Telltale co-founder Kevin Bruner dreams of taking on James Bond franchise
Telltale Games co-founder Kevin Bruner would take on the James Bond franchise under the right circumstances, he told OXM.
The company CTO, whose studio is best known for its narrative-driven Walking Dead series, lamented the decisions made by other developers that have turned the James Bond character in a "mass murderer."
"I'm a giant James Bond fan and I'm always frustrated by games that make him a mass murderer," he said. "He's a super-spy, and that's a different skillset. The films make him less of a mass murderer, and there's not much killing in the books — more spying and intrigue."
Telltale Games is known for taking on pre-established franchises, including Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Fables and Game of Thrones. The James Bond series was last brought to gaming platforms in Bizarre Creations' 2010 release 007: Blood Stone and Eurocom's 2012 release 007 Legends. Both studios have since shuttered. Film production company Eon Productions is currently responsible for the copyright and trademarks of the Bond characters on screen.

Persistent Current Account Deficits: A Warning Signal?
AbstractWhen should persistent current account deficits be of concern to policymakers? We address this question by developing a framework for analysing current account sustainability, that explicitly takes into account willingness to pay and willingness to lend in addition to intertemporal solvency. This framework helps understand a variety of country experiences with protracted current account imbalances. We identify a number of sustainability indicators related to the structure of the economy, the economic policy stance, and political economy factors, and use them to evaluate the experience of countries that suffered external crises and of others that avoided them.

Samarkand - Shakhrisabz (Uzbekistan)
We spent the whole next day driving the 750km to Samarkand. The truck is a lot slower going than a car and the roads in Uzbekistan aren't exactly the smoothest so it can be a long and bumpy drive somedays (fortunately none of us have been carsick). We reached our hotel in Samarkand at about 7pm after some touch and go moments with wires down the nearby streets. Samarkand used to be the heart of the Silk Road so nowadays is rather touristy and has a lot of sights to tick off. We ...
Heart of the Silk Road
I am worried that in the next few days I will be taking millions of pictures. Way more than I can share. Samarkand is an ancient town full of beautiful blue tiled mosques and medressas, the colors are irresistable cobalts and aquas. Not everything is ancient though. They have redone a lot of streets into sort of Disney pedestrian ways which are too clean and perfect, and also cut down alot of huge old Plane trees in the process. Not too ...
Samarkand City of Timur
After hot drive arrived in Samarkand, no sign of an old city, modern wide streets lined with apartment blocks, shops and sports stadiums. Where is the legendary city of the moguls? Well not at our hotel anyway, Soviet style building, cool tiles and air- conditioning. Unfortunately the pool is under renovation, much like the rest of the town where new housing is going up everywhere. We few of us ventured down the streets looking for a place to eat. We turned down ...

We subsequently walked to the remains of the Bibi Khanum Mosque and were then given a challenge: we each got 4000 Sum, the local currency, equating to $2 US. The aim was to buy as much as possible for this amount at the sprawling bazaar next to the mosque. People got traditional skullcaps, bags full of vegetables, ...

Spanish stocks rallied Friday on speculation the country may ask for European aid over the weekend, while the broader European stock market closed lower as resource firms and banks weighed.
Spain's IBEX 35 index jumped 1.8% to 6552.00 and 8.03% this week. The Stoxx 600 Index closed 0.3% lower at 241.93, but the benchmark index had its best weekly performance since early February.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 fell 0.2% to 5435.08, but rose 3.32% for the week. Germany's DAX was 0.2% lower at 6130.82 but up 1.3% for the week. France's CAC-40 fell 0.6% at 3051.69 but climbed 3.4% for the week.

"This week was all about hope, but unfortunately hope doesn't contain a strategy. The markets wanted to see some policy action first from the ECB and then from Bernanke and they didn't get it," said Steen Jakobsen, chief economist at Saxo Bank.
Spanish stocks erased early losses after reports surfaced that Spain could seek aid from the European Union as early as Saturday. A spokeswoman for the Spanish government quickly refuted that claim, but a euro-zone official said leaders would discuss potential support for the country's banks Saturday morning.
Spain had been in the limelight after Fitch Ratings late Thursday downgraded the country's credit rating to BBB from A, with a negative outlook. The BBB credit rating is just two notches higher than junk status.

Mr. Incredible completes the task and continues to do tasks until he can't complete the updated version of the Omnidroid, is captured by Syndrome, and realizes Mirage's involvement in the schemeThinking his family killed, Mr. Incredible grabs and threatens to kill her.

