AMD Engineering Manager is the New Palm Head of Linux Kernel
Mobile specialist Palm strengthens its team by hiring Matthew Tippett, the Linux graphic driver developer since 2003 at ATI, to be in charge of Linux kernel development.
According to the website Phoronix, the Australian born Tippett will start work at Smartphone manufacturer Palm in California starting in November. At AMD, Tippett was the definitive force behind Linux support and the release of AMD's Catalyst graphic technology. In addition, an updated Catalyst driver was released to go with Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
At Palm, Tippett is to bring out the Linux based Smartphone operating system WebOS. Palm last caused eyebrows to raise with their reaction to criticism on the restriction of their app catalogue. At the end of September, the British mobile phone manufacturer Palm last fleshed out their team in WebOS boot as Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer from Mozilla changed to Palm. The two brought the internet based Open Web movement with them to Palm which had provided for the initial posting of a web developer network.

Hi Rand, great fun. I knew about the Google+ benefit. Few days ago i read a good post about the benefit of Google+ sharing in search engine ranking. But few days later i read a post in moz.com that it is not true. Google + has not such effect in SERP. From then i was confused and stop working in Google plus. i was really looking for you what is you view. This video cleared all my doubts. I don't want to mention the post or author that said g+ not so effective. The guy actually sited few examples and data to justify his claim. That is why i was confused. Thank a lot.
First i like to thank Kristina for here valuable post. I liked the comparison between 2010 and 2013. I always try to follow Google guideline. Many time I got the positive result. But in few areas I am still confused, they are "Anchor text manipulation" and "Link building". I still have doubt which type of links Google gives value. Branding is a section where I worked a lot and got result. But Google's frequent algorithm changes gave me trouble. Friends do you support so frequent change?

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — A Town of Tonawanda man was arrested Saturday for driving while intoxicated after striking a pedestrian walking on a sidewalk, according to police.
Robert K. Sheehan of Huetter Avenue was arrested for second-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, DWI and driving a vehicle on the sidewalk.
The incident occurred near 1160 Tonawanda Street.
According to the police report, the pedestrian suffered a broken leg and told police Sheehan intentionally attempted to hit him. Sheehan, however, said the incident was accidental.
Sheehan was visibly intoxicated, according to police.
An investigation revealed the victim is dating Sheehan's female neighbor who periodically takes care of Sheehan. According to the neighbor, Sheehan decided he did not like her boyfriend and could have purposely drove on the sidewalk to hit her boyfriend.
Paramedics reported to the scene to treat the victim.
Sheehan was issued two vehicle and traffic summons.

NORMAN — A pulled pork dinner with all the fixin's and dessert is scheduled for 4-7 p.m. April 13 at the Curtis Inge Middle School cafeteria, 1201 N. 8th St. in Noble.
The event, sponsored by Hampton Noble Masonic Lodge #291 and Noble High's FFA group, will benefit the FFA booster club. Tickets are $5 at the door.
According to the Noble High School website, FFA is the student organization of the Agricultural Education Program, which provides many outside-of-the-classroom opportunities for students including livestock shows, public speaking, career development events, conventions, camps, conferences and other community chapter actives.
Hampton Noble Masonic Lodge will apply for matching funds through the Masonic Charities Matching Fund Program.
"The Hampton Noble Lodge loves to do fundraisers to help underprivileged kids so they don't feel discriminated against — they should have every opportunity all kids have," Kevin Huddleston, lodge member, said. "And being a member of the agricultural community and growing up in FFA and 4-H, I like it that we're helping to raise money for the ag department to help them. If we can raise money for the kids, we're going to do it."
Huddleston said the fundraiser will help kids who might otherwise not be able to afford it go to ag camp and other functions of the 4-H and ag programs.
For more information, call Huddleston at 464-4576.

