Sequin Sleeve Denim Jacket 1 1
Super cute & sparkly This jacket is super adorable for any girl who loves to sparkle like my daughter. I bought this for her and she loves it! The sleeves are very comfy. Inside of the sequined sleeves are a soft non-itchy cotton sleeve material. I love that it has a hood for rainy spring or fall days. The hood is also cotton lined so that it won't itch her face. Overall, I think it's very cute & versatile for getting plenty of use out of this jacket. July 19, 2014

OS X is the world's most advanced operating system, built upon a proven UNIX foundation and coupled with a GPU-accelerated desktop, intuitive networking services, and system-wide optimization for multicore CPUs. Along with the Xcode developer toolset, you have a powerful platform upon which to create engaging, innovative, and high-performance apps.
Cocoa Frameworks
Cocoa is an extremely productive high-level programming environment that gives you complete access to the full power of the operating system, including the signature Mac look and feel. Written in the dynamic Objective-C language, Cocoa provides exciting and animation-rich user experiences, but is easy to augment with your custom behaviors. With integrated support for the Model-View-Controller pattern, Cocoa provides a solid foundation for building state-of-the-art applications. With the Interface Builder tool, it is both easy and fun to drag-and-drop Cocoa controls to design your app's user interface. Learn more
Complete Access to the OS
OS X integrates a number of easy-to-use technologies that play a dual role as great applications and system services. By following some simple patterns, your application can work with those services to provide powerful features that can be used by other applications. Your application can be driven hands-free with Automator or AppleScript, be made accessible to a broad range of users through VoiceOver, and have documents searched quickly by Spotlight. Cocoa can also help integrate your app closely with the rest of the system, record snapshots of your documents via Time Machine, display content through iChat Theater, and share a common Address Book database.
Create Beautiful Apps
OS X is built around a powerful, integrated stack of graphics technologies, including Core Animation, AV Foundation, Core Image and OpenGL. Working together, these graphics frameworks make possible cutting-edge user interface features including 2D and 3D drawing, animation, and multimedia.
Take a cue from the Mac desktop: it uses Core Image to provide the translucent menu bar. The Dock uses Core Animation for the Stacks popup view, and the smooth animation you see when Dock items are re-arranged. You can use these same APIs and built-in effects to get that "wow" factor in your application — or create your own unique experiences.
Powerful Foundation
OS X provides outstanding stability and performance. Built for 64-bit applications and multi-core processors, OS X gives you some serious horsepower. The foundational engine and simple API of Grand Central Dispatch ensures your application makes best possible use of all available computing power, gaining speed without the complexity of thread programming. Building for 64-bit takes advantage of an optimized CPU instruction set and more registers, terabytes of address space, and the ability to use lots of physical RAM. Whether you write games, gene sequencing, advanced medical imaging, or geospatial applications, OS X has the stability and performance to make your app fly.

Northeastern to face BC for Beanpot title
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — Quinn Smith scored a pair of goals, Parker Milner stopped 19 shots, and three-time defending champion Boston College beat Harvard 4-1 in the Beanpot tournament on Monday night.
Matheson's one-timer past Girard from the right circle during a power play with 51 seconds left in the second made it 3-0.
The tournament pits the Boston area's four Division I hockey programs -- located just a few miles apart -- against each other annually on the first two Mondays in February.
BU got within 3-2 on Gill's goal with 71 seconds left. The Terriers pulled goalie Matt O'Connor for most of the final minute, but were unable to get any scoring chances.

Historically, GTK started in much the same way: it originates from GIMP as the widgets were fractured out into a library. Only Qt was conceived as a C++ GUI Tool Kit right from the start. Similarly, EFL originates from the Enlightenment developers who, after the original DE, decided they need to start from the libraries and work their way up.
Currently, all the libraries are now mostly capable separate entities that offer a whole suit of functionalities. e.g. They all have an internal threading approach\implementation. And they all abstract the native APIs completely so in principle it's possible to write cross platform applications.

