Whoever Wins, We're Winning Too: ARM Holdings Posts Record Earnings

2012 looks bright for ARM, even as competitors drop off
ARM Holdings plc (
) is an innovator who's been to hell and back. Born from the 1984 Acorn RISC Machine project, ARM grew under the financial investment Apple, Inc. (
) and its UK parent Acorn Computers. But mounting financial troubles at Acorn -- and to a lesser extent -- Apple threatened to sink ARM Holdings as the 90s approached. A
bold spinoff
ultimately saved the profitable unit. Divestment of stakes in the spinoff saved Apple, although it was not enough to stop Acorn from sinking.
I. Apple's Record Profits Mean Big Profits for ARM
The brave little castaway grew from a glorified R&D project into a giant of the electronics world. From modest beginnings in hard drive and appliance microcontrollers, ARM would go on to define itself as the mobile processor architecture of choice. Virtually every smartphone and tablet sold today carries a chip that either uses
ARM's proprietary core designs
, or at the very least licenses ARM's instruction set. Today there are by far more ARM CPUs in the wild than any other kind of CPU -- including Intel Corp.'s (
) traditional PC chips.
2011 was a landmark year of ARM. While ARM has yet to wholly knock Intel out of the game, it's done its best over the last few years to marginalize it, as people have turned away time-wise from the traditional personal computer and flocked to its mobile evolution, the smartphone.

2011 saw Android
surge out to a big lead
, and then slow slightly. Towards the end of the year, in Q4 2011, ARM's old ex-investor Apple
charged back with the iPhone 4S
. But all of these phones had at least one important thing in common -- they all use ARM CPUs and they all funneled royalties/license fees to ARM Holdings.
ARM Holdings
its Q4 results on Monday afternoon, and once again it blew past analyst estimates. It pulled in 137.8M £ ($218.4M USD) in revenue -- up 20.9 percent over last year's total of 113.95M £ ($180.61M USD). The company's pre-tax profit was 69M £ ($109M USD), up 45 percent from 47.6M £ ($75.4M USD) in Q4 2010. The net profit was 33.1M £ ($52.5M USD) up from 29.7M £ ($47.1M USD).

Analysts estimated that the company would deliver a revenue of 123.6M £ ($195.9M USD) and a pre-tax profit of 55.8M £ ($88.4M USD).
Warren East, Chief Executive Officer cheers, "In Q4 and throughout 2011 ARM has seen strong licensing growth, driven by market-leading semiconductor companies increasing their commitment to ARM technology, and more new customers choosing ARM technology for the first time. We have also seen our royalty revenue continue to grow faster than industry revenues as the ARM Partnership gains share in our target markets..."
II. Record Run Expected to Continue as ARM Attacks New Markets
Smartphones proved the biggest boost for ARM Holdings. In a phone conference Chief Financial Officer Tim Score said that a single smartphone could earn ARM as much revenue as five to ten feature (voice-only) phones.
Over 2.2
ARM CPUs shipped in Q4 2011, and the company shows no signs of slowing down. It added 25 new licensees in Q4 2011. Among them is Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) who is cooking up
the world's first ARM-based servers
. ARM also looks to invade the laptop segment, with the launch of Microsoft Corp.'s (
ARM-friendly Windows 8
ARM will power Windows laptops and tablets later this year. After sluggish delivery by Intel, Microsoft finally opened the gates to ARM and its partners with the new OS.

Even as chipmakers like Intel have slashed their outlets due to sluggish sales expectations for 2012, ARM is posting bold predictions. It expects revenue to rise to 126.2M £ ($200M USD) or more in calendar Q1 2012. And it expects a total revenue of 542.6M £ ($860M USD) for the the year.
The future looks truly bright for ARM as it maintains its ubiquitous dominance of the mobile space and begins to expand into new markets.

