SANTA CLARA, CA and SHANGHAI, CHINA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Kilopass Technology, Inc. (www.kilopass.com), the leading provider of semiconductor logic non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP), and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (NYSE: SMI) (SEHK: 981), a leading IC foundry, today announced that Kilopass IP has successfully completed the JEDEC 3-lot qualification for the SMIC 65nm, 55nm and 40nm low-leakage (LL) CMOS process technologies. Kilopass provides designers tamper-resistant, highly reliable NVM IP based on SMIC's processes. JEDEC qualification assures designers that Kilopass IP used to store mixed-signal trim data, boot code, and security keys for application processors, MCUs and RF transceivers will guarantee operation and data retention for over 10 years.
"The SMIC 65-, 55-, and 40nm LL logic processes are very popular with our mobile phone and consumer electronics customers," said Tian-Shen Tang, Vice President of Design Services at SMIC. "Kilopass NVM IP on our low-leakage processes provides designers of consumer home electronics and mobile phone SoCs another NVM IP choice for their high-volume designs. The low-leakage processes combine improved performance and reduced power consumption with increased design possibilities and cost efficiencies."
The JEDEC qualification procedure on the SMIC low-leakage CMOS processes subjected Kilopass IP to standard high temperature operating life (HTOL) and high temperature storage life (HTSL) tests. These tests assure SoC designers that Kilopass IP is reliable for over 10 years of operation. The HTOL qualification tests perform a continuous read operation while the memory is subjected to an elevated supply voltage and subjected to a temperature of 125 degrees Celsius. The HTSL test, another JEDEC standard test for predicting device reliability, bakes the Kilopass IP at 150 degrees Celsius unbiased for 1000 hours. During the bake, the NVM memory contents are read at 0, 168, 500, and 1000 hours to confirm data retention.
"We are pleased with our ongoing partnership with SMIC to enable our customers' OTP solutions to achieve product differentiation and faster time-to-market," said Linh Hong, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kilopass. "Low-power 65nm, 55nm and 40nm are critical nodes for mixed-signal technology. We are seeing increasing demand for OTP at these nodes in multiple fields, from wireless connectivity to video decoding products."
Kilopass OTP NVM memory IP has completed JEDEC 3-lot qualification and is available for the following SMIC processes: 40nm, 55nm, 65nm, 130nm, and 180nm. For more details, please contact [email protected].

Untrustworthy sources say he was probably born at Montpellier, France, son of the governor there. He was orphaned when he was twenty. He went on pilgrimage to Rome and devoted himself to caring for the victims of a plague that was ravaging Italy. He became a victim himself at Piacenza but recovered and was reputed to have performed many miracles of healing.
On his return to Montpellier, he was imprisoned for five years as a spy in pilgrim's disguise when his uncle, who was governor, ordered him imprisoned (His uncle failed to recognize him, and Roch failed to identify himself.) Roch died in prison and was only then identified as the former governor's son by a birthmark in the form of a cross on his chest. Another biographer says that he was arrested as a spy at Angers, Lombardi, and died in prison there.
When miracles were reported at his intercession after his death, a popular cult developed and he is invoked against pestilence and plague. He is also the patron of invalids. He is known as Rocco in Italy and Roque in Spain. His feast day is August 16th.

