The CITE: Good Start to Fall Semester for edX

The fall semester is off to a rousing start for edX.

Harvard University, which teamed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to found the nonprofit online education start-up last spring, announced that about 100,000 students signed up for its first free online courses on computer science and an adaptation of the Harvard School of Public Health classes in epidemiology and biostatics. Free online offerings at MIT and the University of California Berkeley, which joined the project over the summer, are attracting similar interest, according to edX President Anant Agarwal in an article in The Boston Globe. In fact, MIT attracted 155,000 students for a course in circuits and electronics last spring. The platform uses discussion groups and forums to engage students, who can enroll in as many edX courses they like. Certificates of completion are available to those who show they have mastered the course. ?We view this as an incredible opportunity for us to ask deeper questions about how people learn and how we as a university help people to learn,? Harvard Provost Alan Garber said in The Globe article. More good news for edX followed as Bloomberg reported that the University of Texas, Austin, plans to spend up to $5 million to join the venture. ?The UT System?s partnership with edX is great news for Texas and exactly the type of effort I hope more schools will consider as we aggressively pursue the goals of improving graduation rates and making a college education more accessible and affordable,? said Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the statement announcing the plan.

Chip gear maker ASML to buy Cymer for $2.5 billion

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The world's leading microchip gear maker ASML, is to buy U.S. group Cymer, its key supplier of a light-based technology crucial to making a new generation of much smaller chips, for 1.95 billion euros ($2.5 billion).

The Dutch company said that Cymer would accelerate the development of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) semiconductor lithography, which will produce the chips that will increase power and functionality in future smartphones and tablet computers. The light source in ASML's EUV development plans has been an ongoing technological challenge for ASML, causing delays in production

Over the summer, ASML announced a string of deals with its three biggest customers, including Intel, Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. These will amount to the trio buying a collective 23 percent stake in ASML and supplementing its R&D budget to the tune of 1.38 billion euros.

Cymer and ASML have collaborated closely for more than a year and the acquisition was a natural evolution, ASML said.

The deal, which is due to close in the first half of 2013, is a cash-and-stock transaction. Each Cymer shareholder will receive $20 in cash and 1.1502 ASML ordinary shares per Cymer share. The total price is a premium of 61 percent over Cymer's average volume-weighted price in the 30 days to October 16.

ASML said that the deal is expected to boost earnings per share within two years, though Theodoor Gilissen analyst Jos Versteeg said that ASML is paying a steep price. Rabobank's Philip Scholte, meanwhile, said that it's an expensive way for ASML to get EUV back on track.

A bellwether for Europe's technology sector, ASML made the Cymer announcement as it reported lower than expected third-quarter bookings and said that fourth-quarter sales would be at the low end of expectations. However, it declined to give a 2013 outlook.

Its trading update echoed the downbeat message coming from other technology titans. Intel, one of ASML's biggest customers, said on Tuesday that its outlook remains weak for the remainder of the year because of falling PC sales.

ASML's third-quarter order book came in at 831 million euros, lower than analysts' expectations of 899 million euros.

The company saw weakness at customers who make memory chips because consumers were choosing cheaper versions of smartphones and tablet computers because of the weak economy, Chief Financial Officer Peter Wennink said.

Third-quarter net profit was 275 million euros, compared with a forecast for 278 million euros. Sales of 1.23 billion euros were in line with forecasts.

Petercam analyst Marcel Achterberg said that he expected ASML shares to fall on the news and would recommend buying on this weakness. The shares were down by 2.75 percent at 0827 GMT.

($1 = 0.7679 euro)

iPhone-Maker: Yes, We Employed 14-Year-Olds - Business Insider

BEIJING (AP) ? The company that manufactures Apple's iPhone said Tuesday it found underage interns as young as 14 working at one of its factories in China.

Foxconn Technology Group said the interns were found by a company investigation at its factory in the eastern city of Yantai and were sent back to their schools. China's minimum legal working age is 16.

Foxconn, owned by Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., said it was investigating with schools how the interns were sent to its factory. It didn't say how many underage interns it found.

"We recognize that full responsibility for these violations rests with our company and we have apologized to each of the students for our role in this action," Foxconn said in a statement. "Any Foxconn employee found, through our investigation, to be responsible for these violations will have their employment immediately terminated."

