Just announced: WWE NXT Season Five debuts NEXT TUESDAY at 10/9 CT, only on WWE.com!
So why are they bothering to bring back Tough Enough?
@raven12516 Because Tough Enough and NXT are different?
It's probably because 1.) NXT didn't do well on TV, 2.) they want a webshow, 3.) Tough Enough is a recognized name AND did decent on TV, and 4.) it's WWE; a lot of what they do doesn't make much sense anymore.
Oh, and they wanted Stone Cold and Trish back on TV without putting them on between the Cena and Miz crap that's being pushed.
@Travis How are they different?
NXT is online only not televisied
Tough Enough is televised
Tough Enough and NXT are almost alike in several ways but the differences that stand out the most starts with the talent. NXT uses FCW guys, TE uses some independent guys and complete unknowns. NXT has talent that has the WWE style already down, and are basically getting worldwide exposure, TE brings in talent and grooms them to the WWE style. The TE that showed i t the most is the one John Morrison Nitro Hennigan was in. John never wrestled in WWE or was groomed for it, now look at the man. NXT will bring forth new WWE talent that are do for a roster spot. TE will bring forth talent that audiences may know well, and some that people probably havent heard of. The shows are different styles, as one is towards endurance and abillity, and one is toward rookies and pro's. Honestly TE is more of a reality show than NXT, and NXT is close to an actual WWE show like a SMACKDOWN! or RAW.

About 57 percent of Denver Public Schools' 75,000 students attend schools that fail to meet district performance standards, according to a study by a charter school organization.
In a break from recent reform plans, the report says DPS must bring in higher-performing elementary schools rather than concentrating on middle schools. It calls for the district to create new schools for 36,000 underserved students.
"There is a tendency to focus on middle schools and high schools, but what this report shows is there is actually a huge need systemwide at the elementary school level," said William Haft, vice president of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers and co-author of "Locating Quality and Access: The Keys to Denver's Plan for Educational Excellence."
The report examined DPS performance data, enrollment statistics and demographics. It identified areas most in need of higher-performing schools: Montbello and areas that feed into North and West high schools.
Getting higher-performing schools for all students in these areas would address 60 percent of the need citywide, according to the report.
The report also praises the success of charter schools in addressing "the needs in these communities." Critics, however, are skeptical.
"It's part of an ongoing effort to sell people on the concept of charters being the systemic solution to DPS's needs and issues," said Guerin Green, a DPS parent and publisher of the North Denver News. "There are clearly a lot of underperforming schools. Saying that and acknowledging that doesn't point you to any solution."

North Shore Gas Encourages Residents to Jumpstart Energy Savings with Free Products
WAUKEGAN - North Shore Gas urges customers to jumpstart their energy savings this summer by taking advantage of programs that offer free products and rebates for energy upgrades.
The Home Energy Jumpstart Program provides free energy- and water-saving products to owners of single-family homes, two-flats, individually-metered condos and townhomes. Customers receive free installation of faucet aerators, showerheads, pipe insulation, programmable thermostats and CFLs. Renters are also eligible, with their landlord's permission.
For additional energy savings, residential customers can earn rebates when they install qualifying items through the Home Energy Rebate Program. Rebates are available for high-efficiency furnaces, boilers and water heaters and for other items such as attic insulation and duct sealing. By participating first in the Home Energy Jumpstart Program, customers can receive a $150 bonus rebate when they install a qualifying furnace or boiler.
"Summer is a great time to make energy-saving improvements to your home," said Patrick Michalkiewicz, manager of Energy Efficiency and Major Accounts for North Shore Gas. "Customers who make improvements now will start saving energy right away and will be on track to better manage their energy costs this winter."
To learn more information about energy-saving incentives from North Shore Gas, visit northshoregasrebates.com or call 855-849-8928. Customers can also find low and no-cost energy-saving tips at northshoregasdelivery.com.
Since launching its Natural Gas Savings Programs in 2011, North Shore Gas and Peoples Gas have issued more than $35 million in incentives and have helped customers save more than 21.6 million net therms of natural gas – an amount equal to the annual energy use of more than 10,400 homes. The therm savings represents a reduction in about 66,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in Chicagoland, the equivalent of taking nearly 14,000 cars off the road annually.
The Home Energy Jumpstart Program and a similar program for businesses have helped North Shore Gas and Peoples Gas customers save nearly 290 million gallons of water-enough water for more than 2,275 households each year.

A few hours of poring over maps and aerial photos led me to another obscure place in southern Utah that appeared to have promise on paper. The research paid off! This area has good potential with plenty of jeep roads, volcanic slick rock, plenty of rough overgrown singletrack, ponderosa pine forests, and clear blue water...Sort of reminded me of a poor man's Big Bear. There is just enough snow and ice- making me wait until spring to explore further.

i have seen this doctor six times, every time we ask him questions his answer "i will only tell you one time" in a toned voice. we ask him for medical reports, and for results, he refused to cooperate. my primary doctor asked for medical reports, answer was they were lost. i do not recommended this doctor for anyone. i fill he is **** to me and others like me. he does not respect me or my medical conditions. i see lots of doctors and never have i been treated like the way he treated me. I believe he did not finish obedience class which they offer in schools for free. i do not recommended this doctor to anyone period.

In an immune system, dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) as
well as powerful sensors of danger signals. When DCs receive signals from infection and tissue
stress, they immediately activate and instruct the initiation of appropriate immune responses to T
cells. However, it has remained unclear how the tissue microenvironment in a steady state shapes
the function of DCs. Recent many works on thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an epithelial
cell-derived cytokine that has the strong ability to activate DCs, provide evidence that TSLP
mediates crosstalk between epithelial cells and DCs, involving in DC-mediated immune
homeostasis. Here, we review recent progress made on how TSLP expressed within the thymus
and peripheral lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues regulates DC-mediated T-cell development in
the thymus and T-cell homeostasis in the periphery.
DC (Dendritic cell); homeostasis; regulatory T cell; thymus; TSLP
TSLP is an interleukin (IL)-7-like cytokine that was cloned from murine thymic stromal cell
line.1-3 TSLP is expressed mainly by epithelial cells at barrier surfaces and is capable of
initiating a wide variety of responses in many cell types, particularly myeloid DCs. The
TSLP receptor (TSLPR) complex consists of a heterodimer of the IL-7 receptor α chain
(IL-7Rα) and TSLPR.4-7 In humans, TSLPR is highly expressed by myeloid DCs (mDCs),
and TSLP produced by epitherial cells strongly activates mDCs to upregulate MHC class II
and co-stimulatory molecules, improve survival, and produce a variety of chemokines, such
as CCL-17 (TARC) and CCL-21 (MDC). Interestingly, unlike other signals that activate
mDCs such as the ligand for TLR3 or TLR4, TSLP does not induce mDCs to produce
proinflammatory cytokines IL-12, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1.8 Epithelial cells in the tissue
microenvironment appear to play a key role in instructing the tissue-resident DCs to control
immune responses and homeostasis. However, it has been unclear how DCs regulate
immune homeostasis at the steady state and during disease.

