Fictional character biography[edit]
Arnim Zola was a Swiss biochemist during World War II who became one of the first human genetic engineers in history after finding papers and equipment used by the offshoot race of humanity, the Deviants. He finds a ready home among the Nazi party, who see his actions as the ability to ensure the existence of a master race.
One of his first accomplishments is the creation of a brain pattern imprinting device, which allows a person's mental essence to be projected into a cloned brain. Zola uses this machine on Adolf Hitler, creating the Hate-Monger.[1]
The Red Skull also financed some of Zola's experiments, allowing him to produce such creations as Primus, Doughboy, and Man-Fish in the jungles of Central America.[2] During one such experiment Zola collected humans from the rubble of New York City after the devastation caused by the being known as Onslaught. Zola endowed a teenager with superpowers, creating the hero known as Jolt, who brought the Thunderbolts to stop him.[3]
As part of another experiment, he collected the DNA of Basilisk I, Ben and May Parker, Bird-Man II, Bucky, Cheetah, Cyclone, Gwen Stacy, Kangaroo I, Mirage, Porcupine I, Red Raven, Ringer, 5 of the Salem's Seven, Turner D. Century, and Whizzer and then used them to create Proto-Husks that were destroyed by Deadpool.[4]
A copy of Zola, who had been impersonating Professor Walsh who was Brian Braddock's mentor, dies at Meggan's hands.[5]
During the X-Men: Endangered Species storyline, Arnim Zola was among the nine supervillain geniuses recruited by Beast to help him reverse the effects of Decimation.[6]
In the aftermath of the Superhuman Civil War, Zola joins the Red Skull in his newest attempt to kill Captain America, which succeeds. Afterwards, while the Skull is busy with his plans to control America with a puppet government, Zola attempts to reverse-engineer a mysterious device given to him by Doctor Doom, as well as craft a device that will separate the Skull's consciousness from the mind of Aleksander Lukin, which was the result of misuse of the Cosmic Cube. He manages to unlock the device's secrets and has a brainwashed Sharon Carter hooked up to it. However, she breaks off the connection, just as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents storm the base. Zola quickly transfers the Skull out of Lukin but his body is destroyed by the Grand Director. The Skull is stuck in one of Zola's robot bodies.[7]
Stuck in a computer somewhere, Zola is located by Norman Osborn. He informs Osborn, the current director of H.A.M.M.E.R., that Captain America is locked in space and time on the date of his supposed death. Doom's machine was meant to bring him back for an unknown purpose but because of Sharon, he has become unstuck in time, causing him to relive the events of World War II.[8] By the time Arnim Zola had rebuilt the machine in Castle Doom, Sharon Carter was brought to him so that he could transfer the Red Skull's mind into her body.[9]
Eventually, Captain America finds Zola hiding in an alternate dimension, Dimension Z, where time moves at an incredibly faster rate as compared to Earth, and Zola has built a massive fortress where he is making a massive army of genetically altered soldiers with the intent of conquering Earth. In the initial assault, Cap rescues a genetically engineered infant boy (Zola's son, Leopold). In the decade stranded in Dimension Z, Cap raises the boy as his own son, Ian. The two take up with the peaceful Phrox, and eventually lead a rebellion to stop Zola's forces, now commanded by Zola's daughter, Jet Black. Ian is later captured by Zola, and brainwashed to accept Zola as his father again, but eventually broke out of his control, only to be shot by Sharon Carter. Eventually, Carter sacrifices herself to destroy Zola and his fortress, allowing Cap and a now reformed Jet to escape back to Earth, where relatively only seconds have passed since his arrival in Dimension Z a decade earlier.[10]
