Intel's Broadwell chip delayed
Intel's third-quarter results modestly beat expectations, but its current-quarter revenue outlook fell short and it warned that production of its upcoming Broadwell processors was delayed.
The world's top chipmaker is betting that its current Haswell PC processor with improved battery life will boost sales for the rest of 2013, beyond the typically strong third quarter when PC manufacturers buy chips in anticipation of holiday demand.
But preparations for the Broadwell chip, which will succeed Haswell, have fallen behind projections by about three months due to technical setbacks, Brian Krzanich told analysts on a conference call following Intel's quarterly report on Tuesday.
He said production of the Broadwell chips, based on the 14 nanometer technology that is ahead of rivals' technology, will not begin until the first quarter.
"We and our (manufacturing) partners have a strong desire to get Broadwell to the market," Krzanich said. "This is a small blip in the schedule."
Chief financial officer Stacy Smith said the delay would not affect gross margins in the fourth quarter or impact the competitiveness of Intel's product lineup.
"We're not happy with the one-quarter push but it does point to how difficult these problems are to solve," he told Reuters.
Much of Intel's strength has historically come from its chip manufacturing technology, which is the most advanced in the world and is ahead of rivals by around two years.
Broadwell's delay should have little impact on Intel's sales, said FBR analyst Chris Rolland, although he added that investors were sensitive to any hint of technology trouble at the chipmaker.
"For these guys, their competitive advantage is based on manufacturing. It's certainly a small setback. You don't want to screw with timetables, and you don't want to screw with Moore's law," Rolland said.
With consumers increasingly favoring tablets and smartphones, Intel is wrestling with a slowdown in its core PC market while trying to make inroads in low-power mobile devices.
Adapting to the slow PC industry, Intel also trimmed its 2013 capital expenditure target to $10.8 billion, plus or minus $300 million, from $11 billion, plus or minus $500 million.
Since taking the helm in May, Krzanich has pushed to improve Intel's offering of chips for mobile devices. It recently announced a lineup of ultra-small chips for wearable devices, which are growing more popular.
Intel dominates the PC industry but it was slow to adapt its chips for low-power mobile gadgets like smartphones and tablets.
Krzanich has promised Intel's new Bay Trail mobile chip would find its way into a slew of tablets, but it is still unclear how much progress is being made and how much those mobile chips, which sell for less than Intel's latest PC chips, may affect its gross margins.
Some analysts believe the PC industry's troubles are already baked into the price of Intel's stock, which has risen about 14 percent in 2013, less than the Standard & Poor's 500's increase of 20 percent.
Intel shares trade at 12 times expected earnings, only slightly less than rival Qualcomm Inc's at 14 times earnings.
The company said its gross margin in the third quarter was 62.4%, and it forecast 61% for the fourth quarter. Analysts had expected 60.92% for the third quarter and 60.98% for the fourth quarter.
Intel posted net earnings of $2.95 billion, or 58 cents a share, compared to $2.97 billion, or 58 cents share, in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had expected earnings per share of 53 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue was $13.48 billion, barely changed from $13.46 billion in the year-ago quarter. Intel forecast revenue of $13.7 billion, plus or minus $500 million for the current fourth quarter.
Analysts had expected $13.463 billion in revenue for the third quarter and $14.004 billion for the fourth quarter.
Shares of Intel were down 2.31% in extended trade after closing down 0.26% at $23.39 on Nasdaq.

