Angela Pirlott, Saint Xavier University
About My Research: My research seeks to understand prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination--particularly sexual orientation prejudice--from an affordance management perspective, which suggests that prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination evolved as functional responses to perceived threats and opportunities posed by other groups--stereotypes reflect perceived threats which engage specific emotions and behaviors to mitigate such threats. Saint Xavier University is located in Chicago, IL, which would allow for great extracurricular experiences as well.

Kimberly Quinn, DePaul University
About My Research: My current research takes a social-cognitive approach to studying how individuals' representations of themselves and others shape and are shaped by interaction, and in what happens when the "other" includes the physical spaces that the individual inhabits. Our primary focus right now is the self-transcendent emotion of awe in a variety of public spaces, in collaboration with the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and the John G. Shedd Aquarium, and with potential future involvement of several other local museums.
Additional Information: Students interested in our research would have the opportunity to learn interesting methods such as eye tracking, and would work with both me and my primary collaborator at DePaul (Sheila Krogh-Jespersen). Interested students can't be afraid of new technology or self-directed learning, because we're learning new techniques all the time in my lab and so we're often also in the learning stage!

Lindsey Rodriguez, University of South Florida - St. Petersburg
About My Research: My research incorporates social cognitive and relationship theories with health psychology to focus on understanding and improving relationships, including how relationships are influenced by alcohol/other addictive behaviors, intimate partner violence, jealousy, and interpersonal perceptions. The ultimate goal is to design empirically-based interventions to help individuals struggling with relationship-related stressors. In addition to first-hand exposure to the entire research design and analysis process, professional development activities will be incorporated into the summer experience. Students will design and receive tailored feedback on developing a curriculum vitae, as well as engage in active discussion about the graduate school application process (e.g., how to search for programs and advisors, determine fit in research interests, pre-application advisor contact, personal statement development) as well as broader career development (e.g., internship and non-academic career opportunities).
Additional Information: I consider mentoring high-quality undergraduates and helping them accomplish their goals (e.g., finding a program that excites them, helping them get into graduate school) a very high priority. For more information on my lab, please visit my website at www.USFSP.edu/heart.

Amanda Sesko, University of Alaska Southeast
About My Research: I focus on the relative invisibility of American Indians/Alaska Natives that occurs when a group representation is outdated and/or erroneous, or misperceived to be outdated. Specifically, I examine how "historical" representations within cultural tourism affect behavioral attributes (e.g., engagement in intelligent and contemporary behaviors) and stereotypes of indigenous groups.
Additional Information: We are currently conducting studies on the topic listed over the summer using tourists that come to Juneau as participants. The research assistant would primarily be involved in this work and thus would be getting a unique experience collecting data from a community-based sample outside of the lab. Juneau offers a rich and unique environment to study social psychological issues. In addition, it is a beautiful place to visit with many opportunities for exploration!

John Tawa, Mount Holyoke College
About My Research: I am interested in the psychology of race-relations. As an example, some of my past research has examined how perceived competition for resources (e.g., educational, economic) creates greater distance between minority groups (e.g., between Blacks and Asians) relative to both their distances towards the White majority group. While the content of my research focuses on intergroup relations, methodologically I am particularly interested in directly assessing people's "real time" behavior, in lieu of a primary reliance on self-reported behavior. I find that virtual technology is a particularly powerful medium for assessing intergroup behavior. For example, in the study described above, I had participants create self-resembling avatars and interact in social events in the virtual world Second Life. When I introduced a resource competition task in the social event, Black and Asian participants were found to increase their collective physical distance towards each other. Currently, I am developing a project that uses virtual reality to examine racial bias in police decisions to use lethal force. Prospective mentees interested in working with me can find out more information on my website (www.thebiaslab.com) and/or contact me directly (firstname.lastname@example.com).

About My Research: Human beings are social animals adapted for group living. Our research examines how collective concerns—ranging from our group identities to our moral values and political ideologies—can shape even the most basic elements of perception and evaluation. We believe these social dynamics are fundamental to understanding the human mind and brain. Our lab takes a social neuroscience approach to these issues, moving from the function of brain regions to large-scale collective action. It is our hope that this approach will help address a range of social issues, including implicit bias, dehumanization, cooperation, justice, partisanship, and intergroup conflict.

