Research Interests
I'm interested in understanding the processes that are needed to regulate stem cells throughout life. Adult stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells or germline stem cells, have the remarkable ability to continually self-renew and replenish differentiated cells that need to be replaced. Normal tissue homeostasis requires precise control over stem cell division and differentiation, and unregulated stem cell growth is a pathologic feature of cancers and disease. Regulation of stem cells is achieved by both extrinsic signals and intrinsic factors that instruct the cell either to self-renew/divide or to differentiate into mature cells. Investigations into stem cell regulation have demonstrated that stem cells reside within sophisticated microenvironments, called niches, where neighboring cells provide the signaling milieu needed for regulating self-renewal and differentiation. The molecular mechanisms needed to maintain stem cells within these niches, however, are still unclear. I'm applying biochemical, genetic and cell biology approaches to understand the molecular components involved stem cell maintenance and niche function.

Let's try this again. T.I. is a free man once more after being released from prison yesterday. No, you're not having deja vu; the rap star was initially sprung from the slammer on August 31st, but he only spent a day in his Atlanta-area halfway house before being ordered back into federal custody due to a "transport dispute." Although the true reason is hotly debated by both sides, the official explanation from the Feds is that they weren't down with T.I.'s luxury bus, as well as the unauthorized peeps on board. Apparently Tip can't have whatever he likes. His wife "Tiny" Cottle calls BS, saying that the prison officials were fully aware of the pimped out ride, and even posed for pictures with it!
There were also rumors that the rapper conducted business aboard the bus with a camera crew for his upcoming VH1 reality series, but those reports have been fiercely denied by T.I. and his team. "T.I. did not intend to violate his transfer furlough or any other B.O.P. rules en route from the prison facility in Arkansas to the halfway house in Atlanta," his lawyer Steve Sadow told TMZ. But now the issue has been resolved and T.I. has returned to the Dismas Charities halfway house, where he is to remain until September 29th. And not to worry, T.I. fans: the first pix released of him show that the King still has his swag.

Product description
Graham Hancock, an expert in ancient civilisations and author of the 7 million selling Fingerprints of the Gods, and expert too, on the use of hallucinogens to achieve higher states of consciousness, brings these two interests together in the second volume of the War God trilogy. The conquistador Hernan Cortes is dreaming of Tenochtitlan, the golden city of Aztecs. But in order to win the Aztecs' gold, Cortes and his small force of just five hundred men will have to defeat the psychotic emperor Moctezuma and the armies of hundreds of thousands he commands. Cortes expects that the warlike Tlascalans, hereditary enemies of the Aztecs, will join him, but instead finds himself locked in a deadly struggle. Even as Cortes risks all in the bloody campaign against the Tlascalans, he plays mind games with Moctezuma, aiming to dismantle the Aztec emperor's confidence and defeat him psychologically before ever having to face him on the battlefield. In this he is aided by his lover Malinal, a beautiful Mayan princess. It is from Malinal that Cortes learns of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, 'The Plumed Serpent'. She shows him how to exploit the prophecy of the fabled god king's return to weaken Moctezuma's resolve and keep alive the suspicion that the conquistador might actually be Quetzalcoatl himself. Meanwhile Malinal's friend, the witch Tozi, wages a supernatural war of her own against Hummingbird, the terrifying demon the Aztecs worship as a god, and against the evil sorcerer Acopol who does his bidding.

Author information
As East Africa correspondent of The Economist in the early eighties Graham Hancock began to write a series of highly acclaimed books on economics, politics and foreign aid. His life took a whole new turn when he became fascinated by rumours that the Ark of the Covenant is real artefact, hidden somewhere in northern Africa. The story of his detective work, tracking it down to its supposed final resting place became the international bestseller The Sign and the Seal (now in production as a feature film.) More bestsellers in the field of 'alternative history' followed, including Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis (the latter co-authored with Robert Bauval) and Heaven's Mirror. In Supernatural he described his experiences journeying to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs amongst tribes people for whom they represent a gateway into supernatural realms. His ideas on exploring new dimensions in consciousness became the subject of his controversial TED talks. Graham Hancock's books have been translated into twenty-seven languages and have sold over nine million copies worldwide. His public lectures and broadcasts, including two major TV series for Channel 4, Quest for the Lost Civilisation, and Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age, have further established his reputation as an unconventional thinker who raises controversial questions about humanity's past.
Review quote
Reviews for War God: Nights of the Witch : ...part historical fact, part fantasy, the effect is as intense as the events themselves. It's a fascinating read that will have you booking a flight to Mexico long before you finish the book. Evening Standard The book offers up a heady mix of action, politics, spirituality and the supernatural and we learn a lot...Convincing fantasy elements and viscerally recreated details keep the narrative charging forward. Daily Mail Five hundred years ago the old Mexican prophecy which announced the return of Quetzalcoatl came true. In an era dominated by human sacrifices and the decadence of a great culture, bearded men, white-faced, from beyond the sea, arrived to impose their law. In this fast-moving highly recommended novel, Graham Hancock masterfully reconstructs the biggest clash of civilizations ever, revealing aspects that only a genius author could unveil. Javier Sierra New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Supper and The Lost Angel Interweaving historical fact and vivid fiction, Graham Hancock's War God is packed full of blood, guts, conflict, sacrifice and witchcraft in the last days of the Aztec empire. The story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the downfall of Moctezuma is the perfect (if very gory) distraction from modern life. Wanderlust

The Albert Taylor Theatre has served as the main stage for many Millikin University activities from the opening of the University in 1903 on through to today. In the Spring of 2006, the theatre was reopened after the completion of an initial phase of remodeling and in honor of that reopening, the University Archives Spring 2006 exhibit was dedicated to the history of that great hall. The essential elements of that exhibit have been preserved here and divided into sections just as the original exhibit was. The exhibit also included a trivia timeline that connected the two exhibit areas and those questions and answers also appear here in the trivia section.

