ActualitéInstitutionalised Fear and Rubbished Judiciary: Paul Biyas Game Plan to Escape Responsibility for a Failed Nation-State
When Montesquieu wrote his The Spirit of Laws in 1748, he was most probably thinking of future generations. The most accurate of his thoughts were coined in the following words: "power should check power." This argument was set forth as: when legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty, because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws to execute them in a tyrannical manner.
The rationale for Montesquieu writing was to enable the existence of a society where liberty prevails, where rulers are at peace with the ruled, where rulers are held accountable for their acts. In such a society, the legislature makes the laws, the executive executes them and the judiciary enforces and sanctions defaulters of these laws. If this is the ideal society that Montesquieu envisaged, one wonders where Cameroon fines her inspiration. In the quest for an answer to this interrogation, Niccolo Machiavelli's provides an authoritative answer.In The Prince (1532) Machiavelli advises: 'I say that it would be good to be liberal, nonetheless, liberality, when used so that you are held liberal, hurts you. For if it is used virtuously and as it should be used, it may not be recognised, and you will not escape the infamy of its contrary.
Thus, since a prince cannot, without damage to himself, use the virtue of liberality so that is recognized, he should not.' It is assumed that this citation from Machiavelli provides some authoritative background on which to conclude that Machiavelli's philosophy of government is the backbone of present day governance in Cameroon.However, anyone who has meticulously read the Constitution of Cameroon will argue very authoritatively that Cameroon's governance structure is separated between the executive, the judiciary and the legislature. Nevertheless, I hold a contrary view and argue that if written word were action we could talk of a semblance of separation of powers in Cameroon. The glaring examples of recent times are worth mentioning here.
It is common knowledge in Cameroon that after declaring the results of the 1992 presidential elections, the Chief Justice of Cameroon took refuge behind the following words: "my hands were tied" . Whosoever or whatsoever tied his hands remains a matter of public debate. His Honour Judge Soulio (ex tempore) re-echoed the need for equity and good conscience by judges when he said "On a hearing of an application for review the Court must act in accordance with equity, good conscience and the substantial merits of the case" . On Monday August 27, 2012, The Post Newspaper reported that the Fornjidam Judge Confesses he was under Yaoundé Pressure. Without mentioning individual or institutional names this man of the law requested for special prayers from the Archbishop of Douala because his conscience was judging him for sentencing Fornjidam to loss of liberty for life. Any wonder why these two men of the law together with the others of the same profession are either under pressure or have their hands tied? Furthermore, the arrest without charge, incarceration and brutalization of Justice Nyo Wakai, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of La République du Cameroun is indicative of the total disrespect for the concept of an independent judiciary in La République du Cameroun.
The answers to the question above may vary but my opinion is that the heavy handedness of one man, Paul Biya, over the judiciary is the root cause of all these instances of judicial miscarriage in Cameroon. Paul Biya has the right to appoint, promote and dismiss the Minister of Justice, Chief Justices, Advocates-General, Prosecutors and Judges without justification or reason. The same Biya heads and presides over the National Judicial Council. It is interesting to note that this man is the Head of State, National President of the CPDM, President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Cameroon. Little wonder then why our judges open their mouths only after passing judgement.
Lawyers in private practice are left in great astonishment and the practice of their profession is rubbished as their intelligent and learned arguments are most often thrown out by the less experienced and executive appointed judges. Marafa's lawyers can better explain how it was practically impossible for them to cause the court to order Michel Meva Meboutou to tell the whole world who gave him instructions to disburse a whopping 31 million USD to GIA. This apparently malicious refusal to generate provide an important answer that was inevitably going to help in establishing facts and definitely in the administration of justice is a serious cause for concern. In any case, Marafa didn't need a private jet. The person who needed a private jet caused the DG of the National Hydrocarbons Company to disburse the money for the purchase of his private jet though Cameroonians were and are still suffering. It is, therefore, impossible to talk of fair trial when the brains behind the scam were never summoned to the witness box to clarify issues and tell the world who caused the disappearance of such a huge sum of money from our national treasury.
The Marafa affair seems to have been of primordial importance in the life of the fight against corruption in Cameroon given its fast track trial. It may be fair to conclude that his letters from Kondengui and his closeness to power caused panic within the corridors of power in Yaoundé. The fear that he could release more secrets pushed the Yaoundé regime to fast track his trial and see him nailed. How can we reconcile the fact that Marafa has been tried and sentenced while he and Chief Inoni were arrested on the same day and detained at the same time? The docile Inoni has been lucky to appear before the examining magistrate but his case is still to open before the Mfoundi High Court. Their arrests were both linked to the albatross affair. Inoni assisted Marafa as Secretary-General at the Presidency. It is then but logical to conclude that their arrests were connected to the case in question.
Ironically, enough, Inoni's name didn't come up during Marafa's trial as playing a major role in the embezzlement scandal. Unfortunately for Inoni he is still being held in custody. We may conclude that the concept of regional balance that comes into play only when Anglophones are being ripped of something is applied here in Inoni's case. Inoni's case is, therefore, a lesson to all who care to learn from it that if Yaoundé decides to arrest you on any grounds you will be held in detention until they decide to liberate you.
The cases of Inoni, Haman Adama, Olanguena etc. once buttress my contention that judiciary is at the beck and call of one man, Mr. Paul Biya. Independent judges will tell the prosecutors to either file the cases or order the immediate release of the detainees. We are dealing here with judges who cannot act independently. When when shall our judiciary and legislature belong to us? Those who have been transformed to praise-singers may readily hit back at me and say that the judiciary is doing its job. Didn't I hear somebody say: « La justice est indépendante. On la laisse agir et les résultats qui en sortiront, nous les accepterons'
If the judiciary were independent why did the author of the above statement militarise Garoua on the eve of the declaration of the judgement of the Marafa affair? If the judiciary were independent why did the commander in chief of the armed forces deploy heavily armed troops to the Mfoundi High Court whenever Marafa was to appear there? If the judiciary were independent why did the armed troops molest journalists and confiscate their work equipment? Answers to these questions are not far-fetched as Machiavelli had advised the Prince on how to act in certain circumstances. Machiavelli advises the Prince in the following words concerning security and fear: "It is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities but it is important to appear to have them." He goes further to say: "And I dare say this also, that to have them and always to observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright." Well, in our situation, our troops were deployed to maintain peace and order around the Mfoundi High Court and in Garoua because we are loved and our leadership is faithful to its concern for our safety; they are pious and the crowds around the Mfoundi courts might have caused harm on other citizens. Machiavelli's Prince is so religious to his master's teachings.
In the present circumstances, many acclaim Marafa's imprisonment as a step in the right direction. They say Marafa is having a taste of the system he helped build. Such arguments sound just and fair for Marafa was one of the untouchables of the present regime. He was said to be the brain behind rigged elections, behind the constitutional amendment of 2008 and many other ills that befell Cameroon. The question I would like to pose at this juncture is whether Marafa like the Chief Justice and Fornjidam Judge worked under pressure or had his hands tied? From his open letters, one may conjecture that Marafa was under pressure during his tenure in the government of Cameroon.
This pressure inadvertently caused fear in the hearts and minds of servants of the Cameroon nation. When Amadou Ali states that they are waiting for Paul Biya to depart before they get into real business or when Fame Ndongo says that they are all creatures of Paul Biya, it dawns on us that there is institutionalised fear in Cameroon. This definitely is one of the biggest lessons Machiavelli gave to his Prince to wit: "Nevertheless, a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that if he does not win love, he avoids hate, because he can endure well being feared whilst not being hated. Fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails." There is no doubt that the fiercest critics of Cameroon's government are out of the country. Lapiro de Mbanga a firebrand musical critic recently sought and got asylum in the US, he did this because of fear. Due to the institutionalised fear that reigns in Cameroon, one is tempted to believe that Cameroon is a nation at peace.
The contrary is true. We hear how people preach patriotism, national unity, peace, integration and so on but is this what truly happens in Cameroon? I will provide an answer to this question in the exact words of Machiavelli when he says: "One prince, of present time, who is not well to name, never preaches anything but peace and good faith, and to both is most hostile, and either, if he had kept it, would have deprived him of reputation and kingdom many a time." That is the exact situation in Cameroon nowadays.
In a nutshell, suffice it to say that we need a judiciary that is truly free from the shackles of the Executive; a Judiciary that is able to acquit suspects without fear of reprisals from the executive head. We need a legislature that can regain the powers it has lost to the executive, and we need an executive that can respect other branches of government by giving them the right to check her excesses. Until that is done, we shall live in perpetual fear, institutionalised by Paul Biya. Sadly enough, the blame is put on other people while he shirks the responsibility of accepting blame for a failed nation. The governmental apparatus in Cameroon needs to be overhauled. This can be done only if there is a powerful intellectual lobby that seeks ways of replacing the present Machiavellian structures with those proposed by Montesquieu.