NC senator proposes 'safety marshals' for schools
NC senator proposes 'safety marshals' for schools
A state senator is proposing to let North Carolina public schools create "safety marshals" who would know how to use a gun during a campus crisis.
Republican Sen. Stan Bingham of Denton filed legislation Thursday that would allow local school boards or charter schools to designate school employees, volunteers or others as a school safety marshal.
The State Board of Education would work with the state agency that trains law enforcement officers to develop an emergency management program and set standards for marshals that would include firearms and how to use them around unarmed bystanders.
Bingham said the marshal wouldn't carry a gun at school but would have access to one in case of an emergency. No word on if or when the bill will be heard.


text: Crops Transition to the Back Burner October 4, 2013 05:40 AM Tweet Future corn prices are expected to be down, causing a drop in planted acres. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email U.S. economy is projected to grow Corn prices will average $4.65 per bushel for the 2013/14 marketing year, according to the new baseline report by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI). If production allows stocks to rebuild, FAPRI says prices could be even lower in subsequent years. Average soybean prices are forecast at $11.33 per bushel for this year's crop, with the possibility of additional declines in 2014. However, if soybean yields are less than what USDA forecast in its August report, it wouldn't be a surprise if soybean prices move higher than what FAPRI forecasts, says Pat Westhoff, FAPRI director, adding that the price of all crops will be sensitive to changing production estimates. Interest rates are forecast to increase steadily from 3.3% this year to 7% by 2018. Wheat prices are expected to decline from $7.11 per bushel this crop year to $5.90 in the 2014/15 marketing year and then gradually increase to $6.28 per bushel by 2018. "These levels are reasonable for long-range prices," says Frayne Olson, North Dakota State University ag economist. "Producers should look at their cost of production and risk management strategies as they factor in these price points." While FAPRI numbers point to lower crop prices in the decade ahead, Olson still believes producers will have selling opportunities. "FAPRI's model assumes normal weather," Olson says. "There will be years when this is not the case." With corn prices set to decline, FAPRI expects fewer corn acres to be planted. "By 2018, we only expect 93.1 million acres of corn to be planted—that's 4 million acres less than this year," Westhoff says. Corn yields are anticipated to increase from 154.4 bu. per acre to 171.6 bu. by 2018. Soybean yields are only expected to increase from 42.6 bu. per acre to 46 bu. Crops Aside. Corn-based ethanol production is expected to increase in 2014, although the size of the increase will be sensitive to the Environmental Protection Agency's decision about how to implement the Renewable Fuels Standard. Lower feed prices will reduce livestock and poultry production expenses, resulting in improved profitability and setting the stage for an increase in meat production. However, this does not apply to the beef industry. Reduced livestock herds mean beef production will reach a low in 2014, Westhoff says. The institute sees growth in both the U.S. and global economies. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to increase from 1.6% in 2013 to 2.7% next year and 3.5% in 2015 before moderating in subsequent years. World GDP is forecast to increase to 3.4% in 2014, reaching 4% by 2015 and 2016. China's GDP is expected to be 7.5% this year and peak at 8.2% by 2015, before declining to 7.1% by 2018. FAPRI expects interest rates to increase during much of the forecast period, with the projected 2013/14 prime rate of 3.3% increasing slightly to 3.4% in 2015 but steadily rising to 7% by 2018.

That's why Terminator 3 is so bad, it just undoes the ending immediately and says "nope, doesn't matter, Judgment Day still happens". The ending of TDK was hard-earned, bittersweet "victory" of sorts, so Gotham had to get better or else the ending immediately feels cheapened and not as important as it was made out to be.
We've argued this in circles for a year, and I know people feel the exact opposite about how TDKR cheapened TDK's ending, etc. But it's still really how I feel. Yes, in the end the film ends up serving as a deconstruction of TDK's ending, but with the time jump it still allows TDK's ending to be an 8 year victory. I'm sorry you see it as a "disgusting" waste of opportunity milost, but to be honest...I was never terribly interested in a movie about Batman as a fugitive. It just seemed kind of silly to me that Batman would invite that kind of heat on himself while trying to do his job. I'd feel no sympathy for him because he invited that on himself and chose to lie to Gotham for the sake of giving them a "white knight", and for what? With the way TDKR is setup, I actually do feel sorry for him. Maybe some people aren't comfortable feeling sorry for Bruce like that, I don't know. But it worked for me, I was totally invested from the first moment he limps on screen.
I agree with everything you said. All of it worked and clicked for me.

