Rhetoric Courses
CHANGE: Not much change in the courses. The team prep rooms are re-organized so they have twelve computers (three new computers are added) and the practice room 305 becomes the storage room.
Courses treat Rhetoric and Public Address as a liberal art, proposing that such communication is not a skill learned by rule but an exercise of judgment that can be no better than the communicator's understanding of the nature of the communicative acts.
The Rhetoric or Public Address minor: A minimum of twenty credits in Rhetoric and Public Address that consists of course work in two areas of study: (A) a four credit Performance requirement to be satisfied through Rhetoric 110, 210, or four credits of Rhetoric 221 or 222; (B) a sixteen credit Theory, Criticism, and Case Study requirement to be satisfied through Rhetoric 240, 270, 370, 379, and 380. Up to four credits of departmentally approved Rhetoric 401 and 402 may be taken to satisfy the Theory, Criticism, and Case Study requirement.

Green Guilt: Most Hybrid Owners Don't Buy One Again
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Auto owners looking to go green may want to take notice of a new report out by Edmunds.com noting hybrid owners don't repeat that purchase when looking for a new set of wheels.
That's not stopping brand new buyers from grabbing a fuel-efficient vehicle. According to Wards Auto, U.S. vehicles that averaged more than 30 miles per gallon accounted for 11.8% of all new car sales in the U.S. in March. That's up from 4.3% from the same time last year.
|The more carmakers focus on improving the gas mileage of non-hybrid vehicles, the more consumers are turning away from hybrids.
It's what happens when hybrid owners want to buy a new car that makes the Edmunds report so interesting.
9 Stocks That Prove Dividends Make All the Difference >>The online auto trading site surveyed drivers in Boston and found that only 38.4% of Beantown drivers who owned a hybrid would buy another one. The automotive market research firm R.L. Polk, which conducted the Edmunds Boston drivers' study, also says that only 35% of hybrid car owners bought another electric/gas vehicle as a trade-in during 2011. The fact that only about one-third of hybrid owners would repeat the hybrid experience is surprising, given the positive press coverage "green" vehicles enjoy. "Even as gas prices soar, the economics of buying a hybrid vehicle don't make much sense in many cases," Edmunds.com Chief Economist Lacey Plache explained in a statement. "The lineup of hybrid vehicles and their premium price points just aren't appealing enough to consumers, especially given the growing strength of fuel economy among compact and midsize competitors." 4 Stocks That Are Real Sleepers in 2012 >> Reading between the lines, it would seem hybrid buyers buy their vehicles not just for altruistic reasons, but to save money on gas prices, too. The average cost of a gallon of gas in Philadelphia-- a good benchmark for the rest of the country - is currently $3.98, according to the American Automobile Association. "Having a hybrid in the product lineup can certainly give a brand a competitive edge when it comes to attracting new customers," notes Brad Smith, director of Polk's Loyalty Management Practice. "(But) the repurchase rates of hybrid vehicles are an indication that consumers are continuing to seek alternative solutions to high fuel prices." Edmunds posits the theory that drivers are finding "attractive and affordable gasoline-powered" alternatives that look and drive better than hybrids, but also offer those fuel savings drives are looking for. Altogether, the auto industry has upped the volume on fuel-efficient vehicles, with a 30% increase in the availability of new cars - gas-powered and hybrid - that offer drivers more than 30 miles per gallon in 2011 and 2012.

