One Comparison: Verizon iPhone vs. AT&T iPhone
The Verizon iPhone and AT&T iPhone are basically the same; there are only minor differences. Because of that, it is difficult to say which one is better, since a lot depends on where the user lives and works, as well as what types of services are most important to them. Keeping that in mind, the folks at Ars Technica attempted to compare both handsets and determine which was better.

I installed WordPress SEO last week. The only problem notices as of yet is as follows:
When I go to Dashboard, choose Post/all Post. All the titles that should be displayed have the letters lined up rather than left to right ( normal reading for American English). The alphanumerical charcters, referred to by me as letters, are lined up one on top of the next.
This makes reading the titles of the post almost impossible to read.

I stayed here on a 3d/2n business trip.
There were 2 groups having their annual conference in the hotel. This resulted in the entrance area being blocked and crowded at certain hours though it didn't affect the check-in/check out counters which were fortunately located further inside the hotel.
Although, the hotel lived up to most of my expectations with their friendly and helpful staff, I didn't get a sense of wow during my stay.
What I Liked:
Clean, spacious room
Generous buffet breakfast spread with fresh coconuts - first time I've seen in a hotel !
Helpful and informative concierge and bell hops.
What Could be Improved:
The pillows were way too soft for me even though I slept on 2 pillows. Although, the hotel has a pillow menu, I didn't find the time to ask for a change due to my schedule and short stay.
Room curtains – not the black out types and I was awakened by the early rays of the 6am sun sneaking thru the curtains – Gooooood Morning Vietnam !!
Service at the lobby Bar was slow even though it wasn't crowded and was surprised that they haven't heard of a gin lime or vodka lime
Miscellaneous Info
Plenty of English and foreign TV channels.
Pool and gym was crowded in the mornings – popular with the keep-fit members of the conference group
About a 20-30 minute walk to Ben Thanh Market – walking in Ho Chi Minh's heat and humidity , it felt like 45 minutes
Located next / outside the hotel, there's Hard Rock Café, Brotzeit Microbrewery, a 24-hours convenience store, a coffee café and other restaurants.
The average taxi fare around District 1 is about 30VND to 40VND based on my actual fares.
Word of Caution
Although, I felt generally safe even when i walked the streets alone, I'd like to relate an unfortunate incident that befell a colleague. She had her handbag snatched from her at night after returning from a nightspot even though she was with a group of friends. She did every thing recommended by a local guide - walked with a group, kept her handbag towards the pavement side of the road. Unfortunately, the snatch thief was on a bike travelling on the pavement itself when he committed his dastardly deed.
Fortunately, she didnt carry her passport and loads of money in her bag; just an old handphone, her key room card and some cash.

March 22 News: NOAA Predicts Warmer-Than-Average Spring For Most Of U.S. And Little Drought Relief
NOAA says this spring will be warmer than average for most of the U.S., with expanded drought conditions for large portions of the South and West, and river flooding expected to be worse than last year in the upper Midwest [NPR, Climate Central]
NOAA issued the three-month U.S. Spring Outlook today, stating that odds favor above-average temperatures across much of the continental United States, including drought-stricken areas of Texas, the Southwest and the Great Plains. Spring promises little drought relief for most of these areas, as well as Florida, with below-average spring precipitation favored there. Meanwhile, river flooding is likely to be worse than last year across the country, with the most significant flood potential in North Dakota.

