Shareholders of Advanced Micro Devices have approved the spin-off of the chipmaker's manufacturing operations, which is expected to reduce costs by focusing AMD's efforts on designing rather than making microprocessors.
As a result of Wednesday's approval, AMD is expected to close the deal with Advanced Technology Investment Co., formed by the Abu Dhabi government, March 2. The two companies last year agreed to form a manufacturing joint venture, temporarily called the Foundry Company.
Last week, AMD postponed a shareholder meeting after the company failed to meet the required 50% quorum. The company in the second go-around managed to gather 50.26% of the shares eligible to vote.
Under the joint venture, ATIC will get a 65.8% stake in the manufacturing company, and AMD a 34.2% share. The companies, however, will have equal voting rights. ATIC will pay $2.1 billion for its stake, with $1.4 billion going directly into the joint company and $700 million to AMD.
The deal is seen as critical in helping AMD cut costs following a string of quarterly losses that have amounted to several billion dollars. Last month, AMD reported a loss of $1.4 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, which was narrower than the same period the year before.
Revenue, however, fell 33% from a year ago, as the chipmaker was hit hard by the slump in the PC market caused by the economic downturn.
Each year, InformationWeek honors the nation's 500 most innovative users of business technology. Companies with $250 million or more in revenue are invited to apply for the 2009 InformationWeek 500.

Every year, chatter in the stands before the game revolves around years past.
Generations of former and future players fill the gym when these teams match up, wherever the game is played, and whichever gender is on the court.
"I played for Gloucester, some of my coaches played for Gloucester Catholic," said Gloucester girls' basketball coach Sean Gorman. "And this atmosphere always seems to bring memories to the forefront."
Predictably, every seat was filled Saturday afternoon for the latest chapter in the storied crosstown rivalry, in which Gloucester Catholic recorded a 46-34 win over host Gloucester.
And predictably, the game did not disappoint.

Business Planning Made Easy - Signage, Parking & Minor Exception Process
The City is committed to making it easier for businesses to grow and thrive in Pleasant Hill. With this in mind, the City Council has recently approved changes to the City's zoning ordinance that streamlines and simplifies various business related procedures and applications affecting signage, parking and other zoning issues. The following is a summary of some of the changes recently enacted by the City Council.
Zoning Administrator Approval
Certain new signs may be approved by the Zoning Administrator, whereas previously all sign requests (except those under a sites master sign program) were reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission. This results in the streamlining of the review and approval process by approximately 3 weeks. (Section18.105.020)
Adjustments to Sign Provisions
A new process that will allow both minor and major revisions through a modified process. Previously, any deviations to sign provisions were processed through a variance. The variance included findings that were often difficult to make and added to the time of the review and approval process. (Section 18.60.090 & 100).
Minor adjustments (up to 20% deviation) are reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission. This removes the additional variance process and allows the City greater flexibility when reviewing deviation requests.
Major adjustments (over 20% deviation) are reviewed by the Planning Commission through a conditional use permit and not a variance process. This allows the City to have greater flexibility when reviewing deviation requests.
Temporary Sign Provisions
Various modifications are proposed to this section largely to streamline, improve readability and clarification to the previous provisions:
Window signs exempt from permit review, up to 30% coverage (not including glass doors) and not facing or located in a residential zoning district. (Section 18.60.050.H).
Two temporary wall signs are allowed to be displayed at the same time (provided not facing in the same direction); previously only one temporary sign was allowed at any given time. (Section 18.60.055.A).
Temporary freestanding "A" frame or "H" frames signage now allowed with a permit (up to 20 days, up to six times per year). Certain design criteria must be met. (Section 18.60.55.B).
Other types of temporary signs that are moving, flashing, animated, searchlight, flag, pennant, streamer, air blown or similar is now allowed with a permit for up to seven days at a time, up to six times a year. Previously, these types of signs were allowed for only five days at a time, for only four times per year. (Section18.60.055.C).
Parking reductions (up to 15%) may be permitted (by the Zoning Administrator) for sites within a quarter of a mile of regional transit hubs (BART or transit center). This could remove the conditional use permit process for certain parking reductions, thus, streamlining the approval process. This also allows for increased flexibility for project design since the amount of area necessary for parking could end up being reduced. (Section 18.55.180)
Adjustments to Parking Design Provisions. A new procedure that replaces the previous variance process for deviations to parking design provisions.
