Students who work together and interact online are more likely to be successful in their college classes, according to a study published Jan. 30 in the journal Nature Scientific Reports and co-authored by Manuel Cebrian, a computer scientist at the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego.

Cebrian and colleagues analyzed 80,000 interactions between 290 students in a collaborative learning environment for college courses. The major finding was that a higher number of online interactions was usually an indicator of a higher score in the class. High achievers also were more likely to form strong connections with other students and to exchange information in more complex ways. High achievers tended to form cliques, shutting out low-performing students from their interactions. Students who found themselves shut out were not only more likely to have lower grades; they were also more likely to drop out of the class entirely.

"Elite groups of highly connected individuals formed in the first days of the course," said Cebrian, who also is a Senior Researcher at National ICT Australia Ltd, Australia's Information and Communications Technology Research Centre of Excellence. "For the first time, we showed that there is a very strong correspondence between social interaction and exchange of information - a 72 percent correlation," he said "but almost equally interesting is the fact that these high-performing students form 'rich-clubs', which shield themselves from low-performing students, despite the significant efforts by these lower-ranking students to join them. The weaker students try hard to engage with the elite group intensively, but can't. This ends up having a marked correlation with their dropout rates."

This study co-authored by Luis M. Vaquero, based at Hewlett-Packard UK Labs, shows a way that we might better identify patterns in the classroom that can trigger early dropout alarms, allowing more time for educators to help the student and, ideally, reduce those rates through appropriate social network interventions.

Cebrian's work is part of UC San Diego's wider research effort at the intersection of the computer and social sciences, lead by Prof. James H. Fowler, to enhance our understanding of the ways in which people share information and how this impacts areas of national significance, such as the spread of health-related or political behavior.

With or without Exxon, Iraq Kurds strive for energy autonomy

ARBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Behind the closed doors of their offices in the United States, top executives and lawyers for Exxon Mobil are poring over two sets of contracts, weighing a decision that could shift the balance of power in Iraq.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki last week hastily convened a meeting with Exxon's chief executive Rex Tillerson in a bid to woo back the U.S. major, which had seemed intent on pulling out of the $50 billion West Qurna 1 oilfield in the south, in an area under Baghdad's control.

Since signing for six blocs with the Kurdistan regional government in 2011, Exxon has situated itself on one of Iraq's deepest faultlines, bringing to a head friction between the northern enclave and Baghdad, which says only it has the authority to grant oil contacts and control crude exports.

Industry sources say Maliki has offered Tillerson substantial incentives to stay in Iraq's southern oilfields as long as the company forfeits its assets in the autonomous Kurdish region.

A final decision is due within the next few days, Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi said on Sunday. It remains to be seen which way Exxon's compass will swing. The company has declined to comment on the impending decision.

"The loss of prestige would be huge," said a former U.S. diplomat, contemplating the fallout for Kurdistan if Exxon were to quit the region in favor of Baghdad. "Exxon's presence here levels the political playing field."

As the first major oil company to risk Baghdad's ire by venturing north, Exxon afforded the Kurds a victory in their turf war with the central government over how to exploit Iraq's hydrocarbon riches.

The U.S. major's vote of confidence opened the door for others such as Total, Russia's Gazprom Neft and Chevron Corp, which recently added a third bloc to its Kurdish portfolio and is eyeing further acquisitions.

Three of Exxon's blocs, however, are located in the "disputed areas", an oil-rich band of territory over which both Baghdad and the Kurds claim jurisdiction and where the Iraqi army and Kurdish troops are facing off against each other.

SECURITY CONCERNS

Industry sources say Tillerson raised concerns about security at a meeting in Switzerland with the Iraqi Kurdish region's president, Masoud Barzani, although Kurdistan said later that Exxon had restated its commitment to working in the region.

But Baghdad also expects Exxon to take its side.

"We're positive the company is not willing to quit West Qurna," said an Iraqi Oil Ministry official, noting that output from that field alone exceeds total current Kurdish production capacity.

"We think Exxon will halt operations in Kurdistan and wait until a solution is reached to all the unresolved issues," he added, asking to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

New legislation to govern the world's fourth largest oil reserves has been caught up for years in a struggle over how to share power between Iraq's Sunni, Shi'ite and Kurdish factions, which has intensified since U.S. troops withdrew a year ago.

The Kurds say the right to dictate their own oil policy is enshrined in the country's federal constitution, but Baghdad rejects contracts signed by the region as illegal and has blacklisted some firms operating there.

