- UFC on Fuel 7
Barao v McDonald announced for Wembley Arena
Thursday brought massive news for the UK MMA scene with the announcement that the February 16 card at London's Wembley Arena will host an interim bantamweight title fight between Renan Barao and Michael McDonald.
The UFC confirmed several bouts on its official Twitter account on Thursday morning, with Brits Terry Etim, Paul Sass, Che Mills, Andy Ogle, Vaughan Lee and Phil Harris all confirmed for the event.
But the major news surrounded the main event, as Brazilian sensation Barao - undefeated in 29 fights - takes on arguably the most exciting young talent in the UFC, McDonald. It will be the first title fight on UK soil since BJ Penn fought Joe Stevenson in 2008.
As interim title holder at 135lbs, Barao had been waiting for his chance to meet champion Dominick Cruz but that plan was shelved due to an injury setback for Cruz. Now Barao will have to defend his interim strap, against a man who has never lost in the UFC.
McDonald brings explosive knockout power and an extremely well-rounded skill-set, way beyond his 21 years. Barao, who has previously beaten England's Brad Pickett, outclassed Urijah Faber in his last outing and will surely start the night as favourite.
Elsewhere, the highly-talented Terry Etim returns against Renee Forte, a Brazilian boasting a 7-2 record, coming off a loss to Sergio Moraes at UFC 153. Etim has not fought since a January 12 loss to Edson Barboza due to a shoulder injury and staph infection.
In the welterweight division, Matt Riddle gets his wish to fight another Brit after being paired with Che Mills. Riddle will almost certainly be the least popular man in London after his digs at the British public, but he is coming off a win over John Maguire and will be a tough test for Mills, whose last outing ended prematurely due to an injury to Duane Ludwig.
Paul Sass gets the chance to get back in the winner's circle following defeat to Matt Wiman by taking on another experienced rival in 33-year-old Danny Castillo. The American lost to Michael Johnson last time out, but won his previous three including a victory over Anthony Njokuani.
Vaughan Lee, recently rumoured to be fighting Urijah Faber, has actually been paired with Motonobu Tezuka of Japan, who lost on UFC debut via split decision to Alex Caceres. Andy Ogle, meanwhile, will meet Josh Grispi at featherweight, knowing he cannot afford to lose to a man who is on a three-fight losing streak.
And February 16 will also play host to Europe's first UFC flyweight encounter, with Brit Phil Harris taking on Ulysses Gomez. Harris has 21 wins to his name, 13 by submission, but lost on UFC debut to Darren Uyenoyama. Also coming off a loss is Gomez, who was knocked out by John Moraga in his last fight.

Will Wong Kar Wai's New Film Be a Blockbuster?

Baked oysters with wild mushroom ragout
For the Oysters
2 dozen oysters
For the Aioli:
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the Ragout:
1 cup diced thick-sliced hickory-smoked bacon
1 or 2 shallots, minced
1 cup wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
Leaves of 1 sprig fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Buy the oysters. When buying oysters, look for a tag with the harvest date and use them within a week of that date. Also, make sure the oysters are fresh and alive; the shells should be tightly closed or should close when tapped.
An hour before shucking, scrub the oysters with a stiff brush under cold running water to remove any grit. Set them aside to relax muscles in shell. They will open with more ease.
Shuck the oysters. Hold the oyster, curved-side down, in a towel on a cutting board. Insert an oyster knife between the shells at the narrow pointed end. (Use a real oyster knife-there is no substitute!) Press down firmly on the oyster to prevent slipping and twist the knife to pry the shells apart. Use the knife for leverage; do not use force. Cut the muscle that connects the oyster to the top shell with the knife, being careful not to pierce the meat. Remove the top shell. Slide your knife under the oyster to loosen it, keeping the meat and liquid in the shell. Use your knife to carefully scrape away any shards of shell.
Make the aioli. Blend the garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil with the motor running and process until thick. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the aioli to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate.
Prepare the ragout. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Add the shallots and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic, cook 3 minutes, then add the butter and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the oysters. Preheat the broiler. Place the oysters, in their shells, in individual baking dishes or one large dish. (Put a crumpled sheet of foil underneath them to keep them steady, if necessary.) Top each with a spoonful of mushroom ragout.
Finish the dish. Top each oyster with a dollop of aeoli. Broil until the aeoli is golden, about 2 minutes, and serve immediately.

Brad Pitt is unharmed after a minor motorcycle accident, Us magazine reported.
Early reports stated that the Inglourious Basterds star and father of six was bumped from behind by a paparazzo and fell off his bike, but TMZ is now reporting that the star clipped his bike's handlebars on a parked car while trying to maneuver through traffic at a red light, causing his bike to fall over.
Pitt was wearing his helmet and wasn't injured. He removed his bike from the road and was picked up at a nearby apartment complex. TMZ reported that the star left his motorcycle at the scene.
Pitt once told W Magazine in an interview that his helmet provides the added benefit of disguising him from the paparazzi. "This is my anonymity," he told the mag.

