Regional College
See campus listings below for each office contact information.
The Regional College comprises a network of seven distinct campuses within Kent State University. Three of them—the Ashtabula, East Liverpool and Salem campuses—are named for the cities in which they are located. The remaining four—the Geauga, Stark, Trumbull and Tuscarawas campuses—are named for their counties and are located near the cities of Burton, Canton, Warren and New Philadelphia, respectively.
As part of the Kent State University system, all of the Regional Campuses are accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission and are members of the North Central Association. Some associate degree programs also have earned specialized accreditation (see specific programs for their accrediting body).
The mission of the Regional College is to make the resources of the 27th largest university in the country accessible to the citizens of Northeast Ohio. The Regional College is also charged with the task of delivering a wide variety of area-specific technical education and training to the communities it serves. Finally, delivering programs and services that enhance business and employment opportunities in a time of economic transition is an integral part of the mission of the Regional College. It carries out this mission through the efforts of a faculty committed to the highest standards in the scholarships of discovery, integration, application, teaching and university citizenship. Faculty members actively pursue a variety of creative endeavors, regularly contribute to the scholarship in their disciplines, take pride in their continuing pedagogical successes, and are recognized by the wider University community with teaching and professional development awards. Regional campus faculty are visible citizens in the communities they serve, as well as at every level of university governance.
The Regional Campuses have an open enrollment policy and an expanding post-secondary enrollment option program. Many are "nontraditional" students: people returning to the classroom after having begun or raised a family; manufacturing and business workers in need of retraining in the face of economic change; bright, motivated young students earning college credit while still in high school; and for the "traditional" student, the Regional Campuses offer the first and second years of coursework leading to the bachelor's degree in numerous programs.
Each of the Regional Campuses—Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem, Stark, Trumbull and Tuscarawas—is an integral part of the community it serves, whether through the promotion of fine arts and humanities, the extensive offering of continuing education courses and programs, the enhancement of primary and secondary education, the development of carefully crafted associate degree programs, the offering of selected upper-division and graduate coursework, a wide variety of partnerships with business and industry, the leadership in the development of distance learning technology, or as a first step—close to home—toward the goal of a four-year baccalaureate at Kent State University. The Regional College is itself an integral part of Kent State, advancing the mission of the university by delivering its programs and services throughout Northeast Ohio.

