Game Time for Pac-12 Network Across Devices with Adobe Pass ...

We are excited to announce Project Primetime, Adobe?s integrated video technology platform to enable smooth, TV-like experiences for ad-supported videos across Web-connected devices.

Primetime creates a single workflow for premium video publishers and media companies that interconnects Adobe streaming technologies, content protection, analytics and optimization with the recently acquired Auditude?video advertising platform.

By integrating content publishing, advertising, and analytics ? video publishers will be able to give consumers a superior viewing experience through seamless dynamic ad insertion into any content type, whether linear, live or on-demand across Web-connected devices.?Adobe Digital Marketing Suite is integral to Primetime, ensuring that media companies are able to combine consumption and revenue data to increase the relevance of their content and ads.

The Industry Needs Integrated Video Solution to Bring Content and Ad Dollars Online

The adoption of web-enabled devices by consumers over the past few years has been staggering.? Between desktop computers, tablets, smart phones, game consoles, and SmartTVs, consumers have at their fingertips billions of devices that can deliver media experiences over the Internet.

And, advertisers have long shown their desire to reach audiences in engaging experiences like video.? The ?offline? TV advertising market will be $200+ B by 2014.? Within online advertising, advertisers want to shift spending video.? A recent eMarketer report (June 2011) forecasts video growing from about 14% to over 32% of total digital advertising spending by 2015, taking market share from both banner and rich media advertising.

The audience is enabled, the advertiser is interested ? so why is less than 5% of professionally produced content available online?

1. The user experience for audiences viewing video ads today is inferior to television.? I don?t know about you ? but my TV attached to my set top box doesn?t buffer between the programming and the ads.? But, with online video, the processing required to load client heavy advertising plug-ins often triggers that flickering circle. And who wants to wait for an ad to buffer?? No one ? and that?s a problem for viewers, publishers and advertisers alike.

Primetime eliminates the need for heavy advertising plug-ins by moving more of the processing to the cloud, which means no more flickering circles waiting for ads to load, whether you?re on a desktop or mobile device. It feels like what you see on TV, but on any device.

2. Connected devices are fragmented.? My set top box could connect to any TV and playback the same content stream from my PayTV provider.? But online the opposite is true.? Every device platform supports largely different technology ? making it complex and expensive for publishers to build video experiences for every device.? Today, publishers have to make hard tradeoffs on which devices to support ? which reduces their audience size and revenue potential

Primetime enables a single workflow to reach the majority of web-enabled device platforms, whether smartphone, tablet, game console, desktop or SmartTV.

3. Inserting ads into connected devices is hard.?? Connected device platforms have introduced new technologies and workflows for streaming video content ? where ad insertion has not been well defined.? Creating scalable models for inserting ads into connected devices is exacerbated by the lower processing power of connected devices, versus desktop computers.

Primetime enables both server-side and client-side integrations of content and ads that allow for efficient and scalable delivery of monetizable video content.

4. Ad and content analytics are siloed.? Video publishers typically use separate systems (usually from different companies) to measure how their audiences engaged with content from how their audiences engaged with ads.? This impairs visibility into the correlation between audience engagement with content and ad revenue.

Primetime combines site-side analytics from Adobe?s Digital Marketing Suite with ad analytics from Auditude to provide revenue-base analytics used to increase revenue and engagement.

In short ? through an integrated content and advertising workflow and better data-driven monetization, Project Primetime will empower the content and ad ecosystem, which will make it possible for more content to flow online.

Primetime Highlights

As part of the first phase of Primetime, we are showcasing Primetime Highlights, which enables video publishers to create and publish live event highlights, with ads, in minutes.

Event highlights are a great way to show the power of integrating video publishing and advertising.? First, viewers only watch highlights for a few hours after events occur.? If you can?t quickly publish and monetize a highlight, it?s not worth creating it.? Second, user experience really matters with short form content ? viewers are more likely to abandon if there is buffering, etc.

How does it work?? We?ve created a highlight tool that is tightly integrated with the Auditude ad platform.? The highlight tool lets you set the in and out points of the clip, and add metadata like title, genre, etc.? Once you hit publish, the Auditude platform automatically knows that ad inventory is available, and can target ads based on the metadata entered in the highlight tool.? To make this even easier to implement, we are also providing a full video player*.

