The business card features a gold foil across a 540gsm Ebony Colourplan substrate with a Sandgrain emboss. The disk, while referencing the name, was inspired by garment pattens and fine stitching. Structured in a way that when the card is tilted the foil catches and reflects the light in different ways.

Leif MiltenbergerPosted in Branding → LogoHired Guns Creative was brought in to create a new brand and label design for Tugwell Creek Honey Farm & Meadery, the oldest honey farm and meadery on Vancouver Island. They were dissatisfied with their old labels - they wanted a design that more accurately reflected their operation, philosophy, and products. The end result is a clever, versatile identity that positions them very firmly as a wine competitor, yet distinctly apart from wineries, and a bright, vivid label that is sure to increase their shelf presence in wine shops.

From the days of the PS one, this downloadable game allows you to play the classic original on your PlayStation-certified device.
You are Sir Dan, a recently reincarnated knight who has lost all that unsightly flesh i.e., you're a skeleton and you must battle the evil sorcerer Zarok and his battalions of undead monsters. To combat these baddies, you have your trusty sword, an axe, and a bow that shoots flaming arrows at the ready. But this game is more than just hack-and-slash action; each level has unique puzzles that differ from stage to stage, giving a nice degree of variety to the title. Also, once a certain number of enemies are dispatched, you can gather up a chalice that gives you access to the Hall of Heroes, a place where heroic ghosts distribute special weapons or items with each visit. Of course, these visits are usually accompanied by a verbal chastising at your unworthy status as the champion of Gallowmere. And while this game has plenty of action, it is also filled with bright and colorful graphics, and has a light feel that will appeal to younger gamers.
Release Region: United States
Release Date: TBA

I like your list Jaimie; but what about the king of American cinema, who everybody has seemed to forget:
D.W. Griffiths !!!!
Plus, if we're going international:
Bergman!!! (chess anyone?)
Obviously, this web-site list under discussion is just ridiculous; the only one I follow is the every ten years one,Sights and Sounds, which has had Welles on top as director and Kane as film since 1962, and is voted on by industry people:)
PS: Jaimie: I think i'd like a theme park with rides based on Welles picures: these would be great rides: Shanghai (fun house), Arkadin (he keeps chasing you and telling you old european homilies) Touch of Evil ( battle it out with the Hankster) The Trial (you never know what's happening in this one) and TOSOTW (though this one would have to be rated adults only- I'm thinking of that car ride with Oja)

Former Sun Devil Elder honored to wear No. 42
Originally published: Jul 31, 2012 - 10:51 pm
However, he's the only one wearing No. 42.
Elder, of course, knows the history of the number, as ASU legend Pat Tillman donned that jersey while in college before switching to number 40 in the pros. So to have it as a Cardinal is, well, special.
"I didn't pick this number; it was a coincidence," Elder said. "But I'm honored to wear this number. Pat Tillman is a great person who did everything for Arizona State and the state, so it's an honor."
Elder said he was shocked when he got it, and given that he came from a college program where no one will ever wear that number again, that can be expected.
If Elder hopes to keep the number on a red and white uniform all throughout the preseason and into the regular season he'll have to pick things up rather quickly, as undrafted free agents tend to have less leeway when it comes to figuring the game out. That can be difficult for college players who, though coming off successful careers, find the NFL game to be quite a bit different.
For his part, Elder said the most difficult part of the transition from college to the pros has been learning the playbook, which has led to many late nights studying.
"There's a lot of plays that you have to learn, a lot of schemes," he said.
Though for Elder, 23, this camp is as much about learning the Cardinals' playbook as it is about simply how to play as a professional, which he said, means soaking in as much knowledge as possible from veterans like Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes.
And hopefully, if he can combine knowledge of the playbook with the wisdom imparted on him by the veterans, just maybe he'll find a way to stick with the Cardinals this season.

The marketer must be owned again because Oliviero still win Cannes awards with same concept. xD

Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere Lafayette: "He off his meds. Ciao, bitches." Lafayette agreed, but charged $300 this time. He did this all last for free! Funny Lafayette conducted a faux seance sans candles, but serious Lafayette had to handle the situation once the spirit of the woman Terry killed actually showed up to the party! The candles were unlit, then lit again, then really lit. The woman agreed to break the curse if Terry kills Patrick, or Patrick kills Terry. Prediction: Patrick goes off the deep end, and Terry kills him defending Arlene. Maybe the Ifrit is just like last 's poltergeist. Maybe he just needs a friend!
For the third week in a row, Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Pam (Kristen Bauer van Straten) made a little progress with very little screen time. Basically, a racist blonde from Tara's high school class showed up to Fangtasia because well, we honestly don't know why a racist would want to hang Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere out in a vampire bar. She dropped several racist comments, and Tara snapped. She happily admitted to sleeping with her boyfriend. At first, it seemed as though Pam was defending her patron, but in reality, she was ready to have her tied and gagged in the dungeon below. Her mad face and her happy face are the same. After glamouring her to worship Tara forever, it appears as though the two are officially on good terms.
Eric attempted to reason with his sister, Nora (Lucy Griffiths), by using Godric's plea and memory. Nora called Godric weak in his final days and blasphemous. Nora: "F*ck Godric." Not Godric! That got me angry, so imagine how Eric reacted. In the final scenes Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere regarding the Authority, they planned on annihilating the mainstreamers for good. Bill suggested bombing the factories, much to Eric's surprise. Bill claimed he was "evolving." Oh no, Eric! Text Sookie! The closed with Sookie having a vision of the vampire she inhabited. He's coming for her! Good!
What did you all think of the ? Who picked up Hoyt at the 's end? Are you Team Jessica or Team Hoyt? Are you afraid for Sookie or for the vampire killer? Isn't it a little quick for Alcide to have a new girlfriend after admitting Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere his feelings for Sookie? What would Buffy do? Somebody That I Used to Know" is the title of last nights . It got me thinking…is this show even based off the Sookie Stackhouse novels anymore or have they just taken the idea, names and some details of the world and run with them. The more and more I thought about it, the more my blood begins to boil. I hate it when writers do to a story I love what the writers of are doing to the tales of Sookie. There is this thing called taking creative license and then there is pillaging and destroying something that was good in its own right for the sake of it having its own identity. Why are the writers of so bent on leaving out all the good Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere things in the story and giving people something to relate or connect with if they were a fan. Do they not want fans of the books to enjoy the show? Are they trying to get a completely different audience all together? Can someone explain it to me because I really just don't get it.
"Dead as a Doornail" the Novel this should be based on shares only one thing in common with the show. Sam did get shot in book five. I could sit here all day and list things the show has done or changed from the books but I think I'll just focus on some of the most shocking and most disturbing ones. Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere In the books Tara got married and had twins. Jason does turn into a half-panther half-man and is quite pleased about it and there is no Ifrit. 1 was spot-on but now all stories have changed and diverged so much from their source content that it's really not even the same story. I can judge it on its own merits and it's a decent show but it's just not the same.
I wish the writers of would take notes from some of the awesome Marvel comic book movies that have come out as of late. Even recent novels that have been turned into movies like Hunger Games have done a great job staying as e to the source material as possible. Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere I don't know if the show can ever get back on track now. Bill's character is a prime example. I encourage people to read the source material for this show as it's really good and it's shocking to see how much they change. They have ruined Bill and Tara for me but at the same time at least Lafayette has been saved and carried over even though in the books he died. Guess you have to take the good with the bad. Pam is also pretty spot on.
The show overall is good. All the story arcs are progressing at a nice pace. Russell doesn't look interested in the new authorities agenda at all and I can totally sense him and Newlin skipping off to Japan before long. Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere After all his last boyfriend died. The dynamic between Pam and Tara is awesome. The sex scene between Rikki and Alcide was super hot and funny at the same time. I found myself thinking oh… so that's what that would look and sound like. The growling was a little over done but that may have been on purpose for comedic effect.
After the excitement of last week's Authority coup, Somebody That I Used to Know saw Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere the Sanguinistas start work in earnest, with a new convert, and one very cynical Swede – it comes to something when Eric Northman is the most level-headed and reasonable vamp in the room…
Yes, the vamps are well and lye in charge in 's latest . While the Authority storyline has been running since the start of the , now that the coup has taken place, the Sanguinistas are five's front and centre, leaving tangled offshoots all over the shop. Bill's alleged 'evolution' put a swift end to the burgeoning bromance with Eric, which is a damn shame – hopefully they'll be able to rekindle their 'ship post-finale. Downton Abbey Season 3 Episode 1 Premiere On the other hand, given that Eric is about as anti-religion as it's possible to get, it's altogether likely that regardless of who is on the winning side, neither will be particularly forgiving. It also raises the delicious possibility that Bill has reverted to his old ways – we all know that vamps are way more fun when they're bad; it's why Eric is so popular. At least, it was, pre-Diet Eric. And, let's face it, Bill could do with some fun.

