Ukraine's National Election — a Problem of Democracy?
On the eve of a national election, Ukrainians are not only disenchanted with their current leadership and economic situation; they are also the most dissatisfied among former Soviet Bloc nations with the transition to a democracy and free markets.
Widespread Anti-Immigrant Sentiment in Italy
Eight-in-ten Italians say they would like to to see tighter restrictions on immigration in a 2009 survey. Italians were also more likely than any other public included in a 47-nation survey conducted in 2007 to see immigration as a big problem.
Map: Public Opinion Two Decades After the Fall of the Berlin Wall
Explore an interactive map to see how Europeans answered key survey questions about the collapse of communism and the effect it has had on their country.
End of Communism Cheered But Now With More Reservations
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, publics of former Iron Curtain countries generally look back approvingly at the collapse of communism. However, enthusiasm about these changes has dimmed in most of the countries surveyed, and many say that most people were better off under communism.
Eastern Europe: A Crisis of Confidence in Capitalism?
The economic crisis could have troubling implications for public opinion in the former Eastern Bloc, where support for capitalism had been on the rise, but still remained weaker than in Western Europe and most other regions of the world.
European Worries About Reliance on Russian Energy Were Already High
Just as concern about energy dependence has become widespread, so too have unfavorable views of Russia and its Prime Minister Putin.
Xenophobia on the Continent
A growing minority of citizens in several European countries holds unfavorable opinions of Jews. Negative views of Israel, sympathy with the Palestinian cause, rising anti-Americanism, and a backlash against globalization and immigration all play a role in this trend.
Unfavorable Views of Both Jews and Muslims Increase in Europe
Publics that view Jews unfavorably also tend to see Muslims in a negative light. However, the trend in negative views toward Muslims in Europe has occurred over a longer period of time than recently growing anti-Semitic sentiment.
Obamamania Abroad: The Candidate Can Expect a Warm Welcome in Europe, Not So in the Middle East
By all accounts, Barack Obama will be enthusiastically greeted when he travels to Europe. But his trip will take him into less friendly territory in the Middle East where Muslims remain skeptical about the future of U.S. foreign policy, regardless of who is elected in November.
Global Economic Gloom — China and India Notable Exceptions
Although views of the U.S. remain negative, and many now worry about the US economy's impact on their nations, the U.S.'s favorable ratings have increased modestly since 2007 in 10 of 21 countries with comparative data. People around the world are following the U.S. election closely – and in most places surveyed, express greater confidence in Obama than in McCain.

@baddrummo JV is human too.
smoking isn't cool, kids!
i remember being very surprised to find out that JV smokes. he said once in an interview, when asked about drug users, that he would never work with them because they're energy vampires. and, at the 92Y two years ago, he mentioned he only drinks maybe 5 or 6 times a year. those tidbits sorta made me think no cigs for him, either. i mean he has such a squeaky-clean image! i tend to think of the iconic smoking picture as something for artists with a "fuck it all" attitude.

Dec. 17, 2012
The following article was published in the latest edition of The Horn magazine distributed to former athletes and Ram Club members. For information on how you can receive upcoming issues of The Horn, call 970-491-4666.
Three weeks after winning a bronze medal in the women's long jump at the London Olympics, DeLoach returned to the United States after competing in the last of four post-Olympic European track and field meets. And that's when the chaos ensued.
The day she returned she joined friends and family in Las Vegas for her bachelorette party. Four days later she was honored at a Colorado Rapids game in Denver. The following day she was in Old Town Fort Collins for a community "welcome home" party. Two days later she was married to longtime boyfriend and former CSU teammate Patrick Soukup. The dizzying stretch ended the next day when she and other Colorado Olympians were honored at a Denver Broncos game.
"It was amazing," she said of the post-Olympic blur. "I loved being a part of everything, but I was just exhausted. I spent our entire honeymoon (in Cancun, Mexico) winding down. I didn't do one thing that might be considered exercise. I just sat in a beach chair and read a book. It was exactly what I needed."
While the quiet time may have recharged her both mentally and physically, it also gave her time to reflect on her Olympic experience. While she remains thrilled to have won bronze in her first Games, she can't help thinking about what might have been.
The second of her six jumps in the finals is the one that keeps that "what if?" feeling alive. When she landed in the sand, she knew she had done something special. When she turned around, however, the official has holding up the flag signifying "foul."
DeLoach-Soukup was devastated.
"That jump was the one I came for—the one I had worked so hard for," she said. "That jump would have won the gold. After that I kept fighting for something similar, but I was just off, for whatever reason."
As it was, her best jump was just enough to hold off Latvia's Ineta Radevica — an old college rival who competed at Nebraska — by one centimeter for the bronze. Weeks later, however, she can't stop thinking about what might have been.
"I fouled by just a tiny bit — much less than a centimeter," noting that she agreed with the official ruling to waive her second jump. "That's what makes it heartbreaking."
Despite that disappointment, she still beams when talking about her Olympic experience. She left with a "ton" of swag: outfits, shoes, a comforter, Olympic pins — you name it. And yes, she got to meet LeBron James and many of the other members of the U.S. men's basketball team.
The opening ceremonies were her favorite moment.
"My feet were tired, and I was wearing this silly sailor outfit (the official team ensemble), but when you get inside the stadium you forget it all," she said. "That was a real 'wow!' moment for me and everyone there. I was standing so close to the Olympic torch I could actually feel the heat. It was an amazing experience."
DeLoach-Soukup plans to take a couple of months off before resuming her training. She still has to take her national boards to complete work on her master's in occupation therapy, and she's in no rush to make it back for the indoor season.
"If my body has recovered, I'll do the indoor season," she said. "If not, I will do the outdoor season full-on."
After that, it will be three years of hard work before she gets another shot at the top step of the Olympic medals podium in Rio de Janeiro.
"As long as I'm healthy and competitive, I will try it," she said. "I will certainly be trying to go back. I want another shot at that gold."