Decanting is simply transferring the wine from the bottle to another container. Little understood and practiced by few, decanting, when done in a restaurant demonstrates to the patron a serious dedication to optimum wine service. When a wine is decanted it invariably attracts the attention of other patrons at neighboring tables. For the restaurateur, this could eventually mean an increase in wine sales.
At home it affords a great way for friends and family to increase their enjoyment of a wine after it has been decanted.
Many wine drinkers notice, it is only when the bottle is nearly finished that the wine seems to come into its own. It is simple. It takes time for a wine to react to contact with air. The swirling of wine in a glass hastens this action. For this reason wine glasses should only be half-filled. It is also why larger wine glasses are preferred.
Having been cooped up in a bottle for any number of years, a wine, especially an older wine, needs an opportunity to open up, to bloom, before it can reveal its fullest flavor and bouquet. Decanting is an accelerated form of letting a wine "breathe".
Strangely enough, young wines benefit greatly from decanting. The oxygen they contain has actually had little time to take effect. The air in the decanter achieves change rapidly. It means you get more of what you paid for and lets you enjoy literally twice as much bouquet and aroma from the wine.
Pouring is slow, continuous and steady. Decanting is not a difficult procedure.
Enjoy one of the most impressive phases of wine serving. Decant! To your health.

Grandparents 'brainwashing' has separated mother, daughter
Sunday, January 20, 2013
Dear Annie: My problem is my relationship with my daughter, "Carolyn." It started 10 years ago when she went to visit her grandparents in another state. My parents and I haven't had a close relationship since I was in my 20s. I am now 57.
Carolyn is now in her 30s and has been estranged from me for more than 10 years due to my parents' brainwashing. Since then, my life has changed dramatically. I've been quite ill, in and out of the hospital, and Carolyn has never inquired about my health. How can I reconnect with my daughter?
She also has no idea that driving has a lot of costs associated with it besides gasoline. I feel taken advantage of. Any ideas?
This girl with all the piercings is now a medical student, and the only piercings showing are the ones in her ears. Sometimes kids just have to go through this kind of fad.

