Requisitioner: The individual who is funding and acquiring the EIT product (to include hardware, software, maintenance, and/or contract task orders).
Note: The Requisitioner can have a technical person assist in the process and evaluation of a product, but it is not mandatory and the same individual can perform the two functions
- Requisition Number: Assigned requisition number from POD working document.
- Program Office: Business area (e.g., Patents, CFO) that initiates the requirement.
- EIT Coordinator Review: There is an individual in each business area who is the EIT Coordinator. Before submission to the Office of Procurement, the checklist and documentation must be reviewed and initialed by the appropriate EIT Coordinator.
- Product Description: Description of the requested EIT item or service.
Exemptions to Section 508: These are situations that exempt the product or service from compliance with the law.
Note: EIT Coordinator is the only person authorized to approve an exemption.
Market Analysis: There are four options in this area.
- All products that meet the functional requirements are 508 compliant. This is a signal to Office of Procurement to procure this EIT request based on normal conditions (e.g., best value, 8A, etc.).
- One product meets more 508 standards than the others. Based on the law, Office of Procurement must purchase the product that is most compliant.
- Product previously purchased and is still compliant. Normally, this precludes extensive market research on a product that has not changed since the last procurement.
- Only one product meets functional specification. Legal term for sole source. The Office of Procurement makes the final determination on a valid sole source.
Note: All options require that documentation and justification are included with the procurement request.
Requisitioner signature and date: Required for certifying the completeness of the checklist and that the product, if not exempt, is Section 508 compliant.
Note: When the requisitioner signs the checklist, he or she is certifying Section 508 compliance and is legally committing the USPTO to the compliance of the product.
Subparts and Categories for Section 508 Compliance
Subpart A - General
The standards define the types of technology covered and set forth provisions that establish a minimum level of accessibility. The application section (1194.2) outlines the scope and coverage of the standards. The standards cover the full range of EIT in the Federal sector, including those used for communication, duplication, computing, storage, presentation, control, transport and production. This includes computers, software, networks, peripherals and other types of electronic office equipment. The standards define EIT, in part, as "any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, that is used in the creation, conversion, or duplication of data or information."
Subpart A also explains what is exempt (1194.3), defines terms (1194.4), and generally recognizes alternatives to what is required that provide equal or greater access (1194.5). Consistent with the law, the standards exempt systems used for military command, weaponry, intelligence, and cryptologic activities (but not routine business and administrative systems used for other defense-related purposes or by defense agencies or personnel). The standards also exempt "back office" equipment used only by service personnel for maintenance, repair, or similar purposes.
The standards cover technology procured by Federal agencies under contract with a private entity, but apply only to those products directly relevant to the contract and its deliverables. An exception clarifies that the standards do not apply to technology that is incidental to a Federal contract. Thus, those products that are not specified as part of a contract with a Federal agency would not have to comply with the standards. For example, a firm that produces a report for a Federal agency under a contract would not have to procure accessible computers and word processing software even if they were used exclusively for the contract; however, compliance would be required if such products were to become the property of the Federal agency as contract deliverables or if the Federal agency purchased the products to be used by the contractor as part of the project. If a Federal agency contracts with a firm to develop its web site, the standards would apply to the new web site for the agency but not to the firm's own web site.
- Requisitioner must identify which categories (not standards) are applicable for the product.
- A product can be included in more than one category (e.g., a laptop would have to be compliant in both software and portable computers). The categories are divided into Subparts B, C and D.
Subpart B - Technical categories
For detailed information regarding the Section 508 standards, see the relevant chapters of this Guide. For summaries and checklists, see the Evaluation Checklists below.
The six categories of standards are:
- Software Applications and Operating Systems (1194.21). Most of the specifications for software pertain to usability for people with vision impairments. For example, one provision requires alternative keyboard navigation, which is essential for people with vision impairments who cannot rely on pointing devices, such as mice. Other provisions address animated displays, color and contrast settings, blink rate, and electronic forms, among others.
- Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications (1194.22). The criteria for web-based technology and information are based on access guidelines developed by the WAI of the W3C. Many of these provisions ensure access for people with vision impairments who rely on AT to access computer-based information, such as screen readers, which translate what's on a computer screen into automated audible output, and refreshable Braille displays. Certain conventions, such as verbal tags or identification of graphics and format devices, like frames, are necessary so that these devices can "read" them for the user in a sensible way. The standards do not prohibit the use of web site graphics or animation. Instead, the standards aim to ensure that such information is also available in an accessible format. Generally, this means use of text labels or descriptors for graphics and certain format elements. HTML code already provides an ALT tag for graphics which can serve as a verbal descriptor for graphics). This section also addresses the usability of multimedia presentations, image maps, style sheets, scripting languages, applets and plug-ins, and electronic forms. The standards apply to Federal web sites but not to private sector web sites (unless a site is provided under contract to a Federal agency, in which case only that web site or portion covered by the contract would have to comply). Accessible sites offer significant advantages that go beyond access. For example, those with "text-only" options provide a faster downloading alternative and can facilitate transmission of web-based data to cell phones and PDAs.
- Telecommunications Products (1194.23). The criteria of this section are designed primarily to ensure access to people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. This includes compatibility with hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, and TTYs. TTYs are devices that enable people with hearing or speech impairments to communicate over the telephone; they typically include an acoustic coupler for the telephone handset, a simplified keyboard, and a visible message display. One requirement calls for a standard non-acoustic TTY connection point for telecommunication products that allow voice communication but that do not provide TTY functionality. Other specifications address adjustable volume controls for output, product interface with hearing technologies, and the usability of keys and controls by people who may have impaired vision or limited dexterity.
- Video or Multimedia Products (1194.24). Multimedia products involve more than one information medium and include, but are not limited to, video programs, narrated slide productions, and computer-generated presentations. Provisions address caption decoder circuitry (for any system with a screen larger than 13 inches) and secondary audio channels for television tuners, including tuner cards for use in computers. The standards also require captions and audio descriptions for certain training and informational multimedia productions developed or procured by Federal agencies. The standards also provide that users should be able to turn captions or audio descriptions on or off.
- Self-Contained, Closed Products (1194.25). This section covers products that generally have embedded software but are designed in such a way that a user cannot easily attach or install AT. Examples include information kiosks, automated transaction machines, copiers, printers, calculators, fax machines, and similar types of products. The standards require that access features be built into the system so users do not have to attach assistive devices to it. Other specifications address mechanisms for private listening (handset or a standard headphone jack), touch screens, auditory output and adjustable volume controls, and location of controls within accessible reach ranges.
- Desktop and Portable Computers (1194.26). This section focuses on keyboards and other mechanically operated controls, touch screens, use of biometric forms of identification, and ports and connectors.
Subpart C - Functional Performance Criteria
The performance requirements of this section are intended for overall product evaluation and for technologies or components for which there is no specific requirement under the technical standards in Subpart B. These criteria are designed to ensure that the individual accessible components work together to create an accessible product. They cover operation, including input and control functions, operation of mechanisms, and access to visual and audible information. These provisions are structured to allow people with sensory or physical disabilities to locate, identify, and operate input, control and mechanical functions and to access the information provided, including text, static or dynamic images, icons, labels, sounds or incidental operating cues.
For a list of the requirements, see Subpart C in Appendix A.
Subpart D - Information, Documentation, and Support
The standards also address access to all information, documentation, and support provided to end users (e.g., Federal employees) of covered technologies. This includes user guides, installation guides for end-user installable devices, and customer support and technical support communications. Such information must be available in alternate formats upon request at no additional charge. Alternate formats or methods of communication can include Braille, cassette recordings, large print, electronic text, Internet postings, TTY access, and captions and audio descriptions for video materials.
