Kent State University provides many many computers for it's students, not to mention great Wi-fi connectivity There are tech-support services in every residence hall with 24 hour operation! Kent makes sure that it's students have all access to technology.
The computers at school are very nice. You would want to buy your own laptop, but there is the library that has tons of computers and many buildings that have computer labs in them.
the computers are very reliable and you can always find an open one
The speed of the network and the reliability of the network is very poor on campus. It often goes in and out of service throughout the day.
Some of the dorms do not even have computer labs, though if that is the case there is probably one in the next dorm. However, I think it's important to bring your own laptop because they're great to have in class.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Technology permeates most areas of campus life, so having ready access to a computer is undoubtedly necessary. Professors utilize online quizzes and homework for classes, and most branches of the University communicate with students primarily through email. Computer labs are readily available (with both Macs and PCs), and the University does a fairly good job of keeping them updated, but having your own computer is the most desirable and practical way to go.
Students' most prominent gripe with campus technology is that the University printers are not free. While the per-sheet cost is not expensive in itself (7 cents for black and white), students' complaints are based on principle more than anything else. After a recent upgrade, most of the University has access to the wireless network, though it functions better in some places than in others. Despite spotty connections in certain places, however, the expanded accessibility is appreciated by students. Though Kent State is not the most high-tech school, its computer resources and tech support are more than adequate for student needs, especially considering that most will opt to bring their own computer.

Utah Citizens Protesting Pollution Mic Check Utah Air Quality Board
Yesterday, the 99 Percent spoke out in favor of the planet and the air that all of us breathe. A group of activists from Occupy Salt Lake City and Peaceful Uprising attended a meeting of the Utah Division of Air Quality Board to ask that it take action to rein in air pollution and combat climate change.
The activists used a mic check to announce their grievances. "Division of Air Quality Board – we breath the poison you permit. We envision a cleaner community but you actively prevent it," they said as they began their remarks. Watch it:
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the "disruption lasted just a few minutes. So, by the time a trio of security officers arrived at the Department of Environmental Quality public meeting room shortly after the protest most of the activists sat quietly in their audience seats."

The interaction between Selena (a nicely wicked Faye Dunaway) and her friend Bionca (Brenda Vaccaro) make for some fun dialogue. Just a couple of gals having fun and dabbling in black magic. It's a nice bit of comic relief that fits quite nicely in the film.
...on the radio in one scene it is stated that Superman is off on another planet doing some diplomatic business and this is why he's not around. Actually, Christopher Reeve was considering being in the film. He would've been the one to show Supergirl around, and at the end, Supergirl would end up saving his life, but this would never come to pass after he decided not to be in the film. But one of my favorite moments is when Kara (Slater) walks into Lucy Lane's dorm room and sees the poster of Superman on the wall and just slowly puts her hand on it. I really liked that.
I highly recommend you pick up this 2 Disc Set before it's no longer available. Only 50,000 copies were made and once they're gone...they're gone. And although a single disc version will remain available, what you lose on the 2nd disc is the director's cut which adds on an additional 15 minutes of footage that rounds out more of the story and character development, paticularly, Jimmy Olsen (Marc McClure) and Lucy Lane (Maureen Teefy)'s relationship.Read more ›
The movie itself is a nice, crisp transfer with 5.1 digital surround sound. The audio commentary by the director and the special project consultant is among the most informative and fun I have ever listened to. The consultant manages to get the somewhat wooden director to reveal a lot of tidbits like Christopher Reeve's proposed cameo and the reasons behind why and how they created so many of the special effects and set pieces. To its credit, this film performs much better as a major motion picture after viewing the 138 minute director's cut included on disc 2 and seeing the original intent of the filmmakers. Cutting out a half-hour of footage from any movie is bound to affect the flow of the plot and characterization. Anchor Bay Entertainment should be commended for taking a widely panned movie and giving it the VIP treatment, proving irrefutably that it is possible to produce a great DVD for an under-appreciated movie.
On this very special edition DVD created by Anchor Bay, there are 2 versions of Supergirl. The first vesion is a Digitally Mastered, THX quality of the International Version of the movie (Yes, the one not shown in US theatres). The second version is an unrealeased Director's Cut, which contains about 24 mins of never before seen footage of the movie. Both were spectacular (in terms of quality and sound) despite its weak storyline. Included in the DVDs are: a featurette on "The Making of" the movie, Trailers, TV spots, stills, poster galleries, star bios, and even an Audio commentary by the director, on the various scenes throughout the movie. Above all these goodies, there is even a 16 page full-color booklet on the various aspects of the movie (and a mini-poster)!
Its too bad that the movie was a flop when it was shown in the theatres back in 1984 (due to the weak plot, no doubt). Helen Slater was simply meant to play Supergirl (she's a natural). Her portrayal of Supergirl's innocence and beauty could be seen in the ballet scene; and the night flight scene over the Chicago Skyline was simply awesome! Together with the music by Jerry Goldsmith, it was a match made in heaven (or Hollywood anyway).
This DVD set, in my opinion, is much better produced (in terms of it's contents) than Superman : The Movie, Special Edition. More movie special editions should be made like this one. I hope the Indiana Jones, and Star Wars Trilogy (if and when it comes out in DVD) could be produced exactly like this one.
This Limited Edition set is limited to 50,000 copies (every copy is numbered).Read more ›

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Here is a website that definitely knows how to catch the attention of scientists—on the homepage, in big letters, reads the phrase "do more science". This site offers great organizational tools to the bench scientist, including a calendar on which to plan one's experiments and a detailed "add an experiment" option. When experiments are added, the user can provide a description, write a protocol (complete with in-page timers), and add milestones to track one's progress. The website also provides ways to organize and catalog one's specimens, molecular reagents, miscellaneous materials, and storage boxes. All of these resources are free when an individual creates an account. (Of course, the system is built to integrate across lab members, so as to provide a central repository for reagents, etc. However, this option will cost you.) The website now has an accompanying iPad app, making it even more convenient for note-taking at the bench.

