No report (Mr. Sivier absent)

A meeting was held on May 17 with the Academic Affairs Committee
of the University Senate and there was informal discussion on many
items including:
1. Question regarding the continued action on the salary increments
for the five professor s. The Board Committee felt
that since the matter is now in litigation it was best to refer
the matter to our attorneys for advice.
2. The appointment of the committee for screening candidates
for the position of Vice President of Public Ser·vices. The
University Senate feit that the Board might have been somewhat
precipitous in authoriZing the appointment of a
committee, The Board Committee explained that the Ad Hoc
Committee on Appointment Policy wruld suhmit a statement
of policy for action by the Board at the next meeting.
Mrs. Halstad, Chairman, acknowledged receipt of the letter from Dr.
Elbert R. Bowen, Chairman of the University Senate, relative to the
committee for the Vice President of Public Services position.
It was moved, seconded and carried that the s alary formula for 1966-67
as presented be approved and that an outline based on this forn:u la be
presented at the next Board Meeting. (Copy on file in the Secretary's Office.)
Chairman Hafstad stated that the Board had not had time to give detailed
consideration to the various communications from the University Senate
and therefore referred tbese to Board Committees for study aoo report
back to the Board as follows:
1. Report of the Central Michigan University Senate Ad Hoc Committee
on Establishing Procedures for Implementing Faculty Participation
in the Selection of Deans, Vice Presidents, and the President
(Rivard Report) - is being considered by the Ad Hoc Committee on
Appointment Polley of the Board. It is hoped that a report on this
will be made at the next meeting of the Board.
2. Procedures for Handling Questions of Professional Concern involviIl(t
One or More Members of the Teaching Faculty (Wysong Report) -
referred to an Ad Hoc Committee with Mr. Umphrey, Chairman, and

Academic Affairs Committee.
4. Implementation of the Salary Schedule Report (Wysong Report) -

Pres ident Foust stated that this study was prepared by the Interfaculty
Council of which Central Michigan University is a member,
was made when we were uooer the Stale Board of Education. Along
with this Dr. Moore can furnish some additional information which
would include more recent studies.
It was suggested tbat Dr. Moore be asked to get some material
together on this and present it to the Board.
It was suggested that the Bylaws be corrected to state that the Secretary
and the Treasurer of the Board each shall give a "Faithful Performance
Bond" and that such amendment be presented for approval at the next
meeting of the Board. Mr. Bovee is to furnish the proper amendment
to Mr. Umphrey, and bold off on the Fidelity Bond until the Bylaws are
The Auditors Report and answers to the recommendations were referred
to the Finance Committee for report at the next meeting.
It was suggested that the Board acknowledge Dr. Aust1n Knapp's paper

Let's face it: Kids LOVE to play dress-up! But, we believe that dress-up can—and should—be enjoyed year-round (not only at Halloween.) In fact, during the colder or dreary winter months, when many families are stuck indoors, dress-up costumes can give children the thrill of exploring new worlds right from their playrooms.
A word on dress-up and role-play for kids (From Melissa):
"Role-play is a critical form of pretend play, and a crucial aspect of early childhood development. It is also one of the best ways to help a child develop an understanding of the world! Dressing up can help kids:
– Get rid of fears and inhibitions
– "Act out" something they may not be comfortable expressing otherwise
– Develop social awareness and self-confidence!
Such free, unstructured creative play offers tremendous benefits developmentally: It builds strong imaginations and fertile, innovative minds!"
(For more insights from Melissa on the benefits of dress-up play, read her entire article, "Why Costumes are Good for Kids.")
Here are some inspirational ideas to kick off your costume play!
1) "Grab Bag"
Take your dress-up bin and dump it upside-down! Then, blindfold each child (or yourself with your child) and take 5 minutes to pick, and put-on, a costume! Once time is up, do the grand reveal and wait for the giggles to commence! Go around and make up a back-story for your new, wacky character: Are you a Pirate with a penchant for butterfly necklaces, or perhaps a Chef who stirs his pot with a hairdryer?
2) "Put on a Show"!
If you have an entire afternoon to fill, and you can't possibly send the kids outside, organize a theatrical event! (This is a wonderful play date activity, too. You'll be the most popular parent on the block). Gather everyone (yourself included, if you want!) and write a script together based on the role play outfits and accessories you already own. The more variety, the better (and funnier!) the plot line will be. Then, plan and practice the whole event- from set-up, to lighting, to props and even snacks! Invite over some parents and friends, and let the show begin!
Your children will not only feel proud of what they've accomplished, they will have practiced their writing and storytelling skills – all while boosting their confidence!
Tip: If you've run out of people- add puppets to your show!
3) Play "I want to be…"
Costumes offer kids the opportunity to express certain desires or dreams they might not have fully realized yet. As Melissa states, "When children are given the opportunity to choose a character they wish to portray, they are given the ability to explore the areas they are most interested in."

