ARM's stiff upper lip trembles at Chipzilla's Medfield

It's all about process
Analysts (including us) have used the phrase "Intel vs. ARM" because it's a useful summary of a competitive situation, but it's not very accurate one. ARM is a CPU design firm that's built and licensed its architectures to a number of third parties. The situation is more properly understood as Intel versus Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Texas Instruments.
Because the majority of ARM licensees contract with a foundry for their microprocessor manufacturing, it's also accurate to visualize the competitive situation as a battle between Intel and TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Samsung. One of the major differences between the two ecosystems is that Intel builds its own processors while the majority of ARM licensees rely on one of the three foundries listed above.
When Intel begins ramping a process node, it has full visibility on both the CPU architectures intended for that node and all of the node's manufacturing characteristics. If, for example, Intel decides it makes sense to deploy peanut butter + silicon-on-insulator technology when Atom moves to 22nm, it can do so. The fact that only Atom will ever use PB-SOI isn't an internal roadblock. Intel can similarly opt to hand-optimize a processor's critical speed paths or deploy it on a specialized low-power variant of a mainstream process. Such decisions may delay a product launch or increase manufacturing costs, but they don't raise the specter of a conflict of interest.
Foundries don't work this way. When TSMC or GloFo decide to deploy a new node, they build out multiple production lines that focus on different capabilities. These product lines are then offered to customers, who work with the foundry to adapt their designs for mass manufacture. Large customers can pay for customized work, but not to the same degree that a company like Intel can achieve.
The foundries aren't blind to the need for closer cooperation with their partners. According to RealWorldTech's David Kanter, industry veterans recognize "that co-optimization between manufacturing and circuit design is necessary for success, especially for anyone interested in cutting edge work. Rather than having a discrete hand-off between manufacturing and design, a co-operative and iterative approach where trade-offs are considered jointly is needed."
There's also a problem of pacing. The technology gap between Intel and the rest of the foundry industry is now ~21 months wide and is still increasing. Intel plans to launch 22nm Atoms in 2013 with 14nm following in 2014.
TSMC claims it will begin risk production of 20nm "G" silicon in late 2012 with low power 20nm following in 2013. It's historically taken TSMC 12-18 months to transition from risk production to shipping products — if the company follows this trend, we won't see smartphone silicon on 20nm until early-to-mid 2014. GF's roadmap shows it shipping low-power 20nm in 2013 but says nothing about the company's transition to 14nm. GF has previously indicated that it intends to adopt extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) at this node; the company may be reticent to forecast its 14nm timeline given the difficulty of that transition.
Medfield's launch, and Intel's associated roadmaps, are proof that the ARM vendors will have to accelerate their own product designs if they want to remain competitive. While it's true that smartphones were evolving at a rapid pace before Intel entered the picture, the Z2460 launch will kick things into overdrive. Competing with Intel means improving memory and cache latencies, storage I/O, and RAM bandwidth — and not just on paper, but in real life. It also means improving power management in order to ensure that higher performance doesn't come at the cost of lower battery life.
Cache and I/O performance are two areas where ARM devices have been historically weak, but that's no longer a luxury the vendors can afford. Improved design/manufacturing co-optimization is a must in order to compete with Intel's capabilities in these areas.

¿ Do you have some problem with ARM to be so biased ?.
ARM hast not been standing still, expecting that Intel would never improve. BIG.Little architecture will be something very hard to catch for Intel, even with far better foundry process (something ARM can't do nothing about).
Joel Hruska
Intel's response to big.LITTLE is that they don't need it. We will see if this turns out to be true — it's certainly possible. It comes down to the ability to customize the underlying silicon, which is something Intel can do far more than the ARM vendors can.
The big.LITTLE approach makes sense, given the realities of production at the big foundries. It's not a bad strategy — but that doesn't mean Intel can't match it. The question is whether or not Intel can match the power consumption curves ARM vendors hit with big.LITTLE through the use of a single CPU core.

¿ Why don't wait to see if real life Medfield is half as good as some interested Intel benchmark says, before announce ARM inevitably death ?.
Intel has a very large history promising astonishing Atoms that never materializes (Atom always remembers me their GPU efforts).
Joel Hruska
"ARM" is not the problem — at least, not really. The bigger question is whether or not ARM's foundry partners can keep pace with Intel. Regardless, no one is forecasting ARM's death, least of all me.

What's missing from this article is any mention of power gating. ARM is way ahead of Intel in this area, and the effect is even greater when all of the A/V and I/O parts of a modern SoC are considered. Even if the on-demand performance is equivalent the ARM part can spend most of its time with more than half of its pieces powered down, with significant effect on battery life and therefore market appeal. Medfield would need to have *at least* twice the raw performance of equivalent-generation ARM to overcome that, and it's nowhere close. How could a serious article on the subject not even address the issue?
Joel Hruska
Because I've already addressed it.
For Extremetech: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/112851-intel-medfield-x86-smartphones/2
and in more detail, for Hot Hardware:
If you want information on how Medfield's power consumption lines up against current shipping solutions, you can also check Anandtech:
Your statements regarding ARM being "way ahead of Intel" as far as their expertise in power gating are no longer correct. Medfield's most important achievements are in this area, and it's actually the bigger problem for ARM designs going forward as we move to smaller process geometries. Performance, as I note, is not so much the issue.

"Warren East lashed out at the idea"He did not "lash out" nor is he scared. If anything he sounds confident as he should be. ARM has all the advantages on their side except process technology and that can't last forever nor is that gap increasing like you said.

And then the 800lb gorilla entered the cage :)
This is the exact same talk that was put forward when Microsoft made a little gaming console called the Xbox.
Marc Guillot Puig
The 800lb gorilla has been trying to enter in this cage for 4 years.
I will believe it when I see it.
But Joel Hruska do not write a sentence about Suvolta Powershrink tech which ARM have co-development with and that ARM have signed joint-venture with UCSD/MIT in development of energy boosting in efficiency.
One of Suvolta founders is a former Intel Fellow researcher.