The Staff were about as pleasant as any hotel ever, cheerie and friendly. Easy walk to lake
Large well furnished room with a comfortable bed. Very pleasant staff.
Quality of the food.
Not good hotel
Wifi, airconditioning, staff, location at no where
wonderful staff that are very accommodating.
air conditioning could be a little better.
there was an awkward smell on the room floor
Beautiful grounds, beautiful junior suite room, nice amenities, very friendly staff, nice pool, excellent breakfast with lots of choices, only a block from the lake with boat service to all Lake Lugano ports.
Hotel sits on a busy intersection which is quite noisy when the windows are open.
Room was ready early and staff was very welcoming. Great views from balcony towards lake Lugano. Awesome parking spot and great restaurant on sire with good food and service. Good breakfast too!
Every thing
Free parking
• The room was very small I had to pay 30 frank extra daily to Change to a biger room even I booked for deluxe room which is bigger room • the towels were old and smelly
Friendly, very helpful staff. Good breakfast. Food in hotel restaurant was excellent if a little pricey. Very clean. Free mini-bar. Good location.
Air conditioning not very effective. Room (116) was above hotel restaurant so had to keep window closed if people or staff were smoking below. No tea and coffee making facilities in room.
Location, hotel, breakfast, and staff.
No dedicated concierge staff made a bit difficult to ask for info the reception staff as they often times are busy.
Lovely modern room, extremely clean although a bit small. Best bed i think ive ever slept in! We stayed for just one night but I would have happily stayed longer. Staff were lovely. Lugano itself is beautiful.
This hotel is a hidden gem. Even though it isn't in the square or main area of Lugano the location is great and the comfort of the hotel is wonderful. The rooms are very clean and spacious.
Caring and the room size
Good location; near the lake and on walking distance to the city center. Friendly staff, free mini bar, and free car park.
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Food in the resto was excellent. There was a lot of choice, prices are ok compared to some of the resto's in Lugano.
De bed is really too hard, I didn't sleep well. I don't like sheets but prefer a duvet, which is much cleaner.
The location is still good
I was serveral times there. But this time many things were a nightmare!! Key-Cards didn't work had to re-update many times. Breakfast buffet is not standart and you pay extra for ordered eggs, also not standard for a 4* room was badly smelling, like old and wet ... Renovation is required!
Lovely hotel! Clean. Has a pool.
Clean, staff at reception are very helpful, very good breakfast. Free mini bar :)
location close to the lake, view from the rooms higher up style of the hotel, ambiance rooms (space and layout) speed of service flexibility of staff on-site parking
breakfast selection no pro-active service around the pool
Location that offers a nice troll by the lake to the centre, nice terrace where you can have a breakfast, cleanlibess and design of the rooms/hotel.
Price is still too high for this kind of the hotel if to compare to Europe
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Our view on the lake was amazing. It is close to the lake side and the city center is not far away. Staff were friendly and professional.
We had a junior suite with a balcony and view of the lake. This junior suite was larger than the original room we were given. We changed rooms to have the balcony we booked. Staff was accommodating and friendly. The linens were very clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also clean. Breakfast was nice, a good variety of foods, including eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, jogurt, Cheese board, pastries, Etc. It was a short stay for us, but we enjoyed and would come back. We stayed here this year instead of on lake como for the Villa de Este auto show. A much better value and stay than last year at the same price point. It was a about a 20 minute drive to villa de este, with being stuck in traffic-so not too bad.
The shower head; it was difficult to situate without getting the bathroom soaked. I have horrible allergies and my eyes itched a little bit... With that said, I could tell it was a little dusty or moldy because of the age of the hotel, but not bad at all.
Excellent hotel, spacious rooms, large and well equipped bathroom, we also got balcony with city/lake view. Good breakfast with excellent coffee, plenty of choices both warm and cold. Free parking, free wifi. Nice and competent staff.
Not much to complain, it is a bit far the centre and WiFi authorisation system is very annoying, on a mobile it will ask you for a password every few minutes.
Air-condition did not work, 27 C in the room - staff didn't seem to care to much. We were offered another room 26.9 C. Not exactly what I expect for 200 bucks/night.