Rushville Republican
---- — I have always suspected that all the consternation regarding global warming caused by man's use of fossil fuels was overstated. It just has never made sense that anything done by man could significantly alter the temperature of this massive planet. The belief that mankind could, through the use of fossil fuels, increase the temperature of the planet really overestimates, I believe, the influence of man. I have also suspected that the atmosphere surrounding the earth was so huge, for lack of a better term, that man's use of fossil fuels could easily be absorbed by the earth's atmosphere without changing its temperature at all. It would be like emptying a bottle of red ink in the ocean and expecting all the water to turn pink! The atmosphere is just too vast for anything man does to impact its natural cycles of warming and cooling.
Now there is some solid research to back up my speculations. Not long ago I read an article by Doug McKelway that appeared on FoxNews.com. Here's part of what McKelway wrote: "A peer-reviewed climate change study released...by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change finds the threat of man-made global warming to be not only exaggerated but so small as to be 'embedded within the background variability of the natural climate system and not dangerous."
The study, which is a 1,000 page document, was prepared by 47 scientists and scholars who examined most of the same journals and studies prepared by the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change and came up with entirely different conclusions. If this new study is correct, one has to ask what the economic consequences will be as a result of the recent increase in regulatory restrictions on the fossil fuel industry, which includes the use of coal, natural gas, and oil to produce energy. The study, according to the author, "...provides the scientific balance that is missing from the overly alarmist reports [that] are highly selective in their review of climate science."
In addition, a new United Nations report shows that "surface temperature increases have been statistically insignificant for the last 15 years, and that Antarctic sea ice is increasing, not decreasing. Furthermore, "new satellite measurements of Arctic sea ice show it has increased this year."
Those who contend that the earth is getting warming can whip out studies that support their point of view, but it's also clear that all sorts of studies can be developed with the intention of producing a desired result "because they support their political interests, not because they represent good science."
Well, imagine that! Who would have thought that the myth of global warming could produce a whole industry devoted to the restriction of the use of fossil fuels in favor of wind mills, alternate sources of renewable energy, and all sorts of novel schemes that, as far as I can tell, usually don't work. From a geopolitical standpoint, one has to wonder how much longer we're going to remain dependent on foreign oil when we have plenty of reserves right here in the United States - particularly in light of the fact that it's very clear that mankind isn't doing much of anything to harm the atmosphere.
Just to give an idea of how much "atmosphere" there is surrounding the earth, most scientists agree that it goes up 36,000 feet from the surface. Above that altitude the atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner to the point where scientists say "outer space" begins at about sixty-two miles above the earth's surface. So, how much atmosphere is there surrounding the earth? Expressed in cubic miles its 1,007,633,587 or stated another way, it's one billion seven million, six hundred and thirty three thousand, five hundred and eighty seven cubic miles. What's a cubic mile, you ask? A cubic mile is as the volume of a cube with sides of one mile in length. So, there are well over a billion cubic miles of atmosphere surrounding the earth. That's a lot of atmosphere!
More importantly, our atmosphere doesn't just sit around the earth. It's a dynamic and ever changing gaseous entity, the study points out, composed primarily of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, and .03% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. And as everybody knows, it is the movement of the atmosphere that gives us our weather patterns. Some days are rainy, some sunny, some windy, some a combination of various weather conditions, depending on the season of the year. Other factors also influence our weather, but with over a billion cubic miles of atmosphere, it only makes sense that there isn't much the human race can do to adversely affect anything that large! When one considers that the atmosphere also tends to cleanse itself as atmospheric circulation takes place throughout that one billion cubic miles, it makes it even more unlikely that anything mankind can do to pollute something that vast and that dynamic!
Does it make sense to avoid polluting the atmosphere? Sure it does, but it seems clear that man isn't doing any major damage to the atmosphere that should cause us to avoid using fossil fuels that are right beneath our feet. Protecting the atmosphere is obviously a worthwhile thing to do - as long as we don't let the effort become an excuse to support senseless political interests!
That's -30-for this week.

The whole Evergreen complex is a great asset to the community but the waterpark prices aren't even close to the non profit prices charged at a few other places around Oregon. They should have an in county price for locals to make it reasonable for a whole family to attend.
You can co-mingle the private land the non-profits businesses sit on and expect a tax break.
donate the land and all the planes to the non-profit company and then the issue takes care of itself. If you are really serious about this complex being a non profit then do that SIMPLE thing and then the IRS will get off your back. If yo don't do this then they will always see you as trying to play both sides of the fence and they WON'T ease up on you.
