NVIDIA Releases Yet Another Linux Driver
In the past week we've seen the NVIDIA 177.67 binary driver for Linux which was outdone by the NVIDIA 177.68 driver just two days later. The 177.70 Beta driver was then released this morning with fixes and other enhancements since the 177.68 driver. Yesterday we had also seen the release of the xf86-video-nv 2.1.11 driver that added support for a few more chips and fixed a couple of bugs. the xf86-video-nv driver is NVIDIA's open-source X.Org driver thats limited to 2D support and its code-base is obfuscated, which renders this code mostly useless. However, today they have issued a new xf86-video-nv release.

NVIDIA 177.70 Beta Linux Driver
Last week NVIDIA had released the NVIDIA 177.67 driver and then immediately following that was the NVIDIA 177.68 driver and now today marks the release of the NVIDIA 177.70 driver. Like the two former releases, the 177.70 release is another beta driver.

NVIDIA Releases OSS Driver Update
While NVIDIA's NVISION 3D conference is taking place this week, we have yet to hear anything in regards to Linux announcements. However, NVIDIA has updated its open-source driver. Sadly though, their open-source driver is still the xf86-video-nv driver with its 2D limitations and obfuscated code. The xf86-video-nv 2.1.11 release has its hardware cursor initialization code rearranged, ROP bug-fixes for the G80 series, logging the i2c G80 port number, fix some warnings, a pixel clock setting fix, and adding in more and missing chip names. The release announcement for xf86-video-nv 2.1.11 can be read on the X.Org mailing list.

NVIDIA's OpenGL 3.0 Linux Driver?
Last week OpenGL 3.0 and GLSL 1.30 were released during SIGGRAPH 2008. In that article we expected NVIDIA would be first to provide an OpenGL 3.0 driver due to NVIDIA's involvement with the Khronos Group and their much rumored "Big Bang II" project, but we had no official comment from them at the time of publishing. Though we now have a response from NVIDIA.

NVIDIA Launches 9500GT ($100) GPU
While NVIDIA's newest GPU family is the GTX 200 series, they aren't yet introducing the GTX low-end models but are continuing to mature the GeForce 9 arsenal. Introduced this morning by NVIDIA Corporation was the GeForce 9500GT, which is a sub-$100 product.

NVIDIA Updates Its Legacy Linux Drivers
If you're using an older NVIDIA graphics card and haven't yet turned to the reverse-engineered Nouveau driver, you may want to check out the latest NVIDIA legacy drivers. NVIDIA has updated its two oldest legacy drivers -- the 71.xx.xx and 96.xx.xx series -- for Linux. The new 71.86.06 driver for Linux fixes a bug that resulted in black-and-white video output on secondary TVs. The other new driver, 96.43.07, has this TV fix too along with improved nvidia-xconfig parsing when using a xorg.conf file that lacks a module section. Both of these new drivers also have support for the Linux 2.6.26 kernel. The NVIDIA 71.86.06 and 96.43.07 Linux drivers can be downloaded from here and here, respectively.

NVIDIA Makes A Trivial OSS Driver Update
It's been seven weeks since the obfuscated xf86-video-nv driver was last updated, so this afternoon NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner decided to release version 2.1.10, which will be in time for X.Org 7.4. However, before getting excited that they may actually be doing something good with this open-source driver, it continues to be limited to 2D acceleration and of limited use to someone that just laid down several hundred dollars for a graphics card or two.

NVIDIA Denies Opening Up Its Driver
Yesterday we reported on the Linux Foundation's message they have issued on the behalf of more than 140 kernel developers: Binary-only kernel modules are harmful and undesirable. While no vendor was singled out in this message, the biggest hardware manufacturer that has yet to provide any real level of open-source support is NVIDIA Corporation.

NVIDIA 173.14.09 / 177.13 Driver
NVIDIA has released the 173.14.09 binary display driver. However, support for the GeForce GTX 200 series is not part of the change-log, unfortunately. This driver is just a bug-fix release for the recently released 173.14.05. Though this driver does have the following fixes: aliased font rendering corruption on X.Org Server 1.5, display corruption problem driving two dual-link DFPs with the Quadro FX 1700, a regression that prevented the X driver from starting on some GeForce FX/6/7 series, and fixing a locale-interaction issue in the nvidia-settings parser. In addition, this release also has preliminary support for the Linux 2.6.26 kernel. To download the x86 and x86_64 NVIDIA Linux drivers, click here and here, respectively.