Is it just me or does the left hlf of the AMD "Core Floor Plan" look a lot like North-America?
Jeremy Thomson
It galls me, as an ARM fanboi since the archimedes, but I wonder if ARM have awoken a sleeping giant. Sure the x86 is kludge cubed that can trace the instruction set back to 8080, the most inelegant, inefficient POS that I never wan't to write assembler on ever again. And that counts for nothing because Intel have always had the best silicon process. With the best silicon even a 486 throwback can be competitive.
I sure hope Sumsung, TSMC and Global Foundries can compete with Intel on silicon process, but I doubt it. Intel has been winning with great silicon and mediocre design for a long time.
Is great design and great silicon too much to hope for?
The 800lb gorrila is Medfields price ? yes it "might" be competitive on performance and maybe even wattage, but Arm SoC tend to be sub $20 . Atoms are normaly at least twice that Of course Intel can price its Medfields that low , but does it make any money at that price? In a year or 2 the increased performance will be good enough to start harming sales of I3 etc. Can t see Intel shareholders being too impressed with falling margins . Does Intel really want to be in a low margin arms race with Samsung, Qualcomm etc ?
Joel Hruska
Intel can subsidize lower prices on Medfield to launch the part, then introduce higher prices when/if they establish a leadership position in performance and power consumption.
yes I know that is the plan , but its not gunna happen till at least 14 nm.. Being in an arms race with 4 or more different competitors won't be easy for Intel and the main problem is the size of each atom core , Medfield on a smaller node is similar size to Tegra 3 – around 80mm2- and that has 5 cores . So to increase Medfields to compete with A15 without increasing mhz by 50% (eats battery) then more core s need to be added, so the die will get bigger by prob 15mm2. I expect the first A15 SoC to be around 50mm2 with 2 A15 and maybe an A7, which will be half the Intel 2 core Medfield . Of course when the new OOO Atom appears at 14 nm then its game on . But I still can t see it being more than 15 % better than Arm at that time, and will have cost Intel billions in R&D and not made them a penny
Joel Hruska
Comparing SoC to SoC isn't an accurate way to measure die size. Tegra 3 is 5 cores, but it's 5 cores + additional hardware. Ditto for Medfield. The latter has a 256K SRAM that also pumps up die size (I don't think Tegra 3 has an analog.
It's definitely true that Saltwell (the CPU inside Medfield) is larger than any single ARM9 core. Is Saltwell bigger than NV's five A9 cores? Probably not.
Also, remember that the difference between process shrinks is squared, not linear. 22nm isn't 78.5% the size of 28nm — it's 61% as large.
yes i know its cores plus other stuff , thats why tegra 2 to tegra 3 increased from 55mm2 to 80 ish mm2 on the same node , the 3 extra 5mm2 cores added 15 mm2 and the bigger GPU about 5mm2 and other stuff about 5mm2 to make it 25mm2 bigger . I think Saltwell is about 15mm2 per core at 32 nm process and was approx 25mm2 at 45nm. So on an equal process is at least 4 times the size of Arm A9. A15 at 32 mn will be about 4 to 5mm2. An A7 approx 40% the size of an A9 and will be about 1 mm2 , ( ARM claims a single Cortex A7 core will measure only 0.5mm2 on a 28nm process), but i don't think that includes everything . How big do you think the Saltwell core is ?
What Intel should do if they want to enter this phone SoC market is set up a new company , think toyota – lexus , so as not to confuse with Intel and X86 . Then manufacture Arm IP like Qualcomm or even Arm chips . With its manufacturing lead it would wipe the floor with Samsung, Qualcomm etc. Forcing x86 in this space is like fighting with a huge monkey on your back and if you do get it to work it harms you main cash cow . Silly Idea . . Maybe the OoO atom won t be anything to do with X86? because legacy code in this market isn t needed and just holds you back. No one is gunna want to pay £100 per program as in Wintel world for a phone app when Arm android apps are £10 . So being X86 is no benefit , best start afresh if ya a new comer . Of course its slightly different in tablets , but there will be Arm Android tablets at £200-£300 and Arm Windows Tablets at £400 and X86 Intel / AMD windows tablets at £500 . All will be different and in no way compatible with each other
Joel Hruska
I think you're flat wrong regarding x86 being a huge monkey. There's no evidence it'll harm Intel's margins or ability to compete, as I've discussed at length.
There's no evidence Intel is pursuing a non-x86 strategy in this space.
While you're correct about different price points for different hardware, both Microsoft and Intel have gone to great lengths to ensure cross compatibility. Apps written for Windows 8 will run on ARM or x86. Intel has been working extensively with app developers to ensure that x86 versions of apps are available as well, with a goal of 90% compatibility by product launch.
Finally, there's no evidence that anyone is talking about $100 x86 apps versus $10 ARM apps. Again, there's a price differential to be negotiated — but others have noted the price difference between regular video games vs. portable video games (as an example) in the past. Such differences must be addressed regardless.
To be competive in this market means selling your SoC for around $20 , Intel won t be making 60% at that price . Arn't desktop Aoms at least twice the price at similar die size ?
Arm A9 cores are similar performance to Atom at similar clock speeds , and this is with a core 3 or more times smaller , so your saying X86 is efficient ?
The only way Intel is able to compete with year old Arm designs is with a superior manufacturing process , Atom X86 at 45 nm was a failure in smartphones
Intel prob won't ditch X86 in the smartphone market , (loss of face) but on an equal playing field , its not helping much either. Stick with X86 and you need your manufacturing process to be able to see the lead runners in front , get rid of that monkey off ya back and see how much faster you could run . Intel making Arm A15s on a 22 nm process would kill the rest tomorrow As would a compleatly new ground up legacy free design, but that would take 2 years or more . Can t really see any advantage of X86 arch in this new market with no legacy code . If X86 wins the smart phone , it will be inspite of X86 not because of it .
And the faster and more capable Atom is made the less people will need to spend extra on I3 etc . An I3 is just about fast enough for 80% of the world at the mo , so of course the accelerated road map for Atom now is gunna hurt their margins, Thats unless smartphone-tablet Atom will be completely split from desktop I3-I5 and run compleatly different code …. in which I see no benefit to X86 on Atom ? It seemed till last year it was slowly letting Atom die , n was gunna phase it out as I3 got more power efficient . Intel have got there self between a rock n hard place by getting into an arms race . They ve managed to keep AMD at bay with a better CPU and process , can t say it having only one advantage will work against Samsung and Qualcomm .
we ve no real idea how the tablet market will go , but microsoft arn't used to selling office for £10 and giving windows away for free like Android . so maybe thats why there saying locked boot loaders on windows tablets ?
Joel Hruska
You're over-focusing on the x86 vs. ARM angle. At the end of the day, what manufacturers care about is the size, performance, and power consumption of the entire phone. Obviously, yes, SoC parts play into that, and CPU architecture plays into *that*, but the choice of uarch isn't the deciding factor you're making it out to be.
One of the major points of my article is that this isn't about "x86 vs. ARM." It's about Intel's ability to execute a roadmap vs. GloFo and TSMC. It's about total device power consumption. There are a myriad of factors that you're glossing over when you turn it into a uarch debate.