Somali refugees who at one time found shelter in the Arab League Nation of Syria are now being forced to relocate as their host country becomes engulfed in civil war. The Somali community in Syria is small, numbering only a few thousand. With daily bloodshed and bombings a daily fact of life there, the Somalis - already uprooted by the war in their African nation, are forced to find refuge somewhere else.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Somalia has been viewed by the international community as a failed state, following the ouster of former dictator Siad Barre in 1991. Somali civilians have since been put into the crosshairs between rival warlords, the interim government and al-Shabaab fighters with ties to al-Qaeda.
Somalis were relocated to Syria, where visas were not required for citizens from Arab League nations. The big drawback to Somali refugees in Syria was that the Syrian government did not grant work permits to the refugees. The refugees there had limited sources of income that went to buy food and pay rent, but some Somali refugees there did have access to higher education.
There are currently 3,000 registered Somalis living in Syria, which is a downturn from the previous 5,000 registered before the onset of the armed conflict.
"The Somali community in Syria consists mostly of women and children. Although some are fortunate enough to receive remittances from their families living abroad, the rest of us rely on aid from the U.N.," one Somali refugee says, now living in the United States in San Diego, California.
"We were welcomed in Syria. It was a great place for the Somali people," she says, recalling a time of peace and stability. "The kids were enrolled in school and there were no problems. Life was normal."
She also say that leaving behind friends she cared deeply about brought great sadness, even as she settled into her new life in the U.S.
"I can't be happy without feeling guilty. Just thinking about them [friends and neighbors] takes away my happiness . I pray for my neighbor of 20 years every day," she adds.
For the Somalis who remain in Syria, the wait to be transferred to another host country for the second time is raising fear and uncertainty.
Bob Montgomery, executive director of the International Rescue Committee in San Diego, says that there "certainly is a traumatic impact on people who have suffered and been through such an experience . There are still people there that are pending to come to the United States. A lot of them have to lay low until it is time for them to leave."
According to the UNHCR, "the incidence and severity of security and protection incidents affecting refugees rose perceptibly in mid-2012, with reported killings, kidnappings, domestic violence, threats, and harassment."

All Religions In One Charm Bracelet
By Relax, It's Just God on October 02, 2012
BlogHer Spotlight
Reflecting on her own childhood fascination with her mother's jangly charm bracelet, Wendy hatched a brilliant plan - create a sparkly, shiny charm bracelet featuring a variety of religious symbols as a teaching tool for her daughter:
"I'd like for Maxine to recognize religious symbols and have some sense of their back stories. It's a challenge sometimes, though, to introduce the basic concept of religion without, you know, boring her to tears. I figured if Maxine had a bracelet with religious symbols in her jewelry box, she might drag it out every once in a while and look at it. If I got lucky, maybe she'd even ask a question or two."

Royals "making progress" toward re-signing Bruce Chen
Nov 23, 2011, 3:41 PM EDT
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Start reports that the Royals are "making progress in reaching agreement on a new contract" with free agent left-hander Bruce Chen, with general manager Dayton Moore saying that the two sides are hoping to get a deal finalized before the winter meetings next month.
Chen looked just about finished in his late twenties, but got his career back on track in the Royals' rotation by throwing 295 innings with a 3.96 ERA during the past two seasons.
Dutton writes that he's seeking a two-year deal in the range of $5 million per season, which is a pretty big commitment to a 32-year-old with a spotty track record and high-80s fastball.
In the meantime the Royals offered Chen arbitration, which means if he does sign elsewhere they'll get a compensatory draft pick for the Type B free agent.

Overseas Filipino workers are losing their jobs because of the recent economic slowdown. Will they continue being their country's "modern heroes"?
December 11, 2008 10:43 by Dana El Baltaji
Around 1,200 Filipinos have lost their overseas jobs this year and as many as 50,000 more may be laid off next year as the global recession cuts demand for workers in Asia and elsewhere, the Philippines labor secretary Marianito Roque told Bloomberg recently.
That's not very heartening news for an economy that is particularly dependent on foreign remittances, and calls its foreign workers "modern heroes." Around 1.08 million Filipino workers immigrated last year, according to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA); money sent home from abroad accounts for 11.6 percent of the Philippine economy. Worldwide remittances in 2007 reached $14.4 billion, 13.2 percent higher than 2006. The largest remittances come from US, followed by Saudi Arabia.
While the US employs the largest number of overseas Filipinio workers (OFW's), the Middle East comes next. In 2007, the number of OFWs in the region stood at more than 2.1 million.
According to the POEA, the Middle East also accounted for 45 percent of the total number of hires and re-hires of OFWs in 2007, the largest in the world. The number indicated a 5.5 percent increase over 2006.
Saudi Arabia topped the list, followed by the UAE. Qatar and Kuwait also came within the top ten destinations for OFWs.
That being the case, the region will play an important role in determining the future of the "modern heroes." According to the the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), money sent home by UAE-based Filipinos through banks was $502.1 million in 2007. That was 32.9 per cent higher than the previous year.
Most of the countries in the region have already starting hiring less domestic helpers from the Philippines; Saudi hired just 2,581 helpers in 2007, as compared to 11,898 in 2006, a decline of more than 78 percent. In the UAE, the rate fell by 73 percent, and in Qatar it fell by 70 percent.
According to the report, the Philippine government's salary regulations have also made Filipinos more expensive compared with workers from India and elsewhere; for instance, Filipinos working as construction laborers in Saudi Arabia have a minimum salary of $250 a month, compared with as little as $110 a month for other nationalities.
While the Philippines is not the only country affected by the credit crunch, the island nation may have to take some steps, like alter its salary regulations, to help its heroes battle the crisis successfully.-AN

