A new branch for the Mali family tree: Mali Video, featuring the Mali-V500Posted by cporthou in ARM Mali Graphics on Jun 3, 2013 5:11:00 AM
A few weeks ago, I sat down with my two daughters, aged 7 and 10, and taught them how to program on a PC using Scratch. Two weeks later, after emptying the fridge of all its contents, my youngest daughter had created a piano made out of bananas, a carrot and a spoon and my eldest had written a fruit slicing computer game involving real fruit. As any proud father would, I captured the moment as an HD clip on my phone and uploaded for the grand-parents to watch on their mobile devices. After explaining to my wife why we would be getting a takeaway for dinner, we sat down to proudly watch the same clips on our TV.
As well as a shameless plug for the great work CodeClub is doing teaching youngsters how to program (see here), this example of everyday life in the Porthouse household highlights the way in which millions of us now generate and consume video content.
According to Cisco, by 2017 two-thirds of the world's mobile data traffic will be video. Already today, 25% of global YouTube views come from mobile devices and, according to Google "HD is becoming dominant". It seems we can't get enough videos of cats, babies biting fingers and children playing banana pianos – consumers expect high quality HD video on any device with a screen.
From a hardware point of view, deploying high quality HD encode and decode into mass-market mobile devices is all about cost, power consumption, time-to-market - and cost!
This week at Computex ARM announces MaliTM-V500, the first in a new roadmap of video processors. The technology builds on our previous video solution, which has so far shipped over 100M units. Our goal was to extend that technology and enable partners to deliver a high-quality HD capture and playback experience on mass-market tablets and smartphones.
The Mali-V500 is optimized for silicon re-use by a variety of codecs, across encode and decode functionality, delivering multi-standard HD and 4K encode and decode in an incredibly small area with half the system power and memory bandwidth of competing solutions - all with the highest quality deliverables and support that partners expect from ARM which enable a fast time to market for high performance, high quality HD solutions at minimum cost.
As with ARM's CPU and GPU roadmap, Mali-V500 is a multicore solution, scaling from 1080p60 encode and decode in a single core to ultra-high performance 4K resolution at 120 frames per second using 8 cores.
Video and graphics are major users of memory bandwidth. As screens get bigger and resolutions grow, bandwidth goes up and power consumption increases if nothing is done about it. For example, 4K (2160p) at 60fps can consume around 600mW of power just due to LPDDR2 memory. Anything that can reduce memory bandwidth will also reduce power.
The video processor incorporates a novel lossless frame compression technique called ARM Frame Buffer Compression (AFBC), enabling increased efficiencies throughout the display pipeline. By coupling AFBC in Mali-V500 with AFBC in display or GPU a bandwidth saving of over 50% is achievable1, delivering system-wide power reduction and enabling the use of lower cost DDR memory, altogether bringing the system cost down.
While system power, performance and silicon area are all critical for our SoC partners, visual quality is also essential. Mali-V500 includes features such as a high bus latency tolerance whereby video processing can continue for over 5000 cycles without external memory access. This means consumers will not see jerky playback due to dropped frames when there are other things happening on the device – something seen in other video solutions today. Support for sub-10ms encode also enables a high quality gaming experience with WiFi display or WiFi Miracast.
The way movie and TV content is accessed is also changing. Major Hollywood studios generate more than 70% of their revenue post-theatrical/box office release and consumers want to view content on multiple devices at any time. In order to protect their multi-billion dollar investments, studios and content owners are demanding hardware-backed security across all devices that play their premium content. This means that in order to support premium content mobile and other consumer embedded devices must support hardware-backed protection of content from download to display.
In order to meet the stringent security requirements of movie content owners, Mali-V500 has been architected to efficiently support ARM TrustZone® and associated media playback use cases efficiently. ARM is able to support SoC partners with all major blocks of secure IP – from TrustZone-enabled CPU, to Trustzone-enabled Memory Controllers and TrustZone-ready Video – and the widest ecosystem care to ensure our partners are able to support the requirements of movie studios and content distributors alike.
The recent finalization of the specification for HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec) is compelling as it enables network bandwidth savings due to the lower bitrates, thus lowering distribution costs and enabling new HD or 4K services. HEVC is designed to make parallelisation across multicore processors simple and efficient. ARM is working extensively with partners to ensure optimized HEVC solutions are available across the widest range of Cortex®-A CPUs with NEON, including Cortex-A12, and Mali-T600 family GPUs, including Mali-T622. Enabling HEVC on ARM CPUs and GPUs not only helps service providers get to market quickly, but it also provides flexibility for software solutions targeting the new specification, as it evolves, with subsequent updates to the decode aspects. This is inevitable because of the lack of content at present for verification and the high number of encode/transcode solutions under development. By implementing a software solution at this stage significantly reduces risks for OEMs. See this press release and blog from Ittiam for more details on what ARM partners are doing in this space. ARM is also working on a power efficient hardware implementation of HEVC, leveraging novel features in the Mali-V500 architecture to reduce silicon area. I look forward to revealing more details in a future blog!
Mali-V500 is a natural choice to put alongside an ARM CPU such as Cortex-A12 and Mali GPU such as Mali-T622. Partners are also able to leverage DS-5 profiling tools and ArtisanTM optimized physical IP to deliver high-quality, low-power systems with CPU, GPU and VPU all from ARM. Mali-V500 is available for license now and you can expect to record and play back many hours of high quality, HD videos of your own talented children and pets on a wide range of tablets and smartphones from 2014.

