Research Summary
Our basic research program focuses on dysfunction of cortico-limbic-striatal circuits that subserve dysfunctional cognitive control, impulsivity and alterations in reward-related learning with relevance to drug addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and Tourette Syndrome. Our current studies examine how DA/PKA-regulated intracellular signaling and neurotrophin molecules within the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and accumbens contribute to motivation, learning, and memory processes, including memory reconsolidation. Studies in monkeys have found long-lasting deficits in inhibitory control after repeated cocaine exposure and alterations in reward-related learning. We have recently developed a novel corticosterone model of depression and also examine sex differences in attention, motivation, and impulse control in rodents and underlying molecular alterations. Several addictive/abused drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine, PCP, THC, nicotine, and alcohol are examined using drug self-administration models. We use transgenic mouse models, intracerebral infusion techniques, and viral-vector mediated overexpression of targeted proteins in combination with sophisticated behavioral techniques in mice, rats, and monkeys.
Extensive Research Description
Examples of some major scientific accomplishments: Advanced the Hypothesis of "Frontostriatal Dysfunction in Addiction". Her work has provided behavioral and biochemical evidence that drug-induced neuroadaptations in cortical and subcortical brain regions result in dysfunctional decision-making abilities and loss of impulse control that, in combination with enhancements of incentive motivation, may contribute to compulsive, habit-driven, behavior in addiction. This theory has received significant attention and has had a major impact on current work in drug addiction research ranging from basic molecular mechanisms, to neurophysiology, and to human neuropsychology and imaging studies. It is, consequently, a major research focus in the field of addiction biology. Her published work in this area has had far reaching impact and includes many "firsts", for example, showing drug-induced cognitive deficits in orbitofrontal cortex in monkeys as well as in rodent models. Most recently she has extended this work to examine the neurobiology of goal directed actions vs. habitual behavior. This paper was the first to demonstrate a selective modulation of behavior by sex chromosome genes, completely independent of gonadal hormone status. Using a mouse model that segregates sex chromosomes (XX vs. XY) from gonadal phenotype (ovaries vs. testes), she found a sex difference in the rate of habit formation whereby XX mice show faster habit formation compared to XY mice, irrespective of hormonal 'sex' status. These data provide new insight into the neurobiological bases of sex differences in the etiology of human habitual or compulsive psychopathologies, such as drug addiction. Together these findings have also had a major influence because Dr. Taylor's work and emphasis has been on delineating cellular/molecular mechanisms the underlie complex psychological processes.

Discovered that Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a critical component for cortico-limbic-striatal plasticity, in the nucleus accumbens regulates the ability of reward-associated stimuli (conditioned reinforcers) to motivate and control goal-directed behavior. This paper established BDNF as a novel regulator of cocaine reward. BDNF is now considered critical for cognition and motivation and recent evidence in humans suggests polymorphisms in the BDNF gene in addiction and cognition. Also first established that another molecule involved in neuronal plasticity, Cdk5, also regulated cocaine's effects on conditioned reinforcers and accumbens plasticity including alterations in dendritic spines. These studies have significantly advanced our understanding of mechanisms associated with neuroadaptive brain responses to cocaine and how drug and reward-associated cues play a role in addiction and relapse.

Characterized how dysfunction of dopaminergic/cAMP/PKA signaling in cortico-limbic-striatal circuits underlies drug-induced alterations in reward-related learning and motivation. In addition, demonstrated how sex differences, and estrogen, modify in these behaviors in rodent models of addiction. This elegant work on the effects of drug exposure on appetitive Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning, conditioned reinforcement and motivation has stimulated intense research in the role of learning and memory processes in drug addiction, and how reward-associated memories can influence motivational processes. Several recent reviews by other influential investigators have found this work important and ground-breaking.

Identified that cAMP/PKA/CREB-signaling in amygdala-dependent is involved in appetitive memory consolidation in addition to its well-known role in aversive memory and identified a new role for PKA in memory reconsolidation. Memory reconsolidation was recently "re-discovered", and is now widely considered to be a process by which previously formed memories can be rendered labile and susceptible to disruption. This may provide a great opportunity for treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias and several psychiatric conditions. Her recent Nature Neuroscience paper was the first to demonstrate that reconsolidation can be enhanced resulting in increased memory strength. This demonstration has a great impact on our understanding mechanisms of this memory process and, it also opens up a number of new avenues for potential clinical applications utilizing manipulations of reconsolidation in a number of mental disorders including understanding the development and treatment of addiction, as hypothesized in her Nature Neuroscience review.

