The international spotlight will be trained on Greek politics in May, as a Greek population straining at the reins of austerity takes to the ballot box.
Global utilities have underperformed in 2012, but opportunities exist for investors in well regulated and politically stable regions, Per Lekander, analyst at UBS, told CNBC.
Stock markets are likely to see a selloff of around 10 percent in the second quarter but over the longer term share prices may go even lower, according to Bob Janjuah, co-head of global macro research and head of tactical asset allocation at Nomura Securities.
With a bearish outlook on the Chinese economy, this analyst says his strategy is to stay short of the Aussie dollar.
Commodity exporting nations should prepare for a future in which commodity prices are far less likely to increase at the pace of the last decade and could in fact decrease, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report warned on Tuesday, in an update to its World Economic Outlook.
European traders logging on Tuesday morning for the first time since Thursday found a shakier marketplace than they left.
Key indicators are showing heightened risk of another "funding squeeze" in Europe despite action by the central bank to pump more than 1 trillion euros of cheap loans into the region's lenders through its longer-term refinancing operation, Patrick Perret-Green, head of FX & rates strategy for Asia at Citi told CNBC on Tuesday.
South-Eastern Europe could throw up some surprises to the downside, Peter Attard Montalto, emerging market economist at Nomura, told CNBC on Thursday.
Credit rating agencies are sparring in public over new ratings as they seek to enhance reputations damaged during the financial crisis. The Financial Times reports.
The U.S. dollar has had a great week, and this strategist thinks there is more to come.
The problems faced by Spain and the long-term effects of the European Central Bank's mass liquidity injections are still weighing down stock and currency markets around the world.
Barclays Capital is tempering its bullish stance on European stocks in the short term as the investment bank sees markets entering a sideways correction phase.
Anyone expecting the Bank of England to make a move on interest rate or monetary easing policy this month is guaranteed to be disappointed, economists have told CNBC.com
Here's a simple strategy to play Friday's employment report using the euro and the dollar.
CNBC's Steve Liesman reports that the private sector added 209,000 jobs in March. Joel Parkken, chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers, weighs in on the numbers.
The euro is on a downward path against the dollar, though the pair are likely to remain in the same general range they have been trading in for the past two years, because the greenback is not necessarily a better currency.
Known for their strong work ethic and no-nonsense attitude, the Dutch were close to losing their patience with troubled Greece earlier this year. But with the AAA-rated country now also firmly among the euro zone's budget sinners, it needs to get its books in order fast.
'Tis the season for a major commodity currency to do well, this strategist says.
Some of the greatest and best-educated brains in the euro zone have pondered the question: how would you break up the euro zone?
Like a marriage that no longer works, the euro zone should accept its fate, split up and get divorced, according to Roubini Global Economics.

Skip to comments.One Marine's View
Posted on 09/14/2004 9:36:34 AM PDT by evad
September 11, 2004 Dear America,
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -George Orwell
The Marine Corps is tired. I guess I should not say that, as I have no authority or responsibility to speak for the Marine Corps as a whole, and my opinions are mine alone. I will rephrase: this Marine is tired. I write this piece from the sands of Iraq, west of Baghdad, at three a.m., but I am not tired of the sand. I am neither tired of long days, nor of flying and fighting. I am not tired of the food! , though it does not taste quite right. I am not tired of the heat; I am not tried of the mortars that occasionally fall on my base. I am not tired of Marines dying, though all Marines, past and present, mourn the loss of every brother and sister that is killed; death is a part of combat and every warrior knows that going into battle. One dead Marine is too many, but we give more than we take, and unlike our enemies, we fight with honor. I am not tired of the missions or the people; I have only been here a month, after all. I am, however, tired of the hypocrisy and short-sightedness that seems to have gripped so many of my countrymen and the media. I am tired of political rhetoric that misses the point, and mostly I am tired of people "not getting it."
Three years ago I was sitting in a classroom at Quantico, Virginia, while attending the Marine Corps Basic Officer Course, learning about the! finer points of land navigation. Our Commanding Officer interrupted the class to inform us that some planes had crashed in New York and Washington D.C., and that he would return when he knew more. Tears welled in the eyes of the Lieutenant on my right while class continued, albeit with an audience that was not very focused; his sister lived in New York and worked at the World Trade Center. We broke for lunch, though instead of going to the chow hall proceeded to a small pizza and sub joint which had a television. Slices of pizza sat cold in front of us as we watched the same vivid images that you watched on September 11, 2001. I look back on that moment now and realize even then I grasped, at some level, that the events of that day would alter both my military career and my country forever. Though I did not know that three years later, to the day, I would be flying combat missions in Iraq as a! n AH-1W Super Cobra pilot, I did understand that a war had just begun, on television for the world to see, and that my classmates and I would fight that war. After lunch we were told to go to our rooms, clean our weapons and pack our gear for possible deployment to the Pentagon to augment perimeter security. The parting words of the order were to make sure we packed gloves, in case we had to handle bodies.