CRUMBACHER - A local man says property he owns in Okanogan County is being fraudulently used in a marijuana retail license application.
Paul Bell said he owns the property at 210 Crumbacher Road, which according to state records is listed on the state marijuana retail license application for The Green Nugget business.
"This is not good," Bell said, noting the property is the site of the former Crumbacher store. "I just put it on the market."
Bell's dilemma is something the state is seeing in multiple locations, state Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter said Friday.
The Liquor Control Board oversees licensing for growing, processing and selling marijuana under the state's new law.
"There's a lot of them," Carpenter said of fraudulently used addresses. "There was a limited time frame in which to apply. Some applied with an address that appeared to be I-502 compliant."
Initiative 502, which legalized the growing, processing, sale and use of a limited amount of recreational marijuana, was approved by 56 percent of voters statewide in November 2012. In Okanogan County, 51.4 percent of voters supported the measure. In Ferry County, the measure passed with 51.1 percent.
Under Liquor Control Board guidelines, 334 businesses will be licensed to sell retail marijuana to adults statewide, including one in Ferry County and five in Okanogan County – one of which must be located in Omak.
The Sage Shop, 605 Omache Drive, is the only Omak business to apply for a retail marijuana license in that city, according to a marijuana retail license application list updated Dec. 31.
That address is located in Omache Shopping Center and is currently divided into three suites housing Maytag Laundry, H&R Block and La Tress' beauty salon.
The Green Nugget is one of at least 19 businesses in North-Central Washington to apply for a retail marijuana license.
Bell said he has never heard of The Green Nugget and reaffirmed the property that business claimed is his.
A search of Okanogan County records shows Bell indeed owns the land and house with a combined taxable value of $80,400.
According to Bell, he transformed the former Crumbacher store into a residence prior to deciding to sell it.
"Now, all the neighbors are asking about it," he said. "And mine was the only one (property) licensed to be commercial (in Crumbacher)."
Carpenter said the state will investigate applicants and addresses prior to issuing any retail marijuana license.
"The information that you are seeing on our website was submitted by the applicant and it will be investigated," he said. "It's raw data. These things have to be vetted."
Carpenter said the investigation process requires proof that an applicant has the legal authority to speak for the property in question. Without that authority, an application will be denied.
Bell said it's possible the owners of The Green Nugget business included the address in hopes of both buying the property and establishing a marijuana retail shop on it. But to date, "nobody's said a thing to me," he said. "I think I'll call the state and find out what's going on."
When The Chronicle contacted the state and asked about obtaining more specific information on The Green Nugget's application, Carpenter directed the newspaper to file a formal public records request.
A search of the Internet shows two marijuana-related businesses in California containing "Green Nugget" in their names.
The Green Nugget Therapy officials in Arrow Lake and Big Bear, Calif., said they were not seeking a license in Washington state.
Officials at The Green Nugget, a cannabis clinic in Los Angeles, referred calls to a supervisor who wasn't available when the business was called.
Back in Washington state, The Green Nugget's officials could still change the address on the retail marijuana application, Carpenter said. In the meantime, the information posted on the website will stay.
"The information was submitted," Carpenter said. "It's a public record that we have to post."
In addition to The Green Nugget and Sage Shop, other businesses seeking retail marijuana licenses in the region include:
• The Roach 420, state Highway 173, No. 826
East Wenatchee
• Canabis Rock Island Road, 44 Rock Island Road, Suite 4
• Green Room, 852B Valley Mall Parkway
• Grun, 430 Rock Island Road
• Just Breathe, 858 Valley Mall Parkway
• The Happy Crop Shoppe, 50 Rock Island Road
• The Lid, 1931 N.W. Cascade Ave.
Electric City
• Brandy's Antiques, 226 Coulee Blvd.
Grand Coulee
• Brandy's Antiques, 319 Midway Ave.
• Stone Cold Wellness, 1 Spokane Way
• Secret Herb Shop, 360 U.S. Highway 395N.
• Sukhleen LLC, 2020 N. Main St.
• 4US Retail, 32141 U.S. Highway 97
• Green Valley Living, 50 Frontage Road
• Simple Solutions, 1159 state Highway 7
• Cannabis Mission Street, 212 Fifth Ave., Suite 12
• Dank Depot, 3765 Clemons St., Unit 3
• Fun Spirits, 902 N. Wenatchee Ave.
• SMP Retail, 1510 N. Wenatchee Ave.
• The Happy Crop Shoppe, 1210 N. Wenatchee Ave., Suite J.
• The Roach 420, 1326 N. Wenatchee Ave.
• Austin Lott, 29 Horizon Flats Road Suite 7
Wenatchee is guaranteed at least three retail licenses from among the six allocated to Chelan County.
Douglas County is allocated three licenses, with at least one earmarked for the city of East Wenatchee.
Washington will become the second state to allow retail sales of recreational marijuana. On Jan. 1, retail sales became legal in Colorado.
Although the state Liquor Control Board isn't yet saying when retail marijuana licenses will be issued, spokesman Brian Smith said recreational marijuana is expected to be available in stores in late May or June.