2D-Only Open-Source GTX 260/280 Support
This morning NVIDIA had unveiled the GeForce GTX 200 series and already NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has committed support for these cards to the open-source xf86-video-nv driver. This support just involved adding in two new PCI IDs for the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280. No other work was needed, since of course this driver is limited to mode-setting and 2D acceleration. Though if you've just shelled out $399 or $649 on a graphics card, changes are you will want to stay clear of this obfuscated driver. If you want to check out this driver, you'll need to obtain it from git on FreeDesktop.org.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce GTX 200 GPUs
As expected, today NVIDIA unveiled their GeForce GTX 200 family of graphics processors. At this time their family is a bit small with only the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 being shown off, but the GTX family should grown soon. These GTX GPUs support CUDA (with PhysX support), second generation NVIDIA unified architecture, 3-way SLI Technology, and PureVideo HD. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 is made up of 192 processing cores, 576MHz core clock, 999MHz memory clock for its 896MB GDDR3 memory on a 448-bit interface. The fastest GTX processor right now, the GTX 280, has 240 processing cores, 602MHz core clock, 1107MHz memory clock for its 1GB GDDR3 memory on a 512-bit interface. Right now there is no NVIDIA Linux driver to support these next-generation GPUs, but once there is we'll let you know along with providing a performance run-down and other analysis. The GTX 260 costs $399 USD while the GeForce GTX 280 will set you back $649.

GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs On Linux
This past week NVIDIA had unveiled the GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs at the Computex Taipei trade-show. The GeForce 9M GPUs were announced just before AMD had rolled out its Puma platform with the fastest ATI mobile graphics ever and the introduction of XGP, which is a PCI Express 2.0 technology for allowing external graphics cards to be used with this new notebook platform.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs
From Computex Taipei, NVIDIA has announced the GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs. NVIDIA claims these next-generation mobile GPUs are 40% faster than their current GeForce 8 mobile processors and 10x faster than IGPs. These low-power GPUs also support PureVideo HD with full support for Blu-ray. When it comes to connectors, these GPUs are designed for NVIDIA's new MXM v3.0 module specification and from the outside they can support DVI, HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort 1.1, and analog VGA connections.

NVIDIA Introduces Tegra Processors
Following the introduction of Intel's Atom MID (Mobile Internet Device) processor family as part of the Menlow platform, VIA had introduced the Nano Processor Family just last week. Today at Computex Taipei, NVIDIA has announced their own mobile processor. NVIDIA's family of mobile processors is called Tegra and is currently made up of the Tegra 650 and Tegra APX 2500, which are planned for use with Windows smart-phones. The Tegra computer-on-a-chip architecture is made up of an 800MHz ARM CPU, HD video processor, and ultra low-power (and low-end) GeForce GPU. More information can be found in the NVIDIA Tegra Press Release.

NVIDIA Releases Gelato Pro For Free
In addition to NVIDIA releasing the 173.14.05 Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris driver this past week, they've made an additional software move. NVIDIA has decided to release Gelato Pro, which previously costed $1,500 USD per node, as now a free download. Gelato Pro is rendering software developed (originally the Blue Moon Rendering Tools and Entropy software before a 2002 acquisition by NVIDIA) that allows for advanced acceleration on NVIDIA (specifically the Quadro series) GPUs. There has been a Gelato non-Pro edition of this software capable of rendering film-quality images that has been available for a free download, but now the professional edition is also free. The caveat for making this free, however, is that NVIDIA no longer plans to maintain the Gelato software. They have discontinued all work on the Gelato software and will be focusing their resources on mental ray software.

NVIDIA Releases Updated OSS Driver
As a late Friday night release, NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has announced xf86-video-nv 2.1.9. Back in March the xf86-video-nv 2.1.8 driver was released with initial support for the GeForce 9600GT and today's release improves the G80 support as well as fixing some startup bugs, sorting the supported devices table, adding an option to allow validation of dual-link DVI modes, and a few other minor changes. This announcement can be read on the xorg mailing list.

OpenTheBlob.com Gets 9,000 Signatures
When OpenTheBlob.com started in late February, within one week of its launch it already had 5,000 signatures and days later it passed the 6,000 and 7,000 marks too. This letter was an open letter to NVIDIA looking for more information on their open-source strategy. While things have slowed down, this past week it crossed the point of having 9,000 signatures!

Fallout From NVIDIA 173.08 Driver

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 On Linux?
Back in January AMD had introduced the Radeon HD 3870 X2 and this morning NVIDIA has counter-attacked them by unleashing the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2. The GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card is made up of two GeForce G9x 65nm GPUs with each one being clocked at 600MHz and each having 128 stream processors and 512MB of 1GHz GDDR3 memory. These two GPUs are on the same PCB and connected via Scalable Link Interface. Early Windows benchmarks show the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 slaughtering the Radeon HD 3870 X2, but AMD's dual-GPU offering is priced much lower.