Based on Friday estimates, this is shaping up to be a banner weekend for R-rated flicks in January.
After a very successful limited run in 60 theaters, the decision to send Zero Dark Thirty into wide release the day after Oscar nominations were announced certainly paid off. Kathryn Bigelow's film about the hunt for bin Laden pulled in $9 million on Friday and could hit $26 million for the weekend--not far behind the $28.6 million wide opening of Black Hawk Down in January 2002.
Warner Bros. reports that Gangster Squad grabbed an estimated $6.665 million on Friday from 3,103 locations. That puts the film on track for an $18.7 million opening weekend, right in between director Ruben Fleischer's $13.3 million opening for 30 Minutes or Less in 2011 and his 2009 debut of $24.7 million for Zombieland.
A Haunted House opened to an estimated $6.7 million on Friday and is on target for a $17.5 million debut frame.
Django Unchained grossed another $3.46 million on Friday, increasing the domestic total to $117.8 million after 18 days. Boxoffice is projecting an $11.7 million weekend for the Tarantino flick, meaning that it will surpass the domestic tally of Inglourious Basterds ($120.5 million) sometime on Saturday.
Texas Chainsaw 3D declined an estimated 82.4 percent from its opening day to $1.8 million on Friday. We're projecting a $4.95 million second weekend.
With Oscar nominations releasing this past week, a number of films saw notable bumps in activity on Thursday and continued that trend into the weekend. Argo posted one of the best Friday-to-Friday increases with a 49 percent bump up to $335k yesterday, sending its domestic total to $110.7 million. Silver Linings Playbook continues to benefit well, also partly due to its expansion into 810 theaters on Friday, with a 35.9 percent week-to-week increase for $1.495 million on Friday. Playbook could take in $5.05 million for the weekend.
Meanwhile, Lincoln ticked up 6.5 percent from last Friday to $1.84 million and a $148.1 million cume, on target for a $6.5 million weekend. Life of Pi slipped only 20 percent Friday-to-Friday with $670k yesterday and a new total of $92.8 million. Les Miserables was down nearly 44 percent from last Friday to $2.8 million yesterday and should take in $9.5 million for the weekend.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Genuin presents the latest release in the globally acclaimed series of Charles Koechlin's orchestral music. Koechlin is considered one of the most important 20th century French composers, yet there has not been a comprehensive examination of his works until now. His music is performed here by the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR with conductor Heinz Holliger.
American Record Guide, September / October 2012
Having recently reviewed a rather wooden and perfunctory recording of these trios (Wu Han, Setzer, Finckel; ArtistLed 11102) I am pleased to encounter this fresh and perceptive performance by these young musicians. Hwa-Won Pyun, Lena Wignjosaputro, and Nicholas Rimmer formed the Leibniz Trio in Hanover in 2005 and have since performed widely with much acclaim from audiences and guidance and support from the Alban Berg Quartet and the Florestan Trio. So far their recordings include trios by Haydn and Reger and by Dvorak, Joseph Finlay, and Frank Martin (Genuin 11208, Nov/Dec 2011).

Health News Daily reported a study that suggests that women who take common antidepressants during pregnancy have a high risk for their unborn babies developing birth defects. The study specifically names medications such as Zoloft, Celexa and Paxil as brands to avoid. The birth defect risks include premature birth and autism.
The findings indicate that as many as 13% of pregnant women currently take antidepressants. Many women have also had infertility treatments which usually is linked to depression.
The article claims there is a high risk but fails to even address the participants in the study. The reader is unaware of how the data was quantified and if the women were taking any other medications at the same time. Also, it is unclear exactly what a defect entails and how to label a defect. This is all necessary information for the study and its claim to be credible.
After the article provides the opposing viewpoint, it states: ...every woman who presents to a clinician has to undergo a case-by-case analysis of the benefits and risks of antidepressant therapy.

Change in Ct Values different for different targets
We are trying to evaluate our probe design by using synthetic target mimics. The probes were designed by a Bioinformatician. My boss was assuming that the change in Ct values between the concentrations for each individual target should be the same for all of the 50 different targets.
We are not using a reference gene or any controls. The differences between 10 pM and 1 pM target can range from 3.43 to 2.85 to 5 for different targets.
Can anyone help me.

Audit and advisory service KPMG has signed a commercial agreement to deploy the pre-tuned vBlock server, storage and network stack made available by Cisco, VMware and EMC.
Announcing the purchase at the Cisco Live! event today in Melbourne, KPMG's director of IT David Banger said the company was upgrading its IT infrastructure to prove to advisory clients its ability to "walk the talk" in terms of adopting the latest generation of technology.
The company's infrastructure refresh was kicked off nine months ago with the appointment of new CIO Chris Robinson, who reviewed KPMG's IT function and found it to be "not as relevant as it could be to the advisory business".In terms of infrastructure, KPMG engaged in a server refresh and consolidation program and was also at end-of-life with its existing EMC storage infrastructure.
"We were also running out of storage capacity," Banger told iTnews.This storage investment wasn't the sole deciding factor in deploying the vBlock architecture, he said, but it was easier to justify additional spend on top of the storage refresh.
Whilst vBlock is typically marketed by EMC, Cisco and VMware as enabling what is termed a "private cloud", Banger noted that KPMG's clients demand intense scrutiny around security of confidential data.
Such is the level of concern that Banger's team has not used the word "cloud" when discussing the project - rather, the more sensible branding of "infrastructure optimisation."
Banger also stressed that KPMG's IT team remains "vendor agnostic" and "impartial" to protect the integrity of its advisory business.
That said, the success or failure of the team's implementation of vBlock is very likely to influence the advice the firm provides its clients.
"We perhaps can be a reference case for customers like Westpac, NBN Co and others," Banger said.
"Our IT team is moving toward greater alignment to advisory business - what we encourage clients to do we must deem to demonstrate ourselves."