20 Responses to March 22 News: NOAA Predicts Warmer-Than-Average Spring For Most Of U.S. And Little Drought Relief
It seems that Apple eventually going 100% renewable energy is very encouraging.
Here's a thought: One day, in the not too distant future, the world is going to wake up and the people are going to be electing governments based on their plans and competency to deal with the climate crisis in a serious way, not just fiddling with a few percent emissions reductions here and there.
Those governments are going to be calling on scientists and engineers to come up with effective schemes to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere, as that's the safest method of geo-engineering the planet, and they'll want schemes which can be up and running, on a huge scale, almost immediately – not in 30 years' time.
Who is working on the technology *now*, that we will need when the world wakes up and starts taking global warming seriously? Someone needs to be. Someone needs to be working on the R&D so that when the time comes, they can hand it over to our best engineers and industries and say "get on and build it, make it work".
"Why geoengineering has immediate appeal to China"
Interesting article which basically says from the Chinese communist govt. standpoint they just want to keep the good times going (massive economic growth – requiring large CO2 emissions for decades) so they maintain power and Geo-Engineering would offer the promise of letting the good times roll and delaying some of the climate change consequences temporarily. The country likes to fiddle with its rain via cloudseeding so they'd probably have less hesitation from that standpoint as well.
This scenario would be rather bad – keep fossil fueling (for growth) but do Geo-Engineering to slightly roll back and delay some effects till it all falls apart at some point. We'll get to see how this plays out, but it would seem likely China is the biggest player likely to move forward with Geo-Engineering on their own (regardless of what others say).
Joe I wanted to request that you check out this presentation (looks like it was at U of Manchester in 2012) and tell us what you think (Real Clothes for the Emperor:
facing the challenges of climate change by Kevin Anderson):
Looks at current emissions and what's needed for 2C and basically says its not even close to being plausible and that 4C will be a big stretch with world emissions topping in 2020. It talks about the fact that scientists are debating whether they should tell the tough truth or not – as it would take away hope. You'll want a drink after reading it, if you drink.
I stumbled over this presentation in a link from a Guardian article on Geo-Engineering and how it would fit well with China's government (have that link up but its in moderation purgatory).
Timing was lousy…. I stumbled onto this Heritage Foundation attack on PACCOM Adm Locklear right after lunch.
Wanted to flag something I heard on CNBC this morning (U.S. only) – Natural Gas Prices have kissed $4 MMBTu and hovering just below it – the commentator said that $4 natural gas means Coal starts getting chosen for power plants again instead of natural gas – he said this would be good for the rail companies, since they haul the coal (this is for existing plants).
Natural gas prices have risen ~100% from Dec 2011 as it climbs out the effects of an oversupply bubble. Were it to double again, you'd have parity (or slightly more expensive) than equivalent gasoline ($3.75 gallon), doubt that happens soon though. Natural gas is losing its leverage to put coal plants out of business on straight costs of running the plants at this point…I was hoping that would go on for a few more years & snuff out more coal plants.
Ah, here's the presentation (Cabot Institute Annual Lecture):
Real Clothes for the Emperor: facing the challenges of climate change by Kevin Anderson – Nov 2012
Letting 'The Market' determine everything always works so well, does it not?
Climate Change gets to groundhog…
Oh yes Mulga, its only a solution for those mythical shareholders, which in the end, is no solution at all. That said, when we don't have our govt. doing anything I'll take all the coal plant closings from "the market" we can get and am sad that door is closing here.
Mulga, check out this video presentation I stumbled on today (wanted a drink after watching it) – from November 2012 the guy basically takes all the big reports our elected officials look at and points out these huge errors (typically in accounting for prior CO2 emissions and in forecasting future CO2 emissions by the folks between the scientists and the politicians) that make it "plausible" for us to reach 2.0C (i.e. the numbers are gamed), it appears 4.0C will be a huge stretch without feedbacks was the guy's point:
I was laughing when I heard this today. I hope Phil takes the 5th. ;-)
Of course here in IL, we didn't get snow until Feb., but since then we've had winter, still have the snow on the ground – unfortunately for the spring animals who have all returned, apparently remembering the summer weather we had last March, (its been cold enough we had a Canadian goose freeze to death on a pond out back earlier this week).
Check into Allan Savory (watch his TED talk and read the commentary on that page); Wes Jackson and the Land Institute; and the International Biochar Initiative web site. Between these three technologies, we can bring existing CO2 back to pre-industrial levels in about 100 years, assuming we have stopped emissions.
Philip, I know Savory sounds great but you only have to walk around the top end of Oz to see the ravaged soils, noxious weeds and wrecked water holes that hooved animals have inflicted on the fragile, old soils of Australia. We have, as you know, massive problems here, and doing more of the same is not going to work, ME
sorry, I couldn't help double posting to test the spam filter. Guess its working based on keywords
I totally agree Joe, but that may not matter much to those folks who only want to assure they're still in power in 20 years…
Wrong animals. We need lots more macropods, and, if we must eat meat, we must eat them.
Yes, it is what any rational person knows, and pretending that it is not so is the soft denialism that is running rampant on the sane side of society. It's understandable.
It's simply the horrible truth, that the sane humans cannot stomach. I don't blame them-I believe, just below the rational surface, in miracles, too. Some 'Act of God' will mysteriously come to pass, and save humanity. It keeps you from screaming at people in the street.
Yes, and they're better for you, jokes about boiled possum aside, ME

