The UCSF School of Dentistry lost a strong and unforgettable voice with the passing of Dr. Po-Ping Wong (D'65) on Sunday, August 24, according to his son, retired Major General M. Ted Wong (D'84, former Chief of the US Army Dental Corps).
Dr. Po-Ping Wong was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States as a teenager. He earned his undergraduate and master's degrees in horticulture from the University of Idaho. Following a short career in academia, he entered the UCSF School of Dentistry, graduating in 1965.
In the fall of 1965 he began a private practice in Garden Grove, Calif., continuing to practice at the same location for 39 years, until his 2004 retirement. His philosophy as a dental professional, summarized in a 2013 Recognition Banquet biographical note, was "to do the best of my ability to perform any procedure, may it be simple or complex, regardless of the time required."
A dedicated and enthusiastic alumnus of the UCSF School of Dentistry, Dr. Wong was a regular attendee at the annual Scientific Sessions. Over the past decade it became a tradition to conclude the UCSF Dental Alumni Association Awards Luncheon with Dr. Wong leading those assembled in the UC hymn "All Hail Blue and Gold" in his distinctive tenor.
Dr. Wong was a life member of the American Dental Association, and in 1981 he was recognized as a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. In 2013 he received the UCSF Dental Alumni Association Medal of Honor at the 117th Scientific Session.
Dr. Wong inspired his three sons to embark on health-related careers, and two of them are fellow UCSF School of Dentistry alumni: Dr. Ted Wong and Dr. Andre Wong (D'01).
Dean Featherstone remembers Dr. Wong as a dedicated friend of the UCSF School of Dentistry and a model of giving back to the school in every way. He asks that the school community join him in offering condolences to Dr. Wong's family and in carrying forward his commitment to service.

text: UK 18 October 2011 A grim poll for the Tories Labour lead up to eight points as Tory support falls to just 33 per cent in new Populus poll. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML David Cameron is said by some to have emerged almost unscathed from the Liam Fox imbroglio and last week's terrible unemployment figures. But the latest monthly Populus/Times poll (£), the first to be conducted since Fox's resignation, makes grim reading for the Prime Minister. Labour's advantage over the Conservatives is up from four points to eight points, the party's largest lead in a Populus poll since the election-that-never-was in 2007. By contrast, the Tories' share of the vote is down to just 33 per cent, their worst Populus figure in this parliament. Regardless of whether you take into account the likely effect of the boundary changes, George Osborne wouldn't get the majority he craves on these figures. And there's little to cheer the Lib Dems, who are down four points to just 8 per cent, their lowest figure since Populus started polling for the Times in 2003. Latest poll (Populus/Times) Labour majority of 94 (uniform swing). There is also some evidence that Fox's resignation has damaged the Tories' reputation. The number saying that they are "honest and principled" has dropped from 36 per cent in September to 30 per cent this month, while the proportion saying that they are "competent and capable" has fallen from 48 per cent last month to 42 per cent now. However, it isn't all bad news for the Tories. Cameron and George Osborne are still rated as a better economic team than Ed Miliband and Ed Balls (a remarkable political achievement given that the economy hasn't grown for nine months), although their lead has fallen from 18 per cent in June to 13 per cent in September. The full data tables aren't available yet but the Times reports: "This drop is particularly pronounced among women, where the lead fell from 20 per cent to 11 per cent over the same period, and from 28 per cent to 9 per cent among skilled manual workers (C2s)." New Statesman Poll of Polls Labour majority of 50 (uniform swing). Yet so long as the Conservatives retain their lead on the economy and Cameron is rated as a better leader than Miliband, the Tories will be confident of clawing back Labour's lead. As I always point out, personal approval ratings are often a better long-term indicator of the next election result than voting intentions. Labour frequently led the Tories under Neil Kinnock, for instance, but Kinnock was never rated above John Major as a potential prime minister. As the economy enters a new and dangerous phase, it will be worth watching to see whether these ratings begin to swing in Miliband's favour. P.S. Conversely, the latest YouGov poll puts Labour's lead at just three points. Miliband's party is on 40 per cent, the Tories are on 37 per cent, and the Lib Dems are on 9 per cent. › Morning Call: pick of the papers George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

Price signs letter of intent
May 30th, 2012 | SMWC
It is with great pleasure that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College welcomes Kayla Price, the newest addition to the Pomeroys' softball team. Kayla is an experienced athlete with both an impressively accurate pitching arm, and the most refreshing attribute of all: pure passion for the game. A graduate of Terre Haute South High School and Lincoln Trail Junior College in Robinson, Illinois, she is also an accomplished student.
The Pomeroys' softball coach, Gary Rodgers, believes that Kayla has the potential to be a powerful force on the team: "I look for Kayla to make an impact on our team as a pitcher who has good movement on her pitches, and can hit her spots for good location." In addition to her position as a pitcher, Kayla will also spend time as a utility player. This wearing of many hats, and doing so effectively, will prove her to be a cherished asset to the team.
Kayla is the daughter of proud parents, Robert and Angie Price, of Terre Haute. She joins her former Terre Haute South High School teammates, Macy Toon and Rebecca Latta, who have also recently signed letters of intent to play softball at The Woods.

