Binge-viewing is surely one of the most notable cultural phenomena of the past few years. Barely registering as a concept less than 3 years ago, many recent research reports now cite binge-viewing as having been adopted - if not regularly practiced - by a majority of TV viewers (examples here, here, here, here, here, here).
The shift toward binge-viewing has immense implications for the TV and video industries, touching everything from the creative process to programming/distribution decisions to monetization approaches. Some companies are fully embracing binge-viewing and riding its wave, while others are taking a more cautious approach.
Stepping back though, how exactly did binge-viewing become such a cultural phenomenon? I believe there are at least 5 key contributing factors, with the relationships among them creating a perfect storm of growth.

I'm pleased to present the 227th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
This week we dig into the Turner-Comcast deal from earlier this week, under which Turner is providing past seasons' and full current season's episodes to some of its most popular programs to Comcast for viewing on VOD and TV Everywhere. As I wrote earlier this week, a key enabler of the deal is Turner's ability to dynamically insert ads in the on-demand streams.
Colin and I agree that, to the extent the deal becomes a template for others, it could have a wide-ranging impact on the ecosystem. To date, Netflix and other OTT providers have been able to aggregate huge libraries of past seasons' episodes, which have fueled binge-viewing.
But as advertising in VOD/TVE grows and improves, it could become the financial foundation for operators to gain far greater content rights. That in turn could change the negotiating balance for content and perceptions of pay-TV operators. Colin and I explain what could be ahead.

Turner Broadcasting will provide Comcast with VOD and TV Everywhere access for some of its most popular programs across all of its cable networks, under a deal announced this morning. A significant aspect of the deal is that it gives Comcast rights not only to past seasons' episodes, but also to all current season episodes - what's known as "stacking rights." The deal is a big win for Comcast and also underscores the emergence of dynamic ad insertion in VOD/TVE streams as an important new revenue driver.

The traditional narrative around online/over-the-top video is that it will incent cord-cutting and cord-nevering. But now, in a twist, instead of a looming battle between OTT and pay-TV, it could well be that we're on the brink of a new era of cooperation between the two, which could have profound implications for everyone in the video ecosystem.
Stepping back for a moment, pay-TV operators have always been in the business of improving the delivery of available video and packaging it into bundles. Initially operators distributed broadcast channels and then in the 70's and 80's, with the advent of satellite delivery, operators began bundling "cable" channels as well (e.g. ESPN, MTV, CNN, USA, etc.).

I'm pleased to present the 224th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. This was an unusually busy week with many industry announcements, so today's format is a roundup discussion of four items that seemed most significant to us.
First up is HBO's exclusive new licensing deal with Amazon, which is the latest evidence of the surging value of high-quality content libraries. Second is Apple's reveal that it has sold 20 million Apple TVs to date, making it more than just a "hobby." Next, we turn to Netflix, which reported stellar Q1 results earlier this week. Finally, we look at Comcast's Q1 and Time Warner Cable's Q1 results. Both companies reported healthier video subscriber numbers (though Verizon reported a much smaller quarter for FiOS video subscribers). The question still looms how meaningful cord-cutting is in reality.
(Note, we had major technical issues with Skype this week, so in the last one-third of the podcast I sound like I'm in a fish tank. Apologies in advance.)

I'm pleased to present the 223rd edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. This week we dig into the strong performance of Comcast's recently concluded 2nd annual "Watchathon" on-demand week and more broadly, how viewing behaviors on linear, on-demand and OTT are becoming intertwined.
Comcast revealed that Watchathon week drove 61 million views and 50 million hours watched, with "Game of Thrones," "The Walking Dead" and "The Good Wife" topping the list of most popular shows. Of note was the increase in live ratings for shows that were available on Watchathon. For example, Game of Thrones' season 4 premiere was up 17% in Comcast homes, "The Mindy Project" was up 83%, "Archer" was up 78%, "Parks and Recreation" was up 49%, etc.
Colin and I discuss how this appears to support the idea that allowing easy catching-up via on-demand can be an effective tactic for networks (and pay-TV operators) to drive audience to live viewing. In fact, in a prior survey Comcast did, it found that 82% of U.S. adults are binge-viewing now, with 55% saying they preferred to do so with current season programs. By enabling both, Comcast seems to be finding a sweet spot.
One other related data point we found interesting was from Rentrak, which said fully 66% of viewing of broadcast primetime programs on demand occurred after the C3 window. By Colin's calculations, that could mean for certain shows, 20% or more of total audience isn't being counted for advertisers today.

Signs of online video's growth and vibrancy are everywhere these days, but certain startup content providers still believe the surest road to success is by landing old school distribution (or "carriage") deals with large pay-TV operators. That was the message at last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger from Jamie Bosworth, Chairman and CEO of golf lifestyle focused Back9 Network.
When asked at the hearing why Back9 Network couldn't just operate as an online video service, Bosworth said that "while online viewership is increasing, the average American still watches 20 times more video content via television and the advertising rates mirror that as well." Bosworth's issue is that because Comcast's NBC Sports group owns and distributes Golf Channel, the big cable operator has little incentive to add another golf-oriented network. Further, if the TWC merger were approved, it would stifle TV competition to a vast part of the American population.