I haven't even thought of steampunk for a very long time! But what a great "movement".
Imagine: in a hundred years time kids may be dressing up in styles that our current eyes would see as a nineteenth century Victorian would regard steampunk.
Hope so.
Otto, I went to an amazing party last nite in Boston, can't tell you how many great steampunk inspired costumes I saw! I wonder if the technology revolution will ever insire anyone in the future the way the revisited industrial revolution did – Isambard Kingdom Brunel vs. Steve Jobs, grudge match!
Now, of course, we're getting smacking with a raging ice storm so all the smart kids will be trick or treating dressed as Yukon Cornelius or Paul Bunyan (someone's gotta move all those downed trees!).
Greg actually has a good handle on drawing steampunk fashion. I love that style. He did say last year that he likes the style so I'm just guessing he's kidding about using it as the punchline. Also, I'm sure a lot of people who read the strip would be surprised to find out that that's an actual band Luann referenced.
Damn, I wish I had gone to that party!
But yeah, imagine a Brunel-designed iPod – or a Jobs-designed Great Eastern!
I love the idea of cross-seminating (my term) different technological cultures. I was playing with TroyPunk for a while. It was inspired by a comment I read in 1971 about modern sportcars being nothing more than wheels with engines transplanted from Pheonician coal burning diesel galleys.
A good example of steampunk can be found at the end of "Back To The Future III" when Dr. Emmett Brown and his 19th century family visit Marty & Jen in 1985 while dressed in mid-1890s clothing and traveling in a modified steam locomotive.
I think the girls look terrific in their steampunk outfits. But the band should, of course, be Abney Park!
We now know where Luann is set. Steam Powered Giraffe is from the San Diego area.
That's the nicest Bernice has ever looked…
You must be kidding. Steampunk music is a marvelous hybrid of old and new. Abney Park, Vernian Process, and so many more…
That may well be the epitome of steampunk, in every sense of the term. Maybe that's the seminal origin of the expression?
Very deep thoughts today. Lots of wordage that shows either you are well educated or own a dictionary/thesauruses. Im not Trolling on you guys, I just think its refreshing to see words above the two syllable range. LuAnn in my opinion went a little far on the White. Looks more like a high dressed mime.
first time I saw and heard about "steampunk fashion and life" was in an episode of "Castle"
In response to the first question, steampunk is both a genre of music and of science fiction. I would not be surprised if it is a separate genre in more fields as well.
Hmm – nice costumes, and thanks for the band names – YouTube has some great samples. I've been reading steampunk for quite a while, but only recently became aware of the whole sub-culture of cons etc. I may be a 'nit' older than most of the other participants, but I can definitely see myself hitting the next local con ;-)
Earlier this year my family was invited to a wedding where guests were requested to dress in steampunk style. We had to skip that request as it was beyond our budgets and imaginations, but almost everyone else managed to comply. Some of them looked pretty impressive, too!

Former Fat Person Mike Huckabee Doesn't Think Michelle Obama Is a Dessert Tyrant
Huckabee disagrees with his friend Sarah Palin.
In the warped reality in which Sarah Palin resides, when Michelle Obama says that children should not eat dessert every day because they are all obese and will grow up to get the diabetus, this really means that America "should not have dessert" and that she doesn't "trust parents to make decisions for their own children." Mike Huckabee is actually an expert on eating dessert he used to be 300 pounds and said yesterday that Palin is just wrong.
With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin I thinks she's misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do. Michelle Obama is not trying to tell people what to eat or not trying to force the government's desires on people. But she's stating the obvious, that we do have an obesity crisis in this country, and if you don't believe it, I always tell people, walk into any third grade class, and look around, and then go back pick up your third grade school class picture if you're an adult, look at that picture and tell me what you see that looks starkly different than what you see today in the third grade. It will shock you.
Good idea, Mike Huckabee! Spending some time in a third-grade classroom would be especially educational for Palin.