International oil companies have been prepared to take that risk in return for Kurdistan's better contract terms, security and an easier working environment, as opposed to the bureaucracy and infrastructure bottlenecks that hamper oil projects in the rest of Iraq.

Baghdad would have to promise Exxon favorable terms to entice it away from the north, but analysts and industry sources doubt Maliki's capacity to deliver those, and say it would be a mistake for him to do so.

"If they go for Baghdad, I'm sure they (Exxon) will want sweeteners," said a senior executive from a rival company. "But if they get better terms, others will want the same."

Some industry sources even suggested that may have been part of Exxon's calculations all along: that when defying Baghdad the company figured it might eventually be able to use its Kurdish contracts as leverage to extract concessions in the south.

"POINT OF NO RETURN"

Despite the loss of face if Exxon were to back away from Kurdistan, experts say such a move would ultimately do little to slow the region's drive towards greater energy autonomy from Baghdad.

"Exxon was a game-changer then, but things have moved on," said one industry source.

Now there are other majors waiting to snap up acreage in what has been described as one of the final frontiers for onshore oil exploration, and they are unlikely to be deterred.

The real challenge lies in finding new ways to sell Kurdish oil, until now shipped to world markets through a Baghdad-controlled pipeline running from Kirkuk to the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

But Kurdish exports via that channel dried up in December from a peak of around 200,000 bpd as result of a row over payments with Baghdad.

Fed up with waiting, the Kurds have already started bypassing the federal pipeline network by trucking small quantities of crude over the Turkish border in exchange for refined products. The trade is small, but symbolic.

"Oil and gas wise, it's a point of no return," said an industry source. "From this point on, the Kurds will not agree to a centralized oil and gas policy. Other regions will do the same."

Kurdistan is looking to Turkey for answers. A broad energy partnership between them has been in the works since last year.

"This will be a big bang deal. That's the only way to do it, involving everything at the same time," said a diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations.

Details are still unclear, but industry sources said it would range from exploration to export and seek to open up a new "energy corridor" to Turkey that would reduce Ankara's dependence on Russia and Iran for oil and gas.

The deal would involve a new Turkish entity taking a stake in several Kurdish blocs and an alternative pipeline, which the United States is actively discouraging for fear it will further destabilize Iraq and threaten its federal integrity.

GAME-CHANGER

It would also have to include a mechanism to pay the Kurds directly for their exports instead of the current arrangement whereby Baghdad receives the proceeds and then passes on 17 percent of the country's revenues as a whole.

Kurdish officials have long complained what they end up getting is in fact closer to 10 percent.

"When the money starts flowing straight to Arbil, that will be the game-changer," said a diplomatic source.

Kurdish officials say they would keep the share to which they are entitled and send the rest on to Baghdad, but an independent revenue stream would theoretically give the region the means to stand on its own economically.

"Assuming they could export 1 million barrels per day, they'd make more revenues from that than their current share of the national budget, depending on how much oil the south is producing," said Robin Mills of UAE-based energy consultancy Manaarco.

Opponents of the tie-up worry it would make Kurdistan too dependent on Turkey, which has a fraught relation with its own Kurdish community and will be keen to have the upper hand in any dealings with their ethnic kin in Iraq.

But champions of the deal argue that landlocked Kurdistan has few options besides isolated Iran and war-torn Syria -- its other neighbors -- neither of which has the strategic advantages of Turkey.

"Economically, we're already at their mercy," said a senior Kurdish regional government official. "Once we start mass producing, the equation changes and the relationship with Turkey becomes interdependent."

Majority Sunni Turkey's links with Iraqi Kurdistan have already come at a price, heightening tensions between Ankara and the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad.

Baghdad has accused Ankara of complicity in "smuggling" Iraqi oil, and late last year prevented Turkey's energy minister from attending an oil conference sponsored by Exxon in Kurdistan by denying his plane permission to land.

"Collaboration between the KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government) and Turkey to transfer oil and gas to the world markets will strengthen our ties," Turkish Deputy Energy Minister Selahattin Cimen said at that conference.

But given the regional turmoil and political ramifications of building a pipeline to Turkey, it may be less imminent than the rumors suggest.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has already made an enemy along his longest border with Syria, having turned his back on one-time friend, President Bashar al-Assad and embraced the rebels fighting him.