During the AXIS storyline, Red Skull tells Arnim Zola that everything is in place on his end. Zola is confronted by his daughter Jet Zola who refuses to return to her father's side. Falcon sneak attacks Zola. Ian finds and frees Sharon Carter, only to learn that Zola has a bomb strong enough to destroy all of New York City. Falcon removes the telepathic antenna on Zola's body to stop him from controlling the bomb, but it only sets it to activate. Falcon takes the bomb high into the sky above New York before it goes off.[11]
Arnim Zola 4.2.3[edit]
A flawed copy of Arnim Zola's consciousness in a robot body is recruited by the Shadow Council. He faces the Secret Avengers who are investigating the Shadow Council's mining operations inside of a "bad continuum" (a malformed reality). Although he is defeated by the Secret Avengers, his fate afterwards is unknown.[12]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Arnim Zola has no natural superpowers, but he is a scientific genius specializing in genetics and cloning. He is not only capable of creating exact clone copies of his "clients," he has also created monsters which are conditioned to do his bidding.
Zola's most noticeable feat was performed upon himself. He constructed a specially-modified body which lacks a head. Instead, Zola's face is located—via holographic projection—on his chest, and atop his shoulders is an ESP Box, a psychotronic device which he uses to exert his control over his monster creations. In a limited effect, the Box can also be used as an offensive weapon.
Whenever his body is damaged or utterly destroyed, Arnim is able to send his personality to another one stored elsewhere, thus giving himself a form of immortality.[13]
Other versions[edit]
In 2007 Arnim Zola appeared in Ultimates Annual # 2, written by Charlie Huston. Just like his Earth-616 incarnation he was also a Nazi biochemist. His role in World War II was to make a cadre of special master race troops so as to serve as Adolf Hitler's bodyguards.[14] Captain America was able to infiltrate Arnim Zola's facility and kill his first experimental monster, which Zola dubbed "Siegsoldat" ("Victory soldier"). The experiment's dead body then fell on Arnim Zola, seemingly killing him.[14] Zola did not die and the O.S.S. rescued him so as to harvest his intellect on the post-war super soldier program. Later they mapped his brain and created an artificial intelligence out of it before the tumors he had could degrade his mind.[14]
A short time before the Liberators attacked the United States,[15] a white survivalist group called the Marauders attacked the military base where Arnim Zola's AI was being held and stole it, along with some other weaponry. Arnim Zola was then able to convince the leader of the Marauders to allow Zola to commence experiments on him. Zola mutated the man until he was approximately 20-foot (6.1 m) tall and installed armor plating (and Zola's AI brain) on him with a hologram of Zola projected from the chest and was called Uber-Siegsoldat. He then took over the Marauders and got them to gather people for his experiments. Captain America and the Falcon were sent after him and were able to defeat him by freeing the people he had kidnapped, who promptly tore apart his body, whereupon Captain America collapsed a support strut onto the Zola AI.[14]
A young, apparently fully human named Arnim Zola III appeared in Ultimate Mystery, as a member of Roxxon's brain trust.[16]