It's contagious, and maybe that's part of the reason the Los Angeles Sparks players seemed to respond to him so well when he replaced Henry Bibby, who resigned last August.
(All right, no wisecracks about how the Sparks might also have rallied around a stuffed likeness of Mr. Ed, the Travelocity Roaming Gnome or an empty chair after the mercifully brief Bibby fiasco.)
Bryant appeared to quickly earn the players' support last season. And earlier this week, he officially was named the team's head coach.
Oh, sure, there could be plenty of other factors. Some would probably point out that one of Bryant's children, a fellow named Kobe, is a fairly successful member of some other hoops team in L.A., the one that owns the Sparks.
Then there's the fact that so many WNBA franchises are enamored with the concept of having coaches who:
A) played in the NBA and have a history of entirely or predominantly working with men's teams or
B) played in the NBA and have never coached on any official level at all.
And then there's the fact that L.A. pretty much had to finally announce somebody as the coach, since the WNBA season opens in a month.
Yeah, it's easy to find the flaws with this. Is Joe Bryant really the right person for this job? Does L.A. management really take the Sparks seriously? Can anybody but Michael Cooper successfully coach this franchise?
OK, I'm really not trying to be a little Sunshine Spreader here. However after talking to Bryant for a bit this week, I'm willing to say, "Let's give him a chance. Let's see what he can do."
Bryant is coaching a men's team in Japan right now, getting ready for the playoffs. He'll finish off his duties there, board a plane and get back to L.A. on May 1 and begin coaching the Sparks that same day.
Sure, that will be a week or so after they start training camp, and that's a concern for some observers, too. But late arrivals and crash-course season preparation are parts of the WNBA for the foreseeable future. I've done enough griping about it; I don't see a big change anytime soon.
For what it's worth, Bryant seems like the kind of person who operates best when he's whirlwind-busy.
"No time off," he said by phone from Japan on Wednesday. "I came here in October, right after the WNBA was finished. This season started in November and ends in April. So I'm coaching 12 months out of the year."
He laughs and if you hear it, you can't help but smile, too.
"If there were 14 months in a year," he adds, "I'd have another team."
Why? When you've competed in the NBA, you've played and coached internationally, your son is an NBA megastar and you've traveled the world over many times, what compels you to want to spend the summer with the WNBA?
How about this reason: Bryant likes the league, just as many other people have for a while. And he just flat-out likes to coach. He told L.A. general manager Penny Toler that whether she hired him to become the Sparks' head coach this season, he'd be around the gym to do whatever he could.
"The fun part of coaching is watching players grow, seeing them understand a certain moment or really get something that's been hard for them," Bryant said. "I said to Penny, 'I just want to help. I'll be around.' If nothing else, I like telling stories of all the players I've known."
Again, laughter bubbles from Bryant like a rush of rapids.
"When you get older, that's what you do: tell stories," he said. "Sometimes, the same stories over and over. But you tell them because there is some meaning there."
There's work for Bryant and the Sparks' management to do in terms of shaping this team. When I last checked L.A.'s on-line roster, there were about 78 players listed. OK, it was actually 24, but that's still a heap more than you're allowed.
For the first time, the Sparks will take the court without shooting guard Tamecka Dixon, one of the team's original members who's now in Houston. Nikki Teasley was traded to Washington for last season's rookie of the year,
Temeka Johnson, who'll take over at the point. Tamika Whitmore, the Sparks' third-leading scorer last season, is now with Indiana.
Of course, you know all about remaining stalwarts Lisa Leslie and Chamique Holdsclaw. Not much, just two of the best players in the history of the women's game. And Bryant said he has run up his phone bill checking in often to see how Mwadi Mabika is doing; she was limited greatly last season with injuries.
"We're looking forward to her being healthy; the updates I've been given indicate she is," Bryant said. "She's a special player. We're going to have a really good rotation and be able to run a lot of players in the game. As a coach, I would love to regularly use 10 players, not just six or seven. People who aren't going to be worried what their minutes or points are, but see the big picture."
Bryant is excited about Johnson's on-the-ball defensive skills.
"She's so aggressive, we'll expect her to pick up the opposing point guards as soon as they walk through the tunnel," he said, chuckling again. "And offensively, she can beat a press single-handedly."
He sees top draft pick Lisa Willis of UCLA doing a lot to help unclog the inside for Leslie, Holdsclaw and Christi Thomas.
Earlier Wednesday, I had talked to Willis about playing for her hometown Sparks, and she said one of the best parts about it -- besides staying close to all her family and friends -- was the chance to compete alongside one of the people she models her game after.
"Mwadi Mabika and Sheryl Swoopes are my favorite players," Willis said. "It's because they don't just play offense -- their game isn't limited to one thing, they have an all-around game. They always play defense well. When I was younger, I had to find somebody I felt I wanted to play like, and Mwadi was definitely that kind of player."
I relayed those thoughts to Bryant and asked if he saw similarity between Mabika and Willis.
"Absolutely -- for one thing, they both can shoot," Bryant said. "Lisa Willis can really extend the defense for us. If I have both Mwadi and her in the game at the same time, that really opens it up down low for Christi and Lisa (Leslie)."
The excitement in Bryant's voice looking ahead to the Sparks' season seemed genuine. Whether it will all work out well that's what we'll have to see.
Anybody who has followed the WNBA the first nine years knows there has been a lot of unintentionally comedic material when it comes to coaches. Washington's past revolving door (at least Richie Adubato seems to have
provided some stability; previously, about all the Mystics hadn't done was let a randomly chosen fan coach each game) Detroit's pre-Bill Laimbeer soap opera Cynthia Cooper's bizarro exit from Phoenix. And, well
really there has been enough just with the Mystics alone.
As the league is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary, questions are still being asked about the WNBA's coaching. And that's fair -- although there are far fewer obvious problems than there used to be.
Last season's situation in L.A. didn't exactly help that organization's track record. But Bryant did well in his short stint as an interim, going 4-1 to finish the regular season with the Sparks earning a playoff spot. Now, it's his team. There will be some who still wonder about that. And Michael Abraham's appointment as assistant coach has raised some eyebrows, too.
Abraham has a long history in women's basketball, as he was head coach at Cal State Northridge and an assistant at Oregon State and Long Beach State. But Abraham also served 18 months in jail after a 1999 conviction on federal
drug-trafficking charges. Obviously, Toler -- who played for Abraham -- believed in giving him another chance, as did Bryant.
Who knows? As we get into the season, the Sparks' situation could show that these coaching moves weren't wise. But let's not jump to that conclusion before seeing evidence.
Bryant will finish up in Japan and then start work immediately in L.A. He says he's ready.
"It's the way I like it -- busy," he said. "Sure, at some point [jet lag] is going to hit me, and I'll feel like I'm in the 'Twilight Zone.' "
Then he -- you guessed it -- laughed again. And it's worth noting that not all "Twilight Zone" episodes are creepy or macabre or downbeat. Sometimes, they had happy endings.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter
Use promo LIFESTRAW4 for an additional 10% off this weekend!
Due to high demand during our 4th of July sale, please allow 7-10 days for shipping. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Click here to purchase a discounted 2-pack of Lifestraws.
Click here to purchase "LifeStraw Family 1.0 Water Purifier "
Easy access to clean and safe drinking water anywhere! Filters at least 1,000 liters of water and removes up to 99.9% percent of waterborne bacteria.
Product Description
A Time Magazine "Invention of the Year" winner, LifeStraw is the most advanced, compact, ultralight personal water filter available. LifeStraw contains no chemicals or iodinated resin, no batteries and no moving parts to break or wear out. It features a high flow rate and weighs only 2oz. LifeStraw is perfect for the ultralight backpacker, traveler, boy scout, hunter, and especially for emergency preparedness.
LifeStraw filters to 0.2 microns through the use of hollow-fiber membranes, which are small tubes with even smaller pores. These pores allow water to pass, but prevent contaminants larger than 0.2 microns from flowing through. As you get closer to 264 gallons (1,000 liters), the pores will eventually become clogged with debris and the flow will stop.
LifeStraw is the water filter chosen by leading NGOs for humanitarian relief worldwide since launch in 2005. LifeStraws have been sent to Africa, Pakistan, Haiti, and South America for disaster aid, and a portion of domestic sales support this donation program. LifeStraw has only been available in North America since 2011, when excess inventory has allowed it.
- Drink directly from streams, or from a wide-mouth water bottle
- Removes a minimum of 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (>LOG 6 reduction)
- Removes 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>LOG 3 reduction)
- Surpasses EPA guidelines for E. coli, Giardia (beaver fever), and Cryptosporidium oocysts, and others.
- Reduces water turbidity, filters particles of approximately 0.2 microns.
- Filters up to 264 gallons (1000 liters) of contaminated water per manufacturer.
- Contains no chemicals. Does NOT contain iodinated resin (iodine): safe for thyroid gland. BPA-free.
- Will not allow water to flow when it reaches capacity.
- The choice of NGOs for worldwide humanitarian relief since 2005. A portion of sales goes to support clean water projects worldwide.
How To Use the LifeStraw Water Filter
Filtering your drinking water could not be simpler. With LifeStraw you can drink directly from puddles or streams, or you may find it easier to scoop water with your wide-mouthed water bottle and drink from it using the LifeStraw. When new, the filter membrane is very dry and must be primed before use. Uncap the top and bottom caps and insert the base of the straw into the contaminated water, being careful to keep the mouthpiece dry. Let it sit for 30 seconds to allow water to creep up the membrane, then take 5 quick sucks to get the water flowing. It takes roughly 3-5 seconds of sucking to start the flow of water through the filter when the membrane is dry.
When finished drinking, blow a breath of air back down into the LifeStraw to purge the remaining water out, shake, and recap. If you drink from murky water and the water flow stops, blow back into it to purge the water and mud from the filter. When you return home from a hiking trip, drink some tap water with the LifeStraw, purge the filter by blowing back into it, and leave it to dry with the caps off.The LifeStraw will not desalinate salt water, remove dissolved chemicals or minerals, nor remove viruses. If drinking from water which may have viruses in it (e.g. contaminated by human sewage), pre-treat with water treatment tablets. See the included instruction manual for more information. Additional Features:- No after-taste. LifeStraw has no after-taste, since no chlorine, iodine or other chemicals are used. - No waiting time. You can drink from your LifeStraw right away. There is no need to wait for water to drip or chemicals to act.- 5-year shelf life: Can be stored and used periodically. The shelf life is not reduced if the LifeStraw is used occasionally and then put back in storage.- LifeStraw meets or exceeds EPA standards for efficacy. LifeStraw was successfully assessed in laboratory conditions (harsher conditions than what is required by the EPA in terms of turbidity and organic matter), up to 1600 liters (approximately 160% of design life). Independent testing at the University of Arizona showed that LifeStraw exceeds the EPA requirements of LOG 6 reduction for bacteria and LOG 3 reduction for protozoan parasites.Bacteria removed include: Escherichia coli ("E. Coli"), Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae ("Cholera"), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella, Salmonella. Protozoa removed include: Giardia lamblia ("Beaver Fever"), Cryptosporidium parvum ("Crypto"), Entamoeba histolytica.