Year after year since it was introduced, the Yamaha SuperJet is the darling of the custom shops and the aftermarket guys. It's not that this craft is inadequate; quite the contrary. But, with all due respect to the manufacturer, there doesn't seem to be many active SuperJets out there that have not been "souped-up." But Yamaha is not unaware of what's been going on. They know that their customers seem to want to make a great boat even better. And the SJ's popularity is high no matter what kind of stand-up riding the owner participates in, be it speed runs, slalom or freestyle. The Yamaha SuperJet has a new improved hull design promising to make this craft the best all-around stand-up PWC in the industry. This year, the designers at Yamaha have decided not to let the speedshop guys have all the fun!
The Reliable Yamaha Marine Engine
The powerplant in the SuperJet is a member of Yamaha's reliable marine engine family. The 2 cylinder, two-stroke, 701 CC Yamaha engine features electronically controlled variable ignition timing and loop-charged combustion for quick throttle response throughout the range. Yamaha's Corrosion Protection System and Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner contribute to this motor's durability. The SuperJet 144mm Hyper–Flow jet pump propulsion system provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration. And this pump is manufactured with YDC30, a combination of zinc and copper alloys which offers excellent corrosion protection. In addition, the intake duct and grate have been optimized to direct flow into the pump. To keep water out of the hull, an automatic bilge system is fitted. And every custom PWC or race shop will be happy to show you the endless list of accessories available for you to customize the performance of your SuperJet.
The Hull
The hull is where the real changes were made in the SuperJet. The changes make this boat more balanced for hard cornering and wide-open speed. They've increased the wetted surface of the hull by adding molded-in sponsons which are integrated into the hull lines. These allow the craft to turn easier while making the SJ more stable for novice and intermediate riders. They've deepened the chines and narrowed the stern a little, so the SuperJet rider can lean over further while still maintaining hook-up. In addition, an extended rideplate works along with the rest of the changes and improvements to provide enhanced stability. Taken together, all these modifications result in the aggressive rider being able to maintain speed and lean over while holding a turn more effectively than in the past. For the novice, the design changes offer the advantage of more stability in the ride.
On Deck
Up on top you'll find plenty of thick padding in the riding tray for a more comfortable ride, and there's a kick step to provide added balance and slip resistance. The oval-shaped handle pole is both light and strong and has a high pivot. It makes turning and transitions easier by giving the rider more leverage. The handle pole is fitted with a corrosion resistant coil spring, so the pole feels even lighter, reducing fatigue. And steering is made even better by the adjustable steering nozzle.
Thoughtful of their surroundings, the folks at Yamaha have made an effort to reduce noise emissions by utilizing a transom exhaust system. Its part of Yamaha's Sound Supression System, targeted to reduce intake noise, exhaust noise and vibration noise. To insure safety, the SuperJet, like Yamaha's entire WaveRunner line-up, uses the trademarked Visibility Spout waterspout from the rear of the craft.
The Specs
The Yamaha SuperJet is 88.2" long, 26.8" wide, 26" high, and weighs 291 pounds dry. It has a fuel capacity of 4.8 gallons with a reserve of just under a gallon and a half. The SJ has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $8,199. The color and graphics package for the latest model year is Black.

