RF Solid-State Vibrating Transistors

Semiconductor micro-electromechanical (MEM) resonators, with quality factors (Q) often exceeding 104 can provide a high performance, low-power, compact CMOS-compatible alternative to electrical components in wireless communication and signal processing. Most electromechanical devices require a release step to freely suspend moving structures, which necessitates costly complex encapsulation methods and back end-of-line processing of large-scale devices. Development of *unreleased* Si-based MEMS resonators in CMOS allows seamless integration into Front End of Line processing with no post-processing or packaging.
In this talk, I will discuss the Resonant Body Transistor (RBT), which can be integrated into a standard CMOS process. The first hybrid RF MEMS-CMOS resonators in Si at the transistor level of IBM's SOI CMOS process, without any post-processing or packaging will be described. Unreleased, Si bulk acoustic resonators are driven capacitively using the thin gate dielectric, and actively sensed using a body-contacted nFET incorporated into the resonant cavity. FET sensing with the high fT, high performance transistors in CMOS amplifies the mechanical signal before the presence of parasitics. The resulting RF-MEMS resonators provide low power, low cost, small footprint building blocks for on-chip signal generation and processing. For low loss and high power application, this concept can be extended to III-V semiconductors commonly used for mm-wave ICs (MMICs). I will discuss our latest results on active MEMS-HEMT resonators in GaN and their implications for channel-select radio design.

1900 United States Cenus - Ole Sr and Ole Jr
In 1900 the United States census shows Ole Sr and Ole Jr and their families both living in the same township, Alto in Lee County, Illinois.
Based upon the census records, I have estimated that Ole Sr, wife Mari, daughters Mary B and Sarah lived approximately 1/2 mile from Olr Jr, wife Caroline, son Oliver, daughters Josephine, Lettie and Alice, while daughters Evelyn and Lillian were listed as boarders with the Offtedal family a few miles south.

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ - In January 2018, TAPinto.net set an all-time record for the most traffic in any single month since its inception 9 years ago.
From Jan. 1, 2018 to Jan. 31, 2018, TAPinto registered 913,468 readers and 2,328,707 pageviews, up from 799,995 readers and 1,934,413 pageviews during the same period a year ago.
"Since Facebook relegated news to a back seat a few weeks ago, many publishers have seen significant traffic declines. Not here at TAPinto, where our original local news coverage continues to generate big numbers," said Chief Executive Officer and Publisher Michael Shapiro.
TAPinto sites are franchised to local owner/publishers who know their communities and are connected in them and tell the important news stories that the residents of our towns want to read.
TAPinto provides the backend training and support to its franchisees. Current franchisees include business development executives, marketing and communications professionals, veteran journalists, nonprofits, and St. Bonaventure University, among others.
"Facebook, AOL, Google and other multinational Goliaths can try their best to corner the local news market, but as long as there are locally owned and operated TAPinto sites delivering high-quality, objective, original local news coverage, our TAPinto franchisees will not only survive but thrive," said Shapiro. "That local ownership and local reporting makes all the difference."

The new year brings new vistas, and that means at least one change at Hood River City Hall.
Ann Frodel's departure from City Council creates just such a new opportunity.
Frodel had to step down from council as she recently moved outside of city limits. Between her service on council and her tireless efforts to create and sustain the Hood River Waterfront Park, Frodel deserves the thanks of the community. This was made manifest in the key to the city, presented to her last month by Mayor Arthur Babitz (photo, Dec. 31).
But shoes to be filled are shoes to be filled, and now Hood River residents are being asked to consider lacing up.
The council was correct in deciding to open up the application process anew. Planning Commission member Kate McBride, who was a recent applicant for the council seat vacated by Dawna Armstrong in September, had notified City Administrator Bob Francis of her interest in being considered for Frodel's seat. A fresh start on the selection process will not include newly appointed councilor Ed Weathers in selecting an appointee, and, with hope, yield a new field of candidates who might be inspired to take up where Frodel left off.
Now is the time to consider seeking an appointment to City Council. Applications from residents within the city limits are now being taken and are due Jan. 6 by noon. Interviews will be scheduled for the evening of Jan. 9.
Or, if you would like to serve but aren't sure about taking on the commitment of being on council, consider the four open positions on the City Budget Committee.
The committee meets approximately weekly from April until the budget passes in late June. The candidates must be residents within the city and terms last three years.
For further details on either opportunity, residents may contact City Recorder Jennifer Gray at 541-387-5212. Citizens may log onto the city's website at http://ci.hood-river.or.us/ to download the one-page application. Click the button on the main page listed as "City Council Vacancy."
Serving on the city council or budget committee both certainly provide the opportunity to make a difference in your community, but anyone interested needs to decide soon. If you are a city resident and have ever considered getting into public service, this is the time to take that step.