Confidence In An Open NVIDIA Strategy?
Back during CES 2008 we reported that NVIDIA may be plotting an open-source strategy (according to a NVIDIA partner) as the ATI/AMD camp has been on a spree with releasing NDA-free specifications to the OSS community and supporting two open source drivers (Radeon and RadeonHD). Since then, Intel has also joined this open bandwagon by releasing the G965/G35 programming documentation in full (2D, 3D, video, everything) even though they have already have a reliable open-source driver.

Company is not authorized to sell products by phone or internet offer
Empresa não tem autorização para vender produtos nem oferecer telefone por internet
Disclosure Picture Site explains operating system
The Telexfree business of selling packages of internet telephony (VoIP, its acronym in English), is not sustainable and suggests a Ponzi scheme, which is a crime against the popular economy. That is the conclusion of the Secretariat for Economic Monitoring of the Ministry of Finance (Seae / MF) in a statement on Thursday (14).
The court further stated that the company responsible for the business Ympactus Comercial LTDA., Has partnerships with mobile operators or fixed, which would be necessary to ensure the provision of VoIP services, nor authorization to practice trading activities.
Presented as a VoIP phone system sold through multilevel marketing – where each seller wins by vendors to attract more business – the Telexfree is under suspicion of being a pyramid scheme, and is investigated by the Ministries of Justice and Finance and by prosecutors of Acre, Pernambuco, Bahia, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo.
The business and the company came under investigation by the Ministries of Justice and Finance. Until last Tuesday (12), the very Seae was the theme as a complaint on the capture of savings. The agency was already aware of the complaints against Telexfree Procons of Acre and Pernambuco and the ministries of public Acre and Mato Grosso.
According to the agency, there is evidence of two irregularities: stimulate the informal economy, because "the most substantial financial gains do not come the ads, but the entry of new publishers on the network's original publisher (…) If there is no entry of new stakeholders, it is impossible to get the advertised gains, indicating, unless contrary interpretation, the lack of sustainability of the business. "Moreover, the document mentions that the company requires the exercise of two activities, publisher and marketer, for receiving only one.
Brazil Agency Check if the PF depends on the minister Cardozo
The conclusions of the analysis by the secretariat will be forwarded to the Federal Police (PF) and the Federal Public Ministry (MPF). According to PF, until the late afternoon of Thursday the document was not formally received. The advisory infoma that the Inspector evaluates the case law treats similar cases as embezzlement, which would remove the Federal Police about the assignment Telexfree. However, there is possibility of the Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo determine initiation of investigation because of possible complications and the number of people affected.
- Read the full opinion of the Treasury
Lawyer refutes allegations
The company's lawyer, Horst Fuchs, refutes the conclusions of Seae. About the sustainability of the business, says that "the prices of VoIP accounts now embeds the remuneration to advisers" and that "no offer high gain and fast."
"The payment of commissions is proportional to sales of VoIP packets, being 1-2% of the total price of the package," said the IG.
On the allegation that the company has no authorization to conduct trade, Fuchs says the Ympactus "trade not practice once the product is delivered by VoIP Telexfree U.S.", where the company has an operational base. The lawyer also says that it is not necessary partnership with telecom operators in Brazil because this contract exists in that country.
- Read the statement below to Telexfree:
Clarifies the YMPACTUS COMERCIAL LTDA, because of NOTE OF CLARIFICATION on the activities of TELEXFREE recorded by the Secretariat for Economic Monitoring of the Ministry of Finance (EEAS / MF) the following points:
One. It was confirmed that the TelexFREE does not capture early and, for this reason is not required to obtain the permission of that Department;
2nd. The TelexFREE not practice the sale of goods or services, which is why you do not need to obtain permission from trading activities; delivery of VoIP accounts is done directly by TelexFREE U.S. consumers wherever they are, in other words, is that occurs in that country or countries the provision of VoIP services
3rd. How to perform the services is performed in the United States from Internet access, users who purchase the accounts is that they must hire your individual Internet service; addition, hiring carrier is also effected by providing the service, it is by U.S. TelexFREE
4th. There is no incentive for the informal economy, since the income they get is a publicist informed directly to the Internal Revenue Service as personal income and is taxed as well, withholding and payment due in accordance with the table itself Ministry of Finance; activities that the publisher held back only for packages that plan to resell acquired and thus to accept the general terms of the contract, the promoter is fully aware of their actions and how to receive it.
5th. The value of the subsidies are in exact proportion to the services performs the publisher and can not be configured as excessive as the General Regulation establishes the percentage whose value is already built into the total cost of the VoIP accounts offered.
O negócio Telexfree, de venda de pacotes de telefonia pela internet (VoIP, na sigla em inglês), não é sustentável e sugere um esquema de pirâmide financeira, o que é crime contra a economia popular. Essa é a conclusão da Secretaria de Acompanhamento Econômico do Ministério da Fazenda (Seae/MF) em comunicado divulgado nesta quinta-feira (14).
O órgão afirma ainda que a empresa responsável pelo negócio a Ympactus Comercial LTDA., não tem parcerias com operadoras de telefonia móvel ou fixa, o que seria necessário para garantir a oferta dos serviços de VoIP, nem autorização para praticar atividades de comércio.
Apresentado como um sistema de telefonia VoIP vendido por meio de marketing multinível – em que cada vendedor ganha por atrair mais vendedores para o negócio – o Telexfree está sob suspeita de ser um esquema de pirâmide, e é investigado pelos ministérios da Justiça e da Fazenda e pelos ministérios públicos de Acre, Pernambuco, Bahia, Mato Grosso, Espírito Santo e Minas Gerais.
O negócio e a empresa vinham sendo investigados pelos ministérios da Justiça e da Fazenda. Até a última terça-feira (12), a própria Seae tratava o tema como denúncia relativa à captação de poupança popular. O órgão já tinha conhecimento de reclamações contra o Telexfree dos Procons de Acre e Pernambuco e dos ministérios públicos de Acre e Mato Grosso.
De acordo com o órgão, há indícios de duas irregularidades: estímulo à economia informal, porque "os ganhos financeiros mais substantivos não advêm dos anúncios, mas sim do ingresso de novos divulgadores na rede do divulgador inicial (…) Se não houver o ingresso de novos interessados, é impossível obter os ganhos anunciados, indicando, salvo interpretação contrária, a falta de sustentabilidade do negócio." Além disso, o documento cita que a empresa exige exercício de duas atividades, divulgador e comerciante, para o recebimento de apenas uma.