Please submit all comments to: Catherine Sneed, Accreditation Coordinator, Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 1 Dupont Circle NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036
College of Nursing receives New Careers in Nursing Scholarships
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) awarded the College of Nursing five $10,000 scholarships through the RWJF New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program (NCIN). The scholarships will provide financial assistance for students in the Generalist Entry Masters (GEM) Program who are members of underrepresented populations in nursing, including males, African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. The project will also assist the selected students in their transition to the nursing profession and will provide them with leadership skills and mentoring during the 18-month program beginning in May 2014.
Marquette College of Nursing awarded $5 million for partnership with Veterans Affairs nursing program
Milwaukee VA partnership to fund 10 additional faculty positions, increase Marquette undergraduate nursing class size by 40 students
MILWAUKEE – The Department of Veterans Affairs has chosen Marquette University College of Nursing and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center as one of six sites in the nation to participate in a five-year VA Nursing Academy Nursing Academic Partnership Program. The $5 million partnership will prepare Marquette nursing students to promote health, healing and social justice for veterans and their families through culturally based and spiritually reflective clinical practice.
The program will fund 10 additional, full-time College of Nursing faculty members during the next five years. These faculty members will enable the College of Nursing to increase its freshman class size by 20 students this year (from 110 last year to 130 admitted for fall 2013) and by 20 students in subsequent years, for a maximum enrollment of 150 students beginning with the 2014-15 academic year.
"This significant partnership will allow us to meet an important health care need in the Milwaukee community, and to be a part of the solution for the national nursing shortage," said Dr. Margaret Faut Callahan, C.R.N.A., F.N.A.P., F.A.A.N., dean of the College of Nursing and interim provost at Marquette University. "Marquette's College of Nursing is committed to embedding itself within the Milwaukee community by partnering with health care leaders like the Milwaukee VA. We are thrilled to be able to teach the next generation of nurses a veteran-centric approach to health care with the support and partnership of the Milwaukee VA and the Department of Veterans Affairs."
Veteran-centric educational opportunities will be woven throughout the college's pre-licensure curriculum for all undergraduates. Undergraduate students interested in veteran-centric care can also apply to a competitive cohort program, where they will follow the pre-licensure curriculum but will complete their five required clinical placements at the Milwaukee VA. Students in the cohort may also participate in a cultural immersion experience at various VA locations. The program's goal is to place graduates into nursing positions at the Milwaukee VA or another VA facility.
"We are honored to be partner with such a prestigious university to help educate our nurses of the future," said Beth Taylor, associate director for patient care services at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has projected that the nursing shortage could grow to 1 million registered nurses by 2025. The number of direct care nurses at the Milwaukee VA who are eligible for retirement is roughly 20 percent. The veteran-centric cohort program will help fill expected future vacancies with nurses who are prepared to care for the specific needs of veterans and their families, and who require less training and orientation time due to their clinical experiences in VA settings.
Marquette University College of Nursing and the Milwaukee VA also plan to work together to advance research related to veteran care.
The five other nursing programs chosen as partner schools in the VA Nursing Academic Partner Program are: Arizona State University, Emory University, New Mexico University, Oregon Health and Science University, and University of Minnesota.
Applications will be made available to students the week of June 17.
Irish Spring
Launched in the spring 2012 semester, the program blends academic courses with observation experiences at various health care sites in Ireland. This approach makes it possible for nursing students to study abroad without falling behind in Marquette's rigorous nursing curriculum.
Marquette Neighborhood Health Center now offers midwifery services
The Marquette Neighborhood Health Center (MNHC), a nurse-managed clinic run by the Marquette University College of Nursing, began accepting pregnant patients into its practice for midwifery services June 1, 2012. In April 2012, the City of Milwaukee Health Department released new infant mortality data that showed the rate at which black babies die during their first year of life is nearly three times the rate of white babies. The MNHC's new certified nurse-midwife practice is the result of a five-year, $1,477,828 grant it received last fall from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration to address such disparities.
"Seventy-nine percent of MNHC's current patients live in one of the nine Milwaukee zip codes with the highest levels of poverty," said College of Nursing Dean Dr. Margaret Faut Callahan, C.R.N.A., F.N.A.P., F.A.A.N. "Providing midwifery services will help the MNHC further its mission of reducing health disparities in Milwaukee by delivering quality health care to underserved populations in neighborhoods near Marquette's campus."
MNHC is currently staffed with three certified nurse-midwives, Kathlyn Albert, LuVerda Martin and Nichole Virgo, who practice a holistic approach to care that includes all aspects of a pregnant woman's life. Their goal is to improve maternal and infant outcomes in the underserved areas surrounding Marquette University's campus by focusing on care known to have a positive impact on the health of women and their infants – midwifery services through the CenteringPregnancy® model, breastfeeding peer support and prenatal care coordination delivered by a registered nurse.
College of Nursing graduate program ranks in top 10 percent in U.S. News & World Report
The latest graduate school rankings from U.S. News and World Report show Marquette programs ranking among the best in the country. The midwifery program in the College of Nursing is 19th nationally, and the graduate program itself is listed in the top 10% of graduate nursing programs, ranking 44th out of 442 schools.

