Frequency Limits of InP-based Integrated Circuits
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 9 - 13
Cited by: Papers (9)We examine the limits in scaling of InP-based bipolar and field effect transistors for increased device bandwidth. With InP-based HBTs, emitter and base contact resistivities and IC thermal resistance are the major limits to increased device bandwidth; devices with 1-1.5 THz simultaneous ftau and fmax are feasible. Major challenges faced in developing either InGaAs HEMTs having THz cutoff frequencies or InGaAs-channel MOSFETs having drive current consistent with the 22 nm ITRS objectives include the low two-dimensional effective density of states and the high bound state energies in narrow quantum wells.

Extremely High gm> 2.2 S/mm and fT> 550 GHz in 30-nm Enhancement-Mode InP-HEMTs with Pt/Mo/Ti/Pt/Au Buried Gate
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 18 - 21
Cited by: Papers (5)We have successfully developed 30-nm enhancement-mode (E-mode) InGaAs/InAlAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with an extremely high transconductance (gm ) of 2.22 S/mm, a current gain cutoff frequency (fT) of 554 GHz, and a maximum oscillation frequency (fmax ) of 358 GHz. The excellent high-speed performance was obtained by using a Pt/Mo/ Ti/Pt/Au buried gate technology, which enabled E-mode operation for very short 30-nm HEMTs while maintaining a low access resistance as well as a low gate leakage current. The effectively short gate-to-channel distance suppressed the short channel effect, resulting in a very high gm independent of the gate length (Lg ) and a greatly reduced output conductance (gd).

Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 22 - 23
Cited by: Papers (4)We have recently developed a sub-50nm gate length InP HEMT (high electron mobility transistor) process with a peak transconductance of 2000 mS/mm at 1V. A 3-stage single-ended common source 150-220 GHz MMIC LNA demonstrates greater than 20 dB gain at 200 GHz (> 7 dB gain per stage) and is >5 dB higher LNA gain compared to the same MMIC design fabricated on our baselined 70 nm gate length InP HEMT MMIC process. To our knowledge, this is the highest amplifier gain per stage achieved at this frequency range. View full abstract»
50 nm MHEMT Technology for G- and H-Band MMICs
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 24 - 27
Cited by: Papers (42)A metamorphic HEMT (MHEMT) MMIC technology including circuit applications is presented. The MHEMT layers are MBE grown on 4-inch GaAs wafers. The technology is based on a 50 nm gate length MHEMT and includes a 50 mum substrate backside process with dry etched through-substrate vias. For the electron confinement an ln0.8Ga0.2As/ln0.53Ga0.47As composite channel was used. The devices are passivated with BCB and SiN to achieve a median time-to-failure of 2.7 times 106 h in air. Cut-off frequencies ft and fmax of 375 GHz were extrapolated for a 2 times 15 mum gate width device. Low-noise amplifiers with more than 15 dB gain in the frequency range from 192 GHz to 235 GHz were realized. View full abstract»
35-nm-Gate In0.7Ga0.3As/In0.52Al0.48As HEMT with 520-GHz fT
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 28 - 31
Cited by: Papers (1)We fabricated a 35-nm-gate In0.7Ga0.3As/In0.52Al0.48As high electron mobility transistor by using a simple, self-aligned one-step-recessed gate procedure. An extrinsic maximum transconductance (gm_max) of 1.7 S/mm and a current gain cutoff frequency (fT) of 520 GHz were achieved at room temperature. This significantly high fT was obtained by reducing the gate length to 35 nm and using an epitaxial structure with a 3-nm-thick InAlAs spacer layer, a 6-nm-thick InAlAs Schottky barrier layer and a 2-nm-thick InP etching stopper layer to decrease the gate-to-channel distance to 8 nm, and form simultaneously 50-nm-long side-recess structures and T-shaped gates stacked on the InAlAs Schottky barrier layer. These results are the first experimental achievement of fT as high as 520 GHz by using the one-step-recessed gate procedure. View full abstract»

Highly reliable operation of InGaAlAs/InGaAsP integrated lasers
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 39 - 42
Cited by: Patents (1)We present a novel concept of free integration of InGaAlAs-based and InGaAsP-based components on a single InP substrate for higher-performance long-wavelength opto-electronic devices. A butt-jointing process with in situ cleaning was used to obtain high-quality integration of InGaAlAs and InGaAsP components. Combinations of InGaAlAs lasers integrated with InGaAsP, and InGaAsP lasers integrated with InGaAlAs, were fabricated using this process. Aging tests on both types of lasers showed no significant degradation in their driving current. It can thus be concluded that the free integration of InGaAlAs and InGaAsP is promising for development of higher-performance devices for the next generation of optical communications applications.