Foxconn produces iPhones and iPads for Apple Inc. and also assembles products for Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. The company gave no indication what products were made in facilities where the interns worked.

A labor rights group, China Labor Watch, said in a statement that primary responsibility lay with schools involved but "Foxconn is also culpable for not confirming the ages of their workers."

Conditions in factories in China are a sensitive issue for foreign brands that outsource production of shoes, consumer electronics and other goods to local contractors. Last month, Foxconn suspended production for one day at a factory in the city of Taiyuan following a brawl by as many as 2,000 employees that injured 40 people.

Foxconn is one of China's biggest employers, with about 1.2 million employees in factories in several cities.

The company has an internship program that takes vocational students who work for three to six months in its factories, accompanied by teachers.

Foxconn faced a complaint in August that vocational students were compelled by their schools to work in its factories in China. Foxconn said the students were free to leave at any time.

The Fair Labor Association, which was hired by Apple to audit working conditions at Foxconn factories, said in August that improvements it recommended in March were being carried out ahead of schedule. That included verifying the ages of student interns.

Lewis Hamilton blames suspension failure for struggling in Korean ...

Lewis Hamilton blames suspension failure for struggling in Korean GP ? Formula 1 news

Lewis Hamilton complained about a suspension failure after he had to battle for a tenth place in the Korean Grand Prix this Sunday.

On Saturday, Hamilton had qualified at third position but he was driving at fourth in the opening stint of the race. He was successful at matching his pace with Fernando Alonso of Ferrari in front of him. Hamilton soon fell back as the race proceeded as he encountered a problem with his car.

Hamilton confessed that the problem with his car had been a rear suspension failure similar to the one he had to deal with at Suzuka during the Japanese Grand Prix. He complained that the particular problem makes the car really difficult to handle and that he had to struggle with it throughout the race. He also shared his concerns with his team who assured him that it was safe for him to drive but it still had been a tough situation.

He was pleased that even though the car had given him a difficult time, he had been able to handle his circumstances really well. He was happy to have been able to score a point despite everything that had gone wrong.

?It was a real test but I just did absolutely everything I could. It wasn't particularly fun; moving backwards and then fighting with the Toro Rosso - a McLaren should never be fighting with a Toro Rosso and it should never be fighting with a Force India - but I put up as strong a fight as I could with Kimi without colliding,? Hamilton said.

He hinted at the fact sometimes it is not about winning but how much effort you put in do better. He insisted that he had done his best.

He said, ?This rules that we're pretty much out of the championship today but sometimes these races show the true spirit within, so I feel quite comfortable with myself that I pushed and I gave it everything.?

His car also got stuck with some Astroturf at the end of the game which caused his car to go even slower but he said it had only highlighted the problem he had been facing.

Hamilton is happy that he held on and was able to finish at tenth.

Austrians proud of skydiver Fearless Felix

VIENNA (AP) ? In tiny Austria, where souvenir shops do brisk business in T-shirts bearing the crossed-out image of a kangaroo, some hope skydiver Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking jump will mean that ? for a while at least ? people will stop confusing their country with Australia.

The daredevil Austrian not only became the first man to shatter the sound barrier without traveling in a jet or spacecraft, he also made the highest jump ever ? a tumbling, death-defying plunge from a gossamer balloon floating in the stratosphere ? before landing safely Sunday in the New Mexico desert.

But the pride felt here in the man known as "Fearless Felix" goes beyond reminding the world that Austria is not Australia. It also resonates on a deeper level in a country whose positive achievements have often been overshadowed by its association with Adolf Hitler.

This nation of less than 9 million people gave birth to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Gustav Mahler and Sigmund Freud as well as scores of other Austrians who have left huge footprints across the centuries in music, politics, art and science. Its Alpine lakes and mountain peaks are immortalized in "The Sound of Music," and its famed contemporary human exports include Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hollywood chef Wolfgang Puck.

But Austria is also frequently invoked as the birthplace of the Nazi dictator ? and more recently as the home of Josef Fritzl, the man sentenced three years ago to life in prison for locking his daughter in a basement dungeon for 25 years and fathering her seven children.