Appropriately, the highlight of Pulcinella Mozzarella Bar e Ristorante is its namesake.
The restaurant serves three kinds of mozzarella: traditional buffalo (made with the milk of water buffalo), smoked mozzarella, and burrata, a plump purse of the cheese crammed with full-fat cream. Put together your own antipasto platter with any of these.
Owner and chef Giovanni Oliva opened Pulcinella Mozzarella Bar in the North End last August (he also owns Trattoria Pulcinella in Cambridge). The idea in the North End is that mozzarella, cured meats, vegetables, savory nibbles like dark olives, and crusty bread can be more engaging than a traditional dinner. But the chef also offers entrees and dessert, so the antipasto can be an appetizer or your entire meal. And while the mozzarella bar works successfully, many of the entrees and pastas do not.
Pulcinella Mozzarella Bar sits in a tight rectangle of North End real estate. White walls, a gray marble floor, and dark wood tables give the space, which seats about 40, a sleek, modern look without the warmth of a homey trattoria. The bar has only four stools, next to tall windows that look out onto Salem Street. On a weekend night, the room is lively and loud, but not deafening.
If you're ordering the mozzarella antipasto, decide on the kind of cheese or better yet, try all three. Then figure out the cured meats: prosciutto, salami, mortadella, speck, porchetta, bresaola, and order vegetables like grilled eggplant, roasted tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, black olives, red peppers, and beets glazed with balsamic vinegar.
When the platter arrives, the result is a riot of color and flavors, centered around two white, fist-size mounds of buffalo mozzarella and burrata. Triangles of thickly cut smoked mozzarella are tucked into the corners. Traditional mozzarella is tangy, the burrata is soft, light, and creamy, and bites of smoked mozzarella deliver nuttier tastes. The cheeses have been sitting out since the morning, so you get them at room temperature, which brings out the best flavors.
Blood-red folds of rich Parma prosciutto, sliced leaf thin, and pink slices of porchetta nestle between the cheeses. A fat chunk of mortadella, studded with pistachios, is mild and soft. Salami slices burst with heavy, full-fat saltiness. Piles of vegetables dot the plate. Green drizzles of olive oil and inky balsamic snake over everything.
Earthy, sauteed crimini mushrooms set you up for the next delivery of fat. Sugary slabs of peppers complement the milky sweetness of the cheese. Smear a scoop between two slices of salami in a mini sandwich, mix in some mushrooms and smoky red peppers, or build yourself a burrata and vegetable bruschetta.
Olivia imports the cheeses from Naples. Meat purveyors include Seattle's Salumi Artisan Cured Meats (owned by Mario Batali's father, Armandino) and Cre-minelli Fine Meats in Salt Lake City.
You can dine on that platter or have a more conventional dinner beginning with an appetizer. The best of the starters is stuffed zucchini blossoms, wrapped with mozzarella, breaded, and fried. When they arrive on a bed of greens, they look like two croquettes. Cut them open and warm cheese oozes out.
A Pulcinella salad — mixed greens, tomatoes, shavings of buffalo mozzarella, olives — is mesclun with a little bite from arugula, dressed with a generous splash of olive oil and balsamic.
But where the antipasto rocks, the entrees plod. Veal piccata and pork tenderloin in a pomegranate sauce both sound appealing. Lemony juices with capers on the small serving of piccata seem promising, until a bite of the meat reveals that this thin cut is dry and overcooked. A sweet pomegranate glaze with the pork doesn't help meat that should have come off the fire sooner.
Ragu di nonna, a dish of pasta, sauce, sausage, and veal suffers from the same problem. Twists of farfalle are al dente and tasty in a sweet, garlicky tomato sauce. Sweet Italian sausage, from Di Paolo & Rossi Meat Market several storefronts away on Salem Street, is well-seasoned and snaps with freshness. But a lean and skinny strip of veal, curled from overcooking, requires concentrated chewing.
A user-friendly gnocchi alla sorrentina, with tomato sauce, comes out of the dish with long strands of melted mozzarella. Ravioli stuffed with spinach and buffalo mozzarella is al dente, but the pasta is lost under a blanket of heavy tomato sauce thickened with mascarpone. An intensely garlicky linguini con vongole in white sauce overpowers the clams; there's also too much olive oil.
The main dish that shines is a thick, liberally salted veal chop, crusty on the outside, pink and juicy within. It comes with a bright, lively marsala sauce, a creamy mash, and bitter collard greens. The bone demands to be gnawed.
The meal picks back up at dessert, especially with chocolate mocha budino, a dish of dark Valrhona chocolate pudding with a spot of cream on top. The budino is creamy and light but intense with chocolate.
The grazing opportunities at Pulcinella are endless, and turn into a satisfying meal. Multiple little dishes is the way to eat here.Fluto Shinzawa can be reached at email@example.com.

During the course of a year, hundreds of articles on teaching and learning pass by my eyes via my inbox, Twitter, conferences, etc. I read many of them, and also try to stay current with the many wonderful resources available at Penn State. The challenge is how to provide the most useful of these resources to faculty in a timely fashion – especially at the moment of need. The result is a new series called Read About. . . in which each issue focuses on one issue and provides one page of annotated resources. The first three have been created and are now available on our website in the Faculty Toolkit: ReadAboutAcademic Integrity.docx ReadAboutSRTEs.docx and ReadAboutClassroomManagement.docx.
I hope you find them helpful, and would love if you share other topics in which you would like a Read About. . . created.

