... the stake sale ... that means that I read it already AllThingsD so tell us what to tell us about the news the ... luggage to officially announce the new ... company ... the focus to double down ... on software ... in particular those software services that will complement our devices ... do so and and it's a bit ironic because about two months ago summoning Kara Swisher ... The published a story from unconfirmed sources that this can happen ... actually ... it's a good day break from Edison and driving her crazy ... and to explain to me what year that weekend doing a Mac but I was that need to increase the provision for with it ... yet so there's these two components ... one is something we call the open innovation center and ... and since it would be ... focusing on investing in early stage companies and Aunt Norris ... partnerships ... and they're really thinking about Ivy Creek prototypes pretty good early ... start on ... trading new expenses for users with with partners on outside ... and the third is acquisitions ... which isn't your thing for our company but something that we're committed to ... a minimum of ... a the second thing is an accelerator which is which he talked up ... and down there we want to create ... effective when incubator for internal startups ... where we one of the last of the best of ... a big company in terms of assets and distribution and marketing sites ... with ... keeping the folks in the Excel it enough but on the distance ... to really do their thing and do it flexibly and and am so in a Sunday will be Samsung employees or ... others will go and look at it is clear and start-ups and and ... and so the teams doing their thing and will be ... effectively the monarchy for while then and there will be their board ... and try to get them ... everything from early prototypes the devices to ... access to decision makers ... and then depending on how things go really ... seek partnerships potential investors pay me later on ... oh in a saute RCM stand pleaser outside implies that I get the idea here is ... that he would come in and what we want them to use people ... to focus completely on product development so what the candidates outweighs the health care benefits ... and we want them to focus on products that have to go on race mine and think about the role that's one thing is though ... it's a disservice when one of the so the first part is also funded ... funding bringing in new company is pretty impossible Income's new investments how much money for Samsung men into this now so I I you know I think ... it's not the fund for stay at the Giza fund notes that there's a certain amount of capital that has to be what what's your mind is ... that you would call upon ... but ... you know we look to capital as just another asset that we can bring to bear that down to another arrow in equipment fuel and so will we wanna do is think of ... it but it's an open line of credit ... storage think about balance sheet ... I'm financing so that on Spanish when you can get Apple very quickly ... so we can help them skills that come ... hopefully of a full-fledged partner ... if you're you're kidding right Intel Alto Reagan ... said ... Porter spaces area will be accelerator it would have to tell this one is on Rogoff universe yet ... and ... and another one in York City ... said to have one yet that is where Eastern Europe and ... the kitchen to be a ... distant location isn't clear ... below sixteen St ... the sale even doing this that ... the PC side hasn't had the most high-profile Silicon Valley meaning I've been a top executives didn't know the players in Silicon Valley but in general ... its answer to this squishy ... not much above the profile for a belly now ... and and why is that from your perspective what's that with spending issue ... you know I I just on the company not long ago and ... like ... most people that I know in the audience maybe ... I think people are pretty money with their products that increasingly familiar ... but not that familiar with our executives for the company itself right ... and ... I think a lot of that has been with the fact that ... we were very focused on manufacturing Argo and devices ... and ... it's no secret that you have to get the hardware and software right ... and it's not just a question of the software on hardware it's ... a thoughtful integration of the two ... and so we have been investing ... a ... quick sniff me over the past couple years but ... what I'm trying to do is that if the points here really guilty and we'll try to become ... color me cynical yes you might do ... this has been tried before and successfully by very few ... almost any companies except for Apple in terms of integrating now just last week you also had a ... announcement by another A Samsung executive not you ... know ... about a hardware ... essentially selling hardware effort in and innovation center ... what is the difference because anybody Jesse Samsung is the same thing not as ... though there's the device people there's this topic above its content ... we think is the little bit of a step back and see stance on one line ... that um with with the company ... for two hundred thirty thousand employees ... and ... last year we moved the top line forty five billion dollars at the base of the hundred forty three year something that ... so where the company and there are three look basic divisions of fuel ... one is the components discovered devise solutions ... it's ... so these are the people cricket processors memories displays ... and that is expected that go into ... the ... devices that the people at the fact ... that business is a big partner gap ... ahh and then we have a consumer electronics business which is way easier to these additional finances ... and Kate and I T Mobile Communications group ... which is where smartphones and tablets and PCs ... so there's me very large businesses out and there is a Chinese wall or screen wall that aam between that and what that ... what that ... yes I can say that allegedly think I can say that I set up ... but to ... but there is a beer is a ... very distinct separation between the components business than ... the consumer products for finished goods businesses Abercrombie St ... so I think last week's announcement was from the components business one of my group is focused on ... the consumer electronics ... and more than any group in this new group in Uganda ... everywhere with having to work a few active Google AOL time Warner Time is one of them NBCU and they say okay right ... I'm ... Hickey It retreat this in the skin is at the beginning of of of solidarity across products that consumers say ... I'm an action not just an image of an actual feeling that you have ... across the ... how difficult this that and I would imagine ... women are certainly some challenges but when ... I get really excited about this ... is the fact that ... we're creating more more devices with displays ... and these displays are connected to internet ... op but ... they're not all yet connected to each other somewhat but not quite yet ... and once we connect these devices I think will have one of the largest platforms for ... distributing these content services ... apps may be an advertising world ... and ... we are in the process it's still very early days but that that is one of our goals the look is so freakin Apple was the year as that of the top management is thinking about him is that year the start of ... all delivery vehicle for Santa brings him a million artists the of my croissant that ... into Android is one ... thing is partners ... haven't yet bought any of your own systems that ... we have a new look at yourselves ... I don't think I look it any other company ... we look I look at ... who we are and what we can do so I think if anything where ... on that point very inwardly focused ... and and I was one of the big learns from me about the company when I'm in and ... I'm ... in awe that just a day for tab I was speaking with the present upright in mobile communications to ... have to spend a lot of time with the business and some electronics ... and when you meet with these people me right now when the fortunate position of being number one in TV and mobile ... and then use a nice piece of the leaders of these businesses and ... there's not one percent of the time to expand its books ... celebrating ... the success it's really focused on one more week to welcome you to think that ... I get that but but what does that mean amphibious invasion of the content was that meaning content for Samsung to be in contact this is good news indeed creating content that means ... the content ... I think it needs creating better new experiences and if that and I'm not sure if that means well I'd I think we don't think about it is that I'm not the worst was the up an ice ... I don't think that ... I think of ourselves as more books I've come in ... and having been in the content world ... aam ... it is a very sth particular special skills ... or company to do that ... and so my leaning is always to work with people to do that ... full time right I'm ... at I don't preclude us from ... in explaining the feature but I think for the now were much better off being a great partner it ... was that mean exactly ending a tad mean the Bank of Samsung's shows up again and enhance checks that these people which they love to take it away yet Adam what does that mean exactly what you pay for show to do so when ... you think that manifest ... again um focus less on continentwide apps for its ... safety taken are our mobile too ... aam ... take for portraits ... so what is a company that a lot of people know ... they have defeated the moment I'm an avid user base ... um we worked very closely with them and his colleagues of mine ... the work was spent before the launch of our history ... last summer ... so what they did is they can ... early prototypes ... and people really able to work closely with our developers to create ... a unique experience on that that's a ... so so what is happening in ... the West and exclusive relationship where they could and ... put Flipboard up there on hand but other Android devices for ever ... in fact we fully expect that a way ... but the experience that you've had on the dance to the device was to me ... and was customized ... for the phone itself right and when we watched there was uncertainty that benefit only watch that that's the device ... we woulda got a hundred forty six countries and nearly three hundred carriers ... at the same time and so for a company that was looking for ... global distribution and inside the bucket for markets ... they were both good and we were helping local high-stakes experiences can't get squishy where it was that mean what is this experience them as different as before that's been the same ... almost every device ... well I mean I think ... that this was ... different ... because I get the functionality of the devices will differ by device and can thank me for context though ... aam ... in the minds of Facebook ... so we have we will let them know too ... I which has passed and so you can write with and ends and outs to other folks ... this is the little thing but for me was a great example of what we really do ... if you integrate your or ... your Facebook Events into your counter our ... own ... I'm you can post ... it notes sent the birthday cards with U S an ... animal go button systems use the moment so it's really doing certain things that are unique ... I better match the functionality of the flights in and the andthe takes time and ... and that talk about ... it you may imagine getting that specialize ... in media content shows or or or or the internet assets mostly focused on all the in the in the apps you mentioned in one in the warm EDS ... centric already know we have the services that run on our mobile devices and an ex martinis technically he's been ... out we ... think we were the first of all of its store back if that's not so we have ... asked artists like Netflix and due to an end to a bomb ... I think and and and recently at CES I announced a new initiative where we were calling up an offering of short form video and branded entertainment ... aam