i would bodyboard them.. not surf
& i'm going to say b/c i've been thinking it since i read your first post (& i've been drinking): you sound like a kook who has no clue what they're talking about.
i was in ocmd when it hit, i felt a quiver in my house and im 4 houses from the beach but my friends who were on the beach didnt feels a thing. the ground is really loose here from being close to shore so thats probably why we didnt feel it as much
i was actually on the beach when it hit. Once it hit people began bugging out, I watched one family run off the beach and leave all of their belongings. When i got home, a picture actually feel off my wall but it wasn't on the wall very well. I have family in philadelphia that said it shook like crazy there.
I was standing on the beach near Ocean City Md and didn't feel anything and neither did anyone else. When I heard there was an earquake I thought back to remember where I was and had the faintest memory of a big truck rumbling by as I was talking to a friend. The reason that memory was odd is that I was nowhere near a road. Was that it, I don't know but I'm pissed now because I missed a quake back in New Jersey like 1979 when I was in Junior high. Everyone said they felt it except me, I felt so left out.
I was sittin on the beach watching the ECSC at VA beach and i didn't feel a thing, but i walked down to 711 to get a drink and some kids asked if i felt it, so i called my dad who was in chesapeake at my house and he said the whole house was shaking pretty hard but the only thing we could find that fell over was a deoderant stick in my room
You are not surfing 20 foot waves, especially not in Jersey. A 20 foot wave in jersey would require a true hell man. I have surfed 10-12 foot waves on the east coast that were just too damn stressful, I dont think I even have an urge to go any bigger, not without a jet ski. No channels, unpredictable winds, brown ass water...
at atlantic city when the tiny earthquake hit. it was hilarious, of course all the people eavesdropping overheard me and my friends joking about a "tsunami" and freaked out, running to their cars or staring at the horizon for an hour straight. tsunami? its jersey. and the mini quake here was nothing compared to california...on a daily basis ;)