Each Regional Campus provides a number of student services. One of the most important services is providing information about financial aid and scholarships. For students who qualify, a number of financial aid opportunities are available, including the Federal Perkins Loan, the Ohio Instructional Grant Program, the Federal Pell Grant Program and other special aid programs. Financial help may also be available through the Federal College Work-Study Program or through other part-time job opportunities. Local employers often seek part-time help through Regional Campus offices. While each campus has scholarship funds available, the amount and number of scholarships and the requirements for them vary considerably. All of the campuses have funds available for short-term loans. Because of the variety in number and character of these programs, it is suggested that interested students contact the financial aid advisor of the campus they wish to attend.
Other student services at the Regional Campuses include pre-admission counseling, academic advising, child care and career counseling. An important feature of the Regional College is a commitment to help students become successful. Many students enter directly from high school, while others combine full-time jobs and families with classwork. Success in college depends largely upon skills in reading, studying, mathematics and composition.
Basic Skills Assessment: Free testing is required of all students to assess learning skills. This information is used by students and advisors to determine the best course placement for academic success. If testing shows the need for additional preparation in reading, studying, mathematics or composition, support courses are available to meet these needs and will be required.
Support Services: These services include peer tutors, who are available for certain courses, and special assistance in writing, reading and mathematics. Also available are skill development centers, learning centers and workshops in writing.
Advising: Regional Campuses consider advising to be an essential component in student success. Professional staff provide general advising, while faculty have primary responsibility for major advising.
Cost: Because the university is state-supported, fees are adjusted to provide quality education at the lowest possible cost. One important advantage to students attending a Regional Campus is that they can live at home, thus saving room and board expenses.
Student Accessibility Services: The Regional College is committed to providing equal access to students with disabilities. Each campus has a student disability coordinator who works with students to identify appropriate academic accommodations and support services to foster success at the university. Services for students with disabilities are determined by appropriate educational, medical and/or psychological documentation provided by the student. After documentation is reviewed and the disability is verified, students receive a letter of accommodations to present to instructors, and instructors then will know how best to work with students to meet their individual needs. If students are requesting accommodations, it is suggested that they contact the student disability coordinator on the campus they plan to attend at least two months prior to enrollment so that accommodations can be in place at the beginning of the semester. Contact the student disability coordinator for more information.
Associate degrees are awarded for the successful completion of 61 or more semester hours of coursework. They are designed to fulfill two major purposes: to permit students to complete the freshman and sophomore years of a baccalaureate program; or to prepare them for immediate employment in a technology field. While associate degrees are awarded after the successful completion of at least 61 semester hours, it should be noted that most programs actually require additional hours to complete. Students who are studying part time should expect to take more than two years to complete their programs.
The Associate of Arts is awarded to students who successfully complete a minimum of 61 semester hours toward the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Business Administration, the Bachelor of General Studies or the Bachelor of Music degrees. The degree can become the foundation for baccalaureate programs. Students in the degree must fulfill the 36-hour Kent Core.
The Associate of Science is awarded to students who successfully complete a minimum of 61 semester hours toward a Bachelor of Science degree. The degree can become the foundation for baccalaureate programs. Students in the degree must fulfill the 36-hour Kent Core.
The Associate of Applied Business is awarded to students who successfully complete prescribed coursework in any of the following business technology programs: accounting technology, business management technology, computer technology or information technology for administrative professionals. Students in the degree are expected to choose their general studies courses from the Kent Core. All exceptions must be approved by the students' academic advisor. The availability of specific Kent Core courses varies by campus. Many credits earned in a technical associate degree program are also applicable to bachelor's degrees both at Kent State and at other colleges and universities. Which credits apply depend upon the associate degree earned and the bachelor's degree toward which students wish to work. Working closely with an advisor is strongly suggested as students explore options for majors and plan their schedules.
The Associate of Applied Science is awarded to students who successfully complete prescribed coursework in any of the following environmental, health or engineering technology-related programs: aviation maintenance technology; computer design, animation and game design; early childhood education technology; electrical/electronic engineering technology; engineering of information technology; environmental technology; horticulture technology; human services technology; legal assisting; manufacturing engineering technology; mechanical engineering (integrated manufacturing) technology; nursing; occupational therapy assistant technology; physical therapist assistant technology; radiologic technology; respiratory therapy technology; systems/industrial engineering technology; and veterinary technology. Students in the degree are expected to choose their general studies courses from the Kent Core. All exceptions must be approved by the students' academic advisor. The availability of specific Kent Core courses varies by campus.
The Associate of Technical Study is open to students who need a specially designed course of study in a technical field. It consists of courses offered at the students' campus that suit the students' career goals. Degree programs must be planned with the assistance of a faculty advisor. The program consists of a minimum 61 semester hours of coursework, including the Destination Kent State: First Year Experience course. At least 30 hours are "technical core" courses that offer education central to students' career goals. At least 15 hours must consist of basic courses that provide background to the technical core; at least 15 hours must be selected from the Kent Core. The degree program should not exceed 73 hours. Degree programs must be approved by the faculty advisor, the campus dean and the Regional College dean. At least 32 hours must be completed after approval of the written degree program proposal.
The Associate of Technical Study may be conferred as a concurrent degree or after receiving a prior degree. At least 24 hours of coursework must be completed after approval of the program, and the program must include at least 24 hours of work in addition to the prior or concurrent degree. Forms for developing an ATS program proposal can be obtained at any Regional Campus student services office.
Degree-Category A: This degree requires a minimum of 61 credit hours selected in consultation with an academic advisor from existing courses at that campus. The program permits students to develop a curriculum based on specific career objectives that are not served by existing degree programs.
Degree-Category B: This degree provides associate degree-level completion based on a technical certificate or other formal technical training program acquired outside Kent State University. Programs available are the following: allied health management technology; diagnostic medical sonography; emergency medical services technology; environment management; industrial trades technology; nuclear medicine technology; radiation therapy technology; and radiologic technology.
Options in Technical Programs: Some business and engineering technology programs have different options from which students can choose. While options provide students with opportunities for focused study, not all options possible within a program are offered at all campuses. Students should check with an advisor to see what program options are available at the campus they are attending.
Each Regional Campus offers programs designed to complete the freshman and sophomore years of most of the bachelor's degrees offered by Kent State. The intention of such programs is to provide students interested in eventually obtaining a four-year degree the opportunity of remaining at home while beginning their degree. It is expected that such students eventually will complete their degree at a Regional Campus, transition to the Kent Campus or transfer to another baccalaureate-granting institution to complete the degree. Some baccalaureate programs may be completed at each Regional Campus. See the GPS website for baccalaureate offerings per campus. Completion of the freshman and sophomore years of a baccalaureate program leads to the award of the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree.
Several baccalaureate programs at Kent State University often can be completed with approximately two years of additional full-time study after completion of an associate degree. Some course selections leading to associate degrees are more applicable than others as components of the bachelor's degrees, and exact requirements for additional study vary. Students interested in baccalaureate completion programs should see an advisor at the earliest possible date.
The Regional College awards approved certificates to students who successfully complete a course of study designed to meet a specific need. These programs consist of a minimum of 15 credit hours and a maximum of 30. Some certificate programs articulate fully or in part with associate degrees. Students wishing to participate in certificate programs must meet the standards set forth in the university admissions policy, except where a program has been designed for a group with unique needs, such as a contract training group. Students already enrolled at Kent State must declare their intent to pursue a certificate before completing 50 percent of the courses required. Courses completed pass/fail or through Credit-By-Examination will not count toward completion of the certificate requirements. If a student already has completed a program requirement by pass/fail or Credit-By-Examination, an alternative requirement will be designated.
To successfully earn a certificate, students must achieve a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA in the courses required for the following programs: child and family advocacy, computer forensics and information security, database administrator, legal nurse consulting/nurse paralegal, solutions developer and systems engineer. Students enrolled in the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.75. All other certificates require a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 in the courses required for the programs.