Who Was ALBERT TAYLOR? The man behind the theatre's name.
Albert Reynolds Taylor was born in October of 1846 in a log house near Magnolia, Illinois. He graduated from Lincoln University in 1872 and began teaching biology and zoology there until 1882 when he was selected to be president of the State Normal School of Kansas in Emporia, Kansas. He served there until 1901 when he was selected to be the first president of the Decatur College and Industrial School of the James Millikin University (today's Millikin University). He helped James Millikin's vision of a university in Decatur become a reality and presided over its opening ceremonies in the fall of 1903. He served as President of the University until 1913 when he retired and traveled around the U.S., but was called back to resume the Millikin presidency in 1915. He served this second time until he retired again in 1919. He was called back a third time into temporary service for a short period in 1924. In his career, Taylor wrote several books on education, a history of Millikin University, and his own autobiography. He died in 1929 and his funeral services were held in the auditorium which would be dedicated in his name ten years later. He is buried in Emporia, Kansas, the home of the other Albert Taylor Hall (on the campus of Emporia State University). One of the earliest traditions of Millikin University involved both the theatre and Albert Taylor. Known as the "Flower Shower" it occurred every October during Taylor's time at Millikin and involved students surprising Mr. Taylor and his wife by "showering" them with flowers to honor his birthday and wedding anniversary, both of which were in October. It usually occurred during one of the morning chapel services held in the theatre.
What's in a Name? The many names of Millikin's original theatre.
The Albert Taylor Theatre has had several names in its 100+ year history, including: Assembly Hall, University Auditorium, the Chapel, Albert Taylor Hall, and of course, the Albert Taylor Theatre as it is now known.
On Tuesday morning, Sept 15, 1903, the opening ceremonies for the new James Millikin University were held in the "Assembly Hall" in the center of the Liberal Arts Hall building. Prospective students, their families and friends filled the seats of the theatre and even James Millikin himself was seated in his private box to the right of the stage. Six years later in 1909, Mr. Millikin's funeral would be held in this same great hall.
Originally, the hall now known as the Albert Taylor Theatre was simply known as "Assembly Hall" This name appeared as the official name of the theatre in the JMU Bulletin, and on most of the programs, ticket stubs, posters and event notices until the early 1910's when it gradually gave way to another name.
The program and ticket stub below are from the Millikin Glee Club's 2nd Annual concert in April of 1910, both showing the venue as "Assembly Hall." When the 3rd Annual concert came around in April of 1911, the venue was the same but the name had changed to "University Auditorium" as can be seen in the poster for that concert in the next section of the exhibit.
Although unofficially used as early as 1905, the name "University Auditorium" or "Millikin Auditorium" began to appear on programs and notices for events to be held in the theatre by 1911.
In 1915, the JMU Bulletin recognized the name change in its description of the theatre, calling it the "University Auditorium" after 12 years of calling it "Assembly Hall." It would appear on programs and notices varyingly as "University Auditorium," "Millikin Auditorium," or "JMU Auditorium."
There is no known reason why this name change occurred as it did, but the "University Auditorium" name lasted as the official name for the theatre until 1939 when it was remodeled and dedicated to Albert Taylor.
Above: 1911 Glee Club Concert poster
Above: 1939 Program (the last w/ the "University Auditorium" name)
From the beginning of Millikin University in 1903, the theatre quickly developed an unofficial nickname due to one of its most frequent uses. Whether the name was officially "Assembly Hall" or "University Auditorium," Millikin's earliest students often just called the theatre "the Chapel."
This name developed out of the fact that when the school opened in 1903, students were required to attend daily chapel services held in the theatre. Students quickly got into the habit of calling the theatre "the Chapel," and this nickname even made its way onto the occasional notice or program, such as the one below.
When Albert Taylor died in 1929, there was considerable discussion as to how Millikin should honor its first president. When the new library was built a year later, there was push to have it named for Taylor but eventually it would be dedicated in 1931 as Gorin Hall.
Finally, in 1939, as the "University Auditorium" was completing its first major remodeling, the idea emerged to honor Taylor by dedicating the newly remodeled theatre to him. When it came time for homecoming in October of 1939, the university had decided to do just that. The same "Assembly Hall" in which Taylor had presided over the opening of the university in 1903, and the same "University Auditorium" in which his funeral was held in 1929 was dedicated as "Albert Taylor Hall" on October 28th, 1939.
It would be almost 50 years before a new name emerged for this historic Millikin venue.
By the late 1980s, event programs, like the one at right from 1987, started to call "Albert Taylor Hall," the "Albert Taylor Theatre," and it wasn't long before the MU Bulletin followed suit and officially started referring to the theatre as the "Albert Taylor Theatre."
The name continues to be the official name of the venue today.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! The many faces of Millikin's original theatre.
The Albert Taylor Theatre has changed its look almost as often as it has changed its name. The original design for the Albert Taylor Theatre was made by the Chicago architectural firm of Patton and Miller as part of their overall design for the Liberal Arts Hall building (today's Shilling Hall). In the original configuration, there were two special box-seating areas that flanked the stage on either side (these can be seen in the stage view photo at the top of this page and also immediately below in the seating chart image below). The east box was reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Millikin, while the west box was reserved for the president of the university. The first remodeling took place in 1939, during which all the original wood seats were replaced. In 1952-53, the private boxes were removed to make room for a pipe organ installation. There have been a few more remodelings since then, including the most recent one, the first phase of which was completed in the spring of 2006. The total number of seats has been reduced through these remodels but the theatre has gained some structural and technological upgrades.
A Hub of Activity! The many uses of Millikin's original theatre.
From opening of the university in 1903, the Albert Taylor Theatre (then Assembly Hall) has been the hub of student and faculty life at Millikin University. In 1971, the Kirkland Fine Arts Center opened and took over as the main stage, but the Albert Taylor Theatre continues to provide Millikin students and faculty with a venue for their events. Over the more than 100 years it has existed, the theatre has hosted a wide variety of programs and activities including: commencements and baccalaureates; classes and lecture series; inter-society contests and debates; chapel and assemblies/convocations; classic and international film series; "Greek" sings and talent shows; amateur nights and variety shows; theatrical productions and dance recitals; student and faculty recitals; concerts and guest performances; funeral and memorial services; Black Emphasis Week activities and student/faculty forums; fine arts series; style shows and other departmental programs; it was even the center ring for the JMU Circus one year!
This legend concerns the haunting of the Albert Taylor Theatre. According to the book, The Ghosts of Millikin by Troy Taylor, the Albert Taylor Theatre is haunted by the ghost of a young girl, known as the "Rail Girl."
According to Taylor, production crew members leave out candy for "Rail Girl" to ensure no disruptions for their shows.
To read more about, "Rail Girl," you can find the book on reserve in Staley Library or in the University Archives. (item is found on p. 51)
Did a "Young Communists" group really riot at Albert Taylor Hall in 1950? If you simply glance at an old Decaturian from that year, you might think so. The March 31st issue contained the article which appears at right on its front page. This however requires more careful scrutiny as the tradition of the Decaturian "April Fool's" issue was in full swing at that time and the the March 31st issue was the "April Fool's" issue that year. The elaborate hoax was even set up in the previous week's paper which contained the front page meeting notice which appears below.
Who's Who of Guest Appearances?
Prior to the opening of Kirkland Fine Arts Center in 1971, the Albert Taylor Hall (or Assembly Hall/University Auditorium) was the primary venue for guest speaker/performers who visited Millikin University. From the opening of the University in 1903 until the opening of Kirkland Fine Arts center, it was Millikin's "Main Stage." Below you will see a breakdown of the some of those who appeared on the Albert Taylor stage between 1903 and 1970, it should be noted that not all guest performers appeared on the Albert Taylor stage when they visited Millikin during those years as several other Decatur area venues were sometimes utilized. Only those who actually appeared on the Albert Taylor stage are listed here. The list is broken down into categories, but they should not be considered complete lists.