HAMILTON (February 22, 2013)—Waco's 10th Court of Appeals has reversed the conviction of a Hamilton County commissioner found guilty of unlawfully carrying a handgun into a commissioners court meeting.
Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Ken Tafel was originally indicted on two felony counts of carrying a concealed weapon in a prohibited place.
In June 2012 Tafel waived a jury trial in 220th District Court in Hamilton and retired visiting Judge Philip Zeigler found him not guilty on the two felony counts, but guilty on two misdemeanor counts of carrying a weapon into a public meeting.
Zeigler fined Tafel $1,500 on each count.
In the appeal Tafel's lawyers argued that the district court did not have proper jurisdiction on the misdemeanor counts and therefore erred in finding him guilty.
In their opinion Thursday the justices of the 10th court agreed.
The justices said, "The State (prosecution) did not inform the trial court or Tafel that the cases were misdemeanors involving official misconduct and that, therefore, the district court had jurisdiction over the charges.
"The parties acknowledged that the charges were misdemeanors and agreed that the District Court had jurisdiction.
"Subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be conferred by agreement of the parties; jurisdiction must be vested in a court by constitution or statute," the appeals court ruling said.
In conclusion, the court sent both convictions back to the 220th District Court.
"Because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear the causes, we vacate the judgments of the trial court and remand the causes to the district court.
"The district court is instructed to transfer the causes to the county court," the order said.
Tafel was arrested in November 2011 after the county sheriff caught him carrying two handguns into the Hamilton County Courthouse.
Tafel, a concealed handgun permit holder, said at the time the county judge had written a letter that authorized him to carry the weapons in the courthouse.
State law prohibits concealed handgun license holders from carrying weapons "in any government court or offices" unless written regulations permit concealed weapons or unless the license holder has written authorization.
A statement issued in November 2011 by Hamilton County Sheriff Gregg Bewley said Tafel was carrying a semi-automatic pistol under his clothing at the meeting and that when deputies arrested him during a recess, a second firearm was found.

WEST SENECA, Okla. — The Sunday rain didn't damper the cause of more than 200 motorcycle riders participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Ride For Life.
The two-day event started on Saturday with live music, food and concessions at the Hideout Harley-Davidson business in Joplin. Then on Sunday, the riders took off on their ride at 1 p.m. from the Hideout and ended up at Indigo Sky Casino shortly after 2:30 p.m.
"We (raised) $28,000, so we were really excited, especially with the rain," said Lacey Goins, area director for MDA. "We could not ask for better riders, our riders are great, and they ride for the cause – rain or shine – that is pretty impressive."
This year marks the 30th year for the ride.
"There are several events and several rides, but a ride for 30 years, it just speaks a lot about the great riders that we have, the great sponsors that we have and the great families that they help," she said.
When the riders got to the casino, they had free play given to them and then there was a steak and shrimp dinner.
The money raised will go to a great cause.
"It will be for all of our local families, local clinic in the area – Mercy, for sending kids to summer camp," said Goins.