Bombing Suspects Mother Believes It Was Fake [VIDEO]
The mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects believes the whole incident was staged as her husband heads to the United States to claim the body of their oldest son Tamerlan.
In an interview with CNN in Makhachkala, Dagestan, Zubeidat Tsarnaev describes the bombing as a "show" that was staged and claims to have seen a video supporting her belief.
"That's what I want to know, because everybody's talking about it — that this is a show, that's what I want to know. That's what I want to understand," she told CNN.
Zubeidat admits that she has not seen any news footage of the bombing but dismissed it, saying the blood in the street was paint. But then she broke down when talking about the victims. "I really feel sorry for all of them. Really feel sorry for all of them," she told CNN, her voice cracking.
Anzor Tsarnaev, the suspects father, says he wants to take the body of his son Tamerlan Tsarnaev back to Russia. Zubeidat says he will not be allowed to see Dzhokhar at his Boston hospital.
She is wanted on felony, shop lifting and property damage charges in Massachusetts according to CNN and will not join her husband on the trip.
Meanwhile, officials say 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has admitted to the FBI that he was involved in the attacks.
Tsarnaev Brothers Planned To Party In New York Following Bombing
Tamerlan & Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were planning on partying in New York following the Boston Marathon bombings but it would not be their first trip there.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly tells WABC TV "I'm telling you what bit of information that we have that it may have been words to the effect of 'coming to party in New York,'" Kelly said.
Kelly estimates the photo was taken in November, 2012.
Officials: One bombing suspect was in terror database
U.S. officials say the name of the dead suspect in the Boston marathon bombings was added to a U.S. government terrorism database about 18 months before the attacks.
The officials say Russia contacted the CIA in the fall of 2011 with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The Russians also contacted the FBI about Tsarnaev earlier that year. The FBI conducted an investigation and did not find he had any terror connections.

7 Ways to Grow Out Your Bangs Gracefully
First off, start with the basics. Swap your go-to shampoo for one with added moisturizing and nourishing benefits, keeping an eye out for ingredients such as natural oils and silk extracts. Ojon Dry Recovery Hydrating Shampoo contains blue agave nectar and macadamia, jojoba, and babassu oils. And the number one rule in sudsing up?
"Wash your hair less," says hairstylist Oscar Blandi. "Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its essential oils." Repeat after us: Oils are your friends. They prevent further dryness and can help to make your strands happy again. If you are worried about your hair becoming greasy in between shampoo sessions, use dry shampoo. Blandi's own Pronto Dry Shampoo contains natural rice, oat, and tapioca starches to remove buildup and tea tree oil to hydrate the scalp.
Ojon Dry Recovery Hydrating Shampoo, $62; ojon.com; Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo, $23; oscarblandi.com
After washing your hair, reach for an ultra-hydrating conditioner, recommends hairstylist Luca Blandi. Look for one with plant-derived moisturizers, like Phyto Phytobaume Réparateur, which also contains keratin to repair hair. Then take care to coat your ends. Blow-dry strands with the conditioner still on, then rinse it out. "Heat allows the conditioner to really penetrate from the inside out," Blandi adds. Only do this two or three times a week to prevent hair from becoming "flat and greasy."

RESIDENTS have been given extra time to give their views on the future of urgent care services across Worcestershire.
The deadline has been extended for a further three weeks until Wednesday, April 9 following feedback from Worcestershire's Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee who wanted to see the timescale for engagement lengthened.
NHS organisations across Worcestershire have jointly produced a draft Urgent Care Strategy, which set out how the local NHS proposes to improve urgent care services.
The strategy looks at how urgent care services will be delivered in the future, to best meet the needs of Worcestershire's population.
Included within the strategy are plans to improve Accident and Emergency services, in particular through the development of Urgent Care Centres where hospital doctors and GPs will work alongside each other to provide a new service.
It proposes plans to improve Minor Injury Units through closer working arrangements with the main Accident and Emergency departments and local GPs.
The strategy also proposes not to continue with the 'walk-in' element of the Worcester Walk-in Health Centre when the current contract expires in August as NHS leaders believe this service in particular will no longer be required with the other improvements in place.
Dr Jonathan Wells, clinical lead for NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove CCG, said: "The changes set out in this strategy are hugely important for the future of urgent care services in the local area.
"To ensure that local urgent care services are as effective as possible, some changes need to be made to how they are currently provided.
"We're very keen for residents to have their say on the plans. By listening to what our patients tell us we are able to more closely shape these plans to local needs and ensure that we provide the best range of local urgent care services."
For more information or to comment on the draft strategy, visit redditchandbromsgroveccg.nhs.uk/get-involved/urgent-care.
There are other ways to get involved in the conversation, including on Twitter by using #urgentcareworcs or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