How much time will it take before we see Asians being accused
of stealing Intel's secret sauce and then selling us our own innovations?
The last chart here is a tell-tale sign of the danger:
1980s: PCs competing against systems with superior custom chip architectures. Intel beat them all with bruteforce.
1990s: x86 competing against more advanced RISC architectures in workstations and servers. Intel beat them all with bruteforce.
2000s: x86 competing against more advanced HPC setups. Intel beat them all with bruteforce.
x86 is by no means an elegant architecture, but the sheer scale of Intel's operation allows them to build incredibly advanced chips, and at very competitive prices. Mostly because of Intel's advantages in manufacturing, with smaller feature sizes, and better integration between chip design and manufacturing…
But also because Intel can churn out new architectures faster than anyone.
ARM is now facing an opponent with advanced SIMD instructions and HyperThreading technology.
And although Atom is not an out-of-order architecture, Intel obviously has the technology.
It was a deliberate decision not to include it in the Atom line (the extra cost in die-size and power consumption was probably not worth the performance gains). At some point they will probably decide that the time is right to add OoO to the Atom line.
It will be interesting to see how ARM will pick up the competition. They aren't doomed yet, but as we've seen with AMD, it's incredibly difficult to keep up with Intel once they get going.
Albert Bertilsson
I was convinced that x86 was the inferior design when compared to the beautiful 68k. I laughed at the 286 trying to run a multitasking OS… A few years later there was the 386, the 486 and the Pentium, and everything else seemed slow… I think the few people I knew running macs where the last ones taunting Intel (was it Power that ruled the world?).
Then Apple started using Intel and all the others vanished… I don't see much difference when comparing that with today. There is very little "secret sauce" in this, a slightly more clever branch predictor, a bit more efficient power gating, mixed core types… Any of the large design companies can invest the research to do it with varying results.
Finally: True game changers are rare, if one appears it puts both camps at square one. And if Intel is truly interested they do have some cash.
The only thing speaking against Intel would be being fat and happy. That gave AMD an opportunity they took and continued to execute well on from time to time.
Its great to see an article not totally biased against intel in the SOC space for once…
ARM is scared, their CEO just blowing off intel with "they cant do it", and "wrenching" in things not meant for low power? has this guy ever design anything? (out of order execution wasnt a traditional low power design feature either and they wrenched it in there lol)
Intel finally coming back one year later driving down power significantly and this is all the guy has to say? they must be scared…
Obviously intel was catching up since they have always designed for performance, but intel has pioneered power gating and other power features in their client space for years (obviously all power numbers are relative to the space and just needed to scale into another design)
What people do not realize is Patterson is wrong saying that x86 is the problem, its a much more powerful ISA and the decoding logic only costs a tiny bit more over a direct risc, and in most cases the decode time of an x86 instructions is the SAME as ARM. (Everyone got that?)
Owning the whole ISA and CPU design gives intel the ability to add and modify instructions, embedd certain features such as security, and change the organizational hierarchy of SOC blocks better for performance.
Not to mention they have their own custom fabs and can better tweak the process…
Honestly ARM should be scared.
P.S – no fanboy blabber these are facts.
Joel Hruska
I'd be exceedingly careful of statements like this: in most cases the decode time of an x86 instructions is the SAME as ARM. (Everyone got that?)
The eggheads at RealWorldTech recently had a major discussion on precisely this point. Bottom line — comparing instructions isn't very possible. Even decode times aren't very comparable because the contents of an instruction can vary from uarch to uarch. P4 and Sandy Bridge both decode x86 instructions into microinstructions, for example, but the microinstructions themselves are not comparable — and that's within x86.
I'm leery of calling Patterson wrong — something about the fact that he helped *invent* RISC, and I'm a journalist ;) I think his statements are true, but focusing on them misses the larger picture. It's a given that the CPU is only one component that draws power within a smartphone. Now consider that the *difference* between x86 and ARM in terms of power draw is an even smaller part of the total. That's the overall point I'm driving at. Does it matter? Yes. But it's going to matter less with every passing year.
There is nothing to be careful about… I am not talking about eggheads at some RealWorldTech website, lets just say Im a RealWorld Engineer working in these areas….
Yous splitting hairs about the exact contents of the risc like decoded instructions. yes P4 and P6 are different microarctectures, P4 stopped being used when the first Core 1 line came out. No matter how you slice it CISC CPU's decode the cisc instructions to risc like ones to execute, has been this way since the end of like VAX vector super computers..
x86 is the ISA and seperate from the microarchitecture, you cannot compare internal micro architectural design details between projects that are like 10 years apart and expect them to be the same…
Its a qualitative not quantitative comparison of the effort to do this CISC-RISC conversion. Which is the only difference if your strictly comparing the ISA, not even discussing the added benefits of cisc such as code size and some perfomance instructions. Reltativly speaking this "ISA" conversion loss would have been a power issue many years ago but not with current technology. It can even be oberserved with performance checking and thermal imaging under workloads that comparitavly speaking they are no longer hot spots… In most instances the decode is the same as a RISC/ARM instruction but there is those special cases where x86 has added some performance or power related instruction.
Just because Paterson says something doesnt make it law i have seen him speak on simmilar topics at conferences. Its just his opinion ok and most real engineers would agree.
But The Point you are driving is NOT Valid. The power descrepancy in ANY intel product and ANY ARM product (yes i said ANY even core i7) has nothing to do with the ISA used, differences between RISC and CISC or whatever you want to call it…. The instruction set and the microarchitecture are two different things… Its simple from both companies inceptions intel went for high performance and ARM went for low power for embedded.. Intel spent years innovating for performance in speed and power (this isnt as obvious since this space had a higher power envelope to begin with be relativly speaking yes). Not really sure what ARM was doing for those decades (adding modest improvements till recently), and now intel has been optimizing architectures for low power and is already starting to have comparable power/performance.
Just so its clear im not trying to be a smartass but you cannot say the main difference in power between two modern CPUs is the instruction encoding used… you can cram two of the same tests into those CPUs and they might be a different language or run at different speeds, but you cannot blame your power consumed on this.. its a NON factor…
experimentally you guys can try and find density of the design and compare whats going on in the decoder and see if that isnt a rounding error… lol
Joel Hruska
Allow me to quote:
"So don't compare one ARM instruction to one x86 instruction.
They are very different. An ARM instruction is closer to
the old-style uops (and by "old-style" I mean the ones that
Intel used to produce that didn't have read-modify-write
versions: the uops in Core 2+ are rather closer to the
real x86 instructions).
The "uops per instructions" on x86 (again, older x86)tended to be in the 1.2-1.7 range on spec, according to somepapers (again, they are now much closer to 1:1, but that'sbecause the modern Core2+ uops are actually more powerfulthan ARM instructions are). "
If you'd like to argue the point, I suggest you hop over to http://realworldtech.com/forums/index.cfm?action=detail&id=125194&threadid=125178&roomid=2 and take it up with Linus Torvalds. I believe his bona fides as a "real world" engineer should pass muster. Having read that entire thread, I'll take his word for it. ;)
Reading articles and stating someone elses opinions does not mean you know what you are talking about…
uops are not the same as the Cisc instructions, i didnt realize intel published their decoding and UOP documents for public use? Some uops are just close to the x86 instruction in the sense that 1 cisc translates to one uop, instead of multiple instructions.
Most people have not designed a Microprocessor, have you? we are talking about the power with respect to CISC to RISC decoding.
The whole arguement is based on the fact that the ISA is the reason for the power gap. This is wrong since after decode the instructions executed are simple RISC type instructions… So the only point of interest would be the power consumed by the decoding logic Which is insignificant!!! Most power is consumed in scheduling, especially now that ARM has out of order execution in their microarch..
The Power gap which is small now can be observed as coming from muliple areas, not the x86 decode.
Joel Hruska
You seem to be attributing arguments to me that I'e never made. You say "
The whole arguement is based on the fact that the ISA is the reason for the power gap"
Except I'm not arguing the origin of the power consumption discrepancy. All I did was state that 1) The amount of die space devoted to the x86 decoder is small and getting smaller and 2) Even if RISC is more power efficient, the CPU is only one component of an entire smartphone.
Finally, 3) You can't compare x86 uops to ARM uops.
I'd be interested to know what parts of the CPU are responsible for the relative difference in power consumption between x86 and Cortex-A9, but I made no statements implying that I did.
Yeah that guy seems pretty smart and all, but he's being a real asshole.
Sorry it was Patersons quote who said architects believe the ISA is even an issue anymore for power consumption problems.
you cant compare the Uops, but you can compare the power consumed by the decoding of the CISC instruction. The only thing left to do is compare the average power consumed in similar platforms, one optimized for x86 and one for ARM, which is what is already being done.

