When the controller of some restaurants and clubs at Foxwoods Resort Casino allegedly stole some $2.5 million in cash deposits, apparently some of the money casino gamblers had spent at the clubs made a circuitous route back to the gaming floor.
The controller and her husband proceeded to lose $1.4 to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun at the same time the cash deposits went missing, according to federal authorities who secured a grand jury indictment in the case late last year.
The controller, Lynn A. Scheuffler, 34, was the chief financial officer of the Boston-based company that runs the Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods, as well as the Scorpion Bar and High Rollers Lounge.
She and her husband, Craig H. Galligan, 41, were charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and illegally structuring financial transactions in a case pending in federal court in Hartford.
Unlike other cases in which casino employees caught embezzling have also been found to be gamblers, Scheuffler and Galligan are accused of stealing from a tenant business at Foxwoods, not the casino itself. Still, it seems a little incestuous.
According to an IRS agent's affidavit, which has been unsealed by the court, the bulk of the money Scheuffler allegedly embezzled came from bags of cash that the businesses she supervised bundled up at the end of the night shift.
The controller would open the bags and remove money she was meant to stock ATMs with, according to the affidavit. But much more was discovered missing from the bags than got placed in the ATMs, a forensic audit later uncovered.
Meanwhile, during the same period, from January 2010 to March 2012, the investigating IRS agent said, Scheuffler and her husband began making frequent deposits of large amounts of cash in their bank account.
The deposits were made regularly in amounts just under $10,000, apparently in an attempt to avoid mandatory regulatory reporting requirements for large transactions, the agent said.
The company, at the same time, also apparently began to wise up.
Last January, one of the principals sent a probing email to Scheufler.
"What was our net profits on 2011 for (one of the Foxwoods venues)? Why do you think we have a zero balance right now?" the company principal asked the chief financial officer.
The principal of the company may not have known then, but may have suspected, that some of the company's money was powering slot machines and being pushed across gaming tables at both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
Of course this is just one of the large federal cases developed on the Mashantucket reservation and now pending in federal court. The other is against the Thomas brothers, Steven Thomas, the tribal council treasurer, and Michael Thomas, the former council chairman. They are accused of stealing more than $800,000 from the tribe.
It is interesting that all the big cases from casino country are being brought lately by the feds.
Maybe if Gov. Dannel Malloy stopped focusing on withdrawing state police from the casinos he could take a lesson from federal authorities, who seem to know that crime follows the money.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

At what day do you cut your clones? What plants are you using? This will be good thread to follow :)
03-15-2011, 06:44 PM #3BOMBUDZGuest
WSUP Oh yes it can be done I successively cloned a Auto AK47...and doing nice...Didnt do it on purpose I accidently dropped a pot on a branch and tried and it worked...Ill try to make a post on it soon...I would say it works better with the bigger amazonian or bushy auto than the smaller ones.
03-19-2011, 02:02 AM #4HomeGrownRxGuest
So it looks like you took the clones before flowering began? I'd be curious to see the results of cloning one in flower. So how large do your clones get compared to the mother? Do they finish at the same time?
I just started a clone from my 50 day old afghan kush ryder. I took off some bud for a test smoke and was able to remove a leaf with a tiny snippet of stem and node. Buried the stem and node in soil. I removed the bud that had formed.
Anyone have success with node clones during late flower? I'm real curious to see if we can clone as a means of eternal propagation just as with photo plants. Its the only drawback at the moment with autos.
Great work!
Yes pre-flower... I've tried before post flower start... no luck... they go "homeostasis" but thats it... never rooted...
but these have done pretty well for their little time to root and run...
more pics to come... I'd say avewrage they are very small... but like I mentionmed... its a great breeder's tool.. delayed flower for analysis.
You ALWAYS Reap what you Sow...
03-22-2011, 01:57 AM #6BOMBUDZGuest
wsup...I took my clone in flowering..dont know right now how many days from flowering but i will look it up...it was prob 3-5 inches...the flowers did end up dieing maybe i had a couple left but its now 18in...i highly doubt it will finish same time as mother plant which is now 42+ inches Ill post some pictures of now to show..i need to make some room on my mem card first...and I will try to start a thread soon on how I did etc...No stepping on any1's toes..and I do think it delayed it some compared to photos..try to get some up tomorrow.
03-22-2011, 02:10 AM #7HomeGrownRxGuest
so bombudz you go t a flowering cutting to root? then the flowers died off and it REVERTED TO VEGITATIVE GROWTH? you said you dont expect it to be as tall as the mother plant, but is it growing? has it put on new above ground growth?
im very interested. if i heard correctly then i think i may be taking a cutting as soon as i get home!
03-22-2011, 02:24 AM #8BOMBUDZGuest
well i broke a branch....dropped a pot on it...it was most flowers did die off and it started to veg but just where growth died and went right back into flowering...so where the flowers where it made some branches and started to flower again but this auto ak is a weird one for me cause its so big and taking its time to finish...it was 3-5 inches when i cloned it and got smaller due to parts dieing off... its at 18inches now and budding nicely and i polllinated it it shouldnt get to much taller def not like its mom 42in now maybe a lil more gonna measure tomorrow the mother I will prob be harvesting in a week or so..you can check my album i have a couple pics in there of both ak1 and the clone..but I need to put up some new ones..