By Default when TeamSpeak is first started it starts with all the defaults. Most users like to have the extra security and features that are possible with TeamSpeak 3. These are possibly by using a customized configuration file.
First as always we need to update everything and install the packages we'll be using in this guide. Just use the following command to update your server and install nano (a text editor)For Centos:
For Ubuntu:
yum -y update && yum -y install nano
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install nano
To use the INI file you would simply make a file called
ts3server.ini that is owned by TeamSpeak 3 user in your TeamSpeak 3 server directory and fill it with the INI information. You can do that with the following commands:
touch /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
chown ts3:ts3 /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
nano /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
Below is a good example of an INI file that is generated.
You would have to replace the IPv4 address of 192.168.1.0 to be the dedicated IPv4 address that you were given when you purchased and replace the IPv6 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 with the IPv6 address you also received when you purchased. Please note that IPv6 is only supported in TeamSpeak 3.0.13 and later and that IP addresses must be separated by a comma (,)
Please note that when listing your dedicated IP addresses in the INI file you should always have at least an IPv4 address to make sure there is maximum compatibility. The same can be said for IPv6 since more and more Internet Service providers are using just IPv6. We would suggest for maximum performance and capability that there is at least 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 in each IP field.
Starting your server with the ini script is pretty straight forward depending on how you want to start it. There are two choices.
Edit the ts3server_startscript.sh and replace the COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS="${2}" line with COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS="inifile=ts3server.ini" save and then run the following commands
su ts3
./ts3server_startscript.sh start
su ts3
./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh inifile=ts3server.ini &
Then press ctrl+c to get back to the command line

Consistent with Buffalo Billion plan for tourism in Niagara Falls, Intertrust Development Inc. and Uniland Development Co. will be invited to submit RFPs for adaptive reuse and redevelopment of critical property in Niagara Falls
The Western New York Regional Economic Development Council met Tuesday and was presented with a shortlist of pre-qualified developers for the adaptive reuse and redevelopment of the remaining 200,000 square feet in the former Rainbow Centre Mall in downtown Niagara Falls. Intertrust Development Inc., one of the largest hospitality business owners and developers in Western New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Uniland Development Co., a leading builder, developer and manager of commercial real estate in Western New York, will now be invited to respond to a detailed request for proposals. A preferred developer will ultimately be selected by late 2013 to redevelop the property, which is located just a short walk from the brink of the American Falls.
The full redevelopment of this property will be facilitated by future investments to be made as part of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's "Buffalo Billion" initiative in Western New York.
"These two qualified developers present distinctive, adaptive-use designs that, if chosen, will be a positive addition to the downtown landscape of Niagara Falls," said Satish K. Tripathi, Western New York Regional Economic Development Council co-chair and president of the University at Buffalo. "With Gov. Cuomo's support through the Buffalo Billion initiative, this administration is laying the groundwork for the revitalization of Niagara Falls. I am hopeful that the successful redevelopment of the former Rainbow Centre Mall will encourage the renewal of both the city and region's tourism industry."
"The redevelopment of the remaining space in the former Rainbow Centre Mall will create new jobs, increase the tax base and support investment in downtown Niagara Falls, while returning the structure to a productive and self-sustaining use," said Howard Zemsky, Western New York Regional Economic Development Council co-chair and Larkin Development Group managing partner. "Gov. Cuomo has put an emphasis on the Niagara region and, with an able developer, we expect to move this property forward with a signature project consistent with the Buffalo Billion plan."
Under an agreement with the City of Niagara Falls, Empire State Development, through its subsidiary USA Niagara Development Corp., is leading all marketing and developer solicitation for the city-owned property. Through a request for qualification process, USAN and the City of Niagara Falls solicited development teams that demonstrated extensive experience in design, finance, development, construction and operations of large-scale urban mixed-use complexes incorporating retail, office, institutional and entertainment components. Intertrust and Uniland were pre-qualified as part of the RFQ process and will now submit a more detailed RFP.
Intertrust Development's preliminary concept is for a proposed upscale, urban mixed-use entertainment development, which will include themed franchised restaurants, a retail plaza, attractions, hotel and other amenities. Intertrust's partners on the project are LPCiminelli, a successful construction management provider; JCJ Architecture, which has designed more than 100 hospitality and entertainment projects throughout North America, including the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel; and Landry's, which owns and operates more than 400 properties, including more than 40 unique brands such as Landry's Seafood House, Bubba Gump Shrimp and Rainforest Cafe.
Uniland Development's preliminary concept is to transform the structure into a year-round destination to extend visitors' length of stay with a focus on redevelopment efforts such as a hotel, themed attraction, retail/restaurant space and expansion of the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute. Uniland's partners on the project are Cannon Design, an award-winning, full service architecture, engineering and interior design firm with projects in more than 20 countries; and Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts, which is headquartered in Buffalo, and is a leader in the hospitality sector with a portfolio that includes world-renowned hotels and cultural attractions.
City of Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster said, "Building off of the recent $26 million investment in the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute, I'm pleased that our state partners at Empire State Development and USA Niagara have led us another step closer to selecting a developer for the next development phase of the former Rainbow Centre Mall - a key city-owned property in the heart of downtown Niagara Falls."
The Buffalo Billion Investment Development Plan identifies tourism assets, with an emphasis on Niagara Falls, among the Buffalo Niagara region's three top sectors for investment to transform the region's economic trajectory. Part of this historic investment by the governor in the area economy is already planned to go to key public infrastructure facilities and programming to expand the tourism experience in Niagara Falls. Strategic efforts to attract or support private sector development in the downtown area near Niagara Falls State Park - an area that includes the former Rainbow Centre Mall - are also envisioned by the investment development plan.