The article "FEMA troubles no shock to previous chief" reports the thoughts of former head of FEMA Joe Allbaugh:
[He says:] "FEMA has been broken for quite some time..."
The FEMA that he directed did a good job responding to the 9-11 terrorist attacks four years ago, he said. But now it suffers as one of 22 agencies rolled into the new Department of Homeland Security.
"Functions have been moved out of FEMA. Budgets have been cut and used elsewhere," he said. He added that moving FEMA into Homeland Security had added a "couple of layers" of bureaucracy.
The DHS reponds that the move got rid of redundant functions.
...After years of dealing directly with Mr. Bush, the new department structure would add just "further layers" of bureaucracy between him and the president, Mr. Allbaugh said.
"It just didn't make any sense to me," he said...
His business, the Allbaugh Group, represents a pair of large engineering and construction companies - the Halliburton subsidiary KBR and the Shaw Group - that could gain from Katrina work. He said he doesn't lobby for them but rather does special projects and long-term strategic planning. It wouldn't bother him, he said, if there were lifetime lobbying bans for those who served in high government posts.
"It wouldn't hurt me - no skin off my nose or money out of my pocket," he said, "because it's not what I do."
No, not as long as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, and the rest of the Democrats are in charge the looting will continue. However, in "Hurricane looting not over yet", the Right Rev is concerned with the more Republican form of looting:
...Already Halliburton is on hand with a no-bid contract for reconstruction.
Actually, I think what they're doing is covered by a pre-existing contract.
...Fluor, Bechtel, the Shaw Group -- Republican-linked firms -- are lining up for contracts. Lobbyists like Joe Allbaugh, close friend of George Bush, and James Lee Witt, close friend of Bill Clinton -- both former heads of the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- are advising their corporate clients to get teams on the scene. Normal rules of contracting and competition are being waived in the emergency. Big bucks are on the table. It is a time to be wired politically.
Actually, the Shaw Group appears to have some Democratic connections...
The ideologues are in the hunt, too. Newt Gingrich is circulating memos calling for turning the region into a massive enterprise zone, slashing corporate taxes, reducing regulations. The oil lobby is pushing for drilling in Alaska and off the shores of the United States. Right wing activist Grover Norquist calls for cutting taxes on the wealthy even more to stimulate the economy. Arizona Republican Rep. Jeff Flak [sic, appropriately enough it's "Flake"] suggests conservatives use the crisis to try out their favorite ideas -- vouchers for education and health care...
The Bush administration's inaction and indifference after Katrina hit abandoned the poor and added to their suffering. It would be tragic now if action by the Republican Congress and the Bush administration added to the misery...
He does have some semi-good ideas, like reviving the pseudo-socialistic Civilian Construction and Conservation Corps. The problem, of course, is that behind the good ideas flows a river of race-baiting and Democratic looting.
Companies with ties to the Bush White House and the former head of FEMA are clinching some of the administration's first disaster relief and reconstruction contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
At least two major corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, President George W. Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the battered Gulf Coast.
One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former head of Halliburton...
See also "Halliburton taps $500 million Katrina contract; Allbaugh connection".
From "In Storm's Ruins, a Rush to Rebuild and Reopen for Business":
Private contractors, guided by two former directors of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other well-connected lobbyists and consultants, are rushing to cash in on the unprecedented sums to be spent on Hurricane Katrina relief and reconstruction.
From global engineering and construction firms like the Fluor Corporation and Halliburton to local trash removal and road-building concerns, the private sector is poised to reap a windfall of business in the largest domestic rebuilding effort ever undertaken...
Some experts warn that the crisis atmosphere and the open federal purse are a bonanza for lobbyists and private companies and are likely to lead to the contract abuses, cronyism and waste that numerous investigations have uncovered in post-war Iraq...
From the Bush administration? Never!
...Joe M. Allbaugh, a close friend of President Bush, the president's 2000 campaign manager and the FEMA director from 2001 to 2003, and James Lee Witt, an Arkansan close to former President Bill Clinton and a former FEMA director, are now high-priced consultants, and they have been offering their services to companies seeking or holding federal contracts in the post-hurricane gold rush...
WASHINGTON - The three top jobs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency under President Bush went to political cronies with no apparent experience coping with catastrophes, the Daily News has learned...
...FEMA's No. 2 man, deputy director and chief of staff Patrick Rhode, was an advance man for the Bush-Cheney campaign and White House. He also did short stints at the Commerce Department and Small Business Administration.
Rhode's biography posted on FEMA's Web site doesn't indicate he has any real experience in emergency response.
In addition, the agency's former third-ranking official, deputy chief of staff Scott Morris, was a PR expert who worked for Maverick Media, the Texas outfit that produced TV and radio spots for the Bush-Cheney campaign. In June, Morris moved to Florida to become FEMA's long-term recovery director...
...FEMA also is hampered by several midlevel and regional director's jobs currently held by acting directors...
...Government sources blame Bush's first FEMA director, Joe Allbaugh, with turning FEMA into a patronage shop...
And, from "Top FEMA officials have scant experience in disaster management":
The department's No. 3 official, acting deputy chief of staff Brooks Altshuler, also does not have emergency management experience, according to FEMA spokeswoman Natalie Rule...
Rhode and Altshuler both worked in the White House's Office of National Advance Operations, which arranges the president's travel and scripts his appearances.
The credentials of top FEMA managers stand in contrast to the backgrounds of leaders of the agency during the Clinton administration.
Clinton-era FEMA Director James Lee Witt headed the Arkansas office of emergency services before he was tapped by Clinton in 1993 to run the federal disaster relief agency.
Witt's top aides in 2000, Lynn Canton and Michael Armstrong, both ran regional FEMA offices for at least three years before assuming senior positions with the agency in Washington.
Yesterday, Errol Louis in the NYDN was one of the first of the anti-Michael Brown wave:
...Behind the tears, you could hear that Nagin and Broussard know full well what outsiders are only beginning to understand: They are part of a system of government that is broken at all levels, rife with cronyism and corruption and their inevitable consequence, incompetence.
Federal investigators are probing corruption in the administration of former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial. A man named Glenn Haydel, who is Morial's uncle, is currently facing federal embezzlement charges for allegedly steering $550,000 from the New Orleans public transport system, the Regional Transit Authority, to his own management company - and putting $350,000 of that sum into a personal bank account.
Nagin, a political outsider elected as a reformer, has demonstrated significant limitations as a crisis manager. But he needed and deserved a smooth-running, fully funded public transport and it seems likely that chiselers and crooks in government denied it to him.
The rot extends to the federal level, where much of the nationally televised incompetence and confusion in the gulf region can be traced to the disastrous patronage hire of Michael Brown as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Brown, utterly unqualified for the job, spent the last decade running a trade association of horse breeders...
"Significant limitations" indeed.
It all fits together! According to this not-exactly-credible report:
Among his many acts of service, Allbaugh was reportedly the man dispatched to clean out Bush's Texas National Guard file prior to the 2000 presidential campaign.
It does, however, have this useful but unconfirmed bit of information:
In March 2003, the Bush administration degraded matters further by demoting FEMA from a Cabinet-level agency to a division of the freshly spawned Department of Homeland Security. The merger involved a nonsensical split in the government's disaster-response duties: FEMA would remain in charge of disaster response efforts on the ground, but DHS was placed in charge of disaster-response planning.
In February, Joe Allbaugh's company registered to become a lobbyist for Kellogg, Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary. KBR is currently tapping a $500 million contract to do emergency repairs related to Katrina.
A leftie site says:
Just last week, the Wall Street Journal reported, "Senate Appropriations staffers warn business lobbyists are maneuvering to tack on special-interest amendments" to the hurricane supplemental spending bill.
Was Allbaugh one of those maneuvering behind the scenes to get Halliburton a piece of the $10.5 billion pie that Congress recently passed for hurricane disaster relief?
The Palm Beach Post joins in:
Before he began working for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown spent a decade enforcing rules for the International Arabian Horse Association. And people wonder why FEMA did so poorly last year in Florida and last week on the Gulf Coast. Along with the rebuilding of that region must come the rebuilding of FEMA, and that must begin with the firing of Michael Brown.
How incompetent is Mr. Brown? Last Thursday, he said FEMA hadn't known that people were stranded at the New Orleans convention center, even though CNN had had the story on the air Wednesday. We know Mr. Bush doesn't read newspapers, but can't someone watch TV every now and then? This, though, is what happens when you put an unqualified political appointee into an important job and keep him there.
Mr. Brown got to FEMA not because he knew anything about disaster relief. He was a friend of Joe Allbaugh, who with Karl Rove and Karen Hughes formed the troika that ran President Bush's 2000 campaign...
... Florida's Hurricane Summer should have shown the White House that Mr. Brown is incompetent. FEMA paid victims who weren't victims and has stalled on payments to places where Frances and Jeanne really did strike. Supply drop-offs were scheduled, then canceled without notice. Reimbursement rules were confusing and remain so...
Michael Hitzlik of the L.A. Times offers a less-than-trustworthy screed dismissing FEMA head Michael Brown, Bush, conservatism, and on and on. While it has some interesting quotes, I hesitate to wonder which of them are taken out of context:
New Orleans is, or should be, the graveyard of the conservative ideology that government is useless. An American city is reduced to Third World desperation as people who own nothing scrounge for necessities in a sea of waste and federal officials offer lame excuses about how their disaster plans would have worked fine had there not been, you know, a disaster. The president, at the head of a global power that can't get its own troops or supplies off their bases to reach the needful, whines, "The private sector needs to do its part."
This deplorable performance has deep roots. Joe M. Allbaugh, a Bush campaign hack without any crisis management experience who was named director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, disparaged federal disaster assistance as "an oversized entitlement program" before Congress in 2001. The public's expectations of government in a disaster situation, he said, "may have ballooned beyond what is an appropriate level." He advised stricken communities to rely for help on "faith-based organizations … like the Salvation Army and the Mennonite Disaster Service."
If Allbaugh were not an amateur, he would have known that communities, "faith-based organizations" and the private sector become overwhelmed by disasters more modest than this one. In a crisis the federal government should be the first responder, not the last, to take charge, not wait to be asked.
Cynicism on such a scale is self-perpetuating. Determined to portray government as little but an intrusion into people's lives, this gang made it irrelevant to hundreds of thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina - thus giving them, and us, good reason to be cynical after all.
The federal officials assigned to New Orleans have displayed an appalling combination of arrogance and ignorance. Thursday evening on NPR, I heard Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who oversees FEMA, dismiss reports of thousands of refugees trapped at the New Orleans convention center for days without sustenance. He called the reports, in so many words, "rumors and anecdotes..."
While New Orleans might be the graveyard of Bush's "compassionate conservatism", otherwise known as corruption, pandering, corporatism, and patronage, it should also be the graveyard of something else: "liberalism", otherwise known as racial divisiveness and the horrific idea that you help people by making them dependent on the State.