The first Marine killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom was in my company at The Basic School, and was sitting in that land navigation class on September 11. He fought bravely, led from the front, and was killed seizing an oil refinery on the opening day of the war. His heroism made my emergency procedure memorization for the T-34 primary flight school trainer seem quite insignificant. This feeling of frustration was shared by all of the student pilots, but we continued to press on. As one ins! tructor pointed out to us, "You will fight this war, not me. Make sure that you are prepared when you get there." He was right; my classmates from Pensacola are here beside me, flying every day in support of the Marines on the ground. That instructor has since retired, but I believe he has retired knowing that he made a contribution to the greatest country in the history of the world, the United States of America.
Many of you will read that statement and balk at its apparently presumptuous and arrogant nature, and perhaps be tempted to stop reading right here. I would ask that you keep going, for I did not say that Americans are better than anyone else, for I do not believe that to be the case. I did not say that our country, its leaders, military or intelligence services are perfect or have never made mistakes, because throughout history they have, and will continue to do so, despite their best ef! forts. The Nation is more than the sum of its citizens and leaders, more than its history, present, or future; a nation has contemporary values which change as its leaders change, but it also has timeless character, ideals forged with the blood and courage of patriots. To quote the Pledge of Allegiance, our nation was founded "under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." As Americans, we have more freedom than we can handle sometimes.
If you are an atheist you might have a problem with that whole "under God" part; if you are against liberating the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Asia, all of Europe (twice), and the former Soviet bloc, then perhaps the "liberty and justice for all" section might leave you fuming. Our Nation, throughout its history, has watered the seeds of democracy on many contininents, with blood, even when the country was in disagreement about those decisions. Disagre! ement is a wonderful thing. To disagree with your neighbors and your government is at the very heart of freedom. Citizens have disagreed about every important and controversial decision made by their leaders throughout history. Truman had the courage to drop two nuclear weapons in order to end the largest war in history, and then, by his actions, prevented the Soviets from extinguishing the light of democracy in Eastern Europe, Berlin. Lincoln preserved our country through civil war; Reagan knew in his heart that freedom is a more powerful weapon than oppression. Leaders are paid to make difficult, sometimes controversial decisions. History will judge the success of their actions and the purity of their intent in a way that is impossible at the present moment. In your disagreement and debate about the current conflict, however, be very careful that you do not jeopardize your nation or those who! serve. The best time to use your freedom of speech to debate difficult decisions is before they are made, not when the lives of your countrymen are on the line.
Cherish your civil rights; I know that after having been in Iraq for only one month I have a new appreciation for mine. You have the right to say that you "support the troops" but oppose the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. You have the right to vote for Senator John Kerry because you believe that he has an exit strategy for Iraq, or because you just cannot stand President Bush. You have the right to vote for President George W. Bush if you believe that he has done a good job over the last four years. You might even decide that you do not want to vote at all and would rather avoid the issues as much as possible. That is certainly your option, and doing nothing is the only option for many people in this world.
It is not my place, nor am I al! lowed by the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, to tell you how to vote. But I can explain to you the truth about what is going on around you. We know, and have known from the beginning, that the ultimate success or failure of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the future of those countries, rests solely on the shoulders of the Iraqi and Afghani people. If someone complains that we should not have gone to war with Saddam Hussein, that our intelligence was bad, that President Bush's motives were impure, then take the appropriate action. Exercise your right to vote for Senator Kerry, but please stop complaining about something that happened over a year ago. The decision to deploy our military in Iraq and Afghanistan is in the past, and while I believe that it is important to the democratic process for our nation to analyze the decisions of our leadership in order to avoid repeating mistakes, it is ! far more important to focus on the future. The question of which candidate will "get us out of Iraq sooner" should not be a consideration in your mind. YOU SHOULD NOT WANT US OUT OF IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN SOONER. There is only one coherent exit strategy that will make our time here worthwhile and validate the sacrifice of so many of our countrymen. There is only one strategy that has a chance of promoting peace and stabilizing the Middle East. It is the exit strategy of both candidates, though voiced with varying volumes and differing degrees of clarity. I will speak of Iraq because that is where I am, though I feel the underlying principle applies to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
The American military must continue to help train and support the Iraqi Police, National Guard, and Armed Forces. We must continue to give them both responsibility and the authority with which to carry out those responsibilities, so that they eventually can kill or capture the former regime elements and foreign terrorists that are trying to create a radical, oppressive state. We must continue to repair the infrastructure that we damaged during the conflict, and improve the infrastructure that was insufficient when Saddam was in power. We should welcome and encourage partners in the coalition but recognize that many will choose the path of least resistance and opt out; many of our traditional allies have been doing this for years and it should not surprise us. We must respect the citizens of Iraq and help them to understand the meaning of basic human rights, for those are something the average Iraqi has never experienced. We must be respectful of our cultural and religious differences. We must help the Iraqis develop national pride, and most importantly, we must leave this country better than we ! found it, at the right time, with a chance of success so that its people will have an opportunity to forge their own destiny. We must do all of these things as quickly and efficiently as possible so that we are not seen as occupiers, but rather liberators and helpers. We must communicate this to the world as clearly and frequently as possible, both with words and actions.