November 9, 2012
Salt Lake City, UT - Junior transfer Jacqui Marshall tallied a game-high 26 points to lead The Master's College to a 62-49 upset of No. 15 Lewis-Clark State of Idaho on the second day of the Westminster Classic.
Just a day after shocking fifth-ranked and host Westminster, the Mustangs (2-0) made the nation take notice again with another victory over an NAIA Top 25 team and this time Marshall showed why she may be one of the country's top players.
Unlike the day before when she was saddled with foul trouble and scored only nine points in her Mustang debut, Marshall (San Clemente, CA) displayed her immense talent against the Warriors. It was her layup with 16:19 left in the first half that handed the Mustangs their first lead (6-4) of the game and her two free throws with 15 seconds left in the opening stanza gave the club its initial double-digit margin and a 33-23 advantage at halftime.
In between, the Mustangs trailed during the majority of the first half and senior guard Kimmy Iverson (San Marcos, CA) was a great complement to Marshall, equaling her teammates' 11 points over the opening 20 minutes. After the Warriors reeled off six straight points to take a 13-8 lead, Iverson buried the first of her three trifectas to shave the deficit to two at the 12:11 mark. Then, less than two minutes (10:18) later, her second trey snapped a 5-0 Warrior spurt and brought the Mustangs to within four points, 18-14. She capped off a brilliant four minutes of shooting with 7:57 remaining in the half when her final three-pointer made it a two-point (21-19) game.
In spite of all this, the Mustangs weren't able to overtake the Warriors until late in the half when a stingy defense fueled the offensive play of Marshall and her teammates. Down 23-20 with 6:08 left, the Mustangs held the Warriors scoreless until the break while ripping off 13 straight points. Marshall's layup keyed the decisive run and her two charity tosses capped it off before halftime. Senior Theresa Brown's (Eugene, OR) two free throws at the 3:12 mark put the Mustangs ahead for good, Iverson added another two free tosses, and Zoe Scott (Spirit Lake, ID) tacked on a layup as the Mustangs closed out the half in commanding fashion.
The Mustangs shot just 34% from the field in the first half but made three of their last four shots while the Warriors missed their final seven attempts and managed just 28% accuracy.
That 13-0 run to close the first half bridged halftime as the Mustangs scored the first four points of the final stanza to extend the lead to 37-23. The Warriors stopped the skein on a Tanis Fuller three-pointer with 19:10 left to play but the Mustangs refused to wilt. In fact, they thrived, outscoring the Warriors 14-4 in a 4:36 span to go up 51-30 with 14:18 showing on the clock. Marshall exerted herself during the burst, scoring seven straight points and nine overall.
The Mustangs didn't get comfortable with their cushion but the Warriors showed why they were rated as the No. 15 team in the country in the NAIA preseason poll. In the space of five and a half minutes, they sliced 11 points off the deficit, closing to 53-43 on a Loree Hill free throw with 8:19 left in the game. But, the Mustangs responded in resilient fashion when Scott and Whitney Best (Snohomish, WA) combined for five points to restore order at 58-43. The Warriors didn't get closer than 13 points the rest of the way.
Points were hard to come by in the game's final five minutes as the clubs combined for just eight and it was only fitting that Marshall would score her team's final bucket on a jumper with 2:39 left. Meanwhile, the Warriors converted just two of their final six shots as they dropped to 0-3.
Marshall's 26 points came on 11-17 shooting from the field and her six rebounds equaled Brown's total for team-highs. Iverson was the only other Mustang in double figures, finishing with the 11 points she scored in the first half. Although she struggled from the field, senior Lena Rivera (Allen, TX) contributed in other areas, posting game-highs of seven steals and five assists.
In less than 24 hours, the Mustangs will be back on the court again, this time looking for a three-game sweep of their Salt Lake City weekend when they play Montana Western on Saturday afternoon.

tarunactivity - Thursday, June 10, 2010 - linka notable omission:
The FM receiver on the N900 requires Bluetooth to be switched on. So if you want FM, you need to plugin your earphones + enable bluetooth.
Kind of counter productive , if you ask me,and surely a waste of power. Reply
Brian Klug - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkAhh, you're totally right. I think I glossed over that because I already had Bluetooth on, but it makes sense now since the FM radio is on that same piece of silicon.
I wonder how much of a difference it makes on battery - had it disabled for those other tests of course.

legoman666 - Thursday, June 10, 2010 - linkI've had the N900 since last November. No screen protector, no case. Not 1 scratch. So speak for yourself, maybe you ought to put your phone in a separate pocket as your keys. Reply

arnavvdesai - Thursday, June 10, 2010 - linkActually, the Symbian OS- Nokia's No.1 Smartphone OS is more open with entire OS(including the core APIs) being Open Source. Symbian is more open than Android. Reply
Talcite - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkThat's only true for symbian^3 and newer OSes. Only the Nokia N8 is currently shipping S^3 I believe.
You should also mention that the Maemo 5 OS has many binary packages to get all the cellular hardware and PowerVR GPU working.
Anyways, it definitely has more support for the FOSS community than android though as far as I know. You're free to flash your own ROMs without needing to root it and you don't need to do weird stuff with java VMs. Just a simple recompile for ARM and support for Qt I think. Reply
teohhanhui - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkNokia N8 is still far from "currently shipping"... Reply
Fri13 - Sunday, June 20, 2010 - linkSymbian is server-client architectured operating system. Symbian has EKA2 microkernel + servers (modules). But Symbian is not at same time _just_ the operating system. It has other features (like libraries and so on) as well what does not belong to the actual OS.
Fact is that Symbian really is open source.
But in other hand, the Android is not the operating system. It is a software system. The Linux is the operating system in the Android. Linux is monolithic kernel. Monolithic kernel is exactly same thing as operating system. It is the oldest (actually original) OS architecture. Server-client and layered architectures were developed almost few decades after the monolithic because there was demand to get OS architecture what is in theory more secure and more stable, but slower.
Symbian is licensed under EPL. While Linux OS is licensed under GPLv2 (only).
Both licenses are aproofed by the OSI and FSF. So both OS's are Libre software.
Android is software system what has multple different licensed software in it. The Linux OS in it is the GPLv2 (what can not be changed) and the distributor itself can use as well closed source software if the license allows. Usually this means that the software platforms or the softwares what are responsible for user interface can be with different license than F/OSS license.
By the facts, it is not true at all to say that "Android is not F/OSS operating system". Because a) Linux kernel is the operating system in Android. Android is just one distribution of the Linux. b) When talking about the operating systems and android, if wanted to be very wide speaking by terms, then Android is totally F/OSS. Reply

legoman666 - Thursday, June 10, 2010 - linkI love my N900 :D I bought it last November, right when it was first released. I had a N810 at the time, so I was excited to get the next iteration. With PR1.2 and a modest overclock to 800mhz, it scores ~12000ms on the sunspider javascript benchmark, which is on par with the HTC Incredible and the Nexus 1.
I didn't have to get t-mobile, as my local carrier, Cincinnati Bell, uses the same 3g frequencies as T-mobile. I get blazing fast speeds of 3mb/s.
As Brian said in the review, the Skype integration is excellent. It even tells you how much credit you have remaining and the call cost at the end of the call. (And I can make video calls over 3g, take that iPhone) Reply

