Samsung unveils two new Exynos SoC's at MWC 2014
MWC 2104 - SoC's centered around smartphones were a big topic at this years Mobile World Congress with big hitters like Qualcomm and Broadcom announcing several new chips designed to carry mobile communications into the next-generation. Samsung was not to be left out of the party either and has announced two new additions to its Exynos line of mobile SoCs.
The Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5422 is an updated version of the Exynos 5 Octa 5420. The SoC features four ARM Cortex-A15 cores and four ARM Cortex-A7 cores in what is known as a big.LITTLE configurations. Clock speeds are set to 2.1GHz and 1.5GHz respectively, and the SoC supports heterogeneous multi-processing just like its predecessor. This means that the computationally intensive task are handled by the ARM Cortex A-15 cores while the low-level duties are passed off to the lighter Cortex A-7 cores. Additionally a dual-channel 32-bit LPDDR3-1866 memory controller is featured as well as a Mali-T628 MP6 GPU. An integrated modem is not present in the SoC though, which means manufacturers will have to look to solutions such as Intel's recently-announced XMM 7160 chip for LTE connectivity.
Samsung also unveiled the new Exynos 5 Hexa 5260, a six-core SoC which also utilizes a big.LITTLE configuration. Two ARM Cortex-A15 cores are paired up with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores with clock speeds at 1.7GHz and 1.3GHz respectively. The 5260 also features a 32-bit LPDDR3-1600 memory controller and HMP support, making it a very tempting processor for applications where low-power draw is ideal. Word on the street is that the Exynos 5 Hexa 5260 will make its way into the Galaxy Note 3 Neo which is slated for a spring launch.
Qualcomm unveils its new 64-bit capable Snapdragon 600, 615 SoCs
MWC 2014 - In the sea of Mobile World Congress 2014 news this week, Qualcomm unleashed two new system-on-chips, the new Snapdragon 600 and 615. Both of these new SoCs feature ARMv8 64-bit processing technology, 4G/LTE connectivity and refreshed Adreno graphics.
The new processors will see four (at up to 1.8GHz) and eight (four at 1GHz, four at 1.8GHz) ARM Cortex-A53 cores, respectively. Both SoCs will feature refreshed Adreno 405 graphics, which supports up-to-date graphics APIs such as DirectX 11.2, and OpenGL ES 3.0, full profile OpenCL 1.1 and hardware accelerated geometry shading and hardware tessellation.
We also have an LPDDR3 memory controller, new display controller which supports up to 2560x2048 displays, improved multimedia processors (with H.265 codec support, Wi-Fi 802.11ac controller, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS/GLONASS, Gobi 4G/LTE cat 4 modem which supports speeds of up to 150Mb/s. Murthy Renduchintala, executive vice president of Qualcomm Technologies said: "Qualcomm Technologies is redefining the user experience for high-end mobile devices by amassing the unparalleled trilogy of an industry-leading LTE modem, 64-bit multi-core processing, and superior multimedia".
Samsung will unveil its new Exynos Infinity SoC at MWC 2014
Mobile World Congress 2014 is just around the corner, and now we have news that Samsung will launch a new SoC at the event - the Exynos Infinity. The Galaxy device maker teased the new chip, which should be quite the performer.
We should expect the Exynos Infinity chip to be the first chip compatible with the 64-bit ARMv8 instruction set, which should feature four ARM Cortex-A57 and four ARM Cortex-A53 cores in ARM Big.Little heterogeneous multi-core configuration for some serious mobile performance. This should be the processor that will power Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S5 smartphone, which should arrive in two models: the standard model, and the new Premium model with the 2K display.
The Galaxy S5 should arrive with LPDDR3 support, 4K video encoding/decoding, 4K rear-camera support, and much more.
Intel preparing native 15-core Xeon processor
Intel is preparing a new 15-core Xeon CPU, which will feature 4.31 billion transistors, a 3.8GHz Turbo Frequency, 155W TDP, 40 PCIe lanes, and will join the Xeon E7 line-up.
This means we can expect the new native 15-core processor to be joined by seven other CPUs for a total of eight CPUs, with Hyper-Threading thrown into the mix we can expect up to 240 threads being capable thanks to this new processor. The new Ivy Bridge-EX processor will feature 15 cores/30 threads, 37.5MB of L3 cache, will support DDR3-1600MHz RAM and most likely come in at over $5000 when it lands.
The new 15-core CPU will use the LGA2011 socket and arrive as the Xeon E7-8890 v2 CPU, we will see 8 members in the Xeon E7-8xxx v2 range.
DARPA, IBM working on self-destructing CMOS chip
I still remember watching The Terminator, where they needed to smash the chip inside of the Terminator's head in order to fully destroy it. Well, DARPA on its path for ultimate robotic takeover of the world, is working with IBM on a self-destructing chip - something out of a sci-fi movie.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded a contract to IBM that will see the company develop a CMOS chip that will self-destruct on command. The project is called Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR), that will prevent expensive, next-gen, classified military systems - such as a Terminator - from being captured, and reverse engineered by the enemy.
DARPA states on the webpage for VAPR: "It is nearly impossible to track and recover every [electronic] device [on the battlefield], resulting in unintended accumulation in the environment and potential unauthorized use and compromise of intellectual property and technological advantage".
The defense agency says that VAPR is a "broad agency agreement" program that was announced just last month, in order to fund multiple development efforts in order to create "electronic systems capable of physically disappearing in a controlled, triggerable manner...[with] performance comparable to commercial-off-the-shelf electronics, but with limited device persistence that can be programmed, adjusted in real-time, triggered, and/or be sensitive to the deployment environment".

