Velocity Micro brings Haswell to select machines in its Enthusiast line

Need a taste of Intel's latest silicon, but can't be bothered to build your own machine? Velocity Micro is here to help. Like the folks at Origin PC, Velocity Micro has jumped on the Haswell bandwagon, announcing this weekend that select machines in its Enthusiast line are now available with Intel's 4th generation Core processors. Desktop rigs with the new chips start at $1,524, but consumers looking for a more portable solution will have to look elsewhere.

    No rise in cancer seen from Japan's nuclear disaster: U.N.

    By Fredrik Dahl

    VIENNA (Reuters) - The evacuation of tens of thousands of people helped prevent rising cancer rates and other health problems after Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster, the world's worst in 25 years, U.N. scientists said on Friday.

    Radiation exposure following the reactor meltdowns more than two years ago did not cause any immediate health effects, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) said after its annual meeting.

    That would be in contrast to Chernobyl, the 1986 Soviet reactor explosion which sent radioactive dust across much of Europe and is believed to have caused thyroid cancer in some children.

    A magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, killed nearly 19,000 people and devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, spewing radiation and forcing about 160,000 people to flee their homes.

    Actions to protect inhabitants in the area, including evacuation and sheltering, significantly reduced the exposure to radioactive substances, the scientific body said after the session to prepare a report for the U.N. General Assembly.

    "These measures reduced the potential exposure by up to a factor of 10," said senior UNSCEAR member Wolfgang Weiss.

    "If that had not been the case, we might have seen the cancer rates rising and other health problems emerging over the next several decades," he said in a statement.

    Weiss, who chairs work on UNSCEAR's Fukushima report, told reporters that dose levels were "so low that we don't expect to see any increase in cancer in the future in the population".

    UNSCEAR's findings appeared to differ somewhat from a World Health Organisation (WHO) report published in February which said people in the area worst affected have a slightly higher risk of developing certain cancers.

    NO RADIATION-RELATED DEATHS

    Weiss suggested the UNSCEAR study, carried out by 80 experts and with the involvement of five international organizations including the United Nations health agency, was based on information covering a longer period after the accident.

    UNSCEAR's 27 member states scrutinised the draft during this week's session in Vienna, it said, adding it would be the most comprehensive scientific analysis of the issue so far.

    While a few received very high doses, no radiation-related deaths or acute effects were observed among nearly 25,000 workers - including employees of the operator Tokyo Electric Power Co - involved at the accident site, it said.

    Highlighting the differences between Chernobyl and Fukushima, Weiss said people close to the then Soviet plant were exposed to radioactive iodine that contaminated milk.

    The thyroid - a gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate vital body functions - is the most exposed organ as radioactive iodine concentrates there. Children are deemed especially vulnerable.

    "In Chernobyl, many children used milk which had high iodine concentrations, resulting in high thyroid doses, resulting in an increase of thyroid cancer," Weiss said, adding that the doses in Japan were "much, much lower".

    In Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, the countries most affected by Chernobyl, more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer had been reported by 2005 in children and adolescents who were exposed at the time of the accident, UNSCEAR says on its web site.

    "Many of those cancers were most likely caused by radiation exposures shortly after the accident," it adds.

    OPEC keeps oil output target at 30 million barrels

    VIENNA (AP) -- OPEC oil ministers reached quick agreement Friday on keeping output targets steady but deferred solutions on how to deal with surging U.S. shale oil production and internal rivalries denting the organization's image of unity.

    The 12-nation oil cartel's decision on keeping the status quo on production of 30 million barrels a day was expected. The price for internationally traded benchmark oil is over $100 barrels a day, level most OPEC countries are happy with.

    That's not the case for OPEC's customers. With Europe fighting a stubborn economic downturn and recovery weak in many other parts of the globe, most governments consider oil pricey, as do consumers at the gas pump.

    But OPEC Secretary General Abdullah Al-Badry said much of the end price was due to add-ons beyond producers' control.

    "'You fill your tank with cost of oil plus taxes," he told reporters. "If governments want to.... do something to the price, they should reduce their taxes."

    In a post-meeting statement, the ministers suggested they could hold an emergency meeting on reducing output should market prices fall substantially. Analysts, however, said such a sharp drop in the markets was unlikely in the short run, despite generally tepid global economic growth.

    "Geopolitical tensions are holding the price of oil high," said John Hall of Alfa Energy, alluding to turmoil in Syria and tensions over the nuclear program of OPEC member Iran. "OPEC doesn't have to act; the market is acting for it."

    On Friday, the price of oil was down slightly, in line with global markets. Brent crude, a benchmark contract for many international oil varieties, was 70 cents lower at $101.49 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

    Beyond prices and output, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries faces more complex issues.

    The rise in shale oil production in the U.S., the world's biggest economy, has an impact on OPEC as the country remains a main market for OPEC. Shale oil, which is extracted by combining horizontal drilling with a practice called hydraulic fracturing, helped lift the U.S.'s total output to a daily 7.4 million barrels per day this month.

