First ICS ROM For HTC Flyer
Posted February 3, 2012 at 06:00 pm by orb3000
XDA member AidenM shows the first ever ROM for HTC Flyer loaded with the newest operating system from Android: Ice cream sandwich. The work is based on Sensation RCMix 3D Leak w/ Dexter_nlb's fixes for hardware and since it´s a beta version some bugs are present.
So far the Developer has a green light on:
– Wifi
– Market access
– AOSP lockscreen
– Rotation
– Touch
– ADB access
– External SD
It's not perfect, here's what's not working:
– Camera
– Bluetooth
– Some settings panes (keyboard selecter)
– Rotation is blurry and pixelated

HTC Ville Caught on Video
Posted January 31, 2012 at 01:00 pm by orb3000
Just a few days ago we were talking about how HTC has been making a lot of noise in many news lately, and now we saw a video where the HTC Ville shows off HTC Sense 4.0.
Some of the leaked details point that this metal uni body device will have a thickness of 8mm and the following specs:
– Sense 4.0
– 1.5GHz Dual Core Processor
– 8 megapixel camera
– VGA front camera
– Bluetooth 4.0
– Android 4.0 / 4.0.1 ICS
The video clearly shows some lagging, but this may not be a final build of the software.
The Ville is expected to be among the devices HTC unveils at Mobile World Congress soon, so expect more about this phone as this story develops.

More Details About HTC Sense 4.0
Posted January 29, 2012 at 12:00 pm by orb3000
HTC Sense is one of the most popular customizations UI on the Android mobile interfaces, and just a month before the start of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we have some leaked information about the upcoming Sense 4.0.
According to the source the unlock screen now show us more information from our list, quick access to contacts and even the ability to open the notification bar directly. This is not exactly a customization of HTC as this feature is included on Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Also, new widgets are included, like the one that allows access to websites that have previously saved in the browser. That's not all, because now the email client also includes surprises so good that according to the source t. . . READ ON »
Early ICS Port Arrives For the Original Transformer
Posted January 27, 2012 at 11:00 am by Ian Stacy
The Transformer Prime has been getting lots of attention lately. With an ICS OTA update and several fresh mods, Prime owners have more than enough to tinker with.
What about the Prime's older brother?
The original Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is finally getting some love in the form of an (admittedly) early Ice Cream Sandwich build. XDA member paulburton has released a working version and the respective source code.
From the original thread:
I thought some of you might be interested in what I've been hacking on for the past couple of days, ICS running on the transformer. It's very early days but the touchscreen, keyboard & wifi are working. It feels quite smooth swooshing between homescre
EternityProject Brings Moto RAZR GSM ICS Update and Different Method to Flash Firmware
Posted January 26, 2012 at 02:00 pm by Former Writer
EternityProject head developer, and also XDA Recognized Developer, kholk and his crew have brought a few really great things to the Motorola Droid RAZR in a relatively short period of time.
For starters, they've posted the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the GSM version of the RAZR, available immediately, in their thread about it here. Along with the download links is instructions on installation and screen shots. As stated, this is for the GSM version of the phone only, so those toting the CDMA model will have to wait just a little bit longer for theirs. Also, if you plan on checking it out, make sure you fulfill all the requirements before flashing.
Additionally, the team has brought an alternative to flas. . . READ ON »
HTC Rezound Gets Pure AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich Port
Posted January 23, 2012 at 12:00 pm by Former Writer
The HTC Rezound has a number of Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs. Most of them also include HTC Sense or are based on HTC Sense framework (often called "senseless"). However, there isn't a whole lot of AOSP love going on in the HTC Rezound forums. At least, there wasn't a few days ago.
XDA Senior Member dmeadows013 has been working, released, and is now actively updating an Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP port for the Verizon's beastly HTC phone. Based on the HTC Evo 3D port of ICS, the ROM is still only in beta and one can expect to have issues.
Here's a list of what isn't working:

Le Pan TC970 Ice Cream Sandwich and CyanogenMod9 in the Works
Posted January 19, 2012 at 10:00 am by Former Writer
The development on cheaper, lesser known tablets has been surprisingly active in recent weeks, and Matsunichi's modest 9.7″ tablet is no exception.
The mid range tablet is currently being worked on by XDA Developer Junior Member fv+ with some help from XDA Developer Junior Member chinabull.
The duo doesn't have ICS or CM9 working just yet. However, with updates on their progress appearing every 1 or 2 days, it is only a matter of time before they get an alpha for users to test. The latest update on their progress:
Great news!
With chinabull's help, I found out how to generate the 20 bytes SHA1 checksum for trhe images contained in the firmware.