Here?s a video of how it works:

After acquiring Auditude about three months ago, we are thrilled to be bringing Primetime to market to accelerate online video, starting with Primetime Highlights.? Expect us to be equally aggressive in supporting 24?7 linear, on-demand, and live with more announcements coming throughout 2012.

Check back tomorrow for Jens Loeffler?s take on our Adobe Access support for iOS. ?And, for more insight into our MPEG-DASH announcement, see Kevin Towes? blog post here.

Samsung Plans to Sue Apple if They Release an LTE iPhone

This is a discussion on Samsung Plans to Sue Apple if They Release an LTE iPhone within the Droid News forums, part of the Droid News & Site News category; Samsung's retaliation plans against Apple were revealed earlier today by The Korea Times.

  1. Samsung's retaliation plans against Apple were revealed earlier today by The Korea Times. According to the Korean publication, Samsung "confirmed that it will immediately sue Apple if the latter releases products using advanced long-term evolution (LTE) mobile technology". Apple has already released an LTE ready tablet with their newest iPad, but it appears that Samsung is waiting until Apple releases an LTE iPhone before seeking injunction using their vast LTE patent portfolio. Earlier this year, research firm iRunway reported that Samsung held 10% of LTE patents issued, which gives them a fighting chance. As always we will keep you updated, but until then let us know what you think in the forums.

Insight - Neuroscience in court: My brain made me do it

LONDON (Reuters) - He was once a respected pediatrician, loved by patients and their parents for over 30 years. Now Domenico Mattiello faces trial for pedophilia, accused of making sexual advances towards little girls in his care.

Scientific experts will argue in court that his damaged brain made him do it, and his lawyers will ask for leniency.

It's the latest example of how neuroscience - the science of the brain and how it works - is taking the stand and beginning to challenge society's notions of crime and punishment.

The issue has been thrown into the spotlight by new technologies, like structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scans and DNA analysis, that can help pinpoint the biological basis of mental disorders.

A series of recent studies has established that psychopathic rapists and murderers have distinct brain structures that show up when their heads are scanned using MRI.

And in the United States, two companies, one called No Lie MRI and another called Cephos Corp, are advertising lie-detection services using fMRI to lawyers and prosecutors.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

While structural MRI scans show the structure of a brain and can highlight differences between one brain and another, PET and fMRI scans can also show the brain in action, lighting up at particular points when the brain engages in certain tasks.

But the dazzling new technologies and detailed genetic data leave unanswered the issue of whether criminal courts are the right place to use this new information.

"The worry is that the law, or at least some judges, might be so overawed by the technology that they start essentially delegating the decision about guilt to a particular form of test," says Colin Blakemore, a professor of neuroscience at Oxford University.

The lawyers for American serial killer Brian Dugan, who was facing execution in Illinois after pleading guilty to raping and killing a 10-year-old girl, used scans of his brain activity to argue he had mental malfunctions and should be spared the death penalty. In the event, Illinois abolished capital punishment while he was on death row.

In a court in the Indian city of Mumbai, a woman was convicted of murder based only on circumstantial evidence and a so-called brain electrical oscillations signature profiling (BEOS) test, the results of which prosecutors said suggested she was guilty.

The days when mental capacity for crime is argued over by psychiatrists unaided by sophisticated machinery - such as Friday's verdict that Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik was sane when he killed 77 people - look numbered.

"All sorts of types of neuroscience evidence are being used for all sorts of types of claims," says Teneille Brown, a professor of law at the University of Utah. "The question is, is this technology really ready for prime time, or is it being abused?"

"ACQUIRED PAEDOPHILIA"

In Mattiello's case, the neuroscientific evidence will come in the form of a full psychiatric and biological analysis including an MRI brain scan that shows a roughly 4 centimeter tumor growing at the base of his brain.

This created pressure inside his skull and "altered his behavior", says Pietro Pietrini, a molecular geneticist and psychiatrist at Italy's University of Pisa who is compiling an expert report on the 65-year-old.