Matt Groves seems somewhat surprised to find himself director of digital and integration at Fallon.
Hardly lacking the experience for it, having set up his own boutique web agency, 64k, in the early days of the internet (when dial-up was cutting edge technology and Mark Zuckerberg just a school boy), and worked for some of the biggest names in advertising, he still believes he's spent most of his career on the periphery of the industry. To become a central part of it now feels unusual.
"I've followed quite a non-traditional route into the industry. Advertising is very generational; you have to earn your place. Usually you spend time working your way up but I've come at it from a different angle. It can be difficult to earn the right to be part of that sometimes."
This may or may not be down to his reputation as the digital Winston Wolf (Harvey Keitel's character in Pulp Fiction). Groves is the man you call in to "solve problems".
He describes his route into advertising as "a long old journey". With a self-confessed rebellious streak, he passed up places at university to go travelling on an extended gap year (or five). He has little regret in missing out on any formal training, though, and if anything, a lack of knowledge of the rules or traditions he may have learned at university has made it easier to bypass them in his career, he believes. "I am probably where I am now because of that."
His first exposure to the ad industry came about when he began working as a freelance designer for a number of London agencies on his return. "I was working on weird stuff like packaging for Sindy dolls," he says.
In 1994, he created his first website; an epiphany moment which changed his life. Months later, he set up 64K with £3,000 on his credit card. "Before I knew it, I had 20 people working directly with and alongside advertising agencies, for brands like Nescafe, Cadbury, Schweppes and Yoplait. Back then, I never thought the tangent off into the digital world would lead me to where I am now."
He considers himself lucky to have been around in this classic dotcom era alongside start-ups like AKQA and Razorfish. "It was an exciting time and it still is too. We've gone through that first stage and now it's becoming a bit more serious. Maybe a bit more corporate, but that's no bad thing," he says, pointing out that new trends produce new agencies, such as We Are Social.
Life soon changed. "After a few years working with ad agencies and having my own agency, I knew that one day the big agencies would have to take it all a bit more seriously," he says.
After eight years of 64K, Groves folded the agency into McCann Erickson, where he then set up and lead its digital operations - a conscious effort on his part to understand how a conventional ad agency works.
After four years, Groves took another new direction, becoming a partner at digital production company unit9 and learning high-end digital production. This was followed by a move to San Francisco and Goodby, Silverstein and Partners as director of digital development, before ending up back in the UK with Fallon.
Groves may see himself as an outsider, but he has seen the industry from all sides; a useful perspective in his current Fallon role overseeing integration. And he no longer sees himself as digital. "The word digital is there just to define what you're talking about. At the end of the day, what I'm doing at Fallon is helping understand what the impact of technology is on the agency and on advertising."
He describes his job as simply encouraging people to understand technology's role in advertising, or, as he puts it, "Zen and the art of digital". If the industry can get its head around that, then "we'll be in pretty good shape," he predicts.
"The excitement of technology is that it doesn't stand still. There's no way of predicting where it will go, but it will continue moving and developing and a lot of that will be down to people," Groves notes. "Compared to people in the industry now who need to adapt and learn all this, there's a whole new generation coming through that has always had technology as part of their lives."
His four-year-old son is a perfect example of this: happily using an iPad, he plays the Toyota "back seat driver" app. Kids can virtually drive the same route as the driver via GPS, with the addition of animated scenery and games.
There are clearly parallels between the generations. It wasn't so long ago that Groves was spending his teenage years playing classic games such as Donkey Kong and Pac-Man and learning computing on an early Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Look where he is now.

Florida health officials are urging swimmers to steer clear of stagnant water, which could be home to millions of microscopic killers.
Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba invisible to the naked eye, loves to lurk in warm, standing water, according to a warning released by the Florida Department of Health. And while it's usually harmless, it can cause a fatal brain infection if inhaled through the nose.
"Wear nose clips, hold your nose shut or keep your head out of the water when swimming, jumping or diving in any freshwater," the department said in a health alert. "Closing your nostrils may reduce your chance of becoming infected."
Brain-Eating Amoeba Eyed in Death of Minnesota Child
While exceedingly rare, Naegleria fowleri infections are almost always fatal. Only one person out of 128 infected in the United States between 1962 and 2012 has survived, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes death within about five days," the agency's website reads.
Early symptoms include a severe frontal headache, fever, nausea and vomiting, according to the CDC. But those can swiftly give way to a stiff neck, seizures, confusion and hallucinations - and the amoeba makes its way up through the nasal cavity to the brain.
Naegleria was eyed in the death of a Minnesota child last summer, when the state experienced a heat wave. And in the summer of 2011, the amoeba killed four people in Virginia, Florida, Kansas and Louisiana, all of whom had been swimming in freshwater lakes.
The CDC offers the following tips for summer swimmers:
Hold your nose shut or keep your head above water;
Avoid swimming in warm, fresh water during periods of high water temperature and low water levels;
Avoid stirring up sediment in shallow freshwater areas.