on a case of a Samsung or what what is that it's the pockets of partnership that were doing that would be supported by brought by advertisers ... so for us it's just one one experiment really ... to see whether we can bring together content and advertising ... on megabytes ... and think about a really interesting duets that will ... increase awareness and sampling of the ... still ... below the average ICC mention that we could be an advertising network ... aam give all these devices in your partner's use you using their operating systems ... how does that was that weren't there are a go was in the advertising business ... heard ... The ... and so are many others in my perceptions and ... this month Wales Goebel but there's many others and this is how you look at yourself you imagine creating an advertising network ... well we we already have advertising on are connected to these rights now ... these are with partners ... and that this this so ... I think for the now we think about again the platform allowing partners ... the advertising ... company's fine car to compete on apps companies try ... to find their way onto our platform and devices ... so with regard to advertising I think what we're thinking about this ... opts for starting with that but along with many of the content service really thinking about ... well if we have a sense of what peoples usages ... and over time we have a sense of geo data and where they are ... and sensor information ... is their world what we gather all this data ... is big into them ... and pull insights about ourselves and on ... and I think the answer is yes it something that we're very excited ... it is ending creating your own advertising business idea whether we do it ourselves or with partners and think remains the scene but I think it's an important part of what we needed to ... be because ... you'll attract the right type of apps developers I mean just ... just on battle on ... we need to provide ... market stations I mean people want distribution but ... defacto ... what that means is ultimately finding audience than on stage so ... I think we have the franc the responsibility for those folks to develop for us ... to make money when you're thinking like that you're thinking about you wanna be a platform for your partner's things can change rather quickly Facebook ... thing that that you know once they become platform for something ... is but any of the photo sharing app standby when there ... is that is that what occurs eventually that you have to be sort of like in that interim global buying everything it can to to solidifying into their phones ... Honeywell and you see yourself being in all these businesses are all media businesses ... I think we have to ... be very thoughtful when you look at every everything from a busy bow ... at whether we take our table and and ... or whether we ... are supporting our now I think that's those of the big decisions ... to May but again I think the liens and to be a partner ... because what we do well right now is trading in straight lines ... and its paper ... is from trucks ... and what we have the ability to do this work very closely with us for Temple and mobile with our ... network carrier partners and then on TV and digital watches our retail partners ... and so we can bring a lot of the different elements together for ... apps companies on the company's success to bed and that's the name you can't underestimate that the difficult or complex is doing that especially if you wanna do it on a global scale ... so is ... it the one that in the one company you best compete with most at the two companies and one as a ... competitor ... not a competitor Global ... and the other is Apple ... Woody from your perspective what is is one of the reasons us of the Silicon Valley is to say Apple were here ... by the way we're here ... as the other odd thing even Chinese Tipster commercials ... ads and trashing them quite a bit in the city use the Buick like the deal to us here today that it might well you live Samsung ... bank of Samsung ... what ... a way that you endure this of this country and I hear ... the ... so that you how you look at your leisure with Apple right now there is the isthe lawsuits there's the ... commercials there's the much more aggressive tactics to and from Honeywell cat that lives ... will forsee a question about ... motivation behind coming back to Silicom Valley ... we've been snowed on Nike Becket's yet we talk about this ... but it's just that a presence has really been ... a bit weaker and more transactional partners write posts to examine the newly woven into that happened tonight ... aam but ... again I think frankly the outside is more obsessed about ... are suppose that obsession with Apple that we actually are ... it was when a few e mails that appear ... to ... know the the the reality is that they are very ... important partner to us on the compound ... yet the irony of that situation are talking about the other produce more than ironic when they won every time a not so bright ... and that something we take seriously ... on the other side we avoid compete we compete with that right ... on the consumer electronics mobile devices ... and so ... we compete we compete ... and to ... um well where ... you know I think you you you talk about the conflict and in legal another wants the ... U S The Samsung executive I'm not uncommon on the litigation itself ... but as they use this American consumer and as a citizen of the Valley ... I think it's a big loss ... anytime you take on competition on marketplace any The reduces innovation and choice ... and so I think that's unfortunate ... but my view is that with the lawyers and the litigation ... and the rest of us have to keep focused on ... doing what we can to treat again at Air Expands whatever that means that whether it's a service or ... unique versions of apps ... any better devices and that's which ... are doing so in terms of a US Goebel another interesting and probably more complex and more ... gospel in places and ... took ... a look at that relationship ... what's in it it's an interesting question for me because I was at the yes and and I've been inside the board however and we we met because a guessing it might ... do so ... I have ... a special place for approval and so does the company you know when you look at what we've been able to your mobile group and intuitive ... it is in some ways it ... Cody typically fantastic auction no one puts one's story ... where each partner was able to bring something align incentives and ... a treat something that the otherwise might not out ... aam and so as the company were still ... completely dedicated to making sure ... that we can support the partnership ... we invest a lot of time and resources to a ... I'm not personally interpersonal ... level our top mobile executive spend a lot of time ... the top folks there ... and that that inning runs buried the ... so ... where were very minute ... at the same time ... as the company that's competing on the global marketplace right you gotta keep focused on to consumers is well ... and a half to think what is that that again is Contiki contraction now I mean look at what they did a lot of relatives there they are competing with you in a completely competing between what might happen to be in Korea at that time I was announced and we were in fact at Samsung ... and they were very polite about it but for Koreans a mysterious they're like not could not ... and that was like that was like oh my God I hate them ... I was an interesting that ... the situation to be an actor so how do you look at that happy with the with their efforts at Motorola ... and creating bonds but also deliver content services ... that's what I would say that the relationship is ... a lot more complex than I think ... that appears to be on the outside ... aam but complex heating pad on ... the discussions in the things that ... the people and nation ... runs very deep and visit and we have conversations with Goebel outside and right ... now we're on the services and apps hundred devices while ... whether it's cute you are ... that's what happened ... so ... these are all interconnected and you with regard to Motorola ... um ... you know ... they are competitor on one hand ... we compete with a lot of folks ... Google's also partner and you know in our world ... he may be ... what is a friend in the event that's just par for the course ... I did it the revelation shows that any of the election of Hollywood you are you are here doing it and a well using various different heels I mean look at that and say ... was that ... and ... that's it that's it hasn't then you do good things are on their cars had the look of the relationships that you read right now I would say ... we are again we really just started offering services where ... we are confident movies TV shows music ... people will begin to do now let's look at particular types of accounts you are so for example all of our identity these ... are three D capable ... and we've developed a proprietary three D first take on the way you can take ... to the content ... I converted to three peacocks and I might not be yet the awful quality Titanic ... ready ... op but for library content or other types of shows ... um it absolutely works in and works increasingly better ... so one of the things that ... my team is doing now and in close partnership with their TV group is ... can we have conversations with content owners ... whether it's ... the old TV shows are new animation oh what have you ... and created a different type of again experience in this case the viewing experience ... this TV then on our TV and other devices ... and I think nobody feels to me like the early days of HD where there was a bit of a chicken or the heck ... he didn't know whether to invest in the cockpit as you watch or of the distribution of economics and vice versa ACAS and investing in that ... like that ... I think there were eleven am and we already having conversations ... with studios I'm ... to think about how we can Niles of mining resources for interest ... but that whether it's making some investment whether it supported them for marketing ... whether it's providing them with ... lots of Axis distribution ... where we're ... going out on next ... in terms of how a adding adding services like it from Silicom Valley these apps makers what would be your ideal kind of thing relationship with the operation with that ... he took the Flipboard with what would be an ideal relationship for you in terms of what some would come to ... well I mean ... we make silly devices for selling the contents of the nefarious one IPO ... but for us I think were looking for folks to walk who understand that ... where more than just education although we we have hundreds of millions of devices ... we have ... a very strong sense of where ... devices or any of our products ... are unable to what ... consumer behaviors ... are throughout the world markets ... I'm ... be in when I talk but yes the first half of those nearly three hundred carriers that ... we distribute art that's the ... we optimize for each character ... so you know in the short term ... you take a hit on the margin for doing that but the idea is ... here is over the long term ... I think they appreciate that you have to consumers appreciate that ... over time you'll probably have less track Wall Street ... so of ... the ideal partner for us to someone says ... Enagás global footprint to shore ... up capital for shore ... but some company that is really trying to get the partnership thing right ... and I don't know how to put it there but it's been a lot of time and partnerships and ... there's so much time ... North right words second guessing if you well because ... you're trying to legislate a good are ... you going to be ... screwed buyer or so-called partner in the future and so you tried to get every ... loophole when that happened ... and ... what we wanna be is the company that you shouldn't have to worry about ... and when the ideal partner for us would understand ... so in ways that it sells excellent you can get along with everyone and again I haven't seen it happen and it's very difficult to