While majority of hematopoietic cells develop in the bone marrow, bone marrow-derived T
cell progenitors migrate into the thymus and complete their development in the thymus. It
has been generally accepted that when developing T cells express a T cell antigen receptor
(TCR), they undergo two different types of selection based on the binding affinity of the
TCR to a self-peptide-MHC complex presented by thymic epithelial cells or dendritic cells.
First, developing T cells express a functional TCR that binds to a self-peptide-MHC class I
or class II complex, which is presented by epithelial cells in the thymic cortex, then they
undergo a process known as positive selection.9-11 While the developing T cells that fail
positive selection die by apoptosis, the positively selected T cells survive and migrate into
the medullar area of the thymus. These T cell precursors undergo a process of negative
selection by which T cel1s carrying a TCR with high-affinity for a self-peptide-MHC
complex expressed by APCs in the thymic medulla. However, some self-reactive T cells
escape into the periphery and could cause autoinununity. It is now well established that these
self-reactive T cells are controlled in the periphery by CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells that
developed in the thymus.12-14 The importance of Treg-mediated tolerance is illustrated by
the observation that the acute elimination of Foxp3+ Treg cells in normal healthy animals
can lead to death owing to multi-organ autoimmune disease.15,16 However, it is unclear
what type of APCs positively selects Treg cells in the thymus and how these self-reactive
Treg cells escape selection mediated by thymic APCs.
Although it was initially reported that Treg cell development starts at the CD4+CD8+ (DP)
stage,17,18 more recent studies suggest that most Treg cells develop after positively selected
CD4+ thymocytes migrate from the cortex to the medulla, which is comprised of medullary
thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and hematopoietic DCs.19-21 Pioneering studies using
mouse models suggest that thymic epithelial cells are crucial for the induction of non-
deletional tolerance by generating Treg cells. Mouse chimeras in which bone marrow-
derived APCs were deficient in MHC class II showed normal numbers of thymic Treg
cells,18,22 suggesting that mTECs may be crucial for Treg cell development. However in
TCR-transgenic systems, the expression of cognate antigens on either epithelial cells or DCs
seemed to be able to induce Treg development.23,24 We and other groups recently found that
the expression of CD80/CD86 and CD40, which are key co-stimulatory molecules for Treg
cell development, on only DCs subsets was also sufficient to generate a normal percentage
of Treg cells.25-27 Moreover, normal or elevated numbers of Treg cells were observed when
MHC class II presentation was decreased on AIRE+ mTECs,28 supporting the notion that
either mTECs or DCs are sufficient for Treg cell development in the thymic medulla. These
studies conclude that both mTECs and hematopoietic DCs can facilitate Treg cell
development. However, it is still unclear 1) how DCs can have a positive role in the
selection of self-reactive Treg cells as well as a negative role in the deletion of high-affinity
self-reactive thymocytes and, 2) why multiple APCs are involved in generating Treg cells in
the thymus. Our findings may give answer to these Questions.
TSLP EXPRESSED BY HASSAL'S CORPUSCLES INSTRUCTS DCs TO SELECT TREG IN
Corpuscular bodies of epithelial cells called Hassall's corpuscles (HCs) are located in the
medulla of the human thymus. After the first description by Arthur Hill Hassall in 1849, it
was suggested that HCs represent the "graveyard" for dead thymocytes29,30 and the
"privileged" area for the maturation of medullary thymocytes.31 Other studies have provided
evidence that HCs are active in cytokine/ growth factor receptor-mediated cell signaling,
transcription and metabolism.32-37 Although HCs have been proposed to act in both the

removal of apoptotic thymocytes and the maturation of developing thymocytes in the
thymus, their actual function has remained unclear. We found that TSLP is selectively
expressed by epithelial cells of HCs within the human thymic medulla (Fig. 1a).38 TSLP
appears to activate DCs isolated from human thymus, and anatomical analysis by immune
histochemistry showed that TSLP expression is associated with an activated subpopulation
of mDCs in the thymic medulla (Fig. 1b). Because the thymus is normally not exposed to
microbial infections, this raised a question regarding the functions of TSLP and TSLP-
activated DCs in the thymus. It has been proposed that TSLP-activated mDCs may play an
important role in the selection of self-reactive thymocytes to differentiate into Treg cells
because TSLP-mDCs have 1) high expression levels of MHC class-II and the costimulatory
molecules CD80/CD86, which are ligands for CD28 and are critical for Treg cell
development in the medulla of the human thymus.39,40 2) sparse production of
proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and IL-12, which inhibit Treg cell
development; and 3) the ability to induce robust homeostatic proliferation of naïve CD4+ T
cells owing to their unique ability to form strong and prolonged conjugates with autologous
CD4+ T cells.41 Therefore, TSLP-activated DCs may use the same mechanisms to provide
strong and long-lasting survival signals to self-reactive thymocytes and switch negative
selection to a positive selection of Treg cell development.
This hypothesis is supported by our experiments showing that TSLP-activated DCs, but not
DCs stimulated with or without IL-7, CD40 ligands or poly (I: C), could induce the
expansion and differentiation of CD4+CD8−CD25− SP thymocytes into
CD4+CD8−CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells.38 The ability of TSLP-activated DCs to induce Treg
cell differentiation was dependent on IL-2 and CD28 signals. Anatomically, CD4+CD25+
thymocytes are exclusively located in the thymic medulla in close association with DC-
LAMP+ CD86+-activated DCs and HCs. These results suggest that human Treg cells are
generated in the thymic medulla in close association with DCs that seem to be activated by
TSLP, which is produced by epithelial cells of HCs.
The human thymus contains three distinct populations of DCs induding plasmacytoid DCs
(pDCs) and two subsets of conventional myeloid DCs (cDCs), CO11c+CD11b− and the
CD11c+CD11b+.42,43 We recently found that a subpopulation of pDCs (~20%) isolated from
the human thymus also expressed the TSLP receptor (TSLPR) at the steady state (Fig. 2a,
b).44 This pDC subpopulation is located in close association with FOXP3+ T cells in the
thymic medulla. In vitro, TSLP conditioned pDCs to produce the chemokines CCL-17
(TARC) and CCL-21 (MDC), which are important in guiding the traffic of immature thymic
T cells into the medulla. Furthermore, the TSLP-conditioned pDCs could efficiently induce
the generation and expansion of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells from CD4+CD25−FOXP3−
thymocytes but not peripheral naïe CD4+ T cells in vitro. Interestingly, the TSLP-pDC-
induced Treg cells were IL-10high/TGF-βlow while the TSLP-mDC-induced Treg cells were
IL-10low/TGF-βhigh after activation, suggesting that multiple types of APCs in the thymus,
such as TSLP-mDCs and TSLP-pDCs, are responsible for the imprinting of functionally
distinct subsets of FOXP3+ Treg cells. These data are consistent with our recent observation
that the human thymus, peripheral blood, and secondary lymphoid tissues contain two
subsets of CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells based on expression of ICOS and production of IL-10/
TGF-β.45 Differentiation of T cells into distinct cell lineages is controlled by several key
transcriptional factors that have pivotal roles in determining cell fate during the early stage
of lymphoid cell development. These lineage specification factors not only promote a
particular T cell fate, but they are also responsible for repressing alternative differentiation
pathways. In our experiments, IL-12 and IL-4, which are critical for promoting Th1 or Th2
differentiation, respectively, and proinflammatory cytokines actively repress the fate of
CD4+ thymocytes to differentiate into Treg cells, suggesting that the transcriptional factors
induced by these cytokines override FOXP3-dependent generation of Treg cells. Both