The electrical isolation between the laser and power monitor sections has been realized by deep (3.8 mum) and narrow (500 nm) groove etching while moderately high optical transmittivity of about 95% and a very high isolation resistance of 60 MOmega have been achieved. Almost linear photocurrent output has been observed with increasing the optical output power. View full abstract»
Beyond CMOS: Logic Suitability of InGaAs HEMTs
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 51 - 54
Cited by: Papers (2)For over 30 years, Si CMOS scaling has brought along exponential improvements in chip density, speed and power consumption. With CMOS rapidly approaching fundamental limits, the "microelectronics revolution" is threatened. A way to reinvigorate logic technology is to introduce new channel materials with improved transport properties. In this, III-V compound semiconductors and, in particular, InGaAs with high InAs compositions are very promising. This paper reviews the merits and challenges of III-V's for logic applications. It also summarizes recent work of the authors in investigating the logic suitability of InGaAs HEMTs. View full abstract»

35nm InP HEMT for Millimeter and Sub-Millimeter Wave Applications
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 59 - 62
Cited by: Papers (4)A new InP HEMT process has been developed with 35nm gate length and improved Ohmic contact. A gate-source capacitance of 0.4pF/mm is achieved with the reduced gate length, a 30% improvement over our baseline 70nm device. The contact resistance is successfully reduced to 0.07 with the newly designed contact layer combined with an alloyed Au/Ge/Ni/Au Ohmic metal. Good device characteristics has been demonstrated with a transconductance as high as 2 S/mm and a cutoff frequency fr of 420GHz. A single-stage common-source amplifier was fabricated with this new process. A peak gain of 5dB is measured at 265GHz. A MAG/MSG of 3dB at 300GHz was achieved, making the device suitable for applications at frequencies well into the millimeter-wave and even sub-millimeter-wave band. View full abstract»

High-Gain Top-Illuminated Optoelectronic Integrated Receiver
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 77 - 80We present a monolithic photo-receiver based upon the InP/GalnAs HBT technology for optical communication at 1.55 mum. The photoreceiver consists of a top-illuminated photodiode and a transimpedance traveling wave amplifier. The same layers are used for the diodes and the base collector junction of the transistors. An advanced amplifier design, that achieves high bandwidth-to-fT ratio, expands the frequency response of the receiver over 40 GHz. The photoreceiver exhibits an optoelectronic gain of 100 V/W, amplifier bandwidth of 52 GHz, and optoelectronic bandwidth in excess of 46 GHz. The same receiver, when biased differently to optimize group delay, exhibits an optoelectronic gain of 64 V/W, amplifier bandwidth of 44 GHz, and optoelectronic bandwidth in excess of 43 GHz. These are the highest reported gains for receivers operating beyond 40 GHz. View full abstract»
Extremely low excess noise InAlAs avalanche photodiodes
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 81 - 83
Cited by: Papers (2)Excess noise factors < 4 at avalanche gain of 10 measured on a series of p+in+ InAlAs diodes with avalanche regions ranging from 0.11 mum to 2.53 mum. Extremely low excess noise, corresponding to effective ionization coefficient ratios, k, of 0.15 < k < 0.25, showed the potential of InAlAs as multiplication region for avalanche photodiodes. Breakdown voltage obtained from multiplication characteristics of these diodes showed a linear dependence of breakdown voltage on the avalanche width. Using tunnelling parameters derived from current-voltage measurements with the ionization coefficients and threshold energies derived from gain and excess noise measurements, our calculations showed that InAlAs avalanche photodiodes have sensitivities of ~28.8 dBm assuming a rather high pre-amplifier noise of 15 pAHz-1/2.