When my dad was a boy, he wanted to be a Scout. But it was during the Depression and his dad and the others had gone into the cities to find work. So they had no Scout Master and no troop. Since I could remember, he said, "You'll get to be a Boy Scout."
All boys should get the chance to be Boy Scouts.

Allegations a decision to close all council-run care homes has contributed to the deaths of three residents were made at a heated meeting.
Sprotborough ward councillor Jonathan Wood said the deaths had occurred since the decision to close the seven remaining council-run care homes was made public.
He said: "Moving is the most stressful thing anyone can do, let alone people in their twilight years. It stresses people out to the extent people pass away – it kills them. Three people died while this has been going on and we've never got to the bottom of whether this was from stress."
Mr Woods questioned if the deaths, and the impact the decision had on residents, had been taken into consideration at a meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee.
The meeting was held after the decisions to close the care homes, a day centre and three social education centres, were 'called-in' by eight councillors opposing the plan.
The councillors presented evidence to the committee in the hope of having the decision referred back to the executive for reconsideration.
But a decision was taken at yesterday's meeting to take no action in relation to the called-in move, after a majority vote.
Members of the Caregate Group attended and boos and shouts of 'what a sham' could be heard as the vote to take no further action was made.
Mayor Ros Jones said the decisions had not been made lightly, and made assurances that care homes would not close until people found alternative quality care.
"A full and thorough consultation process was undertaken, files were compiled with people's responses to the consultation, and concerns raised were taken into account. This was a very hard decision but we have to provide the best care available with the monies we have.
"Assurances have been made that homes will not close until people find quality care."
The council, which needs to save £109m over the next three years, says closing the homes is in line with its plans to modernise adult social care, with more people being supported to stay in their homes for longer, and residential care being provided independently in a modern setting.
A three-month review is still underway to examine alternative care providers, after it emerged a charity had expressed interest in taking over some of the homes.
Both decisions are set to be challenged with a judicial review in the High Court after some of the protesters consulted a law firm.

NEW YORK --ABC says more than 1,500 people have called to complain about Adam Lambert's sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards. The network characterized the response as "moderate." Before his performance, Lambert said that he wanted to break down a double standard that existed where female performers are often sexually provocative while men don't do it that often.
There were also hostile comments online about the "American Idol" glam rocker who sang his new song "For Your Entertainment" on Sunday's show with an elaborate, S&M-themed production. Lambert fondled a dancer, led another around on a leash, had a dancer briefly stick his head in Lambert's crotch and kissed a man.