I wish you the best of luck as the Museum and the waterpark are great assets and we would all hate to lose them in a dumb fight over who's attorneys are smarter....the feds almost always win that battle.
Best of Luck for all our benefit.

Gary D'Amato offers news and insights, from the latest on Wisconsin tournaments and players to new technology, courses and instruction
Marquette 5th in 26-team Wendy's Kiawah Classic
Freshman Pat Sanchez closed with a 3-under-par 68 to help Marquette University's men's golf team climb six spots to a fifth-place finish in the 26-team Wendy's Kiawah Classic on the Turtle Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island (S.C.) Resort.
The Golden Eagles shot a team low-round 290 on the final day of the 54-hole tournament to finish at 896. Marquette finished six strokes ahead of Wisconsin (seventh at 902) and beat fellow Big East schools St. John's (10th at 906) and Connecticut (14th at 915).
Sanchez became the first MU golfer in five events this fall to shoot in the 60s. He tied for 19th place along with teammate Corey Konieczki at 9-over 222. Konieczki, a junior, matched his opening-round score with a 72, while freshman Nick Nelson fired an even-par 71 and finished tied for 33rd.
South Carolina won the team title with a score of 859.
The tournament concluded the fall season for the Golden Eagles, who open their 2013 spring season Feb. 11-12 at The Match Play Championship at Reunion Resort just outside of Kissimmee, Fla.

This light is being used in a commerical bank, and we are really happy about the design, the quality, and size of the light.
By:Nicole F. , Renter (El Segundo, CA)
If you are planning to use this light over your kitchen counter top, forget it. The max voltage is 25W and is really dim and you wouldn't be able to see what you are cutting.
By:Jan , Homeowner (New York City)
By:Diana W. , Homeowner (new york, ny)
The piece itself is very attractive. The lighting is not too bright.
By:Thomas , Designer (NYC )
The fixture is stunning. It offers clean lines while retaining a handmade quality. The outside is understated and simple--a smooth spun metal finished in satin/matte black. The interior is finished of a brilliant hammered brass--offering both texture and warmth. The fixture produces a light glow that soft and enchanting.
Overall the fixture is great for accent lighting but I would not recommend it for tasks as it does not give off much light.
In my projects, I have used this fixture above kitchen islands in a grouped configuration.
By:GDP , Designer (Orlando, FL, USA)
This is a great pendant. It is so striking it actually demands you to look at it. It works in several different settings and helps get away from the over used Edison bulb look.
By:Michael E. , Designer (Harlem, NY)
This is such a cool light. I bought two for over my island and they don't put out the most light in the world but they are very moody.
By:John P. , Homeowner (Nyc)
We specified the three different models for a project and they look amazing!
Fast shipping
By:Soraya P. , Designer (manhattan)
Great lines, great look. Really like the product and line.
By:Mark H. , Homeowner (Salem, OR)
Great line. Was the perfect compliment to our new kitchen.

Implants are fast becoming the standard of care for an edentulous area in the mouth. Whether being used for full mouth restorations or a single tooth replacement, implants are now much more accessible than even five years ago. With that access, comes an increased demand. One of the newer concepts being tested is the use of a single implant to support a mandibular overdenture, a single implant overdenture(SIO). Traditionally, an overdenture has been the use of two or more mandibular implants, but with the increased demand for a better "denture," a more cost effective treatment with a single implant could instantly change a patient's lifestyle. A comprehensive review of current literature will help provide an answer to the effectiveness of this treatment plan.