For a list of the requirements, see Subpart D in Appendix A.
- Determine technical specifications for the product. It is extremely important to identify exactly what are the technical or functional requirements to provide the service or product to meet the need.
Note: The technical specifications drive the procurement, not Section 508.
- Market research to identify products. After the technical specifications have been identified, conduct market research in accordance with FAR T10.001 to determine what product(s) meet all the functional specifications. Market research may include, but is not limited to, information from web sites, industrial publications, trade shows, CBD notices, and resources available from other Federal agencies. As with any evaluation, document the findings and make them part of the procurement request.
- Determining vendor(s). Once the products have been identified, additional market research must be conducted to determine which vendors provide the product.
- Determining the most Section 508 compliant vendor. All the vendors who provide the product must complete the appropriate USPTO Procurement checklist(s). Note that some products require more than one checklist (e.g., a PC and its software are two separate items and each requires a checklist). The vendor who is the most compliant is the one that must be selected for the procurement.
Note: Procurement will only purchase a product from vendors that complete the checklist. No checklist, no purchase.
Note: The USPTO is legally responsible for Section 508 compliance, not the vendor. No matter what the vendor says or certifies about 508 compliance, only the USPTO is liable.
Note: Strongly recommend that compliance not be based on a vendor simply stating on the vendor checklist that they meet the standards or responding with a "yes." Instead, the vendor should provide detailed information on how they meet the standard, which ones they do not meet, and why certain standards are not applicable. Do not restrict responses just to the space provided on the checklist. A detailed response not only helps ensure that the vendor can/cannot meet the standards, but also if they truly understand the standards. Include the findings of the market research with the procurement checklist.
All questions on exemptions should be directed to the EIT Coordinator, who is the only person authorized to grant an exemption.
Here is a high level interpretation of the exemptions allowed under Section 508 that apply to the USPTO.
Back Office Products
Applies to hardware and software located in areas frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair and occasional monitoring of equipment. Currently, the following items are considered to be "back office" exempt:
- Servers, mainframe, and storage devices located in the lab or data center
- Terminals and consoles attached to the servers/mainframe
- Routers and switches
- Network-related equipment (behind the wall)
- PBX (telephone) server equipment
- Equipment located in the ETC lab programmed for the data center
- Software associated with the mainframe and servers that are located in areas not normally physically accessible by employees
- Software that resides in a data center, but is accessible via the network to employees, is not exempt. (e.g., Oracle)
- Any product that people can interact with has to be compliant. For example, a server located in the data center is exempt, but the same server located in someone's office must be compliant. Another example is modems. One that is inside a PC is exempt while one that is external and has an LCD display or buttons, etc., must be compliant.
- The definition of "back office" is becoming more limited in scope.
Fundamental Alteration
The law does not require a "fundamental alteration in the nature of a product, its service or its components." In other words, some products are designed for a specific use and the only way to make them compliant would be to alter the product to a degree that it would no longer be able to provide that use. Examples are cell phones, pagers, PDAs and hand held scanners.
Commercially Non-Available
At the time of procurement, there are instances when a product that meets all the function specifications does not have features to meet all the appropriate 508 standards. In certain situations, at the time of procurement, the features to meet those standards are considered commercially non-available and are exempt. The rationale is that while the features are not commercially available at the time of procurement, there is the strongly likelihood that at some future date, the items might be commercially available.
Undue Burden
Since the Federal Government is considered a model employer, this exemption is not considered viable. The term applies to a situation where there is a product to meet Section 508 compliance, but its cost is prohibitive. Please be aware that the process and requirements for an undue burden are extensive.
Support Services and Maintenance Agreements
When a service or maintenance agreement is only for "help desk-type" technical support, it is considered exempt. The concept is that if there is a problem, the user calls a number and a service person resolves the problem. However, if the service or agreement includes the ability to purchase parts or upgrades or additional services, then it must provide Section 508 compliant products.
Evaluation Checklists
For each category under Section 508 Subpart B, the following table contains links to printable lists that aid in the evaluation of EIT for procurement.
- Standards: The original Section 508 standards, with links to the relevant sections of this Guide.
- In Other Words: Descriptions of standards from the "In Other Words…" subsections of this Guide.
- Checklists to Print: Evaluation checklists in web format, convenient for printing, but without much space for written comments. Set right/left print margins to no more than 0.5 inch.
- Checklists to Fill In: Evaluation checklists in Excel format, convenient for online completion, formatting and printing. This allows for fully detailed comments for each evaluation point.
The evaluation checklists are samples of a format used by the USPTO to internally evaluate Section 508 standards. Responses to "Meet Standard and How" and "Not Applicable and Why" must be completed in detail. Simple comments like "yes" or "comply" are not acceptable.
Note: An EIT procurement cannot be processed or awarded without completion and submission of the relevant checklists for each product.

Section 508 is an essential part of software development and it is included in the process at the very beginning of a project. The USPTO uses the AIS Checklist to ensure that Section 508 is part of the system development requirements. The checklist must be initialed by the Section 508 coordinator and signed by the software manager before development can begin. The checklist becomes part of the Requirements Documentation.
- The software development manager is the individual who has overall responsibility for ensuring that the system is Section 508 compliant.
- The contractor is responsible for Section 508 compliance until the Government accepts the product from the contractor.
- Only the contracting officer has the authority to change the terms of the contract.
- Even if a contractor certifies that their work is compliant, the USPTO is still responsible and liable for the systems.
- The AIS Checklist is an official part of the Requirements Specification.
- The Technical Review Board will not allow system development to continue unless the AIS Checklist is completed and will not allow the system to go into production until all Section 508 deficiencies are corrected.
- Develop the system to meet the standards, not the accessibility tools.
- Testing with accessibility tools is no guarantee that the product is or is not compliant. Always use at least two tools to test compliance.
- If someone uses JAWS to test compliance, make sure that they have a high level of expertise to ensure the best results. The best method for testing compliance is reading the code.
- Only the portion of the system that is new or revised has to be compliant.
- Section 508 compliance requires good coding practices.
- Experience has shown that good planning resulted in no additional time or resource to produce a Section 508 compliant product.
- AIS Name/Acronym: The name of the AIS system and its acronym.
- SDM: Name of the individual that is designated the System Development Manager for the system.
- Business Group: Business area (e.g., Patents, CFO) that initiates the requirement.
- Brief Description of AIS: Briefly describe the purpose of the AIS and whether the current effort is to revise an existing system.
The Section 508 Coordinator reviews with the Software Manager the system requirements and initials the pertinent boxes in this section. The initial checklist becomes part of the official documentation for the system and must be included in the Requirements Specification. The Technical Review Board will not allow the SDM to continue processing the AIS without a signed checklist.
- Exemptions: The 508 Coordinator is the only person authorized to approve an exemption. If the coordinator determines that a part or all of the system is exempt, he/she will initial the checkbox and provide comments.
- Identify Technical Categories: The 508 Coordinator will work with the SDM to determine which categories of standards are applicable to the AIS. Once determined, the Coordinator will initial the appropriate checkboxes. The SDM must complete the checklist for the standards in each applicable category and include it as part of the system documentation. The SDM will determine which standards within the category are applicable and provide that information to the testing organization.
- SDM signature and date: The SDM must sign and date the checklist. His/her signature certifies the accuracy and completeness of the checklist and that the AIS will be Section 508 compliant. The checklist can't be processed without the SDM's signature.
- Project Manager signature and date: The Project Manager's signature is optional.
