SILICON POWER microSDHC Class10 cards with Smart Power

October 1st, 2010, Taipei, Taiwan -- Responding to the global trend toward smartphones, Silicon Power, the world's leading manufacturer in flash memory, today (Oct. 1) releases its whole series of microSDHC Class10 memory cards.

Combining with the excellent function of high-end consumer electronics, it will boot up a new lightning era of mobile digital life for everyone.
While smartphone gradually becomes an integrated center of mobile communication, social networking, commerce, and learning, consumers demand not only the functionality of basic specs and apps, but also the quality of digital contents such as photos, videos, music, and other files. Yet, only when combined with data storage with more speedy and durable performance does high-end smartphone reveal its superb functions. Thus, Silicon Power grabs this opportunity and launches the microSDHC Class10 memory cards, enabling consumers to fully experience the merit of smartphones.

Users owning microSDHC Class10 won't have to bear the anxiety of waiting for never-ending copying process of super-large files. Neither will they bother to give up the quantity and resolution of photo images due to the limit of capacities.

The latter ones can be used among different mobile digital devices, such as smartphones, cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players, e-book readers, etc. The additional content increases memory card's mobility, letting consumers enjoy the convenience of transferring and processing the same data on many platforms.

Cisco, the networking king and economic bellwether, cleared better-than-expected earnings of $2.09 billion, or 39 cents a share, up 10.6% year-over-year, in its first fiscal quarter, which closed at the end of October. Revenues were up 5.5% to $11.9 billion despite depressed demand in key markets like Europe, down 10%, and long-term threats from widgetry like software-defined networking.
CEO John Chambers called the economy "challenging."
Cisco's core switching and routing sales, representing 47% of revenue, both declined 2% year-over-year, to $3.6 billion and $2.1 billion respectively.
Switching was hit by slowing in the public sector and developed countries. The routing segment was hurt by weakness in service providers, especially in EMEA, although Cisco did see double-digit growth in edge routing.
Europe was down 10% and government sales down 6%.
Still Cisco beat estimates of 46 cents on $11.8 billion but expects flat earnings and slower revenue growth this quarter. Cisco figures Europe will get worse before it gets better but is seeing an improvement in the US.
Cisco managed to meet reduced expectations by cutting costs, eliminating jobs, shutting lines of business and cutting prices to ward off competitors like Arista and HP. It realized a gross margin of 62.7% of revenue.
Service provider video rose 30% to $1.1 billion. Collaboration technologies fell 8% to $1 billion. Wireless product sales rose 38%. Data center sales rose 61%, security technology sales rose 6%. All other goods were down 12%.
Enterprise sales were down 1%, sales to the public sector were off 6%. Commercial sales, including consumer goods, rose 1%, and sales to service providers rose 3%.
CEO John Chambers said the US, where Cisco was able to close more big deals in the quarter, will have to pull the world out of its stupor. Asia, up 7%, and the developing world can't do it. US GDP growth needs to get above 2% because otherwise "there will be no job growth in the US." And that depends on Washington working together.
If the White House doesn't relent on revenue repatriation, Chambers said Cisco would spend its massive cash horde overseas.
Cisco expects to return earnings per share, excluding items, of 47 cents-48 cents, excluding one-time charges, in its fiscal second quarter, which runs until the end of January, on revenue growth of 3.5%-5.5%, compared to 11.5% a year ago. The Street figures revenues will be up 4.5% to $12.04 billion.
A strange thing is happening along the way to the Internet of Things, namely far too many devices to work with and manage. It has become clear that we'll need much higher efficiency user experiences that can allow us to more easily and scalably work with the thousands of devices that will soon be in each of our lives.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization).