Clearwire is currently in the middle of building out their 4G WiMAX network to 120 million people this year, but the company remains technology agnostic and could switch to the more popular 4G standard LTE (Long Term Evolution). Starting this fall, Clearwire will begin testing several LTE scenarios in Phoenix, Arizona to demonstrate the company's unmatched spectrum holdings.
Initial LTE tests are expected to demonstrate real-world download speeds ranging from 20-70 Mbps. Clearwire points out this is significantly faster than the 5-12 Mbps expected from "other operators in the U.S.", which is a clear jab at Verizon who is already testing their 4G LTE network.
The super fast download speeds are a result of Clearwire's vast spectrum holdings, which allow them to tap a lot of new capabilities that no other carrier in the country can do. Clearwire intends to conduct FDD LTE (Frequency Division Duplex) tests using 40 MHz of spectrum (paired in 20 MHz contiguous channels) of its 2.5 GHz spectrum. Other carriers deploying LTE are limited to smaller pairs of 10 Mhz channels or less, so Clearwire is the only one in the U.S. that can do this 20 megahertz arrangement.
To put it simply – Clearwire has the biggest pipe so they can deliver the most throughput (fastest download speeds).
Clearwire also revealed that a number of large wireless operators are expected to participate with them on these LTE tests. The speculation that Sprint and T-Mobile will eventually merge has been growing and if both carriers end up using LTE for their 4G networks then it could make more sense. T-Mobile has confirmed they had talks with Clearwire for possible network collaboration, so they could be one of the unnamed operators that will participate in these tests.
Even though Clearwire could eventually transition to LTE in the future, WiMAX is not being phased out anytime soon. Best Buy recently formed a relationship with Clearwire and expects to become their first major wholesaler of 4G data. Clear still expects to launch two 4G handsets this year and should release more details in the coming weeks.

An excerpt from John Main, ESSENTIAL WRITINGS, ed. Laurence Freeman (Marynoll, NY: Orbis, 2002), p. 109.
The purpose of saying the mantra is that it becomes the focus of your attention. We are not thinking of anything nor are we pursing any insights that may come to us as we say the mantra.
Let them all fall away as you come to an ever deeper silence in which the only sound in your mind is the mantra.
The mantra itself will teach you the patience needed to say it. It will also teach you the humility needed. In meditating we are not seeking to possess God or to arrive at a profound insight about God. We are seeking simply to accept the gift of our own creation as fully as we presently can and to respond to it as generously as we can. To do this we learn to be still, to be silent, and to be truly humble.
In common-day language, the essence of meditation is to leave the ego behind. We are not trying to see with the ego what is happening. Ego-vision is limited by its own self-centeredness. The eye with which we see without limit is the eye that cannot see itself. The paradox of meditation is that once we give up trying to see and to possess, then we see all and all thing are ours.
After meditation: An excerpt from "October," Mary Oliver, NEW AND SELECTED POEMS (Boston: Beacon Press, 1992), p. 62.
Sometimes in late summer I won't touch anything, not
the flowers, not the blackberries
brimming in the thickets; I won't drink
from the pond; I won't name the birds or the trees;
I won't whisper my own name.
One morning
the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident,
and didn't see me—and I thought:
So this is the world.
I'm not in it.
It is beautiful.

Two FBI agents visited a family grocery in Berkeley on Monday to investigate a broken window they believe animal rights activists smashed because the market has a butcher shop.
Berkleyside first reported the connection between the smashed window the federal investigation on Tuesday.
The Pappas family has run Star Grocery on Claremont Avenue since 1922. Its front window was smashed around 2 a.m. on July 27, according to owner Nick Pappas. He wasn't aware of the animal rights connection until the FBI contacted him a few days later, he said.
"We've had burglaries, we've had hold-ups," Pappas said, not thinking much of the vandalism at first. He was "shocked" when the FBI called shortly afterward. "I guess someone didn't like the fact that we sold meat."
Berkeleyside reported that the FBI apparently had been monitoring the website of Bite Back, an animal liberation organization based in Florida. The site posted pictures of the broken windows of Star Market in its "Direct Action" section. The magazine received news about the windows from someone who calls himself "veganarchist lone wolf."
"On the night of June 26th two windows were smashed at Star Meats in Berkeley CA, a butcher shop that boasts about its organic and locally sourced meat," the site said. "Cage free, organic, murder is murder and death is death. This is a continuation of last years actions in which windows were smashed out of Waylands Meat Market in Oakland and windows smashed in an East Oakland Burger King."
Included in the post was a photo of Star Grocery's smashed windows.
Neighbors thought the vandalism was a shame.
"This is a neighborhood treasure," said loyal customer Sandy Friedland. "There is no reason to throw rocks at windows. There are other ways to protest."

What is the Legal Externship Program?
LEP is a 4-credit hour non-graded program which enables
you to extern with a supervising attorney in a wide variety
of legal areas – private or public, civil or criminal. Externships
are available for the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters.
Most public sector externships enable you to obtain a 711
license and appear in court.
Students interested in civil law may extern in a wide
variety of places. For example, some have externed at the
City of Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office of
the Illinois Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission,
Immigration Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal
Revenue Service, and Environmental Protection Agency, as
well as major corporations like Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company
and Rush University Medical Center.
Students interested in criminal law have externed at the
U.S. Attorney's Office, the Office of the Federal Defender,
and at the offices of the State's Attorney and Public Defender
in Cook County as well as the surrounding counties.
Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement what you learn
in the classroom, you need practical experience in real-world
legal work. Most students aren't fortunate enough to receive
a paid clerking position — or even a volunteer opportunity
— that teaches what they want to learn. LEP presents a unique
and important opportunity to gain exposure to an area of
the law in which you are interested and helps you significantly
broaden your future employment opportunities.
Applications for Summer/Fall 2008 Legal Externships are
currently available in the Law Offices reception area (Room

