President Vladimir Putin's new hard line against Russian protesters to be put to a test

MOSCOW (AP) ? Helmeted riot police round up hundreds of protesters, including some whose only apparent crime is wearing white ribbons of opposition. A teacher who spoke out about election rigging is dragged into court and fined. Now a new law signed by President Vladimir Putin on Friday raises fines for participating in unauthorized protests 150-fold, to nearly the average annual salary in Russia.

Putin has cracked down on the opposition since returning to the presidency, and he seems to be betting that by threatening demonstrators with prison time and harsh fines he can quash the street protests that have posed an unprecedented challenge to his 12-year rule.

Putin said that the law is designed to safeguard Russians from "radicalism."

"In guaranteeing citizens' right to express their opinion, including in street rallies, society must protect other citizens, the general public, from radicalism," he said in televised remarks. He added, however, that the law may be amended if necessary.

His strategy faces a major test on Tuesday when the opposition plans its first mass demonstration since he began his third presidential term on May 7.

Some opposition leaders contend that the tough line will help their cause by fueling anger and bringing more people out for next week's protest. Others say the repression will scare away the middle-class protesters who turned out in the tens of thousands for peaceful demonstrations this winter.

Putin, for his part, is refusing any talks with the opposition.

"He understands only one language, the language of force, and therefore he perceives any normal discussion and any rational compromise as personal weakness," said Yevgenia Chirikova, an environmental activist who has campaigned against Kremlin-backed road construction that is destroying a forest outside Moscow.

Chirikova and Ilya Yashin, who recently spent 15 days in jail for leading unsanctioned protests, were among a group of opposition leaders who met Thursday in Moscow to discuss the implications of the new law, which jacks up fines to 300,000 rubles ($9,000).

Yashin tried to ease worries, saying protest leaders would collect donations for those punished, as was done within hours when St. Petersburg teacher Tatyana Ivanova was fined 30,000 rubles ($1,000) last week. Ivanova was found guilty of damaging the reputation of an education department official she had accused of pressuring her and other poll workers to falsify the December parliamentary vote.

The anti-Putin protests broke out after the December election, which observers said was riddled with fraud in favor of Putin's party, and continued in the run-up to the March presidential vote. As many as 100,000 people turned out in the frigid cold for demonstrations demanding free elections, and the streets of Moscow rang with cries of "Russia Without Putin" and "Putin Is a Thief."

Although he was denied a majority in Moscow, Putin won the election to return to the Kremlin post he had held from 2000 to 2008 before moving into the prime minister's office to avoid violating a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive terms.

With the election over, the protest movement seemed to fade.

But on the eve of Putin's inauguration, an opposition march and rally drew tens of thousands, far more than either the organizers or the police had expected. The demonstration turned violent after police restricted access to the square where the rally was to be held. Bottles and pieces of asphalt were hurled at police, who struck back by beating protesters with truncheons and detaining more than 400. Some demonstrators were dragged away by their hair. Opposition leaders claim the clash was provoked by pro-Kremlin thugs.

In the days that followed, police chased opposition activists around the city, detaining hundreds.

Then the crackdown eased, as the authorities allowed the opposition to set up camp on a leafy boulevard. But there were strings attached: The organizers could not put up placards or make political demands, since that would technically turn the camp into an unsanctioned protest.

The authorities tolerated the camp for about a week before getting a court to rule that the activists were creating a mess in the neighborhood, giving police the legal right to disperse them.

The anti-protest legislation also provides police with new powers against such Occupy-style camps. "Large-scale public gatherings" can be banned and the organizers fined if they disrupt public order.

In a Levada poll released Thursday, 65 percent said they expected the protests to continue, although they differed on how likely the protests were to intensify or spread. The poll, conducted May 25-29 among 1,604 people across Russia, has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

The bill was rushed through the Kremlin-controlled parliament this week in an effort to get it in place before Tuesday's big protest.

Some opposition leaders had held out hope that Putin would refuse to sign it. Others, however, had said they had no illusions, pointing to a comment by Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov after the violence on the eve of the inauguration. Protesters who hurt riot police, he said, "should have their livers smeared on the asphalt."

It was the kind of language that Putin likes.