The Zoning Administrator may approve an adjustment of up to 20% in parking design standards. This removes the variance process for these types of minor modifications, resulting in streamlining of the review process. This also allows for greater flexibility when designing parking lots. (Section 18.55.190.A)
The Planning Commission may approve adjustments of 20% or more to parking design standards through a conditional use permit process. This allows the City greater flexibility (as the previous variance process includes more stringent findings) when reviewing requests to modify parking design provisions. (Section 18.55.190.B)
New Minor Exception Process (Chapter 18.11)
A new streamlined process that allows minor exceptions to ordinance requirements over the previous variance requirement. Through a minor exception permit, deviations can now be approved by the Zoning Administrator, whereas previously, these types of requests were processed through a Planning Commission variance process. The following includes some of the deviations allowed through this new process:
Maximum increase of 10% for the maximum floor area ratio.
Maximum decrease of 20% to minimum planting area or dimensional requirements.
Decrease in loading spaces with appropriate justification.
Allowing alternative methods of screening mechanical equipment.
Allowing up to 20% reduction in yard setbacks (provided a minimum setback remains).
Large Family Day Care
Now permitted without a conditional use permit contingent on compliance with requirements as stated in zoning ordinance, previously the conditional use permit process would add weeks to the permit review process. (Section 18.20.080)

Kandi Technologies Negotiates New EV Expansion Agreement to Gain Access to Hainan Province
2012-11-5 16:10:18 (Page Views:1277)
JINHUA, China, Nov. 5, 2012 -- Kandi Technologies, Corp. (the 'Company' or 'Kandi') (KNDI), a leading Chinese manufacturer and developer of pure electric vehicles (EVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), today announced that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd ('Kandi Vehicles') has recently negotiated, conditional upon approval by the board of directors of the Company, a framework agreement (the 'Framework Agreement') with Wanning city government of Hainan Province, under which Kandi intends to expand into Hainan's pure EV market by establishing and investing in a manufacturing plant that will have the capacity to produce key components and parts for up to 100,000 EVs annually.
Often referred to as "the Hawaii of the Far East," Hainan Province with a population of 7.86 million, is China's largest special economic zone and the only tropical beach destination in China. On January 4, 2010, the State Council designated Hainan as an international tourism island. As a national strategic deployment, China has announced plans to build Hainan Province, by year 2020, into a world-class travel and leisure destination with a strong focus on eco-friendly tourism as well as various Green technology industries. The government plans bode well for the future growth of the manufacture and use of pure electric vehicles in Hainan.
Having conducted months of thorough due diligence and rounds of negotiation since Kandi Technologies was invited to Hainan by both provincial and city governments, the Company has reached this Framework Agreement with Wanning City. Some of the main contents of the Agreement include the following:
A. The Hainan manufacturing facility will be built by Kandi. When fully completed and reaching its ultimate production capacity, the facility is expected to generate up to RMB 3 billion of annual revenue;
B. The Wanning City will list this Kandi project as a top priority and apply for various preferential policy supports from the province government in Hainan;
C. The Wanning City will provide Kandi up to 500 mu (or about 82 acres) of land at a favorable price to build the manufacturing plant;
D. Upon the initial investment by Kandi, Wanning City will work actively to gain national, provincial and municipal supportive policies for the EV industry, and will fully promote the use and acceptance of Kandi EVs as well as its business model in Hainan province. In principle, the government will have a special subsidy policy for no less than 20,000 EVs every year;
E. Kandi will receive favorable tax incentives and rebates from Wanning City;
F. Kandi agrees to complete the construction of the manufacturing base within two years of obtaining the favorable land-use rights.
Mr. Xiaoming Hu, Chairman & CEO of Kandi commented, "We are honored to be selected and invited by Wanning City to enter into Hainan pure EV market. We are also grateful for all the support we have received and soon to be granted by all levels of Hainan government, which will implement numerous tailored supportive polices for Kandi. The cooperation between Wanning city and Kandi Technologies is deemed as a great stride for Kandi to become the leading pure EV manufacturer and solution provider in China. In the meantime, Kandi is confident that we will establish a strong market share in Hainan province."

