Allah reveals in the Noble Qur'an that He will cause the moral values of the Qur'an to rule the world, that He will bestow power, dominion, strength and superiority on His true servants, that after a life full of troubles and oppression Muslims will be granted ease:
Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. ... (Surat an-Nur, 55)
[Their Lord revealed to them,] "We will leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My threat." They asked for Allah's victory, and every obdurate tyrant failed. (Surah Ibrahim, 14-15)
When Allah's help and victory have arrived and you have seen people entering Allah's religion in droves, then glorify your Lord's praise and ask His forgiveness. He is the Ever-Returning. (Surat an-Nasr, 1-3)
In the hadiths transmitted from the Prophet (saas), we are told that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in Hijri 1400 and will cause the moral values of Islam to rule the world. There will be a glorious climate in his day, in which peace, calm, justice, sovereignty, plenty, well-being and happiness prevail across the world. Some of the hadiths transmitted from our Prophet (saas) concerning the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) read as follows:
PEOPLE WILL GATHER AROUND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) IN THE YEAR 1400. (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 108)
Miqdad ibn al-Aswad says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (saas) say, "there will be nowhere that Islam has not entered, not a house made out of mud or a tent (in the desert)." (Abu Ali Fadal ibn Hassan ibn al-Fadl al-Tabarsi, Majma' al-Bayan fee Tafsir al-Qur'an, from the commentary on verse 33 of Surat at-Tawba)
... Hazrat Mahdi's (as) Qur'anic sovereignty [the dominion of Qur'anic moral values] WILL PERVADE THE EAST AND WEST OF THE EARTH... (Al-Mahdiyy al-Maw'ud, Vol. 1, p. 254- 255)
... He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will possess the Earth and fill it with justice, just as it has been filled with oppression and corruption. So whoever reaches him ought to come and join him, even if crawling on the snow, since he is Hazrat Mahdi (as). (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 14)
Below is the short biography of the great Sunni scholar Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul al-Barzanji:
… He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will fill the world that is full of oppression and evils with justice and mercy. (Sunan Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)
His [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] justice will cover all places and he will rule among people with the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas). (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 20)
… He will fill the earth with truth and justice, just as it is now filled with cruelty and torture. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/93)
His [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] justice will be as such that he will not wake a sleeping person or even shed one drop of blood. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 29)
Like the cup fills with water, so will earth fill with peace. There will be no enmity left between any people. All hostility, fighting, and envy will disappear. ... (Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
Once the earth is full of cruelty and enmity, one [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from my Ahl al-Bayt will emerge. He will fill the earth with justice, just as it was previously filled with oppression and enmity. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 11)
... Security will permeate all over earth and even a few women will be able to fulfill their hajj without the company of men. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 47)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will emerge from my community. Almighty Allah will send him to make people rich. My community will be blessed in that time, animals will live in plenty and the Earth will give forth many goods, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will justly distribute many, many goods among people. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)
He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will generously distribute goods among people without weighing or counting them. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)
… Due to the prevailing abundance none will accept them. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/340)
If, however, there is still anyone who denies that the moral values of Islam will rule the world in this century, despite the verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) in which Allah reveals His promise, then that person has to prove his logic, which is the reason for his denial, to Muslims using verses and trustworthy hadiths in the same way. He would have to explain to Muslims why Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be instrumental in the global dominion of Islamic moral values in this century and why they should abandon any such hopes, using clear evidence, and an accessible and uncomplicated language, as well as the trustworthy hadiths narrated from the Prophet (saas).
But if he says; "Islamic moral values will prevail this century" then he must also say "There must be someone who will cause the moral values of Islam to rule the world, and that is the Great Mahdi (as) of the End Times who will appear in Hijri 1400."
There is no doubt that, as Allah foretells in His verses and as the Prophet (saas) explicitly states in the hadiths, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in the rule of Islamic moral values, by Allah's leave. No matter how much some people with evil intentions may seek to conceal, cover up or prevent this, their devilish efforts will serve no purpose. Nobody will ever be able to interfere with the law of Allah, and in the same way that a saintly figure, a guide, came in previous centuries to purge the religion of subsequent innovations, so Allah had given that duty to Hazrat Mahdi (as) in this century and, by His leave, he will perform this great task of the End Times.

We are pleased with the results we have seen with tofacitinib in the Phase III rheumatoid arthritis (RA) program, which demonstrated efficacy in an extensive clinical program involving more than 5,000 RA patients. The FDA and the European Medicines Agency accepted for review our new drug applications for adult patients with moderately to severely active RA, and we have submitted that indication for review in Japan as well.
We expect that in five years many of our late-stage clinical trial starts will reflect a precision medicine R&D approach."
In 2011, we launched Xalkori (crizotinib), a treatment for a certain type of lung cancer marked by a specific gene mutation, in the U.S. It is a breakthrough in lung cancer treatment and is the first new drug approved by the FDA for lung cancer in six years. Xalkori represents our first entry into precision medicine—an R&D approach that defines the molecular and biologic predictors of efficacy and then groups patients based on the unique molecular or genetic characteristics of their disease. With this approach, medicines can be developed for better-defined populations of patients, often with superior efficacy when compared to medicines that are developed through non-precision approaches. We expect that in five years many of our late-stage clinical trial starts will reflect a precision medicine R&D approach.
Early in 2012, we received FDA approval for Inlyta for patients with previously treated advanced renal cell carcinoma. With the approval of Inlyta and with other medicines such as Sutent and Xalkori as well as the work under way in finding new treatments in hematology and lung cancer, we are building a leading oncology business.
Behind these therapies, there is a next wave of new molecules in development aimed at significant unmet medical needs, including Alzheimer's disease, Crohn's disease, a range of cancers, severe pain, and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. We are also investing in several promising vaccine candidates aimed at preventing life-threatening infectious diseases, such as meningitis.
I am encouraged by the depth and breadth of our current pipeline and believe it positions us well for the future.
Making the Right Capital Allocation Decisions
In 2011, we reduced our operating expenses and took several steps to allocate capital in ways that resulted in greater shareholder value. In fact, we returned more than $15 billion in capital to shareholders through dividend payments of over $6 billion and stock repurchases of approximately $9 billion.
During 2011, we also embarked upon a rigorous process to look at the long-term value-creation potential of all of our businesses. After completing this process, we determined that our Animal Health and Nutrition businesses are distinct enough from our core businesses that their value may not be fully realized within Pfizer and, therefore, may best be optimized outside. For this reason, we decided to explore strategic alternatives, including a full or partial separation of each of these businesses from Pfizer through a spin-off, sale or other transaction. We have been making good progress and remain on track to announce our strategic decision for each business in 2012, with any separations occurring between July 2012 and July 2013.