Great article. You nailed it.

Added to the ARM problem is the difficulty of maintenance and development of software for so many different ARM architectures. In Intel Camp we will have x86 for lower end and x64. I really think ARM has made a mess here.
Joel Hruska
This is not an issue. Only two ARM architectures (ARMv7 and, eventually, ARMv8) are in use.
http://society50.com wmac
Then I did not properly understand the discussion in this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4381102/differences-between-arm-architectures-from-a-c-programmers-perspective
I thought I should recompile every time (to guarantee best binary compatibility).
Joel Hruska
In Android, code is written either in Java (runs using Dalvik) or the Android NDK. There's also an x86 flavor of the NDK.
The original NV Tegra used an ARM11 MPCore but aside from that it looks like everything is ARMv7-based. That means there shouldn't be much of an issue.
I'm assuming that ARMv8 is designed as a superset of ARMv7 and that the chip handles fallback to the other architecture gracefully, just like the x86-64 chips could run in either mode without a problem.

Joel, thank you very much for clarifying. I appreciate very much.

These power comparisons are misleading. Video is probably running on a HW accelerator. The power is still very high. Competitive video playback numbers for 720p are less than 700mW even in 45nm. At 28nm going to production by 2H 2012 it could be half of that. Browsing talk and standby are more related to how Intels modem team has architected it. Talk etc depends on PA and RF power.. Nothing to do with processor at all since modem is a seperate chip in this phone. Apples to apples comparisons have to be made in real CPU to CPU metrics.
May I add that the intel modem chips use ARM?
Joel Hruska
Intel hasn't publicly released any information on what specific IP blocks are in the SoC as far as video acceleration, so I can't comment on that. You are correct that video playback power use is significantly higher on Medfield than other parts.
It's standby, talk, and browser power consumption are all much more competitive.

