Actually (on Unix) it never "meant" EOF, that was just a convention.
Typing ^D on a terminal, for example, would delimit the input the
same as newline but without inserting a character; thus ^D after a
newline (or after a preceding ^D) would produce a 0-length record,
returning length 0 from a read. (just as typing "123^D" would
produce a 3-byte record without newline). An attempt to read the
next N bytes from a disk file when already at end of file would
return 0 rather than error, as a convenient way to indicate "no
more data" that was consistent with the terminal-handler convention.
It was important that such "EOF" was not "sticky", so if more
input became available it could be read subsequently. (The C
standard as of 1999 decided to make stdio EOF condition "sticky",
at least until a new positioning request, to reduce the incidence
of a common class of bugs.)

Tours of a Lifetime
National Geographic
Top 3, Best Values in the World
Travel & Leisure
In a bit, we'll quote the many reasons our past guests have given for having us as their travel planning partner. But first…
Let's acknowledge that for many people, doing their own planning is a genuinely better alternative. Let's see each of their perspectives…
They have a lot of vacation time and a high tolerance for, even a liking for, uncertainty.
They are not like travelers who have just a week in Costa Rica and would feel distraught to lost 10% of their vacation wrestling with some problem with their plans, or a hotel reservation problem.
They have the sense that with enough time they could get all the rich experiences on their own, and they give less weight to our knowing how to orchestrate many more interesting experiences and encounters for them in every day – our mantra that "vacation time is precious."
Indeed, if they are a savvy, sophisticated international traveler, they might be able to have equally valuable experiences as we orchestrate into one day if they are willing to spend more days doing it.
Some may turn their loss of time and planned experiences into having interactions with local people.
If making the most of every day matters to you, we think you're better off becoming our client. Otherwise, this is a reason to go it on your own.
They are simply unwilling to spend money to prevent problems, get more experiences, have the benefit of guides, and maximize their lifetime memories.
Many of our guests (quoted below) rave about how smoothly everything went. But even with us, things can go wrong. The issue is whether you're willing to pay extra to minimize how often things go wrong.
Sometimes we fix the problem behind the scenes without your ever knowing there was a problem.
Sometimes nobody screwed up; perhaps we alert you that it's sunnier in one part of the country, and offer to move you somewhere else, sometimes at no cost, sometimes at our out of pocket cost, in a cordial and constructive consultation. It's like insurance. It's peace of mind.
In any case, our goal is always to fix problems while you go about your vacation.
The question is whether getting stuck then rescuing yourself is a big part of your enjoyment and adventure. If spending a day fighting with a hotel is an experience you could enjoy, win or lose, without spending the next day with a headache and indigestion, it may make sense for you to save the money for our planning. But if worrying about what might ruin your vacation is a concern, delegate the planning, organizing, and solving to us.
Whether you want to remove such stress is often the determining factor in whether you're willing to pay more to have carefree experiences.
Some people love to "do their own plumbing." All the details of planning are a major delight to them.
In fact, some travelers love the planning process almost more than the travel experience. They love to study peer reviews and separate the wheat from the chaff. They find the planning so nourishing, they might plan 10 vacations in detail for every one they actually take.
With us, you take a more strategic role in the planning, by telling us in detail your interests and preferences on our Wish List. Then we do all the detailed planning, reserving all the places, cars, planes, guides, and other vacation details to get you the exact vacation that matches your interests. You come to us with your suitcase of dreams, expectations, and standards. You remain the star; we plan and manage all the backstage details – with you collaborating actively in tuning the itineraries we provide.
And as you'll see as you read on, there are many keys to the vacation of a lifetime that you cannot learn about on your own.
No one other than an experienced native, who is a trained guide, can know what there is to see the very month you are there, where to go to see what wild life is appearing now, what to avoid, and how to learn the most from every hour.
But for the self-guiding traveler, not knowing and discovering whatever they are lucky enough to discover is part of the adventure they want.
Please be careful about local guides that haven't had our training and thorough vetting process. They may be giving canned speeches, hyping various activities, hunting tips, hunting your daughter, or living out their own fantasy.
Whatever you do, don't settle for less than a great guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, who knows how to not be intrusive, who helps you discover things, who is professional and personable, and a delight to spend time with.↑ Back to Top