The legendary Piano Man and the blues guitarist rock the first weekend of the annual music and culture festival.
Headliners Billy Joel and John Mayer led both traditional musicians and mainstream acts lined up for the first weekend of the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Diverse acts from both within New Orleans and around the globe joined the opening weekend of the ten-day feast celebrating the music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana.
In a rare live gig, six-time Grammy Award winner Joel performed a nearly two-hour set of his hits, this one being only his second full-length show in the past three years. The 63-year-old singer/songwriter captivated the throng of thousands that came to watch and hear him with his kick-off song "Movin' Out", followed by a dedication to the people of New Orleans who were hit by hurricane Katrina via the song "Miami 2007 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)".
Joel soon after made another dedication, this time to Boston with "The Downeaster Alexa" before dishing out a string of his hits "We Didn't Start the Fire", "It's Still Rock & Roll to Me", "Only the Good Die Young", and "You May Be Right". For his encore, Joel and his band played "The River of Dreams" and in the end, capped it all off with the song that started it all for Joel, "Piano Man".
Meanwhile, Mayer returned to Jazz Fest after missing out on it last year due to his throat problem. "Sorry we missed you last year. Thank you for coming back and checking us out," the 35-year-old singer told the crowd. Mayer did a cover of the Muddy Waters classic "I Got My Mojo Working" as well as his own versions of the hits "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith and "Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" by Grateful Dead.

Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens has reiterated that inflation would be no bar to a cut in interest rates if needed to support the economy, while highlighting the challenges ahead as a long boom in mining investment came to an end.
In a speech titled "Economic Policy after the Booms", Mr Stevens also welcomed the recent decline in the local dollar and said a further fall would not "surprise".
"We have been saying recently that the inflation outlook may afford some scope to ease policy further if needed to support demand," Mr Stevens told a charity lunch. "The recent inflation data do not appear to have shifted that assessment."
The dollar took a hit in the wake of the RBA chief's speeching, falling 1.25 cents to 90.7 US cents as markets upped their bets on a rate cut next week to 89 per cent.
That's a loss of 2 US cents since early yesterday. The Aussie was buying 92.87 US cents in the very early hours of Tuesday morning.
Consumer prices data out last week showed underlying inflation ran around 2.4 per cent in the second quarter, well within the RBA's long-term target band of 2 to 3 per cent.
Those figures had fanned speculation the RBA will cut interest rates another quarter point at its policy meeting on August 6, taking them to a record low of 2.5 per cent.
Subdued domestic demand, a slowly rising unemployment rate and a benign inflation background all underline the case for further stimulus.
Indeed, a surprisingly weak report on approvals to build new homes published earlier today only added to the pressure for an easing - one reason markets are pricing in a three-in-four chance of a move next week.
Mr Stevens played down concerns that rising home or asset prices might stand in the way of a cut, saying that low rates were intended to nudge investors toward taking slightly more risk.
"There are clearly signs of policy working in this respect, though not, to date, by so much that we see a serious impediment to further easing, were that to be appropriate from an overall macroeconomic point of view," he said.
The central bank last cut rates in May, aiming to enliven sectors such as consumer spending and home building. Consumption had been unusually subdued as households chose to boost their savings in the wake of the global financial crisis.
Finding new drivers of growth was crucial as mining investment had peaked after rising strongly for some years.
"That big rise is now over, and a fall is in prospect, with uncertain timing. It could be quite a big fall in due course," said Mr Stevens, adding that this sea-change was likely to drag on overall economic growth over time.
Partially offsetting that drag would be the increased output from all the mining investment. Shipments of iron ore were already growing by around 15 per cent a year, while exports of liquefied natural gas were set to expand strongly from 2015.
Even if the pace of growth in global demand eased, the level of demand would remain structurally much higher than in the past.
"Let's be clear that Australians will continue to benefit from the higher level of resources output for a very long time," said Mr Stevens.
A helpful factor, he added, would be a lower Australian dollar. The currency has fallen around 13 per cent against its US counterpart since April, a windfall to local miners.
"The recent decline in the exchange rate seems to make sense from a macroeconomic perspective," he said. "It would not be a major surprise if a further decline occurred over time."