"His previous behavior was completely normal," Pietrini told Reuters. "He was a pediatrician for 30 something years and he saw tens of thousands of children and never had any problem. The question is why, at some point, did someone who has always behaved properly suddenly change so drastically?"

The doctor was arrested in Vicenza, northern Italy, more than a year ago and is undergoing cancer treatment after having the tumor removed. Pietrini is due to see him again next month to continue his assessment and see the effects of the treatment.

The case, which has yet go to court, is strikingly similar to another of "acquired pedophilia" dating back to 2002, in which a 40-year-old married American schoolteacher suddenly became obsessed with sex and began secretly to collect child pornography.

He was eventually removed from the family home for making sexual advances towards his step-daughter and convicted of pedophilia. But later medical examinations found he had an egg-sized tumor in a part of the brain involved in decision-making.

When the tumor was removed, the man recovered from his pedophilic tendencies and was able to return to his family.

Experts are generally agreed that conditions like psychopathy and pedophilia can't be "cured", but in this groundbreaking case it appeared that removing the tumor, and hence the pressure in the brain, may have re-established his ability to control impulses.

As in that case, Pietrini said he and colleague Giuseppe Sartori of Padua University believed Mattiello's tumor "may well have played a role in altering his behavior".

"This is what we will be arguing," Pietrini said. "But of course it will be for the judge to determine to what extent he believes this medical condition played a role."

Oxford's Blakemore, one of the world's leading thinkers in this field, says such cases are "startling".

"It makes one wonder about the notion of responsibility," he said in an interview.

IS "MY BRAIN MADE ME DO IT" A DEFENCE?

And when it comes to prison, should pedophiles, psychopaths and other violent criminals be punished less severely if their behavior can be blamed on biology? Is "my brain made me do it" a defense that warrants recognition with lighter sentences, or even no jail time at all?

"(It) raises the whole issue of what you think sentencing is for," says Blakemore. "Is it about punishment? Is it about retribution? Is it about remediation and rehabilitation? Is it about protecting society? Well, to some extent it's about all of those things."

Recent evidence - from both real and hypothetical cases - suggests judges are sympathetic to neurobiological evidence as mitigation.

A study published in the journal Science this month showed that criminal psychopaths in the United States whose lawyers provide biological evidence for their brain condition are more likely to be sentenced to shorter jail terms than those who are simply said to be psychopaths.

For the study, researchers at the University of Utah tweaked the real-life case of Stephen Mobley, a 39-year-old American who was sentenced to death in 1994 after robbing a Domino's pizza place in Georgia and shooting dead the restaurant's manager.

At his trial, Mobley's lawyer presented evidence in mitigation showing the accused had a variant of a gene called MAO-A that has been dubbed the "warrior" gene after scientists found it was linked to violent behavior.

AGGRESSIVE GENES

In the Science study, judges were given a hypothetical case loosely based on Mobley's, where the crime was a savage beating with a gun, rather than a fatal shooting.

All the judges were told the defendant was a psychopath, but only half were given expert testimony on the genetic and neurobiological causes of his psychopathy. Those who got the neuroscientific evidence were more likely to give a shorter sentence - generally about a year less, the study found.

Pietrini worked on a similar real-life case in Italy in 2009 - thought to be one of the first criminal cases in Europe to use this type of neuroscientific evidence.

It involved Abdelmalek Bayout, an Algerian living in Italy, who was tried and convicted for fatally stabbing a man who teased him in the street.

After conducting a series of tests on the Algerian, Pietrini and colleagues said they had found abnormalities in imaging scans of his brain, and in five genes that have been linked to violent behavior ? including MAO-A.

A 2002 study led by researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London linked low levels of MAO-A with aggressiveness and criminal behavior in boys who were raised in abusive environments.

Bayout's lawyers got his sentence reduced by arguing that this and other bad genes had affected his brain and were partly to blame for the attack.

WHERE WILL IT END?

Experts say it's almost inevitable that neuroscience and law will become yet more intertwined. After all, while neuroscience seeks to find out how the brain functions and affects behavior, the law's main concern is with regulating behavior.

Yet many are uneasy about the use in courts of law - and in matters of life and death - of basic science that is only just creeping out of the lab.