- Toby Jones portrays Arnim Zola in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe movie series produced by Marvel Studios.
- First appearing in Captain America: The First Avenger, Zola is a Hydra scientist who helped the Red Skull harness the Tesseract's power. Later captured by Captain America, Zola is forced to reveal the location of the Red Skull's base.
- As revealed in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Zola took advantage of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Operation Paperclip to create a new incarnation of Hydra that slowly takes over the organization. Having also experimented on Bucky prior, Zola personally oversees the young man's transformation into the Winter Soldier. Suffering a terminal illness in 1972, Zola had his consciousness transferred into a '70s era supercomputer located in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in New Jersey. From there, Zola masterminded S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Project Insight" as a means to identify and target potential threats to Hydra's interests. Zola reveals all of this to Captain America and Black Widow when they find the supercomputer housing his consciousness, stalling them in a sacrificial attempt to kill them with a missile sent by his Hydra allies. Zola's death is ultimately meaningless when Captain America and his allies foil "Project Insight" and expose Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D., effectively leading to the agency's downfall.

Wild winds to be chased by cold
Heavy winds brought this tree down on top of utility lines on Arah Street in Manchester Thursday morning. The road has been closed. (David Lane/Union Leader)
About 5,000 residents and businesses across the state lost power Wednesday morning, the result of heavy rain and gusty winds downing trees and damaging power lines.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the Pemigewasset River in Woodstock after an ice jam formed. The Weather Service said that once the ice jam breaks, the water will rise rapidly downstream, and people who live in flood-prone areas along the river should remain vigilant.
The Sugar River in Claremont flooded twice because of ice flow jams, prompting the fire department to ask the residents of a few homes near the river to leave their homes temporarily, Fire Capt. Tom Belaire said. Belaire said a firefighter was assigned to stay at the river overnight Thursday to monitor it.
"The water levels have dropped back to normal at this point," he said Thursday night. "But obviously, with the ice, it's very unpredictable."
About 7 a.m. Thursday, Public Service of New Hampshire reported 2,265 of its customers had lost power, while Unitil, with service concentrated on the Seacoast, had 2,087 customers without power. Power outages affected 1,017 New Hampshire Electric Co-op customers, while Liberty Utilities reported 20 customers were in the dark.
Most of the PSNH customers who lost power were in Londonderry and Laconia, while most of Unitil's customers who lost power were in Exeter.
About 900 NHEC customers lost power after a tree collapsed onto wires and broke two utility poles along Gilmanton Road in Barnstead around 8 a.m., according to NHEC Spokesman Seth Wheeler.
Wheeler said NHEC's largest outage is affecting about 2,300 homes and businesses in the towns of Andover, Salisbury, Wilmot, Sutton, Danbury and Grafton.
In Durham, high winds felled a tree near the Madbury substation late Thursday morning, causing 900 Durham residents to lose power. According to an email from town administrator Todd Selig, PSNH has dispatched two crews to restore power to this section of town. The town will stay in contact with PSNH over the course of the day.
Power outages were reported in New Hampton and Gilmanton Thursday morning. Gilmanton officials reported several trees down in that town.
Temperatures in some parts of the state reached the low 60s on Thursday, but Eric Sinsabaugh, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said temperatures will plummet today and through the weekend.
"Colder air is making its way in as we speak," he said at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. "The main word for the next few days is 'cold'; Back to the freeze."

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) -- A former Army recruiter has been sentenced to three life sentences without the possibility of parole in the deaths of a Manchester mother and her two young sons.
WKRN-TV reported that Matthew Perkins pleaded guilty Monday to murder charges for the September 2010 deaths of Stephanie Hershman and her sons, 3-year-old Jathan and 1-year-old Jaylon.
Prosecutors had been seeking the death penalty, but the district attorney general's office said in a statement that they accepted the plea agreement based on uncertainties about whether a jury would unanimously impose the death penalty.
Prosecutors said the victims' family members approved the plea agreement.
Investigators have said they found the three bodies stuffed in trash bags inside a bedroom closet of Hershman's home.

I think I am going to plan on wearing a white shirt (barrel cuffs, pointed collar), but haven't decided yet on footwear or tie.
One of these is the suit, don't remember what color it is:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
If I recall correctly it is the lighter, so probably the latter one. Does anyone have recommendations for ties or shoes? I was thinking either a navy silk knit or raw silk tie and possibly my AE MacNeils , but they may be a bit to casual.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Alternatively, I could consider a cotton bow tie (think I have a blue/white gingham) with a white OCBD.
Thanks for any opinions in advance.

daniel franco
Member since
I am 5'8'' 140 pounds. i wear a size 31x32 in jeans. A medium shirt usually fits me nice but is too short and comes down a few inches above my hip, so i usually wear a large.
what size should i buy in the dapper stone suit?
also, i was wondering which would be the better buy?....the charcoal heather OR the all black suit.
Member since
Get a medium. The pants will be long but everything else will fit nice. I'd go for the black, it's classic.