Web Development
Web Content Checklist
These HTML and PDF versions of the Web Content Checklist for Section 508 Compliance are meant to be completed online (without signatures), and then printed and signed. Electronic form submission is not supported at this time.
|Printable Versions
|HTML format
|PDF version
This document facilitates certification that all web-accessed content complies with Section 508 requirements.
- Web pages are the most visible Section 508 products that an agency produces.
- The individual who creates a web product, or the software develop manager of a web application, is responsible for ensuring Section 508 compliance.
- USPTO Web Services Division maintains an intranet site pertaining to Section 508 compliance, problem areas, equivalent access, and further resources.
- The best approach for web compliance is to develop in HTML and use text and links. Common problem areas include documents with graphics, data tables, frames, scripts, drop down boxes, forms, cascading style sheets or applets.
- It is important to consider whether to provide web documents in alternate formats, including plain text.
- Preparer: Individual who actually prepares the file(s) for publication to a web environment.
- E-Mail: E-mail address of the preparer of the web content files (technical contact).
- Web Liaison: Individual charged with reviewing all web content for a program office to ensure it conforms with all USPTO web development guidance, determining if the content has been reviewed for policy conformance and coordinating its web publication. This individual must be a USPTO employee.
- Program Office: Program office that sponsors the web content.
- Filenames/URL: The file name(s) for the web content (including the MIME type extension and file paths). This information may have to be adjusted following posting to reflect administrative or technical changes in file names and paths.
- Text-Only: If there is no other way to make a page accessible, then Rules (k.i) and (k.ii) apply. However, if a page is fully accessible without a text only version, then one is not required and the appropriate response to this part of the checklist is "n/a" because it does not apply.
- Program Area Section 508 Coordinator: Individual in each business area (e.g., Patents, Trademarks, CIO, and CFO) who is the Accessibility Coordinator. Before inaccessible web content can be posted to a webserver for use, the checklist and documentation must be reviewed and signed by the appropriate Section 508 Coordinator and forwarded to the USPTO Coordinator for approval.
Procedure for processing a Web Content Certification:
- Web Author and Web Liaison complete section for their names, program office and identifying information for the web content.
- If the Web Author and Web Liaison determine that the web content complies with all Section 508 requirements, they must:
- Check the appropriate box (choose the appropriate answer) for each standard they either meet or that does not apply because the feature is not present in the web content.
- Sign and date the form.
- Web Liaison reviews, signs and dates the checklist certifying compliance.
- Complete processing the web content in accordance with current USPTO guidance and practice.
- The Web Liaison will be required to retain the certification document as evidence of Section 508 compliance throughout the life of the web content file.
- If the Web Author and Web Liaison determine that the web content cannot meet the standard and warrants an "Exemption", they must:
- Check the appropriate box (choose the appropriate answer) for each standard that cannot be met.
- Attach the documentation and/or explanation justifying the request.
- Sign and date the form.
- Have the Program Area Section 508 Coordinator review and, if in agreement, sign the request for Exemption.
- Forward the request to the USPTO Section 508 Coordinator for approval and coordination with the Department of Commerce as necessary.
- Await further instructions regarding processing the request for Exemption.
Accessibility refers to how people who have limitations in mobility, cognitive or sensory abilities can get access to the same information that people without such limitations can. To ensure equivalent access, web content design must address visual, auditory, cognitive and mobility considerations.
Design considerations include designing so that color is not the only cue, script actions are fully described, and alternatives are available when the page functions cannot be made accessible any other way.
Colorblindness (there are many kinds), far-sightedness, blindness, hearing loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, paralysis, susceptibility to seizures, etc., are but a few of the conditions which may require adjustments in the way web content is navigated or presented.
User-controlled accommodation tools include text readers, controls to switch off animations, scripts and applets, and screen or text enlargement settings. Content must be designed so that these controls can be used.
The apparent ease with which tools conveniently and automatically generate HTML and PDF files from source documents unfortunately also compounds the problems that are created when trying to produce accessible web documentation. All too often, individual authors of documents do not possess the knowledge or skills required to properly structure their documents or tag required elements for accessibility. Before creating large numbers of and/or complex documents for web publication, an author should consult with an experienced developer of Section 508 compliant materials.
EIT Procurement by Credit Card
- Purchase Card Pre-Purchase Worksheet
- Worksheet and Process Revisions
- Section 508 Requirements
- Exempt Items
- Purchases over $2500
Purchase Card Pre-Purchase Worksheet
The Excel version of the Purchase Card Pre-Purchase Worksheet is meant to be printed, and then completed by hand. The PDF version is meant to be completed online (without signatures), and then printed and signed. Electronic form submission is not supported at this time.
|Printable Versions
|Excel format
|PDF version
Worksheet and Process Revisions
- What did not change: The worksheet must be completed, have all the necessary approvals, and be signed before the use of the credit card.
- Reasons for change:
- Creation of a standardized form throughout the USPTO that also allows each business unit to modify certain parts to meet unique requirements. Any area outside of the dark lines can be modified. For example, a business area can add a line for budget approval line or accounting codes or the EIT Coordinator review.
- Less time to complete. No longer have to answer multiple questions, which have obvious "yes." For example, would anyone really say "no" to Is this a Government purchase for a Government purpose? Comments are now in the form of "yes" statements. For example: This is a Government purchase for a Government purpose.
- More logical sequence of information in the top portion of the form. For example, the left side includes card holder and requestor information while the right side requires vendor and product information.
- Updating the form and process to include new requirements (e.g., Section 508 compliance, assets and software license agreement).
- New process: Card holder must sign the Pre-Purchase Worksheet. By signing the form, the card holder certifies the accuracy and completeness of the information on the worksheet, to include Section 508 compliance for appropriate IT purchases.
Section 508 Requirements
For purchases of IT-related products and services under $2500, the credit card holder is responsible for certifying compliance. This is not as difficult or time-consuming as it might seem. Probably 99% of IT-related procurements under $2500 fall into one of four categories. With a few seconds of diligence, the credit card holder can determine compliance and sign the worksheet. The EIT Procurement Checklist is not required for credit card purchases under $2500.
Exempt Items
- Supply items (e.g., paper, toner, office supplies)
- Internal components (e.g., memory upgrade, modem, sound card)
- Accessories (e.g., power cord, cable, glare guard, mouse, keyboard)
- Hand-held type devices (e.g., cell phone, pager, Blackberry, PDA)
- Already Section 508 compliant:
- TIG contract. Includes PCs, printers, and laptops.
- Technical Review Manual (TRM) list of approved products.
- Approved mandatory sources for procurements.
- Not IT
- Training courses
- Travel
- Should not be buying (e.g., personal IT products such as software)
Purchases over $2500
- The person buying the product is responsible for ensuring compliance and providing the credit card holder a completed and signed EIT Procurement Checklist.
- When the credit card holder signs the Pre-Purchase Worksheet, he/she is only certifying that the EIT Procurement Checklist is completed and attached.
- If the credit card holder fails to ensure that a completed EIT Procurement Checklist is attached, then the credit card holder assumes responsibility for Section 508 compliance.

Hainan Chinese New Year customs
In Hainan, the eyes of all the folk who are at the will of the human desire to do it artificially, so,tory burch purse both in front of all the folk act with a "do" words, such as making clear and bright do relatives (ie marriage), and northerners, "New Year", Hainan dialect called "to do years." Be noted that, "do in" refers to "doing the old year" that the New Year. However, in Hainan, the country, "New Year" is not the year to "do".
Hainan, saying, "Mid-Autumn Festival in fear, afraid of fifteen months." Mid-Autumn Festival is over, preparations for the country to "do the Year": castrated cock, filling fat duck, pig ring, was prepared to nike sneakers Entered the lunar calendar in late December, "do in" the atmosphere is getting thick it!