If we leave before these things are done, then Iraq will fall into anarchy and possibly plunge the Middle East into another war. The ability of the United States to conduct foreign policy will be severely, and perhaps permanently, degraded. Terrorism will increase, both in America and around the world, as America will have demonstrated that it is not interested in building and helping, only destroying. If we run or exit early, we prove to our enemies that terror is more powerful and potent than freedom. Many nations, like Spai! n, have already affirmed this in the minds of the terrorists. Our failure, and its consequences, will be squarely on our shoulders as a nation. It will be our fault. If we stay the course and Iraq or Afghanistan falls into civil war on its own, then our hands are clean. As a citizen of the United States and a U.S. Marine, I will be able to sleep at night with nothing on my conscience, for I know that I, and my country, have done as much as we could for these people. If we leave early, I will not be able to live with myself, and neither should you. The blood will be on our hands, the failure on our watch.
The bottom line is this: Republican or Democrat, approve or disapprove of the decision to go to war, you need to support our efforts here. You cannot both support the troops and protest their mission. Every time the parent of a fallen Marine gets on CNN with a photo, accusing Presiden! t Bush of murdering his son, the enemy wins a strategic victory. I cannot begin to comprehend the grief he feels at the death of his son, but he dishonors the memory of my brave brother who paid the ultimate price. That Marine volunteered to serve, just like the rest of us. No one here was drafted. I am proud of my service and that of my peers. I am ashamed of that parent's actions, and I pray to God that if I am killed my parents will stand with pride before the cameras and reaffirm their belief that my life and sacrifice mattered; they loved me dearly and they firmly support the military and its mission in Iraq and Afghanistan. With that statement, they communicate very clearly to our enemies around the world that America is united, that we cannot be intimidated by kidnappings, decapitations and torture, and that we care enough about the Afghani and Iraqi people to give them a chance at democrac! y and basic human rights. Do not support those that seek failure for us, or seek to trivialize the sacrifices made here. Do not make the deaths of your countrymen be in vain. Communicate to your media and elected officials that you are behind us and our mission. Send letters and encouragement to those who are deployed. When you meet a person that serves you, whether in the armed forces, police, or fire department, show them respect. Thank the spouses around you every day, raising children alone, whose loved ones are deployed. Remember not only those that have paid the ultimate price, but the veterans that bear the physical and emotional scars of defending your freedom. At the very least, follow your mother's advice. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Do not give the enemy a foothold in our Nation's public opinion. He rejoices at Fahrenheit 9! /11 and applauds every time an American slams our efforts. The military can succeed here so long as American citizens support us wholeheartedly.
Sleep well on this third anniversary of 9/11, America. Rough men are standing ready to do violence on your behalf. Many of your sons and daughters volunteered to stand watch for you. Not just rough men- the infantry, the Marine grunts, the Special Operations Forces- but lots of eighteen and nineteen year old kids, teenagers, who are far away from home, serving as drivers, supply clerks, analysts, and mechanics. They all have stories, families, and dreams. They miss you, love you, and are putting their lives on the line for you. Do not make their time here, their sacrifice, a waste. Support them, and their mission.
I know what you feel like- I spent most of 1969 and part of 1970 in the fine Republic of Vietnam with the Marine Corps. Although the North Vietnamese Army was a strong fighting force, when the Marines got support and leadership, they generally kicked a lot of ass; although it generally came at a price- the blood of our brothers killed and wounded in a long, often incomprehensible struggle.
This was generally ignored in the press and college campuses, but we had to tough it out for each other and, believe it or not, our country. You guys are fighting in a different war- although you get undercut in the press and by the libs-THIS IS A WAR WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. I know that the support for you Marines (and all our troops) is a lot higher in the hearts of the American people than gets reported; moreover, those of us who have "seen this before" are wise to the tricks of the media and its protester allies.
We know that the enemy is counting on the fifth column in America to win for them politically what they can't win in a slugout with American forces.
Take heart. If it was easy, they wouldn't have sent the Marines. We pray for you daily and support you more than you can know. God speed your victory and safe return.
To every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Guardsman protecting me, or who has done so in days gone by:
Thank you.
Most inspirational read. It can't be said too often, may the Lord bless and keep our brave fighting men and women.
Thanks for the post -- and may God bless the troops and all public servants and citizens who protect this great country!
Thanks for all you do. You are in my daily prayers for a safe return. My sons where both in the military. One army and one air force. Thanks again and my God be with you all.
It's been a long time since I've here, even longer since I've posted, must have had a "Senior Moment" to have forgotten about the Great Free Republic!