Impressive.. so I must ask.. although it's a breeders tool, is it a yielders tool? Let's say you didn't cut the clone branches, do you think your yield would be impacted? Doesn't the flower the clones come from have to use some of it's vigor to heal?

Hi guys. Had a search around Couldn't really find what I was looking for.
I'm new to brewing. Done 5 batches. All from pre made cans.
I'm looking to make everything from scratch for my next.
Really I'm looking for an idiots guide
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks
How To Brew by John Palmer. It has all you need to know and is easy to read.
What exactly do you mean everything from scratch? Equipment or the beer from grains, hops and yeast?
If you plan on going all grain you need some equipment.
Go here and watch some of the videos, they are VERY helpful. Also, there are lots of good youtube videos as well.http://brewingtv.com/episodes/
I agree with the suggestion of the book "How to Brew" by John Palmer, it is pretty much the homebrewer's bible. I just saw these links a couple days ago too. http://hbd.org/cascade/dennybrew/http://www.freewebs.com/kenlenard/allgrainbrewing.htm
DeathBrewer's "Easy Stovetop All-Grain Brewing" thread is also very easy to follow and shows how to do BIAB (brew in a bag), which is a great way to get your feet wet with all-grain at minimal cost. That is what I am currently doing. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy...ng-pics-90132/
As it's been said a hundred times before, all-grain is cheaper in the long run but requires a lot more up front equipment cost.
You'll need a mash-tun, of course, and there is a great post here on making one out of a beverage cooler. For your pickup you can use a toilet line screen like in the post, make a manifold like this one
Thanks guys thanks for a nudge in the right directions. Seems like there is plenty to get me going
search for "How to BIAB". Brewing with all grain using a grain bag and doing it right in your brew pot is the easiest way to get into all grain and it makes perfect sense since you can probably do it with the equipment you already have plus a $5 grain bag.

Do mice poop in a pile??
After almost 30 years of living in this old house, I've seen a lot of mouse droppings. But they've all been scattered--a little bit here, a little bit there. Yesterday while cleaning my bedroom I came upon a small pile of what look like mouse droppings in the corner of one window sill. The room is relatively newly remodeled--new ceiling, new windows, new walls. There's a space under the door where a mouse could easily get in, but I wouldn't think it would be very attractive because I don't eat in there. However, it's one of the few rooms where my cats are not invited, simply because I wanted to sleep without a face full of fur. The cats are very good about hunting mice elsewhere in the house.
I actually hope this is a mouse, and not something harder to get rid of. What do you thinkÂis a pile part of the mouse MO?
I do know that raccons poop piles....and go back time and again to the same spot time and again building in time a mountain of racoon poop....but I think you would know the difference!!
I often find piles ( little piles!) of chipmunk poop on top of a light on my deck....but I often see them eating their acorns from that perch.
Could it be that a mouse got trapped in there....or could it be dead bugs?
Linda C
Not in the same house anymore, but from experience ... mice also like paper, could there have been a piece of paper there? Or perhaps they got a piece of food somewhere else and carried it to their safe spot?
"Our" mice once found a nice spot in a linen closet - no food but not reachable by our terriers. I actually think the field mice are kind of cute, but I am very afraid of them - it's the being startled aspect that bothers me the most. Also the hygiene aspect. It still gives me shivers thinking of when I opened the linen closet door.
Good luck.
I don't know why anyone would PREFER it to be mouse poop.....I, too,grew up w/ mice as part of country life .... and THEN someone invented HANTA VIRUS - and nothing - not even mouse poop was quite the same - whether in piles or scattered like leaves . Be very careful how you clean up mouse poop ....
Look directly up from the pile. Is there a place in the window that a bat could be roosting? Perhaps between the storm and the window? Or something like that? Bats poop in piles underneath their roost sites, and if you're in an old house, it's possible one could find a cozy little niche to get into from outside.
Good idea, JenswrensÂthanks! The droppings looked a little smaller than bat guano to me, but I grabbed a flashlight and checked thoroughly. No bats. I would have been surprised if there had been one, though, because the bedroom was recently remodeled, and the windows are new. The mystery remains a mystery...