Harry Verhaar, Philips, to talk about the LED revolution live on Twitter
- Date
- 24 April 2012
LONDON: On May 10, 2012, Harry Verhaar, Senior Director Energy & Climate Change, Philips, will be live on Twitter to answer your questions on the LED Revolution, following the series launch on May 1.
And your questions couldn't come at a more critical moment in time.
The scale-up of LED (light-emitting diode) technology is key to the Clean Revolution we so urgently need. Because in order to achieve sustainable prosperity for our planet's rapidly growing population, we need a revolution in the way we produce and consume energy. One of the most effective ways we will do this is by making lighting more energy efficient.
Flipping the switch to low carbon LEDs will lower global emissions. Currently lighting accounts for nearly 6% of global CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, or 1,900 million tons of CO2 per year, which is the equivalent of CO2 emissions from 70% of the world's passenger vehicles. We can make a considerable dent in carbon emissions if we upscale LED lighting.
Philips is a market leader in energy efficient lighting solutions, and Harry Verhaar, Senior Director Energy & Climate Change, Philips Lighting, is ready to answer your questions and share his ideas on exactly how - and why - we can make an LED Revolution happen. Heading up the global Energy Efficiency program (also called 'Green Switch') at Philips, Harry has helped phase out old lighting technologies for street-lighting, industry lighting and residential lighting across the world, generating global support from governments and organizations including Australia, South Africa, the European Commission and the International Energy Agency.
The live Twitter session with Harry will take place from 3-4pm GMT on Thursday May 10, 2012, as part of our Twitter Q&A series which is running in May and June, and aims to build momentum on topics that will be the focus at Rio+20 Earth Summit.
To take part, all you need to do is log-in to Twitter and head to @ClimateGroup at 3pm GMT on May 10. We will introduce the topic and Harry will share his views. You will then be invited to direct your questions to him – so start planning and tweeting your questions now. Just be sure to include the hashtag #CleanRevolution, to make sure he doesn't miss your question.
After the session ends, you will find a summary highlighting the key points from the debate here on TheClimateGroup.org. For now, you can read up on LED lighting here.
Add the 3pm GMT, May 10 event to your Outlook/Google calendars and follow our guests now:
Head over to the @PhilipsLight and @ClimateGroup Twitter accounts. Start asking questions now using the hashtag #CleanRevolution on Twitter!
If you, your company, or sub-national government would like to be featured as a future guest to help put the Clean Revolution into action, tweet us at The @ClimateGroup now.

When you create a JSF page using the dialog, you can specify whether or not components on the page are exposed in a managed bean, to allow programmatic manipulation of the UI components. By default components are not exposed to managed beans. If you wish to bind components to managed beans, expand the Page Implementation section in the Create JSF Page dialog, then select one of the automatic binding options.
In the example, you will choose not to use automatic component binding.
If you choose to automatically expose UI components in a managed bean, JDeveloper automatically creates a backing bean for any new JSF page that you create. When you drop a component on the page, JDeveloper inserts a bean property for each component, and uses the
binding attribute to bind component instances to those properties, allowing the bean to accept and return component instances.
For example, if you drop a command button onto a page that uses automatic component binding, JDeveloper will add the following property code in the backing bean source file:
public void setCommandButton1(RichCommandButton commandButton1) {
this.commandButton1 = commandButton1;
public RichCommandButton getCommandButton1() {
return commandButton1;
And in the page, the command button is automatically bound to the property in the backing bean using code similar to the following, where the name of the page is
home.jspx, and the backing bean name is
<af:commandButton text="commandButton 1"
If you choose not to let JDeveloper use automatic component binding, you can use the Property Inspector to manually bind any component on the page. For example, if you insert an input text component, click the dropdown menu at the end of the component's Binding field in the Property Inspector and choose Edit to open the Edit Property dialog.
In the Edit Property dialog, you can create a managed bean for the page if one does not already exist, and you can also create a new bean property for the component.

From Norse to Gaelic, Dalmore means 'the big meadowland' referring the fertile
Black Isle located on the opposite side of the distillery.
With over 160 years of existence in the art of whisky-making, Dalmore's Highland
malt whisky is recognized as one of the finest distilleries in the world. To
enrich the rich taste of Dalmore, the malts used for brewing the fine liquor are
fermented in oak wooden casks for as long as 21 long years. With subtle
transformation, the malt tends to emit an orange, healthier aroma with subtle
hints of smoke.
To find more you simply have to follow your nose and taste it with the help of
Richard Paterson's tasting notes. The pure water of River Alness is used to
produce the Dalmore and it's because of the wholesomeness of the river many
other Highland malt whiskies of Scotland have set up their production lines
along the banks.
The Dalmore offers 26 unusually distinct aromas with a choice of flavor from
chocolate and spice. Each of these exceptional malts has its own unique
character and has bagged numerous prestigious awards.
Established in 1810, the name of JURA's single malts is inspired from the
'Island of JURA' described as one of the most 'un-getable places' by English
writer George Orwell because of its distant location in London. The serenity of
the location contributes to the unique blending process where whisky not only
absorbs the flavors of the wood, but also the island's sea breeze passing over
the porous walls of barrels. Often the smallest of factors can affect the
balance of flavors in whisky.
Jura, as they say is an island rich in history, myths and superstitions and the
legacy dates back to 8000 years ago where the pre-historic graveyard at
Kilearnadil was said to be the resting place of a saint.
For true whisky enthusiasts a visit to the distillery is the major attraction.
The island of Jura may be hard to get to, but those who have been there will
find it even harder to leave. The fastest route from London involves changing a
couple of flights and then a ferry.
After winning numerous awards in its category JURA's single malt is
distinguished for its subtle flavors world over.
Established on the docks of Glasgow in 1844, the brand was named after two
founders, James Whyte and Charles Mackay.
The finest whisky Whyte and Mackay is proud of its Glasgow roots to produce the
rich flavor by combining the best of 35 selected malts in Scotland. The brand
has always believed in the philosophy of good things comes to those who wait,
and that's how Whyte and Mackay had been known for using the unique 'double
marriage process' in blending their whisky which not only guarantees a smooth,
mellow and distinctive character but ensures every drop of Whyte & Mackay
tasting as good as the first. There is an old saying which goes something like
this "You Can't Hurry Love." The simple meaning of the saying signifies the
double marriage process.
At 12 years old, when other producers bottle their aged blends, Whyte & MacKay's
Master Blender brings together the finest malt whiskies, then returns them to
sherry casks to marry for another year of loving union. At 13 years old, the
second marriage takes place, when the finest grain whiskies are introduced to
this blend of malts to create the masterpiece that is THE THIRTEEN.
There are 3 different variants of scotch whisky based on the period of
maturation, viz.
Whyte and Mackay 'The Thirteen' (13 year old blended scotch whisky)
Whyte and Mackay 19 Years Old Blend (19 year old blended 'premium' scotch
Whyte and Mackay 22 Years Old ('Rare' edition blended scotch whisky)