Mesa-type InGaAs pin PDs with InP-Passivation Structure Monolithically Integrated with Resistors and Capacitors with Large Capacitance
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 87 - 90
Cited by: Papers (2)We have successfully fabricated mesa-type InGaAs pin PDs with InP-passivation structure monolithically integrated with resistors and capacitors. As for the PD characteristics, the capacitance of 0.19 pF and the dark current of 0.2 nA at a reverse bias voltage of 5 V are obtained. By using the MIM/MIS stacked structure in the capacitors, a large capacitance of 91 pF is obtained on a chip area of 440 mum2. Although the capacitor is very large, it shows a good reliability and the estimated life time is 60 years at a bias voltage of 10 V and an ambient temperature of 125degC. The results promise the cost reduction and miniaturization of modules and systems for fiber optic communications. View full abstract»
Nonparabolic Valence Subband in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As Multi-Quantum Wells Using Transmission Spectroscopy
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 91 - 94
Cited by: Papers (1)Transimisson spectroscopy in lattice matched In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As multi-quantum wells (MQWs) structures were measured at some low temperatures. Steplike structures accentuated by the exciton peaks of interband transitions were observed in on transmission spectra. Energy of the three light hole transition was lower than one expected with calculation. The lower energy of the three light hole transition might suggest nonparabolicity of the light hole.

Strain Issues on Crystal Growth of Bulk InGaAs from GaAs Seed
Publication Year: 2007 , Page(s): 95 - 98Strain issues in bulk InxGa1-xAs crystals grown from GaAs seed have been investigated using Raman scattering and energy dispersive X-ray experiments. It has been found that there exists a large amount of residual strain in bulk InxGa1-xAs crystals grown by the traveling liquidus zone (TLZ) and multi-component zone melting (MCZM) methods. Using axially symmetrical strain model, strain distributions have been evaluated for various possible compositional profiles including the profile currently used in the MCZM method. It has been found that the residual strain can be reduced remarkably by changing the profile presently being used in this growth method. It is expected that high-quality bulk In0.3Ga0.7As crystal can be obtained by the TLZ method using In0.3Ga0.7As seed-crystal which may be prepared by the MCZM method following the profile suggested in the present study.

Genealogy in Rovito
If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Rovito, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Calabria and in Cosenza province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Rovito registrar as of that date. |
Before to start your genealogy research in Rovito, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Italy and in Rovito too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Rovito from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Rovito. As more your surname is common in Rovito, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Rovito archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Cosenza province are:
Aiello, Barone, Bruno, Caputo, Caruso, Chiappetta, De Luca, De Marco, De Rose, Esposito, Falcone, Ferraro, Filice, Fusaro, Gabriele, Gagliardi, Gallo, Garofalo, Gaudio, Gencarelli, Gentile, Giordano, Greco, Guido, Leone, Longo, Madeo, Marino, Martino, Mazzei, Morrone, Nicoletti, Nigro, Palermo, Perri, Perrone, Porco, Presta, Pugliese, Rizzo, Romano, Ruffolo, Russo, Salerno, Santoro, Spadafora, Sposato, Veltri.
Church archives in Cosenza province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Rovito and Cosenza province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in Reggio Calabria.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)
If you are interested to start or to continue your genealogy research in Rovito, or if you have questions regarding your family in Rovito, just leave a message below, we will answer you by email

Now that Parks and Recreation is off the air, it's time to pay tribute to the show that has made audiences laugh more over the past seven years than any other program on television. It had an unlikely climb to success, after a shaky first season with low ratings and mixed reviews from the critics.
But just like Leslie Knope herself, Parks and Recreation found a way to keep going and, after some minor retooling, was back on the air for the second season, better than ever. Since then, it's been a comedy juggernaut, never managing to become NBC's ratings darling, but steadily gaining viewers as people discovered the show on Netflix and realized just how hilarious it was.
The show lasted for an impressive seven seasons but alas, all good things must come to an end. It just aired its season finale earlier this week, »

Happy Thursday, Boys & Girls! Wait. Didn't we just give you a podcast yesterday? Aren't y'all lucky! It's a double-dose of Firewall & Iceberg this week. In this podcast, we have reviews of "House of Cards," "The Last Man on Earth," "Secrets and Lies" and "Battle Creek." One show we strongly endorse. Two shows we strongly reject. And the third? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. And then we had a few minutes, so we made fun of the Oscars a little. It's not the longest of podcasts, but combined with the 80 minutes we did on "Parks and Recreation" yesterday? Yeah. Seems sufficient. Here's today's breakdown: "House of Cards" (01:00 - 13:15) "The Last Man on Earth" (13:15 - 20:40) "Secrets and Lies" (20:45 - 31:35) "Battle Creek" (31:35 - 42:55) The Oscars (43:00 - 51:20) As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, »