"Of course the Turks want access to Kurdish energy, but is it worth torpedo-ing relations with Baghdad when you have a crisis in Syria to deal with?," Mills said. "I think they may wait."

Side Effects of Prostate Cancer Treatments Similar in Long Run: Study

By Carina Storrs
HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30 (HealthDay News) For men with prostate cancer who are trying to decide between surgery or radiation therapy, new research shows that declines in sexual, urinary and bowel function do differ with each treatment in the short-term, but those declines tend to even out in the long run.

The study included more than 1,600 men treated for early-stage prostate cancer. Researchers asked them about their urinary, sexual and bowel health following either surgery to remove the prostate or radiation therapy.

Although the rates of health decline in these areas differed at two and five years after treatment, men reported similar declines regardless of their treatment after 15 years.

While men who underwent surgery experienced higher rates of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction two and five years later, men who received radiation therapy had higher rates of bowel urgency, or feeling like they had to pass stool but not being able to do so.

The study was published in the Jan. 31 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

?Our hope was that measuring patient-reported outcomes at a 15-year time point would provide patients and their physicians with a realistic picture of the prostate cancer survivorship experience,? said study author Dr. Matthew Resnick, an instructor of urologic surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.

Urinary, sexual and bowel problems are among the most common side effects of treatment for prostate cancer, Resnick added. Declines are probably due to a combination of the treatment and aging in general, and the side effects even out after 15 years.

However, the shorter-term differences could be enough to steer some men toward one treatment or the other.

?There isn?t a one-size-fits-all approach; different men feel differently about the possibility of benefits and risks of treatment,? Resnick said. For example, men who were already experiencing urinary incontinence might want to choose a treatment like radiation therapy because it was associated with lower rates of urinary problems in the short-term.

Surgery to remove the entire prostate, called radical prostatectomy, and radiation therapy are both recommended treatments for low- and medium-risk prostate cancer, according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.

However, these guidelines state that, for men with low-risk prostate cancer, watchful waiting ? closely monitoring the disease and treating it only if it changes ? is the best option.

It remains to be seen how men who opt for watchful waiting will fare in terms of their urinary, sexual and bowel health, especially in the long-term, Resnick noted.

Previous research has found doing watchful waiting for one year after diagnosis was associated with lower rates of urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, but higher rates of urinary blockage seven years later, compared to men who were treated immediately.

The current study involved 1,655 men who had stage 1 or 2 prostate cancer, which had not spread beyond the prostate. Men were diagnosed between ages 55 and 74 in 1994 and 1995, and most were treated in the year of diagnosis.

About 70 percent of the participants had radical prostatectomy, while the remaining 30 percent had external-beam radiation therapy, in which high-energy rays are directed from outside the body.

Treatment choice can vary based on a number of factors including age, prostate cancer stage and other diseases, Resnick said. The researchers took into account these differences when analyzing treatment outcomes.

The study authors asked the men about their urinary, sexual and bowel function before they had been diagnosed, as well as in the months following treatment. Participants also rated their own health in these areas.

Although there were declines after both treatments, men who received surgery reported sharper declines in urinary and sexual health, from a score of about 95 and 70, respectively, before surgery to about 60 and 20 in the months after.

?We would look at these changes and say they are meaningful,? said Dr. John Wei, a professor of urology at the University of Michigan who was not involved in the study.

Even though their urinary and sexual health rebounded about a year after treatment, surgical patients were still six times more likely to have urinary incontinence and 3.5 times more likely to erectile dysfunction two years after treatment than radiation patients.

?The trajectory of the lines is different,? Resnick said. ?Obviously surgery is much more of an acute insult than radiation.?

However, men who received radiation therapy reported greater early loss in bowel function, from a score of about 90 to 75. Although they went on to recover some function, the men who had surgery were 39 percent and 47 percent less likely to report bowel urgency two and five years later, respectively.

?I have been telling patients for years about these types of differences associated with prostate cancer treatment,? Wei said.

This study gives a reference point when explaining these issues to patients, Wei said, adding that he applauds the authors for following the men in this study for 15 years.

By 15 years after treatment, the declines were in the same range for both treatment groups. Men reported a score of between 70 and 80 for urinary function, about 20 for sexual function and 80 for bowel function.

Nonetheless, ?I would be somewhat careful in showing the results [of this study] to my patients,? Wei said.