AICPA Monitoring PCAOB Forums for Auditors of Smaller Broker-Dealers
September 20, 2012
The American Institute of CPAs continues to advocate for a final Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) rule requiring inspections of auditors of clearing, carrying and custodial broker-dealers and has staked out a strong position opposing inspection of auditors of introducing broker-dealers. The AICPA's position is based on the fact that clearing, carrying and custodial broker-dealers have direct access to client assets and such an inspection program is likely to result in the biggest benefit to the public. The AICPA has submitted numerous comment letters to Congress, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the PCAOB and various industry publications expressing its position.
In order to lessen the possibility that another Madoff-type theft could occur, Congress, in the Dodd-Frank Act, granted broad new authority to the PCAOB to expand its mission beyond regulating the auditors of public companies. Under the Act, the PCAOB has the authority, by rule, to set up an inspection regime for auditors of broker-dealers. In the rule, the PCAOB may choose specific classes of broker-dealer auditors or mandate that all auditors of all broker-dealers be subject to inspection and registration. Lawmakers have explicitly indicated to the PCAOB that it should consider the various benefits and risks to investors, auditors and broker-dealers, as it considers any potential rule.
In June of 2011, the PCAOB adopted a rule to create a temporary inspection program of all auditors of broker-dealers. Since the PCAOB rule will not be final until 2013, the AICPA continues to voice its belief that auditors of introducing broker-dealers should be excluded from the PCAOB's oversight. It is the AICPA's view that until the scope of the PCAOB final inspection rule is determined, PCAOB audit standards should not apply to auditors of non-public broker-dealers.
"We are convinced that the SEC should not require that the audits or attestation reports for non-public broker-dealers reports be performed in accordance with PCAOB standards until the PCAOB has established the scope for its permanent inspection program," the AICPA wrote in a April 30, 2012 letter to the PCAOB signed by Susan S. Coffey, CPA, AICPA senior vice president – public practice and global alliances. "We similarly contend that requiring auditors of non-public broker-dealers to follow PCAOB quality control, ethics and independence standards is not warranted until decisions with respect to a final, permanent inspection program's scope are reached."
Following the issuance of its rule, the PCAOB kicked off a series of one-day public forums in the fall of 2011 for auditors of smaller brokers and dealers who are registered with the PCAOB. The PCAOB forums provide an opportunity for registered public accounting firms operating in the smaller broker-dealer community to interact with PCAOB Board members and staff and to learn more about the PCAOB. The forums also enable the PCAOB to hear the comments and concerns of auditors working with smaller brokers and dealers.
The PCAOB has held four forums to date and plans to hold two more this fall – one on Oct. 25 in Jersey City, N.J. and one on Nov. 8 in San Diego, Calif. The AICPA has made a point of having staff and interested members attend these forums to glean information regarding the likely direction the PCAOB will take after it completes its interim inspections and moves towards a permanent final rule. The AICPA will be in attendance at the two upcoming forums, as well.
The AICPA members and staff attending the past PCAOB broker-dealer forums learned that in 2011, as part of interim inspection, PCAOB inspected eight registered accounting firms and examined portions of 19 broker-dealer audits. The PCAOB staff anticipated inspecting over 40 firms in 2012 and examining portions of about 60 broker-dealer audits. The PCAOB issued its first annual broker-dealer inspections findings report in August 2012. That report covered 23 audits of broker-dealers performed by ten registered accounting firms, out of approximately 4,400 audits conducted by over 800 audit firms. The PCAOB identified deficiencies in each of the audits selected for inspection. The report points out that seven of the 10 inspected firms do not audit public companies and, accordingly, are not otherwise subject to inspection by the PCAOB.
While the PCAOB recognizes in the report that its findings cannot be generalized to all broker-dealer audits, the accounting profession takes seriously the results of PCAOB's interim inspection program related to the audits of broker-dealers. In addition to the efforts that take place on an individual firm basis, the AICPA, the Center for Audit Quality and individual accounting firms are engaged in a profession-wide effort to identify additional ways the profession can enhance audit quality and investor confidence in the integrity of audited financial statements.
PCAOB observations from its interim inspections and feedback from these forums will assist the PCAOB in determining the appropriate scope of its permanent inspection rules and which broker-dealers should comply with PCAOB standards. The forums will also help the PCAOB to understand and consider the unique needs and challenges of the auditors of smaller broker-dealers and their clients in its inspection and standard-setting process.
For information about the AICPA's efforts concerning the registration and inspection of the auditors of broker-dealers, see the broker-dealer page in the advocacy area of the AICPA's website.