But as we say goodbye to Leslie, Ron, and the rest of the gang, we also wanted to take a look at some of our favorite side characters through the years. Parks and Recreation has maybe the deepest bench of […]

This review was based off the first six episodes of season 3, which were provided to us prior to broadcast.
After two seasons of plotting and scheming to get what's owed to him, Frank Underwood spends the first few episodes of House of Cards' third season trying to pass an agenda that only he could give America: a proactive foreign policy and a vicious new jobs program that aims to roll back entitlements. Disagree with President Underwood? So long, you're off the team! Please don't make a scene as you leave the White House, we'll bring your things to you in the lobby. Hardball is fun when you're leader of the Free World, but even the President of the United States has his limitations, as Frank learns to his growing frustration.
House of Cards' third season truly owns the dark side of politics, and with Frank »

There's a version of this article that tries to argue that Chris Pratt is the secret Mvp of the Parks and Recreations universe, combing through all the previous hours of the series to show just how Pratt's performance as Andy Dwyer provided it energy and jokes that flushed out the show's comic tone better than almost any other character. The article would then end with an impassioned plea for Hollywood to take notice and not waste this clearly singular comic talent. That article doesn't exist because Chris Pratt did the unthinkable and went and made himself a big ol' movie star.
The notion that a relatively low-performing sitcom airing on broadcast television could have within its stable of stars two McU superheroes (Ant-Man, coming this summer) is relatively ridiculous, even given that one of those stars is Paul Rudd. But Chris Pratt has spent seven seasons »

[Press Release] Universal City, Calif., Feb. 25, 2015 -- Parks and Recreation, the hilarious fan-favorite comedy, is coming to an end after seven seasons on NBC. Luckily, audiences can continue to keep up with Leslie Knope (Golden Globe®-winner Amy Poehler) and the rest of the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana with Parks and Recreation: Season Seven and Parks and Recreation: The Complete Series. Both will be available to own on DVD on June 2, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. From Emmy® Award-winning producers Greg Daniels (The Office, King of the Hill) and Michael Schur (The Office, Saturday Night Live) comes the critically-acclaimed comedy Parks and Recreation, produced by Universal Television.

We wave a fond goodbye to one of the funniest, kindest sitcoms in recent memory, NBC's Parks And Recreation...
On Tuesday night America bade farewell to the people of Pawnee, Indiana for the last time as NBC sitcom Parks And Recreation reached the end of its seven-year run.
The final episode, One Last Ride, sees Leslie Knope unite with her former Parks Department colleagues to mend a broken swing, celebrating the good old days as each of the gang prepares to move on to the next stage in their lives. As the friends (or, as Ron puts it, 'workplace proximity associates') enjoy their last day together, we get a glimpse ahead at the future to learn what becomes of our beloved heroes (And Garry/Larry/Terry/Jerry).
If you were expecting something more explosive and dramatic for Parks' double-length finale, then you've probably been watching a different show for the last seven years. »

Hello, Vulture Readers, My apologies for the delay in responding to these thoughtful questions about the end of Parks and Rec. The answers were intended to go up much earlier, but the last week has been a little nuts, and a lot sad, and I couldn't answer them until today. Thank you for watching the show, and caring about the show, for the last six years. It's a rare thing, and the entire staff and crew were extremely aware of how lucky we were to have passionate fans who were invested in the work we were doing. Best,MikeEditor's note: The first two questions for Parks and Recreation co-creator Michael Schur are from the Vulture editors. The rest were submitted by readers. In 2011, Vulture credited Parks for pioneering a comedy of super-niceness. In ten years, how would you feel if that is how it were remembered? Is it a fair »

In honor of the Parks and Rec finale, Second City unearthed an old pilot that Amy Poehler made in 1995 alongside improv guru Del Close and fellow future famous person Adam McKay. It's called Rvtv, and it is very strange. Co-star Matt Dwyer tells Splitsider, "I honestly do not recall where the concept came from," and that really says it all. »