|All Recent SEC Filings
Quarterly Report
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q/A contains information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give the expectations or forecasts of future events of Assured Guaranty Ltd. ("AGL" and, together with its subsidiaries, "Assured Guaranty" or the "Company"). These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and relate to future operating or financial performance.
Any or all of Assured Guaranty's forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations and the current economic environment and may turn out to be incorrect. Assured Guaranty's actual results may vary materially. Among factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
† rating agency action, including a ratings downgrade, a change in outlook, the placement of ratings on watch for downgrade, or a change in rating criteria, at any time, of AGL or any of its subsidiaries and/or of transactions that AGL's subsidiaries have insured, all of which have occurred in the past;
† developments in the world's financial and capital markets that adversely affect issuers' payment rates, the Company's loss experience, its ability to cede exposure to reinsurers, its access to capital, its unrealized (losses) gains on derivative financial instruments or its investment returns;
† changes in the world's credit markets, segments thereof or general economic conditions;
† more severe or frequent losses implicating the adequacy of the Company's expected loss estimates;
† the impact of market volatility on the mark-to-market of the Company's contracts written in credit default swap ("CDS") form;
† reduction in the amount of insurance and reinsurance opportunities available to the Company;
† deterioration in the financial condition of our reinsurers, the amount and timing of reinsurance recoverables actually received and the risk that reinsurers may dispute amounts owed to us under our reinsurance agreements;
† the possibility that the Company will not realize insurance loss recoveries or damages from originators, sellers, sponsors, underwriters or servicers of residential mortgage-backed securities transactions;
† increased competition;
† changes in applicable accounting policies or practices; † changes in applicable laws or regulations, including insurance and tax laws;
† other governmental actions;
† difficulties with the execution of the Company's business strategy;
† contract cancellations;
† the Company's dependence on customers;
† loss of key personnel;
† adverse technological developments;
† the effects of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;
† natural or man-made catastrophes; † other risks and uncertainties that have not been identified at this time;
† management's response to these factors; and
† other risk factors identified in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive, and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. Investors are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what the Company projected. Any forward looking statements in this Form 10-Q/A reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to its operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity.
For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Unless otherwise noted, ratings disclosed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Assured Guaranty's insured portfolio reflect internal ratings. Although Assured Guaranty's rating scale is similar to that used by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, the ratings may not be the same as ratings assigned by any such rating agency. The super senior category, which is not generally used by rating agencies, is used by Assured Guaranty in instances where its AAA-rated exposure has additional credit enhancement due to either (1) the existence of another security rated AAA that is subordinated to Assured Guaranty's exposure or (2) Assured Guaranty's exposure benefitting from a different form of credit enhancement that would pay any claims first in the event that any of the exposures incurs a loss, and such credit enhancement, in management's opinion, causes Assured Guaranty's attachment point to be materially above the AAA attachment point.
Website Information
The Company routinely posts important information for investors on its website (www.assuredguaranty.com), under the "Investor Information" (particularly under the "By Company," "Assured Guaranty Ltd." tabs) and "Press Room" tabs. The Company uses this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under SEC Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure). Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investor Information and Press Room portions of the Company's website, in addition to following the Company's press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, the Company's website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this Quarterly Report.
Executive Summary
This executive summary of management's discussion and analysis highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of the Quarterly Report. For a complete description of events, trends and uncertainties, as well as the capital, liquidity, credit, operational and market risks and the critical accounting policies and estimates affecting the Company, the Original Form 10-Q and this Form 10-Q/A should be read together in their entirety. Financial information in Management's Discussion and Analysis has been restated as described in Note 2 of "Item 1. Financial Statements." The restatement related primarily to the correction of errors in the elimination of intercompany transactions between the Company's insurance subsidiaries and the consolidated financial guaranty variable interest entities ("FG VIEs"). The total effect of this restatement was a decrease to equity of $36.1 million and $65.3 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, an increase to net income of $15.1 million and $30.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a decrease to net income of $24.4 million and $12.9 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, from amounts previously reported in the Original Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
Assured Guaranty provides, through its operating subsidiaries, credit protection products to the United States ("U.S.") and international public finance, infrastructure and structured finance markets. The Company has applied its credit underwriting judgment, risk management skills and capital markets experience to develop insurance, reinsurance and credit derivative products that protect holders of debt instruments and other monetary obligations from defaults in scheduled payments, including scheduled interest and principal payments. Financial guaranty contracts written in insurance form provide an unconditional and irrevocable guaranty that protects the holder of a financial obligation against non-payment of principal and interest when due. Financial guaranty contracts written in credit derivative form (typically CDS) are generally structured such that the circumstances giving rise to the Company's obligation to make loss payments are similar to those for financial guaranty contracts accounted for as insurance and only occurs upon one or more defined credit events with respect to one or more third party referenced securities or loans.
Public finance obligations insured or assumed through reinsurance by the Company consist primarily of general obligation bonds supported by the issuers' taxing powers, tax-supported bonds and revenue bonds and other obligations of states, their political subdivisions and other municipal issuers supported by the issuers' or obligors' covenant to impose and collect fees and charges for public services or specific projects. Public finance obligations include obligations backed by the cash flow from leases or other revenues from projects serving substantial public purposes, including government office buildings, toll roads, health care facilities and utilities.
Structured finance obligations insured or assumed through reinsurance by the Company are backed by pools of assets such as residential mortgage loans, consumer or trade receivables, securities or other assets having an ascertainable cash flow or market value and issued by special purpose entities. The Company currently does not underwrite U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS").
Debt obligations guaranteed by the Company's insurance subsidiaries are generally awarded ratings that are the same rating as the financial strength rating of the Assured Guaranty subsidiary that has guaranteed that obligation. Investors in products insured by Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. ("AGM") or Assured Guaranty Corp. ("AGC") frequently rely on rating agency ratings. Therefore, low financial strength ratings or uncertainty over AGM's or AGC's abilities to maintain their financial strength ratings would have a negative impact on the demand for their insurance product.
As of August 9, 2011, AGM and AGC and their respective insurance-company subsidiaries had financial strength ratings of Aa3 (negative outlook) by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and AA+ (negative outlook) by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"). In connection with S&P's downgrade on August 5, 2011 of the long-term sovereign credit rating of the United States of America to AA+ (negative outlook), on August 8, 2011, S&P affirmed the rating of AGL and the financial strength ratings of AGM and AGC and their respective insurance company subsidiaries, and revised the outlooks of those entities from stable to negative. S&P noted in its Research Update that the rating action did not reflect a change in S&P's view of Assured Guaranty's fundamental credit characteristics, but rather was a result of the application of its criteria that the sovereign local-currency credit
rating constrains its financial strength ratings on insurers whose businesses and assets are highly concentrated in the U.S. and which have significant holdings in U.S. Treasury and agency securities.
A downgrade by Moody's or S&P of the financial strength ratings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries may have a negative impact on the Company's liquidity. A downgrade may trigger (1) increased claims on some of the Company's insurance policies, in certain cases, on a more accelerated basis than when the original transaction closed; or (2) termination payments or collateral posting under CDS contracts. A downgrade in the financial strength ratings may also enable beneficiaries of the Company's policies to cancel the credit protection offered by the Company and cease paying premium. A downgrade may also enable primary insurance companies that had ceded business to the Company to recapture a significant portion of its in-force financial guaranty reinsurance business.
In 2011, the Company is focusing on three principal areas that are critical to Assured Guaranty's future growth and business potential. Those areas are:
† S&P's proposal to change its bond insurance rating criteria.
† Loss mitigation, including the pursuit of recoveries for breaches of representations and warranties and efforts to improve servicing.
† New business development.
Standard and Poor's Ratings Services Bond Insurer Criteria
On September 27, 2011, S&P published a Research Update in which it placed its ratings of Assured Guaranty on CreditWatch Negative. This action included changing the financial strength ratings of AGC and AGM from AA+ (Negative Outlook) to AA+ (CreditWatch Negative), and the AA (Negative Outlook) rating of Assured Guaranty Re Ltd. ("AG Re") to AA (CreditWatch Negative), signifying that S&P may downgrade such financial strength ratings in the near future. In the Research Update, S&P stated that the CreditWatch placement is due to significant concentration risk in Assured Guaranty's consolidated insured portfolio; the portfolio contains exposures that are not consistent with S&P's new bond insurance rating criteria and breach the "largest obligor test" in such new criteria. The largest obligor test appears to have the effect of significantly reducing Assured Guaranty's allowed single risk limits and limiting its financial strength rating level. S&P published updated criteria in Bond Insurance Rating Methodology and Assumptions on August 25, 2011, subsequent to its publication of Request for Comment: Bond Insurance Criteria on January 24, 2011. According to S&P, based on statements from Assured Guaranty's management that Assured Guaranty intends to take action such as create capital or utilize additional forms of reinsurance to mitigate these concentration risks, it is likely such actions, if taken, would support financial strength ratings in the "AA" category. S&P noted that it expects to resolve this CreditWatch placement no later than November 30, 2011. The Company is considering transactions that are designed to create capital and/or mitigate its concentration risks but can give no assurance that it will be able to complete the transactions at all or on terms that are acceptable. If it cannot do so, S&P may downgrade the financial strength ratings of AGL and its subsidiaries, including the financial strength ratings of AGC, AGM and AG Re, which downgrade may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operation, liquidity, business prospects or other aspects of the Company's business and on its insured portfolio. See Notes 5, 7 and 12 of the Financial Statements for the potential impact of a financial strength rating downgrade on the Company and on the insured portfolio. Since S&P's January 2011 announcement that it planned to change its rating criteria, the Company has been pursuing strategies to improve its rating agency capital position. Such strategies include:
† Negotiating comprehensive agreements with representations and warranties ("R&W") providers, such as the Bank of America Agreement consummated on April 14, 2011. See "Recoveries for Breaches of R&W" below.
† Agreeing to terminate contracts under which the Company sells credit protection. Through June 30, 2011, the Company agreed to terminate CDS with net par of $7.7 billion, resulting in net gains of $15.5 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 ("First Quarter 2011") and $16.4 million in losses in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 ("Second Quarter 2011").
† Commuting reinsurance contracts. In 2011, the Company cancelled an assumed reinsurance contract for a gain of $8.1 million and cancelled a ceded reinsurance contract for a gain of $24.1 million. In 2010, the Company reassumed previously ceded business resulting in gains of $16.7 million.
† Purchasing securities insured by the Company. In 2011, the Company purchased additional insured securities bringing the June 30, 2011 carrying value of assets purchased for loss mitigation purposes to $244.3 million, with a par of $1,029.3 million.
Recoveries for Breaches of R&W
On April 14, 2011, Assured Guaranty reached a comprehensive agreement with Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Countrywide Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Bank of America"), regarding their liabilities with respect to 29 RMBS transactions insured by Assured Guaranty, including claims relating to reimbursement for breaches of R&W and historical loan servicing issues ("Bank of America Agreement"). Of the 29 RMBS transactions, eight are second lien transactions and 21 are first lien transactions. The Bank of America Agreement covers Bank of America-sponsored securitizations that AGM or AGC has insured, as well as certain other securitizations containing concentrations of Countrywide-originated loans that AGM or AGC has insured. The transactions covered by the Bank of America Agreement have a gross par outstanding of $4.7 billion ($4.4 billion net par outstanding) as of June 30, 2011, or 28% of Assured Guaranty's total below-investment-grade ("BIG") RMBS net par outstanding.
Bank of America paid $928.1 million in Second Quarter 2011 in respect of covered second lien transactions and is obligated to pay another $171.9 million by March 2012. In consideration of the $1.1 billion, the Company has agreed to release its claims for the repurchase of mortgage loans underlying the eight second lien transactions (i.e. Assured Guaranty will retain the risk of future insured losses without further offset for R&W claims against Bank of America).
In addition, Bank of America will reimburse Assured Guaranty 80% of claims Assured Guaranty pays on the 21 first lien transactions, until aggregate collateral losses on such RMBS transactions reach $6.6 billion. The Company accounts for the 80% loss sharing agreement with Bank of America as subrogation. As the Company calculates expected losses for these 21 first lien transactions, such expected losses will be offset by an R&W benefit from Bank of America for 80% of these amounts. As of June 30, 2011, Bank of America had placed $1.0 billion of eligible assets in trust in order to collateralize the reimbursement obligation relating to the first lien transactions. The amount of assets required to be posted may increase or decrease from time to time, as determined by rating agency requirements.
As of June 30, 2011, cumulative collateral losses on the 21 first lien RMBS transactions were approximately $1.6 billion. The Company estimates that cumulative projected collateral losses for these first lien transactions will reach $4.84 billion, which will result in estimated gross expected losses to the Company of $630.9 million before considering R&W recoveries from Bank of America, and $126.8 million after considering such R&W recoveries. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had been reimbursed $14.9 million in respect of the covered first lien transactions under the Bank of America Agreement.
Although the Bank of America Agreement was executed in Second Quarter 2011, it provided additional evidence about the estimates inherent in the loss estimation process at March 31, 2011 and, therefore, the March 31, 2011 loss estimates incorporated updated assumptions and estimates reflecting the terms of the Bank of America Agreement. The benefit for R&W in 2011 reflects higher expected recoveries across all transactions as a result of the Bank of America Agreement. For transactions covered under the Bank of America Agreement, the R&W benefit has been updated to reflect amounts collected and expected to be collected under the terms of the Bank of America Agreement. For transactions with other sponsors of U.S. RMBS, against which the Company is pursuing R&W claims, the Company has increased the benefit for R&W in 2011 to reflect the probability that actual recovery rates may be higher than originally expected in First Quarter 2011. For transactions involving R&W providers other than Bank of America, the Company has continued to review additional loan files and has found breach rates consistent with those in the Bank of America transactions.
As a result of the 80% loss sharing arrangement, the Company increased its estimate of expected R&W recoveries during First Quarter 2011 for the transactions covered under the Bank of America Agreement by $411.2 million, resulting in an increase to pre-tax income of approximately $220 million. Changes in gross expected loss on these first lien transactions will result in a corresponding benefit for R&W equal to 80% of such development, up to $6.6 billion of collateral losses.
The Company believes the Bank of America Agreement was a significant step in the effort to recover U.S. RMBS losses the Company experienced resulting from breaches of R&W. The Company is continuing to pursue other representation and warranty providers for U.S. RMBS transactions it has insured.
New Business Development
Management believes that the Company is able to provide value not only by insuring the timely payment of scheduled interest and principal amounts when due, but also through its underwriting skills and surveillance capabilities, particularly with regard to the U.S. public finance market. Few individual or even institutional investors have the analytic resources to cover all the varied municipal credits in that market, which are estimated to number more than 30,000. Through its financial guaranty, the Company undertakes the tasks of credit selection, analysis, negotiation of terms, monitoring and, if necessary, remediation. Management believes this allows retail investors to participate more widely, institutional investors to operate more efficiently and smaller, less well-known issuers to gain market access on a more cost-effective basis. In fact, in Second Quarter 2011, based on par, the Company insured approximately 15% of new U.S. municipal issues that were $25 million or less in size across all rating categories.
Economic Environment
Early-stage mortgage delinquencies have slowly improved in 2011, but severities on first lien transactions have increased. New issuance in the U.S. and international public finance sectors has not returned to historic levels, and the market for financial guaranty insurance has been hampered by ratings actions and municipal rating recalibrations, as well as reduced new issuance volume. In particular, in the U.S. public finance market, new issue volume for the first half of 2011 was only $115.0 billion, down 44% from the same period in 2010. The factors contributing to this decline include:
† Strong volume in December 2010, as issuers seeking to take advantage of the expiring Build America Bonds program issued $15.4 billion of new bonds.
† Reduction in capital spending due to municipal budget constraints, resulting in less need for increased debt.
† Reluctance to increase taxes to service principal and interest costs under new debt.
Financial Performance
The table below presents selected financial data in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Reported Financial Results Second Quarter Six Months 2011 2010 2011 2010 (dollars in millions, except per share amounts) (restated) (restated) (restated) (restated) Net earned premiums $ 230.0 $ 297.0 $ 484.0 $ 611.7 Net investment income 101.1 90.9 197.2 175.2 Realized gains and other settlements on credit derivatives (10.8 ) 38.4 24.6 65.1 Net unrealized gains (losses) on credit derivatives (54.0 ) 35.1 (325.6 ) 287.2 Net change in fair value of financial guaranty variable interest entities (174.3 ) (27.4 ) (54.7 ) (36.3 ) Loss and loss adjustment expenses (123.9 ) (85.7 ) (98.4 ) (196.6 ) Other operating expenses (48.5 ) (47.4 ) (105.3 ) (110.0 ) Net income (loss) (42.6 ) 179.1 98.0 512.6 Diluted earnings per share (0.23 ) 0.95 0.52 2.70
Second Quarter 2011 net loss was driven primarily by fair value losses on credit derivatives FG VIEs. Fair value losses on credit derivatives resulted primarily from the narrowing of AGC and AGM credit spreads. Fair value losses on FG VIEs resulted primarily from losses on consolidation of eight new VIEs of $95.3 million, pretax, and declines in fair value of the underlying collateral on two consolidated VIEs. Second Quarter 2011 also includes a gain on commutation of a financial guaranty assumed reinsurance contract of $8.1 million, pretax, as the Company actively seeks to reduce exposure to BIG monolines. Net investment income increased due to the shift towards longer duration assets and increased invested assets largely due to cash received under the Bank of America Agreement in Second Quarter 2011. As expected, net earned premiums and credit derivative fees in Second Quarter 2011 declined compared with the three-months period ended June 30, 2010 ("Second Quarter 2010") as the structured in-force book of business declines. Loss and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") increased compared with Second Quarter 2010 and was higher than expected due primarily to the decline in the risk-free rates used to discount cash flows in the loss models.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 ("Six Months 2011"), net income also includes fair value losses on credit derivatives and FG VIEs. In addition to the effect of AGC and AGM credit spread narrowing since year end 2010, Six Month 2011 also includes fair value losses due to a refinement in assumptions in the First Quarter 2011. Six Months 2011 commutation gains on financial guaranty . . .