Why is there a team blog for BlueIQ?
Wolfgang Kulhanek 0100002R6H email@example.com | | Emneord:  blueiq blog team-blog | 1 kommentarer | 1.818 besøg
BlueIQ team decide on a team blog rather than an individual blog for every team member?
To be completely honest, we are struggling with the same realities that all of you have to deal with:
Therefore we decided to create this blog as a team blog. This way we can manage an editorial calendar - and when necessary every single one of us can post additional blog posts making the blog even more valuable.
You'll also see that we are running a very flat team - for example I own the Social Business Adoption mission at IBM - yet this is only the third post on the blog. A lot of other teams would have insisted on the leader to kick off the blog. Here we feel that all of our opinions are equally valuable and whoever has something valuable to add should do so.
What kind of content will be be posting about here? Basically everything that has to do with Social Business adoption both inside and outside of an enterprise - obviously from a point of view that reflects what IBM does in this space.
As Josh mentioned the BlueIQ team will be attending Lotusphere 2012 in Orlando next week - if you would like to get in touch with us please comment on any of our blog posts - we'd love to meet you!
Any time we attend industry events we'll post our impressions here on this blog, too. So you'll see probably quite a few blog posts during and after Lotusphere 2012.
I just agreed to present a keynote at the Organization Science Winter Conference in Steamboat Springs, CO on February 9th. This academic conference focuses on "Formal Organizations Meet Social Networking" and I'll be talking about IBM's journey so far and looking forward. You can of course expect a blog post from me on that event as well.
The team is really looking forward to the conversations on this blog!
Congrats on the keynote!! Please keep me posted on how it goes. I'd love to see your deck and hear how the conference goes!