HTML5 development tools on the rise
HTML5 has been billed as a means for developers to create modern Web applications, complete with support for multimedia functionality like video and Canvas 2D. Its emergence has led to questions about the future of proprietary multimedia plug-ins for browsers, such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight, as HTML5 aims to provide a standards-based way of performing the same functions.
Given developers' increasing interest in HTML5, it's no surprise that tool builders have begun to accommodate it, though HTML5 is still in development. Following is a slate of tools for application developers to incorporate HTML5 into their programs.

Rumor has it, Lauren and her husband Andrew Silverman have agreed to joint custody of their minor son.
Lauren Silverman, who's currently pregnant with Simon Cowell's baby, has settled her divorce battle with her millionaire husband Andrew Silverman. Details of the agreement are not disclosed, but it is believed that they share custody of their 7-year-old son.
"As I've said all along, my priority was resolving this quickly for the sake of our son. Lauren and I both love him very much and I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter in our lives," Andrew says in a statement. "Hopefully people will respect our family's privacy."
"The matter has been resolved and the parties have moved on," Lauren's attorneys, Robert S. Cohen and Bernard Clair confirms in a separate statement. The split is expected to be finalized in the coming days following the settlement.
Lauren and Andrew had been married for 10 years. In his divorce filings, Andrew slammed Simon for "acts of adultery." The former married couple had a pre-nuptials agreement, and Lauren reportedly received a little over $2 million in their divorce.
Simon initially denied he was romantically involved with Lauren. He later spoke out after the baby news broke out, "There a lot of things I will eventually clear up when the time is right, but I really have to be sensitive because there's a lot of people's feelings involved here."
The baby will be Simon's first child. The British media mogul is additionally the godfather of pop singer Sinitta's adopted children.

Calculi (salivary gland stones) removed from the sublingual gland
Sialolithiasis (also termed salivary calculi,[1] or salivary stones),[1] is a condition where a calcified mass forms within a salivary gland, usually in the duct of the submandibular gland (also termed "Wharton's duct"). Less commonly the parotid gland or rarely the sublingual gland or a minor salivary gland may develop salivary stones.
The usual symptoms are pain and swelling of the affected salivary gland, both of which get worse when salivary flow is stimulated, e.g. with the sight, thought, smell or taste of food, or with hunger or chewing. This is often termed "mealtime syndrome".[2] Inflammation or infection of the gland may develop as a result. Sialolithiasis may also develop because of the presence of existing chronic infection of the glands, dehydration (e.g. use of phenothiazines), Sjögren's syndrome and/or increased local levels of calcium, but in many instances the cause is idiopathic (unknown).
The condition is usually managed by removing the stone, and several different techniques are available. Rarely, removal of the submandibular gland may become necessary in cases of recurrent stone formation. Sialolithiasis is common, accounting for about 50% of all disease occurring in the major salivary glands and causing symptoms in about 0.45% of the general population. Persons aged 30-60 and males are more likely to develop sialolithiasis.[2]

The term is derived from the Greek words sialon (saliva) and lithos (stone), and the Latin -iasis meaning "process" or "morbid condition". A calculus (plural calculi) is a hard, stone-like concretion that forms within an organ or duct inside the body. They are usually made from mineral salts, and other types of calculi include tonsiloliths (tonsil stones) and renal calculi (kidney stones). Sialolithiasis refers to the formation of calculi within a salivary gland. If a calculus forms in the duct that drains the saliva from a salivary gland into the mouth, then saliva will be trapped in the gland. This may cause painful swelling and inflammation of the gland. Inflammation of a salivary gland is termed sialadenitis. Inflammation associated with blockage of the duct is sometimes termed "obstructive sialadenitis". Because saliva is stimulated to flow more with the thought, site or smell of food, or with chewing, pain and swelling will often get suddenly worse just before and during a meal ("peri-prandial"), and then slowly decrease after eating, this is termed meal time syndrome. However, calculi are not the only reasons that a salivary gland may become blocked and give rise to the meal time syndrome. Obstructive salivary gland disease, or obstructive sialadenitis, may also occur due to fibromucinous plugs, duct stenosis, foreign bodies, anatomic variations, or malformations of the duct system leading to a mechanical obstruction associated with stasis of saliva in the duct.[2]
Salivary stones may be divided according to which gland they form in. About 85% of stones occur in the submandibular gland,[3] and between 5-10% occur in the parotid gland.[2] In about 0-5% of cases, the sublingual gland or a minor salivary gland is affected.[2] When minor glands are rarely involved, caliculi are more likely in the minor glands of the buccal mucosa and the maxillary labial mucosa.[4] Submandibular stones are further classified as anterior or posterior in relation to an imaginary transverse line drawn between the mandibular first molar teeth. Stones may be radiopaque, i.e. they will show up on conventional radiographs, or radiolucent, where they not be visible on radiographs (although some of their effects on the gland may still be visible). They may also symptomatic or asymptomatic, according to whether they cause any problems or not.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Signs and symptoms are variable and depend largely upon whether the obstruction of the duct is complete or partial, and how much resultant pressure is created within the gland.[1] The development of infection in the gland also influences the signs and symptoms.
- Pain, which is intermittent, and may suddenly get worse before mealtimes, and then slowly get better (partial obstruction).[3]
- Swelling of the gland, also usually intermittent, often suddenly appearing or increasing before mealtimes, and then slowly going down (partial obstruction).[3]
- Tenderness of the involved gland.[3]
- Palpable hard lump, if the stone is located near the end of the duct.[1][3] If the stone is near the submandibular duct orifice, the lump may be felt under the tongue.
- Lack of saliva coming from the duct (total obstruction).[3]
- Erythema (redness) of the floor of the mouth (infection).[3]
- Pus discharging from the duct (infection).[3]
- Cervical lymphadenitis (infection).[3]
Rarely, when stones form in the minor salivary glands, there is usually only slight local swelling in the form of a small nodule and tenderness.[1]
There are thought to be a series of stages that lead to the formation of a calculi (lithogenesis). Initially, factors such as abnormalities in calcium metabolism,[3] dehydration,[2] reduced salivary flow rate,[2] altered acidity (pH) of saliva caused by oropharyngeal infections,[2] and altered solubility of crystalloids,[2] leading to precipitation of mineral salts, are involved. Other sources state that no systemic abnormality of calcium or phosphate metabolism is responsible.[1]
The next stage involves the formation of a nidus which is successively layered with organic and inorganic material, eventually forming a calcified mass.[2][3] In about 15-20% of cases the sialolith will not be sufficiently calcified to appear radiopaque on a radiograph,[3] and therefore be difficult to detect.
Other sources suggest a retrograde theory of lithogenesis, where food debris, bacteria or foreign bodies from the mouth enter the ducts of a salivary gland and are trapped by abnormalities in the sphincter mechanism of the duct opening (the papilla), which are reported in 90% of cases. Fragments of bacteria from salivary calculi were reported to be Streptococci species which are part of the normal oral microbiota and are present in dental plaque.[2]
Stone formation occurs most commonly in the submandibular gland for several reasons. The concentration of calcium in saliva produced by the submandibular gland is twice that of the saliva produced by the parotid gland.[3] The sumbandibular gland saliva is also relatively alkaline and mucous. The submandibular duct (Warton's duct) is long, meaning that saliva secretions must travel further before being discharged into the mouth.[3] The duct possesses two bends, the first at the posterior border of the mylohyoid muscle and the second near the duct orifice.[3] The flow of saliva from the submandibular gland is often against gravity due to variations in the location of the duct orifice.[3] The orifice itself is smaller than that of the parotid.[3] These factors all promote slowing and stasis of saliva in the submandibular duct, making the formation of an obstruction with subsequent calcification more likely.
Salivary calculi sometimes are associated with other salivary diseases, e.g. sialoliths occur in two thirds of cases of chronic sialadenitis,[4] although obstructive sialadenitis is often a consequence of sialolithiasis. Gout may also cause salivary stones,[4] although in this case they are composed of uric acid crystals rather than the normal composition of salivary stones.
Diagnosis is usually made by characteristic history and physical examination. Diagnosis can be confirmed by x-ray (80% of salivary gland calculi are visible on x-ray), or by sialogram or ultrasound.
Some current treatment options are:
- Non-invasive:
- For small stones, hydration, moist heat therapy, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) occasionally, and having the patient take any food or beverage that is bitter and/or sour. Sucking on citrus fruits, such as a lemon or orange, may increase salivation and promote spontaneous expulsion of the stone.
- Some stones may be massaged out by a specialist.
- Shock wave therapy (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy).[5]
- Minimally invasive:
- Sialendoscopy
- Surgical:
- An ENT or maxillofacial surgeon may cannulate the duct to remove the stone (sialotomy).
- A surgeon may make a small incision near the stone to remove it.
- In some cases when stones continually reoccur the offending salivary duct is removed.
- Supporting treatment:
- To prevent infection while the stone is lodged in the duct, antibiotics are sometimes used.
The prevalence of salivary stones in the general population is about 1.2% according to post mortem studies, but the prevalence of salivary stones which cause symptoms is about 0.45% in the general population.[2] Sialolithiasis accounts for about 50% of all disease occurring in major salivary glands, and for about 66% of all obstructive salivary gland diseases. Salivary gland stones are twice as common in males as in females. The most common age range in which they occur is between 30 and 60, and they are uncommon in children.[2]