Chelsea cut for Champions League
Chelsea have been slashed across the boards for Champions League glory after they were handed a kind draw on Thursday.
The Blues are now joint third-favourites with Betfred and Sky Bet alongside Barcelona, having been placed in Group G with Schalke, Sporting Lisbon and Maribor, three sides which are all huge odds to win the competition.
Ladbrokes took a stand against Jose Mourinho's men and offer 15/2 that they repeat their 2012 heroics, with most firms offering 7/1.
Real Madrid were also cut for Champions League joy after the holders were drawn in Group B with Liverpool, Basel and Ludogorets. Coral offer 10/3 for Real to defend the trophy they won back in May, while Ladbrokes went 11/4 from 4/1 and the majority of other firms make Madrid 7/2 favourites.
Liverpool remain a best-priced 28/1 with Coral, while Arsenal are 25/1 with Betfred and 888sport but generally 20/1.
Manchester City were the major drifters after they were put in a difficult-looking Group E with Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow and Roma.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are generally on offer at 14/1, but BetVictor and William Hill go 12/1. Bayern were made standout 5/1 chances with Coral.
"The betting suggests it was a good draw for Arsenal and Chelsea as they are both favourites to win their groups, while Manchester City have work to do as Bayern Munich are odds-on to come out on top in their group," said Coral's John Hill.
Sky Bet's Joe Petyt said: "It looks like another favourable draw for Chelsea and they are our odds-on favourites to win their group, which would obviously leave them in a favourable position heading into the knockout stages, while City, Arsenal and Liverpool face far tougher tasks.
"All four Premier League sides are expected to quality and Liverpool are the worst result in our outright book but we're holding Jose Mourinho's side in very high regard this season with a prolific striker in their ranks again."
William Hill make Liverpool 4/1 to win Group B, while Arsenal are 11/10 to win their group. All the English sides are 1/4 to qualify from their groups except for Chelsea, in the easiest of the four groups on paper, who are 1/12.
Hills offer 20/1 for an all-English final and 100/1 that all four English sides fail to qualify.
"In the last few years, we have seen some great Champions League campaigns from our English sides and some frankly woeful ones although you will get long odds on either the best case scenario or the worst case scenario happening this season," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.

ScreenSingapore: Cambodian Filmmaker Chhay Bora to Direct Film About Child Prostitution
SINGAPORE — Cambodian director Chhay Bora — whose first feature film Lost Loves is Cambodia's second-ever official entry to the Oscar's for foreign language film this year — will co-direct a Singapore-financed dramatic thriller about human trafficking in his country. The new co-production, the first between Singapore and Cambodia, was announced this week at ScreenSingapore, Southeast Asia's annual film industry conference.
Bora says that although the film, titled 3.50, will be a gritty thriller, his ultimate aim in tackling the topic of child prostitution and human trafficking in Cambodia is educational, rather than exploitation.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director said: "Young people from poor families in Cambodia are often recruited to work far from home. Some of them find good jobs and are able to support their families, but some of them fall into the hands of bad people and are forced into the sex industry. By making this film, we can educate our poor farmers that they need to be very careful; and we can try to help our country to not become a place for sex tourists."
As he did with Lost Loves, a personal account of his wife's family's travails during the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia of the 1970s, Bora intends to screen the film in Phnom Penh's two modern cinemas, before taking it on a road show to the country's rural provinces.
Former Miss Singapore and local screen idol Eunice Olsen will star in the film as a brash documentary filmmaker who ventures into the seedy underground world of Cambodia's "virgin trade" to rescue a young girl lured from her rural village and sold into the sex trade.
PHOTOS: The Scene at THR's 2012 Women in Entertainment Breakfast
Olsen, who is also executive producing, has been active in various non-profits in Cambodia such as "Water for Living, Books for Learning," which builds libraries and water filtration systems for schools and orphanages across the country. She says she first became interested in the issue of child prostitution when she met a former victim in 2005.
"I hope that by sharing the stories of these victims we will be able to shed some light on the severity of sex trafficking in the region," Olsen said. "I truly want this film to inspire viewers, as I have been."
The filmmakers say they conducted research in Cambodia's streets for eight months, interviewing those formerly and currently involved in the local sex trade.
STORY: 71 Countries In Race for the Foreign Language Film Oscar
The Singaporean producers say one of their reasons for taking on the project was a desire to help Bora and his team further develop the emerging Cambodian industry, during this very early stage of tentative growth and exposure.
"The film began with the aim of forging ties with our Cambodian neighbors and highlighting compelling stories from the Southeast Asian region," said Chan Gin Kai, one of the Singaporean producers on the project. "During pre-production we also conducted open acting and filmmaking workshops to train the Cambodian crew."
The film will be co-directed by Singaporean young director Eysham Ali, a recent graduate of the Asian Film Academy, and one-time student of Luc Besson. It is being produced by Singapore's Supernova Media. Shooting began two weeks ago in Phnom Penh and a release date is slated for mid-2013 in Singapore and Cambodia.