Full detailed profile on Lisa Miller Hughes Eldridge Shea Colman McColl Mitchell Grimaldi Played by Eileen Fulton on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Eileen Fulton
Birthday: 1933-09-13
In the kitchen, Holden, Emma and Lily gather to talk about everything the children are upset about. Lucinda comes in after discovering a letter and explains that Faith has applied to boarding school behind their backs... and she was accepted. They bring Faith in and confront her about this. She says that things have changed too much and she can't stay. She's actually enthusiastic about going off to school because she wants to pursue her writing. After she walks out on them, Lily follows her into the living room and asks her if she really wants to leave because of Damian. She admits that, at first, that was the reason, but now she genuinely wants to go for her writing. Holden comes in dressed as Santa. Ethan brings him cookies. Holden laughs and assures him that he is, indeed, the real Santa. As he hands him a gift, however, Luke walks in dressed as Santa. After an awkward moment, Luke claims that he is Santa's brother. Ethan pulls off his beard and laughs.
In Fashions, Lily and Meg pound on each other. "Damian loves me!" Meg screams. "You are crazy!" Lily shouts. Lisa comes in and stops them. She calls Damian over. When he arrives, with Holden trailing behind him, he manages to stop the battle. Lily tells Holden that his sister has gone off the deep end.
Rosanna goes to Fashions to return her wedding dress. She tells Lisa that the whole wedding was a very bad fit. Carly walks in and tells her sister that she should have a custom made dress. Rosanna lays into her. Lisa rolls her eyes. "Oh brother. Not again," she sighs. Carly follows her sister outside and tries to explain what happened with Craig. She insists that Craig loves her as much as he can love anyone. Carly encourages her to, "Marry the jerk."
Lily's in shock when she runs into Maeve and Holden on the street. "What are you doing with my husband?" Lily demands. Holden tells her to calm down and explains that Maeve was as much of a victim of Ebb as he was. They explain how they helped each other and Lily apologizes. "A good husband is hard to find. But some people are greedy with them," Maeve snipes. They bicker. Holden ends it and Lily asks him to come and see the kids later. After she walks away, Maeve asks Holden if he still wants Lily back.

Margo tells him she could not be prouder of him and coaxes him back inside.
At the Lakeview, Lisa, Bob and Kim make a toast to Casey. Kim tells him he is terrific for helping Casey. Bob kisses her and says, "You're great, too, Lisa!" Kim asks if he is trying to be funny, but Bob looks at her confused. Kim takes his drink and laughs that perhaps he has had a bit too much.

Devonte M. Hamlet was arrested Jan. 22 on allegations that he robbed a family during a home invasion the night of Jan. 10 at Island Club Apartments, near East Wallen and Auburn roads. He now faces preliminary charges linking him to another robbery the same night at Cambridge Square Apartments, near Coldwater and East Cook roads.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed Monday, Hamlet and another man, both armed with handguns, entered a unit at Cambridge Square Apartments, bound three men with zip ties and stole valuables and about $600 in cash. In the process, Hamlet pistol-whipped one of the men, leaving a gash on his head, the affidavit said.
That man managed to break free of the zip ties and got a handgun from a closet. As the robbers were leaving, he fired at Hamlet from the top of a staircase, the affidavit said.
Hamlet and the other robber left the scene, and minutes later, Hamlet was dropped off at the Parkview Hospital emergency room on Randallia Drive, with two gunshot wounds, the affidavit stated.
Police later tested a black garbage bag that Hamlet used to gather valuables at the apartment and found his fingerprints on it, the affidavit said.
During an investigation into the other robbery reported earlier that night, a woman told police she was followed into Island Club Apartments and that two men forced her into her apartment at gunpoint. The men bound her hands and those of two others, including a toddler, before leaving with valuables. No one was hurt, police said.
In that case, police discovered Hamlet's fingerprints on duct tape that was used to bind one of the victims, court papers stated.
In the robbery at Island Club Apartments, Hamlet was formally charged with two counts of robbery and three counts of criminal confinement. In the robbery at Cambridge Square Apartments, he was preliminarily charged with burglary resulting in bodily injury, battery with a deadly weapon, three counts of robbery and three counts of criminal confinement.
Hamlet, of the 3500 block of Smith Street, was being held at the Allen County Jail in lieu of $145,000 bail. The accomplice remains at large.
The rash of 13 similar apartment robberies started Jan. 7, and the most recent occurred Jan. 18. Police have said they cannot definitively link all the holdups and that they don't believe all of them were committed by the same one or two people.
While police have said they have suspects other than Hamlet, no one else has been arrested.

