The cable television industry in 2006 donated close to $2 billion in cash, services and support to local communities, up more than $600 million from 2004, according to a research study conducted by the Association of Cable Communicators and Cision US.
The study, conducted by the ACC in an effort to quantify cable’s philanthropic contribution to communities, found that cable system operators and programming networks contributed a total of $1,994,794,418 to their communities during 2006, compared to $1,361,698,733 in 2004, the first year the research project was conducted.
Other results show that the industry overall provided $159,302,000 in support to schools and educational institutions across the nation, an increase of 29% over the two-year period from 2004. Specifically schools and educational institutions received the equivalent of $48,990,000 in free broadband and cable services.
The cable industry also contributed another $110,312,000 in educational expenditures to schools and educational institutions. In 2006 cash and in-kind support by the cable industry to charities, non-profits and educational institutions totaled $925,236,000, an increase of 122% from 2004.
Public service announcements were valued at $897,106,000 in 2006, an 11% increase from 2004. Cable industry companies also provided $8,513,000 in the value of volunteer time to community organizations. Rounding out the survey results was an additional $4,637,000 contribution of broadband services to libraries and youth centers, an increase of 231% since 2004.
Data for the study was obtained by contacting executives at both cable systems and programming networks. ACC sought to quantify the cable industry’s philanthropic contribution to communities via a national questionnaire conducted from March 2007 to March 2008. Results, based on total industry subscribers figures, were obtained from 24% of programming networks and 72% of cable operators.

Cognitive thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication – the four Cs – are achieved only when students are involved in activities that help them learn by doing hands-on tasks.
Tell me and I forget; Teach me and I remember; Involve me and I learn said Benjamin Franklin. And perhaps every teacher in their career span has tried to imbibe these wise words in their teaching methods. Cognitive thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication – the four Cs – are achieved only when students are involved in activities that help them learn by doing hands-on tasks. As a teacher, to be able to involve and engage, one is at the mercy of student data. Data on their topic-wise progress, strengths and weaknesses, confidence level of a student in a certain topic and time the spent by a student on a certain topic. Keeping a track of all this for each student is a huge task. However, good use of technology has played a vital role in making this task easier.
There has been an evident shift in the approach towards quality of education in our country and data, forms the core of this shift. Use of education related data for evidence-based policy making by government bodies has increased over the years. All this was possible due to the availability of technical knowledge and software to collect and process this data in a shorter period of time. There are several different factors that affect learning outcomes of students. These factors can either be intrinsic or extrinsic in nature.
A research published in 2017 by UNESCO (UNESCO. Analyzing and Utilizing Assessment Data for Better Learning Outcomes. Open Access under Attribution Share Alike. Paris. 2017) for 10 countries in Asia Pacific identifies the factors that are most influential in the learning outcome of students from these countries. One of the most crucial findings of this research shows that the major extrinsic factors contributing to the learning outcome of students in India are: School Type – Private/Government, Household Income and Spending Capacity and Parents’ Education. These factors are also monitored on a national level by specific bodies in India. The Department of Educational Management Information System (DEMIS) uses an in-house software called District Information System for Education (DISE) to manage and process data collected for various different extrinsic factors of students in various regions of India. Some examples of data collected are gender, age, social category of students, etc. along with educational and professional qualifications of teachers and infrastructure facilities in schools, etc.
However one must acknowledge that the intrinsic factors are the key to developing the right learning path for each student. The assessment data of students along with their study patterns are studied and an effective personalized path of learning is delivered to the student through the education system. A vast amount of data regarding student learning behaviour needs to be collected and monitored to enable such personalized learning systems. This is where technology and education can work together to play a part in tapping the full potential of each learner.
For a digital solutions provider, it is important to strike a balance between Content and Technology to make the lives of teachers easier and augment the learning experience of learners. Thanks to their hard work, teachers are no longer required to spend time reviewing each student's daily progress and scores to provide personalized instruction for the next day of class. Artificial intelligence and adaptive technology are making learning today more effective, efficient, and personalized. Artificial Intelligence enabled solutions like ALEKS, SmartBook, LearnSmart, etc. adjust content and gather data in real-time. This data provides a complete picture of students' abilities across a wide range of skill areas. Using this data it analyses specific learning needs for each student and customizes learning content. It thus empowers instructors with tools and insights to build and implement highly-customized learning experiences.
Different segments of data can be made available about a student using these Artificially Intelligent systems. These segments can be categorized as: Academic Performance in terms of scores, Time spent studying – (on the platform), Topic-wise learning outcome, Actual Cognitive Understanding of a student, All these three segments can be made available in two formats – either Student-wise or as Class Average.
The pie chart depicts the topic-wise class average. Every segment represents a topic and the coloured portion represents the topics mastered while the grey sections are the topics that are still to be learned. This is a dynamic graph on the platform which means that – each of the segments in the pie can be clicked on to get the deeper insight on each topic. Such an analysis helps identify the need areas of a class and pinpoints the topics that your class has mastered and those that need more attention.