Hey Guys-
Putting together a 3bbl, direct fired LP system this week (like you do) and am still undecided on burners. I'm a big fan of the MONSTER burner over at Tejass Smokers (http://www.tejassmokers.com/castironburners.htm, about 2/3 of the way down), mostly because I know it works, but I'm still wondering about other burners.
I have more volume to heat than Mike did (original thread: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/big-...mended-154886/) and found the (somewhat cheaper) 44 and 88 (!) jet burners, which I didn't know existed. I don't know about their BTU ratings, which are often wildly over stated, but Glacier Tanks cautions you to mount them 12-14 inches below the pots to avoid MELTING THE POTS (wtf?). I don't want the system to be any taller than it needs to be, and I'm also concerned about burning through propane unnecessarily.
A few other concerns: heat deflected downward onto the floor (doesn't seem to be a problem with the Tejass burner- Hess's is mounted VERY low to the ground) and plumbing them. Can I plumb different burners (For MLT And HLT) into the same manifold as long as everything's high-pressure? Can I even provide enough gas to have multiple burners going at once?
Thanks in advance, BTU badasses!
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!
twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
Yikes, not even one reply after 67 views. Should this maybe get moved to the DIY forum?
Call Cheyenne at Tejas smokers. He was very helpful setting up my 2bbl system.
1x 32 jet (boil) and 2x 20 jets(mt and hlt). All with pilots. (Yay for lighting once and walking away!)
Thanks- how did you set them up? Just a manifold with a ball valve? How long does it take you to heat your strike water and how long does it take to hit a boil? Theoretically (and it is just a theory) the big 225kbtu cast iron burner should be able to bring a 3bbl batch up to a boil in about half an hour, and then could be dialed back after that. Not sure it's got the juice though, but I guess I could always just add a second one under the BK.
That's awesome- would love to see more of your system. Waiting to hear back from Tejass.
Hey guys, I have found that when I put my bottles in a a water bath the icing issue goes away. For the twin 100's since they're a little unruly you might put them in a garbage can full of water and then rig up some kind of external tank support to keep them from tipping over.
hope this helps.

Tonight on "It's Real Talk Radio", the crew will be discussing if women are indeed better cheaters than men. This has been a very debatable discussion and continues to be. Men are known for being the obvious cheaters who tend to get busted rather easily verses women who are more known for being clever cheaters and very good at fooling their companions into thinking they're as innocent as a toddler.
Fortunately, there are some men who are clever enough to catch onto the signs and bust their woman dead in her tracks to expose the fact that not only men cheat. That being said, the question still remains: Are women better cheaters? Well to find out what the crew thinks, tune in by listening online or via phone by dialing 347-838-9540 and as always, dial 1 if you have a question or comment you'd like to add to the discussion.

Army ground robotics has been a strategic research and development focus for well over 20 years. In the past 10 years, over 8,000 robotic systems (at its peak in 2010) have been fielded in Southwest Asia. This figure is impressive, especially when you consider that in 2004 it required 5 separate vendors to provide 162 robots for only a few select missions. Currently, these systems are used for a variety of critical combat activities but mobile robots are rarely (if ever) used state-side for CONUS operations. In addition, as much as robots have contributed to the Warfighters success in various scenarios (most notably in EOD activities in Iraq and Afghanistan), the primary mode of operation of our current robot fleet is still either Remote Control or Tele-Operation. This is in stark contrast to the intelligent navigation capabilities being shown at our leading universities and other robot OEMs. So where is the disconnect?
This talk will focus on addressing this very question from various points of view; including new efforts to heavily leverage commercial automotive S&T to facilitate robotics on military bases and installations, and to segment the potential robotics mission work-space into 2 simple classifications of environmental features and human intent of the indigenous population. This will lead to some interesting findings in the minimum barriers of technology entry and whether or not advanced autonomy is really needed at all.