WWDC banner shot betrays iOS 6 debut

What does Apple have in store for us at WWDC? Well, it was a pretty safe bet that there was going to be some iOS news, and now we can pretty much confirm that iOS 6 will be unveiled at Cupertino's big developer event. What exactly we might see from the self proclaimed "world's most advanced mobile operating system" is anybody's guess, but it's probably safe to assume the power of flight or teleportation is not on the feature list. Hit up the source links for some more images and don't forget to check back in here Monday for the official unveiling.

Thunder reaches NBA Finals by beating Spurs in Game 6

For the first time since 1996, when the franchise was in Seattle, Oklahoma City is in the NBA Finals by virtue of their series-clinching win Wednesday night over San Antonio.

By Jeff Latzke,?Associated Press / June 7, 2012

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Kevin Durant holds the NBA Western Conference trophy after Game 6 in the NBA basketball Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Wednesday, June 6, in Oklahoma City. The Thunder won 107-99 and move on to the NBA Finals.

For all the points, rebounds and assists that filled Kevin Durant's impressive stat line, it was a defensive play he made that fired up his coach and teammates.

"That's his first charge of the year," Russell Westbrook interjected when Durant was asked about drawing an offensive foul against Manu Ginobili in the fourth quarter of Oklahoma City's 107-99 win in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night.

Indeed, it was.

The league's three-time scoring champion had 34 points and 14 rebounds while playing all of regulation for the first time all season, leading the Thunder into the NBA finals. But it was taking that charge that got his team pumped up.

Durant stepped in front of Ginobili's drive during a 3?-minute scoreless stretch by San Antonio that allowed Oklahoma City to take the lead for good.

"I just wanted to go out there and sacrifice my body for my team. I knew that would give us a little spark," Durant said.

"Manu's an unbelievable player at twisting his body and making crazy shots, so I just wanted to time it right. It felt good to get that for my team and I could tell they were excited that I got my first one when I looked at the bench."

Westbrook added 25 points for the Thunder, who trailed by 18 in the first half and erased a 15-point halftime deficit.

The Thunder took the lead for good early in the fourth quarter, getting nine of their first 13 points on free throws as the fouls started to pile up for San Antonio ? six on the defensive end and three on the offensive end in the first 7 minutes.

That included Durant's stop just outside the restricted area under the basket.

"Down the stretch, it seemed like they got every whistle possible and that really changed the tide," San Antonio's Tim Duncan said. "We were playing tough defense and trying to get stops, but the whistle kept blowing and they went to the line."

Tony Parker finished with 29 points and 12 assists, but only eight of the points and two assists came after San Antonio took a 63-48 halftime lead. Duncan chipped in 25 points and 14 rebounds, and Stephen Jackson hit six 3-pointers and scored 23 points.

The Spurs had won 20 in a row, moving past the Thunder for home-court advantage in the West and then taking a 2-0 lead in the series, before losing four in a row.

"There's not much to complain about," Ginobili said. "We had a great run. We just couldn't beat these guys."

Durant grabbed the final rebound, dribbled the ball across half court and raised his right fist to celebrate with a sold-out crowd wearing free white T-shirts. The franchise will play for the NBA title for the first time since 1996, when it was in Seattle.

Game 1 of the NBA finals will be Tuesday night in Oklahoma City against either Boston or Miami. The Celtics lead that series 3-2 and can earn a trip to the finals with a win at home in Game 6 on Thursday night.

New twist on old chemical process could boost energy efficiency

Chemical reactions on the surface of metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are important for applications such as solar cells that convert the sun's energy to electricity. Now University of Washington scientists have found that a previously unappreciated aspect of those reactions could be key in developing more efficient energy systems.

Such systems could include, for example, solar cells that would produce more electricity from the sun's rays, or hydrogen fuel cells efficient enough for use in automobiles, said James Mayer, a UW chemistry professor.

"As we think about building a better energy future, we have to develop more efficient ways to convert chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa," said Mayer, the corresponding author of a paper about the discovery in the June 8 edition of Science.

Chemical reactions that change the oxidation state of molecules on the surface of metal oxides historically have been seen as a transfer solely of electrons. The new research shows that, at least in some reactions, the transfer process includes coupled electrons and protons.

"Research and manufacturing have grown up around models in which electrons moved but not atoms," Mayer said. The new paper proposes a different model for certain kinds of processes, a perspective that could lead to new avenues of investigation, he said.