FORMER Westholme pupil and Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan is aiming to steam things up in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!
The 22-year-old is planning to bring some glamour to the jungle as she revealed she is taking three bikinis into the rainforest.
The blonde bombshell said she can't wait to rough it in the wild and show the millions of TV viewers how different she is away from her soap character in real life.
Helen, who quit the Coronation Street cobbles in February after 12 years, said: "People don't expect me to be in the jungle and one of my big reasons for doing I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is I like to have different options. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket and I like to take things how they come.
"I also always go with my instinct too and when the offer came through, it felt right to do this.
"What's so nice about this show is I can go in as me. It won't be my toughest role yet because I am being me rather than someone else.
"People say you make friends for life and so I am really excited about making some new friends in the jungle.
"It will be good to discover things about myself too – my different strengths and weaknesses.
"I will make sure I am tanned, manicured and I have got my lashes on!"
Helen said she is determined to brush off her fears of creepy crawlies and heights when she enters the jungle.
She said: "I will deal with it when I get in there. I deliberately kept myself busy before flying out to Australia so I would not think too much about what lies ahead.
"I am fearful of heights. I have never jumped out of a plane and I don't even like rooms high up in a hotel.
"I will scream if I see a spider at home but we will all be in the camp together and we will all deal with it."
While she's in the jungle, eating grubs and sleeping rough, she will miss her sister's 20th birthday.
She also said she would miss her boyfriend Scott Sinclair, who plays for Manchester City.
She said her dream camper would be someone funny who will make her laugh.
I'm a Celebrity 2012 begins on Sunday, November 11, with a 95-minute opening episode following the X Factor.

Tax provisions relating to home loans are as follows:
Interest paid on home loan
As per the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961, a deduction of up to Rs 150,000 can be claimed as tax exemption on housing loan. This deduction is claimed towards the total interest that we pay on the home loan towards purchase or construction of house property while computing the income from house property.
The interest payable before you acquire home or start the construction work would be deductible in five equal annual instalments commencing from the year in which the house has been acquired or constructed.
In case of self- occupied property, housing loan tax benefit is allowed only for one such self – occupied property. The interest towards home loan taken for purchase, construction, repairs, renewal or reconstruction of house property is eligible for deduction under section 24(b).
Principal Repayment of Housing loan
An individual can avail deduction on the principal loan repayment u/s 80 C (Max Limit Rs. 1 lakh) subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions.
Let us consider an example:
Your taxable income is Rs 5,50,000. Principal Repayment for the same year: Rs 1,20,000 and interest payable is Rs 1,70,000.
Total deduction allowed is Rs 2,50,000 (Rs. 1,50,000 towards interest paid on housing loan and Rs.100,000 on principal repayment)
Total Taxable income is Rs 300,000 (Rs 550,000 – Rs 250,000)
Joint Home loans
Tax exemptions on housing loans will be available only to the person on whose name the property is registered irrespective of the fact who pays for the loan. In case the property is jointly held then the exemption can be availed in proportion to the EMI paid.
For example, if a couple has taken a housing loan whose details are as follows:
Loan Amount: 20 lakh
Loan Tenure: 20 Years
Interest rate: 11%
Amount paid per annum: 2, 47,725 (2,18,559 towards interest and 29,167 towards principal)
Where in Husband pays 70% of EMI and Wife pays 30% of EMI then only then the amount of exemption available is as follows:
Interest payment: Since husband pays 70% of EMI he is allowed exemption on the 70% of the interest paid per annum i.e. (218,559*70% is 152991 limited to 150,000) and wife is allowed exemption on 30% of the interest amount paid i.e. (218,559*30%) 65,567.
Principal Repayment: Similar rule applies with the principal repayment, husband can avail exemption up to 70% of the principal amount repaid in a year (i.e. 29,167*70%) 20,417 while wife can avail exemption of up to 30% of principal amount repaid in a year i.e. (29,167*30%) 8,750.
Under construction house
Most of the people whose house is under construction are lost as how to claim the exemption on the interest paid on housing loan which is under construction. Well, you can avail the tax exemption only when the construction is completed. In this case the Pre- Emi is paid while the house is under construction. So, you cannot use the Pre-Emi as the Tax deduction source. Once the construction is completed, the total Pre-Emi interest paid can be availed as exemption in five equal instalments in the subsequent years
For example, if you have paid Rs 100,000 as the pre-EMI, then Rs 20,000 will be shown in the next five years as tax deduction. Note that pre-EMI is only the interest paid during the period. If you have paid any principal amount, that is not eligible for the tax deduction

"Where do you get your protein from?", is one of the most common questions I get when I tell someone I've gone vegan. Beans, peas, greens, nuts, seeds, lentils - plants! There is certainly no lack of protein in a plant-based diet, yet the protein myth persists. The rise of the high-protein diets (paleo, being the latest), has probably contributed to this myth and vegan diet is considered merely wishy washy in comparison. This presumption of vegan diet lacking protein (or anything else, for that matter) could not be further from the truth.
Take these lentil patties, for example. They contain 150 grams quinoa, which has 13.8g protein per 100g, and 200 grams lentils, which have 24g protein per 100g. Both quinoa and lentils are thus a great source of protein for vegans and non-vegans! My non-vegan fiancé loves these patties and served with a fresh salad and/or some grainy bread, they certainly make a satisfying meal.
If you are interested in reading more about protein in a plant-based (and non-plant-based) diet, I recommend you to read "The China Study", by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II. Colleen Patric-Goudreau also has an informative podcast titled "The Protein Myth and Vegetarianism",which I highly recommend you to listen.
Lentil patties
200g red lentils
1 carrot, chopped into tiny cubes
1 celery stick, chopped into tiny cubes
1/2 brown onion, finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch of good quality salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 litre water
1 heaped tablespoon unhulled tahini
150g rolled quinoa
virgin coconut oil
1. Combine the lentils, carrot, celery, onion, garlic and spices in a saucepan. Add water and bring to boil. Let simmer for 30 minutes or until the lentils are fully tender and the mixture has cooked down.
2. Add tahini and rolled quinoa into the mixture and let simmer for a further 5 or so minutes. You should now have a very thick, sticky mixture.
3. Let the mixture to cool down. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Oil your hands with some virgin coconut oil and shape the lentil mixture into small patties. Place the patties on to the baking tray and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 170C.
5. Bake the patties for 25-35 minutes or until they feel firm to touch. Make sure to turn them around half way through cooking. Serve with a salad and/or with some bread.
Update: Thank you for all your feedback! Since many of you have asked about calcium, I'll be doing a post on the calcium myth in a vegan diet next!