Samsung Galaxy Mini Gets ClockworkMod and RZ Recovery
Posted January 13, 2012 at 07:32 am by Former Writer
Users of the Samsung Galaxy Mini have had a lot of excitement. Not long ago, CyanogenMod9 was successfully ported to it and it's also had CM7 for quite some time.
XDA Senior Member squadzone has kept the train rolling on the development for the Galaxy Mini with his simultaneous release of RZ Recovery and ClockworkMod Recovery. This gives users a more familiar recovery experience and makes the process of making back ups and flashing ROMs a little easier.
Both recoveries work perfectly fine, with the exception of the RZ Recovery being unable to read ClockworkMod backups. The feature list for the RZ Recovery is:

LG GT540 Optimus Gets ICS
Posted December 27, 2011 at 10:37 am by Jase Glenn
In this time of bleeding edge performance, older devices fall by the wayside as newer, better versions are released. The day a phone is sent to the low activity forum of XDA, is the day that the community officially aknowledges the end of a device's useful life cycle; it means that development has slowed to a crawl and new ROM's have all but stopped being produced.
The LG GT540 Optimus is one such device, however, developer mikegapinski refuses to let it die. You see not only did he build a custom ROM for the Optimus, but he built an ICS ROM. Your not reading that incorrectly. From his website:
USB/WIFI Tethering Working with alternative apps 80%
RIL Working 100%

The Wisdom of the Value Crowd Can Be Wrong
So far, things have not worked out so well with Johnson at the helm, and with huge drops in same store sales, including down 27% in Q3, and surprisingly bad earnings numbers, shares are down 55% since peaking in early February. Some have been calling for the company to fire Johnson, and doubts that he can turn the company around from the old-style retailer it has been for many decades, are mounting.
Now, with many calling for the company's demise, I'm getting intrigued. Expectations have gone from very high, to extremely low. Perhaps this company can't be turned around -- that's how it's being priced -- or, maybe it will take longer to make the transition from old-style big box retailer, to the more hip, "100 shops" within one store feel that Johnson is shooting for.
The company ended Q3 with $532 million in cash and just under $3 billion in debt. While the debt concerns me, the company is loaded with tangible assets, namely the 400-plus owned locations. I won't make any bold assumptions of what the real estate might be worth.While it gives the company some options, clearly success for investors here is dependent on a turnaround in the retail business. If that does happen, the real estate may be worth more.
While it's easy to fall into a "value trap," as Sears has been to date, the nature of deep value is to consider buying when everyone else has given up. While J.C. Penney has some huge challenges ahead of it, for the first time, I am at least intrigued.Not ready to pull the trigger, but intrigued.

Apple changes purchase policy so your kids don't max out your credit card
The Washington Post is reporting that Apple has changed its policy on in-app purchases on iOS devices to protect users from accidentally toting up huge iTunes charges.
iOS 4.3 has a feature that requires a password when any purchases are made within an application after it has been downloaded. This is in response to situations where children were sometimes purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of in-app purchases within 15 minutes after an app was first downloaded. Two games in particular were responsible for numerous occurrences of big purchases by kids -- Smurfs' Village and Tap Zoo.
Now that iOS 4.3 is making its way to many iOS devices, a password is not only required to purchase an app on the App Store, but the password will also be required when you make an in-app purchase. By doing this, the user is made aware of the iTunes charges being made by having to enter their password. Once you've made one in-app purchase and entered your password, you can make other recurring charges within 15 minutes without reentering the password. That makes it possible to quickly make multiple charges without having to reenter your password for every charge.
The changes were added to iOS 4.3 as a response to numerous complaints from parents who were upset that their kids were buying "snowflakes" and "Smurfberries" at $99 a barrel without realizing that their parents were being charged actual money for those purchases. These complaints were beginning to surface in the Attorney General's office in a number of states, forcing Apple to look into the issue and respond. It will also help if developers take some responsibility and take the temptation to purchase expensive "virtual products" away from children.