On January 8th, 2008, Professor Richard Kling and his Law
Offices Colleague, Susana Ortiz, saw victory in the case
of their client, Herb Whitlock. Mr. Whitlock, of downstate
Paris, Illinois, was wrongfully incarcerated on murder charges
for over 20 years and thanks to the efforts of Professor
Kling and Ms. Ortiz and teams of Law Offices clinic students
who have been working on the case for the past 7 years,
Mr. Whitlock saw freedom when the State dismissed the charges
against him as a result of a new trial obtained for him
by Kling and Ortiz. In the Appellate Court opinion which
granted Mr. Whitlock a new trial, the Court cited the fact
that favorable evidence was hidden from the defense and
that Mr. Whitlock's trial counsel was ineffective for failing
to investigate key forensic evidence that would have shed
serious doubt on the credibility of the State's witnesses.
After his release, Mr. Whitlock was reunited with his daughter,
Brittany, who was 12 at the time of his original trial and
he met his seven-year old grandson for the first time. Read
the article from the Chicago
Tribune. CBS television show 48 Hours Mystery
ran a show about this case on March 1, 2008. For more information
about this show, please visit the CBS
48 Hours Mystery webpage.
On January 7, 2008, Professor Daniel Coyne was admitted
on motion in open court before all nine justices of the
supreme court in a group admission ceremony. The admission
was sponsored by the National Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers. There were ten admittees from various jurisdictions
across the country. Immediately following the admission,
the death penalty case of Baze v. Rees was argued.
Baze challenges the propriety of the use of lethal
injection to execute condemned inmates.

The Esurance Commercial Song
The new Esurance commercials have been out for almost a month now, and if you've watched them as many times as we have (doubtful, but maybe) you've likely had the Esurance commercial song stuck in your head once or twice.
Not too surprising, considering the song (or to be more precise, "tune," since there are no lyrics), is a Grammy-winning masterpiece. It s guitar legend Chet Atkins's "Jam Man," and if you've got to have something stuck in your head, it sure beats the Gilligan's Island theme song.
About "Jam Man"
The track comes from Chet Atkins's 1996 album Almost Alone. a collection of mostly solo instrumental pieces Atkins recorded at the age of 71 (and was far from his last album!). The song itself grabbed the '97 Grammy for Best Country Western Instrumental Performance.
About Chet Atkins
In a legend-filled genre that boasts names like Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams (Sr. and Jr.), and Dolly Parton, many aficionados consider Chet Atkins (a.k.a. Mr. Guitar) to be one of the most important and influential performers to ever pick up a guitar.
Born in 1924, Atkins expressed a love of music from an early age, learning the fiddle before moving on to the instrument that would eventually gain him entrance to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Dropping out of high school, he took the first of several jobs performing for a radio station. But many people felt that the sophistication of his guitar playing just wasn't "country," which made it hard for him to hold a regular country-and-western gig for long. (In later years, he even recorded a jazz album or two.)
After a few more radio jobs and a short stint with the Grand Ole Opry, Atkins finally signed to RCA Victor, where he eventually became the lead producer of the label's Nashville office. There, he proved instrumental in developing the so-called "Nashville Sound", and also continued recording his own groundbreaking guitar work, which employed a unique thumb-and-two-finger playing style of his own invention.
By the time of his death in 2001, he had performed on well over 100 albums in a 51-year recording career.

This past December Mary McGee told the crowd in Albuquerque, NM (USA ) after her fourth round knockout over Victoria Cisneros, " It would be great to come back and fight here again, the fans were great and it was awesome." Her wish was granted as this Saturday night she will take on 12 time champion Holly Holm in Holm's final fight in boxing, Holm plans to pursue a career in MMA after the McGee fight.
McGee who is 20-1-1, is looking forward to taking on Holm and a shot at stardom in women's boxing. "Holly has been the face of women's boxing and a true champion, this fight he biggest fight ever for me, so I need to take full advantage of the opportunity." says McGee
Many in the women's boxing community feel that McGee is to small or doesn't have a chance but promoter Lenny Fresquez feels McGee has a chance considering what she did in her last fight with Cisneros. " Mary hits hard and Victoria is as tough as they come and McGee stopped her. Victoria went 20 rounds with Holly and 10 with Braekhus and they didn't stop her, so Mary can punch and that gives her a shot."
McGee works as a registered nurse when not fighting, but also finds time to work on a project close to her heart, Women's Boxers of Kampala Project, a project to help the women in the poverty stricken country of Uganda, who want to train and box get better facilities and equipment to continue their dreams in boxing.
Its something that touches me, "I have a good life and if I can help these women in their dreams then it's another purpose to why god has me on this earth." McGee has pledged to give part of her purse from the Holm fight to the project. McGee's cause has touched many people who jumped on board including promoter Fresquez.
"As an strong advocate of women's boxing for many, many years," Fresquez said, "I was moved to learn of the plight women boxers in Kampala face. I applaud Classic Women Warriors Boxing for its lead role concerning this compelling story, as well as Mary McGee for donating part of her purse, and proudly join them by making a donation to support the Women's Boxers of Kampala Project.
Win or Lose, McGee will continue to help women obtain their dreams in boxing, but first she will look to turn her dream Saturday night Holm's nightmare. "I want to inspire people and with this win I hope to do just that."

