 Video news release - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most widely used form of VNR is crafted in the style of a news report and used, in whole or in part, primarily, during news and public affairs programs; yet, almost without exception, no mention is made within these programs that the source of a particular story is, in fact, a VNR.
Frequently the actor playing the part of news correspondent in the original VNR is removed, or "bumped" as it is known in VNR industry trade slang, and one of the media outlet's regular journalists, known to its audience, is substituted.
For example, an interview with a leading executive or scientist from a pharmaceutical corporation -- an industry which was one of the early adopters of the VNR technique -- might be inter-cut with on-camera or spoken commentary from the media outlet's usual journalist.

A team led by University of California San Diego neurobiologists has developed a new approach to interpreting brain electroencephalograms, or EEGs, that provides an unprecedented view of thought in action and has the potential to advance our understanding of disorders like epilepsy and autism.
This provides a “blurry” picture of how the neural circuits in the brain are activated, just as a picture of waves breaking on the shore would be a blur if it were created from the average of multiple snapshots.
“Our paper is the culmination of eight years of work to find a new way to parse EEG data and identify the individual signals coming from different areas of the brain,” says lead author Scott Makeig, a research scientist in UCSD’s Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience of the Institute for Neural Computation.

 AAAS - AAAS News Release
The 6-4 vote was seen as a major victory for proponents of “intelligent design” and their allies, who have waged a long campaign to introduce religion-based doubts about evolution into public school science classrooms.
Advocates for intelligent design helped write the new Kansas standards, directly challenging the science of biological evolution, which is backed by extensive research, testing, genetic and fossil evidence.
While the standards don't explicitly promote intelligent design, they change the state's definition of science to move it beyond the search for natural explanations of the natural world and to allow for supernatural explanations.