(I apologize for the briefness of Lucy's post. I'm stretched over 3 RPs I'm GMing consisting of approximately 17 characters I'm playing disregarding chat RP and I apparently hallucinated pressing submit and must've closed my fallout tab at some point, losing my original post.)
Lucy - On route to Oreburgh
Lucy observed Amethyst with interest. The smaller girl claimed she was alright, but she seemed out of it. One of the males nearby asked her if he could come with her and she decidedly hesitated a moment to respond. You see, Amethyst had just done the most adorable thing. She had thoughtlessly taken the had they had been left with and put it on for herself! This honestly brought a smile to Lucy's face, and she scooped the smaller girl up and cradled her in her arms, completely ignoring any implications.
Finally she acknowledged the boys, Total and Alex.
"Um... alright. We're heading south to Oreburgh on our way to Mount Coronet. Follow along if you want."
She then turned her gaze directly on Alex. This boy had asked for... help.
"If we can help you on our way there, we'd be glad to. But we've got to get moving. We were supposed to be gone a while back..."
And just like that, Lucy turned and began to walk, carrying Amethyst once again, this time in her arms.
Hailey and Arcea - Children's City
a very... well dressed girl with short green hair and oddly eerie red eyes
, was spoken to by a stranger that had no place in her current conversation. She just sort of silently turned to Ignis and acknowledged him with rather cold eyes. It was as if she were trying to pierce into his mind and read his thoughts, figure out what he thought he was doing. After a moment or two she smiled for unknown reasons and seemed to warm up to his intrusion. Turning to him and just sort of... allowing the conversation with Tim to end, she spoke up in a mildly amused sounding voice.
Hailey: "Very well. I'm called Hailey, and I think this'll work..."
Hailey glanced briefly at Fulgur, acknowledging his presence.
Hailey: "This is Arcea, by the way."
Hailey gestured at a
somewhat older girl sporting odd yellow marking outlining her eyes and a fish-like tail hanging off the back of her head, and an even larger one poking out from underneath her rather short skirt.
Both were openly fused with their pokespirits, not remotely scared. This was after all a city known for being friendly to wielders.
Arcea seemed to have her attention shifting back and fourth between the two boys, before settling on Fulgur. Her expression didn't say much. She flashed four large rather thick fangs, two on the top of her mouth and two on the bottom, at Fulgur by smiling. She didn't have any other teeth however, which was arguably... creepy. One could presume that she certainly didn't chew /her/ food
Hailey: "We were discussing the purging of Jubilife when some of my friends here and I had a... disagreement. The plan's simple. We head out to Jubilife, staying a good distance outside the city, and we remotely bomb the place until the adults are too afraid to come back. To do this I'm going to need both of you to power yourselves up however you can. It will require great sacrifice, but if you've got the
to change this world, you already know that doesn't matter."
Hailey seemed to give Ignis a scrutinizing look.
Hailey: "...Something tells me you've got exactly the guts I've been searching for. Maybe even a bit more than this tool."
Hailey gestured briefly at Arcea. Arcea just sort of turned her gaze on Hailey expressionlessly. She did not react to the insult.