try to do what you're doing here because ... on one hand at some point you become too ... powerful for those partners to help you get somewhere you seen with Facebook ... and then you ... need to turn around at some point until ... I was not ... it just seems to happen with fears of a lot like they take control of the critical parts of your of your ecosystem ... aam ... you have to own a photo sharing service you have to go back so I don't know that we have to leave it does mean that we won't ... but it's it's going pretty well ... I mean the unit it so did the if it ain't broke school ... and so you know on one hand ... you wanna continue to do the things that are going well ... but you don't want to be trapped in Legacy ways and so it's a fine balance your right about that ... aam but ... again if it's going well we wanted to continue to go well that's that's what gets ... me and it's what ... which one of the devices are you focused on the month but you say what you think is most important advice ... I can for Samsung to be doing these ... ETPs ... in a typically in China ... does it up but this ... is a mobile only release nearly forty devices faster ... and so that's that's been tough ... but you know obviously are ... for smartphones are really important even a growth driver for the company ... and so I think you can see ... amazing animation which I can't offer much up ... in the near future ... in a deal might ... go get my groceries play ... that's the least of the science is like how it it can you actually get ... the on ... going to get my groceries ... be ... by tossing the same thing at this point you know there's there's so much more that we kid you not to some of the buy side but economic integration ... between art when software ... and that it's time that I can not only abandon its very briefly but ... we have this internal ... an internal seat yes he will wear ... it so we spend a week ... the kids to nap billion dollars in R and Baxter at fifty nine thousand people around the world working on our Wii ... so there's an internal science fair who will ... and I won with a few folks might be in and ... say I mean ... just amazing ... amazing things and so ... just when you think that they couldn't get any faster better more flexible smarter intuitive whenever ... he sees something you think them what to do with that who could we show that in what could they would do it and so ... um ... I know I'm being vague here but there are there some pretty cool things ... not to give Rangers us give a time machine but that's just me ... the ... when you're talking about the idea of doing this partnership ... what ... do you ... imagine that you won't get you get to play with it you know ... that you can do that because must again I'll indexes one question is now the ppl in China is to be pleasing to everyone the ... freezing snow in and make ... a new ... I've not seen a company is a blog the partnerships as easily ... that would be no la I'm not saying it's easy ... and I don't know that will please everyone ... with some of these all the time because between certain things that we can walk as well ... what I am saying is that we order work with big too small ... and I think what we want is the very focused on ... the unit continued to that of course but ... not the risk of creating a different class and it and internally to because I know worry executives each one of the major divisions has ... happened before ... that that they're all in to creating a seamless ... well the the way I think about it is you have partners for sure ... and he wanted the support that everyone ... but in any company organization did you find resources and time and so ... this idea ... really think about what are the preferred categories and purples were the preferred expenses you want to create and therefore who are the preferred partners ... this isn't this is ... the task at hand and so I think in a ... universe where we have ... lots and lots of foreigners in from SAP on Spike TV and fifty thousand apps are just like that ... which are the ones that an erratic out and who are the ones that we can work with to create a ... truly unique compelling and in turn leaves his commitment not to ... give lip service to this but actually ... get along with the other major ... executives but then you ... can and that's that's the thing frankly that's been a very pleasant surprise for me ... back in June ... I had this brainstorm with another colleague and we have the support of current CEO ... to to do ... what I call the Silicom Valley Road Trip ... a España so we got the top twenty executives in the company ... and we convinced him to carve out in a ditch on the ... of the time ... to literally visit with big and small companies and the appellant's now ... people in the know ... and I knew that that many if not most of our executives ... obviously have relationships and the business of our ally ... and ... my my hypothesis though was that ... I'd taken there in a lot like a lot of other big companies now are busy and value like it's like this the worst thing when you wanna see what is identity ... um ... but ... and I thought well you know there's going to be a huge cultural exchange and ... in a while of course there were some insights gleaned from ... a big company in March manufacturer hardware making chips and ... smaller startups ... what waste was really shocking to me was ... that the top executives the company at heart ... and so the TSE these people and ... you look at the history the company ... back in nineteen sixty nine is when it started ... and ... you know the history for me which I didn't know ... up until the early seventies ... North Korea at twice the GDP of South Korea ... so you have a country and a company that in a generation ... has gone from ... virtually ... nothing ... to ... a top global company and economy ... and so the people that have been part of this have seen him literally go from being on the costs the weather this day ... and and they've done that but making huge vats of the huge fish and ... I'm really focusing on execution ... so when I brought these folks together and they met with the star the folks on the red ... dirt on me just ... you just saw the eyes lit up the top and ... so when when the IPO now not just visiting ... I cannot happen transaction relationships but really haven't changed when sort of ... friendships and I came up ... there was a huge huge commitment to really invest ... I'm not just a minute but what ... but in the value in in your wherever startups are ... because we know as much as you win best internally ... the eighth inning get everything ... from the folks ... inside ... inside the house ... and when we were cracking us with with all that out we're still gonna get ... lots of innovation ... if not more in certain areas from outside ... so everyone is totally behind it ... for now ... so they said ... now I'm teasing ... the audience didn't ... oh ... why ... reporters ... aam ... to the polls and great nieces commercials for example which it began re shifting or music room where HP literally TV that ... you know ... people who all have the same as it ought to be used in one of the the Galaxy S three she ... she wanted to be sure that happens to that ... that change happens that haven't seen a talk about the integration that ... you make those devices work with the things that are read by your company get there ... so ... that the question ... of what few ... years ago we enter this ethical all share ... and so are consumer electronics devices Thursday on a client's though ... on some level ... of of the functionality and services that we think it is so that program should ... the ... integrate with other devices ... but going back to the discussion I cannot had about this Excel a river ... I'm you know when we think about developing new ... apps and services we think about ... I think about it it's concentric circles the first of the PC for Samsung devices ... but I think we have to think about ... Samsung plus other devices that are absolutely don't even know ... it because we can assume that everyone has the Samsung TV applicant and phone and how ... they behave like that was ... it like that with Apple ... right well what what we hope that they didn't like them one more but not today that's not that's not a reality there's usually a mix of things in the exchange ... and then you know even a large a concentric circle would be well what if we do a distribution and now are able to stay true independently strong iconic ... software company's ... hands and starts ... there then I think you have to think about cost the going ons and how so that they really did mean it when you get to that point of this next point is that they don't ... behave together and and a Samsung tablet it never sticks to my TV in the death by a long time ago or something that I don't consider them that I don't even think of them it's the same thing and I think about my Apple places this one ... isn't yet what that does ... not yet and in fact it actually does work on Sunday ... I have been married to someone to Mike's even ... have a much bigger and and that's that that's Mike that's Markets internally ... United house to be much more seamless and intuitive ... the house to just work ... and and that's something that we were apps that work you mention that people look at Samsung devices like that but that's or is it going into the gutter with sunny where you sort of had that moving that way was intended to stock what I think even a few years ago people might would have imagined us where we are today I think a few years I would absolutely love for people that I just respect that says the company and ... introspective devices but that miner ... what we do as the company and admire that this software works to capsule ... apps ... Jason from a ... beach home ... we ... were talking about the decision ... between building your own network and ... partnering so I'm wondering how far along you are in that decision making process ... and what you see is the pros and cons of up to two different approaches ... we have an organization ... that Micra works very closely with other media solutions to ... and it's a good break out the people who ... maintain ... that services that you see on our devices now ... they also have an advertising group and its advertising group is building its own platform ... to serve up that's your devices ... whether that qualifies as an up or not you know whether that turns into a network that remains the scene but for now ... we've taken the rap the path of partnering ... with folks to do so ... for the now I think that the ideas we want a partner ... for ... with with those people and those geography is that we won offer advertising ... to ... falling that that question ... you you have ... Apple making and sort of ... lackluster effort to buy and ... I'm going to be very aggressive with its acquisitions as it had been positioned others ... does it have to be a third to relieve the SES life is that when the others others all kinds of ad to stick it to you in a position to create ... an ad network across the thinking of Samsung's devices all epiphany kitchen TV Xeon devices ... I'm a real modernization for people so I'm not saying that network and advertising right it's the who in a KB ... any number of companies Department of Health and able to do but I think as the company that's very focused and again trading these partnerships with ... apps developers ... we need to be a very serious if I'm on stage and so that's what I was really think that so ... when you say I think this is my position was that mean that is thinking about what it is an integrated expands on devices ... with third party services where advertising and it could become part of that service ... and for me as PX Kino ... video right person ... I think that there's so much more that can be done right now especially on line video people especially in and what you see on mobile apps ... I and and so it feels so early at that as the consumer forget about being in a second company ... it doesn't quite work for me ... right and and we know that so we wanna continue with a big problem ... aam ...