"In principle this is a path toward more efficient energy utilization."

Coupling the transfer of electrons with the transfer of protons could help reduce the energy barriers to chemical reactions important in many technologies. For example, using solar energy to make fuels such as hydrogen requires that electrons and protons be coupled.

The new perspective also could be important for photocatalytic chemical processes, including those designed for wastewater remediation or to create self-cleaning surfaces, such as the outside of buildings in areas with heavy industrial air pollution.

The research focused specifically on nanoparticles, measured in billionths of a meter, of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide is the most common white pigment, used in paints, coatings, plastics, sunscreen and other materials. Zinc oxide also is used in pigments, coatings and sunscreens, as well as white athletic tape, and also is used in the manufacture of rubber, concrete and other materials. Nanocrystals were used to closely examine chemical processes at the material's surface.

Mayer said the goal of the work is to get those working in various technological areas involving metal oxides to think in different ways about how those technologies work and how to make them more efficient.

The work also could prove important in finding more efficient ways to fuel vehicles of the future, he said. Fuel cells, for example, transform atmospheric oxygen into water by adding both electrons and protons. Coupling those added electrons and protons could make fuel cells more efficient and allow replacement of costly materials such as platinum.

"Chemical fuels are very useful, and they're not going away," Mayer said. "But how do we utilize them better in a non-fossil-fuel world?"

The work was funded by the UW, the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund, the National Science Foundation through the UW-based Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Many jurors chosen for Sandusky trial have Penn State ties

Jury selection wrapped today in the trial against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Brian Mooar reports.

By msnbc.com staff and NBC News

A retired school bus driver, a Wal-Mart employee, a Penn State professor and a Penn State football season ticketholder since the 1970s. They are among the 12 jurors and four alternates selected to hear the child sex abuse case against former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

With jury selection completed on Wednesday, the judge said the trial would begin next week.

Sandusky faces 52 counts of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period. He has pleaded not guilty and faces more than 500 years in prison if convicted on all counts. The 68-year-old grandfather has denied the allegations.

---

At least one jury expert says Sandusky?s attorney, Joe Amendola, was wise to insist that the case be tried locally. Prosecutors had sought an out-of-county jury.

?I think quite frankly that Amendola is hedging his bets, and he?s very lucky he?s picking his jury in the area. I think he will probably find one person in that pool who will keep Jerry Sandusky from being convicted,? said Robin Wertz, a jury consultant based in Reading, Pa., and a one-time Penn State football season-ticket holder.

?Penn State fans and people with connections to Penn State have a loyalty like none other, and they may need to see some real hard evidence, more so than people from out of town, to convict one of their own," Amendola told msnbc.com. "If there is a close call in this case ? I think that Amendola?s smartest move was to hope for that one person in that Penn State community that will prevent a conviction.?

But Howard Varinsky, a leading trial consultant who has been involved in high-profile cases, including those of Michael Jackson, Phil Spector, Jack Kevorkian and Timothy McVeigh, said Sandusky would probably have been better off with a change of venue.

?It sounds like you have a pretty straight jury there, and it sounds like a prosecution jury to me,? he said.

?The defense is hoping that with at least two science people on the jury. They get very picky on their evidence and want to see hard facts. There are no hard facts here. This is all witness testimony,? Varinsky said.

12-person jury, alternates chosen in Sandusky case

Details emerged of the selected jury's composition from the Bellefonte, Pa., courtroom.?Many revealed?a strong connection to Penn State. A look at jurors:

Juror 1: A woman and Wal-Mart employee. She has two daughters. She said she doesn?t know much about the case.

Juror 2: A 24-year-old man who plans to start school in the fall to study automotive technology.

Juror 3: A woman whose husband is a physician in the same medical group in which John McQueary, the father of one of the key witnesses in the case, worked. The woman also has been a football season ticket holder since the 1970s.

Sandusky's attorney had moved to strike the woman as a juror, but Judge John Cleland overruled his objection.

"We're in Centre County. We're in rural Pennsylvania," Cleland said. "There are these (connections) that cannot be avoided."

Juror 4: An engineer who is married to a librarian. "I do read blogs and papers,? he said. ?I did make a point of avoiding stories about this case. I reach a saturation point about 2 ? months ago. Once I received the summons I thought it would be better not read anyone."