Airport Commission Chairman Steps Down
Published: Friday, April 13, 2007 at 6:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 13, 2007 at 6:25 p.m.
Jeff Teuton has resigned from the Houma-Terrebonne Airport Commission, effective immediately.
Teuton, 63, was the commissions chairman. His letter of resignation was officially accepted by the Terrebonne Parish Council on Wednesday.
Ive had a great run, he said. I really enjoyed it.
Teuton said he decided to step down because his numerous business and personal commitments made it impossible for him to concentrate on his duties as a commissioner.
Ive just got plenty on my plate right now, he said.

Skyworks (NASDAQ: SWKS ) has posted its Q1 2013 results. The company revenue amounted to $454 million, a 15% increase over the same period last year. That figure was several million dollars higher than the $451 million expected by analysts. Non-GAAP net income was $107 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. This generally matched market expectations, and was 11% higher than Q1 2012's number.
In its earnings release, Skyworks also provided guidance for its current quarter. The company quoted its CFO Donald Palette as saying:
We anticipate revenue to be up 15 percent year-over-year with better than normal seasonality to approximately $420 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.47.

All Rise...
Judge Mitchell Hattaway feels cheated and disillusioned. Elves are supposed to be so noble!
The Charge
Idle hands are the devil's plaything.
The Case
Elfen Lied is the story of teenage cousins and their schizophrenic mutant friend. Sounds fun, huh? In fact, it is pretty fun. It's also incredibly violent, packed to the gills with female nudity, and borderline misogynistic. If you're so inclined, it's just what the doctor ordered.
Here's a little bit of background: On a small island somewhere off the Japanese coast, a group of Diclonius are being kept in an underground lab/bunker. Diclonius are humanoid mutants; their mutant traits include small horns sticking out of their skulls and telepathically manipulated phantom arms (known as vectors) with a reach of at least two meters. Being trapped inside all these years (not to mention being poked and prodded by scientists on a daily basis) has left the Diclonius with serious mental health issues (homicidal tendencies being the most troubling). The government has taken every precaution to keep the Diclonius from leaving the island, but…well, you can probably guess what happens.
ADV's first volume of episodes from this series contains four installments. Here's a rundown of each:
• Episode 1: "A Chance Encounter"
• Episode 2: "Annihilation"
• Episode 3: "Deep Feelings"
• Episode 4: "Attack"
I don't normally go for shows like Elfen Lied; I'm not a big fan of pointlessly gratuitous violence, and cartoon nudity isn't my bag, either, but for some reason this one works for me. I'd probably be hard-pressed to defend the show on an artistic level, but it is rather stylishly done. And while at times the plot's treatment of some of its female characters seems ready to cross the line, a course correction is usually right around the corner. For example, when we first meet Bandoh, he cold cocks his female assistant simply because she interrupts him; later on, following his encounter with Lucy, Bandoh (who is now limbless and blind) is told he will have to be castrated. Seems Lucy, in an effort to create more of her kind, used her vectors to taint his seed with Diclonius DNA, so it wouldn't be a good idea to let him procreate. I was also pleased by the distinct lack of annoyingly goofy, stupid characters. Imagine that—a cast populated primarily by kids, but not a needlessly immature idiot in sight. In fact, the one bubbly, bumbling character is dispatched in the first five minutes (Lucy uses her vectors to remove the young woman's head). Gotta love that.
ADV's transfer is darn near stunning; it's bold and bright and really pops. Both audio options do the job nicely. While neither is as immersive or punchy as I was hoping, they do really cut loose when the action starts. (Just so you'll know—some of the voice acting in the dub made my ears bleed. Don't say I didn't warn you.) Extras include clean opening/closing animation, production art for the show's characters and settings, a preview for the second volume in this series, and previews for other ADV releases.
I quite enjoyed Elfen Lied, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Give it a shot.