One seed — one shining example — is all that's needed for homeowners to start being in the pink, says the builder behind Calgary's first all-pink, fire-resistant house.
"We really built this home to talk about what is behind the walls and that there is more to it than a pretty pink colour," says Ryan Armstrong, general manager of Lifestyle Homes.
The all-pink house is being built utilizing innovative, award-winning new technology created by PinkWood Ltd. The company has created a pink-coloured, non-toxic, water-based coating that resists mould, moisture and fire.
It's used to cover floor joists, fire board sheathing and lumber.
Lifestyle Homes became involved in the project because Armstrong wanted to make a difference — constructing safer and healthier homes.
Along with PinkWood Ltd., the builder recently unveiled the house in Silverado in southwest Calgary.
While it is pink behind the scenes, once it is completed, the home will look the same as every other house.
"We have such an issue in Calgary with respect to high-intensity residential fires," says Blair Nutting, vice-president of business development at PinkWood Ltd. "We wanted to create a home that would protect over and above what is legislated."
In 2009, Calgary experienced about 2,300 residential fires, causing 63 injuries and seven deaths.
Today's new homes are more flammable than older homes because they use less wood and more performance-based materials, such as glues and resins, says the Calgary Fire Department.
Older homes have better integrity because they use solid timbers, it says.
On average, they will maintain their integrity for 25 minutes in a fire, whereas a new home will burn through in five to seven minutes.
Nutting says the pink coating buys time during a fire.
"It creates an insulating char layer that doesn't burn," he says.
"In fact, it doesn't even smoke. It's safer for firefighters because the building — even after it has been burning for a while — is much more stable and stronger, and it is safer for occupants because they have more time to get out."
Floor joists support the floor and in new homes they are only 3/8 of an inch thick.
The joists are I-shaped in cross-section. They burn quickly and lose their integrity, causing the floor to collapse.
"That's why we developed the coating for I-joists first," says Nutting.
The technology was subsequently used on fire board sheathing and then on lumber, so that now an entire home can be constructed using PinkWood technology, he says.
In addition to fire protection, the coating resists mould and moisture, says Nutting.
Mould contamination in homes is associated with an increase in serious health issues ranging from allergy symptoms to severe respiratory damage.
Moisture damage can also cause serious structural challenges.
"This really is a customer-driven product," says Nutting, who says that the cost of the PinkWood I-joist system is the same as the cost of purchasing bare joists.
"Why wouldn't you want this product?" says Armstrong.
"It's a further level of protection for you and your family. Whether you have a child with asthma or you are concerned about losing your investment in a fire, it just makes sense."
Several Calgary builders offer the PinkWood flooring system at no extra cost and Armstrong says that adding the additional features, such as the coated lumber and the fire board sheathing, will cost about an extra $17.50 per month over a 30-year mortgage.
The colour pink was chosen because it starts the conversation and because it reflects the company's ongoing support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
For every lineal foot of I-joists sold, PinkWood donates one cent to Breast Cancer Research. During the past year, that has resulted in $21,000 in donations.
The two-storey, all-pink house built by Lifestyle Homes and PinkWood Ltd.is still in the framing stage, but upon completion will feature four bedrooms and contain more than 2,435 square feet, with vaulted ceilings on the upper floor.
For more information, visit www.whyisthishousepink.ca
Builder: Lifestyle Homes, the builder behind Calgary's first all-pink, fire-resistant house in conjunction with PinkWood Ltd.
Location: 2 Silverado Skies Dr. S.W.
Price: The four-bedroom, 2,435-square-foot, all-pink home sells for $532,000.
PinkWood Ltd. is a Calgary-based manufacturing company that provides building products finished with a non-toxic, water-based coating.
It resists the growth of mould and fungus while providing added fire and moisture protection to homes. The company also believes in giving back to the community and donates a portion of all sales to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
For more information, visit the website at www.pinkwood.ca
Lifestyle Homes began in 1997 as a niche builder with waterfront property on Chestermere Lake.
Over the years, it has grown and evolved to encompass executive, move-up and entry-level offerings and has developed a strong commitment to building green. Elements— the build-green arm of the company — is taking this responsibility to a higher level by constructing with alternative power sources, long-lasting materials and innovative interior design. The company is currently building new homes in Silverado and West Park in Calgary, Drake Landing in Okotoks, The Ranch in Strathmore, Montrose in High River, and Riverwood in Black Diamond.
Lifestyle Homes Inc. also has a limited selection of homesites in Lott Creek Grove, an executive enclave of homes on the western edge of Calgary in the District of Rockyview.

