After rating AMD (AMD +2.6%) a Sell for 5 1/2 years (a smart call), Goldman is upgrading shares to Neutral on a belief expectations have fallen enough. Though still considering Intel better-positioned in the high-end CPU market, Goldman thinks AMD shares could be "flat or up" over the next 6 months, given the absence of near-term catalysts, a successful debt restructuring, and the value of the company's graphics processor business.

I believe AMD is severely under rated. AMD and Intel maybe losing sales in the traditional PC market but more people like myself are building their own PC's. AMD will continue to be a huge part in tablet markets also. Although mobile computing may become the standard ARM and Nvidia are providers on only one part of computing, the Android market. Office software and traditional computing still relies on x86 OS software. Linux and Windows are still integral to computing needs. Consoles and gaming computers still use AMD along with servers for enterprise computing. I see this as only a slump during a poor economy and a transition period. AMD is highly rated with gamers. Ubuntu alone is used by 20 million people and it runs on x86. By 2015 30% of the global workforce will be online, those people will be using x86. Many people in Asia are becoming freelancers and require PCs to work, regardless of the platform being a tablet or not it is x86, not Android, running this. Android may become more of the standard casual surfing OS but it is not going to be a replacement for a lot of business or gaming platforms. There is a big difference between what ARM and Nvidia are doing and what AMD and Intel are doing that seems to be overlooked in a lot of discussions.

Top 3 Drugstore Revlon Foundations
By Yvonne Van Damme
Foundation is a tool for creating the perfect canvas on the face. It not only evens out skin tone and camouflages marks, but it can also add warmth to the skin and control oil. The truth is that drugstore foundation is hit or miss. The formulations and colors are not as diverse and extensive as department store foundations. If you dig deep enough, you can usually find one that will work for you. Revlon foundation is a brand of drugstore makeup that has a few gems on the market.
There are myriad foundations on the market that come in lots of different prices. There are three types of Revlon foundation makeup that are highly rated. The best foundation for your skin is unique and depends on your skin tone and skin type.
Revlon ColorStay Makeup SPF 6
Revlon ColorStay foundation makeup comes in two different formulas. One is for dry or normal skin while the other is designed for oily skin. Revlon ColorStay is ideal for oily skin as it is excellent at controlling oil throughout the day. Although there is a ColorStay formula for dry skin, it can enhance flakes and dryness on the skin. Revlon ColorStay foundation provides relatively heavy coverage. While Revlon ColorStay contains sunscreen of SPF 6, that is not comprehensive for daily protection against UV rays.
Revlon ColorStay will stay on the skin, for the most part, until you take it off. To remove it properly, use both a makeup remover and a face cleanser. Otherwise you could face some serious breakouts.
Revlon ColorStay Makeup, Combination/Oily Skin, $11.40, at Amazon.com is hands down the best drugstore foundation for oily or combination skin.
Revlon Photo Ready Makeup SPF 20
Another top Revlon Foundation is Photo Ready. This foundation is most suitable for normal, combination, or dry skin, in comparison to Revlon ColorStay. Revlon Photo Ready is lightweight, has a dewy finish, and provides buildable coverage. This Revlon foundation has a pump, which makes it easy to use. People with oily skin should avoid Revlon Photo Ready foundation as it is likely to slide right off of your face by the end of the day! It has SPF 20 which is helpful, but does not provide optimal sun protection.
Revlon Photo Ready foundation is not a long-lasting one. It will likely wear off at least halfway through the day, especially if you have combination or oily skin. Try Revlon Photo Ready foundation SPF 20, $12.99, at Ulta.com, to see if it is the perfect light-weight foundation for your skin.
Revlon Age Defying Makeup SPF 15
Another highly rated Revlon foundation is the Age Defying liquid foundation. It is suitable for both oily and dry skin. Revlon Age defying makeup contains SPF 15. It is also best to use over sunscreen to give the ideal protection from harmful UV rays. The reason that it is beneficial for aging skin is that it has Botafirm. It is a patented ingredient touted to smooth and tighten lines. Revlon Age Defying foundation provides medium coverage. While it works well for most ages and skin types, it is usually best on skin that is not too oily.
Try Revlon Age Defying Makeup SPF 15, $13.99, at Drugstore.com, to smooth and tighten your skin.