NASDAQ Paper: 'What Do Journalists Want?'
Last week NASDAQ's Corporate Solutions group and Ragan Communications published a white paper titled "What Journalists Want" that outlines general trends in PR/writer relations.
Much of the paper concerns points that seem basic but may be easily forgotten: maintain and regularly update your contact list, pitch infographics whenever possible, include embed codes with all videos, send mobile-friendly content, etc.
Professors and scribes offer always-relevant advice like "send useful materials to writers even if it doesn't concern your client" (an idea we support 115%) and "be specific and direct with email subject lines, using the word 'you' to directly address the recipient."
These are all useful tips, but they're also familiar to most veterans of the media relations practice.
On that note, we spoke to Mike Piispanen, VP of PR solutions at NASDAQ OMX, to get some additional thoughts on the paper.

Servotronics, Inc. Announces Second Quarter And Six Month Results For The Periods Ended June 30, 2013
ELMA, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVT) reported an 80% increase in net income to $504,000 (or $0.22 per share Basic and Diluted) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to net income of $280,000 (or $0.13 per share Basic and Diluted) for the comparable period ended June 30, 2012. Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $681,000 (or $0.30 per share Basic and Diluted) as compared to net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 of $349,000 (or $0.17 per share Basic, $0.16 per share Diluted), which represents an approximate 95% increase in net income.
The Company attributes the increase in net income primarily to the previously reported strategic focus on core competencies that led to the 2012 sale of certain underperforming assets and shutdown of certain operations at the subsidiary level. Servotronics continues to strategically position itself through the design and development of new products for new applications/programs across a multitude of industries.
Revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $8,067,000 compared to revenue from continuing operations of $7,719,000 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2012. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increased commercial sales at both the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and Consumer Products Group (CPG). Comparable revenue from continuing operations for the same six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $15,409,000 and $15,786,000 respectively.
The Company is composed of two groups – the ATG and the CPG. The ATG primarily designs, develops and manufactures servo controls and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, manufacturing equipment, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, pocket knives, machetes and combat knives, survival, sporting, agricultural knives and other edged products for both commercial and government applications.

The arctic
... forgot to mention that it is still an unseasonable 86 degrees today - for 3 or 4 hours on the border between Sweden and Norway. Apparently, there are signal problems in Norway and all rail traffic is at a standstill. It is hot and uncomfortable. And, all we have eaten today (after toast for breakfast) is a bag of Doritos and two nearly rotten pears. But, the good news is that we can get off the train and drink from a stream ...
The long muddy road to Sweden
... and so took a trip to see.
This was the old Kiruna station which has only closed within weeks. The main door was locked and a note on the window said "if you want a room please call this number". I tried the number but as I don't know the code for Sweden it would not work.
I wandered about taking photos of the old buildings and station area. Machines were busy lifting the track and smashing up the platforms.
While wandering about here ...
Staying in the ICEHotel!
... to our room. Once we navigated our way into the sleeping bag we quickly discovered that your face and nose, which sticks out of the sleeping bag for the purpose of breathing, were freezing! The bed was very hard and we were both relieved when morning finally came and we were able to have a hot cup of Lingonberry juice before heading back to Kiruna airport. Stockholm, here we come! Love, Tom and Emma ...
Warming up in Swedish Lapland
... face, you certainly get the sleigh attached as quick possible. Per was as health and safety conscious as ever-"just hold the rope and don't fall off". Sound advice for a creature than can run up to 70kph, faster than a horse. Needless to say, within 5 minutes of setting off our reindeer has veered off the path and was up to his neck in snow. Slowly he struggled back onto the path and the rest of the journey went by without any problems, and that pretty much concluded our trip ...
Dog Sledding
... at the Old Homestead again tonight a lovely 15 minute walk from the hotel and then we are sleeping in our ice room. Tomorrow we are up early and after breakfast we head to the airport and fly back to Copenhagen and then bus over to Malmo for Christmas dinner. The tournament starts on December 26...hopefully the boys are ready....I am sure the 550 Canadians on this trip will be!!