Dell Shares Dive as Revenues Soften
ROUND ROCK, Texas ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Dell (DELL), the world's No. 2 PC maker, fell after second-quarter revenue trailed analysts' estimates. The company said sales in the current quarter will slip from the second quarter.
The Round Rock, Texas-based company reported revenue of $14.5 billion, down from $15.7 billion in the same period last year, and below analysts' forecast of $14.64 billion.
Excluding items, Dell earned 50 cents a share, compared to 54 cents a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 45 cents a share.
With PC sales under pressure, Dell expects its third-quarter revenue to slip between 2% and 5% sequentially. Excluding items, the HP (HPQ) rival also adjusted its full-year earnings guidance to $1.70 a share, which includes a 2- to 3-cent dilutive impact from Dell's pending acquisition of Quest Software (QSFT). Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of $1.90 a share.The company's shares slumped 3.6% to $11.90 in extended trading after falling almost 2% during the regular session. "Growth in our PC business was challenging, as we saw a tough macroeconomic and competitive environment, and continued to focus on higher-value solutions in this business," Dell CFO Brian Gladden said in a statement released after the market close. Dell, however, said that attempts to boost its enterprise business are starting to pay off. "Our performance in the second quarter provided another proof-point that our long-term strategy is right," said Gladden. "We continued our progress in shifting the mix of our business to higher-margin enterprise solutions, led by solid growth in our server, networking, services, and Dell IP storage businesses." Revenue from Dell's Enterprise Solutions and Services business grew 6% year-over-year to reach $4.9 billion. The company's server and networking sales climbed 14% over the same period, while revenue from Dell-owned storage increased 6%. Dell Services revenue came in at $2.1 billion, an increase of 3%. --Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A barn fire near Janesville in southern Wisconsin has killed more than 50 goats.
The Rock County sheriff's department says the fire started about 9:45 p.m. Saturday. It says about 55 of the 70 goats in the barn were killed, and that that damages could exceed $170,000.
The barn was fully engulfed within minutes of when firefighters arrived in the scene.
No people were injured, but other buildings at the farm sustained heat damage. Traffic on U.S. Highway 14 had to be rerouted for over four hours while crews from four fire departments fought the blaze.
The cause is under investigation.

APA's Council of Representatives has elected Jean A. Carter, PhD, and Rosie Phillips Bingham, PhD, to serve three-year terms on APA's Board of Directors. Each woman brings a wealth of governance experience, resourcefulness and creativity to the job:
Academician and counseling psychologist Rosie Phillips Bingham, PhD, has risen through the ranks at the University of Memphis, serving as vice president for student affairs since 2003.
Bingham may be best known for co-creating APA's annual National Multicultural Conference and Summit. She has served on council for Div. 17 (Society of Counseling Psychology) for six years (2001–07) and as president of Div. 17 in 1998. She chaired APA's Board of Professional Affairs in 2005.
In her new position, Bingham intends to make sure council feels it's heard. "Sometimes the council members feel a little separated. I want to focus on that and make sure the board really serves council," she says.
At Memphis, she recently fought to double the number of scholarships provided to students who could participate in an Emerging Leaders Program that trains up-and-coming students to be leaders in community and campus organizations.
Little-known fact: Bingham's 24-year-old son, Akil Davis, is a spoken word/rap artist and member of a popular New York City music group called Ippazzi, which debuted its first album, "Balance Between," last year. "He's far more interesting than I am," she says.
Bingham used his title as the inspiration for an upcoming chapter she wrote for "The Handbook of Multicultural Counseling" called "My Life as a Balance Between..."
A 28-year veteran of psychology private practice, Jean A. Carter, PhD, also has an abundance of APA leadership experience. She represented Div. 42 (Psychologists in Independent Practice) on council from 2005–07, chaired APA's Committee for the Advancement of Professional Practice in 2004, served as vice chair of APA's Finance Committee in 2008 and on APA's Presidential Task Force on Evidence Based Practice in 2004–05. She has been president of three APA divisions: Div. 17 (Society of Counseling Psychology), Div. 29 (Psychotherapy) and Div. 42.
One issue Carter plans to focus on as a board member is the research and practice divide, which she believes requires a new approach.
"When we talk about the science and practice split, some of what we are running into is a cultural or worldview problem," Carter says. "If we could apply some of our knowledge about multicultural perspectives, we may better value one another without having to defend ourselves as valuable."
Little-known fact: Carter is the third-oldest in a family of 11 children, raised in Los Alamos, N.M. "I spent my whole life taking care of people," says Carter. "Going into psychology was a very natural move."