Movies for Merriment
Worn out from all the holiday to-and-fro? Relax with a movie. The Library offers movies in DVD, as well as VHS, for borrowing, free. Features, classics, children's, tv series, documentaries--the collection includes them all. Check these out:
The Jane Austen Book Club
A group of six friends, in Sacramento, gather to distract themselves from loss - a newly dumped Sylvia, Prudie's repressed disappointment, or Jocelyn, who has a life of unrealized dreams. All are devoted Jane Austen fans, except the lone man, Grigg, who has an ulterior motive for joining the chick-lit gang. There's plenty of pride (Prudie), prejudice (Jocelyn), sense (Sylvia), and sensibility (Sylvia's daughter Allegra). Throw in a fair amount of persuasion. Relationships and alliances unfold over the months.
Roy Eberhardt has moved with his family so often he literally has lost count of the number of times he has had to change schools. Roy ought to be used to being the new kid at school by now, but making the switch from Montana to Florida proves to be a major challenge. While Roy quickly becomes the target of the school bully, he is befriended by Beatrice Leep, a spunky girl with enough nerve to stand up to Dana, and her brother Mullet Fingers. Beatrice and Mullet share a big secret with Roy: they have a hidden hideaway where they look after a flock of endangered owls. That is of little concern to Chuck Muckle, a top executive from the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House chain, who is planning to build a new restaurant in the hollow where the owls nest. The three kids are determined to find a way to save the owls and have a plan. They have uncovered evidence of some dirty doings tied in to the pancake house. Based on the book by Carl Hiassen. It's a hoot!
The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical, animated land and finds herself in reality--the gritty streets of modern-day Manhattan. Giselle, adrift in our chaotic world, is shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis. This place is badly in need of enchantment! But when she begins to fall in love with the charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
Fly Away Home
A 13-year old girl and her estranged father learn what family is all about when they adopt an orphaned flock of geese and teach them how to fly.
A musical portrait of American composer Cole Porter. The film imagines Porter looking back on his life as a stage show, with past memories taking shape as numbers in an elaborate and elegant musical accompanied by his songs. His personal history is illustrated by these performances, especially the complicated relationship with his wife, wealthy socialite Linda Lee Porter, who is shown as being the main inspiration for his work despite his extramarital affairs.
The Man in the Iron Mask
It is a time of both splendor and despair for the deeply divided French nation where the self-serving King Louis XIV enjoys the riches of the world while his people starve. Believing he is all-powerful, Louis fears no one -- except the one person who could bring an end to his absolute power: the man he condemned to wear an iron mask and imprisoned for life. But when the king's selfish excesses go too far, retired Musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis vow to free the mysterious prisoner who may be France's only hope for survival. Only one question remains: will their old comrade, the legendary d'Artagnan help them -- or destroy them?
Marley & Me
John and Jen are newly married journalists. Marley is the adopted puppy that no one wants, a high-strung lab who is virtually untrainable. Marley shreds cushions, destroys floors and walls and most everything in between. Instead of taking him to the pound, John and Jen love their dog and he faithfully loves them in return. The family grows, moves, and changes, but Marley remains the constant. Based on the memoir of Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Grogan about life with his yellow Labrador retriever.
Stomp Live, Stomp Out Loud
A combination of percussion; movement; and visual comedy, Stomp can make music out of anything; anytime; anywhere. See them live in one of the most successful stage shows of all time. Bonus features: interview with Stomp creators, Stomp tour previews, behind the scenes footage, history of Stomp, performer bios.
Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory
A little boy is abandoned by his parents and raised by some older unmarried cousins, where he develops a close bond with one of the ladies. When he is urged to move on with his life by one of them, he never forgets the memories of his favorite friend.
It's A Wonderful Life
In this classic Christmas movie starring Jimmy Stewart, George Bailey, a desperate and suicidal man, is visited by a guardian angel who shows him how important he has been to those around him in his life. Make this one part of your annual holiday ritual.
The movie collection rotates among the libraries in Bluefield, Richlands, and Tazewell. You don't have to wait for the collection to rotate to view movies of interest, however; you may request a movie in any collection to be delivered to the branch nearest you. You may borrow two DVDs and/or three videos for seven days, and may renew them once.
For all these and many more, visit your Library at www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541.

There are times when it truly pays to preach to the choir. An in-house newsletter dedicated to your customers, which showcases your services, retail and talent, is the perfect case in mind! So start preaching...
At Akari, we find newsletters to be one of the best ways in which to share new information and excite clients into participating in our future growth. The newsletter is displayed throughout the salon and clients are encouraged to take one with them.
Involve your team in the production of your newsletter and you will be surprised with the talent, themes and ideas they come up with. Here are some reasons as to why you should consider publishing one issue, at least every three months:
· It is one of the most cost-effective ways to impart information to your customers.
· It sets the tone of conversation with customers and opens the dialogue with their service providers.
· Customers are naturally inquisitive and easily ask questions on the subjects they are reading.
· It's an effective way to help launch new services, products, protocols, points programs, etc.
· It supplements your web and social media presence.
· Encourages new and established service providers to write articles. These articles help establish their credibility and provide another venue for referrals, as well as attracting new customers.
· Articles can cover trends, styles, color, services, events and other promos.
· Photo shoots can also play an important role in showcasing your promotions.
· It's a great way to feature your top clients and their interests.
· A newsletter creates a team project that service providers can work on during down time, including participation in a photo shoot.
· It keeps moral up, showcases your team's talents and keeps clients invested.
When contemplating how to start here are some tips...
· Start with quality not quantity. Our first newsletter was a black white single page. We now publish bi-monthly in color and are up to 16 pages and growing.
· Commit to having at least a holiday / winter issue, as well as spring, summer and fall.
· Once you have an established a routine, work on expanding content.
· Topics can include, weddings, men's services, new treatments, staff training and outside education, employee of the month, expansions, new team members and their backgrounds, any team celebrations / successes, etc.
· Partner and feature with other local retailers, and they in-turn will refer new clients.
· Have your vendors supply you with copy and photos of new products.
· Create a yearly format, and have a plan in place as to topics to be covered in every issue. Try planning three to four issues ahead.
· Inform your team and delegate articles well ahead of dateline, stay on top of their progress and let them know that there is support available to help them pull their stories together.
· There are many computer programs available on graphic design that are user friendly, ask around. Get some of your clients involved.
· Make sure all your work is proofread multiple times before publishing.
Newsletters along with customer testimonials, referrals, points, email blasts and other in house programs, cost next to nothing to produce, yet are some of the best tools available in reaching out to your base. Your team will also benefit greatly from seeing their work featured and photo shoots published. It earns them credibility and raises everyone's self-esteem.