Picked this Sinclair Radio up today at a local Antique market where a lot of venders set up tables outside on Sundays. These were made to look like a gas pump and sold at gas stations. I got this home and stuck in a battery and it works! Sure reminds me of the old days listening to the Beatles "I want to hold your hand" enjoy.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Kobe Bryant had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his 18th career triple-double, and the revitalized Los Angeles Lakers ran past the Houston Rockets 119-108 Sunday night for their fourth victory in five games since firing coach Mike Brown.
Dwight Howard had 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Pau Gasol scored his 15,000th career point among his 17 as the Lakers returned to .500 by running away from their second straight opponent since coach Mike D'Antoni took over their practices.
D'Antoni watched his second straight game from the Lakers' locker room while interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff ran the bench. D'Antoni decided earlier Sunday to delay his debut, giving him a few more days to recover from recent knee replacement surgery.
Chandler Parsons scored 24 points and James Harden had 20 for the Rockets, who have lost six of eight.
Bickerstaff improved to 4-1 while filling in for Brown and D'Antoni, who announced the longtime NBA coach and executive will remain on his staff - as long as the Lakers beat Houston, D'Antoni joked.
Bickerstaff's job is secure, and the Lakers finally are starting to play with a flair worthy of their loaded roster, even while point guard Steve Nash missed his eighth straight game with a small fracture in his leg.
The Lakers already are running a significant portion of D'Antoni's playbook, and it showed in a second straight free-flowing victory for a team that followed an 0-8 preseason with a 1-4 start, leading to Brown's dismissal just nine days ago. The Lakers scored 114 points while beating Phoenix two days ago.
With an offensive rebound with 5 1/2 minutes to play, Bryant recorded his first triple-double since Nov. 3, 2010, at Sacramento. The NBA's fifth-leading career scorer was in top form, breaking down defenders and hitting acrobatic shots with the flair of his best games.
But Bryant doesn't have to win games by himself, and the rest of the Lakers were sharp as well. Howard attacked the basket relentlessly while his teammates set him up for high-percentage shots, and Metta World Peace contributed 15 points.
With a smooth jumper in the second half, Gasol became the 10th foreign-born player and the first Spaniard to score 15,000 NBA points. The four-time All-Star has won two titles with the Lakers, and the Staples Center fans gave him an ovation when his achievement was announced.
Starting point guard Darius Morris scored a career-high 12 points while doing a decent defensive job on Jeremy Lin, who had 10 assists but just five points on 2-of-9 shooting.
NOTES: Houston concludes its three-game trip Monday at Utah. ... Shortly after D'Antoni confirmed Bickerstaff is staying with the team, the Lakers formally announced Dan D'Antoni will join the staff as an assistant. Mike D'Antoni's older brother has been in practice with the Lakers since Thursday. ... Houston C Omer Asik left the game in the first half with a cut over his right eye, but returned for the second half after getting five stitches.

New Mexico Tech Partners into Adaptive Optics Commercialization, Sept. 28, 2006
Right: Gary Loos, an optical scientist with New Mexico Tech's Magdalena Ridge Observatory, who also is currently serving as principal investigator of the CIAO project.
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 28, 2006 – While "adaptive optics" isn't yet a household word, most people would be surprised to discover just how much of a major role the burgeoning technology is expected to soon play in common applications and products such as high-speed communications, high-powered lasers, chemical analyzers, and imaging systems.
Adaptive optics technology commonly uses "flexible mirrors" that can be electronically controlled and adjusted to compensate, correct, and refine optical systems in telescopes, microscopes, or cameras to produce sharply defined images.
In an effort to remain at the forefront of adaptive optics, and also in response to the calls from the White House to the halls of Congress to rebuild our nation's lead in science and mathematics, New Mexico Tech has opted to form a collaborative push to establish a pilot industrial center for adaptive optics to stimulate higher education in the burgeoning field, as well as create new high-tech jobs in the state.
The initiative, which recently received seed funding from the Technology Research Collaborative (TRC), proposes to set up the Commercialization and Industrialization of Adaptive Optics (CIAO) Center to build new business applications and develop marketable products from novel adaptive optics systems.
AgilOptics, Inc., a small business located in Albuquerque, will be the facility manager for a pilot CIAO Center, while New Mexico Tech will administer the operation's funding, which is expected to be garnered through several state, federal, and private industry sources.
In addition, collateral support in the form of expertise provided by consultants and advisors will be provided to the project by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory through an existing Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) that the lab maintains with the state research university in Socorro.
Initial plans call for the CIAO Center to be located in Albuquerque, housed in AgilOptics' current facility and eventually within the Kirtland Air Force Base Technology Park, near many prominent businesses and organizations which are already recognized for their work in adaptive optics.
"The CIAO Center will be a place where local, national, or international businesses that want to try and develop adaptive optics upgrades for their products will be able to come and participate with staff scientists and engineers to learn how they can put adaptive optics to best use," said Gary Loos, an optical scientist with New Mexico Tech's Magdalena Ridge Observatory who also is currently serving as principal investigator of the CIAO project.
"The theme over our door will be 'Bring me products,'" Loos and his fellow CIAO staffers have proclaimed.
Loos is joined in managing the adaptive optics pilot project by Dennis Mansell from AgilOptics, who is in charge of the commercial side of the project and is responsible for selecting and funding initial customers for the CIAO Center.
"We have constant requests from our current commercial customers to test their ideas for new optical systems benefiting from adaptive optics in a bread-board laboratory setting before committing to starting a new product development," said Mansell. "The CIAO Center will provide a realistic way for these companies to pursue their ideas, and, thus, generate opportunities for new product lines to be developed."
The CIAO Center is currently being set up through the TRC-provided seed funding as a pilot-scale facility to work with one or two selected businesses to bring their developing adaptive optics applications commercial realization, allowing the center's staff to learn by experience what it takes to establish a much larger operation.