Headline Awaited, reads the Indiab Express front page
During this week's blockbuster Indian election, @shubhragupta caught a great photo of the Indian Express for the day, which was rushed to press so quickly that its lead banner still read HEADLINE AWAITED. Every time I see something like this, I thank the universe that I work in a forgiving electronic medium where mistakes can be swiftly corrected and not committed to millions of stamped-out pieces of stupid, inert matter.
Update: Amulya writes, "Just so you know, it's The IndiaN Express, so you want to correct that first on your forgiving electronic medium. Secondly, context matters -- the headline was a funny meta statement on the election verdict to come, and made perfect sense to those who read it."

UK Sunday paper won't review books marketed "to exclude either sex"
Writing under the rallying cry "Gender-specific books demean all our children," Katy Guest announces that the Independent on Sunday -- one of the UK's great weekend papers -- will no longer review any books that are marketed to "exclude either sex." It's tied to the Let Toys Be Toys/Let Books Be Books campaign, which petitions companies to stop tying their products to specific gender-identities. Guest characterises the segregation of products by gender as a means of "convincing children that boys and girls can't play with each other's stuff, is forcing parents to buy twice as much stuff."
I remember being surprised when someone told me that Little Brother was a "boy book." Yes, its protagonist is a boy, but every protagonist has to have some kind of gender identity, and it's a weird world when we're only allowed to read fiction in which the lead character has the same gender identity as us. I once co-wrote a novella whose major characters are galaxy-spanning AI hiveminds -- it would have a rather small audience by that standard.
Good on the Independent on Sunday for this!

Video of the ritual destruction of a Guardian laptop with the Snowden leaks, as ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron
Remember when UK Prime Minister David Cameron ordered government officials to go to the offices of the Guardian in London and demand the symbolic destruction of a laptop with the Edward Snowden leaks on it? It was a bizarre kind of high-tech exorcism, a bizarre ritual in which one of many, many copies of the Snowden documents were ritually destroyed, because, in the Prime Minister's words, "We've had enough debate about them."
The Guardian has posted a video of the exorcism, showing how the stern officials oversaw the piece-by-piece systematic destruction of the machine. It's not embeddable, but it's a remarkable piece of footage that you should really go and watch.

890 word Daily Mail immigrant panic story contains 13 vile lies
The Daily Mail is an awful, racist, hard-right UK newspaper, notorious for scare stories (see, for example, this exhaustive index of things that the Fail claims will give you cancer) and generally terrible reporting.
But even in amidst all that notorious history of deceit and hate, the Mail attained something of a new low recently, with its "reporting" on the supposed wave of Bulgarian and Romanian immigrants. According to the Mail, these people were poised to invade the UK on January 1, 2014, when those countries' EU membership would entitle their citizens travel throughout the EU and seek work without visas.
Jon Danzig, an investigative BBC journalist, plucked one of the many such stories out of the paper's pages, a mere 890 words' worth, and, with the help of a colleague in Romania, found 13 lies. He pressed the Mail to substantiate its story, and, failing to receive a satisfactory reply, he filed a formal complaint with the Press Complaints Commission.
The Mail's xenophobic campaign against Bulgarians and Romanians has been instrumental in shifting both Labour and the Tories to adopting inhumane policies, in order to pander to people who've been terrorised into a false belief that somehow migrants are coming to both take away British jobs and collect benefits (that is, to work and not work simultaneously).

David Cameron threatens injunction against the Guardian to stop further Snowden leak publications
UK prime minister David Cameron has threatened to get a court order against the Guardian if it continues to publish the Snowden leaks. He accused the Guardian of having a "lah-di-dah, airy-fairy view" about the dangers of leaks, and said the if the paper didn't voluntarily censor itself out of a sense of "social responsibility" he would seek court injunctions against it.
The majority of the Snowden leaks have revealed crimes -- illegal spying, lying to Congress and Parliament, violation of international law. That these crimes were committed with the knowledge and approval of the highest levels of the US and UK government doesn't make them any less criminal. And what wasn't criminal was absolutely depraved in its indifference to the public good: for example, the UK government's Edgehill programme, which, with the US government's Bullrun program, sabotaged the security of software, hardware and cryptographic standards to the tune of USD250M/year.
There is nothing more cowardly and corrupt than a lawbreaking political leader who threatens the free press when they call him to account. I never liked Cameron, but with this, he's taken the Tories beyond their reputation of being "the nasty party" and turned them into full-blown Stalinists.

