA Conference in May.

Julie Emms puts her marketing expertise and communications planning skills to work as chair of ITGA's newly formed Outreach Committee. A new board member, she is director of community relations at DePaul University in Chicago, where she is well networked with colleagues at numerous colleges and universities. "I searched for years for a professional organization where I could connect with others in my field," Julie says. "Once I found ITGA, I wanted to highlight the excellent work being done in the field and educate those outside of our practice area." Julie sees the board's biggest challenges this year as being "of value and service to our members" and helping the organization grow at a time when town-gown practitioners need to share best practices, challenges and solutions.

In Memory and Celebration: The Passing of a Giant
We are saddened by the news that Willie Young Sr., senior director of Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services, has passed away. He will be truly missed!
Willie was a true Buckeye legend. He's been with the university since 1990, and is certainly one of the most beloved people on campus. He never met anyone who wouldn't call him a friend. I am awed and inspired by the legion of people who loved Willie. He leaves a true legacy that will never be forgotten.
Willie's mark on Ohio State isn't so much what he did, but how he did it. He took the time to connect with thousands of students, making sure they knew he was taking a personal interest in their well-being. He spent more hours than you can imagine driving the off-campus area, including in the past weeks, talking to anyone and everyone. And odds are good that he knew, and remembered, the mascot of the high school you attended.
Our hearts go out to his wife, Pam, and family, including his son, Student Life's own WillieYoung Jr.
Willie was a proud double graduate of Bowling Green State University, and often talked about "soaring with the falcons." He is soaring even higher now, and we have all lost a dear friend.
COVID Burnout Resulting in Longer Winter Breaks
Most Canadian post-secondary students have traded lecture halls for laptop screens this fall and, as the pandemic continues, schools are largely staying the course through the next term. However, an increasing number of institutions are now pushing back their start dates in the New Year in recognition of strain felt by students and staff. In Ontario, Western University announced it will delay the start of classes for the winter term, joining the likes of Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Toronto, Laurentian University, Carleton University and McMaster, as well as Quebec schools l'Université du Québec à Montréal, Concordia University and l'Université de Sherbrooke. In recent weeks, there have been widespread student appeals for more downtime following a stressful autumn of predominantly online learning and being isolated from peers and instructors due to COVID-19. CBC
GMU Opens New Center for Retail Transformation
George Mason University School of Business professor Gautham Vadakkepatt knows it's been a rough few years for small- to medium- sized retailers. Even before the pandemic, large companies were dominating the space and squeezing them out. But it's far from a "lost cause" says Vadakkepatt. That's why the business school is launching a new Center for Retail Transformation, with Vadakkepatt, an assistant professor of marketing, as its founding director. The plan to start such a center predates the start of the pandemic, but the ongoing health crisis has only proven that it is needed more than ever, Vadakkepatt said. The center's goal is to provide retailers with research and data-driven forecasts and develop strategies that can help them thrive. It will include internship programs within the industry and develop courses on retail. Down the road, the center plans to partner with retailers, trade associations and local governments.