There are three different techniques and numerous brands of products that individuals can use to whiten their teeth.In a recent article published by New York-based ABC-13 News, one local dentist offered some insight on teeth whitening."Bleaching is safe as long as you first have a dental exam, and have no cavities or cracks in your teeth," said Dr. Hans Malmstrom, quoted by the news source.He explained that cracks in teeth often go undetected and sensitivity or nerve damage can occur when these abnormalities come into contact with whitening agents.The expert recommended in-office whitening procedures that involve trays that are molded to the patient's mouth. Unlike brightening strips, these devices are fit for an individual's unique needs and are moderately priced at around $400.Malmstrom told the news provider that during the first few weeks after whitening treatments, people should try to avoid substances that are known to stain teeth. These include coffee, tobacco and red wine.According to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, more than 99 percent of respondents think that a bright smile is a social asset.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353

Harper Government Announces Access To EI Sickness Benefits For 6 000 Eligible Parents Effective March 24, 2013
Starting March 24, 2013, EI claimants who fall ill or are injured while receiving parental benefits may be eligible to receive sickness benefits. A person who is unable to work because of sickness, injury or quarantine may receive up to 15 weeks of sickness benefits.Currently, people receiving parental benefits under the EI program do not qualify for sickness benefits because they are not considered to be otherwise available for work. Through the Helping Families in Need Act, which received Royal Assent on December 14, 2012, the Government amended the Employment Insurance Act to waive the requirement for EI parental benefit claimants to be "otherwise available for work" or, for self-employed persons, to "otherwise be working" and to have ceased working because of their illness or injury. This change allows parents who are claiming EI parental benefits to be eligible for sickness benefits if they fall ill or are injured. The Helping Families in Need Act also introduced legislative amendments to the Employment Insurance Act to implement a new EI benefit for parents of critically ill children and amends the Canada Labour Code to protect the jobs of parents who take time away from work to care for a critically ill or injured child and/or to cope with the loss or disappearance of a child as a result of a probable Criminal Code offence.

"If you acquire the body of your dreams your a millionaire, because millionaire's would pay millions for the body of their dreams."
"Most heavyweights are not concerned with technique. They just go out there and try to out-muscle you and take you down. A stronger wrestler is a better wrestler, but the more technique you have, the better your chances are of winning."

Husband and I were planning to go to Crested Butte in July for mtb-ing and scenery/wildflower gawking. I was just about to make the plane res (to Denver and drive...we can get a non-stop from Charlotte NC to Denver). But....I started reading about the altitude, and think maybe I'd like to stay below 10k. My Colorado geography is poor, I don't know what areas would be at lower elevation. I know about Fruita, but that's even farther from Denver, our trip will only be 4 days, so if there were something great nearer to Denver/Boulder that would offer great mtb-ing, please fill me in. Thanks!

Don Cheadle
Born on November 29, 1964 in Kansas City, Missouri
Don Cheadle as "Marty Kaan"
Charming, fast-talking consultant Marty Kaan and his team of MBA-toting colleagues charm smug, unsuspecting corporate fat cats into closing big deals while spending a fortune for the services of Kaan and his team. Kaan is not above using any means (or anybody) necessary to get what he wants. Members of Kaan's team include razor-sharp Ivy League alum Jeannie van der Hooven, lackadaisical womanizer Clyde Oberholt and math geek Doug Guggenheim, who isn't very successful with the ladies. Marty's ex-wife, Monica Talbot, is a consultant with a rival firm and, unsurprisingly, is his professional nemesis. Marty lives with his father, a retired psychoanalyst, and his young son, Roscoe.

When J.K.Rowling's new website launched a few weeks back, the press release promised that a limited number of fans would be granted early access to the site. Pottermore isn't due to launch until October, but a contest was started on Sunday to let people win that early access.
The contest is called Find The Magic Quill, and it's fairly simple. A new trivia question will be posted every day this week on Pottermore, and the first few who find the answer and append it to the website address quill.pottermore.com/ will get a chance to sign up for Pottermore.
The triva questions are posted once a day but they're not posted at the same time everyday.
It's not clear how many fans the site will accept,but given the size of the Harry Potter fanbase it won't be more than a tithe. Good luck with trying to win the contest; the Pottemore website has been so busy these past couple days that it has been inaccessible at times.

