Interesting, considering how much the NFL has almost "siloed" a good chunk of digital - like WWE. #smsportschat @tariq_ahmad
@tariq_ahmad Leagues already offer mobile viewing. It's about access. No cable/satellite required. Pay model can still exist. #smsportschat
A1: The potential move to YouTube is huge for viewers that have cut cable and for mobile viewers. #smsportschat
A1a: Could watch NFL wherever you can get broadband. Huge. Interesting stat: NFL mobile web traffic last year > wired traffic. #smsportschat
@tariq_ahmad Don't forget, Google has it's Chromecast product. Look for some sort of deep integration. #smsportschat
@ClairDogg @tariq_ahmad For Google, more data capture! Easier to label sports fans, diehards, by team, etc. to target w/ ads. #smsportschat
A1 Eventually, access to fan data may outweigh $$ for broadcast rights. Teams/leagues/sponsors should heed. Reward systems? #smsportschat
@tariq_ahmad keeps NFL relevant to younger audience. YouTube demo is college and under. #smsportschat
A1: Potential to be big & change the way NFL is watched. Opens accessibility & reach outside US. #smsportschat
A1: And although this is already happening, could possibly see some great integration with Google Glass if deal does happen #smsportschat
A2: Instagram video is the newest tool for reporters. Already catching on during NFL preseason. Going to be huge. #smsportschat
VES es un acrónimo con doble significado. VES= VES-i (Vinieron, Educaron y Sembraron) y VES-e: (Viajaron, Emigraron y Surgieron). Venezolanos triunfando afuera, y extranjeros venezolanizados triunfando adentro. Historias humanas de la inmigración/emigración en Ciencia y Tecnología en Venezuela.

"La sociedad mundial es hoy una sola entidad entretejida por redes complejas donde el rico es cada vez mas rico, muy pocos nodos dominan todas las conexiones de la red, el pobre –la inmensa mayoría de los nodos – apenas tienen acceso directo a muy pocos otros, su mundo es pequeño, haciéndose mayor la diferencia día tras día.
Los nodos ricos lo son porque detentan conocimientos en forma de destrezas, saber-hacer, tecnologías, visión de conjunto o de futuro, mercados, amistades, e influencia –silenciosa o no– sobre los centros de poder. Los nodos pobres –en conexiones– los son en la práctica por tener el monopolio de una ignorancia creciente en magnitud y escala, cada vez saben menos los más.
La propia dinámica del conocimiento aumenta esa brecha en forma inexorable, presenciamos un cambio de paradigma heurístico del reduccionismo a la síntesis, de soluciones focales hacia sistémicas, de disciplinas aisladas hacia fusiones dispares nunca vistas, del investigador aislado a redes virtuales de práctica, el científico romántico y los grupos de trabajo quedaron atrás. El aumento de la complejidad es abismal, su velocidad centelleante, las interconexiones de la red global tienen un efecto multiplicador fortaleciendo solo los centros de saber, la escasez de conexiones de los nodos pobres les negaría el acceso a la frontera científica, la Internet sería para ellos apenas una ilusión, no entenderían un nuevo lenguaje que se enriquece cada día, ni tendrían como practicarlos por estar aislados, excluidos."
Para los países periféricos al desarrollo de la ciencia y tecnología como Venezuela, los que se fueron pueden llegar a convertirse en grandes aliados y conectores con los nodos del saber que existen en la red mundial del conocimiento del Siglo XXI. Pero eso solo ocurrirá si se logra convertir a la emigración intelectual venezolana se convierte en diáspora intelectual.