CityBlue - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkYes they do plan to port MeeGo to the N900 - in fact, the N900 is the primary development platform for MeeGo so not making it available in one form or another would be utterly ridiculous.
What Nokia have said is that the version of MeeGo that will be made available for the N900 will not be officially supported, which basically means you can't go running to Nokia Care when you find a bug. Since I can't believe anyone does this even with a supported OS, the lack of Nokia Care is no great loss - you'll still have a very large and committed community to fall back on for help.
So in brief: Yes, MeeGo *IS* coming to the N900 - whether you install it or not is your choice. Reply

DLeRium - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkYou talk about the display brightness and how nice it looks, but you need to mention gamut. In some tests the 3GS shows ~65% of gamut, while the Droid shows 102%. Nexus One is at 141%. I expect the Incredible to be around there, so while the colors look nice on AMOLED, you must remember it's over-saturated and inaccurate while the Droid is spot on at 102%. Reply
fabarati - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkI think you've misunderstood what gamut means.
When a screen is advertises as 98% of the Adobe sRGB Gamut, it means that the screen covers 98% of the colours defined by Adobe for that gamut..
If it says 141% of the Adobe sRGB gamut, it means that it covers more than that defined area. It doesn't mean that the colours are oversaturated. It also doesn't mean that it can display all the colours there is.
Read up on gamuts on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamut Reply
Powerlurker - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkOn the other hand, I doubt that anyone is going to do color correction or some sort of display calibration on their smartphone, and since most companies set their displays to be somewhat saturated by default, I would guess that in practice the Incredible's AMOLED screen will be oversaturated compared to the Droid's LCD. Reply
Brian Klug - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkSo here's the problem - there's absolutely no way to measure it. Or at least, I haven't found an acceptable solution.
Going off the display panel numbers seems extremely unrealistic for obvious reasons, but barring that there are other bigger problems.
1. Android uses 16-bit color in a lot of places because they're rendering them with 3D OpenGL compositing and compressed textures. One of the most glaring - and dare I say troubling - examples is right inside the gallery application. The gallery application in 2.0.1 was full 24-bit color, but in 2.1 Google contracted with Cooliris to develop a more flashy 3D gallery. Obviously, the limitations imposed by the GPU on different devices (and possibly even from the POV of what textures are supported) necessitated 16-bits per color. In practice, it just looks awful. Without even being nitpicky, I can notice lots of banding.
2. The AMOLED displays use the PenTile array, which also does a lot of dithering inherently - in fact, their pattern is essentially trying to get around Nyquist by being very creative with the human eye system, and this intermediate software layer of theirs. The consequence is that it ends up smoothing and dithering the 16-bits, making it really hard to see the banding, but it's still there. Pull up the color gradient images from the article and scrutinize the Incredible. There's no banding, but in person, you can stlll pick out dithering and a problem.
3. I still have no way of doing gamut testing on any mobile devices. So back when I started on the iPad article, I had a (relatively clever, I think) idea to use the calibration software through a 24-bit remote desktop session, tricking it into using any mobile device like a screen. This just doesn't work for reasons outside my understanding. I've done it on iPhone OS and Android, and for some reason the results are just complete bogus. So there's no way of really telling what the % gamut coverage of Adobe 1998 any of these things are. Moreover, since there's no way of loading a display profile on them, you're really stuck with whatever it shipped with anyways.
The sad state of things is that AMOLED "looks" brighter and more contrasty, but the color accuracy is just undoubtedly wrong. I mean, it's obvious to make that comparison when you're surrounded by calibrated IPS panels with Delta-E tracking under 1.0, you hold up any of the phones, and see a veritable library of differently hued photos.
I'm open to any suggestions you guys have for really measuring gamut. I mean, we could try being more manual and laboriously testing colors one by one (that's basically how I do brightness - white, black, and contrast) but, is it worth it? Reply

I have a feeling there are many people like me....people that have been thinking about purchasing this incredible phone, but have been holding back for various reasons: for the price to come down a bit, to see how Nokia supported it with software updates, to find out about bugs and if they're being fixed, to feel comfortable about the future of Maemo on the N900 and, at this point, feeling comfortable about buying this phone even if Nokia comes out with something better in a few months time.
I've been depending daily on my flip phone/N800 tablet combination for a few years now, and have been dying to step up to the next level, even before I knew that would come in the form of the N900. A few months ago I looked at the Droid (currently I'm with Verizon), and lately considered the htc EVO on Sprint, but when you combine the current capabilities and the exciting future of the N900 (thanks to its truly open philosophy and dedicated enthusiast/developer base), I just couldn't wait any longer to get on board!

Inside the Snapdragon is a Scorpion, which is Qualcomm's trade name for their hardened (1 GHz supporting) Cortex A8 CPU.
Cortex is the ARM Family, ARMv7-A is the family, and Cortex A8 is the fully qualified core name.

akse - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkI've got my N900 clocked to use 250Mhz idle and 805Mhz stress clocks and it fastens everything by huge amount. 600Mhz is sometimes a bit slow and if you up it a little bit, everything starts to get smoother..
The custom kernel is using lower voltages but higher clocks than nokia stock kernel.. which is why 805mhz drains just about the same amount of power than 600mhz with stock kernel.