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed the injury suffered to Romelu Lukaku in the Merseyside derby will see the striker out for 'weeks rather than months', the club's official website has reported.
Lukaku had to be stretchered off after a collision during with Gareth Barry as Liverpool scored the first goal of a 4-0 win.
But Martinez has said that despite initial concerns, Lukaku has not suffered a serious injury. "There is no ligament damage and the injury is not as bad as we first thought. It will be a case of weeks rather than months," Martinez said.
Lukaku moved to Goodison Park on loan from Chelsea in August, and has scored nine goals in 20 games for the Toffees.
The Belgium international is likely to miss Saturday's Premier League game with Aston Villa, the trip to Tottenham Hotspur the following weekend, the visit of Crystal Palace and the FA Cup tie with Swansea City.
Everton end February by playing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a game Lukaku would have been forced to sit out regardless as he is ineligible to play his parent club.

The American Physical Society is the world's second largest organization of physicists, behind the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. The Society publishes more than a dozen scientific journals, including the world-renowned Physical Review and Physical Review Letters, and organizes more than 20 science meetings each year. It is also a member society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society was founded on May 20, 1899, when thirty-six physicists gathered at Columbia University for that purpose. They proclaimed the mission of the new Society to be "to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics", and in one way or another the APS has been at that task ever since.

Influence of the Laser Pulse Duration on Spectrochemical Analysis of Solids by Laser-Induced Plasma Spectroscopy
Volume 58, Number 1 (Jan. 2004) Page 122-129
Le Drogoff, B.; Chaker, M.; Margot, J.; Sabsabi, M.; Barthélemy, O.; Johnston, T.W.; Laville, S.; Vidal, F.
Quantitative analysis of aluminum and copper alloys by means of laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (LIPS) has been investigated for three representative laser pulse durations (80 fs, 2 ps, and 270 ps). The experiments were carried out in air at atmospheric pressure with a constant energy density of 20 J/cm2. Because the decay rate of the spectral emission depends on the laser pulse duration, the optimum detection requires an optimization of the temporal gating acquisition parameters. LIPS calibration (sensitivity and nonlinearity) and the limit of detection (LOD) are discussed in detail. While the LOD of minor elements embedded in alloy samples obtained by sub-picosecond or sub-nanosecond laser pulses are both time and element dependent, provided an appropriate temporal window is chosen, the optimum LODs (several parts per million (ppm)) prove to be independent of the laser pulse duration. Finally, it is found that for elements such as those detected here, gated LIPS spectra using picosecond or sub-picosecond laser pulses provide much better LOD values than non-gated spectra.