Intel urges you to program better now, not the same -- later.
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | February 18, 2012 - 09:06 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, mobile, developer
Clay Breshears over at Intel posted about lazy software optimization over on the Intel Software Blog. His post is a spiritual resurrection of the over seven year's old article by Herb Sutter, "The Free Lunch is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software." The content is very similar, but the problem is quite different.
The original 2004 article urged developers to heed the calls for the multi-core choo choo express and not hang around on the single core platform (train or computing) waiting for performance to get better. The current article takes that same mentality and applies it to power efficiency. Rather than waiting for hardware that has appropriate power efficiency for your application, learn techniques to bring your application into your desired power requirements.
"I believe your program is a little... processor heavy."
The meat of the article focuses on the development of mobile applications and the concerns that developers should have with battery conservation. Of course there is something to be said about Intel promoting mobile power efficiency. While developers could definitely increase the efficiency of their code, there is still a whole buffet of potential on the hardware side.
If you are a developer, particularly of mobile or laptop applications, Intel has an education portal for best power efficiency practices on their website. Be sure to check it out and pick up the tab once in a while, okay?
The SSD powered Oaktrail tablet from Kupa is a trooper
Subject: Mobile | January 26, 2012 - 03:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tablet, ssd, oaktrail, mobile, Kupa X11, atom Z670, atom
You might not expect to see a tablet being examined at the SSD Review, except for the Kupa X11 which contains a 64 or 128GB mSSD drive. As the Atom and Oaktrail pairing are perhaps not the fastest mobile chips on the block, the initial testing tried to determine if that chipset would prove to be a bottleneck. They tested the Kingspec 128GB SSD which was included in the tablet as well as a Renice X3 120GB 'SandForce Driven' SSD and a Kingston mS100 SSD. The Kingspec was the slowest choice of the three and even though the other two did perform more impressively Oaktrail did indeed prove to limit the performance of the drives. On the other hand, it is still faster than a HDD and the SSD helps to extend the life of this 1366 x 768 10.1″ tablet to around 10 hours. Also worth noting is that this tablet runs Xin7 Professional, not a trimmed down OS, and will fully support Win8.
"Just prior to CES we had received an e-mail from a reader who had spoken of a company called Kupa, a tablet manufacturer who, as the reader had stated, "wasn't afraid to experiment outside the box". it took us all of two seconds to get to the Kupa Website and discover the Kupa X11, a tablet PC with all the power of a full size computer to include a Intel Atom Z670 1.5Ghz Oaktrail platform, 2GB RAM and your choice of 64 or 128GB SSD. Needless to say, we were impressed."

Cords? The Wireless Power Consortium Thinks They're Old-Fashioned
Subject: Mobile | January 13, 2012 - 02:27 PM | Matt Smith
Tagged: CES, wireless power, wireless, tablet, smartphone, mobile, charging
Where was the most interesting technology at CES? Intel's booth? Nope. Nvidia's booth? Guess again. Perhaps you could find it at Qualcomm's stand? Guess again.
If you ask me, the most interesting technology was tucked away in the back of the lower level of the South Hall, which is where you'll find smaller companies and organizations that have decided to forgo a normal booth and instead just rent out space for a meeting room. That's where you'll find The Wireless Power Consortium and its Qi wireless power standard.
Wireless power is exactly what it sounds like. You may have already heard of the charging mats made available by companies like Energizer. These allow users to charge a smartphone simply by placing them in the right location, forgetting about cords entirely.
Sounds nice, doesn't it? But there's been a problem with them – until recently, they've all been proprietary. You had to use a special charging case to get the mats to work with your phone and that case wouldn't work with competing products. You also were limited to charging in your home (or wherever you place the charging mat) which kind of defeats the point.
To fix this, there must be a standard, and that's what The Wireless Power Consortium has created. It's called Qi, and it's a coil-based charging solution that can be implemented in all sorts of mobile devices. Currently the standard can handle up to 5 watts and can work within 5mm, but both of these figures are to be expanded. New technology that can handle 10 watts is being tested, and the hope is for 120 watts to be achievable in the near future. That would allow for wireless charging of PCs and appliances.
But enough about the specifications. Why am I excited about Qi? Let me explain.
Many current smartphones have mini-USB ports for one reason only – charging. Everything else, from syncing music to downloading files, can be achieved through a wireless connection. If that port could be removed entirely, it would allow for more design flexibility. Take the current Droid Razr, for example. It is extremely thin except for a bulge that houses the camera and the ports. If you could charge your phone wirelessly, designers would have one less port to design around.
Battery life is another part of this equation. As technology in our mobile devices continues to improve at an amazing rate, battery technology doesn't seem able to keep up. I know – I own a HTC Thunderbolt. My phone has notoriously bad battery life with 4G LTE enabled.
One solution is to make batteries bigger, but that increases weight, size and cost. Wireless power offers an alternative – make charging easier and more frequent. If you had wireless power in your car, at work and at home, your phone could easily maintain a high level of charge. And since it's wireless, you don't have to do anything except place your phone in the right place.
The Wireless Power Consortium booth – er, meeting room – had some interesting examples to show me. One was a table with a built-in Qi compatible charger that can be deployed at restaurants, coffee shops and other places. In fact, some such tables can already be found in Japan and China. They number only in the hundreds, but it's start.
For our Asian friends, who use more public transportation and tend to live in more densely packed cities, charging tables make a lot of sense. But here in North America we tend to get around with our own private vehicles. To help the standard get traction here, The Wireless Power Consortium is working with auto manufacturers to place wireless charging in automobiles. They hope that we'll see it offered in a few vehicles starting the 2013 model year.
There are a lot of pieces that need to find their place in order for Qi to really take off, but they at least have the necessary partners including big names like Motorola and Texas Instruments, among many others. Keep an eye on this over the next year – it could end up being a true game changer.