There are numerous scientifically proven results and case studies that show that, such data based learning solutions not only help get better grades, but also enable students to enjoy the learning experience. It allows students to learn from their mistakes and practice until they have mastered the topic without the burden of running at the pace of the classroom sessions.

PETERSBURG, Va. - Police in Petersburg, Virginia, are investigating an attempted robbery and shooting linked to a dating app.
Sources told WTVR that the victim thought he was meeting a woman. However, when he arrived to a dark, narrow Petersburg street Wednesday morning, someone was waiting to rob him.
"What happened at 5 o'clock this morning really scared me and got me still nervous," Jacinta Mitchell said from a Ferndale Avenue front porch.
The Mitchell family was awakened by someone banging on the front door just before 5 a.m.
"It was very, very, very, very shocking and scary," Mitchell said about the man yelling that he had been shot and calling out for help.
Mitchell called 911 and her daughter yelled out the locked front door that police and EMS were on the way.
"I didn't open up my door because I didn't know who it was or what was going on," Mitchell explained.
Sources told WTVR that the victim had been using a dating app and thought he was meeting a woman on Leavenworth Street.
However, he found someone that tried to rob him, sources said. The victim was shot in the buttocks and took off running, eventually turning on Ferndale and running about three blocks before stopping at Mitchell's house.
"No idea who he was," Mitchell said. "Never seen him a day in my life."
Similar circumstances happened in the same neighborhood on May 12, 2017.
In that instance, law enforcement warned the public that robbers were using dating websites and meet-up apps to target their victims.
What often starts with a voluptuous photograph of a woman posted on a dating website or app like Plenty of Fish, Tinder and Backpage ends in a robbery on a dark street in Petersburg, police warned at the time.
At that time, Petersburg Police said they were working about five cases, including one involving a man being shot.
Investigators warned that people need to be careful meeting people in an unfamiliar area and to understand they could be targeted for robbery.
A poll released on Tuesday by Morning Consult revealed who the most liked US senators are.
The outlet interviewed nearly 72,000 registered voters since May.
Of the five most liked and five least liked senators in the US, just two are up for reelection this fall (John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida).
Among the five least liked senators, only two have a net approval rating below zero, which means more respondents view them favorably than unfavorably — they just happen to be the five senators who have the highest percentage of respondents who disapprove of their work.
Lauren Conrad is a lot of things: a former reality star, a successful fashion designer, a bestselling author. One thing she's not? A mean girl.
The 26-year-old California native appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live October 16, where she was asked to answer three questions about her former Hills costars. Conrad was given the option to plead the fifth to just one of host Andy Cohen's inquiries.
The Starstruck novelist was first asked about Justin "Bobby" Brescia, 29, Spencer Pratt, 29, and Brody Jenner, 29. "Who would you marry, who do you shag, who do you kill?" Cohen, 44, asked.
"Can I kill myself?" Conrad joked. "I'll plead the fifth."
Conrad was then asked what she really thinks of former BFF Heidi Montag's multiple plastic surgery procedures; the 26-year-old "Higher" singer famously underwent 10 operations in one day in January 2010.
"Well, that's just unkind," Conrad responded. "I thought that she was beautiful before it. I don't think she needed it. But, personal decision."
Conrad was then grilled about Kristin Cavallari, her high school arch nemesis and former Laguna Beach costar, who replaced her as the protagonist on The Hills following her 2009 exit from the MTV smash. (Cavallari, 25, and fiance Jay Cutler, 29, welcomed son Camden Jack on August 8.) "Say three nice things about Kristin Cavallari," Cohen prodded.
"She's really good at losing baby weight. That's true!" said Conrad, who's dating University of Southern California law student William Tell, 32. "She is a very pretty girl." After an apparent pause, Conrad giggled and said, "There's a lot of nice things! I was just trying to get more specific. She dresses really nicely."
Cavallari lost 25 pounds in two months because she "started jogging on the treadmill" when her son was 4 weeks old, she says in the October 22 issue of Us Weekly. The 5-foot-3 star also sticks to healthy eats such as seaweed salad. Plus, "Breast-feeding burns 500 calories a day. That helps!"
The doc, from Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Productions and Creative Differences, features newly restored 4K footage and outtakes, shot by Oscar-winning director William Wyler (The Best Years of Our Lives, Ben-Hur) during the summer of 1943 for his 1944 documentary The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress. Wyler went to Europe to document the air war in progress and flew actual combat missions on B-17s, during which one of his DPs was killed. All of this raw color footage was recently discovered in the vaults of the National Archives.
The Cold Blue premiered at AFI Docs, and will screen at the New York Film Festival Saturday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Sept. 30.
The Cold Blue is produced by Peter Hankoff; executive produced by Allen, Nelson, Carole Tomko, Rocky Collins, Catherine Wyler, Clark Bunting and Dave Harding.

Fiction in English | American writers, 1945- - Texts.
President Trump may complain on Twitter or Fox News that congressional investigations are a “partisan witch hunt,” “presidential harassment,” and a “disgrace,” but few judges will want to hear it.
Of course House Democrats have the legal power to obtain President Trump’s tax returns. And the full, un-redacted Mueller report. And records of Trump’s financial relations with Deutsche Bank and other lenders. And much more.
