Egypt's new president starts building government
CAIRO (Reuters) - Mohamed Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected president whose powers have already been curbed by the army, began work on a coalition on Monday after touring his new palace, once home of Hosni Mubarak who banned his movement for three decades.
Declared winner on Sunday a week after a tumultuous run-off vote that pitted him against a former air force chief, the Islamist faces the challenge of meeting sky-high expectations in a nation tired of turmoil while the economy is on the ropes.
But his campaign pledge to complete the revolution that toppled Mubarak last year but left the pillars of his rule intact will come up against the entrenched interests of the generals who are in charge of the transition to democracy.
Shortly before the historic presidential vote, a newly elected Islamist-led parliament was dissolved by the army based on a court order, and the generals issued a decree setting limits on the president's remit, which cuts into Mursi's powers to act but exposes him to blame for any failures.
Critics at home and in the West called it a "soft coup".
One pressing concern - on which many Egyptians are likely to judge his performance - will to be to revive the economy of the world's most populous Arab nation.
Monday's stock market rally, at least partly fuelled by relief that the vote and result passed off without violence, may encourage the new president, but he still has to prove to wary longer-term investors that Egypt is on the road to recovery.
Egyptian newspapers welcomed Mursi's win over Ahmed Shafik, Mubarak's last prime minister, as a victory for the people, although many more liberal-minded Egyptians worry his conservative group will slowly whittle away at social freedoms.
Further afield, his win has had an immediate impact beyond Egypt's borders, inspiring Islamists who have risen up against autocrats across the Middle East and swept to power in North Africa. Israel worries its 1979 peace deal with Egypt, never warm, will cool further.
Palestinians in Gaza, however, are delighted.
Iran saw his election as an "Islamic awakening" - though Tehran and the Muslim Brotherhood follow different, often opposing forms of the faith. Iran's Fars news agency published an interview in which Mursi called for restoring full ties between Cairo and Tehran to build strategic "balance". A Mursi aide said he gave the interview 10 days ago.
DRAMATIC REVERSAL OF FORTUNES
A security official said Mursi, 60, and his wife took a tour of their new home, once Mubarak's main residence - a dramatic change of fortunes full of symbolism for a former political prisoner whose group was pursued remorselessly during Mubarak's 30-year rule.
An aide said Mursi then went to the Defence Ministry for talks with the head of the ruling military council's Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi and the army-appointed Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri. They discussed forming a new government at the meetings, which Egyptians will see as a sign that real power still lies with the army.
As president, Mursi can appoint the cabinet. His aides say he has already reached out to politicians from outside the Brotherhood such as reformist Mohamed ElBaradei, who has yet to publicly respond. But legislative powers remain with the army while the parliament is dissolved, restricting his power to act.
Egypt's army-appointed government, led by al-Ganzouri who also served in the 1990s as prime minister under Mubarak, submitted its resignation on Monday but was asked to stay on temporarily until Mursi, who has yet to take the oath of office, put a team together, Information Minister Ahmed Anis said
"The revolution reaches the republican palace," wrote Al-Shorouk newspaper. Another, Al-Akhbar, quoted from Mursi's victory speech: "I am a servant of the people and an employee of the citizens".
It is a sentiment widely spoken: the sense that at last, perhaps, Egyptians have a leader who can be "fired".
Celebrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square - theatre of the revolution that overthrew Mubarak - extended through the night. Some Brotherhood followers were still celebrating, surprised by their victory that broke a six-decade tradition of presidents plucked from the military.
"STRENGTH TO NEGOTIATE"
"It was a little surprising that the army acknowledged his win," said 40-year-old teacher Adel Mohamed who was in the square when the result was declared after a nervous week's wait since the vote. "The pressure from the street, from the revolution, will give Mursi strength to negotiate."
From Syria's opposition who are seeking the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad came word that Cairo was again a "source of hope" for a people "facing a repressive war of annihilation".
But millions of Egyptians, and the Western powers, looked on with unease at the prospect of the long-suppressed Brotherhood making good on its dream of an Islamic state.
Israel has been particularly nervous, urging its neighbour to respect their peace deal. It worries that the Brotherhood's win will embolden Palestinian Islamists opposed to Israel.
"Darkness in Egypt," headlined Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he "respected" the result and said he saw future cooperation with the new administration.
An aide to Mursi said during Mursi's campaign that he would delegate meetings with Israeli officials to his foreign minister, unlike Mubarak who often met top Israelis. Mubarak went to Israel only once, for the funeral of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
"Mursi's victory is most likely to strengthen the hand of Hamas in its fight against Israel because it will give it a moral boost," said political scientist Mustapha al-Sayyed.
But the army, determined not to see its $1.3 billion in U.S. military aid a year jeopardised, will probably ensure ties are not undermined even if the relationship sours, diplomats say.
Pledging to uphold international treaties, in a gesture to Israel, Mursi said in his first televised address as president-elect that he would work with others to see the democratic revolution through.
"There is no room now for the language of confrontation," he said, a message addressed not just to the army but to the young, urban revolutionaries who launched last year's uprising only to see the Brotherhood dominate the political scene afterwards.
One of the most influential revolutionary youth groups greeted Mursi's win as a victory for last year's uprising.
"We have defeated the candidate of Mubarak's military state, the candidate of the corrupt 'deep state' that we are fed up with," said the April 6 Youth movement.
"Starting today we will work as one body for Egypt."
COMPROMISING WITH THE MILITARY
Western powers congratulated Mursi, who received a phone call from U.S. President Barack Obama, offering help.
The White House said in a statement: "The president underscored that the United States will continue to support Egypt's transition to democracy and stand by the Egyptian people as they fulfil the promise of their revolution."
Mursi may have little choice but to compromise with the army, and Brotherhood sources said a package of agreements discussed with generals last week could soon be announced.
The Brotherhood's political gains, first winning the biggest bloc in parliament and then running for president, had rattled the military. With the help of a Mubarak-era judiciary, the military council dissolved parliament on the eve of the presidential vote, then gave itself the legislative power.
Senior Brotherhood officials say they have been negotiating in the past week to change some of that, though both sides deny any haggling over the result of the presidential vote itself.
"President Mursi and his team have been in talks with the military council to bring back the democratically elected parliament and other issues," Essam Haddad, a senior Brotherhood official, told Reuters on Monday.
Brotherhood sources told Reuters they hoped the army might allow a partial recall of parliament and other concessions in return for Mursi exercising his powers to name a government and presidential administration in ways the army approves of - notably by extending appointments across the political spectrum.
Military officials have confirmed discussions in the past few days but had no immediate comment on the latest talks.
Brotherhood officials have said they will press on with street protests to pressure the army but this, along with a number of other contentious issues including to whom and where Mursi swears his oath of office, could be settled soon.
The army wants Mursi sworn in on June 30, meeting a deadline it set itself for handing over Egypt to "civilian rule" - although the military's influence will go on long beyond that.