Dealers sue New Mexico over auto inspection rule
ALBUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico automobile dealers are suing the state attorney general over a new rule requiring inspections and damage disclosures for used vehicles before they're sold to the [auth] public.
Attorney General Gary King's office says his office now faces three separate lawsuits filed by the New Mexico Independent Automotive Dealers Association, the New Mexico Automotive Dealers and multiple individual dealers over the rule his office enacted.
The two industry associations did not immediately respond Thursday to requests for copies of their lawsuits but King's office says the suits seek to prevent implementation of the new rule.
King's office calls the rule a protection against unscrupulous dealers and says it will defend it in court.

Hong Kong Property Shares Tumble
Asian markets ended mixed Monday, with Hurricane Sandy in the U.S. adding additional uncertainty to a quiet session, while Hong Kong was dragged down by sharp declines in local property developers.
Better-than-expected growth data out of the U.S. helped some markets bounce back slightly, though the focus is now on other key data points—such as U.S. manufacturing and non-farm payrolls data out later in the week. In Asia, the market is looking ahead to Chinese manufacturing data, out on Thursday.
Hurricane Sandy, which is expected to hit the east coast of the U.S., had a dampening effect on trading in Asia—as the disruption has caused U.S. stock and options markets to close for Monday, while trading desks in New York are expected to be thinly staffed.
"You've got the U.S. essentially closed, so there will be less of that U.S. liquidity that drives a lot of international markets," said Joe Bracken, head of macro strategies at BT Investment Management BTT 0.81 % in Sydney, suggesting that the hurricane could contribute to quiet trading.
The U.S. dollar was a tad lower against the yen in early trading on Monday, at ¥79.58 from ¥79.66 late New York on Friday, after the greenback retreated 0.8% against the Japanese currency Friday. The market is looking ahead to the Bank of Japan's policy meeting Tuesday, where there are growing expectations that the central bank will expand it is asset-purchase program.
The Australian dollar was lower at $1.0348 amid expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia could cut interest rates again next week. Additionally, a Wall Street Journal report said that the Reserve Bank of Australia is gathering foreign exchange reserves in order to push down the value of the local currency, which could be taken as a sign that policy makers believe the Australian dollar is too strong.
Although markets across the region were able to post modest gains, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was down 0.2% to 21511.05.
Local property developers sharply declined after the territory's government introduced a 15% tax on property purchases by foreign buyers—a measure designed to reduce speculation in the city's property market.
Sun Hung Kai Properties SUHJY -0.31 % dropped 5.1%, Henderson Land Development HLDCY 0.67 % was 6.4% lower and Sino Land SNLAY 0.12 % also lost 6.4%.
Earnings reports helped Chinese banks outperform the broader market weakness. China Construction Bank rose 0.9% after releasing above-view third quarter data, which included a 12% on-year rise in net profit; while Agricultural Bank of China ACGBY 0.99 % advanced 3.1% after releasing above-view third quarter results.
In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite was less than 0.4% to 2058.94 lower due to concerns over third quarter earnings.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average ended flat at 8929.34, as the stronger yen proved a drag in quiet trading ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting.
Electronics company NEC Corp. NIPNF 9.09 % added 5.7% after announcing Friday that its second-quarter net profit rose 38% on-year, while NTT DoCoMo DCM -1.91 % dropped 6% after cutting its guidance for the year.
Honda Motor fell 4.7% after the apparent inadvertent release of its second-quarter earnings at lunchtime, rather than after the market close. The carmaker posted an increase in profit, but at the same time slashed its full-year profit view well below analyst forecasts.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.1% to 4476.90.
South Korea's Kospi Composite was flat at 1891.52.
In Taiwan, phonemaker HTC Crop slumped 7%, hitting the daily limit, after it released negative earnings guidance for the fourth quarter. The troubled electronics company has now lost 55.8% year-to-date.