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Back in the print era, Laura Lippman worked as a reporter for the Waco Tribune-Herald and then for the San Antonio Light. I'll always remember her story on a Rocky Horror Picture Show audience participation midnight showing.
For the past decade, Lippman's been a bestselling mystery author for several years based in Baltimore. HarperCollins recently announced it sold more ebook copies than hard cover copies of her book I'd Know You Anywhere.
It's a watershed moment. Things change and never are the same again.
At the time of that announcement last month, 11,250 Lippman ebooks had sold compared to 9,300 hardcovers. The hardcover costs $17.50 as of this writing on Amazon.com and $12.15 for the Amazon Kindle edition.
Some still believe ebooks will enhance print sales. This belief conflicts with today's technical and economic realities we see (or refuse to see). The market has transformed.
Because of this transformation, I predict Harry Potter series will remain the top selling print book. I predict brick-and-mortar book stores will continue to shrink their book inventories and increase their coffee shop and gift accessories as they struggle to make the jump to the digital age. As publishers fight over the dwindling print book space like wholesale food industry fights over grocery store space, it's impressive to see how much shelf space Lippman takes up in the typical Texas bookstore with her novels set in Baltimore (with the exception of San Antonio-set In Big Trouble).
You may remember the 1980s predictions of a paperless society within a few years when the personal computer exploded onto the market. However, those personal computers also brought huge sales of printers, and there was an explosion in the office supply market.
What we didn't reckon was that you needed to grow a generation up on computers who prefer reading electronic words over print words. The Greatest Generation that was educated on the GI Bill is dying off. The Baby Boomer Generation struggles to adapt. But the Digital Generation is taking over. My son and his college friends read books, newspapers and magazines on their Kindles, iPads and phones. They search through and correlate more information within a few days than my generation did in semesters. With the exception of the business card, print continues to dwindle.
The economic forces are hard to argue against. Those of us who grew up with print and no digital access are a dwindling subset of the civilized world. You see it from the surviving newspapers whack their staffs with layoff after layoff. While at least one Texas newspaper has deemphasized its digital presence and poured resources into increasing its print circulation, I think it's a misplaced moment. Whatever modest gains come in circulation of print, the increase in those who read digitally far outpaces that growth. The reading public is growing younger, and they want a screen that reacts to fingertouch. Touching newsprint just smudges fingers.
Perhaps these predictions, along with those pundits who predict the Chinese economy will swallow the rest of the world, will never materialize. However, it's hard to argue against the economic force of the current technocracy. Short of a major catastrophe—electromagnetic pulse devices or some other major disruption of our increasingly redundant electronic environment, I don't think it can be derailed.
Late at night, I reach for my phone to read instead of a book, and don't have to turn on a lamp. When I look at the hundreds of books on my phone library, I realize I'd need a mansion lined with bookshelves if these were print books instead of ebooks. My gut instinct: print is dead as we knew it. It died before Lippman's book sold more ebooks than hardback. Lippman's book just bangs another nail in the coffin of remembrance.
I recently visited the Boston Public Library, then the Baylor Law Library. The vast majority in the library are on laptops. No piles of books sit on the tables. No sounds of turning pages disturb the air as these words sound in your mind.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Carroll Electric Profile
[View Printable Page]
About Us
Our Profile
We exist to serve our members with safe, reliable, and convenient electricity at the lowest possible cost.
What is a Cooperative:
Carroll Electric is a not-for-profit cooperative owned by its members. Originally, cooperatives served rural areas not profitable enough for investor-owned utilities.
Utilities like SWEPCO, Entergy, Empire, and OG&E are owned by investors who, like all investors, expect a return on their investment.
Some cities have their own electric systems. Generally they have the highest density of consumers and sales.
Despite having lower density, Carroll Electric's rates are among the lowest in the state and nation.
Cooperative Benchmarking:
Carroll is constantly looking to improve its performance. We compare ourselves to the other 820 electric cooperatives nationwide and stack up pretty well:
Carroll is the largest cooperative in Arkansas. Nationwide we rank in the top 5% in terms of consumers, kWh sold, assets, employees, and miles of line. Consumer growth also exceeds the 5% ranking.
Financial Strength:
Utilities (especially fast growing utilities like Carroll) require a lot of capital. Approximately half of the cooperative's $472 million in assets is financed by long-term debt. The other half is supported by the cooperative's equity. Member equity is strong and returned through lower rates and lower interest expense. Carroll Electric's residential rates are 26% lower than the national average.
Wise Management:
Carroll's board and management understand a dollar saved or spent is ultimately a dollar in or out of our members' pockets. Comparing Carroll Electric to 820 other electric cooperatives nationwide, you can take pride knowing:

Sophie Lowe & Michael Socha from ABC's Wonderland
Two young orphans in the Tirolian Mountains come under siege by a vicious band of hunters. Frightened of being separated by child services following the death of their mother, a self-sufficient 16-year-old girl (Sophie Lowe) and her 10-year-old brother (Maximilian Harnisch) - who hasn't spoken a word since seeing his father killed by the mayor (Peter Stormare) - strive to live off the land in peace. Their innocence is shattered, however, when a group of hunters led by the mayor's son brutalizes and rapes the free-spirited girl. Later, when a well-meaning social services worker arrives too late to protect the terrorized siblings, the girl and her brother prepare to take a stand against their ruthless attackers.
Watch the video Are You Ready for a Butt-Kicking Alice? on Yahoo Celebrity . 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' on ABC this fall features Sophie Lowe playing a very different Alice than you've ever seen before. We're taking a look at this new, tough Alice and some other fresh faces on Fall TV this season.

Here's an exclusive clip from Thursday's episode of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland, which finds Alice and Will, the Knave, confronting a fire-breathing dragon. The scene was shot on location outside Vancouver at Alouette Lake in Golden Ears National Park. "I love being out here," the show's Alice, Sophie Lowe, told me on set. "We had to start out here at 4 a.m. when it was still pitch dark, but when the sun came out we discovered how beautiful it is. Even though we have to deal with rain and planes, I definitely enjoy location shoots more than our green screen scenes."
During breaks in filming, the cast set out on their own to explore the park's wonders. "I'm from the middle of England with grey skies and no water or sun, so I'm always wandering off into Vancouver's forests," says Michael Socha (Knave Will). "I'm just glad I haven't bumped into one of those bloody bears yet!"
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland airs Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland has gotten off to a rocky start, but the Once spin-off surprised viewers by revealing that the Red Queen (Emma Rigby) was actually the Knave's (Michael Socha) former love from another world.

Evaluation & Validation
Quick Links
ASA24 is based upon the USDA Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM), which has been validated and shown to accurately estimate mean total energy and protein intakes compared to recovery biomarkers (Kipnis et al, 2003; Moshfegh et al, 2008).
The ASA24 development team conducted numerous small-scale cognitive and usability tests on the Beta, ASA24-2011, and ASA24-2014 Respondent Web sites. Preliminary examination of output from recalls completed using ASA24 suggested acceptable face validity (i.e., calorie, nutrient, and food group estimates that are consistent with data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). Data from recent validation and evaluation studies, not yet published, indicate very close agreement between ASA24 and standardized interviewer-administered 24-hour recalls.
To formally evaluate the impact of the change in mode of administration from the interviewer-administered AMPM 24-hour recall to a self-administered web-based recall, two studies were conducted using ASA24-2011:
- One large study of healthy individuals in a variety of geographic regions compared the nutrient and food group estimates from respondents completing ASA24 to those completing a standardized AMPM interviewer-administered recall (manuscript submitted). Findings indicate comparability between ASA24 and AMPM.
- In a second smaller study, citation below, investigators unobtrusively documented food intakes of participants randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group completed a recall using ASA24 and the second group completed a standardized AMPM interviewer-administered recall. Analyses considered how each of these recalls performed relative to true intake. The AMPM performed slightly better than the ASA24 relative to true intake for matches (the proportion of items consumed that were reported), exclusions (foods consumed but not reported), and intrusions (food reported but not consumed). There was little evidence of differences between the AMPM and the ASA24 in true and reported energy, nutrient, and food group intakes or portion sizes. Overall, the ASA24 performed well and is comparable to the AMPM as an instrument for collecting dietary intake data from large samples.
- Kirkpatrick SI, Subar AF, Douglass D, Zimmerman TP, Thompson FE, Kahle LL, George SM, Dodd KW, Potischman N. Performance of the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Recall relative to a measure of true intakes and to an interviewer-administered 24-h recall. Am J Clin Nutr 2014 Apr 30;100(1):233-240. [Epub ahead of print] [View Abstract]
In addition, ASA24-2011 is being evaluated within the Multi-Cohort Eating and Activity Study for Understanding Reporting Error (MEASURE), which is designed to assess the structure of measurement error in self-report diet and physical activity instruments in multiple large cohorts. Data collection for MEASURE, which includes sub-studies in three cohorts (the Harvard Nurses' Health Study, the Harvard Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, and the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study), began in late 2010. The Nurses' Health study used the Beta version of ASA24; the other two cohorts used ASA24-2011. Data collection has finished for all three studies, and results are expected in late 2014 or early 2015.
Because the methods by which data are collected in ASA24-2014 and ASA24-2011 are nearly identical, no formal evaluation or validation efforts are planned by NCI for ASA24-2014. Changes between ASA24-2011 and ASA24-2014 were intended to improve the usability of the search and editing functions in addition to adding some new features. NCI has no reason to believe that the validation findings from the studies of ASA24-2011 will be any different for ASA24-2014. Collaboration with researchers who are interested in evaluating ASA24-2014 as part of their research is welcome. Please contact Amy Subar at email@example.com for further information.
Formative research was conducted in the early stages of the adaptation of ASA24 for children. However, ASA24-Kids-2014 and ASA24-Kids-2012 have not yet been formally evaluated. Collaboration with researchers who are interested in evaluating ASA24-Kids-2014 as part of their research is welcome. Please contact Amy Subar at email@example.com for further information.