The amount of the orange and lemon zest seems excessive, I cut back to 1 teaspoon of each, I added 1/2 teaspoon ground Cardamom, because I lov..." See moree how it accents blueberries. I baked in a 9 x 14 pan for 38 minutes. I'm not so big on sweet frosting, I glazed with simple glaze of 1 cup confectioners sugar with 1/4 cup lemon juice. It's a nice change of pace. I will make this again !"
"Thanks for sharing your yummy recipe. The lemon and blueberry flavors mix nicely. I made the recipe exactly as stated, except I made cupcakes. The cupcakes baked beautifully and were done in 18 mins. ..." See moreI made a thin icing using 3 tablespoons butter creamed with 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Then I added about 2 cups confectioners sugar (add more if you want more sweetness or until desired consistency), 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste), 1/2 tablespoon water, and a dash of salt. Mixed it all together and dipped the cupcakes in to frost."

The Law Office Of Joseph Klein Investigates Possible Breach Of Fiduciary Duty By The Board Of Abraxis BioSciences Inc. - ABII
The Law Office of Joseph Klein, Esq. is investigating the Board of Directors of Abraxis BioSciences Inc. ("Abraxis" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: ABII) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the Board's attempt to sell the Company to Celgene Corporation ("Celgene") (NasdaqGS: CELG) for $58 in cash and 0.2617 shares of Celgene stock for each Abraxis share owned by shareholders. The proposed transaction values Abraxis stock at approximately $71.93 per share for a total transaction value of approximately $2.9 billion, net of cash. Each Abraxis shareholder will also receive one tradable contingent value right for each share that entitles its holder to receive payments for future regulatory milestones and commercial royalties.
The investigation focuses on whether Abraxis' Board breached its fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Celgene is underpaying for Abraxis shares, thus unlawfully harming Abraxis' stockholders.