Intel updates on Sandy Bridge
Perlmutter is having visions again
CHIPMAKER Intel announced "Vision of the Future" services in a keynote speech at this year's Intel Developers Forum (IDF) yesterday.
David Perlmutter, executive vice president and co-general manager of the Intel architecture group, announced a slew of services couched in Mystic Meg style predictions.
Perlmutter touched on "Sandy Bridge", Intel's next processor line due for manufacturing later this year. This will have Intel's Hi-K 32nm technology and support advanced vector extension instructions. The processor will also offer Intel's sixth-generation graphics core.
Intel will also join the Smart TV brigade with its Atom CE4100 system on a chip (SoC) processor set to be bundled into set top boxes and Blu-ray drives. The processor is designed to deliver ultra low power consumption performance but still be capable of HD visuals, graphics and audio decoding.
Perlmutter then wrapped up with word of a PC manufacturer partnership to co-develop a "convertible classmate PC". Intel is working with Tongfang and Hanvon to build a model with improved e-reading functionality.
The second keynote was delivered by Renee James, senior vice president and general manager of the software and services group at Intel. James believes the industry has endorsed Intel and Nokia's merged open source projects. She said Meego was already good to go with a host of OEM partners in the bag.
She ended her speech with news that Chinese ISVs and developers can submit applications for Intel's Atom developer programme. Although that's still in beta, applications can be made and circulated on Intel's Appup Centre. µ