GIP tables bid for Portuguese airports
Global Infrastructure Partners has partnered with Brazilian motorway operator CCR and Flughafen Zurich, the owner of Zurich airport, to bid for ANA, the state-backed owner and operator of eight Portuguese airports.
GIP faces competition for the operation from three other suitors, including French construction major Vinci, Argentina's Corporacion America, and a consortium comprising Australian infrastructure fund Industry Funds Management and Germany's Fraport.
ANA is likely to fetch £2bn in a fire sale Lisbon is seeking to complete by the end of the year, as it tries to honour the conditions of a rescue package from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.

As proof of custom challenge coins being in demand in the market, there have been many websites offering to produce these coins at the right price and quantities. Since the turn of the millennium, these kind of coins have begun to capture people's attention so much that people pay good money to acquire these coins. Despite the number of different and unique coins, which is still increasing at the moment, many people are collecting these coins and they will not stop unless their collection is complete. And because the production of new coins are never ending, these people ensure that they have enough money to purchase these coins when new ones become available.
Because there are already many websites or companies who produce these custom challenge coins, different producers offer different marketing gimmicks to attract potential customers. These marketing gimmicks include wholesale purchases, varying discounts, fast production, easy delivery, and so on. Because people nowadays have a lot less time to do stuff other than house and office tasks, they prioritize or patronize companies that takes only a little of their time. People like companies who offer hassle-free and easy to understand choices and packages for these coins. People like to see those producers who have free shipping, very fast delivery time, easy to understand selection of what coins are available for purchase, and so on. Also, because money is difficult to earn these days, those who have the vanity to collect these coins may want some discounts or some freebies. They may want, aside from free delivery, a no-added-cost-clause for some unique features of these coins, such as having no additional payment for the patterns or template for the coins, discounts for bulk packages, free customization features, and so on.
Now, for those people who are really into these custom challenge coins, and for those who could really afford these coins, meaning they have the resources to make a collection of these coins, money is not the issue for them. Affordability may not be their best priority, which means that what they are after is a very wide selection of available coins. At a reasonable cost , these people will purchase any coins of their liking, which depends on their preference. Because of this, these people may want producers who have a variety of coins with distinct offers such as an unlimited choice of customization of profiles, unlimited art designs, different templates to choose from, maybe an interactive customization of coins for easier design distinction, and so on.
In the long run, because of their inherent needs, people will continue to patronize these custom challenge coins as time goes by. Generally, different people want different things from producers of these coins. This could probably the main cause why there are now so many producers of these coins who have different offers. This could also probably explain why there is a boom in the public interest of these coins. Also, because different people have different purposes on why they want to acquire such coins, different companies target different customers depending on their choices. From a business standpoint, companies who cater to various classes of people will find an easier time earning money from this business venture. Although nothing is certain, as long as there are people out there who has a vanity for collecting these coins, production of these coins will never cease. As long as there is a need for recognition, people will buy these coins. As long as there are producers of these coins, and as long as there are new design, source, of meaning to the coins, new coins will be produced, and they will ultimately be purchased. And as long as there are purchases of these coins, these coins will never cease to exist.

Company's Coming Layered Ziti Casserole
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 30 mins
I like to make this for family get-togethers. It's nice because you can make it up ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to cook. In fact, I think it tastes better if you do!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb dry ziti pasta
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, for boiling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 lb ground beef
- 1⁄2 lb sweet Italian sausage
- 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) package provolone cheese, sliced
- 3⁄4 cup sour cream
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
- 4 green onion tops, diced
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Grease a large deep casserole dish or lasagna pan. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding 1 t kosher salt and 1 t olive oil. Add pasta and cook 8 minutes. Pasta should still be firm. Drain.
- Fry onion, garlic, ground beef and Italian sausage in remaining olive oil over medium high heat until browned. (Remove casings from sausage first.) Add spaghetti sauce and reduce heat to low. Add salt if needed.