I'm pleased to present the 220th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. First up, we discuss the WSJ report from earlier this week that Apple and Comcast may be collaborating in some way to deliver video through a "managed service" from Comcast. Neither Colin nor I can understand why Comcast would enable anything in its territory that would be remotely competitive with its own video services, but since the WSJ was thin on details, we don't know enough yet to fully judge.
We're also dubious about the fit for Apple given the company's emphasis on global scale for its products and also its premium positioning. And we're both struck by the regulatory red flags a "managed service" would raise for Comcast, at the very time they're trying to gain approval for the TWC deal. More of my thoughts are here.
We then turn quickly to Aereo's Supreme Court filing this week. As expected, it paints the case as being about cloud services in general, not just copyright specifically. We agree it's a clever strategy that positions Aereo as pro-innovation and pro-consumer, making it harder for the Supreme Court to rule against Aereo this summer.

The Wall Street Journal reported last night that Apple and Comcast are discussing a partnership for Apple to launch a streaming TV, VOD and DVR service, including dedicated Comcast bandwidth (a "managed service" as opposed to one delivered with typical "best efforts").
On the surface, it's a sexy-sounding deal, especially for those who have long-harbored a vision of Apple moving beyond its modest Apple TV device. However, scratch the surface just a little and you'll quickly find many reasons to be skeptical anything will result. Here are my top 5 (I'm sure there are others as well):
Categories: Broadband ISPs, Cable TV Operators, Devices
The 17 largest broadband ISPs in the U.S. added over 2.6 million subscribers in 2013, down almost 105K vs. the approximately 2.7 million subscribers they added in 2012. These ISPs now have 84.3 million subscribers, with cable TV operator ISPs having 49.3 million (58%) and telco ISPs having 35 million (42%). The data comes from Leichtman Research Group.

I'm pleased to present the 218th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. Both of us have continued to observe signs of how online video is coming of age, and today we discuss some of them.
We start with news that Comcast will begin selling episodes of "House of Cards" in its Xfinity online store. Putting aside the question of why someone would buy an episode for $1.99 when they could binge-view all 26 episodes in a month for $7.99, both of us thought it's noteworthy that the largest cable operator believes an online-only series is worth selling (and note too, the deal was done with Sony Pictures, and that Verizon also has been selling the series).
Then there was the report that Disney might acquire Maker Studios, a pure-play online video / YouTube content provider. While Colin and I get a chuckle out of the idea that the Disney flag could fly over Epic Rap Battles and PewDiePie, we agree it would be a smart bet to gain reach into the all-important millennial segment.
Then we turn to the $18 million investment by Warner Bros. in Machinima, an online video gamer-centric content creator also targeting millennials. The 2 companies already had a successful collaboration with the "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" web series. No doubt the new investment will spur more gamer-centric originals for distribution by Warner Bros.
We wrap up by discussing just how important millennials are to the video's future. Recent data suggest this group is still pretty glued into the pay-TV ecosystem, but their behaviors are changing fast, in turn leading established media companies to focus on online video more than ever.

Do millennials want pay-TV or don't they? This is one of the most hotly-debated topics in the video industry today. The "don't" camp is well-represented by Charlie Ergen, head of DISH Network, who recently said, "We're losing a whole generation of individuals who aren't going to buy into that model because they only want one particular show or they want to watch the show wherever they can or they want to watch it on their schedule and so that generation is not signing up to satellite or cable or phone video today."
Last week, Ergen and DISH took an important step toward re-imagining pay-TV to make it more relevant to millennials by securing OTT distribution rights to key Disney/ESPN channels. Bloomberg reported that a new OTT service from DISH could sell for $20-30/month, far less than today's typical pay-TV bundle. BTIG's Rich Greenfield subsequently fleshed out what a new lower-priced personal subscription service or "PSS" could look like: a limited access one-stream-at-a-time model geared to single-adults or light TV viewers.

Comcast has acquired video ad manager FreeWheel for $375 million cash, validating reports that have been circulating since the weekend, but at a higher valuation than rumored. The deal is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in a couple of weeks. FreeWheel will become an independent operating subsidiary within Comcast, comparable to how thePlatform and STRATA, two prior Comcast acquisitions, function. FreeWheel's 3 co-founders, Doug Knopper, Jon Heller and Diane Yu have signed multi-year employment agreements.