The other chapters can't keep pace with this frantic opening but it is a batman's biography of one of China's most important leaders. The author was his doctor for most of his later years and gives an account not just of the politics of Mao but of every aspect of his life.
The author's role was to keep Mao alive and to fend of disease. This was not easy. Mao for instance refused to clean his teeth. As a result his teeth were covered in a sort of green coating.Read more ›
The book presents a picture of Chairman Mao Zedung and of China very different than one would remember from living through the era. Perhaps most interesting (did our government intelligence services have any idea of this?) is the degree to which Mao seemed to admire the United States, while all the time doing everything he could to antagonize it. But this was typical of the man Dr. Li paints, a man full of contradictions.
One episode in the book (I won't spoil it) that is absolutely fascinating is Mao's reaction to three requests Krushchev made of Mao in 1958. Mao's reaction to Krushchev (defiance and rudeness) even so early on was not something I think we knew much about, and is interesting, indeed.
The book really tantalized me with one big unanswered question. Li portrays Mao as a virtual recluse, lolling around his various bedrooms, never having an office or any kind of work schedule. He seems to have successfully avoided any responsibility for government activity, and in fact spent most of his time in power back stabbing those he put into positions of government.
But Dr. Li leaves half the story untold: how did Mao manage to stay in power while being so reclusive? Dr. Li does not speculate about what Mao did when he wasn't with him, so he does not even address this question.Read more ›

On August 18 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) opened its newly revamped M's Square showroom located on the second floor of the Shinagawa Head Office Building in Tokyo. The showroom layout has been reorganized into separate areas each introducing the technologies and products of one of its four business domains, following the company's shift to the new domain-based structure this April. A number of new features have also been added, including a spectacular 180-inch multi-display and a "News Archive" where visitors can freely browse news topics relating to the MHI Group.
Detailed explanations of MHI's technologies and products are provided in the "Technology Gallery." Here, displays of actual products, models, video presentations, etc. have been newly divided into four zones each focused on a specific business domain: "Energy & Environment," "Commercial Aviation & Transportation Systems," "Integrated Defense Systems & Space Systems" and "Machinery, Equipment & Infrastructure." The new display scheme was adopted to enhance ease of understanding of the MHI Group's business developments from the perspectives of the customer, core technologies, etc.
The newly introduced "M's Vision" system is a 180-inch display configured from nine 60-inch screens.
The system is used to present the company's products and business domains with vivid reality and spectacular presence.
The new "News Archive" offers visitors free access to MHI news items announced since April 2014, available for viewing on a curved screen in the center of the display space. In addition, the screen is also used to introduce presentations of topics of special interest.
A special exhibition is currently being held within the showroom showcasing the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), the company's next-generation passenger jet. A new video presentation provides a wealth of information relating to the new aircraft, including fuselage strength testing and assembly of the test flight unit.
MHI created M's Square to serve as an important "bridge" connecting the MHI Group with its highly diversified stakeholders. Following the showroom's latest revamping, efforts will continue to be made to achieve enhanced communication with visitors.
Location: 2-16-5, Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-8215, Japan (2nd floor, Shinagawa Head Office Building)

They're off and racing
On course betting up this yearCOLLETTE DEVLIN AND JAMIE SEARLE
Relevant offers
@devlincolle @searlejamie An increase in betting turnovers and 7000 people on course made today's Christmas races at Ascot Park a success, Southland Racing Club president Sean Bellew said tonight.
Punters on course wagered $221,380 (nine races), compared with $213,636 (10 races) last year.
Off course betting totalled $685,716, which was up on last year's $634,715.
Rain mid-afternoon forced outside racegoers to seek shelter, some ending up in the south bar.
The bar quickly became crowded and as people squeezed in, tensions rose slightly among some patrons.
The bar was closed after race six.
''Too much alcohol and testosterone can be a lethal mix,'' Mr Bellew said.
During the day two people were arrested, he added.
''I'm very happy with the day. I think the systems we have in place are great . . . . it's been a success.''
Six of the nine winners are trained at Ascot Park, while Our Bee Jay, part-owned by former Stags rugby coach Simon Culhane, won the feature race, the Coupland's Bakeries Crystal.
Ascot Park trainer Sally McKay produced three winners - Gallivant, Arn't I Choice and Billy Bingo.
Invercargill businessman Louis Crimp owns Gallivant and Billy Bingo.
Christmas racegoers didn't let the prediction of afternoon rain put them off, as they arrived to Ascot Park in their droves.
Organisers believe 8000 people will turn up now the sun is shining.
Stacey O'Neill was enjoying the sunshine in her new peach dress and had hoped the rain would stay for as long as possible.
Jess Thurlow, who attended the Christmas races every year, said: ''I just love the races. It's so much fun getting dressed up and having a good day out with the girls.''
Lee Elder said the races were a fantastic day out for all of Invercargill.
The heat earlier in the day may have inspired some of the shorter dresses on display, which left a few ladies red faced when the wind picked up - playing havoc with floaty dresses and hairdos.
Fashion in the field organisers were impressed by the calibre of entries and the huge crowd that gathered to watch and cheer on the competitors.
Southland Racing Club Ascot Ladies organiser Anne McFarlane said the judges had a hard task because of the wonderful array of outfits.
''Last year was wonderful but this year everyone has surpassed it. I am pleased to see so many people made such an effort, it's credit to Southland,'' she said.
This year, the ladies wore a mixture of designer and high street dresses, in shades of red, pink and orange, teamed with matching fascinators, bags and shoes. Floral was once gaining a popular option for many.
Sharon Hamilton was named best dressed lady.
She wore an orange and black frock from H&J Smith, with matching shoes and two fascinators.
She shortened the original long dress and used the extra material to make her shoes because she could not find orange shoes to match.
Ms Hamilton was hosting an function at the races. Her guests included runner up for best dressed lady Sheryl Millar and her partner Brian Scully, who was named best dressed male.
Mr Scully wore shiny purple shoes he had bought in a shoe shop in Dee St that morning, with a matching purple tie and a white hat.