Meet Mansimran. He's an 18 year old all-American guy who likes Starbucks, hoops, and robotics. He's a student, an older brother, and an active member of his Sikh religious community. Sometimes, when strangers see his turban, and the color of his skin, they lean out their car window and call him a "terrorist."
He's not alone: especially since September 11, Sikh Americans and other communities have become targets of discrimination, racial profiling and bullying, and hate crimes. Counterterrorism measures have inflamed fear, fostered an atmosphere of distrust and even violated human rights. Ten years later, members of many immigrant communities continue to be viewed as suspects by law enforcement, to encounter hatred and violence, and be subjected to bias at the workplace and bullying in schools. One survey found that, even 6 years after the events of 2001, 75% of Sikh male schoolchildren in New York had been teased or harassed on the basis of their religious identity.
How does Mansimran respond? "My response is, 'Come over here, sit down, I'll tell you about Sikhism, I'll tell you who I am," he explains. He says in the video, "If I see somebody being mean to somebody else, I would protect that person. I would go up to the bully and be like, 'Why are you doing this? What are you doing?' I'm obliged by my religion..and my family — you know, don't do the wrong thing, and stand up for the right thing."
In 2011, Mansimran represented his community at the United Sikhs summit in Washington D.C, where he spoke to members of Congress about supporting Sikh human rights and dignity and respect across cultures.
Mansimran totally takes it in stride — but it shouldn't be that way in the first place. We are all on the same team, after all — and we should take a page from Mansimran's playbook by standing up against racial profiling and bullying, reaching out across differences, upholding human rights, and treating everyone around us with the American — and human-rights — values of dignity, equality, and respect.
You can stand with him — and against racist bullying — by getting to know him and sharing his video profile.
How to ACT:
SHARE this video with 10 friends on Facebook and Twitter to speak out for diversity and stand up against bullying. Post on Facebook, Twitter, and your other favorite social networking spaces.
LEARN about racial profiling and racial justice by visiting our 'about' section and following the hashtag #rfair.
DOWNLOAD and share the song "turBAN" by G.N.E. (It's in the video, it's awesome, and it's free!).
Why? Because by sharing the video you are speaking out for racial justice and standing up to bullying.
Because we're all on the same team.
(And because you won't be able to get the song out of your head.)

FA charges Ferguson for implying bias
The Football Association has charged Sir Alex Ferguson with misconduct over comments he made after Manchester United's draw with Tottenham on January 20.
The FA punished Ferguson because they deemed his comments had implied the match officials were motivated by bias.
After the 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane, Ferguson labelled linesman Simon Beck's performance "shocking" with particular reference to his failure to give United a penalty when Wayne Rooney was challenged by Spurs defender Steven Caulker.
The Red Devils manager added that Beck had a history with his club after not ruling out an offside for a Didier Drogba goal in 2010. "There was no way we were going to get a decision from [Beck]," Ferguson said.
An FA statement released on Tuesday evening read: "The FA has today [Tuesday 29 January] charged Sir Alex Ferguson in relation to post-match media comments made following Manchester United's game at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 20 January 2013.
"It is alleged the Manchester United manager breached FA Rule E3 in that he implied that the match official was motivated by bias. Ferguson has until 4pm on Friday 1 February 2013 to respond to the charge."
Ferguson has a long history of disciplinary charges with the FA. In March 2011 he was hit with a five-match touchline ban and a £30,000 fine for questioning the integrity of referee Martin Atkinson after a match at Chelsea.
He did escape punishment earlier this season, however, despite confronting Mike Dean, assistant referee Jake Collin and fourth official Neil Swarbrick during the Red Devils' game against Newcastle.