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsAugust 7, 2013
A majority of schools reported an increase in on-campus activity for full-time positions compared with the same time period last spring, according to the latest research by the M.B.A. Career Services & Employer Alliance (formerly the M.B.A. Career Services Council).
According to results of M.B.A. CSEA's Spring 2013 Recruiting Trends Survey, both on-campus recruiting activity and full-time job postings have increased over last year for most schools worldwide.
Forty-eight percent of survey respondents report an increase in on-campus recruiting for full-time jobs, while 68 percent report an increase in postings for full-time jobs.
Increases in recruiting activity are occurring across most sectors, with technology and energy showing the largest increase. Financial services and government showed the largest decrease in full-time recruiting activity, similar to the pattern indicated in the previous year's survey. When looking at recruiting activity by company type, start-ups saw the largest increase in activity (57 percent).
Overall, schools are optimistic about internship hiring, with 70 percent of respondents seeing an increase in internship postings.

Panama City Beach - This week's Golden Apple award winner is a reading specialist at Arnold High School in Panama City Beach. Nine times out of ten Golden Apple winners are nominated by students or parents, but this week is unique. Alexis Underwood was nominated by a fellow teacher who says her passion inspires students and colleagues alike.
"I teach the most important thing in the world, reading. Reading is the essential skill for any level of academic reasoning, anything that these children want to accomplish in life, they key that unlocks any door is being able to read," said Alexis Underwood.
Previously in insurance sales, Mrs. Underwood has been teaching intensive reading at Arnold for 7 years. But it's not just students she is teaching. When fellow reading specialist Katie Hair started at Arnold halfway through the school year, she would have felt overwhelmed...if not for Mrs. Underwood. "Alexis came in during Christmas break, made copies, helped me get my room set up, she has been so helpful," said Hair. "As a leader in the school district and a leader in my union that is what we do as professionals, if we don't demonstrate the values that we want our profession to have, then we are not doing our job as educators," said Mrs. Underwood.
Students say her confidence in them makes them want to work harder. "She is always happy and motivates you to do her work," said 10th grader Blair Buckner. "They see her passion for education and it shines through in her instruction," said Arnold High School Principal Keith Bland. "It's not about test scores, its about effort, it's about being willing to try, if they are willing to walk with me all year long, we will achieve our goals, it's inevitable," said Mrs. Underwood.
"She is an amazing teacher and I am glad she won this award," said 10th grader Mario Lobo.

Researchers do not know all of the functions of the prostate gland. However, it is known that the prostate gland plays an important role in both sexual function and urinary function. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages, and it is likely that, as a man, you may encounter some type of prostate problem in your lifetime.
Many clinical problems associated with the prostate gland are quite common and may happen to men of all ages. This includes prostatism, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), impotence, and urinary incontinence.
Cancer of the prostate is a common and serious health concern. In 2008, according to the American Cancer Society, 186,320 men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is the most common form of cancer of men over age 50, and the second leading cause of death from cancer.
What can you do to protect yourself? Catch prostate problems early when there is a better chance of successful treatment. Be sure to have prostate screening examinations annually at the appropriate ages.

Modex 2012: New show opens for business with focus on the supply chain
MHIA chairman Dave Young, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and MHIA CEO George Prest welcome attendees to the first-ever Modex show.
February 06, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Following a formal ribbon cutting, Modex 2012 opened for business at 10 a.m. yesterday. Atlanta, it turns out, is an ideal location for a new show bringing together all of the components and players in the supply chain, from the materials and information handling solution providers we're used to seeing at ProMat and the old NA show, to logistics and transportation providers and supply chain thought leaders.
"Before it was known as Atlanta, this city was called Terminus," said Mayor Kasim Reed during his welcoming remarks. "We were the intersection for all of the railroads serving the South. Today, we are still at the crossroads of logistics, with one of the busiest airports in the country and the fastest-growing port on the Eastern seaboard. Atlanta cares about what you do."
Similar sentiments were expressed by Dave Young, chairman of the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), the sponsor of the show. "When it comes to uncovering those big ideas, products and people that will make all the difference in moving your business forward, Modex is the place to find them," Young said.
What then can you expect to see as you walk the show floor? The concept behind the event is to bring together industry leaders that can deliver one-of-a-kind insight into the overall supply chain, and not just one segment, in one location.
"You are welcome in this city," said Reed before he cut the ribbon. "We are rolling out the red carpet for this important event."
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