DURHAM, N.H. - Somersworth (N.H) native Melissa Heon scored a career-high 24 points, including four three-pointers, to lead the University of Maine to a 68-65 America East women's basketball victory over the University of New Hampshire Tuesday night at Lundholm Gymnasium.
With the win, the Black Bears improved to 15-10 overall (8-6 America East) and leapfrogged the Wildcats (13-11, 7-6 America East) in the conference standings. Heon was also a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line for Maine, which shot 92 percent (23-25) from the charity stripe compared to UNH's 10-21 (.476) effort. Maren Matthias (Guilford, Conn.) led UNH with a team-high 12 points and five rebounds while Heather Ernest had 17 points and nine boards for the Black Bears.
With the score tied at 52-52, Anna Matthias (Guilford, Conn.) and Geneva Livingston (Red Bank, N.J.) hit back-to-back three-pointers to stake UNH to a 58-52 lead with 6:25 remaining. Maine responded with a 7-0 run, capped by Eva Moldre's bucket, to take a one-point lead (59-58) with 4:07 left. The 'Cats answered with consecutive baskets by Heidi Plencner (Hampton, N.H.) and Kiki Proctor (Harrisburg, Pa.) to grab a 63-59 advantage with 3:02 to go, but did score again until Colleen Mullen's (Chelmsford, Mass.) layup with seven seconds remaining made it 66-65 in favor of Maine. After two free throws from Heon, the Wildcats had a chance to tie, but Mullen was unable to get a shot off as time expired. The Black Bears were clutch down the stretch, converting on 7 of 8 opportunities from the line in the game's final 2:24.
Livingston and Anna Matthias each finished with 10 points for UNH. Plencner finished with six points, moving her past former Wildcat player and coach Kathy Sanborn and into 10th place on UNH's all-time scoring list. The 5-8 senior guard and Winnacunnett (Hampton, N.H.) High grad now has 932 points in her UNH career.
The Wildcats return to action Saturday (2/23) when they travel to Binghamton .

Processes are student initiated and designed to facilitate the student's concern being heard and to outline steps to resolve the complaint. It is important that the student be an active and informed participant in the process. The student may move to the formal complaint process at any time after the informal process. Access to this process will be provided to all students. Students may seek a copy of the Student Complaint Procedures Handbook in the following areas:
Students are encouraged to resolve complaints informally and use the formal complaint procedure only as a last resort.

Does Fascism Run In the Bush Family? Apparently So (many new links and old ones fixed)
  I put up an article about the Bush family legacy this morning, only to find the link to it has gone down, and several other links to the same audio tape from BBC Radio have similarly disappeared from the web, at the same time. As a matter of fact the whole website the first link connected to is down, entirely. When the right information, on the wrong subject, gets the wrong attention on the web, it often goes missing, I've noticed. Anyway, though, I have found the original link to BBC Radio, and a series of links that explore the covered information and will list them at the bottom of this article for your perusal.
  What they cover is the remarkable fact that George W. Bush isn't the first fascist in the family, he shares that distinction with his honorable Grandfather, Prescott Bush. In point of fact Prescott was a conspirator in a plot to overthrow the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Government, along with many of the other elite of his time. Their plan was to install a fascist Hitler style government with the figurehead of Smedley Butler, a famous 2 time medal of honor winner and general of the Marine Corps at the helm. What they hadn't counted on was his disgust with their kind, and his playing of them till he could split the whole affair wide open in a congressional investigation. Why haven't you heard of this bit of WII history? Well, because the people with the money all denied their involvement, of course, and rallied all the political muscle they could purchase to bury it, and of course, our country needed the industrial might of many of the plotters to go uninterrupted during the war years, as well, so the investigation died with a whimper, but it did issue a report to congress that has been unearthed to testify to their conclusion the plot was real. In any case, this story has been one of the most under reported stories of WWII. Â

A week ago, I had a pair of Frye boots arrive on my doorstep. They were beaten up, had worn down heels, separation on one boot. But they were gloriously broken in, the soles were still in tact and good to go, no big rips in the leather and they only cost me $25. So I mosied down the street to my local shoe guy and dropped them off.
I hadn't used this particular shoe repair place since I never could figure out their hours (apparently they are just closed on Mondays, and my attempts were always on a Monday).. but that sorted out, it was a lot closer than my previous shoe repair place.
A week later, I wandered back in and found what looked like a brand spankin' new pair of Frye boots. Only the insides were soft and squishy, broken in and wonderful. The heels had been replaced, the sole repaired, polished up and ready to go.
|Simple, but tough
Next goal - find a pair of Dr Martens.

Ever since hearing that Steve Jobs had "cracked" the TV industry, Apple fans have been waiting for the day the company would release an actual television set. For now, Apple has given us the Apple TV set-top box, but some analysts now believe that Apple is gearing up to deliver an actual television in the next few years. Ming-Chi Kuo today noted that an updated Apple TV box running on Apple's new A7 processor is expected in 2014, with an actual television set to follow in 2015 or 2016. The prediction also includes a warning that Apple TV sales will be limited unless Apple can find a way to integrate new TV services and content.
We expect Apple to launch a new version of the Apple TV with an A7 processor in 2014, and we forecast 2014 shipments to total 8.2mn units. Shipment growth will be limited unless Apple is able to integrate more TV content, services and its App Store, in our view.
We believe the slowdown in Apple TV shipments suggests Apple faces challenges in integrating TV content and services. If Apple wants to launch iTV, the challenges of integrating content and service are more difficult considering the different TV content ecosystems (e.g. cable operators) in various countries. Moreover, establishing an iTV supply chain is very costly. Thus we believe iTV launch will be delayed to end-2015 or early 2016 at the earliest.