When patients are left edentulated, maintaining a normal diet may not be possible due to the mobility of the mandibular complete denture. [1] When teeth are not present on the alveolar ridge, the ridge will continue to lose height, destabilizing of the complete denture even more. Combined with the perioral musculature and the tongue, keeping the denture in place is near impossible, leading to difficulty eating, sores, and trauma. 1Endosseous implants allow for stable complete dentures that help many patients return to a normal lifestyle. 1 Traditionally, two or more implants were placed for reconstruction. Many considerations are needed prior to deciding the number of implants including health of the patient, attention to oral hygiene, natural anatomy, past dental history, goals, and finances. When all this is taken into mind and a proper treatment plan is formulated, a successful restoration can be made. Currently, two mandibular implants are basically the standard of care for mandibular complete dentures. The two main concerns are: 1) do implants provide a lasting restoration? and 2) do they help patients with their lifestyle? The literature already backs the lifetime of implants with the 2005 study by Dr. Devorah Schwartz-Arad. This found implant survival rates to be 96.1% (11/285 implants did not survive) and a total 10-year cumulative survival rate was 95.4% (maxilla, 83.5%, mandible, 99.5%). The success rate was 70.4% (maxilla, 41.9%; mandible, 80.8%) when using Albrektsson et al.[2]success criteria. The science proves that implants are a long term solution to this problem when loaded with the dentures. Implant supported dentures also have a positive psychological effect as seen in the Emami[3] research paper. In this study, an examination of published efficacy of mandibular implant dentures was reviewed. Though the study stated that more evidence was needed, there was a generalized increase in patient happiness with implant supported overdentures. [4]
As mentioned earlier, the two implant overdenture for the mandible is the most common overdenture. Bilateral mandibular implants provide a cheap and relatively simple solution to the mobility of complete dentures. There is statistical superiority of the implant overdenture to the conventional denture.[5] The soft tissue response showed a slight but significant improvement with implant overdenture therapy.4Most educational institutions offer them at a subsidized cost to provide patients a great restoration and practitioners to learn more about placement and restoration. The theory is to provide retentive elements on both sides of the ridge. The denture would be mainly supported by the tissue but the implants would prevent the denture from displacement. The placement would often be the location of the mandibular canines, but anatomy and the denture itself would drive the implant placement. Also, patients and practitioners should consider if this is the initial treatment plan and more implants would be placed later on.1
Even though this is a perfectly acceptable treatment plan, not all patients can go through with this process. Patients may have defects on the ridges preventing symmetrical placement of the implants or finances can be an issue. Implant costs range from 300-5000USD depending who is placing the implant, where it is being placed, and what type of implant is being used. This does not include any other complications such as bone grafts, sinus lifts, etc. On top of that, a patient would require two implants. Single implant overdentures could be the solution to these problems. As explained earlier, the basic concept with implant overdentures is increased retention of the actual denture. Primary support still would be tissue borne, but displacement from various masticatory forces would be prevented. One in vitro study performed on mandibular models showed that the lateral forces applied to one implant versus two implant supported prosthesis showed similar outcomes, though the attachment to the denture was specific.[6] Studies have shown that the single implant system, in general, is a safe and reliable method of treatment.[7],[8],[9],[10], 11
El-Sheikh et al. 6published in 2010 discussed one stage surgery with early prosthetic loading of a single implant. This study included twenty edentulous patients with problematic mandibular dentures. The implant was placed at the mandibular midline and patients were recalled at 3, 6 and 12 months. Clinical assessments and marginal bone loss using standardized radiographs were recorded. At the end of the recall, the twenty early loaded implants all survived. All implants showed less than 1 mm of marginal bone loss by the end of the 1-year with a significant increase during the follow-up period. Few prosthetic problems were reported. Patient satisfaction was high with a significant increase in all comfort and functional parameters.6
Cordioli, G., Z. Majzoub, and S. Castagna 7examined what the minimum number of implants required for overdentures are and found that one implant can be an acceptable alternative for conventional dentures. In this study, twenty-one patients, average age of 74.2 years, had one implant placed at the mandibular midline. A five year follow up revealed not a single failed implant. Mean marginal bone loss of the implants was found to be 1.42 ± 0.56 mm with an average pocket depth of 2.41 ± 0.17 mm. The primary issue to be found was a consistently high plaque index, though the tissues themselves had a low gingival index.7