Panasonic Launches Ruggedized ToughPad A1 and B1 Tablets
Subject: Mobile | January 10, 2012 - 11:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: toughpad, tablet, ruggedized, Panasonic, mobile, CES, Android
Panasonic dropped a new tablet on us at CES. Literally, they dropped the tablet on stage to show just how tough their new ruggedized ToughPad really is. The A1 and B1 ToughPad tablets are Android powered 10" and 7" tablets rated to be dust and water resistant. Both tablets are MIL-STD-810G and IP65 rated and ready to perform in very extreme work environments.
The ToughPad A1 is Panasonic's 10" Android tablet and brings some decent hardware to bear. On the outside, the ruggedized exterior and rubberized edges absorb shock and keep dust and water out. The front of the tablet includes a 10" multi-touch display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 and 500 nit brightness. The touchscreen can be used by either finger gestures or an included digitizer. Further, the front of the tablet houses a 2 megapixel front camera as well as microphone, ambient light, accelerometer, and digital compass sensors. The tablet internals include a 1.2 GHz Marvell dual core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, and optional 3G or 4G modems. A lithium Ion battery rated at 7.4 volts, 4690 mAh is also nestled inside. A microSDHC card slot, micro USB 2.0, and micro-HDMI connector as well as a stylus holder are also present. The device runs Android 3.2 and supports TPM chips and hardware encryption. It weighs 2.1 pounds (the price of going rugged, I suppose) and has an MSRP of $1200 USD.
The B1 model is the 7" version and will be available in the fall. Exact specifications on this model are not yet known; however, expect it to follow closely in line with it's bigger sibling's dual core processor, 1 GB of RAM, ruggedized exterior, and hefty price tag.
Unfortunately, all I can think about when looking at this tablet is how the heck Panasonic expects to sell this for $1200 bucks. This is definitely not a consumer tablet and moreso something businesses will invest in for workers in harsh (to electronics anyway) environments.

NVIDIA Shows Tegra DirectTouch and $249 ASUS Tegra 3 Tablet
Subject: Mobile | January 10, 2012 - 12:26 AM | Matt Smith
Tagged: tegra 3, tablet, nvidia, mobile, CES
Much of today's NVIDIA CES conference focused on small milestones, including the implementation of apps and new app features. The company showed multiplayer LAN gaming, easy access to your PC's desktop via an app called Splashtop, and highlighted the NVIDIA Tegra Zone curated gaming app store. All of this is interesting – but not new
There were a couple tricks up the green team's sleeves, however. One is a new feature for use with Tegra 3 processors called DirectTouch. This allows the fifth low-power hardware core on Tegra 3 to act as a touchscreen controller. Usually an independent piece of hardware performs this task, and it's much slower than the low-power Tegra 3 core. As a result, touchscreen sampling speed can be increased by up to three times – allegedly resulting in a smoother touch experience. We've yet to see how it pans out in execution, but the idea is promising.
Another interesting piece of tech that will be made available by Tegra 3 is called PRISM. It attempts to compensate for the image fidelity reduction that occurs when a mobile device is used with its display at a low brightness setting.
Availability for both of these features is not yet clear.
The remaining big announcements came via ASUS. First was the decision to release Ice Cream Sandwich on the Prime today, January 9th. As of the time of this writing it should be available for download via the built-in OS update functionality of Honeycomb.
Second was an ASUS 7" tablet featuring ICS, Tegra 3 and a low $249 price point. Oddly, the tablet was not named at the conference, but it appears to be the ASUS Eee Pad MeMO 370T. To clarify earlier information, the MeMO 171 is the version with a Qualcomm processor, stylus and cellular networking support, while the MeMO 370T offers Tegra 3.
The reasons for being excited about a $249 Tegra 3 tablet are obvious. That's the same as a Nook Color and not much more than a Kindle Fire – both of which run far older versions of Android (Gingerbread) and use older dual-core OMAP processors.
Last, and unfortunately least, was a demonstration of Windows 8 on a Tegra 3 reference platform. While Microsoft's new OS looks very sleek on the device, nothing new was announced, nor were new features introduced. It seems we'll have to wait awhile longer to see products pairing Tegra 3 and Windows 8.