Prof. Marion Howe Honored at Piano Extravaganza
On Friday, two wonderful 7-foot Schimmel pianos were moved in for the concert, compliments of Forte Piano in Paramus, NJ, adding to our two concert grands on stage. Our piano technician, Marat Burla from Hastings-on- Hudson, spent five hours tuning the four grand pianos on Friday. Perfect unisons with four pianos is a mighty task.
On Saturday, seventeen pianists rehearsed throughout the day leading up to the 7:30 p.m. program. Faculty, alumni, and students coordinated their efforts in what was arguably the most unique concert in the history of the School of Music.
Prof. Marion Howe generated the concept for this concert back in May. Homecoming concerts under her leadership for many years have included brass ensembles, flute ensembles, piano soloists, vocal soloists, etc. Dr. Tammy Lum developed the concept over the summer. She and Marion contacted piano alumni from the 1940s to the present. The interest was high and many were eager and willing to travel a long way to the campus to participate.
Tammy's knowledge of music for multiple pianos, coupled with her ability to organize very complex events, resulted in a program of music by Bach, Smetana, Weber, Dahl, Feldman, Milhaud, Sousa, and Liljestrand. The stylistic diversity was amazing�something for everyone.
Morton Feldman's chance music for four pianos was gorgeous and very
rarely heard. The Bach was accompanied by our string orchestra. And Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever was performed by ten pianists, snare drum, and two piccolos sipping pretty glasses of spring water on stage, picnic style!
Just before the final piece, Tammy invited Marion Howe to the stage of the full auditorium. Paul Liljestrand had composed Psalm 23 as a choral piece, accompanied by four pianos and dedicated it to Prof. Howe. Tammy read Paul's beautiful words of dedication and she presented Marion with the framed original manuscript signed by Paul.
The emotions of the moment were overflowing, and Tammy gave the
"downbeat" for this deeply moving composition. An ensemble of alumni soloists performed this premier performance with great expression in praise to the Lord and in thankfulness for Marion's profound contribution to the lives of thousands of students during her unprecedented tenure of more than five decades at Nyack College.
Dr. Elio Cuccaro pronounced the benediction with thanks to the Lord for Prof. Marion Howe, our colleague, friend, and spiritual mentor.
Please join me in thanking Tammy for her tireless efforts and expertise in planning and bringing to fruition the 2005 "Piano Extravaganza" concert.

I am trying to give my 4 wk old son gripe water to relieve some tummy issues, but I can not seem to figure out a way to feed it to him. The medicine came with a dropper/ syringe and according to the directions, I have to give him 2 full tubes full. That is alot! When I put the dropper in his inner cheek/gum area, he will gag on the water and spit it out, even when I give it to him in small doses. He had no problem taking Mylicon (which was a very small amount). I only breastfeed, so I can't add it to a bottle.
Any suggestions??