I'm a huge 49ers fan from Denmark, Europe.
I'm going to visit San Francisco at the end of November, and have arranged tickets for the Jax game on November 29th.
I have rented a car for my visit to San Francisco, but are not sure what to do on gameday.
Is it possible to get any parking spaces around the stadium? If yes how early do we have to be there to be sure?
Or is it better to use public transportation such as bus etc.?
Thanks in advance for any response.
I am looking very much forward to be in Candlestick Park.

Released: Mar 01st, 1996
Running Time: 116
Director: Rodney Moore
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Wolf Savage, Bailey (I), Kelly Jean, Kay O, Annabelle Dayne, Louise Sherry, Chardonnay, Rodney Moore
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Cunt-tinued gynecological gropings with those irrepressible Cumm Brothers, who still don't have a script, but do have more wide-open pussy than they know what to do with. Alabaster-skinned Annabelle Dayne spreads her fleshy posterior for Rodney Moore's anal offensive, and her exquisite white flesh begins turning bright pink as Moore's rodney infiltrates her rectum.
The ever-grinning Wolf Savage tames the sincere-chested blonde Chardonnay with his nonstop tongue, but not before redheaded Louise Sherry parts her ample backside for his exhausted pecker. All the women herein rate as above-average, something we hope will be an ongoing Cumm Brothers attribute.

If the toddler needs help, parents can pick up the second remote and take control of the game. They can then view the progress of their child and even set a timer and save the games, select difficult levels. The controls are very user friendly and just need a tilt or a shake of the remote. Early Educational Skills Sesame Street ABC and 123 are among the popular educational games created by CBS Learning systems. This was specifically targeted at children between the ages of three and six. The 123 game features several games, such as magic shapes and simple math games. Children can learn several skills through these games and use them later on in life.
The educational content of the games are great, as they help children develop excellent skills in math and science and the child gets exposed to different cultures by the media of music and dance combined with languages.
Early educational skills, such as numbers and letters as well as patterns and colors are taught to children, so that it arouses their curiosity about the world around them. Episodes center on alphabets, phonics skills as well as relationships. Many of the games also encourage running and playing or stretching, dancing and so on. Some teach children about nutrition and healthy habits, such as brushing their teeth, covering their nose with a tissue while sneezing and so on. Positive MessagesMany of the Sesame Street games deal with emotions, such as worries, missing a friend and so on, but the message sent out through the Sesame Street Games are positive and very self-affirming for children. Sometimes, the characters could be considered a bit irreverent, such as the Muppet characters. However, they are fun for even older people to watch. The curriculum is continuously evolving and informs children on matters of healthy eating and taking care of the planet as well.
All of these are excellently blended with music and dance.Setting a Gold Standard The Sesame Street show has been going on for decades and is still the gold standard for preschoolers, as it incorporates both educational and social skills through entertainment. After watching the show, families can talk about the episode and what their children learnt from them.
It gives them several creative ideas for playing and activities. A lot of focus is centered on teaching letters, numbers, science as well as conservation. Sesame Street has taught children in this way for generations and today they can play Sesame Street Games as well.

Clean, comfortable room! Unfortunately, we were just there one night and had a cab, so there was no dinner that night. The hotel does have some local places that deliver.
The room was large and bright, but had a funky smell when I opened the door. A little ac took care of that, as well as the airplane noise. The 2xx rooms are actually on the lobby floor, not sure what's below.
The entire place has a piped-in cinnamon scent. It gets overwhelming at times.