I hate making mistakes as much as anyone. But I'm human, and I make them.
When I make a mistake in a story, I write a correction, followed by, "The Northwest Herald regrets the error." A correction alone won't cut it – I owe you an apology. If the error in question is in a story about the McHenry County Board, a voice or email message is typically waiting for me first thing in the morning from a board member or county staff.
On May 26, a handful of McHenry County Board members held an illegal meeting to change a proposed redistricting map. On Aug. 12, Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office agreed with my complaint that the meeting violated the Open Meetings Act.
It's been more than a month, and there has been no public contrition from anyone involved.
A brief recap is in order. County Board Chairman Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, convened the private meeting with four other members to hash out problems that some of them had with the post-census remap of County Board districts set to be approved later that day by the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
It included Vice Chairman John Jung, R-Woodstock, Marc Munaretto, R-Algonquin, Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, and Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry. It was convened at the request of Anna May Miller, R-Cary, who could not attend – her husband, Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Robert Miller, attended in her place.
Jung, Munaretto and Provenzano are members of the legislative committee, and under the law, three members of a seven-member committee constitutes a meeting that must be open to the public with advance notice. But the group decided instead to have Jung and Provenzano rotate in and out of the room to avoid the legal definition of a meeting.
This illegal meeting didn't look good at all. It was meant to alter a map, painstakingly developed in the open, to determine how we elect our leaders for the next decade.
Isn't the public owed an apology?
At the very least, the rest of the County Board is owed one. Many of them were not pleased about the secret meeting, and cited it as among the reasons why they voted to trounce the proposed map that came out of it. Several members were upset enough to schedule an Open Meetings Act workshop July 19, an hour before their regular meeting.
Apologies hurt the pride, but they're not hard. Say you're sorry for the illegal meeting, and mean it. And do it publicly.
Apologies can speak volumes. But silence does, too.

With the personal computer industry losing steam, Nvidia has expanded its graphics chips into tablets and is working on smartphone chips, but it is meeting stiff competition from Qualcomm Inc. and other rivals, and some analysts said the chipmaker should exit those markets.
In the third quarter, sales from Nvidia's Tegra mobile chips fell 54 percent and sales from its PC graphics chips, which accounts for the majority of the company's total revenue, declined 2 percent.
Nvidia expects its mobile chip business, called Tegra, to remain flat this year as it focuses on integrating Long Term Evolution (LTE) features on upcoming components, making them compatible with high-end carrier networks and more attractive to smartphone makers.
Nvidia's lighter-than-expected revenue forecast follows other chipmakers that have failed to impress analysts.
Several semiconductor companies, including Texas Instruments Inc, Intel Corp and Qualcomm, have given current-quarter revenue forecasts in recent weeks that disappointed Wall Street, raising concerns that manufacturers of industrial and consumer devices might have overestimated the macroeconomy.
Nvidia's most recent Tegra 4 processors are being used in Microsoft's Surface 2 tablet and a smartphone made by Xiaomi in China but Wall Street is concerned it is making too little progress for the money it spends to develop the chips.
"Look at the tablet space; Apple and Samsung are captive and there's no chance Nvidia is going to have a long-standing business there," said Evercore analyst Patrick Wang.
Many of the tablets in the fast-growing Chinese market are made with inexpensive components supplied by Mediatek and other local chipmakers.
Some analysts, including Wang and Needham's Rajvindra Gill, said Nvidia should shed its mobile chip business and stick to more profitable areas such as gaming PCs, automotive and enterprise computing.
"What they should do is try to spin out Tegra or sell the business related to phones and tablets," said Gill. "Become a much higher margin company and continue to return capital to shareholders."
Nvidia's PC graphics chips are widely used in high-end laptop and desktop computers favored by gamers. Sales of those computers have been healthier than sales of less expensive laptops, which consumers are switching away from in favor of tablets.
"We still believe strong growth in terms of the overall gaming side of that will continue as we go into Q4. But overall, the PC market, and our low-end PC (graphics chips) are probably expected to continue what we have been seeing in Q3," Colette Kress, who took over as Nvidia's CFO in September, told analysts on a conference call.
This week, Nvidia announced that Amazon Web Services was making the chipmaker's high-end graphic computing power part of its cloud services offering.
Nvidia has been promoting the use of its graphics technology in new places such as data centers. Offered remotely, Nvidia's graphics chips could be used to provide computing power for people playing high-performance games on tablets and other mobile devices.
"Grid is potentially, long-term, the largest opportunity for our company," Chief Executive Jen-Hsun Huang told Reuters in a telephone interview. "I expect it to grow very nicely next year."
Also in its report on Thursday, the company announced a 13 percent increase in its quarterly dividend, and said its board authorized an additional $1 billion for its stock repurchase program.
Revenue was $1.054 billion and net income $119 million, or 20 cents a share, in the third quarter ended in October, compared with $1.204 billion and $209 million, or 33 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EPS in the third quarter was 26 cents.
It said revenue in the fourth quarter would be $1.05 billion, plus or minus 2 percent.
Analysts on average expected revenue in the third quarter, which ended in October, of $1.052 billion and fourth-quarter revenue of $1.083 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Nvidia shares were flat in extended trading after closing down 2.38 percent at $14.55 on Nasdaq.