This weekend promises to be sumptuous for lovers of serious cinema in Kozhikode. The Bankmen's Film Society (BFS), one of the few of its ilk that try to bring quality international cinema to the region, will screen critically-acclaimed films over three days.
'Volver' (Spain), 'Wild Strawberries' (Sweden), 'Kekexili: Mountain Patrol' (China), 'Babel' (France), 'The Battle of Algiers' (Algeria), 'Bus 174' (Brazil) and 'Parzania' (India) will be screened at the Urban Bank Auditorium (Kallai Road) from September 7 to 9.
'Volver' (Coming Back), the opening film, is directed by Pedro Almodovar, one of the highest-rated directors today. The Penelope Cruz-starrer was one of the best films of last year and was also the opening film of the last International Film Festival of India in Goa.
Watch it for Cruz
'Volver' is the story of Raimunda, a young working-class woman. Cruz was nominated for the best actress category at this year's Oscar for her brilliant portrayal of Raimunda. She is one of the many reasons why you must see 'Volver'.
BFS is showing Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film, 'Wild Strawberries', as a tribute to one of the finest filmmakers of all time, who died on July 30. 'Wild Strawberries' stars Victor Sjostrom, himself an accomplished director and described as 'the father of Swedish cinema,' and Bibi Andersson. Sjostrom plays an elderly doctor who sets out on a journey to his former university, along with his daughter and his memories.
Chinese thriller
'Kekexili: Mountain Patrol' (2004), the breathtakingly shot Chinese film is a thriller. Director Lu Chuan tells a true story about a fierce battle between the local Tibetans and poachers of the endangered antelope. 'Bus 174' (2002) is based on a true incident. The debut film of director Jose Padilha, based on a bus hijacking, remains one of the best documentaries of the last few years.
Gujarat in focus
'Parzania' (2005), the lone Indian film featured in the festival, had fetched its director Rahul Dholakia and lead actress Sarika the National awards recently. The film is set in the backdrop of the Gujarat riots of 2002.
'Babel' (2006), directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, is about four stories taking place across continents and features a stellar cast of Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal, while 'The Battle of the Algiers' (1965), directed by Gillo Pontevorco, tells about Algeria's independence struggle against the French rule.

Afternoon Creative Nonfiction/Memoir Seminar Instructor—Eileen Cronin
Eileen Cronin grew up in Cincinnati during the 1960s and 70s, when television was still new and children used their imaginations to create games, plays, and other entertainment. Her family, with its eleven athletic and engaging kids, lived in a neighborhood packed with other Catholic families. As Eileen was a middle child, she learned quickly that she needed to compete for a place in the crowd. This task was complicated by the fact that she was born, inexplicably, with legs that ended at about the knee. Eileen found her place among friends in an all-girl Catholic high school with whom she enjoyed parties, dating, and inventing pranks. Her favorite memories include skinny dipping on summer nights with girlfriends and imagining herself an elusive mermaid. Through poetry and short story writing, Eileen found her voice. Eileen's fiction has been published in literary magazines; she's won the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society's competition and the Washington Writing Prize in short fiction. Her essays have also been published in literary journals, and one of her personal essays was published as a notable essay in Best American Essays. Her debut memoir, Mermaid, about her struggles through "the eyes of a mermaid," was published in 2014 by W.W. Norton & Co. to great acclaim, and was listed in the February issue of Oprah's "O" magazine as one of "10 titles to pick up now." Learn more about Eileen at http://www.eileencronin.com/