Try what's coming next for Power BI!
We're very glad to announce a new update for the Power BI Designer Preview. This month's update includes new features and improvements across all major areas in the product: connectors, transformations, modeling and reports. We have also addressed lots of bugs and improved performance and stability of the Power BI Designer.
These update includes the following new features:
You can see these features in action in the following video, or read below for more details.
The first item on the list is a new connector to import data from Google Analytics. We're adding this connector not only to the Power BI Designer, but soon also to the Power BI Dashboards service. Stay tuned for upcoming service update announcements that will bring this feature.
In the Power BI Designer, this connector can be found in the "Get Data" dialog, under "Other Sources" category (or "All").
After signing in with a Google Analytics account, users will be able to browse analytics data for all sites registered with the account. Users can pick dimensions and measures in the Navigator dialog to construct a single-table output.
Users can see the table output preview building up as they select items in the Navigator tree.
Finally, they can click Load to land the entire dataset directly in the Report view, or select Edit to land a small sample of the data in the Query view.
In the Report view, users can directly start building visualizations for this data. In the Query view, they will be able to apply several data transformations based on preview data that will run against the underlying service, and they can also leverage special operations available only to Multi-Dimensional sources, such as Add or Remove items.
There are lots of interesting analytics scenarios that open up with this new connector. Think about all other data sources supported in the PBI Designer and how easy it is now to combine data from any of them with Google Analytics data to build Power BI reports.
We have added a few additional filter options for Date/Time columns in the Query view:
- Is in Year to Date.
- Today
- This Week
- This Month
- This Quarter
These options show up under the respective dropdown menu in DateTime Filters.
Note that all of these filters are dynamically calculated, so for instance, "Year to Date" means between Jan 1st 2015 & March 25th 2015 today, but it will mean a different Year and Date when we refresh our query or report in the future.
In this update, we are adding automatic relationship detection for tables loaded in the model. We're applying this detection in the following cases:
- Initial load of the table to the model.
- Refresh
- Auto-Detect button.
This is a very powerful feature, which is now also enabled automatically and will allow users to correlate data from different tables and build rich visualizations without having to worry about manually defining these relationships. This relationship detection works for all data sources supported in the Power BI Designer that do not have an underlying schema (such as Text, CSV, Web, HDFS, etc.).
You can learn more about how to create and manage relationships in the Designer by reading this Help article.
The "Add Relationship" or "Edit Relationship" dialog has been improved to include inline previews of the tables/columns being selected.
Within the "Manage Relationships" dialog, we can click "Add Relationship"… The dialog now gives us two table/column selectors with inline previews of data. This enables us to easily identify which tables/columns to use for the new relationship.
Last but certainly not least… We're adding the ability to reorder pages in the Report by drag & dropping within the Report Pages pane… This will definitely make it much easier for you to iterate on the content of your reports and move it around as needed.
We have improved performance for loading queries that do not contain any filters or transformations by ~40-50%. You should see such queries take half of the time to load or less, compared to last month's Designer bits.
As with every update, we've also fixed lots of bugs and issues reported by many of you via "Send a Frown". We encourage you to continue sending us feedback about the product and reporting any issues that you may find while working with the Power BI Designer.
We hope that you enjoy this update. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon…

An important part of good customer service is ensuring that your customer needs are being met quickly and efficiently. This means not only hearing from your customers, but analyzing how your customers and your team are interacting. This is where Power BI and Zendesk come in. Zendesk allows companies to build better relationships with their customers. Power BI allows users to import data a variety of sources to quickly gain insights into their data.
When connecting to Zendesk, Power BI gives users an even easier way to explore and monitor their Zendesk data with an out of box content pack. This content pack not only brings in the data, but also offers a dashboard and set of reports to get you started.
In this post we'll cover how to get better insights to your Zendesk data using Power BI. For additional details on how to connect and get started, jump to the Connecting to Zendesk section below.
Power BI offers an out of box content pack that connects to Zendesk and brings in a variety of important data for you to monitor.
As soon as you connect to your data, you'll see information about your tickets, agents, organizations and more. For example, at a glance you can see the number of Tickets created, solved and closed over the last 7 and 30 days. Your dashboard can be customized however you like, ensuring you have the data that is most important to you.
There are even more insights are behind each tile, in the 5 page report that comes with the dashboard. These pages include insights about Tickets, Agent Performance, Recent Activity, Activity by Agent/Group, and Ticket Activity.
Selecting the top left tile brings you to the Ticket Summary report page - showing a breakdown of tickets by status, group, channel and more. More details about interacting with reports are available here.
Selecting a visual will bring up options to change the visual type, to pin the visual or to remove it from the report. Pinning a visual will add it to your dashboard, and is a quick way to customize your dashboard with information that's important to you.
Select a value on the report to cross filter the other visuals. For example, selecting "open" in the top left, will filter the page to all the open tickets. You can also use the filter pane on the right hand side, to change the range of tickets you see based on when they were created.
Use the navigation at the bottom to browse the other pages of the report, including Agent Performance, Recent Activity, Activity by Agent and Group, Ticket Activity.
You can also chose to edit the report, which allows you to customize your reports and dashboards based on the underlying dataset. Select Edit Report in the top left corner. The view will switch to show you the field list, allowing you to access any of values and calculations included in this out of box data set – such as additional information about Users, Tickets etc. and customized calculations like Average Reply Time or Average Resolution Time. More details about editing reports can be found here.
Back on the dashboard, you can also ask questions about your data using the question box. More details about Q&A can be found here.
You can ask specific questions about your Zendesk data, such as "tickets by status" or one specific to your agents, such as "number of open tickets for Josh". The results of the questions can also be pinned to your dashboard.
To access Zendesk data in Power BI, you'll need to provide your Zendesk company URL and your credentials. Get started by navigating to www.powerbi.com and sign in with your work account. If you don't already have an account, it's quick and free to sign up!
Once in Power BI, you can connect to Zendesk through the Get Data link in the top right.
From the list of sources you can search for and select Zendesk. The landing page describes some of the details of the connector, to continue click Connect.
You've now started the import flow to view your Zendesk data in Power BI!
Next, enter your Zendesk company URL - this will be in the form "https://company.zendesk.com". You can find more details about what to specify at https://www.zendesk.com/login
When prompted, enter your Zendesk credentials. If you have pop-ups allowed you may automatically be prompted. If not, select oAuth 2 as the Authentication Mechanism and click Sign In.
Follow the Zendesk authentication flow. Note that these credentials must be an Admin for your account. (If you are already signed in to Zendesk in your browser, you may not be prompted for credentials.) After signing in, click Allow to allow Power BI to access your Zendesk data.
Click Connect to begin the import process. Once completed, a new dashboard, report and model will appear in the Navigation Pane. Your data is now in Power BI for you to monitor and explore!