As Apple's value leaps above that of major retailers, tech competitors, and even oil giants, its quarterly earnings have become all the more anticipated. Alongside releasing financial details, Apple's earnings have a history of being followed by a conference call with Tim Cook, who — aside from speaking to the company's performance — has a history of teasing what's to come for Apple as well. As you can see in the chart below, Apple's performance has been continually reaching new heights as the iPhone and iPad become more and more popular. In our StoryStream below, you can follow along with each quarter's numbers to see how Apple is faring.
10 updates and 3128 comments below.
Oct 28 4:33p
Apple has just published its financial results for its final fiscal quarter of 2013, revealing a $7.5 billion profit on $37.5 billion in revenue. That's up on last year's $36 billion revenue, but gross margin is down from 40 percent last year to 37 percent. The figures beat expectations — Apple gave guidance of $34 to $37 billion revenue for the quarter and recently clarified that it expected the results to be "near the high end" of that guidance.
Jul 23 4:32p
Apple today published its financial results for its third fiscal quarter of 2013, reporting a $6.9 billion profit on $35.3 billion in revenue. That's roughly level in revenue terms with last year's $35 billion revenue, but profit was down a massive 21.6 percent from the same period's $8.8 billion. Both figures were also down from last quarter's $9.5 billion on $43.6 billion. At the end of last quarter, the company forecast revenue in the range of $33.5 billion - $35.5 billion, and Thomson...
Apr 23 4:32p
Apple just posted its hotly-anticipated Q2 2013 earnings, and the company posted a profit of $9.5b on revenues of $43.6b, compared to $11.6b in profit on $39.2b in revenue this quarter last year and $13.1b in profit on $54.5b in revenue last quarter. That's right in line with the company's guidance from last quarter.
Most importantly, iPhone sales are fairly flat year-over-year. Apple sold 37.04 million in Q2 2013 versus last year's 35.1 million, a modest growth of seven percent. iPad sales...
Jan 23 4:33p
Apple just announced its Q1 2013 earnings, and the company posted a record $13.1b profit on a record $54.5b in revenue. That's just over last year's record of $13.06b profit on $46.33b in revenue at this time last year, and well over the $8.2b profit on $36 billion in revenue in the last quarter.
Importantly, iPhone sales were a record 47.8m compared to 37.04m iPhones a year ago and 26.9m iPhones last quarter, and iPad sales also set a record at 22.9m sold, compared to 15.43m last year and...
Oct 25 4:33p
Apple's just released its Q4 2012 earnings report, posting an $8.2b profit on $36 billion in revenue, breaking its record Q4 2011 of $6.62b profit on $28.27b in revenue. The gains were almost entirely driven by a 58 percent increase in iPhone sales with 26.9m units sold, up from 17m last year, and a 26 percent increase in iPad sales with 14m sold, up from 11m last year. Of particular note, the iPhone 5 isn't a huge part of these numbers — it was only on sale for nine days in Q4. Later, during...
Jul 24 4:49p
Apple's profits rarely disappoint, but nobody can beat the Street forever. Apple reported quarterly earnings of $9.32 per share ($8.8 billion total) on $35 billion in revenue. It's a $1.5 billion gain over last year's profit in the same quarter, but missed analyst estimates of $10.37 earnings per share.
"We're thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We've also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow...
Apr 24 4:32p
Apple just announced its Q2 2012 results with $11.6 billion in profit from $39.2 billion revenue — a huge increase from the $5.99 billion profit and $24.67 billion revenue reported in Q1 2011. It didn't quite hit the same level as Apple's record-breaking previous quarter, but that had the added benefit of a gift-giving holiday season. As usual, this is a record quarter for the company. Cue the surprise.

CEO succession controversy or not, Apple just announced its Q3 2011 results, and they're as solid as expected: Cupertino posted yet another record quarter, with a 125 percent jump in profits to $7.31b on an 82 percent increase in revenue to $28.57b. iPhone sales were up 142 percent over last year with 20.34m sold, and the iPad 2 was a rousing success as well, with sales up 183 percent to 9.25m sold.

Apple announced its Q2 2011 results today, and yes -- it's been another record quarter in Cupertino, with profits of $5.99 billion on $24.67 billion in revenue. That's up almost double last year's $3.07b profits on $13.50b in revenue. Profit margins held steady at 41.4 percent, so it seems the big numbers mostly to do with increased sales. And what an increase: Apple sold 3.76 million Macs, which is a 28 percent increase and quarterly record 18.65 million iPhones, which is a 113 percent...

LinkedIn appoints new board member
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - LinkedIn, the networking site aimed at professionals, is appointing the chief marketing officer of Netflix Inc (NFLX.O), Leslie Kilgore, as its second independent board director, Chief Executive Jeff Weiner said on Monday.
The site, which has more than 65 million members, is among the Web's fastest-growing social networking sites along with Facebook and Twitter, fueling speculation that it is positioning itself for an initial public offering.
An IPO "is not in the front of mind," Weiner told the Reuters Global Technology Summit in San Francisco on Monday.
With most of the roughly $76 million in venture funding that LinkedIn raised in 2008 still in the bank, the company has capital on hand to shop for acquisitions. Weiner said LinkedIn was primarily looking for deals that could provide important technology or deals that provide "talent" to fill out the company's ranks.
"Anything that's going to enable us to extract the right data and make that data usable is going to be of interest to us," Weiner said, referring to the types of technology in which LinkedIn has interest.
He noted that any deals at this stage would be "smaller acquisitions," which he defined as companies whose employees number in the "tens of people."
LinkedIn will have 900 employees by the end of the year, up from about 500 at the start of the year, said Weiner, who took the helm of the Mountain View, California-based firm in June 2009.
The service is currently adding one new member a second, said Weiner, with more than half of its users now in overseas markets.
Kilgore is the second independent director on the six-strong board after LinkedIn appointed Skip Battle, former Ask.com chief executive and also a Netflix director, to its board last month.