|Six Ways to Get the Most Out of Your NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio:
Frequently Asked Questions About NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radios
|What is NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio (NWR)?
NWR is a service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the Department of Commerce. NWR provides continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information directly from each Warning & Forecast Office (WFO) across the country. Weather messages are recorded and run in a cycle lasting an average of around four minutes, and are updated frequently throughout the day.
When severe weather occurs, routine broadcasting will be interrupted to provide the listener with frequent updates on severe weather warnings or statements relative to each listening area. When a severe weather warning is issued and you are within about 40 miles of a transmitter, specially equipped receivers will alert, with warning and safety information following the alert. NWR is now the fastest way to get your warnings. New technology used by the National Weather Service (NWS) enables warnings to be broadcast over NWR just a few seconds after they are issued, adding valuable lead-time to potentially life-saving warnings.
|Can't I just tune in with the radio I already have? Where can I get a NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio?
|Weather radio broadcasts on seven high-band frequencies ranging from 162.4 to 162.55 MHz, which are too high for most standard radios to receive. This is why you need a special "weather radio" to receive the broadcast. You can get weather radios at most common electronics stores for as little as $20, and many grocery stores around the Tennessee Valley offer weather radios as well. You can get more information about buying a weather radio by clicking here.
|Am I able to receive NWR broadcasts at my location?
|NWR broadcasts can usually be heard as far away as 40 miles from a transmitter site, and at times at further distances. The effective range depends on many factors, including transmitter power, height of the antenna, terrain, quality of the receiver and atmospheric conditions. The National Weather Service Office in Huntsville broadcasts from 6 transmitters located throughout north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee. Click here to determine which transmitter(s) you should be able to receive.
|How do I know my weather radio is programmed correctly?
NWS Huntsville usually conducts our routine weekly test each Wednesday between 11 AM and 12 PM (except in cases of inclement weather). If you do not receive the test, you should check your radio to see if it is programmed properly and tuned to the closest available broadcast. If you need further assistance, please contact our office.
|Who is that person on NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio?
|When you tune into NOAA Weather Radio, the "voice" you hear is actually computer generated speech. This is a component of NWR called CRS, or Console Replacement System. CRS was designed to ensure the National Weather Service (NWS) will be able to meet the increasing demands of NWR programming.
The advantages to using CRS are numerous. First and foremost, CRS routes products to the affected NWR transmitter as soon as they are issued. There is no lag time after issuance, since recordings are no longer made. This is especially important during severe weather, as precious minutes will be added to each warning's "lead time." Automating these tasks also frees up NWS employees to devote more time to forecasts and operations. Also, old products are taken out of the broadcast cycle the moment they expire and/or are updated.
|What is the programming schedule for NWR?
Programming on NWR will vary from office to office. Following is the normal programming schedule at NWS Huntsville. (The program schedule is similar for all 6 transmitters.)
|What products are alerted on NWR?
The following products are alerted using SAME codes and the 1050 hertz tone:

sorry double post...weird stuff going on
I wish I could find more personal accounts of people who have followed ADF or 5:2 for an extended period of time. I found one youtube video of a lady who had been doing ADF for 4 years, but she didn't give many details. Just said she was doing great. And a guy's blog who has been doing it since September 2021, but he was fairly fit to begin with, and - typical guy- tells a lot about what he is eating, and how he trains, but not how it FEELS! :) heehee.
[QUOTE=demuralist;1155192]so, ok, I never thought I would ever say this....I actually have not been eating up to my ud calories. I am supposed to hit 2200, the closest I have come is 2100, but mostly just hover around 1800.
Now this morning after an ud while on TTOM I managed to stay the same weight. Today, so far, no hunger issues. Just a couple of twinges that went away. If I manage to actually maintain on my ud's and lose on my dd's even if only a fraction of a pound, I would be one very happy camper!!!
I am not trying to limit the ud's by the by. I am just eating lowish carb and to satisfaction. I say lowish because it is higher than when I do low carb, but still with in the range that Mark and others consider low carb/weight loss/ketosis numbers-even if they don't show ketones in my blood.[/QUOTE]
My typical pattern seems to be going up a pound or so after Up Days, and going down ~ a pound and a half or staying the same after Down Days. I am looking more at my two charts that show all my Up Days connected and all my Down Days connected. Both lines are heading steadily if slowly downward.
I think our Up Days will keep us from not feeling hunger on Down Days. Once you eat, your body just seems to turn that switch to 'ON'.
These double posts are driving me mad!
Dd# 4 going well, just had coffee and HWC this morning and I didn't feel hungry at all till 2 pm. So that's good! Though I've only had 1 glass of water today too, I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Maybe not chugging water all day is keeping my hunger at bay? Whatever it is I'm glad for it this is a first down day where I feel like I'm not counting the minutes till dinner. Weigh in this morning was 219.6 so up .4 from Yesterday. I'll be okay if every up day is only a few ounces more than what I weigh in on a down day.
Yes, that's all I hope for...to lose after a down day and at least maintain on an up day.
I DO think my body will adapt eventually to less food. I would have never thought that possible 3 months ago. I'm already eating WAY less than I was before finding primal blueprint. I also do think my appetite/hunger signals will even themselves out to an adequate degree the longer I do this. As it is, my down days are slightly over the 500, but have been as high as 650. I think I could very easily do 800 calories on a down day or the rest of my life.
A REALLY nice side benefit of this is that I AM truly going through less food, lol.
I think on the JUDDD forum on LCF there are a few who have been doing it for the long term, and a couple who fell off only to come back to it.
To me, for maintenance, it would be easier to add a fast day to a 5:2 week to keep in range than to jump back on a diet.
yep, double posts are infuriating!