My question is related to multithreading lock-free synchronization. I wanted to know the following:
What are general approaches to achieve this? I read somewhere about LockFreePrimitives like CompareAndExchange (CAS) or DoubleCompareAndExchange (DCA) but no explanation for those were given? Any approaches to MINIMIZE use of locks?
How does Java/.NET achieve their concurrent containers? Do they use locks or lock-free synch?
Thanks in advance.

Looking for someone to make me think and for fun.
I'm someone who's learning more about herself everyday and is growing as a person. I have a strong personality, very compassionate and kind. My heart is open and loving. I'm a creative person that isn't satisfied with a plain life, only works a "plain job" cause I have to pay bills like everyone else. I like conversation and a good argument from time to time. Family time is important but also is time away from them! Ha! I like being quiet, and then sometimes overly loud! My humor is hit or miss, some times my jokes are dead on but for the most part they're so bad or corny that you can't help but laugh. I'm a very low-key person. If you're a player or looking for a one-night-stand, stop here cause that's not what I'm here for. Move along! Have a nice day I'm looking for someone who makes me think. Who likes the same things that I do but also has different interest then me. Who has a creative nature. Loves to laugh and be silly but will be practical and down to earth.A person that can relax and play videos games from time to time. Someone who's 'ok' with staying in and relaxing but also wants to go out and have fun too. Someone who wants to explore who they are inside and out and is curious about the world and beyond it. Someone that wants to do new things. Someone who's not afraid of what other's label "taboo" . That likes music and long conversation. I'm not one for the bar or club scene, and I'm not a huge sports fan ( but not opposed to sports!). The rest you can learn when we talk
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Video games

The healing effects of total silence
Florence Waters, The Telegraph: A week without noise in Ibiza proves a meditation revelation for Florence Waters.
I remember the first time a friend confessed he was going on a silent meditation retreat: no talking, Wi-Fi, books, phones or pens for what sounded like a very long week.
Though a little curious, I was embarrassed enough to change the subject immediately. Perhaps this is how people felt in the Nineties when someone disclosed they were having therapy. But when I saw him afterwards he was clearly moved by the experience; "I can't really explain, you've just got to do it," he ventured. "I …

Exploring your past is a prerequisite for true mindfulness
John and Elaine Leadem, PsychCentral: Mindfulness. It means living in the moment. By now, most of us are well aware of the great emotional and spiritual promises of living mindfully. It is believed to lower high blood pressure, heal trauma, and enhance our problem-solving abilities. Studies show that mindful people may be happier.
Many traditional philosophies however, stress the importance of purposefully going back in time and exploring our past experiences. We revisit where we have been and how we have become the people we are. Those of us who are members of 12 Step recovery groups are asked to complete a comprehensive 4th …