Tallit Clips
Tallit clips are an important Judaica synagogue item. A Talit is a prayer shawl worn around the back and draped over the arms when praying. The Tallit has fringes tied in a certain way on the four corners of the Tallit. The Tallith can be made of a variety of materials, but most commonly is made of high quality cloth. Tallitot prayer shawls are adorned with an Atara piece of cloth sewn onto the edge of the Tallit for extra design. Vsiit our Tallit guide to learn more about the Tallit, meaning, significance and on how to properly wear it.Tallits drape over the shoulders and arms and often move around while praying, especially because Jewish prayers involved transitioning between standing and sitting. The best solution to this problem of the loose Tallit is to hold the Talit together with Tallit clips.
Tallit clips are small objects connected by a chain that hold the two sides of the Tallit prayer shawl together. The Tallit clips can be made of simple metal or pewter, and more sophisticated Tallit clips are made of sterling silver and even gold. BSD Judaica is a Judaica store company responsible for beautiful Judaica art work. BSD makes an incredible collection of sterling silver Tallit clips which are now available at World of Judaica. Other sterling silver Judaica artists such as Hazorfim offer high end Talit clips as well.
Whether you are looking for yourself or to give as a gift, Tallit clips make for a wonderful idea. For a boy's Bar Mitzvah at thirteen, he is given his first Judaica Tallit. A great Bar Mitzvah gift would be a Tallit bag or Tallit clips to go along with the new Tallith. Tallitot prayer shawls are also given as gifts to a groom on his wedding day, so Tallit clips make for a thoughtful gift to a groom as well. If you have any questions about Tallitot, Tallit bags, or Tallit clips, please feel free to Contact our customer support.
Tallit Clips Guide
Judaism is a religion based on practice and action. One such form of religious practice is prayer. Jews are required to pray multiple times daily as well as on Shabbat, the day of rest. Prayer is done communally in Judaism, as it mandates a group or Minyan of 10 people. Jewish prayers express gratitude to G-d for food, health, peace, and many more.
Jewish traditions require men to wear religious garments during prayer, such as a Tallit prayer shawl and Tefillin phylacteries. These items are made in a certain way according to Jewish law and also have specific instructions as how to wear them.
About Tallitot & Tallit Clips
What is a Tallit?A Tallit, also referred to as a tallis, is a prayer shawl worn during prayers on weekdays, Shabbat, and Jewish holidays. The Tallit is a large piece of fabric that is worn over the shoulders and drapes over the arms. Tallitot are required to have four knotted strings on each corner of the garment, known as Tzitzit. The Tallit tradition comes from a verse in the Bible which instructs Jews to add four fringers to a garment to cover themselves. The specifications for the Tallit today have been established by scholars and Rabbis over the years.
What are Tallit clips? The Tallit prayer shawl hangs over the shoulders onto the arms and often falls of or slides down, especially during prayer when there are intervals of sitting and standing. Tallit clips are handy closures that keep the Tallit connected in the front. The clips connect the two sides of the garment. Tallitot are traditionally given to a thirteen year old boy for his Bar Mitzvah, upon which he becomes an adult according to Jewish law. Traditionally, the Talit is given to the boy from his father on this occasion. A thoughtful Bar Mitzvah gift would be Tallit clips to accompany the boy's first Tallit.
Materials & Decorations
A Tallit is usually made of high quality cloth, but can also be made from cotton, wool, or silk. Different Jewish communities have different style Tallitot. Tallitot come in different sizes and styles. A traditional Sephardic Talit usually is designed with white cloth and white stripes, as well as a white Atara. Ashkenazic style Tallitot are usually made white white cloth and black or gray stripes. An Emanuel Tallit is often designed with Jerusalem images and sometimes made from delicate raw silk material.