TSLP-mDCs and TSLP-pDCs produce low levels of Th1-promoting cytokines and
prointlammatory cytokines. This sterile/aseptic way to activate DCs by TSLP may explain a
unique feature that is likely to be essential for the differentiation of FOXP3+ Treg cells in
the thymic microenvironment. Although the existence of a unique niche in the thymus has
been proposed, its exact nature has remained unclear.22,46 Decoding the molecular signature
of DCs, including surface molecules and soluble factors, such as cytokines, that positively or
negatively regulate thymic selection, should be accomplished in order to determine
mechanisms of Treg differentiation in the thymus. Thus, we speculate that Treg
differentiation in the thymus is regulated in a very subtle way by DCs, providing a suitable
niche that allows Treg cells to develop.
In mice, several studies showed that mouse TSLP strongly promotes the differentiation and
expansion of Foxp3+ Treg cells in the thymus and periphery.47-49 In fetal thymus organ
culture (FTOC) model, mouse TSLP increases expression of Foxp3 as well as Treg. The
expression of Foxp3 is inhibited by blocking TSLP.48 A striking reduction of Treg is
observed in IL-7Rα−/− mice. However, mice deficient in IL-7 or TSLPR do not exhibit any
differences in Treg development, and combined deletion of IL-7 and TSLPR greatly reduced
Treg development in the thymus, suggesting Treg cel1s require signals from the IL-7R, but
require partially overlapping actions of both IL-7 and TSLP for development of Treg cells in
mice.50 The difference in human and mice may be due to species differences, as Hassall's
corpuscle is well developed in the human thymus but poorly in mice.
T cell homeostasis is a self-regulating process for maintaining the overall size and TCR
repertoire of the pool of mature peripheral T cells. This process is essential for enabling the
adaptive immune system to respond to a variety of new pathogens and for maintaining
immunological memory to previously encountered pathogens.51 T cell homeostasis
contributes to the recovery of the peripheral T cell pool after T cell deletion caused by
certain viral infections, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.52 It can also maintain
peripheral T cell numbers throughout life when production of new naïve T cells has been
reduced because of an atrophic thymus. In mice, T cell homeostasis is maintained by T cell
survival and expansion triggered by self-antigen and cytokines. Survival and homeostatic
expansion of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells requires the interaction between the TCR and
self-peptide-MHC complex along with IL-7.51-55 Memory CD4+ T cell homeostasis is
regulated by IL-7 and TCR signals, whereas memory CD8+ T cell homeostasis depends on
IL-15 and/or IL-7.51-56 In humans, the memory CD4+ T cell population consists of central
memory T cells and an effector memory T cell subset.57 Central memory CD4+ T cells
express CCR7 and CD62L, which are homing receptors to secondary lymphoid organs, and
lack immediate effector function. Effector memory T cells express receptors that permit
migration into inflamed tissues and show immediate effector function. Effector memory
CD4+ T cells proliferate in response to the combination of IL-7 and IL-15.58 In contrast,
naïve CD4+ T cells and central memory CD4+ T cells do not proliferate in response to IL-7
and IL-15. Although monocyte-derived mature DCs endow naïve CD4+ T cells with the
capacity to respond to IL-7 and IL-15, this combination facilitates differentiation of central
memory CD4+ T cells into effector memory T cells.58
Thus, requirements for homeostatic proliferation of human naïve and central memory CD4+
T cells are still unclear. Because human TSLP-DCs induce very strong antigen-specific
expansion of naïve CD4+ T cells,8 we hypothesize that human TSLP-DCs support T cell
homeostasis by promoting autologous CD4+ T cell proliferation in the absence of foreign

We found that TSLP is expressed by crypt epitherial cells of human tonsils, and that its
expression is closely associated with DC-LAMP+-activated DCs under normal physiological
conditions (Fig. 3).41 Because TSLP-activated DCs have the capacity to induce very strong
expansion of naïve CD4+ T cells, we hypothesize that human TSLP expressed by the
epithelial cells of peripheral mucosa lymphoid tissues may playa critical role in DC-
mediated homeostatic proliferation of naïve and memory T cells. Indeed, we found that only
TSLP-activated mDCs, but not resting or IL-7, CD40L, LPS, or poly (I:C)-activated mDCs,
could induce a robust and sustained expansion of autologous naïve CD4+ T cells without
any exogenous antigens, cytokines, or fetal bovine serum. This unique ability of TSLP-
activated DCs correlated with their strong capacity to form prolonged conjugates with the
autologous naïve CD4+ T cells, thus providing sustained proliferation and survival signals.
The expansion of autologous naïve CD4+ T cells induced by TSLP-activated mDCs
displayed features of homeostatic expansion mediated by self-peptide-MHC complexes, 1) it
was dependent on MHC class II and the costimulatory molecules CDB0/CDB6, but not on
IL-7 or IL-15, 2) it was a polyc1onal expansion as indicated by TCR Vβ repertoire analysis
and CFSE-labeling experiments, and 3) the expanded T cells displayed a central memory T
cell phenotype (CD45R0+CCR7+CD27+CD62L+) and had the potential to further expand
and differentiate into either Th1 or Th2 effector cells.
Homeostatic proliferation of CRTH2+CD4+ memory T cell is also supported by TSLP-
activated autologous DCs. After multiple rounds of stimulation with TSLP-DCs, they
maintain the central memory T cell phenotypes and Th2 commitment.59 Under this
condition, OX40/OX40L interaction between TSLP-DCs and CRTH2+CD4+T cells, which
sustained DC-T cell conjugate formation, contributes to longevity of both DCs and T cells.
The survival of T cells by OX40/OX40L was associated with the induction of Bcl-xL and
8c1-2 expression.59-61
A recent study suggests that TSLP constitutively produced by epithelial cell in the gut is
critical to the conditioning of mucosal DCs to have a non-inflammatory phenotype and
maintain mucosal homeostasis.62-66 In support of this model, decreased TSLP production
was found to be associated with Crohn's disease.63 Further evidence for the involvement of
TSLP in maintaining gut homeostasis is the finding that TSLPR-deficient mice showed a
more rapid onset and severity of disease in a commensal bacteria-dependent mouse model of
inflammatory bowel disease,64 suggesting that one of the signals that induces TSLP
expression by epithelial cells may be triggered by commensal bacteria.
The major cell type responsive to TSLP is mDCs. TSLP represents the only factor that
activates mDCs without inducing them to produce Th1- and proinfiammatory cytokines.
This sterile/aseptic way of activating mDCs is in contrast to the way TLR ligands activate
DCs, and may explain the uniqueness of TSLP-DC function. Under normal physiological
conditions, human TSLP appears to play a critical role in CD4+T cell homeostasis in the
peripheral mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues41,63 and in the positive selection of Tregs in
the thymus.38,44