Apparently somewhere along the line I set up my blog to disable comments on old posts -- after X amount of days, the comment box goes away. The thing is, I would kind of like to enable comments on old posts again -- but I can't find out what I did to disable them! I thought it was the autoshutoff plugin, but I don't see that anywhere on my site. Then I thought it was Spam Karma 2, but I disabled that and the comments are still closed on the old entries.
Any ideas???

Abstract70560 New mid-infrared laser sources, such as the Quantum Cascade (QC) laser, are necessary to develop advanced and inexpensive gas sensing systems to monitor industrial-related chemical processes, including combustion and pollution effluent. This project will develop QC lasers with emission wavelengths near 10 ¿m, suitable for sensing ammonia, volatile organic hydrocarbons, and other important substances. These lasers will have the tunability and narrow linewidth required for spectroscopic applications. Phase I will concentrate on device design, simulation, and modeling, along with developing processing procedures, especially grating fabrication. The parameters affecting laser performance will be identified and characterized. Initially simple broad-area Fabry-Perot devices will be fabricated, and then ridge-waveguide distributed feedback lasers will be made. Phase II will optimize the fabrication procedures developed in Phase I. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The QC lasers should have application to combustion chamber monitoring and combustion process control, sensitive monitoring of pollution effluent from petrochemical plants and other industrial facilities, high-sensitivity monitoring of potentially harmful chemicals to ensure worker safety, and monitoring of chemical processing conditions for yield enhancement.

