Mobile may forge the way for new advertising formats

As mobile continues to evolve, it shapes new forms of advertising.

"It's hard right now to predict exactly what's going to work," said Sterling. "Most advertisers and agencies are like deer in the headlights. They don't know how to advertise across channels, and consumer behavior is changing."

Mobile may forge the way for new advertising formats, such as building closer relationships between brands and consumers, and fostering loyalty relationships.

"It's not going to be a straight interpretation from online to the small screen," said Sterling. 

Illinois had hoped after an open week and facing another struggling Big Ten

Illinois had hoped after an open week and facing another struggling Big Ten team that they would finally find a cure to end its losing streak, which was extended to five straight.

"We talked about how we can't beat ourselves," defensive end MichaelBuchanan said. "That's one of the things we continued to do today. It's like we're all kind of pressing too much and trying to do a little too much in our jobs."

The Illini scored on their opening drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to Eddie Viliunas for a 7-0 lead. They took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter with a 5-yard Scheelhaase touchdown run.

Company spokeswoman Rebecca Acevedo confirmed in emails Friday

TD Bank has begun notifying about 260,000 customers from Maine to Floridathat the company says may have been affected by a data breach.

Company spokeswoman Rebecca Acevedo confirmed in emails Friday to The Associated Press that unencrypted backup data tapes were misplaced in transport in March.

She said the tapes contained personal information, including account information and Social Security numbers, but the company is not aware of any misuse of customer information. Still, TD Bank has not ruled out the possibility and is monitoring the situation.

She said the company is sending letters to customers whose data was on the tapes, and is offering them free credit monitoring and identity theft protection.

The Houston Texans became the fourth team in as many weeks

The top of the AP Pro32 power rankings is a tough spot to hold.

The Houston Texans became the fourth team in as many weeks to sit first overall in the rankings. Fresh off an impressive victory at Denver to go 3-0 for the first time, Houston replaced San Francisco as the No. 1 team in voting Tuesday by 12 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Houston earned nine first-place votes and 380 points.

"Decisive win in Denver and big-time performance from Matt Schaub, losing part of his ear in the process," 2002 NFL MVPRich Gannon of CBS Sports and Sirius XM radio said.

Schaub lost a small portion of his left ear lobe when his helmet cut it on a hard hit.

This major tournament is the first since the 2004 French Open

''It was brutal,'' Murray said about the conditions during his 3-hour-58-minute match. ''Hard to describe. You had to focus for every single point. Some of the hardest conditions I've ever played in, for sure, and I come from Scotland, so that's saying something.''

This major tournament is the first since the 2004 French Open with neither Roger Federer nor RafaelNadal in the semifinals. Federer was beaten by Berdych in the quarterfinals, while Nadal did not enter the field, sidelined by a partially torn tendon in his left knee.

Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have combined to win 29 of the last 30 major titles, a stretch that began at the 2005 French Open.

The 'G' lens with SSM drive is VERY fast, And silent. I've only had the 'G' for a few days, but I used it at a water polo tourney and every shot was a keeper. Super sharp, well saturated colors, and everything else you could ask for from a 'G' series lens. A real winner with the A700 body.

Franklin can see the comedy in pretty much any situation

During the playing of the national anthem, Franklin forgot the words and could not seem to decide whether to cry or break into one of her signature dances. "I was a huge mess," she said with a laugh.

Franklin can see the comedy in pretty much any situation. An exception, of course, was the mass shooting two weeks ago in Aurora, Colo., where Franklin, who will be a senior, attends Regis Jesuit High School. Before the Games began, she said, "Every single race I'm going to have that in the back of my mind." She added, "Hopefully, I can make Colorado proud and bring a little bit of light there."

Her gritty double had a salutary effect on the United States team. 

Wolfe moved up to FitzBradshaw's Nationwide team

Wolfe became a crew chief for the first time at FitzBradshaw in 2006 with driver Ruben Pardo in the K & N Series East. Pardo won on the road course at Lime Rock.

Wolfe moved up to FitzBradshaw's Nationwide team in '07 and also worked at Braun and CJM before Penske hired him in '10. Mike Bliss finished second at Memphis for the Wolfe-led FitzBradshaw team in '07 and Josh Wise had five top-10s in 17 starts in '08.

"I guess I'm fortunate," Wolfe said. "Penske called me. They had seen I'd done a great job and the best job I could with what I had. I was working with really small teams, not real big budgets and we really had to work hard with what I had. I never won races (in Nationwide), but what we were able to do with what we had was like winning races.