Reaching out for compassion
At a weekend workshop I led, one of the participants, Marian, shared her story about the shame and guilt that had tortured her. Marian's daughter Christy, in recovery for alcoholism, had asked her mother to join her in therapy. As their sessions unfolded, Christy revealed that she'd been sexually abused throughout her teen years by her stepfather, Marian's second husband.
The words and revelations Marian heard that day pierced her heart. "You just slept through my whole adolescence!" her daughter had shouted. "I was being violated and had nowhere to turn! No one was there to take care of me!" Christy's face was red; her hands clenched tight. "I was … Read more »

Enjoy the freedom not to…
We're pulled and prodded by financial pressures, commuter traffic, corporate policies, technology, advertising, politics, and the people we work with and live with. Also, internal forces yank the proverbial chains, including emotional reactions, compelling desires, "shoulds," and internalized "voices" from parents and other authority figures.
Sometimes these pressures are necessary, like a flashing light on your car's dashboard telling you to get gas. Even a broken clock is right two times a day.
But on the whole these pressures are stressful and breed a sense of helplessness. Plus, a lot of the internal forces come from childhood, irrational fears, unfair self-criticism, ancient tendencies in the brain (e.g., its negativity bias), … Read more »

Belize Coast Guard Service
|This article has an unclear citation style. (September 2009)
The Belize Coast Guard Service was established in November 2005 with the assistance of the United States Coast Guard.
Its missions include internal security, search and rescue, hurricane preparation, and disaster relief. Its commander, Brigadier General Cedric Borland, also noted a key mission is cruise ship protection.[1]
The Coast Guard Service coordinates its activities with the Belize Defence Force and the Belize Police Department. [2]
[[File:[1]|thumb|Belize National Coast Guard.]]
As of November 2009, the Coast Guard service has a strength of 120 men and women, referred to as "guardsmen."
Commandant of the Belize National Coast Guard is Captain John Borland.[2]
The chief base of the Belize Coast Guard Service is located at mile 4 on the Western Highway. [3]
The new headquarters was built with the assistance from the US southern command. It was formerly located at Ladyville.
The Forward Operating Base at Calabash Caye was inaugurated on March 17, 2010. It was built at a cost of $3,000.000.00. [4]. Boats are stationed at Caye Caulker and San Pedro under the operational control of Ladyville. [3]
In 2007, the Coast Guard Service has eight boats in commission. There are no aircraft; for air searches the Coast Guard Service relies on the Belize Defence Force.
The Belize Coast Guard Service will receive several fast boats from the United States Coast Guard in 2008. These boats will have a maximum speed of 60 to 65 miles per hour (100 to 108 km/h).
On April 2010, the Coast Guard received two Boston Whaler Justice 37' patrol boats. Shortly they will receive an additional "Justice" and two Secure All-around Flotation Equipped (SAFE) boats. [5]
On November 2011, the Coast Guard received two Boston Whaler Outrage Justice Series boats, two SAFE Defender Class boats, two F-550 Ford trucks, and a 40-foot container filled with spare parts. [6][7]
The Belize National Coast Guard inaugurated a new facility on December 2nd, 2013. [8]

Aztar future looks brighter
New Jersey ruling could bolster Indiana license
The owner of Casino Aztar has won permission to return to Atlantic City in a decision that could bolster the company's chances of regaining full control of its Evansville property.
Earlier this week, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission agreed to allow Tropicana Entertainment LLC to take over ownership of the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. The decision shows a return of support for Tropicana in the same jurisdiction that had caused the company to face losing its gaming licenses in Indiana and other states.
Tropicana is trying to emerge from bankruptcy and has a new line of executives in charge. Because of the leadership change, Indiana regulators view it as a different company and have asked it to reapply for a state gaming license.
On Thursday, Ernest Yelton, the executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, said regulators are still investigating Tropicana Entertainment. For that reason, the earliest the company could receive a license is November, even though the commission is meeting next month, he said.
New Jersey's approval also will allow Tropicana to reunite its Atlantic City casino with Casino Aztar and properties it owns in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Tropicana's recent troubles date to December 2007, when New Jersey regulators responded to complaints over cleanliness and customer service by revoking the company's right to run its Atlantic City casino. That decision, because of the nature of gambling laws, raised the possibility that the company would lose its gaming licenses in other states.
In Indiana, regulators stopped short of a full revocation, instead appointing an "attorney-in-fact" to manage Casino Aztar. Robert "Tom" Dingman, who retired from the Harrah's casino chain, has been in that position since April 2008.
Most important to Indiana officials, Tropicana has cut all ties with William J. Yung III, the former owner. Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel has said he is willing to accept the company again so long as Yung has no part in it.
With a new approval from regulators in Indiana and other states, Tropicana Entertainment will likely be able to emerge from the bankruptcy it declared in May 2008. The company's plan for leaving Chapter 11 protection won the approval U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in March, but it has yet to take effect.
Once Tropicana leaves bankruptcy, the majority ownership of the company will fall to a group of investors led by billionaire Carl Icahn.
Those same businessmen have bid $200 million for the Atlantic City property, a deal which won't occur without the approval of a New Jersey bankruptcy court.