AA-T and AS-T are acronyms for Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees that are designed specifically for transfer to the California State University System. The degrees are the results of Senate Bill 1440, a transfer bill that required the California Community Colleges to offer associate degrees for transfer in many of the most popular majors, and for the CSU to provide priority admission to California Community College students who have earned an AA-T or AS-T degree. These degrees can be completed in 60 transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units) and include coursework in general education, major preparation and electives.
We've included a quick tips list on our Get Started page for high school, community college and in-between students. Students can see their high school or community college counselor for more information.
Students completing an AA-T or AS-T degree receive priority admission to the CSU system. Students who have completed an AA-T or AS-T and are admitted to a CSU major that has been deemed similar are guaranteed admission at junior standing, and the opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree with 60 additional semester (or 90 quarter) units. AA-T and AS-T degrees are recognized by both the California Community College and CSU systems as a measure of preparation and readiness for transfer to upper-division course work at the CSU.
This program guarantees that students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree from a California Community College will be admitted to a California State University campus. The campus you will be admitted to depends on several factors, such as the location of your community college, the program of study that a student intends to follow, and a student's competitiveness for admission. The program also guarantees a student will enter the CSU system at junior standing, and only need to complete 60 additional semester units (or 90 quarter units) to earn a bachelor's degree in a CSU program that has been deemed as similar.
Besides the benefit of completing community college coursework with an associate degree in hand, this program also provides students with the necessary preparation to transfer to the CSU system and complete a baccalaureate degree. Students with an AA-T or AS-T degree receive admission priority and guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, along with the ability to complete a baccalaureate degree with only 60 additional semester units (or 90 quarter units) in a degree program that has been deemed similar.
Students interested in the program should talk with their high school or community college counselor for more information. Community college students should work with their college transfer advisors to develop an academic plan that includes the specific course requirements for their degree goals. In general, a student will be required to complete 60 transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units), which includes coursework in general education, major preparation and elective courses.
CSU campuses that have access demands beyond the resources available to serve students have defined a local admission area for transfer students as a measure of enrollment management. For students completing an AA-T or AS-T degree and applying to a campus that is campus impacted, the local CSU campus is determined based on the community college that has awarded the degree.
Check out the Degrees page of this website for a full list of degrees. Each degree will feature a list of community colleges and CSUs that offer degrees within that academic area. Major or degree names will vary from campus to campus. Students should also visit their community college counselor for more information and advice.
If a student is interested in a particular major and the degree isn't offered at their community college, they should visit with a community college transfer counselor to discuss their options. In some instances the degree may be available at a nearby community college, or a student may have the option of preparing for transfer without receiving an AA-T or AS-T degree.
We keep this website updated as new degrees are added. Check out the Updates page to see what's new.
We encourage students to apply to more than one CSU campus offering their major. However, if a student is not admitted to the CSU of their choice, their application may be redirected to one or more alternative CSU campuses that offer the similar program and have admission capacity. It will be up to the student to evaluate each admission opportunity to determine which option is best for them.
Yes, however applying for admission into a program that is not deemed similar does not guarantee a student will be able to complete the baccalaureate degree in 60 additional semester units (or 90 quarter units) after transfer. Additional coursework may be required. Also, the other benefits, such as guaranteed admission and having admission priority, are lost.
Yes, students must apply and meet all of the CSU admission requirements and deadlines. Students should follow the Important Dates page and, when it is time to apply for transfer to the CSU, a student can do so via CSU Mentor at http://www.csumentor.edu/. During the application process a student will have an opportunity to identify themself as an AA-T or AS-T student.

There's a shift from fear of what "the public" says, to a new generation of companies embracing how public opinion can help build their brand. Trust in institutions: thumbs-down. Trust in tangible people: thumbs-up. Several recent studies have shown that blogs are one of the top services to influence a purchase.
Where purpose, authenticity and currency reign, the prosumer content creator has the power to shape, share and create at speed that disrupts traditional content creation production and process.
BlogHer Inc. is a resource for women who blog to gain exposure, education, community and economic empowerment. BlogHer recognized that there's been a shift for companies: Consumers see information distributed by an individual as a trusted source, and consumers also hear a valid, authoritative, respected and experienced prosumer voice. This path of professionalization in business, marketing and technical skills optimizes the ultimate influence and takes the turn from consumer to prosumer in monetization.
With the democratization of content, the touchscreens of consumers now modulate the voice of companies. How companies engage with, support and nurture their consumer content creators as an investment does not easily translate to traditional return on investment (ROI).
How will the Share button continue to impact your brand?

Threw this question out on twitter tonight and nobody had an answer.
Which NHL players were injured while playing overseas in the last lockout? I remember Heatley was injured and I think Brad Richards ended up having some sort of surgery either late into the season or after the KHL season was completed.
And by NHL'er, I mean a player who had played the season before in the NHL and had intentions to return once the lockout ended.