On this extraordinary journey, discover ancient traditions, tranquil temples, authentic cuisine, and cosmopolitan cities.

Phoronix: KDE 4.1.2 Released, Deletes Files Faster
KDE 4.1.2 is now available as another monthly point update for the KDE 4.1 code-base. This release contains several enhancements to this desktop environment, among which is the new JavaScript bytecode interpreter "Frostbyte" for KHTML, Kopete fixes, KGpg fixes, and the delete file operation has been sped up by approximately 32 times...
The best just got better
What the... I thought Phoronix was being silly in reporting the faster file deletion. But checking the official kde site, they really do list that as a top feature!
even if that's the case, it means several things - deleting files was 32 times slower before, and/or their PR has no idea what are they doing
Time to update my KDE box . But the thing still has a long ways to go before I can confidently get rid of my KDE3 install.
Either way it isn't so much a new feature, more of a bugfix
KDE is every day (month) better. Can't wait to see the stable KDE 4.2
I think KDE still has a long way to go if KDE4 needs to reimplement the same old features that KDE3 had.
For example, a top future that was missed in KDE 4 was the panel auto hiding, now (since 4.1.1 I think) it is possible.
Also when KDE 3 came out, it was not complete.
The same happens all the time...
Wow, autopanel hiding and x32 time improvement in deleting files! This thing really rocks, I can't wait to install it! Only for the sake of it, I think I'll be constantly deleting random stuff to enjoy the new benefits.
Keep up the good work.