Though I was sorely tempted to continue with malapropisms this week (unintentional use of the wrong word), as there are so many of them popping up out there all the time, I will limit myself to the one I came across that tempted me.
You know you've done it. At least once in your life, and hopefully only in early grade school, you slipped someone of romantic interest one of those notes with a heart on it that read, "Will you be my girlfriend (or boyfriend)?" and had two check boxes, one for "Yes" and one for "No." And if your intended filled in her or his own box with "Maybe," well, it was just maddening.

Briefly, here's the reason I think Fred Wilpon's comments in The New Yorker and Sports Illustrated are so significant to the fan base.
I think he took away hope.
See, it doesn't matter what is happening in a baseball season- fans can still find ample reason for optimism. Maybe they'll come back tonight. Or if not, maybe the winning streak starts tomorrow. Or fine, this year is shot- but what about a big offseason acquisition? Next year is the year.
So what did Wilpon do? In the span of two interviews, he made it clear that this team, in his opinion, isn't coming back when trailing. They aren't good enough to win this season. And he's cutting payroll, so the winter won't fix anything. With a relatively moribund farm system, that means a difficult 2012, too.
That's a lot of hope to extinguish before Memorial Day.
As to the reasons why, I think people are looking too deeply into the Machiavellian reasons Fred Wilpon did this. Did he have reason to believe Omar Minaya could turn this team around for years before firing him? Of course not. Same with Steve Phillips. And so on.
The man makes a lot of decisions that aren't in his best interest. If you think otherwise, Bernie Madoff has a black box strategy to sell you.
And the ramifications are going to be profound. The Mets weren't drawing well before this. But fans are going to stay away in much greater numbers. And those that show up are going to protest. That is the new reality coming to SNY every night.
This is unprecedented. This isn't George Steinbrenner expressing rage at his players and vowing to get better ones. This is Fred Wilpon disparaging his best players and vowing to replace them… with nothing.
Only a quick intervention from MLB, or a speedy trial with Irving Picard, can keep this worst-case scenario from becoming reality.

Dooley grades: Still no 'O' for UF
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 6:03 p.m.
Offense C-
First half: The Gators struggled to score points, but they did average 7.6 yards a play while gaining 250 yards.
Second half: The Gators pretty much shut it down after Jon Bostic's interception for a touchdown gave them a 17-0 lead.
For the game: Against an FCS team that was known for its bad defense, Florida scored one offensive touchdown.
Defense A-
First half: The defense pitched a shutout, but that had a lot to do with the Jacksonville State field goal kicker missing a couple of short ones.
Second half: Florida dominated in the second half and turned the fourth quarter into a punt-fest.
For the game: The Gator defense outscored the Gamecocks 7-0. You can't ask for much more than that.
Special teams B
First half: A blocked field goal was the negative, but the coverage teams did an excellent job on both kickoffs.
Second half: Caleb Sturgis redeemed himself with a couple of 40-plus-yard field goals and coverage continued to be good.
For the game: Sturgis, in his last game at Florida Field, scored 11 points all by himself.
Overall C
The Gators made it 10 wins for the season the same way they've been doing it all year. You can't still be surprised at the lack of offense.

A COUNCIL claims an administrative error is the reason for it being ranked the fifth worst performing authority in monitoring food hygiene standards.
A Which? survey looked at 395 local authorities in the UK and, using the latest data they submit to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), ranked how they are performing on food safety enforcement.
Wycombe District Council was ranked the fifth worst at making sure businesses in south Buckinghamshire are complying with hygiene rules.
The survey based the rankings on three criteria: the proportion of premises ranked as high or medium risk in a local authority that were broadly compliant with food hygiene requirements.
It also looked at the percentage of premises yet to receive a risk rating; and the proportion of inspections and other follow ups that were required but not carried out by local authority inspectors.
Spokesman for WDC, Catherine Spalton, said: "It is with regret that the data we submitted to the FSA last year contained an error which recorded a lower number of rated properties with regard to risk.
"We anticipate that because the Which? report used these inaccurate figures, our overall rating score is lower which has unfortunately ranked us in the bottom ten.
"Since we identified this error, we have revised our figures and are now confident that we have actually rated about 80 per cent of establishments in the district for risk, rather than the 66.4 per cent that has been reported.
"We work closely with the Food Standards Agency and they are satisfied with our approach to the remaining 20 per cent which are deemed to present a low food safety risk.
"We are obviously disappointed to be within the Which? report's lowest ten, but would hope that our revised figure would significantly increase our ranking."