Morgan Stanley's Joseph Moore today reiterated an Underweight rating on shares of Intel (INTC), and a $20 price target, writing that he believes the company can hold its own against competitors in the battle for tablets based on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8, but that it won't mean much for the company financially.
Moore takes as his cue the presentation last week by Intel of its new "Silvermont" CPU core for mobile devices, an announcement that prompted several analysts to take a brighter outlook on Intel. Intel is now more competitive with licensees of ARM Holdings's (ARMH) microprocessor architecture, such as Qualcomm (QCOM), Broadcom (BRCM), and Nvidia (NVDA):
Intel has made great strides optimizing its Atom architecture for the performance per watt needed for ultra mobile devices. While it is hard to say for sure until we see product benchmarks in customer devices, it certainly appears that the Silvermont architecture announced this week puts the company in position to compete aggressively on specifications.
Moore models Intel selling 50 million of its "Atom" line of processors for tablets through 2015, with the net impact being just an additional 6 cents per share in profit, or 4% above current expectations.
Moore models total tablets next year and in 2015 of 282.8 million and 327.5 million, respectively. Of that, perhaps 13% in 2014 will be based on Microsoft's Win 8, and 16% in 2015, the rest being Apple's (AAPL) iPad, and devices based on Google's (GOOG) Android. Atom might take almost 8% of Android shipments, and 75% of Win 8 tablets, and the combination, 36 million shipments in 2014 and 50.2 million in 2015, would produce $722 million and $1 billion, respectively, in revenue, at an average price of $20 per chip, and 5 cents and 6 cents per annum at a gross profit of 50%.
Here's Moore's table of that back-of-the-envelope calculation (click for larger image):
Moore opines that for Intel to get any real meaningful financial uplift from mobile devices, the company must see success with its higher priced "Haswell" based chips in "ultrabook" laptops and hybrid computers:
While we are encouraged by Intel's progress in ultra mobile, the key debate for the stock remains higher end Haswell architectures, and the next generation Ultrabooks that they will enable. If Intel is able to use very innovative form factors to mitigate tablet cannibalization altogether, without sacrificing its own ASP, it will allow them to maintain traditional profits, which are unmatched by any other semiconductor end market. We continue to view higher end Ultrabooks as somewhat challenging; by adding touch panels, SSDs, and thin form factors, providing high end detachable and convertible form factors, Intel is adding $200+ to the bill of materials. So, if Ultrabooks are going to return the industry to growth, there is implicitly the assumption that PC ASPs will rise, which historically speaking has been a difficult proposition.
Moore thinks "penetration of the Android tablet market will likely prove much more difficult for Intel" than the Win 8 market:
At the same time, a higher performance x86 CPU on an Android tablet may not be an immediate selling point with Android tablet vendors we talk to, at least until Intel achieves critical mass. Apps developers indicate that most apps are written to run on mainstream apps processors. Many Android apps have been developed on iOS, the most unified development environment, and ported over, and others are written directly for ARM based Android CPUs. There are very few tablet apps that won't run effectively on a dual core A15, since those apps would not sell on any commercial platforms. This creates a bit of a chicken and egg problem for Intel. The CPU is not currently a binding constraint for many users, and the applications that drive up CPU requirements will not be written until higher performance CPUs have higher share.
Intel shares today closed up 36 cents, or 1.5%, at $24.20.
CNBC this morning hosted Appaloosa Management's David Tepper, who said Apple (AAPL) is still a good investment, but he's waiting to find out if the company is going to introduce something "revolutionary" or merely "evolutionary."
The channel's Carl Quintanilla later hosted a discussion with Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi, who said that the biggest opportunities include the 400-million mid-tier of the smartphone market, and creating something that would be a combined laptop and tablet computer. He mentioned in passing "something for the living room," such as, perhaps, and Apple television set, as a more "strategic" sort of potential product.
When Quintanilla asked Sacconaghi if the forthcoming products will be revolutionary or evolutionary, he replied,
That's the key question. Apple probably is a pretty good investment, can get to $520 or $550. If they don't create new markets. If they do, or move into adjacent markets, you could really see material upside from there. See real growth next two to three years. Company that grows low single digits and sees modest upside from here.
Apple shares this morning are down $2.27, or half a percent, at $452.47.
Shares of Corning (GLW) are up 11 cents, or 0.8%, at $15.21, after Morgan Stanley's Ehud Gelbum this morning raised his rating on the shares to Equal Weight from Underweight, and raised his price target to $16 from $13, writing that the arrival of touch-based screens for mainstream laptop computing could lift sales of its "Gorilla Glass" business, while several factors, including more stable prices for liquid-crystal displays and a bottoming of the Japanese Yen will provide some support to the stock.
Gelblum raised his estimate for Corning's Gorilla Glass business for this year to $1.37 billion in revenue from a prior $1.16 billion estimate, which he points out is 31% growth, versus his prior 10% estimate. He notes the company said at its analyst day in February that Gorilla can be a $2 billion to $3 billion business by 2016.
Driving his estimate for this year higher is the advent of so-called cover glass for notebook computers:
We estimate that cover glass shipments nearly triple over the next three years, from ~7M square meters in 2012 to ~20M in 2015, assuming 60% of consumer notebooks go touch and rely on a cover glass (we are assuming no corporate notebooks go touch). Even if adoption of touch on NBs remains de minimis, at ~20% in 2015 from ~3% in 2012, the cover glass market would still increase ~130% in size to ~16M square meters by 2015, implying that the growth of smartphones and tablets, along with screen size expansion for smartphones, dwarf the impact of touch adoption in notebooks. However, 2013 is a pivotal year for the cover glass market, as touch notebooks take-off on the back of the [Microsoft (MSFT)]
Windows 8 ramp, sustaining the strong growth Gorilla enjoyed in 2012, and much higher than the 10% y/y revenue growth we have been modeling for this year until now. Indeed, we model touch notebooks driving 45% of the incremental demand for cover glass in 2013 vs. 28% for smartphones and 27% for tablets. There is a secondary benefit to Corning's success with Gorilla. Since Gorilla and LCD glass share the same production sites, a rapid increase in Gorilla production has had the net effect of removing capacity from the LCD system, and can therefore potentially lead to stronger LCD glass pricing. We anticipate the 2H'13 surge in Gorilla (>100% increase in H2 vs. H1'13) to help sustain the currently favorable LCD pricing environment by constraining LCD supply.
That helps place his full year estimate for Corning at $8.2 billion and $1.32 per share, versus his prior estimate for $7.985 billion and $1.26 per share.
LCD glass prices seem to have some support against further declines given contracts put in place, writes Gelblum:
The risk of another LCD glass price shock is limited in the short term, as Corning's new contracts put in place last Fall and valid until the end of Q4'13 appear to be working, with both Corning and NEG expecting further improvements in the glass pricing environment next quarter, while stable TV demand and screen size expansion combined with the lack of new capacity are leading to an improving supply/ demand balance.
Despite all that, Gelblum still thinks it's difficult to make an investment case for the stock:
We continue to believe that the secularly challenged Display business makes the stock difficult to invest in for the long term. We believe the stock could be pressured again as Corning needs to renegotiate its contracts with panel makers at the end of this year, while the Yen hedge rolls off at the end of 2014 forces numbers lower in 2015 and beyond. Our 2015 EPS estimate (based on Corning rehedging the Yen at 100) is $1.18, down $0.20 from $1.38 in 2014, but clearly could be lower if the Yen continues to depreciate.
Shares of Intel (INTC) today are down 6 cents at $23.90 despite a couple of positive notes from the Street.
RBC Capital's Doug Freedman raised his rating on the shares to Outperform from Sector Perform, and raised his price target to $29 from $24, writing that the company's gross margin is likely to improve from here, and given the lousy sentiment about PCs may have simply grown to negative to sustain itself at this point.
Freedman sees Intel's gross margin coming in ahead of expectations later this year, as start-up costs for its "Haswell" chip architecture become less onerous:
We do believe that due to the roll-off of start-up costs and bonus back of inventories, gross margins can move higher with limited revenue growth in 2HCY13. As a result, our gross margin assumption for 2013 of 60.7% is higher vs. Street at 59.2% (despite our revenues estimate of $53.49bil being lower than Street's $55.55bil).
Freedman also thinks that a wave of product designs may finally grant the company a better position in smartphones and tablets versus chips from licensees of ARM Holdings (ARMH) such as Qualcomm (QCOM), Nvidia (NVDA), and Broadcom (BRCM):
Our checks suggest that traction in mobile is upcoming, as we believe the magnitude of design wins are expected to be surprising to investors. We feel that even ahead of a more compelling leading-edge 14nm line-up in 2014, Intel is today receiving a lot of interest from OEMs. There has been chatter from the handset ecosystem suggesting that the 2014 Intel platform may be their best yet. We find this is especially encouraging given that the expectation on Intel's success in Ultramobile is very low. Even marginal upside from handset revenues would push the applied multiple higher, as it shows that Intel's bet on x86 against ARM finally would make in-roads (albeit small initially with accelerated 2014 ramp). Recall that today Intel is shipping LTE basebands and is expected to ship LTE multi-mode voice and data baseband solutions by year-end. On the CPU-side, its 32nm dual-core Clover Trail+ is gaining increasing momentum on improving GPU performance. Its newer HSPA+ platform reference design around Clover Trail+ is a positive step forward for the company as the nextleg up will be LTE.
Also, Freedman thinks the appointment last Thursday of 31-year veteran Brian Krzanich, currently COO, to replace Paul Otellini as CEO on May 16th, may produce more change than people think, despite his being a long-time insider:
We believe the selection of an insider should NOT be misconstrued with the thought that Intel does not intend to deviate from its current vision. Our view is Krzanich's appointment was awarded as a result of changes in the future direction of the company, with these changes expected to become visible over the next few quarters. We suspect part of this vision could be a shift away from being the sole source of innovation toward assisting their customers with innovation efforts. And this ambition would be likely supported by using software as an enabler for not only driving adoption, but also profitability.
The stock also got an initiation of coverage today from Suji De Silva of Topeka Capital Markets, with a Buy rating and a $28 price target, writing that the PC market may "normalize" as new products with touch capabilities come to market.
In a brief phone conversation this afternoon, De Silva tells me, "Haswell is a very real effort for them, and a part of the story that is being under-appreciated." Haswell is intended to dramatically improve the power efficiency of Intel's X86 processors compared to ARM-based chips, especially for mobile devices.
De Silva thinks that at this point, the sluggishness of Windows-based PCs is a matter of consumers waiting for better product.
"People are just getting used to Windows 8, you have to get used to the new feel" of the software, he tells me. "I think that Haswell will mandate touch capabilities for ultrabooks, and other devices, and Windows is clearly designed for touch," says De Silva, referring to the ultrabook specification Intel assigns laptop makers and developers of hybrids that incorporate notebook and tablet capabilities.
"The tablet phenomenon has been in the marketplace for quite a while now," observes De Silva. "At this point, it's not the marginal buyer who's opting for a tablet, rather, people are stalling until the notebook gets to the form factor it should be."
In related Intel news, the company today hosted a webcast to discuss "Silvermont," the new CPU "core" for its "Atom" line of low-power mobile processors. Patrick Wang of Evercore Partners, who has an Equal Weight rating on the shares, reflecting on that announcement, writes that Silvermount is important for Intel to be more competitive with ARM's technology:
Silvermont (22nm) will launch in 2013 and Airmont (14nm) in 2014. We're constructive on Silvermont as it finally adopts Out of Order (OoO) execution, a key weakness of current Atom cores (Saltwell). Silvermont will be found in SOCs for tablet (Bay Trail), handset (Merrifield), comms (Rangeley), and server (Avoton) … helping close the gap with ARM: It's unclear at this point how Silvermont will perform against ARM's Cortex-A15. That said, it's more important to see how it stacks up against Apple's new SOC (A7) and Qualcomm's Krait CPU. We think Silvermont gets closer, but our focus remains on Airmont.
Update: Freedman issued a second note to clients this evening in which he reviewed the Silvermont presentation:
The new multi-core and system fabric architecture (up to eight cores)
augments performance for higher bandwidth while reducing latency.
Intel highlighted a more efficient out-of-order execution pipeline that
drives a more balanced and responsive system. Silvermont's new
instructions and technologies drive improved performance, virtualization and security management capabilities. Intel's architecture allows for fast switching between high and low power states [...] Net/Net We believe there is still a lot of skepticism in the marketplace despite the company's ability to illustrate favorable benchmarks as the company attempts to change its perception vs. ARM. The vast end-markets that Silvermont services, suggests that Intel is giving customers increased flexibility of where to deploy Atom-cores. While we are encouraged by the Atom roadmap, we believe the market will take a 'wait and see' approach as Intel attempts to establish more serious in-roads in ARM-dominated markets.
UBS semiconductor analysts Stephen Chin and Steven Eliscu today offer their thoughts on what the next CEO of Intel (INTC) needs to do as Paul Otellini steps down next month.
Intel has not yet decided on a successor to Otellini, though a number of candidates have been speculated about, and there have even been reports that headhunters were approaching major tech CEOs such as Nvidia's (NVDA) Jen-Hsun Huang.
Chin and Eliscu, who have a Neutral rating on Intel shares, and a $22.50 price target, write that too much attention has focused on Intel's need to come from behind in chips for smartphones and tablets, while the true focus should be on how to repair lack of growth in desktops and notebook computers.
Much of the discussion about Intel's next CEO has centered on its need to "fix" its mobile strategy. However, for what Intel is lacking to date in its mobile market penetration, we believe it could make up going forward with its next generation productsTo rejuvenate PCs, we believe its next CEO needs to refocus on cost reduction of ultrabook-(like) form-factors that can bring the 4 key iPad features – high-res touch display, light-weight, instant-on, long battery life into the $600-900 range. Longerterm, we believe he/she must look beyond PCs and even smartphones, which will be maturing by the time Intel ramps its 14nm products, and generate a further-reaching vision for the direction of client computing as Google is doing with Glass.
The authors also think Intel needs to press its advantages in server processors to lock out competing chips based on ARM Holdings (ARMH) technology:
The challenge for its next CEO will be to vigorously defend vs competitive
products (mainly ARM-based) that could gain acceptance for large enough slices in the data center market that in turn could noticeably slow Intel's server processor growth. Server processor users such as Facebook and Baidu build their own servers and are looking to lower costs through the use of very lowpower/low-cost processors, while semiconductor makers such as Cavium aim to deliver 5-10x performance/watt/dollar advantage vs Intel for a select group of data center workloads. As a result, we believe it is possible that given the breadth of customers seeking an alternative to Intel, with the breadth of vendors claiming performance/watt breakthroughs, at least a few may "break down the gates" and take some share from Intel.
Chin and Eliscu think Intel needs to expand its budding business as a contract chip foundry for other companies, which has started with small efforts for Altera (ALTR) and a handful of others:
In addition to Paul Otellini, we believe two key Intel executives have
championed its foundry strategy – Chairman (and former CFO) Andy Bryant as well as COO (and leading CEO candidate), Brian Krzanich. Thus, even if the next CEO is not Brian Krzanich, we do not expect Intel's foundry strategy to change much near-term. However, over time, as Intel's foundry capabilities mature, we would look to Intel's next CEO to utilize foundry not only as a profit center but also to potentially realize additional strategic goals. These could include: 1) gaining early access to complementary technologies that could enhance its own offerings (e.g. Xeon processors + FPGAs), 2) developing new types of intellectual property for foundry customers that could also be used for its own silicon (e.g. high-speed I/O interfaces), 3) capturing leading-edge silicon bill-of-materials share by fabbing for captive OEMs that would otherwise not buy Intel products for those functions, 4) disrupting foundry competitors (and their fabless customers) by taking away leading-edge foundry market share, whose profits would have been used to fund the development of future generation process technologies.
Intel shares today are up 20 cents, or 0.9%, at $23.96.