Observers such as Hank Greely, a professor of law at Stanford University, point out that no scientific peer-reviewed studies have been published demonstrating that BEOS - the brain test used in the Mumbai case - actually works.

Others stress that while genes like MAO-A have been associated with violence, there are also plenty of people with similar genotypes who don't go out and kill, rape or abuse.

"Neuroscience is being used by serious scientists in real labs, but the people trying to apply it in courts are not those same people," says Utah's Brown. "So they're taking something that looks very objective, that looks like gold standard science, but then morphing it into a forensic use it wasn't developed for.

"This isn't snake-oil science. It's real science. But it's being misapplied."

Seena Fazel, a clinical senior lecturer in forensic psychiatry at Oxford University, says he's uncomfortable with the long-term implications and wonders where it will end.

There are already known biological bases for many brain disorders criminals suffer from, including drug addiction, alcoholism and antisocial personality disorder, which is thought to affect up to half of all those in prison.

"If psychopathy reduces your sentence because it has a biological basis, why shouldn't these other more common conditions also result in reduced sentences? The problem here is where do we draw the line?"

    Haitians living in a tent camp walk in the rain August 25, 2012 as Tropical Storm Isaac barrels through Port-Au-Prince. Forecasters earlier said Isaac was near hurricane strength when the eye of the storm passed over Haiti, where hundreds of thousands of people are still living in squalid, makeshift camps following a catastrophic 2010 earthquake. An eight-year-old Haitian girl died when a wall collapsed at her home and a 51-year-old woman died when her roof collapsed, according to officials, who later said two other people had died in the storm. Haiti was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere even before the earthquake killed 250,000 people, and 400,000 citizens are still living in tent camps in and around the devastated capital Port-au-Prince. More than 3,300 families had been evacuated to temporary shelters ahead of Isaac as aid groups provided clean water and hygiene kits to try to limit the risk of contaminated water and the spread of disease.

Isaac was packing 80 mph winds, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It came ashore early Tuesday near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf. The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with the its erratic history.

    Ohio Auto Insurance Coverage | Cleveland Personal Injury Attorney ...

    Having the right insurance coverage can make a significant difference in the recovery of damages if you are involved in a car accident inOhio. There is no guarantee that the other driver has enough coverage or any at all.

    However, you should seek legal help from aClevelandpersonal injury attorney if someone else?s negligence was the cause of your accident. You could receive compensation for serious injuries you sustained as a result of the accident.

    Overview of Uninsured Motorist Coverage

    To save money, motorists may opt to take the minimum amount of insurance required by their state. However, you may better protect yourself and your assets by getting more than what is required.

    How will you pay for your medical expenses and other damages if you are seriously injured in an accident with a driver who doesn?t have insurance? Or what if you sustain severe injuries in a hit and run?

    Uninsured motorist coverage can help address your financial losses and more. This could include medical costs, lost earnings, or other out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident and injuries.

    In addition, it may cover non-financial damages such as pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, disability, and more. An accident doesn?t just affect a victim?s pocketbook; it may have dire consequences that go far beyond.

    This not only covers you, but members of your family and passengers in your vehicle. It even applies to situations in which you are a pedestrian, motorcyclist, or bicyclist and are injured by an uninsured driver.

    Overview of Underinsured Motorist Coverage

    Underinsured motorist coverage provides coverage in the event the other driver has insurance, but it isn?t enough to cover damages. It will generally cover the difference between the other driver?s coverage limit and yours.

    So, if the other driver?s limit was $30,000 and your limit was $50,000, you could receive the difference. However, this would only apply if your damages were at least $50,000. If they were only $40,000, then you would be entitled to a difference of $10,000.

    Even if the other driver has insurance, it may not be enough to protect you. Your medical expenses can add up quickly, especially if you are dealing with expenses related to hospitalization, surgery, follow-up visits, and other medical care.

    Although the state ofOhiodoesn?t require you to carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, you should still purchase the highest amounts that you can afford. It is usually not very expensive and well worth it, especially if you find yourself in a situation where you have been seriously injured.

    Like uninsured coverage, underinsured coverage also helps cover not only your medical expenses, but also other costs as well. For instance, if your injuries prevent you from working for several months, lost earnings may be recoverable.