There are a couple of possible clues, but at this point that's all they are. North Korean state media bragged that Pyongyang's nuclear deterrence is now "diversified," which might hint that it started using uranium. On the other hand, state media also claimed that North Korea had "miniaturized" its warhead, which would make it more suitable for use in a bomb or even a missile; Reuters reported that plutonium is the better-suited material for this purpose. Although when I asked Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear proliferation expert who specializes in East Asia, whether or not this was accurate, he responded, "No, that seems to be speculation. Good news is the author has a 50/50 chance of being right."
So how do we find out for sure? That "requires quick detection and analysis of the different types of xenon gases produced in an atomic explosion," according to a recent New York Times story. The United States has special, highly sensitive airborne monitoring equipment and radiological stations around the world. The xenon gas has to be measured within the first 10 to 20 hours after the explosion, but the problem is that it can take a few days for the gas to leak out of North Korea's underground testing facility.

ITA Award Winners
PHILADELPHIA - The postseason accolades just continue to roll in for women's tennis freshman Sol Eskenazi. Eskenazi, who was also a first-team All-Ivy player in both singles and doubles, was recently named the ITA Northeast Region Rookie of the Year. Earlier this month Eskenazi was also awarded the Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
As soon as she began competing for Penn, Eskenazi immediately made her impact felt. In her first tournament of the fall, she won the Columbia Invitational Flight A singles draw with three straight-set wins. She also advanced to the semifinals of the Cissie Leary Invitational and entered the ITA Regional Draw as a seeded player. In doubles during the fall, Eskenazi played alongside Jaime Yapp-Shing and the duo won both the Columbia and Cissie Leary Invitational draws, qualifying for the ITA Regional draw.
In the spring, Eskenazi picked up right where she left off, assuming the No. 1 position in the lineup for Penn and winning her first three matches before being forced to retire from her fourth match in which she was in a first-set tiebreak with the 28th-ranked player in the country at the time. When she returned, the freshman reeled off five straight wins in a stretch that saw her win nine of her last 11 singles matches, including a 5-2 mark in Ivy League play. In doubles, she teamed up with Jules Rodin for all but one match and finished with an 11-4 mark during the spring. Penn's top doubles team went a combined 3-1 against nationally-ranked pairings.
Overall, Eskenazi finished her first season at Penn with a 19-5 overall record in singles and an 18-5 record in doubles for a combined total of 37 wins against just 10 losses this season. She is part of young team that looks to return six of its seven players that comprised the Penn lineup during the spring season.

Overweight in the preschool age group is prevalent, increasing, and of consequence. During the last 30 years in the U.S., the prevalence of overweight among youth has dramatically increased. Overweight in young children is associated with later overweight, with childhood conditions such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and type II diabetes, and with higher morbidity and mortality in adulthood.
Along with the long-term risks associated with overweight in the preschool age group, there come unique opportunities to intervene and alter the subsequent course of health and disease for these individuals. These regular visits allow both detection of elevated BMI levels and opportunities for intervention.
The overall goal of this research is to assess a comprehensive, innovative, primary care practice change intervention to prevent obesity among children age 2 through 5 years at elevated risk of obesity. To achieve this goal, we will conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 10 pediatric practices of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, a large multi-site group practice in eastern Massachusetts with a track record of research collaboration.
We will randomize five health centers to the intervention condition, and five health centers to the control (usual care) condition. The intervention will consist of state-of-the-science approaches to changing dietary, activity, and inactivity behaviors among the children.
The intervention period will be 1 year, followed by a 1 1/2 year maintenance follow-up period. Frequency of visits will be every 6 weeks for the first 6 months, and every 6 months after that. Participating families will complete a telephone-administered interview at baseline and all follow-up timepoints. There will be 3 types of measurements: 1) measurements made by the clinical staff that will also be used for outcomes in the research study (only height and weight); 2) measurements made by clinicians for feedback during counseling sessions, which will not be used for study outcomes; and 3) measurements made by the research staff for study outcomes and processes.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|2 Years to 6 Years (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 2.0 through 5.9 years receiving primary care in a multi-site group practice
- BMI > 95th percentile for age and sex, or 85th - 95th percentile if at least one parent is overweight
Exclusion Criteria:
- Child currently enrolled in a formal weight management program
- Child is in foster care
- Chronic conditions that may limit our ability to measure height and weight or that may interfere with their growth, physical activity, or dietary recommendations

BRIDGWATER Town are still yet to play in 2014 after both of their New Year games were postponed due to waterlogged pitches.
First the New Year's Day derby with Taunton Town suffered at the hands of the weather, with the Fairfax Park pitch unplayable last Wednesday – then Saturday's (January 4) clash with Bishops Cleeve was called off early in the morning following torrential rain over the previous days.
Manager Richard Fey believes the break has given his side a much needed rest and is confident the Robins won't experience the same number of cancellations as last season.
He said: "The break will do us good, as much as I was disappointed with the derby against Taunton being off on New Year's Day and Saturday versus Bishops Cleeve - I have sat down and looked at the half-way point of the season.
"And after playing 35 games already in all competitions and with 14 consecutive midweek games in that, the break will only do us good.
"The drainage the club put in at the start of the season is working and I'm confident we won't have a repeat of last season."

Bhubaneswar, Oct 25 (IANS) Floods triggered by heavy rains in Odisha have killed four more people, taking the toll to 47, and left thousands homeless, officials said Friday.
Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surya Narayan Patro said several rivers were overflowing in Ganjam district.
As more than two lakh people were cut off from the rest of the state, three choppers were pressed into service for relief and rescue operations, Patro told IANS.
Four members of a family, including two minors, died in Jagatsinghpur district after the house in which they were sleeping collapsed Thursday night, special relief commissioner P.K. Mohapatra said.
"The situation is serious. We are asking people to stay on rooftops. We will rescue them," he told reporters.
The government also ordered all schools and colleges in 12 districts closed till Monday.
Apart from Ganjam, the other districts affected by the latest round of rains and floods include Gajapati, Kandhamal, Khurda, Puri, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Bhadrak, Balasore, Mayurbhanj and Nayagarh.
More rains are expected in the next two days.
The Bhubaneswar-headquartered East Coast Railway said train services remained disrupted between Khurda Road in Odisha and Vijayanagaram in Andhra Pradesh after flood waters submerged rail tracks in some places.
As a result, long distance trains have been diverted.
The heavy rains have also cast a shadow over the One-Day International cricket match between India and Australia to be played at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium Saturday.
About 1.2 crore people in 17 of the state's 30 districts have affected, the government said.