Juror 5: A Bellefonte High School physics and chemistry teacher. He has two boys, ages 5 and 2. He earned his bachelor?s and master?s degrees from Penn State in 2003 and 2008. Asked by the defense attorney if he could be fair because he has two young boys, he says he could. He said he doesn't read too many newspapers and if he does, it?s the sports section. He said he knows about the case but not beyond common knowledge.

Juror 6: A married woman in her 20s. She works at a department store. She doesn't read the newspapers and said she has not heard any specific details of the case. She said she has no opinion about the case.

Juror 7: A Penn State junior who works part-time for the university?s sports facility. He is in his 20s and does administrative work for track and softball. He wore a Penn State archery T-shirt. ?He read a lot about the case and had opinions, he said, but could put them aside for the trial.

His cousin also played on the Penn State football team for six years, and his mom works for the State College Area School District. He said his mom knows more, but has not shared it with him.

Juror 8: A retired Penn State professor in his late 60s or early 70s. He is married and worked as a soil science professor in the Department of Agriculture for 37 years. He?s been retired for four years.

Juror 9: A retired woman in her 70s.

Juror 10: She works at Penn State as an administrative assistant in engineering. She doesn't know anyone in case. She has two daughters and four grandchildren.

Juror 11: A 30-year-old woman who worked part-time at Penn State as a dance class instructor. She said she has had conversations with her husband about the case. Her husband is a media specialist at the Larson Institute at Penn State. She has a Facebook account, has watched television and read newspapers, but hasn't seen information recently. She knows one potential witness through her dance connections, she said. She has one son, age 6. She has not experienced abuse in her life.

Juror 12:?A woman in her 50s or 60s who has been a Penn State professor for 24 years. She did not say what she teaches or what department she works in. She said she has read some news accounts and the Sandusky grand jury report. She also worked on a small committee with ousted Penn State President Graham Spanier.

Alternate 1: A 30-year-old woman who is a Penn State graduate student majoring in human development. She said Sandusky spoke at her graduation.

Alternate 2: A married woman with no children. She said she can be impartial and ready to commit herself to the time the trial would take. "I'm really bad about reading the newspaper. I don't watch a lot of television," she said.

Alternate 3: A man in his 50s. He is married and has two sons, ages 29 and 30. He works in Redding, Pa. He said he talked to his wife about it but wasn't overly exposed to facts of the case. He read the grand jury report when it first came out, but said he hasn't kept up with latest developments. He doesn't get a newspaper or follow blogs, he said.

He graduated from Penn State and his wife is the director for Upward Bound (a program within Penn State geared towards getting high school children prepared for college). This program has no connection with Sandusky?s charity, Second Mile. He attends high school football games. Asked about his two boys and whether he would be able to be objective, he nodded yes. His wife is a reporter, he said. His sister's husband is a retired corrections officer. He said did not know anyone who had been a victim of sexual assault.

Alternate 4: A woman in her 60s. She said she doesn't believe a lot of what is reported in the media and staunchly believes in innocence until proven guilty. She adamantly agreed that prosecution must prove its case. She said she?s seen enough television and movies to know that it "has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt."

MONTREAL (AP) ? Packages containing a human foot and hand were discovered at two schools in Vancouver on Tuesday, in what could be the latest gruesome twist in the case of a Canadian porn actor suspected of dismembering and eating his former lover.

Police said they could not immediately confirm if the body parts in question were the missing extremities of Chinese student Jun Lin, whose hand and foot were discovered last week when they were mailed to Canada's top political parties.

The suspect, Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was caught Monday at a cafe in Berlin, after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. He told German authorities he would not fight extradition to Canada.

Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Warren Lemcke said a package containing what appeared to be a human hand was opened by staff at False Creek Elementary School after 1 p.m. Tuesday. Another package containing what appeared to be a human foot was found by staff at St. George's private school for boys later in the day.

The British Columbia Coroner's Service and the Vancouver police's major crime investigators have been called in.

"There is no indication any student or staff has been targeted at any school," Lemcke said. "This must have been a very traumatic incident for all involved in the schools involved in opening the packages and the Vancouver Police Department will assist any way we can with our victims services section."

Zheng Xu, a press spokesman at the Chinese consulate in Montreal, said four of Lin's family members, including his parents, arrived in Montreal on Tuesday night. He said they will meet with Montreal police. He also said they will meet with the media at an opportune time.