AMD announces Operton A1100, an 8-core ARM-based SoC
AMD has just announced its new Opteron A1100 processor, a chip built on a 64-bit capable ARM-based server SoC. This chip has been branded as an Opteron processor, which is the first processor the two companies have worked together on.
The new Opteron A1100, codenamed "Seattle", comes in two flavors: four or eight CPU cores. These cores are based on ARM's Cortex-A57 design, which can be clocked up to 2GHz. Each core shares 1MB of L2 cache, as well as a total of 8MB of L3 cache that all shares can access. The SoC is built at GlobalFoundaries on a 28nm process.
Opteron A1100's memory controller is capable of supporting both DDR3 and DDR4 memory through its 128-bit bus, and AMD's reference platform will support up to 128GB of Registered DDR3 DIMMs. The SoC features an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 controller that supports one x8 or two x4 slot configurations, plus an 8-port 6Gbps SATA controller, and two 10GbE ports.
AMD's new Opteron A1100 chip will sample in March, with the company predicting that ARM-based solutions will occupy 25% of the server market by 2019.
Qualcomm rumored to be working on an 8-core 64-bit processor
Qualcomm is reportedly hard at work on a new processor, something that should blow most other chips away when it comes out. The chipmaker is rumored to be working on a new SoC that would feature 8 processing cores, and would be 64-bit compatible.
The new SoC would feature eight Krait64 general-purpose cores designed in-house at Qualcomm, and would be compatible with ARMv8 architecture with up to 4MB of cache and a 2.5GHz clock speed. We should also expect Adreno 430 graphics on-board (up from the 330 series) with a 500MHz frequency, LPDDR3/LPDDR4 memory controller, and various special purpose hardware/accelerators.
Qualcomm's new SoC would be made on the 20nm process over at TSMC. We should expect it to arrive as the Snapdragon 810 series, with two versions: MSM8994 with integrated baseband and APQ8094 that will require an external telecommunications chip.
AMD releases new Piledriver 12 and 16 core server CPUs
Today AMD announced the launch of its new 12-core and 16-core Opteron 6300 series server processors. The CPU's code named Warsaw have been highly anticipated over the last few months and now that they are here, AMD says that they have been designed with heavy emphasis on Virtualization deployments.
The new 12-core 633P processor features a Piledriver-based 12-core CPU that is clocked at 2.3GHz, and peaks at 2.8GHz during heavy loads. The 16-core 6370P is also Piledriver based and comes clocked at a base frequency of 2.0GHz and when needed can boost to 2.5GHz. Both CPUs are fully compatible with all hardware running existing 6300 series chips, and have a TDP of 99 Watts.
Want that AMD 16-core processor? You can buy it right now for $663
We reported over the weekend on the 16-core processor from AMD, but if you want to get in early, you can buy the Opteron variant of it... right now. The AMD Operton 6300-series, or "Warsaw" processor, is designed for 2- and 4-way goodness in servers.
It uses the socket G34, and are based on the Piledriver architecture. The new chips feature between 12 and 16 cores, 16MB of L3 cache, quad-channel DDR3 memory and much more. They should have a much better performance-per-watt ratio over today's Opteron 6300 series, too. The company were poised to release these new CPUs later in Q1 2014, but ShopBLT is offering a pre-order on the 12-core version for $421, and the 16-core Operton for $663.
The details on the processors are as follows: the 12-core version is the Opteron 6338 HE, which has a 99W TDP. The 16-core processor, is the Opteron 6370 HE, and also has a 99W TDP. The HE stands for high efficiency, and should feature moderate clock speeds to keep the power numbers down.
Intel 9-series chipset will support PCIe M.2 support, 1GB/sec SSDs!
Intel should fully unveil its 9-series chipset as we get closer to Computex 2014 in Taipei in June, but between now and then we'll have to tease you a little on what to expect from Intel's upcoming Haswell refresh-capable chipset.
The new 9-series chipset won't bring many new technologies to the consumer, but it will feature six SATA 6Gbps ports, 14 USB ports, PCI Express 3.0, and the usual array of other technologies. Where things are new, we have support for SSDs in the PCIe M.2 form factor - capable of driving 1GB/sec bandwidth. Intel device protection with boot guard technology, as well as Intel Rapid Storage technology which will support PCI Express-based drives.
There shouldn't be SATA Express support, which is a disappointment, as it is capable of driving 2GB/sec maximum bandwidth. We can't complain about 1GB/sec, as it is much higher than SATA 6Gbps' maximum rate of 600MB/sec.