SAN JOSE -- With thousands of uniformed and civilian mourners expected to attend a memorial service for the two slain Santa Cruz police officers, organizers have moved the event from a 4,000-capacity venue in Santa Cruz to the HP Pavilion near downtown San Jose, which can seat up to 20,000.
Santa Cruz Deputy Chief Steve Clark police announced the new location on Friday, saying the change was needed to accommodate the expected uniformed and civilian mourners for Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker, 51, and Officer Elizabeth Butler, 38.
"Local options simply did not have enough room to hold all the love and support for these officers and would have forced the venues to be split in up to four different locations," he wrote in a statement. "We want to afford everyone the opportunity to honor these heroes and remember them together."
Clark acknowledged that it may be inconvenient for Santa Cruz residents, but "we and the families believe this change provides the best opportunity to properly honor our officers and their families."
In addition to law enforcement officers from across the nation, dignitaries, friends and fans are expected to attend the service, which will be held at noon Thursday.
A motorcade from Santa Cruz to the Pavilion is planned, and will include Santa Cruz law enforcement, fire and emergency responders. Police said more details on the services and motorcade will be released later.
The California Highway Patrol is consulting with Santa Cruz police on the services because that agency has seen 223 officers killed in the line of duty and has experience in coordinating motorcades, traffic and ceremonial details.
While each service is different, CHP Capt. John Arrabit said it will typically include honor guards, bag pipes, a 21-gun salute and possibly aircraft flying over in the missing man formation.
Baker and Butler were ambushed by Jeremy Peter Goulet when they went to his home to talk to about a sexual assault he had reportedly committed against a co-worker. They were gunned down on Goulet's porch, and he was slain in a gunbattle with authorities a short time later.
On Friday, investigators announced they are seeking a 28-year-old transient with whom Goulet was acquainted.
Terisa "Lamb" Johnson was "not involved with the murder in any way," Santa Cruz County sheriff's Sgt. Patrick Dimick said, but they want to talk to her about Goulet's "background and social history."
Also on Friday, a collection taken up for the families of Baker and Butler hit the $125,000 mark.
Donations from businesses and residents were collected in an effort spearheaded by PredPol, a Santa Cruz-based predictive policing company that is partnered with the Santa Cruz Police Department.
To donate to the Sgt. Butch Baker and detective Elizabeth Butler Scholarship Fund, go to www.cityofsantacruz.com. Donations may be made online via credit card or PayPal account.
The HP Pavilion is at 525 W. Santa Clara Street, San Jose. Directions can be found at www.hppavilion.com/directions/directions.asp.

More information released on burn victims from oil platform fire
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 12:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 12:39 p.m.
Four workers who suffered major burns in Friday's oil platform explosion are in stable but serious condition, the hospital that is treating them reports.
Doctors with the burn unit at Baton Rouge General said in a news release that two of the victims remain in "critical condition," one patient remains in "serious" condition, and one patient, Wilberto Ilagan, 50, has shown progress and is in "fair" condition.
All four men are natives of the Philippines and employees of the Galliano-based company Grand Isle Shipyards.
"To my relatives, to my family, and to my country, I am alive and in good health," Ilagan said in a statement. "I am burned, but my heart and lungs are healthy."
Doctors said all four patients remain in the "critical window of time that follows major burn injuries." Doctors are working to maintain the patients' airways, restore fluids with IVs, and keep the wounds free of infection.

No comment : it's a shame
Another weenie little app that now the dev thinks is worth $15. Guess what..it's not.
Wait a sec... We've been using your beta for ... well, for forever, and now you want us to pay you $15? Numerous crash reports, usability getting worse with each release, and your app STILL doesn't understand version numbers so it constantly reports half my apps as out of date when they're not... Hell... your app couldn't even update ITSELF until very recently.
You want US to pay you now? How exactly does that work in your mind? This app is still beta and you've done nothing to thank your testers.
says everything is out of date, even when i just updated it. not very impressed.
App somehow stayed expired even if I updated. Luckily it's now fixed.
Cannot change to "up to date" status even already downloaded and installed a newer version, yet still in "Update available" status? AppFresh 0.9.882
The current version does not work. It just list all my apps being address book, all my plug ins being flash, etc.
The app stopped working on Lion. I am running 0.9/877 or 878 (not sure as the version here is listed as 878 yet that version is later than 877 on the official website. The actual app only shows 0.9 and not the version of that.)
Anyway.. I now get a white window when I run the app and it's a hard crash for the app.. have to force quit it. Bummer. Same issue with my Macbook Air and my iMac.. both running Lion.
Not nice, because no PPC-Support!
0.9/862 is out, and now works on 10.7!