Intensive prostate cancer treatments are done differently today; for example, surgery can be done with a robot or with minimally invasive laproscopy using small incisions in the abdomen. Cancers also tend to be detected earlier when they are less aggressive, and so treatment could be less aggressive.

These differences could add up to lower side-effect rates, Wei said.

In the end, it comes down to what men decide with their doctors. Some men may worry about the invasiveness of surgery and opt for radiation therapy, whereas others might prefer surgery because they feel more comfortable knowing that their prostate has been removed and there is no chance of recurrence of prostate cancer, Wei said.

Cuba dissidents approved, denied for passports

HAVANA (AP) ? Two Cuban dissidents who applied for passports to go overseas under recently enacted travel reform reported mixed results Wednesday, as one former prisoner was turned down while a prominent blogger excitedly tweeted a photo of her brand new, bright blue travel document.

"The called me at home to say my passport was ready! They just delivered it!" Yoani Sanchez wrote on Twitter. "Here it is, now the only thing left is to get on that plane."

By her own account Sanchez has on some 20 occasions been rejected for the much-detested exit visa that for decades was required of all islanders seeking to go abroad. Analysts have called such controls arbitrary and humiliating, though authorities long insisted they were necessary to prevent brain drain.

That requirement ended Jan. 14 when a new law took effect scrapping the permit known as the "white card," which Cuba routinely denied to those it considers "counterrevolutionaries" in the pay of foreign interests and bent on undermining the communist government.

But the case of Angel Moya, who was locked up for years in connection with his political activities, indicates that Cuba intends to exercise a legal clause by which it retains the right to restrict some citizens' right to travel.

Moya, one of 75 other anti-government activists imprisoned in a 2003 crackdown on dissent, said he went to file paperwork and the $50 application fee to request a passport, but a clerk turned him down.

"She told me, after consulting a database, that I was restricted and it couldn't be processed for reasons of public interest," Moya told The Associated Press.

Moya said the office clerk showed him her computer screen and the file did not contain a specific reason why he was not allowed to apply for the travel document. But the travel law contains language reserving the right to withhold passports for reasons of national interest and for people with pending legal cases, and he's sure that's affecting his situation.

Moya's release from prison was conditional and technically he's still serving a 20-year sentence for treason that expires in 2023. The rest of the former prisoners from the 2003 crackdown, like a number of other dissidents with legal issues, presumably could be in the same boat.

"Their release is very precarious," said Elizardo Sanchez, who monitors and reports on human rights on the island.

Other government opponents including frequent hunger striker Guillermo Farinas have explicitly been told they will be allowed to get passports and come and go freely.

Moya's wife Berta Soler, a leader of the Ladies in White protest group, said as far as she knows she's still scheduled to pick up hers on Feb. 8.

"I'm happy and sad: On one hand I have my document to travel, but several friends like (Angel Moya) will not be allowed," Yoani Sanchez wrote.

Government officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Havana usually avoids mentioning the dissidents at all except to accuse them of being traitorous "mercenaries."

Also Wednesday, human rights group Amnesty International formally designated a second prisoner of conscience on the island and urged authorities to free him immediately.

In a statement, Amnesty said Calixto Martinez was detained for his work reporting for the non-governmental news agency Hablemos Press and has been held without charge since Sept. 16, 2012.

The rights group said Martinez was arrested at an airport while looking into whether anti-cholera medicine provided by the World Health Organization was being held there. He supposedly took photographs and interviewed people there.

Cuban airports are highly sensitive, well-guarded facilities, and journalists generally are barred from reporting there without special permission.

Last summer's cholera outbreak in eastern Cuba was also a sensitive subject for the island, which relies on tourism as one of its main sources of foreign income. Authorities say that it was contained, and that another outbreak this month in Havana is under control.

Amnesty said Martinez was accused of "disrespect" for authorities, which is a crime in Cuba. The relevant legal statute has commonly been used as justification for the detention of dissidents.

Cuba contends that it does not hold any political prisoners.

When the last of the 75 arrested in 2003 walked free under a deal brokered by the Catholic Church, Amnesty said at the time that there were no more inmates it recognized as prisoners of conscience, though rights monitors complain that authorities have adopted a tactic of more short-term detentions to harass dissidents and impede their activities.

Cuba has long maintained nearly complete control over the island's media, and Hablemos Press has occupied a murky legal gray area.

"The imprisonment of Calixto Martinez goes to show that authorities in Cuba are far from accepting that journalists have a role to play in society, including by investigating possible wrongdoings," said Guadalupe Marengo, deputy Americas director at Amnesty International.