In this Office-style comedy, documentary cameras follow mid-level bureaucrat Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) in her job at the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana. She hopes to improve her town while advancing her career and helping her to ultimately become the first female President of the United States.
Leslie takes on what should be a fairly simple project; to help a local nurse, Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones), turn an abandoned construction pit into a community park. Ann has a personal interest in the project since her boyfriend, Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt), is a musician »

I cried during last night's Parks and Recreation finale because I'm not a monster. Of course I cried. Everyone lives so happily ever after! Leslie had such a great explanation of why one might want to have children! You could even hear Mouse Rat's greatest hits playing. Viva sincerity. That explains most of why I cried, but a tiny bit was residual crying from Parenthood's very similar flash-forward-oriented series finale a few weeks ago. If this becomes the go-to way for shows to end, that is more than fine by me.This device has been executed gracefully over the years. Six Feet Under is the high-water mark for this kind of finale, but showing how everyone dies only makes sense on a show about … well, how everyone dies. The West Wing put a slightly gentler spin on it, showing everyone several years into the future. They did it briefly, but »

SANTA Claus took on a different role from his traditional job and adjudicated over an Australian Idol-like talent quest at Burringbar Public School this week.
Although the North Pole resident shares certain physical attributes with Idol hitman Kyle Sandilands, Santa took a more positive approach and, rather than tear the performers apart, provided constructive feedback.
Performances included a keyboard playing transformer, lollipop ladies, dancing groups and a bush ballad boy among others.
Principal Helen Atkins said the school was proud of its academic and sporting excellence and could now add creative performances to this tradition.
"Burringbar Public School was awash with talented students from as young as five who skipped, shuffled, juggled and danced whilst being judged by a very special guest, Santa Claus," Mrs Atkins said.
The quest was divided into different sections and young Charlie Munro took out the junior individual contest while Cameron Tartan won the senior individual competition.
Dance group Party Rocks won the junior group contest and the senior group competition was won by another dance group called Hot Girls.
The school is now accepting enrolments for 2013 and bus travel from Pottsville, Crabbes Creek and Moobal is available.
For all enquiries please contact the school on (02) 6677 1469.

As many of you know, in a few weeks time, we'll be heading back to Japan for our second trip. I think half the Fodors Japanophile club is there too!
Our main train journeys will be from Tokyo to Kyoto, from Kobe to Kumamoto and from Hakata/Fukuoka back to Tokyo.
Q1: Am I best to book these train tickets now, and include reserved seating?
I can't quite get a handle for how important reserved seating is... On the plus side, we'll have seats together and no hassles about finding space. On the negative side, we'll be committed to a specific train time. Should I book tickets only and add reservations later or do it all now? I know it's a busy period.
Q2: Second question, what's the best way for me to make these bookings? Can I do so easily online (as an English language speaker only) or do I need to use an agent in my own country.
Thank you again,
Booking individual train tickets for Japan