He is dedsetmad
Yeah, I agree.
The article in a nutshell says that Intel will be a strong competitor because of it's process technology lead will overcome x86's architectural inefficiencies.
That may be, but let's also ask why Intel has such a process tech lead in the first place? It's because of it's virtual monopoly over PCs allow it to spend the billions in needs to develop modern fabs. Let's see if they can keep that up when they are selling chips for $20 for cellphones instead of $300 for PCs

:CPG short story: The Day Has Come "I don't care just board up the last window," Molly ordered Lizzy.:CPG short story: The Day Has Come by NerdINC12
Caution, Lord Madi, Ellie the Hypno, Smile Brooke, Lizzy, Username9, Nobody, and Password were all hiding out at Molly's for safety. They had the doors blocked and all the windows boarded up. Maybe they'll make it this year.
Why are they doing all of this though? Well, it's because today was April Fool's Day... Prankster Sam's favorite holiday. And this was the day her pranks were more brutal than normal. No one was safe.
"Being like this reminds me of a human's show about zombies... the Walking something." Lord Madi said under her breath, pretty much talking to herself.
"We're screwed, just like last year. Why can't they accept that?" Ellie the Hypno growled in annoyance at Lizzy.
Molly slowly walked over to where Username9, Nobody, and Password were and sat across from them. "So...he's your son?" Molly asked calmly.
"Yeah," Username9 answered, while Nobody held Password tighter.
Molly nodded slowly, before getti

Prankster Sam's home
10:15 am
Prankster Sam was sitting in front of a chest in her living room; with her hair out of her ponytail being a complete rat's nest, and her pajamas since she had only woken up a few minutes in advance. She was also holding her dark yellow cellphone to her ear with her shoulder.
"Yeah, I made the blueprints last night... but I lost the- oh! Never mind, found 'em. Yes, I know I'm lucky I found them..." Prankster Sam answered to the person on the phone, her voice sounded worn-out and grumpy. "Whoa! I know how important this is, okay!? Oh my- GO SUCK JEFF'S D-!!! SHIT DON'T YELL AT ME LIKE THAT!! I'm joking, so cal your big tits! I'll be there soon, I promise. See ya' later, Madi!"
Prankster Sam closed her phone, before setting down the blueprints and running upstairs. She made it to her bedroom, avoiding the rooms she used for her murders/pranks. The prankster put on her normal clothing and put her hair up in a ponytail, without bru

LM's P.O.V
'I can't believe that man!!! He has so much nerve to come back and want a hug and my love!?!?!'
I think this as I lay down on mine and Jeff's bed. As I lay there I hear the door creek open and hear foot steps. I didn't bother to look up,for I knew it was Jeff.
"Hey.." Jeff said as he lays next to me. He stares at me((Him And His Lack Of Eyelids XD))and plays with my hair."You okay?"
I look at him and nod."Yea,just really pissed. I say that as I cuddle into Jeff. We fell asleep like that all night. Well till midnight.*Blushes*
I was woken by Jeff and Herobrine yelling at each other. I get put on underwear,shorts,and one of Jeff's shirts.((Last night was a sexy night XD)) I walk downstairs and I look at whats going on.
3rd P.O.V
Jeff and Herobrine were yelling at each other as Molly and Slenderman were trying to stop the fighting.
Creepypasta Girls :Ch.28:Chapter 28: Smart Ass BitchCreepypasta Girls :Ch.28: by NerdINC12
The Creepypasta Girls were sitting in the, large average looking, living room trying to come up with a plan. Everyone was thinking as hard as the could, even Prankster Sam. Unfortunately, the silence in the room only caused some stress.
"Well I got nothing," Prankster Sam sighed in a less hyper/cheery tone.
Prankster Sam then reached over to the radio and turned in on. After turning it on she switched it to the stories channel, at this time Mr.Creepypasta would be on. So, Prankster Sam sat back in her comfortable position thinking she would soon hear Mr.Creepypasta tell another great story. But, no.
"Hell listeners. Sorry, no Mr.Creepypasta at the moment. I'm Nobody, and I have a message for the Creepypasta Girls. My team, the Anti-Pasta Girls, know what you are up to. How? Well the answer is simple my dear morons, video cameras. Oh, and before you go off on me about the rules, Molly, you do have to remember my boss is Lord Zalgo so I can bend the rules a bi

Back on December 7th, 2005 Google unveiled The Google Transit Trip Planner. The personal urban planning tool is essentially a transit mashup of Google Maps and the local transit authority in each city. At the time this tool was first introduced it was only available for Portland. Today this Google Maps based transit tool is, as promised, rolling out to more US cities. These cities include:
- Tampa, Florida (HART)
- Honolulu, Hawaii (TheBus)
- Eugene, Oregon (Lane Transit District)
- Portland, Oregon (TriMet)
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Port Authority)
- Seattle, Washington (King County Metro)
Google Transit Trip Planner enables you to enter the specifics of your trip - where you're starting, where you're ending up, what time of day you'd like to leave and/or arrive - then uses all available public transportation schedules and information to plot out the most efficient possible step-by-step itinerary. You can even compare the cost of your trip with the cost of driving the same route!
There is a great FAQ that will help you make further use of this tool as well. Perhaps this tool will one day become a part of the core Google Maps service (Maps, Directions, Businesses... Transit). Another natural progression for a service like this would be toward Google Maps for Mobile..
Other coverage and perspective on this can be found on Search Engine Journal, KOMOTV News, and the The Pittsburgh Channel.