David Cameron vows vengeance on the Guardian for Snowden leaks

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to punish the Guardian for publishing leaks about the campaigns of lawless, reckless spying by GCHQ and the NSA. He's asked Parliament to find a legal rubric for cracking down on newspapers that publish stories of compelling public-interest such as the Snowden leaks. He made a bizarre accusation that the Guardian's cooperation in the destruction of its computers (made under dire threat) was an admission of guilt.

Intel's Earnings Beat: What Wall Street's Saying
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Intel (INTC) beat Wall Street's first-quarter earnings estimate on Tuesday, lifted by growth in its data center business and signs of improvement in the PC market.
Analysts focused plenty of attention on Intel's gross margin in a flurry of notes released on Wednesday morning. The company's gross margin came in at 59.7%, down from 62% in the prior quarter, but up from 56.2% in the same period last year. Intel also delivered second-quarter gross margin guidance between 61% and 65% and raised its full-year guidance by 1 percentage point to 61%, plus or minus a few percentage points.
Jefferies raised its Intel price target to $35 from $32 on Wednesday, citing the chip giant's gross margin strength.
Shares of Intel rose 0.97% to $27.03 in early trading.Intel's server business continues to perform well - revenue from its Data Center Group was $3.1 billion during the first quarter, a year-over-year hike of 11%. The company's PC Client Group was $7.9 billion, down 1% compared to the same period last year, although CEO Brian Krzanich pointed noted that unit volumes were up year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter. "Even as challenges remain in the consumer client segment, we saw continued improvement in enterprise clients, driven by increasing form factor innovation and refresh," he said, during Intel's earnings conference call. Revenue from Intel's Mobile and Communications Group, however, was $156 million, down 61% year-over-year. Excluding items, Intel earned 38 cents a share on net income of $1.9 billion, down from 40 cents a share and net income of $2 billion in the same period last year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 37 cents a share. The semiconductor giant reported revenue of $12.8 billion, up from $12.58 billion in the prior year's quarter, but below analysts' estimate of $12.81 billion.
Analyst sentiment towards Intel was generally positive following the company's results. Here's what a few of them had to say:
Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis (Buy, $35 Price Target) "The (consensus) bear view is that INTC gross margins and revenues must decline as it moves down market into tablets and low-end notebooks. That view ignores Moore Stress - in INTC's case, its ability to stay on the transistor cost curve while its competitors stall translates to better gross margin and share gain. In 1Q14, GM increased by 350bps and revenues increased by 1.5% YoY. We are $0.22 and $0.47 above consensus for '14 and '15. INTC remains our top pick." Credit Suisse analyst J.Pitzer (Outperform, $30 Price Target) "To date, stock performance has been as much about the Bears losing steam as the Bulls gaining momentum - structurally improving manufacturing efficiencies has continued to allow INTC to outperform a lackluster PC market, posting GM upside yet again even as inventory levels declined to C3Q09 lows. PC revenue guide was 'good enough' but not 'too good' as to give Bears 'an issue,' and PC mix (ASP down 1% q/q) continues to refute a structural ASP collapse but hardly characterizes PC demand overly dependent on Corporate/WinXP EOL." J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Danely (Overweight) "Stabilizing PC demand and higher gross margins drive above-consensus EPS and guidance. Reit OW.Yesterday after the close, Intel reported above-Consensus 1Q14 EPS and raised 2014 gross margin guidance driven by lower than expected costs. We are maintaining our above-Consensus EPS estimates and remain Overweight INTC as the reasons we upgraded the stock remain intact: upside to Consensus estimates driven by stability in the PC market and improved guidance and spending."