It was in the warm lighting of Greenwich Village's Judson Memorial Church last month that we remembered how to love. Well, it felt like that, anyway. On October 17, Eleanor Friedberger took over the KEXP stage as part of the station's live broadcast during this year's CMJ Music Marathon. Her band, guitarist Malcolm Perkins, bassist Cassandra Jenkins, keyboardist Michael Rosen and drummer Noah Hecht, backed Friedberger as she enchanted the crowd with minimal bluesy tunes from 2011's Last Summer and this year's Personal Record. If you missed the magic, now you can watch the individual songs, or stream the entire performance, below.

New Delhi, March 6: ONGC and Oil India will buy a 10 per cent stake of the government in Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) at Rs 220 per share next week.
The sale is expected to yield Rs 5,300 crore to the government.
An empowered group of ministers, headed by finance minister P. Chidambaram, had on February 28 decided to sell the stake in IOC at a discount of 10 per cent through an off-market deal.
Sources said the sale price was fixed on the basis of the price of the IOC scrip on February 28. The IOC scrip traded at around Rs 245 on that day, and a 10 per cent discount to that price worked out to be Rs 220 apiece. Also, Rs 220 is the three-month average trading price of the IOC scrip.
The divestment will take place through an off-market transaction, with ONGC and Oil India buying a 5 per cent stake each. The stake sale may take place on March 14 or 15.
ONGC holds 8.77 per cent in IOC.
Although the cabinet had initially cleared the stake sale in IOC through an offer for sale, the finance ministry had to go in for the block deal after opposition from the oil ministry.
The ministry had argued that IOC shares should not be sold through an offer for sale as the current price did not reflect the right valuation of the company.
According to the interim budget of 2014-15, the receipts from divestment for 2013-14 have been revised downwards to Rs 16,027 crore from Rs 40,000 crore.
So far this fiscal, the government has raised about Rs 3,500 crore through stake sale in PSUs.
As far as the government's residual stake sale in private companies is concerned, the interim budget has lowered the revised estimates to Rs 3,000 crore against the earlier projection of Rs 14,000 crore.
The government has set a target to raise Rs 36,925 crore from divestments in the next fiscal, while it aims to pick up Rs 15,000 crore from residual stake sales.

Catwoman: a.k.a. Selina Kyle, has had a few of her own "runs" in the DC universe, and they didn't always stand alone very well, without the aid of a tie-in to Batman, or some of his own villains. Always the seductive, stealthy thief with an obsession with cats, and a certain bat, you can always look to artistic renditions of Catwoman to see the sensuality that is almost non-existent in comics. You'll find it in a handful of titles on a regular basis, but its more T & A written into the story, than a whole character. Since her first appearance in 1940, she's given Bruce Wayne more than just "something" to think about.
Judd Winick writes our "heroine" with aloofness, like the new girl at school that's choke an ox gorgeous, but nobody knows anything about her. But they want to. She's still her own woman, as she always is, but now she's her own woman with a relaunched regular monthly series.
A peek into her "personal" life gives us a portrait of the only real friendship she has, and "work" still manages to be a part of it. With lucky worthless paintings, outstanding cleavage, drunk Russians with guns, and hookers, This series would cause the old Comic Code Authority to explode in shock, and sheer terror and arousal.
Selina Kyle is a character that has a lot of depth that's been explored over the years. The trouble with giving a character depth is that it's pertinent to keep that depth. What with this restructuring of the universe, and having a set creative team for every book, this will give Catwoman an opportunity to be more than a "B" card character.
We see it here, in full force, being taken in to her world that you can certainly see teenage boys getting a kick out of right away as you turn the first page. Comics are very much escapism, and getting away with Catwoman sure sounds like a good idea.