By: Katie Eldred
(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Experts estimate nearly 32 million people will have access to health insurance as the affordable care act goes into place. That means there will millions more "new" patients for doctors to treat.
This will have a huge impact on health care providers. More patients means a need for more doctors.
One of the problem is there's already a physician shortage in some rural areas.
"You're going to have pockets of shortages, I think in Rochester we're fortunate we don't have a shortage, so we don't see as much of it in our area," said Dr. Mark Wilbur of OMC in Byron.
Dr. Wilbur says there are a lot of changes that are on the way with affordable care act. He says one will of course be more patients.
"It's going to be hard fill that gap quickly because training physicians takes a while, so we are going to have to increase the number of mid-levels that we have," said Dr. Wilbur.
Meaning many clinics may turn to the help of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who depending on their additional training can do many of the functions of a family doctor.
"The broad picture will be helping with the load of patients when we're busy, it's helpful to have people who need to see a physician see a physician and people that can see the mid-level see a mid-level," said Dr. Wilbur.
While no one knows the exact impact that having more people insured will have on the clinics. What they do know is they need to be ready.
"Obviously it's always changing in medicine, but in the last few years it's really increased and I think a lot of that is because of the affordable care act, so yea you got to be on your toes," said Dr. Wilbur.
Experts estimate the United States is already short more than 9,000 primary care doctors. That number is expected to rise to more than 60,000 by 2025.

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully March 30, 2007 at 5:36AM
"Welcome to Ayn Rand! That's why I say reading her books is like going to Mardi Gras... If you don't do it while you're in college, don't bother." -- Carol Tully
Well, it ain't June 1st, and while I haven't finished ATLAS SHRUGGED, I'm putting that fucker to bed once and for all. I decided that in this case, my life would be better served if I simply read a synopsis of the film and disregarded the other eight hundred pages of podium preaching.
Rather than feel guilty about this, I'm actually excited. It's as if a small, but momentous, change has occurred. The fact that I "gave up" on this book doesn't mean I'm weak or flighty or uncommitted or anything of the sort. All it means is that I'd rather read a good book than a bunk one.
Peace out, Objectivism. Hello... hmm, what shall I read... that's a toughie... oh, wait, I've got it...
One final note. Shame on all of you New Yorkers who didn't make it out for tonight's Ola Podrida performance. They've never sounded better. Picture them sounding as good as they possibly could and then double it. It kills me to know that I'll be missing the record release show on April 26th at Union Hall (I'll be up in Boston), and not because David asked me to be the very opening act (the world isn't ready for an EncoprEsis public appearance just yet, don't worry). It's because I want to see them play again, damn it!
One last final note (redundancy intended). Tonight (Friday March 30th) brings the first public ND/NF screening of GREAT WORLD OF SOUND. 8:30 at MOMA. Join me in watching the best and most innovative American film of 2007. Or stay home and watch "Walker, Texas Ranger." That's pretty cool too.

outerHTML() plugin for jQuery March 31, 2011 7 Comments
I've seen a lot of work-arounds for doing outerHTML() in jQuery. outerHTML() is not part of the spec and therefor is not supported across all browsers. Browsers like Firefox do not support outerHTML. Here is a cross-browser solution that you can use in a jQuery-style kind-of way.
The updated gist can be found here.
/* * Full example here: http://jsfiddle.net/jboesch26/3SKsL/1/ */ $.fn.outerHTML = function(){ // IE, Chrome & Safari will comply with the non-standard outerHTML, all others (FF) will have a fall-back for cloning return (!this.length) ? this : (this[0].outerHTML || ( function(el){ var div = document.createElement('div'); div.appendChild(el.cloneNode(true)); var contents = div.innerHTML; div = null; return contents; })(this[0])); }
Now call it like so, $('#myid').outerHTML();

Christopher Dibble • 33
Los Angeles
Christopher Dibble believes it's important to recognize the contributions made by LGBT people who came before him. A photographer with much editorial and commercial work to his credit, he's begun a series of still photos and short video documentaries called "Grow," focusing on people over 50.
"Everything they did allowed me to walk down the street and hold my husband's hand," says Dibble, who has so far photographed 15 people in Los Angeles and San Francisco and plans to add those from other cities. He envisions making the images available in a variety of venues—in galleries, on T-shirts, in a book, and in a documentary film. He hopes to get the number to at least 100, but hasn't set a limit.
"If I could photograph people in the elder community for the rest of my life, I would," he says.

Bitter grapefruit, fresh lemons and aldehydes open the fresh Eau d'Hadrien. The aldehydes add that usual sparkling quality – throwing the citrus off the skin in a bucket of freshness. Not too green, but full of rich citric juices, Eau d'Hadrien's bitter edge and the sourness of the lemons are classically presented in a tradition eau de cologne style – only it packs a little more punch.
The fragrance is relatively linear, with a lovely cypress – ever so slightly medicinal, green and "sappy". It pulls the astringent quality of the fleeting grapefruit into the heart so that the lemon doesn't sit on its own.
A little soapy – a little bit like bathroom cleaner (due to obvious associations), but charming and simplistic none the less.
Some patchouli joins in during the late drydown – not so rich and earthy as I'd hoped but instead clean and scrubbed, paired with the citrus notes it reminds me of the patchouli used in CB's Patchouli Empire – I didn't like that…
Within half an hour all the citrus has vanished, what is left is an ever-so-slightly musky, soapy patchouli, with a delicate metallic edge. It's a skin scent, and a slight off one at that.
What more is there to say – it's a nice-ish example of a cologne.
A cool, herbal breeze wafts up from Eau Du Sud. The subtly camphorous vapour of fresh-cut mint leaves, gives way to a beautiful note of basil and citrus. Sour lemon rind, with hints of green, paired with the menthol and basil gives of a wonderfully traditional vibe and the green herbals add an edge that's a little more interesting than Eau d'Hadrien.
All harsh edges smooth out very quickly, and Eau Du Sud becomes a little more "standard". Still, even though the mint burns off relatively quickly, it's cool effect is left on the skin – bringing to mind salty sea air.
The citrus also tames quickly as, what I think is, a smidge of oakmoss comes forward. The herbals also retreat relatively quickly – but thankfully pull the opening away from cleaning product territory and therefore it stays that way.
The drydown as with Eau d'Hadrien comes around quickly, with the citrus gradually vanishing along with the fresh herbal notes. A very quiet, sherbert-y floral becomes present, I mistook it for violet at first but it turns out jasmine is listed? I don't quite get that but hey. I know this is not what you're supposed to do, but on my second wearing of this, I rubbed the fragrance between my wrists hard about 20 minutes into the fragrance, and this sherberty-floral is far more present, it evaporates instantly but is the quick glimpse is the most interest part of Eau Du Sud – it's a shame they didn't amplify this hidden sour/fizzy/floral quality.
This EDT doesn't last too long, but it is nice enough whilst it lasts – the most interesting of the two fragrances :)