Qualcomm Licensing PowerVR Display Intellectual Property Technology
Subject: Mobile | December 16, 2011 - 06:00 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tegra, SoC, qualcomm, PowerVR, mobile, Android, adreno
Quite a few mobile device manufacturers are implementing graphics processors and image processors based on Imagination Technologies' PowerVR technology. Popular licensees of Imagination Technologies PowerVR core patents include Intel, LG, Samsung, Sony, and Texas Instruments (a big one in regards to number of SoCs using PowerVR techs for mobile phones).
Interestingly, Qualcomm is not currently licensing the graphics processor portfolio that man other mobile OEMs license. Rather, Qualcomm is licensing the PowerVR display patents. The intellectual property features the PowerVR de-interlacing cores and de-judder purposed FRC (Frame Rate Conversion) core. The de-interlacing core(s) can do either "motion adaptive (MA) or motion compensated (MC) de-interlacing" as well as a few other algorithms to deliver smooth graphics. Further, the FRC cores take 24 FPS (frames per second) source material and outputs it as either 120 Hz or 240 Hz while applying image processing to keep the video looking smooth to the eye. The method for grabbing and extrapolating "extra" frames to take a 24 FPS video and display it on an LCD screen that refreshes at 120 Hz by displaying each one of those 24 frames five times every second involves a bit of math and algorithmic magic; a simplistic explanation can be read here.
It will be interesting to see how Qualcomm applies the image processing technology to their future SoCs (system on a chip) to entice manufacturers into going with them instead of competition like Texas Instruments or Nvidia's Tegra chips. The Verge speculates that this Qualcomm and Imagination Technologies deal may be just the first step towards Qualcomm licensing more PowerVR tech (possibly) including the GPU portfolio. Whether Qualcomm will ditch their Adreno GPUs remains to be seen. If I had to guess, the SoC maker will invest in more PowerVR IP, but they will not completely abandon their Adreno graphics. Rather, they will continue developing next generation Adreno graphics for use in their SoCs while also integrating the useful and superior aspects of PowerVR graphics and display technologies. Another option may be to develop and sell both platforms (possibly with one being high end competition to Tegra and the other being for the rest of phones as competition to other low end, low power chips) to hedge their bets into the future of mobile SoCs which is a rapidly advancing industry where change and what is considered the top tech happens quickly.
Apple May Bring High Pixel Density Displays To MacBook Pro Notebooks
Subject: Displays, Mobile | December 14, 2011 - 04:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mobile, macbook, apple
Apple pulled off a four times increase in pixel density on it's smartphone displays with the iPhone 4 which they dubbed the "Retina Display." Meanwhile the company's current 13" MacBook Pro is shackled to a 1280x800 display with an approximate pixel density of 116 pixels per inch. The low resolution (especially vertically) can make reading web pages or working with large documents a hassle as it involves quite a bit of scrolling up and down. New rumors; however, suggest that the Cupertino based company may be looking to step up the display resolution in the next iteration of the MacBook lineup. Allegedly, Digitimes has heard from "sources in the upstream supply chain" that the displays will have as high as a 2880x1800 resolution (and an approximate 261.25 PPI). Pretty impressive for a 13" display!
The current MBP
Whether we will actually see new MacBook models release with such a display remains to be seen; however, it would certainly be a welcomed move as the computer display innovation market has been rather stagnant for the past few years, even going so far as to go backwards in ~24" monitors from 1200 vertical pixels to the now standard 1920x1080 resolution. Perhaps this move by Apple will entice other monitor manufacturers to step up their game and bring 4K gaming to the PC, eventually. Heck, while we are on the topic of monitor tech traveling laterally instead of forward, what ever happened to that curved display from Alienware? Personally, I'm rooting for Apple on this one as the monitor market could use a wake up call!
Amazon Adds Free Kindle Book Lending To Amazon Prime Service
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2011 - 03:56 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mobile, lending, kindle, ebook. book, devices
Amazon has launched a new service to augment its existing Amazon Prime subscription service this week that is sure to please ebook fans who happen to own a Kindle e-Reader. The new service dubbed the Kindle Owners' Lending Library adds a free ebook renting option for Kindle devices.
The Kindle Owners' Lending Library is a subscription service like the Amazon Prime Instant Video service, except that instead of videos, Amazon will let you rent one book from the lending library for free. And as long as you maintain the Prime membership, you can keep the book for as long as you need to finish it. Once you're done, you are able to turn in the book and exchange it for another ebook. Another plus is that any highlighting and bookmarking done to the borrowed books will remain persistent across rentals, meaning if you ever re-borrow the book all of your markups will remain intact.
There are some caveats to the rental service, however. You may have noticed that I emphasized the term "lending library" when describing the service. I did this because (again, much like instant video rentals) the ebooks that you are allowed to rent will be from a smaller subset of the library of Kindle books that you are able to purchase outright. Amazon is looking to expand the library of books that you will be able to rent; however, in some respects book publishers can be more restrictive (and old fashioned) than members of the RIAA and MPAA are in allowing their content on subscription services. According to Tom's Hardware, amazon is, in some cases, being required to buy a title outright from the publisher every time it is rented (!). The company has said that it is even going to these extremes to try and show publishers the benefits of incremental growth in audience and revenue that can be achieved with such a lending (subscription) service.
The other caveat is that Amazon is currently only offering free rentals to Prime members who own Kindles, meaning that users of the smartphone and Kindle PC applications are out of luck. Further, there are restrictions on the Prime accounts that are eligible. Naturally, a full Amazon Prime account is required, meaning that you must be the primary account holder to use this service. It is unclear at this point whether the discounted student versions of Prime will be able to use this service (I've hear conflicting reports where some are saying they've gotten it to worth and some people have reported that it is not working for them).
Despite the caveats listed above, should Amazon's subscription service be a success (I think it will be), it will likely entice other platforms to adopt similar subscription services. Once Barnes and Noble, Sony, and Amazon all integrate some sort of subscription services, book publishers will (hopefully) be forced to make more content available. For now though, the Amazon juggernaut will have to brute force it's way into a decent subscription library. If you are curious about the titles offered, you can see the selection here. There are a few top 100 bestseller books as well, and the library can only grow from here. Will you be checking out the new rental system with your Kindle?
A tiny little wireless keyboard and trackpad for your Bluetooth devices
Subject: General Tech | October 27, 2011 - 12:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, keyboard, mobile, touchpad, chill innovation
The tiny Chill Innovation KB-1BT Bluetooth Micro Keyboard is 155mm x 61mm x 12mm (6.1" x 2.4" x 0.5") so you obviously can't expect full sized keys especially with the 31mm2 (1.2"2) trackpad on the side. What you can expect is to hook up the keyboard wirelessly to any device that can manage Bluetooth, the USB connection is to recharge the keyboard. MektuMods enjoyed using the device but question its value, the model they reviewed was 70 Euros (~$100USD) to purchase.
"There are several keyboard/mouse bundles available these days. The new KB-1BT combines these two items into a single package. This is something that one could imagine using while watching movies via HTPC or writing a document with an iPad. So, is it worth your money? Let us find out..."