He's not getting KO'd by Cody Mckenzie is he.Even if he gets Ko'd in this fight it says nothing about his chin. It's overeem ffs. Hits hard enough to fuck up a grate trane.

We've used the Miraflex brand on our 17 month old daughter for a month and they've been great so far! Ours were in within a week of ordering them, and the strap really helps keep them in place. Good luck!

While I'm not going to discourage you from getting what you wish from McKee's methods, I prefer a different hands-on approach for screenwriting. I check out original scripts online, such as ones that survived to screen mostly untouched by the director (Scarface, Basic Instinct for example), and also read scripts that were heavily re-written (Zombieland for one).
Getting insights from established screenwriters is also good: I bought Joe Eszterhas' book which was a personal epiphany and remains a book I reread on a yearly basis. It has many pearls of wisdom inside from amazing writers such as Paddy Chayefsky.
I'm glad you got great praise from Gerrold, and I also am looking forward to your project with great interest...

Crime: A Black Woman Dies in Buckhead
Her name is ZaQuavia Kingsberry and she was 33-years-old when she died.
Kingsberry's mysterious death is making headlines in Atlanta, not because of how she lived but because of where she died: an upscale apartment complex in the tony Buckhead hamlet of Atlanta.
As sad as her story is, it is likely that we never would have heard of ZaQuavia Kingsberry had she been found dead in Bankhead Courts.
According to the AJC, in a story titled "Little information surrounding Buckhead apartment murder," ZaQuavia Kingsberry was found shot to death in her boyfriend's Buckhead apartment Wednesday afternoon.
She had been shot two or three times, Atlanta Police Maj. Keith Meadows said. "It was not a random act," said Carlos Campos, Atlanta police spokesman, to the media and neighbors assembled outside.
The boyfriend's name has not been released. But according to the AJC, Kingsberry was found in her boyfriend's fourth-floor apartment at the Gramercy at Buckhead Apartments, which the AJC continuously refers to as "distinctive apartment homes."
The AJC reporter paid a great a great deal of attention to Kingsberry's neighbors — especially Caragh Stichter, 24, a young, pretty blond, who busied herself calling other neighbors in the complex to report the incidence of violent urban crime in their midst.
"Your next door neighbor was shot and killed," she said while on the phone.
"I've seen nothing out of the ordinary here," Stichter told the AJC. "It's a safe community. You say that it could never happen, but it happened three doors down from me."
"Everyone is like, 'We want to break our lease,'" Stichter said.
And that pretty much sums up the story in the AJC. It's not so much about ZaQuavia's tragic death as it is about the "distinctive" Buckhead apartment complex where she died — and the upper middle class white residents who are stunned that urban violence has hit so close to home.
ZaQuavia's young, upper crust neighbors thought their expensive Buckhead address insulated them from the urban violence that plagues their neighbors to the South.
Kingsberry, 33, was visiting from Raleigh, N.C., where she worked at a homeless shelter. She also was a single mother, with children ages 15 and 4, according to Anne Burke, executive director of Urban Ministries, which runs the shelter.
"We're all in shock," Burke told the AJC on Thursday. "The women will be coming back into the shelter at 4 this afternoon, they'll probably have heard about it by then. This is going to be a very difficult day for all of us."
Thanks to the AJC, we now know Zaquavia Kingsberry's name — not because of how she lived, but because of where she died.

Thanks to loyal reader Kay Wallace for the tip.
Did the neighbors hear the multiple gun shots?
I guess because I'm black I'm always on edge and know crime can happen "everywhere". Sounds like its drug related to me. I wish we would stop killing eachothers. I pray the police find her killer. I'm sure it will be a priority so that the white people can have peace that their precious complex isn't really "crime ridden". This is so sad…
We just want to know what happened to her. Her family, her friends, her co-workers. Thanks soooo much Sandra.
RIP Quay.
And boo to the dumb folks who were so very "concerned" at the complex. She was someone's mom, daughter, sister and they are of no help at all.
It just goes to show that these people still live in "fairytale land". They actually believed that because of where they lived, nothing could ever happen there???
You can have all the gates and cameras where you live but if someone wants to commit a crime they will… I wonder if the boyfriend is co operating with the police?
I mean not trying to be funny, but did they really think because of the neighborhood they were exempt from crime? Do people really still think like that?
Ok, I guess it's me
http://atasteofeleganceep.blogspot.com/ dani818
This is sooo sad that people aren't concerned about how she died but where she died. I am praying for her children especially and her family. May God be with them.
@Alana comment #2
Why does it have to be drug related? Murders are committed during robberies,for insurance, to silence someone, get people out of their lives. There are lots of reasons besides drugs. Crime is crime. The varying degrees of crime is not exempt from any race, financial status or home location. Crime happens every where and every day. I this family find out what happened to their love one. Hopefully, there will be prosecution and justice served.
At least black killers do it in the open and can get tracked down and thrown in jail ASAP and they rarely kill soomeone who is not involved in one way or the other…. Now their white neighbours on the other hand may have dead bodies buried in the garden, bodies in freezers, bodies under beds and sex slaves in the basements…just for the fun of it or coz a 'voice' told them to.
May her soul rest in peace and may our communities learn to do better.