There's no conspiracy - I just thought that the Incredible's AMOLED display would make an interesting comparison with the Motorola Droid's LCD, and the N900's resistive layer would mix things up a bit.
The iPhone screen really shows its age in the numbers from the bench though. It leaks light pretty badly and obviously the lower PPI is... well... bad.

I know, I'm nitpicking here, but I just thought I had to mention it.
The Adreno 200 runs at a frequency of 133 MHz, giving it a theoretical performance of 133 MPixels/s of fill rate and 22 Million Triangle/s. The Adreno 205 is the same core but running at 200 MHz and is what will be used in the MSM7X30 and QSD8X50A (45 nm version of the current Snapdragon chip with some small tweaks). The SGX530 used in the Droid (OMAP3430) runs at around 100 MHz, which should give it a theoretical fill rate of 250 MPixels/s and a 7 million Triangles/s. On the OMAP3630 the SGX530 will run at 200 MHz AFAIK. That's all theoretical performance, as we all know they're only part of the story. Just take a look at the GTX480 and the Radeon 5870 and you'll know that theoretical performance doesn't get you very far. Reply

milli - Saturday, June 12, 2010 - linkThat's pretty wrong what you're saying there.
Qualcomm didn't even license the A8 (nor will they ever).
What they did license is the ARMv7 instruction set (and that's a huge difference). With that they made a custom implementation of the ARMv7 architecture. (BTW Qualcomm already stated in 2005 that they're an architectural licensee for ARM's ARMv7 instruction set)
There are many differences between Scorpion and A8.
I'll quote from a certain article since i can't say it better:
'Although Scorpion and Cortex-A8 have many similarities, based on the information released by Qualcomm, the two cores differ in a number of interesting ways. For example, while the Scorpion and Cortex-A8 NEON implementations execute the same SIMD-style instructions, Scorpion's implementation can process128 bits of data in parallel, compared to 64 bits on Cortex-A8. Half of Scorpion's SIMD data path can be shut down to conserve power. Scorpion's pipeline is deeper: It has a 13-stage load/store pipeline and two integer pipelines—one of which is 10 stages and can perform simple arithmetic operations (such as adds and subtracts) while the other is 12 stages and can perform both simple and more complex arithmetic, like MACs. Scorpion also has a 23-stage floating-point/SIMD pipeline, and unlike on Cortex-A8, VFPv3 operations are pipelined. Scorpion uses a number of other microarchitectural tweaks that are intended to either boost speed or reduce power consumption. (Scorpion's architects previously designed low-power, high-performance processors for IBM.) The core supports multiple clock and voltage domains to enable additional power savings."
"Qualcomm claims that Scorpion will have power consumption of roughly 200 mW at 600 MHz (this figure includes leakage current, though its contribution is typically minimal in low-power processes). In comparison, ARM reports on its website that a Cortex-A8 in a 65 nm LP process consumes .59 mW/MHz (excluding leakage), which translates into about 350 mW at 600 MHz."
With that said, i don't understand where the misconception about the Scorpion being an A8 started. Even Qualcomm states clearly on their own website that Scorpion is not licensed from ARM. They also state that they invested hundred of millions in creating their own core based on the ARMv7 instruction set.
I hope now all the staff from Anand will stop saying that there's an A8 inside of Snapdragon. Or maybe you should even clarify that with a small article. Reply

metafor - Sunday, June 13, 2010 - linkCortex is the CPU designed by ARM. This is available as a hard-macro (layout already done) or soft-macro (just the functional RTL). Some companies license this in either version. For those who license the soft-version, such as TI, nVidia and Broadcom, they can do a customized place-and-route along with clock-tree optimizations and voltage partitioning to try to make the design run faster.
However, the micro-architecture is the same.
A few companies have ARM architectural licenses (Apple, Qualcomm, Marvell) and instead of licensing the Cortex line of processors, they design their own. The micro-architecture is developed independent of what ARM did in their Cortex series albeit there will often be similarities.
Scorpion inside Snapdragon was developed in the course of years and while it has many similarities to the A8 from a power-point standpoint, the micro-architecture underneath was designed from the ground up. Everything from the branch predictors, the cache controller, exception handling, execution units and most notably, a partially OoOE scheduler and retirement buffer.
There's also the 128-bit, fully pipelined, partially OoOE SIMD/FP unit. Reply

Biological: Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine 13 (PCV13)
The purpose of this study is to determine if a booster dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is safe and results in a measurable and durable immunologic response against pneumococcal subtypes present in the vaccine in solid organ transplant recipient (SOT) children.
Pneumococcal infections are amongst the most common infections seen in immunocompromised children. Infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most frequently observed infection in immunocompromised children.
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPV) have been licensed in the U.S. for over 40 years. In contrast, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are immunogenic and efficacious in normal infants and children, and offer hope of reducing pneumococcal infections in immunocompromised children. However, conjugate pneumococcal vaccine can only protect against a limited number of the 90 pneumococcal serotypes.
It is reasonable to anticipate that the introduction of PCV13 may help reduce the chances of severely immunocompromised children getting pneumococcal infections. Many of these children have been previously immunized with a full series of a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. These children will benefit from an additional dose of the new 13-valent vaccine. The degree to which SOT-recipient children are protected by prior immunizations and are responsive to new immunizations is still largely undefined. This study aims to expand the knowledge regarding the safety and immunogenicity of PCV13 immunization in this growing and vulnerable population.