Dwyer likely to start against Redskins
POWER RANKINGSWhich teams are looking up in this week's NFL power rankings?
A week after having the best performance by a Steelers running back this season, Jonathan Dwyer will likely get another chance to be a feature back.
Dwyer, No. 3 on Pittsburgh's depth chart, expects to start Sunday when the Steelers (3-3) host Washington (3-4).
Dwyer had a career-high 122 rushing yards in last week's win at Cincinnati after being deactivated the previous two games. With Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman out with injury, Dwyer took advantage of his opportunity.
Mendenhall, who has an Achilles injury, did not practice all week and will not play against the Redskins.
Redman (right ankle sprain) improved as the week went on, and said Friday ''I feel like I'm ready to go. He did concede, though, that he's awaiting approval from coaches. Officially, Redman is questionable.
Kicker Shaun Suisham has been bothered by an ankle injury but is probable for Sunday.
The Steelers have known all week they will be without safety Troy Polamalu and right tackle Marcus Gilbert.

If the talks break down in Northern Ireland this weekend, blame Conservative Party leader David Cameron.
Last week, Cameron arranged a secret meeting with his party and the two Ulster Unionist parties in an effort to get some Orange votes in his corner if the next British election is close.
Cameron's move instantly aroused deep suspicions among nationalists who have seen this game before, where Unionist votes are traded for pro-unionist policies in Northern Ireland.
Cameron appears to be willing to put the North's fragile peace process at risk in order to find some grubby votes among unionism to bolster his number of seats in the next election.
He is playing with fire. There is a long and sad history of the Orange card in Northern Ireland politics. Successive Labor administrations have done an excellent job of maintaining relations with both sides in Northern Ireland and never appearing to tip too much one way or the other.
That is what is needed to put together a settlement which has survived all efforts to bring it down.
Now the DUP are strengthened in their belief that if they hold out against Sinn Fein and the devolving of justice and policing to Northern Ireland, they will get a better deal under Cameron.
Instead, Cameron may find his first order of business, if he is elected, to be a massive crisis in the Irish political process and possibly its disintegration.
Is a few Unionist votes really worth all that much to him? History would suggest the answer may be yes. It would be an act of the most awful political folly.