It's been a month since a mistrial was declared in Roger Clemens' perjury case, and yet the misconduct just won't end. A group of court security guards are under investigation for accepting signed baseballs from Clemens, which is not a thing that is ok.
The Washington Post's source says the ball were a thank-you gift to the security team after they shuttled Clemens through the awaiting gantlet of reporters and photographers, and that Clemens never received preferential treatment from the officers, but they still face fines and/or dismissal. That famed Clemens right arm is now a veritable Monkey's Paw, cursing everything it touches.

Like two superheroes fighting an archvillain, Marvel and Netflix are teaming up in a jaw-droppingly ambitious, multiseries deal announced Thursday.
The partnership, which will bring four 13-episode series and a miniseries about the "Flawed Heroes of Hell's Kitchen" to the streaming service beginning in 2015, marks a potentially blockbuster collaboration between two companies that have made aggressive pushes into the world of series television in the last year.
"House of Cards," the first series developed exclusively for Netflix, premiered on the service in February. The $100-million gamble paid off, yielding nine Emmy nominations and one win for Netflix. "Orange is the New Black," unveiled with much less fanfare in the summer, became its most-watched original and a critical darling.
Just this week, Netflix announced the acquisition of two documentaries, "The Square" and "The Short Game," moves that put it even more squarely in competition with prestige-TV leader HBO, which has a rich tradition of non-fiction programming, and could also make the company an Oscar contender. (Both films received qualifying theatrical releases.)
Having established itself as a destination for "quality," Netflix now appears to be getting into the tent-pole business, too.
In contrast, Marvel's first foray into live-action television, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," has met with more mixed results. The series, an "Avengers" spin-off created by Joss Whedon, was one of the best-reviewed new dramas of the fall when it premiered on ABC (which, like Marvel, is owned by Disney). It also got off to a strong start in the ratings, quickly earning a full-season order and becoming the network's best-rated new series, but "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has seen its audience decline in recent weeks, particularly among the under-50 set.
Some viewers have grumbled that the series is little more than a procedural with cooler gadgets, a criticism unlikely to be faced by the upcoming Marvel-Netflix collaborations, which will center on characters (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage) equipped with genuine superpowers, unlike the mere mortals in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Thursday's news release also described the upcoming series collectively as a "serialized epic" that will take viewers "deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York." Netflix's binge-viewing model, which places less importance on the episodic storylines characteristic of network television, could prove more conducive to the elaborate mythology of the superhero universe.
As Alan Fine, president of Marvel Entertainment, put it, "Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel's specialty."
What's more, there may be less ratings pressure at Netflix, which so far has steadfastly refused to disclose how many people have watched its original series.