    What?s more, if you have suffered other damages, physical or psychological, additional compensation may be available. You may also be able to pursue a claim against the other driver if they were at fault for the accident.

    Seeking Legal Help from a Cleveland Personal Injury Attorney

    Insurance coverage is important, but it?s not the only way to recover damages. If the other driver was negligent and caused you to sustain serious injuries, you may also be able to pursue legal action through a claim.

    To learn if you have a legitimate claim, contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. It is important to make sure that your case is handled promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

    The attorney team at Mellino Robenalt LLC offers specialized medical knowledge, exceptional trial skills, and superior negotiating talent in pursuit of fair compensation for clients. Do you want to learn more about how they can help you? Contact them today for a free consultation at 440-330-3800.

    Biologists create first predictive computational model of gene networks that control development of sea-urchin embryos

    ScienceDaily (Aug. 29, 2012) ? As an animal develops from an embryo, its cells take diverse paths, eventually forming different body parts -- muscles, bones, heart. In order for each cell to know what to do during development, it follows a genetic blueprint, which consists of complex webs of interacting genes called gene regulatory networks.

    Biologists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have spent the last decade or so detailing how these gene networks control development in sea-urchin embryos. Now, for the first time, they have built a computational model of one of these networks.

    This model, the scientists say, does a remarkably good job of calculating what these networks do to control the fates of different cells in the early stages of sea-urchin development -- confirming that the interactions among a few dozen genes suffice to tell an embryo how to start the development of different body parts in their respective spatial locations. The model is also a powerful tool for understanding gene regulatory networks in a way not previously possible, allowing scientists to better study the genetic bases of both development and evolution.

    "We have never had the opportunity to explore the significance of these networks before," says Eric Davidson, the Norman Chandler Professor of Cell Biology at Caltech. "The results are amazing to us."

    The researchers described their computer model in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that appeared as an advance online publication on August 27.

    The model encompasses the gene regulatory network that controls the first 30 hours of the development of endomesoderm cells, which eventually form the embryo's gut, skeleton, muscles, and immune system. This network -- so far the most extensively analyzed developmental gene regulatory network of any animal organism -- consists of about 50 regulatory genes that turn one another on and off.

    To create the model, the researchers distilled everything they knew about the network into a series of logical statements that a computer could understand. "We translated all of our biological knowledge into very simple Boolean statements," explains Isabelle Peter, a senior research fellow and the first author of the paper. In other words, the researchers represented the network as a series of if-then statements that determine whether certain genes in different cells are on or off (i.e., if gene A is on, then genes B and C will turn off).

    By computing the results of each sequence hour by hour, the model determines when and where in the embryo each gene is on and off. Comparing the computed results with experiments, the researchers found that the model reproduced the data almost exactly. "It works surprisingly well," Peter says.

    Some details about the network may still be uncovered, the researchers say, but the fact that the model mirrors a real embryo so well shows that biologists have indeed identified almost all of the genes that are necessary to control these particular developmental processes. The model is accurate enough that the researchers can tweak specific parts -- for example, suppress a particular gene -- and get computed results that match those of previous experiments.

    Allowing biologists to do these kinds of virtual experiments is precisely how computer models can be powerful tools, Peter says. Gene regulatory networks are so complex that it is almost impossible for a person to fully understand the role of each gene without the help of a computational model, which can reveal how the networks function in unprecedented detail.

    Studying gene regulatory networks with models may also offer new insights into the evolutionary origins of species. By comparing the gene regulatory networks of different species, biologists can probe how they branched off from common ancestors at the genetic level.

    So far, the researchers have only modeled one gene regulatory network, but their goal is to model the networks responsible for every part of a sea-urchin embryo, to build a model that covers not just the first 30 hours of a sea urchin's life but its entire embryonic development. Now that this modeling approach has been proven effective, Davidson says, creating a complete model is just a matter of time, effort, and resources.

    The title of the PNAS paper is "Predictive computation of genomic logic processing functions in embryonic development." In addition to Peter and Davidson, the other author on the PNAS paper is Emmanuel Faure, a former Caltech postdoctoral scholar who is now at the ?cole Polytechnique in France. This work was supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