I came across this via Boing Boing with the original via Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
Love (as in For The Love Of Game Development), is a mini MMO being created by one developer/artist – Eskil Steenberg. The visuals alone are gorgeous but his approach to building it and the technology he is using got me excited.
From Rock, Paper, Shotgun –
Since Steenberg is a one man show, he's relying on clever maths to build the world for him and then clever gamers to come in and help him figure out where to take it, and what to do with it…..Players will be able to do things like deform elements of terrain, allowing them to build tunnel networks or walls to defend their property. Items will also be intended for the good of all as Steenberg creates them and drops them into the world. You won't be picking up rifles in your adventures, but more likely the plans for the rifle-building machine, that can then be utilised by everyone in your village.
It's open source virtual reality that engages game designers, artists, players.
Some of the technology behind it is intriguing – like Verse – from the Love site –
Verse is a network standard that a allows graphics applications to share data in real-time. It means that two or more independent applications can share the same data. If you make a change in one you immediately see the change in the other. It is a free and open source system that can be integrated in to any graphics application to allow them to share data. You can collaborate with other users over the Internet, use it for content pipe-lining, games, VR, simulation and much much more.
Wouldn't it be cool to hook in Adobe tools into Verse so that designers can create items for Love, or even directly in Love?
Now, imagine if objects in the VR can tagged to offer richer description and interaction – perhaps he might be interested in XMP for VR entities?

Frequently Asked Questions
In search of the ephemeral
Impressionism and Sensation
It took two years, from 1887 to 1889, but when it was finished, Paris possessed a magnificent, miraculous edifice of iron and steel: the Eiffel Tower. The use of new technologies and constructions had made it possible to build in this way. Progress moved fast in the nineteenth century, with the advent of photography, the invention of electric motors, and the first telephones. Railway lines were soon connecting the entire continent of Europe, and in the street people were astonished to find their cities suddenly illuminated by electric street lamps.

The visual arts too were going through door spectacular developments in France, although the pace of change was initially slow. Aside from the Romantic school (represented by artists such as Eugène Delacroix), this was also the heyday of Neoclassicism (Jean-Léon Gérôme and Jean-Paul Laurens) and Realism (Jean-Baptiste Corot, Jean François Millet). The artists who had been trained at the leading art academies painted everything exactly as they envisaged it in their imagination. Mythological, Biblical and historical tales and events were the most prestigious subjects. Any artist wanting to establish his name would try to exhibit his work in the annual Salon. This meant submitting it to the scrutiny of the jury, the members of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, who applied strict selection criteria. The jury defined what was to be deemed 'beautiful', and looked askance at free spirits. The jury could make or break an artist's career.

Édouard Manet quarrelled on more than one occasion with the Salon jury, which rejected some of his paintings for failure to meet the set criteria. As time went on, the young artists made their protests heard more loudly. In 1863, when over half of the entries were rejected, the situation escalated to the extent that Emperor Napoleon III was obliged to intervene. The result was an alternative exhibition featuring work that had failed to please the jury: the 'Salon des Refusés'. But many rejected artists declined to take part, reasoning that building up a reputation as an outcast was a poor career move.
Manet did exhibit his paintings at the Salon des Refusés, and his Déjeuner sur l'herbe (which today hangs in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris) provoked an immediate outcry. Visitors were aghast to find themselves face to face with a nude lady – not even a Greek goddess – depicted sitting in a mundane park picnicking with two gentlemen clad in elegant suits, all painted in a multitude of bright dots of colour. The public thought the work a disgrace. Yet this Salon des Refusés became a breeding ground in the Paris art world for a new, ambitious group of painters.

Fleeting impressions
It was in 1874 that the young renegades made their collective presence felt in public for the first time. Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir (who had started his career by painting porcelain tea-cups) organised an exhibition in the studio of the photographer Paul Nadar, in which an amazing 31 painters took part. They included Claude Monet and his teacher Eugène Boudin. Paul Cézanne submitted his House of the Hanged Man. Alfred Sisley was represented with a landscape, and Camille Pissarro with his gardens in Pontoise. Other exhibitors included Berthe Morisot (the only woman) and Georges Seurat. Degas hoped, he wrote in a letter, that they would 'get a few thousand people to sit up and take notice'.
Alfred Sisley (1839–99), River Banks at Saint-Mammès [Berges de la rivière à Saint-Mammès], 1884. Oil on canvas, 50 x 65 cm © State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
In this objective, they succeeded gloriously. But they also unleashed a harsh, dismissive response from the critics. The journalist Louis Leroy, after visiting the show, dashed off a scornful review in the daily press. He reserved his most withering remarks for Monet's Impression, soleil levant (1872): 'Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape'. He went on to brand Monet and the rest a bunch of 'impressionists'. The word stuck: the artists themselves soon adopted it as a proud sobriquet. They saw Manet as their primary source of inspiration, although he refused to call his work impressionist.
Most of the visitors left the exhibition in a state of shock, having completely failed to comprehend the style of these painters. The impressionists had sparked a scandal. In their work, it was not the subject they depicted that mattered most, but the fleeting impression of that subject, painted in bright colours, in short, rapid strokes placed alongside each other. The rendering of natural light figured prominently in this approach.
Claude Monet (1840–1926), Corner of a Garden at Montgeron [Un coin de jardin à Montgeron], 1876. Oil on canvas, 175 x 194 cm © State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
The Impressionists did not work in stuffy studios like the Salon artists, but went outside and painted in the open air, like the Barbizon painters (whose brown and green landscapes, painted from life, were also turned away by the Salon jury). By this time, painting en plein air had become easier, since tubes of ready-made paint were available, and pre-primed canvases could be purchased, already stretched on timber frames.
New view of the world
The Impressionists' subjects were also different from those of their predecessors. They took no interest in depicting a Lion hunt such as the one by Delacroix in 1854, or Peasant woman guarding her cow near the woods, painted in 1865-1870 by the Realist Corot. Instead, they painted everyday scenes showing the new bourgeoisie that had been emerged in the industrial revolution: rowing trips and seaside outings, people walking along the banks of the Seine, parading along the boulevard, and enjoying Parisian night life. They were also fascinated by the constant changes of atmosphere in the natural world and the city. For the rest, the impressionists did not seek to convey any message with their work.
Take the painting Woman in the garden by Monet (1867), currently featured in the exhibition at the Hermitage Amsterdam. It shows a woman, seen from behind. It does not matter who she is; Monet is not interested in conveying her character. Her white dress and parasol do tell us something – about the fashions of the day, for instance. But the atmosphere of this painting is determined mainly by the effect of the sunlight and the sections left in the shade, and the subtle colour distinctions between them. Your first impression is always the most important, say the Impressionists. But we are also struck by the sheer cheerfulness, the carefree beauty – beauty for its own sake. The emphasis was no longer on what was depicted, but on how it was painted. It was a new look at the world.