Clip+ Locking up on database refresh
So I've been having a problem for several versions of Rockbox now (since 3.10, 3.11 maybe?) wherein my Clip+ locks up after refreshing the database.
When I've added new music, I then wait for the disk access icon to disappear before I reboot the Clip+ to get the "Committing Database 1/9" display or whatever it is. If I manually shut down the Clip+, it locks up on the "Shutting down..." screen. If I leave it to shut off automatically, the display turns on and then the Clip+ locks up showing the most recently used menu screen. In both these cases, the device does not respond to any inputs, but if I hold the power buttons for ~15 seconds it will finally turn off; when I push the power button again the device boots and functions normally.
There just seems to be something going on when the database refresh finishes that's causing everything to hang, and like I said I haven't always had this problem. Been using Rockbox on the Clip+ since either just before or just after it entered "stable" status, and aside from the version upgrades I've made no major system changes (swapped microSD cards, etc.) that could contribute to this behavior. I can't say for sure, but I also feel like this problem appeared a while after upgrading Rockbox, so it doesn't seem to be immediately related to moving to a new version.
Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks!
|[Remove Advertisement]
Did you tried to remove DB files?
I haven't; I was wondering if there is some way of forcefully re-creating the database from scratch, but since I haven't poked around too much with Rockbox's innards I wasn't sure if I could do it without possibly borking my installation.
Which files are okay to delete?
You don't say which build you're using now. There's been changes made since the older builds you mention that have the database work much better than it did then.
There's no need to manually delete old database files if you use the Initialize function of the database to update. That wipes out the older database files and starts you off fresh.
The first thing to do is to update to the current development build, initialize the database and see if the problem persists. I usually use a relatively recent development build and don't have any problems with the database unless I use autoupdate. That creates duplicate entries in the database for me.
One last thing, if you save the .rockbox folder that's at the root of your current setup it can always be put back if you don't like the results of an update. Despite what some think a Rockbox installation doesn't break that easily and can usually be repaired by just copying a new build to the root of the player. If there's a setting that's causing a problem deleting the .cfg file or having a set of known good settings saved as a .cfg and "playing" that usually fixes most problems.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently using the stable release of 3.13, and I just realized I had auto-update turned on. I've disabled it and initialized the database in the menu, and the problem seems to have gone away. I'll keep tabs on it.
Regarding the current development build, is there much reason for a non-tester to run that versus the latest stable build? Aside from the freezing issue, I've had no other problems with just using the latest stable release when it comes out.
And thanks for the hint about the .rockbox folder; I'll definitely be doing that each time I try a new version (although if I understand correctly, the Rockbox Utility can also back up the previous version when installing a new one, right?).
I usually use a recent dev build but each person should use whatever build they prefer. If you ever have an issue with the release version and check in at the Rockbox forums the standard advice will be to update to the dev build. If there was a bug that was filed and fixed the fix will be in the dev build not the release. The dev build is frozen and bug fixes aren't back ported.
To me the "stable" Release represents code that sometimes hasn't been updated in months vs. all the updates http://www.rockbox.org/since-release.html that have been done since the Release was built. I've very rarely had an issue with a dev build and have frequently found useful features that took quite a while to make it into the Release version.
The automated installer can create backups but I find a simple copy/paste of the .rockbox folder to be much simpler and quicker. By the time I light up the installer I can have created the backup manually with no need to connect to a PC. I just use the context menu to create a folder and move the files right on the player. Knowing how to do that let's me test drive a build or fix an issue if I don't like a feature a new build brings.
How each person deals with Rockbox is a matter of preference. I've never found that there's a right or wrong way to do that. I have a fair amount of experience setting it up in a way that works best for me. Part of that has been trying different ways that aren't always included in the manual. Sometimes it's worked, other times it's brought about some real WTF!!! moments. You'll want to work out what works best for you.

Welcome to ABi
This post outlines the steps gsl took to resolve their issue.
Rockbox developers don't wait to until a Release to add and update code. That means if you have the dev build immediately before the Release you have everything that's in the release. That dev build won't perform any better or worse than the release. Most often when I've checked the release notes I've had the features that are listed there as part of what I've been using for months.
The database improvements I mentioned was one of those. I noted that it was mentioned in the since 4 weeks http://www.rockbox.org/since-4weeks.html and updated. i found thae improvements to be dramatic and added using the database to my routine. I would have missed using those improvements for several weeks if I had waited.
Once again, everyone should use what makes them most comfortable. Using the dev build and knowing how to easily revert to another known good build is what works for me. I have a folder on my players holding the build I prefer and just copy/paste it over the one I want to change. That lets me test drive builds and not lose my settings. If someone else prefers to wait until a build listed as stable comes along and only update then they should. I'm just not fond of waiting for improvements I could be enjoying now when it's so easy to make nearly risk free improvements that only take a few minutes.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
When you update the database manually in Rockbox on the Clip+ it does it in the background. How do you know when it is finished updating?
Updating the database causes disk activity. The disk icon lights up when the disk is active. When the database refresh is finished the disk activity icon turns off.
You could also go into System=>Debug(Keep Out!)=>View Database Info and check the database status there. I don't worry about the keep out warning. I've found there's are a few things you can change in there but any changes I've made have reverted whenever I rebooted. The rest is just info that might be useful if you know how to use it for troubleshooting.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I don't recall seeing any disk icon on my Clip+ or Clip Zip. Do only some themes display it?
The icon is theme and screen specific. In the default Cabbie V2 theme on the Clips it looks like a lightning bolt with an arrow in the right hand corner of the status bar. If you disable the status bar it won't be visible. Other themes will have it in different places using different icons and frequently not show it at all in the WPS.
It also lights up when files are being transferred or read when connected to a PC. It changes to a AC plug symbol when it's a charge only connection.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I'm using the runner theme on my Clip+ and Clip Zip. I guess it isn't displayed.
I guess I should try checking the System=>Debug(Keep Out!)=>View Database next time. There is some interesting information in the player debug menu, such as the month when the player was made, and the flash memory speed(my Clip+ and Clip Zip say 25 Megabit/sec, around 3.12 MB/sec.