The Tribe continue to inch closer to .500 while also working their way up the AL Central standings!! It is a lot of fun watching them play solid baseball, and even more fun when using their players in the "Let's Go Tribe group" on Start Four.
Start Four is a fantasy sports style game just for Cleveland Indian games. They have setup a Let's Go Tribe group for us Tribe fans to play. The game is all about picking the four players you think will play the best in the day's game. You get points based on how your players perform. Here's the catch: you have a budget to pick your players, so you can't simply select the best four players in the game!
With young stars like Lonnie Chisenhall, Carlos Santana and Michael Brantley heating up, this should be a fun time to come show off your GM skills and compete with friends using players from ONLY the Cleveland games!

Do we just leave God because of our feelings?
Taking a good woman for granted will leave you lonely.

Lawmakers reject bill aimed at Plant Vogtle overruns
- Dave Williams
- Staff Writer- Atlanta Business Chronicle
Legislation prohibiting Georgia Power Co. from profiting from cost overruns at nuclear Plant Vogtle died Tuesday after utility officials argued it would increase the project's costs and kill the nuclear industry in Georgia.
A subcommittee in the state House of Representatives rejected the bill after a two-hour hearing featuring testimony from Southern Co. (NYSE: SO) unit Georgia Power, one of its utility partners in the $14 billion project and consumer and taxpayer advocates.
Only one member of the subcommittee voted against the "do not pass" motion.
Under the bill, Georgia Power would have been forbidden from collecting a profit on the construction of two additional nuclear reactors at the plant near Augusta after the Atlanta-based utility's share of the overall project costs reached $6.113 billion, a figure certified by the Georgia Public Service Commission when it approved the work.
In an update on the project filed last week, Georgia Power notified the PSC it would be asking the commission to increase the company's certified cost to $6.85 billion.
Of the $737 million the project now is over its original budget forecast, $381 million represents construction-related expenses, while the rest is financing costs.
"They signed a contract to build that plant for $6.113 billion. That's what they told the people," Rep. Jeff Chapman, R-Brunswick, the bill's chief sponsor, told his House colleagues on the subcommittee. "We need to exhibit leadership to protect the ratepayer."
But John D'Andrea, Georgia Power's legislative affairs manager, said Chapman's bill would change the rules governing the project after the work has begun, putting its viability in doubt with investors.

Honesty is indeed the best policy. Its been proven time and time again. When George Washington famously chopped down the cherry tree, he could not tell a lie. And while the story itself may be apocryphal, we still use this story to teach our own children the value of honesty. Even if you dont want to use George in your lesson plan, you can use honesty quotes to make the same point. Through the words of others in honesty quotes, you can teach the importance of telling the truth, of being true to yourself, and to be honest not only through your words, but your deeds and actions as well.
Reference.com Definition of Honesty
Honesty on Wikipedia.org
"The greatest advantage of speaking the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said."

Amethyst Rocks
by Saul Williams
What I got, come and get some,
get on up, hustler of culture.
I stand on the corner of the block slinging amethyst rocks,
drinking 40s of mother earth's private nectar stock,
dodging cops, cuz' 50 be the 666 and I need a fix of that purple rain:
the type of shit that drives membranes insane.
Oh yeah, I'm in the fast lane snorting candy yams
that free my body and soul and send me like Shazaam,
never question who I am. God knows, and I know God personally,
in fact he lets me call him "me,"
I be one with rain and stars and things
with dancing feet and watermelon rings,
I brings the sunshine and the moon,
and the wind blows my tune.
Meanwhile I spoon powdered drumbeats into plastic bags,
selling kilos of kintae skag, taking drags off of collards
and cornbread, freebasing through saxophones and flutes like mad.
The high notes make me space-float,
I be exhaling in rings that circle Saturn,
leaving stains in my veins in astrological patterns.
Yeah I'm serious B, doggone niggers plotted shit lovely,
but the feds is also plotting me,
they're trying to imprison my astrology,
put my stars behind bars, my stars and stripes,
using blood-splattered banners as nationalist kites,
but I control the wind, that's why the call it the hawk.
I am Horus, son of Isis, son of Osirus, worshipped as Jesus,
resurrected like Lazarus, but you can call my Lazzy, lazy,
yeah I'm lazy because I'd rather sit and build
and work on top of a field and worship the
daily yield of cash green crops,
your evolution stopped the evolution of your technology:
a society of automatic tellers and money machines.
Nigga' what, my culture is lima beans and tambourines,
dreams, manifest dreams real, not consistent with rationale,
I dance for no reason, for reason you can't dance,
call me an activist of intellectualized circumstance,
you can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts,
spirit, soul, can be store-bought, fuck thought,
leads to naught, simply leads to you trying to figure me out,
your intellect's disfiguring your soul,
your being's not whole, check your flagpole,
stars and stripes, your astrology's
imprisoned by your concept of white, of self,
what's your plan for spiritual health? Calling reality unreal,
your line of thought is tangled, the star
spangled got your soul mangled, your being's angled,
forbidding you to be real and feel, you can't find truth
with an axe or a drill in a white house on a hill or
in factories or plants made of steel. Selling us was the
smartest thing you ever did, too bad you don't teach the
truth to your kids. My influence on user reflection you
see when you look in your minstrel mirror and talk about
your culture, your existence is that of a schizophrenic
vulture who thinks he has enough life in him to prey on the dead,
not knowing that the dead ain't dead, that he ain't got enough
spirituality to know how to pray. Yeah, there's no repentance,
you're bound to live in infinite consecutive executive life sentence.
So while you're busy serving time I'll be in sync with the
moon while you run from the sun. Life of the moon,
reflected by guns, worship of moons, I am the sun,
and I am public enemy number one, one one one, one one one,
that's seven. And I'll be out on the block, hustling culture,
slinging amethyst rocks.