BlackBerry Empathy by Kiki Tang and Daniel Yoon
Remember mood rings? Well, this touchscreen phone works a bit like that, except it's not naff. A biometrics ring works alongside the hexagonal phone to collect your "emotional data". Your emotional status is then transmitted to a social network-style system, which by the time this phone makes it into production will be some kind of super platform that obliterates Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. User avatars are surrounded by two rings that show your previous and current emotional state, with an Emotional Health Chart on hand to put it all into a handy timeline. An optional feature allows friends to view your chart – but would you really want them to know you were bored senseless while they prattled on about their new girlfriend? Probably not. An OLED screen that becomes transparent when not in use and opaque when it senses interaction sounds pretty nifty, though.
Windows 7 Concept phone by Lin Jin Feng
If you don't mind sacrificing pocket space or are fed up with phone manufacturers intent on making everything thinner, this bulky number, pitched as a "super computer in our palms", might sate your appetite. It sports a mahoosive display, mouse-like controls, multimedia shortcuts, Windows 7 and a slide out keyboard – but not in the traditional sense. It slides out sideways to form a full size keyboard, which coupled with the pivoting screen transforms the phone into a mini computer. Reminds us of the Nokia 6820 – those were the days...
iPhone 5 by Michal Bonikowski
Ever since the dawn of the iPhone, Apple-shaped concepts have been rife, ranging from realistic to downright insane. This iPhone 5 concept is the former – there's nothing outlandish about it. In fact, this sleek, drool-worthy take on the impending iPhone 5 is pretty plausible, while remaining loyal to the much-loved iPhone aesthetic. Interestingly, it features a few cosmetic features rumoured to be iPhone 5 bound, like an iPad 2-style brushed aluminium casing and a return to the curved behind. The biggest change, though, is the disposal of the mechanical home button for a touch sensitive one. We'll find out how close this concept comes to the real thing when the real iPhone 5 stands up in September.
Rotary Mechanical Smartphone by Richard Clarkson
A combination of brass detailing with modern mobile technology sees a smartphone that caters to lovers of vintage revival and modern day functionality. We're not sure old fashioned rotary dials on smartphones are the future, but this steampunk guise does a marvellous job of disguising its techie undercoat. A combination of interchangeable brass dials, a true rotary dial and a button dial, coupled with electroplated copper and a lick of paint, completes its retro look. There's no mention of what lies beneath apart from a small screen at the back, which looks more Nokia circa 98 than iPhone. But if you love all things steampunk and miss the tactile satisfaction of the rotary dial, it's a winner. Shame it will probably never see the light of day.
Flip phone by Kristian Ulrich Larson
Flip phone has been given a whole new meaning. Crave more screen estate? You got it - this phone has three. Each flexible AMOLED touchscreen is complimented by a keyboard on the reverse, so it's the perfect solution for serial multitaskers. It's triangular body may prove difficult to grapple with when taking a call, but propping the phone up for movies, messages and alarm clock functionality will be effortless. Getting it in your pocket might not be so easy, though. Screens can combine to form a super screen when you're craving more screen real estate - perfect for web browsing or checking out snaps. And with Android running the show, the Flip Phone sounds like a media junkie's dream.

Research on the authenticity of the Zapruder film has been proceeding at a rapid clip since the symposium on the film, which I organized and moderated at the Lancer Conference in 1996. It includes Noel Twyman, BLOODY TREASON (1998), ASSASSINATION SCIENCE (1998), MURDER IN DEALEY PLAZA (2000), and THE GREAT ZAPRUDER FILM HOAX (2003), all of which I edited. Since the film has been used as the backbone of the cover up from its inception--including the creation of the "blob" of brains bulging forward, the missing right-front cranial mass from the x-rays, the caption for frame 313 in LIFE magazine describing how the direction of the shot was determined by the study of the film, and Abraham Zapruder's appearance on television that evening, using his hand to show a blow-out to the right-front that did not occur--it is extremely fortunate that Doug Horne, INSIDE THE ARRB (2009)--in five volumes--did not follow the advice of some and suppress his research on the film. Indeed, one of the great virtues of Vol. IV is its exposure of film fakery.
ZAPRUDER FAKERY 1 - James Fetzer Part 1
Let me say that Doug Horne has been extremely generous in acknowledging the previous work by Jack White, David Mantik, David Healy, John Costella, and David Lifton, who are among those who have made the most important contributions to establishing that the Z-film has been recreated. After all, anyone who takes for granted that the film is authentic--as have generations of students of the crime in generations past--will be unable to reconstruct what actually happened in Dealey Plaza during the assassination, since some events--such as William Greer bringing the limousine to a halt to make certain JFK would be killed, Motorcycle Patrolman Chaney's motoring forward to advise Chief Curry that he had been shot, and Mary Moorman and Jean Hill's stepping into the street to take Mary's famous Polariod--have been removed, while other events--such as the bulging "blob", the blood spray, and the passengers being thrown forward WHILE THE LIMO WAS ACCELERATING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PULLED BACK--have been added in. Horne's studies reinforce these discoveries.