INTC: Street Underestimates x86, PC Prospects, Says Wells, April 29th, 2013.
Wells Fargo's David Wong today offers up a long (80 pages) quarterly report on microprocessors, writing that recent negative estimates for the PC market may be a bit overdone, and that in his view there's "plenty of life still in computing."
Wong, who has a Buy rating on shares of Intel (INTC), and doesn't formally rate shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), notes that estimates offered by IDC and Gartner back on April 10th showed the worst year-over-year drop in PC unit sales in years.
And yet, both Intel and AMD reported "March quarter sales that were close to original guidance," he writes, and "both guided to sequential sales growth in the June quarter," with 2.5% growth projected by Intel, and 2% projected by AMD.
Wong thinks some of the drop in PC market estimates can be explained by the demise of the Netbook computers of yore, a view that has been offered by IDC and Gartner themselves, at times. He points to a 7% decline in Intel's client computing segment last quarter, but a 5% rise in average selling prices, given the lower prices on Netbooks.
Wong thinks investors hold too dim a view of traditional personal computing, and of Intel's chips:
In our view, the investment community is appropriately excited about the tremendous explosion computing that is sweeping the globe. However, we think that many investors incorrectly conclude that the growth potential associated with this is limited to smartphones and tablets, driven by ARM-based processors. Consumers and businesses are increasingly connected electronically, and this is facilitated by a broad range of computing devices, including smartphones, tablets, notebooks, desktops, and servers. Hardware and software improvements are enabling fully fledged notebooks to approach tablets in turn-on time, battery life, and weight, while offering substantially more capability. We think that the growth potential and value of Intel's
very broad range of x86 processors has been significantly underestimated by the financial community.
Among things to look forward to, Wong points to forthcoming ultrabook laptops running Intel's "Haswell" microprocessor, coming in September; tablets running Intel's "Clover Trail" and Atom processors, using Google's (GOOG) Android software, which will show up this quarter; Ivy Bridge-based server chips, also coming in September; and, by the end of this year, Atom chips developed on a 22-nanometer semiconductor process, for tablet computers, smartphones, and "microservers."
Intel shares today are up 36 cents, or 1.5%, at $23.76.