Is there a way to have more than 10 PM's per page?
It really is a chore trying to search or prune PMs when one can only see 10 at a time.
Is there any way to have a choice - say 10, 20, 30, 50, 100
Or perhaps it could just be fixed at 30 or something.
Here's hoping and thanks for listening

Drs. Adelman and Myles used a gene disruption technique to effect this change.
Drs. Adelman and Myles used a gene disruption technique to effect this change.
In the 12 years since brown marmorated stink bugs were discovered in Allentown, Pa., the voracious insect has made a slow and steady march toward Virginia.
A research team at Virginia Tech has discovered some of the genetic mechanisms for the bed bug's resistance to two of the most popular pyrethroids.
Welcome to the Department of Entomology at Virginia Tech
Our faculty address a broad range of issues involving insects in most of their habitats: in our crops, houses, forests, fields, vegetables, fruits, water, food, and on our bodies. Research programs are varied and include internationally recognized foundational biomedical research programs emphasizing vector-borne diseases and their transmission by mosquitoes. Comparative genomics and molecular genetics of these vectors provide insights into our ability to explain their vectorial capacity with the goal of improving pest management and disease reduction. Faculty are also involved in an incredibly wide variety of applied insect management efforts, including these mosquito vectors as well as pests attacking our food, forests, and homes. These management efforts focus on the development and application of biologically based and sustainable management tools in novel and exciting ways. Virginia Tech's Extension programs effectively communicate the latest developments in pest management and invasive species across the commonwealth. Extension faculty successfully protect human health and the environment through comprehensive, statewide pesticide safety education efforts. Research programs are exploring the remarkable biodiversity of insects in the Appalachians and beyond, and a new program in Pollinator Biology and Ecology will add an important dimension to our portfolio.
Our Extension, research, and outreach programs have had a tremendous global impact, largely due to the energy of a strong graduate student program (>50 M.S. and Ph.D. students and growing!). Our faculty are deeply committed to providing individual education and professional development opportunities for our students inside and outside the classroom. We encourage prospective students to explore our department and consider Virginia Tech as you build the foundation for your career as an entomologist. If you have any questions or comments, we invite you to contact us to learn more about programs and opportunities in the department.
Position Announcement: Assistant Professor: Pollinator Biology and Ecology
The Department of Entomology at Virginia Tech invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Pollinator Biology and Ecology to begin as early as fall 2016. The position will be filled at the assistant professor level. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2016.

Cogangs engine will enable new insights into interplay of gene-regulation factors. [© marc hericher - Fotolia.com]
CLC bio will head a €1.6 million (nearly $2.1 million) EU-funded comparative genomics consortium that aims to develop a software suite capable of analyzing up to a thousand genomes for gene-regulation analysis studies. The Cogangs (comparative genomics and next generation sequencing) project will also involve researchers at German firm Biobase, Iceland-based deCODE genetics, the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics in Hungary, BioRainbow in Russia, and the University of Oxford in the U.K.
"We can potentially unlock a lot of information in the vast collection of human DNA samples we already have, once this project enables us to do large-scale comparative genomics analyses," comments Gísli Másson, deCode's director of bioinformatics. "We will apply both the initial prototype and the final software package for the analysis of regions that have been identified to have strong disease associations in the human genome."
Danish bioinformatics firm CLC bio claims to offer the only comprehensive cross-platform solution, capable of analyzing and visualizing genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data from all major platforms, including Illumina's Genome Analyzer, SOLiD by Applied Biosystems, Roche's 454, and Helicos' HeliScope.

It's been a busy year so far for beauty queen and angelic vocalist Norah Jones.
Jones, who will perform at Red Butte Garden this summer, has released two fine albums already in 2012 - the first an album of country covers with her side project The Little Willies called "For The Good Times," is one of the most fun albums released so far this year.
And this month's release "Little Broken Hearts" is about as close to indie-rock as Jones is likely to get. The moody, melancholy album, however, is every bit as tuneful and melodic as the previous country record.
Jones, pictured above, sounds like a sad angel on "After The Fall" and a barroom madame on "4 Broken Hearts." The melody, with its long looping verses isn't something most singers could do - even on their best nights. That Jones makes it sound so easy is a testament to her vocal talents.
Jones is also in fine form on the winsome album opener "Good Morning." And while this release is worth owning - if you're a fan of vintage country songs, the year's earlier Jones release is just about a must-have.
Country nuggets like the title track and "Diesel Smoke and Dangerous Curves" showcasing Little Willie band member Richard Julian on lead vocals and using Jones perfectly on the chorus, where she sounds like a country-fried siren. Other highlights include the Dolly Parton chestnut "Jolene" and a classic Willie Nelson deep cut called "Remember Me." Throw in a cheeky remake of Loretta Lynn's "Fist City," and this album's lone fault is that just about 40 minutes, it doesn't go on long enough.
Fans of Jones will want both releases and are likely already counting down to her Red Butte Garden show on Aug. 21.