For a better understanding of the sensation that the Impressionists caused in the late nineteenth century, from our vantage point in 2012 – no simple matter, since today Impressionism is universally accepted and admired – the exhibition in the Hermitage Amsterdam goes back to that time. It returns to the age in which those revolutionary painters first stirred up controversy. That is why, in this exhibition, you will find the impressionist paintings and drawings of Monet, Sisley, Pissarro and Renoir hanging alongside the Salon art of their contemporaries.
Edmond-Georges Grandjean (1844–1908), View of the Champs-Élysées from the Place de l'Étoile in Paris [L'avenue des Champs- Élysées, vue de la place de l' Étoile], 1878. Oil on canvas, 85.5 х 136.5 cm © State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
Look at the more traditional painting View of the Champs-Elysées from the Place de l'Étoile in Paris (1878) by Edmond-Georges Grandjean and compare it to the Impressionist Place du Théâtre Français in Paris (1898) by Pissarro or The River Banks at Saint-Mammès (1884) by Sisley. The differences are immediately obvious. It is the apparent reality versus an impression of the reality. Precision versus the ephemeral.
Camille Pissarro (1830–1903), Place du Théâtre Français, Paris [Place du Théâtre Français], 1898. Oil on canvas, 65.5 x 81.5 cm © State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
Or take the Portrait of Countess Elizabeth Vorontsova-Dashkova (1873) by Cabanel, which was eminently acceptable to the Salon jury. This lady needs to be admired from a suitable distance, while Renoir's Portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary (1878) rather invites viewers to engage the sitter in conversation. The Parisian public keenly felt the tension between the traditional images and the groundbreaking new work, a tension that inevitably led to controversy.
The exhibition also includes a number of sculptures, such as Eternal Spring (1897) by Auguste Rodin. He too tries to convey – not in paint but in marble – a fleeting moment, an impression.

Gallery owner Durand-Ruel
The eventual breakthrough and success of Impressionism were largely thanks to the efforts of the Parisian gallery-owner Paul Durand-Ruel (1831–1922). He saw something in those paintings that no one else was yet able to see. He purchased them to enable his protégés to carry on working – and to give them something to live on. Reselling them was not always possible, and more than once he was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was not until he opened branches in London, Brussels and New York, and tapped into a new group of collectors, that the Impressionists conquered the world. He was the first gallery owner who succeeded in selling a new 'school'. 'Without Durand-Ruel', said Renoir, generous as ever, 'we would not have survived and caviar would have been a good deal rarer.'
Among Durand-Ruel's more important clients were the Russians Mikhail (1870-1903) and Ivan Morozov (1871–1921) and Sergei Shchukin (1854–1936). These fabulously wealthy textile merchants from Moscow bought work by the French Impressionists – Sisley was Morozov's favourite artist – from a desire to inject new vitality into the art of their own country. They dared to take the rebellious French paintings to Russia and to display them in their own homes so that young Russian artists could see what was happening in Paris, the beating heart of European art. And they could draw inspiration from it. Most of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings that will be on view at the museum over the next few months come from the collections of these two great art lovers. Their paintings by Matisse, Picasso and Derain have hung here before, in 2010, at the exhibition Matisse to Malevich: Pioneers of Modern Art from the Hermitage.
Familiar and Innovative side by side
In the Amsterdam exhibition Impressionism: Sensation & Inspiration, Highlights from the Hermitage, many important late nineteenth-century schools of art are represented, from the last flush of Romanticism, with Delacroix and Fromentin, to Classicism and Neoclassicism (Cabanel, Gérôme), Realism (Corot), the Barbizon School (Théodore Rousseau, Daubigny) and Impressionism. The show also includes work by a handful of Post-Impressionists (Cottet, Cézanne, Gauguin). These painters ushered in a new period in the history of art. They sought to instil more emotion into their work than their predecessors, and to go beyond just rendering what they saw. Gauguin, for instance – in his Tahiti paintings – frequently converted reality into an ideal, arcadian world in his quest for spirituality.

The Impressionists were a source of inspiration for numerous painters. One of them was Dutch – Vincent van Gogh. It is well known that upon arriving in Paris in 1886, Van Gogh immediately fell under the spell of the Impressionists. He made their acquaintance through his brother Theo, who ran an art gallery. It was in their work that he found the sunlight and the colours he had been looking for. In a letter to a friend he wrote: 'In Antwerp I did not even know what the Impressionists were, now I have seen them and . . . I have much admired certain Impressionist pictures.' He incorporated their ideas and techniques into his work in an entirely individual fashion. Those who want to see how he did so are welcome to come to the Hermitage Amsterdam from 29 September onwards, when a series of world-famous paintings by the artist, from the Van Gogh Museum, will be visiting the Hermitage.

Imagine walking outside and feeling like you just walked into an oven. Yeah, that was pretty much my weekend in San Antonio. O.K…I may be exaggerating a tiny bit. Let's just say it was hot and I didn't want to fuss with my outfits. And that's why I kept my look casual, but wanted to add some much needed color in my life.
The Polka Dot Pocket Tank ($10.80) from Forever 21 made an appearance with my Rockstar Pop-Color Jeans ($32.50) in Monaco Plum from Old Navy. And my Steve Madden Achilees Sandals ($49.98) aren't getting any time off. I wore them all weekend!
I can't wait to wear these jeans this fall with a chunky knit sweater! They're the perfect pair of pants for all seasons.

Salvador Dali and Man Ray, photographed in Paris by Carl van Vechten, June 16, 1934
One of the earliest cinematographic poets, Man Ray was a still photographer, painter, sculptor, who created a series of dazzling Dada films which still delight and amuse the viewer. Here's a link to one of my favorites: Le Retour à la Raison (Return to Reason, 1923), 2 minutes in length, silent, which consists of random live images intercut with "Rayographs," made by sprinkling salt, pepper, thumbtacks, pins and other materials directly on the film in the darkroom, then exposing it to controlled amounts of light.
As Man Ray said of the making of the film, "Acquiring a roll of a hundred feet of film, I went into my darkroom and cut up the material into short lengths, pinning them down on the worktable. On some strips I sprinkled salt and pepper, like a cook preparing a roast, on other strips I threw pins and thumbtacks at random; then I turned on the white light for a second or two, as I had done for my still Rayographs. Then I carefully lifted the film off the table, shaking off the debris, and developed it in my tanks. The next morning, when dry, I examined the work; the salt, pins and tacks were perfectly reproduced."
"I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence." (Undated interview, circa 1970s; published in Man Ray: Photographer, 1981.)