Written by Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski and Drawn by Paul Azaceta
Nicholas Dane, the man who survived a plane crash only to have his fellow passengers' skills and memories shunted into his head, readies for a final confrontation with the mysterious agents chasing him and trying to finish the crash's job as TALENT concludes. He's fixed a marriage with a phone call and saved a boxer's wife from imminent harm, but his next tasks will be a bit more difficult to mix: watch the opening night of a dead playwright's newest effort… and take bloody revenge on those who are after him. One is a bit more pressing, as you might guess, since the plane was blown out of the sky for the purpose of killing the assassin whose thoughts of vengeance are now dominating Dane's mind.
TALENT has always been a clever concept, but the risk at its core was that it could be dragged out forever with little resolution. After all, with hundreds of passengers, Dane's labors could put Hercules to shame. Wisely, however, the creative team put the focus on the most pressing aspect of the story, the original target of the crash, Guerra. The assassin had undergone a change of heart after a recent assignment and wanted out, something his masters could not stomach. By having Nicholas turn his eye towards Guerra's affairs, it allows the story to come to a rousing conclusion and achieve some resolution that pleases the reader.
The script is tight, and as you'd expect, Dane begins to assimilate and understand what is happening to him a bit easier, making him a more effective agent for the dead. It also allows his final battle with his opponents to be more believable. Azaceta delivers on this stuff big-time, showing that he too has assimilated a bit more as the series has progressed. He's very close to becoming an "A"-list talent, and with a few more series like this, he'll be there.
The ending provides exactly what it needs to, and if you were watching this as a film, you'd say it leads you wide open for a sequel, or more obviously, a television show. After all, there is still a larger fight looming over Dane beyond Guerra's masters, and hundreds more souls clinging to his body. The possibilities for TALENT's future are wide open, even as this book concludes. And that is a pretty good thing.
Written by Andrew Cosby and Michael Alan Nelson and Drawn by Greg Scott
When a college professor buys a sets of old books and discovers an old Enigma code from World War Two within one of them, he sets in motion a series of events that leads to multiple murders in ENIGMA CIPHER, the latest from the creative team that's currently bringing you X ISLE from Boom as well. When the professor assigns his students to break the old Nazi code, it puts government assassins on their trail, and only young Casey Williams survives their silencers. Now, on the run, she must find a way to save her life and to figure out exactly why they want her dead.
"Person on the run from government assassins and framed for crimes they didn't commit" is a classic genre at this point, whether in movies (ENEMY OF THE STATE, PELICAN BRIEF) or on TV (NOWHERE MAN, THE FUGITIVE), so what counts is how the story is executed and what the macguffin is. In ENGIMA CIPHER, we get an appealing character in Casey (she's smart enough not to get caught in the traditional ways) and a genuinely intriguing mystery- just what the hell does that old code have to say, anyway? Plus, the pacing has to be swift; you cannot afford to give the audience time to over-think the plot, or they'll start nitpicking. Cosby and Nelson really do a good job at that, almost dragging the reader along with Casey and not giving you a chance to breathe.
I've been fairly critical of the team's other series, X ISLE, so it's nice to see the trio turn out a book that really sizzles with energy and fun. I'll be genuinely interested to see how the back half of this series plays itself out.
Written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis and Drawn by Julia Bax
Never content that they've brought the maximum amount of "bwa ha ha" to our lives, Giffen and DeMatteis return to the scene of one of their recent crimes, the PLANETARY BRIGADE series that delved into the background of HERO SQUARED's Captain Valor and showed a bit more about his life before he came to the HS universe and began making his counterpart Milo into the most miserable man on Earth. Now, the dynamic writing duo has put to the page the exact take of the Brigade's gathering and becoming a team. And as you would expect, it's funny, snarky, and lightweight fun.
The Brigade origin takes its cue from the actual origin of the Hulk. A punk kid wanders into a bomb test site, but in this story, he isn't alone; his twin brother is with him, and when the explosion merges the two men together, they discover that they now have great and horrible powers that they will use for evil. Amongst those powers? The ability to command mutated prairie dogs as his personal army. Needless to say, that draws the interest of the various heroes that populate the world, and the fight is on.
As with most "bwa ha ha" books, the battle is secondary, though. The heart of the book rests within the characters, their interplay, and the absurdist dialogue that spews out of their mouth. In fact, as far as story goes, this may be one of the weaker efforts we've seen out of Giffen and DeMatteis recently, but the word balloons carry this book to victory. Additionally, Boom all-star Julia Bax really delivers some excellent work on the page, and this BRIGADE books looks miles better than the first series. With two issues to go, the story has some time to cohere into something brilliant, but if it doesn't, this will still be worth reading.
Written by Keith Giffen and Mike Leib and Drawn by Kody Chamberlain and Chee
TAG had an incredibly strong first issue, introducing us to Mitchell Tanner and delivering his predicament: a zombie-looking fellow approached him on the street, told him "Tag, you're it," and left Mitch to die… and then wake up.
Now, aided by his ex-girlfriend Izumi, he has to figure out not only why he has been given this curse, but he must also figure out who he is supposed to pass it on to, and to find them before his body decays past the point of being able to "resurrect" itself after he's paid if forward.
Issue two has seen a serious delay, which sort of robs a bit of the momentum from the story from a reader standpoint. But there's some balance, in that this middle chapter explores more about the curse itself, as the duo discovers a website where one man describes his experience with his own "tagging." The living death seems to be a product of "just desserts", as each person sends it on to someone who screwed them over at some point in life. The "tag" turns out to be something you deserve.
Helping to get the book back on schedule, Leib and Chee step in to help finish the book, but thankfully there's no drop-off in quality. Wisely, there's also no easing in the relationship between Mitch and Izumi, as even though she helps him, the tension level between the two is brutal. Hopefully, with the creative help, TAG will end its scheduling stall and deliver the anticipated conclusion sooner, rather than later. Both the book and its readers deserve it.
Written and Drawn by Various
First came zombies, then came Cthulhu, and now Boom's anthology series brings pirates to the page. With ninjas on the way as well, if you're looking for a common thread of any sort, give up. The real common thread is that the anthologies are the publisher's calling card, and that as long as they can keep providing decent material on the page, they'll keep selling well enough to make more. And who knows? We haven't seen anything like a "space" anthology, so there are plenty of genres out there waiting to be tapped for the line.
PIRATE TALES sees the usual mixed bag of stuff; the majority of the stories take the traditional pirate milieu (18th century, the high seas, etc.) and play with it, but the most interesting story in the book, from the pen of screenwriter John Rogers, is set in present day and deals with modern pirates attacking a cruise liner (it still happens, folks). Johanna Stokes and Julia Bax provide a story that pulls a nice reversal on the classic feminine role in the pirate story, and in another fine story, Michael Alan Nelson puts a twist to the romance novel. Fun stuff.
There are a couple duds, as there always are, but the good material here outweighs them. The Cthulhu anthology left me cold, and I was wondering if maybe the Boom anthologies were played out, but PIRATE TALES shows there's life in this line of books yet. Worth your money, for sure.