Equatorial Guinea And Spain Agree To Increase Air Traffic Between Madrid And Malabo
Ceiba Intercontinental and Iberia will operate a total of 15 flights per week.
MALABO, Equatorial Guinea, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The governments of Equatorial Guinea and Spain recently signed an agreement to increase the number of passenger flights on the Malabo- Madrid route operated by Equatorial Guinea's national airline, Ceiba Intercontinental, to eight flights per week. Ceiba currently operates three flights per week.
Agapito Mba Mokuy, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Equatorial Guinea, and Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain, signed the agreement on Wednesday, November 28.
Ceiba Intercontinental made its historic first intercontinental flight on October 4 from Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, to Madrid. Ceiba is currently servicing the route with a newly acquired Boeing 777 aircraft. Spain's airline, Iberia, recently announced it will increase the Malabo- Madrid route from three to seven flights per week.Lufthansa and Air France offer service between Malabo and Frankfurt and Paris, respectively. Malabo is also served by royal Air Maroc and Ethiopian Airlines. Ceiba offers service from Malabo and Bata to several destinations in Africa. This agreement reflects the growth of the economy and the increased business activity in Equatorial Guinea, which is centered largely around petroleum and natural gas production. The government of Equatorial Guinea has launched a development plan with the goal of creating a sustainable and more diversified economy by 2020. About Equatorial Guinea The Republic of Equatorial Guinea ( Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s, American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The country hosted the 2011 Summit of the African Union.

work was followed by basic, exciting developments: the discovery of neutrons, of nuclear reactions and the transmutations of elements, of isotopes, of the detailed nature of radioactivity. These discoveries followed in quick succession, in parallel with the developing insight that a revolutionary new framework—quantum mechanics—was needed to describe phenomena or the scales of the atom and the nucleus. This period also initiated our understanding of how nuclear processes fuel the Sun.
The early sequence of discoveries led, during World War II, to the Manhattan Project, which was based on the prior investigation of basic nuclear properties and played a key role in the history of our nation and the world. Applications of nuclear techniques to benefit human health started early, with major developments in this field continuing to the present.
The 1950s and 1960s saw the conceptual development of basic models of the atomic nucleus that provided a successful, if approximate, phenomenological framework for describing nuclear structure and reactions. The roots of many of today's urgent questions in nuclear physics can be traced to this period: Why were such model descriptions of the nucleus so successful? How do they arise as low-energy, long-distance representations of the more fundamental theory of quarks and gluons? How do the symmetries that govern the strong interactions constrain this framework and influence the different temperature regimes? What are the limitations of the models as smaller length scales and higher energies are probed? Studies of nuclear beta decay undertaken in this period helped establish the form of the weak interaction and guided the formulation of a Standard Model that has been astoundingly successful in uniting the weak and electromagnetic interactions. Yet this model remains incomplete. How can we find hints of the missing physics with low-energy precision experiments in nuclei testing the limitations of the Standard Model?
The fundamental questions that confront nuclear physics today have inevitably led the field to extend its horizons, both in the reach of its frontiers and in the scope of its research enterprise. The size and energy scales of present-day nuclear physics extend from the world of atomic and condensed matter physics to the more microscopic domain of high-energy physics, and at the large end of the scale, to the stars and the cosmos. It is this broad reach that makes nuclear physics so interesting to many scientists (more than 3,000 in the United States alone) and so integrally connected to other sciences. Nuclear physics both contributes to and benefits from other fields—for instance, from atomic physics for intricate table-top experiments, to high-energy physics for hall-size collider detectors. High-energy physics is concerned with the elementary particles and their interactions; it is the goal of nuclear physics to understand and explain why and