Watson and Simpson started as hot as the temperature

Watson and Simpson started as hot as the temperature, which climbed to 98 degrees. They both birdied the first hole before Watson, the 2010 Travelers champion, walloped his tee shot 330 yards at the 341-yard second, a par-4 that turns slightly right and climbs to a green with deep bunkers at its slopes.

Watson's shot found a shady spot near a tree to the right of the green. His bump-and-run chip from 57 feet hit the flagstick for a kick-in birdie. At the 10th hole, Watson did not let the pin get in his way, holing his sand wedge from 137 yards in the left rough for an eagle. From there, he skated along with a string of pars and a bogey at the par-3 16th hole to match Simpson's 66. 

The Americans’ aggressive play paid dividends in the eighth minute

"There were enough chances to score more goals, but you have to be clinical enough to put them in," Klinsmann said. "I mentioned it at halftime. I said, 'Guys, you've got to shoot more often.' "

The Americans' aggressive play paid dividends in the eighth minute when Hérculez Gomez headed a Landon Donovan corner kick toward the goal. James parried the ball away, but the rebound fell to the American captain Carlos Bocanegra, who trundled the rebound into the net. It was Bocanegra's 13th goal for the national team, tying him with Marcelo Balboa for the most by a defender.

Antigua and Barbuda were on their heels, but a half-hour into the game they were still only one goal behind — a dream situation for the tiny Caribbean nation. 

Game 3 at Verizon Center featured more goals

After two games in this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series left both the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins wondering where their offense went, each rediscovered the ignition to their scoring touch Monday night.

Game 3 at Verizon Center featured more goals than the previous pair of contests combined, but as the series started to loosen up offensively, it was the Capitals who wound up on the losing end. Boston captured a 4-3 win — and a 2-1 series lead — thanks to Zdeno Chara's goal with 1 minute 53 seconds remaining in regulation. 

The Bulls made a final run, getting the Rockets' now

The Rockets bench may have given the Bulls their mojo in the first half, but they were not about to provide that advantage again when they emerged in the second half. Chase Budinger and Earl Boykins combined for 14 fourth-quarter points, knocking down all four of Houston's three-point shots for the game and joining Patrick Patterson in scoring 25 of the reserves' 29 points for the game down the stretch.

The Bulls made a final run, getting the Rockets' now double-digit lead down to four when Courtney Lee, who had struggled throughout the game with his shooting (4-14, 13 points), knocked down a jumper to extended the lead back out to six with less than a minute left. The Rockets defense would then provide no opportunity for Kyle Korver (3-9, eight points) or Luol Deng (9-14, game-high 24 points) to three-point the Bulls back into the game as the Rockets closed out the road win.

No. 54 car for every race gives you that sense of brotherly love

"Everything's new to us, so we have to concentrate on these first five races and try to go test with Kurt during the break (after March 24) and kind of see the similarities or the differences," KBM crew chief Mike Beam said. "Then we'll have to make changes. So it's definitely going to be a challenge."
The brothers will split driving duties after the first five races.
"Just to have a Busch in that No. 54 car for every race gives you that sense of brotherly love, whereas we've been competitors our whole lives," Kurt said. "So this is a great chapter for us to start."

Accenture champion Geoff Ogilvy in the first round today

On Tuesday, the sociable and fan-friendly Bradley, 25, shaken by the critical outburst, apologized again at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he meets two-time Accenture champion Geoff Ogilvy in the first round today.

"I was very surprised to see the replay of the telecast to see how much I was spitting," he said. "To be honest with you, I really had no idea I was doing it. And I feel bad. I just ask everybody to just kind of bear with me as I go through this, because it's something I've done without even knowing it. But I will do my best to stop. It's something that I'm glad has come up, because I'm able to kind of nip it now."

The Packers canceled their normal player availability to the news media Monday

The Packers canceled their normal player availability to the news media Monday, though several players posted Twitter messages about the situation. 

"Tell someone you love them asap, you never know what tomorrow brings," offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse wrote. 

Nose tackle B. J. Raji wrote, "Life is too short ... Live in the present." 

Left guard T. J. Lang, whose father died last Thursday, wrote, "As children we all have to someday say goodbye to our parents, but a parent should never have to say goodbye to their child." 

It was unclear what Joe Philbin's status would be for Sunday's game against the Giants. Philbin joined the Packers in 2003 and has been the offensive coordinator since 2007. In each season since he became coordinator, Green Bay has ranked in the top 10 in the league in scoring and total yards. The Packers' 560 points this season were the second-most in N.F.L. history. Green Bay also set franchise records for net passing yards (4,924) and total yards (6,482). Last week, he interviewed for head coaching jobs with the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs.