Panel Self Refresh; a new way to save power
Subject: Displays | September 30, 2011 - 01:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: mobile, low power, panel self refresh
The idea behind Panel Self Refresh is a sound one, when displaying static images there is no need for the GPU portion of your processor to be refreshing it at full speed. If you simply leave the displayed image in the frame buffer you can turn off the GPU and get significant power savings. It will not help when you are streaming media but if you are reading emails or a pdf file or even browsing pictures, you should see some extension to the life of your battery. Hardware Secrets describes the technology in their article here.
"Manufacturers are always looking for innovative ways to save battery life on laptops. With the embedded DisplayPort 1.3 interface (eDP 1.3), VESA, the Video Standards Association behind DisplayPort, came up with a new idea, the Panel Self Refresh (PSR). Let's see how it works."

A Holiday Farmers Market is scheduled for Thursday. It will run from. 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at Fuller Lodge.
Recently the Los Alamos Co-op Market welcomes two senior managers to the staff. Jose Peraita has been hired to take on the front end manager position, while Theresa Westfall is taking the reins of deli manager.
Peraita worked in the deli and has fully embraced the spirit of co-ops in his interactions with customers and staff.
He will take over as front end manager from Tim Morrison who was part of the original management team. Morrison is leaving the co-op to start graduate school abroad.
Westfall has restaurant kitchen management experience along with a great attitude and enthusiasm for learning about co-ops, which will help her transition into her role as deli manager.
She will be attending deli operations training in mid-January to hone her skills and transfer her knowledge of restaurant kitchens to grocery delis.
The Los Alamos Co-op Market can be found at two locations: 95 Entrada Dr. and inside Fusion Multisport on Central across from CB Fox. Check the website losalamos.coop or call 695-1579 for more information.
The Valles Caldera National Preserve announced it was implementing prescribed pile burning that started today and is scheduled to continue through Wednesday.
The prescribed pile burn will take place on 75 acres of the VCNP north of N.M. 4 in the Banco Bonito area near mile marker 30.
The purpose of the burn is to reduce hazardous fuels and the chance for future catastrophic fire and for the restoration of fire in a fire-adapted ecosystem, according to a VCNP press release.
Because of the location and elevation, smoke from the burn may be visible from all directions coming into the Jemez Mountains area.
Smoke may have variable effects on neighboring communities including La Cueva, Sierra Los Piños, Jemez Springs and other areas near N.M. 4.
The burn activity, according to VCNP, is not expected to impact recreation sites or necessitate road closures.
VCNP officials said the pretreatment of the forest substantially reduced the amount of fuel in the project area and lessened the associated production of smoke.
However, smoke could be a nuisance to some people. It may be a health concern for children, pregnant women, senior citizens, and those suffering from allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, or other heart or lung diseases.
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — One of the "E.T." Atari game cartridges unearthed this year from a heap of garbage buried deep in the New Mexico desert has been added to the video game history collection at the Smithsonian.
Museum specialist Drew Robarge made the announcement Monday in a blog post. He included a photograph of the crinkled cartridge along with the official serial number assigned to the game by the city of Alamogordo.
The game was one of hundreds recovered at the city's landfill last spring as a team of documentary filmmakers investigated a decades-old urban legend that centered on Atari secretly dumping the cartridges. The "E.T." game had the reputation of being the worst game ever, and it contributed to the demise of the company.
Robarge said the Smithsonian has some amazing artifacts that represent big moments in video game history, including Ralph Baer's "Brown Box" prototype for the first video game console and a Pong arcade cabinet. However, missing was something that represented what he called "the darkest days" of the early 1980s when the U.S. video game industry crashed.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Robin Williams' suicide seared into the world's collective mindset more than anything else this year, based on what people were searching for on Google.
The reaction to Williams' death in August topped Google's list of 2014's fastest-rising search requests. It beat notable events such as the World Cup, the Ebola outbreak, the March disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the Ice Bucket Challenge, an Internet video craze to raise awareness and money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Other topics of worldwide intrigue on Google included the addictive smartphone game "Flappy Bird," bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst, the Middle East extremist group ISIS, the hit Disney movie "Frozen" and the Winter Olympics in Russia.
Williams, Ebola, the World Cup and the Ice Bucket also ranked among the most-discussed subjects this year on Facebook, which released its list last week. Google released its list Tuesday.
I needed to write about something positive prior to the winter break.
Please consider this the final reminder for nominations for the Community Asset Awards are due on Monday.
This will be the sixth annual event where we recognize all ages, various businesses, clubs and programs that make our community and the world a little better.
I know this is a busy time of year with finals week, things to bake, picking up, dropping off and the general things associated with daily life.
It only takes about 10 minutes, five of which could be done thinking about it while you're in the shower. The other five would consist of you writing a paragraph or two about a deserving nominee, that I read while they stand in front of a crowd of do-gooders.
You may regret it if you don't just do it and the boost on their end is not measureable. It is a joyous time, every year.
So think about who makes this community a better place to live or work. Who is doing something that makes a difference in their school, their community, or the world?