Posts Tagged 'Philip Roth'
Cover Model
November 6, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
T: The New York Times Style Magazine just sent us a sneak preview of their newest cover model: Philip Roth. He's in handsome company, perhaps dangerously so. The last guy on the cover was Channing Tatum.
But if Roth has that stressed, I-can't-bear-to-look thing going on—anxiety chic—it's not because he's out of his depth in the modeling game. It's because he's been rereading his own work, always a dicey proposition. Specifically, he's been rereading Portnoy's Complaint, to which his reputation remains staked, many decades and nearly two dozen novels later. Roth doesn't have a problem with that, but he does have a problem with those who have cast the book as gratuitous or indecorous:
I portrayed a man who is the repository of every unacceptable thought, a 33-year-old man possessed by dangerous sensations, nasty opinions, savage grievances, sinister feelings and, of course, one stalked by the implacable presence of lust. In short, I wrote about the quotient of the unsocialized that is rooted in almost everyone … One writes a repellent book (and Portnoy's Complaint was taken by many to be solely that) not to be repellent but to represent the repellent, to air the repellent, to expose it, to reveal how it looks and what it is. Chekhov wisely advised that the writer's task lies not in solving problems but in properly presenting the problem.
With his usual candor, Roth meditates on Alexander Portnoy's standing today, in these "erotically unfettered" times. His essay is one in a series wherein authors reread their own work; there's also Lydia Davis on Break It Down, Robert Caro on The Power Broker, George Saunders on CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, Marilynne Robinson on Housekeeping, Jennifer Egan on A Visit From the Goon Squad, and Junot Díaz on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. You can read all of them here.
Next month, these writers and others are auctioning annotated first editions of their books to benefit PEN American Center. The auction, "First Editions, Second Thoughts," takes place December 2 at Christie's New York; previews begin November 17.
"The Life-World of the Occupation," and Other News
October 9, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Just in case you haven't heard: the French writer Patrick Modiano has won the Nobel Prize in Literature. His work evokes "the most ungraspable human destinies," the Swedish Academy says. Apologies to the many runners up whose work evokes only the second most ungraspable human destinies.
- Such as, oh, say, Philip Roth: "For years, the story goes, Roth would actually make the trip into New York to wait in his agents' office for the call, a rough publicity schedule ready to be printed and activated. There he would sit, in a meeting room presumably prepared with refreshments, and at the end of the day, make the long, sad trip back to Connecticut."
- "There's been a trend, in recent years, of novels based on the biographies of novelists. If some readers might recoil from the genre, the success of writers such as Colm Tóibín (who novelized the life of Henry James) and David Lodge (who also wrote a fictional account of James, as well as of H. G. Wells) suggest that a fictionalized life can revivify even the most heavily biographized writers—or at least those from the turn of the nineteenth century."
- Newly discovered Indonesian cave paintings, some forty thousand years old, suggest "a new view about modern human origins, about when we became cognitively modern."
- Pong, the video game that launched an entire industry, was first manufactured in an abandoned roller rink: "The Pong games were put together not on an assembly line but in the middle of the floor, with young workers ambling up to stick in the various components.
The World's Tiniest Comic Strip, and Other News
May 15, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- St. Marks Bookshop has signed a lease on a new location: 136 East Third Street, near Avenue A. The plan is to move sometime this fall; "the owners are exploring a transition to nonprofit status."
- Philip Roth gave a talk at Yaddo yesterday—it will probably be his last. "After he gave a reading at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y, Roth insisted that it was 'absolutely the last appearance' … Roth did not refer to those remarks on Wednesday. But when the Associated Press emailed his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, and asked whether Roth had given his last public talk, Wylie responded, 'That's his last.'"
- The smallest comic strip in the world has been laser-etched onto a single strand of human hair.
- A thought on International Conscientious Objectors' day: "It occurred to me that conscientious objectors are underrepresented in the literature of war. There are many references to conscience: to soldiers who signed up but later doubted the rightness of the cause and to deserters, to those who were, by our standards, wrongly accused of cowardice. But references to actual conchies, as they were (not always affectionately) known, are thin on the ground."
- How does a work of art come to be considered great? The latest research in canon formation suggests that the "mere-exposure effect" and cumulative advantage play a larger role than intrinsic quality.
- To the NSA's growing list of offenses, we can now add "hideously outmoded graphic design, especially in PowerPoint presentations."
The Sound of Pure Internet, and Other News
May 6, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- One of the finest World War II documentaries, 1945's The Battle of San Pietro, was faked. Does this make it less true?
- Here's what it was like to attend a literature seminar taught by Philip Roth in the seventies: "He barely looked at us or made eye contact, but murmured a hello, then sat down in his chair, crossed one long leg over the other, and slowly unbuckled his watch. That's as sexy as it got."
- "Does journalism fit into capitalism? … Journalism does exist in capitalism, and capitalism is kicking journalists' asses. The same goes for editors, and for many publications."
- Matt Parker, a sound artist, has been touring data hubs—those epicenters of the Internet, where all our e-stuff takes physical form—and recording the ethereal hum they give off. The result: "musical renderings of the great churn … an incredibly loud and obnoxious place filled with white noise and buzzing hard drives."
- Analyzing the artisanal toast trend: "Artisanal toast is hardly the first harbinger of our food obsession, or even necessarily the most egregious, but it's become a scapegoat for a growing, broader cultural backlash; the toast that broke the camel's back."
A Philip Roth Bonanza
March 19, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Philip Roth turns eighty-one today. You must be wondering: How can you, little old you, partake of such an historic occasion? Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You could masturbate into a piece of raw liver, à la Alexander Portnoy; you could masturbate on your mistress's grave, like Mickey Sabbath; or you could masturbate into your beloved's hair, as David Kepesh does.
Then again, there's no law saying life must imitate art. If you're absolutely set on not paying tribute through masturbation, there is one other option: you can peruse our archives, where you'll find a whole host of work by, about, or otherwise in the orbit of Philip Roth. Read More »
Celebrating Alain Resnais, and Other News
March 3, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Who can talk about the Oscars when Alain Resnais has died, at ninety-one? YouTube offers a number of interviews with him; many consist of baffled Frenchmen attempting to divine the meaning of Last Year in Marienbad.
- Scientists have looked into being funny: the whys, the hows, the what-have-yous. "It could be that office-cooler witticisms, stand-up routines, and sitcoms are just part of one big pickup line you never saw coming." Surely many of us have seen it coming.
- Bill Watterson, the Calvin and Hobbes creator, has drawn his first public cartoon in nearly twenty years. It contains buttocks.
- "Surely the fact that writers really don't mean a goddamn thing to nine-tenths of the population doesn't hurt. It's inebriating." An expansive new interview with Philip Roth.
- Take out your credit card and clear your schedule: you're about to buy an erotic computer game based on Oscar Wilde's Salomé.

Automakers prepping plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles frequently tout the low cost of recharging, but we seldom hear how much it'll cost owners to install the charger itself. Depending on the age of the home and its existing electrical infrastructure, the cost could run from a reasonable $750 to a significant $10,000.
To obtain the quickest charge time, most customers charging at home will likely be forced to use a semi-permanent charger, powered by either a 220- or 240-volt supply. All U.S. homes are equipped to handle a standard 110-volt socket, but older structures may not be equipped to handle the greatly increased voltage and corresponding current. Upgrading the power feed could prove to be a major contributing factor to the cost of a home EV charging station.
Jonathan Read, president and CEO of ECOtality (the company working with Nissan to create home charging stations for the Leaf EV), told The New York Times that the hardware for the charging station will be around $300 to $350, and typical installation costs will range from $500 to $1500. This, however, is for homes equipped with a typical 200-amp or higher electrical service. According to Richard Lowenthal, CEO of charging company Coulomb, the cost of installation could increase to as much as $10,000 "if new service and panels are needed."
It's uncertain, though, if early EV adopters will have to carry that cost entirely out of pocket. Lowenthal says chargers may be included in the car's purchase or lease (as is the case with the Mini E), and some automakers could subsidize some of the cost of their installation. Additionally, several cities are offering rebates towards charger installation, as is the federal government itself ($2000, good through December 2010).