Foreign media commentaries back then argued that there must be something inherently evil in a nation that can produce both Hitler and Fritzl, prompting the government to declare that Fritzl's crimes were an "isolated case" that the country could not be held hostage to.

With such associations weighing heavily on their minds, many Austrians were happy Monday for a new local hero swelling the ranks of the nation's good guys.

Vienna resident Mahir Dizdarevic described Baumgartner's stratospheric stunt as "good PR for Austria," adding with a laugh: "Let's hope we won't get mistaken for Australia anymore."

Peter Portugal, a fellow Viennese, also expressed his nation's pride. "He's Austrian, and I'm insanely happy that an Austrian did that," he said. "After all, he broke some records - and they will last for his entire life, my life and Austria's life."

Austria's president and chancellor sent their congratulations and Schwarzenegger tweeted his. Facebook users gleefully suggested that the stratosphere be renamed Baumgartner Heights ? now the name of a Vienna street.

Almost 3 million people ? more than a third of all Austrians ? watched the jump live on TV. It was front-page news on all the dailies, and even hard-bitten newspaper columnists broke with days of questioning the sense of the endeavor, especially whether the reported 50 million euros (nearly $65 million) spent on it could have been better used.

"We need people like Felix Baumgartner, who dare to transcend our boundaries so that we all can look over our own tiny horizons," wrote Wolfgang Fellner, publisher of the mass-circulation daily "Oesterreich."

Giants put?whipping on 49ers

NY rips off 26 straight in rematch of NFC Championship to win 26-3

Victor Cruz?of the?Giants dances after making a six-yard TD catch in the second quarter against the 49ers Sunday in San Francisco.

updated 7:36 p.m. ET Oct. 14, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO - Antrel Rolle and the New York Giants studied Alex Smith so much they practically knew what was coming.

On one play in the third quarter, even running back Ahmad Bradshaw screamed from the sideline: "Trail. He's watching you." Rolle responded, pretended he was playing the ball and sliced in front of Kyle Williams on a short hook.

"He threw the ball right to me," Rolle said.

After a slow start this season, New York's defense saved its best for the 49ers yet again.

Rolle intercepted two passes by Smith, Prince Amukamara picked off another and the Giants shut down San Francisco in a 26-3 victory Sunday in a rematch of last season's NFC championship game.

"I think this is our most complete game all year long," Rolle said.

After outscoring the Bills and Jets by a combined 79-3 the last two weeks, the 49ers (4-2) met their match again. No overtime needed this time, and not much of Eli Manning, either.

Manning threw for 193 yards and one touchdown, Bradshaw ran for 116 yards and a score and New York (4-2) rode that dominant defense and four field goals by Lawrence Tynes to hand outspoken 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh the most lopsided loss of his tenure.

The 49ers had not allowed a 100-yard rusher in previous 22 home games. The last time one was Tennessee's Chris Johnson, who ran for 135 yards on Nov. 8, 2009

What a San Francisco treat.

"We were just waiting for them to play like we know they can play," Manning said of New York's defense. "They played outstanding. They played really well, flying around."

The Giants grinded out a 20-17 overtime win at rain-soaked Candlestick Park on Jan. 22, capitalizing on two fumbles punts by Williams en route to another Super Bowl title over the Patriots. All week, some San Francisco players talked about "unfinished business," and Harbaugh added to the hype when he fired back a strongly worded statement criticizing Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, who had said All-Pro defensive end Justin Smith often "gets away with murder" holding linemen.

For all the hoopla, the rematch was never close.

Amukamara's interception in the second quarter started a surge of New York offense. Smith, who wore tape around his sprained middle finger that he said wasn't an issue, lofted the pass too high and allowed Amukamara to leap underneath the ball before tight end Delanie Walker even had a chance at the Giants 33.

At one point in the first half, Manning completed eight consecutive passes for 142 yards and had the usually stout San Francisco defense out of sorts. Domenik Hixon tip-toed the sideline to catch passes of 39 and 16 yards on consecutive third downs, and Victor Cruz followed with a 6-yard touchdown reception and his usual salsa dance in the end zone for a 7-3 lead.

"The statement made," Cruz said, "is that we're here to stay."

Tynes kicked a 34-yard field goal for a 10-3 lead and Tarell Brown blocked a 40-yard attempt by Tynes, which led to David Akers' miss wide left from 52 yards as the half expired.