In a recently released press freedom index compiled by Reporters Without Borders, Cuba dropped four spots this year to 171st out of 179 countries ? ahead of only Vietnam, China, Iran, Somalia, Syria, Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea.

There have been some signs of opening, however. In 2011, President Raul Castro urged state media to be bolder with more "objective, constant and critical" reporting.

The Catholic Church is allowed to publish its own independent magazine, Palabra Nueva, bloggers are openly critical of the government and state TV recently began carrying programming from Venezuela-based Telesur news channel.

Amnesty has strict criteria for how it designates prisoners of conscience. One requirement is that the person not have a history of violence.

In an email to the AP, Amnesty noted the difficulty of accessing independent information in a tightly guarded society such as Cuba. It acknowledged talking to government opponents and other rights groups, but said it conducted its own investigation into the facts of Martinez's case.

He is one of two Cubans who Amnesty considers to be prisoners of conscience, along with Marcos Maiquel Lima Cruz, behind bars since December 2010.

Research in Motion now known as BlackBerry

RIM CEO Thorsten Heins just announced that Research in Motion is no longer known as "RIM," and will be simply known as "BlackBerry" going forward. "We have reinvented the company, and we want to represent this in our brand," Heins said. The company's new tagline, as seen above, is "One brand. One promise." Of course, given that RIM BlackBerry only makes BlackBerry devices, that's the logic there.

"We have transformed ourselves inside and out, and we have defined a revision, a dedication to the boundless opportunities in mobile computing," Heins added. "Our customers use BlackBerry. Our employees work for BlackBerry, and our shareholders are owners of BlackBerry. From today on, we are BlackBerry everywhere in the world," he said. The company's stock ticker is also reflecting the new name (it's now "BBRY"), so the change is being reflected literally everywhere.

ReadWrite ? Hey Security Companies: Stop Your Scare-Tactic ...

What do you call an organism that thrives off the misfortune or mistakes of another??

A lawyer.?

Here's another term that works: parasite. And when it comes to the marketing and communication of Internet and Web-based security products, that is an apt metaphor.?

Think about it. If you are a security company, what is the best way to show that your product is not only needed, but absolutely necessary? The answer of course is to help create a world where bugs and cyber-vulnerabilities make headlines on a daily basis. To highlight those bugs and vulnerabilties and position your product as the best way to keep your information and your company and your equipment safe.?

Since before the advent of the Internet, security companies have used these scare tactics to drum up business for their products. It is a familiar cycle: Issue a press release highlighting research about security flaws in applications and websites and then say, ?Keep yourself protected with our top-of-the-line product.? It must be a highly effective form of marketing because security companies continually rely on it.?

Zscaler Drums Up Fear About ESPN App

The latest perpetrator is San Jose-based Zscaler. Last week, two different public relations professionals bombarded my inbox with the exact same story: ESPN?s ScoreCenter app has XSS vulnerabilities and sends users? passwords over plain text, making it simple for any malicious hacker sniffing for attainable user information easy to intercept.

Great, I thought. ScoreCenter is one of my favorite apps and one of the most popular sports apps in Google Play and Apple App Store. I should consider passing this on to our readers, many of whom no doubt use the app. But I had a few questions first.

Foremost, did Zscaler reach out to ESPN before pushing its press release? Because, you know, this is probably something that the app developers at the world?s largest sports network would probably want to know about as soon as possible. Or did Zscaler go with the ?publish first, deal with the consequences later? approach?

After two attempts to reach Zscaler?s PR representatives on the question, my emails remain unanswered.

But here's the rub. It does not benefit a company like Zscaler to tell app publishers of vulnerabilities much ahead of time. If the affected company moves to fix the bug, there is essentially no bad news to drum up fear and push users to the security product that will ?fix? the issue.?

Zscaler began pushing its PR campaign on January 16. It published its report on January 17 and by January 18, ESPN had fixed the app. Whether or not Zscaler told ESPN about the vulnerability before publishing the news remains unanswered. An XSS vulnerability is not a difficult fix for most developers and is usually the result of an oversight by the programmers.?

Somebody Smell A RAT?

But Zscaler is far from the worst culprit in this area. One of the most prominent scare mongering campaigns in recent memory played out in August 2011. Security firm?McAfee used style magazine Vanity Fair to announce one of the largest and most persistent viruses in history, dubbed Shady RAT (Remote Access Tool). Why Vanity Fair? Because it is a trusted publication read by many people and one that many people that are not extraordinarily tech savvy read. The target is the consumer that McAfee can scare into buying its product because they do not know any better.?

