Safezone educates and explores the experiences of LGBTQ individuals

September 24, 2012

To feed my curiosity, I attended Safezone training Monday evening at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center. The most interesting aspect of the training was observing and listening to what straight allies had to say. I watched as they learned the different definitions of sexual minorities. I particularly enjoyed the discussion about heterosexism, because they comprehended what societal mold LGBTQ people live in and must adapt to.

Apple says more than 5 million iPhone 5s sold

September 24, 2012

NEW YORK - Apple Inc. said Monday that it sold more than 5 million units of the iPhone 5 in the three days since its launch, fewer than analysts had expected. Apple shares were down $6.60, or 0.9 percent, at $693.49 in morning trading. The shares are still close to their all-time high of $705.07, hit Friday as the phone went on sale in the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and five other countries. The sales tally is a record for any phone, but it beats last year's iPhone 4S launch only by a small margin. Apple said then that it sold 4 million phones in the first three days. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White expected Apple to sell 6 million to 6.5 million iPhone 5s in the first three days. He said the shortfall was largely due to limited supply. White said the phone was sold out at 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. Apple stores he and his team contacted Sunday evening, and the ones that were still available were mostly Sprint models. Online delivery times have stretched to three to four weeks. The phone will go on sale in 22 more countries on Friday and in more than 100 countries by the end of the year.