The once fiercely private Tiger Woodshas become an open book this week. He gave an interview Thursday morning to ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, he joined twitter (gasp) and bared his soul in an essay to Newsweek.
So is this a sign of deep change in Wood's psyche or public relations department?
Reading Tiger Woods' essay in Newsweek, he sounds pretty contrite. But there is a paragraph in the article that gives pause and makes you question if he really understands his role in this self-created mess that led to a divorce with Elin Nordegren making him a single father.
"Golf is a self-centered game, in ways good and bad. So much depends on one's own abilities. But for me, that self-reliance made me think I could tackle the world by myself. It made me think that if I was successful in golf, then I was invincible."
That feels like a slight cop-out to me. Almost every athlete that experiences success at the highest levels (Kobe Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Shaquille O'Neal) has felt a sense of invincibility whether it's a team or individual sport.
Golf may have been his vehicle for destruction, but Tiger Woods was the driver. And for reasons still unclear, he drove his family into a mack truck of mistresses.
You could insert executive, actor or McDonald's manager in place of golf. What's in a man or woman's heart to do, he or she will eventually do when presented with temptation or opportunity.
I wonder if Tiger Woods has really gotten to the root of his choices. Judging from his essay, he recognizes what provided aid to his vices, but not what caused him to made detrimental choices against his family over and over and over again.
Next week marks the one year anniversary of the Thanksgiving accident that started the downfall of Tiger Woods. Maybe he wanted to get a jump out on the potential stories and give his own take first before the world.
He has right to do that, maybe even an obligation. Wouldn't you want to have some influence over the world's perception of you?
Golf was just one layer that contributed to Woods' choices and a thin one at that. Here's hoping he finds the root.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
Landscaping 101 (page 5 of 5)
by National Gardening Association Editors
It All Comes to Life
Now's the time for you to face another kind of reality--the fiscal kind. Putting cost estimates together can be a very time-consuming job, and you may decide to leave it to a professional. This, of course, depends on whether you intend to do the work yourself or hire someone else to do it for you. Although this is largely a personal decision, it should be pointed out that most yard construction (with the exception of pools, spas, fountains, and sophisticated electrical work) is well within the ability of a person with average mechanical aptitude. If you enjoy these kinds of projects, by all means, have at it; you'll save considerable labor charges and experience a great deal of pride once the landscaping project is completed.
If, however, you decide you have neither the time nor the inclination to do the landscaping yourself, a variety of professionals and semiprofessionals are available. The type of help you choose depends both on the complexity of your plans and on any personal contacts you have in the field. You may be better off using someone with whom you have a relationship that goes beyond a mere contract. The vagaries of contracting any type of work to a person completely unknown to you are well documented. An already established personal relationship with any contractor could be your best insurance for the successful completion of your project.
You have many choices for outside help. They are presented here in traditional order of "professionalism" (that is, from the least to most amount of training and licensing required to use the title): nursery or garden center design/construction service, landscape designer, landscape contractor, and landscape architect. On the straight construction side (in the same order), there are handy people, such as carpenters, building designers, construction contractors, and architects. Some of these titles may differ from one part of the country to the other, but, regardless of the title, you'll be able to find someone at each level of skill and experience no matter where you live.
Once the construction of your backyard actually begins, an odd thing happens. As soon as the first section of fence is hammered into place, or your future lawn starts to fill in with the delicate shades of new blades of grass, your imagination takes over and completes the project in your mind's eye. That's why ground-breaking ceremonies attract so much attention. A landscaping project that you may have discussed for years is finally on the way to becoming reality. You may not be erecting a 40-story skyscraper, but as the creator of your own garden for outdoor living, you'll experience plenty of excitement as you take the first concrete steps beyond those vaporous ideas and paper plans. Here's to your own private ground-breaking ceremony!

Specializing in open water swims, Gary Emich provides the skills and information needed to get out of the pool and into the open water safely. With his books, DVDs and one -on one-training sessions, Emich can get any swimmer into the open water confidently.
Emich's love affair with the ocean began in 1956 when he witnessed someone landing a 10-foot bull shark off of the Ft. Lauderdale Pier and hauling it to shore. But, Emich truly discovered the art of open water swimming when he moved to San Francisco in 1990 and saw a group from the South End Rowing Club swimming in Aquatic Park. Since then, Emich has never looked at a body of water without analyzing its swimming potential and this perspective has manifested itself into several open water swims around the world.
Emich has since obtained certification as an American Swimming Coaches Association Coach (Level 2), USA Triathlon Coach (Level 1) and a USA Triathlon Race Director.

The upcoming shows at Red Butte Garden-including Steve Martin and band, tonight and Joss Stone, on Friday-are a go in spite of the recent oil leak in the canyon.
The gardens and amphitheater are actually located upstream from the recent pipeline break, and according to Red Butte officials, there is no discernable smell in the area. However, due to cleanup operations and limited parking, concert goers are advised to use public transportation or carpools for tonight's and Friday's shows. There will also be Salt Lake Bicycle Collective valet service provided at the venue.
So keep your tickets, not to mention your plans! The music and entire Red Butte lineup is fantastic.

The work of visual artist, singer-songwriter, guitarist and Oklahoma-native JD McPherson channels his eclectic interests and creative gusto in a singular musical collage that takes a reverence for the past and wraps it in a decidedly forward-thinking motif. The art teacher turned rocker writes songs that reference 40s R&B and the sounds of 50s American rock and roll, pulling from the aesthetic of such record labels as Specialty, Vee-Jay and Del-Fi. Having played in a punk outfit and embracing a penchant for hip-hop, McPherson's retro melange bridges the divide among ostensibly disparate artists, from Ruth Brown to the Wu-Tang Clan, Elvis Presley to the Smiths, Jackie Wilson to Stiff Little Fingers. In 2010, McPherson released his solo debut, Signs & Signifiers, produced by Jimmy Sutton. Originally released on indie imprint Hi-Style Records, the album was re-released to a wider audience on Rounder Records in 2012. "Although I grew up wanting to be a visual artist, I'll tell you what: the most satisfaction I've ever had as an artist is right now," says McPherson. "Because as much as I love artists like Joseph Beuys, I love David Bowie and Little Richard more."
In this interview, JD McPherson shares his impressions of Chuck Berry. McPherson is among the artists who will perform during the Rock Hall's 2012 American Music Masters tribute concert honoring Chuck Berry.