I'm pleased to present the 216th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. In today's podcast, we first discuss Disney Movies Anywhere, which launched this week. Both of us like it a lot (more of my take here). Colin believes it could also become a huge threat to UltraViolet if one other major studio were to adopt Disney's KeyChest technology.
Then we turn our attention to the Netflix-Comcast interconnection agreement, which has taken on a life of its own this week. It's rare when Colin and I see the world completely differently, but in this case, we do. Colin believes the deal sets a dangerous precedent because Netflix is being provided "extraordinary access" to Comcast's network and also that, going forward, if a content provider wants to get good performance on Comcast's network, it would have to do a deal with Comcast.
I don't see it this way. As I wrote earlier this week, the deal strikes me as business as usual, with the joint press release specifically saying "Netflix receives no preferential network treatment." Netflix made a business decision to negotiate directly with Comcast and manage/deliver their content themselves rather than work through a CDN which is what the vast majority of content providers do. This path obviously made sense for Netflix, but remember, it's in a somewhat unique situation because it accounts for 1/3 of all Internet traffic at certain times.
Because Netflix and Comcast said so little about the deal themselves, and because there is so much suspicion of Comcast (and other broadband ISPs) regarding net neutrality, market power, etc., a lot more has been read into this deal than I believe is warranted.
Colin and I have a very vigorous debate on these issues and ultimately agree to disagree :-)

There's lots of ink being spilled about yesterday's Netflix-Comcast interconnection agreement with some saying this is basically just "business as usual," while others are proclaiming that this is the "end of the Internet as we know it" and "evidence that net neutrality is required."
I'm not a network engineer, but since I've worked in the space long enough, I know enough to be dangerous. And from my vantage point, it seems like this is an appropriate, market-driven solution to a problem that is somewhat unique to Netflix, which now drives around 30% of the Internet's traffic during primetime hours.

Since Comcast announced its plan to acquire Time Warner Cable, there have been a number of articles about how broadband is really the main driver of the deal. No doubt broadband is very important, but Comcast still believes there's a lot of life left in its video service. To that end, the company has invested heavily in its X1 set-top box platform.
X1 is a hybrid box, delivering video via traditional "QAM" technology, while including a guide and other interactivity/content via web-based IP technology. Comcast said that X1 played a significant role in Comcast adding subscribers in Q4 '13, for the first time in 6+ years.
I've had an X1 since July, 2012, and to give a sense of its potential, I've shot an 11-minute demo of how X1 handles the NBC Olympics "Live Extra" authenticated app which is tightly integrated with its Xfinity on Demand service for highlights. First, for a little context, I show how "Live Extra" and the NBC Olympics apps work on an iPad.

I'm pleased to present the 214th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia. Note the interesting coincidence that we're publishing our 214th podcast on 2-14-14; hopefully it's some sort of good omen :-)
In today's podcast Colin and I parse the $45 billion Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, announced yesterday. As I wrote, I see the deal as all about helping Comcast achieve further scale that is required in order to succeed in today's video environment. Colin notes that after TWC's bruising battle with CBS, during which it lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers, the merger will shift some power away from broadcast and cable networks.
We also discuss regulatory issues, net neutrality, the companies' bet that cord-cutting won't accelerate any time soon and lots more. There are many angles to the merger, which we'll continue discussing as the merger review unfolds.

It looks like Apple will be the first casualty of the Comcast-TWC deal. Just yesterday Bloomberg reported that Apple was negotiating with TWC for it to become the first pay-TV operator to make its programming accessible in a new, upgraded Apple TV device. Assuming the report is accurate (and who knows, given the spin game TWC was playing to rebuff Charter's bid), it's pretty fair to say that Comcast will have no interest in Apple getting its nose under the TWC tent.

Comcast has announced that it will acquire Time Warner Cable in an all-stock transaction valued at $45.2 billion. Comcast is already the biggest video and broadband provider in the U.S. and will now get even bigger, assuming the deal is approved. Comcast has committed to divest around 3 million of TWC's video subscribers to stay below 30% of the total U.S. pay-TV market, so the combined company would have approximately 30M video subscribers. Broadband subscribers would be a little less than 30M.
For me, the big takeaway from the deal is that in the broadband era, scale matters a lot - and to compete effectively, a company simply has to have it. Nearly ubiquitous broadband and wireless connectivity, plus massive proliferation of devices, have enabled online-only players to have easy access to massive global audiences. This context has helped fuel the rise of companies including Google, Facebook, Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, Twitter and many others. With innovative services and solid execution, it's now possible to create huge businesses quicker than ever.

I'm pleased to present the 212th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
Earlier this week, Roku CEO and founder Anthony Wood, who I interviewed at NATPE, described his long-term vision for Roku to replace pay-TV operators' set-top boxes. Anthony believes that as online video apps become more prevalent, and pay-TV operators want to seamlessly offer them, the logistics for doing so will be so complex, that alternative approaches like using Roku, will become more attractive. Colin and I debate the pros and cons of this vision.
Then Colin walks us through Comcast's stellar Q4 '13 results, announced earlier this week. Of particular note, Comcast added video subscribers in the quarter, the first time in over 6 years. Colin has crunched the numbers and concludes that Comcast will likely have more broadband subscribers than video subscribers by mid-to-late 2014, a stunning development. We explore what this means.