Foxborough slams National Grid for outages and utility's response after Hurricane Sandy
By Michele Morgan Bolton
Globe Correspondent /
November 3, 2012
A National Grid crew works in Norwell Tuesday.
Foxborough officials ripped into National Grid after last week's storm, blaming the utility company and its "antiquated" equipment for the third major power outage in the town in a year and what they say was an inadequate ground response to get the lights back on.
A complaint will be filed with the state Department of Public Utilities, Town Manager Kevin Paicos said.
"The assurances they gave us last year are now ringing hollow,'' Paicos said. "There is no credibility there at all. It's gone."
Foxborough selectmen wrangled with the utility in 2011 after week-long blackouts from Tropical Storm Irene and a Halloween snowstorm crippled residents and businesses. Company executives promised that fixes to infrastructure, including the Union Loop, a network of power lines that feed 12 towns including Foxborough, would stem more problems.
But five of the loop's 12 feeds went down again during Hurricane Sandy, blacking out 75 percent of the town's customers, Paicos said. Further, no repair trucks were seen anywhere in the town either before, during, or immediately after the storm, he said.
Tom Coughlin, a National Grid liaison assigned to the town, apologized during an emergency meeting on Tuesday with selectmen and other town officials for the failures. He also took responsibility for erroneous information the company disseminated that restoring power would be a multiple-day effort, causing Superintendent Debra Spinelli to cancel school unnecessarily on Tuesday.
"Rest assured that National Grid takes this seriously, and I expect the regulators will really come down hard on us to make sure we get it right next time,'' Coughlin said at the meeting.
Last summer, state Attorney General Martha Coakley recommended that the state Department of Public Utilities issue a $16 million fine to National Grid for its response to Irene in August 2011 and the October 2011 snowstorm. Coakley also urged that utility NStar be fined $9.7 million for its response to the two storms. The Legislature also passed a new storm response statute, sponsored by Norwood Representative John Rogers, a member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, aimed at expediting response times of companies that fix damaged and downed wires so that Massachusetts residents aren't without power for too long after storms.
Foxborough wasn't the only south suburb where a significant number of homes lost power last week.
Norwell was hit hard, with 3,424 National Grid customers out of a total of 4,400 without electricity, according to Fire Chief Andrew Reardon. Still, local public safety officials said they were thankful that the town had "dodged a bullet" because storm damage was so minimal, compared with what it might have been.
At the height of the storm on Monday, 2,419 National Grid customers in Abington were without power, as well as 2,206 in West Bridgewater and 3,394 in Whitman, officials said. Some 2,400 National Grid employees hit the streets on Tuesday statewide to do repair work, including line and tree crews, according to the company.
Some towns fared better this time compared with the aftermath of Irene. Mansfield reported 36 outages out of its municipal power company's 9,500 customer accounts. During Irene, 7,250 customers were without power at one time or another, town officials said.
"Since Irene, we carefully analyzed places where we had issues and went in to strengthen them,'' said Town Manager William Ross.
In Walpole, 14 percent of the town's 24,000 residents lost power during Sandy but utility company NStar had the lights back up quickly, Town Administrator Michael Boynton said.
In Brockton, 3,600 of the city's National Grid customers lost power, said Mayor Linda Balzotti — considerably less than the 18,000 left in the dark after Irene.
"It was a different type of storm,'' Balzotti said. "But we were very fortunate."
Stoughton also fared better with Hurricane Sandy than with Irene, when 10,000 customers were without power for the better part of a week in August 2011. At the height of Sandy Monday, about 2,100 customers were without power, a number that decreased to about 600 Tuesday and to just over 100 Wednesday morning, according to Stoughton police Lieutenant Robert Devine, a member of the Stoughton Emergency Management team.
"It was like night and day," Devine said of the impact from the two storms.
In Dedham, 460, or about 4 percent, of the town's NStar customers lost power, a far cry from the 5,000 who were in the dark after Irene. In a statement, Town Administrator William Keegan said operational changes implemented over the past year appear to have resulted in a more efficient response time from NStar that was coordinated with local teams.
In Foxborough, town officials worked with National Grid for months earlier this year to cut back trees around electrical wires in an effort to avoid power outages, and utility workers also trimmed along the Union Loop. But still the equipment failed, raising the question of whether an overhaul is needed, said a frustrated James DeVellis, chairman of the Board of Selectmen.
"The Union Loop is equivalent to an old Chevy," DeVellis said. "There are only so many parts to put on it to make it work."
People now expect Foxborough to have major power failures, judging from the news crews that flock there for storms, he said. That makes the town seem like a joke.
"I'm angry, and the people are angry,'' said DeVellis, who has called for a National Grid representative to appear at the next selectmen's meeting. "I'm sick of it. I'm tired of it. I just don't see the love coming back to Foxborough."
Resident Pattiann Malynn said she is also frustrated.
"I am appreciative for all the town departments and National Grid crews who worked so hard to protect our health and well-being,'' she said. "But I am also deeply disappointed that the Union Loop continues to be a problem, and the level of communication from National Grid is unacceptable."
As of Wednesday night, complete power was restored in Foxborough, according to Fire Chief Roger Hatfield.

LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Yale Men's Swimming and Diving team won the Bucknell Invitational for the second straight year, pulling away from the talented host team in the final seven events on Sunday.
Yale finished with 1,591.5 points to Bucknell's 1,431.5. LaSalle, Georgetown and Delaware rounded out the top five. The Bulldogs faced tougher competition at this year's invitational. No Yale swimmer won multiple individual events at the three-day meet. But the entire team rose to the challenge, and scored 41.5 more points than it did at the 2012 Bucknell Invitational.
The diving squad competed in the 1-meter final on Sunday evening. Senior Tyler Pramer finished in third place, sophomore James McNelis took fifth, and freshman Anthony Mercadante took eighth.
The last round of swimming finals began with the 1,650-yard freestyle. Freshman Ben Lerude displayed his great potential in the event, finishing in third place with a time of 15:39.41. Sophomore Brian Hogan and junior Rob Harder took fourth and fifth place. Sophomore William Yang scored points with a 16th place finish, and senior Danny Clarke was seconds away from scoring.
The 200-yard backstroke was one of the highlights of the meet for the Elis. Sophomore Kevin Stang and junior Mike Lazris placed first and second. Harder finished in fifth place, and freshman Alex Schultz took seventh place. Senior Andy Wingerson also scored points with a 23rd place finish.
Bucknell, facing a 92-point deficit, struck back in the 100-yard freestyle. A pack of Bucknell swimmers placed second, third, fourth and fifth in the event. Freshman Aaron Greenberg was the first Bulldog to finish, in sixth place with a time of 46.75. Sophomore Victor Zhang, freshman Oscar Miao and senior Pat Killian finished eighth, 13th and 19th, respectively.
Three Elis finished in the top 10 in the 200-yard breaststroke. Junior Andrew Heymann finished in third place, followed by junior Ronald Tsui in seventh and freshman Alex Goss in tenth. Senior Danny McDermott, sophomore Kendrick McDonald, and freshman Nick Sehlinger also added points to Yale's total. Heymann's time of 2:01.63 was nearly a second faster than his winning swim at Columbia on Nov. 16.
Yale was the best-represented team in the 200-yard butterfly 'A' final: four swimmers qualified for the top heat. Junior Alwin Firmansyah finished second with a time of 1:49.14. Lerude, Becker and Schultz pushed each other for the entire race and took fifth, sixth and seventh.
The Bulldogs ended the meet with a victory in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Greenberg, Firmansyah, Harder and Heymann won the race with a time of 3:02.75.
Tim Wise, the Robert J. H. Kiphuth Director of Men's swimming, said that his swimmers will head back to New Haven with a better understanding of what they must do to swim their best possible races.
"We made some mistakes, and had some great races. The swimmers will keep both in mind as they move forward with their training," Wise said.
The team gets a break from competition next weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday, but will return to action on Dec. 7 for a meet at Boston University.