As far as I know you can't book tickets online or outside of Japan - it is not like France or Spain where you can book online and save a lot of money. Unless you are traveling on a holiday, you should just be able to book same day or day before....that's what I do.....
Once you buy a reserved seat I don't know how you go about changing it, sorry.... -
Report Abuse
I would do the same as Mara.
Reserved seats can be changed until departure of the train. The seat fee for your trip from Kobe is 700 yen. From Hakata it is under 1400 (if I am reading hyperdia correctly).
What is your JR itinerary again?
Please list your train itinerary like this:
Day 1: Tokyo Kyoto
Day __: Kobe-Kumamoto
Day __: Hakata-Tokyo
Please fill in the blanks. -
Report Abuse
(if I am reading hyperdia correctly) ... meaning I thought it would be less. I consider 700 yen not much to lose.
Report Abuse
Day 2 Tokyo → Kyoto
Day 7 Kyoto → Osaka *
Day 8 Osaka → Kobe *
Day 10 Kobe → Kumamoto
And just remembered, we're flying back to Tokyo now as I booked those discounted flights from Fukuoka.
I figured we probably don't need to do anything in advance for the Kyoto → Osaka or Osaka → Kobe as those are frequently-running, short distance, local trains and we can just buy the ticket and hop on when we get there.
So it's actually just the two main journeys above.
As far as I can tell from Hyperdia, the Tokyo → Kyoto journey costs ¥7,980 for the ticket and ¥5,540 for the reserved seat.
And Shin-Kobe → Kumamoto is showing as ¥10,050 for the ticket and another ¥7,650 for a seat reservation? And the price is the same whether we take a direct service or whether we have to change at Hakata...
It's not a problem for me to pop into the various stations the day before to buy tickets, I just don't know how to check if a given train is likely to be sold out or not, and whether we need seat reservations or not. -
Report Abuse
I think we figured you didn't need a JR Pass on one of your other threads, but I wanted to check. Good thing because I can clear up some confusion about what hyperdia calls the "Seat Fee"
For Shin-Kobe to Kumamoto by one Sakura train this is what hyperdia shows (for October):
Total:¥ 17,900(Fare:¥ 10,050 Seat Fee:¥ 7,850)
Total:¥ 17,190(Fare:¥ 10,050 Seat Fee:¥ 7,140)
The difference is ¥710 which is what the actual reserved seat charge. The supplement is ¥7,140. The supplemnt aka limited express surcharge and applies to shinkansen as well as limited express trains.
By default, hyperdia shows the total with a reserved seat. To the right of each train line in the results, there is a drop-down where you can also choose green car or unreserved. That is how I got the unreserved price above.
Tokyo-Kyoto unreserved:
Total:¥ 12,710(Fare:¥ 7,980 Seat Fee:¥ 4,730)
Supplement is 4730. Reserved seat charge = ¥5,540 - ¥4730 = ¥810 (somehow it is 810, thought it would be 710)
The train won't be sold out. The unreserved cars could get full. I would probably buy the tickets with reserved seats for Kobe-Kumamoto a day in advance because it is not a terminal station like Tokyo or Hakata. -
Report Abuse
Oh I see, so the seat fee is mandatory if you want to sit down on the train? I had completely not understood at all. Thank you SO MUCH for clarifying.
And can I buy tickets for Kobe Kumamoto at any JR station, for example in Tokyo Station which is where we're staying our first night?
Thanks. -
Report Abuse
The supplement
seat feeis mandatory if you want to board and travelsit downon the train (where supplement = hyperdia seat fee minus reserved seat charge).
Yes, you can buy the K-K ticket in Tokyo. Get reserved seats.
Here is the timetable of trains from Shin-Kobe that get you all the way to Kumamoto without changing trains:
The Mizuho trains cost 300 yen more and save 17 or 18 minutes.
It is almost worthwhile to stop at Hakata just to get a couple of min-cinnamon roll. (and to shop for a Hakata doll, but you have this option later) The stand where the cinnamon rolls are sold is where I learned to put the cash in the little tray instead of handing it to the person. -
Report Abuse
As you may know from my posts, I'm headed to Japan in November. This will be our first trip to Japan. I have gotten so much help from the experts here. I laid out our train plans and got exceptionally helpful feedback. We intend to buy all of our train tickets one we arrive at Narita. Some of the advice I received on my thread may be helpful to you:

Manhattan Associates Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Adjusted EPS was $0.76, $0.09 better than our previous record set in Q3 of last year. Other important long-term strategic indicators were also quite positive. Our investments in research and development over the past few years are paying off as indicated by our continued strength versus our competitors.

Importantly, we won the big strategic deals and if you measure our win rate as a percent of dollars that we competed for, our win rate was about 80%. And to further support our sales momentum, implementations of our scope, supply chain process platform solution to -- continued to be quite successful.
Due to our strong first half results and a positive outlook for the balance of 2012, we are raising our EPS guidance for the year by about $0.10 a share.
In a separate announcement also released today, our board of directors set in motion a succession plan for Eddie Capel who will succeed Manhattan's CEO on January 1, 2013. The board and I have worked together over a number of years, developing a plan for a smooth transition of the CEO role. Eddie joined Manhattan's 12 years ago and has deep experience in all areas of our business. To help them prepare for the CEO role, he was appointed chief operating officer in January of 2011. In the COO role, most of the company reports to him. Eddie is very well prepared for this next step in his career. He and I will work closely together over the balance of the year to ensure a smooth handoff of responsibilities, and I'll remain on Manhattan Associates Board of Directors at least until next year's shareholder meeting.