Education bill debate turns to teacher hiring
March 4, 2013
By Lawrence Messina Associated Press CHARLESTON — Go....
Anyone who thinks that the best at anything is the one who has been around the longest is grossly mistaken. "Welcome aboard. This is your 85-year-old pilot speaking." Or how about, "Forget about the rookies and second year guys. Our team hires only seasoned veterans."

The other side of the story Bill 359 takes away holiday pay. Snow days will be made up even if it goes beyond June 30. The system can transfer a person anytime, anywhere, in the school system History teacher today perhaps Janitor tomorrow. Seniority is history that opens the door to the "good old boys" do favors get rewards.

Mr Lee, I will show you that the current practices demanded by the unions is not the best. Look at the student achievement compared to other states over the past several decades, and the lack of improvement. The unions are all about power and control and could care less about the students.

In its annual survey, Quality Counts, Education Week ranked West Virginia 49th nationally, with an "F" in student achievement. In the National Assessment of Educational Progress, West Virginia ranked below the national average in 21 of 24 categories. Almost one in four high school students – 22% -- do not graduate on time. Our young children, including those in poverty, do not learn to read at an acceptable level, something that affects them in their later years.

Our students do not get 180 days of instructional time as they are required by law, and snow days can be counted as instructional days. As the Education Audit indicated, more flexibility and local control is needed. Our school system is the most centralized in the Nation. Local control with accountability is very much needed where the decision-making is transferred to the local level and parents and teachers can have more input and participation. At the same time our State spends more than the national average per student on education.
I believe in Berkeley the number is around $8000 student/year. And the teachers want more? Do your jobs!

It is always great to look at ways to improve finding and hiring new teachers. But what about giving students tablet computers, access to free eBooks, providing students access to advanced online courses, ... real transformation.

State law says if (requested) by the most senior applicant the board must provide in writing why they wern't hired. Maybe they stink! Good enough reason for me.

Apple Wrests Sales Lead from Samsung
Amid a record earnings report that still disappointed investors, one superlative in Apple's numbers is likely to have been lost on most observers: the company was the biggest technology manufacturer by revenue in the October-December quarter, eclipsing Samsung Electronics
Apple said its revenue in the quarter amounted to $54.5 billion.
Samsung, which reports its earnings on Friday, on Jan. 8 guided investors to expect revenue of 55 trillion won to 57 trillion won for the quarter. At today's exchange rate, that amounts to $51.4 billion to $53.3 billion. In the past few quarters, Samsung's revenue was at the midpoint of its guidance statements.
Though Apple has for several years been the most profitable company and the most valuable by market capitalization in technology, the latest results mark the first time it has led the industry in sales.
But its time at the top is fleeting.
Apple executives said they expect revenue between $41 billion and $43 billion for the January-to-March quarter. Tech firms typically experience a peak in revenue at the end of a year, when consumers are buying electronics during holiday periods, and a sequential drop in the first three months of a new year.
Samsung, with a far more diverse portfolio of products than Apple, is expected to experience a smaller sequential drop. Samsung analysts are forecasting sales of around 50 trillion won to 52 trillion won in the January-to-March quarter, or around $46.7 billion to $48.6 billion.
Samsung in 2010 moved past Hewlett-Packard as the world's biggest tech company by sales with revenue that year of $134 billion, based on exchange rates at that time. Samsung's revenue was twice Apple's $65 billion back then.
Both companies have been growing at dizzying speeds. When its results come out Friday, Samsung's sales for the full year of 2012 will be around $180 billion.
For calendar 2012, the period that compares directly with Samsung's reporting, Apple's revenue was $164 billion. Apple reported $156 billion in revenue for its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012.
While the two companies have made headlines in recent months because of their competition in smartphone sales and a multination court battle over mobile-device patents, they have come in recent years to dominate the consumer electronics industry in profits and product leadership.
Their business models and corporate structures are vastly different, however. Samsung is a vertically-integrated maker of electronics goods, with its own factories and about one-third of its revenue and profits coming from components like chips and screens, and dozens of products in every category from TVs to printers to cameras to washing machines. Apple produces just a dozen or so computing devices and accessories and chiefly hires other companies to assemble them.