Taliban militants yesterday unleashed car bombs at the US consulate in Afghanistan triggering a firefight with security forces in an attack that killed at least two Afghans and wounded 17.
The US said personnel from the consulate had been temporarily relocated to Kabul while American forces secured the site.
The attack in the city of Herat – along with a suicide truck bomb in the country's east that wounded seven Afghans – raises concerns of spreading insecurity in Afghanistan as US-led troops reduce their presence ahead of full withdrawal next year.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said his organisation was responsible for the Herat attack.
General Rahmatullah Safi, Herat province's chief of police, said the attack began in the early morning when militants set off two vehicles containing explosives.
An Afghan police officer and an Afghan security guard were killed. At least seven attackers were killed, including the two drivers of the explosives-laden vehicles, he said.
Herat hospital official Sayednaim Alemi said at least 17 people had been wounded, some seriously.
US state department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said: "A truck carrying attackers drove to the front gate, and attackers – possibly firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles – started firing at Afghan forces and security guards on the exterior of the gates. Shortly after, the entire truck exploded, extensively damaging the front gate."
Robert Hilton, a spokesman for the US embassy in Kabul, said: "All consulate personnel are safe and accounted for." He added that the staff have been temporarily relocated to the Afghan capital, but that some essential workers remain in Herat.
Footage broadcast on Afghanistan's Tolo television network showed Afghan police dragging away a badly bloodied man from the scene. Rubble and twisted pieces of metal lay strewn in a seemingly wide area near the consulate, the footage showed.
The Afghan foreign ministry said the attack "illustrates both the desperation of the enemies of Afghanistan and their heinous, wanton disregard for the lives of Afghanistan's peace- loving citizens."
US ambassador to Kabul, James Cunningham, said: "We are deeply saddened by this senseless loss of life, and our prayers go out to the victims and their families. We hope for the speedy recovery of those injured."
Herat lies near Afghanistan's border with Iran and is considered one of the better-developed and safer cities in the country, with a strong Iranian influence.
Yesterday's attack underscored the growing reach of the Taliban, who once mostly concentrated their attacks in the east and the south, but in recent years seem to be able to strike with more frequency in the once-peaceful north and west.
Last month, a botched bombing against the Indian consulate in the Afghan city of Jalalabad killed nine people, including six children. No Indian officials were hurt.
Two years ago to the day, insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles at the US embassy, Nato offices and other buildings in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

As the girls travel to a nearby location, Jay tells them that there is a movie being shot, and they squeal and jump out of their golf carts. Out of an NYPD cop car steps the one and only Miss Janice Dickinson, wearing sunglasses and brandishing a billy club. "Fashion Police!" she yells, followed by a similarly dressed Nigel and Nolé. And now, so that you all can act out this little scene with your friends, I will present it in dramatic form:
Janice: Fashion Police!
Nigel: Fashion Police!
Nolé: Fashion Police!
Janice: Where are the aliens?
Nigel: [wielding a camera] I have no idea, but when I find them, I'm going to shoot them.
Nolé: Fabulous.
I wonder how many takes they had to do so Nolé could get his line right. Also, I think that I miss recapping the Cover Girl Tip of the Week. Sigh.
Jay tells the girls that they are on the set of their first photo shoot, where they will be turned into sexy aliens who have taken over Manhattan. Just when Tyra has left the city! Oh, the irony. The panel of judges will be working with the girls during the shoot. Jay introduces them as such: "The tall, sexy, and very English Nigel Barker, our photographer." Nigel looks good. "And of course, Nolé Marin, fashion stylist." Nolé gets no adjectives, because the only ones that Jay could think of would be less than flattering. "And last but not least, the super-sexy super-diva, Miss..." and of course Janice needs no introduction. She kicks her leg up, swings her weapon around with panache, and says, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." More Janice! More Janice!
The girls go into hair and makeup. Noelle says that her mouth dropped as it dawned on her that this was the first competition. Jay introduces the behind-the-scenes staff, which includes legendary hair stylist Danilo and Matheu the makeup master. No mention of Michelle the hag stylist, thank goodness. Danilo's current style looks a bit like present-day Bret Michaels combined with Elton John when he first got his hair plugs. Slap a pink t-shirt on that and it is teh sex!
Janice chats with the girls. She tells them that they are being handed this experience on a silver platter, and that they should be courteous, be on time, and have fun with it. See, Janice gives good advice when she's sober. Nolé holds Empress Minnie and tells the girls that they need to impress her and Jay. He is the roliest as well as the poliest, and also utterly useless. Additionally, he strongly resembles a warthog. There is only one thing that stops Nolé from being the worst, and that is Jay Manuel. I have a feeling that, if they showed us more of Nolé on a regular basis, it might be a bit of a contest, though. Nolé asks Brita how old she is. She tells him to guess. He guesses eighteen, and she says that she's twenty-five. Brita tells us that age is a huge issue for her, and that most girls quit the business at her age if they haven't made it. She is not going to quit, however, because modeling is her passion.