[22] Filed: Nov. 14, 1972 2 1 App]. No.: 306,403
[52] 11.8. CI 135/4 R Primary Examiner-Jordan Franklin Assistant Examiner-Conrad L. Berman Attorney, Agent,
or FirmEdwards, Spangler, Wymore & Klaas May 14, 1974 [57] ABSTRACT This invention relates to a collapsible tent structure in which both sidewalls, the rear wall and top are supported by nearly identical subframe assemblies, each of which has a length of stretchable cord fastening the ends of its jointed diagonally extending struts together. The struts of each subframe assembly are pivotally at tached at their adjacent ends to a stop-forming connector at the intersection of the diagonals for foldable movement in one direction into side-by-side relation with one another while such connector limits their unfolded position to one in which they bear an angular relation of over 180 and less than approximately 220 to one another which position is maintained by the tension in the stretchable cord interconnecting the remote ends thereof. The cord preferably is reeved through marginal hems bordering the frame-supported walls thus defining a unitary foldable tent assembly. The frame itself comprises the four more or less identically constructed subframe assemblies pivotally interconnected to one another at their common corners together with the connectors for accomplishing the latter.
12 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures PMEWEMY M W SHEET 2 OF 2 Fig- 6 COLLAPSIBLE TENT AND FRANE THEREFOR Tents of one kind or another are almost as old as recorded history and many are still in use today. The size, style and construction vary widely depending upon the use to be made of the structure, how it is to be transported from place to place, the type of climatic conditions it must withstand and, of course, whether human beings are to live in it or whether it is merely a temporary shelter. It is the latter type of tent to which the instant invention relates, namely, one thatprovides temporary shelter from the elements while carrying out certain tasks under its protection. More specifically, the tent forming the subject matter hereof is designed especially to answer the needs of public utilities service personnel when working at ground level or in underground installations' where the entrance thereto through a manhole must be sheltered. Obviously, as the description proceeds it will become apparent that the utility of the tent is, by no means, restricted to this application; however, it was with these particular needs in mind that it was designed.
A tent of this type neednt be particularly lightweight as long as a man can lift it easily enough to stow it away by himself in the vehicle that i's used to take both him and the tent from place to place. On the other hand, bulk is a significant factor and a properly-designed unit should stow'eas'ily in one of the compartments of a utility truck provided for such equipment, many of which tend to take the form'of large or deep pigeonholes. The weather conditions it must withstand are also much less severe than those a mountain tent, for example, must be able to take and no provision need be made for fastening it down except under extreme circumstances where a few heavy objects placed along its skirt will usually suffice.
There are, however, quite a number of other design criteria that must be met if the tent is to fulfill its in tended function. Among these are an unobstructed working area of sufficient size to accommodate at least two workmen and, perhaps, an occasional third one. No tent with a floor in it or even one with a centerpole can, of course, be used for this purpose.
Ruggedness is also of prime importance as these tents are used over and over again under adverse conditions such that the usual camping tent would quickly fail. All sorts of tools including such things as hot blow torches will frequently come into contact with its skin and it must be capable of withstanding all but the grossest abuse.
Of all these, perhaps the most important is the requirement that the tent be very easy and fast to both set up and take down. Highly skilled and equally highly paid service personnel must not have to waste their valuable time in erecting or dismantling a complicated temporary shelter which, at most, will stay up for a few hours. Along this same line, no special training or experience must be required to operate a properly designed ground tent of this type and, preferably, the
manner in which it is put up and .taken down should be obvious to one of ordinary skill just from looking at it..
with an inventory of parts to be sure they have everything. If the frame stays a unitary assembly at all times and the skin remains attached to the frame, such a requirement will be amply met.
It has now been found in accordance with the teaching of the instant invention that these and other worthwhile objectives can, in fact, be realized through the use of a simple, yet novel, subframe assembly as the basic building block of the tent frame. ln its extended or open position it provides a sturdy structural support for the skin; yet, one simple hand operation brings about its collapse into a compact folded condition. As few as four and as many as six such subframe assemblies can be pivotally joined together at their corners to define a four-sided structure with a roof over it. The
preferred form of the invention leaves the subframe as- Y semblies out of the bottom and one wall so as to leave an unobstructed entryway and working area. Each subframe assembly collapses inwardly in the same way such that when they are all collapsed and the connectors at the intersection of their jointed diagonal struts are brought together, all the strut sections will be sideby-side with folds of the fabric forming the skin covering same folded therebetween. The'stretchable cords that cooperate with the stop-forming connectors to keep the several subframe assemblies in extended overcenter relation also enable the remote strut ends they interconnect to be brought together without having to disconnect, remove or dismantle any part of the frame. Also, by encasing these cords in hems along the margins of the tent walls, a unitary skin and frame assembly results.
It is, therefore, the principal object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved tent of a type especially well-suited for use as a shelter for public utility service crews and the like.
A second objective of the invention forming the subject matter hereof is to provide a unique collapsible subframe assembly, anywhere from four to sixof. which can be pivotally interconnected at the corners thereof to define a four-sided frame with a roof capable of supporting a skin covering.
Another object of the within-described invention is to produce a one-piece tent in which the frame and skin covering same remain together and intact at all times.
and taken down by one of ordinary skill with little or no experience in less than a minute.
Further objects are to provide a tent-like structure that is easy to use, rugged, trouble-free, compact, versatile, roomy, weatherproof, stable and even somewhat decorative.
Other objects will be in part apparent and in part pointed out specifically hereinafter in connection with the description of the drawings that follows, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view looking down and to the rightupon the frame alone in erected position;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view similar to FIG. 1 except to a smaller scale showing the entire'tent with the flaps across the entryway partly open;
FIG. 3 is still another perspective view to approximately the same scale as FIG. 1 showing the tent in folded condition ready to be stowed;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detail showing the stop-forming connector located in the center of each subframe assembly that is used to join the sections of the diagonal struts together at the point where they intersect one another;
FIG. 5 is a diametrical section taken along line 55 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view to the same scale as FIGS. 4 and 5 showing one of the three-strut corners, the skin having been removed to expose the connector, strut ends, stretchable cords and tunnel-forming hems; and,
FIG. 7 is a side elevation of the corner of FIG. 6, again with some of the fabric removed to expose the interior construction.
Referring next to the drawings for a detailed description of the present invention and, initially, to FIGS. 1 and 2 for this purpose, reference numeral 10 has been chosen to designate the tent in its entirety while numeral 12 denotes its frame and 14 its skin, all in a general way. The frame 12 comprises a minimum of four and up to a maximum of six nearly identically constructed subframe assemblies, all of which have been broadly referred to by reference numeral 16 For purposes of differentiating between these several subframes, all of which can differ in both size and shape, that which defines the support for the right wall as one faces the entryway 18 has been further identified by adding the letter R thereto, thus becoming 16R. Similarly, the left subframe assembly becomes 16L, the back one 168 and the top 16T. In the particular embodiment illustrated herein which is the preferred form of the invention, the subframe assemblies that could be positioned in the area of the entryway 18 as well as in the floor area are both left out. Even so, the arch defined by sidewall subframes 16R and 16L plus 16T connecting same across the top define a rigid selfsupporting structure when the back subframe structure 168 is added thereto. 1
These subframe structures 16 comprise the primary building blocks of the tent frame 12 and each is a completely self-contained assembly despite the fact that they coact with one another to a degree when connected together and they also provide the only means by which the skin 14 is attached to the frame. Now, each of these subframes has a pair of rigid diagonally extending jointed struts 20 that intersect one another at connector 22 to which the sections thereof are pivotally attached for foldable movement from and extended overcenter relation into a side-by-side essentially parallel relation. When the struts are unfolded into their overcenter operative position shown in full lines in FIG. 1, they are releasably held thus extended by a stretchable cord 24 reeved from the remote end of one strut to the next until a closed more or less rectangular or trapezoidal loop 26 is formed therearound.
At this point it would, perhaps, be advisable to take shaped trough 32 adapted to receive the adjacent ends 34 of the strut sections 20 and hold same in position such that the jointed struts defined thereby intersect one another when unfolded as shown. Extending across the mouth of each branch of the X-shaped trough is a pivot pin 36 that hingedly mounts each of the strut sections 20 for movement between a folded and an unfolded position. In the bottom of each aligned branch of the X-shaped trough spaced radially outward from the pins 36 in the mouths thereof are stops 38 that cooperate with said pins to limit the arc through which the adjoining sections of each strut can swing from their folded into their fully unfolded position to slightly over More specifically, as can be seen most clearly in FIG. 5, the two sections 20 that cooperate to make up each of the jointed struts can be unfolded to a point where they pass a straight line relationship and assume what has been denominated herein as an overcenter" position where they bear an angular relationship to somewhere around 200 to 210, the specific angle not being particularly critical so long as it exceeds 180 and is less than a maximum of 220 or so,