I dont think alter the salary of the Filipinos can help the crisis. Filipinos are working so much, what salary we are receiving now are still not worth it! We are working so hard than other nationalies. And just incase that some Filipinos are getting good salary, it is because of the satisfaction of the employer.
The minimum salaries are in place to shield overseas workers, particularly domestic helpers from abusive employers. It's one of the few things the government has really done to protect its "'heroes".'
Filipinos, in general, are relatively reasonable when it comes to salaries vs. work requirements. Just like what Anne said, Filipinos may have higher minimum wages, but when it comes to work quality and output, they can produce double even triple than other nationalities.
Ironically, in companies where they are cutting down on redundancies, Filipinos are the ones retained because of their capacity to multi-task — same salary for double the work. Thus, the actual market value of the labor is actually much lower.
Saudi Arabia ought to be ashamed to pay construction workers as little as 110 dollars a month. The Philippines is certainly to be commended to at least require a minimum of 250 a month.
Arroyo seems to be upbeat about the opportunities for more Filipinos to be hired in Qatar but this may be her own spin on a situation where in reality the numbers of Filipinos hired is decreasing.

Preventing adolescent health-risk behaviors by strengthening protection during childhood
ABSTRACT To examine the long-term effects of an intervention combining teacher training, parent education, and social competence training for children during the elementary grades on adolescent health-risk behaviors at age 18 years.
Nonrandomized controlled trial with follow-up 6 years after intervention.
Public elementary schools serving high-crime areas in Seattle, Wash.
Of the fifth-grade students enrolled in participating schools, 643 (76%) were given written parental consent for the longitudinal study and 598 (93%) were followed up and interviewed at age 18 years.
A full intervention provided in grades 1 through 6 of 5 days of in-service training for teachers each intervention year, developmentally appropriate parenting classes offered to parents when children were in grades 1 through 3 and 5 through 6, and developmentally adjusted social competence training for children in grades 1 and 6. A late intervention, provided in grades 5 and 6 only, paralleled the full intervention at these grades.
Self-reported violent and nonviolent crime, substance use, sexual activity, pregnancy, bonding to school, school achievement, grade repetition and school dropout, suspension and/or expulsion, and school misbehavior; delinquency charges from court records; grade point average; California Achievement Test scores: and disciplinary action reports from school records.
Fewer students receiving full intervention than control students reported violent delinquent acts (48.3% vs 59.7%; P=.04), heavy drinking (15.4% vs 25.6%; P=.04), sexual intercourse (72.1% vs 83.0%; P=.02), having multiple sex partners (49.7% vs 61.5%; P=.04), and pregnancy or causing pregnancy (17.1% vs 26.4%; P=.06) by age 18 years. The full intervention student group reported more commitment (P=.03) and attachment (P=.006) to school, better academic achievement (P=.01), and less school misbehavior (P=.02) than control students. Late intervention in grades 5 and 6 only did not significantly affect health-risk behaviors in adolescence.
A package of interventions with teachers, parents, and children provided throughout the elementary grades can have enduring effects in reducing violent behavior, heavy drinking, and sexual intercourse by age 18 years among multiethnic urban children. Results are consistent with the theoretical model guiding the intervention and support efforts to reduce health-risk behaviors through universal interventions in selected communities or schools serving high-crime neighborhoods.