I used to frequent Newsvine -- obsess over might be a better phrase -- and now I don't. Mostly, I scan the headlines and lurk in the politics and technology sections. The vast majority of my comments are deleted before they're published -- my own doing -- because they're not productive and the people they're aimed at don't deserve the attention.
Today, I saw this:
How likely are you to recommend newsvine.com to a colleague or friend?
3-4 years ago, I wouldn't have hesitated: 10.
Today? Today is a different story: 0.
The inmates are running the asylum. There's no direction on the site. Nasty politics all but overwhelm the front page and the content actually worth reading -- less than 1% of what is posted, probably -- is ruined when nasty political rhetoric takes hold in the comment threads.
Then there's the great content which no one reads because no one finds it.
There's a real Wild West sensibility, an "us or them" mentality, and it's survival of the meanest.
My sense is that there's no real attempt to corral those who actually care about quality content from the best (or at least diverse) sources. This is true of seeds and it's true of original content. (I use the term "original" very loosely.) Calvin Tang used to handle much of the "community" stuff -- he was what is now commonly called a social-media manager, whether that was his official role or not -- and that role hasn't really existed for some time, now.
There's no one to channel energy, to encourage content, to lead by example. Because there's no sense of community, there is instead all of the negative things that I mention above. It's a pretty toxic environment -- maybe not as toxic as some communities -- but it's really bad for anyone who hopes to produce quality content. Most communities start at the bottom and feed there. Newsvine sank from the top. No one who cares about quality (or at least effort) wants to compete against the sort of claptrap that is most commonly featured here.
My 0 is based on the fact that I'd only ever recommend Newsvine to people who care about quality, and I'd hate to waste anyone's time.
With all that said, I've seen Newsvine at its best, and I think there's room to grow even from there. The building blocks are in place. There's still nothing quite like what Mike and Co. built and even though it's gotten bad, no one has stepped up to fill the void. I learned to love social-media and citizen journalism after joining Newsvine, I co-founded my own social site because of the things I learned here, and I'd love nothing more than to see this leader in social-news return to greatness.
Of course, any hope for a meaningful and lasting turnaround depends on where MSNBC wants to take Newsvine and what they're willing to do to get there.
Fill Calvin Tang's vacant role. Harvest and encourage talent. Give quality content a shot, event if that means promoting it artificially rather than democratically. (The popular vote doesn't seem to work.) Promote effort. Discourage lazy rhetoric and me-too seeding.
Give the community something to feed on.

Netflix's (s NFLX) "Watch Instantly" service went on the blink for a time last night, reminding some subscribers (including myself) that there are still perils in streaming video from the cloud.
Hacking Netflix reports that the outage went across the Roku, PC and Xbox platforms, and messages from across the country in the Roku support forums complain of problems. For me, the service hiccuped a few times between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. PDT last night while I was using the Roku. In each case, the video I was watching would stop and a message would pop up asking me to check my network settings. The settings were always fine, and the video restarted and played…until it stopped again.
The service is back up and working now, but it looks like Netflix sticking with its hybrid DVD/streaming strategy is a smart move, as all the kinks and idiosyncrasies of streaming video are still being worked out. This isn't the first patch of trouble to hit the "Watch Instantly" service. In May, streaming to PCs and Macs konked out for six hours, and in March some customers complained of diminished video quality they believed stemmed from Netflix's move to Microsoft's Silverlight player. At that time, the company posted a message to its official blog outlining the difficulties in providing a consistent streaming experience.
We contacted Netflix for an explanation and will update when we hear back.

So here we are. Two and a half men, Charlie Sheen (as Charlie Harper) is out and Ashton Kutcher is the replacement. Now I don't see, because of the age difference, that it is a one-to-one replacement, just a guess, so I have a few questions.
How is the plot to play out?
Who is Ashton Kutcher character to Charlie Sheen (Harper)?
How is this Ashton Kutchers character introduced?
What happens to Charlie Harper?