Akers, who tied the NFL record with a 63-yard field goal in a Week 1 win at Green Bay, also hooked a 43-yarder wide right on San Francisco's first drive. He made a 42-yarder from the same right hash mark. The All-Pro kicker is 11 of 16 this season.

"It wasn't a great day for any of us," Harbaugh said.

Once the break was over, the Giants sent San Francisco spiraling down and out in a New York minute.

David Wilson returned the second-half kickoff 66 yards to set up Bradshaw's 1-yard TD run. That quieted the Candlestick crowd - except for the Giants fans that sprinkled the stands blue on a sun-splashed day along the bay.

On San Francisco's next two possessions, Rolle intercepted Smith's passes. The first came on an overthrown pass intended for former Giant Mario Manningham that Rolle returned 20 yards to the San Francisco 12. On the second, he stepped in front of a pass to Williams and ran 22 yards to the San Francisco 5.

"I could tell, at times, we had him a little rattled," Rolle said.

"It's tough to speak about any other facet," Smith said. "We made it tough on the defense."

The only downside for New York is it settled for field goals both times. Then again, not many points were needed.

The Giants sacked Smith six times and had him under constant pressure, made worse when left tackle Joe Staley left with a concussion in the third quarter. Smith finished 19 of 30 for 200 yards, and the 49ers were held to 80 yards rushing.

"The nice thing was the pounding away of the pencil on the defensive line," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "I think the defensive line finally decided they were going to come out and play today and they did."

The 49ers were coming off a 45-3 home romp against Buffalo, racking up a franchise-record 621 yards and becoming the first team in NFL history with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing in the same game. This time, they were smashed.

"Coaches always let us know that we're not the kings of the NFL, the Giants are," 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers said. "They won a title last year and they're still that team to beat until somebody wins the Super Bowl."

Obama House Hunting In Hawaii For 2013 | The Tree of Mamre

According to Jerome Corsi, Barack Obama is house hunting in Hawaii, but not for 2016?for 2013, on the presumption that he will lose the election.

As he reports in WND:

Very quietly, Obama?s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, has entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013 ?
Pritzker, a wealthy Chicago business executive and heiress to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, served as national finance chairman for Obama?s 2008 campaign and is the co-chairman of his 2012 effort.
The source told WND that highly confidential internal polls conducted by the Obama campaign indicate Obama cannot win re-election, despite public surveys that show him in the lead.
?The public polls are mostly political,? the source argued. ?Obama radicals want Romney supporters to feel discouraged and give up. Truth is that Romney?s winning.? ?
Pritzker?s search for a developed property, suitable for occupancy four months from now, instead of property where a custom-designed estate might be built, is further indication that insiders believe Obama will not be re-elected ?
DuJan at HillBuzz.org has been reporting that Michelle Obama?s mother, Marian Robinson, who is currently living with the Obama family in the White House, has been bragging about moving to Hawaii.
?It was fun while it lasted,? HillBuzz.org quotes Robinson as saying, ?but wait until you see the place they?re buying for Michelle and Barack!?

For what it is worth, this story is nearly a month old (we just became aware of it now), and it predates the recent poll meltdown. As we said a month ago, the polls were bunk, and they are still bunk now?Romney is doing much better than the public thinks. That Obama is hedging his bets by going house hunting shows the truth of this.

Here Comes Charice!

By: Lynn Barker

Charice Pempengco?s story is amazing. She came from a poor background in the Philippines where she learned English from listening to American music. Her mom walked in to find her 4-year-old belting Celine Dion?s ?My Heart Will Go On? from Titanic while standing on the kitchen table.

After participating in countless talent contests in her country, this amazing young singer had almost given up her dream when Ellen Degeneres noticed her popular YouTube video and invited Charice to come to the U.S. for the show. After that, Oprah and on to success with more music and her recurring role on ?Glee?.?

Starting this week, you can catch Charice playing a talented music student in the funny, heart-warming new Kevin James? film Here Comes the Boom. We were excited to get more info from this petite dynamo who called us from her home in L.A.

Kidzworld: Talk about the process of winning the role of Malia in Here Comes the Boom. How was that for you? Did you have to sing to get the part?