- In prepared dish or pan, layer half the cooked pasta, all the provolone, all the sour cream, and all the ricotta. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the ricotta and some fresh ground pepper to taste. Next, Layer all the green onions, and half the meat sauce. Next layer the remaining pasta, all the mozzarella, the remaining meat sauce and top with the parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes, or until cheeses have melted. (If you have it layered in a smaller, deep casserole dish, it will take longer to cook than if you have it layered in a more shallow larger lasagna pan.).
Most Helpful
This is a very flavorful, hearty meal for a large family or family/company gathering. It was fairly easy to make and delicious. This is a nice change from lasagna.
excellent dish. i mixed the ziti with some of the sauce to make sure it was well-coated. had to use plain yogurt cuz i was out of sour cream, but it was still yummy. this is also a perfect dish to take to potlucks.
Very Good. I made this without any of the meat and it came out great. Much better than traditional baked Ziti. Thanks for a great recipe, I'll definately be making this again!

Notre Dame Women's Basketball
Notre Dame vs. UCLA
November 18, 2010
Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center - Notre Dame, Ind.
Notre Dame Head Coach Muffet McGraw
Opening Statements...
"I thought that we would play better defensively. We really did a poor job in our man-to-man, and didn't help each other out. We missed a lot of free throws, and I didn't think we got to the line enough. They made big plays. When we got the lead, we didn't go down and make a defensive stand. We finally got the lead, and then we turned it over, and then they scored. I thought we looked young out there. Not having Brittany in the line up was big. She is our calming force out there. Natalie made some great plays to get the lead back, and then we just couldn't get a stop. The two-on-one layup was really tough to watch. We have a lot of work to do. 27 turnovers and 10 of 19 from the line is not going to win a lot of games. I thought Dixon played well, and she was a force inside for them. We just a lot of things to work on."
On getting ready for Kentucky on a short turnaround...
"Yeah, I think we can. We're competitive and we want to win. If we get Brittany back, that will help, but if we don't, then someone else is going to have to step up. Natalie played well out there. I just think that we're going to get better if we can learn from this."
On Morris's three pointer with ten seconds left to go in regulation...
"We were in zone on that one. Somebody just didn't get out. That was the wing not getting out quick enough."
On missing a lot of wide open layups in the first half...
"I thought we shot ourselves in the foot in the first half. We could have had the lead early on, but we just kept having possession after possession where we just couldn't score. We have to put those baskets in next time, and I'm confident that we will. The good news is that we got good shots, so I think that's a positive."
UCLA Head Coach Nikki Caldwell
On the game in general...
"I think the thing about this team, and, I've said it from day one, is their resilience. It showed tonight by sending the game into double overtime. I'm very proud of these young ladies, their commitment to push themselves early on and on the road. A year ago this team probably would not have been able to win. Darxia Morris sat out most of the first half but then came in during the second half and scored big baskets for us. I thought that she did a good job on a great player, an All American candidate, Skylar Diggins, and really trying to make her work ninety-four feet. This team still has a lot of growing yet to do."
On the last play of regulation and the last play of the first overtime...
"You never know how things are going to play out. And my team didn't quit. If we're going to go down, we're going to go down the right way. At the end of the day, it's all about the playmakers coming up with the plays."
On using the defense to frustrate the Irish...
"I thought that we did that in the first half. And we did get that stretch where we were forcing some turnovers. We were doing a much better job of keeping them off of the boards during our transitional stretch and that helped a lot with our lead. These are the fundamentals, you've got to finish off your defense. We didn't do that at times, which gave them second and third opportunities."

This chapter and the next two chapters are all about how we work with the calendar. So let's begin by viewing the calendar. Here we are in OWA and the easiest way to get to the calendar is to drop to the bottom of the Navigation pane and click Calendar. So here we are in our Calendar. In Outlook, which is the full PC client for Exchange in the 2010 version, and here in OWA 2010, we have a new set of combined views that allow me to look at one day, a work week, defined as Monday through Friday by default, but this is something you can change in the Options, a week Sunday through Saturday, if you prefer to start on Monday you can change that as well and then a Month View that shows me my entire month.
