EFI Electronics Corp. (NASDAQ:EFIC) Friday announced financial results for the first quarter ended June 29, 1990. For the three months just ended, net income reached $267,877 or 9 cents per share on ...revenues of $2.69 million compared to net income of $387,211 or 12 cents per share on revenues of $2.71 million for the same period a year ago. "We are pleased with the results of this first quarter, which approximately equaled record first quarter revenues of last year. Net income was lower reflecting expenses incurred to expand sales and marketing and to strengthen manufacturing," said Scott Nelson, president of EFI. "Superior growth has come in several target markets and we anticipate stronger growth in the areas we are focusing on." (excerpt)

Introduction by Nelson H. Minnich (The Catholic University of America) In an effort to understand how contemporary American society came to be with its hyperpluralism of religious beliefs, emphasis ...on individual human rights, and dedication to consumerism, Brad S. Gregory looks for answers not to the Enlightenment, but to earlier eras, especially that of the Protestant Reformation. Among other aims, The Unintended Reformation seeks to raise philosophical self-awareness among all scholars on the basis of historical analysis, rather than acquiescing in dominant assumptions about disciplinary boundaries.
The Neolithic of South China (and of the Far East generally) has traditionally been reconstructed on nuclear-diffusionist models; chronologies and local culture sequences in South China have been ...related to the rise of agriculture and Neolithic technology in North China, and their subsequent spread into the South, often seen to have resulted from a movement of peoples out of the "nuclear area." Recent data now suggest a generally contemporaneous though largely autonomous development of agriculture, pottery, polished stone tools, and boat transport within South China, beginning in the Pleistocene-Holocene transition and marked by technological continuity with gradually crystallizing local "Bacsonian" subcultures after ca. 8000 B.C. The Middle Neolithic "Lungshanoid" and "Yueh" horizons of the Yangtze Delta and southern coast, respectively, are suggested to have emerged (possibly with a significant stimulus from the changing land-sea configuration in the early Holocene) by the 6th or 5th millennium B.C. and themselves provided the substrata from which the Geometric horizon of Southeast China evolved in the late 3d-early 2d millennium B.C. In the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary, an assumed local evolution and parallel development over the wide region constitutes the most appropiate theoretical model with which to frame the data, and leads generally to more productive lines of investigation (e.g., man-land relationships, prior cultural-technological history, potential within the cultures themselves for innovation) than do other a priori models. The assumption of a locally evolving cultural system has proved highly useful and predictively successful in its application to Neolithic development in the Yellow River Basin of North China, the Red River Basin and contiguous zones in North Vietnam, Japan, and certain key sites in South China. With the now known or strongly suspected antiquity of a number of culture traits (rice, painted pottery, rectangular adze) wide-spread over South China and beyond, and the futility in attempting to pinpoint their precise point of origin, it is suggested that such a framework will eventually find wide application over the mainland of East Asia.