Liddelow, G., and P. Henry in Australia went even further, testing immediate loading of a single implant. 9 This article defined immediate loading as single stage surgery with denture attachment at the same time. Twenty-eight patients at a mean age of 69.8 years had this treatment completed. All implants were placed with primary stability and restored with a ball attachment. Recall was at 3 and 12 months. Of the original twenty-eight, three were unable to be treated immediately due to lack of primary stability. These were treated with a two stage loading protocol. The other twenty-five all survived at the 12 month recall. 9
Finally, a 2010 study placed a single implant into thirty-six edentulous participants. Though the focus of this study was the attachment type from the implant to the denture, a high success rate for the implant itself showed the effectiveness of this treatment. [11]
In all of these studies, patients found greater satisfactionwith a SIO compared to a conventional complete mandibular denture. But, this only presents half of the concept. The other side is the attachments to the denture. There are a wide variety of types ranging from balls, magnets, and locators. These range in size and diameter. Alsabeeha et al. found that the highest retentive force (36.97+/-2.23 N) was achieved with the 7.9-mm prototype ball attachment design, followed in a decreasing order by the 5.9-mm prototype ball attachment design (32.06+/-2.59 N), the standard 2.25-mm ball attachment (17.32+/-3.68 N), Locator white (12.39+/-0.55 N), Locator pink (9.40 N+/-0.74 N), and Locator blue (3.83+/-0.64 N). [12]Maeda, Y., Horisaka, M. and Yagi, K found that single-implant overdentures with dome-type magnet or ball attachments had biomechanical effects similar to two-implant overdentures in terms of lateral forces to the abutment and denture base movements under molar functional loads in vitro. 8 These two studies found that in general, ball attachments provide the greatest retention with SIOs and that the larger the dimension of the attachment, the greater the retentive forces.
Overall, the studies provide a very positive view on single implant overdentures. This is still a relatively new concept and much more research is required on the subject. Alsabeeha[13] found that there is a lack of published randomized clinical trials using mandibular single-implant overdentures, opposing maxillary complete dentures. The article also stated that without the evidence from randomized clinical trials, routine use of this novel approach cannot be recommended, compared with using regular diameter implants and matching attachment systems. This should not dishearten dentists, but merely advocate that more research and trials are needed to find if this is a suitable alternative. 12

|MacArthur grants go to nonprofits in five countries
|| Print |
|Written by CARLA K. JOHNSON, Associated Press
|Thursday, 28 February 2013 07:30
CHICAGO (AP) — A group that fights in India's courts for the rights of pregnant slum-dwelling women, an organization that helps struggling immigrants in Mexico and a project that prevents foreclosures in southwest Chicago are among 13 winners of the 2013 MacArthur Foundation grants for nonprofit organizations.
The awards of $500,000 to $1.5 million announced Thursday recognize the groups' importance and impact, said MacArthur President Robert Gallucci, "and we hope our investment will help ensure that they continue to thrive and to increase their reach in the future."
This year's awards go to groups in the United States, Kenya, India, Mexico and Ecuador.
The Chicago-based foundation doesn't accept nominations for its biggest awards to nonprofits. Instead, organizations that have previously received MacArthur support are considered if they've reached a crucial point in their development, shown strong leadership and achieved stable financial management. In addition, the awards honor exceptional creativity and effectiveness.
Leaders of the Southwest Organizing Project in Chicago learned in June that they were under consideration when a MacArthur Foundation staff member visited the group's cramped office and made the surprise announcement.
"We were all very quiet and kind of startled and thought it was wonderful," said Jeff Bartow, the group's executive director. The project will use part of its $750,000 award to move to a new office in one of the neighborhoods where the group is rehabbing vacant homes and helping families become homeowners.
Subprime mortgage lenders targeted the city's southwest side before the housing crisis, leaving a trail of foreclosures and vacant properties, Bartow said. The Southwest Organizing Project works with churches, parents and community groups to prevent foreclosures and gun violence. The annual budget of the 17-year-old organization is roughly $1.5 million, Bartow said.
"Home ownership is still important to families because it remains the single best way to build financial stability in the United States," said David McDowell, a senior organizer with the group.
Mexico City-based Sin Fronteras will use its $500,000 MacArthur Award to purchase permanent office space. The group works for the rights of migrants and refugees who come to Mexico in search of a better life.