Burned pizza?
Sometimes I have a problem where the pizza crust burns on the bottom and ruins it. Is this a result of the oven being too hot or I am using the wrong dough? This doesn't happen every time so I am having a hard time identifying where my problem might be. I am also using flour under the dough so that it slides easier off the peel. Could it be the flour?
Also, what do some of you do when you have a portion of your pizza leak through while cooking and make a mess of the oven floor?::confused:
Re: Burned pizza?
Some flour will always burn and you do want SOME char on your crust...
Are you using a lot of olive oil, or any sugar in your dough? These items help pizza crust brown in a regular oven, but are not really needed (though i use some olive oil) in a wood fired crust...
When I dump a pizza on the cooking floor, I generally scrape it out with the peel, then let it just burn off, hit it with the scraper side of my brush, then go again. It does slow everything down and cool the oven off a bit...
Re: Burned pizza?
It sounds to me like the fire is too hot. I had trouble with charring and I found that if I let the fire just sit for about 15 minutes it evened the temp. My temps get up to 1000 and my pizzas cook best around 750. If the temp is not high enough you may have cooked tops with gooey centers. Good luck.
Re: Burned pizza?
Too hot is possible. Usually if your dough ingredients are proper (no oil or sugar) and it still burns, check your hydration. 60 - 62 percent is about right.
Screw around with it but take casual notes. One day you'll get it perfect. The next time you'll forget what you did right.
Re: Burned pizza?
What kind of flour are you using? The Caputo 00 can take the heat a bit better than other flours. I usually cook at different temps for different flours. If I'm using caputo 00 then I let it get to about 800+ in the oven. If i'm using bread flour then 700 usually does it...otherwise I get overly charred bottoms.
Re: Burned pizza?
I had some miserably burned crust until I started getting real aggressive with the hydration. I went with slop and worked my way backwards. Slop made a great pizza, but was stupid-hard to handle so I looked for a balance of good spring, minimal char and ability to be shaped. I ended up at 65% on King Arthur's bread flour and 63% on Caputo 00. This will be heracy on this forum, but I actually prefer the KA flour-based recipe - - I grew up on the deviant 23" New York Style pizza.
Recently I took Telehort's advice and tried Peter Reinharts Neo-Neopolitan recipe from his American Pie book. Worked out very nicely (at 65% hydration).
Re: Burned pizza?
I burned my first pizza last night. Seems the dough was just a bit too thin. When I went to turn it, it broke in the center and it was all downhill from there. Once I finally got it out of the oven, it resembled a calzone with a cheesy coal center. :D
Re: Burned pizza?
Been there..... done that!
Re: Burned pizza?
there is nothing wrong with an "impromptu" calzone :-)
I have made a few myself

11 Fashionable Mother's Day Gift Ideas: Unique Necklaces And Jewelry Mom Will Love!
It's hard to choose a gift for Mother's Day that will make your mom feel truly special. For children young or grown, it's a great time to recognize all of those things that your mom has done for you throughout your life, starting with bringing you onto this earth. For those looking for jewelry ideas, here are some great finds that can be personalized and will become sentimental, not just for the materials they're made with, but because of their meaning. (Just click on the name of the item to get more information on any of the gift items suggested below.)
#1 Mother's Day Jewelry Gift Idea- Modern Heart Locket
This unique locket features an abstract symbol of mother and child embracing, but it has even more significant meaning for moms. The locket comes with individual birthstones, one for each month of the year that way moms can place their children's birthstones in the heart to be close to theirs. Of course, that might become problematic if more than one child is born during the same month! (See Modern Locket)
#2 Mother's Day Jewelry Gift Idea - Fingerprint Necklace
Making molds of a child's feet, hands or fingers has long been the practice of parents around the world, but typically, the resulting items do not allow parents to carry them around as a reminder of their children. Etsy store Rock My World has put together a unique creation that moms will certainly love to receive for mother's day. The cast a child's fingerprint in silver and shape it as a heart. With a Swarovski crystal and sterling silver chain; moms can always have that reminder of their love for their children, represented in a very unique way.
#3 Mother's Day Jewelry Gift Idea - Round Photo Locket
For moms who aren't into typical locket jewelry but still want the advantages of keeping their family's photos close to their heart with the unique and modern round photo locket. The photo compartments unfold vertically and can hold six pictures. Moms can put each of their children, and if they don't have six beloved pets and perhaps even a husband can make an appearance. (See Round Locket)
#4 Mother's Day Jewelry Gift Idea - Lucky Heart Locket
Another fun format for a locket that a more traditional mom is sure to appreciate looks like a classic heart locket when it's folded up. But moms can also have the option to show off their children's pictures by leaving the locket open, at which point it somewhat resembles a four leaf clover. What could be luckier than giving mom the opportunity to keep her children's pictures as a good luck charm from mother's day onwards? (See Heart Locket)

Midwest Living Review
Colleen Froehlich makes every food item at Froehlich's from scratch. Located in the tiny town of Three Oaks, about 10 miles north of the Indiana border, the shop is best-known for her breads -- honey sunflower, cracked corn, herbed cheese, French bread, muffins and bagels. But Colleen makes all of the canned preserves and jams as well. It's not surprising considering the neon Froehlich's sign behind the counter comes from Colleen's grandfather's grocery store. Early in the morning, most visitors stop in for baked goods, and you can see staff working in the kitchen. At lunch, you can order fresh sandwiches stuffed with local produce, meats and cheeses. A simple smoked turkey sandwich on a whole-grain roll was fresh, delicious and loaded with veggies -- well worth the $8 price tag. While you wait for your food, browse cookbooks, kitchen gadgets and Froehlich's canned goods, including home-grown and canned dill pickles, raspberry jam, roasted-cherry tomato sauce, spice mixes, even organic whole wheat dog biscuits.

It has been a rough past few weeks for the Mississippi State men's basketball team.
The Bulldogs have lost nine-straight games after opening up 2-0 in Southeastern Conference play.
MSU head coach Rick Ray wants his team to finish strong, but he knows to do that it has to find a way to stay in the game early.
That's something that certainly didn't happen during Wednesday's 78-36 loss to Missouri.
"We have to be in the game first, then we can worry about finishing it out," Ray said after the game.
It was the biggest loss for the Bulldogs in Humphrey Coliseum. They only scored 10 points at halftime and it took nearly 10 minutes before MSU got on the scoreboard.
"This is an embarrassing loss when you go out and you are totally inept offensively," Ray said. "You would hope that guys would have some pride in themselves and Mississippi State basketball, would want to go out and try to rectify that. If that's not enough, then we've got problems."
The Bulldogs start a two-game road trip today in Baton Rouge, La. MSU (7-16, 2-9) takes on the LSU Tigers (14-8, 5-6). Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. It can be seen on ESPNU.
The Tigers took the first game of the season in Starkville on Feb. 2. Anthony Hickey hit a floater in the lane with less than two seconds remaining to give LSU the come from behind win. MSU led by 14 points at halftime in that contest.
Dating back to last year's game in Baton Rouge, Hickey has hit a last second shot in the last two games between the teams.
The Bulldogs haven't been swept by the Tigers sine 2009. Since 1992, LSU has swept MSU five times.
If the Bulldogs see the losing skid stretch to 10 in a row, that would be the most since dropping 11-straight from Dec. 12, 1981 to Jan. 23, 1982.
MSU junior guard Jalen Steele has been suspend for the last two games. It is unclear if he will make the trip with the Bulldogs and play against LSU.
"(I have) no idea yet," Ray said after the Missouri game.
Mississippi native Johnny O'Bryant III leads the Tigers with 13.2 points per game. He scored 30 in a win over South Carolina on Thursday. Hickey is averaging 11.8 points per outing, Shavon Coleman adds 11 points per game and Andre Stringer is averaging just under 11 points per contest.
MSU freshman guard Fred Thomas paces the team in scoring with 10.2 points per game.ÂView more articles in:

Closing arguments expected today in stalking trial
Closing arguments are expected to be delivered today in the stalking trial of a Redding man and perennial candidate for local elected offices.
Russell Kay Hunt, 53, faces a maximum four years, eight months in prison if he's convicted of two felony stalking counts and a misdemeanor count of contempt of court for allegedly violating a restraining order his alleged victim obtained against him.
Hunt, who's representing himself in the case, repeatedly has said the woman suffers from mental health issues.
Hunt, who has unsuccessfully run for numerous local offices, including Redding City Council and Shasta County clerk, is accused of stalking the Redding woman from March 2011 until August 2012 after they met at a bar during a karaoke event.

The Northern Arapaho Tribe will host a "meet the artist" event at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the future site of the Northern Arapaho Veterans Park, south of the Wind River Hotel and Casino.
Lander artist Margery Torrey, who has been involved in the development of the park, has been commissioned to create a bronze sculpture for the new Northern Arapaho Veterans Park, scheduled to be completed within a year.
The monument will feature a warrior on horseback and is expected to be completed within the next two years, according to Torrey's website.
Sandy Whitehair, senior planner for the Northern Arapaho Engineering Department, says the monument is being created to "represent the Arapaho warriors and what it means to be an Arapaho and a warrior within the tribe."
The event will have two parts. The site dedication from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. will include a blessing of the site by Leonard Moss Sr., traditional Arapaho drumming by the Eagle Drum Group, and an introduction of Torrey and her plans for the monument.
A meeting will follow the dedication at 6 p.m. in the Entertainment Room of the Wind River Casino. The meeting will introduce officers of the non-profit veterans group made up of volunteers who have been working with the Northern Arapaho Engineering Office in the planning and construction of the park.
The meeting will focus principally on developing the non-profit group that hopes to extend its services beyond the construction of the park to provide resources for veterans. The group will be taking questions and suggestions from the community and hopes to select a name and logo from a survey of community submissions.
The meeting also will address planning issues and site concepts for the Northern Arapaho Veterans Park.

1. The Bush administration rejected all potential diplomatic solutions before the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began
After 9/11, the Bush administration demanded the Taliban extradite bin Laden. The Taliban "were ready to negotiate with Washington about turning over Osama bin Laden to a third country" on the condition that the United States provide evidence that bin Laden was involved in the 9/11 attacks.
The United States refused to negotiate and commenced their bombing campaign. President Bush later added there is "no need to discuss innocence or guilt" on the part of bin Laden. Though it is possible the Taliban weren't serious about their extradition offer, the point is the United States didn't even bother to entertain the notion, preferring violence.
The war in Afghanistan has resulted in the deaths of over 3400 coalition forces, tens of thousands of Afghan deaths and tens of thousands wounded.
Iraq also made tentative offers to avoid an invasion, saying they would allow US officials in the country to search for WMD and also promised to hold internationally-monitored elections. Saddam apparently offered to go into exile on the condition he be allowed to keep $1 billion. All of this was rejected, as war was preferred.
As a result, 4800 coalition forces died, as well as hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost us trillions of dollars.
2. The war in Iraq began long before the official start date in March 2003
The United States and Britain began bombing Iraq in mid-to-late 2002. These early bombings were "designed to weaken Iraq's air defence systems" and had "nothing to do with their stated original purpose of defending the marsh Arabs and the Sh'ia population of southern Iraq."
In addition, the CIA infiltrated Iraq in the summer of 2002 in preparation for the upcoming war. All of this was at a time when public officials were still pretending they wanted a diplomatic solution, but we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt they fully intended to invade the country.
3. The United States harbors known international terrorists
As George Bush famously said after 9/11, the United States "will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." States that harbor terrorists are just guilty as terrorists themselves, and they are subject to attack if they refuse to extradite them.
One problem with this logic is that the United States harbors terrorists.
Luis Posada Carriles is one such terrorist. He is wanted by Cuba and Venezuela for blowing up an airliner, killing 73 people. He openly admitted to bombing several hotels in Cuba. The US Justice Department has said he is "an admitted mastermind of terrorist plots and attacks." He worked for the CIA for much of his life, and the US refuses to extradite him (does that mean Cuba and Venezuela should bomb and invade the United States?).
He walks a free man in Miami.
Orlando Bosch was another such terrorist, who died in 2011. He was the leader of what the FBI called "an anti-Castro terrorist umbrella organization." He was implicated in the same airliner bombing as Luis Posada Carriles and later said that "you have to down planes, you have to sink ships, you have to be prepared to attack anything that is within your reach."
He was pardoned by the first President Bush in 1990 for illegally entering the United States and was permitted to live comfortably in Miami for the rest of his life.
4. The United States has long sided with Islamic fundamentalists
American political leaders want the public to believe that there is some grand struggle between Western democracy and Islamic fundamentalism, each diametrically opposed to the other in an epic conflict.
There is no such conflict. The United States sells billions of dollars worth of arms to the world's most extreme Islamic regime, Saudi Arabia, a theocratic monarchy.
In Saudi Arabia, people are executed publicly through a variety of methods, including beheading, stoning, crucifixion, and firing squad. Milder punishments include amputations and floggings. What merits such punishments? Things like "sorcery," adultery, drug use, and apostasy.
In addition, women are second-class citizens. There is no religious freedom. There is no freedom of the press or of speech. You cannot form a union. I could go on and on.
What about non-state Islamic fundamentalists? The United States began arming the mujahideen in Afghanistan before the Soviets invaded in 1979.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor at the time, later explained that "this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention." The operation was "an excellent idea" that had "the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap" giving them their own "Vietnam war."
In fact, the United States and the West were supporting Islamic fundamentalists all across the Middle East during the Cold War to counter the "communist" secular Arab nationalist governments and movements because these threatened US business interests.
Esteemed groups supported by the United States included the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
5. The United States undermined democracy in Iraq
Once the official reasons for the war in Iraq were exposed as charades, the rationale switched to "bringing democracy," to show how benevolent and amazing we are. This can be shown to be totally false as well.
Retired general Jay Garner was initially selected to head the Iraq occupation. He called for elections and for a swift US withdrawal. Apparently, however, he didn't get the memo, and was quickly replaced by Paul Bremer, who would tow the Washington line.
The US then did everything it could to block elections. Bremer "unilaterally cancelled what…would have been the first such election in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein." The US wanted a handpicked government to be in place. But Iraqis would not tolerate this.
A mass demonstration movement took place demanding free elections, and the US was compelled to go along with it, as the occupation had proven to be a total disaster.
Once the elections did take place, the occupiers took credit for them, pretending they were in favor of them all along. But that's standard.
6. Obama didn't "get us out of Iraq;" he was compelled to do so by the Iraqi people
The reason the United States left Iraq by the end of 2011 are well-documented. In 2008 negotiations between Iraq and the US began over the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). The initial draft proposed by Washington would have essentially allowed the occupation to continue indefinitely.
The final agreement ended up being the exact opposite of what Washington wanted, however, which now mandated all forces leave Iraq by the end of 2011.
Obama tried to renegotiate this agreement so some US forces could stay longer, but Iraq would have none of it, and the United States was finally out of Iraq by the end of 2011.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Captivate Trailer
Well this is awesome, Capcom, those lovable scamps who keep bringing delightful zombie game after zombie game are releasing a new "Dead Rising 2″ this one will ask the question "What would Dead Rising 2 have been like with Frank West instead of Chuck Green."
However it's not a direct retelling of "Dead Rising 2″ it supposedly has a different story, tougher zombie bosses and Chuck green, the main character from the first "Dead Rising 2″ gets to be your partner. Frank West also brings his camera back to the game.
Now here's the crappy part. It's a full disk release and they want 60 smackers for it…… hmmmm Is this going to be a new enough game to justify the cost? Maybe if you haven't played the first version of "Dead Rising 2″ otherwise seams like a bit of repackaging. To be honest I'm on the fence on this one. I need to know more.
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is due out later this fall.
Watching this trailer… am I the only one who thinks Frank got a little bit chunky and wrinkly?