My last couple of posts, about my mother's unhappy experiences in moving from her home to "assisted living," have been downers, and it's time to talk about lighter subjects. During the last two weeks of March I had some fine adventures out in the Texas Hill Country, back in Houston, and up in Dallas.
First off, my friends Loretta and Beverly and I went to New Braunfels to see Arlo Guthrie perform at Gruene Hall, one of the oldest dance halls in Texas.
The show was great. The lovely and talented Burns sisters, Arlo's son Abe, and his band opened the show – for two hours!. Then Arlo came out and they all performed for another two hours! I met up with my Dallas friends Jay and Shelley, my dear friend Doris Judd, who I met at a writing workshop, and spent some quality time afterwards with The Burnsies, Jimmy LeFave, Kil.Ler, Arlo's former bus driver, now an agent for musicians, based in Austin.
A good time was had by all. Next morning, the Three Musketeers traveled farther west to visit my friends Nancy and Tony Parker-Simons, who manage the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, founded by Kinky Friedman. I've known them for several years, and two finer people cannot be found. We spent the afternoon talking, eating, laughing, touring the ranch, visiting with the animals, and laughing some more.
Tony has become an excellent photographer. He showed us some postcards he'd made that were National Geographic quality. One took my breath away, literally – a hummingbird caught in mid-flight. He has an eye for capturing nature – plants, animals, and oh yeah, even people – he took some that made me look good, and that's not easy to do!
In addition to being a Fine Human Being and one of my long-lost sisters, Nancy is a story teller, a writer, and a kind and loving woman with a heart bigger than Texas. Do I love her? Indeed I do!
Reluctantly we said goodbye to Nancy and Tony and all the critters and made the long trip back to Houston. But the fun wasn't over yet! The next Tuesday Loretta and I attended the opening of a new play, "Becoming Kinky" – the story of Kinky Friedman in three parts. It was truly a great show, and we bonded with the couple sitting next to us, Mark and Joyce, then got to visit with Kinky and his sidekick, Jeff Shelby, aka Little Jewford.
We closed the place down, and as we drove away I saw Kinky in a meditative mood – or was he just wishing Jeff would hurry up and take him home?
The fun was over for awhile, and it was back to work. In my next installment, I'll talk about my mother's 90th birthday party, and update her status on the "assisted living" experiment. There will be some good parts and some awful parts … but for a few weeks, my world was full of friends and fun and Texas in the springtime.

GDT: Oilers 3, Flames 0 – Pre-season Game 5 – 2011-09-25 @ 6:00 PM MST – SNETW
Tonight the Oilers head in to Calgary to play the 2nd half of their back to back with the Flames. Last night's event was positive. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins recorded another assist after spinning off the boards near the blueline, cutting to the center of the ice and shooting it on net, where hall swept home the rebound. Khabibulin played a very strong 60 minutes. Maybe you might say 59 minutes and 55 ish seconds. The goal he allowed was one that he shouldn't have allowed. It was a shot from the high point, through traffic that was at the high point. Other than that, he was solid.
More bad news on the injury front. Sam Gagner was driven hard into the end boards by Brendan Mikkelson. Gagner laid on the ice for a few seconds then got to a knee and was in obvious pain. He is day-to-day. The Edmonton Journal says that he took a puck in the ankle on the play, but I'm not seeing it. Pretty sure the impact of the boards did the damage.
Looks like the Oilers are going with a fairly weak lineup for this one (although I think our top line in this game could end up being a real 3rd line for the team). The Flames have dressed a decent line up, but still some key players missing from their roster.

Product Description
We're not sure how to best describe this texture, though we love it. It's very lightly processed for texture, but not that much. It's not quite coarse, but it's textured enough so that it's not silky either. It's a great African American texture for someone who still wants that silky feel, or someone who is biracial or Latina. It's not silky and unbelievable, but it's not coarse and still has a lot of sheen.
The hair does not need to be flat ironed, it moves and bounces and holds curls well.

D.C. ~Da Capo~ (Official English Release)
zalas has a nice article about the Official English release of Circus's D.C. ~Da Capo~ video game (warning: game and sites contain adult content -- 18+ only!).
Previously, Arkanos had released a fan translation patch of the Plus Communication re-release of the game. Plus Communication is also being considered for release by MangaGamer sometime in the future.
Anyway, zalas's article is pretty comprehensive. Purchased my own copy earlier today without difficulty, and looking forward to giving it whirl over the next short while (though, with D.C. II P.C. being released tomorrow, it'll have some tough competition!). I'm glad to hear that the translation, while not perfect, seems to have addressed a lot of the issues everyone was initially concerned about.

does the site take US credit cards? I have tried buying it with several cards and always get an error. I guess cause it does not convert dollars to euro or whatever. Anyways I can't buy it =( Does someone know a way around this?
This and Suika were the only 2 games I was interested in from them ( unless they do edelweiss eden soon). I think the prices are outrageous though, especialy since it's download only. But I figured hey I spend like $60 US for an average XBox360 or PS3 game, so I'll bite on it one time for a title like Da Capo.
Anyways anyone else in the US purchase it and how?