- "Student disruptive and challenging behaviors are major concerns to teachers (Reinke et al. 2011). Considerable research has demonstrated that effective teacher classroom management strategies can reduce disruptive behavior (Hawkins et al. 1999; Kellam et al. 1998; Walker et al. 1995), and enhance academic achievement (Brophy 1996; Coladarci and Gage 1984), school readiness, and student's social competence (Webster-Stratton et al. 2008, 2004). Conversely, ineffective classroom management practices are associated with increased disruptive behavior, and negative academic, behavioral, and social outcomes for students (Ialongo et al. 2001; Kellam et al. 1998; National Research Council 2002). "
ABSTRACT: Despite the growing evidence base for the efficacy of preventive interventions, the level of implementation of these interventions in schools is often less than optimal. One promising approach to supporting teachers in implementation of interventions is the use of coaching. In this study, teachers were trained in a universal classroom management intervention and provided ongoing coaching. The association between the type and amount of coaching activities and teacher implementation of proactive classroom management over time were investigated. Results indicated that teachers who received more performance feedback had higher levels of implementation over time in comparison with teachers who received less feedback. In addition, a significant interaction between the amount of coaching a teacher received and his or her implementation of proactive classroom management was found. Increased implementation over time was observed for teachers with lower initial levels of implementation who received more coaching, whereas implementation decreased over time for teachers who received less coaching. The importance of coaching as a support system for enhancing implementation quality of classroom-based preventive interventions is discussed.Journal of Behavioral Education 03/2014; 23(1).

- "More than half of the analysis sample (n = 359; 50.8%) came from low-income families (as indicated by their participation in the free school lunch program in Grades 5, 6, or 7). A portion of the sample was exposed to a multicomponent preventive intervention in elementary grades, consisting of teacher training, parenting classes, and social competence training for children (see Hawkins et al., 1999, for a description and analysis of the intervention and effects). Although differences in prevalences and means have been observed between intervention and control groups, prior analyses have shown few differences in the covariance structures of the groups (Abbott et al., 1991; Catalano et al., 1996; Huang et al., 2001).

Article: Examining Explanatory Mechanisms of the Effects of Early Alcohol Use on Young Adult Alcohol Dependence[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study examined potential explanatory mechanisms linking childhood alcohol use onset and chronicity of adult alcohol dependence by testing the following three competing hypotheses: (1) a marker hypothesis, where early onset of alcohol use may be simply a marker for other factors that have been linked to both age at initiation and adult alcohol problems; (2) a compromised development hypothesis, where early alcohol initiation may interfere with adolescent development, which can lead to later alcohol problems; and (3) an increased substance use hypothesis, where early onset of alcohol use may lead to increased substance use in adolescence and, in turn, chronic alcohol dependence. Data came from a longitudinal community sample of 808 participants recruited at age 10 in 1985. Participants were followed through age 33 in 2008 with 92% retention. Childhood onset of alcohol use (before age 11), when compared with initiation during adolescence, predicted an increased chronicity of adult alcohol dependence, even after accounting for the hypothesized confounds from the marker hypothesis. In addition, adolescent compromised functioning did not mediate this relationship between early alcohol use and chronicity of adult dependence (Hypothesis 2), nor did adolescent substance use (Hypothesis 3). However, compromised functioning and substance use in adolescence predicted increased chronicity of alcohol dependence in young adulthood. Prevention efforts as early as the elementary grades should focus on delaying the onset of alcohol use and reducing substance use in adolescence as well as improving school functioning, reducing adolescent problem behaviors, and targeting adolescent peer networks.Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs 05/2012; 73(3):379-90.

- "One trial identified. Hawkins et al., (1999, 2005 "
ABSTRACT: A systematic review was conducted to determine the extent to which an economic case has been made in high-income countries for investment in interventions to promote mental health and well-being. We focused on areas of interest to the DataPrev project: early years and parenting interventions, actions set in schools and workplaces and measures targeted at older people. Economic evaluations had to have some focus on promotion of mental health and well-being and/or primary prevention of poor mental health through health-related means. Studies preventing exacerbations in existing mental health problems were excluded, with the exception of support for parents with mental health problems, which might indirectly affect the mental health of their children. Overall 47 studies were identified. There was considerable variability in their quality, with a variety of outcome measures and different perspectives: societal, public purse, employer or health system used, making policy comparisons difficult. Caution must therefore be exercised in interpreting results, but the case for investment in parenting and health visitor-related programmes appears most strong, especially when impacts beyond the health sector are taken into account. In the workplace an economic return on investment in a number of comprehensive workplace health promotion programmes and stress management projects (largely in the USA) was reported, while group-based exercise and psychosocial interventions are of potential benefit to older people. Many gaps remain; a key first step would be to make more use of the existence evidence base on effectiveness and model mid- to long-term costs and benefits of action in different contexts and settings.Health Promotion International 12/2011; 26 Suppl 1:i108-39.