- Chapman Shuts Out Bearcats
Baseball | Friday, February 25, 2011
Chapman, Ranked #11, Shuts Out Bearcats, 6-0 in California
Panthers Score Five Runs in Second Inning
ORANGE, CALIF. -- Chapman University, ranked #11 in the NCBWA/D3baseball.com Preseason Top 25, scored five runs on four hits and one error in the second inning and plated one run in the third, as the Panthers defeated Willamette University, 6-0, on Friday, Feb. 25 at Hart Park. Chapman upped its record to 5-4, while Willamette dropped to 3-2.
The Bearcats held the Chapman offense mostly in check with the exception of the second inning. Chapman took advantage of three singles and a double during the stanza, plus an error, two hit batsmen and a walk. The five-run inning was all Chapman starter Travis McGee needed to support his seven innings on the mound.
McGee struck out eight batters and walked two, while moving to 2-2 on the season. He was relieved by Richard Matamoros, who struck out three batters over the final two innings.
The big inning for Chapman began with a single by catcher Adam Kordich. Charlie Piro also singled, placing runners at the corners with no outs. Kordich scored when Max Burnett reached on an error. Tyler Surnbrock followed with a double down the left field line to score Piro and advance Kordich to third.
Mark Saatzer drove in the next two runs with a single up the middle. Saatzer later scored the fifth run when Kordich was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
Chapman added its final run in the bottom of the third. Burnett doubled to left field to start the inning. He advanced to third on a fly out by Surnbrock and scored on a single by Saatzer.
In their other six at bats, excluding the second and third innings, the Panthers managed just three hits and walked once. McGee and Matamoros limited Willamette to just three hits during the game -- one single each by Doug Bloom (Sr., SS, Salem, OR/South Salem HS), Mitchell Rowan (Jr., RF/DH, Cotati, CA/Rancho Cotate HS) and Tommy Kawamura (Fr., 2B, Renton, WA/Lindbergh HS).
Willamette's best chance to score occurred in the fourth inning, when Rowan singled to center field with one out.
Rowan moved to second base when the ball was misplayed in center field. He went to third on a fly ball by T.C. Lee (Sr., LF, Lafayette, CA/Acalanes HS). The inning ended when McGee got Sky Kelley (So., DH/RF, Portland, OR/Jesuit HS) to pop out to shortstop.
Saatzer and Tyler Hadzinsky of Chapman were the only players with more than one hit during the game. Hadzinsky finished 2 for 3, while Saatzer went 2 for 4 with a run and three RBIs.
WU's starting pitcher, Devin Grindy (Sr., RHP, Washougal, WA/Camas HS), fell to 0-2 with the loss. He went five innings and allowed seven hits and six runs (four earned). He had one strikeout and one walk.
Ryan Smith (So., RHP, Milwaukie, OR/Rex Putnam HS/Univ. of Redlands) provided the Bearcats with two innings of scoreless relief. He gave up just two hits. Kyle Kirwan (So., RHP/1B, Hillsboro, OR/Glencoe HS) threw one inning for WU. He issued one walk, but allowed no runs and no hits.
Willamette is scheduled to play two games on Saturday, Feb. 26. The Bearcats are slated to take on Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at 10 a.m. (PST), before battling Pomona-Pitzer at 2 p.m. Both games will be played in Claremont, Calif.
The Bearcats are set to close out the four-game trip with a game at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 27. First pitch is slated for 11 a.m. (PST).

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000.
Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her.
She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.
"I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days. I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention," she told the private Somoy TV from her hospital bed as doctors and nurses milled about, giving her saline and checking her condition.

The long-range objectives of our research are to understand the mechanism of meiotic recombination and to determine how this process is coordinated with other events of meiotic prophase. We focus much of our attention on Spo11 (the protein that makes the DNA double-stand breaks that initiate recombination), the proteins that interact with Spo11, and the interactions of these proteins with meiotic chromosomes. We are also examining the mechanisms that regulate the timing, number, and location of double-stand break (DSB) formation and the mechanisms that control the distribution of crossovers.

A San Francisco food producer wants to make you an omelet without breaking any eggs – and they may be able to do it with one key ingredient they make in a lab – no chicken required.
From their Mission District laboratory, Hampton Creek Foods and CEO Josh Tetrick are taking aim at the egg farming industry.
"We just cannot go on eating like we all are right now with our food system," Tetrick said. "It's just unsustainable."
Yep. Nothing beats natural ingredients. People forget that its the moderation and diversity of food that one consumes that makes a difference and prevents health issues.

Color View of Eros' Saddle
Date: 2 Apr 2000
Color imaging of Eros from the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft has shown the asteroid's color variations are very subdued when compared to those of other planetary bodies, such as Mars.
One location on Eros with distinctive color is the eastern side of the 'saddle.' This color composite image of that region was taken April 2, 2000, from an orbital altitude of 201 kilometers (125 miles). In this false color representation, the red and green image planes were taken in different wavelengths of infrared light, and the blue image plane was taken in blue light. NEAR scientists interpret the bright and greenish-gray appearing regions near the rim of the saddle to represent relatively fresh exposures of subsurface soil. In contrast, the pinkish looking soil covering other areas is thought to have been modified by exposure to small impacts and the solar wind.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2003 Nov. 4 kicks off the application period for the children of active duty, retired and Guard and Reserve members to apply for $1,500 academic scholarships. The application window for the 2004 Scholarships for Military Children program extends through Feb. 18.
Now in its fourth year, the program, operated by the Defense Commissary Agency, has awarded nearly $2.5 million in scholarships to some 1,500 children of U.S. service members and retirees.
The goal, according to Kay Kennedy, chief of corporate communications for the Defense Commissary Agency, is to award at least one scholarship at every commissary location, depending on the number of qualified applicants and funding.
Funding comes from manufacturers and suppliers whose products are sold at military commissaries, Kennedy explained. In addition, the Fisher House Foundation is underwriting the program's administrative costs.
The general public can also contribute to the program through the Fisher House Foundation and the Armed Forces Foundation.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael Wiedemer, director of the Defense Commissary Agency, said he is excited about the program's growth. Last year, 550 scholarship recipients were selected from 6,500 applicants.
Among them was Matthew Clark, a junior at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., when he learned last year that he had been selected to receive what he described as a much-needed scholarship.
Clark wrote to officials at the Defense Commissary Agency that he always sensed that his father, a disabled Vietnam Veteran, had felt extreme frustration about not being able to work and provide for his family.
"I see this scholarship as an act of appreciation for what he did for our country," Clark wrote. "When I found out that I had won the award, I wrote him a letter of thanks. I told him that without his sacrifice, I would not have even had the opportunity to apply."
For more information about the scholarship program and application procedures, visit the program's Web site.