God Bless this Brave Marine and all our troops who are also serving so bravely wherever their Commander in Chief needs them and yes, and sacrificing so much to serve. They need to know that we grieve for each & every precious life that is lost or body maimed. We continue to keep each and every one of you and our Allies in our thoughts & prayers and hope that God, Allah, or whoever will hear us and keep each of you safe.
I want to say I SUPPORT and HONORALL the American Troops AND ALL our ALLIES. We are not the only country or people to have lost loved ones. Most Americans "forget" or "don't care" about those.
I hope you don't mind if I send this particular page to many of my "used to be Republican but seem to have gone senile and CRS about 9/11" friends and who now doubt our Presidents decision to "stay the course". One is extrememly adamant this election, "orating" to everyone who will listen about how "even the troops are disgusted, demoralized and want to get out of there, that the Iraqi people don't want them (Coalition) here, but are afraid to say so."
Maybe this particular piece will allow her to "see" again, that the REAL and mostly demoralizing thing for the troops is the attitude by people like her. Seriously doubt it (she's another hard-headed Italian like me)said she's not really pro-Kerry, more anti-Bush and she'd vote for Mickey Mouse if he was running against him! Told her vote for anyone, just don't give the vote to Kerry!
Unfortunately the majority of the American people have become too lethargic over the years, a people of "Instant Gratification". They will readily agree as long as things go exactly like they want, as fast or easily as, with absolutely no problems. But should a shadow of a doubt or aspersions arise, they immediately feel we should change our objective, get out and leave it, never thinking about the particular and sometimes terrible consequenses involved by doing that. Even though they were told in the very beginning it was going to be a long row to how, told it would likely be years they went along with it but most of the younger generations (55 yrs. or less) do not have the stomach or staying power it takes for something like Iraq.
I am sometimes, like now, embarrassed by a number of my fellow Americans! What happened to the Anger? What happened to the Outrage? What happened to Caring about others? Have we become a country consisting of only self-servers, primarily Conscientious objectors/observers or have we just completely lost our conscience period?
Please do, and thanks!

Posted on 08/15/2013 8:26:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
100,000 people want to live in these space habitats on Mars for eternity.
Four months after the call for applicants went out, 100,000 people from around the world (including yours truly) have applied for a one-way trip to Mars.
The Mars One group wants to put four humans on the Red Planet by 2022. The first settlers would by followed more groups, arriving every two years.
The first round of a four-part selection process ends on August 31. By September, the selection committee will begin culling through hundreds of thousands of video entries and questionnaires to decide which space enthusiasts will move ahead to Round Two. Ultimately, candidates will be whittled down to a total of 24 to 40 applicants, divided into groups.
"We are selecting groups of four, and not individuals," says Norbert Kraft, the medical director for the Mars One project. "You can be the best, smartest individual, but if you cannot work within your group you are out," he said.
Each group will spend three months every year, for up to eight years, in an isolated habitat. During this time, the group will have to prove that they can work together.
On its press site, Mars One says its looking for applicants that display five specific psychological traits: resilience, adaptability, curiosity, the ability to trust others, and creativity/resourcefulness. They also want candidates who are mature, interesting, and have a sense of humor.
Most Mars applicants have a public profile and their application videos are available to watch online.

I like the idea of a nomination process.
I was tempted to signup...glad I didn't.
Bubble Brains on Mars.
How many of these people are originally from Venus???
That method could introduce SOME people to the concept of reality.
wheres the mall ???
Is Ponce de Leon on the list?
Honestly, I can't see this colony ending well.
I think that they need to do the following mental health test for applicants:
If you apply, you're disqualified on the grounds that you have a mental disorder.
Terraform the place first and I'll consider it.
""You can be the best, smartest individual, but if you cannot work within your group you are out," he said. "
I think we've all met this person in our lives, especially at work. Anyone read or skimmed a book from one of those person manning the science dome in Antartica (it was the lady who suffered a life-threatening condition and had to be evac'd by plane), it will give you a glimpse of what happens where you are isolated from a population for 6 months.
I probably should expand on my premise.
There should be a nomination process, and only I get to make the nominations. Then, I'll send those I nominate to Mars. For Life. hee hee hee.
I'll gladly take input from my fellow FReepers.
"If you apply, youre disqualified on the grounds that you have a mental disorder."
So Dems are disqualified then?
Probably a bunch of kinky chatroom types who want to experience sex on Mars...
Australia II.
Are they going to transport Lego blocks to Mars?
Derek Zoolander: What is this? [smashes model] A center for ants?
Mugatu: What?
Derek Zoolander: How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small...
Derek Zoolander: I don't wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least... three times bigger than this!
I don't think women can go to Mars. They wouldn't understand it.
Is there anyway we can sign Nancy Pelosi up?
Is there anyway we can sign Nancy Pelosi up?
I sure don't mean to quibble with you, GrandJediMasterYoda, but don't you think President You Didn't Build That ought to take precedence?
My husband would go in a heart beat just to be part of the scientific community.
He was very disappointed that he did not meet the age qualifiers for the trip but he did meet the scientific areas.
She'd likely be in my top 10.