From Guitar Hero to Black Friday, Shamoozal's got it covered!
you had me...
for a while, but then just walked away from the "goat" thing that was pretty much driving this
The comedy was great. The pacing was quick and punchy and whilst i was a little confused at the start about what on earth was going on when we got back to the main characters i could easily follow the plot. The concept of a god imposter was nice and i enjoyed the failed parachute subplot and the scene at the end was hilarious. The voice acting is good but not amazing, and the animation is a little lazy. The art i think is fine. All in all it was an enjoyable animation with some great comedy. Keep it up!
this movie is werid and funny
this movie is werid n the way that whats with the gaot way u know.. y not a frog or bunny haha

Thomas Peterffy grew up in socialist Hungary. Despite the fact that he could not speak English when he immigrated to the United States in 1956, Thomas fulfilled the American dream. With hard work and dedication, he started a business that today employs thousands of people. In this self-financed ad, Peterffy warns Americans that the economic freedom which gave him the opportunity to succeed is slipping away, and this will hurt the poor.

Rangers avoid arbitration with Michael Sauer, lock up Artem Anisimov
Jul 8, 2011, 1:23 PM EDT
The New York Rangers are staring down the barrel of some rather awkward situations with prominent restricted free agents this summer. If progress isn't made in the next couple weeks, they'll need to go to salary arbitration with the likes of Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Brian Boyle. That being said, GM Glen Sather narrowed down his list of problems by signing arbitration-eligible RFA Michael Sauer as well as one RFA who wasn't eligible for arbitration in Artem Anisimov.
Sauer signed a two-year deal worth $2.5 million, according to Jesse Spector. Meanwhile, Andrew Gross reports that Anisimov agreed to a two-year, $3.75 million contract extension. Anisimov's $1.875 million cap hit and Sauer's $1.25 million mark drive the Rangers' current payroll to $51.4 million, according to CapGeek.com. That gives the Rangers about $12.9 million to sign Boyle, Dubinsky and Callahan (or make other moves if they decide to let one or more of those players walk).
Sauer is a Rangers second round pick (40th overall in 2005) who finally found his way into the team's rotation after playing just three games heading into the 2010-11 season. Sauer appeared in 76 games in 10-11, scoring 15 points while earning an impressive +20 rating while averaging 17:31 minutes per game. Sauer seemed promising in a role as a second pairing defenseman, working well with fellow young blueliner Ryan McDonagh.
The Rangers also drafted Anisimov in the second round (54th overall in 2006). After playing in just one game in 2008-09, Anisimov played all 82 games in both 09-10 and 10-11. He scored 28 points while averaging a little under 13 minutes per game in 09-10 before improving to 44 points and more than 16 minutes per game in 10-11. Anisimov spent some time as the center of the Rangers' top line last season but should be their second or third line center with the addition of Brad Richards.
Both of these moves are solid ones for the Rangers, a team that stays afloat largely because homegrown talent picks up the slack for questionable free agent moves. If Richards actually works out, this team could really be onto something … but let's make sure they lock up their remaining free agents before anyone gets too excited.
- stakex - Jul 8, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Now the big question…. do the Rangers have enough money left to keep Callahan and Dunbinsky?
- James O'Brien - Jul 8, 2011 at 2:48 PM
I think they have enough. They'd be wise to leave enough for some breathing room at the trade deadline, too, but that might be asking too much…