History students make the past accessible
Friday, January 24, 2014
Some formerly disorganized and inaccessible historical records of Fort Lewis College will be available to researchers of the future thanks to the hands-on efforts of students in a new course on Archival Theory & Practice.
"As the de facto college archivist, I felt a certain responsibility to help our students experience the practical side of the course," says FLC Cataloger and Records Processor PeeKay Briggs. "Since archives are the 'labs' historians work in, we chose to create a lab for these future historians and archives users – and hopefully budding archivists."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:I need to register for a class, but it's closed. What do I do?
A: If you need to get into a class that is currently closed, please keep an eye on its enrollment until the start of the quarter. It is very common for the enrollment to fluctuate before the quarter begins, and if you see an opening, you should be able to add yourself to the class (provided you meet the prerequisites).
Q: The quarter is about to start and I still haven't been able to add the class I need to take. What do I do?
A:Please attend the first week of the class you wish to add, talk with the instructor and sign the attendance sheet he/she provides. Some spaces may open at the end of this period, but this is not guaranteed. Please note that if you have not regularly attended class during this period, you will not be added even if there are available spots.
Q:The Time Schedule says the class is open, and I meet all the prerequisites. Why can't I enroll?
A: In all likelihood, the class is probably full. The main Time Schedule page is only updated once a day, and often does not accurately reflect the current number of students enrolled. For the most up-to-date information, you can either click on the SLN number of the course, or click on the Enrollment Summary link at the top of the Time Schedule page. Either option will show you the accurate enrollment numbers.
Q:Do you keep waiting lists for your classes?
A:Waiting lists are handled directly by the instructors. If you are trying to get into a closed course, please keep an eye on its enrollment as an opening may become available suddenly. Contact the instructor and attend the first week of class.
Q: Do I need an add code to get into your classes?
A: Add codes are only required for sections that have special designations, such as FIG sections. Most of our classes do not require an add code, and you should be able to register yourself during Period 1 or Period 2 provided you meet the prerequisites, if any, and there is space in the course/section you are trying to add.
Q: The class I want to take is full, will you give me an add code?
A: Normally, add codes are handled directly by the instructor. However, you should watch the enrollment summary until the start of the quarter and/or attend the first day of class to be considered for any spots.
Q: What does an "FIG section" mean?
A: If a class is designated as FIG section, it means that only students who are part of a Freshman Interest Group may enroll in that section. If you are not a FIG student, you will need to register for another section.
Q: I'm a FIG student. How do I get into the FIG section?
A: Entry into the FIG sections is by add code only. If you have difficulties registering, please send an e-mail message to email@example.com
Q:How do I go about signing up to write an Honors Thesis?
A: This option is only for students that have been admitted to the AES Honors Program. The pertinent application form is available at the academic adviser's office; or it can be downloaded here [link here to AES H P Application]. Please notice that students must hold at least a 3.5 overall GPA and a minimum of 3.7 GPA in AES courses in order to be eligible for this option. For more information on this matter, see the section on Honors here [link here to AES Honors Thesis]
498s & 499s
Q:How many 498 (Special Topics) courses can I take?
A: A maximum of 15 credits (three 5-credit courses) can count for your degree completion, whether you take them all in one or more than one concentration (AES, AAS, AA/PIA, CHST)
Q:How many 499 (Independent Study) courses can I take?
A: A maximum of 10 credits (typically, two 5-credit courses) can be applied toward the major
Q: Do the Swahili or Tagalog courses count toward the fulfillment of the AES major?
A:No. The Swahili and Tagalog language courses do not fulfill AES requirements. However, they can be used to satisfy the University's foreign language requirement, or can be applied to the "elective" courses category.
Q:I want to retake a class I already have credit for. What do I do?
A: If you wish to repeat a course you have taken already, you should talk with the academic adviser first. Priority is given to students who have not previously taken the class; so we are often not able to accommodate students trying to repeat. In any case, you will need to attend the first three days of class and sign the attendance sheet provided by the instructor.
Q:Will I receive credit if I repeat a course?
A: No credit is given for repeated courses. If you are repeating a course, you may want to contact the Financial Aid Office to find out if and/or how a repeated course will affect the aid you receive.
Q:I'm a non-matriculated student. How do I get into a class?
A: Please visit http://www.outreach.washington.edu/nondegree/ to read about becoming a non-matriculated student at the UW. To enroll in an AES class during the academic year, you will need to attend the first week of class, making sure to sign the attendance sheet provided by the instructor. Please note that matriculated UW undergraduates have priority for any open spaces. During Summer Quarter, non-matriculated students may enroll in our classes during Period 2 registration.
Q:I need to transfer credits I took at another institution. How do I go about it?
A:We regularly accept transfer coursework from other universities and community colleges. The UW Office of Admissions provides information to help you plan your transfer: http//admit.washington.edu/Requirements/Transfer/Plan
If you are transferring from a local college, you can access the UW Equivalency Guide to view how specific courses from your college will automatically transfer to your AES degree: http//admit.washington.edu/Requirements/Transfer/Plan/EquivalencyGuide
If you have coursework that does not automatically transfer, make an appointment with the AES academic adviser. Bring copies of all relevant transcripts (official or unofficial) and course syllabi.
UW Center for Learning and Undergraduate Enrichment (CLUE) offers drop-in tutoring, discussion sessions led by graduate and senior undergraduate students, and a writing center. For more information, visit their website at http://depts.washington.edu/clue/index.php Other UW and on-line resources are available, http://lib.washington.edu/research/wri.html