Video footage of what authorities believe to be the killing seems to show the suspect eating the body, said police in Montreal, where the death occurred.

Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere said that although police have not been able to conclusively confirm it, they suspect Magnotta ate parts of the victim's body.

"As gross and as graphic as it could be, yes, it was seen on the video," Lafreniere said.

Authorities allege Magnotta filmed the slaying in his Montreal studio apartment and posted it online.

A copy of what police believe is the video of the killing, viewed online by AP, shows a man with an ice pick stabbing another naked, bound male. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it.

It did not show anyone eating the body but did show a man using a fork and knife on it. Police suggested Tuesday that they have access to more extensive video of the killing, possibly an unedited version.

"We're keeping some details for ourselves," Lafreniere said.

Shortly after the killing, authorities say, Magnotta flew from Montreal to Paris.

Scores of French police hunting for him were inundated with hundreds of tips and alleged sightings of the suspect, whose photo was splashed in newspaper papers, TV screens and websites worldwide, thanks to an Interpol alert. The suspect monitored news reports about what police knew and took steps to evade authorities.

Witnesses contacted French police with claims of having seen Magnotta partying in the Bastille area of east Paris, said Christophe Crepin, a police union official who shared details about the manhunt in a phone interview with The Associated Press. One tipster said Magnotta drank a late-night Coca-Cola at a bar in the northwestern Batignolles quarter, which police collected for fingerprints. Pornography magazines and an air-sickness bag from the plane he had taken from Montreal to Paris were found in a dingy hotel room where he stayed in Bagnolet, northeast of Paris.

"He needed to be seen, and to party," said Crepin, who relayed information he received from agents in the judicial police unit that tracks fugitives. "Naturally some of the people who saw him broke out into a cold sweat when they recognized him."

Magnotta's refusal to stay low eventually got him caught. He was arrested while reading about himself at an Internet cafe in Berlin after an employee recognized him from a newspaper photo and flagged down a police car.

Magnotta appeared before a German judge in the afternoon and was ordered held pending extradition, police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said. He was then transferred to a Berlin prison from a police detention center.

He will have to go before a German court for an extradition hearing once Canada formally requests that he be returned for trial, Neuendorf said.

"I assume there will be no problems," he said. "According to his statements to prosecutors he will not fight his extradition."

That means Magnotta could be returned to Canada as early as this week, according to authorities. The Canadian Embassy in Berlin declined to comment on when Ottawa may file the official papers seeking extradition.

Cmdr. Denis Mainville, the head investigator of the Montreal police major crimes unit, said investigators will review hundreds of homicide cases over the last 30 years in Montreal and throughout Quebec for any possible links to Magnotta. Mainville said such a review is routine in such cases.

Magnotta arrived in Berlin on Saturday on a bus from Paris, said Martin Steltner, a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors.

Crepin said Magnotta had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010.

"He didn't come to Paris by chance. He knew he could get along in Paris, he knew people," he said. Police, for example, trailed a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta, he said. Police questioned another man with whom Magnotta spent two nights. The man didn't immediately realize who his companion was, Crepin said.

At times, French investigators grew frustrated with leaks in the media ? notably a French TV report indicating police had used technology to track Magnotta's mobile phone. As a result, Magnotta turned it off, Crepin said.

"He had closely monitored what we police were doing to concoct his strategy," he said.

Crepin said surveillance camera footage showed Magnotta boarding a bus to Berlin on Friday evening. He said German officials were alerted that Magnotta might be in Berlin at some point before the arrest, but he did not specify when.

The case's full horror emerged on May 29 when a package containing the severed foot was opened at Canada's ruling Conservative Party headquarters and a hand was discovered at a postal facility, addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada. A torso, meanwhile, was found in a suitcase on a garbage dump in Montreal, outside Magnotta's apartment building.

As they unraveled his background, police discovered that Magnotta changed his name from Eric Clinton Newman in 2006 and that he was born in Scarborough, Ontario. He is also known as Vladimir Romanov. Police said he has 70 Facebook accounts under different names.

Montreal police on Tuesday said DNA tests have confirmed that the body parts mailed to the political parties were Lin's remains, and that they have footage of Magnotta mailing the two parcels that were sent to Ottawa.