Best Of :: People & Places
Just keeping kids alive until their 18th birthdays is expensive enough. You shouldn't have to break open their piggy banks to give them the occasional cultural experience. The Dallas Theater Center apparently understands this and offers Pay What You Can nights for select Sunday night preview shows. Drop a not-unreasonable $5 a head with a family of four and you'll get your entire clan in for less than a single ticket might otherwise cost. Or donate nothing, if your conscience lets you. With 2009-2010 productions including It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman, A Midsummer Night's Dream and, of course, the annual performance of A Christmas Carol (which will be presented for the final time in the Kalita Humphreys Theater), there are plenty of opportunities to get them away from the television and let you check out the innovative new Wyly Theatre.
'Bout a year ago, back when Jack's first opened, a buddy of mine convinced us to check the place out, promising that the then-new Oak Cliff spot was gonna be quite the big deal in the very near future. Sure enough, what we saw upon arrival was, indeed, quite the chic, if somewhat hidden, hot spot. And it definitely didn't hurt that there were only two males in the place aside from one of the barkeeps. But it wasn't long before the place started drawing a bigger, more varied mix of patrons, and for good reason: An upscale bar with primo lounge seating, a well-kept pool table and glass garage doors that lead out to one of the best patios the region has to offer. It was only a matter of time before everyone else caught on to what was, if only for a short period of time, the LGBT set's best-kept secret.
What do we want—no, wait—what do we need from a bar for it to be a great bar, a go-to bar or, if the heavens align correctly, a home bar? Ample seating. Clean restrooms. An area outdoors for the smokers. Music. Stomach lining options. Good classic hooch. Great service. A TV to stare at when someone strange is trying to talk to us. A great jukebox. Prices that don't break the bank of hard-working folk who deserve a drink come happy hour. The Windmill Lounge has all of these requirements along with a simply smashing cocktail list, misters on the patio, themed big-screen nights, a cell phone lounge and chalkboard walls in the loo. Oh, and in addition to some chomp-worthy panini, the lounge also offers Triscuits with cream cheese and jalapeño jelly or Pickapeppa sauce.The jukebox at the Windmill Lounge is front-loaded with a well-chosen and diverse selection of standards (Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald), classic soul (James Brown, Curtis Mayfield), Texas singer-songwriters (Guy Clark, Joe Ely) and admirable young artists (Black Joe Lewis, Justin Townes Earle). But flip a few pages and you'll find the music less and less appealing, unless you're toasted, in which case your inner 15-year-old might giddily plop down the credits for bizarre selections like Pink, the Bloodhound Gang and the Anchorman soundtrack. Think of it as the perfect test of musical mettle also—if your date goes for the Barenaked Ladies, then you know it wasn't meant to be. If she cues up Otis Redding, you've got yourself a keeper.
There are plenty of reasons why the Libertine deserves recognition—the traditional pub atmosphere, the friendly faces behind the bar, and the fact that, even though it's not much of a venue, the place does its part to support local music with live performances. But the best reason to love the Libertine? The food offered up by the folks in the kitchen. The burger, the tuna sandwich, the three-way fries—they're all legit. And the best part: the pricing. Or, better yet, the half-pricing: Every Sunday, from 5 p.m. till midnight, this food, which has no right belonging in a straight-up bar like this, is offered at half the cost. Oh, and the reasonably priced, five-course monthly beer dinners ain't too shabby either.
One of the great joys of traveling is trying new beers that are hard to find in your home town. But who has the money to travel these days? Fortunately, if your travel budget has gone from Amsterdam, Germany and Fort Lauderdale to Addison, Garland and Fort Worth, you can still make like a tourist at your nearest Flying Saucer. With an ever-changing draft lineup, there will always be an unfamiliar brew waiting for you. And if you think you've got the liver and the lucre to try 200 different beers, you can join the U.F.O. Club; upon reaching that lofty goal you win a $100 bar tab and a commemorative plate to hang on the wall. Even if you fall short, you still get a T-shirt. Either way, not a bad souvenir.
Here's the deal, Dallas: Considering how important a role the blues played in our city's musical history (y'know, "Deep Ellum Blues," and all that), it's really a goddamn shame how there aren't all that many clubs—well, many clubs worth mentioning, at least—that offer up the genre on a regular basis. Last we heard, there's one coming back to Deep Ellum, thank you very much, in the spot behind the Twisted Root, right where the Red Blood Club used to be. But for the time being, may we recommend the Pearl for your misery-loves-company ways? Located on the east edge of downtown, it's close to our city's historical blues home in Deep Ellum, and with touring and local blues performers coming in on a regular basis—including a Monday happy hour residency from Miss Marcy and her Texas Sugar Daddies—along with a slew of jazz and folk artists, it's the only place we can look you straight in the eye and offer up as a cure for your Lack of Deep Ellum blues blues.

Norway Business Group Sees Long Effort to Rebuild Investor Faith
Norway will need years to smooth out the damage caused by unexpected cuts to gas pipeline tariffs and the withdrawal of support for its export credit lender, according to the head of its biggest business group.
Those moves introduced "uncertainty" and interfered with predictability that investors depend on, said Kristin Skogen Lund, head of the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise, in a Dec. 13 interview at her office in Oslo.
"You can say that we guarantee that this will be untouched for the next" so many years, she said. "Time horizons are a way to bring back predictability."
Investors were dealt a set-back this month after the Conservative-led government agreed to back the tariff decision by the former Labor coalition, a move that's estimated to reduce returns by $6.5 billion. The investors, which spent 32 billion ($5.2 billion) on a 44 percent stake in the gas infrastructure, have said they will take legal action.
Lund said the government will need to provide guarantees that the term of investments will not be changed again.
"The new government has a fresh start to do so," she said.
The tariff cuts came less than 1 1/2 years after Norway ended its support of the erstwhile AAA and now junk-rated lender Eksportfinans ASA. That move roiled bond markets as far away as Japan as the lender's $39 billion in bonds tumbled.
Understandably So
Four months after that move, the government also unexpectedly decided to increase taxes on oil companies.
Gassled's owners, which include Canadian pension funds and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, have said the cuts damage the Nordic country's reputation as a stable and predictable place. The funds have said they won't put money into the country's next gas pipeline, planned in the Arctic Norwegian Sea. Their lenders have also said that a reluctance to invest in Norway could also damage other parts of the economy.
"There have been a couple of examples of policy changes that obviously upsets investors, understandably so," Lund said. "They belong to the exception. Those few examples are unfortunate and will probably have a negative effect on international investors."
While Moody's Investors Service said this month that the events have proven that the risk of "political interference is relatively high" in Norway, a new approach under Conservative leader Erna Solberg's government, which has promised to reduce state involvement in the economy, could improve sentiment. The government will need it as the administration has flagged it will seek to sell stakes in companies including Statoil ASA. (STL)
Norway is western Europe's biggest oil exporter, and has an $810 billion sovereign wealth fund. The country's five-year CDS traded at about 12 basis points, while Germany's stood at 25 basis points. Credit default swaps show Norway is considered the world's safest credit.

As she readies to pass her crown to the next lucky lady, 2009 Miss America Katie Stam has gotten engaged to fiance Brian Irk!
Attending a fundraising event at The Planet Hollywood Towers on Friday night (January 29), Miss Stam's personal trainer beau got down on one knee and popped the question with 600 guests looking on.
This weekend the hottest ladies in the land will be competing for the title of Miss America, and yesterday the Planet Hollywood Theatre in Las Vegas was replete with beauty queens.
The reigning champion, Miss American 2009 Katie Stam helped her potential successors prepare for the grueling competition, looking fancy in a sparkly red dress with her massive tiara.