My transaction seems to have gone through without problems. Your credit card company might have issues accepting charges from foreign addresses, so you should probably give your credit card company a call ask them what's up. I remember with my old credit card company that I had to call in advance everytime I wanted to make an order with Amazon Japan.

Then again, if you've got tons of money that you're eager to waste, or if you would like to support english translations... personally I'd buy for the story... it's different to read walkthroughs than to play through myself...

In any event, these are all signs of a small publisher without a lot of experience releasing any sort of software. Eventually they might "grow up", so to speak.

Anyway... as I said, hopefully they grow up through all this. If they continue to over-promise, under-deliver, and communicate poorly through the whole process, I can't see how they'll stick around for too long.

So... apparently the reason it was pulled was that it was not supposed to go on sale on December 25 in the first place. There was a final quality check run that was scheduled, and they forgot to extend the release date on the website.

So in other words, they delayed it again, but forgot to update their webmaster, and had already provided a fully-functioning version for testing purposes, and so it launched as scheduled without their knowledge? Like their website just launched products by itself when the date hits? Or the webmaster never calls them up like "hey, we're scheduled to launch this today, so is that fine?"
Wow... just wow... *facepalm*
Half of me wonders if this isn't because you and others commented on some of the mistakes in their translation, and word of the errors got to a certain someone, so now they're going to act like "oh, sorry, that wasn't the final! It was an early build!" and fix it. How is that less of a PR disaster than just saying that you're going to issue a patch? One way is sloppy, but this is just incompetent.
You (the company) can't say that you "forgot" to update your website, when your website is the only portal for information about your products. It's not like you need to send out press releases or update your merchant solicitations or whatever. Updating the website is the one and only thing you needed to do. If you didn't update the website, you didn't delay it, now did you?
Running an Internet-based software company really isn't so hard, guys... Get your act together already! At this point, it's almost comedic.

Oh, interesting things going on around here. It looks like I missed a lot with my schedule and very occasional visits (let's say I can no longer watch anime and check the corresponding threads). Releasing the game and then pulling the release. This is something I see for the first time.
Say, Japanese people have always been original but when it comes to releases they tend to be rather convervative just postponing the release date. Except that once the wrong version of summer days went to print and the subsequent patches weighed almost as much as the game itself. But still, these guys are just over-creative.
At a sidenote, aren't we supposed to be playing D.C.II P.C. instead? Ah, I forgot that we also need to support english releases with falling ruble and rising euro.

After reading the post zalas linked to on encubed, I guess I feel a bit more sympathetic. If it's true that this was QC being done by volunteers within the Japanese game industry, 1) that's a bit surprising, but 2) that's a little bit more understandable. Still, perhaps it would be a good idea to review their release process (and revise their website code) to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. Plus, if they are being staffed by volunteers, perhaps they'd be better off to remove all the dates completely from their site and only release things when they're ready. I realize they want to increase anticipation, but that only works if you have a history of meeting your dates...
Oh well...