Biography: What began as a seaside resort in the early 1900s is now a community known for its artsy style. Tobacco millionaire Abbot Kinney had a bold vision to build the "Venice of America" and dug canals to drain the marshy areas. Kinney's resort was a hit and the area grew rapidly. Venice has been through many changes but it has always attracted artists, poets, and writers and maintains its creative spirit. Recent development and the expansion of the Silicon Beach startup culture has brought new energy to Venice.
Real Estate: Venice has a wide mix of homes for sale including both older properties as well as innovative modern architectural homes. The Venice Canals Historic District is a particularly sought after area. There are fewer canals than there were in Abbot Kinney's day, many have been filled in, but there are still homes for sale along these canals and owners often have small paddle boats to navigate these quiet passageways.
Along the beach, oceanfront properties command a premium price. Venice also has several pedestrian-only streets known as "walk streets" by locals. These homes are on double lots with alleys where residents park their cars. The walk streets feature a mix of architectural styles and the unique experience of living on a street not traversed by motor vehicles.
Architecture has been part of Venice's story since the early years and Frank Gehry has designed several well-known properties in the area including the compound once owned by Dennis Hopper.
Community Life: Venice is probably best known for its famous Boardwalk, a vibrant beachside promenade full of shops and cafes and populated with all manner of street performers and fortune tellers. Muscle Beach, the always in-use basketball courts, handball and paddle tennis courts, skate park, and the beach volleyball courts all contribute to the energy of the area.
The street that bears the founder Abbot Kinney's name is now a popular destination full of trendy restaurants and creative boutiques. First Fridays along Abbot Kinney Boulevard attracts large crowds to browse the local art and sample offerings from food trucks converging in the area. The Venice Farmers' Market attracts early bird locals, it is held each Friday from 7-11 a.m.
Education: Venice is served by the Los Angeles Unified School District and includes Westminster Avenue Elementary School and Coeur d'Alene Avenue Elementary School. Other local schools include the Animo Venice Charter High School operated by Green Dot Public Schools. Private options for kindergarten through eighth grade include St. Mark and First Lutheran School of Venice.
Transportation: Venice can be reached by the 405 and 10 Freeways as well as Pacific Coast Highway and is served by five local bus routes. The area earns high ratings for walkability and the Venice Beach bike bath actually continues through Malibu and Santa Monica to the North and Marina Del Rey to the South.
Local Attractions: The boardwalk and Venice Beach are the main local attractions. People also fish, or just take in the view, from the Venice Beach Pier. For an intensive look at the panoply of local art, the Venice Art Crawl takes place on the third Thursday of the month.