The length of each portion of the strut sections 20 that extend inwardly toward the center of the X-shaped trough beyond the pivot pin 36 must, of necessity, be short enough to both clear the adjacent ends of the other strut sections and the bottom of the trough because, otherwise, they could not be folded into side-byside relation with respect to one another. Note also that the preferred form of connector 28 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 has an integrally formed handle 40 on the face thereof opposite that which contains the X-shaped trough. This handle facilitates collapsing the tent by pulling the struts from their fully unfolded position (full lines in FIG. 1) back overcenter (broken lines in FIG. 1) and all the way to the fully-folded side-by-side relation shown in FIG. 3.
Next, with specific reference to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, the manner in which each of the subframe assemblies 16 is releasably maintained in its fully unfolded position will be described in detail as well as how the several such subframes are interconnected at the corners thereof. The remote ends 42 of each tubular strut section are flattened as shown at 44 onto one end of a chain link 46 or the like prior to passing a bolt 48 therethrough to clamp the latter in place. The portion of link 46 that projects beyond the flattened strut end 42 defines an eye 50 through which the stretchable cord 24 is reeved before its opposite free ends 51 are tied together or otherwise terminated to define an endless loop that is under constant tension whenever the struts are fully unfolded. Cord 24 neednt be elastic so long as it is capable of stretching the small amount necessary to permit the fully unfolded struts to move into a coplanar relationship to one another as they pass to and fro overcenter. It should be apparent at this point that the tightly stretched cord loop will function to releasably maintain each of the several subframe assemblies in their fully unfolded overcenter position shown in full lines in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 thus cooperating with the pins 36 and stops 38 to produce a rigid wall supporting structure. Alternatively, when moved back across center toward the folded position, this cord loop goes slack and allows the struts to fold until they assume the side-by-side relationship to one another that has been shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 also reveals thefact that the tent skin 14 is hemmed as indicated at 52 to define tunnels 54 through which the cord 24 is reeved to providethe connection between the skin and frame. These hemmed tunnels 54 border all four of the subframe assemblies, those located at the intersection of two such subframes carry ing one cord from each while the others carry only a single cord as can be seen from a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 2.
Before leaving FIGS. 6 and 7, detailed attention must be given to the corner connectors 56 by which the remote ends 42 of the struts are pivotally interconnected at each corner where two or three subframe assemblies meet. In the particular form shown, connector 56 comprises nothing more than a generally L-shaped bracket 58 welded to the chain link 46 on the remoteend of the roof-forming subframe assembly 16T, a clevis 60 on the downturned leg of said bracket, and a split-loop member 62 secured within the clevis in position to define two eyes '64 on each side thereof capable of being hooked through the eyes 50 on the upper remote ends of the sidewall and back wall struts. The same connector 56 is used regardless of whether two or three struts are to be pivotally interconnected. Connector 56 can,
of course, take other forms than that shown so long as it permits the struts to move from the corner-forming relation into a more or less parallel one. Apart fromthe fact that each of the several subframes can be of a different size and shape or both as will appear presently, it is because the remote ends of the roof-forming struts carry connectors 56 permanently fastened thereto that the subframe assembly l6T is considered to be slightly different from those that connect thereto and define the side and back walls; however, they all work exactly the same way even when of different size and shape.
Finally, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the complete tent is shown in fully erect as well as fully folded position. In erect position, the walls and roof backed up by the subframe assemblies are not truly planar, but instead, bulge outward slightly due to the overcenter relation of the struts-As shown, the entryway 18 is covered by openable flaps 66 that define a doorway. These flaps end up on the outside of the folded tent as seen in FIG. 3. A skirt 68 borders the bottom of the tent skin and provides a means for holding it down should the necessity arise.
In the particular form shown, all four walls are trapezoidal while the roof is rectangular thus producing a truncated pyramidal shape; however, the walls can, if desired, be rectangular or even square so that the tent assumes a more nearly cubical shape. In fact, the opposite sidewalls neednt be the same shape nor do they have to be the same shape as the back wall which means, of course, that the shape of the top is, likewise, not limited to a square or a rectangle. About the only essential requirements as to size are that the walls should all be roughly the same height and the linear dimensions between the corners at opposite ends of any two intersecting subframes must be equal to one another.
FIG. 3 illustrates how compact the tent folds when outside thereof. A few seconds spent smoothing out the folds and wrapping the flaps 66 around theoutside of the bundle thus formed completes the job.
What is claimed is:
1. The tent which comprises: at least four collapsible subframe assemblies pivotally interconnected at their common corners to define a roof frame bounded on at least three sides by upstanding wall frames, each of said subframes including a pair of diagonally extending inwardly folding jointed struts arranged in crossed relation,stop formingconnector means-located at the intersection of each strut pair hingedly interconnecting the jointed sections thereof together for limited relative pivotal movement between an inwardly folded one and a fullyunfolded position wherein the sections of each strut bear an angular relationship to one another that exceeds and is less than approximately 220,and means comprising a stretchable cord tensioned between the remote ends of adjacent strut sections in the same subframe, said cord defining a continuous generally rectangular loop therearound adapted to cooperate with the stop forming connector at the intersection thereof to releasably maintain same in fully unfolded position; and, a foldable fabric defining a covering for at least one of the subframes, said covering having the marginal areas thereof provided with loop-forming elements positioned and adapted to receive and retain the lengths of tensioned cord extending between the ends of the subframe strut sections thus producing a unitary assembly with the collapsible frame defined by the sub frames. I
2. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the stop forming connector means comprises a plate with intersecting channels formed in one face thereof, each such channel. having a transversely extending pin in the. mouth thereof adjacent the intersection adapted to pivotally mount the inner end of a strut section and an up standing stop spaced radially outward from said pin, said stop and pin cooperating with one another and the like elements in the channel aligned therewith to maintain the sections of the strut fastened therein in fully extended position.
3. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the front of the tent is left without a subframe; and, in which the covering extends over the top and down all four sides, that portion of the covering on the front being slit to define an entryway.
4. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the stop forming connector means holds the strut sections at an angle of approximately 200 when fully extended.
5. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the loop forming elements in the marginal areas of the covering comprise a double thickness of fabric stitched to define a tunnel-like passage sized to receive the cord.
6. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the remote ends of adjacent strut sections in the roof frame are spaced apart the same distance as the corresponding remote strut section ends of the wall frames with which they pivotally connect at the common corners.
7. The tent as set forth in claim 1 in which: the covering includes skirt forming flaps along the bottom edge thereof adapted to lay out upon the ground and provide means for anchoring the tent down.
8. The subcombination of a collapsible free-standing tent frame for use with a foldable fabric canopy to define a tent which comprises: at least four collapsible subframe assemblies pivotally interconnected at their common corners to define a roof frame bounded on at least three sides by upstanding wall frames, each of said subframes including a pair of diagonally extending inwardly folding jointed struts arranged in crossed relation, stop forming connector means located at the intersection of each strut pair hingedly interconnecting the jointed sections thereof together for limited relative pivotal movement between an inwardly folded one and a fully unfolded position wherein the sections of each strut bear an angular relationship to one another that exceeds 180 and is less than approximately 220, and means comprising a stretchable cord tensioned between the remote ends of adjacent strut sections in the same subframe, said cord defining a continuous generally rectangular loop therearound adapted to cooperate with the stop forming connector at the intersection thereof to releasably maintain same in fully unfolded position.
9. The subcombination as set forth in claim 8 in which: the strut sections are tubular and partially flattened at the remote ends thereof to define an elongate opening; link means are fastened within said elongate openings in a manner to produce an eye on said remote end; and, the cord is reeved through said eyes.
10. The subcombination as set forth in claim 8 in tinuous which: the stop forming connector has a handle on the inside thereof.
11. The subcombination as set forth in claim 9 in which: rings threaded through the eyes of the strut sections at the common corners hingedly interconnect same for foldable movement between an unfolded position and a folded position in side-by-side relation.
12. The subframe for use in combination with three or more similar subframes to define a collapsible free standing tent frame which comprises: a pair of diagonally extending inwardly folding jointed struts arranged in crossed relation, stop forming connector means located at the intersection of each strut pair hingedly interconnecting the jointed sections thereof together for limited relative pivotal movement between an inwardly folded one and a fully unfolded position wherein the sections of each strut bear an angular relationship to one another that exceeds and is less than approximately 220, and means comprising a stretchable cord tensioned between the remote ends of adjacent strut sections in the same subframe, said cord defining a congenerally rectangular loop therearound adapted to cooperate with the stop forming connector at the intersection thereof to releasably maintain same in fully unfolded position.