Arlington, VA – Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released additional guidance for child care and early childhood programs on how to respond to the H1N1 flu. Children in early childhood settings present unique challenges for infection control due to the highly vulnerable population, close interpersonal contact, shared toys and other objects, and limited ability of young children to understand or practice good respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene. And children under age 5 are at increased risk of complications from the flu with the greatest r
WASHINGTON, DC - A new state report card released today reveals that states fall far short of meeting basic requirements needed to protect the health and safety of children in child care, and to promote their school readiness. Out of 150 possible points, the average state score was only 70 points.

User-friendly conservation
The Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy is filling an "urban space" need by protecting tracts that people can use, Executive Director John Girault says. Among those tracts so far:Marsh View Trail and butterfly garden. Off Rifle Range Road behind the Mount Pleasant Waterworks operations center, 57 acres including upland woods, marsh and hummock island.Shem Creek headwaters, 3.37 acres of wetlands and tidal creek off Von Kolnitz Road alongside the Medical Arts Building. Outdoor classroom and field study location for James B. Edwards Elementary School students.Sullivan's Island Stations 9 and 19, 3.09-acre grassy field near the marsh end of Station 19; 0.48 acres of woods and a trail near marsh end of Station 9. Green spaces owned by the town of Sullivan's Island.Online: For more information, go to mountpland.org/preservationSource: Mount P. Land Conservancy
That neighborhood patch of woods along Shem Creek where the kids go for adventure is the latest conservation by the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy, an urban-space group that makes a point of preserving places where people go.
The undeveloped 2-acre tract surrounds the Peggy's Park playground in Shemwood II. For 40 years it's been one of those neighborhood "forests" of the imagination that anyone who played outdoors as a child remembers.
Now it gets to stay that way.
The conservancy acquired the property, put it under conservation easement and deeded it to the Shemwood II homeowners association.
The tract is another effort that is making the modest conservancy a difference maker. The woods are one of a few, if not the only, neighborhood child's-play treasures preserved in the Lowcountry.
"Just a quiet, peaceful haven. The kids can come here, get away from the TV and all the electronics. It's a place for imaginary play, what rarely exists anymore," said Melanie Burkhold, the homeowners association secretary who helped forge the deal as its president.
The 2 acres had been deeded to the town of Mount Pleasant by a previous owner who realized the tract didn't have enough access to develop. The town approached Burkhold, who took it to the association.
Everybody wanted it to stay the way it is, agreed Hoyt Kiser, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1976; the park is named for his late wife, Peggy.
For a lot of land-conservation groups, the focus tends to be large private tracts, working with owners who have the means and the love of the land. For the public at large, those conserved parcels stay part of the viewscape and enhance the overall environment. But they stay hands-off. The Mount Pleasant group works with private tracts, too, but keeps a focus on places that often are more a part of the community.
"Public access is not the priority, but it's certainly up on the list," said John Girault, conservancy executive director.
And tiny Shemwood II is a lot more critical to the overall environs than it seems.
"Not only is it 2 acres on Shem Creek, it's 100,000 acres of Charleston Harbor" because it provides buffer to maintain water quality, said Dana Beach, the Coastal Conservation League director who has championed preserving the Lowcountry landscape. Large-parcel conservation is needed to maintain the region's ecological integrity, he said. But the smaller, accessible tracts are just as much a part of a mosaic "that makes this place such an extraordinary place to live."
"Everybody was adamant" in favor of doing what it took to keep their woods, Burkhold said. It turns out adults also like to stroll under the trees along the feeder creek to Shem Creek. The tract has been a treasure of Shemwood II since the place was developed in the 1970s. A Halloween haunted trail ran under the dense trees for years. The woody environs along the tidal creek gave ambience to oyster roasts held at the park.