I especially like the manner in which Doug Horne encourages other students of JFK to abandon their long-held but provably-false belief in Zapruder film authenticity:
The biggest problem we face right now in the JFK research community are the legions of "old guard" researchers who refuse to face this fact [that the Z-film has been fabricated] and who stubbornly cling to some piece of "bedrock evidence", which in their mind will lead them out of the wilderness if only they study it long enough and can divine its true meaning. For Thompson, Wrone, Weisberg, Groden, and may others, the Zapruder film has been this piece of bedrock evidence for over four decades. I say to the old guard who have continued to insist that the Zapruder film is an authentic and unaltered film in spite of the mounting evidence of its alteration, "Come on over, and see the light." You will feel better for having done so--in fact, it will liberate you. Once you accept the fact that the Zapruder film is a clever (but imperfect) forgery, you are free suddenly to believe the Dealey Plaza car stop witnesses (which include several Dallas motorcycle policemen and Bill Newman); Marily Sitzman; the Kodak laboratory personnel (who all say the original film was slit the evening of the assassination); Marilyn Willis; Erwin Schwartz; Cartha DeLoach; Dan Rather; and the Parkland doctors and nurses. For if you believe the Zapruder film is authentic, you must, of necessity, believe that all of these people are either liars, or incompetent and unreliable witnesses.
Following the lead of Noel Twyman, BLOODY TREASON (1997), who consulted Roderick Ryan, an expert on special effects from the cinema capitol of the world, who told him that the "blob" and the blood spray had been painted in, Doug Horne consulted additional experts on special effects and reported that, "When the 6K scans of frames 313 through 323 were viewed, one after the other on two high resolution video screens in the editing bay, Ned Price (who just happens to also be the Head of Restoration at a major Hollywood film studio) said: "Oh, that's horrible, that's just terrible! That's such a bad fake." His colleague, Paul Rutan, opined: "We are not looking at opticals; we are looking at artwork." (By this, Rutan meant we were not looking at traveling mattes; we were looking at painted visual effects superimposed on top of the original film frames--by inference, he meant aerial imaging.) The film editor concurred with his two colleagues. To say that this was an electrifying moment would be a gross understatement.
The considered opinions of our two film restoration professionals, who together have spent over five decades restoring and working with films of the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s (when visual effects were done optically--not digitally), in that one moment superseded the statements of all those in the JFK research community who have insisted for two decades now that the Zapruder film could not have been altered, because the technology did not exist to do so. Our two restoration experts know special effects in modern motion picture films far better than Josiah Thompson, or David Wrone, or Gary Mack, or Robert Groden, or me, for that matter; and their subjective opinion [better: professional judgment] trumps Rollie Zavada's as well--a man who has absolutely no experience whatsoever in the post production of visual effects in motion picture films. And while Rollie Zavada, a lifetime Kodak employee receiving retirement pay from his former employer, would certain have an apparent conflict of interest in blowing the whistle on Zapruder film forgery if his former employer was involved in its alteration, our three Hollywood film professionals had no vested interest, one way or the other, in the outcome of their examination of the 6Kscans on August 25th of 2009.
Those who do not understand the evidence resist it, but if this had been the only contribution of Doug Horne's research toward a better understanding of the assassination of JFK and its cover up, it would have been worth the price of the volume by itself! I am completely and utterly in awe and admiration for his painstaking efforts and meticulous research on the most controversial aspects of the case, where I believe that it has become impossible to deny that the film is a fabrication and that the cover up cannot be understood--even remotely!--without rejecting the blindfold extended by Josiah Thompson, David Wrone, Gary Mack, Rollie Zavada and their chums and allies, who have held back major advances in assassination research on the basis of their misconceived objections to the alteration of the film. I therefore agree with Bill Kelly in his belief that "the corner has been turned" in relation to the question of Zapruder film alteration. Jack White, David Mantik, Noel Twyman, David Healy, John Costella, David Lifton and I have known it for some time, but there is no substitute for a presentation that anyone with the capacity for objectivity can comprehend! For that--and for his diligence, his dedication, his intelligence, his self-sacrifice, and his professionalism--I congratulate him!

Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies Turing Test Transcript for Terminal 5
Can machines think? Alan Turing's decades-old question still influences artificial intelligence because of the simple test he proposed in his article in Mind. In this article, "AI Magazine collects presentations about the first round of the classic Turing Test of machine intelligence, held November 8, 1991 at The Computer Museum, Boston. Robert Epstein, Director Emeritus, Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, and an adjunct professor of psychology, Boston University, University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and University of California (San Diego) summarizes some of the difficult issues during the planning of this first real-time competition, and describes the event. He then speculates about the future of the competition and about its significance to the AI community. Presented in tandem with Dr. Epstein's article is the actual transcript of session that won the Loebner Prize Competition -- Joseph Weintraub's computer program PC Therapist.

The most powerful weapon in "Dead Space 3" is the music. Though no more than a soundtrack, it's the sound of violin strings — and not ghastly space creatures — that provide the tension here. The instruments are pulled so tight that at times it feels as if the simple movement of a character might bring the world crashing down.
The music, a scraping, needling sound poking the listener, is constantly asking the player questions: What's breathing in that vent? What's ruffling behind that door? Are you really sure you want to enter that corridor?
The answer is rarely as enthralling as the setup. The thing in the vent is a reanimated corpse, and it maybe has tentacles, or it may have scythe-like arms. You will shoot them and then stomp on them, and then use whatever they were carrying to build better weapons to shoot them and stomp on them more efficiently.
"Dead Space 3" is ultimately trying to do two things. It wants to scare, but it wants to provide near-relentless thrills – zero-gravity shootouts, disorientating snowstorms, cliff-scaling and death-defying jumps from trains to spaceships. As impressive and well-orchestrated as these scenes are, "Dead Space 3" forgot an important component of what it takes to inspire fright: One must care.
The series, published by Electronic Arts, is a long way removed from where it began in 2008. The first "Dead Space" played out as an "Alien"-inspired survival horror game. A distress call was answered, a ship was boarded and hero Isaac Clarke, who the gamer controlled then and now, suddenly found himself hunted by a creature known as a Necromorph, the results of something akin to an alien virus that manifests itself by reanimating and manipulating dead flesh. Necromorphs are the perfect hybrid between zombies and aliens, and they spring from monolithic-like markers.
All of the above turned Clarke's comfortable universe — a spaceship — into something completely unknown. In "Dead Space 3," however, Clarke is the universe's last hope, an action movie star ready for his close-up. This time, Necromorphs are everywhere, a religious cult perplexingly believes the creatures are the future of humanity and Earth is essentially descending into chaos. Clarke is recruited — against his will — to go Necromorph-a-huntin' and save the world.
And thus, despite the horror film trappings — the creaky-door effects, the alien-zombies crawling 'Exorcist'-like out of vents — "Dead Space 3" has become primarily an action-heavy shooter. It's one with landscapes that Ridley Scott fans could appreciate, but a shooter nevertheless. To wit, one of the main additions to "Dead Space 3" is the ability to craft your own weapons from scraps found around the universe. No doubt this will appeal to many who seek customization when it comes to digital guns, but the Boy Scout-like chore of searching every room for junk and then following blueprints to assemble a super-weapon kills some of what "Dead Space" does best, which is set a mood.
As the series has progressed from its survival horror roots, so has the game's lore. "Dead Space 3" has a central villain, a human cult leader named Jacob Danik. It deeper adds a conspiratorial nature to the sci-fi mystery, but the continued emphasis on Danik's Church of Unitology, which seems to come and go as missions need to be expanded or given detours, adds complex layers between Clarke and his mission and ultimately desensitizes the gamer to the world and Clarke's plight.
There's no shortage of extremists, cult leaders or even brand managers who can seduce people to blindly believe a cause, but as Clarke battles Danik's men in one of the game's many plot twists, one can't help but wonder why all the Unitology faithful — confused humans, mostly — are seemingly OK with corpse-eating-and-inhabiting creatures. The elements that spawn the Necromorphs, the markers, cause hallucinations and insanity, sure, but brainwashing seems an easy out when so many lives are at stake.
This is the point where the question of whether this is any fun becomes more difficult to answer. The controls have never been more refined, Clarke has never been more mobile, and "Dead Space 3" does a good job varying the pace and keeping gamers curious as to what kind of landscape Clarke will forage through next, be it a subway, an icy planet or an assortment of busted spaceships. Technologically, everything is in its proper place here. There's also a certain amount of empowering joy in blasting apart evil aliens, and the addition of online co-op, while not reviewed here, was done in a clever manner. One player, for instance, will watch his character hallucinate while the the other is in need of a helping hand.
But it's the development of Clarke, primarily, where "Dead Space 3" comes up cold. As the game opens, he's a loner facing eviction and sitting in his apartment listening to messages from his ex, Ellie. Soon, a pair of soldiers conscript him into battle, and Clarke makes it clear he's not interested in world-saving.
He only stops putting up a fight because Ellie is in danger. Yet when she's finally rescued, and then instantly runs to make out with one of the very soldiers that recruited Clarke, this once seemingly malevolent love-sick gunner essentially shrugs and goes off looking for some ancient inscriptions to, of course, save the world. This big moment for the Ellie-obsessed Clarke essentially arrived with a thud.
There's a few romantic twists and turns yet to come in "Dead Space 3," but it's here where Clarke no longer felt like a fully realized character, and simply a vessel to drop into heavily detailed deep-space missions. In a game that promises a cinematic experience, it's ultimately only the music that truly feels alive, as if the noises themselves were scurrying across the terrain.

The Tellulah Dress in Hues of Chocolate & Pistachio Mint
Added Aug 14, 2013
by pixxxiepie
Austin, Texas, U...
This is the Tellulah Dress in Hues of Chocolate & Pistachio Mint. The style of this dress is called "Gunne Sax" for you vintage clothing and fashion fanatics… and I used a vintage Simplicity Pattern 9895 to create it. Victorian style clothing makes me smile and this was a fun project, especially when it came to adding all the lacy details to the front of the bodice.
The image of the rear of the dress shows off the zipper and the eyelet embellishment that allows you lace up the back of the dress like a corset if you choose. The hemline at the rear of the dress is embellished with a touch of extra lacing to achieve a mock fishtail look. Tellulah will be for sale on my website as soon as I give her one more ironing and she'll definitely be sent with enough ribbon to allow for the corset lacing option at the back. I'll also be offering the dress in a few other colors.
This product is for sale

Reviewed By Tiffany C (Bolingbrook, IL) Reviewed for a 2004 Chevy Tahoe —1/5/2011 6:50 AM
The product I thought was a good price untill we found out that you need a special tool in order to install it!The tool costs almost as much as the lift kit and Auto Anything doesn't sell it! My recomendation is to by the lift kit with the tool in it it's a better price! Because we didn't know untill we had it all apart and no auto places have the tool instock or availible to purchase. We had to purchase it from granger even with our company discount it was still $150.00. I found the tool on Amazon for as cheap as $97.00 and even with overnight shipping it was still cheaper, but when I purchased it throught them it gave me a 7 day eta, so much for overnight! So it was a learning lesson. But once we had the tool it was really easy to install!