1. Remove the petrol tank (and seat if necessary) to gain access to the ignition coil, condensor and wiring. 2. For safety, disconnect the battery, if fitted (preferably both terminals). 3. Remove the spark plug. 4. Remove the alternator rotor cover (if fitted). 5. Loosen the auto-advance centre bolt. Rotate the engine to the correct full advance timing position for your machine (see table on page 6), using one of these methods: • Models from 1967 on: use the marks provided for strobe timing on the rotor & chaincase (inside the rotor cover). Unless these marks are known to be accurate it is recommended that they are checked for correct alignment. These marks should line up at the full advance position, check using one of the methods below and, if necessary, re-mark the rotor. • Models from 1969 on: use the timing plug on the left-hand crankcase • Use a degree disc on the crankshaft / camshaft (see table on page 6) • Use a dial guage down the spark plug hole (see table on page 6) 5. Remove kickstart, gear lever and outer timing cover. 6. Remove the contact-breaker plate and lead from the outer timing cover. 7. Taking the ignition trigger assembly, insert a small cable tie into the two holes in front of the connector block on the ignition trigger. This will be used later to secure the two wires to the plate. 8. Fit the ignition trigger plate with the adjustable slots at approx. 6 & 12 o'clock, using the original pillar fixings & washers, positioned in the centre of the slots (to allow for adjustment in either direction). Handle the trigger with care. • RED EARTHING WIRE • CRIMP CONNECTORS & INSULATORS • LARGE & SMALL CABLE TIES • CABLE TIE ADHESIVE MOUNTING BASE 3
9. Remove the centre bolt securing the auto-advance unit. Remove the complete auto-advance unit with an extractor bolt or by tapping it gently sideways. 10. Fit the magnetic rotor in place of the auto-advance unit, with the magnets/ red marks positioned at approx. 3 & 9 o'clock. The magnetic rotor has a male taper which fits into the taper in the end of the camshaft. There is no keyway, allowing it to be fitted in any desired position. 11. Using the ¼" washer and the appropriate bolt (UNF or BSF), pass the bolt through the centre of the magnetic rotor and into the thread in the camshaft. Finger tighten only at this stage. The magnetic rotor centre thread (metric M8) is provided for attaching a puller, if the rotor should need to be removed for engine servicing, etc. 12. Replace the outer timing cover, gear lever & kickstart. 13. Check that the engine is still at the correct full advance position, then adjust the magnetic rotor position so that one of the red marks is centrally behind the static timing hole at 9 o'clock (see fig. 4, page 7). If your machine's camshaft rotates clockwise, refer to fig. 3. Gently tap the rotor into the taper & tighten the centre bolt, using a 3/16″ allen key. WIRING: 14. All connections must be of the highest quality, use crimped or soldered connections; twisted wires will not give a satisfactory operation. Avoid coiling up surplus lead.

Microsoft is trying to skewer Google as a lousy holiday shopping guide in its latest attempt to divert more traffic to its Bing search engine.
The attack started Wednesday with a marketing campaign focused on a recent change in the way Google operates the part of its search engine devoted to shopping results. The revisions require merchants to pay Google to have their products listed in the shopping section.
In its new ads, Microsoft Corp. contends the new approach betrays Google Inc.�s longstanding commitment to provide the most trustworthy results on the Web, even if it means forgoing revenue. To punctuate its point, Microsoft is warning consumers that they risk getting �scroogled� if they rely on Google�s shopping search service.
The message will be highlighted in TV commercials scheduled to run on NBC and CNN and newspaper ads in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. The blitz also will appear on billboards and online, anchored by a new website, Scroogled.com.
The barbs are injecting more antagonism into an already bitter rivalry between two of the world�s best-known and most powerful technology companies.
Google�s search engine is dominant on the Internet, and Bing runs a distant second. Microsoft�s Office and Windows software remains an integral part of personal computers, but Google has been reducing the importance of those programs and PCs with the success of Web-based services and its Android operating system for smartphones and tablet computers.
Google doesn�t require websites to pay to be listed in its main database, the index that provides results for requests entered into its all-purpose search box. A query made there for a particular product such as a computer will still include results from merchants who haven�t paid for the privilege of being included.
But that�s not the case for someone who clicks on a tab to enter Google�s shopping-only section, which is designed to compare prices and offer other insights such as identifying sites that offer free shipping. Searches there are confined to paying merchants. That means results from sites, including Web retailing giant Amazon.com Inc., aren�t displayed unless they pay. Amazon has only occasionally paid to have some of its wares listed in Google�s shopping section. Zappos, a site owned by Amazon, has been more willing to pay the price to be listed in Google�s shopping results.
Google defends the fee-based approach as a way to encourage merchants to provide more comprehensive and accurate information about what they�re selling.
�I think you just get a well-organized set of product information, ways to buy it, and really have a great experience there,� CEO Larry Page said during a conference call with analysts last month.
In a statement, Google said it�s pleased with the response to the new shopping system, which offers listings from about 100,000 sellers.
Google, like Microsoft, also accepts payments for ads that are triggered by specific search terms and appear to the right or on top of regular search results. Those are labeled in colored letters as ads. The same distinctions aren�t made in Google�s shopping section.
Since its inception in 1998, Google has tried to cast itself as a force for good while depicting Microsoft as a ruthless empire.
But Google is less cuddly now that it�s established itself as the Internet�s main gateway � and a well-oiled moneymaking machine. The Mountain View, Calif., company�s search engine is so influential that government regulators in the U.S. and Europe are investigating whether Google has been stifling competition by giving special preference to its own services in search results.
Microsoft, which faced its own antitrust inquiries more than a decade ago, is among the companies that prodded the investigation of Google. This time, it�s pouncing on Google for straying from its own principles.
Google began limiting its shopping-only results to paying merchants in mid-October. The change coincides with what is expected to be the most lucrative holiday shopping season on the Web yet.