Phoenix, AZ — A recent survey commissioned by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distilled spirits producers, revealed that nearly half of all mothers think underage drinking is acceptable under some circumstances. The survey found that mothers of teenage daughters underestimate the occurrence of underage drinking among their own daughters and misjudge the seriousness of the issue. To address this gap in knowledge of the prevalence of underage drinking in Arizona, Secretary of State Jan Brewer; Nancy Augustinyak, US Women's Soccer Team; Sergeant Wes Kuhl, PIO, Arizona Department of Liquor; Bill Weigele, President, Arizona Licensed Beverage Association; Sergeant Robert Smedes, Phoenix Police Department; and Paul Lester, Coach, Sereno Soccer Club; joined Ralph Blackman, President and CEO, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility; and Lisa Graham Keegan, Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility Board Member and CEO of the Western Academy of Virtual Education, at Brophy Prep today to launch Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking. Significant survey findings include the following: Mothers significantly underestimate daughter's experience with alcohol • 16% of 13-15 year old girls say they drink with friends, only 5% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking; • 30% of 16-18 year old girls say they drink with friends, only 9% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking; • 51% of 19-21 year old girls say they drink with friends and only 32% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking. Alarmingly, mothers say underage drinking is acceptable • Nearly half (49%) of mothers of teenage girls say it is okay for their daughters to drink; • 38% of mothers say it is okay for their daughters to drink on special occasions; • 21% of mothers say it is okay to drink under parental supervision at home; • 20% of mothers say drinking alcohol is a natural part of growing up. "These data show that mothers start out viewing underage alcohol consumption as a serious problem, yet as their daughters grow older mothers switch their message from "don't do it" to "be safe"; this illustrates a disturbing misperception among moms about the seriousness of problems associated with alcohol consumption by their teenage daughters," said Secretary of State Brewer. "By making Girl Talk available to high school principals across Arizona, I hope to encourage moms to have conversations with their teenage daughters about the negative effects and dangers of underage drinking." 71% of Girls Think Health Consequences Serious When asked how serious they thought health risks were for teens that drink, 71% of the girls polled stated that they believe the health risks associated with drinking are serious. Putting a finer point on their concerns, the research also uncovered "the five strongest health-consequences that would keep teens from drinking alcohol" according to survey responses of teenage girls ages 13-18. Among the health consequences they identified are the following: Alcohol poisoning/overdose 64% Rape 63% Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)/HIV-AIDS 52% Unsafe/unplanned sex 52% Harm to mental development 39% Hangover 37% Pregnancy 45% Suicide 35% Harm to physical development 27% Vomiting 28% Weight gain or weight loss 28% Sergeant Kuhl added, "The Arizona Department of Liquor supports all programs, including 'Girl Talk' that educates parents and youths about the dangers of underage drinking. The Department's number one priority is to reduce sales of alcohol to minors and anything that enhances communication about the negative effects of alcohol is a positive step in the right direction." Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking In the face of these data, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking to improve dialogue among mothers and daughters. Developed in partnership with the Society for Women's Health Research and the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Girl Talk will help mothers initiate and sustain conversations about alcohol. "Daughters report these conversations should continue through high school when, as the data show, underage consumption of alcohol increases. Sadly, many mothers appear not to be initiating these conversations. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is working to address that problem," said Keegan, Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility Advisory Board Member. "I am proud to bring this program to my home state of Arizona to keep Arizona's young girls safe and alcohol-free." Girl Talk utilizes the data gleaned from the survey including those health consequences of most concern to the girls. Girl Talk also highlights the daughters' advice to their moms regarding talking about underage drinking. Girls participating in the survey responded that: • Moms must be approachable, able to keep an open mind and must not lecture or overreact — "just because I am asking about alcohol does not mean I am drinking alcohol." • Moms: Keep the conversation real and personal by telling about your own personal and real-life experiences, choices and consequences, and if you don't want to talk about yourself, share the experiences of people you know. • Be my parent, not my friend. Share your values and set the rules and discuss the social risks of underage drinking beyond just drunk driving. "According to the 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (SAMHSA), nearly 19% of 12-17 year olds (boys and girls) reported past month alcohol consumption in Arizona, an increase of nearly 10% since 2000," said Sergeant Smedes, Phoenix Police Department. "The entire community must make an effort to fight underage drinking." The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has developed a comprehensive program tailored specifically for mothers and daughters including: • A website, www.girlsanddrinking.org, for mothers and daughters with additional information on how to have the underage drinking conversation and links to additional national and local resources related to underage drinking. • Booklets for mothers, detailing how to begin the conversation, sustain the conversation