By Marine Corps Sgt. M. Trent LowrySpecial to American Forces Press Service
RAWAH, Iraq, Dec. 9, 2008 Before Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Allan Desruisseaux could become a Marine, he had to become a loser.
Desruisseaux lost more than 100 pounds between his first visit to a Marine Corps recruiting substation and the day he graduated from Marine recruit training in April 2007, just 10 months later.
"It was one of those 180-degree turnarounds in life," said Desruisseaux, 21, a telephone systems and personal computer repair technician with Regimental Combat Team 5's Provisional Rifle Platoon 3, from Mesa, Ariz.
At 326 pounds, Desruisseaux decided to join the Marine Corps, but was turned down by recruiters at Recruiting Substation Chandler, Ariz.
Desruisseaux's ex-girlfriend, who had just left him with their infant son, told him he would not be able to make it through boot camp anyway. But instead of giving up, Desruisseaux took the doubt around him and transformed it into motivation.
"I took that as a challenge, and I wanted to prove them all wrong," Desruisseaux said. "I was told it would be impossible for me to join, so I said, 'I'll show you, then!'"
Desruisseaux began a steady regimen of cardiovascular exercise and healthy eating as he worked to obtain his goal of joining the Marines as quickly as possible.
His determination led him to drop 100 pounds in six months.
Desruisseaux returned to the recruiting substation five months after his first visit and watched the Marines' jaws drop. He weighed in at 226 pounds.
"Everyone in there freaked out and couldn't believe it was me," Desruisseaux said. "I had to show my ID, but once I could prove who I was, they were happy to start the enlistment paperwork."
Despite losing the weight, Desruisseaux still faced a physical-fitness challenge. When he originally tried to enlist, he could not complete one dead-hang pull up, and his time in the one-and-a-half-mile run exceeded the required 12 minutes.
Desruisseaux continued to work hard, and by the time he graduated from boot camp, he could do seven pull-ups and run three miles in about 21 and a half minutes. Standing just over 6 feet tall, he weighed in at 189 pounds, which was well under his maximum allowed weight of 208.
"He's not the biggest guy, but he's pretty [strong]," said Sgt. David Lara, 30, a squad leader with PRP-3. "When you used to be over 300 pounds like he was, and now you can regularly crank out 17 pull-ups, that's strong."
Now deployed to Iraq, Desruisseaux said he shocks his family and friends every time he goes home to visit.
"In the states, I do a lot of cardio, because it's running and burning fat, and it's easy to find the time and place to run," he said. "On this deployment, though, I'm trying to gain as much muscle and get as big as possible so people will see the improvement. It's a great feeling when people from home see me and say, 'You look completely different.'"
In Iraq, Desruisseaux is serving as a basic rifleman with the PRP-3.
"He's a good Marine; he does what he's asked and he really knows his stuff," said Cpl. Jordan Carranza, a fire team leader with PRP-3. "He quickly retains the knowledge and utilizes it."
Desruisseaux has embraced his role in the Marine Corps and is proud of his accomplishments so far. "The Marine Corps has given me a lot of good memories and the opportunity to get my life back on track," he said.
He plans to earn a degree in American history, and said he wants to make a better life for his son, Michael, who just turned 3.
"I love him very much," Desruisseaux said. "It's hard to be away from him, but it's worth it -- the time spent away -- because by being in the Marine Corps I can help provide for him. He's the only one on my mind right now."
The last step in Desruisseaux's improvement plan is to have surgery to remove excess skin from his heavier days. It is an operation his mother, Lorri, had more than five years ago after she had a similar reduction in weight.
"When I lost the weight, it made me feel good, because I knew my mom was proud," Desruisseaux said. "I feel great. The fact I accomplished this just shows that hard work pays off.
"It's nice to have the help of others, but just because you don't doesn't mean you give up," he said. "Anybody can change their life."
(Marine Corps Sgt. M. Trent Lowry serves in the Regimental Combat Team 5.)