Greek yogurt sensation Chobani is reportedly working with Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) to explore a possible stake sale of up to 20% that could value the company around $2.5 billion, according to Reuters.
Continue Reading Below
The New Berlin, N.Y.-based company is reportedly considering consumer companies and private equity firms for the sale, sources familiar with the matter said in the report.
It had reportedly been considering an initial public offering at first.
Chobani, which competes with General Mills' (NYSE:GIS) Yoplait as well as Oikos from Danone, did not immediately respond to FOX Business for a comment.
Greek yogurt, touted for its health benefits and use in weight loss, has taken the U.S. market by storm in recent years and now makes up close to half of the total multibillion-dollar domestic yogurt market.
People familiar with privately-held Chobani's operations say the yogurt maker's sales grew more than 30% to $1 billion in 2013. The company was founded in 2005 by Turkish immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya.
At the end of 2013 it faced two minor setbacks, including a recall related to moldy cups that led to a few illnesses. It was also dropped from the shelves of Whole Foods (NYSE:WFM).

Steve Jobs And The End of Apple
Jobs, besides his design vision (less than appreciated, witness his famous "you're holding it wrong" video about the Iphone antenna screwup) understood what made Apple different. Which was software and hardware integration. Far more than rival products, Apple products "just worked." So they could charge a premium over rivals for making a system that ordinary people could use, mostly, without lots of help and hand-holding. Oh yes, there was the yuppie, SWPL-snob appeal, the trendiness, the design mastery, and the hype. But simply making things work was the core of Apple's success. There were other MP3 music players, and other smartphones before Apple. But none that made using either device so easy.
The danger for Apple is of course, China. Chinese contract manufacturers make almost everything for Apple. With Steve Jobs in place, Apple could cajole, threaten, and flatter China's top political leaders, because Jobs was a crony of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Barack Obama. Current or former Presidents and Vice Presidents and thus important. This is why Apple until recently was not the target of widespread gray-market manufacturing and selling. The clone-Apple Stores opening up by pirate retailers, with genuine Apple merchandise, was evidence of Steve Jobs being unable to fulfill this role.
Yes, successor Tim Cook is quite able in wringing inefficiencies and costs out of Apple's supply chain. But that was not the skill-set of Steve Jobs, and what made Apple great. What made Apple great was stuff that just "worked" ... and keeping a flood of copy-cat merchandise out of places like Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. Cook lacks the connections and cronyism to top Democratic politicians needed to keep Chinese Contract Manufacturers, many of them connected to their own top political people, from simply running off lots of extra Iphones, Ipods, Mac laptops, and the like, and selling them for their own pure profit.
Really, what's Apple going to do? Sue the cousin of a top Politburo leader? When they flood not just China, but Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Europe, and the Americas with the exact same kind of Ipod and Iphone made from the exact same factory as those Apple takes delivery of?
All that money is just sitting there, on the table. Apple has margins of around 35%, astonishing for a computer company (the industry average is about 4-8% or so) and in part that depends on there being limited, and Apple-authorized supply of their electronic merchandise. No, Best Buy and Amazon will not sell gray-market merchandise. But Mom and Pop retailer and swap meet and flea market folks will, at far less prices. At least part of the untold story of the DVD collapse in terms of prices has been the easy availability of DVDs from Asia on the semi-black market. The same factories that churn out say, copies of the latest Hollywood blockbuster on contract will inevitably run off millions more for their own sales. "Hostel" producer-director Eli Roth famously discovered copies of his movie on sale in Mexico city for what amounted to twenty-five US cents. They were pirated DVDs of course, but ran just the same. They were no doubt pressed from the very same factory that ran off officially authorized copies for sale in the US.
HP's discontinued tablet, selling at $99, was sold out in a matter of days. That's the price point for things like an Ipad. It is naive and unrealistic to expect Apple's manufacturers to not sell those things for about that price, one way or another. What the hell do they care about Apple's intellectual property? Contracts? Rule of Law? In China the rule is of crony, of power, of connections. And nothing else. The Red Emperors, Princes, and the like do as they please. Steve Jobs when he was healthy was able to delay this process, but even had he not been sick, these contract manufacturers would end up screwing Apple over. In order to make more bucks.
The "Chinese advantage" has always been a trap. Yes, manufacturing costs are far cheaper there, but producing things in China just makes it easier for the factory to run off millions more copies and sell them on their own. Apple post-Steve Jobs is going to be a wonderful example of just how much a trap the Chinese manufacturing cost-advantage really is, and how far a company can fall. When its previously expensive, hip, and trendy stuff gets sold like pirate DVDs.

Jeff, I don't think that Whiskey is saying that Apple is going to disappear, any more than Armani or Prada is. But he is saying that Apple's days as a "special" company and a monet printing machine are over, and there's a lot to indicate that he's right. As always, Whiskey has a lot of good points, once you knock off about 15% as hyperbole...

I don't know, man...you really think China was holding off copying Apple's stuff out of fear of retaliation from Clinton, Gore, and Obama?
I just don't see it. Clinton and Gore are now irrelevant windbags, and none of America's enemies have hesitated in giving Obama the finger and doing whatever they pleased.

I recently read "Poorly Made in China", and I recommend it. It's not an overview of Chinese manufacturing, just one man's experiences working with Chinese manufacturers, mostly using examples from one factory. But it's an eye-opening introduction to the Chinese mentality.

//BUILD is in about two weeks, wait until you guys see what's been cooking.
Let's just say Sinofsky got Windows to pull their shit together.
The issue is always of profit margins. HP tried to turn itself into Apple and failed. Hardware is a losing game, because your margins are razor thin. Everyone wants to do "services", because you can make a lot more profit.
That's why the US has become a service provider. Eventually, though you need to have stuff made and that is the crux of the issue.

Apple is not going to disappear. But it won't get 35% profit margins for too much longer. Its not sustainable, neither the market for luxury status items OR holding off gray market exports is something that will go on forever.
If the world is headed for a Japan-style slow/no growth economy, who can afford luxury goods? At best you're talking cheap Iphones (Apple is rumored to be coming out with one) or lots of Ipod shuffles instead of pricey Ipod touch models.
Yes Coach, Armani, and Prada take Chinese and **EXPORT** gray market screwing, and it is seriously eroding margins and earnings, according to the WSJ. Suits against Target, by Coach, alleging sales of counterfeit merchandise, date back to 2007. Essentially the luxury goods are priced too high ($1,500 handbags?) and the same factories in China churning out the real thing can make the fakes.

Gray market knock-offs a threat to Apple? Have any of you ever met an Apple customer? And the luxury brands I mentioned do not have the war chest to conduct a scorched earth campaign to keep gray market junk out of their lucrative markets. Apple does.

Something new on the Think line is Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox, which replaces and expands the capabilities of the Lenovo System Toolbox. It's a free application that runs under Win 7 today from PC-Doctor, which has been providing diagnostics and system health tools on Think products since '97.
Here's a link to a little flash video that gives an overview. The PC-Doctor engineering team would love to hear your thoughts.
07-18-2009 08:20 PM - edited 07-18-2009 08:32 PM
Every time I launch and run the Lenovo System Toolbox, it locks out (disables) my domain account. I like the tool, but need a solution to this problem. I found several hits on Google about the issue, but no solution. Any suggestions?
Follow is my system info:
Vista Business SP2
ThinkPad T500
Latest Windows updates and Lenovo updates
The video suggests that it may also replace the Productivity Center, but does it actually?
Also, is there a link to this new TV Toolbox?
10-24-2009 12:43 AM - edited 10-24-2009 12:44 AM
It is an impressive piece of software.
From what I saw fromthe flash video, it integrated well with Norton AV. So in a sense, it acts like, in Windows, its own Action Center.
Unless it totally replaces the current Lenovo Care application, I don't see many using it.
Hello Finalfenix,
In a sense, the productivity center is encapsulated within LTT -- you will be able to launch them from one location, as you did in the productivity center.
I haven't seen the link yet. It's currently in the Win7 preload. I'll see what I can find out!
Courtesy of bobbyz, here are links to the ThinkVantage Toolbox:

Loaded it and used it. It feels like a lot of advertisement at first, but there's some usability there. I'm a fan of the Productivity Center because it's got such a minimal interface--this feels a great deal more involved (not a positive).
I'm likely to use this a lot less than the Productivity Center; I've removed it from my taskbar because it's always giving me warnings--no backup plan (I use a Maxtor external HDD); no screensaver password (I don't want one); etc...
I'm also not a fan of the distance between loading this and updating my system--in the productivity center, this was button, mouse-over, click. In this, it's button, click, click, click, click.
I'm going to look for a way to reset the blue button to use the old productivity center until this becomes as useful, minimal, and non-attention-demanding as that is.
Nothin' personal. I'm just sayin'...
We are experiencing the same issue in our environment.
Custom Image - T400 / X200 / M58p
XP SP3 patched.
Lenovo System Tool Box version 5.1.5183.17
I have placed a call to Lenovo support and escalated the call to ThinkVantage engineers two months ago without an answer to this problem.
two questions (using it with Vista):
1 - is there a way to get rid of the annoying box on my bottom bar (I keep getting a big red exclamation point because I am not backed up - which I want to do with an outside hard drive, but it wont let me)
2 - Is there a way to get it to allow me to use the backup for an outside/network hard drive?