Revolver Lord knows that many of the musicians taking part in this year's Revolver Golden Gods have done their fair share of interviews overs the years, but in the commercial for the 2013 ceremony, they get to experience life from the other side of the microphone in what amounts to the world's most metal press conference. The awesome and hilarious commercial finds host Chris Jericho concluding a press conference and then taking questions from "the media." However, the media for this event are some very well known faces, with everyone from Anthrax 's Scott Ian to Halestorm 's Lzzy Hale throwing questions at the host. The spot offers a who's who of the hard rock and metal genres, with Ian, Five Finger Death Punch 's Jeremy Spencer, Zakk Wylde , John 5 , In This Moment 's Maria Brink, Hale and Sebastian Bach all having speaking parts while various other members of Five Finger Death Punch, Halestorm and other bands can be seen in the background. The commercial in general offers a humorous look at not only some of the talent playing this year's ceremony, but also mentions some of the major names like Metallica and Rob Zombie that will be receiving honors. The fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards show takes place at Los Angeles' Club Nokia May 2 and will air on AXS TV, XBOX Live and Facebook . For ticket information, click here .

Glassdoor.com recently released its inaugural report highlighting the "25 Best Jobs in America for 2015." The report identified specific jobs with the highest overall Glassdoor Job Score, which was determined by weighting three factors equally – earning potential, career opportunities, and the number of job openings. The Glassdoor Job Score is based on a 5-point scale (5.0=best job, 1.0=bad job).
Given the strong job market IT pros have experienced over the past few years, it's not surprising to find that a good portion of the top 25 jobs fall solidly into the technology field, including such jobs as software and mobile developers, data scientists, network engineers and project managers. In this slideshow, we've featured nine tech jobs Glassdoor has identified as part of its best jobs in America in 2015.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in the remote workforce as developments in technology have given employees the freedom to work anywhere, anytime. ... More >>
In order to attract Gen Z talent, employers will need to take into account that this group of the workforce may expect a different set of benefits. ... More >>

Wilder vs Fury: Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury, WBC American champion vs British lineal champion, in a world heavyweight clash.
Both fighters go into the fight unbeaten in their combined 67 professional bouts in a fight expected to be watched by millions across the US and the world. It's on Saturday, December 1, 2018 (but Sunday, December 2 in the UK). Not long to wait.
Staples Center (Los Angeles).
Despite the fight being announced in mid-August, it took until the end of September for confirmation of the host venue, with Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Convention Centre the other possibility.
Wilder has yet to feature at the Staples Center during his 40-fight career, while Fury's only previous appearance across the pond came at Madison Square Garden, New York City, where he defeated American Steve Cunningham in 2013, lifting himself off the canvas in arguably his most exciting fight yet to record a seventh round KO.
In addition to the NHL's LA Kings, the 21,000-capacity multi-purpose arena is home to the NBA's LA Lakers and LA Clippers, and has previously hosted boxing hall of famers such as Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.
What TV channel will it be on?
In the UK, the fight will be aired live on BT Sport Box Office, which is available across BT, Sky and Virgin Media. Paying viewers will be able to watch the fight on the BT Sport website.
In the US, Showtime will be broadcasting the event, likewise on their pay-per-view platform.
You can find out more about how to watch here.
What time is the fight likely to start?
As always, these big fights are at the mercy of the undercard and how long the build-up takes. But, in the UK, we expect it to begin at 5am GMT on Sunday, December 2.
For whose watching in the United States, it will be on Saturday, 9pm local time or midnight EST.
Deontay Wilder has warned Tyson Fury he is gravely mistaken if he believes his tension at Wednesday's press conference means he is running scared.
Wilder lost his composure while the smiling, relaxed Fury spoke over him at the final press conference for Saturday's fight at Los Angeles' Staples Center, leading to the two fighters and their entourages having to be separated after a heated confrontation.
To the neutral observer, the WBC heavyweight champion cut an unsettled figure, and the 30-year-old Fury departed convinced he had succeeded in unnerving his opponent, even insisting Wilder had deliberately attempted to jeopardise their fight.
Wilder had, regardless, also been similarly angry before one of his finest victories, over Bermane Stiverne, and he said: "If Fury's team think all that stuff was a sign of weakness then I cannot wait to show them strength on Saturday. They know it was not weakness; they just needed something to say.
"I'm not afraid to lose my unbeaten record. We all want to stay undefeated but I do not dwell on it. I can lose and comeback. Look at (Muhammad) Ali and others who lost and came back.