April 29th, 2013.
Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 7 cents at $21.84, after the company last night beat Q1 expectations, and put up a better-than-expected Q2 revenue view, while reiterating its intention to grow revenue this year.
During a conference call following the report, outgoing CEO Paul Otellini remarked that he has done 80 calls with the Street since 1993, and offered his perspective on the company with a month left in his tenure.
Said Otellini, he was honored to work for nearly 40 years with "some of the greatest minds in technology," and noted Intel had revenue of just $134 million back in 1974 — it was a startup company, at the time. Otellini said Intel has "put more distance between us and the rest of the industry than ever before," noting that "In the first quarter we shipped our 100 millionth 22-nanometer processor, using our revolutionary 3D transistor technology, while the rest of the industry works to ship its first unit."
Otellini extolled the capabilities of Intel and its position at the cutting edge of semiconductor design:
The Company has a historically broad portfolio of products, spanning the spectrum of computing and price points. And as we begin to transition to 14-nanometer technology later this year, our architectural and process technology investments and innovation will become increasingly apparent and valuable for our customers and to the market. Over the past few months, I've been traveling to our sites here in the US and around the world. That creativity and drive that first attracted me to Intel almost four decades ago has never been higher. The Company's core architectural and manufacturing strengths have never been more valuable, and the opportunity presented by the evolution and expansion of the computing industry has never been greater. It's for those reasons that I'm confident that Intel will continue to invent, grow, thrive, and deliver the best technology to a world increasingly hungry for the products of the microprocessor revolution.
There are no ratings changes, that I can see, but analysts are impressed with Intel turning in better results despite a sharp PC sales decline last quarter.
There's a rather sharp difference of opinion, as you'd imagine, between bulls who believe that the company's Haswell processor will improve sales of ultrabook computers, and bears who think nothing much can change in a weak PC market:
Vivek Arya, Merrill Lynch: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $28 price target. "Street continues to under-appreciate the structural value in Intel's two to three year manufacturing lead vs. foundries, its most power efficient (vs. ARM) and highest performance 2H portfolio refresh in all-touch ultrabooks, cloud servers, tablets/smartphones, and its ~$1bn inventory depletion in the past
two quarters. Q1 results/Q2 guide were better than gloomy PC market trends,
showing yet again Intel's multiple levers of outperformance [...] At 10.6x 2014E PE and with 4% dividend yield, expectations remain low and stock is well setup to outperform based on major 2H product refresh, in our view. New CEO announcement (expected by mid-May) could be next catalyst [...] Most power efficient 2H portfolio refresh 1) Haswell processor for $499-$599+ touch-enabled all-day battery life capable laptops and convertibles; 2) Bay Trail quad-core processor for Windows and Android tablets, sub $299 laptops/desktops; 3) Ivy-Bridge and Avoton server processors to drive double digit sales growth in enterprise, cloud servers, storage and high performance computing. Towards year-end/early 2014 we expect Merrifield, the world's first 22nm tri-gate based smartphone processor chip." Arya cut his estimate for this year to $53.74 billion in revenue and $1.91 per share in profit from a prior $54.65 billion and $2.01.
Ross Seymore, Deutsche Bank: Reiterates a Buy rating, and a $26 price target. "Intel's quarterly results proved resilient in the face of lower PC demand as the company continued to benefit from product mix and an improving cost
structure. ASPs were up modestly in the quarter and the company made initial
gains in tablets (unit doubled) across both Windows & Android. Intel lowered
full-year capex by $1b but spending will remain a headwind to FCF through
2013. Demand trends should improve modestly in 2H13 and we expect Intel is
to take share across the broader computing market over the next 18 months." Seymore cut his estimate for 2013 to $54.5 billion and $2.03 per share in net profit from a prior $55 billion and $2.13 per share.
Daniel Berenbaum, MKM Partners: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $24 price target. "[Q1 results] while admittedly uninspirational on an
absolute basis, were better than very low expectations. A gross margin trough should offset lackluster PC client (better than feared but we still model PC client down 9% y/y 1H13), and the Haswell launch and more attractive PC form factors (sub-$600 touchscreen ultrabooks with all-day battery life) against easy comps should lead to reasonable 2H numbers. Tablet unit shipments are now outstripping mobile PCs, but many of these are low-end devices (e.g., 7-inch e-readers), not PC replacements – it strikes us that there will always be a demand for computing power and "traditional" functionality – even if monopoly-type profits are clearly a thing of the past, the bear case that in five years INTC will only be selling $20 chips seems overblown." Berenbaum cut his 2013 estimate to $54.2 billion and $2.02 per share in net profit from a prior $54.4 billion and $2.03 per share.
Alex Gauna, JMP Securities: Reiterates a Market Perform rating on Intel shares. "We continue to believe the stock will move predominantly sideways as it is caught between the headwind of eroding PC fundamentals and profitability and the downside support from its >4% dividend yield. In our view, the downward reductions in planned 2013 Cap Ex spending and inventory speak to the underlying weakness of the market and outlook and we note with caution that the Haswell transition is proving more punishing to gross margins than those of the prior two years [...] We do not anticipate Haswell will emerge in meaningful mass market mobile SKUs (Ultrabook, tablet, convertible) until C4Q13." Gauna leaves unchanged his estimate for $52.5 billion in revenue this year and $1.85 per share in profit.
Blayne Curtis, Barclays Capital: Reiterates an Equal Weight rating on the shares and a $20 price target. "Revenue of $12.6B was in line with consensus and ahead of expectations for a miss. PCCG revenue ($7.99B) was slightly ahead of expectations, while DCG ($2.59B) and Other Intel Architecture ($0.98B) were slightly below despite solid growth in Cloud and HPC as Enterprise remains slow. GM (56.2%) was below guidance for 58% on higher factory startup costs (-2.5%) and lower unit volumes (-1%) partially offset by reduced excess capacity charges (+1%) and lower inventory write-offs (+0.5%). Capex at ~$2.2B was well below the quarterly run rate of previous guidance for $13B in CY13 and full year guidance is reduced to $12B. Lower Opex ($4.47B) (shifting marketing expenses later in the year) and taxes (16% on resumption of R&D tax credit) resulted in EPS in line with consensus of $0.40." Curtis raised his estimate for this year to $53.28 billion in revenue and $1.89 per share in profit from a prior $53.09 billion and $1.86 per share based on an expectation sales into enterprise products will improve with overall improving economic activity.
Doug Freedman, RBC Capital: Reiterates a Sector Perform rating on the shares and a $24 price target. "While guidance was better-than-expected, we continue to suspect that part of this is related to Haswell filling a lean PC supplychain. The ability to prematurely shutdown older fabs suggests that products in the marketplace today are not doing well. Consequently, while we acknowledge power/performance benefits on Haswell, we remain skeptical that the architecture will drive a revival of newer initiatives including touch and ultrabook in the PC marketplace. We believe two things can be concluded by Intel's ability to cut CapEx by $1bil without impacting its sales forecast: 1) its original FY13 revenue expectation were more aggressive than guidance; or 2) the company is becoming more efficient, realizing higher prices for smaller die. However, the continued reuse of capital (this time from 22nm to 14nm) could prove to be a lever to gross margin in the near-future. We do believe that due to the roll-off of start-up costs and bonus back of inventories, gross margins can move higher with limited revenue growth in 2HCY13." Freedman raised his 2013 outlook from $51.5 billion and $1.93 per share to to $53.5 billion and $2 per share.
Intel's quarterly results proved resilient in the face of lower PC demand as the
company continued to benefit from product mix and an improving cost