The products and services offered now through direct selling include candles, décor, lingerie, phones, aging products, vitamins and scrapbooking. I've highlighted a couple interesting companies at the bottom of this article that provide something other than Tupperware and makeup.
More and more women who have recently been affected by corporate layoffs have turned to direct sales to earn extra money or supplement income loss due to unemployment. They are turning to direct sales to bring in extra cash, from jewelry to cookware to candles, and even scrapbooking! They host parties and demonstrate their products and even recruit others to sell. This option is attractive when you consider some of the positive benefits of running a direct sales business such as Avon, Mary Kay, Tupperware or PhotoMax.

Tourism in southern Africa is based on the region's wildlife and nature assets and is generally environmentally sustainable, but the extent to which it contributes to other aspects of sustainable development — overall income generation or poverty eradication — is less well explored. In this paper, we use social accounting matrices to compare the economic impacts of foreign tourism in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. Overall impacts on GDP range from 6% (South Africa) to 9% (Namibia). However, South Africa's economy is more diversified than its neighbours' and more of the goods and services used by tourists and by the tourism industry are supplied domestically. Consequently, the impact per Rand spent is considerably larger for South Africa than for Botswana or Namibia. The poorer segments of the population appear to receive shares of tourism income that are smaller than their share of overall income in all three countries.

Ohio Holds 212th Birthday Celebration At Statehouse
Ohio is celebrating its 212th birthday with special events at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
The U.S. Supreme Court has called off today's scheduled execution of convicted killer Kenneth Biros.
Prisons officials had prepared him for the execution scheduled at ten this morning. Six hours after that, the high court declined to hear the state's appeal of an order from a Cincinnati-based federal appeals court to delay the execution.
The wait was tough on relatives of the victim who traveled to the prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio.
Biros has acknowledged he killed 22-year-old Tami Engstrom in 1991. Her body was cut up and the parts scattered across eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
The court delay is to allow him to argue with other inmates in a lawsuit saying Ohio's method of execution by lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.

Sociomaterial research overcomes the dichotomy between social and material worlds by concentrating on organizational practices.

Noun.-One of the best guys on the face of the earth. Extremely smart, yet athletic, talented, and downright sexy. Is good at football, and will definatly marry a hot girl.
Kyle will play college football.

The most amazing guy in the world, he'd do anything to make his girl happy. He makes sure EVERY day would be perfectly amazing for her. He never fails to make her girl smile. He'd make her mad, then knows just how to make her smile too. He's the sweetest, he'd be happy when he sees you happy. He'd wait for you for the longest time even after knowing all your flaws. He still calls you perfect after yelling at him from PMS. He'd kiss you on your forehead in the most random times, hugs you unexpectedly, and tell you you're beautiful at your worst. He has no idea how much a girl can love him, but for sure, he knows what he's doing. This guy, it's just a miracle to meet someone like him. You can barely find a guy who'd love you after knowing everything about you. Once you find someone like him, never let go of him. He's full of surprises, you'd get excited for the next time you'd meet him. When you're together, time flies so fast, because every moment is just amazing with him. He calls you perfect but he just never knows, he's the perfect one. I'd like to say more but he's mad right now. For not telling him what I'm doing. So for now, that's it. Kyle simply means amazing and perfect.
Miki loves Kyle.
Kyle is perfect.
Miki will never let go of Kyle.
Kyle is perfect.

A guy you meet in middle school and end up falling in love with right away. He can easily win any girl's heart but destroy it without realizing it. He is modest and cocky when it comes to his appearance and athletic abilities. He can be a flirt. He can have mood swings and make hurtful jokes without realizing it. In the end, he's an unpredictable guy. You want to hate him, but you just can't.