Chung: China Has Burgeoning RV Market
January 25, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Chung: China Has Burgeoning RV Market
China is hungry for the kind of recreational vehicles built in Southern California — at least according to the Chinese entrepreneur who struck a deal with a Riverside firm to build and export $5 billion worth of them.
The Chinese government has placed a focus on developing the RV industry as a cornerstone of the Chinese ideal of the happy home life, Winston Chung told the Los Angeles Times.
"A family with an RV is a family more in harmony with each other," he said, speaking through a translator. "During vacations, people can get into the RV and enjoy quality family time."
Under Chung's agreement with MVP RV of Riverside, Calif., the company plans to manufacture the vehicles in the U.S. and export them to China. However, Chung would not rule out moving operations to China in the future.
Chung spoke about the burgeoning market in China for the motorhomes after a news conference with UC Riverside Chancellor Timothy P. White, where they announced Chung's $10-million donation to UCR's Bourns College of Engineering.
In an interview with The Times, a smiling Chung cheerfully detailed his plans to build and export 30,000 diesel-powered motorhomes to China, and eventually to develop electric-powered RVs. Chung, 52, is the founder of battery maker Winston Global Energy.
The nascent Chinese RV industry has the potential for high profit margins, despite high taxes on gas-guzzling vehicles, Chung said. He added that the increasing value of the yuan, the Chinese currency, will make buying an RV more affordable for families.
Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, Winston Global Energy produces batteries for electric bikes, electric motorcycles, electric automobiles and hybrid vehicles, and is currently the only company in the world engaged in mass production of rechargeable storage batteries for buses.
Last year, Chung became a majority owner in Riverside's MVP RV Inc. The company hopes to soon begin manufacturing 10,000 tour-bus-style and 20,000 smaller recreational vehicles. They will be exported over the next three to four years. The company said it would hire 1,200 new workers, primarily in production line jobs.
Formed in 2008, MVP RV began producing primarily travel trailers but stopped production four months later when stifled by the recession. The company was exploring the idea of building electric cars when the owners were introduced to Chinese entrepreneur Chung.
He paid $18.6 million in July for the Riverside factories and headquarters that were once the home of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc., which filed for bankruptcy protection and left the area in 2009.
For now, the emphasis will be on gas-powered RVs, he said. The Chinese market "is really into gasoline RVs, so that is why we want to focus on that and trying to import it into China," he said. "If we do move manufacturing to China, I would like it to be for the manufacturing of electric RVs."
MVP RV has already created a prototype for the electric motorhome and Chung plans to invest more money in the development of the technology in the near future.
Chung's interest in Southern California began with his initial investment in MVP RV, but he has business dealings in several Southland transportation firms. He hopes to begin developing an electric yacht and plans to invest in several boating companies in Southern California to do so.
Today (Jan. 25), a heavy-duty truck, tractor and electrical systems maker in Los Angeles County that is also owned partly by Chung will announce that he has ordered $15.9 million worth of electric vehicle drive systems made in Southern California for buses in China.
Balqon Corp., based in Harbor City near Long Beach, said it expects to hire 150 workers over the next 18 months to build 300 electric vehicle drive systems to power buses carrying 15 to 40 passengers each. The drive systems are being purchased by Chung's company in China, Winston Global Energy.
"This order from Winston Global Energy validates the competitiveness of our technology in the global marketplace and will result in the creation of high-tech green jobs domestically," said Balwinder Samra, Balqon chief executive. Chung is a major shareholder in Balqon, founded in 2005.
The UCR gift would be the largest in the school's history, officials said. A building within the college of engineering will be renamed Winston Chung Hall and two professorships and a research center will be established in his name. The gift is to fund research related to clean battery power, solar energy and sustainable transportation, according to the university.
The research center, called the Winston Chung Global Energy Center, will focus on "life source rare earth lithium batteries," a technology invented by Chung, bio-inspired technology and the development of clean energy and energy storage, according to the school.
The gift is "a match of his passion with our ability," White said. Chung added that this would be his first donation to the school, but he is in talks to continue donations to the school, specifically to medical research.