Research firm IDC this afternoon reports that worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3 million in Q1, according to its preliminary estimate, down 13.9% from the prior-year period, and well below the firm's own forecast for a 7.7% drop. "The extent of the year-on-year contraction marked the worst quarter since IDC began tracking the PC market quarterly in 1994," says IDC.
According to IDC, shipments declined "significantly" in all regions. Some of the decline was "fading mini notebook shipments," also known as the "Netbook." But "tablets and smartphones continue to divert consumer spending" as well, the firm said. Said IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell,
At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market. While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market.
Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 operating system went on sale last October 26th. Analysts have generally reported sales to be below their original expectations. PC-related names are under pressure in late trading, with Microsoft shares off 19 cents, or 0.6%, at $30.09, Intel (INTC) stock down 11 cents, or half a percent, at $22.15, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) down 32 cents, or 1.4%, at $22, and Apple (AAPL) stock off 40 cents at $435.29. Dell
(DELL) shares are unchanged at $14.21.
According to IDC's data, HP's shipments fell 24%, year over year, worldwide, to 11.98 million units, a 15.7% share, down from 17.7% a year earlier. The company still held the top spot. Shipments by Lenovo (0992HK) were flat with the prior-year Q1, at 11.7 million units, while the company's share rose from 13.2% to 15.3%. Dell saw an 11% decline, to 9 million units.
In the U.S. market, Apple came in at third place, with 10% share, up slightly from its 9.4% share a year earlier, though shipments of 1.42 million estimated by IDC were 7.5% less than the year-earlier tally. Apple, Lenovo and Toshiba were only share gainers in the U.S. market in the quarter in contrast to HP and Dell's share declines, according to IDC.
Update: Gartner has now weighed in with its shipment tally, a slightly less terrible 79.2 million units, a decline of 11.2%, the first time totals have fallen below 80 million since Q2 of 2009, the firm observes.
Said Gartner PC analyst Mikako Kitagawa, "It was the fourth consecutive quarter that showed a drop in worldwide PC shipments," said Mikako Kitagawa, "Consumers are migrating content consumption from PCs to other connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones."
"Even emerging markets, where PC penetration is low, are not expected to be a strong growth area for PC vendors."
Similar to IDC, Gartner reported HP and Lenovo shipments quite close to one another, with 11.69 million units for HP and 11.67 million for Lenovo. Gartner data show Apple having a net shipment increase in the quarter, to 1.65 million units from 1.54 million a year earlier, a 7.4% shipment increase for the firm. Gartner has Apple with 9% share in the U.S. market, up from 8.6% a year earlier.
Maxim Group's Ashok Kumar today reiterates a Buy rating on shares of chip maker LSI (LSI), and an $8.50 price target, while warning the company is losing share in controller chips for hard disk drives to Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) at Seagate Technology (STX).
Kumar thinks LSI may report Q1 revenue of $555 million and EPS of 11 cents, below the $556 million and 12 cents the Street is modeling, versus the company's forecast of $535 million to $575 million. "Any downside expectations likely to come from the HDD [hard disk drive] segment."
He notes Marvell is taking share in both enterprise and notebook drive controllers, without explicitly stating what data he's drawing upon:
We estimate that Seagate represents about three-quarters of LSI's HDD sales. A partial offset is new design win ramps at Western Digital (WDC). While the company has stated that notebooks comprise less than 10% of HDD revenues, overall segment performance will likely be impacted by very weak notebook supply chain build data for the March quarter.
Kumar thinks a bright spot later this year will be LSI's involvement in controllers for flash-based solid-state drives:
Flash memory is expected to be a key engine of growth. LSI reported consolidated flash sales of $237 million in C12. This included $160 million contribution from the SandForce acquisition. Legacy controller business, primarily enterprise oriented PCIe flash, contributed about $77 million. Intel (INTC) has recently deployed its SSD controller in entry-level enterprise segment [...] We see improved revenue performance later on in the year with growth in flash memory and networking offsetting the headwinds from the PC segment.
LSI shares today fell 30 cents, or almost 5%, to close at $6.17.
Piper Jaffray chip analyst Gus Richard today reiterates a Neutral rating on shares of Intel (INTC) and a $21 price target, while trimming his estimates for the company's Q1 revenue and profit to reflect weaker-than-expected personal computer demand but a slightly better outlook for theserver business.
Richard's Q1 revenue estimate goes to $12.4 billion from $12.8 billion, while his EPS estimate goes to 40 cents from 44 cents. That is below the midpoint of Intel's own forecast of $12.2 billion to $13.2 billion for the quarter, and below Street consensus of $12.7 billion and 41 cents.
Richard's 2013 esitmate goes to $52.1 billion from $52.5 billion, while his EPS estimate goes to $1.64 from $1.70. The Street has been modeling $53.86 billion and $1.93 per share.
The quarter's trends for PCs are not shaping up well, he writes:
We are trimming estimates for Intel based on our belief that PCs have been weaker that expected in Q1. While servers are having a seasonally strong quarter, it is not likely to offset the weakness in PCs. We think an improving mix of server business, along with weaker PCs and mobile, will offset lower factory utilization, helping gross margins meet the midpoint of guidance at 58%.
Richard's assessment comes after a report yesterday by research firm IDC that PC units may see a double-digit percentage decline this quarter, weaker than previously expected.
As for the latter half of this year, it's "too early to call" whether there will be a bounce-back. "In our view, the new Ultrabook price points need to come down and utility needs to improve."
Intel shares today are down 12 cents, or half a percent, at $21.15.

@ Spike: Now I get what you were saying: Baratheon has a command tableau for multiplayer games that says "Forces of R'hllor", whereas Stark has Tully, and Lannister has Clansmen. Okay, I don't think that's enough evidence for a "Forces if R'hllor" expansion. I have no idea who the leaders of that expansion should be (except maybe for Axell Florent), and I think FFG has far better options. But it shows again they don't think of Tyrell as a Baratheon expansion, and that's quite nedly.
I'm pretty sure that the R'hllor command crest was added so that Baratheon could be split in three just like the other houses. The rules state that any commander can be used with those crest. That being said, the ally expansions have been made so that they can be used with any house ( may not fit with the story). I imagine what ever ally expansion is next will include a new command crest.
I think it is the strongest (only?) evidence of what might be coming next, but that hardly means it is definitive. I'm still reluctant to place Tyrell into the allied forces category. They have their own agenda and it only aligned with Baratheon's for a short while. Maybe we could get something of the Pirates and Mercenaries flavor in the same way The Brotherhood was released. That would also be a workable allied force for Baratheon, similar to Tribes of the Vale. Still, if I were betting I'd say FF tipped their hand for the next one. It would just be weird for that to be there otherwise. Baratheon just doesn't have as many good options for allied forces that supported them in multiple battles over the corse of the books, with the possible exception of Salador Sann.
The real question is who would even work as a Greyjoy allied force. I mean, does anyone else even like them? :P