Talk to any scout about 20-year-old Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio -- property of the Minnesota Timberwolves since they selected him with the No. 5 pick in the 2009 draft -- and he'll rave about his ball-handling skills, court vision, uncanny instincts and ability to make jaw-dropping plays in the open floor. Ask them about his shooting, though, and ... well, the tune changes.
"That's his biggest issue," one personnel executive told Sporting News. "I mean, a lot of point guards are playmakers who can't shoot, and you can get them to develop a good enough shot -- a guy like Rajon Rondo, for example. But the things that scares you about Rubio a little is that he hasn't gotten very far with his jumper."
In fact, statistically speaking, Rubio has regressed a bit in 13 games for FC Barcelona this season. He is shooting just 17.9 percent from beyond the 3-point line, according to Euroleague.net, after shooting 35.8 percent on 3s last year -- though the line was moved out between seasons. In three games of Euroleague Top 16 play, he has shot just 1-for-9 from the 3-point line.
Rubio himself is not concerned with his continued shooting woes. "I consider myself a player who does not score a lot because shooting is not my strong suit," Rubio told The Associated Press. "So from a very young age I had to look for other ways to help my team, like giving assists and defending, and those were two things I have focused on intensely."
Rubio does average 4.1 assists and 1.9 steals over 22.1 minutes per game.
The Wolves drafted point guard Jonny Flynn immediately after Rubio, and as Flynn has struggled -- he had hip surgery over the summer -- he has reportedly been put on the trading block. Rubio could be the Timberwolves' point guard of the future, but there still remains plenty of doubt whether he is willing to play in Minnesota, or if he'll keep playing in Europe until the Timberwolves trade his rights to a team in a bigger market.

A tour offered by a local park will give visitors a chance to see some Eastern Kentucky wildlife.
Buckhorn Lark State Park Resort will be offering Elk Tours this year on private land not normally open to tours. A similar tour will be offered by one other state park, Jenny Wiley in Floyd County.
Elk were originally native to the area but were over hunted and became virtually extinct. After a relocation and repopulation project, the elk population is flourishing in the area. According to the Kentucky State Park system this is one of the biggest wildlife management success stories having around 10,000 elk in Kentucky.
The tours will only be held on select dates in the fall and winter at both Buckhorn and Jenny Wiley. Jenny Wiley will have tours on September 15, 16, 29, 30, October 20, 21, 27, 28, November 3, 17, 24, and December 1 with elk camping September 22-23 in the fall. The winter dates are Jan. 12, 19, 26, 27, February 2, 9, 16, 23, March 2, and 9.
Buckhorn will be hosting their elk tours on September 15, 22, October 26, November 17, and December 1 in the fall. Winter tours will be January 12, 26, February 9, 23, March 9, and 16.
The elk tours at these parks have been very successful with elk sightings on every tour. Tours at Jenny Wiley cost $30 per adult and $15 per child 12 and under. This cost includes transportation and breakfast. The elk campout cost $60 and includes meals.
Tours at Buckhorn Lake include meals and a night of lodging for $120 per couple or $90 per person. Just tours can be arranged.
For more information or to make reservations call 1-800-325-0142 for Jenny Wiley and 1-800-325-0058 for Buckhorn Lake.

But why is it racist if what he is saying is true? If she had actually been saying something intelligent, then he would have said, "when you stop being a smart black woman let me know." Unfortunately, she did not say something like that. She said something extremely ignorant instead.

The thing is she didn't call him a Smart or a stupid white man it's not the opposite if you call someone stupid of course it's gonna sound like an insult stupid. aso calling someone a Poor Black woman doesn't sound as racist as calling them a stupid black woman it's like saying your poor because your black in response to someone saying your rich because your white but you made it more racist by making it sound like being stupid was relative to her skin color. Social status is one thing thats actually affected by race but intelligence is a whole nother can of worms

I agree with you, but damn... do you even punctuation and grammar?

I didn't intend for stupid to be the opposite of poor, rather I just used any insult that fit, and in this case she didn't seem poor but, like anon pointed out, what she was saying was ignorant and rude so stupid fit pretty well.