f***ing cowgirls got lucky and pissed me off. Was a good game though. I was biting my nails the whole time.........By the way, anyone see the end of that san diego/denver game?..... Crazy sh1t!
Granted the cowboys are a great team...I'm so sick of people associating them as "Americas football team" I was expecting to see some Redskins, and ravens fans, and definitely a little more love for philly on here...Great game, Mcnabb looked really good, had some cohones runnin the ball last night no doubt. Since I have players on my fantasy team from both teams, I could have cared less who won. Definitely both teams look like the two best in the nfc.
liken dallas as a child is a sign of bad parenting baha... nah last nights game was good but dallas still sux ;P
Screw the cowboys and the eagles 49ers are going all the way

Guy Selga Jr. doesn't work for Disneyland, but he spends his workdays at the park, smartphone in hand. He stands in line for rides, gathers data and files a steady stream of on-the-ground updates.
Selga is a full-time researcher for TouringPlans, which offers a real-time app that monitors Magic Kingdom crowds and predicts daily wait times for rides.
"Sometimes it's scary accurate," says Selga, a Long Beach blogger and Disney-phile. "I'll be in the parks and see 31 minutes predicted and it was exactly 31 minutes."
TouringPlan is among a handful of useful apps that make it easier to navigate Orange County, from dodging clogged freeways to tracking local sporting events to finding the best deals and destinations. Here's the rundown:
App: Disneyland Lines from TouringPlans
Why: The app offers a suggested daily plan to hit the most attractions and minimize your time waiting in line. Users can update itineraries throughout the day. TouringPlans uses a statistical model to estimate waiting times and also factors in times reported by users, posted information from Disney and staff field reports. Available for iPhone and Android.
Price: Free to download and try; $7 annual subscription for advanced features.
More Info: touringplans.com
Also: Other theme park apps include Mousewait, an app that offers wait times (free); Mobile Magic, Disney's official park app (free). In Buena Park, Knott's Berry Farm has its own app (free).
App: Sigalert
Why: Sigalert offers commuters a real-time snapsnot of Southern California freeway conditions. Once you sign up for an account, you can specify your daily routes and set alerts to notify you if there's a crash or traffic slowdown at particular times and days. Or check the app while walking to the car and compare times to find the quickest route. Available only for iPhone.
Price: Free to try for two weeks; $2.95 monthly subscription for some features afterward.
Info: sigalert.com
Also: There's no official Sigalert app on Android, but you can use the website to receive email alerts about traffic conditions.
App: Gas Buddy
Why: As gas prices continue to rise, this app can help soften the blow. Gas Buddy will compare gas prices for stations closest to your current location. Next to your home, gas might be $4.39 a gallon, but just over a mile away on a slightly different route to work it costs $4.17. That's a difference of a few dollars to fill up a tank. Available for iPhone and Android.
Price: Free
Info: GasBuddy.com
Also: Try Waze, an app built around community-generated traffic alerts and gas price reports (free).
App: ESPN ScoreCenter Mobile
Why: This app allows you to pick your favorite team – including Ducks, Angels, Dodgers, Lakers and Clippers – and customize alerts for scores, game updates and other news. Available for iPhone and Android.
Price: Free
Info: Find in Apple or Google app stores
Also: The Ducks have an app called Anaheim Ducks Official Mobile app (free). MLB At Bat is the official app for professional baseball (free, but additional costs for advanced features).
App: Surfline
Why: Huntington Beach-based Surfline made a name for itself first as the go-to place for surf forecasts with a pay-per-call phone service. Now surfers can use their smartphones to find the latest wave and tide forecasts, view live surf images, and check out beaches along Orange County's coastline and beyond. Available for iPhone, Android and Windows phones.
Price: Free, but there's a $9.95-per-month subscription for HD cameras, no ads, lengthier forecasts, custom alerts and other features.
Info: Surfline.com
Also: The recently launched Haze app on iPhone let's you check the weather, with colorful animations showing the temperatures, the chance of rain and amount of sun to expect ($1).
App: AllTrails
Why: Discover local trails to walk, hike or bike with guides detailing the distance, difficulty and user ratings. It also lets you record your trips and download maps and routes for offline use. Available for iPhone and Android.
Price: Free
Info: AllTrails.com
Also: Explorers also might like the Geocaching app ($10), which is a popular location-based treasure hunting game. Users walk and hike to find small caches of items.
App: TapHunter
Why: You probably know Yelp for checking restaurant reviews, but what about finding a one-of-a-kind brew? Crack open TapHunter. Just tap in your location and the app tells you the distance to a particular brand of cold craft beer. Available for iPhone and Android.
Price: Free
Info: TapHunter.com
Also: OpenTable allows you to reserve a table at many restaurants (free).

DETROIT - Kwame Kilpatrick's birthday is June 8.
When he was mayor of Detroit he celebrated his birthday at Atheneum Suite Hotel in downtown Detroit. They called it a "splash of red" party, but it was all about green, as in money.
Millionaire cable and casino operator Don Barden held up a box and said, "I'm putting in $5,000, who's next?" The box of money was passed around the party and then given to Kilpatrick as a birthday present.
Focus is on money in Kwame Kilpatrick trial's 1st day of testimony
Kilpatrick would not answer Local 4 Defender Kevin Dietz's questions about the birthday money. However, in court, his lawyer said the former Detroit mayor has a lot of friends, many of whom are millionaires, such as Tony Suave, Roger Pensky, Peter Karmanos, Barden and, of course, his best friend Bobby Ferguson.
Kilpatrick's defense team plans to explain away the extra $500,000 in cash running through the defendant's bank accounts as gifts to the mayor from his adoring friends.
Prosecutors plan to put some of those friends on the witness stand where they are expected to say they were extorted into giving large gifts to Kilpatrick under the threat of losing contract work with the city of Detroit.