DOD Food Inventory:
Using Private Sector Practices Can Reduce Costs and Eliminate Problems
NSIAD-93-110: Published: Jun 4, 1993. Publicly Released: Jun 4, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the U.S. military food supply system, focusing on: (1) the Department of Defense's (DOD) and private food industry's inventory management practices to supply food to the services; and (2) whether DOD could adopt any practices that might reduce its logistics costs.
GAO found that: (1) while food inventories at DOD depots and warehouses are extensive and retained over long periods because of an inefficient, multilayered, and redundant supply system, private industry food inventories are streamlined, competitive, efficient, and maintained at low inventory levels; (2) DOD could avoid unnecessary operational costs and increase its operational efficiency and quality of service by increasing its use of private-sector distributors; (3) reliable DOD operational cost estimates are not available because DOD does not maintain food cost data on warehouse activities; (4) DOD has been able to reduce costs and improve food quality and customer service through its limited use of private-sector distributors; (5) DOD inventory reduction and food supply system modification efforts include eliminating some depot storage functions, increasing the frequency of depot deliveries, adopting industry-type contracting methods, implementing direct delivery programs, consolidating local item procurements, and developing automated systems to enhance communications between depots, warehouses, and distributors; and (6) DOD does not have immediate plans to expand its use of distributors or eliminate its existing food supply system because commercial distributors are often precluded from supplying items because of military packaging and ingredient specifications, government-unique contract requirements, and uncertainties regarding distributors' ability to deliver items to ships and other end-users.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On August 16, 1993, DOD tasked the services and the Defense Logistics Agency to conduct a demonstration project on an expanded use of distributors for peacetime troop feeding. The project began in early 1994 and will end by October 1995.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct all four services and the Defense Logistics Agency to conduct a demonstration project of an expanded use of distributors for peacetime troop feeding within the continental United States. This project should involve a variety of installations and end-users and should test distribution of food items directly to end-users where feasible. It should also address identified concerns, such as those of some small businesses.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: As part of a test begun in January 1995 to expand the food prime vendor program to dining facilities in the southeastern United States, DOD will measure the monetary cost and benefits, customer satisfaction, and distributor performance by comparing the traditional military food supply system to the prime vendor method. This action is in line with the intent of this recommendation, and no further followup is required.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should ensure that DOD collects accurate information about its food distribution costs, including ordering and inventory holding costs, operating costs of base warehouse activities, and distribution costs of end-users receiving food items from base warehouse activities.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The intent of this recommendation has been achieved. In 1994, DLA began testing the use of prime vendors to supply food to military dining facilities. By the end of 1997, DLA plans to have prime vendors supporting all military dining halls in the continental United States. Since 1994, DLA has reduced peacetime inventories by over 40 percent. In a test of the prime vendor concept in a four-state area, DOD estimated it saved about $17 million in food inventory reductions and related costs. As a result, service officials said that they have been able to vacate warehouses that had been required to store food items.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should ensure that DOD eliminates base warehouse activities that are close to one another and have redundant functions.

No. 24 Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) at Penn State (3-2, 1-0), Noon (ESPN)
Line: Penn State by 2 ½.
Series Record: Penn State leads 12-3.
No. 24 Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) at Penn State (3-2, 1-0), Noon (ESPN)
Line: Penn State by 2 ½.
Series Record: Penn State leads 12-3.
Back in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2008, Northwestern is trying for its first 6-0 start since 1962. Beat a streaking Penn State team on the road and the Wildcats might need to be taken more seriously as a Legends Division title contender. Penn State is trying for its fourth straight win under new coach Bill O'Brien. A homecoming weekend victory against Northwestern's tricky offense would give O'Brien's Lions a confidence boost heading into their bye week.
Northwestern front seven vs. Penn State running game. The Wildcats can move the ball. That's a given. Defense is another story. Northwestern is last in the Big Ten against the pass but first against the run, albeit against some questionable competition. With their running game finding its stride behind bruising 6-foot-1 sophomore Zach Zwinak, the Nittany Lions might try to play keep-away from the Wildcats' exhausting offense with their own long, sustained drives.
Northwestern: QB Kain Colter. The "slash" is back for the Northwestern offense. After playing strictly quarterback over the season's first four games, Colter returned to the quarterback-receiver role he played in 2011 in last week's 44-29 win over Indiana. The result? Nearly 300 all-purpose yards and four rushing touchdowns. Penn State defensive coordinator Ted Roof and his players will have to keep close watch on where Colter is lined up at all times.

How do I disable this at build time? Is it a system.prop or a build variable? Maybe Qualcomm turned it on by default, and I have to delete some line? Anyone have a hint?