Price and Quality Competition in a Vertically Differentiated Market with Network Effects
AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate how network effects affect the quality and price decisions of firms in a vertically differentiated market. As network effects increase, high-quality producers tend to raise quality while low-quality producers lower it. The degree of product differentiation is thus expanded. The price of high-quality products decreases first and then increases, but the price of low-quality product diminishes as network effects increase. Simultaneously, market demand and the market coverage rate expand. Profits and network effects are positively related. In addition, high-quality advantage still holds in the presence of network effects.

ROXUL CAVITYROCK® MD & DD is a non-combustible, water repellent insulation board specifically engineered for cavity wall and rainscreen applications. As a continuous insulation (ci), CAVITYROCK® provides excellent thermal performance and minimizes thermal bridging caused by stud assemblies.
ROXUL CAVITYROCK® Rainscreen System
Engineered for strength, designed for efficiency, ROXUL CAVITYROCK®'s semi-rigid insulation board is built for commercial cavity wall applications. Water repellent, sound absorbent and non-combustible insulation, ROXUL stone wool provides longstanding effective thermal insulation for the building envelope.
CAVITYROCK® is widely compatible with air/vapour barriers, wall ties and fasteners.
Mono and Dual Density Insulation Boards for the Building Envelope
CAVITYROCK® MD offers powerful single-density insulation for cavity walls, available in 1 to 2 inch thicknesses to suit your specifications.
Thermal Insulation
Specifically designed as a commercial cavity wall and rainscreen solution, CAVITYROCK® stone wool insulation board provides high-performance thermal insulation as well as reliable protection from the elements throughout subsequent thermal cycles.
Thermal Resistance and R-value
Dimensionally stable ROXUL delivers continuous thermal resistance and consistent R-value for your climate zone requirements. ROXUL has a lesser thermal expansion co-efficient than foam plastic alternatives, demonstrating inorganic stone wool's resistance to shrinkage, leaks and unpredictability that can negatively affect organic material over time. ROXUL mineral wool insulation provides stability and weather resistance, combatting thermal loss and promoting optimal energy efficiency long term.
Moisture Management
CAVITYROCK® is water repellent, yet vapour permeable, promoting effective drainage and rapid drying. Low sorption stone wool insulation will not wick or retain moisture, allowing it to maintain its shape and integrity. ROXUL is a natural, chemically inert and inorganic product. It resists rot and corrosion, as well as the growth of mildew, bacteria and fungi.
Fire Protection
Fire resistant ROXUL stone wool insulation resists heat transfer and helps prevent fire damage. Classified as non-combustible insulation by ASTM E136 and CAN4-S114, the installation of a fire-stop is not required.
ROXUL's extremely high melting point of 2150 ◦F (1170◦C) slows the spread of flame in the event of fire. And, unlike foam insulation, stone wool does not produce toxic smoke.
Acoustical Performance
The BEDR™ Wall System
Used in combination with ROXUL COMFORTBATT® thermal batt, CAVITYROCK® is part of the complete BEDR™ wall rainscreen system for long-term thermal performance, fire protection, water repellence and sound absorbency.
Sustainable Design
ROXUL is innovation for the future of sustainable development. Made from naturally occurring basalt rock and recycled slag, ROXUL stone wool insulation is the choice for environmentally-conscious architects.