Duquesne Men Host No. 19 (AP) Temple Saturday at Noon
Jan. 14, 2011 Complete Duquesne Game Notes TEMPLE (12-3, 3-0) at DUQUESNE (10-5, 2-0) TELEVISION: CBS College Sports Regional with Jason Knapp & John Griffin DUKES HOST NO. 19 (AP) TEMPLE: Duquesne (10-5, 2-0), winner of five in a row, welcomes No. 19 (AP)/23 (ESPN) Temple (12-3, 3-0) to the Palumbo Center for a CBS College Sports syndicated television game on Saturday, Jan. 15 at 12:00 p.m. (EST). The Dukes, who are coming off a 67-45 Atlantic 10 win over Saint Louis on Wednesday, face a Temple team that has won nine of its past 10 including an 83-55 conference win over St. Bonaventure on Wednesday. Duquesne, whose win streak is tied with George Washington for the longest current among A-10 schools, is 6-1 at Palumbo Center this season (6-2 at home overall including a loss to West Virginia at CONSOL Energy Center). The Dukes are averaging 89.1 ppg. at their on-campus home. Temple began the week 15th nationally in scoring defense (currently 58.4 ppg.). DU is 1-9 vs. ranked foes under fifth-year head coach Ron Everhart with eight of the 10 games coming on the road or at neutral sites. In two games against ranked teams at the Palumbo Center, Everhart's Dukes are 1-1 with a 73-68 loss to No. 12 (AP) Pitt on Dec. 5, 2007 and a 72-68 win over No. 9 (AP) Xavier on Feb. 7, 2009. The Dukes are 0-1 against ranked teams this season with an 80-66 loss to No. 3 (AP) Pitt on Dec. 1 at CONSOL Energy Center. This is the first time since 1971 that the Dukes have opened the month of January with four-straight wins.
DUQUESNE LATELY: Senior preseason All-A10 pick Damian Saunders, who will be making his 100th career start vs. Temple, became DU's all-time blocked shot and career steals leader in December ... the 6-7 Connecticut native has 256 career blocks (old record of 229 was set by Derrick Alston from 1991-94) and 231 steals (old record 218 by Kenya Hunter from 1993-96) ... Saunders ranks 21st on DU's all-time scoring list with 1,292 points ... he needs two rebounds to pass Alston and move into the fifth spot on the all-time rebound list (Saunders has 878) ... senior Bill Clark, who has hit five or more 3-pointers in a game four times, leads DU at 16.6 ppg. ... Clark ranks third on DU's all-time list with 192 career 3-pointers ... Clark (1,357 points) enters the SLU game needing 26 points to pass B.B. Flenory (1,382 from 1977-80) and move into the 15th spot on the all-time scoring list ... two-time A-10 Rookie of the Week freshman T.J. McConnell ranks among the top five in five A-10 categories: steals (2.9, 1st), FG% (,566, 1st), 3-PT% (.500, 3rd), assist/TO ratio (2.1, 4th) and assists (4.6, 5th) ... DU, which shot .261 from the 3-point arc last season (282nd nationally), is shooting .398 from long distance. THE SERIES: No. 19 (AP) Temple leads the series 39-13, including a 14-8 advantage in games played at Pittsburgh ... Duquesne has won just two of the past 17 meetings - with both wins coming at home ... DU snapped an eight-game series losing streak with a 61-54 win at Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 2003 ... on Jan. 27, 2007, DU rallied from 12 down with 11:55 left to defeat the Owls 96-92 at Palumbo Center ... Duquesne is 1-13 against ranked Temple teams with the lone win coming on Feb. 25, 1956 at No. 10 Temple (66-64) ... since then the Owls have won 12 in a row when ranked against Duquesne ... DU is 3-16 against ranked teams at Palumbo Center ... of the 16 losses, eight have come by eight or fewer points ... Ron Everhart's Dukes are 1-1 vs. ranked teams at home with a 73-68 loss to No. 12 (AP) Pitt on Dec. 5, 2008 and a 72-68 win over No. 9 (AP) Xavier on Feb. 28, 2009 ... the Xavier win ended a 24-game losing streak against ranked teams ... it was also DU's first win over a ranked team since Jan. 25, 1997 (at No. 16 (AP) Xavier) and the first over a Top 10 team since Dec. 15, 1992 (91-84 at home over No. 10 (AP) Florida State) ... it was also the highest ranked team a Duquesne team had defeated since an 88-87 overtime win over No. 9 (AP) Providence on Jan. 31, 1974 at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena ... Everhart is 1-4 vs. the Owls. TEMPLE THIS YEAR: Temple, traditionally one of the top defensive teams in college basketball, leads the Atlantic 10 in scoring defense (58.4 ppg.) and field goal percentage defense (.385) ... Temple ranked third nationally in scoring average defense (56.8 ppg.) last season ... 6-9, 225 senior forward Lavoy Allen, named preseason First Team All-American by Basketball Times, is also on the Naismith Award Watch List ...