See, your attitude is why people get arrested. You try to find reasons that it's someone elses fault, and you act like the most basic rule ("Don't be stupid") is some sort of lazy excuse for getting out of helping people avoid getting busted. It's not - it's also nobodies job on here to help people not get busted. We give you the basic facts (the place is crawling with cops, and, regardless of people who think they can be easily spotted or don't spend time trying to get a bust, the undercovers are smarter than you will ever be), and we tell you that if you insist on breaking State & Federal laws, don't do something that will get you fined or imprisoned. We just say it in three words: Dont. Be. Stupid.usurpedus wrote:its actually a little different at BM. my understanding is what might normally be a lesser misdemeanor charge could and will be a felony charge at BM.
but yeah, just dont be stupid! and dont speed either! or lie! or eat bad food!
As for getting a felony instead of a misdemeanor, guess what? If a cop in the city is trying to raise money off your ass (which is what the undercovers at Bman are interested in), and they can find a way to raise your charge so that it becomes a felony & they get to charge a bigger fine (and "prove" that cops are needed), they'll do it. If a crime is a misdemeanor on the books, it has to be charged as misdemeanor. However, there are many ways to finagle something into a felony - separate your illegal stuff into little bags, suddenly you have "intent to distribute". And if you stupidly invite one to partake, and they see your little baggies, you're going to get fined with a felony, regardless of how hot they were, how friendly they were, how "special" your bond was, or how well you thought they knew them.
A good undercover cop is smarter than you, and they're out there in droves. Really. Regardless of what some people keep posting in this thread.

It might be raining outside but there's no damping down the appetite for Stylo G's new single "Soundbwoy". Last night Kiss FM's DJ Hype played the massive Sigma remix of the track. If you haven't heard it yet have a listen here.
Today Stylo's interview with The Voice Online went live. In it he talks to Dionne Grant about why he wants to celebrate the term 'Yardie' and opens up about his father, Jamaican dancehall star Poison Chang, who died when Stylo was just 13.
The day ended with People's Prince Charlie Sloth playing "Soundbwoy" yet again on his drivetime show on 1Xtra. Thanks for all the support Charlie!
Definitely a good day at the office…

Sadly, when World War II veterans make the news these days, it's all too often because they have shuffled off these mortal coils and are being remembered posthumously.
Not so Navy veteran Vito Perillo of Tinton Falls, New Jersey. At 93, he's just now starting a new career-as town mayor. He was sworn in earlier this week.
Mr. Perillo once said he didn't think he had a chance of winning, but he jumped into the fray anyway as a statement against corruption.
The in cumbent mayor, who was running for re-election, had been borough police chief from 2004 to 2011 (and also borough administrator from2010 to 2014). As the politically savvy know, it's often difficult to unseat an incumbent.
However, a pair of recent whistleblower lawsuits involving the police department-and costing the town some $1.1 million in settlements-convinced him that a change in leadership was necessary. He also objected to high taxes.
Mr. Perillo threw himself into the race. He wore out two pairs of shoes campaigning door-to-door.
That's a lot of walking, whether you're 93 or 33.
People magazine's politics section talked to Mr. Perillo after his win in November. His opponent, according to Mr. Perillo, had said that "at 93 it was kind a late to get into politics, or something to that effect-that I wasn't up to doing the job. But I knew better."
Indeed, he did. Now, that's the kind of political story we like to see.

Jewellery Adjustments We want every piece to be a perfect fit for your body, so if you require any adjustments to your chosen new item, such as a longer chain, or an altered ring size, then please contact us at one of our stores. Many adjustments can be carried out for you in a relatively short space of time. More complex adjustments or repairs may need to be returned to individual jewellery designers and this may take a little longer. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our collections we cannot guarantee that all items can be adjusted, but we will endeavour to help you in any way that we can.
Ring Size Chart Most of our jewellery designers offer a standard size for their rings, a UK size M which is equivalent to an US size 6. We offer a resizing service free of charge* for the purchase of rings by our fine jewellery designers. We cannot, however, offer ring resizing on costume pieces and some fashion design rings. To measure your finger for a ring size, take a piece of string and wrap it around the base of the finger. Use a pen to mark the point where the string overlaps, then measure the distance between these two points in millimetres to give you the circumference measurement of your finger. Finally, use our ring size conversion chart to calculate your correct ring size according to several different systems. Any good jeweller should also be able to measure your ring size for you.

Gaining a Digital Advantage
Over the last few years, a confluence of devices, systems and processes has resulted in a business environment that's increasingly digital, but how digitally innovative a company is varies greatly. According to a recent Capgemini Consulting and MIT Sloan Management report, The Digital Advantage: How Digital Leaders Outperform Their Peers in Every Industry, executives from nearly every industry "face a bewildering array of new digital opportunities." The report, which examined practices at more than 400 large firms over a period of two years, studied the use of emerging technologies, including analytics, mobile and embedded devices. It found that companies that transform their business through technology realize a "digital advantage" and demonstrate significantly better financial performance versus their less digital peers. However, the research also revealed that few firms are truly adept at capturing the benefits of today's digital tools.

'Family Ties' creator Gary David Goldberg dies
NEW YORK (AP) — Gary David Goldberg, who created the 1980s sitcom hit "Family Ties" and expanded into feature films, has died.
Goldberg died of brain cancer in Montecito, California, on Saturday, days before his 69th birthday, The New York Times reported.
Goldberg's TV successes also included the ABC comedy "Spin City," which in 1996 reunited him with "Family Ties" breakout star Michael J. Fox as the deputy mayor of New York City.
"With a full heart I say goodbye to my mentor, benefactor, partner, second father and beloved friend," Fox said in a statement on Monday. "He touched so many with his enormous talent and generous spirit. He changed my life profoundly."
A more modest hit for Goldberg yet much-acclaimed, CBS' "Brooklyn Bridge" (1991-93) was a tender comedy based on his experiences growing up in Brooklyn, New York. Marion Ross starred as a character inspired by his grandmother.
Goldberg's films included "Dad" (1989), starring Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson, as well as "Bye Bye Love" (1995) and "Must Love Dogs" (2005), which he wrote as well as directed.
His own dog, Ubu, contributed the name of his production company and was widely known from the onscreen credit where viewers heard the command, "Sit, Ubu, sit," then a bark.
Goldberg began his TV career in the 1970s as a writer for series including "The Bob Newhart Show," and was a producer of "Lou Grant."
In 1982 "Family Ties" premiered on NBC, introducing Michael J. Fox as a business-loving Young Republican son of left-wing baby boomers who were former hippies.
"Basically, those parents are me and Diana," Goldberg once said, referring to his wife, Diana Meehan, who survives him.
The series became a huge hit, making Fox a star and Goldberg an important behind-the-camera name.
During his career, Goldberg won two Emmy awards, two Golden Globes and a Peabody award.