So here we are, the Rangers on the verge of clinching the Patrick Division and the No. 1 seed in the East, in the hunt for the Presidents' Trophy in the final week of the season, and who knows what in the playoffs.
And the Montreal Canadiens, that prideful iconic hockey organization, a laughingstock not in the playoff race, a franchise which on Thursday fired its general manager and his predecessor, Habs legend Bob Gainey.
I'm not here to make fun, or make light, of the Canadiens' plight.
But it sure has been an interesting turn of events since the Rangers' Glen Sather traded Scott Gomez to then-GM Gainey.
Or, as we here like to sum up the trade: Gomez for Marian Gaborik, Ryan McDonagh, Brandon Prust, Pavel Valentenko and No Gomez.
Which always makes me google this story for a laugh or two.
There are others, I'm sure I've seen over the years since the deal. So feel free to link to your own favorites.
Anyway, I'm thinking this might be the column I write for tomorrow, how this trade shaped the fortune of two clubs, especially the one on top, which changed the look of its roster … special thanks to the Canadiens.

New Port Mann Bridge opens Dec. 1, tolls apply a week later
Commuters will soon find out if the new Port Mann Bridge ends their gridlock gripes or simply moves Metro Vancouver's biggest traffic bottleneck further down the highway and onto untolled crossings.
The new bridge officially opens with eight lanes on Saturday Dec. 1 and half-price tolls of $1.50 for regular cars will kick in a week later on Dec. 8.
The transportation ministry estimates the new bridge will cut commute times 50 per cent and save some drivers an hour a day.
But the full 10 lanes on the bridge and on the widened Highway 1 through Vancouver and Burnaby won't be open until late in 2013 because construction is continuing on much of the corridor.
And some critics say even when the full project is complete, traffic heading to those cities will hit heavy volume at the off-ramps, backing traffic up onto the freeway.
"My prediction is congestion," Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. "The pinch point will just be moved."
He said Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver are all refusing to free up more road capacity in response – by eliminating parking lanes, for example.
"The highway is the access point and if that's where people end up having to sit, that's where they have to sit."
But Port Mann/Highway 1 project spokesman Max Logan said much of the westbound bridge traffic exits at Cape Horn or Brunette Avenue.
"We're not expecting anything significant in terms of a pinch point or traffic bottleneck," he said, adding drivers should see similar conditions they now see west of Brunette, until the entire $3.3-billion project is finished in late 2013.
It's a different story east of the bridge.
By Dec. 1, there will be four lanes open in each direction running from Brunette over the bridge as far east as 200 Street in Langley – a doubling of highway capacity through Surrey.
One of the four lanes each way will be for HOV users, adding 20 kilometres where car pools and other vehicles with at least two occupants can bypass congestion. Registered HOV lane users also get a 25 per cent discount at peak times.
Drivers who don't want to pay a toll will be directed over the Pattullo Bridge, via the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which partly opens Dec. 1.
NDP transportation critic Harry Bains predicts heavy congestion at that crossing and in feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster as a result.
"That is going to be a huge concern," Bains said. "The Pattullo is dangerous and over capacity."
TransLink has also warned seismic and other safety risks could force the Pattullo to shut down before its 2020 target date for replacement.
Logan said he expects some drivers will shift to the Pattullo – at least initially.
"Come Dec. 8, once tolling begins, we may see some drivers gravitate to the untolled alternative," he said. "We're expecting drivers are going to test out the alternatives that are available to them and make the choice of the one that makes most sense to them."
Logan said some drivers may have been avoiding the Port Mann and Highway 1 because of construction delays and will now come back to it.
"We expect the Port Mann will be the crossing of choice because it's going to be just so much faster and more efficient than it is now."
Crews have been phasing in use of the new span in stages.
Eastbound traffic has already been going over the new bridge since September and westbound traffic will switch over to two lanes on the new bridge on Nov. 17.
The final lanes to be opened on the new bridge in late 2013 will be for local traffic only. They'll allow drivers heading between Surrey and Coquitlam to travel on separate lanes without having to merge with the rest of the freeway traffic to cross the bridge.
Another change will see TransLink launch the Highway 1 RapidBus service over the Port Mann on Dec. 1.
It will run between the Carvolth park-and-ride in northwest Langley and Braid Street SkyTrain station in New Westminster – every 10 minutes at peak times and every 30 off peak.
But Bains said he's concerned passengers will be stranded in Langley because TransLink's planned service level may not meet demand.
With six buses an hour leaving Carvolth, he said, there will only be capacity for 350 passengers an hour at peak periods and less at off-peak times.
"We're trying to work within our means," TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said. "For now, this is what we are able to provide."

Did you know?
Hastings Ndlovu, a Soweto student leader, was the first person killed in the Soweto Uprising.
The Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto is a short distance from where police opened fire on students on 16 June 1976 during a protest against the introduction of Afrikaans as a language of instruction in township schools.
On the morning of Wednesday, 16 June, scholars in Soweto assembled in school grounds before beginning their march to Orlando Stadium where a protest against Afrikaans was to be held. On the way, not far from Phefeni Junior Secondary School on Vilikazi Street, schoolboy Hector Pieterson joined a group of several thousand scholars.
After a brief standoff, police opened fire and the photograph of a dying Hector Pieterson, cradled in the arms of a fellow student with his terrified sister running beside them, flashed around the world. This image, taken by news photographer Sam Nzima, became a symbol of the resistance against apartheid. Today, June 16 is commemorated as Youth Day in South Africa.
Events of that fateful day are remembered at the Hector Pieterson Museum, the premier heritage site in Soweto. Situated in Orlando West on Khumalo Street, it is a two-storey red brick building with a Hector Pieterson memorial on the grounds.
Inside, opposite the bookshop, is a garden of remembrance with the names of all those who died in the uprising inscribed on loose bricks.
On the walls of this museum in Soweto are enlarged photographs of the events of that day as they unfolded with extensive commentary together with audio-visual presentations.
From this Soweto museum it is a short walk along a tree-lined avenue to the fine restaurants and Mandela House national heritage site on Vilikazi Street.