This was well before McAfee's founder?s well-chronicled flight from authorities in Central America, but involved a similar level of head-scratching.

And that was not the first time that MacAfee had run a scare-tactic PR campaign. In 2011 it had Operation Night Dragon and Aurora. These were tied to varying bugs in Internet Explorer as well as spear-phishing social hacks. If anything, McAfee as a company loves to make a big splash.?

Zscaler is not quite as aggressive as McAfee, but its PR team is very active in making sure that people know of vulnerabilities that its ZAP product can fix. In the past seven months or so, it has warned that, ?10% of mobile apps leak passwords and user data;? ?80% of Olympic domains are scams and spam;? and ?apps downloaded by 185 million are vulnerable to attackers to obtain bank info.? Each time, Zscaler conveniently had a product to combat the problem.

A Responsibility To Be Responsible

Unlike some conspiracy theorists, I am not accusing security companies of actually creating the bugs and viruses that they then sell their product to consumers to protect against. Malware happens and there are bad actors in the world who want to steal your data - and your money. Security products can help protect you from them, if you can figure out exactly which product fits your needs.

The problem is that many security companies seem more interested in frightening headlines, scaring the crap out of consumers for customer acquisition and being known as the company that found notable viruses, bugs and vulnerabilities than in actually protecting consumers from the most dangerous and widespread threats.?

For an industry that is supposedly all about Internet responsibility, too often, the marketing and communications departments of security companies are anything but.?

Cambridge College Programme story update ? The Grinch who ...

This week, The Cambridge Student contacted the Vice-Chancellor's office to ask whether the University has any intention of beginning legal proceedings against Ms Taryn Edwards or The Cambridge College Programme. A University spokesman explained that the University currently feels that it has been presented with insufficient evidence to prosecute Ms Edwards, either under the 2006 Fraud Act for her claims of being a former staff member, or under British trademark law, for her unauthorised and misleading use of the University crest in her promotional material. As reported in TCS last week, Ms Edwards uses the reputation of the University to promote her summer camp programme, falsely describing herself as a former honorary staff member of Homerton College.

Ms Edwards has also successfully convinced schools and colleges in America that she is a legitimate representative of the University, with her summer programme featuring as "Cambridge University" approved on the National Association of High School Scholars' list of summer school programmes. Edwards' "unethical business practices" have been condemned by a number of colleges, many of whom are still owed money by the Programme. Students who have agreed to work for Edwards in previous years are still owed several thousand pounds.

Yet the University currently has no intention of beginning a legal case against Ms Edwards, explaining that they will not become involved unless it is "clear that the likely benefit to the University will outweigh the potential costs involved."

Although many colleges and students are still owed money by Ms Edwards, the University has made its position clear, informing TCS that it would not "contemplate legal action in respect of alleged wrongful conduct in respect of other parties, such as Colleges or students."

Should the colleges and students of Cambridge University find themselves the victims of wrongful conduct, TCS understands that is against the University's policy to intervene in court unless the case is financially beneficial to the University itself, rather than its colleges or students.

Only the University is in a position to bring a legal case against Ms Edwards for her use of the crest on her promotional material in accordance with Trademark laws - as the colleges and students to whom Ms Edwards is currently in debt to are not the owners of the University crest, they cannot prosecute for its misuse.

Edwards has made a number of unsuccessful attempts to register the Cambridge crest, and various "Cambridge"-based phrases as trademarks in the United States. Edwards' business model revolves around the use of an insignia and brand which she has no legal right to use. Whilst many companies run summer programmes to Cambridge each year, TCS hopes that Ms Edwards' programme will cease to be accommodated within the University and that the misleading use of University emblems can be prohibited in the future, reasserting the Cambridge logo as a guarantor of quality.

As long as there is no guaranteed financial incentive for the University in pursuing a law case, they have no intention of prosecuting Ms Edwards. Even though individual colleges have expressed their concerns to TCS over the "issues of non-payment and unethical business practices [of] this Summer School programme", it is possible that colleges may have unknowingly agreed to accommodate Ms Edwards this summer, as she has a history of "using other guises in order to get back into the Cambridge Colleges," according to a spokesman from King's College.