Not necessarily, unless you consider scientist and explores mental.
My husband would go just to be part of the scientific discovery.
"Mars Needs Women!"
Send Khan?
There may be a LOT of people moving to mars eventually to escape the tyranny of earth....
And my wife is probably disappointed that I'm not going....
"I can't close the airlock, I'm busy doing my nails"
Khan, hell! Send Obama. He isn't as bright as Khan and lacks the interpersonal skills.
October in the Shenandoah...
Life on Mars....
Hmmmm? Such a tough call.
I can understand being willing to give your life for science. Really I can. But clearly, living one's entire life in the limited social and physical environment contemplated in the article would be a guarantee of some type of debilitating mental breakdown in the end.
Human nature can only be suppressed for so long, and there is nothing about this living environment that would be consistent with human nature over a lifetime.
And by the way, would you stay married to your husband if he were selected for this trip?
I nominate Sheila Jackson Lee.
Oh no. Not at all. In fact, I think we should send them all there to establish their perfect Utopian (i.e. totalitarian) society.
Legos are cool and all, but I'd probably build my colony out of something else.
A village of Legos! They should build it on the moon and bring back the cheese.
Good idea, especially if the transport is powered by "Stupidity".
I hope that these people read up on the Roanoke, Jamestown and Plymouth colonies before they go. There won't be any Indians, friendly or otherwise to help them out
I think I'll stay right here, and dig out my old copy of Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles" to re-read.
I would happily help any number of Rats sell their possessions and move to Mars.
Remember the lost colony in Jamestown.
Of course I would stay married to my husband.
My husband's career in the scientific field has been all these years quite isolated (well while at work anyway), scientists are a strange bunch.
However, I do get your point, a person can not work 24/7, we need a respite from the work.
""You can be the best, smartest individual, but if you cannot work within your group you are out," he said. "
I guess that Sheldon Cooper is out, then.
To Live And Die On the Red Planet
Fuggetaboddit. Dis place ain't got no atmosphere.
John Carter
*bzzzt* you're disqualified!
Can Obama and Holder go?
I wonder how long the trip would take one way?

Key Executives for ARM Limited
ARM Limited Key Developments
Mentor Graphics Corp. has signed a multi-year subscription agreement with ARM Ltd. to enable early access to a broad range of ARM intellectual property, or IP, and related technologies. This will enable Mentor to optimize its tools and methodologies for ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Mentor will have access to ARM Cortex processors for the ARMv8-A and ARMv7-An architectures, ARM Mali graphics processors, ARM CoreLink system IP, ARM Artisan physical IP and ARM POP IP for implementation acceleration. Through this agreement, Mentor can optimize its flows and tools for ARM IP before it is available on general release. This will enable Mentor's customers to add the new ARM IP to their designs and trust their verification, implementation and test environments are fully optimized. This will allow them to achieve the high level of performance and functionality in their newest ASIC and FPGA designs. ARM, in common with many companies in the ARM ecosystem, uses the Mentor Enterprise Verification Platform (EVP), including the Veloce and Questa platforms, to verify new processor IP and system IP designs. For digital design implementation, the agreement will help Mentor optimize RealTime Designer physical RTL synthesis and Olympus-SoC Place & Route solutions for ARM-based designs. For IC test generation, processor-specific optimizations to the Tessent MemoryBIST, LogicBIST and TestKompress flows will also be available and validated.
ARM Limited has announced the new ARM CoreLink system IP for next-generation mobile devices. The CoreLink CCI-550 interconnect enables ARM big.LITTLE processing and a fully coherent GPU while lowering latency and increasing peak throughput. The CoreLink DMC-500 memory controller provides higher bandwidth and latency response for processors and display. Both CoreLink products have been delivered to lead partners and are available for licensing with production silicon expected by late 2016. IP from ARM is designed in a system context for maximum performance and ease of integration, which is why more than 100 licensees have designed SoCs using trusted ARM system IP. The new CoreLink system IP has ARM and its partners well ahead on the next critical path to increase overall system efficiency and performance in mobile devices. The improved support for GPU coherency in CoreLink CCI-550 enhances power management and delivers system-wide advantages. Coherency reduces development costs and time for new applications accelerated by heterogeneous processing for more efficient utilization of compute engines. OpenCL 2.0 with shared virtual memory features and other newer programming models take full advantage of system coherency. All processors work on the same data without unnecessary cache maintenance or memory copying. This also enables a system architecture fully aligned with the HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) coherency standards. CoreLink CCI-550 includes improvements in the microarchitecture to deliver higher peak throughput for demanding use cases and quality of service (QoS) enhancements that reduce latency by 20 percent. SoC designers can configure the number of memory channels, tracker sizes, snoop filter capacity and scale up to 6 fully coherent processor clusters. The increased scalability addresses a wide range of applications beyond mobile including digital TV, automotive and cost-efficient networking applications. Time and energy-intensive memory transactions require a memory controller designed with a system approach to reduce bottlenecks. For ARM Cortex processors, CoreLink DMC-500 offers the lowest latency and power along with enhanced QoS for LPDDR4/3 memories operating up to LPDDR4-4267 transfer speeds. When integrated at the design level, CoreLink CCI-550 and CoreLink DMC-500 work together to deliver a peak system memory bandwidth beyond 50GB/s for access to richer content such as 4K video, with predictable performance, leading to the best user experience in premium smartphones and tablets.