Citizens are required to comply with congressional subpoenas “to testify fully with respect to matters within the province of proper investigation” just as they are required to comply with judicial subpoenas.
Trump and his political allies argue that Congress has no power to prosecute crimes, and matters under criminal investigation are none of House Democrats’ business. House Democrats have other obviously proper reasons to investigate Trump’s financial interests and the Mueller Report, however.
Congress’s investigative powers are strongest when Congress seeks to expose corruption or mismanagement in the federal government, even if the conduct under investigation is the subject of other active legal proceedings. There is ample basis to suspect that Trump has used the powers of the presidency to enrich himself.
Congress can also investigate corruption and other wrongdoing in the private sector in “surveys of defects in our social, economic or political system for the purpose of enabling the Congress to remedy them,” the Supreme Court said in Watkins, and Congress frequently has. The Senate conducted extensive hearings in the ’50s and ’60s into organized crime and union corruption. Most Americans now just remember those hearings from the Godfather movies, but the hearings resulted in significant legislation. In 1970, Congress enacted the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to close loopholes that made criminal prosecution of crime bosses difficult and to allow private lawsuits by anyone harmed by criminal organizations. In 1974, Congress enacted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) partly to protect pension plans from the sticky fingers of organized crime, which controlled many union pension plans at the time.
House Democrats need not have particular legislation in mind to investigate Trump’s finances or the Mueller Report. It is not at all difficult to imagine legislation that Congress might consider to remedy “defects in our social, economic or political system” that the investigations might reveal.
Congress could enact legislation to require more financial disclosure by presidential candidates, rather than rely on the post-Watergate tradition that presidents and presidential candidates voluntarily making their tax returns public. Trump denied during the 2016 campaign that he had any financial interests in Russia, while his business was in advanced negotiations for an ambitious project in Moscow—a building that would reportedly have been the tallest in Europe. The project would have been enormously profitable to Trump. As a candidate, Trump softened the Republican Party platform’s support for Ukraine in that nation’s conflict with Russia, and spoke favorably of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a figure not widely admired in American politics.
Many voters would like to have known in 2016 of Trump’s negotiations with the Putin government for the proposed project in Moscow.
Congress might enact more specific prohibitions or enforcement mechanisms for the Constitution’s anti-corruption provisions, the emoluments clauses, to prevent any potential for self-dealing by the President and other government officials. Conflicts of interest rules are meant to protect even honest politicians from the subtle tug of self-interest, a tug that Trump shows no desire to resist. Trump’s opulent hotel in downtown Washington has become the home away from home for officials from the world’s most repugnant regimes, despite the ready availability of comparable accommodations nearby at a fraction of the cost. Trump has been very delicate in his criticism of many of those regimes, even in the face of barbaric conduct.
Congress might close tax loopholes or increase appropriations for tax enforcement. It might revisit the independent counsel law to toughen the protection of criminal investigations from political interference.
Congress might do all of that and more or nothing at all, but information about Trump’s finances and the full Mueller Report would inform those decisions.
Trump and his political allies promise to fight congressional investigations tooth and nail, and say that their legal challenges will block any disclosures until well after the 2020 election. Trump argues that any supposed legislative purpose is a “pretext,” and House Democrats just want to inflict political damage.
In other words, if Congress has a valid legislative purpose for an investigation but also has political motives, then so what? When does Congress not have political motives?
Trump’s “pretext” argument is legally flimsy, and maybe frivolous. It’s all he’s got.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Microsoft plans to file a formal complaint with the European Commission Thursday, accusing Google of abusing its position as the region's dominant search engine.
The software giant -- once subject to its own landmark antitrust investigation in the United States and Europe -- claimed in a blog post that Google is preventing rivals from creating a competitive alternative to its search technology. Microsoft operates the two-year-old Bing search engine, which, though a partnership with Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500), is the second-largest search website in the United States and Europe.
Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) cited several examples of what it said was Google's abuse of its dominant position.
For instance, the company claims that Google is impeding fair competition by restricting rival search engines from "properly accessing" the Google-owned YouTube for their search results. Google supposedly won't release YouTube's so-called "metadata," which includes video categories, favorites and ratings.
The company also said that Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) released superior YouTube applications for its own Android platform and Apple's iPhone, but designed a limited YouTube app for Microsoft's Windows Phone platform. Microsoft said it wants to release its own high-quality YouTube app, but it requires access to YouTube's metadata to do that.
"[Google] understands as well as anyone that search engines depend upon the openness of the Web in order to function properly, and it's quick to complain when others undermine this," the company said in its blog. "Unfortunately, Google has engaged in a broadening pattern of walling off access to content and data that competitors need to provide search results to consumers and to attract advertisers."
Microsoft's claims extend beyond search. Both companies compete in the online advertising market, and Microsoft said that Google prevents advertisers from easily porting their ad campaign data to competing platforms, including Microsoft's adCenter.
Many companies buy search ads from Google first, since it has the largest share. But if that data isn't interoperable with competitors' platforms, Microsoft claims many advertisers simply won't bother advertising with anyone other than Google.