The polymorphous perversity and technical pornography of Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses earned it vigorous censorship in many countries, including our own. There's no getting around the film's unflinching sexuality: it's a film for which the term "sex scene" is redundant: scenes that aren't sex scenes are certainly the rare exception. Sex is the point: the overwhelming, addictive power of orgasmic pleasure and the unfortunate truth that one can have too much of a good thing.
Set in 1936, Oshima's film recounts—in its own fictionalized way—the true story of Sada Abe (Eiko Matsuda) and Kichizo Ishida (Tatsuya Fuji), sexual partners whose marathon love-making ended in tragedy (Matsuda and Fuji bravely perform unsimulated sex and emotional vulnerablity). Once told by a doctor that she's "acutely sensitive," former prostitute Sada invariably becomes intoxicated with sexual pleasure, and her voracious lovemaking pushes physical boundaries, from biting, pinching and slapping to auto-erotic asphyxiation to creative breaches of body cavities (including the insertion of an egg where the sun don't shine). There's a chance that she meets her match in Kichizo, the owner of the hotel where she works as a maid. Once they are in each other's throes, they don't eat, don't sleep, don't clean: at one point, she won't even grant him a moment to pee (unless he does it inside her). According to Sada, Kichizo's penis belongs to her. In turn, Kichizo offers, "My body is yours; do as you please with it."
Naturally, nearly all of the dialogue is comprised of pillow talk, much of it intimations or overt threats of violence and mortal carnage. Sada makes constant references to death, ever linked to orgasm ("le petit mort" to the French). Would ecstatic pleasure, taken to its fullest extreme, include both sex and death? "I guess you have to approach death to feel the height of ecstasy," Sada muses, and the coupling quickly takes on sado-masochistic tones. The relationship incorporates the universal fantasy of being wanted intensely by a beautiful sexual partner, but like Icarus flying too close to the sun, these lovers destroy themselves in pursuit of the fullness of their desire. As with a drug, an excalation is required to maintain a high.
The film, by its nature, implicates the audience by encouraging compulsive voyeurism; Oshima is well aware that the sensational story set off a media frenzy stoked by an insatiable public. Like his characters, Oshima is determined to explore and transgress sexual boundaries, if they even exist, by posing a challenge to conventional morality. A scene of Kichizo walking the opposite direction of Japanese troops marching off to duty intriguingly places the characters apart from conventional wisdom and socially acceptable violence. Back within the paper walls of their private sexual universe (which Oshima supplies with a suggestion of prison bars), the lovers are not as free as their libertine sexuality might make them appear. For one thing, jealousy rears its ugly head: desire is possessive, and for ultimate heterosexual give-and-take, Sada has to wield her own penetrative power.
Criterion's A/V rendering of In the Realm of the Senses is perfection, authentically reproducing the filmmaker's intentions with a clean, crisp, colorful image and original monaural sound. Visual detail is astonishing, easily besting any previous DVD iteration, and the colors are deep and rich. The spotless, film-like image is complemented by the well-balanced uncompressed mono track.
As is their custom, Criterion supplies a wealth of contextual material. "Oshima and His Actors" (5:38, HD) is a 1976 Belgian TV interview with director Nagisa Oshima and his leading actors Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda.
"Tatsuya Fuji" (17:17, HD) is a 2008 Criterion exclusive interview.
The 2003 program "Recalling the Film" (38:48, HD) features interviews with production coordinator Hayao Shibata, line producer Koji Wakamatsu, assistant director Yoichi Sai, and film distributor Yoko Asakura.
Approximately six minutes representing trims from six scenes comprise "Deleted Footage" (12:20, HD).
Last up is the "U.S. Trailer" (2:20, HD).
Criterion also includes a 38-page booklet including film credits, tech specs, and two important essays on the film: Donald Richie's "Some Notes on Oshima and Pornography" and the director's own writings, collected as "Nagisa Oshima on In the Realm of the Senses."

Bauman: Fans speak, justice prevails
The election of retiring third baseman Cal Ripken to start for the American League in the All-Star Game is a "triumph of sentiment," says MLB.com's Mike Bauman.

Ian Browne dissects NL voting
Official MLB release
Final All-Star balloting results
The people have spoken. And they have spoken with intelligence and acumen.
For all the fears that have been voiced about the balloting for the 2001 All-Star Game -- oh, no, they're going to elect nine Mariners -- the results largely represent victories for common sense and good judgment.
And by the way, there will be no issues about a recount in Florida. Online balloting, international balloting, a record number of ballots cast; the whole thing taken together produced something resembling a rational election.
Quibbles? Always. This is baseball. This is now-international politics. If you don't want an argument, don't hold an election.
For instance, the election of Cal Ripken at third base for the American League is a triumph of sentiment. On merit, the selection should have gone to Troy Glaus. But the election of Ripken, in this, his final season, is so understandable, that it almost becomes, in its own sentimental way, all right. This is the baseball public paying tribute to one of the game's greats, saying thank you to a man whose perseverance set a standard for all times. That's not fair to Troy Glaus, but on the larger scale, we don't have to appeal this one to the Supreme Court.
Four Seattle Mariners were elected? This looks more like the result of merit than ballot-box stuffing.
The Mariners have been by far the best team in baseball during the first half of the season. Where is the argument against Bret Boone, John Olerud, Ichiro Suzuki, and Edgar Martinez?
All right, we know where the argument is. At second base, the argument would be Roberto Alomar. At first base, the argument would be Jason Giambi. But these are close calls. All four Mariners are richly deserving of these honors, based on their performances. They are not the only deserving candidates. But they are deserving.
This is not like 1957, when Cincinnati turned the All-Star voting into an old-time, Chicago-style election and the then-commissioner, Ford Frick, stepped in and booted two Reds off the starting lineup.
"Everybody goes back to those instances with the Reds when Ford Frick stepped in because he felt that the thing was really stacked," Commissioner Bud Selig said in an interview with MLB.com. "But I see none of that here at all. Look, the Mariners are having a wonderful season, and they deserve recognition. On balance, I think the voting came out very well."
There were some Mariners further up the electoral food chain than their numbers might have suggested. So what's the alternative? Do you tell people in Seattle they shouldn't be so excited about one of the greatest half-season performances in the history of humankind? Do you say: "Look, we know your team is tearing up the league, we know the All-Star Game is in your city, but for the sake of a quiet election, don't get all excited and vote for your favorite players or anything."
If there were four Tampa Bay Devil Rays in starting positions, then you'd have a fundamental problem. But what you have here is probably a reflection of the tremendous excitement created by an astonishingly successful ballclub. Let's not make that illegal.
Elsewhere, those of us who like to think of catcher as a defensive position would have liked Charles Johnson to be voted in as the National League starter. And in the outfield, maybe the NL voters could have found room for Larry Walker or Lance Berkman, both of whom are having tremendous seasons. But the voters couldn't have found room for both, because Barry Bonds or Sammy Sosa and Luis Gonzalez have to be there.
But these are individual, subjective judgments, just as votes often are. Overall on this All-Star election, there were a few foibles and a few obvious areas of dispute, but on balance the voters held up their end of the deal. Done the right way, this democracy thing is really kind of enjoyable.