Every time he looked down and out he pulled off a Harry Houdini manoeuvre to knock out Gary Woodland (19th hole), Hideki Matsuyama (1up) and old Ryder Cup sparring partner Hunter Mahan (1up).
At one point I thought Graeme's name was etched on the trophy but even though the miracle came to a close when he lost to Victor Dubuisson in the quarter-finals, he can take great confidence from his run, as well as his recent seventh place at Pebble Beach.
McDowell is not as good as Tiger Woods and his great friend Rory McIlroy but there are not many players better than him these days and he has one thing many guys of his era would love to have: a Major title.
I think he has achieved such success because of a few factors, one of which is his putting as, much like Ian Poulter, whenever you see him on a green you always thinks he is going to knock his ball in the hole.
You need a bit of luck to sink the 40-feet putts but Graeme's five, six, seven-feet ones go in at the same speed all the time which shows you how well he reads his lines and how much freedom he gets in his strokes.
However, McDowell is also very strong mentally and is able to forget about errors or bad rounds and come back even better, though he is helped in that respect by his great relationship with his caddie Ken Comboy, a fellow Man United fan.
Half the battle in golf is in the mind and Graeme has this inner arrogance that really helps him in that department, which is why I am not surprised he has a US Open title in his cabinet.
That inner arrogance and self-belief is something that McIlroy has got back after a tricky 2013 campaign and I've definitely got him pencilled in to win a Major this year.
I know he was knocked out in the second round at the Match Play by Harris English but that only occurred on the 19th hole and he is driving the ball beautifully at the moment, which makes him a fearsome opponent.
Rory is one of the most naturally-gifted golfers I have ever seen but I think the application side of things is beginning to get there, too, and I'm sure he learned a lot from his tribulations last season.
I reckon he was disappointed the way he let down his fans and sponsors at the 2013 Honda Classic by walking off with an apparent toothache and has subsequently realised what is expected of a world star, as well as where to take his counsel from.
However, we shouldn't overlook what Rory has already achieved.
If a player wins their first event by the age of 24, they go down as a very promising young golfer, but by the age of 24 McIlroy has won the Race to Dubai, topped the money list in America, become world number one and won two Majors by eight strokes each.
That makes him exceptional, not ordinary, and it was always going to take him time to deal with that but now that he is he could go on a tear, particularly at Augusta, where he has unfinished business.
Rory had a bit of a meltdown in the final round at the 2011 Masters - though he still might have won it, despite shooting 80, if he had more than an average putting week - but he has a perfect game for Augusta and I would not be shocked if he picked up multiple Green Jackets.
I am backing McIlroy to win the Honda Classic for the second time, but I think Billy Horschel - who performed well at the Match Play in spite of losing to eventual champion Jason Day on the 22nd hole in round two - represents good each-way value. At the Tshwane Open, meanwhile, I am going to go for young Dane Lucas Bjerregaard, who has a good action, proved he can cope with grainy greens when he went close at the Africa Open a few weeks back, and is primed for a breakthrough win.

The cold, clear water found in mountain streams and lakes may look
appealing but often contains Giardia lamblia, the
parasite that causes
giardiasis. On short hikes, you may be able to carry
from home enough water to drink. But when you are camping and backpacking, you
often need to use other water sources. Water from pumps in campgrounds is
usually safe, but if a sign tells you that the water is not safe or if you have
any doubts, treat the water before you use it.
To avoid infection with Giardia lamblia and
other parasites, use one of these purification methods:

External Links - NPOV/Verifiability?[edit]
The external links section in this article looks really strange. First link is broken and I just don't see how the second one can be "really" related on the article. Is it because the site mentions word 'niche' in it's name? Tommi (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the removal of the sites listed. I would however like to suggest the inclusion of a widely respected tutorial series that compliments the online niche marketing section which I believe could be expanded. Until such time as expansion does take place I think a link guiding users to further information on this topic would be useful. The site is - http://heronacademy.com/lab/niche-research/niche-research-for-beginners-part-1 - I will remove this link if there's any objection and then we can discuss the matter here./// —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:06, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the link. I notice the administrators insist upon removing it as spam. I can absolutely accept that, and am happy for its removal, however please state the reason the article is spam so we can discuss it here, instead of just saying "spam" and leaving no valid reason beyond that. Until discussion is brought here I will revert the link continually. Ban me if need be, all I'm asking for is a simple discussion.184.108.40.206 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:20, 11 June 2011 (UTC).
- Continuously reverting (ie edit warring) over a link that appears to lack any degree of consensus (demonstrated by multiple parties removing it) is likely to result in your account being blocked. Due to the clear support for its removal, the burden is on you to establish consensus before re-adding the link. Please be aware that repeated spamming of links against consensus is likely to result in accounts being blocked, and repeatedly abused links can potentially be blacklisted to prevent continued disruption.
- As to the link itself, you have received references to WP:EL and WP:NOT#REPOSITORY on your talk pages. The link does not meet any of the criteria of WP:ELYES (note: the criteria for encyclopedic understanding is not the same as a how-to guide). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
At best this is a link to a how-to guide. At worst it is a link to an advertisement for a business, carefully presented in a soft-sell form by putting the advertising content in the context of a how-to guide. In neither case is it in line with Wikipedia's standards for external links, and in the latter case (which I think is the better reading) it is very clearly contrary to the guideline on links to be avoided. It falls under "Links to individual web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services", even though that primary purpose is superficially masked by the inclusion of a good deal of material not directly addressing that purpose. Since four editors have removed the link, and only one has (repeatedly) added it, it is clear that consensus is against inclusion. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:32, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Since the anonymous editor who started this section changes IP address and has no fixed user talk page, I will mention here that I have replied on my talk page to their latest post there. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Can someone add this? Seems to be mispronounced by lots of people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 11:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the tiny.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as QuickBooks SDK (version 11.0, 12.0, 10.0) belongs to software QuickBooks SDK or VisualGSM Lite by Intuit Developer Network (developer.intuit.com).
Description: Tiny.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file tiny.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files" or sometimes in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
The file size on Windows 8/7/XP is 58,880 bytes.
The program has no file description. It is not a Windows core file. The program has no visible window. The process starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: MACHINE\User Shell Folders, User Shell Folders). The application uses ports to connect to or from a LAN or the Internet. Therefore the technical security rating is 66% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
If you have any problems with tiny.exe, you may also completely remove QuickBooks SDK or VisualGSM Lite (Control Panel⇒Add/Remove programs), use the software publisher's support or update the program to the latest version.
Recommended: Identify tiny.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as tiny.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the tiny.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of tiny.exe: based on 4 votes with 4 user comments. 2 users think tiny.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 2 users think it's probably harmless.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with tiny. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the tiny.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Reviews for MIRACLES IN ACTION INC
With thousands of Guatemalan immigrants coming to the US to escape extreme poverty, Miracles is giving a hand up versus a hand out. I have been volunteering for Miracles in Action for 10 years watching the founder, Penny Rambacher, fund and build 50+ schools, water filtration systems, safe stoves,implement nutrition programs, and provide the extreme poor an opportunity to receive fair wages for their handicrafts. Teaching the people of Guatemala to help themselves is the ultimate gift.
It is awesome to see how this organization is impacting Guatemala. You can actually see the difference they are making and how they leaving a legacy for children
This organization is truly amazing! It is making a difference impacting many lives in Guatemala! Very unique and heart warming. I am glad to be a part of Miracles in Action and be making a difference in my local community as well as empowering mayan women!
I've had the priveledge of accompanying several groups from Miracles in Action on trips to remote areas. One such visit was to give Mayan women beaders water filters and clean them how to clean them. On another occasion, again Mayan women learned how to use Chaya to make healthier tortillas and the rainbow of vegetables to add to their family's diet. But one if the most moving was the 10th Anniversary of Miracles in Action when we visited the first school financed by Penny's mom. Now on their 50th school, this is one amazing organization!
More Feedback
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I have been closely involved with Miracles in Action from its very inception, and have observed them become more and more focused and professional. Their personal commitment, however, has never flagged for one instant, and all of their staff and many volunteers do everything they can to reduce costs, raise money, and pass the maximum on to the deserving beneficiaries, who in turn have put their own "sweat equity" and skin in the game. Having lived in Guatemala for over 20 years, and been involved in similar work to that of Miracles in Action, I can say I am a supporter and a financial donor as well.
Miracles in Action provides a wonderful opportunity to give help to the people of Guatemala.
Under the direction of Penny Rambacher, forty seven schools have been built in less than ten years!
Backpacks and school supplies are often provided. I was thrilled to see what a difference this makes
in the lives of the families of San Jose Xepatan.
While I visited the area many other needs developed. Penny's knowledge helped improve these conditions. We installed water purification systems, promoted nutrition education, delivered
a wheelchair and an operation to improve a child's mobility was planned. We made a visit to purchase products to sell from the women beaders as this elevates their status. Lunch was at a vocational school which Miracles in Action supports. I just wish I could be there when the many toys and clothing items are delivered at Christmas. All of the money we contribute goes directly to the people of Guatemala.
I love that this organization began with one person. One person that was not only willing to SEE extreme poverty while on vacation, but one person that DID SOMETHING about what they saw.
It is amazing what a difference one person can make. So many schools! So many lives touched.
Thank you Penny and your amazing Mom, for starting this remarkable organization.
I am impressed with Miracles In Action. They put every penny of your donation to work helping the poor in rural Guatemala. Over the years I have seen the schools, the libraries, the water projects, the wood burning stoves, the nutritional education, the teacher education, and the warm clothing that they have given to the people of Guatemala. I am impressed with the dedication and the hard work of everyone associated with this charity and with the amazing results of their hard work in rural Guatemala.
Recently I had the opportunity to visit some of the communities where Miracles in Action works. I was struck by what a difference they've made in thousands of people's lives. They choose their partners and communities very thoughtfully, to have the biggest impact. They also listen closely to community leaders to find their greatest needs -- it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. What an effective way to change the world.