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Get the latest on issues affecting the IT Industry in Canada.
April 13th and 14th, 2011
Hyatt Regency Montréal, 1255 Jeanne-Mance, Montréal, Quebec, Canada H5B 1E5
A Strategic Microelectronics Council of ITAC Event
The emergence of new technologies have foreshadowed major revolutions in business models, driven not just by new capabilities, but by these new capabilities breaking through price barriers at which they can be adopted by consumers en mass – bipolar to CMOS; mixed signal CMOS; GaAs ICs.
In packaging technologies, the widespread adoption of the plastic Dual-in-Line package enabled mass produced consumer devices – starting with the pocket calculator!
There has been much discussion and debate on the "More Moore" trend and how we are rapidly approaching the time where this is no longer applicable to the semiconductor industry. In fact, the "More Moore" trend is unlikely to continue without significant technological intervention. So, will the advent of 3D ICs prove to be that technological intervention that will herald the continuation of "More Moore"? Will 3D IC/TSV remove roadblocks to higher system demands? The benefits of this design approach are obvious and will address end-customer demands for smarter, faster, lower power and lower cost ICs and systems. So, if 3D IC/TSV is the answer, when can we expect the industry to adopt this process and what resources, tools and support are needed to successfully integrate this design approach for future growth and profitability?
This year's Forum will explore the opportunities available to the microelectronics community by taking advantage of this fundamental change. Leading world experts will share their knowledge and perspectives on the challenges affecting system design, architecture, supply-chain partnerships, cost structures and the impact this could have on end product capabilities and the bottom-line.
Please mark your calendars and register today so that you do not miss the networking and learning that could impact your organisation's response to a fundamental change in your industry.

Over 100+ Recordings And Counting
UPDATE – Dec. 16, 2014 – Over the next few months look forward to a much more organized website and many more recordings to be added regularly. In the current state it is nearly impossible to add to, so I just stopped. Yet ones are always asking when new ones will be added. I have come up with a solution and have already started to do it, it will be a large project for me and take months. The site will soon be on the main domain, not the /blog it currently is, and there will be many different sections to the website, with every single recording categorized, tagged and searchable. I am hoping to have this finished by Spring 2015. I am having a new chat box made since the old one was too unreliable, so I just removed it entirely until then since it has not been working since Nov. 2014. Feel free to message me on Yahoo of Skype until then, my ID on both is sensualsexysharon
Everyone that sees this blog is a fellow phone sex or erotic audio recordings lover. I have made this website for all of you. Links to sites I thought you'd like that I've come across, some little things I've written and recorded you might enjoy listening to. If you've chatted with me, even if you didn't have the elusive voice I seek, hopefully you felt I was a nice, sweet girl. I have enjoyed my chats with you boys, my auditions you've all endured. You all share my love of phone. Listening to another person on the end of the line as they moan, and breathe, and stroke themselves to ecstasy.
How I'd love to post kiss and tell additions after each and every phone session, but I know that's not nice or fair, and I won't do that. I won't rank you, all I've done that with, not on here anyway! Ha ha….(Though I easily could, and have.) A satisfying phone partner is a subjective thing, I know. No one is everyone's cup of tea. What drives one wild may turn another off, such is the way of the world.
One of my Literotica fans who's a real audiofile mentioned the quality of the soundfiles is better in these download links I have on my site here than on the compressed Literotica submissions. So he asked me to post all the download links here so he could have as high a quality download as he could get. So for those of you that feel the same, here you go.
Recordings Note:
These play best in IE. I am not sure why in Chrome some of these cut off, I'm looking into getting a different player made. If you are listening to a recording and it stops, try it in IE. The "Welcome To My Blog Greeting" is a perfect example, it plays fully in IE, yet halfway in using Chrome it stops. I don't know why. So I recommend IE for listening to these.