In addition to the victim's torso, Mainville said investigators found more human body parts, including a left arm without a hand and a left leg missing its foot, in garbage bags left in the dump behind Magnotta's apartment building during the 18-hour processing of the crime scene that began after the suitcase was found on May 29.

"The head is still missing," Lafreniere said, hours before the parcels were discovered in Vancouver. "And one hand and one foot is still missing."

In Vancouver, Kurt Heinrich of the city's school board said no students saw the package at False Creek Elementary.

Larissa Warrington, the chair of the False Creek elementary parent advisory council, said students were in school at the time and police vans were present when she picked up her three kids.

"I came to pick up my children as I usually do and was told there was a suspicious package at the school," an emotional Warrington said.

"It is disturbing. It's awful. Why would anybody do that? It's very unsettling, as you can imagine, having children at this school."

At St. George's, Grade 7 student Devon Mussio said his mother told him the news.

"I thought she was lying and I was like, 'Whoa, that's disturbing,'" said Mussio, who was standing outside the school with his mother, Penny. "This guy's, like, a creep."

St. Louis Computer and Technology News ? Dell Unveils ARM ...

By: Jeffery Burt

Dell will use the systems to help build an ecosystem around low-power ARM-based servers for hyperscale data centers looking for greater density and energy efficiency.

Dell officials, who have been testing servers powered by ARM-designed processors for about two years, are now making those systems available to some customers, partners and software developers.

Dell executives said May 29 that limited distribution of its ARM-based Copper servers will help build an ecosystem around the architecture that is seeing increased interest from businesses and institutions running hyperscale data center environments, where there is strong demand for high performance, high density and high energy efficiency.

The systems, powered by Marvell?s Armada XP CPU, will be delivered to select customers and partners to run in their hyperscale environments. At the same time, Dell will make other Copper servers available in its Dell Solution Centers and at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to software developers, who will be able to access the systems remotely to develop and test software for the ARM architecture.

Ecosystem partners, such as Canonical and Cloudera, also will receive Copper servers to support their development efforts, according to Dell officials. They also said the systems vendor in the future will roll out an ARM-supported version of Crowbar, its open-source infrastructure management software.

The systems aren?t ready for market, company officials said. Instead, they?re being used for evaluation purposes.

?The ARM server ecosystem is still immature, with a limited software ecosystem and (until now) no ARM-based servers from a tier-one OEM,? Steve Cummings, executive director of Dell?s Data Center Solutions unit, said in a May 29 post on Dell?s Direct2Dell blog. ?Plus, ARM is currently 32-bit technology, which means current 64-bit code would have to be modified to run on 32-bit, and likely be modified again when 64-bit comes out in the next year or two. So customers have told us they don?t plan to put ARM servers into a production environment, but instead want servers to test and validate in their labs.

Still, Dell officials expect increased demand for systems based on the low-power chip architecture.

?We recognize the market potential for ARM servers, and with our experience and understanding of the market, are enabling developers with the right systems and access for the current state of the ARM server market maturity,? Forrest Norrod, vice president and general manager of server solutions for Dell, said in a statement.

With Copper, Dell can offer up to 48 ARM-based server nodes in a single 3U (5.25-inch) chassis, with each server node drawing about 15 watts of max power, with the total power draw of a full chassis coming in at less than 750 watts. The nodes also automatically discover themselves and interconnect when deployed, and offer a shared infrastructure design.

ARM and Intel, the world?s top chip maker whose x86-based processors dominate the server and PC markets, have both been eyeing each other?s territory for growth reasons. Intel is hoping to move into the booming tablet and smartphone spaces, where the vast majority of devices now run on ARM-designed chips built by such manufacturers as Qualcomm, Samsung and Texas Instruments.

At the same time, ARM executives have said they expect to begin eating away at Intel?s huge market share in both servers and PCs. Intel executives have argued that ARM chips lack key features needed in the server market, including 64-bit capabilities and support for the bulk of the enterprise software running in data centers. However, ARM executives in October 2011 unveiled ARM v8, a 64-bit architecture that will start appearing in systems in 2014, and have said much of the software running in the hyperscale environments is based on Linux.

System makers are seeing growing demand from Web-based companies like Facebook and Google, which buy huge numbers of servers for their massive data centers that process large numbers of small transactions. Such companies place a premium on energy efficiency.