Hi, all
I'm not a total newbie to HTML and CSS, but I inherited a Web site from someone who was either a giant expert or knew how to copy and paste the right stuff in the right places, and this site has me completely flummoxed.
The situation is this: I want to change the header of the site (nextstepsnfp.org) from blue to black, and get rid of the yellow rule lines underneath the header. Honestly, that's it. Seemed pretty simple to me: just download the images, make the changes to the images, save the images with the same filename, delete the old ones, upload the new ones, and voila! all done.
Alas, no joy with that.
I found the file for the header in style.css (not in header.php), but it has repeats, and a bunch of other files that I can't find in the File Manager. Here's the code for the repeats:
/* =Structure
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
/* The main theme structure */
#top_container{background-image:url(images/bkg-hdr-repeat.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:100%; height:205px;}
#content_container{width:100%; background-image:url(images/bg_header_repeat.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top;}
#content_container_inner{ width:100%; background-image:url(images/bg_header_inner_repeat.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top; padding:20px 0px 20px 0px}
#bottom_container{background-image:url(images/bg_bottom.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:100%; height:60px;}
#footer_container{width:100%; height:51px; background-color:#fff;}
.centercolumn{width:940px; margin:0px auto 0px auto;}
The only image that's in the images folder is "bkg-hdr-repeat.jpg" all of the other images listed in the images folder aren't there.
I was able to replace the actual header, but it only filled the center of the top of the Web site; the rest of the top of the Web site stayed the same. Here's the more code that seems to have something to do with the header:
[CSS code moderated - the link to your site is sufficient to access the stylesheet]
So, I get that most of the code doesn't have a whole lot to do with the actual image bkg-hdr.jpg (which is the one I successfully changed, but which only filled up the middle of the header), but I included it because I have a strong suspicion that the yellow bar is in there...somewhere. On the other hand, the repeat image (which is 1 px wide) has the thicker of the two yellow rule lines in it; bdg-hdr.jpg does not.
Hope this gives you what you need to help me. Seriously, all I wanted to do was swap out the blue header for a black and white one, get rid of the yellow rule line (or change its color), drop in the updated logo, and change the text colors to the red-and-black color scheme that the client wants, all of which I thought I could handle. But dammit, Jim, I'm a graphic designer, not a coder! All this CSS and HTML is giving me a headache in my eye...
Help me, Obi Wan Kenoders...you're my only hope...

I'm trying to enable PerlCritic support in Komodo.
The official word from ActiveState, the makers of Komodo IDE 5.1 (Win 32) is:
"To enable PerlCritic support, please install the 'Perl-Critic' and 'criticism' modules."
Well, installing Perl-Critic was a piece of cake:
ppm install Bundle-Perl-Critic
However, I've search every repository in PPM4, (trouchelle and the usual suspects) and they don't seem to have the module called 'criticism'. I've installed lots of modules using CPAN and PPM, but this module proves to be the most elusive so far. Am I missing something here?
Has anyone got any luck enabling PerlCritic support in Komodo 5.1 on Windows? Hope to hear from you. The feature works perfectly in MacOS and Linux though...hmmm.

Answer Have worn them for both work & just chill'n & never had it come untucked or expose any thing,I hope this answers your question.
Answer I don't know in that i ordered large shirts. I can say that in Wolverine and Carhart T-shirts I wear a medium. With these less expensive T's I always order a size up. The length of the Large unwashed Gildan T from the top of the shoulder seam to the bottom of the bottom hem is 281/2 inches.
Answer Do not know about M.
L is 26.75 " . Wish this is helpful.
Answer If you hover over the "Sizes Available" with your mouse, a tap will appear and provide you with the correct numeric sizing. I hope this helps.
Question "Hi,||I'm interested in your labels & wondering if you do custom lettering on your labels. If this service is available please email me asap @ email@example.com||Thank you for your time."
Answer Unfortunately we not not offer a custom labeling service.
Question "Do Gilden cotton tee shirts run large? AND, do they shrink or loose their shape in a cold water wash? Do they loose color as quickly as Hanes products? Thank you."
Answer The Gildan Cotton T-Shirt does run true to size.
Question "What is the meaning of "2nds"?"
Answer •2nds: Minor cosmetic blemishes or irregulars which do not affect the fit, performance, or longevity of the item. Label is usually clipped by the manufacturer.||**You can find the meaning of any unfamiliar word in our content by clicking on our glossary link located at the bottom of every page.
Answer A 2nd means that there was something wrong with the item that wasn't quite up to manufacturer standards. It could be something as small as the stitching wasn't quite right, it could be a mark on the fabric or it could be a hole or cut to the wrong size. It is hard to tell what it could be.
Answer It's an article of clothing that has a little something wrong with it. Like a seam that is crooked, a flaw in the material, dirt on the material etc. Usually the flaws are not noticeable. I buy seconds a lot especially in work clothes for the men of my family. I also buy 2nds in clothes that I wear just for everyday stuff.
Answer It means that they didn't pass some inspection. Could be for any reason really: color, sizing, sewing, etc. I didn't notice any problem with the five I bought. They wash well, fit well, seem to be sewn really well.
Answer They have some minor factory defects or blemishes. I bought two and I haven't found the defects on mine.