Big Picture: A new take on unit-load storage
December 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
If you attended the Modex show last February, you may have seen demonstrations of new unit-load storage technologies at booths sponsored by Power Automation Systems (PAS) and the Italian company Smoov.
Both companies were highlighting solutions that combine deep-lane storage rack with automatic carts or shuttles that move pallets to and from storage. They weren't alone. Frazier Industrial was also exhibiting its semi-automated shuttle technology for pallet storage.
If you missed them, you're not alone. For the last couple of years, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and mobile robots have been getting a tremendous amount of attention. Less noticed have been the innovations around pallet-handling storage technologies.
Look closely, however, and you'll find technologies that fill the gap between conventional deep-lane pallet storage and a fully automated unit-load automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). Within the industry, these solutions are referred to as high-density dynamic storage. These solutions aren't right for every application, or even every pallet handling and storage application; however, for facilities that have already gathered the low-hanging fruit, they may be the next level of improvement.
These solutions also illustrate a way to think about storage. In many instances, storage is no longer simply a process unto itself. In fact, conventional reserve storage is set apart from modern supply chains designed to keep product in motion as much as possible.
Instead, as the term "dynamic" suggests, storage is becoming an integral component of other processes, such as manufacturing work-in-process, order fulfillment and shipping. Applied dynamically, storage becomes a tool that facilitates even faster movement of product through a facility. The best solutions minimize the space and labor devoted to storage as well as reduce the length of time a product remains at rest.
In this Big Picture, we'll look at what's behind this emerging area of unit-load storage and how the technologies are being applied.
What's in a name?
The concept behind high-density dynamic storage isn't new. Rack companies such as Interlake Mecalux, Frazier Industrial, Konstant and LoadBank— a solution now marketed by SafeFlo Technologies—have offered some type of high-density dynamic storage for years.
What differentiated these early solutions from conventional deep-lane pallet rack was the movement of the pallets within the rack—the dynamic part—so that a lift truck didn't have to enter the rack system to store or retrieve a load. The idea was to improve productivity and reduce damage to the racks because a lift truck operator wouldn't have to slow down to safely handle pallets deep in a lane.
What differentiated them from an AS/RS was the degree of automation: Regardless of the solution, they were designed to interface with a lift truck rather than operate autonomously like an AS/RS.
These largely niche solutions were used by manufacturers that needed to store a large number of pallets of a limited number of SKUs. More importantly, they didn't need to go 60 or more feet high to justify the cost of implementation as is the case with a full-blown AS/RS. For those reasons, the primary competition was conventional rack.
If the technology has been around so long, what's changed? And, why are end users taking a harder look now? The simple answer is the increasing complexity of the supply chain: As end users push more and more requirements upstream, manufacturers and distributors need to meet those demands while still controlling costs.
"The analytics that our customers are deploying to understand their product mix and velocity is allowing them to be more refined about how they manage their SKUs," says Dan Garside, general manager of Frazier Industrial's Canadian operations. "That's bringing a better appreciation for these unique systems."
The systems allow shippers to isolate the ideal mix of SKUs and improve selectivity in a high-density environment. "A dynamic storage system allows you to get between 80% and 90% occupancy compared to about 60% occupancy in a conventional drive-in rack system," says Garside. "That basically means you can reduce the amount of space you need for storage by about 30% for the same number of pallet positions and possibly use fewer lift trucks." At the same time, he adds, productivity is improved because a pallet is always at an aisle and ready for pickup.
These solutions work especially well in operating environments where manufacturers are managing smaller levels of inventory per SKU, managing an increasing number of SKUs or making smaller and more frequent shipments, says Elisabet Fasano, brand marketing manager for Smoov ASRV S.r.l. "AS/RS technology can achieve high throughput and fast response times when the throughput is high and stable," Fasano says. "But the design is rigid and cannot easily adapt to rapid changes in demand. Shuttle-based systems can be quickly and easily expanded to add more vehicles to support rapid growth or peak seasonal fluctuations."
In addition to complexity, at least four other factors are influencing the interest in high-density storage.
The next level of optimization: Manufacturers have historically focused on building higher speed production lines to bring down their manufacturing costs. Now, they are being asked to do more with their distribution systems. "They can no longer rely on bulk storage on the floor," says Fred Grafe, president of operations and sales for PAS Americas. "They have to reduce their supply chain costs."
New packaging that won't stack: The beverage industry, in particular, is looking at high-density storage as an alternative to floor stacking. "With new packaging designs, you can't stack a pallet of PET bottles on top of another pallet of PET bottles," says Tom Coyne, CEO of System Logistics. "Coming off the production line, you need an efficient way to store product."
Retrofitting an existing building: Most end users would rather retrofit an existing building than build a new site, says Dan Quinn, president of SafeFlo Technologies. Some of that is being driven by green initiatives. Some is simple economics: High-density dynamic storage allows an end user to make use of the total cube in an existing building. Quinn adds that these solutions can also be configured to conform to the shape of the building or to work around structural supports. "If you need to make it L-shaped, you can make it L-shaped," says Quinn.
- Remove employees from a hostile operating environment: No one wants to work in a freezer or refrigerated warehouse space. What's more, those spaces are expensive to operate. "The fuller you can fill a freezer, the lower the utility cost," says Steven Beyer, director of business development for Retrotech. "With a high-density dynamic solution, you increase the storage density and there is no more need for a labor force that constantly requires warm up breaks."
Regardless of the product or industry, the applications where high-density dynamic storage works best are manufacturing or distribution environments where product turns are measured by days or weeks instead of months.
"For many of the users we're talking to, storage is taking on dimensions beyond just putting things away and then retrieving them when they're needed," says Beyer. "It's a more active, dynamic and multi-faceted component of the supply chain."