A YOUNG athlete from Sale has triumphantly returned home after winning two gold medals and one bronze medal at the Dwarf Sports Association 21st National Dwarf Games.
James Tranter, who is three years old, competed in the games held in Birmingham last week and achieved first place in the swimming event and the under-6 football as well as getting a bronze medal in the 10m dash.
Proud Mother Marie Tranter, who was there to cheer him on in the three day event said: "It was a brilliant weekend. I'm so proud of James. Most people there said that the under-6s football was the highlight."
The games are open to athletes from the age of two and this is the second National Dwarf Games that James has competed in, following a silver and bronze medal last year.
The event offers the chance for athletes and families from all over the country to get together.
Marie said: "It's a big social thing as well there were 500 people there with 200 people competing. Although in the Northwest we do meet up with other families every now and again, it's good for James to see that there are other people like him and for him to make lots of new friends."
The National Dwarf Games have been held annually since 1995 with around 180 athletes competing this year.
The event has previously seen the likes of Great Britain's gold medal-winning swimmer Ellie Simmonds OBE competing, who was there to open the tournament.

Results 921 to 940 of 1997
Hi Nie, I should be on at 8 tonight!Steam, PSN, Xbox Live: Groovychainsaw. Speak 'RPS' and enter.
The Philanthropists (Gobbo, me) vs. Sunny Day Snotling Crèche (Ogre, GroovyChainsaw)
Going in a hefty 600ish TV down the Philanthropists went for Ripper, a bribe, a wizard and two babes. Crèche won the toss and elected to receive, but to keep things simple both teams appeared to have broadly the same plan: beat the living daylights out of one another. Over the half an ogre was injured but so was Ripper (a single punch reducing him to Av7 if the post-match stats are to be believed), with several gobbo knockouts and one death being matched by a wide variety of snotling injuries.
Crèche moved cautiously for the first few turns, at least partly because despite KO'ing several gobbos lots of ogres were starting their moves face down thanks to the efforts of the trolls. Keeping things slow and steady a tight cage was built near the scrimmage, but having so many ogres and snotlings bunched up was too much for the gobbo's wizard to resist, and fortunately the fireball was spectacularly efficient - one stunned ogre, one BH snot, one MNG snot and one dead snot, leaving only two ogres standing next to the spilled ball.
Several turns scuffling didn't answer any questions though, as both sides elected to cover the ball in tackle zones rather than risk knocking it away. With time running out the Ag3 Ogre took the chance and went for it, managing to both grab the ball in a tackle zone and successfully dodge away. With the remaining gobbos and trolls tied up only a half-hearted defence could be scrambled back, which proved to be all to easy to brush aside: 1-0 to Crèche.
The gobbos used their bribe to keep the bombardier on for the kick off (the last turn of the first half), giving them 12 fit players and thus hopefully shielding one secret weapon for the second half. Wasn't to be though: for some reason Cyanide insisted 12 players were set up, forcing both weapons onto the pitch for one turn. Things didn't get any better in the turn itself, with a troll derping out on the block needed to attempt a TTM touchdown, quickly followed by the bombardier knocking over one of his teammates for an ignominious turnover.
With that spectacular display out the way the second half kicked off with only 10 Philanthropists on the field, but the numbers were quickly levelled when Mother Theresa gently administered a benediction on an ogre: overcome by emotion the ogre was forced to have a lie down for the rest of the match. The gobbos sprinted the ball up to the scrimmage and made to drive to the left, but the ogres responded aggressively and cut off the advance. A swift switch to the right was foiled when a troll derped on a blitz and lonered the re-roll, leaving the almost-gap still annoyingly plugged. To compound their misery the other troll was subsequently KO'd, leaving the Philanthropists in a precarious position they never recovered from. From here the second half fizzled out, with the ogres recovering the ball but being unable to move quickly enough to capitalise, leaving the last turn as little more than a quick round of Punish the Snotling: 1-0 to Sunny Day Snotling Crèche at full time.
It's tempting to blame Cyanide for scuppering my second half but in all honesty I was playing without much of a plan and was suitably punished for it, with Groovy's tight positioning denying any last minute heroics on a number of occasions. Alfred Nobel the bombardier nicked the MVP but rolled a normal, becoming the first ever Philanthropist to retire with all limbs and major organs intact, while Mother Theresa grabbed grab and Prince Kahrim Aga Kahn IV jumped on jump up. Four matches in and things are looking grim with only 4 points on the table, the second half of the season will have to go a lot better than the first if there's to be any chance of a prize.
Today I played Zenohero's Ogres. He won 1-0.Sounds Hawaiian, doesn't it?
Alright, it's just me and ntw still left to play. You free tomorrow man?

Okay ntw, if you can make it tonight, I can make it tonight. Otherwise I say we default the match and stop holding everything up. Deal?
Alrighty, apologies to ntw but I wanted to get the league moving again before I pop off on holiday today.
Our game's been defaulted to a draw and the league has been rolled on.
I'll be back a week on Monday, at which point hopefully myself and Groovy will get our game done sharpish and we can move on again :)
Get bashing!
Zenohero, we're up! Could make this evening with enough notice, otherwise Monday or Tuesday after 20:00BST would be best - going to be kinda busy after that.

Snotlings are about the only thing gobbos can reliably beat up, you'd take even taht small pleasure from me? :( Monday should be fine, see you then!
Is ntw back in rotation yet?
I guess I am waiting if he's not.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

In case of forum degradation pull cord.
Would anyone be bitter if I forfeited the rest of my games? Let me elaborate. I had zero touchdowns in three games (one was a default win for Helio since I had trouble with my internet), lost some of the few players that had more than 2 SPPs on them (I have 14SPPs on the team in total), and one guy with a skill.
I don't enjoy the games. If someone is concerned that me dropping out is unfair to the people that already played me, I think that everyone got his share of SPPs through TDs and injuries against me.
Sorry to post this in a running season, I had expected something else from stunty matches. If there is anyone who feels that this is not fair, I will play the rest of my games as good as I can and then drop out when the season is through.Sounds Hawaiian, doesn't it?