It is possible that the main title of the report Papillitis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Papillitis, also known as optic neuritis, is characterized by inflammation and deterioration of the portion of the optic nerve known as the optic disk. Also referred to as the "blind spot," the optic disk (optic papilla) is that portion of the optic nerve that enters the eye and joins with the nerve-rich membrane lining the eye (retina). The optic nerves are the pair of nerves (second cranial nerves) that transmit impulses from the retina to the brain. Individuals with papillitis experience loss of vision in one eye that may occur within several hours of onset. The severity of visual impairment may vary from case to case, ranging from slight visual deficiency to complete loss of light perception. In addition, affected individuals experience a reduction in color perception. In some cases, spontaneous recovery may occur. However, in other cases, permanent visual impairment may result if the underlying cause is not detected or treated. Papillitis may occur for unknown reasons, after a viral illness, or due to or in association with a number of different underlying disorders or other factors.

Every Wednesday, the Freddie Mac Foundation sponsors a segment on local news channels in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC, turning the cameras on one of their kids who is in need of adoption.
The latest was Justin, a "quiet, reserved child" who sure does love video games. So for his turn he was sent to just about the best place a nine year-old can go: a PlayStation video games demo event, where he could spend the day playing PS3 and Vita games that aren't even out yet.
The highlight? Aside from the look on Justin's face the whole damn time, it's got to be the awkward pause when he reveals he and his friends have...an Xbox and a Wii.

Hi! I have been reading this forum since my DD was first born in and has been so helpful to me as I got the hang of nursing and eventually pumping at work. I am finally at the point where I have a question, that even after reading similar posts, I think I need some specific advice. I am going to speak to a IBCLC tomorrow, but I would like as many people to talk to about this as possible.
So please excuse the long post in advance!
My daughter will be 9 months on the 6th. Over the past month she has been slowly dropping bottles of EBM during the day while I am at work. My DH stays at home with her and has been awesome at making sure she is eating to keep with my supply and not overfeeding. He offers bottles on a regular basis (maybe every 1.5 to 2 hours) of 2 or so oz.
At this point she will either scream and cry when she sees the bottle or take it eagerly and then spit it out a few seconds later and refuse it. These are the same bottles and nipples she has had since we first introduced them to her at 3 months. (Dr. Brown, slow flow nipple) DH has tried regular cups and two different sippys all with limited success.
He has started to bring her to my workplace so I can nurse her during my lunch break. The milk that I am pumping is starting to back up in the fridge and I am starting to add to my freezer stash since she is drinking minimal amounts (less than an oz) during the day.
I normally pump 3x at work and used to pump 2x at home so DD would have the right amount of oz per hours away from me. I am down to the 3x at work now and my supply doesn't seem to be suffering yet. I nurse her on demand at home (evenings and weekends) and we co-sleep so she nurses at least 2 or 3 times during the night. I think she is having enough wets and poops at least once a day. She is happy, meeting milestones etc. We are going for her 9 mo check up next week so I don't know about weight gain at this point, but I know she is growing!
Ok, finally, here is my question. If my DD continues to refuse EBM bottles, should I just stop pumping at work-nurse her during lunch and let my DH just offer her water and some solids for the rest of the day until I get home and nurse on demand? Should he still continue to try other sippys? other bottles?
I guess I'm worried my supply will suffer if I stop pumping at work and we have 3 months to go until she is 12 months and I can stop worrying so much and just nurse her when I am home. I have never had a supply problem, so I think it will be ok. But after pumping for so long I feel like I'm stepping off a cliff if I stop! Granted, like many other mamas, I will be happy to see the pump packed up and in the closet some day soon!
Any advice, reassuarance, anecdotes etc. is much appreciated!

While some outfits are good for engagement session, not every option makes the cut for formal wear. Case in point? You and your beau are attending your first wedding of the season, but when you peer in his closet you're encountered with a limited options. Which is where we come in, here's a list of what your beloved should absolutely NOT wear to any wedding, no matter what the dress code may be.
What not to wear to a wedding
ONE | Baseball cap, or any hat that isn't formal
TWO | Sneakers, you're not running a marathon, you're just dancing
THREE | Scuffed shoes, because honestly this is just sloppy
FOUR | Man flops, because the happy couple doesn't need to see an un-manicured man foot
FIVE | Distressed denim, this is more VMA than big day
SIX | Short sleeve dress shirts, opt for a button-up and roll the sleeves if you're toasty
SEVEN | Crazy prints, because nothing is dizzier in a picture than a loud Hawaiian shirt
EIGHT | Jorts (Jean shorts), it's a wedding not a fraternity party
NINE | Cargo pants, it's not survival school so there really is no need to store snacks in your pockets for later
TEN | T-shirts of the cotton variety (an even bigger taboo if they include graphics), it's a formal event so be sure leave the casual shirts in the closet
Now that we've outlined a few of the 'unacceptable' items, it's only fair that we show you some prime examples of what to wear. Scroll below and see how a few handsome guests show off their personal style all while adhering to a variety of dress codes!