'The Collection': Horror flick is a horrible flick in every way
By Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle
There's a bad movie every week, but it takes a special one to make you start thinking about the decline of Western civilization. Which brings us to "The Collection," a movie with one idea, and get ready, it's a big one: Imagine if young people think they're in a dance club, but they're actually in a really big food processor.
A second idea is really a subset of the first one and also has a culinary inspiration. Imagine if the few young folks that escape getting puréed accidentally get stuck in ... a gigantic garlic press! Wouldn't that be something?
And yes, it is something. "The Collection" is bloody, disgusting and ridiculous, but the one thing it's not is horror, not real horror, not in the sense of tense or scary. It's not cinema, either. It's not even fun.
In "The Collection" — from director Marcus Dunstan (he wrote "Saw IV") — there is a serial killer in a black mask who has been staging mass murders but also abducting individuals to add to his collection. One day, Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick) and her friends go off to an underground dance club (oh no!), and the night takes an unfortunate turn. Most of her friends are liquefied. But Elena, the lucky one, ends up in a trunk in the maniac's house.
The rest of the movie is about a rescue team's misguided attempt to save the young woman. And that's the whole movie: People in a house coming across disgusting things — pickled and decaying bodies — while trying to avoid booby traps. The effect isn't terrifying or claustrophobic, just numbing and disheartening.

Byon May 8, 2013
New Jersey governor Chris Christie may be trying to undergo a physical transformation in some some areas of his life, but it appears that he's having trouble letting go of some old habits. Yesterday Christie released a YouTube video that playfully extolled the powers of his navy fleece jacket, and pondered what would become of the politico should said jacket go missing.
The clip, above, proposes that without his signature outerwear, Christie is unrecognizable and drained of influence Samson without his hair, if you will. The governor enlisted some major star power including Jon Bon Jovi and Alec Baldwin to help him make his point, but we think that the case of the missing fleece would be best left unsolved. In fact, maybe he should take this as a sign from some higher power that the loss of this item is a chance to emerge reborn, and with more style to boot. After the jump, five options that Christie may want to consider to replace his lost cover-up.

Zoya Stunning Summer 2013 Nail Polish Swatches & Review
If the whole texture trend is giving you hives, Zoya has the cure with its summer nail polish collection of six cremes, Zoya Stunning. A rainbow of rich, creamy hues that can be worn together or on their own.
This type of candy-colored collection always brings back memories of the first Skittles manicure I showed you, using the Zoya Candy collection, or how we debated whether multi-colored manicures were trendy or tacky. Now, that wouldn't even be a question. Oh how times have changed since I launched this site, over six years ago.

Clinique "A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins" Review & Swatches
The first non-drugstore beauty brand I ever spent my hard earned money on was Clinique and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. During my teen years, my Caboodle was chock full of jade marble shadow & blush cases (New Clover was my jam!) and my bathroom drawer had dozens of mini Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotions from GWP sets. And when Black Honey Almost Lipstick launched, you wouldn't catch me dead without a tube. But when it came to nails, Clinique had nothing for me.
Yes, they've had polish in the past but it always felt like an afterthought, until now. Introducing Clinique A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins. Quite a mouthful, no? Six years in the making, this line is formulated to minimize skin sensitivity. And as we've come to expect from Clinique, it is Dermatologist tested and Ophthalmologist tested. In addition to a core lineup of twelve basic shades, they have launched nine LE polishes for Summer 2013. Let's take a look!

Dermelect ME "Fearless Beauty" Nail Polish by Fear No Beauty
Fear No Beauty's Karie Frost is one of my fave backstage buddies at NYFW. As the Beauty Director for Nail It! magazine and NAILPRO, she's an industry vet yet she never puts on airs. She's just a chill, sweet chick with a bold eye for color and beauty. All the amazing nail looks on the Nailpro and Nail It! covers? Karie dreamt up the concepts.
It's no wonder that my pal, Celebrity Manicurist and Dermelect Creative Director, Elle, wanted to collaborate with Karie for the Dermelect ME Summer 2013 nail polish collection, appropriately named Fearless Beauty. Karie's no holds barred approach to beauty empowers women to take a chance with their look.
"I see hundreds of new nail products cross my desk each year, and Dermelect really caught my eye," says Frost, who not only founded beauty blog FearNoBeauty.com, but has also worked for 12+ years on top nail industry magazine Nailpro and new consumer nail magazine Nail It!. "The science behind the nail treatments, and now the new ME lacquer colors, truly deliver stronger, longer nails—the perfect canvas for brilliant manicures. I wanted to bring brave new colors to the brand's ME lacquers—colors that will not only inspire women to take fun, fearless shade risks with their nails, but also feel confident while doing so."