This was a very funny show. The actors did a great job and the audience laughed the entire show.
Laugh Out Loud Theater, the place for improv comedy in Chicago's northwest suburbs, is changing its weekend lineup with the debut of The Ha-Ha-Holiday Show, a night of fully-improvised holiday hilarity, a gift that you won't have to return later!
Laugh Out Loud's first-class improvisers will make up comedy on the spot, asking the audience for suggestions to inspire short improvised scenes, only with holiday games and themes woven throughout. Watch Santa guess what the actors want for Christmas, or sing along with an improvised carol about the worst presents you've ever received. You provide the inspiration, the actors provide the laughs to get you through the end of the year with your family. Or at least the end of the night.
"Our ensemble is incredibly funny," says Laugh Out Loud owner Lillie Frances. "They really make you forget the travel, the shopping, and the hassle of the holidays, and focus instead on what really matters: making it to January."

Linus's Law
There are two statements named Linus's Law: one by Eric S. Raymond concerning software bug detection by a community, and the other by Linus Torvalds about the motivations of programmers.
By Eric Raymond[edit]
Linus's Law as described by Raymond is a claim about software development, named in honor of Linus Torvalds and formulated by Raymond in his essay and book "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" (1999).[1][2] The law states that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"; or more formally: "Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix will be obvious to someone." Presenting the code to multiple developers with the purpose of reaching consensus about its acceptance is a simple form of software reviewing. Researchers and practitioners have repeatedly shown the effectiveness of various types of reviewing process in finding bugs and security issues,[3] and also that reviews may be more efficient than testing.
In Facts and Fallacies about Software Engineering, Robert Glass refers to the law as a "mantra" of the open source movement, but calls it a fallacy due to the lack of supporting evidence and because research has indicated that the rate at which additional bugs are uncovered does not scale linearly with the number of reviewers; rather, there is a small maximum number of useful reviewers, between two and four, and additional reviewers above this number uncover bugs at a much lower rate.[4] While closed-source practitioners also promote stringent, independent code analysis during a software project's development, they focus on in-depth review by a few and not primarily the number of "eyeballs".[5][6]
As the Heartbleed bug shows, even shallow bugs[7] may persist in important pieces of open software—it took two years for the bug to be discovered, and the OpenSSL library containing it is used by millions of servers. Raymond said that in the case of Heartbleed, "there weren't any eyeballs".[8]
By Linus Torvalds[edit]
In the book The Hacker Ethic and the Spirit of the Information Age (2001), Torvalds introduces his law in the prologue "What Makes Hackers Tick? a.k.a. Linus's Law", suggesting that every motivation that makes a person do something can be classified under "survival", "social life" or "entertainment".[9] As a result, he writes, progress is defined as reaching a higher category; that is, not doing a thing merely for survival, but for social reasons, and then, even better, just for fun.

Exhibiting either extreme administrative loyalty or just plain denial, Vice President Dick Cheney reiterated that there was a definite link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime on Rush Limbaugh's radio show Thursday—the same day a newly released Defense Department report cast further doubt on that connection.
Washington Post:
Captured Iraqi documents and intelligence interrogations of Saddam Hussein and two former aides "all confirmed" that Hussein's regime was not directly cooperating with al-Qaeda before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, according to a declassified Defense Department report released [Thursday].
The declassified version of the report, by acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble, also contains new details about the intelligence community's prewar consensus that the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda figures had only limited contacts, and about its judgments that reports of deeper links were based on dubious or unconfirmed information. The report had been released in summary form in February.

Armenian oligarch is very upset
08:44, 15.03.2012
'"I am very sad, in a very bad mood that my friend doesn't want to run,' the businessman said to Yerkir, and added that all day yesterday [Wednesday] he [tried to] convince his friend to change his mind, but to no avail. [And] In response to the observation that now he is alone in the NA [National Assembly], Aleksanyan partly agreed, and noted it is not that he is left alone, but 'Hayrapetyan was another [type of] friend,'" Yerkir writes.