Last week TCS asked each of Cambridge's colleges for an assurance that none of them will be accommodating Ms Taryn Edwards and The Cambridge College Programme in the future. 29 of the 31 colleges have agreed to prevent Edwards from using their premises, many in quite heated terms. King's College issued a statement saying that the college will "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" [sic] be accommodating Ms Edwards and her programme in the future.

However, neither Pembroke nor Queens' have denied that they may be hosting Ms Edwards' project this summer, leading to concerns among the student body that the programme may gain control of a Cambridge College this summer. Isabel, a first-year English student, shared her views with TCS: "I don't know why they wouldn't reply... Surely the University wouldn't let her back? I mean, surely not. Not again." Whilst it is reassuring to hear that individual colleges will "never knowingly" offer their facilities to the Cambridge College Programme, this is no guarantee that Ms Edwards will not be returning to Cambridge under another name, particularly as the University is currently unwilling to bring a case against her for fear of damaging its own economic interests.

Dodgers secure $7B TV rights deal with TW Cable

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The Los Angeles Dodgers formally announced a deal with Time Warner Cable on Monday to create a new TV channel that people familiar with the situation say assures the team more than $7 billion over 25 years. That is double what Major League Baseball thought the local TV rights were worth when the team was sold out of bankruptcy just last year.

The gap will be the subject of discussions over the next few months as the league attempts to haggle over how much of that extra money will go into a revenue-sharing pool to help out baseball's poorer franchises.

MLB typically collects 34 percent of a team's local revenue after subtracting costs. When the Dodgers were mired in bankruptcy last year, the league agreed to value the potential TV rights of any future deal at $84 million the first year, rising 4 percent every year thereafter. Over 25 years, that estimated TV rights revenue of $3.5 billion.

The actual TV rights contract represents a huge mark-up from that initial forecast. It could be a boon to the league, depending on how much of that revenue its internal rules committee says is subject to sharing. The contract is also a big win for the owners, including Guggenheim Partners and Magic Johnson, who bought the team out of bankruptcy last year for $2 billion from Frank McCourt.

The broad strokes of the deal terms were confirmed by three people who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly.

MLB spokesman Pat Courtney wouldn't comment on the deal, but said the league would need to approve it. "We are still awaiting further information," he said.

If approved, fans in the Los Angeles area and Hawaii would have to switch from watching Dodgers games on Fox Sports' regional sports channel Prime Ticket after the 2013 season.

The high price tag also means monthly TV bills are likely headed upward ? in the Los Angeles market and elsewhere.

"There's no question that there's a huge problem with sports rights," said Derek Baine, a senior analyst with research firm SNL Kagan, adding that one big question is "when is this going to stop?" Baine also blamed higher TV bills on the proliferation of new channels and higher fees for once-free TV station broadcasts.

Time Warner Cable Inc., which agreed to pay the fees, is now aiming to cut deals with other local TV distributors to offset the cost, which could spread any fee hikes across the TV landscape, including in other markets.

The new channel, SportsNet LA, will be launched and operated by a subsidiary of the team formed in December called American Media Productions LLC.

Along with selling the channel to other TV distributors, Time Warner Cable will have the exclusive advertising rights and certain branding and programming rights. It will also offer production and technical services outside of regular game coverage, which will be handled by the team's subsidiary.

Ownership of the network was important, according to the people familiar with the situation, because the league allows teams to reduce their revenue-sharing contributions by the cost of running their own TV networks.

The contract marks the second major sports rights deal in three years for Time Warner Cable, which bought the rights to Los Angeles Lakers games in 2011 and launched regional sports networks covering them last year.

After paying an estimated $3 billion for the Lakers rights for 20 years, Time Warner Cable eked out higher fees from other TV distributors in Los Angeles, including DirecTV. The cable operator has said it is bidding for long-term sports carriage agreements to give itself certainty about rising sports costs.

"This deal, like our Lakers' deal, furthers our efforts to attain greater certainty and control over local and regional sports programming costs," David Rone, president of Time Warner Cable Sports, said in a statement.

However, Time Warner Cable is not the only network operator looking to recoup the cost of sports rights by hiking fees on other TV distributors.

The New York Yankees' YES Network, which is part owned by News Corp.'s Fox network, is also expected to seek a fee hike from Time Warner Cable when that agreement expires early next year.

Dodgers owner Mark Walter said in a statement, "we concluded last year that the best way to give our fans what they want ? more content and more Dodger baseball ? was to launch our own network."