NED Authors Write on Ukraine and the Future of Democratic Transitions in July Journal of Democracy
Essays by two senior staff members of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) will appear in the forthcoming July issue of the Journal of Democracy.
In "The Maidan and Beyond: Finding Ukraine," Nadia Diuk, NED's vice-president for programs on Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Eurasia, observes that the protests which took place on Kyiv's Independence Square last winter "not only brought a new government to power but changed the people and their outlook." Diuk's essay, which concludes a set of eight on the crisis in Ukraine, guides readers through previous protest movements in the country and explores the short-term geopolitical implications as well as the longer-term impact that the EuroMaidan will have on Ukrainian identity.
Dr. Diuk, along with three other contributors to the Journal's Ukraine coverage, will participate in a panel discussion, "Ukraine: The Maidan and Beyond," at the NED on Monday, July 14, at 12:00 p.m.
In "The End of the Transitions Era?," Marc F. Plattner, vice-president for research and studies at NED and founding coeditor of the Journal, takes the opportunity presented by the fortieth anniversary of the Portuguese Revolution, which began the cascade of political transitions that Samuel P. Huntington called the "third wave" of democratization, to reflect on the notions of revolution and transition, and to assess the current status and future prospects of democracy in the world.News Source : NED Authors Write on Ukraine and the Future of Democratic Transitions in July Journal of Democracy