Watch how the AU$3000 Sony RX1 is made
The Sony RX1 full-frame compact camera may be out of the reach of mere mortals, but we still have the opportunity to see how it gets put together.
The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 made headlines in 2012 by being the first compact camera to have a full-frame sensor packed inside.
While the AU$2999 asking price may be out of reach for many, this video, brought to our attention by Petapixel, brings us all one step closer to what many are calling the holy grail of point-and-shoots.
The teardown, or perhaps that should be tear up, shows three of Sony's products being constructed piece-by-piece. The RX1 is located in the top left corner, next to the Sony Handycam CX760 and above the Xperia Z, which is put together at the bottom left corner.
What genuinely surprised us was the time taken to construct these gadgets. This video was obviously shot in a controlled environment, with little to no resemblance to an actual factory floor. There aren't any huge or obvious edits that take out large steps in the construction process, and still, a finished product can be put together in five minutes.

"I will work every day to make Washington, DC as inconsquential in your life as I can," says Rick Perry as he announces for president. Well, there it is. The 2012 race in a nutshell—"America is not broken. Washington D.C. is broken," as Perry said, in contrast to Barack Obama's continuing insistence that government must somehow lead the way out of the economic doldrums with infrastructure banks and payroll tax cuts and extending unemployment insurance. If the dividing line between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats want, in some sense, to direct America from Washington, Republicans believe the United States should not be directed, and should instead be managed as close to the citizenry as possible.
Most people outside Texas know very little about Perry, but given his standing as a kind of amalgam of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, he may soon occupy an unprecedented position in the imagination of liberals and the Left—perhaps the most frightening specter of anti-liberalism since Ronald Reagan precisely because he is electable. The conservative boogeyman is back.

I'm going to record everything I eat, the amount of cardio, plus how much weight I move during those 6 days to see if anything happens.
I was also thinking the other day that people probably wonder why I post on abc. I'm not a "Competitive Bodybuilder" or a "Competitive Power-lifter" but, I do try to improve my body everyday. Therefore, I AM a body "builder". I also love that this site is based around Christian beliefs and morals. Posting on here also keeps me motivated, and it's helpful to go back and keep track of my lifts & my improvements. AND, I like getting input & advice from others.
So, yeahhhhhhhhh.
I don't know who is wondering why you are posting here, but you don't really need to explain yourself. I am neither a competitive bodybuilder nor a competitive powerlifter. I'm not even Christian or religious at all. All that matters is that we have a better chance of achieving our goals together rather than alone.
You should do that kick boxing class or whatever else you find fun. I find that "cardio" is like pure evil to people. They hate hearing the word and doing the activity. Doing something fun like kick boxing, playing with your dog, or playing some sport with your friends will also burn calories and you are more likely to stay with it because you enjoy it.
Keep up the good work!

This Post Demands a Knee-Jerk Reaction
Human infants are born with a series of reflexes that help them survive -- or that helped their primate or mammalian ancestors survive, whose persistence marks their importance to primate survival. Reflexes are typically not sent to the brain; they occur along a much shorter pathway called a "reflex arc" (your doctor triggers a simple reflex arc by hitting your kneecap with a hammer; you can't control your leg kicking because the signal doesn't go to your brain but rather hits a reflex arc that is much shorter and only goes to your spinal cord) and "primitive" reflexes in infants are those that disappear and are "integrated" and overwritten by the growing nervous system. You can keep your adult knee-jerk reactions -- infants have much cooler reflexes. [more inside]

RETROREPORT - The truth now about the big stories then
How often does a great story dominate the headlines, only to be dropped from the news cycle? How often do journalists tell us of a looming danger or important discovery – only to move quickly to the next new thing? What really happened? How did these events change us? And what are the lingering consequences that may affect our society to this day? These are the questions we are answering at Retro Report, an innovative documentary news organization launched in 2013 as a timely online counterweight to today's 24/7 news cycle. Combining documentary techniques with shoe-leather reporting, we peel back the layers of some of the most perplexing news stories of our past with the goal of encouraging the public to think more critically about current events and the media in ~10 minute segments.