?We believe ARM-processor-based infrastructures demonstrate promise for Web front-end and Hadoop environments, where advantages in performance per dollar and performance per watt are critical,? Dell?s Cummings wrote.

Hewlett-Packard last year announced a deal with Calxeda to build ARM-based servers for its larger Project Moonshot initiative, which is aimed at create ultra-low-power systems for hyperscale data center environments. In addition, Calxeda officials earlier this month at the Ubuntu Developer and Cloud Summit showed off a prototype server powered by its EnergyCore compute blades and running the Ubuntu 12.04 operating system. Company executives at the time said that additional demonstrations were planned, with end-user shipments starting this summer, and volume shipments from HP and other vendors coming in the fall.

Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT Research, said in a May 30 research note that Dell?s strategy for seeding the market with the ARM-based Copper system makes sense, particularly given its leadership in the hyperscale solutions market and the growing demand from this space for innovative energy-efficient offerings. However, King warned against seeing ARM as a viable threat to Intel in the data center server market as a whole, comparing it to the early belief among Linux proponents that the open-source software would knock Microsoft off its mantle. It didn?t happen in that case, and won?t now, he said.

?This isn?t meant to knock ARM,? King wrote. ?It?s a great technology with numerous market wins and scads of development successes. Far more, in fact, than Linux had at the time loyalists were prepping it for a prime-time prize fight. But while ARM-based servers are certainly intriguing, particularly for certain kinds of workloads and infrastructures, it?s a mistake to rank them out of their class or put them into the ring with an opponent likely to twist ARM right out of its socket.?

Pull together a beautiful food-service display quickly | Seattle WA ...

Whether entertaining friends for a summer party or just planning dinner for the family, set up a lovely food service to make the meal extra-special. It?s remarkably easy to pull together a beautiful service display in minutes.

One of the best spots to create a dynamite food-service display in seconds is on your dining-room buffet.

Begin by scrutinizing the wall behind the buffet. Can it use some great artwork? I have a sensational painting hanging behind my buffet that is so big it almost spans the buffet?s width. Its presence alone ramps up the look of the whole presentation.

Try flanking either side of the buffet with matching lamps. Forget those wimpy buffet lamps of old and go for larger, taller ones that make a statement. If your room has tall ceilings, like mine does, don?t be afraid to pick lamps that stretch toward the ceiling.

Once these design cornerstones are in place, add a few accents you can leave on your buffet year-round, then spice up with seasonal d?cor. For instance, include a gorgeous hurricane or serving bowl in the foreground of your buffet display, then use this fetching container to hold seasonal treasures, like seashells in the summer and gourds in the fall. Could it get any simpler? Or set the buffet as if you?re going to have a party that day. Use intriguing serving pieces to create an attractive display you can leave in place. Then, when you want to entertain, you just need to wash up the dishes and you?re ready to go.

I really enjoy coming up with unconventional spots to serve food and drinks when entertaining. It?s fun to see guests? faces light up when treated to an unexpected surprise. June is my absolute favorite month for entertaining outdoors, and through the years I?ve done a lot of experimenting with ways to display appetizers, drinks and dinner on my screened porch and courtyard.

This year I put an all-purpose black iron urn at the foot of the steps that lead from my porch to my courtyard, then topped it with a silver three-tiered server. The coffee service, displayed on different levels of the server, suddenly went from looking like a functional necessity to artwork that brightened up the corner. Think about how you can do something similar in your home ? put appetizers or drinks in a spot no one would suspect, turning it into a visually arresting display in the process.

When I entertain inside, especially if I?m having a big group that won?t fit at my dining-room table, I like to create stations around my home where I can place drinks and appetizers, leaving my buffet open to serve the main course. One fun and unexpected spot for a beverage service is on a small table placed in front of the hearth.

I think there are two keys to stress-free entertaining. One is to practice. The more you entertain, the easier it becomes because you find your own style and rhythm. The other key is to have the right serving tools at your fingertips. Through the years, I?ve collected the serving pieces I need to pull together a party in a snap.

If you don?t already have a good set of versatile serving pieces, start collecting. Let friends and family know what kinds of pieces you?re looking for ? chances are, they will be happy to have some ideas for birthday or holiday gifts.