I was on a blog once where folks were commenting on story about robbers bursting into a family's home. And one of the commenters question how can someone just burst into someone's how like that. So yes….ppl do think like that smh

Lawd, forgive me for laughing at this comment.
I'm from Detroit and watched enough episodes of "first 48" to have a hunch of when something may be drug related. The fact that the police said it was not random let's you know it was a hit. Whatever the cause may be this woman was a mother, daughter, friend, etc to a lot of people and deserves justice to be served.
This is so sad. My prayers and condolences go out to her friends, co-workers & family, especially her children. I pray they find whomever did this!!!!
Yes they pay A LOT of money where they live but I'm sure they would have thought the same thing ""It's a safe community. You say that it could never happen, but it happened three doors down from me." if it were a white person killed. I took it to mean they aren't use to crimes of such caliber committed in their community, not that they are exempt from such crimes happening in their community.
I have some friends from college who know her. So sad.
sad story, no matter it happened. i hate when random stuff happens to people and its categorized 'wrong place, wrong time' typically.
KWALL did you know her?
Wow. It seems that the ppl who live there are more shocked that it happened in their community rather than the shock of a human-being being killed. Wow…

Thanks for posting this story, Sandra. I live in NC, so I've been seeing a lot about this story. I really think the boyfriend killed her, but that's only my theory. But my thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Yes @ Point I knew her. Think I will be feeling a lifetime of regret b/c she was one of those friends you lose touch with and then bump into somewhere in town…and promise to get up with, or go have a cup of coffee with, friend them on FB, etc. and just never do. I had spoken to her a few weeks ago and seen her out and about two months ago…and well…now it will never be.
Our kids are the same ages. She had two boys the exact same ages as my two girls. We used to tease each other ALL the time and say we were gonna be related by marriage one day through our 15 yo's. She used to tell me that WE was gonna hafta foot the wedding bill b/c the brides folks supposed to pay for the wedding…lmao. "Y'all saved for these kids 2025 wedding yet..??? You best get ON it!"
She was awesome. And smart. And funny.
@17 where are you sis…?? another nc native! well howdy. i am GLUED to the tv…i mean GLUED at all the news intervals (noon, 6 p.m., 11 p.m.) for any kind of update on what happened to quay.
but i already have that feeling too. one story stated that the police will not even release his name…that right there is suspect for real. i used to work at the paper and the name of who found the body, who was the last person to see someone alive, whether they are accused or NOT is ALWAYS released.

Anywho…I hope the find the murderer!

What a terrible tragedy! RIP ZaQuavia….
I hope whoever did this is brought to justice.
http://www.thesifirm.com securityone
This is a sad story and I hope they find out who did it….BUT lets be honest, there ARE less violent crimes in upscale areas than in urban areas. And if I lived in a low violent crime area and my neighbor was shot and killed, black or white, I would be concerned. WE ALL WOULD. But I agree with Sandra…it's a shame that AJC, a news outlet, is making the story more about the upset residents and not the victim. That's who we should be pissed at.
It's sad to say but crimes against people perceived to have money have
always drawn more attention than crimes against the 'DaQwon's & Quita's'
of the world. I guess the media figures nobody really gives a damn about
the average Black person dying. And as little noise as we make when these
crimes occur, maybe they're right. If White people were being murdered
at the rate Black people are, the National Guard would be patrolling
our streets 24/7.
Sandra, thanks for posting this story on your site.
I didn't know the young lady who was killed but this story was covered by our local news (raleigh/durham). I sincerly pray that they find whomever is responsible for this. Who ever did this has no idea of the turmoil, hurt and pain her family is going through.
Since she is from here our news is focusing on the person NOT where she died and that is a huge difference. This lady was loved and respected by many…May God bless her family during this difficult time
OK I don't want to be the only negative one here and kwall don't hate on me but they are saying she was a drug carrier and had been arrested before on this same charge. Not saying that's why she died and the AJC and news media did really make a big deal of where she died and the residents. They too are looking at the boyfriend but the police said he had a pretty air tight albi. But RIP and no one should ever die the way she did it was senseless and violent.
It's interesting how they haven't released the "boyfriend's" name, as well as the name of the other guy who entered the building with them, then later exited the building with just the 'boyfriend'.
It's also interesting that her closest friends know nothing about this 'boyfriend'.
I want to know whether or not the boyfriend was white.
Also, the building has airtight security, people have to be buzzed in. So the person who killed her had accessed, and likely lived there.
They haven't mentioned talking to the 'other guy'.
An Atlanta news reporter said she checked her facebook and was on the phone with a friend back in NC right before she was killed.

So sad…. I hope they find who did this……crime and murders occur every where it just occurs in certain areas more than others……