Shares of LED equipment maker Veeco Instruments are trading lower Monday after Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee cut his rating on the stock to Sell from Neutral. He set a price target on the stock of $27; the stock closed last wek at $34.96.
Lee notes that the stock through Friday was up 68% year to date, due to expectations of a "meaningful recovery" in tool volumes. But he says checks suggest "incremental downside" to LED capacity expansion in China and Korea will drive a "flattish" tool outlook for 2013. But he thinks Veeco's shares are discounting 30%-35% bookings growth.
For 2012, Veeco cuts his EPS for 2012 to $1.50 from $1.55; for 2013, he now sees $1.65 a share, down from $2; for 2014, he goes to $2.10, from $2.80.
VECO is down $3,32, or 9.5%, to $31.64.

I run a small computer repair shop, and we first started seeing this ATAPI.SYS virus a few weeks ago. When I would submit it to VirusTotal, it would always come back as clean on every single virus scanning engine - but I could tell it was infected. I even had a computer in here just yesterday which had the infected ATAPI.SYS file, yet it was not detected as such - even when the hard drive was mounted as a secondary drive in another system and scanned with several up-to-date antivirus programs.
The virus itself is actually quite a clever little beast. After infecting the file, it sets the file modification time back to the original date & time, which makes it hard to tell that it's been modified. Also, I've noticed that the byte counts between infected and non-infected versions of the file are almost always identical. But to do that, it appears to be injecting its code into the area normally used to store the file version information. The upshot is, if you check the file properties and there's no file version information (the Version tab under XP or the Details tab under Vista/Win7), there's a good chance the file is infected.
I have not had any computers come in to the shop with the BSOD mentioned in the articles yet, but I'm expecting them at any time...

I have to agree with Trend Micro on this one. Completely skipping specific files in specific directories may prevent performance issues, but it may also make it easier for malware authors to find new hiding places.

Last week, a pretty hilarious email was sent out by CBS asking their attendees to keep those bods in check. Not just because of the politically correct verbiage, but more so the notion that these stars would actually follow them. It was surprising then to watch the carpet last night and see most of the musicians appeasing the telecast's more constrained guidelines. Well, most of them anyway.
However there were a few that made the awards show's Most Wanted offenders by the end of the night. We dissected the Grammy outfits of the evening, paired in contrast with that now popular memo, to expose them. Though that wasn't too hard…they did most of the exposing themselves.
No "exposing bare flesh" – Jennifer Lopez joked that she got the memo, saying no one said anything about leg in a pretty J.LOL moment. However to CBS' credit we do have to point out they did try to cover every base with this blanket statement of a guideline and she and her right leg explicitly violated it.
No "sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples" and "be sure the genital region is adequately covered" – Kelly Rowland definitely dared to push the envelope last night in risque black attire with cutouts throughout that run right against those "female breast nipples" down to her nether regions. Clearly she had a more open definition about what "adequately covered" entailed.
No "under curvature of the breasts" – While Rihanna barely pushed the boundaries in a stunning red semi-sheer gown on the red carpet, her costume change for one of her sets last night broke this one. During her reggaeton tribute to Sting and the Marleys with Bruno Mars, she rocked some underboob in a two-piece vintage Luciano Soprani crop top and pants ensemble with a little peek-a-boo in between.
No "bare sides…of the breasts" – Katy Perry and Ashanti appeared to find loop holes in this rule by squeezing their way through a couple keyhole necklines that didn't technically show off any forbidden sideboob, but a lot of cleavage that's still technically considered a "bare side."

Specifically, he promised it will be easy to turn off the 3D functionality on the new system, allowing people to play games in 2D mode. The reason for the 2D/3D toggle option is reportedly due to concerns over the health effects of viewing 3D content for extended periods, as this has been known to cause nausea, headaches, or dizziness on some people. It's unclear if developers will be tasked with optimizing their games for both modes or if the hardware will somehow be able to handle the transitions between 2D and 3D.
Iwata also mentioned that Nintendo will add new "anti-piracy measures" to limit game theft. He wouldn't discuss the details to avoid giving "hints" to hackers, but said they're concerned that people are becoming more tolerant of piracy.

Coke used to basically give away Coke products for free to Disneyland just to have the honor of showcasing their product in the park. If I'm not mistaken, the Dole whip area inside of the Tiki Room outside queue area still runs a decades old video about pineapple production in Hawaii, though it has been updated a bit. It is a better advertising deal for Dole than what other sponsors get, i.e. a video monitor with a looped company informercial, and of course the whole video monitor thing doesn't work as well in Adventureland as it would in Tomorrowland. Maybe somebody at Disney decided that they wanted to change the deal?
On a related topic, the line for the Dole Whips is often very long. I think that in the future a refurb should be done to increase the serving capacity of the Dole Whip station, or perhaps move it to the Oasis, where a big station with more servers could be setup. With the Jungle Cruise movie coming out, I hope they change the Oasis into a counter service restaurant with a theme that ties in with the film.