Muslim Brotherhood's Morsi becomes Egypt's first civilian president
The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was declared Egypt's first civilian president since the monarchy was overthrown in 1952. But he will share power with a military suspicious of his 84-year-old Islamist organization.
Egyptian protesters celebrate the victory of Mohammed Morsi in the country's presidential election, in Tahrir Square in Cairo, June 24. Mohammed Morsi was declared Egypt's first Islamist president on Sunday after the freest elections in the country's history, narrowly defeating Hosni Mubarak's last Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq in a race that raised political tensions in Egypt to a fever pitch.
Khalil Hamra/AP
EnlargeThe Muslim Brotherhood?s Mohamed Morsi will be Egypt's first civilian president in a historic victory for an 84-year-old organization that was banned and oppressed under the former regime just a year and a half ago.

Morsi supporters in Tahrir Square erupted in wild cheers when election officials announced that Morsi won the race with 51.73 percent of the vote, narrowly beating his opponent Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, who was pushed from power during a popular uprising against his regime in February 2011. Outside the square, cars honked and Egyptians set off fireworks to celebrate their first freely elected president.
Yet the moment that should have ended Egypt?s tortuous transition from military rule to civilian government is bittersweet: the generals who have ruled Egypt since Mubarak?s ouster have limited the authority of the incoming president, and will hold significant influence after he takes office, setting the stage for a prolonged battle to bring about a true transition to civilian rule.
Timeline: Egypt's revolution
Morsi will assume Egypt?s top office June 30 as the president of a deeply divided nation. His supporters see his win over a Mubarak-era official as a victory for the uprising. Others worry Morsi will be more beholden to the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood than the Egyptian people, and that he will seek to implement Islamic law and limit individual freedoms. Yet it?s unclear how much influence he will be able to exert to accomplish any of his goals after a power grab by the military last week.
Military rules
After a court ruling nullified Egypt?s first freely elected parliament in more than five decades, leading to its dissolution, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) issued an amendment to Egypt?s interim constitution that limited the president?s power, gave the generals sole authority over all military matters, and gave the military council extensive control over the drafting of Egypt?s permanent constitution. The Brotherhood rejected the amendment and called large protests in Tahrir, giving the appearance of a confrontation with the military.
Yet the two sides were also talking behind closed doors, leading some to wonder whether the announcement today was the result of a deal. It had been delayed for three days, fueling rumors of negotiations. Two members of a coalition of revolutionary icons and secularists who announced their support for Morsi Friday said Brotherhood members told them the SCAF gave the Brotherhood an ultimatum last week: accept the constitutional declaration, or Morsi?s opponent Shafiq would be declared the winner. Whether the Brotherhood promised SCAF anything in exchange for being allow the presidency is a question on many minds here.
As he maneuvers for power against the military, Morsi, a bespectacled, American-educated engineer, will face nearly half a country skeptical of or openly hostile to his rule. A group of revolutionary leaders announced their support for him Friday in return for promises he was committed to a democratic civil state, and would appoint an inclusive government and a vice president not from the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). But many others still oppose the Muslim Brotherhood?s candidate.