The Philanthropists (Gobbo, me) vs. The Ogre Special Forces (Ogre, Zenohero)
150k of inducements for the ogres secured a babe and an extra re-roll, but the gobbos won the toss and chose to receive, hoping to cause a little damage and stall out a few turns. The ogres set up aggressively along the line of scrimmage and in the widezone, with the snots hanging back. Electing to contain the menace in the middle the gobbos set up a troll against each ogre in the wide zones hoping to work together a two turn crowd surf, but the ogres had enough smarts to see through this - a perfect defense allowed all five of them to mass together in the middle of the pitch.
Walt Disney grabbed the ball while the rest of the gobbos caged up on the right. A mere cage wasn't enough to stop the ogres though - one of them simple break-tackled into the middle of it and rolled a pow on the blitz, badly hurting Walt and leaving him out of the rest of the match. Several turns of inelegant scrambling followed, each team completely failing to pull off a succession of hugely over-ambitious plays: the gobbos usually had the ball but couldn't advance far (no matter how many dice the trolls tried to roll in a single turn), but the ogres couldn't get to it either (turns out break tackle isn't enough to get over diving tackle).
Eventually the ball was spilled into the crowd, before being thrown back into the middle of the pitch half way into the gobbos half. Two turns of almost competent play - first picking it up and caging on the right, then breaking out and handing off to Warren Buffet who legged it down the left - left the ogres out of position, allowing the gobbos to sprint it in (with the help of several GFIs) on turn 8. A turn of bashing from the ogres didn't achieve much beyond getting the loony sent off at the end of the half (really need to manage my secret weapons better), making it 1-0 at half time.
In the second half the ogres pushed aggressively forward, all 5 ogres bum-rushing the front line and laying into whoever they could reach. This left the snotlings to look after the ball, which proved to be a mistake - taking discretion to be the better part of valor the gobbos simply skipped round the ogres and built a wall between them and the snots. The ogres almost managed to break through and join up forces, but could never quite the the two halves to meet. Eventually a slightly desperate pass was attempted which the little snotling fumbled, allowing the gobbos to sprint through and leg it to safety - 2-0 on turn 13.
Lining up again the gobbos kicked and rolled a blitz, allowing the intrepid Warren Buffet to be hurled down the field towards where the ball was going to land. The ball bounced out of bounds, but an attempt at a 1TTD went badly wrong when the ogre knocked out the snotling with the ball on takeoff. Set up for bashing and hampered by some unlucky bone head rolls there was nothing the ogres could do to stop the gobbos scampering through for another touchdown, making it 3-0 on turn 16. A riot on kick off pushed the clock back by a turn and almost made it 4-0 to the gobbos - the ogres took a quick turnover on a both down result, and a valiant throw team mate attempt at the ball worked right up until the final GFI needed to cross the line, making it 3-0 at full time.
It was a very scrappy but hugely fun match, though I suspect I may well have enjoyed it more thanks to the win. While it's perfectly possible to play stunty teams as srs bsnss (as El Cubo has shown me on several occasions) it's always nice to go crazy once in a while and let the little gits do their thing.

mwildtech - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkGood interview, I enjoyed it. Anand is looking pretty classy I must say. Reply
w_km - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkYes, he's aging quite well for a science geek lol. It brings to mind The Verge's cast and it's funny how they're so focused on culture/fashion yet not looking not-so-good :/ Reply
jeffkibuule - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkReally wonderful interview. I'm really hoping that Intel is working hard towards building global LTE (heck, even multi-band LTE to cover all US carriers) so users don't have to think about whether their phone works on XYZ network.
Question though, how does a wireless standard have "secret sauces"? Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of calling it a standard? Reply
skiboysteve - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkUnfortunately almost every standard has this... not just wireless. If you implement it to spec, it usually doesn't work. Yes, it is frustrating. I deal with it at work for automotive and aerospace all the time. It comes from specific vendors tweaking it, and then customers implementing that vendor's tweaks. Reply
tech.kyle - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkSome of the fancier, more specialized 802.11 radios can be set up as a normal access point or client, but there's a lot of out-of-spec features that would improve performance (802.11g at 40MHz wide, AirMax, etc). Even consumer devices have often had a "Buy devices with this logo to enable extra features" sticker for out-of-spec functionality. Not that I'm an expert on the subject, but there are also features that don't break spec too, simple things like automatically optimizing ack timings and the such. Reply
name99 - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkOf course there is "secret sauce". The spec gives you a range of different ways to communicate info, it doesn't tell you how to do everything.
For example:
- how to choose which of the (ever-growing) possible PHY modes should a device use for communicating? (And you can modify that choice to optimize for throughput vs optimize for energy.)
- Should it use CTS/RTS or not?
- How should it balance aggregation vs latency?
You can also use better HW, for example your Viterbi decoder can be one or two stages longer than everyone else's. More HW, more power, better performance --- choose which you want. Reply
unbellum - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkDefinitely an interesting interview. I want to be excited about future wireless technologies but I get frustrated knowing that most laptops or devices are released with a 1x1 setup. Being able connect to everything is great goal if your connection is actually stable. I think this is less of a technology hurdle than an issue of device makers using connectivity as a way to cut corners to save money. Current LTE and wifi N/AC standards should be more than enough for most workflows if it were to work as advertised. Reply
jeffkibuule - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkSpeaking of which, Brian states Miracast support is flaky and has never gotten it to work. Along with WiDi, are we ever really going to get wireless display off the ground? Hopefully Windows 8.1 is the push it needs to actually be successful so I don't need an HDMI cable to display content on my TV. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkYeah, despite Brian's recent comments I ended up getting a Netgear PTV3000... At $50 with a $10 discount it seemed more sensible than paying $35+ for the SlimPort USB/HDMI adapter for my Nexus 7 (never mind that currently you can't even find those anywhere, tho there's some $25 knockoffs on Ebay).
Haven't had the time to try it yet, tho it did seem like they've been putting out firmware updates left and right (going by the Amazon reviews). The PC/WiDi setup seems far more complicated (I guess Miracast is more of a it either works or doesn't deal). I know reviewing flawed stuff is like low hanging fruit sometimes but it seems that exposing the issues with at 'least one of those WiDi/Miracast boxes might be worthwhile.
Great interview btw! Reply
jeffkibuule - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkMy hope is that the Xbox One supports Miracast and will be the de facto standard hardware to test against. So one hopes that Microsoft is implementing the standard correctly with enough test cases when it appears other vendors aren't doing the same. Reply
elabdump - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkMiracast is crap, wireless HDMI over 60GHz Wlan is the way to go. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkYeah. I really wish Intel would've put 2x2 dual band in the 2013 ultrabook spec. It'd be useful to a lot more people than widi will.
And while I know ultrabooks are only a minority of laptops sold; the platform is Intel's biggest soapbox to push minimum standards and unlike most of the places where OEMs blight their models wifi is easy to solve via speccheck. Reply
tential - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkIt's really nice to be able to go on to newegg, hit ultrabook, sort by Haswell, and see pretty much almost all viable solutions.
Personally, I'd like to see Intel say, 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen, etc. I feel like the fact that I can sort by ultrabooks, and perhaps pick someothing from 2 years ago since many vendors carry that is unfair to a consumer who isn't as educated. Intel should require people to list what generation Ultrabook it is, as well as have a chart showing the benefits from 1 generation to the next.
Considering how nice Ultrabooks are, How nice Haswell is, and how the Ultrabook standard is pretty much for Windows/Intel only, it's amazing how these 2 companies haven't worked together, and harder, to push this platform for the back to school season.
An Ultrabook with Haswell would be a monumental upgrade for the MAJORITY of people I know who have PCs, yet there are no ads at all that I've seen on TV convincing me that I should want something new. I mean I personally know through research on here obviously, but the average consumer is just clueless. Reply
smilingcrow - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkIf the engineers had any input to the Ultrabook specs it would have been there since Rev 1 but unfortunately the marketing drones run that show. Reply
skiboysteve - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkQuestion for Aicha - what happened to Intel Wilkins Peak 2? Is it delayed or cancelled? This was an exciting part. Reply
skiboysteve - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkActually nevermind, I see it was released. There were more form factors previously mentioned than what made it to market though. Reply
FXi - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkWhen will we see 3x3 802.11ac cards from Intel?
Can the wireless driver team get a reboot? There are serious known bugs causing bsod crashes in every driver released for over a year.
Can we get an LTE enabled chipset for Haswell? Reply
name99 - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkIf we're going to ask questions, here's one:
Is Intel going to make any attempt to push that the MAC from 802.11ah become part of "standard" 802.11, perhaps even a rapid followup to 802.11ac?
With 802.11ah the IEEE seem to have finally bitten the bullet and admitted that the venerable DCF, even with all the patches that have been applied to it via successive specs, just isn't good enough. The question then is: why are we not allowing more standard WiFi use cases (especially the two very common extremes of home with only one device and base station active, or conference with 500 devices active) to utilize the better performance of the 802.11ah MAC (which as of right now is targeted only at a very limited and specific use case --- sub 1GHz low bandwidth long range operations). Reply
asliarun - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkAnand - you are a superb interviewer! Kudos and please do more.
A question for Aicha - Can you give us any updates on Rosepoint? It was one of the most exciting demos in IDF last year and frankly, true technological innovation. However, the demo last year was on 32nm. While you may not want to share your roadmap with us (or especially if it will act as a spoiler for the upcoming IDF), but can you share anything that will keep the tech crowd excited? Even the potential possibilities that this technology will enable - will really help keep us excited. Reply
Menty - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkThanks for the interview vids, interesting!
I'm curious why Intel haven't released a decent desktop WiFi adapter? It's fairly common knowledge that Intel Mini-PCIE cards are more or less the best in the business, but it's still nigh on impossible to find a consistently good desktop WiFi card manufacturer. I've resorted to putting Intel Mini-PCIE cards onto adapter boards and getting external antennae, but it's not a very tidy solution! Reply
looper - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkGreat stuff !!