ITP posted...as a legal user who is against piracy, I can definitely see the advantages of this system in all areas, despite how it might limit me in some places and annoy me in others. I put up with it because I know the alternative is getting a lot less content on the system, because publisher s and developers do not want to invest in places where their content is compromised.
No one actually knows any numbers aside from the JP ones. if you compare the more popular games' amount of registered trophy players in yourgamercards.net to those of PS3 games, you'll see the difference is not that high.
what does that mean? it means a high attach rate for those games, both for players that sync their trophies and for those that don't, and it means that developing for that Vita is not as bad a business as some here think.
I'm not even mentioning funding assistance from projects like Sony's pub fund and Santa Monica's indie-guidance program.

Ah. Well, I don't import games, so I don't care much for it. I can see how that would be annoying, though.
Tell me about it, if the DS had been region locked, I would not have played 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors or radiant historia, to cite the last imports from memory.

TC you have no idea what your talking about. All the Vita Memory cards are is a Micro SD / M2 card in a different casing with a slightly different connector on the end of it so it will only work in the Vita. There is no security on the cards at all, all of that is in the Vita's OS and content manager. The only reason why you can't access the memory card any other way is because there are no other adapters or readers available to use them in. They're over priced and to make it worse they are very slow compared to most other types of memory cards, games actually load slower from them than the game carts!
Current Playing: Front Mission 4 (I finally imported a USA PS2), Forza Motorsport and Wipeout Series.

ITP posted...Gandalf the Istari posted...They cost at least 2-4x as much as other memory standards of the same size. Overpriced. Period. No argument is valid.
let me re-phrase that so that you will not mistake my meaning:
The SD format (and by extension, the microSD format) suffers (or benefits?) from an overflow of manufacturing companies and brands, including, but not limited to, SanDisk, Hitachi, Toshiba, Kingstone and many others.
as a result of this, there's been a huge inflation in that market over the last 3-4 years, and prices have dropped to ridiculously low price points, that no other format, standardized or proprietary, could hope to compete with.
The other portable memory formats: SSD, CF, XF, MSPD, M2 and some more obscure proprietary ones did not experience this, and as a result their pricing structure remained largely the same, with each technological advancement causing all prices to drop one price point, and the lowest size to dissappear.
this is why a 32GB MSPD costs today in 2012 about half the price of a 1GB MSPD in 2005. and you can expect similar behavior with the Vita's memory tech.
if you can show me any portable format that is NOT the special case of the SD format, in which the pricing is not in line with what Sony is offering, I will be genuinely surprised.

Of course they're over-priced. You'd have to be a blind fool to not comprehend why.

You're kind of ignoring the fact that SD cards are likely used in more mainstream devices than every other format you mentioned combined.
If you can show me a format used in even half as many mainstream devices as SD/Micro SD though, please do. Otherwise I don't understand why I should care what all of these companies who are NEITHER the most major format or cheapest format are doing.
I mean, I could create and market my own memory card for $1000 for 32 GB, but if I only sell 10 of them, why would that reflect negatively on SD cards for being cheaper?
It's a secret to everybody.