text: Barb Dickmann has been Saukville's village president since 2003. During that time, it would be fair to say she embraced the role of being the face of the village.Michael Rintelman is challenging Dickmann for the village president's post on the Tuesday, April 5, ballot, contending a new face is needed.Rintelman said he has deliberately stayed away from village meetings since declaring himself a candidate."Sometimes it is better to start fresh and not to be tainted by the process," he said.Dickmann takes pride in the advances the village has made on her watch and looks forward to tackling the challenges of meeting the new approach to local government spawned by the election of Gov. Scott Walker."We will continue to analyze all expenditures and test their worthiness. We will continue to scrutinize all employment positions to evaluate for greater efficiency," she said.Dickmann said a continued emphasis will be placed on partnering with neighboring communities.Rintelman said a tighter financial fist is needed."Based on the limited information that I have received, I think that the village will need to focus on essential services and become more efficient in the delivery of those services, like many families in the community have been forced to do in the past couple of years," he said."An important part of this is to be better connected to the taxpayer and make decisions based upon how they will impact them directly. The village has to work closely with the governor to address the impact of unfunded mandates on the village."However, Rintelman said, he supports "aggressively implementing" the provisions of Walker's budget-repair law.Dickmann said the greatest challenge ahead for the village is to kick-start the local economy."I'd love to see and continue to seek the development of a new subdivision in Saukville which will broaden our residential base and could lessen the tax burden on existing residents," she said.Dickmann said village officials will go on a business-retention tour of the community this spring, making sure that the needs of local employers are being addressed."I believe we need to continue to explore additional ways in which to grow Saukville and maintain services. If not maintain, then reduce services based on taxpayers' wishes and available funding," she said.Dickmann said village officials are already planning a realtor open house, showcasing potential development sites in the community. She also earmarked the land immediately east of I-43 as the ideal corridor for new commercial construction.Rintelman said the greatest challenge for the village is reconnecting with "the needs and desires of taxpayers."He said the village needs to manage labor costs and place an emphasis on efficiency."In lean times, every program and procedure needs to be evaluated and to be scrutinized as to its effectiveness, importance and its impact on taxpayers," Rintelman said.Dickmann said the loss of state funding for recycling should not hurt the village too much because it only receives a nominal amount of aid. "We do have a couple of years left on our contract with Veolia, but will still ask for taxpayer input as to how to go about recycling in Saukville without it being overly burdensome on any one person or group," she said.Rintelman said recycling may become a victim of the financial squeeze."If funding for the program is cut, then the program should be ended. We cannot afford to put more costs on the taxpayer," he said.Dickmann said broad experience in village government is what sets her apart from her opponent."I believe I have a proven track record in Saukville which is positive in nature. In addition, since I have been president of Saukville, we have upgraded our Moody's Investors Bond Rating due to sound fiscal practices … some of which I learned from my years at Port Washington State Bank," she said.Rintelman said he would bring a push toward accountability if elected."I believe that government needs to be responsive to its investors, the taxpayers," he said. "I believe this has been lacking in the day-to-day activities and planning of the village."Rintelman said he would promote the use of technology to keep connected to constituents."I also bring a new perspective and have little concern for how things have been done, but will evaluate and determine what can be done if we creatively and purposefully assess the needs and desires of our constituents," he said.Incumbent village trustees Mike Krocka, Joe Caban and Dave Maglio are unopposed in their bids for re-election.

Good for snowboard and bike
I have used this for mountain biking and mounting it on a pole for snowboarding, and it works great! The only bad things are that you have to use a screwdriver to clamp it real tight, and you need a really thick skipole to mount it on for snowboarding
J oro
So can only a certain type of camera by mounted with this clamp? I have a canon d10 waterproof/shockproof etc. camera that I'd love to mount on my handle bars if this clamp couold hold it. 2nd question, how exacted do you mount a camera to a snowboard using a ski pole? I'd love to be able to film my boarding as well.
Ryan Schmitt
This is designed for use with the GoPro cameras.
Jeff Guest
J oro, this is a GoPro specific mount and will not work for your Canon d10 camera. The camera doesn't get mounted to the snowboard itself with this mount. You use the clamp to mount it to a ski pole, trekking pole, PVC pole, etc. and you hold that pole so your GoPro can film you.

Mr. Trevor at the wonderful blog, Northwest Movies, awarded me the Liebster Blog Award. He gave me some really interesting questions to answer (I don't know a film movement!) and I'll pass it on. Let's get started.
The rules for the Liebster Award:
1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
2. Answer the 11 questions the person giving the award has set for you.
3. Create 11 questions for the people you will be giving the award to.
4. Choose 11 people to award and send them a link to your post.
5. Go to their page and tell them.
6. No tag backs.
1) As it happens to be, at least half of my favorite films almost didn't become my favorite films. I doubted they would be good, until family/friends urged me to go see them. Example: The Grey looked like crap to me, Dad encouraged, now I listen to the soundtrack every day.
2) I am a vegan. No, I won't judge you for your love of meat.
3) My Netflix streaming queue contains 240 movies. (Hmm…I thought it would be a lot more…)
4) When I was born, I had 12 fingers. (I no longer have these extra limbs.)
5) I'm also a musician. I recently auditioned for American Idol and The Voice.
6) My favorite part at the Oscars? When they hand out the awards for adapted/original screenplay. Specifically, I love how they superimpose an actual excerpt of the script on the playing scene.
7) I like getting up early and staying up late. Not the greatest sleeping schedule.
8) I need to learn a small, little lesson: stop forcing yourself through horrible films/books. Now within limit, I do know how to press the 'Stop' button and leave, but I have to tell myself sometimes, "it's not going to get better."
9) I used to devour fiction novels like crazy. However, I somehow been reading a lot more non-fiction novels lately…odd. I'm starving for a good fiction book. (Leave some suggestions, please!)
10) When I'm on the treadmill, on the wall on front of me, there's this little stand and there's a portable DVD player on it-I get to watch films while exercising. Cool.
11) I love laughing. No feeling like it.