Diet Mixed Messages? Not!
Tuesday, Oct 26, 2010
Don't blame mixed messages if you cannot stick to a healthy diet. A review of three prominent sets of dietary guidelines finds that, despite being derived from different nutrition research, all three essential messages are consistent: Eat more vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains, switch to monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from plants, and cut back on saturated fat and sugar.
These dietary guidelines were consistent from the USDA's MyPyramid, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's DASH eating plan, and Harvard's Healthy Eating Pyramid. Researchers claim that these basic guidelines will not change even as the evidence base for optimal eating continues to evolve.
These guidelines tell you that if you want healthy and nutritious meals for you and your family, you should focus on nutrient-rich foods and limited calories from added sugar and added fat.

St. Louis Native Serves as Roving Rabbi to the South
by Jim Winnerman
Traveling across 13 Southern states 50 weeks a year, native St. Louisan Rabbi Marshal Klaven has, perhaps, the most unusual "congregation" in the United States. "I (visit) as many as 100 congregations, none of which has a full-time rabbi," says Klaven, 31, who graduated from Parkway North High School and grew up attending Congregation B'nai El.
The ISJL Southern Cycling Sabbatical
by Rabbi Marshal Klaven
This spring, the ISJL Rabbinic Department introduced its first Southern Cycling Sabbatical, coordinating a five-community bike trip that took Rabbi Bob Levy of Temple Beth Emeth (Ann Arbor, MI) from the Georgia coast to New Orleans. Along the way, he offered leadership—at religious services, adult education events and more—to small and underserved communities.

It's not easy to find a challah in the Upper Cumberland section of north-central Tennessee. It's even harder to find a rabbi or a usable Torah scroll - except on a recent October weekend. That's when Rabbi Marshal Klaven, director of the Rabbinic Department of the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life...

It's early on a sunny Friday in January and the cotton fields of southeast Arkansas are a cold muddy brown.

The land here is flat, the arrow-straight highway running parallel to ever-present railroad tracks. Tractor dealerships, catfish eateries and rundown shacks blur by punctuated Baptist churches. Every few miles, a green sign announces another town with a population under 300...

Obey Says Democrats Must Avoid 'Suicide Pact'
(AP) Former U.S. Rep. Dave Obey says Wisconsin Democrats must unite against Republican Gov. Scott Walker and not form a ``suicide pact'' by attacking one another in the primary race. Obey spoke Wednesday on a conference call arranged by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Obey supports Barrett. His chief rival, Kathleen Falk, has been attacking Barrett more aggressively this week leading up to the May 8 primary. Obey says the only way Democrats can make credible arguments to defeat Walker in the June 5 election is to earn the trust of Democrats, independents and Republicans and avoid ``petty sniping.'' He says Democrats are the underdogs in the recall and they face an uphill battle against Walker because of all the money he has raised. Falk spokesman Scot Ross did not immediately respond.