Sailor23M - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkIntel makes great SSDs, combine that with wireless chipset capability and I am wondering if there is a wireless hard drive on the horizon with 802.11ac and USB 3 that can be used as an iOS or android backup? Reply
wasabiman123 - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkFantastic interview, this is why I keep on coming to anandtech, keep up the great work, Aisha seems like someone to keep track of in this industry, love seeing people like that at the helm of tech. Reply
BubbaJoe TBoneMalone - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkI cannot wait for a completely wireless PC solution that is secure of course. By the way, nice tan Anand! Have you been in Cancun sipping margaritas. :D Reply
ErinCarter - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkThanks Anand, I loved this. Were you flirting with Aicha a little?
Intel is never to be underestimated, it will be fascinating to see how things play out over the coming years.
I might also note that I've frequented AT for well over 10 years now and this is my first post, specifically to thank you. I also really enjoyed reading Ian's recent interviews too. Fantastic stuff, keep it up. Only one thing would make what you guys at AT do even better and that's releasing Podcasts more often/regularly! Reply
djembe - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkAs mentioned in the interview, many people view wireless as an afterthought. When ordering new systems, these people choose default single-stream options that offer inferior performance. Further, many people simply do not understand the differences between different wireless cards released by the same company. I have seen examples of Intel offering simple bars or charts demonstrating how powerful each type of processor is in comparison to the rest of the lineup. Are there any plans in place to simplify branding and promotion of Intel wireless solutions so the average consumer can differentiate between wireless products, similar to what is already in place for CPUs? Also, as there is already an 802.11ac dual stream wireless card released by Intel, is there a timeline for when we can expect an 802.11ac triple stream solution? Reply
The Von Matrices - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkHave you gotten any calls from Charlie Rose? I think he wants his set back.
I unfortunately am not very informed in details of all the wireless standards available and their specific applications, but I agree with Ms. Evans that creating a unified wireless standard would be great. However, I see that as unrealistic as standards bodies do not move fast enough to add new features to an existing standard before independent manufacturers create proprietary standards for themselves and those proprietary standards gain traction. The 802.11n draft was a prominent example of this and there are numerous others .
However, I wonder about the issue of spectrum. Ms. Evans talks about having new wireless connections such as wireless displays, but I have trouble envisioning this all working properly because that all these new connections will be operating in the existing public wireless spectrum. It's easy to ration spectrum when only one company has legal access to it, but public wireless is a tragedy of the commons. I live in a city and have trouble getting reliable connections on any 2.4GHz network whether it be Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or something else. 5GHz works well enough for me, but that spectrum soon will be just as congested as well.
In the increasingly crowded public wireless spectrum, what technologies does Ms. Evans foresee that will improve pubic spectrum usage and reliability? Also, how can you improve the public spectrum usage while still maintaining compatibility with legacy devices that might not support the newest wireless standard and thus would not be spectrum efficient.
Thanks for the great interview. Reply
DanNeely - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - link2.4ghz only has 60mhz to play with. 5ghz currently has 575 mhz available in the US with FCC proposals to add 120 and 75mhz blocks expanding it even more. 5ghz also is slightly less capable of penetrating walls meaning in urban areas fewer of your neighbors networks are interfering with your wifi. 60ghz has even more spectrum available; and since it's a purely in room technology (walls reflect it) your wireless home theater in your man cave won't interfere with the wireless home theater in your family room. Reply
The Von Matrices - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkI agree with your argument about short range 60GHz wireless signals being perfect for display connections. But switching to 5GHz for local area networking would mean that a lot more access points would be needed to maintain the same coverage as 2.4GHz networks. I need only one 2.4GHz access point to get some signal in the house (even competing with neighbors) but I need three 5GHz access point to get complete coverage and that is with nothing else I can detect on the 5GHz spectrum. The 5GHz propagation characteristics are not very good at least for my usage.
The more I think about it though the more I realize that I may be thinking too narrowly. Maybe the access-point/client model is dated. Maybe the future involves mesh networks. Does Ms. Evans see the world switching to mesh networks for anything other than low bandwidth devices (e.g. Zigbee)? Reply
jeffkibuule - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkThing is, if you want reliable networking in a semi-large house, you want to avoid walls and need more access points. It's pretty much unavoidable. What we need is combination of 500Mbps powerline network adapters with built-in auto-configurable wireless APs so that it's easy to setup while providing the best performance to clients. Reply
elabdump - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkIntel is now two years to late, and all what there saying is: "We don't know about the standards."
That's crap.
Maybe intel arrives 2015/16 in the market, which OEM wants to change vendor and isa in 2 or 3 years ?
And this happens in a market where todays phones and tablets are just fast enough, and windows looses significance. Reply
Moishe - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkWow... Well done. Very nice videos. Reply
drew_afx - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkWe've seen wireless technology go beyond connecting between computers (like wireless I/O)
What would be the technical limit on max bandwidth and min latency on wireless I/O?
Wireless USB/eSATA/HDMI/PCIe integrated onto a SoC?
Since Thunderbolt is still on copper and there is no real demand for more bandwidth, I hope for a wireless solution in the works. Reply
elabdump - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkLook for 60GHz Wlan, that makes the things you want. But don't expect 60GHz stuff early from intel. Reply
jphamlore - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkIntel's LTE efforts are dead in the US no matter what they say. Qualcomm controls the IP needed for backwards compatibility with CDMA, IP Qualcomm has used to force the likes of Nokia to make a $2.3 billion USD settlement in 1998, and eventually Nokia had to switch to using Qualcomm ARM SoCs and Qualcomm LTE baseband chipsets in their phones (running Microsoft Windows Phone as the OS). Very soon after Intel bought Infineon, Apple dumped Infineon for Qualcomm LTE baseband chipsets.
Read the following vision of Intel for WiMAX from 2007 very carefully:
What Intel was saying was their plan with WiMAX was to disintermediate the major US carriers, to at best make them dumb pipes. Needless to say, the US carriers did not react well to this. Observe how the MID, Intel's vision of the mobile device of the future, never even got off the ground. The carriers imposed a special tax on Intel's devices with extra charges for tethering. Reply
gilgaroth - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkYour statement contradicts the statement of Aicha Evans that Intel will pursue 4G worldwide, not just in the US. Also just because Nokia has to settle with Qualcomm over some particular IP case doesn't mean it's impossible for someone else to develop 4G services. So what are you getting at here?
WiMAX didn't make it, so what? Just because one effort failed doesn't mean the next one will. Anyways, in 2007, Intel was still working with 100+ watt processors and really couldn't even compete in low power processing, let alone communications standards or capabilities. Reply
jeffkibuule - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkCDMA is mostly an afterthought these days. Verizon won't be requiring it for much longer on new handsets (likely next year) since their LTE network already almost overlaps 100% with their 3G CDMA footprint. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkDo you have a citation for VZW dropping CDMA as a requirement; or is this just speculation?
I'm dubious about the claim, because while Verizon is on track to upgrade all of their infrastructure soon there are still a number of areas where their data access is roaming on someone else's 2/3g network. On their data coverage map these areas marked as extended 3g or extended 1x coverage. This is especially true for international roaming where most of VZWs partners are not as far along in their LTE network deployments. Reply
jphamlore - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkSorry, 2008 not 1998.