Below is the accompanying transcript for Mike Laidlaw's commentary.
Ambient dialogue is present, but is not included.
"Hey everybody. Thank you so much for checking out our post E3 video. My name is Mike Laidlaw. I'm the Creative Director for Dragon Age: Inquisition. And today we're going to show you how our mix of exploration, real-time and tactical combat, and BioWare's award-winning storytelling are going to come together into one unforgettable experience.
While we showcased any number of combinations at E3, for this demo we wanted to go with the fan favorite and play the female Qunari mage.
Inquisition is the biggest Dragon Age game. In fact this area that you see here, and you can go virtually anywhere that you can see in this landscape, is larger than any playspace in Dragon Age: Origins. And it's not the only one. Inquisition is built of a series of multiple regions, allowing you to travel from blistering deserts to demon-infested swamps over the course of your adventures.
[Inquisitor encounter with apostate]
This location, as you just heard, is struggling as the mages and Templars are vying for control. And every location that you visit is part of the larger story and is a space you can impact with your actions. Rather than just tell you that the mage and Templar conflict is a threat, we wanted to make sure that you were a part of it.
[Inquisitor battle with massive bear, party appears]
With Inquisition, we wanted to go beyond random encounters and instead, we built the World Master System – one that ensures the nearest population is directly influenced by you and how you choose to play. Hunt all the bears in a region for their hide, perhaps for a new suit of armor, and their numbers will dwindle. Similarly, spread your Inquisition to a region and you'll see your troops patrolling the roads and signs of their presence. Inquisition is one of the most dynamic RPGs you will ever play.
[Inquisitor pauses, view from a cliff of the land below – Redcliffe]
Our goal today is to bring the war between the mages and Templars to an end and our first step on that journey is to reach the village of Redcliffe. As you saw from the encounters happening below, where the mages and Templars are actively fighting, in order to reach that location we're going to have to get our hands dirty.
Now, Dragon Age always puts you in the role of a leader. And at all times, you're in a command of a team that you've assembled and outfitted yourself. The enemies you encounter in the world are also working as a team, using their abilities and environment in intelligent ways to pose challenges. Up here you'll see a simple example as the mages throw down glyphs to deny us areas, forcing us to attack from different directions.
[Inquisitor & team face fight mages]
Combat in Inquisition pits your abilities against your foes and so we can take a closer look at what's happening here using our tactical view. The Templar defender has a massive tower shield, preventing us from attacking the front. And you'll notice that our characters respond to how the battle is playing out – a ranged character staying at the back – and at any time we can switch to any memer of our party to take direct control.
[Inquisitor battles presumably Red Templars]
Here you can see why we want to bring this conflict to an end. The battles between the group sare tearing this area apart. In Inquisition, you must be the leader of leaders. Iron Bull, who you see in our party, is a commander of his own mercenary company. Vivienne was the First Enchanter of the Circle of Magi, and every member of your party shares this kind of influence and expertise. Inquisition also includes our largest cast of characters to date, including returning characters from previous Dragon Age titles. All of them have come together to join our cause, the Inquisition.
[Inquisitor enters Redcliffe village and summons her mount]
Throughout the game you'll be spreading your influence across the world, setting up new camps to point troops and fortifying strongholds. And as we make our way onto one now, you'll see that to travel these massive spaces, Inquisition has introduced mounts for the first time in a Dragon Age game.
In addition to the Ferelden Bay we have here, there are numerous exotic mounts also available for you to acquire, collect, and ride across the land.
[Inquisitor rides into the village, can hear ambient dialogue from mount]
In Inquisition, your party members have their own goals, aspirations, and will often pause while exploring to share them with you or with each other.
Redcliffe is acting as a staging ground for my forces, with the mage and Templar war spiraling we've realized that to bring it to an end, we need to infiltrate here: Redcliffe Castle, a mage stronghold.
[Opens area map]
Exploration zones such as this one are filled with opportunities to grow and influence the power of the Inquisition. We'll travel to a previously explored camp to pursue one of those now. Of course, we know there's a sincere threat ahead, so it's a chance for us to nerd out a bit as we dig into the inventory and look at the weapons and armor of our party.
[Inventory screen opened]
Here we'll switch down with the Iron Bull and grab that battlemaster mail we looted earlier while we were exploring. This changes his appearance and of course, if you don't want to use just looted armour, you do have extensive crafting materials to choose from.
[Ability screen opened]
In Inquisition, every character fills a unique role. As you build your unique strategy, you'll have over 200 abilities, spells, and upgrades to choose from in order to give every character in your party their own unique role and style of fighting.
[Inquisitor and party fight dragons]
While the little ones go down easily enough, the High Dragon is the apex predator of the Dragon Age world. In Inquisition, the dragons are so large that we've changed the way you target them – individually attacking their limbs and their tails in order to bring them down. If you can inflict enough damage, you'll be able to change the flow of the fight.
[Inquisitor and party fight high dragon]
Rather than mana or stamina, a spell like Haste uses Focus, a resource built up only through teamwork. Focus abilities are incredibly powerful, allowing us to wound this dragon's leg and bring it down. But in order to use them, you have to build them up over time, making them very strategic in how you deploy them in each fight.
[Continuation of dragon fight, ending with the repair of a bridge leading back into Redcliffe Village]
Inquisition is the biggest Dragon Age game we've created and represents the next generation of BioWare RPGs. With a massive world dynamically and re-actively populated based on your decisions, massive cast of legends, an Inquisition for you to lead, and a variety of tools in which to destroy your foes, including tactical and real-time combat. This is the Dragon Age game we've always wanted to make.
Thank you so much for checking it out."