Ok, I guess it's me
It's not just you. Ppl really do think that where they live gives them a pass from crime. Why do women go to the gym/spa and wonder why the purse they left on the seat of their car w/all their credit cards and money stolen. Ppl wonder why they bothered moving to the burbs if they can't leave their house/car doors unlocked and wake up to find their vehicle stolen. It's sad but ppl who live in the Burbs get surprised when a Swat Team is on their block because a meth lab is operating next door, or their neighbor is accused of funneling money to terrorist. I am talking about my city and the ppl who do not live that far from my zip code. Crime is everywhere. People have a false sense of security that crime and drugs are only in "The Hood". I feel safer in my hood than I do the burbs. The security/police in the burbs act like it's Wild, Wild West time and if you don't look like you fit in they will run your azz out of Dodge.
R I P to ZaQuavia. After reading this story It makes me wonder if they are trying to keep those living there not to break their leases, and the bf is white and they don't wish to identify him at this time. Sounds like whomever the bf is, he is "lawyering up".
Ducks because I would be the first to say that the subdivision (East Cobb) I live in thought it was a big deal last summer when two cars were broken into and if something like a murder happened three houses down from mine, I'd definitely be surprised not because I believe my area is exempt from crimes but because we haven't experienced anything other than two cars being broken into in the last 8 going on 9 years.
@omina-homina – excellent points!!!
i think the boyfriend is a "suspect" but just hasn't been told such as of this writing. I couldn't find anything on him (name). NC has been showing so much love to her. The write ups have all been positive and just highlight the bad and good of her life and how she turned things around for herself. very sad story because it happened period, not cuz of where it happened.
KWALL, thx for sharing mami. I hope all are holding up as best they can. Buckhead's all up on a busline. I can't see why they would think crime can't happen there. It's like people who live in gated communities wondering how things happen in their communities. Um, mf's can hop a fence, come in with someone else, etc. Stop with the false sense of security people. Please.
So does this well to do building have security cameras? Was she alone when boyfriend left? Did boyfriend really ever leave? No one heard gun shots? Did boyfriend do this, then return 2 hours later to say "found her?" So many questions, and I've never met this lady. Sad.
what's up Kwall (us raleigh folks)! My condolences on your friend! It is strange that they are reporting in ATL that she is a drug carrier when here in Raleigh (where she lives, she was just visiting when killed) that she is worker for a nonprofit for homeless and battered woman. She was loved and respected on her job according to her supervisor. The boyrfriend sounds real suspect to me, it may been for him and she got caught in the crossfire! But mostly please pray for her kids and family!
"I feel safer in my hood than I do the burbs."
Gotta agree with this Anna. Atleast there u know the people living next door to you and mostly what they got going on. In the burbs u dnt knw ya neighbor at all.
RIP ZaQuavia
When you hear the word "Urban" whats the first thing you think of?
Black? Hiphop? City? Rap?
Since when is MURDER consider a URBAN crime? because it happened to a black person?
gawd so many questions…
RIP ZK I hope they find the killer…
i'm sorry for the young lady but, on the strength of buckhead, they are going to keep this quiet. if it were clayco or dekalb, we'd know every detail as it comes to light but most of these other areas keep their shit to themselves. i have coworkers in every county and crime and trouble in the schools are nothing new; we just don't hear about them like we do in the predominantly black counties.
13 aqtpie says: Yes they pay A LOT of money where they live but I'm sure they would have thought the same thing ""It's a safe community. You say that it could never happen, but it happened three doors down from me." if it were a white person killed. I took it to mean they aren't use to crimes of such caliber committed in their community, not that they are exempt from such crimes happening in their community.
basically. and at the time of the interviews, nobody knew any details. cops later found that it wasn't random. nothing wrong with them being alarmed or outraged about it. everybody doesn't have to just roll over and get used to it like we have.
Yes people still believe that because they live in a nice area that they will not be a victim of any type of crime. I live in Indianapolis(NAPTOWN), and when something happens in a nice area. The first thing those dumbass do is get on tv and say "i can't believe this happened in my area". Why is that? Your area is protected by a crime free bubble dome! Crime doesn't dicriminate. It can happen to anyone and anywhere! These silly ass people here, leave their doors unlocked and windows open. Their picture windows display everything they own because they don't close their curtains. Crimmals look for idiots like that everyday!
Sorry she lost her life. May she rest in peace. I hope they find her killer.

WOW!! My heart goes out to her children, to her mother and family!! I hope the AJC corrects it self and reports the more important aspects of this story: This lose of this mother, and what law enforcement is doing about solving her murder. It saddens me that the "DISTICTIVE APT COMPLEX" and the pretensious tenants who are threating to end their leases was the focus.
I am concerned about the use of the word "URBAN"……It tells a different story
This apartment complex cannot be that "upscale" with all those young adults……..At the end of the day its an apartment complex, this means all types of people come and go. Those fools will probably break their leases and move to another apartment >:(
free says:
i'm sorry for the young lady but, on the strength of buckhead, they are going to keep this quiet. if it were clayco or dekalb, we'd know every detail as it comes to light but most of these other areas keep their **** to themselves. i have coworkers in every county and crime and trouble in the schools are nothing new; we just don't hear about them like we do in the predominantly black counties.
When we moved to the burbs, there was always police activity on what appeared to be our 'quiet' street, and this was a predominantly white area. Everything from domestic violence to drug raids…NEVER on the news. My neighbors did have the 'it can't happen here' attitude. I remember at one HOA meeting, we talked about all of the home invasions on our street. Our house, thank God, was the only home not broken into. People were saying things like "I've never had to lock my doors" and "I pay our alarm company every month but we've never used it in six years." WTF? Crime doesn't have boundaries…period.
This doesn't surprise me…..my Cousin, who is James Brown's Ex-Son In Law was killed in an "upscale gated apartment complex" in Buckhead in 2008…Someone was in his garage; the same garage you have to have a code to get into…Shot him when he entered and was getting out of the car…it doesn't matter where you live anymore….As far as I know, as of today, they still haven't found the killer; now mind you, he had a lot going on in his business and personal life, but they haven't even found who did it! The killer is still out there and he isn't. Let's hope this doesn't happen to this victim……

Maui Jim Sunglasses
Maui Jim Sunglasses
Maui Jim doesn't mess around. You can tell just from looking. This range of rugged sunglasses makes no apologies for its bold and uncompromising appearance. Mixing a strong and assertive outlook with a sporty and oceanic style, this is perfect for you if you want laid back luxury.
Not every product is for everyone. If it were, we wouldn't have such a great range. If you're after men's sunglasses, check out the Sugar Beach range and other wrap-arounds. If you like what you see, but you're not quite sold, you might like to check out our Hookipa or Palms range instead.
It's not for no reason that Forbes once listed Maui Jim as one of their things "worth every penny". These high end glasses come direct from Hawaii, available with UV blocking polarised lenses, meaning safer eyes and more vivid colours. This is something the company prides itself on greatly, and that's fair enough. Their philosophy rests on the friendly "Aloha!" family attitude and philosophy. Your safety is their safety, and they take that personally.
Not only that, there are also reading glasses, to combine a love of reading with a love of the beach. Be sure to check if your prescription can come built in to the lenses, as this is a big selling point for Maui Jim. Their aim is to look after their customers' needs, and they take it seriously.
Founded in 1980, Maui Jim was just one beach stall in Lahaina, Hawaii, selling sunglasses to tourists who found themselves without. Sensing a gap in the market, Maui Jim set about developing lenses to keep the sun out, but let the colours in. It enjoyed great success in that endeavour, and the rest is history. By the company's own admission, the it has built a "cult following" in less than 40 years.
Far from resting on its laurels, Maui Jim went on to develop Maui Reader, and a Maui Passport prescription lens for wrap-around models which greatly increases sharpness and edge details. Their newest release is Maui HT which brings more vividness and clarity to low light conditions, allowing you to enjoy beautiful sunsets without compromising on eye safety.
The ability to build in a prescription is incredibly valuable. No more wandering around in the sun wearing fit-ons or clip-overs. Maui Jim has thought a step ahead, and is happy to present you with the perfect answer. Is the prospect of being able to leave the glasses in the hotel thrilling? Not being blind if you lose a pair of prescription lenses or contacts? We think that's pretty exciting, and so does Maui Jim.