Greer Smith: Curry expected to return for Duke against Georgia Tech
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski announced one piece of good news for the Blue Devil faithful on Monday,
The ankle injury that Seth Curry suffered in the closing minutes of the N.C, State game on Saturday isn't severe and that Curry will likely play against on Thursday when Duke plays host to Georgia Tech.
Curry went down with less than four minutes to play against the Wolfpack. He went to the locker room and didn't return.
"Seth's injury was a slight sprain to his left ankle," Krzyzewski said during a conference call. "There wasn't a lot of swelling after the game, and yesterday it looked pretty good."
Krzyzewski said Curry would not practice on Monday but that "unless something else happens, he will be available for Thursday."
The news concerning injured senior forward Ryan Kelly wasn't as rosy.
Kelly reinjured his foot last week against Clemson and was on crutches Saturday. Krzyzewski didn't say how long Kelly might be out.
"He was on crutches on Saturday and has been on crutches to relieve the load on his foot," Krzyzewski said. "We're hopefully he'll be back at some time. We don't want to put a time out there, where he's trying to compete against a time rather than. . .make sure we're taking care of an injury."
Another area of concern for Krzyzewski is the play of freshman Rasheed Sulaimon, who has been in shooting slump and had his worst night against State by going 0 for 10 from the field.
"Really since coming back after Christmas, he hasn't played well in all aspects of his game," Krzyzewski said. "He's played OK but he hasn't come close to playing the way he was. Sometimes, especially with a younger player, if the ball is not going in, it can have adverse effects on the rest of your game, and that may be what is happening with him.
"He's not finishing, And when you finish or get fouled, you have to be stronger so you can go to the line. Then you see the ball go in and it helps with your jump shot."
North Carolina does return to action until it plays host to Maryland on Saturday. The lack of a weeknight game serves as the Tar Heels open date during the ACC schedule and comes after they played their most complete game of the season in beating Florida State last Saturday, according to Roy Wiiliams.
"We made some shots, made some stops, rebounded the ball and got lucky," Williams said. "Florida State is a really good team. It's strange because last year we had a gifted team and lost by 33 down there and this year we were able to sneak in and score a couple more points than they did."
Williams thought improved rebounding was a big factor as the Tar Heels avoided starting 0-3 in the league.
"We've been rebounding pretty well, but I thought we needed to emphasize it even more so down there," Williams explained. "We did try to emphasize it for one day in practice and one meeting and talked it about it quite a bit.
"We were on the edge of the cliff, not the fiscal cliff everyone wa worried about, but we were on the edge. I think our guys had a much greater sense of urgency against Florida State than we've had in long time."
Another team suddenly trying to right the ship is Maryland, which suffered its second conference loss Sunday night and plays host to N.C. State on Wednesday.
One of the sore spots for the Terps is point guard.
"There's two area where we're not playing very well, point guard and (power forward)," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "It's not going to change overnight. It did change overnight from good to not so good but we are addressing it.. .Our point guard play hasn't been good enough. It's been pretty obvious the last two games. But a lot of areas haven't been. That's why we went 0-2."

At age 9, William Biron already has a hole-in-one under his belt.
Westmounter Daniel Biron calls his 9-year-old son 'Tiger William', and for good reason — the young golfer recently shot a hole-in-one!
The big event took place on the morning of Oct. 5 at the Shawbridge Golf Club, where father and son were playing a particularly difficult hole. "William used his Callaway fairway wood to reach the green," a proud Daniel recalls. "The ball bounced twice, then fell right into the hole. We could not believe our eyes. I was so happy for William that I took him in my arms and went 360 degrees a few times, congratulating him for what he had just accomplished. "William has been playing golf since he was three-and-a-half, and he loves it," Daniel said of his son, who has already participated in several tournaments around Quebec.