Uncooked: Raw Afterthoughts
by, 10-27-2012 at 08:27 PM (2372 Views)
What is up everybody? now I am sure of you are shocked to see this blog, as I haven't done one in FOREVER, but after i saw ComingToCinema didn't do a blog this week, I thought someone ought to do one on this Raw. So, I'm glad to be back. This might be a permanent thing, it might not. We shall see. Let's get right into Monday Night Raw though!
- Rey Mysterio/Sin Cara vs Rhodes Scholars
- Punk/Cena promo
- Justin Gabriel vs Antonio Cesaro
- New General Manager
- Dolph Ziggler vs Daniel Bryan
- Punk vs Sheamus
So, the first good thing of the night is also what started the night. I liked the tag match, and I thought it had a nice flow. I am really like both teams, and could easily see a program between them. I mean, Rhodes Scholars win at Survivor Series to become champs, go in a program with Mysterio/Cara to the Rumble where they lose, then at Elimination Chamber Cara/Mysterio lose the titles, and sets up Cara vs Mysterio at WM 29. Either way, good match. Up next in the good column was the Punk/Cena promo. I know people either hate or love Cena, but I'm in the or category. I like the guy, and think he can be entertaining. This night was one of those nights. Up next was the US Champ going against Gabriel. Now I was surprised by this win. I expected Cesaro to win. It was a decent match for what it was. I hope we see more from these two as time goes on, and the title match that will likely happen isn't just thrown together at the last moment. Now, to the big moment of the night imo, AJ stepping down as GM, Vickie being the managing supervisor, and the accusation that AJ fraternized with one of the superstars. Personally I loved this angle. It gives Cena something to do with Ziggler for another month or two, takes AJ out of the GM spot where she wasn't doing much, and puts Vickie, who knows how to be annoying as hell, in a position of authority. Next was the match of the night, hands down. Ziggler vs Bryan. Personally, I see Bryan and Kane more as tweeners right now. They could easily dip to either side of the coin, but are perfect balancing in the middle. Another thing I would like to see a feud with Bryan and Ziggler. Now, this match to me was just a breath of fresh air into the night. Kudos there. Now, to end the good section, and end the night, was the lumberjack match. While this wasn't what i was expecting in a Punk vs Sheamus match, it was decent, and served it's purpose. Punk wins going into HIAC, Big Show screws Sheamus, and Ryback plants Punk to end the night.
- Ryback vs Miz
- Alberto Del Rio vs Zack Ryder
So in the bad section, I'm going to talk about ADR vs Ryder first. Man, I still don't get why the WWE is pushing ADR. They would be better off turning Orton heel, and having him be pushed as the top heel on SD. This was a bad squash match. Now, on to the bigger bad thing of the night, Ryback vs Miz. Yes I get the point was to put Ryback over going into HIAC, but honestly, I hope the WWE doesn't put the belt on him. Yes, he gets a HUGE reaction, but I feel like he hasn't mastered the ability of telling a story in the ring. He is just power. Look at Cena. Dude is a mix of strength, emotion, and story telling. He has mastered the ability to tell a story in the ring. I think Ryback has the ability to, but he needs more time. My hope is that he loses at HIAC, but doesn't drift away. I could see him being the champ in a years time, and it be a memorable reign.
- Kofi Kingston vs Michael M
- Big Show vs Kane
First up, was Kofi Kingston vs Michael M. Now, I think this could have been good, had this match been given time. It served it's purpose though of putting Kofi over going into HIAC. Then we have Show vs Kane. While this wasn't rivetting, it wasn't horrible. Again, this match served it's purpose of putting Show over going into HIAC.
This Raw was decent, with it being the go home show for HIAC. If the PPV was one of the big 4, I would expect the go home show to be ALOT better, but this was ok.
As always, I look forward to any and all comments! Thanks!

Globalisation, Transition and Development in China
The Case of the Coal Industry
By Rui Huaichuan
Introduction by Peter Nolan
Routledge – 2004 – 200 pages
Routledge – 2004 – 200 pages
Based on extensive original research, Globalisation, Transition and Development in China explains China's development strategy and its underlying forces, and the success of this strategy. It examines China's gradualist approach which emphasizes development first and regards transition and globalization as secondary, enacting liberalization of domestic markets and integration into the world economy in a paced way, avoiding dramatic changes which might impede or even reverse development, and argues that this approach is broadly correct. It considers China's failures, including the failure to build large globally competitive corporations despite the intention to do this, and shows how China's economic strategy has been implemented in detail with a case study of the large and important coal industry.
'China's coal mining industry is much in the news, both because of its appalling safety record and because of the way Chinese demand is forcing up world coal prices. This book is a useful examination of some of the problems facing the industry.' - The China Journal
'The book's most useful and interesting parts are the case studies, especially of Jixi and Shenhua, which contain many illuminating illustrations of the current problems of China's economy.' - The China Journal
Introduction 1. The Challenges Facing China 2. The Challenges Facing China's Coal Industry 3. Development: The Rise and Fall of TVE Coalmines 4. Transition: Transforming Traditional SOE Coalmines 5.

Huaichuan Rui received her PhD from the Judge Institute of Management, University of Cambridge, where she is currently a Research Associate. Her main interests are in globalisation and its impact on both developed and developing countries, and China's coal and related industries (steel, power and manufacturing). She also teaches in Cambridge and is consultant to various investment companies.