For instance, if an income report equates for a company that is certainly better than anticipated, you might contemplate buying a get in touch with option on that businesses stock. Appears to be earnings report comes back even worse than anticipated, you might take into account buying a put option. Things like that will assist you see a much larger success rate with such options. Digital options, just like traditional options, can be obtained on a large number of underlying resources. With stocks and options, indices, commodities and foreign currencies being the most popular assets positioned on which to be able to base your own binary options trades. Nonetheless, unlike classic options these "exotic" options shell out that preset, known returning. And it isn't at all influenced by how far "in-the-money" the actual option is. Should the underlying asset you dealt a digital phone option on is actually higher then the strike price tag by much as one pip/tick then you are paid out exactly the same high returns as if it carried out in the money by simply 100 items. Magnitude is irrelevant with electronic options. Certainly this can be one of the attractive features of trading inside digital options regarding investors. Trade using a platform which provides a return, regardless if the outcome will be out-of-the-money. As bothersome because it comes about when you are supplied with the out-of-the-money effect, you may not loose your whole trade, for an deficiency of consequence like that.

It is possible to achieve earnings of 60% in order to 500% in less than an hour! Maximum payment percentage - Specialist and well-liked digital options agents provide utmost payout percentage to their buyers. One must think about the binary trading platform that may offer lowest 75% to 90% commission percentage for each and every won as well as lost investment.

Oof, damn you, @SalmanRushdie You even beat me at nothing.
Nothing is easy for some of us, @Shteyngart. Maybe you should try... something.
@SalmanRushdie Try "something"? No, thank you. I'm a writer.
You can probably make a career out of nothing, @Shteyngart. You wouldn't be the first. But why be first? After all,that would be something.
@SalmanRushdie Well, to paraphrase the Simpsons: "I've tried nothin'. And I'm all out of ideas."
Sorry, @Shteyngart. I've got nothing for you.

Social media reignites the autism battles with the news that an in-development blood screening test for babies will show the "genetic signature" of autism.
Storified by Ebony Breen · Fri, Aug 23 2013 21:33:47
US scientists have mapped
autism-causing gene networks, allowing them to identify a genetic structure for
the disorder. This gene-structure could be picked up in babies as young as 12
months old with a simple blood test.
Professor Eric Courchesne, a world-leading expert on the neurobiology of autism, and research partner Dr Tizanio Pramparo, spent six years researching prior to the discovery. Prof Courchesne announced the breakthrough in the detection of the genetic “signature” of autism at the Asia-Pacific Autism Conference in Adeliade, on August 8th 2013.
The earlier we can diagnose autism, the earlier treatment can begin. Early intervention can make an enormous... fb.me/2vmK5sP9C
Wow! Here's hoping that this is a solid step in fitting the pieces of autism together! fb.me/1jZrlx9FK
This is going to be great.. In one/two years time we will get a test to identify the risk of a kid to have Autism.... fb.me/P8okD7j9
Kristina Grant, mother of a 4-year-old child with autism, Justin, says that every breakthrough is special. She is adamant that there has been a dramatic improvement in her son’s communication skills since he started an early intervention program. Whilst the latest breakthrough may allow even earlier treatment, it still won’t be accessible to everyone.
As always, the latest installment in the quest for understanding autism has reignited the latent MMR vaccine controversy. In 1998, Andrew Wakefield published a fraudulent research paper in the medical journal The Lancet, stating that autism spectrum disorders were the result of the combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Even though this theory was later discredited, and the media heavily criticized for supporting such fraud, the debate continues for many.
So they discovered autism is found in a genetic signature, not as a cause of vaccines. fb.me/1Q2WpCQn2
Well, what a surprise (sarcasm) MMR isn't responsible for autism or do you think this is another form of cover-up? dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects about 1 in 100 Australians, with boys being affected four to five times more than girls. However, there are fewer than 10 early intervention centers across Queensland and even the experts concede they simply can't cope. "The biggest challenge is resources," speech pathologist Jacinta Costello said.
Jacinta works for AEIOU, one of Queensland's two early intervention providers.
"We have a waiting list. All our centres have a waiting list," she said.
"Any service that's in Queensland has waiting lists and that's really a big indicator that there are not enough services."
Not only do families living with autism struggle accessing correct diagnosis and treatment, but they are also subject to prejudice and hypercriticism. An anonymous letter was recently sent to a 13-year-old autistic boy, demanding that he be euthanized.
The typed, one-page letter was reportedly sent to Brenda Millson last week in reference to her grandson Maxwell Begley, who often spends time at her house in Newcastle, Ontario. It has since spread like wildfire through social media.