Avatar, King of the Box Office?
On January 26, 2010, the film Avatar officially topped Titanic as the top-grossing film of all-time at the box office. However, the following day, Forbes.com published an article entitled Is Avatar Really King of the Box Office? The article explains how using calculations such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), one can show how the film Gone With the Wind has grossed more when the value of the box office receipts are adjusted for inflation.
Task List
In this lesson you will examine the causes behind and the consequences of inflation. You will also learn to use the Consumer Price Index and the GDP Deflator in order to calculate changes in the general price level from year to year and over time.
Start by watching a short trailer to the film Avatar. Most of us are familiar with the film Avatar, early in 2010 it became the highest grossing film of all time. However according to an article from Forbes entitled, Is Avatar Really King of the Box Office? There exists a discrepancy between the value of the dollar between one year and another. The change in the purchasing power of a dollar results from inflation or deflation, but what is inflation? How do economists calculate changes in the value of dollar domininated goods and services?
Avatar's total box office receipts according to BoxOfficeMojo is $760,507,625 domestically. However, when this figure is adjusted for inflation by adjusting the 2011 ticket price to the 1939 ticket price, the year which Gone With the Wind was released, Avatar drops to number 14 on the list with an adjusted gross of $22,368,700. Gone With the Wind was released multiple times over the years and has totaled almost $200 million (unadjusted) in total domestic box office. When the total for Gone With the Wind is adjusted for inflation into current dollars, the total gross is $1,618,377,500. The average cost of a ticket to see Gone With the Wind in 1939, was just $0.23. Today, the average ticket cost $7.86 (May, 2011). BoxOfficeMojo estimates that the number of tickets sold for Gone With the Wind was over 200 million and that Avatar sold just under 100 million. When the data is adjusted so that output (tickets sold) is basis for their list of the top movies of all time, Gone With the Wind is easily number one.
So why is there such a difference in the prices for goods and services in the 1930s as opposed to the prices which we see today? The short answer to this question is inflation. Inflation is defined today as a sustained rise in the general price level of all the goods and services produced in an economy. The rise in prices can be attributed usually to an increase in the amount of money and credit relative to the available goods and services. There are other causes of inflation, however these causes are attributed to changes in supply and demand for goods and services. Cost-push inflation is inflation causes by rising costs of production. Demand-pull inflation is inflation caused by increasing demand for output or "too much money chasing too few goods."
To better grasp the general idea of inflation, watch a quick 1-minute video from investopedia.com . Given that inflation exists and has been persistent over the past century, how do we measure the rate of inflation? When new money and credit is created and circulates in the economy it does not affect the prices of all goods and services equally over the short run and even to some extent over the long run. Imagine if the amount of money is doubled, that does not necessarily mean that everything will cost twice as much. This is known as the non-neutrality of money, which makes it necessary for us to have some measure of how the prices are changing as new money and credit enters in the economy. The most common measure of price inflation used today is known as the consumer price index or CPI. The consumer price index is a measure, which is used to calculate the changes in the price level of everyday goods and services that are purchased by households. The CPI consists of a basket of market goods and services, the prices of which are weighted and averaged and then compared against different time periods. For further explanation, please visit the Minneapolis Federal Reserve website .
A second commonly used measure of the rate of inflation is the GDP Deflator. The deflator is based of a Gross Domestic Product or GDP, which is the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a calendar year. GDP attempts to represent the total amount of output of a country in a given year by tabulating the value of all new goods and services which have been produced that year (goods which are re-sold or used goods are not a part of GDP). Nominal GDP is a multiplication of the all the goods and services sold that year multiplied by the prices in which they are sold. But because prices fluctuate over time, in order to calculate the actual growth in output known as real GDP, it becomes necessary to adjust the nominal figure into real terms. Real GDP is calculated by multiplying the quantity of goods sold by a constant price level, usually a given base year. The GDP deflator is used then to calculate the rate of inflation between one year and another. Learn how to calculate Nominal GDP, Real GDP and the GDP Deflator here. For more information, please visit the website of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank .
The website Box Office Mojo uses a different method than to calculate their adjusted box office gross. Instead of being concerned with a basket of goods or a measure of the overall price level, they look specifically at the average ticket price and adjust their box office gross figures according to an estimated amount of tickets sold. Because there is no way to perfectly calculate the effects of inflation on the price level, even adjustments made by CPI and the GDP deflator are imperfect as there are at all times a number of different factors that could lead to a discrepancy in prices.
One should always be alert to the reasoning behind changes in prices for different goods and services. Under a system of flexible prices, the price of any product is always changing based on changes in supply and demand (think of day-to-day changes in the prices of stocks and commodities). Money is a medium exchange used in a market economy operating under a price system. Changes in prices communicate information to buyers and sellers about the relative scarcity or abundance of goods. Low prices are a sign of relative abundance and high prices signal relative scarcity, each tells consumers and producers how they should model their behavior as they go about employing resources to meet their desired ends. Just as the value of goods and services respond to changes in supply and demand, money is also subject to similar changes. The underlying cause of a sustained increase in the prices for all goods and services in the economy is often an indicator of excessive money creation. Inflation measures such as CPI and the GDP Deflator are helpful in gathering information in order to give one a general idea of price level from one year to the next. However, any measure of inflation is imperfect in one way or another.
Ignorance of inflation can lead to distorted interpretations of data, which can lead to misinformation about the true nature of economic indicators. People who see substantial rises in incomes, home prices, fuel prices etc. should always be aware of whether or not these changes reflect adjusted or unadjusted data. One might think that the prices of consumer goods are rising rapidly, but if incomes are rising faster then the real value of consumer goods has fallen and become relatively more abundant, meaning that we are wealthier.