Blogs HNN ON THE ORIGINS OF CHAVISMOOct 13, 2006 11:48 am
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez is frequently dismissed as a crackpot but Clay Risen in The New Republic makes a good case arguing that the US should cease to do so and instead start taking notice of Chavez's ruinous and corrosive ways which Chavez himself dubs Chavismo. Record oil prices have yielded Venezuela, a major producer, the capacity to dispose of enormous funds for interventionist purposes in the affairs of its neighbors. While this may occasionally backfire, it cannot be dismissed simply as self-defeating for it has major consequences. One example: Chavez's important support for the electoral triumph and subsequent expropriatory policies in Bolivia of his ally Evo Morales (where cocaine production has also since enjoyed a massive boost ).
Risen deals chiefly with Chavez's role as international anti-American agitator and nationalist-style economic protectionist, but there is a perturbing background to Chavez that places his anti-globalization, anti-American and anti-Jewish rhetoric in context . Consider the following:
• One of Chavez's closest mentors was the deceased Norberto Ceresole , an Argentinean right-wing nationalist and advocate of a post-democratic Latin America, as well as being a Holocaust denier and conspiracy theorist preoccupied with alleged Jewish plans to control the planet – an influence that can be seen at work in Chavez's own anti-Semitic outburst.
• Unsurprisingly, anti-Semitic propaganda is now appearing in a country once largely free of it.

Do ringtones still matter? Are they vanishing? Do iPhones even ring?
The other day I mistook the ringing of someone else's phone for my own while I was getting lunch, and it started me thinking about them. I used to have sort of knee-jerk view about them, and the idiocy of paying money to have a distinctive, attention-grabbing tone for one's cell phone. (I almost never have the ringer on, and I find it almost pathologically embarrassing when I forget and it rings in public; it makes me feel as though my zipper is open or something.) But the ringtone phenomenon is probably indicative of something other than hypostatizing vanity. They are an emblem of the way we can be singled out as individuals in public places, the way we are almost compelled to carry around our individual identity with us as we traverse the public sphere. If we are going to be accessible at all times, and that seems increasingly to be the default, then it follows that one should have a unique-seeming tone by which to be hailed. The wireless technology that makes us more or less permanently available prompts the end of shared public space, making it field of contested, vying privacies. It seems like that trend will become more pronounced with "augmented reality" applications that allow you to filter the space you are in through a portable device that tags everything around you according to your inclinations. The same space will be experienced privately by each individual passing through it. The ringtone is one of the first ramification of that shift.