ARM Ltd. has launched a new cloud-enabled education kit for universities, the ARM IoT Education Kit. The ARM IoT Education Kit will teach students how to use the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform, create smartphone apps and control connected devices such as a robot or a mini weather station to gather temperature, humidity and air pressure data. The Kit was unveiled at the opening of Peking University's new PKU-ARM-ST-Nordic Smart Device Innovation Lab. The IoT Education Kit and the new innovation lab facility are both supported by ARM and semiconductor partners STMicroelectronics and Nordic. The kit contains ARM mbed Enabled boards from STMicroelectronics and Nordic Semiconductor, ARM Keil MDK software licenses, and a complete set of teaching materials. It is designed to help lecturers deliver practical lessons around key IoT technologies. This includes teaching students how to work with ARM mbed, the most widely-used developer platform for ARM Cortex-M processor based IoT devices. The course also provides a deep dive on technologies such as Bluetooth Smart and an understanding of current industry standards.

HOUSTON, Texas - Rice University men's basketball enters the final week of the regular season with a pair of games in the Bayou City, beginning with Wednesday's rivalry matchup at Houston. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Hofheinz Pavilion.
The Owls (5-23, 1-13) rallied to top the Cougars in the season's first meeting behind 21 points from Max Guercy and 18 from Tamir Jackson.
Rice hosted UTEP on Saturday in a 67-56 setback. Jackson scored 20 points in the outing, which was his 125th game in the Blue and Gray. It moved him into sole possession of second place all-time in games played at Rice.
Wednesday is the team's final road game of the season before the Owls host Tulsa on Saturday in the regular season finale. Rice will honor Jackson prior to his final home game, which is set for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
Scouting the Cougars
Houston ran past Marshall, 103-76, on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak. Three players scored at least 20 points in the win, led by TaShawn Thomas' 25 points and 14 rebounds.
The Cougars shot nearly 60 percent in the game and made 8-of-15 three-pointers, with 23 points coming off of 15 Thundering Herd turnovers.
On the season, Joseph Young leads the team with 18.0 points per game and a 43.8 percent three-point mark.
Thomas and Danuel House also score in double figures for Houston, which boasts the highest-scoring offense in Conference USA at 77.8 points per game.
Houston's 38.7 rebounds per game are also the most in the league. The Cougars are 12-4 at home this season, including a 4-3 mark in C-USA action.
Series History
Houston holds a 58-18 advantage in the series, though Rice has won three of the last four meetings, including a sweep in 2010-11 and a road win last season.
Aside from a pair of recent Rice double-digit wins, four of the last six meetings have been decided by single digits.
Jackson averages 13.1 points and 4.4 assists in seven meetings with the Cougars.
Guercy chipped in 21 points in his first meeting with Houston, while Austin Ramljak, Keith Washington and Ross Wilson added eight points each in their initial game against the crosstown rival.
Five-Time Freshman of the Week
Guercy continued to add to his trophy case this week with his fifth Freshman of the Week award on Monday. He averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.0 steals in two games to earn the award for the fourth time in the last six weeks.
The guard notched 19 points, five steals and three rebounds against Tulane to earn the distinction for a fourth time in 16 weeks.
Guercy's first award came on Jan. 7 after he scored 19 points and dished out five assists at Harvard two days earlier. He won the honor three weeks later on Jan. 28 after averaging 6.0 assists on the week at UCF and Tulane. In those two road games, he averaged 10.5 points per game and dished out 6.0 assists with just two total turnovers for the Owls.
Guercy earned his third weekly award after scoring 21 points in Rice's win over Houston and then adding nine points and five assists against East Carolina.
Looking Ahead
Rice closes out the regular season at home on Saturday against Tulsa. The Owls will honor Jackson, the team's lone senior, in his final home game in the Blue and Gray prior to the 7 p.m. tipoff.
The Owls then turn their attention to next week's Conference USA Championship in Tulsa, beginning on Wednesday. The bracket and schedule will be released on Saturday evening.

The 5:2 Fast Diet Cookbook by Samantha Logan is just that, a cookbook. If you're not familiar with the popular 5:2 fasting diet craze, you won't find much supporting information in this book to guide you, but you will find 150 low-calorie healthy recipes to supplement the program. The author created the cookbook after she adopted an intermittent fasting lifestyle and lost 30 pounds.