The Threat
Defending a network is not purely a technical exercise. An organisation can gain a tactical advantage in knowing who its adversaries are likely to be and the types of attack they are likely to face. This can help focus mitigation measures and monitoring activities. Ideally, threat assessments should be conducted ahead of a problem being identified, thereby giving the organisation an opportunity to counter the threat before an incident occurs, however, for the most part Context investigates threats post-incident. Being able to attribute attacks to specific threat actors is important to the organisation. Understanding why the organisation may be a target and determining where the requirement for specific data to be stolen originates from, while understanding the technical methodology of an attack, can help with an investigation and aid future protection.
Organisations will always be interested in the attribution of an attack or Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), in particular when that attack is targeted against a certain user, job function or the organisation in general. Moreover, when an organisation comes under sustained attack, knowing who the attacker is may help an organisation plan how to protect certain types of data, how to adapt its strategy for dealing with a certain country or how to conduct a certain project. In extreme cases it may influence a company's expansion into a particular market.
Context will take a wide view of the attack. Some of the clues will be found in the malware: Where was the malware written and who by? Where is the command and control infrastructure located? Have we seen samples of the malware elsewhere on targets where the attacker is already known? But these are clues to attribution, not proof; malware once public can be used by anyone and infrastructure is generally located in other countries.
Context will also look at the organisation being targeted, to better understand the type of business and activities in which it is engaged, where sensitive business is taking place, what it concerns, who and where the organisation's competitors are located; and which individuals have been targeted. More often than not, if an attacker is a nation state it will be fairly obvious at the end of this process who is responsible and what they want from the target organisation.
In the case of state sponsored attacks our extensive experience and intelligence led approach may allow us to identify the group carrying out the attack, rather than simply the country of origin. Chinese state sponsored hackers, for example, do not all use the same tools and techniques; there are many different groups with different skillsets and motivations working for different parts of the state apparatus. Through studying the actions of these groups, at first hand and through the findings of other open and closed source reports, we are able to pass on a deeper level of understanding of their source and purpose.
Context consultants will never tell a client that they understand the on-going attack against your organisation before they have seen and analysed it. Our consultants understand many different methodologies used by attackers and can often guess who may be responsible for an attack or APT, but we take the time to understand exactly what is going on in each case and collect evidence to support those theories.
We look to the kill-chain concept to identify and categorise different parts of the attack; and to tailor and adapt our Protect advice. Most attackers will have to carry out most of the steps in the chain in order to execute a successful attack.
Context will brief stakeholders on typical attacks and will brief a client on how the attack is taking place on the network once we are in a position to do so.

The State Of PC Graphics Sales Q2 2014by Brett Howse on 8/29/2014 8:00 AM EST

Back to Article
willis936 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThe all market GPU numbers seem a little strange. Are those from shipped products that have a GPU in it (ie every laptop with an intel cpu in the past five years) or is it shipped products that use a GPU as their primary driver (ie an intel laptop with an nvidia dPGU would be a point for nvidia)? Reply
anandreader106 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkIf you click on the source, it says "Total Market Share This Quarter". I'd assume that means they are strictly speaking in terms of Q2 2014 shipments. Reply
anandreader106 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkSeriously how many people have to scream for an edit button? I misunderstood your question willis936.
The source doesn't say if a laptop shipped with discreet graphics counts as 1 point Intel and/or 1 point Nvidia/AMD. Reply
Brett Howse - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkA laptop with discreet graphics would count as 1 Intel + 1 AMD/NVIDIA which is explained by the attach rate portion and the attach rate value being over 100%. Reply
willis936 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThat's what my perception was as well. I think it would be more telling to see of the computers that have an integrated GPU how many also have dedicated GPUs that supersede the non-optional integrated. Reply
Krysto - Friday, August 29, 2014 - link> Intel, which has all of zero discrete graphics cards for sale, commands an amazing 67.34% of the total GPU market.
That's only because anti-trust bodies were asleep while Intel once again used anti-competitive Microsoft-style bundling tactics, to make the competition redundant for the majority of users. It's the goold ol' "why would I download another browser when I've got IE" question that helped IE gain 90 percent market share. Intel used the same trick, but with its GPU. And as it became more powerful, it kept displacing a larger portion of PCs and notebooks's discrete GPUs. Reply
colinstu - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkintegrated graphics are no where NEAR the level of "bundling" things in. WTF are you talking about? Integrated memory controllers and on-die cache too bundled for you too? All CPU makers are beginning to include GPUs with their chips. It makes a large amount of sense. Reply
Da W - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkHow could anti-trust bodies intervene? Force Intel to unbundle the GPU portion of thier SoC?
Intel was anti-competitive in the late 90s / early 2000s when the Athlon 64 was simply better (when AlienWare sold their best PCs with Athlon in them) than the Pentium 4, but AMD wasn't able to go through the 20% market share ceilling. It was normal, Intel made you price A if you bought 70% of your chips from them or price B if you bought over 80%, price B being lower than price A. The extra 10% CPU were at negative price!!!
I doubt this is the case today. AMD just plainly suck. (From a guy who built its first Intel/Nvidia machine ever last year). Reply
Ktracho - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkOne way would be to force Intel to offer CPUs for sale that don't have integrated graphics (which they do), and require that such CPUs be less expensive (perhaps by an amount that is proportional to die size) than equivalent CPUs that have integrated graphics, thus allowing computer builders to decide if they want integrated graphics or save the money and use it toward an add in board. (In practice, Intel could simply sell CPUs with nonworking GPUs, instead of discarding them, as they do presently. In fact, doing so would even improve their bottom line.) I'm not saying this should happen, just that it would be one way to further level the playing field. Reply
Flunk - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkEvery consumer CPU manufacturer now offers chips with integrated graphics, memory controllers and everything else that used to be on the chipset northbridge. This is not specifically Intel's fault. They didn't even do it first, many ARM vendors had integrated designs years before Intel. Reply
dylan522p - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkAll of my wut Reply
lefty2 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThe origonal Jon Peddie data does not show discreet GPU marketshare seperately, which is quite annoying. Good work from Brett to present the data in a more useful format. Reply
HighTech4US - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkJon Peddie always has two articles on Graphics. One on overall including integrated graphics and one solely on discrete graphics. They are always released a few weeks apart.