The name won't change, but some very significant things could now that the 88,900-acre Valles Caldera National Preserve is transitioning from a trust under the auspices of the National Forest Service to a National Park Service property. The park became the 18th national park preserve on Friday as part of a public lands bill passed with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
"The board is very pleased with the passage of the bill that will safeguard the Valles Caldera as a national park preserve, keeping intact such programs as grazing, hunting, allowing increased access to the public while still preserving it and all the tribal sacred sites and the ability to work with tribes," said Kent Salazar, chair of the Valles Caldera Trust Board.
"So we're very pleased that it's transitioned to a permanent preservation of this area, which is a magnificent gem of national land. We're also committed to making a vey seamless transition with the park service."
The preserve status means several significant things will not change.
The legislation, first introduced by then-Sen. Jeff Bingaman and now sponsored by Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich (all D-N.M.), requires that hunting, fishing and grazing continue, along with recreational access.
The Power Rate Adjustment provision currently in the proposed electric rate ordinance should be removed. There are sound policy reasons for opposing the provisions. But more importantly the provision violates Charter Art. 504. I apologize for the length, but I am attempting to provide useful background and analysis to help council make a considered decision.
Background: The Charter (Art. 504) defines the role of council and Board of Public Utilities in the rate process. Perhaps because there was concern about abuse of the rate process, all actions on rates must be done after public hearings by both the BPU and the council. The language in the charter is mandatory. In addition, there is no latitude for either body to deviate from charter process or to create alternate processes than may be more facile.
SANTA FE — The Supreme Court of New Mexico has determined that Los Alamos District Court Judge Sheri A. Raphaelson will have to leave office Jan. 1, the date that her six-year term ends.
Judge Raphaelson lost a Nov. 4 retention vote when 44.02 percent of the voters in the counties she serves, which include Los Alamos, Santa Fe and Rio Arriba, opted not to keep her on the bench for another term.
According to New Mexico election laws, Raphaelson needed at least 57 percent of the vote in order to stay in office. She only received 55.98 percent.
Raphaelson lost her retention vote largely on the strength of Los Alamos County's results. The county cast 343 more votes not to retain her than wanted her back — she won the retention vote by a narrow 41-vote margin in Rio Arriba County, but by a relatively comfortable margin in Santa Fe County.
After the election, Raphaelson immediately challenged the judicial system's reasoning to put her on the ballot in the first place through a letter to Chief First Judicial Judge Raymond Vigil.

One part burrito, one part jambalaya, all good. If you want to crank the heat, splash some hot sauce onto the rice and beans, or sprinkle diced jalapeno peppers inside before rolling up the tortilla. This filling also would be good as a hearty rice dish served alongside spicy grilled chicken. Or add a quart of chicken broth, bring it to a simmer, and you've got a satisfying soup.

Michelin North America Inc. is opening a plant in Piedmont, S.C., dedicated to the production of its "Tweel" non-pneumatic tire/wheel assembly.
Groupe Michelin is beginning to get traction for its polyurethane Tweel airless tire, with lawn and agriculture industry giant Deere & Co. outfitting a line of its commercial lawn mowers with the tire.
Thermoformer and recycler East Jordan Plastics Inc. is boosting its injection molding capabilities and has recently added a new line of injection molded baskets and planters.
The Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA) certified the first two businesses — a pipe extruder and a fittings producer — to meet requirements of its new Sustainable Manufacturing Conformity Assessment Program (SM-CAP).
Pennsylvania farmer Jim Saunders pitched his idea for a vinyl wrap to protect tree trunks from deer to U.S. processors in five states but no one would go out on a limb to manufacture the first small run of his patented product.