The first is December 24 to give a "public kitchen." According to legend, "the public kitchen," is the Jade Emperor sent the god of good and evil human supervision, must be heaven this day each year to report to the Jade Emperor. To this end, every household with a bamboo or bamboo sticks to the front of best basketball shoes, inside the house, under the full house on the estate cleaned, incense burners and new ones have to clean up ashes, night festival is set fruit wine prepared for the "public kitchen "off.
One while stocks' kitchen the public, "a long on busy" Fat City. " In the past, the town's "city", 365 days a year, only a few days ago, "City", only "fat" one "fat"! Three birds to sell, sell gold and silver candles, selling fruit Jing Tang Gao, and sell "doll pieces" (paintings), and sell "Wang Yue plaster" (that mountebank), dishes pots to sell, and sell "Festival in orange ", and sell all kinds of clothes ... ... sold there have to buy, gucci shoes sale to buy dried vegetables, and buy wet food (instant that vegetables), buy" public worship "offerings, and bought clothes in , and buy paintings couplet of ... ... throughout the morning, each "city", and knows the weight of the child, and put the basket, pushing the car, carrying a child, old, young, male, man to woman ... ... people go, steady stream.

skiboysteve - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - link1) wow what a great quarter for Intel! All the cloud services are really helping them sell data center stuff
2) why the hell did they buy McAfee? Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkThis is Intel's first full quarter with Ivy Bridge-EX out on the market. A lot of companies have been waiting for this chip as it brings a new platform (remember there was no Sandy Bridge-EX). I know of companies who are still using Nehalem-EX servers in production and looking to replace them after 4 years of good service.
Enterprise storage and networking are also doing pretty well for Intel.
The future is bright in this area with some revolutionary technologies like silicon photonics on the horizon.
The only real enemy in this space isn't a hardware competitor but rather crazy software licensing as socket, core and memory count increases. The hardware is good but if companies can't afford to run their software on it, demand will flat line over the long term. I expect Intel to become more involved in some open source projects as a message to several key enterprise developers. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkThey bought McAffee because they wanted/needed software to go with new security features in hardware. The problem is that they bought McAffee and not someone who could innovate. Software that went hand in hand for managing encryption on their SSDs, took advantage of their AES instructions to encrypt drives that are missing hardware based encryption. They should have bought Symantec. I don't think Symantec's software is great, but they do execute.and their software is decent. Intel should have bought Nvidia when AMD bought ATI. They've wasted a lot of money developing GPU hardware and software assets.
The problem with buying Symantec and Nvidia is the cost. Actually, buying Nvidia now makes more sense than ever before. They have a better mobile business than Intel (chips and modems), obviously GPUs, enterprise GPUs, CUDA, and software assets. And they had a great chipset business till Intel and AMD forced them out. Intel made a huge mistake by not letting Nvidia get an x86 development license; they forced them into the ARM camp. Reply
sonicmerlin - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkUh... Intel can't buy nvidia, as the purchase would be shot down by antitrust authorities. It's kind of hard to take the rest of your comment seriously when you don't even realize that much. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - link"All the cloud services are really helping them sell data center stuff"
It remains to be seen how sustainable this is. Intel have had no serious competition in the data center for years. POWER and Oracle/Sun are specialized (and expensive) tastes, AMD burns too much power, ARM has been limited to 32 bit.
Over the next year the ARM story changes, with 64-bit available, the LAMP stack becomes standardized thanks to Linaro, and the ARM server spec becoming standardized. A57 should be, for most purposes good enough in latency (ie single-threaded throughput) but with the ability to run mass throughput at lower power and substantially lower cost than Xeon.
Intel may try to fight back by dramatically lowering the cost of Xeons, but while that may stave off ARM in the datacenter, it won't help sustain their revenue. Reply
sonicmerlin - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkData centers want higher IPC. They don't want to deploy 10x as many servers, even if the overall TDP of ARM is better, because there are large costs associated with housing and maintaining each and every server. As long as Intel leads in IPC they'll never need to lower Xeon prices. Reply
przemo_li - Monday, July 21, 2014 - linkMore than 50% of costs for data centers come from POWER usage.
So no, neither IPC, nor power usage counts.
Power efficiency (how much we can do with given power budget) matter.
And if ARM SoCs offer improvements, without disruption, then they will be choosen over Intel offering in the blink of the eye.
Only saving grace Intel have currently is software support. And not "end-user software" as that is gcc recompile away (as it should be!), but firmware/drivers mess current "embeded" ARM OEMs create.
You can grab Intel source code, heck You do not even have to. Just Linux kernel (Intel code is included after all), compile it, slap into Your distro of choice, and You are ready.
With ARM You need those release-once-forget-about-customers-after-that binary blobs.
AMD went so far as to OpenSource their gaming GPU business for the sake of servers. ARM crowd laggs behind seriously.
Lack of flexibility -> higher costs of maintaining & less innovation. Reply
jobo32 - Thursday, July 17, 2014 - linkI wonder if other companies besides Microsoft will start looking into FPGAs to get several times faster performance. Microsoft claimed to get 10x better performance for their FPGA based Catapult project Reply
przemo_li - Monday, July 21, 2014 - linkIntel is integrating some FPGA's in their server lineup.
So everybody will be able to try their luck with them. Reply
TheJian - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkSo mobile revenue of about 50mil but losing a billion on it. So basically you are completely GIVING these away to sell them...LOL. Quit and your earnings go up a full billion dollars.
Why does anandtech tell revenue instead of EARNINGS from each dept? Or heck better yet post BOTH. Intel paying you to NOT say how much mobile is losing (950mil last quarter)? Otherwise why leave out that VERY important detail to shareholders who say they should just give it up (many analysts say this). Not expected to put out anything decent on mobile until 2016 really and the competition won't sit still. We keep hearing, the next rev will do it...ROFL. Now they've given up that and say two revs it will happen (or more depending on who you believe).
By NV or give up mobile. Now that would be a HUGE game changer especially with Intel's process. Can you imagine qcom trying to keep up with a 14nm K1 Denver? Intel wouldn't have to GIVE these away, they'd sell themselves. Pay whatever Jen Hsun needs to leave or merge (a few billion on top of the buy price in a personal check should do it) and be done with it. Imagine the 14nm gpus coming out too. Again total dominance in mobile and gpu for a long time if they pump out 14nm NV stuff while owning them. Also I'm sure they'll be able to sue qcom at some point as IMHO they hide their gpu tech from everyone because they are stealing tech they should be paying for (or why hide while everyone else shows the cards?). Nobody is really using fancy tricks these days (which is why amd/nv basically tie each gen now), so what is qcom hiding? Intel would have the money and lawyers to take qcom down a notch at some point.
NV is the only way to stop the ARM juggernaut (if you can't beat them join then right?). Make a move Intel before arm enters desktops and takes 21% of that just like they did notebooks already. With android L and 64bit they can move to desktop for at least a decent portion of users who don't do much more than browse, email and casual gaming. That describes a LOT of users.
I don't believe the bump for intel will last long, it mainly happened because of xp dying via MS support. Companies were forced to look forward more. Reply
ai744 - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkQuite the load of delusional nonsense you've got here. Reply
stadisticado - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkI'm...not sure you know how to read financial statements. Also, Anand has no obligation to post any of this - he provided what was relevant - if you want to conduct a witch hunt at least link to the PUBLIC 10-Q which has all the info you're claiming.