lefty2 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkNo, ... my bad. now I see it Reply
AntonyIndia - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkSo 67.34% of PC users are not into playing heavy graphic games. Anandtech and others like Tomshardware take note and please shift you focus with this majority to integrated graphics.
The majority wants cheaper, simpler, less power consuming, fail safe (so non mechanical cooling) hardware,
So for example in your tests don't try to weight in any heavy graphic games on cheap but popular hardware: the makers didn't create if for that and most users don't want to do that.
Your reviewers should not write publicly for themselves (game fanatics) but for their biggest audience. Most commenters here are also from the same elite technical/ game fanatic but that is the same minority market.. Reply
PsychoPif - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkSo what you're saying is Anand should only write review for the minority of it's audience...
They do write some piece on lower performance market and I do agree the market is going in that direction. But their must not forget who come here and click on the ads. Reply
Sushisamurai - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkUhhh, I think your assumption goes too far there. Most laptops use integrated graphics, and by intel, by design. It makes sense too, because budget laptops no longer need to bundle a low discrete GPU and needlessly increase BOM if intel's iGPU can handle it. The majority of laptops with discrete graphics cards comes at ~$1000+, and face it, that's out of the price range for a lot of people.
Anecdotally, I would say people who buy budget laptops buy it for price/performance, and accept the fact they can't play graphic intense games. They don't buy one to play graphic intensive games, or to purposely play low graphic games Reply
Sushisamurai - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkI should mention the market is catered to mobile (laptops/tablets) as desktop PC sales decline YoY. I think as we aged, we have realized OEM desktop computers cannot compete for price/performance, so desktop users have turned to building their own and not going for OEM builds Reply
Sushisamurai - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkI also think anandtech's majority of readers are computer enthusiasts, therefore we want the current data that they've historically given us. Majority of market does not translate to majority of anandtech readers. Quantifying that would also be a pain Reply
Drumsticks - Friday, August 29, 2014 - link67% might use Integrated graphics, but 67% of Anandtech readers don't. The website has always catered to its audience, which is presumably anybody from moderately techie to big tinkerers. I imagine plenty of the people here ARE game fanatics.
Anyways, they have excellent coverage on both the performance and power perspective of things when it comes to new CPUs (for example). Anandtech has pretty much some of the most full featured reviews when it comes to new devices; what more could you actually want? Reply
A5 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkYeah, if you want iGPU coverage, that's what PC Magazine is for. Anandtech is an enthusiast site with a specific market. Reply
Janooo - Friday, August 29, 2014 - link"NVIDIA is a 2:1 seller of discrete graphics over the only other rival AMD"
It's closer to 3:2 than to 2:1 Reply
mpokwsths - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkDidn't know Matrox was still producing graphics cards... Reply
cicatriz63 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThey are still used quite a bit in servers. Reply
A5 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkWell, ~10K units is probably coming from their inventory.
The real question is how S3 is getting any sales. Reply
Mathos - Friday, August 29, 2014 - link"but by the market share it appears that people are choosing CPU power and efficiency over GPU power for most devices."
Actually having been a retail employee in the past, who's sold PC's etc, it's quite the opposite. People for the most part don't know a damn thing about the hardware in the system. Other than, from commercials they see on TV, which of course we still do the Intel inside thing. Then they go, I want the one with the thing from the TV commercial. Since AMD doesn't counter advertise on tv, people don't know who they are. Hell, for the most part they don't advertise at all, outside of PC magazines. It for the most part, doesn't have a damn thing to do with efficiency or cpu power or igpu power.
The average person doesn't know that AMD powers all 3 current gen consoles. Now, if current gen consoles were factored in, I wonder how much that would change the numbers, since they're all effectively small form factor pc's now.
Now, on the AMD v Nvidia front. Again, that comes down to advertising. Every other game you play almost for years, has had Nvidia the way it's meant to be played advertising either on the box, or at the intro of the game. Add on to that, BS spread by people about driver stability, which I can say hasn't been an issue at least since the hd2000 series, since I've owned ati/amd cards since then. During the alternating times, even when AMD/ATI has had a superior product for a long stretch, they still didn't gain much of any market share. The reality with that is, people who've been around long enough, have seen Nvidia on the front end more. Those of us who were around during the Nvidia v 3dfx days for example. Are going to go with the brand that they're most use to, whether they perform better or not. Reply
Hrel - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkQ2 2014 vs Q2 2013 -0.1%
What? AMD Q2 2013 shows 5.32 Million, Q2 2014 shows 4.36 Million. Which is 82% of 5.32 Million. So AMD is down 18%, not .1%. Very confused, and frankly angry at your lack of math ability.
Nvidia also went down, not up, WTF are you doing? Reply
Brett Howse - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkI apologize the numbers I had used for the percentages were from the wrong quarter. All fixed now thanks for letting me know. Reply
Mr Perfect - Friday, August 29, 2014 - link
The greater than normal drop in AIBs when the PC market actually grew can most likely be attributed to an upswing in business PC sales which seems to be bringing the PC market back for the time being.
It might also be because AMD and Nvidia are still stuck on 28nm and have been releasing a lot of rebadged cards. If you bought a card last year, what is there to upgrade to this year? Reply
siliconwars - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkUnderstand that the vast majority of Nvidia's "discrete" card sales are extreme low-end like GT 610, GT 620, GT 630. These are actually slower than AMD's integrated graphics. Reply
lazymangaka - Wednesday, September 17, 2014 - linkIt would be interesting to see how things rack and stack at the mid-range and high-end of the GPU market. I don't believe AMD even offers as many lower-end GPUs as Nvidia does, so it's natural that Nvidia is going to dominate in that market. A quick glance at the sub-$75 category on Newegg has Nvidia with twice as many offerings as AMD (and AMD's numbers are probably skewed by merchants offering extremely old ATI cards). Reply