A boy lies on his back on a boardroom table in a high-rise office block in Toyko. He pulls out his Nokia, takes a photo of the setting sun – upside down – and sends it to his girlfriend in New York, where dawn is breaking. "Now I know we share the same horizon," says the voiceover. "My sunset is your sunrise."
It's a brilliant Nokia ad – the sort of simple, well-executed idea that agencies charge six-figure sums for. Only this one wasn't made by an ad agency – it was made by Hiroki Ono, a 23-year-old film student from Yokohama, Japan, who'd never made an ad before. The film, "Feel the globe", took just two days to make. Read more

The Crap We Missed – Friday 11.8.13
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed which coincidentally happens to be a total sausage fest that is in no way related to the return of Jon Hamm's dickprint (although I do believe it has the gravitational pull of a planet) or the fact that Fish and I are going on a day date. Seriously, we talk about pussy the whole time, bro. It's so awesome and cool, female pussy, I just can't ever have enough of it. Amirite, Brett Ratner? What about you, Arnold Schwarzenegger shoving cash into a guy's face for a clear photo op that isn't blatantly exploitative or hush money for knocking up his wife? You know what I'm saying.

How do you Treat Toddler`s Dry, Flaky Scalp?
My 2-year old is constantly (VIGOROUSLY) scratching her scalp. Her pediatrician recommended using Selsun Blue no more than twice a week. I am currently using Selsun Blue naturals but find that her scalp still dries and flakes (usually white, sometimes yellow in color) if I only use it twice a week. What can I do? I`ve read that oiling the scalp may make matters worse, but if I don`t oil it, it dries and becomes flaky again. PLEASE HELP!
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Children's Health topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.

Ikea has become a retail byword for affordable, functional furniture - plain, cheerful items that millions of consumers the world over can't seem to resist.
But Ikea has become associated with something darker after admitting that at least some of its cupboards, chairs and other household products were produced by East German political prisoners.
A roomful of former prisoners watched - and then started to vent decades of anger - as the head of Ikea Germany, Peter Betzel, formally apologised for using prison labour in the 1970s and 1980s.
''We regret wholeheartedly that this happened,'' Mr Betzel said after the auditors Ernst and Young confirmed that Ikea managers knew of the practice. ''It is not, and never was, acceptable to Ikea that it should be selling products made by political prisoners and I would like to express my deepest regret for this to the victims and their families.''
Ikea insists that nothing comparable goes on today. But already questions of compensation are being raised that could cost the company dearly, not to mention the damage to its reputation in being seen to profit from people fighting for freedom.
Alexander Arnold was sent to prison at 22 for ''distributing anti-communist propaganda'' - handing out flyers containing poems by Bertolt Brecht and Hermann Hesse. He says he still has nightmares about the isolation cell where he was sent if he failed to keep up with the heavy workload.
Mr Arnold, now 51, made parts for office chairs. ''By the end of my 11-month sentence I knew every part of the process, from the rollers on the feet to the spine of the chair.''
He was also well aware that he and his fellow prisoners were working for Ikea. ''It was no secret. Their name was on the boxes which the products were packed into. I'm glad that Ikea is taking responsibility but I'm sorry it took someone other than Ikea to bring this to light.''
The Ernst and Young report said that while Ikea had had a policy of visiting production facilities to control working processes, access to East German suppliers had been restricted.
Dieter Ott, 49, a former prisoner from Naumburg who worked on a punch press making parts for Ikea cupboards and doors, asked why Ikea had not questioned why it was not allowed to visit workers.
''Did you not suspect something? And after all, you were working with a country that was separated from Sweden by a hulking great wall,'' Mr Ott said.
Mr Betzel said the company now had a strict system of checks and balances in place since 2000 and carried out more than 1000 control checks every year.

You may know her from her cameo in PSY's worldwide music video hit, "Gangnam Style," but this girl has a claim to a huge following of her own. Though a member of the girl group, 4minute, HyunA has become quite the successful solo artist. We're not surprised that Spin Magazine named her hit "Bubble Pop" as one of their Best 20 Songs of 2011.
With HyunA's recent comeback following her first "Troublemaker" duet with Beast's Hyunseung—which was forced to modify its original choreography for being too sexually suggestive—we had to include this number that has already been hit with a 19+ viewer rating in the Korean media. We give you a quick taste of her latest hit with this teaser video for "There is No Tomorrow (Now)."

Here is a sample that is to be taken "as is", as just a basic sample of how to make an AIR app that has a Form Guide in it that can share data with a PDF that is also in the AIR app. It was created by one of my collegues just to see if it could be done. It is not an officially support solution at this time, but numerous people are starting to build apps of this type. Please keep that in mind. You can retieve your Guide SWFs to use from the temporary Preview directory.
This is a Flex Builder 3.0.1 project zipped up.
NOTE: TOO MEET the USER LICENCE AGREEMENT for Guide Builder, you must use LiveCycle Forms Service to generate the Guide SWF. The use of the Designer Preview is for Development purposes only.
To get just the SWF returned (instead of the html with callbacks) from the normal LC FormGuide request add/set "cb=1" to the request.
The GAClientRuntime.swc and XFAModel.swc Library files can be found in LC Designer's install directory under plugins/GuideBuilder, the project will need to point there on your system.