HP Low-Energy Servers For Data Centers, Take Two
HP will launch servers that use a very small amount of power, based on an Intel Atom chip called Centerton, by the end of 2012, said Paul Santeler, VP and general manager of HP's Hyperscale business unit.
The compact Gemini servers will consume 6 watts of power, compared to the more typical 35 watts to 65 watts of current Intel Xeon servers, and that's down radically from what was a typical 100-watt to 150-watt server a short while ago, Intel spokesmen said. (Xeons adjusted for low power consumption use as little as 15 watts.)
Webcasts

More >>Reports
More >>The Centerton Atom architecture is Intel's low power consumption design for smart phones, tablets, and mobile healthcare devices. It differs from the ARM architecture, on which HP based a previous low-energy server design that used the 5-watt Calxeda chip. Unlike ARM, Atom can run Windows and other x86 software without requiring a recompile.
Gemini servers using Atom are a mass production design that will become generally available by the end of the year, said Santeler in a new conference on the design in San Francisco. It will be the first low-power server designed for use in data centers and by general computing users. HP is intent on getting into the market before demand has materialized because it wants to establish its proficiency at designing for low-power data centers, said Glenn Keels, director of marketing at the HP Hyperscale business unit, in an interview.
[ Want to learn more about HP's prior foray into low-power servers using Calxeda? See HP Plans Low-Power Servers Using Calxeda ARM Chips. ]
The Calxeda design, announced last November, was intended for "whales," or select customers placing large orders for thousands of servers, said Keels. Telecommunications, online gaming, analytics, and search companies can use low-power servers in large data centers to run applications that can do work through many parallel processes, he said.
Low-power servers fit into "scale-out" settings where more servers are added to run a single job or application as traffic increases, as opposed to enterprise financials or ERP applications, where many steps of a single application need to be executed in order.
Gemini servers are less likely to be virtualized than HP Proliant and other Xeon-based servers because customers would get less return for their investment in a virtualization software license than with a multi-core Xeon-server license, Santeler said in response to an InformationWeek question.
"That's not a target workload," said Santeler. The Gemini servers are more likely to be used in settings where users wanted a physical server dedicated to their job. Cloud service suppliers may offer un-virtualized, dedicated servers to customers for more private and secure operation at some point in the future based on the low-power servers. A Gemini server could be assigned to such a customer, without leaving a large percentage of the server idle or underutilized most of the time. Low-power servers tend to do less total work per server but several times more work per watt of electricity than standard Xeon servers.
This month, for example, Calxeda announced benchmark results using the Apache Software Foundation's ApacheBench test. The Calxeda EnergyCore ECX-1000 processor, with four cores running at 1.1 GHz, handled 5,500 Web server requests per second and consumed 5.26 watts in disposing of 1 million requests. An Xeon E3-1240, with four cores running at 3.3 GHz handled 6,950 requests per second and consumed 102 watts to dispose of the same requests. The Calxeda system took about 8% more time to do the job but was more efficient energy-wise by a factor of 15.
Jason Waxman, cloud infrastructure group general manager at Intel, joined Santeler in the briefing and said the Atom's server design was the first energy-saving server that could fit into the standard data center. It is 64-bit, as opposed to 32-bit designs used in mobile devices, and hyper-threaded, or capable of processing and tracking multiple application processing threads at a time.
Asked specifically about I/O, Santeler said he couldn't divulge any Gemini I/O details yet.
Santeler said low-energy servers have a different total cost of ownership profile than Xeon servers, and no pricing has been set on the prospective Gemini product line. But the pricing will have to be highly competitive to get customers to take on a new architecture. "It it's not fundamentally disruptive, nobody's going to adopt it," he said.
Gemini servers can be seen in HP Discover Labs and customers may test drive their applications on them. "We think Gemini will create radical disruption" in the overall server market, he added.
At this year's InformationWeek 500 Conference C-level execs will gather to discuss how they're rewriting the old IT rulebook and accelerating business execution. At the St. Regis Monarch Beach, Dana Point, Calif., Sept. 9-11.