nant of patient survival has been confirmed (Smith et al., 1990; Konvolinka et al., 1995). Still, there is no consensus on the amount of patient volume necessary for optimal performance of a trauma center (Moore, 1995).
More than 30 years ago, the National Research Council (NRC, 1966) spotlighted the paucity of trained emergency personnel at every level of care. The growth in the number of prehospital providers and the increase in their level of training are among the major achievements of the past three decades. The number of prehospital providers is estimated today at about 650,000 nationwide (W.E. Brown, National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, personal communication, 1998). Accompanying this growth has been the creation and standardization of the prehospital curriculum. Since the enactment of the 1966 Highway Safety Act, NHTSA has spearheaded the development of standardized curricula for multiple types of prehospital personnel (U.S. DOT, 1996b). In a series of evaluations conducted from 1988 to 1994, NHTSA found that 72.5 percent of 40 states used standardized curricula (primarily NHTSA's) in training courses for prehospital providers (U.S. DOT, 1995). NHTSA's FY 1997 budget for the EMS division responsible for curriculum development is $1.5 million. By virtue of its leadership and support for prehospital training and state highway grants, NHTSA is the federal agency with the most consistent and long-standing presence in trauma systems development (U.S. DOT, 1996b).
Certification of prehospital providers also has progressed, with all 50 states having some kind of certification procedure (BLS, 1997). However, there is much variability in requirements for certification (U.S. DOT, 1996b). Thirty-nine states certify prehospital providers who have passed written and practical examinations administered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, a nonprofit certifying organization (NREMT, 1998). Yet, most states do not adhere to the registry's biennial reregistration requirement. Less than one quarter of the estimated 650,000 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) nationwide maintained their registration as of November 1997 (W.E. Brown, National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, personal communication, 1998).
There also has been considerable growth in the field of emergency medicine. The first emergency medicine residency program was formed in 1970. By 1998, the number of accredited residency programs had expanded to 120 (M. Schropp, Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, personal communication, 1998). The first certifying examination was given in 1980, one year after emergency medicine was recognized as a specialty by the American Medical Association Committee on Medical Education and the American Board of Medical Specialties. The number of board-certified emergency physicians catapulted to 15,202 by 1997 (American Board of Emergency Medicine, personal communi-

Scottish comedian Billy Connolly is joining the cast of Peter Jackson's highly anticipated film adaptation of J.R.R.Tolkien's book The Hobbit.
Jackson, who directed all three of the Lord of the Rings films, announced the news today while still in production on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, with the films shooting back-to-back in New Zealand.
In the films, Connolly will play Dain Ironfoot, a great dwarf warrior and cousin of Thorin Oakenshield.
Jackson welcomed the news of Connolly to Middle-earth, saying The Hobbit cast is now complete.
"We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the staunchest and toughest of Dwarves, than Billy Connolly, the Big Yin himself... We can't wait to see him on the Battlefield!"
Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey, the character he played in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Martin Freeman plays the central role of Bilbo Baggins.
Also returning from their roles in The Lord of the Rings trilogy are: Cate Blanchett as Galadriel; Ian Holm as the elder Bilbo; Christopher Lee as Saruman; Hugo Weaving as Elrond; Elijah Wood as Frodo; Orlando Bloom as Legolas; and Andy Serkis as Gollum.

We Die AloneBy: David Howarth (author)eBook
£6.83 RRP £9.49 You save £2.66 (28%)Buy eBook
DescriptionIn March 1943 a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from the most northerly part of Britain for Nazi-occupied Norway. Their mission was to organise and support the Norwegian resistance. They were betrayed, and only one man survived the ambush by the Nazis. Crippled by frostbite, snow-blind and hunted by the Nazis, Jan Baalstrud managed to find a tiny arctic village. There – delirious, near death – he found villagers willing to risk their own lives to save him. David Howarth narrates his incredible escape in this gripping tale of courage and the resilience of the human spirit.

hi bryan,
DOS programs generally don't work on wine. so if you're talking about
really old ones like redneck rampage, you need to use DOSEMU.
if you're talking about win32 stuff, what games? most of the older
stuff works really well on winex.
and note the "x" at the end of "winex". wine is not winex. and winex
is not wine.
you must pay for it. works out to be $5/month
specifically for games
not too good with games. useless for direct-x stuff.
note that i've been told that DOSEMU can run some win32 apps (by DOSEMU
developers), and wine/winex can run a few DOS apps (by wine developers).
but i have yet to see an example for myself. ;)

Why did the large copper butterfly become extinct in Britain in the 1850s? And why have attempts to reintroduce it failed? The mystery may soon be solved by a study in a remote fen in Cambridgeshire.
Andrew Pullin of the University of Keele in Staffordshire is heading a three-year research project at Wood Walton Fen, where an attempt to reintroduce the large copper butterflies (Lycaena dispar) failed in 1927. The first phase of Pullin's project comes to fruition next month when caterpillars - the larval stage of moths and butterflies - become active again after hatching last September.
'We expect the caterpillars to start feeding in the next few weeks, when we will be able to assess how many have survived,' says Pullin. He says previous attempts at reintroduction appear to have foundered during the 'overwintering' stage, after which up to 95 per cent of the larvae inexplicably fail to ...

Market Prices
The market is a common place for trade, where buying and selling of goods and/or services take place. In doing trade, you need to meet certain market price requirements or specific amount of money you need to complete a transaction. Though some may freely haggle over market prices, in some trading places, market prices are fixed.
Market prices determine the financial worth of an item or service. The rise and fall of market prices may be determined by some economic factors such as fluctuating interest rates, market conditions, supply and demand, as well as market prices of other commodities. The best example for this is rising oil prices. An oil price hike may result in rising market prices for other commodities. This is because oil is used as an energy source for machineries and equipment needed for production. Delivery of goods and services through transportation may also affect movement in market prices.
Natural disasters and other calamities may influence changes in stock market prices. These unforeseen events may cause delay in production, which limits the supply available to the buying public. With higher demand but lower supply, market prices may go up. However, this is not always the case for other commodities.
Determining Market Prices
Traders come up with market prices based on the following:
- Analysing the worth or value of the item based on production budget and other operational cost such as the use of electricity, manpower, or transportation.
- Comparing past market prices and the total estimated value of the item based on appraisal.
- Considering the law of supply and demand along with other economic factors.
- Determining movement in market prices based on competition.
Market Prices Tips
If you want to get better market prices, here are few smart tips to keep in mind:
- Know where to go. The key to getting the best deals out of market prices is knowing where to look for a good buy. Learn more about your options. Various sources may help you either as a trader, a retailer, or a stockbroker. Go online and explore your options.
- Shop and compare. In order to get a better deal, it's always best to shop around. Search for better features, quality of services or goods, and discount packages.
- Deal with reputable traders. Do business with companies, retailers, or traders that guarantee safe transactions. Pay for high quality goods or services. Market prices should be worth what you're getting in a transaction.
- Know when is the best time to buy or sell. This will help you secure better trading opportunities out of market prices.