It's been just over six and a half years since Ben felt the need to let Apricot Pie go, because he no longer had the time to manage it and direct it the way he felt it deserved… and then, after I reached out to him and discussed it for a while, he agreed to pass on the management of it to me rather than let it die.
"I am more busy(er) than ever before. I am now in graduate school studying Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. I am also holding a part-time job in web development. If before I found it difficult to keep up with admitting new members, moderating posts and comments, and reading your writing; now it will be virtually impossible. In all fairness to you and to me, I think it is time to call it quits."
Now, don't panic… I am not closing Apricot Pie! But I must confess to you that I have been in a place in life for the past few years, where I have been just as busy as Ben was in 2010. I have had very little time or energy to do the things that I ought to do, in particular reading your writing and moderating posts and comments, and in general simply interacting with you all. I have not been fair to you all.
In particular, three and a half years ago I attempted to put standards in place for the content of writing. It didn't go over well. I know. And looking back on it, I wish I would have done it differently. I saw a need for course correction, but I basically swooped down and did it suddenly, abruptly… and after (understandably) receiving blow-back for it, I only followed-up half-heartedly, and then did very little to clarify things or enforce (I don't even like using that word) the standards. That left Apricot Pie in a state of ambiguity and confusion. I made it worse by turning a blind eye to things that I knew were wrong to allow, and allowed precedents to become entrenched that I never should have let happen. I did it because it was the easy thing to do.
But that was wrong. I need to apologize to you all for this. I have wronged you all. Even, and in fact, especially to those of you who don't see things the same way I do… I have wronged you. I am sorry. Please, forgive me.
There is still a matter of "standards" that needs to be addressed… but I did it wrong three years ago. I approached it wrong in more than one way… not just the suddenness of it, and the ambiguity in my follow-up (or lack thereof)... but even the real reason that there should be any standards at all.
Oh, there are a lot of things I wish I could do with Apricot Pie, if only I had the time! There are stories I wish I could write, features I wish I could develop (I am a web developer, after all), and most importantly, all the content you write that I wish I had the time to read!
And, I'll have to be honest… I could make some time to read some of what you write. And I hope to do so going forward.
Before I write my next letter, I would like to just say a simple thank you to you all. Thank you for being a part of this site, for making it what it is, for even wanting to write and share your thoughts in the first place. We've been on going for seventeen years now! We're older than Wikipedia, and we're certainly older than Facebook! And hopefully we will continue posting on this site for many years to come.
I hope to post my next letter to you all soon.
I definitely don't feel you have wronged any of us - or, maybe I should just speak for myself and say myself - but I appreciate the letter. That must have taken courage! We look forward to the next one. Thank you so much for keeping our site going!
Hi James, It is so good to have you pop in again. I totally understand your busyness and sad to say that soon I won't be as frequent either as I enter new stage in life this summer.
Thank you for your humility and this letter was very gracious to all of us.
This website is so special because of all the people here and the writing.

j's Journey: Superhero advice for writers
Written on July 17, 2012 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall In my last post, I railed (sweetly, of course) against all the well-intentioned, totally conflicting, ultimately frustrating advice to writers out there. Holy writer's block, Batman, there are more experts in the ether than there are starry-eyed writers to read them. Well, maybe not. I hope not, anyway. I love-love-love starry…

Written on June 8, 2012 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall I remember once upon a time in a conversation with Fear of Writing Maven, Milli Thornton, she told me that she was fed up with blogs telling her how she should go about writing, getting published, building a platform and generally living a creative life. She said she was so done…
j's Journey: Getting personal
Written on May 4, 2012 by Milli Thornton in fear of . . ., j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall When I first decided to take myself seriously as a writer, I was writing fiction. Only fiction. I was in my thirties, in the midst of getting my creative writing degree, writing short stories for workshop classes (which, in hindsight, maybe wasn't the best place to decide to take myself seriously…
j's Journey: Writerly Angst (and who needs it)
Written on April 6, 2012 by Milli Thornton in creativity, inspiration/motivation, j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall Some time ago, a writer I used to read frequently posed this question: "What does the writer have to write about if she's living a frictionless life?" The question seems academic, I know, because who lives a frictionless life, right? It's hard to even imagine. But the writer asking the question…
j's Journey: What kind of writer do you want to be?
Written on March 6, 2012 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey
by Judy Clement Wall Once, in a memoir class called "Writing Women's Lives," I was told by my professor that I needed to decide what kind of writer I wanted to be. I had been writing stories that skimmed along the surface of my life with humility and humor, and little else. My professor told…
j's Journey: On the value of writing groups
Written on January 27, 2012 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall The first writing group I ever joined was (fate-temptingly) named the Writer's Block. Once upon a time, it had been more of a full-fledged organization with membership dues and guest speakers but by the time I joined, they were ten or so people who loved to write, meeting one Thursday night…
j's Journey: In search of the muse
Written on November 29, 2011 by Milli Thornton in inspiration/motivation, j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall I'm a huge fan of bentlily. If you haven't visited her site, you should. Her real name is Samantha. She's a writer and new mom who, instead of making resolutions for 2011, committed to writing a poem every day. Here's what she wrote about her decision: I pledged to write one…
j's Journey: Writing brave
Written on October 25, 2011 by Milli Thornton in fear of writing, j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall I recently read Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir, The Chronology of Water, a book I absolutely loved for its determination to look squarely at the wreckage of a truly broken heart and not make it pretty or poetic or simple. Here is the opening sentence: The day my daughter was stillborn, after I…
j's Journey: Navigating a fluid landscape
Written on September 27, 2011 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey
By Judy Clement Wall It's been a while since I've posted about my novel, BEAUTIFUL LIVES. That's because I haven't been querying agents, and therefore haven't had anything new to report. But since the reasons I haven't been querying are very tangled and logical and neurotic and interesting, I thought I would share them… First,…
j's Journey: Rejection Like Snow
Written on August 23, 2011 by Milli Thornton in j's Journey, writer's block
By Judy Clement Wall As soon as Milli and I decided to expand the j's Journey series to include all aspects of writing for publication, I knew that, at some point, I'd be writing about rejection. There may be writers out there submitting their work who never feel the sting of an editor's "Thank you…