Quite well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
What's impressed me most is about Miracles in Action is the breadth of services they're involved in--from building schools to providing clean water systems, safe stoves and nutrition education. I love that they work with local NGOs and seek sustainable, long-lasting solutions to the problems of rural poverty. And it's all done in the most frugal ways possible, stretching every dollar to provide the greatest impact.

I remember meeting the founder of this organization 2 years ago at a Nutrition Expo and getting intrigued by the information shown in their brochure. Everything happens for a reason; I got to know them better in the field and I just love how the website shows what they truly profess. I have seen it and experienced because I am now involved in this NGO, and it is a wonderful one.

Hello. I'm Joseph Tame, a Tokyo-based Digital Media Producer, artist, marathon runner, public speaker, tomato-grower, consultant, trainer, inventor, husband, proud daddy, tech-otaku & change enthusiast.
Following a traumatic 2 weeks spent climbing up and down a stepladder to fill the jam vat at a Devon cheesecake factory, I moved to Switzerland where I became the fastest tobogganer in the mountain resort of Kleine Scheidegg, perfecting the 360-degree handbreak turn, and smashing the 1934 world downhill ski record with my time of 26 mins down to Grindelwald.
Breaking my collarbone actually turned out to be a good thing, as it played a key part in my decision to head to Japan with a working holiday visa.
7 years and plenty of unpublishable adventures later, I'd successfully completed a degree in Japanese Studies at the University of Sheffield (including a year at Rikkyo University in Ikebukuro), and was happily married, living and working in Tokyo.
Having secured a job that was guaranteed to drive me nuts (repeating the same scripted 5-minute phone conversation with 300 students every two weeks), I vented my creative frustration through the creation of Japan Podshow, a series of audio and video podcasts. This, and Twitter, opened the door to a fantastic community of supportive individuals, my friendship with which led me on a very interesting path through a couple of companies, and onto the core team behind TEDxTokyo.
Connections there enabled me to establish my own company, Wild Tame Co., Ltd. As Creative Director I have worked with a wide variety of clients on all kinds of digital media projects.
As Wild Tame enters its fourth year of business, I'm picking up on two themes I have long had a deep interest in – Japanese and mobile technology. More on what form that will take in due course…

Public Speaking
Over the past couple of years I have been requested to give live presentations on mobile / wearable technology at a wide variety of events, usually whilst operating the latest version of my ultimate social live-streaming machine, dubbed the 'iRun'. These include:
- Olympus (Tokyo)
- Daiwa Securities (Tokyo)

- Roppongi Hills Breakfast (MORI Building Co., Ltd)
- PechaKucha Tokyo (five times)
- American Chambers of Commerce, Tokyo
- Mashable Social Media Day (Tokyo – twice)
- Plus many more…
In addition to the above work, I continue to work on a number of digital art projects. These include:
- Extreme mobile live stream broadcasts – the first to broadcast a continuous live stream of the full Tokyo Marathon from multiple iPhones to an audience of over 42,000; the first to live stream from the summit of Mount Fuji during a solar eclipse over a special 3G network

- Elephant Art: A series of hand-drawn cartoons featuring the exploits of an adventurous heard of elephants
- The original Remote-Controlled-Car-and-Wooden-Spoon-Mouse-Trap (didn't quite perform as hoped)
- Numerous photography projects

Shea Butter
Desert Essence's hydrating Shea Butter is a West African treasure from Shea Tree nuts grown in protected and ecologically responsible areas of the African Savannah. These protected, rare and exotic trees reach maturity only after 40 years of sustained growth.
Shea Butter is highly emollient and rich in Vitamins A, E and F, making it very beneficial to rough, cracked skin. It also helps maintain moisture in dry, damaged hair, working to repair and revitalize, preventing breakage and split ends.