Astros' rebuilding, rebranding might be 'fun'
Updated 2:10 pm, Friday, January 25, 2013
Brett Wallace knows what you're thinking, and you may be right.
What with new ownership, first-year manager, overturned roster, bare-bones budget and transition to the rugged American League West, the Astros are facing a tougher road this season than a three-legged armadillo crossing an interstate.
But add it all up, Wallace said, and it might turn into something unexpected: Fun.
"We have a lot of young guys who are coming up and we're all getting a chance to play together," he said Wednesday while taking in the Spurs-Hornets game.
"When you play with a group of guys who are all in the same position, trying to prove ourselves and trying to turn this thing around, with a new ownership and new front office that's really behind us and giving us resources to try to improve, I think we're all having fun being in this process and we're looking forward to continuing it."
Wallace's stubborn optimism comes as the Astros prepare for an evolution that sees the club, only 55-107 last year, shift from the National League to the American League, complete with remodeled uniforms and expectations.
The first baseman was joined by returning All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve, shortstop Tyler Greene and manager Bo Porter at the AT&T Center. On Thursday, the group made various stops around San Antonio as part of its annual winter caravan.
Sports Channel
"I feel excited about the next season," said the 5-foot-5 Altuve, who hit .286 last year. "I can't wait. We'll have a pretty good team this year, and we're getting to know each other better this year. That's something I really like."
It's an us-against-the-world mentality complemented by some talent to build around. From outfielder Justin Maxwell, who hit 18 home runs last season, to third baseman Matt Dominguez, who batted .284, to pitchers Bud Norris and Lucas Harrell, the Astros are hoping the rebuilding process will include some victories along the way.
"It's about just letting these kids play now, giving them an opportunity," said Houston television play-by-play announcer Bill Brown, in his 27th season calling games for the team. "We're looking at small sample sizes with these guys and are anxious to see what somebody can do over a full campaign.
"It's going to be a difficult assignment in the AL West, but I've been around Bo Porter a couple of times this week and this guy can get anybody fired up. He's really a dynamic leader."
Houston will find out soon enough. The Astros open their season March 31 at home against the AL West-rival Texas Rangers.
"Hopefully, if (fans) get to know our situation and our team, they'll have fun with it and come along for the ride," Wallace said.

Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow has launched a scheme aimed at reconnecting people who live in care homes with their communities.
Mr Burstow launched Friends and Neighbours (FaNs) last week. The project will work with community organisations to help care home residents get out and enjoy the area they live in.
He launched the initiative as part of his work leading a year-long Government inquiry into the future of residential care. The findings will be published later this year.
Mr Burstow said: "Care homes thrive when they are part of the community. The secret of great care is the quality of the relationships people have.
"FaNs is a great way of engaging more people in the life of care homes. It helps to ensure that people living in care homes feel connected to their neighbourhood and able to take and feel part of everyday life."

I made this last night, from HTG.
I usually make my own marinades, rubs, sauces, etc., but I read somewhere, maybe on here that Goya makes a good bottled mojo. It was $1.99 for a liter of it, so....
Anyway, I'm not sure what took me so long to fire up a pork tenderloin. I did one last summer and it came out great. The mojo marinated one also came out fantastic. Took it to 156 and it got to 160 while resting.
Perfectly tender, nice crust, and nice mojo flavor (w/ extra mojo on the side). Looks like I'll be doing more pork tenderloins....1.5lbs for $4!

Product Description
The Process - Creating your Gold Rose
These real roses are chosen at the peak of their bloom and then covered in 24k gold to preserve the natural beauty that would normally fade within days. Each 24k gold rose is unique and created through a 40 step process which preserves the beauty of these 24k gold roses yet makes them strong enough to hold and last forever.
Creating a Color and Gold or Platinum Trimmed Rose
To preserve the color of the natural rose and to enhance the stunning beauty of the real rose beneath we now offer roses in a variety of colors with gold or platinum trim. The rose flower bloom is dipped in lacquer to preserve the rose and the color. Then the leaves and stem are dipped in gold or platinum. The flower bloom is highlighted in gold or platinum to give them a remarkably rich look. The process captures the dramatic color and beauty of the real rose beneath creating a timeless gift for you or someone special in your life.