A handsome, intellectual King. He is admirable, respectable you name it. With a big heart for the people he loves Kyle makes an extraordinary giver. Physically he is thin yet built like a warrior, with smooth tan skin and black hair that feels good when you run your hands through it. Kyle has a sexy ass pair of eyes that are seductively mysterious.. penetrating you from any distance possibly telling you something yet nothing at all. Kyle's smile and laugh is extremely infectious. Kyle generally has two sides to him, the first very serious, confident, peaceful but poised, a skillful and unbeatable fighter, sometimes seems void of emotion and cold, dark and mysterious, god-like, and VERY competitive. On the contrary his more private side is refreshing, loving and sweet, possessing a boyish charm that makes you feel beautiful in every way, listening patiently, and strives to understand things above and beyond him when it comes to a woman's wants. Kyle has a heart of gold and is the best friend you could ever have in this world. He worries a lot when you're not with him and he can get jealous at times. Kyle is a very sensual lover he likes to touch, taste, and feel. He is fun and adventurous not always favoring traditional ways of things. Extremely playful and loves to be naughty;) He exceeds effortlessly beyond all expectations and loves to be and is the very best.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has bowed out of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., this month, her spokesman Bill McAllister confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.
Palin, considered the top draw at the Feb. 26-28 event, reportedly will be busy heading the state's legislative session and won't be able to fit the conservative confab into her schedule.
"We're obviously disappointed," a CPAC official told USNews.com.
Palin, the GOP's 2008 vice presidential candidate and future presidential hopeful, was expected to address attendees on the opening day of CPAC. Instead, she will send a taped message, her office confirmed.
CPAC is the largest annual gathering of conservative activists, policymakers, and students. The presidential straw poll at the event is widely viewed as a reliable bellwether of conservative support.
Palin, who recently launched SarahPAC to help raise money for other conservative candidates and cultivate a national network of supporters, is reportedly still eyeing a run for higher office, and CPAC would have put her in the spotlight, many GOP observers believe.
Other big hitters scheduled to take the stage include an array of conservative icons and politicians, including Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, John Bolton, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Michael Steele, John Cornyn, Jim DeMint, John Boehner, Glenn Beck, Tim Pawlenty, Bill Bennet, and Phyllis Schlafly.

Stevie Shears (born 1954/1955)[3] is an English musician known for playing in the rock bands Tiger Lily and Ultravox! (later Ultravox), alongside electronic musician John Foxx.
Tiger Lily and Ultravox![edit]
Working in a paint factory[4] and playing in different bands[5] in Dagenham, Essex, he made contact with John Foxx and formed Tiger Lily in 1973 (together with bassist Chris Cross). Later, Tiger Lily changed its name to Ultravox! (later known simply as Ultravox). Between February and March 1978,[6][7] after releasing with this band the Ultravox! (early 1977) and Ha! Ha! Ha! (1977) albums. Bandmate Warren Cann stated that Shears was dropped, as he was seen as a limiting factor for the progress of the band, being replaced by Robin Simon.[8]
Post-Ultravox! bands[edit]
After Ultravox!, Shears formed a band with his friend Ice, real name Roland Oxland, bassist of Gloria Mundi. Gloria Mundi and Ultravox! were friends from the UK live music scene. Gloria Mundi featured Eddie Maelov and Sunshine Patterson who, as Eddie & Sunshine, would support Ultravox on their 1981 Rage In Eden tour. Gloria Mundi's saxophonist CC also played on 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' from Ultravox's second album Ha! Ha! Ha! (1977). Later Shears and Jason Guy formed a duo called New Men. This was short lived as Shears left to join Cowboys International, in early 1980, replacing Adam Ant's guitarist Marco Pirroni. In 1981 and with Cowboys International dissolved, he collaborated with the band's singer, Ken Lockie, on his solo album, The Possible.
Shears never having lost contact with Guy, collaborated under the name of Faith Global, and released an EP called Earth Report (1982) and an album called The Same Mistakes (1983) both on Survival Records. Faith Global was short lived, and these two records remain their only recordings.
As of 2000, he was still playing guitar.[9]
When Ultravox! was Tiger Lily, he used a Gibson guitar.[10]
During his time with John Foxx and the rest of Ultravox, he played a white Fender Telecaster and a Fender Stratocaster.[11]
With Tiger Lily:
- Ain't Misbehavin' single (Gull, 1975)
With Ultravox!:
- Ultravox! album (Island, 1977)
- Ha!-Ha-!Ha! album (Island, 1977)
- Retro EP (Island, 1978)
With Cowboys International:
- Revisited compilation (Pnuma, 2003)
With Ken Lockie:
- The Impossible album (Virgin, 1981)
- Dance House single
With Faith Global:
- Earth Report EP (Survival, 1982)
- The Same Mistakes album (Survival, 1983)