AIDS 2012 Plenary Speaker: Debbie McMillan
July 16, 2012
I'm a 42-year-old transgender woman. I've been this way since before I heard the word transgender; I've always felt like a woman trapped in a male's body. I am also a former sex worker and substance abuser. I was bullied and assaulted, although also embraced by certain people because of how I presented myself.
One of the most devastating experiences I've had was the rejection by my father when I was 14. He didn't understand or accept who I was and the response was no communication for seven years. That was the lowest period in my life. I became sexually promiscuous. I was infected with my first STD, drug use started, commercial sex work started, everything started during those years. And I was in my first year of high school.
A lot of it was because I wanted acceptance from male figures. I believed that if they weren't interested in me sexually then they would reject me. It was either I hate you or I'm gonna have sex with you. It wasn't until I got older that I was able to befriend men and not have a sexual relationship with them.
By age 21, I was living full-time as a woman, but I didn't come into my own until I was 35. That's when realized that I needed to make some changes. It took me two years to work through the mess in my life; two more years to stop using drugs and eventually stop the commercial sex work.
Counseling was an important part of that transition. Having an outlet to talk about how I feel and the challenges I face has been an integral part in maintaining my sobriety. In fact Transgender Health Empowerment -- the only organization that focuses on the needs of the African American transgender-women population and where I now work as a CRS specialist and wellness center coordinator -- was one of the places I sought counseling.
A lot of people don't have experience with dealing with the transgender population unless they're transgender, which is why I started volunteering at HIPS (Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive) and then became a client advocate, responding to crisis situations and working with commercial sex workers in the criminal-justice system.
At Transgender Health Empowerment, I help individuals who are at high risk for infection/transmission of HIV and other STDs to develop individual prevention plans, and with counseling and medical and social services.
Many transgender women are young when they make their transition and lack education and job skills. This is especially true if they're African American. I've worked with Caucasian transgender women also and the majority of them are not engaged in commercial sex work. Most Caucasian transgender women are not transitioning at 17, 18, 19, 20. They're finishing school, getting degrees and they're well set in their careers before they transition.
In general transgender women face malice, discrimination and stigma. Some of us have integrated into society and live normal lives as women, but some people need to understand us better. I think with understanding comes a lack of fear so that they can get to know a person and can address their needs.
A lot of women in the transgender community are HIV positive but not identified because the data wasn't being collected to assess the needs of this population. Even CDC includes transgender women with men who have sex with men. But that's a different population. Some transgender women don't identify as heterosexual women and they don't have sex with men who have sex with men.
At the AIDS International Conference I plan to meet new people and get as many resources as possible for the transgender community. I want to inform people about commercial sex workers, drug use and transgender women. I'm happy to represent these populations and am grateful for the opportunity to speak on an international level.
As told to April Eugene, a Philadelphia-based writer.

In visual arts, a slight show of expression of one's self attracts many eyes and opens many hearts & minds, like writing a book, only here, you choose to "show".
I take art as a challenging aspect. Challenge of making things the way I see, to test whether I am capable of making them visually sound or not. Themes in my work are that I've found unique to follow. Realistic approach in presenting themes, with potential amount of details & depth is what I try best to achieve. Crumpled paper is one theme which has so far dominated in my work. Others, I adore working of landscape themes. Pencil work is also a favourite aspect. Other at work are concept & characters designs, CG, photography.

Fort Collins police are investigating a collision that left a 61-year-old motorcyclist seriously injured Sunday morning.
Berthoud resident Douglas Kerns, who was riding a 1962 Harley Davidson, was traveling north on Timberline Road when a 2013 Toyota Tundra turned into its path from Carpenter Road.
Kerns slammed into the front of the Tundra. He was taken to Medical Center of the Rockies with serious injuries.
The driver of the Toyota, David Suszko, 32, of Fort Collins, was not injured.
The intersection of Timberline and Carpenter roads was closed for about 6 hours while investigators processed the scene. Police do not believe alcohol or speed contributed to the collision.
The investigation is continuing.

text: Charleston, SC- The Coker Men's tennis team put up a good fight with Division I opponent Charleston Southern in their first match back after spring break with the score not indicating a 7-0 loss. Playing Division one rules, one team winning two out of three doubles matches picks up one point, therefore only seven total team points are possible. The Cobras dropped all three doubles matches by identical scores of 8-2. In singles, the cobras faired well as Jeremiah Dye (Summerville, SC) had almost a perfect homecoming as he fell in three sets by a score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. Danny Nash (Hilton Head, SC) played well at number two singles falling by score of 6-3, 6-3. The Cobras will look to take some positives from this match and take it with them up the mountain as they travel to take on Lee's McRae College on Saturday at 11am.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – Babson College junior goalie Peter Crowley and MIT junior keeper Dylan Rankin each made four saves in their respective nets as the Beavers and Engineers played to a 0-0 double-overtime tie in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's soccer contest at Hartwell-Rogers Field on Saturday afternoon. With the deadlock, Babson, ranked fourth in the most recent NSCAA New England poll, moved to 8-2-2 overall and 1-0-2 in the conference, while MIT, ranked eighth in the region, moved to 8-2-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the NEWMAC.
Both teams had solid scoring chances in the first half, beginning when Babson's Eric Anderson found some space at the top of the box and ripped a shot toward the right post. However, Rankin made a diving save to his left to keep the game scoreless just over 20 minutes in. The Engineers then threatened when Ben Lewis fed Chase Anderson near the goal mouth on the left side, but Crowley was there to deny his close-range shot attempt with less than two minutes to go in the half.
MIT had the best scoring chance of the second period, but Jonathan Tebes' open bid from 30 yards out sailed just outside the left post less than two minutes in. Babson then slowly took control over the remainder of the game, outshooting the Engineers 11-5 in the second half and 4-0 in the two overtime sessions. However, Rankin turned away the only two bids on net during that stretch, including a spectacular game-saving save with just under eight minutes left in the second overtime. After an MIT foul gave Babson a free kick five yards outside the box, Beavers' Josh Danesh hit a bending ball toward the upper right corner. However, Rankin made a tremendous diving save to knock the ball just beyond the right post.
Babson had one final attempt in the last minute, but Tom Drummy's header off a service from Justin LeBlanc went wide of the right post with 30 seconds remaining as the contest ended in a 0-0 tie.
The Beavers outshot MIT, 20-13, and held an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks in the contest.