Colorado official: Rio Grande use appropriate
But N.M. group says Colorado is threatening an endangered fish
ALAMOSA — For more than four decades, Colorado has followed the letter of the law that dictates how flows on the Rio Grande are divvied up with downstream neighbors New Mexico and Texas.
But a New Mexico environmental group concerned with the survival of an endangered fish says that is not enough.
WildEarth Guardians told Colorado officials in January it intended to sue the state over its management of the Rio Grande, claiming that the miserly flows that cross the state line in May and June of dry years were not enough to preserve the Rio Grande silvery minnow.
Last week, the group wrote to the U.S. Department of the Interior, which has the responsibility of preserving the fish and also plays a large role in managing the river in New Mexico, asking that it exert more influence over Colorado.

iBooks 1.1.1 adds audio, video support, PDF improvements
Apple has released iBooks 1.1.1, the latest version of its e-book reading application for the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. According to Apple, the new version includes the ability to double-tap images to view more detail, support for audio and video within books, performance improvements for PDF reading, fixes for an issue that caused some book downloads not to complete, and other stability and performance improvements. iBooks 1.1.1 is available now from the App Store.
Apple releases iTunes version 9.2.1
Apple has released iTunes version 9.2.1, the latest update to its media management software. According to Apple's release notes, iTunes version 9.2.1 disables older versions of certain incompatible third-party plug-ins, addresses issues concerning drag-and-drop, performance when first syncing some devices, upgrading to iOS 4 on an iPhone or iPod touch with encrypted back-ups, and "other issues" impacting stability and performance. iTunes 9.2.1 is available now via Apple's Software Update utility or as a direct download from apple.com/itunes.
Apple pulls Bumpers from retail, online Stores
Apple has pulled its remaining stock of iPhone 4 Bumper cases from its retail and online Stores ahead of its free giveaway. A check with an Ohio-based retail store, as well as with Apple's online store, shows no availability of the Apple-branded cases, and a retail store representative confirmed with iLounge that the cases had been pulled due to the giveaway. Apple announced on Friday that it would be offering a free Bumper or other, yet-to-be-determined case to all current iPhone 4 users and those who purchase the handset by September 30 due to complaints over the iPhone 4's antenna issues.
iPad to launch in nine more countries July 23
Apple has announced that the iPad will launch in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore this Friday, July 23. Both iPad with Wi-Fi and iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G models will be available at yet to be determined prices. The iPad is currently available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, and Apple claims it will roll out the device to "many more countries" later this year.
Apple posts video of iPhone 4 event, antenna info pages
Apple has posted a QuickTime video stream of its iPhone 4 press conference on its website. During the roughly hour-long event, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave a presentation explaining Apple's view of the antenna issues, and promised free cases to all current iPhone 4 users and all those who will purchase the device by September 30. Notably missing from the video stream is the question and answer session held directly following the presentation, a brief overview of which can be found here. In addition, the company has posted a pair of new webpages examining smartphone antenna performance and comparing that of the iPhone 4 to the BlackBerry Bold, HTC Droid Eris, Samsung Omnia II, and iPhone 3GS, and highlighting the company's antenna design and testing labs.
iPhone 4 to launch in 17 countries July 30, white model soon
Apple today revealed that it will launch the iPhone 4 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland on July 30. Notably, the list of countries does not include South Korea, which was previously scheduled to receive the phone at the same time; no reason was given for the delay. In addition, Apple said that white models of the iPhone 4 will be available in late July, but did not offer an exact date for availability, or reveal whether online pre-orders would be available.
Apple to offer free cases to iPhone 4 users
During today's iPhone 4 press conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed that due to complaints over the iPhone 4's antenna issue, Apple will be offering a free case to all customers who purchase an iPhone 4 by September 30. According to Jobs, users will be able to apply for the free case on Apple's website late next week, and the case will be shipped to them free of charge. Due to the low number of Bumper cases available, Apple also said it will be offering users a choice of cases beyond the Bumpers, but did not specify which cases would be eligible. For iPhone 4 users who have already purchased a Bumper case, Apple will be offering refunds, but will not be refunding those who purchased third-party cases.
Apple's iPhone 4 press conference starts at 10 a.m.
Apple's short-notice press conference regarding the iPhone 4 will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Although no one is certain what the company may say, earlier reports have indicated that the company is unlikely to issue a recall of current iPhone 4 units, and may well claim that the handset's reception problems can be fixed via a software update. Also unknown is whether or not the company will make any mention of the ongoing proximity sensor issue reported by some users. We will be updating this story throughout the event as information becomes available.
Apple posts iOS SDK 4.0.1
Apple has posted its iOS Software Development Kit (SDK) 4.0.1, bringing with it compatibility with the latest iOS software releases. Notably, Apple is warning developers that if they have updated their iPhones to iOS 4.0.1 or their iPads to iOS 3.2.1 they will need to download and install the new SDK to continue development. Unlike the iOS 4.1 beta and accompanying SDK released yesterday, iOS SDK 4.0.1 is available to all registered developers, and not just those who have paid Apple's $99 annual fee to enroll in the iPhone Developer Program. Apple's iOS SDK 4.0.1 is available now as a free download from the iPhone Dev Center.
Apple releases iOS 3.2.1 Software Update for iPad
Alongside iOS 4.0.1 for the iPhone, Apple today also released the iOS 3.2.1 Software Update for the iPad. According to Apple's release notes, the update brings improved Wi-Fi connectivity, fixes for issues that could prevent copy and paste of single-page PDF documents in Mail and cause video playback to freeze, improved reliability of video-out when using the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, and adds Bing as an option for Safari's search field. The iOS 3.2.1 Software Update for the iPad is available now for both iPad with Wi-Fi and iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G models via the Update feature in iTunes.
Apple releases iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone
Apple has released iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone, the first update to the iOS since the release of 4.0 on June 21. According to Apple's release notes, the 4.0.1 Software Update "improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display." Apple promised this fix in a press release earlier this month; it remains to be seen whether it also addresses the ongoing proximity sensor issue, as well. The iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 is available now via the Update feature in iTunes.
Apple patent points to new Dock connector
A newly published Apple patent application suggests the company is working on a new format Dock Connector that would allow device docking in multiple orientations. Entitled "Methods and Apparatuses For Docking a Portable Electronic Device That Has a Planar Like Configuration and That Operates in Multiple Orientations," the patent describes a docking system that, like current Apple Docks, offers both power and data to the connected device, either via flush contacts that physically touch similar contacts on the dock itself, or via inductive coils that could be concealed within the device's body. As AppleInsider notes, the patent also covers less progressive docking ideas including traditional electrical contact docks that can be rotated or adjusted; it notably also shows an iPad-like device being docked to an articulated arm not unlike the one found on earlier iMac models. As with all Apple patents, this filing does not necessarily represent any future product release from Apple, but offers evidence of the company's research in this area.