Another winner, the New Delhi-based Socio Legal Information Centre, provides free legal help to India's poor with a focus on health care for women. The organization plans to use its $750,000 award to buy an office for its reproductive rights unit, to build a reserve fund and to provide health insurance for its staff.
"I can't believe how pregnant and lactating mothers are treated in this country," said Dr. Colin Gonsalves, director of the center, speaking on a video on the MacArthur Foundation's website. "I think it's part of the general culture of neglect and disregard for the poor. And when you come to poor women they are on a much lower rung. And when you come to poor women who are vulnerable, who are pregnant, then I suppose they get the worst treatment of them all."
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is a private, independent group that hands out about $230 million in grants annually. It's known for its so-called "genius grants," $500,000 no-strings-attached fellowships that have gone to hundreds of people since 1981.

Kelli Groves, the San Juan Capistrano teacher whose car dangled off a Santa Barbara bridge for hours in a January rescue that made headlines around the world, spoke for the first time publicly Tuesday on "Today."
"I could not see either one of them," Groves said of her two daughters, ages 10 and 10 weeks, who were also trapped in the borrowed BMW, hardly recognizable as it clung to a guardrail, more off than on the bridge.
Watch the video here.
Groves is a teacher at , where her daughter Sage also attends. She was on maternity leave after having Mylo. The threesome was headed to visit the mission at San Luis Obispo for Sage's fourth-grade mission project.
That's when suddenly, just south of Buellton, a driver of a big rig did not turn with the curvature of the road. Instead, he drove through the back of Groves' car, and freefell to the creek 50 feet below. Driver Charles Allison Jr. died in the crash. Investigators later blamed him for the crash after finding methamphetamine in his body.
Read more about the Kelli Groves crash:
"I could reach my arm back, and I could feel Mylo's head. And as I brought my hand back, I noticed she was bleeding pretty badly from her head. But I couldn't see her face. I could hear her crying a little bit. Sage is the one that I had no idea where she was in the car," Groves said, according to a transcript provided by MSNBC.
Groves yelled for Sage.
"I said, Sage, Sage, you've been in an accident," she told Today. "I couldn't see where she had been in the car. I thought for a minute maybe she'd been thrown out."
Then she saw it. A tuft of Sage's hair. She desperately tried to reach her, her hand navigating the twisted path created by mangled metal.
"I started patting her head calling out to her. 'Sage, Sage, answer me!' And she wouldn't answer me, and she wasn't moving," Groves said. "I had no idea what shape the rest of her body was in. All I could see was that little circle of her head."
The story of the miracles that followed have become almost legendary. A tow truck driver who was driving a bit behind and had watched the accident unfold stopped to help. He eventually winched the car to his truck.
Firefighters from around the county were meeting nearby, instead of being long off. They were on the scene in minutes.
And most famously, a group of Navy Seabees were caught up in the ensuing traffic with the exact tool rescuers needed, a heavy-duty forklift that stabilized the car from a neighboring bridge about 10 feet away.
Throughout it all, one Santa Barbara County firefighter in particular, Greg Knuckles, was her "rock," Groves told interviewers.
"It was someone I could communicate with directly. As he would walk away, I would find myself saying, 'Where's Greg? Where's Greg? He just -- he just reminded me of why I -- what I needed to do, and that was to save my girls," she said.
Firefighters pulled them out one by one, first Mylo, who had one scratch, Sage, who is still recovering from her injuries, and Kelli, who is also still on the mend. Groves said she has never had a chance to thank her saviors in person.
That's when the Today crew pulled a surprise. They brought in Knuckles and California Highway Patrol Sgt. Matt Mullen.
"Thank you. Thank you," Groves said, overcome with emotion, tears welling and hugs abounding.
Asked what it's like to see photos of the rescue, Groves said: "It's still surreal to me that we're sitting here, and that was us in that car. It was terror at first, and then it fades to just relief. Huge amount of relief and gratitude, and it's hard to watch, but at the same time, it really happened. It's what we're taking with our lives and moving forward."