NOTES FROM THE DUKES CLIPBOARD • Duquesne, which played in the NIT in 2009 & CBI last year, is looking to make its third-straight postseason appearance in 2011 - something that hasn't occurred on the Bluff since 1968-71 (NIT, NCAA, NIT & NCAA). • DU, which has gone 10-19, 17-13, 21-13 & 16-16 in four seasons under head coach Ron Everhart, has posted 15+ wins in three straight years for the first time since `68-73. Duquesne was coming off a 3-24 season, and had finished above .500 once (1994) in the 21 years prior to Everhart taking over in 2006-07. • The Dukes, who are averaging 16 wins per season under Everhart, won more than 16 games once (17-13 in 1994) in 25 seasons prior to Everhart's arrival. • Thousand-point scoring seniors Damian Saunders (2010 First Team All-Atlantic 10, A-10 Defensive Player of the Year & A-10 All-Defense Team) and Bill Clark lead the way for the Dukes in 2011. Saunders, who is DU's career blocked shot and steals leader, is averaging 12.3 ppg., 7.4 rpg. and 2.9 bpg. in 2010-11. Saunders ranks 21st in career points (1,292) and sixth in career rebounds (878) at Duquesne. Clark, who has 192 career 3-pointers, is averaging a team-best 16.6 ppg. Both Saunders and Clark (1,357 points, No. 16 all-time), who have never experienced a losing season at Duquesne, topped the 1,000-point mark last season. Saunders did it on Feb. 11, 2010 vs. UMass and Clark did it three days later vs. La Salle. Both reached 1,000 in their 88th game. • The 6-7 Saunders, who was first player in DU history to be named A-10 Defensive Player of the Year, finished two steals shy of becoming the first player over 6-6 to lead the nation in steals per game in 2010 (Saunders finished second nationally at 2.8 spg.). Saunders' 89 steals in 32 games shattered the DU season record of 71 he set in 34 games as a sophomore. He tied his career high with six steals (five in the first half) on Dec. 8 at Green Bay and broke the DU career record with his 219th steal against George Mason on Dec. 22. • Saunders became Duquesne's all-time leading shot blocker with his four rejections at Penn State on Dec. 4 ... Saunders, who has 256 career blocks, broke the old mark of 229 set by Derrick Alston in 114 games from 1991-94 ... Saunders broke the record in his 101st game. • Saunders was the first Duquesne player in 39 years to open a season with six-straight double-doubles when he turned the trick last season. He added a second in-season streak of nine in a row. His 20 double-doubles were the most by a DU player since Bruce Atkins' 22 in 1980-81. He didn't go longer than three games without a double-double in 2010. Saunders posted his first double-double of the season with 20 points and 11 rebounds (and five assists & three blocks) vs. No. 3 (AP) Pitt on Dec. 1 and went for 12 and 11 vs. George Mason on Dec. 22. He added his 30th career double-double (11-10) vs. Saint Louis. • The Dukes played their first 10 games (5-5) without junior point guard Eric Evans, who underwent foot surgery on Oct. 27. Evans, who had streaks of 66 games (every game of his DU career) and 32 starts snapped by the injury, was cleared to resume practice on Dec. 21. He saw action for the first time vs. Northwestern State on Dec. 31. • DU is 62-9 (10-1 in 2011) when leading with 5:00 minutes left under Ron Everhart. • Everhart's Dukes have posted 25 road wins in five seasons. Of the 25 wins, 18 have been by double digits. In the 10 seasons prior to Everhart's arrival, Duquesne went 17-106 on the road with three double-digit victories. Everhart's Dukes own the five largest margins of victory ever posted by Duquesne teams in A-10 road games. • Ron Everhart's Dukes have scored 100 or more points 10 times in his five seasons. Only Red Manning, who saw his DU teams score 100 or more 23 times in 16 seasons (1959-74) has coached more triple-digit scoring Duquesne teams. Everhart's Dukes have scored 100 or more on the road five times. • Duquesne has led at the half in 14 of 15 games, and held a lead of at least seven points at some point in every game this season. • Duquesne's 16 3-pointers in its 110-67 season-opening win over Division II Bluefield State were one shy of the school record ... DU's 30 assists (on 41 field goals) tied the third-highest total in school history. • DU tied the school record with 17 steals at Houston Baptist ... in that game Bill Clark tied the single-game mark with seven ... Clark shares the record with five other players. • The Dukes have had five or more double-digit scorers in seven of their 10 wins (the Dukes had four in double digits and one with nine in their 81-54 win over IUPUI, four in double digits in the win at Saint Joseph's & three in double digits in the victory over Saint Louis). • Six players have attempted at least 34 3-pointers and 10 of the 12 players on the roster have hit at least one 3-pointer. • All 10 of DU's wins have been by double digits, with seven by 20 or more. • Dec. 29 marked the first time the entire 2010-11 roster was healthy for the same practice.