(NAPSI)-You knew it would happen someday. You opened the garage door, rolled out your trusty old mower and it gave up the ghost. Now you've got a lawn you could lose a small dog in and you need a way to cut it.
What should you buy? Where should you buy?
Billy Lowe of Snapper, a maker of both residential and commercial lawn mowing products for more than a half century, suggests you ask a few questions and take a look at your options.
1. How big is my yard? Most people who do their own yard care don't want to spend more than an hour to an hour and a half each time they cut the lawn, Lowe says. Small lot? Then a walk-behind, mulching mower could be your best option. Large lot, with plenty of trees? You can cut your mowing time with a rear-engine rider or a zero-turn radius mower. Do you have lots of yard projects? A yard tractor with some optional accessories is just what you need, he advises. Some mowers today-whether walk-behind or riding-are convertible, meaning they can switch from mulching, to bagging to side discharge with a few adjustments. This feature gives consumers three mowers in one and extends the value of the purchase.
2. Who mows the grass? If the only exercise you get is mowing the lawn each week or you have a teenager who needs a workout, then either a push or self-propelled walk-behind is a good choice. While tractors and rear-engine riders cut down on the exercise, it is important that they be used only by those old enough to operate and control the equipment safely.
3. What should I look for? A good mower is an investment that will last for many mowing seasons. Look for an engine with between a 4.5 and 6 horsepower on a walk-behind mower, while riding mowers can vary between eight and 18 horsepower. Try out the controls and make sure they are easy to operate. Drive that riding mower. Make sure everyone who will use it can comfortably reach the foot pedals and operate all systems. Solid steel decks, convertibility, available options, accessories and ease of maintenance should be considered when making a mower purchase, Lowe says.
4. Where should I buy my mower? You can buy a mower just about anyplace today from the Internet to the local hardware store to the big-box home center. While price is important, it's not the only thing to look for when buying a mower. Look for value and service after the sale. Independent power equipment dealers are experts in small engines and can help you decide just what you need. They have most models fully assembled and aren't afraid to let you try them out. Independent dealers will assemble and deliver your new purchase to your door and even show you how to get it started and keep it running. Like your car, lawnmowers work hard and need some TLC. If you buy from an independent dealer, he or she will be there for service, warranty work, parts and accessories long after the sale.
Think through your purchase and you'll have season after season of lawn care pleasure, reminds Lowe.
For more lawn care tips, information on Snapper equipment or for a list of independent dealers, contact Snapper at 1-800-Snapper or visit us on the World Wide Web at www.snapper.com .

The Right to Slur the Gays
I knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it suck less: Today the Los Angeles Times reported on the growing movement of conservative Christians willing to sue for the right to discriminate against gays. From the Times:
The religious right aims to overturn a broad range of common tolerance programs: diversity training that promotes acceptance of gays and lesbians, speech codes that ban harsh words against homosexuality, anti-discrimination policies that require college clubs to open their membership to all.
At the center of the Times story is Ruth Malhotra, a 22-year-old student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which officially bans slurs based on sexual orientation. "Malhotra sees that as an unacceptable infringement on her right to religious expression," says the Times, and so Malhotra's suing, in hopes of forcing Georgia Tech to revoke its tolerance policy.
I could go off for miles about the "stop oppressing my oppression!" school of Christian victimization (of which Ken Hutcherson is a master practitioner.) But it's far more fun to share this most vibrant example of gay slurring found in my inbox this morning. (Sic throughout.)
Hey man, mu brother just sent me a link to your goddamn fish rapper…wow what a bunch of bullshit do you guys all eat each others ashole in that town to??? What in the FUCK man! He said "Dude you won't believe how gay this town is!" sure enough you sound like a frickin' fruit parade or something? Suck dick much???? The dude in the sling is that you or your boyfriend? Man you fags are something else but I supose it's all Bush's fault huh you aids infected dick bag? Christians have fuckin had it with your shit celean up your street and close down you fag clubs and then get back in the closet oh I guess you'll be in a cofin soon enough with aids. Faggot. I CANNOT BELIVE my brother moved to such a fag town oh well he makes more money than YOU (guranteed!) so he'll pay more taxes and maybe just habe all your pussy ass places where you shit on each other closed down do you think aids is just a coincidece? GOD FUCKING HATES YOU MAN!!!!!!! Fucking fags my brother is right it's time to send all of you to a island and then nuke the fuckin island! GO live in France pussy you faggots!!!!
Here's hoping "Go live in France, pussy you faggots!!!" becomes the hot new rallying cry of anti-gay Christians everywhere.