Watkins Glen International: Why NASCAR fans have the most fun
Impossibly fast.
With a revolving mixture of amusement and awe, those two words became a chorus in my head, going off like clockwork as each lap unraveled and 43 of the world's best NASCAR drivers roared past the finish line and screamed into turn 1.
I was leaning against the railing of Zippo's viewer-friendly suite in Watkins Glen, New York, for the annual NASCAR event that consistently draws tens of thousands of gung-ho fans. Aside from checking out Zippo's current endeavors (which are stellar) and cataloguing the races themselves, an additional chunk of my focus at the Glen was to find out exactly what it is about NASCAR that has propelled it to remain an absolute juggernaut in the world of spectator sports.
Is the hype justified? Do the legions of diehard fans, movies and media coverage actually represent a sport deserving of such a pedestal? Many would scoff and issue a flippant dismissal, rebutting that NASCAR is simply a redneck obsession that has nonsensically acquired its popularity.
Having avoided any groundless perspectives, I was an unbiased sponge before my arrival; ready to soak in the scene and hammer out some concrete conclusions. To make a long story short: the naysayers have it wrong – very wrong.
"The Glen"
Watkins Glen International is by all means in the country, which for us meant a rolling and scenic cruise from the Buffalo Airport.
Fate had bestowed our driver with two notable characteristics: an encyclopedia-deep knowledge of upstate New York, including the Glen, and a superhuman ability to maintain unbelievably casual conversation despite vigorously tailgating any car that deviated below the assigned speed.
Given our empty stomachs and the familiar anticipation that any traveler feels before arrival, I wholeheartedly appreciated his quirks.
You begin to sense the immensity of the Glen even before you enter the gates. Signs that designate parking and directions slowly start to pepper the side of the road, tirelessly providing a first wave of guidance and defense to the most assured calamity that was already coalescing.
Gate 2, our drop-off point, was bustling with the quintessential festival entrance proceedings, complete with walkie-talkie clad workers, stop-and-go traffic and lots of chatter. Above us, in the distance, mammoth grandstands loomed.
After bidding farewell to our driver, our Zippo rep, Hunter, arrived moments later and we transitioned ourselves into his Jeep for the final voyage to camp, or as I like to call it, Ground Zero.
It didn't take long to realize Hunter was friendly, down to earth and adept – a great ambassador for what was to be a hearty weekend.
Upon entering camp, which was at non-event dates a sprawling grassy area, crisscrossed by dirt roads and encompassed completely by the road course, I realized several things almost immediately. For one, my North Face and loafers, indiscernible at SFO, were now about as out of place and impractical as Hannah Anderson's pajamas bottoms amidst the Montana forest. Too soon?
Also, I had widely underestimated the degree of revelry and madness, which reared its head wildly as we slowly rolled towards our spot. I found myself rubbernecking, hastily trying to take it all in.

However, no matter how much you knock on the window and ask me out to play, I don't feel like taking part in trolling games right now. So, I'm afraid you'll have to post that as a comic if you want a reply in this thread.
Otherwise feel free to start a new thread or post in one of the religion ones where I will happily destroy the notions that

CHICAGO (AP) -- Pinch hitter Dioner Navarro had a game-ending sacrifice fly in the 11th inning, lifting the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Anthony Rizzo sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single. He advanced on Alfonso Soriano's single and went to third when Pirates catcher Russell Martin threw the ball into center field while trying to pick Rizzo off second.
Luis Valbuena was walked intentionally before Navarro's fly ball to right off Bryan Morris (4-3) gave the Cubs their seventh win in the last 11 games.
Matt Guerrier (3-4) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.

Surfacing History: A Poetry and Graphic Arts Workshop
Instead of creating stable, easily decoded pages, we'll create a series of -graphic poems,-layered surfaces of documents, historical records, maps, hand-written notes, pages from old books, our own writings, and pieces of everyday text and paper. We'll start with investigative writing-researching events and landscapes at the intersection of civic and personal history, culling words, and fashioning poems and prose from what we find. Then, by collaging, soaking, wrinkling, writing, mark-making, and photocopying, our pages will gather the signs of wear and tear, personal use, distress-the look of history. Writers and artists we'll study include Susan Howe, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Tom Phillips, Mary Kelly, Anselm Kiefer, Eugenio Dittborn.
No drawing experience is required; no purchase of materials required.