On your last point, you're insane if you think antitrust lawyers would let INTC buy NVDA. If they would ever let it happen if would have happened in '07-'08 when INTC figured out Larrabee wasn't going to work. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkThe chart of process vs time is showing a pretty clear exponential decay curve. Barring a miracle, I'd say we're looking at an even longer time between 14 and 10nm. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkNot really... you're forgetting that the gains from die shrinks are exponential. Going from 180nm to 130nm got us 1.9x as many transistors per amount of space, while going from 32nm to 22nm got us 2.1x as many transistors per amount of space.
It's the length of time that determines if things are slowing down, and while they did shift, there wasn't really any major change from one period to the next. Some were 7 quarters, some were 10 quarters, but 90nm and 32nm both lasted roughly similar amounts of time (only one quarter difference) and they're the better part of a decade apart. 14nm is the first one to really be slower, so while that might indicate that they're hitting a wall (and that 10nm will also be long in the making), the graph alone doesn't show that. Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkIndeed. One factor not mentioned is the desire to go to 450 mm wafers in that time frame. Producing more per wafer is going to be necessary with the need for more production time due to double/triple pattering.
The long 22 nm and 14 nm life spans to allow Intel to recover more on the capital investments into those lines. While the tick-tock time line looks like an exponential decay curve, the price of the fabs looks like an exponential growth curve.
As for 10 nm, it may be the last mass production silicon node. Intel is doing 7 nm prototyping and 5 nm research, but they're unsure they can bring them out of the lab in a cost effective manner. Even if they can get 7 nm to work on a mass production line, as I alluded too it may simply be too expensive to do. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkWhat's hammering Intel and forcing a delay in 14nm is the same thing that's resulted in everyone else's 20nm processes being severely delayed (Intel's 22nm was just large enough not to need it). Scaling double patterning from the lab to production has proved much harder than anyone expected and blown everyone's timeline for their next node. This is, hopefully, a one off hit and the Intel's transition to 10nm along with all the half node company's transitions to 12(?)nm will return to the expected 2 year time scale. Reply
TheJian - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkhttp://news.investors.com/technology/071514-708941...
Mobile accelerated their loss now to 1.1B. So you're giving away 1.15Billion in chips to make 50mil in revenue. How hard is it exactly to sell an Intel SOC? Over a billion dollars hard I guess...LOL. Buy NV or lose 1.5B per quarter by xmas. AT some point this hurts fab R&D. I mean we're talking 4B+ this year in losses on mobile, and it was almost that over that 12 months already. You're almost losing the cost of a whole fab...ROFL. Claiming you're on track to hit 40mil socs sold for tablets is a joke when you give them all away.
$5B was the expected price of AZ fab that is currently empty in my state ;) Go figure. Open the fab and fab MORE stuff for others or eventually lose your butt to IBM/Samsung/GF (not so much GF but they gain also as IBM develops the tech and sammy/gf run with it, IBM just announced 3B for 7nm and below tech) as ARM cannibalizes some desktop sales (and at some point some server probably too) and yet more notebooks as they amp up perf with 64bit, 20nm that make them OK for low-end desktops at least. Surely at some point NV puts an NV card into an ARM desktop and really competes using OpenGL games pushed by google, valve etc. Surely a steamos port is being worked on for arm by now with close ties of valve/NV on steamos.
MS laying off now soon (thousands) and as soon as ARM marches on desktops I'd expect more as less WINTEL will be needed. Also russia going internal for arm chips, 8 core this year 16 core next year and again NO WINTEL. 700K PC's and 300K servers will no longer be bought every year from WINTEL. Layoffs at MS and an empty fab an Intel while mobile loses over a billion a quarter now. See that writing on the wall? It's yelling at you. Germany going linux too and at some point arm surely along with others due to NSA crap no doubt. NSA crap is really going to hurt usa companies over time (russia chips expected to hit routers & switches at some point to, to avoid spying), and they never should have went as far as they did for no real returns on tapping etc. Under oath they said how many crimes were stopped by all our billions of wasted dollars? ;) Now it's starting to cost our companies big time. Uh oh, I think I hear NSA knocking at my door...LOL. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkNo one who mistrusts US equipment for NSA reasons is going to use Russian chips. Come on. Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkIt is true, Intel isn't as agile as it needs to be with SoC variety. They seemingly want to produce one or two jack of all trade SoC's instead of tailoring to the demands of specific OEMs for what they want to do for a specific end product. With Intel opening up their fabs and even licensing their cores to be part of 3rd party SoC's (see Rockchip) this appears to be changing.
However, if you are expecting ARM to sweep into the desktop is similar to the promise of Linux on the desktop. They're not going to happen for ultimately the exact same reason: legacy software. That means Windows running on x86 hardware. As demonstrated by many still hanging on to Windows XP after support has ended is an example of just how entrenched Windows + x86 is in the market. Sure, there is demand to move away from it due to MS licensing costs and the price of PC hardware vs. cheaper ARM SoC but competing products are worthless if they don't run the software you need.
The server market is a bit different. While x86 is dominate, that market has broken its dependance on Windows and x86 due to the fall out form the Unix wars a decade ago. Enterprise applications are commonly either open source and/or Java base to shed themselves of OS and hardware lock-in. As such ARM is expected to quickly move into the web server niche. However, the enterprise market values RAS and security, something ARM as a platform has yet to demonstrate in production. Reply
yankeeDDL - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkI mostly agree with you.
I do have one comment though: I think that the reason XP is still in use is because people don't care.
There's no fundamental advantage using Windows7, except the "artificial" one imposed by Microsoft which is support.
Obviously, Microsoft makes money selling Windows, not giving "free" support, so it is in their interest to push out new and "better" versions of Windows to push consumers to upgrade.
But the truth is, up until XP, all previous Windows versions were "crap". XP was usable and intuitive. Windows7 is, arguably, better, but if you still had support for it, would you really be compelled to update? A Core2Duo still does a good job for a non-gaming PC, so why update?
That's why they tried to "change the game" with Windows8 (and failed miserably). Now they're already on Windows9. Honestly, who in the world feels that Windows7 is inadequate? It's an OS for crying out loud: I use software, not the OS. As long as it's stable, I'm happy. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkYou are conflating a whole lot of separate markets as a single "desktop" market.
There are special-purpose devices (like ATMs, cash registers, industrial control machines). No-one cares about these --- they can run off the cheapest Atom, and they run until they die. They're not going to keep Intel rich.
There are ENTERPRISE desktops. These think they need to run Office and some PoS customized app written in Visual Basic in 1997 and never updated since then. THAT is when Intel and MS have a lock.
There are HOME desktops (to a large extent this also includes schools and colleges and small businesses). These are much more flexible in what they run, and don't care about the details as long as they get functionality -- they want word processing, not Word, or Browsing, not IE. We are already seeing this space fragment. This is where Apple, of course, lives. But also Chromebooks (to the extent they are sold) and plenty of iOS and Android activity in varying form factors. All this activity makes Wintel compatibility just not that valuable.
So basically Wintel has one lockin, the enterprise. This is a valuable lockin, but it's not massively growing; on the contrary it gets nibbled at every day. The Apple/IBM alliance announced yesterday is one more part in this nibbling. It's a small part (for now) but sets the tone.
Part of MS' problem is that we now have a pretty good model, which covers a large number of use cases, for how to replace that software written in 1998 --- have the backend serve up HTML which gets displayed either in a web browser or some sort of mobile wrapper app. I expect many of the IBM replacement mobile apps they talk about to be written that way, and every one that does is a further proof of concept.