Andre Dubus III
A sense of impending doom pervades the work of writer Andre Dubus III. In House of Sand and Fog, which was made into a 2003 Oscar-nominated film, a desperate young American woman and a proud Iranian military man destroy one another's lives as they battle for ownership of a house that becomes a symbol for everything she's lost and everything he's worked for. A similar series of tragic misunderstandings and miscommunications drives his latest novel, The Garden of Last Days (W.W. Norton & Co.). Told from a multitude of perspectives—including those of a stripper, an elderly widow, a three-year-old child, a bouncer, and a terrorist—the story contrasts a deeply personal crisis with a national tragedy about to unfold. Dubus spent months researching Saudi Arabian culture and the 9/11 hijackers to pen this tale, which uses the standard thriller plot of a kidnapping as a launching point to explore a quieter, far more malevolent threat lurking in plain sight. The author will be on hand to read from and discuss his latest book, now in paperback, at the Loft. He will be introduced by Shawn Lawrence Otto, the multi-talented Minnesotan who adapted House of Sand and Fog for the screen with director Vadim Perelman.

The importance of an integrated approach involving synthetic chemistry, physical chemistry, and chemical engineering to the development of new thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for the production of thin-film electronic materials is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on choosing precursor molecules with facile thermal decomposition pathways that lead to pure films at low temperatures. Two examples from our laboratories, the deposition of copper from trialkylphosphine cyclopentadienyl copper complexes and the deposition of gallium nitride from diethylgallium azide, are used to illustrate the principles of precursor selection, the design factors for the construction of thermal CVD reactors, and the selection of processing conditions that optimize production of the desired material. In addition, new work on the thermal CVD of copper using an advanced reactor and examples of selective copper deposition and conformal copper deposition using the reactor are presented.

The hotel was located 3 minutes from a troley stop in addition to being close to shops and restaurants.
The 25 dollars/day parking fee per vehicle was excessive, especially considering there did not appear to be anybody patroling the parking lot in the evening. I plan on staying at this hotel in the future, but will park across the street..

Fans Just Have to Weather The Storm
Published: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 4:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 4:52 a.m.
Not only did the lightning delay at Thursday's football game at Haines City and several more across the county Friday night give people time to talk, but the situation raised several questions and concerns about scheduling and game interruptions.
So let's address some.
First of all, people feeling inconvenienced need to realize lightning is a serious issue and we do live in the lightning capital of the world. Several years ago, a student was killed when a storm erupted during a Frostproof football practice, forcing the players into the locker room, and he was out on the field alone.
"It was a sad thing and you don't forget things like that," Polk County athletic director Don Bridges said.
Second of all, the county bus schedule was changed this year, which in turn moved the start time of county football games from 7 p.m. to 7:30.
"We have plenty of buses, but school gets out later," Bridges said. "Last year, we could get a school bus (for athletic events) at 4:30 p.m., and this year we can't get buses until 5:30. Middle schools get out later. It has nothing to do with the high schools. The buses have to run middle school routes, and the earliest we could be promised a bus would be 5:15 p.m. on a perfect day.
"We are one of the few counties in the state that didn't play at 7:30 p.m. anyway. Basically, we have school for academics. When the school day is over, that is when buses are available."
Thirdly, the athletic directors are equipped with lightning detectors and are not overreacting by stopping or delaying the start of games.
"What (Bridges) did several years ago was outfit every AD with lightning detectors and training," Frostproof athletic director Chuck Loveless said. "We were actually trained on these detectors by the people who supplied them and given a PowerPoint (presentation)on the dos and don'ts of lightning. The storm we had (Friday night) was a very dangerous storm."
And finally, the high schools adhere to the National Federation of State High School Association rules concerning lightning and act accordingly.
So this is how we arrived at this week's delays, which shouldn't be shocking to anyone because we experienced several delays last year during 7 p.m. start times, and this is the 10th anniversary of the four hurricanes that slammed Florida, when it seemed the football season would never get fully underway.
"It's just Florida, and we are going to have weather delays the first five weeks of the season, we always do," Bridges said. "If you looked at the radar (Friday) night, it was just all over the state and it's going to be that way for five weeks."
So what can be done, if anything?
A year ago, I was sitting in the press box at Lake Region during an August storm delay thinking football start times need to be pulled back to 6 p.m. the first few weeks of the season — or at least for the preseason clashes — to ensure there's enough buffer time when a delay occurs.
Sure, some parents and fans would be rushed and miss the beginning of the first few games, but what is the ultimate goal? Are we trying to play football, ensure safety, bring in big-gate receipts, keep everyone happy, which cannot be accomplished anyway, or all of the above?
As all these thoughts and scenarios raced through my head this weekend, I realized there was no perfect solution. There were pros and cons to every proposal.
"For some schools (preseason games) are a big moneymaker," Bridges said. "For Lakeland and Lake Gibson, it is a moneymaker. Plant and Armwood played (Friday) night, that's a moneymaker."
How about Saturday? Maybe the preseason games should be played on Saturday morning.
"This time of year, the kids have been practicing in the morning, so why not play in morning?" Loveless said. "You are going to get the game in, there is no threat of storms and it is what the (players) have been used to."
It could work. There were many Saturday high school games across the country played yesterday, with big gates, and many were on national television.
So maybe it would just take a little bit of out-of-the-box thinking to promote some games locally, and the big gates could grow even larger.