We're first timers planning to visit Europe in June 2014 for two weeks (14 nights, not counting flight time). We'd like to split the time between Italy & Germany, but can't decide whether to try a home base in each country for a week, or to come up with a more linear approach, moving to the next region every 2-3 days.
We've done an east coast (USA) trip before, touring Baltimore, New York, Cape Cod, Boston, Philly in less time than that, and enjoyed it, but of course those are closer together.
A few notes to mention --
*we wish to travel exclusively by train
*budget is $10,000 USD for three (husband, daughter & me), including airfare from east coast USA
We're interested in not just hitting up the "big" towns, but more in a taste of the true culture. Areas of interest include Rome, Venice & Cinque Terre in Italy, while in Germany we're more inclined to visit smaller, less frequented villages and towns.
Thoughts? Is this a doable approach, or will we end our trip purely exhausted, having seen relatively little?

Best Rec for Two Weeks in Italy & Germany

Just a quick first comment - How old is your daughter? Reason I ask is there is a BIG difference budget-wise between a 7 yo and an adult. But airfares alone will be over $3000 leaving around $6500 for 2 weeks for 3 people, so not all that easy. That is about $150/€110 pp per day.
So are we talking about a 7 yo or a 20 yo or ???

Sorry, meant to put that. This will be her high school graduation trip; she will be 18.

I think you can meet your budget with some thoughtful planning.
A basic triple with a/c for a triple in Venice will likely fetch a minimum of $600-$700, probably more. You may get breakfast with that. In smaller towns in Germany, an apartment for 3 nights will probably come in at around $250 or less. Our family of 4 enjoyed the 2-BR Rhine View apartment in St. Goar, which goes for about 50€/night + 10% for short-stay (in Germany, usually defined as less than 4-5 nights.) You'll likely spend twice as much or more on everything in your Italian destinations as you will in Germany, so the more time in the latter, the better for your budget.
" ...but can't decide whether to try a home base in each country for a week, or..."
Your idea of using a base town (or two) for daytrips is sound and pretty economical in Germany. Individual states offer daypasses for travel on the local and regional trains - like the Rheinland-Pfalz ticket, 30€/day for three:
Interstate daypasses on weekends run 42€/day for three:
If you happen to include the Black Forest on your itinerary, daytrips might be completely free - there's a promotion called "KOUS" offered by an association of 138 Black Forest villages. Love those double-decker sightseeing trains:
I could see two base towns in Germany for 4-5 nights each + 1 destination in Italy for 5 nights (the length of a typical stay in Rome.)
I'd look into airfares into Frankfurt or Munich, then flying out of Italy ("open-jaw" flights.) And check into Ryanair flights for in between - these can be had for about 50€ or less each between Germany and Italian destinations (expect some additional ground transport expenses as the Ryanair airports tend to be less conveniently located.)

I neglected to give you a link to the Rhine View apt. (just for an idea of the price/value ratio in Germany.) Here it is:

There is a big difference between moving every couple of days in the US and in europe. You will be in 2 different cultures have to deal with 2 different languages and in each city or town have to learn where everything is and how things (like local transit) work.
If you try to do 6 or 7 different place I think you will end up spending a LOT of money for a very frustrating experience - with a large percentage of your time just getting places rather than actually seeing anything or experiencing the culture.
IMHO in 2 full weeks you should stay in no more than 3 or 4 hotels/towns - so you actually get at least a taste of the culture n each place.
Also - agree your budget is on the modest side for 3 adults for that amount of time - you will need to watch your pennies - given the fact that airfare will probably take the best part of $4K.
Report Abuse
Completely agree with everything nytraveler wrote.
We have spent a good deal of time in both Germany and Austria and are returning to both this year, in two separate trips.
In a two week trip, we stay in 3-4 base locations to minimize the moving between cities/hotels and to maximize our time spent enjoying the areas we are focused on. In Germany especially, the train system is very efficient and there are many great day trips from the main hubs.
Not only is moving so much time consuming but it is also more expensive, as you have increased travel costs of getting from place to place.
CT, Venice and Rome will be very busy in June and rates will be high. IMO and IME, Venice and the CT show little of the true culture of Italy, as that can be found more in the smaller towns not completely overrun with tourists and day trippers from cruise ships.
Report Abuse
I think, with the time and budget you have, you might think about visiting either Germany or Italy. Since it is a graduation gift to your daughter, let her decide. I diagree that "Venice and CT show little of the true culture of Italy". Italy has many cultures and they are but two of the many.
June will not be as crowded as July and August in Italy but you should make decisions and reservations as soon as you can to assure economical accommodations. For two weeks, choose 3 or 4 stops. Enjoy whatever you decide.