Have you ever wanted a .motorcycle domain name for your website? Us neither, but if did, your chance is coming soon. Dealer software solutions group Dominon Powersports Solutions has been granted…ahem…dominion over the new .motorcycles domain, one of many new interest-specific domain names made available by ICANN.
Like the .xxx domain name that came before it, the ICANN hopes that it can corral specific interests into these domains, thereby relieve some of the overcrowding that is going on with the current top-level domains (.com, .net, .org, etc). Will it work? Maybe yes, maybe no.

This is the time of year when I still want to grill summer veggies, and yet my yearning for home baked bread and soups starts to kick into gear.
I had an itch for Corn Chowder and home baked bread that needed to be scratched. I've made Ina Garten's Cheddar Corn Chowder, but I wanted to try a different version. I had bookmarked a version from Cook's Illustrated, a while ago, because it had many positive reviews. Soup and bread is hard to resist, so I decided to make one of my husband's favorite bread recipes-- Buttered Rosemary Skillet Rolls. The rolls are adapted from (gasp) "The Pioneer Woman". Ree's original recipe uses frozen bread dough. I make my own, and these rolls are one of the easiest-- and most faithful-- recipes you'll ever use. Just look at the pool of melted butter! Doesn't it make you swoon? (Paula Deen has nothing on me, with these rolls.) I am not ashamed.
The rolls bake in about 25 minutes. (I bake them in my beloved cast iron skillet). You can use a cake pan, if you wish.
What's missing in this post? I'll tell you. My typical step-by-step photos are! I hadn't planned on blogging about the soup, nor the rolls. I really just wanted to re-shoot the rolls, as the finished shots on my original post didn't turn out right. (This is what happens when you don't check your lens, and you've smeared melted butter all over it.) Fortunately, I automatically photograph most anything I eat. My friends are used to it, now. I'm glad that I did, because the soup recipe is worth sharing with you.
Now... I have a hankering for pumpkin. Big time!

This script just got a lot more complicated because ffmpeg now needs the SI tables to be able to decode the transport stream correctly. I would STRONGLY advise you use one of the other recording scripts. This script will no longer be supported.
dvbt-ffrec - Record a program to file
dvbt-ffrec [options] channel filename duration
-debug level set debug level
-verbose level set verbosity level
-help brief help message
-man full documentation
-a <num> Use adapter <num>
- -help
Print a brief help message and exits.
- -man
Prints the manual page and exits.
- -verbose
Set verbosity level. Higher values show more information.
- -debug
Set debug level. Higher levels show more debugging information (only really of any interest to developers!)
- -a
Specify which adapter number to use
Script that uses the perl Linux::DVB::DVBT package to provide DVB-T adapter functions.
This script differs from dvbt-record in that it illustrates the use of the DVR device by using it as an input to ffmpeg. Here, ffmpeg is used to take the raw transport stream data and encapsulate it into an mpeg file.
Obviously, ffmpeg needs to be installed on the system for this script to work!
Specify the channel name to record, the filename of the recorded file (which may include a directory path and the directories will be created as needed), and the duration of the recording. Note that the filename will be converted to end with .mpeg extension.
The duration may be specified either as an integer number of minutes, or in HH:MM format (for hours & minutes), or in HH:MM:SS format (for hours, minutes, seconds).
The program uses a "fuzzy" search to match the specified channel name with the name broadcast by the network. The case of the name is not important, and neither is whitespace. The search also checks for both numeric and name instances of a number (e.g. "1" and "one").
For example, the following are all equivalent and match with the broadcast channel name "BBC ONE":
BbC One
b b c 1
For full details of the DVBT functions, please see:

A business model led to the arrest of a West Side man Tuesday, state prosecutors said.
Adam Watson, 27, was allegedly offering "samples," of a controlled substance thought to be heroin to a group of men and women around the 1400 block of South Kildare Avenue in North Lawndale on Tuesday afternoon. Police officers responded to a call about the event, called a "pass out," according to the police report.