I've spent some time looking for a guide on how to decide how to store data and functions in a python class. I should point out that I am new to OOP, so answers such as:
data attributes correspond to "instance variables" in Smalltalk, and to "data members" in C++. (as seen in http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html
leave me scratching my head. I suppose what I'm after is a primer on OOP targeted to python programmers. I would hope that the guide/primer would also include some sort of glossary, or definitions, so after reading I would be able to speak intelligently about the different types of variables available. I want to understand the thought processes behind deciding when to use the forms of
c, and
d in the following code.
class MyClass(object):
a = 0
def __init__(self):
b = 0
self.c = 0
self.__d = 0
def __getd(self):
return self.__d
d = property(__getd, None, None, None)

The cockpit lighting can be switched on and off on the central console. Look down and right! That only works in OSG, as do the other clickable cockpit objects.
To twiddle knobs (OSG only again, I'm afraid! Use LMB to increment by 1, MMB to decrement by one. The scroll wheel increases and decreases in larger steps. At least it will if your mouse buttons are mapped in the same way that mine are! Hold the mouse cursor over the standby digits of NAV/COM/ADF boxes to adjust, then press the button to flip the freqs. You can also adjust CDIs and the heading bug using the FMP on the glareshield.

Hey, um, I'm trying to find information about a certain toyline that I experienced growing up. Unfortunately, I have no idea what it was called-- I can only offer figure discriptions. I had two or three of the figures, and they all had the following features:
1. Between 5-7 inches tall (guess.) They were all the same size.
2. All had traditionally anime looking heads
3. all had attachable armor pieces
4. all were heavily articulated, but with springs connecting all of the parts
5. rather extree, armored looking sculpts--large boots, gloves, etc.
If anyone knows what this toyline is called or has any other information, please respond. Thanks, and have a good week.

Sufficient neutral atom and molecular throughput is essential for the steady-state operation of the proposed Tokamak Physics Experiment tokamak. To predict the throughput, the B2 edge-plasma fluid code and the DEGAS Monte Carlo neutral transport code were coupled globally. For the day 1 low-power (17.5-MW) operation condition, the recycling coefficient for both codes matched at 0.985, implying that for every 1000 ions striking the divertor plate, 15 are ultimately removed down the pump duct. The neutral molecular density was 2.52 ± 0.15 × 1019/m3, giving a throughput of 92.6 ±5.6 Torr · ℓ/s. Varying the scrape-off length for the plasma extending into the gap between the baffle and the plate from 0 to 2 cm decreased the throughput by a factor of >2. Moving the strike point away from the gap at first increases the throughput by lessening the pumping efficiency of the plasma in the gap. As the plasma is moved even farther away, the throughput drops due to a lack of source term for neutrals entering the pumped region. Illustrating the importance of moving the source term, moving the strike point away from the gap but retaining the original plasma in the gap lowers the throughput by a factor of 10. Altering the curvature of the baffle has little effect on the neutral solution.

When They Gon' Make That Bentley Truck?!?! Peep The Pics From The Geneva Car Show And Find Out…- By Bossip Staff Categories: For Your Information, For Your Viewing Pleasure, Hate It or Love It?!?!
Who knew tha 2 Chainz was so clairvoyant? LOL
It isn't often that a car literally makes you say WTF aloud. But it isn't often that you see a V12-powered SUV. A Bentley SUV, no less. Pictures cannot convey the obnoxious scale of the Bentley EXP 9F concept here at the Geneva auto show, so we'll tell you it rides on 23-inch wheels and leave it at that. It's hard to make sense of the 9F and its unashamed bling at a time when so many automakers are stuffing small engines into small cars, or eschewing engines and petrol for motors and batteries. Naturally, the 9F comes with a 12-cylinder engine, although Bentley's Peter Guest was quick to note a plug-in hybrid would be an option, were the behemoth to make it into production. Bentley is currently gauging reception from the few hundred people in the world who a.) would want a Bentley SUV and b.) could afford it. The 9F feels terribly wrong on all levels until you sit in on a few press conferences with luxury automakers who say the United States remains their largest market, but China isn't far behind. Maserati, for instance, already sells half as many Maserati GranTurismos in China as they do in the states. And Bentley, which saw a banner year in 2011, enjoys particularly brisk sales in China. So from that perspective, the 9F makes a ton of sense (more like four tons, given the car's dimensions). It's perfect for a violently nouveaux riche market. It's big, it's brash and it's completely obvious, a Continental GT on steroids.If you had a couple-hundred thousand extra bucks, would you pick up one these jawns?

Roll of Honour from Kelvin, Bottomley and Baird, Basingstoke
The factory in Winchester Road made aircraft instruments, and during the Second World War they made altimeters and compasses for the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. This factory later became Smiths Industries Aerospace. The site was demolished in 1996 and became the Brighton Hill Retail Park.
This Roll of Honour was made at the factory and commemorates workers who lost their lives in the Second World War.

What I Lost
I had lost my Itouch, a gift from my family. Both a valuable memento, but also something that as a student I could not afford to replace.
Why I Prayed to Saint Anthony, and What Happened
I honestly and truly believe in the power of prayer. A while ago, I closed my heart to God after experiencing much difficulty in my life. Only recently have I begun to pray again; this was after I realized that it was not God who left me, but rather I who closed my heart to Him.
I prayed to St Anthony as I truly believed this item was lost forever. I knew that it could not be replaced. I felt like I let my whole family down, and that I was not deserving of expensive things.
I prayer with utter hopelessness and desperation to St. Anthony after I realized that he was the patron of lost Items.
Literally within minutes, my lost item was found.
- I often wonder why St. Anthony is helping people. In the "Prayers to St. Anthony for the Restoration of Things Lost or Stolen," I have found the answer. The saint would work for our petitions "if it be to the greater glory of God and to the spiritual benefit of my soul." The granted favors, whether big or small, thus direct our attention to God's glory. As for our souls, he seeks God's blessings in restoring our peace of mind and in banishing anxiety - a major obstacle to our spiritual health
What Prayer Did You Pray to Saint Anthony?
Prayer to St. Anthony for lost items
St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find (name the lost item) which has been lost.
At least restore to me peace and tranquillity of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me