iOS 4.1 tweaks bars + FaceTime, adds Game Center + settings
Apple's limited developer release of the beta version of iOS 4.1 yesterday makes a handful of small new changes to iOS 4.0, which debuted in June 2010 for iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPod touch 2G, iPod touch 3G, and iPhone 4 devices. For readers who may be interested in what's changed, we've compiled a brief list, along with several screenshots provided by a reader.
One subtle change was first spotted in iOS 4.1 but will likely appear in an iOS 4.0.1 update, as well: Apple's signal bar strength meter has been updated to more accurately depict cellular signal strength, such that they will show fewer bars than before under some conditions, and the first three bars have been made larger.
Game Center, a matchmaking and leaderboard application for iOS 4-compatible games, has been added again to the list of icons. Apple included Game Center with developer versions of iOS 4.0 until the date of final release, but pulled the app from the publicly available iOS 4 release to give developers additional time to integrate their apps with the feature. The new version of Game Center includes an updated interface with stylized graphics.
Apple has added a new Settings > General > Restrictions option to turn off multi-player game matchmaking within Game Center, which disables the request tab and friend adding for that application. It has also added a new Settings > General > Keyboard option to disable the spell checking feature. User-created dictionary entries also appear to be in the offing for iOS 4.1, enabling the auto-correction feature to learn additional words that shouldn't be replaced.
Additional features include support for adding iPhone 4 FaceTime contacts to your Favorites list, a tweak that moves the Flash and Camera switch buttons to different locations when the device is tilted into landscape orientation, and a change to AVRCP Bluetooth handing that allows for track skipping. A version of iOS 4.1 for iPad notably has not been released by Apple.
Apple to discuss iPhone 4 on Friday
Apple has invited a small number of journalists to a special press conference, expected to be held at its headquarters in Cupertino, CA, to discuss the iPhone 4. Apple has not indicated who will be speaking at the event, which will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, nor has it given specifics about what exactly will be discussed, beyond saying that the event will focus on the iPhone 4. Most likely, the company will address concerns over the device's ongoing antenna issues, and possibly other, less publicized issues like malfunctioning proximity sensors.
Apple releases iOS 4.1, 4.1 SDK beta
Apple has released its first beta version of iOS 4.1, along with an accompanying software development kit (SDK), to registered iPhone developers. Notably, there is no version of the beta operating system available for the iPad, suggesting that contrary to prior reports, iOS 4.1 will not be a platform-unifying release, but will instead cater to Apple's pocketable devices exclusively. It is currently unknown what, if any, new features or APIs may be included in the update; it is also unknown whether it is meant to help alleviate initial problems with the iPhone 4, or whether those fixes will come in an incremental 4.0.1 update. Both the new iOS 4.1 SDK and pre-release builds are available now for download by registered iPhone developers from the iPhone Dev Center.
Apple acquires online mapping firm Poly9
Apple has acquired Québec-based online mapping firm Poly9, according to a new report. French-language le Soliel reports (Translated Link) that the transaction, specifics of which are not known, occurred recently, and that the vast majority of Poly9's staff have been relocated to Apple's Cupertino offices. While the company's website has been pulled down, an older version cached by archive.org shows that Poly9 specializes in developing and designing online mapping applications, online and offline 3D mapping applications, and mapping APIs. The purchase marks Apple's second mapping-related acquisition in as many years, as it purchased mapping service Placebase and its accompanying Pushpin API in July 2009. [via MDN]
Apple exec Scott Forstall joins Twitter
Scott Forstall, Apple's Senior Vice President of iOS Software, has joined Twitter. While Forstall has yet to post a single tweet, he already has 16,987 followers, but is following only one person himself: Conan O'Brien. Coincidentally, O'Brien's latest tweet as of this writing involves the iPhone 4. It says, "I found a huge design flaw in my new iPhone. People get angry when I talk on it during a funeral." It's unclear whether Forstall's account was created solely for his personal use, or if it represents the beginning of a larger push by Apple into social media, perhaps in an effort to battle negative press regarding the iPhone 4's reception issues.
AdMob: Apple not yet enforcing ad restrictions
Speaking at the MobileBeat 2010 conference, AdMob CEO Omar Hamoui has revealed that Apple has yet to enforce its new ad restrictions that would effectively ban the Google-owned mobile advertising service from the iOS platform. "They haven't been enforcing (the new regulations) yet. We're very appreciative of that," said Hamoui, according to a Cnet report. He went on to explain that were the restrictions enforced, "it would mean we could not run ads on the iPhone at all," adding that without the analytical data, AdMob couldn't even track who had clicked on their customer's ads, making it virtually impossible to sell any ads at all. In addition, Hamoui had praise for Apple's new iAds, saying, "the really rich pretty ads they're doing are making advertisers and agencies think about what mobile means. Anybody getting advertisers interested in mobile is a good thing. It's not at all a zero-sum game."
iPhone lawsuit goes class action nationwide
A long-standing lawsuit against Apple and AT&T over the two companies' iPhone exclusivity agreement has been granted expanded class action status. According to the court document posted online by Wired, the suit now covers "[a]ll persons who purchased or acquired an iPhone in the United States and entered into a two-year agreement with Defendant AT&T Mobility, LLC for iPhone voice and data service any time from June 29, 2007, to the present." In an interview with Wired, Mark Rifkin, lead counsel representing the plaintiffs of the suit, explained that AT&T's two-year contract provides an option for customers to terminate the agreement—for a fee—and switch to another carrier. Due to the nature of the U.S. cellular industry, and because the iPhone is only offered by AT&T, customers are essentially locked into using AT&T despite having the termination option.
Apple has argued that its original five-year iPhone exclusivity agreement with AT&T was widely reported, and that even if it wasn't disclosed, it fails to produce the kind of monopoly power claimed by the plaintiffs. Notably, the exclusivity situation described above is the same for many current smartphones from other cellular providers, such as the Evo 4G from Sprint, the Droid from Verizon, and the original model of the Nexus One from T-Mobile. In addition, it remains to be seen whether the five-year exclusivity deal between Apple and AT&T is still in place, as it has been speculated that the terms of the two companies' iPhone deal may have been part of the negotiations over iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G data plans.
Apple posts four new iPhone 4 FaceTime ads
Apple has posted four new iPhone 4 television commercials. Similar to the company's first iPhone 4 ad, the new 30-second spots highlight the phone's FaceTime video chat feature. "Meet Her" shows a new grandfather meeting his granddaughter for the first time, "Haircut" revolves around a boyfriend seeing his girlfriend's new haircut, "Smile" shows a father attempting to get his daughter to smile so he can see her new braces, and "Big News" shows a wife sharing the news with her husband that they are going to have a child. All four new TV ads are available for viewing on Apple's website.