Where do you go when you are looking for love?Where do you go when you are looking for love?
Are you considering joining an online dating site but not sure it's for you?
Let me tell you how I first discovered online dating and why I firmly believe it fits in with our modern day lifestyles.
A couple of years ago online dating still had a stigma attached to it. Although people were using the internet as a method of dating, they did not discuss it with friends or colleagues for fear of coming across desperate.
I recall a friend of mine who was initially embarrassed to tell me she had joined an online dating site. At the time, I was rather surprised as she was an attractive girl who would be considered quite a catch. However, after chatting to her I completely understood why she had resorted to this method of dating; she was simply tired of meeting timewasters who were not interested in committing to a relationship. Whilst she had no desire to date some of the men who contacted her, there were quite a few she was interested in and she began a dating spell to make any "singleton" jealous. She then struck up an online relationship with someone who lived 100 miles from her. After exchanging many emails and chatting on the telephone, she decided to meet him. Obviously, the distance didn't make the relationship ideal but the spark was there and she enjoyed 6 months dating someone with similar interests, shared romantic weekends together and had a fantastic holiday. Although he didn't turn out to be "the one", when I asked if she regretted joining an online dating site her answer was "Definitely not!" Her view was that if she hadn't joined an online dating site, those 6 months would have been spent moaning about meeting the same timewasters in the same old haunts and wondering "what if". She was simply being proactive in her search for love; after all life is far too short!
1. You don't have to wait until the weekend to meet someone.
2. You don't have to get dressed up for a night "online". Wear whatever you feel comfortable in at home.
3. If you work unusual hours online dating fits in with your schedule. You can log on at any time of the day to suit you; there is always someone online waiting to chat.
4. If you start chatting to someone and then decide they are not what you are looking for, put them back in the net gently and choose another. There are plenty of fish in the sea!
5. If you are tired of seeing the same old faces when you go out, there are people of all age groups all across the country waiting online to meet someone.
6. If you are new to an area online dating is a great way of meeting people whether it's for friendship or dating. If you meet a few people online in your area, you can arrange a get together for you all rather than meeting on a one-to-one basis.
7. If all of your friends have settled down or you have recently become single what better way to meet new someone quickly than to go online and meet more singles!
8. Anonymous messaging and chat rooms let you flirt to your heart's content without any embarrassment or getting tongue-tied.
9. You will probably find out more about someone online before you arrange a date with them than you would if you had met them in a bar. Online dating usually makes people more cautious about who they choose to date and in this day and age that can't be a bad thing!
10. We now live and date very differently to previous generations where the traditional place to meet people was in nightclubs, parties, at work or through friends. By joining an online dating site you are not excluding these avenues but simply extending your opportunities of meeting someone.
11. Finally, 1 month's membership costs less than a night out and gives you hundreds of opportunities to meet your perfect partner – every night!
With so many positive reasons to go online for love, finding your perfect partner has never been easier. Try it out for yourself and please let me know how you're doing.

MANCHESTER, N.H. —
Sen. Kamala Harris has moved into second place among Democratic presidential contenders, while Sen. Bernie Sanders has dropped into fifth place, in the latest New Hampshire primary poll conducted by Saint Anselm College.
Harris, apparently still resonating with voters following her debate performance more than two weeks ago, is backed by 17.5 percent of likely Democratic first-in-the-nation primary voters.