It takes a monster personality to handle a monster truck, and Ian Soanes is certainly larger than life.
The motor stuntman is in Palmerston North for two performances of the Demon Energy/Rock FM Biggest, Baddest Monster Truck Tour at Arena Manawatu starting tonight.
Even the event title is big and it's the first time the show has been to Palmerston North.
South African-born Mr Soanes has been driving monster trucks since the 1970s. He said he got into the action because it made him popular with the girls.
"It's amazing the amount of sympathy I'd get when I had an accident and ended up in hospital."
Given his reputation as the best in the business, it should come as no surprise his 13-year-old son Tyrin has jumped behind the wheel and is creating a name for himself in the sport.
"He's been driving for years already and holds the world record for being the youngest in the world to drive a car on its two side wheels," said Mr Soanes.
Mr Soanes will be thrilling the crowd tonight alongside Benn Milne, who performs a human torch act and drives the Terror Trip monster truck, capable of jumping more than 15 metres high and 30m through the air over cars.
Rangi Cornfoot will be behind the wheel of a truck that has appeared in an energy drink advertisement and burns 80 litres of alcohol per kilometre with its 1500hp engine.
Clearly an adrenaline junkie, Mr Soanes holds numerous records for motor stunts. All six of his children have given the sport a go, although Tyrin is the one who has stuck at it.
Even wife Debbie was a bridge jumper.
The trucks will be hard out in action tonight and tomorrow night in a two-hour show of bangs, crashes, fire, explosions and FMX (freestyle motocross) aerial displays starting at 6.30pm.

BJP launches Bangla Bachao movement
Kolkata: The BJP in West Bengal on Sunday launched the "Bangla Bachao" movement against alleged violence unleashed by TMC activists in response to attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and finance minister Amit Mitra in Delhi by SFI activist.
"We have condemned the attack on chief minister and finance minister. But the attack on CM doesn`t mean that Trinamool has the right to usher in violence in Bengal and vandalise the hallowed Presidency University," Rahul Sinha, BJP state president, said.
Sinha announced that the state BJP unit would launch a Bangla Bachao campaign throughout the state from today till April 28 to plead for restoration of peace in Bengal and cessation of political violence in the state.
CPI(M) state secretary Biman Bose a few days back had alleged that Trinamool Congress supporters have destroyed more than 1,000 Left Front offices in the state.

The corner of College Street and Catfish Alley (Fourth Street South) in Columbus is home to one of about 135 official Mississippi Blues Trail markers. Photo by: Adrian Bohannon
August 13, 2011 8:35:00 PM
JACKSON -- The Mississippi Blues Trail mobile app is now available for download from the iTunes® store. The free app, currently available only for iPhones, has a variety of features to allow users to navigate the trail and create customized itineraries to explore Mississippi''s musical heritage.
"Blues enthusiasts will be able to map their travels along the trail and easily buy music from these Mississippi artists," Gov. Haley Barbour said. "The mobile app is an innovative way for visitors to tour and experience the Mississippi Blues Trail."
Funding for the development of the project was provided by a grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Mississippi Development Authority''s Tourism Division. Greenwood-based Hammons and Associates acts as project manager for the Mississippi Blues Trail and partnered with Starkville-based Concept House in developing the new app.
"I think the really exciting part of the new Blues Trail app is the appeal it will have for younger generations. It''s a remarkable way to combine music, geography and the astonishing history of the impact of Mississippi''s blues musicians on world music. It''s a winner, and it sets a high bar as a new cultural heritage tourism asset," said Bill McPherson, chairman of the Mississippi Blues Commission.
"This fun and user-friendly tool is another resource to promote Mississippi''s diverse cultural heritage and attract visitors to the state to experience the sights and sounds of the True South for themselves," said Mary Beth Wilkerson, director of MDA''s Tourism Division.
The main menu for the Mississippi Blues Trail app consists of six main buttons:
n People - This button shows individuals mentioned on markers and links back to the pages they are associated with.
Another recent addition to the Blues Trail program is the use of QR (or "quick response") codes on certain markers that allow visitors to scan them with any smartphone and view the same videos that are available on the mobile app. For those who prefer not to use the QR codes, links to the films are also noted on the markers so visitors can manually type them into their phone or laptop browser.
With approximately 135 markers, the Mississippi Blues Trail is a museum without walls taking visitors on a musical history journey through Mississippi and beyond.
Area markers are located in Columbus, West Point, Crawford, Macon and Aberdeen.
For more information, visit msbluestrail.org or explore the official Mississippi Development Authority''s Tourism website, VisitMississippi.org.