Emergency Root Canal Dentist in Colchester CT
Emergency Root Canal Dentist in Colchester CT
Colchester Emergency Dental Office - Serving Colchester and surrounding areas. Highly trusted for over 15 years!Call Now! (888) 647-3816
Get Dental Care NOW - CALL (888) 647-3816
A tragic accident can lead to teeth damage and loss. Fortunately, there are dentists who can provide services like dental implants in Colchester CT regardless of the time of day. This article provides some details on how these professionals can help with your emergency dental needs.
Some people take their broken and damaged teeth for granted. Without proper treatment, these problems can lead to severe discomfort. These people require urgent dental care to alleviate pain and stop any bleeding from happening. Fortunately, there are dental professionals who are always ready to answer your call.
Unexpected Events
Medical emergencies happen to anyone without warning. This may cause problems to older people, as they may need critical care because of their age. Fortunately, emergency dentists provide bedside assistance for those who have trouble with their motor skills.
Kids may also be a subject to teeth injuries. Most children have a low tolerance for pain so it is a priority to take away the discomfort. Remember that cracked and dented teeth means that the inner parts of the teeth are open for bacteria. This can lead to infections and severe pain.
Those who recently undertook cosmetic dental treatments like dental implants also need dental care. This also includes the people who had root canal treatment, as the procedure may cause complications.
Services Provided
These emergency dental offices in Colchester CT can offer different services such as root canal procedures, tooth extraction, and gum treatments. There are also restorative processes in line with cosmetic dentistry, which include teeth whitening and bonding, dental implants, and bite treatment.
Some of these emergency dental offices can also offer other kinds of assistance for patients. You can expect ambulances to arrive at the scene of the accident minutes from making the call. The offices have a separate section to address these urgent dental needs or they could just refer you to a different specialist.
Qualified Professionals
The internet can be a valuable source of information. You can use it to find out if a dental practitioner performs well. There are specialized websites containing valuable customer reviews and testimonials on how a professional conducts the procedures. This way, you do not have to worry about acquiring complications from poorly done treatments.
Looking for Urgent Services
Check the dental offices near your area. You can verify if they have emergency services the moment you go to their website. You can also give them a call. This is also a great time to ask about payment options and certain terms before agreeing to undergo certain dental procedures.
Make sure you have an active dental insurance in Colchester CT to get the most out of your treatment. Bear in mind that you can choose from a wide array of insurance providers. Look for insurance companies that provide dental insurance for individuals and groups with minimal monthly payments. Avoid providers that charge higher but cannot cover all dental procedures. Be sure to read all the contract agreements before signing up for one. You can also refer to your company if it offers free healthcare services to its employees. Remember that quality dental implants, along with other services, can make a big difference in your daily activities.

September 2011 Covers
Seeing as October issues are now starting to be revealed (Florence Welsh covering Vogue Nippon, Jessica Stam covering Numero Tokyo) I figured that meant the time to do a post on the best of the September covers has come.
My absolute favorite cover is Jacquelyn Jablonski covering Harper's Bazaar Spain.
The Numero cover, shot by Karl Lagerfeld, featuring this season's top models is a classic.
I also adore Miranda Kerr's Elle Korea cover.
Now, I can't believe I am saying this but I also love Kristen Stewart's W cover. I dislike her, but I am captivated by her beauty in this shot! Something I have never seen in her before is there, and I think we can thank Mert Alas for that.
What is your favorite September 2011 cover? Are you please with this year's September covers? xx
42 comments:

Minor League Update
Games of November 28
The ultimate showdown of premier outfield prospects in the Dominican Winter League happened on Wednesday night when Starling Marte's Leones del Escogido faced off against Oscar Taveras' Aguilas Cibaenas. Of course, neither player disappointed. The 24 year-old Marte had three hits, including a double and a three-run triple while the 20 year-old Taveras had a double, two singles, and a walk. What? You want to know who won the game? It doesn't really matter. Every fan who was in the stands wins because they got to see Marte and Taveras before they were stars on the same field as former big league greats Manny Ramirez and Miguel Tejeda. Incidentally, the two veterans who have 18 All-Star selections between them, each had a pair of hits.

Btw when offseason prospect trades happen, do they generally get removed from the AFL and/or winter leagues? Do they stay in the league but switch teams?

Not 100% sure. There was one player in the AFL (Josh Spence) who was was claimed off waivers and went from SD to NYY. He continued to pitch on the Padres-affiliated team.

FUNDING of more than £320,000 to improve Hyndburn's woodlands has been secured.
The Jackhouse Nature Reserve in Oswaldtwislte, Woodnook and Rothwell Heights in Accrington, Clayton Forest Park and Lower Barnes Street in Clayton-le-Moors will have £324,198 from the Forestry Commission spent on them, if councillors agree.
Further funding for further improvements to Spout House community woodland in Huncoat is also due to be determined in the future.
Trees and woodlands officer at Hyndburn Council, Phil Johnson, said in a report to the council's cabinet: "The council owns a large amount of woodland throughout the borough. This resource is hugely valuable to the local community for recreation, health, and education.
"These external grants will enable the council to improve key sites, including resolving existing issues that would otherwise fall as a cost to the council itself."
The woodland in Clayton Forest Park, and Lower Barnes Street, will see work carried out to make it safer, and will be thinned out.
Mr Johnson said: "The two areas of semi-mature woodland, planted roughly 20 years ago, are at a stage where thinning is required in order to ensure their long-term health.
"They both contain several desire-line footpath that are only accessible to the sure-footed walker.
"Local people have expressed a strong desire for access improvements and community involvement."
A Friends of Jackhouse Nature Reserve group will be set up, although any scheme there would be much smaller, documents show.
The Woodnook and Rothwell Heights scheme woodland was described as a 'significant community resource' but its footpaths are in a poor and hazardous condition.
They would be resurfaced, connections with nearby housing would be improved, and signage, notice boards and leaflets would be also be produced.
Mr Johnson added: "All work should be possible within the funding allocated by the Forestry Commission."
The council's cabinet will vote on whether to support the schemes at a meeting on Wednesday