Benefit from a unique standard!
A spate of ecological scandals and health scares together with the increasing scarcity of resources have made consumers more sensitive to harmful substances in textiles and to production methods that damage the environment. International legislators have already reacted to this and will introduce even stricter regulations in future, such as the new EU Regulations "Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals" (REACH). Aside from the legal aspect of consumer and environmental protection, the future of the textile industry belongs to brands that can guarantee their products are safe for humans and the environment.
Together with common quality factors like functionality, quality or design, the aspects of environment, health and safety, and the demonstration of an awareness of responsibilities that accompanies them, are becoming a decisive factor for brand image. These aspects are increasingly significant in terms of the trust that consumers place in a brand. This means that the bluesign® standard, which has gained international acceptance among power groups and opinion formers, paves your way to lasting economic success and assures you of a profitable future. It is your guarantee that along the complete production chain, the products you sell that meet the bluesign® standard only contain components and pass through processes that are harmless to people and the environment. Hence it guarantees you an absolute rock-solid reputation, and together with the bluesign® label makes a substantial contribution to a positive brand image.
The bluesign® standard heads one step further than an eco-label. Due to the holistic approach of this industry standard, not only consumer safety is considered, but also other aspects including occupational health, water emission and air emission are taken into account. Besides these important aspects, the principle of resource conservation plays a major role within the bluesign® standard.
The global network gives the bluesign® standard an extremely widespread support base. Because it is orientated to the most stringent and most commercially significant regulations and laws around the world, its international validity simplifies your global purchasing processes.

John R. Wooden Award
Kentucky's Davis Picks Up Wooden Award
Published: Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 2:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 2:46 a.m.
LOS ANGELES | Anthony Davis of national champion Kentucky was on hand Friday night to accept the John R. Wooden Award as the nation's top college basketball player.
The freshman was at the ceremony to collect the last in a slew of player of the year awards he earned while helping the Wildcats earn their eighth national title. Davis was a popular target for autograph hunters before the event at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, where he was accompanied by coach John Calipari.
For the first time in the award's 35-year history, the men's winner was announced during the Final Four last weekend in New Orleans instead of at the ceremony.
Davis received 3,350 points in voting by national media — 333 more than runner-up Thomas Robinson of Kansas, who had 3,017. Draymond Green of Michigan State finished third. Jared Sullinger of Ohio State, a finalist last year, was fourth. Davis and Green were the only men's finalists in attendance.
Davis had an eventful visit to the West Coast, with one of his suitcases getting lost on his way from Lexington, Ky., and meeting with Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant earlier Friday.
Brittney Griner of undefeated national champion Baylor was the leading candidate to win the women's award, which was to be presented during the ceremony. She did not attend. Organizers said she had to attend classes this week and her mother has been ill.
The women's finalists on hand were Skylar Diggins of national runner-up Notre Dame, Nnemkadi Ogwumike of Stanford, Elena Delle Donne of Delaware and Julie Wojta of Wisconsin Green Bay. Griner and Ogwumike were finalists last year, when Connecticut's Maya Moore won for the second time.
UConn women's coach Geno Auriemma was to receive the Legends of Coaching award.

How can we meet the different and often conflicting demands we make on our limited supply of rural land in Europe? A more strategic approach to the way in which land is used is needed than has been the case in the past. This report for DG Environment looks at the data, the challenges and the policy options for Europe.
The greening of the CAP hangs in the balance in the final negotiations; a synthesis of key issues and requirements.
A contentious issue in the negotiations on the future of the CAP is how to implement the proposed new green direct payments to farmers. However, proposals to increase flexibility for Member States will not necessarily be administratively any simpler and may risk weakening environmental outcomes.
What are the implications of the EU budget deal for policies which shape the sustainability of European society? Many of them have been severely challenged or cut disproportionately. At the same time some important commitments have been made, like devoting 20 per cent of spending to climate activities.
This briefing explores the issue of double funding in relation to the CAP reform debate and considers the implications for delivering added value for the environment.
A decade's progress in improving the Common Agricultural Policy's environmental credentials risks being lost if the EP vote to water down the Commission's ambitious proposals to green the CAP.
What will the introduction of environmental measures in Pillar 1 mean for agri-environment schemes in the future? A topic of much debate as part of the CAP reform negotiations, this new report explores the potential impacts of greening Pillar 1 on England's entry-level agri-environment scheme and how a future scheme could be designed to deliver more for the environment and ensure the long term sustainability of farming.
This Policy Brief analyses the outcomes of the Special Summit on the future EU budget, which took place on 22-23 November 2012.
The Water Blueprint proposes action to address 12 key problems for Europe's waters. An IEEP led study found that improved guidance, information system, data exchange and funding were the best instruments to address many of these problems, with limited scope for new law.
Substantial changes to rural development regulation have been proposed which provide significant opportunities for Member States to deliver more for the environment. This report highlights some of these opportunities and sets out a series of principles and environmental priorities to help guide Member States in designing their future rural development programmes.
Biochar has the potential to both mitigate greenhouse gases, and to act as an adaptation measure in terms of responding to the impacts of climate change. Based on its compatibility with the appropriate soil properties, it could increase the resilience of soil to erosion.
Of the three measures proposed to 'green' Pillar 1 direct payments, Ecological Focus Areas have the greatest potential to address a range of environmental concerns. How much of this potential is realised depends on a number of key factors discussed in this new IEEP report prepared at the request of the Land Use Policy Group.
The CAP could, and should, be primarily to assist EU agriculture to become more internationally competitive and sustainable and to achieve this by innovation. It already has many instruments to do this, and the reforms could further assist. However the resources deployed could be far better used.
This IEEP report, commissioned by Novozymes, considers the existing barriers, environmental risks and opportunities and the potential agricultural policy stimuli needed in order to mobilise cereal straw for advanced biofuel production in the EU.
What is the relationship between the management of agricultural land and biodiversity? To what extent are the EU's biodiversity goals addressed through the CAP?
A new study of the 2007-13 agri-environment schemes across the whole of EU-27 provides the first typology of 'entry-level' agri-environment management and environmental objectives, plus a detailed insight into the design of entry-level agri-environment schemes and calculation of payment rates in seven Member States.
IEEP workshop on 6 March brought together a range of stakeholders to discuss possible environmental benefits through Ecological Focus Areas.
The proposals from the Commission on the future CAP, announced on 12 October, could have represented a major step towards improved environmental management across the EU, but in practice they leave major doubts over how much really will be delivered.
This presentation analyses the Commission proposals on the 2014-2020 Multi-annual Financial Framework unveiled on 29 June 2011. More specifically, it identifies opportunities and challenges for the financing of climate change and the environment in the future EU budget.
As a contribution to the CAP reform debate, this report considers options for redesigning the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to maximise the delivery of public goods, particularly in relation to the environment and rural vitality.