Hey, how'd this mug end up on that mug?
English soccer fans hoping to pick up a commemorative set of mugs featuring the faces of the country's World Cup squad received an unexpected surprise – the image of President Barack Obama where defender Chris Smalling should have been.
No, Obama wasn't a last-minute substitution by English manager Roy Hodgson; the U.S. president lacks a "clear connection" to England and thus is ineligible to join the squad under FIFA regulations.
The Dorset-based merchandiser blamed the mistake on one of their junior associates.
"They passed this onto the young, bright-eyed and bushy tailed new apprentice," managing director Karl Baxter said in a statement. "The designs were proofed and signed off by [his] boss, who clearly had a heavy night with the lads playing poker and before he'd had his first vat of coffee the following morning."
Wholesale Clearance previously took in 5,000 commemorative plates produced to celebrate the birth of a royal princess that didn't happen in 2013. The company says the Obama mugs are selling like hotcakes.
English defender Chris Smalling, the man Obama replaced, has played zero World Cup minutes so far and has never won statewide (nor federal office in the U.S.).

Nobody on this board said the wcc had a richer tournament history than the PAC.
As a matter of fact, you're the first one posting. The fact that you feel
the need to substantiate your conference superiority makes your comment insecure
at best.
Shame the haters on the hill don't have a team to follow in the postseason. Too much free time for the trolls to obsess about all things byu. The inferiority complex is suffocating.

Mount Olympus:
"Gonzaga loses to Wichita State...Oregon and Arizona go to the Sweet 16."
Correct you are Mt. Olympus! I thought I'd check out a few of these articles to get little brother's take on this. I seem to recall a DNews article 5 days ago ('Utah basketball: Utes had strong showing at Pac-12 tourney') where one of them -- midWACmajor -- commented:
"Quality > Quantity...The best WCC team is ranked #1/#1 and is a #1 seed...The best PAC team is ranked #21/#20 and is a #6 seed."
And as you pointed out, that #6 seed will be joining our Pac-12 Tournament Champion in the Sweet 16, while Gonzaga will be joining the rest of the WCC watching Arizona and Oregon taking on Ohio St. and Louisville (2 relevant teams from relevant conferences) this Thursday and Friday.
But I guess we'll have to wait a little longer before midWACmajor can spin this.

Mount Olympus, to be fair and correct you, yes the WCC has had a team in the
Final Four, the Dons won back to back titles from Bill Russell.
But that was more than 55 years ago. This year they were quite overrated, as was apparent by halftime of Thursday's game. And it's now obvious that the PAC-12 was pretty underrated. Typically, a 12 seed making the Final Four would be a huge story and big surprise, but I don't think anyone would be as surprised with Oregon doing it this year because they are a quality program that was dealt terribly by the selection committee.

A tenth place PAC-12 team also beat Washington worse than Oregon. That tenth place PAC-12 school also beat Oregon. Oregon also beat the tenth place PAC-12 school. Is that evidence that the PAC-12 is inferior to the PAC-12?