Here is my list of must-have serving pieces for when I entertain:

? Multitiered servers. Whether they are epergnes, tiered servers or multileveled plate stands, serving pieces that allow you to elevate food selections are the key to creating a great display.

? Cake plates. If you want to make anything look special, serve it on a cake plate. For an even sweeter presentation, stack two or three cake plates on top of each other.

? Platters. Whether filled with savory food or holding silverware bundles, beautiful platters add to the elegance of a presentation.

? Silver trays. They make everything look elegant. Use them to serve food, hold plates or corral glasses on the bar. They serve a million and one purposes, and you?ll wonder how you ever got along without them.

? Apothecary jars and hurricanes. These essential decorating tools are not only great accents for displays, they can be used to help serve meals as well.

? Beverage urns and pitchers. I keep a glass urn with a spigot on my dining-room buffet to serve water, punch or tea. When I?m not entertaining, I fill it with treasures, like gourds.

? Serving bowls. For added punch, put a serving bowl or two atop a cake plate or another riser.

Take advantage of vertical space. In my courtyard, for a recent function, I created a drink-service display using a metal planter fitted with several leaf-shaped tiers. I rested wineglasses and an ice bucket on the leaves. I used a silver gallery tray to hold the wine. The live topiary next to the tray and the maidenhair fern in the tiered planter added to the garden ambience of this outdoor bar.

When selecting serving pieces and accents for a display, pull together a mix of heights, styles and mediums. I love to pair elegant pieces with the more rustic.

Excessive endurance training can be too much of a good thing, research suggests

ScienceDaily (June 4, 2012) ? Micah True, legendary ultra-marathoner, died suddenly while on a routine 12-mile training run March 27, 2012. The mythic Caballo Blanco in the best-selling book, Born to Run, True would run as far as 100 miles in a day. On autopsy his heart was enlarged and scarred; he died of a lethal arrhythmia (irregularity of the heart rhythm). Although speculative, the pathologic changes in the heart of this 58 year-old veteran extreme endurance athlete may have been manifestations of "Phidippides cardiomyopathy," a condition caused by chronic excessive endurance exercise.

Regular exercise is highly effective for the prevention and treatment of many common chronic diseases, and improves cardiovascular health and longevity. However, recent research suggests that chronic training for, and competing in, extreme endurance exercise such as marathons, iron man distance triathlons, and very long distance bicycle races may cause structural changes to the heart and large arteries, leading to myocardial injury. A study in the June issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings reviews the literature and outlines in detail for the first time the mechanisms, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of cardiovascular injury from excessive endurance exercise.

"Physical exercise, though not a drug, possesses many traits of a powerful pharmacologic agent. A routine of daily physical activity can be highly effective for prevention and treatment of many diseases, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, and obesity," says lead author James H. O'Keefe, MD, of Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, MO. "However, as with any pharmacologic agent, a safe upper dose limit potentially exists, beyond which the adverse effects of physical exercise, such as musculoskeletal trauma and cardiovascular stress, may outweigh its benefits."

Dr. O'Keefe and his colleagues present emerging data suggesting that extreme endurance training can cause transient structural cardiovascular changes and elevations of cardiac biomarkers, all of which return to normal within one week. For some individuals, over months and years of repetitive injury, this process can lead to the development of patchy myocardial fibrosis, particularly in the atria, interventricular septum, and right ventricle, and an increased susceptibility to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. In one study, approximately 12% of apparently healthy marathon runners showed evidence for patchy myocardial scarring, and the coronary heart disease event rate during a two-year follow up was significantly higher in marathon runners than in controls.

Although it has been recognized that elite-level athletes commonly develop abnormal electrocardiograms and atrial and ventricular entropy, these adaptations traditionally have not been thought to predispose to serious arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. However, it now appears that the cardiac remodeling induced by excessive exercise can lead to rhythm abnormalities. Endurance sports such as ultramarathon running or professional cycling have been associated with as much as a 5-fold increase in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation.

Chronic excessive sustained exercise may also be associated with coronary artery calcification, diastolic dysfunction, and large-artery wall stiffening.

Lifelong vigorous exercisers generally have low mortality and disability rates and excellent functional capacity, Dr. O'Keefe notes. He suggests that further investigation is needed to identify who is at risk for adverse cardiovascular remodeling, and to formulate physical fitness regimens for conferring optimal cardiovascular health and longevity.