    The Paris-based International Energy Agency says U.S. shale oil production could top 9 million barrels a day by 2018, at the same time as Canadian production is also growing. This is expected to sharply reduce the U.S.'s dependence on OPEC oil.

    It would also hurt OPEC's ability to influence market prices. OPEC's share of global oil production has been around 40 percent in recent years.

    The group's powerhouse, Saudi Arabia, and its Gulf partners have the strength to adjust to cheaper oil prices. Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi on Friday called the extra supply from the United States "a welcome addition to the world."

    Others, such as Iran, Venezuela and some African producers, disagree, saying they need the price of oil above $100 a barrel to do business.

    "We're very concerned, not just for Nigeria but for Africa as a whole," said Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria's minister of petroleum resources. "Africa does need to have its exports continuously going out, particularly to important export destinations such as the U.S."

    Sana Abid, an analyst with KBC Energy Economics, said the differing Saudi-Nigerian point of view reflected the "scope for discord" that could hurt the image of OPEC as acting with one voice on oil issues.

    "When the stakes are raised, everyone follows their own interests, and shale oil just amplifies this," she said.

    Divisions also exist along political lines.

    Iran is losing hundreds of thousands of barrels a day in oil sales due to international embargoes related to its nuclear program. The country is angry that Saudi Arabia has sought to plug the gap left by overproducing.

    Saudi-Iranian rivalries also continue to stymie OPEC attempts to appoint a new secretary-general, who is the organization's voice between ministerial meetings.

    Friday's meeting failed to decide among three candidates: Gholam-Hossein Nozari, a former Iranian oil minister, Saudi OPEC veteran Majid El-Munif and Iraqi contender Thamir Ghadhban. That leaves Al-Badry of Libya in the post.

    Analyst Cornelia Meyer of MRL Corporation said the split was understandable.

    "If you are Saudi you don't want Iran or vice versa," she said. "The two are in classic competition for hegemony in the region."

    With Iraq oil production rebounding from wartime devastation, the Saudis were also concerned about Baghdad's candidacy because of fears Iraq could soon threaten Saudi production supremacy, she said.

    Iran is hurting under a U.S.-led embargo on oil sales meant to force it to curb its nuclear activities. But Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Ghasemi shrugged off the effects of sanctions, claiming that a drop in crude exports was being made up for by international sales of gasoline and other refined products.

    Abid, the analyst, said that, based on reported trade figures, Iran's daily production is estimated to have dropped to about 2.5 million barrels a day from 4 million barrels a day before the sanctions.

    But Ghasemi told reporters that "production has not changed," although he did not specify what time period he was talking about.

    Kon-Tiki Directors Look Likely for Pirates 5

    Joachim Rønning and Espen S Kon Tiki Directors Likely to Helm Pirates of the Caribbean 5

    After learning that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director?Rob Marshall?s stint with the Pirates franchise would end after just one film, Disney went searching high and low for the franchise?s successor.

    Last month, that search turned a wishlist into a shortlist, and as of Wednesday, the studio has finally decided who it wants to captain?Pirates of the Caribbean?5.

    Deadline is reporting that Disney has selected the Norwegian directing team of?Joachim R?nning and Espen Sandberg from a shortlist that also included Fredrik Bond (The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman)?and Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman). ?Though a deal has not been finalized, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Captain Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp, have approved the directing choice.

    The duo may not be well known to U.S. audiences, but the fact that they already have one Oscar nomination under their belts ? for their 2012 historical drama Kon-Tiki ? shows they may be able to steer the Pirates ship in the right direction. Disney also probably liked that the directors have already displayed a knack for shooting on the high seas, as Kon-Tiki chronicled?Thor Heyerdal?s 4,300-mile crossing of the Pacific on a balsa wood raft in 1947.

    pirates caribbean 5 screenwriter Kon Tiki Directors Likely to Helm Pirates of the Caribbean 5

    Of course, that film was made for almost nothing. This time around ? and for the first time in their careers ? R?nning and Sandberg will have a major blockbuster budget at their disposal. And since Pirates 5 is expected to be a standalone film, they won?t be restricted by previous entries and will (hopefully) be able to use their creative vision to explore new worlds with the franchise.

    In terms of Pirates 5 becoming a box office hit, ultimately, it may not matter who is at the helm. Marshall?s film, On Stranger Tides, was considered by most to be the weakest entry in the series, and yet it brought in $1 billion worth of business worldwide. Though it?s unclear how many of those same folks would turn out for the fifth installment, it?s likely that a good chunk will be happy to see Captain Jack swashbuckling and drinking rum on the big screen again.

    With a script in the works, Depp back on board and a directing team secured, it looks like Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is finally ready to set sail. Once?R?nning and Sandberg finalize their deal, they will begin prepping the film, which expects to begin production either later this year or early next year.