Bobcats vs South Dakota St – Game Notes
The MSU Bobcats host the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Saturday at Bobcat Stadium in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. Game time is 2pm.
The MSU Bobcats host the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Saturday at Bobcat Stadium in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. Game time is 2pm.
Despite their tough loss Saturday night to Montana, the MSU Bobcats received good news on Sunday morning. They are in the 24 team FCS Championship and will open with a home game this week on Saturday against South Dakota State.
We lost on the field, but we 'Canned the Griz' AGAIN this year! Montana State collected 171,554 pounds of food and $74,636 in donations. The University of Montana collected 121,609 pounds of food and $78,272 dollars in donations.
The Montana Grizzlies defeated the MSU Bobcats 37-7 on Saturday night in The Brawl of the Wild. But there's still good news to focus on for the Bobcats.
Finally, it's time to play the game! 'The Brawl of the Wild' between MSU & Montana gets underway just after 3pm today in Missoula. Here are some notes for today's game:
It's Cat-Griz in 'The Battle of the Wild' on Saturday in Missoula. Here's Bobcat head coach Rob Ash addressing the crowd at Thursday night's pep rally!
It's The 'Brawl of the Wild' this weekend in Missoula between the Cats and Griz! Where will you be watching the game this Saturday? Please take our poll!
Join Amy and me this Thursday as we host the Annual Cat/Griz Pep Rally in downtown Bozeman! The Brawl of the Wild is this Saturday in Missoula, and we need to get our football team pumped up with Bobcat Spirit!
The MSU Bobcats stayed at the top of the Big Sky Conference with a 44-39 victory Saturday over the Idaho State Bengals. The Bengals led 21-10 in the second quarter, but the Bobcat defense buckled down to hold Idaho State to just 9pts in the second half to secure the win.
Dress warm today! We're expecting a game time temperature of around 7 degrees for today's Bobcat game vs the Idaho State Bengals.
The MSU Bobcat men's basketball team starts their season tonight on the road at UCLA.
We've got cans. Lots of cans. But we need more.