This doesn't help a few specialized cases (people who push Excel hard, a very limited market; people who use Office VB macros to design an enterprise workflow, a rather larger market) but it means Wintel SW lockin is fighting an ongoing battle, and losing a little every month. Reply
Speedfriend - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - link@TheJian
ARM marches on desktops - what a joke, the fastest ARM chips barely outperform an Atom and no-one is suggesting putting them in a desktop. It is more likely Intel eats Arm at the higher end of mobile with Broadwell than Arm eats Intel in desktop.
Look at what the market is telling you, since March Intel is up 23% while ARM is down 19%.
Giving away 40m tablet chips is the right strategy, once people try a Wintel tablet, they are not going to go back to some crappy android tablet. Even my iPad Air is barely used for anything other than surfing the web or watching movies. Trying to do anything productive on it is like slamming your head against a wall. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - link"ARM marches on desktops - what a joke, the fastest ARM chips barely outperform an Atom and no-one is suggesting putting them in a desktop."
The fastest ARM chip is Apple A7. This performs equivalent to an i3/i5/i7 at equivalent GHz.
iPad Air has an A7 at 1.4GHz. MBA has an i5 at 1.6GHz. MBA feels faster because the i5 turbos up to 2.4GHz, and Intel turbo'ing is so good that it can run most "snappy" UI stuff at the 2.4GHz.
There is every reason to expect that A8 will run at same IPC but clocked at 2GHz.
A6 was a 2x speedboost over A5. (about 1.6 from process, 1.2 from micro-architecture)
A7 was a 1.5x speedboost, all micro-architecture. I'd expect A8 to be about a 1.5x speedboost, about 1.4x from process and 1.1 from micro-architecture).
In the six years since Nehalem, Intel has sped up by about 1.25x, all microarchitecture since all their process has been used in lowering power. (This is not quite true, and is especially misleading in the Y category, because turboing has been used to give substantial frequency boosts to nominally low frequency ULV processors).
OK, that's the state of the art today. Extrapolating to the future, the patterns that matter are
- Apple is vastly more agile than Intel. This is primarily because they don't have the baggage of 30+ years of accumulated poor ideas that have been added to the x86, none of which have ever been removed.
- Apple has had it easy so far, especially in improving micro-architecture, because they have been playing catchup. There is not much scope for improvement there as long as they stick to conventional micro-architecture. BUT there is also no reason that they have to stick to conventional micro-architecture. They aren't Intel, terrified of change and with an unbelievable test burden. They are in a better position than anyone else to experiment with an unconventional micro-architecture like kilo-insruction processing, which could net them another 30% or so.
- Apple have managed to match Intel with a core that is smaller (100mm^2 for the ENTIRE A7, about 35% of which is stuff that's not CPU or GPU), cheaper to make, on a lower process. The ARM hoard will catch up to this point eventually. They can ALSO move faster than Apple, and they will be more aggressive given that Apple has shown proof of concept.
- There seems no intrinsic reason why Apple cannot, over the next three or four years, copy the parts of Intel that matter and which they are missing to reach parity. More cores is trivial. Higher frequency is primarily a question of how much power you're willing to burn. If Apple wanted, they could copy AVX2 and go with wider vectors, but I think they see HSA as more promising way to solve that problem. Better uncore (NoC, common NUCA-based L3, etc) are coming soon, I expect in the A8. HW transactional memory is coming soon, I also expect in the A8.
The issue is NOT that Intel is ahead today. The issue is that
- Intel is less agile
- Intel has no compelling technical advantages
- Intel cannot survive on the cost structure that the ARM ecosystem is used to.
Intel won't be replaced on the desktop tomorrow. But in five years...? Reply
Speedfriend - Thursday, July 17, 2014 - link"The fastest ARM chip is Apple A7. This performs equivalent to an i3/i5/i7 at equivalent GHz."
No, an i7 at 1.4ghz, using only 2 cores scores half the A7 time on sunspider.
There is also no evidence of the A7's ability to be clocked to anywhere near the level that the i5/i7 run at.
From all accounts, the A7 is way behind Haswell on a performance per watt basis.
There is far more evidence that Intel is moving down the power consumption curve towards Apple than Apple moving up the processor power curve. Reply
chizow - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkNot surprising in the least, I just realized a few days ago that I had purchased 4 Haswell-based products over the last year (2x4770K desktop builds, 1xNUC, 1xSurface Pro 3). Intel really did an amazing job scaling this architecture for all work loads while maintaining high performance and full x86 Windows compatibility.
I think we will see more of this in the future and this was the first quarter where the market came to the same realization that I did over a year ago. I'm done with the novelty of all these gadgets running toy OSes like Android and iOS, when it comes down to business, gaming and productivity, there's just no replacing a full blown x86 ISA chip running full blown Windows. As much as Win8/.1 are maligned, it's really a better OS after you get past the fullscreen Modern UI (which is thankfully going away with Threshold). Reply
mkozakewich - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkTo be fair, there's no reason Windows can't run as well on an ARM chip. There's just the matter of older software, but anything new could be cross-compiled if Microsoft allowed binary executables on the Win8 desktop.
I completely agree with you on Windows, though. I simply couldn't have a productivity machine that uses Android or iOS. People have debated between the interfaces between OSX and Windows for years; but when you bring the argument to things like Android, Windows wins hands-down. It's just a lot easier to use. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkAccording to everybody, Intel included, the refresh in business PCs caused by XP's EOL is driving sales but consumer is still soft. So not much of a good news since it's a temporary thing and lets face it ,the worst is still to come for them. For now other devices have made the traditional PC less relevant but those new devices will start to replace PCs at some point - it should have started already but the mobile players don't seem too interested.
14nm is in theory arriving late this year but it seems very low volume and a proper roll out will be over the first half of next year.
10nm might have to come rather fast or the foundries might catch up, things are heating up there and chances are TSMC and Samsung will be racing each other hard.
Hope AMD's new cores will be competitive because this lack of competition is just allowing Intel to offer less and less, else at some point soon they'll start selling us mobile SoCs sized chips at 300$, just because they can. Reply
stadisticado - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkDo you mean sized or powered? As it is, baytrail is ~100mm2. Haswell is north of 175mm2. As gfx becomes more and more prominent that gap is going to narrow, especially as Atom and Core start using the same gfx subsystems. As for power, that will also narrow a lot. My speculation is that fanless Broadwell and Skylake will maybe, maybe be 25% faster on the CPU side than Cherrytrail/Broxton. That's simply due to a TDP limitation. Reply
errorr - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkARM isn't a danger in desktops because desktops are slowly being marginalized. The only desktop like comps that are worth anything will be workstation grade stuff when you need the heavy lifting a Intel chip will give you.
Intel is in no danger of becoming irrelevant as worst thing that could happen is they become the worlds most profitable fab company even if TSMC or Samsung catch up. As long as the barrier to entry for foundries is approaching $10b they won't have a level of competition to eat away their revenues for a while.
Long term I'm also not so sure how profitable mobile chips will be as a segment. The value is all in the fab and chip design is becoming commoditized with the fabless semi companies. When 3g is no longer necessary for modems Qualcomm loses their biggest leverage and their margins will drop.
Intel will need to worry about the server market which has been and will be their cash cow, mobile will be a plus but margins will fall and hurt the stock if they try and compete to heavily in mobile.
If Otenelli had taken the margin hit by fully committing to mobile first before he retired things might be different but that ship has sailed and the new CEO may not have the job security necessary to lose that much money by foregoing xeons for mobile.
Remember AMD hot killed because everyone expected them to make Intel sized margins and they just couldnt because Intel was the outlier and only in retrospect do people realize that AMD tossed their most important asset by splitting with GloFo. The most valuable asset AMD has left is their cross licensing deal with Intel from the 64 bit transition that allows them to use Intel x86 IP and kept the feds from opening an antitrust case against Intel.