Customer Experience Management provider Tahzoo today announced its top 10 predictions for marketers in 2013. In 2012, Tahzoo educated Fortune 500 companies on the importance of delivering engaging, relevant and persuasive customer experiences. The firm's roster of clients includes Costco, DirecTV, Nationwide, Abbott Nutrition and KeyBank.
"New Year 2013 will usher in a hyper-focus on developing successful customer experience initiatives with personalized, relevant content across any channel, device or platform," said Tahzoo CEO Brad Heidemann. "That success hinges on a number of complex factors ranging from organizational change management and governance to making mobile less of an afterthought. And the payoff will be felt in the bottom line, from sales to valuation. Next year will truly be a fascinating year to witness the successes and the missed opportunities."
Tahzoo 2013 predictions include:
1. The evolution from multi-channel to omni-channel marketing. It is no longer sufficient to reach out to consumers across distinct channels. It is the sofa shopper who will simultaneously watch TV, and shop on their tablets while texting with friends from their mobile device. Expectations are for a connected experience that not only moves from device to device, but is relevant within the context of a very limited attention span.
2. Differentiated experiences driven through the next generation of personalization. With the advance of enterprise marketing platforms such as SDL, IBM and Adobe, marketers are going to embrace dynamic publishing and algorithmic recommendations to deliver more engaging, relevant and most importantly, persuasive customer experiences.
3. Social marketing will enter the 4th stage of maturity. The days of simply having a Facebook page or Tweeting about your products are gone. While social media has become a powerful customer service and PR channel, its real value is as a source of social intelligence that provides the behavioral and attitudinal insight needed to add the dimensions of context and real-time to the marketing mix.
4. Organizational Change Management and Governance will become top topics for customer experience initiatives. With the increased emphasis on creating and delivering engaging, relevant and persuasive customer experiences, organizations, teams and brands will have to recognize that in addition to programs and technologies, they will need to drive cooperation, collaboration and alignment across the different parts of the enterprise. Companies will begin to look at the creation of Change Experience Management Offices (CxMO) as the means to maximize the business value and ROI of their investments.
5. Managed Service Offerings will begin to be used by large enterprises to experiment with and drive quick-to-market enterprise marketing solutions. As with other enterprise technologies, enterprise marketing suites will become available in the cloud and will enable brands to experiment with new capabilities without the need for capital investment and long and complex IT projects.
6. Mobile will become less of an add-on or afterthought from a delivery perspective and become a more integral part of the full digital experience. Mobile will evolve from a distinct channel to a strategic component of the overall digital experience. Brands will begin to integrate the experience across devices, platforms and situations.
7. Responsive Design will be coupled with contextual marketing to drive effective mobile experiences. While there will be continued growth in responsive designs for mobile (phone and tablet), the increased expectations of the mobile audiences will force brands to understand and accommodate the contextually different expectations audiences have for a mobile experience.
8. Marketing departments will become the active decision makers in the selection and purchase of enterprise marketing technology including CMS, CRM and marketing automation suites. IT departments will be more responsible to marketing / channel groups and more reliant on their budget dollars for their resources. Decisions will become focused on the business' need rather than the system architecture.
9. Global brands will embrace a balance between centralized control and local needs. Centralized global marketing organizations will increasingly become more vigilant regarding brand standards and compliance while simultaneously granting greater independence for local marketers to respond to their individual customer needs.
10. More CMOs will be recruited for their left brain skills. As companies continue to leverage data, technology and analytics to define and optimize customer experiences, they will increasingly look for leaders who have one foot in the world of technology and the other still squarely in the world of creative and brand.
About Tahzoo
Tahzoo, a customer experience marketing firm, develops and delivers strategic customer experience management consulting services from digital marketing strategy to organizational change management and technical implementation, support and optimization of integrated enterprise marketing platforms with expertise and emphasis on SDL.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

David Pentland
Latest info : After spending most of 2008 and first part of 2009 working on a series of Star Wars painting, all of which have been sold, David has since been working on a series of original pencil drawings. At the time of writing, the first 30 or so are available. All of the drawings carry original signatures of German Knights Cross holders and a selection have been matted to include the signatures of other, now deceased, Knights Cross holders. Most of these original pencil drawings have also been produced as very limited edition art prints.
One of Europe's Leading Military and Aviation Artists, David Pentland has produced a wealth of Paintings for Cranston Fine arts, who are proud to have David as one of their leading Artists. As you browse down his wonderful work you may be interested to know that many of the Paintings are still available, and to a collector his work would certainly be a valuable addition. David's Paintings have gone up in value over the past 2 years, and have seen a growth in value of nearly 100%.