The 5:2 fasting diet mentioned in this book and countless others on the market is based on the principle that intermittent fasting, "actually helps you reset your metabolism and rev up your body's fat-burning ability." On the diet, men and women are asked to restrict their calorie consumption on two nonconsecutive days per week and then eat as they normally would on the other five. On non-fasting days if the dieter wants to eat high calorie foods the author advises them to, "Go for it," but then later encourages people to, "Make smart food choices," so the takeaway is a bit vague.
While the author bears no credentials, it's disappointing that she didn't go the extra mile to describe the diet in more detail or provide statements from a doctor, nutritionist or registered dietitian regarding the efficacy of the program or the scientific data behind it.
For his Oscar-nominated role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, Aussie mega-star, Hugh Jackman, admitted to extreme fasting and even cutting his water intake to achieve the emaciated look needed for his physical deterioration during the movie. To prepare for his next role, the actor chose a different approach, a 5,000 calorie a day diet with intermittent fasting. On this diet he gets to eat chicken, lots of chicken.
To reprise his role as Wolverine in the X-Men, premiering July 26, Jackman knew he needed to bulk up. This is an actor who is well known for his commitment to a role, whether it's on screen or the Broadway stage. There will be no CGI muscles, bulky costumes or other Hollywood magic. Hugh wanted the real deal and he wasn't afraid to go to extremes to get it. In this case, "it" would be the ripped abs and biceps needed to play the superhero. In addition to spending more time in the gym than the Biggest Loser contestants, he's also using the 16-8 Diet to pack on lean muscle.
Jackman recently talked about his Wolverine routine. "What I do is I eat in an eight hour period, it's all the rage this diet now. It's called the 16-8 diet. For sixteen hours of the day, I fast, so I don't eat. So between 10 in the morning and six at night, I eat 5,000 calories and then I eat nothing." During the eight hours he's consuming all those calories, I'm betting there's not a donut, candy bar or soda in the bunch. In fact, according to the actor, "'I quite like everything I ate, but it's more bland. It's chicken breast, but steamed and no salt, and steamed spinach."
Some people might think that having an eight hour glutinous window to gorge up all those calories would be easy, but according to Jackman, there were days when he had to use mind over matter to get it down. "'This is a disgusting amount of food, I can't eat another bite," he would say to himself. "I literally talk to myself like I'm training – One more mouthful, c'mon man. You can do it. Just one more mouthful. Half a chicken breast to go and then you've got it. Just two meals left!'"
While the 16-8 diet may have been the way to go for Jackman who readily admits, "I'm quite a skinny person by nature so I'm eating ridiculous amounts of food," it's not for everyone. The eating routine, seen by many as a lifestyle, not a diet, does not dictate the daily calorie count a person must consume. Always check with your doctor before starting an extreme diet routine. The Wolverine may need 5,000 calories a day but mere mortals do not.

Detox diets can be great at cleansing your body of unwanted toxins and chemicals. However, there is a right and wrong way to detox. Starting an unnecessarily restrictive detox diet can leave you feeling fatigued, cramping, and moody while it provides only fleeting results. A healthy detox program, however, can lead to more energy, a sense of well-being, and a jump start for positive lifestyle changes.
Let's start with what doesn't work. Juice or liquid-only detoxes and fasts can be harmful in the long run because they rob your body of needed nutrients. "In a fast lasting longer than a day or two, the body starts to breakdown some of its muscles and organs to generate fuel for the central nervous system," said Mary Hartley, RD, our resident nutrition expert, in this article. That doesn't sound very healthy at all.
If you are detoxing to lose weight, choosing an extreme detox diet like the Maple Syrup/Master Cleanse Diet will provide fast results, but the chances of keeping the weight off are extremely slim. Most weight lost while doing a strict cleansing regimen is water weight, so when you go back to whole foods, the weight will be regained. Not only that, but you may gain more weight, as now your metabolism is slower as a result of the cleanse. (more…)
In the world of health, fitness and weight loss, there seem to be a large number of studies constantly conducted to help us figure out how to fight obesity and get healthy. Recently, another study with important outcomes has published with some drastic results.
Identified as a way to have your cake and eat it too, this study shows that eating your last meal of the day earlier, and then fasting for a 16 hour stretch before eating breakfast, can decrease the risk of weight gain and decrease the onset of weight related diseases. The study was headed by regulatory biologist Satchidananda Panda of the Salk Institute in California. and was done on mice. He made the statement, "We have to come up with something that is a simple alternative to calorie counting." The results of the study were published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Within the study, the participating mice were divided into groups and had a regulated diet for a total of 100 days. (more…)

2009 Honda Accord (Page 1 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Honda Accord has several serious defects: poor brakes, excessive oil consumption, & uncomfortable seats.
BRAKES: There was a class action lawsuit against Honda in 2010 for premature & excessive brake wear. See our page on Honda's brake problems for more info.
OIL CONSUMPTION: Honda issued a TSB about this in late 2011, claiming it could be fixed through a software update to the VCM (variable cylinder management). There are class action lawsuits pending. See our page about the Accord oil consumption.
UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS: Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight. The common theme we hear is "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

- Typical Repair Cost:
- $336.00

Last.fm also offers an Events tab through which the user can know the latest upcoming live shows and festivals.
- SoundCloud: Soundcloud unlike other music download sites allows a user to download both professional as well as independent musicians and also allows you to download streaming music. But the thing is every song can't be downloaded for free in Soundcloud as some songs will ask you to like it from facebook and then only you will be able to download that song. The songs that can be downloaded for free will have a download button by default below the song. The user need not sign in to listen the song as in case of Last.fm . Directly the user can search for a specific track and listen to it or can download it. But if the user is interested he can sign up through Google, Facebook and can enjoy some additional benefits .

Melendez likely to receive immediate title shot
"(Melendez will) probably come right in and get a title shot," White said. "Again, we'll see."
White expressed his disappointment for how many Strikeforce fighters' past year has been. The promotion had to cancel a pair of fall events, and if fighters on the roster aren't booked for the final show in January on Showtime, their fates may have been up in the air.
But along with the official news of Strikeforce's final show came several fight bookings for upcoming UFC shows with Strikeforce fighters crossing over, including Derek Brunson, who fights Saturday at UFC 155 to open the pay-per-view card against Chris Leben.
"What has happened to the fighters in Strikeforce is horrible," White said. "The way this thing went down is horrible, and they've been very patient. What's happened over there has been completely s—ty."

Sacramento – The holiday season festivities bring an increased excitement about adorning homes with traditional decorations, but as beautiful as they are, holiday decorations are an added home fire hazard. CAL FIRE and firefighters across California are asking the public to give their families and themselves the most important holiday gift: a fire safe holiday.
Holiday decoration fires are most likely to happen in the living room, family room or den. Almost half of all home decoration fires are started by candles, mostly because the decorations were placed too close to a heat source.
In 2011, nearly 300 Christmas tree and holiday decoration fires were reported to the CAL FIRE – Office of the State Fire Marshal. "In just seconds, a dry Christmas tree can become fully engulfed in flames," said State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover, CAL FIRE-Office of the State Fire Marshal. "By practicing a little extra fire safety this holiday season, you can help reduce the number of holiday decoration-related fire tragedies."
CAL FIRE offers these safety tips to ensure a safe and happy holiday season:
Christmas Trees
- When selecting your live Christmas tree, choose a fresh one with green needles.
- Before placing the tree in the stand, cut two inches from the base of the trunk for better water absorption.
- Check the water level in the tree stand every day.
- Keep both live and artificial trees at least 3 feet away from any heat source including fireplaces and heating vents.
- Decorate Christmas trees with lights that have been tested and labeled by a recognized testing lab.
- Never use lit candles to decorate any tree.
- Unplug Christmas tree lights when leaving home or going to bed.
Holiday Decorations
- Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant.
- Use indoor lights indoors and outdoor lights outdoors.
- Replace any light strings that are worn or have broken cords or have loose bulb connections.
- Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged.
- Keep your exits clear by keeping decorations away from windows and doors.
For more holiday safety tips, please visit the CAL FIRE website at www.fire.ca.gov.

Very run down no pool
Rough, scary, and bed not made well. Looked like someone had been in my bed.
This room was disgusting. bloody finger prints on a wall, stains on the bed, filthy bathroom and tub. We just needed a place to sleep for 4/5 hours so we could continue our drive, neither of us slept with the blankets, we used to wells we had packed from home as covers. Filthy.
just looking for a bed for a few nights
Convenient location, right at Interstate exit. "Breakfast" served within check-in area: coffee, juices, cereals, Danish. Could not access wi-fi. Holes in ceiling and walls -- overdue for update. Pet friendly. Budget friendly. Were the linens on the bed fresh?

Pierre de Manchicourt
~ Person
Pierre de Manchicourt (c. 1510 – October 5, 1564) was a Renaissance composer of the Franco-Flemish School.
De Manchicourt was born at Béthune. Little is known of his early life other than that he was a choirboy at Arras in 1525; later in life he had a succession of posts in Arras, Tours and Tournai, before going to Spain to be master of the Flemish chapel (capilla flamenca) at the court of Philip II, where he stayed for the remainder of his life.
Similar to many composers of the early to mid 16th century, he predominantly wrote masses, motets and chansons. His motets are particularly significant as they show the three separate stages of early sixteenth century motet development, highly unusual to find in the work of a single composer. In his earliest motets one can hear the influence of Ockeghem; in his middle period works, the paired imitation style of Josquin des Prez; and in his late works the stylistic refinement, well-crafted melodic lines and pervasive imitation recall Gombert.
Manchicourt is an excellent example of a Franco-Flemish composer who learned his craft and art in northern Europe, and then assisted in the diffusion of the style by traveling to another region and composing and performing there. The movement of these many skilled composers out of Flanders and northern France created what was one of the first truly international styles since the original diffusion of Gregorian chant during the reign of Charlemagne.
He died in Madrid and was succeeded as maestro de capilla by Jean de Bonmarché.