If I'm in any view and want to go to Today for example, if I'm on February 1st in a Day View, I could automatically click Go to Today to display a calendar that would include Today. Today's view is really rich because it has lots of information in it about what I'm doing today. I move from one time period to another, whether it's a day or a week or a month, using these arrows. Here's the next day that's tomorrow, here is Friday. But if I'm in my Month View, I'm switching from February to March to April and so on.
In my Navigation pane in this view, what I have is a feature called the Date Navigator. If I want to go to a particular day, I simply find that day in the Navigator and click on it to display it, just like that. I can also click the dropdown arrow at the top of the Navigator and go to a particular month or a particular year. So this is the three months behind me, the three months in front of me but I can go right to 2015 for example in January.
Now the Navigator is there, but I am still looking at tomorrow. So when I want to actually see a date there, I need to click, or a month. Below the Date navigator, I have a section where it displays calendars. I have a calendar. This is the calendar in my mailbox. It's my Exchange Calendar that I'm viewing here in OWA, but as you will see later in this course, there are other calendars that I can potentially open because other users say hey you can see my calendar as well. And then at the bottom I have the folders list just like I would have when I was looking at my email.
So let's go back to Today, to this month, here at the bottom. Notice a couple of other features. First, Today has an orange border around it; the date for today is orange. Now if I change my theme to another theme, it won't be orange it will be some other color that shows up. For example here it's going to change all my colors, but it will be some highlighted color. Now it's purple for example. So if you're looking for Today, look for the border and the difference in color.
That's the first thing. Next if I want to view more of today in this view the Month View, notice that there is a down arrow. It's an expander that will actually expand today. You're going to see that only in that Month View. Here I'm going to scroll to see all of the day and in the Day View again I will scroll to see all of the day. But in the Month View I can get the overview of my entire calendar and then say ah, show me more and I will see all of the appointments for today.
Let's go back to Today in Day View and I want to show you difference between two appointments. This appointment actually exists. It has been accepted, it's real, it's as you would say on my calendar. So I actually had lunch with Mark and we met in the lobby. I can tell it's my past, well, not just because I had lunch and I am aware I've eaten, but here is the time indicator right here in the day. It's just after two o'clock right here and we can see that, that's what that orange line is for here.
This meeting is grayed out. This is a meeting that you might say to somebody I'll pencil you in. It's tentative. It hasn't been accepted yet. This is actually an invitation that I'm receiving from Judith that I need to reply to. So when I select my lunch with Mark, I just see information about it over here on the right. But when I select this meeting it is ready for me to do something with it, to accept it or to turn it down, and it says I should please respond. We'll be learning how to do that in another chapter, but that's the difference between something that's on your calendar, definitely and an item that is waiting for you to actually accept it into your calendar.
This is an invitation that we haven't yet taken advantage of. Two more features to quickly look at; I have the ability to share my calendar and other people can share theirs with you and we'll do that right up here at the top in any view, whether we are looking at a week or a day. We also have the choice to have a Reading pane that displays on the right or not, and we saw that earlier. Now it's on by default in day view, it's not on by default in Work Week or Week View, but I like having it in every view because I can select things and see the preview.
So that's up to you to have it off or on in each of these four different views that are combined to give you a good look at your Calendar. And then finally I have the ability to print this calendar. Now I'm looking at a Work Week view right now. So when I click Print, I'm going to get the option to print a Work Week view. That's what's here by default. I can print a detailed agenda along with my calendar. I can say I want to print from eight to five, or I can say no, I actually I'd like to print starting at seven in the morning even though I'm not working then until seven at night because sometimes I have things after hours.
I get to set this up. I have a choice of some print views. I can do a Horizontal Agenda that looks like this. I can do a Vertical Agenda, a little bit more like that. I can also switch and say I want to print a day and the day will print is the day that I am on and I can choose to print a Month View as well. This only prints workdays. When I turn that checkbox off, I get the entire week. So these are all the different ways that I can print. The easiest and fastest way to print is to say if I'd like a Day View, go to a Day, click Print, because it will automatically bring up the Day View and I can say I'd like to have a detailed agenda along with that or a narrower calendar so I have room for notes next to it on my paper.
Choose the view you want, fire up that print view and you'll be in good shape to print. So no matter how we're working with calendars and which calendars we work with, this is our basic set of tools that allows us to view and to print our calendar from OWA.