GMC's smallest SUV, but don't call it a cute ute.
Bolstered by its good fuel economy and available features, the Terrain is a solid competitor in the small-SUV segment. The Terrain, which shares a platform with the Chevrolet Equinox, comes with a choice of two good engines. The previous Terrain V-6 made do with 3.0 liters and 264 hp, but the 2013 model ditches that for a 301-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 with the same fuel economy as that of the outgoing model. The 2.4-liter in-line four — with up to 32 mpg highway — is unchanged. The Terrain's cabin is tastefully appointed and features plenty of cubbyholes for storage. IntelliLink voice-activated infotainment continues to be optional, and GMC has added safety features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and optional forward-collision and lane-departure warning, as well as rear parking assist. It has a second-row seat that slides fore and aft about eight inches so you can choose to have maximum rear legroom or maximum storage in the cargo hold. Of course, the second row also folds flat. The Terrain is larger than many of its competitors, however, so storage shouldn't be an issue. GMC has added a Denali trim level for 2013. It has the same two engines, an upgraded suspension, special eighteen- or nineteen-inch wheels, IntelliLink, and unique exterior and interior trim.
Ford Edge
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Mazda CX-7

ABS; a tire-pressure monitoring system; stability and traction control; rollover mitigation; a rearview camera; and front, side, and side curtain air bags are standard. Available on certain models are rear park assist, lane-departure warning, forward-collision alert, blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Last week, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom accepted the award for Founder of the Year at the Crunchies in San Francisco.
As he accepted it, dozens of people raised their iPhones and Androids to Instagram the moment.
But Systrom didn't. In fact, he hadn't posted a photo on Instagram all year.
He broke his monthlong photo fast last Saturday when he posted a picture celebrating the birthday of his girlfriend, Nicole Schuetz. That's pretty sweet, if Systrom is making an exception for Schuetz.
He hasn't posted a photo since. In the past, he's typically posted a photo every two to three days.
So, what's up? Why did he slow down?
We didn't get a chance to ask Systrom about his photo abstinence at the Crunchies. A Facebook spokesperson suggested nothing was amiss, telling us that Systrom has been otherwise active on Instagram—for example, by liking and commenting on photos.
Since that's a boring explanation, we're left to come up with one on our own. Here are a few theories about why Systrom has been so silent:
- Systrom may just want to understand what the Instagram experience is like for users who only view photos. Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann did something similar, when he deleted his account and started over to get a feel for what using the service was like for brand-new users.
- Could Systrom be secretly testing something new—something he can't share publicly with the world yet? That would be exciting, obviously. His photo blackout came right as Twitter was prepping and launching Vine, a service for sharing short video clips which some are saying could be the next Instagram.
- Or maybe Systrom just got bored with Instagram. We'd understand that, too.

Bulldogs' Star Sophomore Finishes Eighth at Heptagonal Championships
PRINCETON, N.J.—With his eighth-place finish on Saturday at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships (Heps), Yale men's cross country team sophomore Kevin Dooney was named to the the All-Ivy second team. Dooney was just seven seconds shy of being named to the All-Ivy first team, as Ivy League rules state that the top seven finishers at Heps are named to the All-Ivy first team, while the eighth- through 14th-place finishers are named to the second team.
Dooney finished in 23:56.6, finishing first on the team for the third time this season and easily outrunning his previous 8K personal record—a 24:32.4 set at the Pre-National Invitational on Oct. 19. Dooney was in 13th place after the first mile of Saturday's race—and in 12th after the third mile—before doing some of his best running in the race's final two miles, during which he moved up four spots.
"Dooney ran really tough today," said Head Men's Cross Country Coach Paul Harkins. "His workouts have been going really well, and he had his sights set on finishing in the top 10. It was an awesome run and the highest finish for a Yale guy at Heps in quite some time."
After being one of just two freshmen to run the 8K in under 25:00 last season, Dooney has quickly progressed to become one of the team's top athletes this season. After finishing eighth on the team at the Harvard-Yale season opener, Dooney finished fifth on the team at the Iona Meet of Champions before placing first on the team at the Paul Short Invitational, Pre-National Invitational and Heps—setting personal records at each race.
Dooney also emerged as one of the Elis' standouts—as well as one of the better distance runners in Yale history—as a freshman during last year's track and field season. Remarkably, last year alone, Dooney ran the fifth-fastest outdoor 10,000-meter race, 12th-fastest outdoor 5,000-meter race, 12th-fastest indoor 3,000-meter race and ninth-fastest indoor 5,000-meter race in Yale history.
Dooney will seek to continue to add to his already impressive list of accomplishments at the NCAA Division I Northeast Regional Championships at New York City's Van Cortlandt Park on Nov. 15.

I saw his work at the Art Center Undergraduate Graduation show and noticed it immediately due to Ramon's clean and professional presentation. I really liked his Mercado Negro project (after the jump), a 2 week on-taking that deals with reclaiming an ordinary, everyday object and transforming it into a whole new object.