Charice: I thought I was just going to read the script and act. All of a sudden they gave me lyrics of a song (?Holly Holy? originally by Neil Diamond) and I didn?t know the song. I was like ?What am I gonna do now??. So I downloaded the song on my phone and only had like five minutes before I had to sing it. I was so nervous! I really tried and I?m so blessed that they loved it.

Kidzworld: Wow, you are a quick study! Was making your first film what you thought it would be?

Charice: A lot of people ask if I would stick with acting and actually I love acting but between singing and acting, singing would be number one but I?m having fun. But, after ?Glee? and doing (a guest shot) in the Chipmunks movie then this movie, it made me more confident about doing more movies. Maybe I could be the serial killer in a horror film! I would love that!

Kidzworld: They would never guess you were the killer!

Charice: Poor victims. I don?t wanna be a victim.

Kidzworld: So you are a big horror movie buff then. You must have plans for Halloween.?

Charice: I still don?t know what/who I?m gonna be for Halloween but I?m planning to go to Universal (Halloween Horror Nights) and lots of haunted houses and all that.

Kidzworld: Your character Malia in this movie says she learned English by listening to music.? Is that true for you too?

Charice: Yes. I think most Asian singers or singers from other countries, it?s very common. Usually, all of us listen to music all the time and that?s how we learn English or other languages. I learned some Italian. That?s one way.

Kidzworld: Malia uses music to coach the Niko character in this film for his citizenship test. Do you think using music to teach other subjects is a cool idea?

Charice: I think that would be great. As a singer, when I was in high school, there was a lot of stuff I had to remember but every time I tried to memorize it and used music, I actually do remember stuff. It actually works.

Kidzworld: How do you feel about your Malia character? She?s very sweet.

Charice: The Malia character reminded me of Sunshine Corazon (her character on ?Glee?).? People ask ?What?s the difference??? The characters are kind of the same but what really got me into this movie was the story. I love the story and all of Kevin James? movies but this is the best. It?s funny and inspirational.

Kidzworld: ?Never Give Up? is a big theme in the movie and has been a theme in your life. What was the lowest point for you? Was it when you were 12 and lost the ?Little Big Star? contest on Filipino TV?

Charice: I think that was it. That contest made me sort of give up. I thought ?Maybe I?ll just go back to school and be a normal teenager going out with friends.?? I was in my room for two months. I was depressed.

Kidzworld: I can understand that. Due to YouTube you became well-known. How did you react when you were invited by Ellen to be on her show, then Oprah? ?Did you just jump up and down or not believe it or what?

Charice: It was Ellen first but I feel so bad. We didn?t have money so didn?t have cable TV and I didn?t know who she was! When they invited me, my mom said ?Who is she?? Then my friend said ?Oh she?s a huge American TV talk show host?. My mom was like ?You?re going to America?!? That was a huge thing.? Same with Oprah. It was like a Cinderella story.

Kidzworld: You are singing with Cheesa from ?The Voice? on the single ?I?m Not Perfect?. Are you guys buddies now?

Charice: Oh, actually not a lot of people know that her brother is my musical director. He was even before Cheesa joined ?The Voice? so we?ve been friends.

Kidzworld: Do you consider your sound more R&B now or what?

Charice: I love singing different types of music but I think if I had to choose it would be R&B and Pop.? I love creating new styles. Like I can turn a Frank Sinatra song into R&B. I love doing that kind of thing.

Kidzworld: That?s what you did with the ?Holly Holy? song in the movie.

Kidzworld: Whose music are you listening to most now?

Charice: I love listening to Frank Ocean. His music is my jam right now.

Kidzworld: Why will kids and teens really enjoy seeing Here Comes the Boom?

Charice: They will love it because it?s not just the kind of common comedy they would normally watch. Some of those get so cheesy but this one has comedy and action and it?s actually inspirational. Everybody can relate to this movie.

Kidzworld: What is next for you?

Charice: Right now I?m going back to New York to sing with Cheesa at Carnegie Hall and November 3^rd I?ll have my concert in Hawaii then after that I?ll probably get back here to L.A. and do more music for an album. I just released the Asian version of my other album called ?Infinity?. We?re still looking for more music for the new album.