I think your budget is good. If you want to do Cinque Terre you need to stay there for a couple of nights if you hike. We stayed in La Spezia. We rented huge lovely apartment in Florence for 1200 euros for the week. You can do the same in Germany. Eat breakfast in and a couple of other meals. Day trips from Florence are possible. Doing Venice and Rome might be hard. There are a lot of nice day trips from Florence. My friends did the train to Venice. It was a long day but they squeezed it in. Fly into Rome, do a hoho bus and take the train to La Spezia via Pisa. Have to change trains there. I would stay in Florence, do day trips and then take the train to Garmisch Partenkichen, stay there for the week and fly out of Munich. Great day trips from there and they have a fab bus system. The train ride will be beautiful getting there from Florence.

< I diagree that "Venice and CT show little of the true culture of Italy". Italy has many cultures and they are but two of the many. >
IMO, it is more difficult to experience the local vibe and culture when the preponderance of people there are visitors and not residents. IME, both are overrun.
Report Abuse
Wow, lots of food for thought here!
The budget can be expanded if necessary. We started out thinking of that budget with 10 days, and then extended the time frame given the two countries we wished to visit.
We have options to limit our lodging costs significantly, as we're a military family, but we'd really prefer the location, convenience & ambiance of local lodging as opposed to staying on base. And of course, we'd have to re-think the car rental as well were we to do that. I think it's just better this way, but again, still deciding.
You've all given me lots of food for thought. Thank you so much for the detailed responses!

And now we're back to the drawing board! When pressed, DD admitted that what she'd really like to do is visit England & Germany. Does that seem any more feasible, perhaps having a home base in each country for a week? I realize that won't give us an comprehensive overview of each country, but we enjoy slow traveling & would prefer to relax & enjoy ourselves than tick off boxes that might fall on someone else's to-do list.
Report Abuse
Well - you can't "see' England (or Germany) in one week - or one year for that matter.
The easy solution is to rent a flat in London for one week and then maybe two shorter stops at a couple of places in Germany. But that isn't "England" . . . It is London.
So what is it your DD is interested in? We can help you narrow things down if you have some sore of wish list. London has enough to keep you busy for any length of time - from Castles to palaces to cathedrals to world famous museums/galleries to theatre to the arts to fashion/shopping -- you name it. But if she is more interested in the countryside - there are a hundred other places you could go instead.
So tell us more and we can help.
Same w/ Germany - the alps, or the Rhine or Munich or Berlin or ????

Does your 14 days include travel to and from Europe or 14 days actually in Europe (not to/from)?