The future is unwritten but Intel will be fine but not the dominant player it once was. Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkWe need competition so badly... those margins are insane. Reply
stadisticado - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkNot really...technology inherently favors monopolies with high margins (see also: Apple in tablets/phones, Google and Facebook in their areas).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/6/2014 (1174 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE face of the simmering CFL labour war is the guy earning $45,000. But that's not at all what it's about.
The players association is right when they say its players don't make enough money, but it's not true across the board and that's why this fight should be more about league minimums than an increased salary cap.
The players will be in position to go out on strike on Tuesday in accordance with Alberta labour laws, meaning it's likely the Bombers will host the Argos on Monday in a pre-season game, and if they hit the picket line in pursuit of a higher salary cap a lot of men will be sacrificing for the gain of a few.
In the NHL, increases to the cap have served to squeeze out the middle class and unless the CFL's minimum salary is properly adjusted, the next CBA will push the league farther down a road towards a class structure of haves and have-nots.
The stars always get their money, and in the CFL, quarterbacks and starting Canadians take up a good chunk of the cap. If the cap goes up, so will their salaries, and likely by an disproportionate amount to the rest of the players in the league. Is that what this negotiation should be about? Getting more money for the already well-paid few?
The fact the CFLPA proposed the new minimum of $50,000 and the number was then agreed upon by the league is telling. This is far less about the salaries of the many and more about those of the few.
If the players association and CFL want to help out more players and get the game back on the field, boost the minimum and pull back on the top end of the cap proposals.
If this is, in actuality, a fight about helping out the underpaid, what about the truly little guy? Shouldn't more of the focus be on the bottom end? Shouldn't the DB from Tuscaloosa have the opportunity to earn a fair wage?
Or, in this league and union, is that a right reserved only for Canadians and quarterbacks? United as one, indeed.
The players' union has asked for the league minimum to be raised by $5,000 in the first year of the deal and then by $1,000 every year after and the league has agreed. Where the two sides differ, however, is in the degree by which the salary cap should increase.
The players want it to rise to $6 million over the course of a new CBA, while ownership has pegged the top of the cap at $5.15 million.
A compromise that keeps the cap at a manageable level for ownership but allows more players in the league to earn more money than they do today is easily achieved. Veterans also deserve to earn more, and the cap should rise to facilitate that. But right now, the fight is simply about "more," while it should centre on how to distribute future salary gains.
Two CFL general managers told the Free Press this week that any increase in the salary cap would result in quarterbacks and Canadian offensive linemen sponging up most of the new cash.
"The rank-and-file U.S.-born player isn't going to see any of these gains. We (GMs) will spend the money on areas where there is limited supply and lots of demand. Quarterbacks and Canadian starters," said one of the GMs, demanding anonymity.
Cap increases, under both union and league offers, are unmarked and can be spent in any fashion.
"The same guys that get the most money today will be getting the most if the cap goes up," said another GM. "A higher cap won't change how we pay guys just coming into the league or American players where supply outstrips demand. Quarterbacks and Canadian starters will eat up the cap, just like they do now."
A third GM, however, believes the gains would be spread around.
"I think it will be proportional," he said. "If the cap goes up a certain percentage, the salaries of all players will see an incremental raise. Or maybe there will be bidding wars for Canadians and quarterbacks and the rest of the guys will be paid the same as they are now. But I think a rise in the cap will benefit all players."
Why not prevent GMs from falling into such a trap? Why not make it so every player in the CFL can call his wage fair?
The players are right when they say, "We're the show." They're wrong, however, when they limit the protection of their brotherhood to the alreadyfortunate few. Every player on the field matters. The union accuses the league of not wanting to share new revenues, but in reality they're just as bad when it comes to splitting the pie.

A SECRET garden in Dursley is starting to take shape –but needs more helping hands to make the community space as special as possible.
Sustainability group Transition Cam and Dursley with several partners has taken the first steps to transform a barren piece of wasteland behind the Chantry Centre on Long Street into a beautiful social area where plants and vegetables can be grown.
Already scores of organisations including Dursley Scouts, World Jungle and Dursley Lions have helped clear the 8,000sqm of overgrown land, with ideas to improve so far including raised beds, horizontal growing, a cob oven and an outdoor seating area.
But to help it take that next step, the group is holding an open day on Saturday, June 7 from 9am until 1pm.
There is also going to be a regular weekly volunteering session on Wednesdays, from 9am until 12noon where each week a different garden project will be looked at, from weeding and planting to building and installing.
Other projects taking place include vertical planting, creating furniture and staircases out of palettes, installing rainwater capture systems, interactive water features, no dig beds, garden structures, willow weaving, wild flower sowing, composting and growing.
Transition Cam and Dursley spokeswoman, Rachel Savage, is keen to see as many people getting involved as possible.
"Come along to share your skills and knowledge, or to learn new skills with a fun group of hands-on, practical people. We'd love to see you," she said.
"The garden is being managed according to permaculture principles so there'll be lots of healthy conversation and ideas to take home to your own plot."
Permaculture is generally the idea of ecological design and construction that develops sustainable and self-maintained agricultural systems.
As well as volunteers the group is looking for donations of gardening tools and materials to help with the work, including everything from spades to wheelbarrows, paint to wood as well as compost, seeds and everything in between.
On the back of the open day, a introductory workshop into permaculture is taking place at the Chantry Centre on Sunday, June 8 from 1pm to 4pm, costing £4.
Full details are available at www.transitioncamdursley.org.uk and if you would like to get in touch, email: email@example.com

A slim, attractive Slovakian events manager was jailed and her balding Moroccan student husband was told he would be deported after they were convicted of having a sham marriage.
Petra Tatalova, 32, and Zakaria Azzouzi, who is eight years younger, married at Barnet Registry office in North London on March 9, 2011, after memorising facts about each other on a crib sheet.
The marriage allowed Azzouzi to remain in the UK after his visa expired because his bride was an EU citizen, St Albans crown court was told.
The couple got away with it until police arrested wedding fixer Moroccan Mourad Nabil, 43, in November 2011. The crib sheets were discovered at his home in Borehamwood.
On the bridegroom's sheet were Tatalova's date of birth, her star sign of Scorpio and the fact she had worked in the UK for ten years and was an events manager in Moorgate.
On the bride's sheet were: Azzouzi's date of birth and that he had been studying to learn English at a college in New Oxford Street since June 2010.
It also stated that the couple met in June 2010 in a coffee shop in Oxford Street and moved in together that September.
During a 16-day trial, the couple sat in the court dock separated by Nabil, who was placed between them.
Judge Stephen Gullick said it was clear to him that Nabil had exercised a "Svengali-like malign influence" over Tatalova by getting her to agree to marry Azzouzi.
He sentenced Tatalova to 12 months and Azzouzi to 21 months in jail. Azzouzi will be deported immediately because of the length of time he has spent in custody and on an electronic tag, which amounted to an equivalent sentence of 616 days.
Nabil, who had earlier been convicted of an £18,502 housing benefit fraud over a three-to-four year period, was sentenced to a total of two years in prison.
During the trial, prosecutor Laura Blackband told the jury the three defendants went to Barnet Registry Office on February 8, 2011, to book a ceremony and answer questions, aimed at establishing that the marriage was genuine.
Nabil said he was there to act as an interpreter for the bridegroom. The couple were able to convince the officials and a licence was granted - until the crib sheets were discovered.
But Ms Blackband told the court the ceremony was a "sham, bogus marriage" and the fixer was Mr Nabil.