gilgaroth - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkAnand and Aicha, thank you. I am a physics graduate student and I have two questions.
Firstly, what is the progress on monolithic integration of RF and CPU onto the same die? Has a 4G modem and baseband been fully integrated with a Silvermont class CPU yet? More generally, what is Intel doing to advance the state of the art in wireless technology, like what Justin Rattner and Yorgos Palaskas discussed at IDF 2012?
Secondly, Intel has really done incredible work in enabling the high performance of modern servers and HPC facilities. However, most mobile communications technologies seem very consumer centric. They don't seem to offer the same utility for "serious computing" like for servers and HPC, or engineering software like ANSYS or MATLAB. So my question is how can the work in mobile communications be relevant at the highest levels of performance? Obviously, copper and fiber optics are probably going to be faster for the foreseeable future, so are the Xeon groups ever going to have to talk seriously with the communications guys? It seems like this is a pretty good counterexample to "everything that computes connects."
Thanks. Reply
elabdump - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkDon't look at intel if want to see what is possible today. And "serious computing" doesn't help a chip making company like intel if the the market share for "serious computing" isn't big enough to refinance the fabs. Reply

Simon42 - Saturday, August 24, 2013 - linkFirst, great interview. Captivating and insightful. Great to see a fellow French speaker doing a good job in English :-)
Of all the interesting potential developments, the one that interests me the most is inter-device connectity and the many possibilities that might come with it. As a technology enthusiast, one of the (admitably first world) problems I find the most frustrating is the number of devices I own to fulfill different missions - phones, tablets, notebooks, desktops, consoles, home theater/entertainment devices - and how I can at best use 1 or 2 of them at the same time while the other ones - and their potential power - are "wasted". A standard for sharing the processing power of increasingly powerful small devices to make the different "terminals" I use come alive, with centralized data coming from using a central device as an added bonus, would be fantastic.
How far are we from wireless technology enabling users to rely on their now (or soon to be) powerful enough smartphones to provide processing power to an array of bigger devices, from tablets to TVs? How is Intel working on a way to make such a dream a reality? How far away are we from a wireless Thunderbolt equivalent, for instance? Since such a development could mean customers wouldn't need to buy multiple gadgets anymore, is there a chance companies like Intel might want to hold back or limit features that might otherwise be feasible so as not to cannibalise their market with products that would be too good at doing everything?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After two long days of emotional testimony, Chontel Gergar says she has faith a jury will convict the 21-year-old charged with killing her son.
"I can't eat. I can't sleep," Gergar said. "If I close my eyes, all I do is picture him laying there on the ground that night."
Prosecutors say Jeremiah Corbett shot 14-year-old Horace James Jr. in the head Sept. 25, 2010.
Friends with Corbett that night testified he felt disrespected after becoming involved in an argument between two teenage girls and an ex-boyfriend in a parking lot near Club Menage on University Boulevard in Arlington.
LISTEN: 911 calls night of shooting | IMAGES: Evidence photos in killing
Bryant Smith testified that Corbett is responsible for the rapid fire shots that not only killed James (pictured, below) but injured two other teenage girls.
"I didn't know if they were intentionally trying to get rid of witnesses or not," Smith said. "But I'm scared, and I don't say nothing. Because they just got done shooting, and I don't know what's going on. I'm scared and shocked."
"You know what this looks like? It looks like the world is against you," a detective told Corbett.
"I had nothing to do with nothing. I didn't get in no van with anybody," Corbett said.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors told jurors this case centers around a bruised ego and a hot temper.
But the defense argued Corbett isn't the one who pulled the trigger.
"There is no evidence of DNA or fingerprints that ties Jeremiah Corbett to this case," defense attorney Chuck Fletcher said.
Before the jury was charged Wednesday, James' sister spoke as the family left the courtroom.
"God always taught me to forgive people and he'll forgive me," Markeisha Rivers said. "But I won't forget what he did to my brother."
Corbett's girlfriend said their 3-year-old son asks every night when his daddy is going to come home. She said this case has torn both families apart.
The jury was dismissed for the evening and will begin deliberating Thursday morning.
Prosecutors had filed for the death penalty, but it was waived. If convicted, Corbett will face life in prison.