Lee Clark admits the pitch invasion by disgruntled Blackpool fans in their final Championship game of the season against Huddersfield compounded a horrendous campaign for the club.
However, the Blackpool boss refused to condemn the hundreds of home supporters who made their way onto the pitch in the 48th minute to protest against the club's Oyston family owners, which eventually caused the game to be abandoned.
The already-relegated Seasiders have suffered a miserable campaign and went into the game hoping to avoid setting a new record low points total.
Stockport hold the dubious honour for fewest second-tier points since the 1988 expansion to 24 sides, with 26 in 2002, but matters off the pitch dominated proceedings at Bloomfield Road.
The Football League confirmed it would make a ruling on whether the game should be replayed, and Blackpool boss Clark thought it was a frustrating day for all concerned.
"It just compounds an absolutely horrendous season," he said. "The supporters were just acting on this season and the culmination of the relegation.
"Frustration has been building up over a period of time. It's a very, very disappointing day. I love football and I love working in the industry ever since I left school, and I didn't want to be involved in anything like this.
"I have the feelings of a supporter and I'll never criticise them. Since I came through the door there has been a very toxic atmosphere and you can't be successful with that.
"We kept chatting to the referee and the officials and match commander, but we couldn't determine what was going to happen or how long we'd have to wait before it was abandoned and what would the sanction be. Is the game going to be replayed? No-one knows as it's a unique situation."
Blackpool supporters remonstrated outside the stadium before kick-off, and that ill-feeling boiled over when hundreds took to the pitch just after half-time and unveiled banners against chairman Karl Oyston and owner Owen Oyston's running of the club.
It resulted in over an hour delay before referee Mick Russell abandoned the game with the scores level at 0-0.
"I feel sorry for our fans first off, coming all this way. I'm sure some will have come last night and paid for accommodation and they were all in a good mood," said Huddersfield boss Chris Powell.
"We were looking to win the game and had chances to do that but what happened is something that I've never seen before. It's unprecedented and what's going to happen now?
"To be fair to the referee, he was a little bit in shock but handled it well and got advice from safety officers and the head of police, and they tried their best to get the game back on but in the end they couldn't guarantee our safety.
"It's strange to end the season this way. There's talk of replaying it but half my team go away on Tuesday so I really don't know what is going to happen. I don't know how they are going to do it."

This article appeared on BikeRadar.
Stage 19 of this year's Giro d'Italia was brutal even by a pro rider's standards. The progressively steepening and unrelenting Passo Manghen kicked in just past the halfway point of the nearly 200km-long route and ended with two trips up the Alpe di Pampeago's 16-percent maximum grade.
Aerodynamics took a back seat to weight with all of the major contenders shaving as many grams from their machines as possible, especially from the wheels. Shallow-section tubular wheels with carbon rims was the norm with even Mavic's often-teased-but-as-yet-undelivered R-Sys Ultimate making yet another appearance, this time on the Cervélo R5ca of Ryder Hesjedal. So much weight was removed from some bikes that several riders and teams ran supplemental weights to bring their machines exactly up to code.
Lower-than-normal gearing was common as well with many riders swapping to cassettes with 27T or 28T cogs and some resorting to mid-compact or true compact chainrings, too.
We weren't able to weigh any of the bikes at the start but it's a safe bet that many of them were spot-on at 6.8kg – and if not, those riders were certainly wishing they were. Click here for the gallery.

Harvey Robbins is one of a kind. The energetic promoter has filled theatres (including PPAC) with his rock 'n' roll revival shows, stages extravaganzas in Vegas and runs rock nostalgia cruises.
I caught up with him in Vegas, where he was on tour with legendary 84-year-old entertainer Tempest Storm. ("She's a Leap Year baby, so she's only 21.")
Robbins is bringing his "Doo-Wopp, Burlesque & Legends of Vegas" show to Cranston's Park Theatre (The Rhode Island Center for the Performing Arts) for one show on Saturday, April 28 at 8 p.m. He'll have Elvis Impersonator Dana Z, along with James Brown Jr., Judy Teo saluting Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin, and Ruth Caney saluting Janis Joplin. Tony Funches, longtime lead singer of Herb Reed's Platters, will sing many of their hits.
Harvey Robbins' Royalty of Doo-Wopp All-Stars will play many of the favorites from the '50s, while Burlesque comedian Albert Cadabra will entertain. A Burlesque show would not be complete without Miss Exotic World Burlesque Queen Angie Poantani rounding out a night of total entertainment.
"This is the national premiere of this innovative show," Robbins said. "It brings something for everyone: good fun, great music, dance, doo-wopp '50's music, comedy and exotically beautiful burlesque dancers."
The Generations Quartet barbershoppers will open the show. Tickets are $31, $37 and $45. For reservations, call 467-7275 or go online at www.parktheatreRI.com.