Fashion designer Kenneth Cole and Sex and the City star, Sarah Jessica Parker have joined forces in support of amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, with the creation of a limited edition evening bag that will be auctioned live at the New York amfAR Gala on February 6. The bag, which features the inscription "We're All Potential Carriers", includes a condom inside, and was inspired by the notion that every woman should look stylish and be safe.
In addition to being auctioned at the amfAR Gala, the bag will make its runway debut at the Kenneth Colefashion show on February 7. In order to raise additional funds for amfAR, 20 of the bags will be sold during the live stream of the fashion show with 100% of the proceeds being donated to amfAR.
"It's been an amazing experience to collaborate with Kenneth Cole on the design of a handbag supporting amfAR," says Sarah Jessica Parker. "Kenneth has used his platform as a fashion designer for nearly 30 years to advocate for amfAR's mission to end AIDS. I'm thrilled this bag will help raise money and awareness for the 30 million people living with HIV and AIDS."
The gold-dusted black genuine snakeskin clutch will retail for $1,000 and has a gunmetal frame etched with Sarah Jessica Parker's name. It also features a snake chain that can be tucked inside, a wrist strap, and includes a wallet with room for credit cards and a condom.

Christie's sets one wine record, blows another
Christie's auction in Geneva on Tuesday claims to have set a world record price for a bottle of red Burgundy. A U.S. buyer bought the 750 ml bottle of 1945 Romainee-Conti for $123,889. But the house failed to sell its showcase lot of the auction — 315 bottles representing every vintage from '45 to '07 produced by each of the first five growths of Bordeaux.
Meanwhile in New York on Saturday, the star lot – a complete vertical of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild spanning '45-'07 sold to an Asian collector for $150,000.

It hasn't really started pouring in Mumbai! In fact what we are experienceing now seems to be pre-monsoon showers. People tell me that the rains here are a real spoil-sport and dangerous, at times. Weeekends are generally spent either in the malls or in experimental cooking (status: novice)!
Have missed a lot of movie in recent past (Taare Zameen Pe, Incredible Hulk, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Get Smart).. and I guess I won't be able to cover up this backlog!! Life's like that!!.. :)

India v England: Joe Root sets sights on Test debut
Joe Root is hoping he has done enough to earn his England debut on the current tour in India, having scored 166 in a warm-up match.
The 21-year-old Yorkshire opener compiled the runs against DY Patil Academy for the England Performance Programme (EPP) side this week.
"It was crucial I took the opportunity and have the weight of runs behind me," he told BBC Sport.
"If I said I wasn't disappointed not to play in the first Test, I'd be lying."
Root lost out on a Test debut to Nick Compton in the first Test and also missed England's series-levelling victory in the second Test after Jonny Bairstow was called in to replace Ian Bell, who had gone home for the birth of his first child. Read more

Our Focus
1st Saturday of the Month 7:30AM
We are studying the life of Nehemiah
Listen - The Bible gives us a clear message that men must rise to their callings.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising."
Isaiah 60:1-3
Jesus (The Light) has come and has demonstarated His amazing Love by laying down His life for us. We are in dark times and there is an urgency for light. Be His light.
If you have given your life to Jesus's plan of salvation, you are called to fight the 'Good Fight'. You are called to rise and to stand for what is righteous in the eyes of God.
A busy schedule will not exempt you from your duty to rise. Men have the responsiblity to Siritually lead in their homes, places of employment, and all places we walk.
11:00AM on Sundays
Music and Message are the two main thrusts in our gatherings. Your experience should be unique in its style and expression. Our music should excite and refresh. Music allows the mind to enter in and connect to a Loving God. We believe that our music is a key element to draw near. The Word of God says: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. James 4:8,10
Creativity is heightened and awareness is peaked while in the presence of God. God is the Creator of the Heavens and earth and being in His presence will allow us to experience creativity at new levels. Artists will be given the opportunity to express their talents during this sacred time with God. Our Message is based on God's Holy Word (Jesus cruxified and resurrected), Life Experiences, and Testimony. When the Word of God proves out in a Life Expereince, you have a testimony that must be shared.
11:00AM on Sundays
Jesus Loves the Children!
God's word says in Mark 9:36, 37, 42 - Then he put a little child among the disciples. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me. But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck."
Jesus holds children ministry in high regard and responsibility and so should we! Children understand the truths of the Bible at different levels. They need to build a foundation that will keep them strong in their faith through the years ahead. If doing the right thing is important to you, then let us help teach your children God's Holy Word so that this knowledge will lead them to Godly decisions. Acting on the knowledge of the Bible is called wisdom.
6:30PM on Mondays
Women Bible Study is a time to dive into God's Word. There are times a good book is read together, group bible studies are done, or life lessons are shared. Prayers of faith is always offered. Also (once a month) women will gather to live worship music and preaching from Pastor Sherill on today's topics. If you are looking to get deeper into the Word of God and talk about the difficulties that women face, this is a time set aside for you.
5:00PM on Sundays
Watch video - day in the mud
RUSH Hour is a packed full hour of Music, Video, and Bible training for Ages 13 to 18. We have been planning and organizing behind the scenes to get each night ready for you. It starts at 5:00PM for 30 minutes of games and hangout time and at 5:30PM 'Rush Hour' begins.
We're not looking for perfection, but we are interested in experiencing something real. It doesn't matter what you wear, what you've done, or where you've been. We only want to know one thing. Are you ready? Ready to find your purpose, to live life on the edge, and to meet a person so life changing that He empowers us to live supernaturally. Are you ready for Jesus!
6:30PM on Wednesday Nights
In God's Word, Paul states: I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. We must study God's word together to discover the richness and revelation of God's Holy Word. It is wonderful - living and breathing - guiding us along into His purpose and plan for our lives. Come join us for a coffee, fellowship, and the study of His Word.
our first season was a blast - look again for us starting after the first of the year
Talk Show format. Here women come together for practical living ideas, fashion, marriage, health, beauty, and more. Here inspriational stories of how God helped women triumph over life difficulties.
Laugh - Learn - Love
starting a new season at the start of the new year
Health Coaching - coming very soon!
If you have not used the gymnastic rings yet for a workout, get ready. In this type of workout, 30 minutes is all you need and this is including resting.
Body and Spirit. Have you stuggled in your weight management? You are not alone. You can do difficult things if you find your strength in Jesus. Mosy have not put the two together in their persuit in better health.
Both body and spirit need training to give the body opportunity to function at its full potential. We believe that our bodies are made up of the Body, Soul, and Spirit. If all three are healthy and strong you live out your journey of life with joy and fulfillment. Our motto is simple "See the Need Fill the Need." We may see and feel our physical need to exercise but we often overlook our spiritual needs. As athletes train in order to improve their abilities and endurance for competition, so Christians persevere in spiritual training as they patiently endure testing that will bring maturity and completeness.
So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I fight to win. I'm not just shadow-boxing or playing around. Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I myself might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside. 1 Corinthian 9:26,27

you can do this today with linux, just mount all your filesystems syncronously and you will have a system that you can shutdown at any time that it's not writing to your disk.
you will also have a system that you will find unusably slow, you don't realize how much you gain from not waiting for writes to hit disk before continuing.

See http://lwn.net/Articles/350072/ for the details - however, I now think that the only problem is not having synchronous writes, and that LVM is largely OK. This makes sense given that LVM is used a lot in enterprise Linux servers.

Anyway, you can use halt -f to achieve the same thing you a Linux computer. You can probably also bind it to the ACPI event when the power button is pressed to get the desired behavior. The less brave among us would do a sync first :-)