New pictures of Marion Cotillard and Owen Wilson on the set of 'Midnight in Paris from Wednesday night (August 4) have surfaced. Apparently, that was Marion's last day of filming, as the last 2 pictures show where she's holding flowers and wiping away tears.
Additionally, I've added more pictures from July 7 & 30. This means we now have 299 photos of Marion on the set of the Woody Allen pic. The filenames indicate which day the photographs are from.

Looking back, we can sometimes see the shifts and bends, twists and tremors that precede it.
In the end, though, change happens in an instant.
For one Georgia family, New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof related some weeks back, "it all began with a stop at a red light."
There, Kristof wrote, a teenage girl saw a Mercedes on one side and a homeless man on the other.
"'Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal,' Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.
"'What do you want to do?' her mom responded. 'Sell our house?'"
In time, Kristof noted, the Salwen family did just that: They pledged $800,000 to the Hunger Project and took up residence in a smaller abode.
Their choice to support a nonprofit group claiming a commitment to the sustainable end of world hunger will, one hopes, make a positive difference in the lives of those who live in Ghana. Their decision to live in a smaller house has meant that the family spends more time together
"We essentially traded stuff for togetherness and connectedness," Kevin Salwen told Kristof. "I can't figure out why everybody wouldn't want that deal."
While I've only read Kristof's column about the Salwens, I'm looking forward to reading their own account, "The Power of Half: One Family's Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $24).
For now, though, the column may be enough to keep me thinking about the power of choices in our own lives, those immediately around us and perhaps those we'll never meet.
Just because I don't have a house to sell doesn't mean I'm off the hook.
We all have something to give.
As Hannah Salwen, the philosophizing teenager at the traffic light, is quoted in Kristof's column: "Everyone has too much of something, whether it's time, talent or treasure. Everyone does have their own half, you just have to find it."
I don't know what it will be for you or, for that matter, me.
Some may be able to offer sizable financial gifts to charitable organizations, thereby helping to cure diseases, provide clean water, offer shelter and give nourishment. Others may take the time to visit with those who are ill or imprisoned, lonely or discouraged. Maybe one night someone leaves the dirty dishes in the sink and discovers time to read one more story to a child or laugh with a spouse.
For those of us who revel in getting things done, in crossing items off checklists and keeping track of accomplishments, these kinds of activities may prove a bit challenging. They may not leave us with any tangible talismans of our endeavors.
But as Lin Yutang, author of "The Importance of Living," observed, "The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials."