"Mr Nabil was known to Mr Azzouzi. They both come from Morocco. Mr Azzouzi's mother organised with Mr Nabil that he would secure a fake marriage so he could stay here as the husband of an EU national. It was an entire put-up job planned for Mr Azzouzi to stay in this country when his visa ran out in May 2011," said Ms Blackband.
She said Tatalova came to the UK in 2000 from Slovakia and, as an EU National, was entitled to stay. She had previously been in a relationship with Nabil.
When Nabil was questioned, he told the officers he had been "intimate" with Ms Tatalova five or six years earlier. He said she had introduced the younger man to him as her boyfriend and told the police he did not get on with him.
He maintained it was a genuine marriage and he did not organise it.
Ms Blackband said: "He accepted they were an odd couple. Mr Azzouzi was eight years younger and a Muslim from Morocco and she was a Christian from Slovakia. He said it was a genuine marriage and that he had assisted with the preparations because Mr Azzouzi had a terrible memory."
Tatalova told police she met Azzouzi in a coffee shop in the West End and that he had proposed to her on her birthday.
He sent her a card with the words: "Will you marry me?" written inside. She also said it was a genuine marriage, but said he had "upped and gone" and she did not know that he had gone to Manchester.
Azzouzi, now 24, had been arrested in Manchester for an unrelated offence on November 5, 2011.
When questioned, he stuck with the story about meeting his bride in a coffee shop, but once he was shown the seized crib sheet, he confessed it was a sham marriage.
Tatalova, of High Road, Whetstone; Azzouzi, whose address in court was High Road, Whetstone; and Nabil, of Stretton Way, Borehamwood, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to breach immigration laws by arranging a bogus marriage.
The jury of three men and eight women found all three guilty.
An earlier trial began on December 3, 2012, but it was stopped on December 13, 2012, when the Home Secretary refused a visa from Morroco to Azzousi's mother, who had been called as a defence witness, from entering the country. She was allowed into the country for the current trial.
Robin Griffiths, representing Azzouzi, said: "He is concerned to return as soon as possible to the country from whence he came."
For Nabil, Michael Field said: "It was not a commercial transaction. These three people were in some sort of relationship before the marriage."
He said the benefit claim against Hertsmere Borough Council had not started fraudulently and that Nabil had suffered serious mental illness.
Ian Doughty, for Tatalova, said: "It is a sad and desperate case for her. There was no gain in financial terms. The only explanation is that it was a misguided attempt by Miss Tatalova to assist. She paid the wedding expenses. She is ashamed to be here and is ashamed by the finding of the jury. She has always worked and never claimed benefit."
He said she was of previous good character and there was no risk of her reoffending.
Sentencing them, the judge said: "The sole purpose of the sham marriage was to allow Azzouzi to remain in the UK through his marriage to an EU national. This was a family-organised wedding orchestrated by Nabil."
He told Tatalova: "Why you became involved only you know. You have put all you have achieved in complete jeopardy by agreeing to go through this sham marriage. "
Paul Whitehead, from the Home Office's criminal and financial investigations team, said: "Our discovery of the crib sheet was crucial to the investigation, blowing a hole in any claims to credibility that the defendants may have had. Couples who are in genuine relationships do not need aide-memoires to help them recall their partner's age, address and even name.
"I hope these convictions demonstrate that our sham marriage investigations do not start and finish with the bride and groom. Our main aim is to identify the organisers who profit from - and fuel the demand for - sham marriages, destroy their criminal business and put them behind bars."

The representative of the former Barcelona coach says a move to the Rossoneri next summer could be an option, as is a possible move to England
The agent of Pep Guardiola has refused to rule out a move to AC Milan next season.
The Spaniard is currently unemployed after stepping down as coach of Barcelona at the end of last season and his agent, Jose Maria Orobitg, says a move to San Siro is not out of the question.
"Pep to Milan? Everything is possible for next season and I've already said this before," Orobitg told TMW.
"I always speak with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and he's always very kind. The relationship between us is good. Who knows what will happen in the future."
The former midfielder's representative also did little to deny reports linking him with a possible appointment in England.
"The doors are open for Milan, just like they are open for Manchester City, Chelsea and so on," he added.
"Pep will listen to offers and then he will evaluate them. But so far we haven't talked about Milan, which is also because Guardiola won't be coaching until next term. We will talk about his future again in June.
"I won't exclude anything, but when I say that everything is possible, then I'm also referring to Manchester City, Chelsea and other important clubs."
The 41-year-old coach won 13 trophies at Barca in a four-year spell as coach.

The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part One on DVD soon
It is almost here, The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part One to bu on DVD and Which I am so excited. But there is a little pressie for all those twilight fans out there when you buy it. In Target stores across the globe will be showing sneak peaks to the second part of Breaking Dawn. But this so awesome, how many of you's are going to flip out in the next few weeks. How many of you's will be like, wow it is going to end awesomely. It is going to be one of the hugest movies to be released on DVD ever since Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Parts one and two. Plus there was a segment on Enews that was one yesterday to show the fans what didn't get shown at the movies. Some of the cut scenes which I am going to watch tonight, I will give you the scenes that got left on the cutting room floor. Which I am a little bit annoyed, there were some crutical parts that were missing. Like Bella telling Renee why she is getting married in the first place and them having a mother daughter chat to catch up.
The Twilight Saga has been going on since the very first year which was 2008, when it first hit the big screens as we got to see Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for the very first time of playing Edward and Bella. There were many people saying that Robert Pattinson was not a good Edward. People where saying that Henry Cavil was meant to play him. But it ended up Robert in the end, because Henry would have been too old to play the iconic role. It seems as though this was meant to be. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast when from nobodies to 5 star celebrities over night. Now we have even have more to like now since we have met all the cast and crew of all five movies.
The trailer of the second part will be released on the 10th of this month, it is going to be shown world wide. So this means that all the cast from Breaking Dawn Part Two will have to go to the premire of the trailer on the 10th of this month. Plus there is many things to be said about the trailer.
These are the key points that might be going to be in the trailer:
- Edward Being a father-(Protecting his daughter, wife and Family)
- Bella being a vampre and a mother and interacting with humans-(We have to see what she is going to be like around Charlie and Sue)
- Alice's vision she has when Irina dobs them into the Volturi-(Which is horrible and I don't like it)
- Renesmee interacting with her family_(She is going to be spoiled and as we can tell)
- New vampire charaters being introduced-(Like Irish, Egyptian, Amazonian, Nomads and New Volturi faces)
- The death scene of (Carlisle, Bella, Edward, Aro, Jane, Jacob)
- Bella being Trained by (_______(who I don't know who it is)_________)
- Jasper and Alice leaving-(Might?)
- Esme, Alice, Jasper and Emmett coming home from making Bella's, Edward's and Renesmee's Cottage.-(We get to see Bella and Edward find peace at last in there own little house.)
- We get to see Bella finally equal to Edward -(Bella seeing what it is like to be a vampire at last)
- The denali Coven get a new member (I.E-Garrett and it will happen because it states in the book and they have to be true to the book)
So we are just going to have wait and see and watch the trailer for ourselves to see what is and will be going to happen in it.
The Trailer Of Part One:
Becoming a Vampire in my point of view:
To become a vampire, I reckon you have to ask to be one like Bella and there has to be a price though. Like Edward did with Bella.-(i.e-You have to marry your creator) But there is another option you have to be dying and there will be no survival rate because there is no chances that you will be able to survive something like Cancer or a blood decease. But even though this might be a good thing, what Carlise has done he is saving lives instead of taking lives like what nomads and vampires that only feed of the blood of humans. Plus I think you have to have a choice on what diet you want.