Greece vote tempers threat of eurozone departure
Greece's New Democracy party, which favors meeting European Union bailout demands, won the largest percentage of votes and is preparing to form a coalition.?
A Greek man checks the voting lists at a center voting during the elections in Athens, Sunday, June 17, 2012. Greeks voted Sunday for the second time in six weeks in what was arguably their country's most critical election in 40 years, with the country's treasured place within the European Union's joint currency in the balance.
Petros Karadjias/AP
EnlargeMarket and European officials' fears eased somewhat after a party that favors meeting European Union demands for ongoing bailout money won the most seats in Greek parliamentary elections.
Skip to next paragraph' +

google_ads[0].line3 + '
The New Democracy party won 29.4 percent of the vote and seems best positioned to form a new government as the Greek electorate pulled back from the possibility of a eurozone departure and a return to the drachma. Investors have feared a Greek departure from the euro could deepen the economic woes in Spain and Italy and threaten the overall stability of the currency zone.
?There is now breathing space for the Greek political system to form a stable government, but it is hardly the end of the crisis,? says Charalambus Tsardanidis, director of the Institute of International Economic Relations in Athens. ?Our situation is unsustainable and the new government will try to meet demands..., but any real outcome requires an overall change in the eurozone approach.?
Center-right New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras is today urgently seeking a stable coalition able to negotiate with the EU. New Democracy, one of the two establishment parties that oversaw Greece's descent into penury over the past decade, will receive an additional 50 seats in parliament for having come in first.
But the vote also sets up hard questions and ongoing divides between Berlin and other eurozone capitals about how and to what extent to keep shoring up Greece. Officials in Athens hint that they want as much as an additional two years to regain their footing, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel today said the terms of Greek reform and payback should not be altered.?
Nor was the Greek vote decisive. The new far-left Syriza party that ran on rejecting the EU bailout deal came in with a 26.9 percent share, only three points behind Samaris?s party, showing a fractured political consensus.
The issue is on the docket for discussion at the Group of 20?meeting in Mexico starting today and will be discussed in a June 22 meeting between the leaders of Italy, France, Germany, and Spain. ?
?The elections are a signal that there won?t be any breakout of Greece from the euro. The ball is now in the European court to find a way to avoid a complete Greek bankruptcy,? says Philippe Waechter of Natixis Asset Management Group in Paris. ?You have to now negotiate a bailout plan to give oxygen to a Greek economy grasping for air, and after a strong showing by the Greek far-left party Syriza.?
The former ruling party of PASOK, headed until last fall by George Papandreou, announced today that it would join the coalition and support the bailout package, dropping its condition made in the last 48 hours that it would only join the coalition if the upstart Syriza also joined. PASOK?scored 13 percent in the elections.?
?Without PASOK, there will be no government,? says Mr. Tsardanidis.
Mr. Papandreou, the former prime minister, today called for a new "supplemental" growth package out of the EU that would add to but not change the bailout deal hammered out over the past year, and called for the creation of "eurobonds."
Since the spring of 2010, after revelations that Greece had been cooking its financial books and hiding deficits for years, the EU and the International Monetary Fund have given some $190 billion to Greece in aid, according to Thibault Mercier, economist at BNP Paribas, in Paris.
"Added to this,? says Mr. Mercier, is ?nearly 79 billion euros in loans from the [European Central Bank] to Greek banks and 49 billion lent directly by the ECB to the Bank of Greece, which makes almost 130 billion euros in loans towards the Greek banking sector."

Twister, flood alerts from D.C. area to Fla.
Tornado and flash flood alerts from the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas to as far south as Florida had residents keeping eyes on the skies and commuters trying to get home safely.
In Washington, D.C., some 11,000 utility customers had lost power, as had 5,000 in neighboring Prince George's County, Md.
Airports in Washington and Baltimore saw major disruptions starting late afternoon.
The Orange Line commuter train was suspended when a tree fell on the tracks during rush hour, NBC Washington reported.
The entire metro D.C. area was under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. ET.
Up to 4 inches of rain was expected in some areas, and minor street flooding caused some traffic disruptions.
In North Carolina, witnesses said they saw a tornado touch down a few miles outside Elizabeth City. No damage was reported.
Another tornado was reported in Westmoreland County, Pa., but details were not immediately available.
The Storm Prediction Center listed several dozen reports of severe wind and hail, some of which downed trees or caused light property damage.
Tornado alerts were also issued in parts of Florida, including St. Lucie County, earlier Friday. A flash flood watch is in effect in the Miami area , NBC Miami reported.