TULSA - Grey charges are small monthly charges to a credit or debit card. They're referred to as "grey" because you're not clearly notified about what they are.
Grey charges may be recurring memberships, automatic renewals or unexpected subscriptions.
A recent study from BillGuard and the Aite Research Group found while the average grey charge was around $61; 233 million of them cost consumers more than $14 billion in 2012 alone.
Grey charges are extremely common, according to the report, one in three cardholders is being charged for an unwanted service or product.
The credit card industry watchdog, LowCards.com , brings these details on how to fight the grey to stay in the black:
1. Pay close attention to your monthly statement.
2. Use credit cards instead of debit cards. Disputes are handled faster and easier with credit cards.
3. Read the terms and conditions. Grey charges aren't advertised in the bold headlines, so read the fine print to know what you are signing up for.
4. Don't provide your contact and personal information for free promotions.
5. Set a reminder on your calendar to cancel the product or service before the trial is over.
6. If you have to remember to cancel it, you may not want to start it.
7. Know how to dispute a charge on your account.

John Matarese looks into a common complaint about those storewide discount coupons.
This time of year, stores are throwing sale after sale to get us to do our holiday shopping there. And the biggest store of them all is Walmart.
With Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day this year, many parents stayed home, and missed some of the best deals on toys and tablets for the kids. But don't despair. What many stores don't want you to know is that prices are often cheaper even closer to Christmas.

2011 NBA Mock Draft: Marcus Morris Will Dominate for Golden State Warriors
The 2011 NBA Draft features many talented big men who can score, but Marcus Morris of Kansas may be the most NBA ready right now. He could be the best for the next decade. he is that talented.
The Golden State Warriors should put that theory to the test and select the Jayhawks big man in the first round. He could be the best power forward the Warriors have had since the days Chris Webber graced the team's frontcourt. I say days because his run really seemed that short lived at times.
Hopefully, Morris could last a little longer in Golden State than Webber.
The Warriors can score, but they struggle to rebound and play defense. Morris already possess the size and skills to defend some of the better NBA forwards.
Chad Ford of ESPN said of Morris and his Jayhawks that they were all solid, but only one stood out a little better than the others on one side of the court.
"Kansas has the best front line in the NCAA. Marcus Morris is the best offensive prospect of the group," says Ford. "His ability to be equally effective with his back to the basket and on the perimeter is special."
Morris has the size that could help the Warriors improve immediately. He could eventually be a great complimentary player in the paint alongside David Lee. It may take him a year or two to reach that level, but Morris could help the Warriors reach the playoffs with a very young roster.
You think about the guard play that this team already has with Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. That alone should be enough to keep them competitive for years to come. But in the Western Conference, two strong players is not nearly enough.
But if they were to add someone of Morris' caliber and pair him with Lee, then we are talking about an explosive club. It may not put them ahead of the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, but it could eventually be enough to get them past the aging San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.
So with the No. 10 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors could do much worse than selecting Marcus Morris.
But I'm not sure that they could do much better.