Economy in U.S. Shrinks for Third Time Since Expansion Began
For the third time since the expansion began in June 2009, the U.S. economy suffered a setback.
Gross domestic product shrank at a 0.7 percent annualized rate in the first quarter, revised from a previously reported 0.2 percent gain, according to Commerce Department figures issued Friday in Washington. That's the weakest reading since frigid winter temperatures derailed growth at the start of 2014.
While bad weather once again probably contributed to last quarter's slump, other impediments were also at work -- including a swelling trade deficit caused by a strong dollar and plunging investment in oil exploration following the drop in fuel prices. Federal Reserve officials are among those who believe the slowdown will be temporary, helping explain why they are considering raising interest rates later this year.
"The economy slowed in the first quarter but we'll see an acceleration in the second quarter," said Michael Gapen, New York-based chief U.S. economist for Barclays Plc. "It keeps the Fed in line for a rate hike in September."
Other reports Friday showed consumer sentiment fell less than previously estimated this month, while manufacturing in the Chicago region unexpectedly slumped.
Stocks fell, with equities paring their best monthly gains since February. The Standard & Poor's 500 declined 0.6 percent to 2,107.39 at the close in New York.
Survey Results
The median forecast of 84 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected GDP would drop at a 0.9 percent rate. Estimates ranged from a decline of 1.2 percent to an increase of 0.2 percent. The economy grew at a 2.2 percent pace from October through December.
Last quarter's contraction was smaller than the 2.1 percent fall at the start of 2014, when a prolonged patch of bitterly cold temperatures held back the economy. GDP also shrank at a 1.5 percent pace in the first three months of 2011 during the early stages of the recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Such declines in GDP are rare in economic expansions, pointing to the fragile nature of the current rebound. The economy hasn't contracted in three different quarters during good times since the 1950s.
The tendency of the first quarter to be persistently weak in recent years has sparked a debate in the economic profession, with the Fed and its regional banks, including San Francisco, jumping into the fray.
GDP Controversy
The various research results indicate first-quarter growth has underperformed the rest of the year by about 1.6 percentage points to 1.7 percentage points on average. To some, that suggests there is a statistical bias at work. The Bureau of Economic Analysis this month said it'll make changes to try to minimize the issue, and take this into account when reporting annual benchmark revisions in July.
The contrast to gains in earnings is only adding fuel to the controversy. Gross domestic income, which shows the money earned by the people, businesses and government agencies whose purchases go into calculating growth, expanded at a 1.4 percent annualized rate in the first quarter, Friday's report showed.
GDI is seen by some researchers, including a few at the Fed, as a better gauge of the strength of the economy. While income and GDP should theoretically match, the different methods used in calculating the numbers cause them to diverge occasionally.
"The increase in GDI is pretty consistent with an economy that's better than the GDP side," said Aneta Markowska, New York-based chief U.S. economist at Societe Generale, who correctly projected the first-quarter contraction in GDP. "We expect to see a pretty significant bounce-back in the second quarter."
As part of the benchmark revisions in July, the BEA will issue an additional growth measure taking the average of GDP and GDI.
The revisions to first-quarter GDP issued Friday showed the trade gap widened more than previously estimated, while inventories and consumer spending climbed at a slower pace. That was partly offset by a bigger gain in home building.
While poor weather and merchandise delays due to a labor dispute at West Coast ports were temporary restraints, the damage caused by the plunge in fuel prices and stronger dollar may be longer-lasting.
Trade Gap
A widening trade deficit subtracted 1.9 percentage points from growth, the most since 1985, compared with the previously estimated drag of 1.25 points, according to the Commerce Department's data.
Business investment on wells and mines slumped at a 48.6 percent annualized rate last quarter, the biggest decrease since 2009.
A regional reading on manufacturing Friday raises concern that those headwinds remain. The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc.'s business barometer fell to 46.2 in May from 52.3 the prior month. Readings lower than 50 indicate contraction.
The Commerce Department's report showed consumer spending was also a little slower than initially calculated, growing at a 1.8 percent annualized rate compared with an initial estimate of 1.9 percent. That followed a 4.4 percent jump in the fourth quarter.
Revisions to incomes showed wages and salaries rose even more than last reported and the saving rate was the highest since the end of 2012, indicating households can unleash some pent-up demand.
Consumer Sentiment
Consumer confidence firmed at the end of May, another report showed Friday. The University of Michigan's final sentiment index for the month came in at 90.7 compared with a preliminary reading of 88.6. Still, it marked the weakest reading in six months.
"The index is still quite high," Richard Curtin, director of the Michigan Survey of Consumers, said on a conference call after the figures were released. During the latter half of the month, "I expected confidence to inch upward and I still think that is likely over the months ahead."
The economy is poised to pick up this quarter. A Bloomberg survey of economists in May predicted growth will accelerate to a 2.7 percent pace in April through June, with household consumption expanding 3.2 percent.
Job Market
An improving labor market is among reasons consumers may be more willing to spend. Payrolls rebounded in April, as employers added 223,000 jobs after an 85,000 gain in March. The unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent, the lowest since May 2008. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are hovering just above a 15-year low reached at the end of April.
"The U.S. economy seems well-positioned for continued growth," Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in a May 22 speech in Providence, Rhode Island. "Households are seeing the benefits of the improving jobs situation."
If the economy continues to improve as she expects, "it will be appropriate at some point this year" to start raising rates, Yellen said.
The GDP estimate is the second of three for the quarter, with the third release scheduled for June, when more information becomes available.