Release Date:
October 10, 2006
The four-disc box set called the Acoustic Collection: 1999-2002 assembles the three albums Dolly Parton cut for the independent Sugar Hill label, and a hodgepodge bonus DVD. The albums -- The Grass Is Blue, Little Sparrow, Halos Horns -- were all critically acclaimed as they signified a return by Parton to her bluegrass and backwoods country roots. That said, there are cover versions here of many songs, including one of Led Zeppelin's infamous, ubiquitous hit, "Stairway to Heaven." The enclosed DVD features five new song mixes for "Seven Bridges Road," "Travelin' Prayer," "Train, Train," "Shine," and "I'm Gone." There are two non-Parton performances recorded at the Dolly Parton Tribute by Kasey Chambers and Sinéad O'Connor, three videos for songs from this collection, and a duet performance between Parton and Norah Jones singing "The Grass Is Blue."

Hi all, long time voyeur, but first time poster. I have a little problem which I would appreciate some help with. I have a 2008 Focus Zetec S, and yesterday when I filled the car up with petrol (£15 only), the needle for the petrol rose to where it should as per normal (car was running on empty), but as you will see in the attached photo, the digital display which indicates how many miles I can drive with the remaining petrol in the tank is on zero. I thought maybe this is just a "bug" with the car and decieed to park the car up and check this morning/evening, but again same issue. The digital display still reads I can drive "0 mls" only! What could this be guys? Please also note that all the other functions; mpg, etc work perfectly fine.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Problem With Digital Display, Miles Remaining Not Showing, Please Help!

Maybe fill the car up completely? If that doesn't work try disconnecting battery, make sure you have your radio code!

Ellen G. White was a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Born in 1827 in Gorham, Maine, her spiritual calling began at an early age. For the remainder of her life, she conducted a public ministry, spreading her revolutionary Christian thinking around the country and the world. In 1863, the Seventh-day Adventist Church was established and she became its first spiritual leader. Through her inspired guidance, what began as a handful of believers has grown to include millions of followers throughout the world.

Emmys Shakeup: 'American Horror Story' to Compete in Miniseries Category
The move for the freshman series takes it out of the tough competition with the likes of "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "Homeland" and puts it into a category that some perceive as less difficult to win.
This year's Emmys race just got a lot weirder.
FX's strange drama thriller American Horror Story will compete in the Miniseries and Made for TV Movies category, the network announced on Friday. The move for the freshman series takes it out of the tough competition with the likes of Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Homeland and puts it into a category that some perceive as less tough.
The move comes on the heels of the last year's winning Miniseries Downton Abbey's shift this year to the drama series category. Horror Story aired 12 episodes in its first season, more than most mini-series. But its co-creator Ryan Murphy has announced that each season will have a new cast, labeling it an "anthology" series.
"The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Awards Committee and Board of Governors has determined that American Horror Story has dual status qualification in the Drama Series category and Miniseries category for the Emmy Awards," said FX spokesman John Solberg.
But networks can only submit in one category, so FX has chosen the Miniseries category.