Vintage birthday party for The 39 Steps
Natasha Goodfellow steps out in style at The Criterion Theatre
Natasha Goodfellow steps out in style at The Criterion Theatre
A few weeks back the lovely Naomi of Vintage Secret emailed me. 'I'm organising a party to celebrate the 4th birthday of 'The 39 Steps' in the West End,' she wrote. 'Would you like to come?'
'Do vintage girls wear stockings?' I thought as I replied like a shot. So last night I donned my vintage finest, piled my hair atop my head with nary a thought for those who might be sitting behind me and hopped on the tube to the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly where the lobby was packed with dapper gents in waistcoats and neat moustaches and red-lipsticked ladies with long strings of pearls.
Billed as 'London's funniest comedy thriller' it didn't disappoint, as a cast of just four brilliantly told the story of the dashing Richard Hannay, out to uncover a German spy ring while at the same time trying to clear his name of murder. Using precious few props and a healthy dollop of slapstick, there were races along the tops of trains, man-hunts across Scottish moors and even, with a spectacular bit of lighting trickery, a disastrous plane crash. I could watch it again tomorrow!
After the curtain fell, the fun continued in the theatre's beautiful Greene Bar, where Naomi and friends had laid on a fantastic do. There were delicious cup-cakes from The Vintage Patisserie; vintage make-overs by Lipstick and Curls and Vintage Secret's fab haberdashery bar, bursting with scarves, gloves and old fashion mags to leaf through.
The highlight for me, though, was when award-winning blogger Fleur de Guerre told me how there had almost been a disaster with the sandwich preparation. Just as the tower of cucumber fingers had been artfully arranged on a tray, the props manager dashed into the kitchen in a flap. Turns out the tray was in fact an essential prop for the play!

One of the most prominent trademarks of an effective postsecondary transition program is the ability for young adults with intellectual disabilities to audit college courses of their choosing. OCT students receive the following benefits from auditing courses: increased understanding of essential theories and field-related vocabulary, enhanced professional etiquette, improved critical thinking skills, enhanced time management skills, effective teamwork skills (if course has group activities), and self-determination. Past and current professors have shared that the participation of OCT students within their courses have increased their understanding of diverse learning styles, expanded the technology used in the classroom, increased their understanding of all students with disabilities, and have begun incorporating universal design in how they teach future courses. In addition, professors have reported that matriculated students have received transformational learning experiences by having an OCT student as a peer in the classroom. UNF students have increased their acceptance of diversity, obtained greater understanding of their own learning styles and needs, expanded their circle of natural supports within the course, and are exposed unique perspectives during classroom discussions. OCT students are paired with an in-class academic mentor to assist the student in achieving course objectives. The OCT has had over a hundred professors participate in the OCT since its inception. Audited courses vary from: Anthropology, Comparative Politics, Comparative Religion, Cultural Geography, Drawing I, Enjoyment of Music, Foundations of Business, Intergroup Dialogue for Diverse Populations, Introduction to American Government, Introduction to Education, Social Psychology, Sports Nutrition, Tennis and many other options. The OCT is always seeking for new professors to participate each semester and to expand the array of courses offered.
For more information on OCT students and classes please visit our students and classes webpage.
Thank you so much for all you do for our students! Their lives will be forever changed by the time time and effort you put into them. Below is a resource explaining some of the many types of disabilities. Please use this as a guide for any issues that may come up with a student.
Disability Info Kit
Looking to give your students hands-on experience?
The OCT offers matriculated university students opportunities to utilize a science-practitioner perspective in working with this population through various means: social/academic mentoring, course projects, course field experiences, practicum, and internships. To date, UNF students from diverse majors (i.e., business, education, psychology, computers, counseling, communications, nutrition, etc.) have creatively found ways to apply their major to this underserved and growing population through volunteer and for-credit course projects. Some possibilities for departmental involvement include:
Federal studies have consistently demonstrated that the inclusion of persons with disabilities within the workplace significantly increase workplace morale, productivity, and positively transform organizational culture. The OCT has a pre-employment training component where OCT students are matched with UNF Departments to conduct internships and/or assist with special events. The OCT pairs OCT students with a job coach or work readiness mentor to provide additional training and to ensure supervisor satisfaction with OCT student performance. To date, OCT students have acquired internships ranging from: Women's Center, Golfplex, Physical Facilities, Intercultural Center for PEACE, Arena, UNF Preschool, Career Services, Volunteer Center, Disability Resource Center, and Student Health Services. In addition, OCT students have assisted in special department events as part of their service learning component (i.e., UNF Student Elections, Garbage on the Green, Homecoming events, etc.).

There are a number of opportunities for UNF faculty and staff to be involved with the OCT program. These include:

Our vision is to promote a safe community where every grandfather gets to hold his new grandson, every mother gets to see her daughter get married and every person gets to celebrate their 100th birthday.
You can help us meet our goal to reduce deaths caused by cardiac arrest in our community. Take the "50/50 challenge" and become a Springfield Community LifeSave organization. Organizations that provide CPR training for 50% or 50 employees will be officially recognized by Springfield City Council Members as a Springfield Community LifeSave organization. You will receive a certificate and window decal showing your accomplishment, so all who enter your business know they are safer there.
But that's not all. Organizations are also encouraged to go one step further toward making our community safer, by providing CPR training and at least one automated external defibrillator or AED on the premises. These organizations will be officially recognized as a Springfield Community LifeSave PLUS organization. Your certificate and window decal will reflect the extra efforts you have made to protect your employees, customers and our community.
For more information on where to find CPR training and how to get an AED, call the Springfield Community LifeSave Hotline at (417) 864-1010.