Cheerleaders head to London
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, July 25th, 2013
Three Custer High School cheerleaders will be living a dream next year.
Juniors Kaytlyn Bergeron and Kendall Ashmore and senior Mercedes Elliott will represent Custer across the pond in London for the annual New Years Day parade, similar to the annual Macy's parade in New York City. The three were chosen to participate in the festival after trying out for the team at a Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) camp, hosted in Custer. Only sophomore, junior and senior cheerleaders can make the trip.
"This was the first ever camp hosted in Custer," said Mechelle Powers, co-cheerleading coach. "All of our girls were able to participate it in as well as cheerleaders from Hill City."
The camp taught the girls various dances and cheers, but also helped them clean up their stunts and finishes.
"They did simple stunts with a technique and they did it really sharp. It looked really amazing," Ashmore said. "It was more college-type things."
In addition to being named All-American Cheerleaders for the 2013-14 year, Bergeron, Ashmore and Elliott were the only girls from all the attending schools to make the team going to London. In order to make the team, the girls tried out in front of judges with material they learned during the camp.

In Reply.—In an extensive review of the acute renal complications of NSAIDs, we found 34 case reports of nephrotic syndrome and another 13 cases of glomerular or vascular lesions. Only five of these case reports recorded the results of C3 or C4 levels, and all of the levels were reported as normal.1-5 We were able to find another 51 cases of acute interstitial nephritis. The majority of these case studies made no reference to complement levels and those that were reported were normal in all cases except two, which reported an isolated decrease in C4 complement levels.6-7
I believe that our report of a case of acute renal failure due to zomepirac sodium administration with depressed serum C3, C4 and total complement levels, and the accompanying report by Ghose and Jivan of one patient with decreased levels of C3 and C4 are the first reports of decreases

The article "Pennsylvania ranks fourth nationally in number of hotels breaking labor laws: PublicSource" (July 7) failed to capture the complexities of labor laws that the hotel industry has to deal with.
Lodging establishments are not only large employers, in many cases employing hundreds of individuals, but also complex entities that employ just about every category of employees (i.e., full time, part-time, tipped, contracted, salaried, hourly, etc.). As a result, these businesses are subject to almost every labor law written.
Not only is it difficult for a business to be 100 percent compliant, but labor laws also are open to interpretation by the National Labor Relations Board and the Department of Labor. An operator might not realize his or her business is in violation of the law until it is uncovered in an audit, at which point the error is corrected and rarely repeated.
When it comes to understanding the intricate regulations such as those relating to labor compliance, education is key. Educating lodging establishments on the many nuances of labor law will go a long way in helping compliance and curb repeat violations.
As the trade association for the hospitality industry in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association serves its members and acts as a resource for education, training and information on operational issues such as wage and hour laws and food safety code requirements.
PATRICK C. CONWAY, President & CEO, Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association, Harrisburg

Show of the week
"Let's go—let's find what we can do," Tiernach Cassidy recalls saying to fellow New York City firefighters the moment he peered through the black dust cloud and realized he was still alive after the collapse of one of the World Trade Center's twin towers. This quietly powerful two-hour special, based on Dennis Smith's best-selling book, honors that spirit of unpretentious heroism. Rescuers who made it through Sept. 11 recall friends, brothers and sons who lost their lives. Sadness, relief and bewilderment mix as survivors wonder why they were spared.
How could a good God allow the destruction of that day? That question is explored deeply in another 9/11 program, PBS's Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, a special Frontline airing Sept. 3 at 9 (repeating Sept. 11 at 8).
Bottom Line: Top-priority reports

Fourth Annual SUNY Upstate Skins Game slated for June is canceled
The Fourth Annual SUNY Upstate Skins Game slated for June 18 at the Lafayette Golf and Country Club has been canceled, SUNY Upstate officials announced today.
"We were unable to secure the sponsorships that made this such a marvelous event for all of Central New York," said Eileen Pezzi, SUNY Upstate vice president for development.
Pezzi said there continues to be widespread enthusiasm for the charity golf event to benefit Upstate Medical University Foundation, but the less than robust economy and Sept. 11, has made corporate dollars harder to come by this year.
"I think for some of our sponsors, supporting a charity golf event in the face of an uncertain economy, was a difficult decision to make," she said. "And we certainly respect that and understand their decisions."
Pezzi said she knew early in the planning phase for this year's event that attracting sponsors might be difficult. "We understood that many budgets earmarked for charity, had already been spent for causes related to Sept. 11, so we knew our sponsors might have a difficult time supporting us this year."
Corporate sponsorships are key to the success of the SUNY Upstate Skins Game. Pezzi said area businesses offered generous support to defray many of the costs in putting on the event. "We wanted this event to remain affordable, while at the same time raising money for an outstanding cause and giving everyone a great time," she said. "We would not want to put on this event without providing the public with a top flight event."
The past skins games, held in 1999, 2000 and 2001, attracted nearly 18,000 people and raised nearly $400,000 for the Upstate Medical University Foundation to support research, teaching and patient care.
Pezzi said the foundation remains hopeful that the Skins Game will return in the future. "Not only does this event benefit SUNY Upstate, I believe it serves the Central New York area extremely well. It attracts fans from across the region and gives them access to some of golf's great players."
Arnold Palmer, John Daly, Billy Casper, Jeff Sluman, Gary Player and Chi Chi Rodriguez were among the top draws for the event, since its inception in 1999.
Individuals who have already purchased tickets for the June 18 SUNY Upstate Skins Game, should call the Upstate Medical University Foundation at 464-4416 to obtain a refund.

Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI ) has a new person to wear green eyeshades at the company. The oil and gas industry services provider announced this morning that Mike Sumruld was appointed as its vice president and treasurer, replacing Jan Kees van Gaalen, who left last month to serve as executive VP and CFO at Dresser-Rand.
Sumruld started his career at Baker Hughes in 1998 and worked most recently as VP of financial planning and analysis in Dubai. Prior to that, Sumruld served as Baker Hughes' director of investor relations.
Baker Hughes CFO Peter Ragauss said: "Mike brings more than 20 years of diversified financial expertise, international experience, and a record of solid performance within Baker Hughes to his new role as Treasurer. We believe this depth of experience will enable him to interact very effectively with our external stakeholders."
Sumruld has held a range of financial roles covering the U.S., Latin America, and the Eastern Hemisphere as well as global financial roles covering several product lines including drill bits, drilling services, chemicals, and drilling and completion fluids. He earned his MBA at Texas A&M and his undergraduate business degree at the University of Houston.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Placer County District 5 Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery presented a $5,000 check for Meals on Wheels to Sarah Hall Deardorff, Executive Director of the Sierra Senior Services program in Truckee Sunday, Jan. 2, 2011.
In 2010, Supervisor Montgomery directed her Fiscal Year 2010/11 District 5 Benefit Funds be allocated to Placer County Health and Human Services to distribute directly to support services and programs assisting children and seniors.
Sierra Senior Services is a community-based nonprofit organization that conducts community fundraising for its senior meals and Meals on Wheels programs. The service provides meals in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area.
"I'm pleased that will help offset an increasing demand for meals from Donner Summit to Lake Tahoe," said Montgomery. "Meals on Wheels provides a critical service for many elderly and disabled residents. The need however still outpaces the funding and I hope other community partners will step forward to help meet the funding shortfall."
Each year, Meals on Wheels has seen a 20 percent increase in demand. To meet that demand, the program uses state funding in addition to monies derived from grants and fundraising activities. The contribution from Placer County will ensure the service reaches as many citizens as possible.
"This funding is helping us continue serving meals to people in Placer County," said Deardorff. "This allows us to continue serving meals at the rates we've been doing."
Celebrate Sierra Senior Services 10th Annual Truckee Bingo Night and Spaghetti Dinner — a perfect evening out for the family to benefits Truckee and North Tahoe area seniors, homebound and disabled adults who rely on fresh-cooked, meals seven days a week provided by Meals on Wheels volunteers.
Join the fun-filled evening at the Truckee Community Recreation Center Saturday, Jan. 29. No-host bar open at 5 p.m. Dinner is served at 6 p.m. Appetizers, dessert, and coffee are included.
After dinner, bingo balls are poppin' 7-9 p.m. with 10 games for $10, followed by a $10 blackout game. Raffle prizes and a silent auction, with tickets at $10 each or three for $20.
Event tickets are available Jan. 2 at www.sierraseniors.org or at Sierra Senior Services, Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce and Community Recreation Center. Call 530-550-7600.

Plano man dies after car strikes motorized crane stopped in Frisco
Frisco Police are investigating after a Plano man died when his car struck the rear of a motorized crane on Friday afternoon.
Dennis Gross, 47, was driving a silver 2013 Hyundai at 12:25 p.m. in the 10000 block of Independence Parkway between Main Street and Eldorado Parkway when the collision occurred. The crane was legally stopped in the right northbound lane, Frisco police say. The crane operator was not hurt.

A Jersey City teacher who said she was assaulted by police after another teacher claimed she had threatened her students may sue the state for defamation and causing "emotional distress," the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled today.
The justices said that public school teachers were first and foremost responsible for students' safety in the event of a threat. But teachers and administrators are still accountable for their actions if they deliberately try to hurt someone while trying to protect the students.
"We must balance those important rights and responsibilities in one such apparent conflict," wrote Justice Helen Hoens, for the court.
But the state's highest court said Sopharie Leang could not accuse the city's Board of Education with "assault" and "battery" because her medical records did not show she was harmed after the police sent her to the hospital.
Leang, who taught ESL at Jersey City's Public School 11, is fluent in five languages and was born into a royal family in Cambodia, her lawyer said.

Doug Collins is sending a message loud and clear to his team. The 76ers coach doesn't want the players to use injuries as an excuse, even if it is their big-ticket item who is hurting.
Collins uses the old mantra that he will prepare with the players who are available.
One of the players not at his disposal is Andrew Bynum. While Wednesday was targeted as Bynum's first day to practice with his new team, Sixers general manager Tony DiLeo said the center would not participate until he is pain-free in his right knee.
With the opener against the Denver Nuggets at the Wells Fargo Center coming up Wednesday, it would be surprising if Bynum is ready to go.