and have an impact as well as information explaining the facts about alcohol, and addressing issues such as peer pressure and creative ways to say "no" to alcohol. • A Blog, hosted by the Society for Women's Health, for moms and daughters to discuss their experiences and connect with others on this issue. The Blog will be available in late January of 2006. • A media partnership with The N, a nighttime network for teens to further build public awareness among young women about the dangers of underage drinking including sponsorship this week of episodes of Degrassi a critically acclaimed teen drama that follows a group of 10th and 11th graders at Degrassi Community School as they deal with the trials and tribulations of adolescence which feature underage drinking themes. "We look forward to helping to facilitate the distribution of materials and messages related to this important project," said Coach Lester. "It is important that our players are in top athletic shape on the soccer field. Alcohol is not part of this lifestyle — it is illegal and irresponsible for our young girls to drink alcohol." Additionally, the US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association will partner with The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility on this initiative. The National Soccer Team Players Association will endorse Girl Talk through personal appearances at functions and schools, in print and online media, public service announcements and other integrated marketing initiatives. Through its official fan club alone, The Ponytail Posse, the US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association has the potential to reach millions of girls around the world. "Girls need to be informed of the toll that underage drinking can take not only on their health but also on their grades and reputations. Myself and my teammates want all of the young girls out there who look up to us as role models to know that underage drinking is wrong and it's something they need to talk about with their mothers," said Nancy Augustinyak. About the Surveys The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility commissioned Teenage Research Unlimited (TRU) to conduct a comprehensive research project to better understand the dynamics of underage drinking among mothers and daughters. TRU fielded a study April 2005 among a national on-line sample - a total of 875 respondents (496 daughters and 379 mothers, 322 of the matching) completed the questionnaire. Quotas were set to ensure that a representative number of daughters (and mothers) from each of the following age segments completed the survey: 13-15 year olds, 16-18 year olds, and 19-20 years olds. The mother-daughter results presented here reflect the matched mother and daughter data collected. TRU conducted an additional self-administered online omnibus survey, OmnibuzzTM, among 802 13 to 18 year olds in August 2005. The data were weighted for key demographic variables (gender, age, ethnicity, parent education, region and community-type of place of school) to reflect the national population. The margin of error for both survey samples at the 95 percent confidence level is + 3 percentage points. That is, if this survey were to be replicated 100 times, in 95 instances the results would be within three percentage points of the data reported here. The Society for Women's Health Research The Society for Women's Health Research is the nation's only non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the health of all women through research, education and advocacy. Founded in 1990, the Society brought to national attention the need for the appropriate inclusion of women in major medical research studies and the need for more information about conditions affecting women disproportionately, predominately, or differently than men. The Society advocates increased funding for research on women's health; encourages the study of sex differences that may affect the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease; promotes the inclusion of women in medical research studies; and informs women, providers, policy makers and media about contemporary women's health issues. Visit the Society's website at www.womenshealthresearch.org for more information. US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association The US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association was created after the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup to represent all the players that comprise the US Women's National Soccer Team, and give the US Soccer Federation the assurance that the new Uniform Player Agreement and Collective Bargaining Agreement would govern its relationship with the players through the 2004 Olympics. The Association has primarily functioned as a representation and negotiating body, and is now making greater efforts to promote its constituent players.

Awesome wig
By UtahRed
from Salt Lake City
Great wig. Looks natural, hair looks real, fits well although it might be too small for bigger heads. Color is great. Comes really long so you can cut it to desired length. I'm really impressed with this wig. Doesn't look wiggy. It has a good sheen. Feels like real hair.

Lovely feel!
By Linda
from Homer, NY
I love the feel of this hair. Wonderful! It does curl as they say which is a huge plus. A lot more length than I expected but had her cut down and she is fine for me now.I plan to buy another in the fairly near future in a slightly lighter shade or with a little grey in it. I think it is perfect out of the box or for having it cut to how you like because the texture is so life like and silky. I will post pics of long and after I cut it.

Softest hair ever!
I am 65 and with the awful hair loss from menopause and then last fall because of surgery I was really bummed. BUT - I love the feel of this hair! It is the hair I never had. I have two other wigs. One is shorter and one is med length. I am now really in love with this wig. It makes me feel so young and , well, pretty! And I love it that I can curl it. Haven't tried yet but will be. It will be fun playing with styles with this one! My hubby really likes it, too! HUGE PLUS!It lays beautifully and I will say again feels soooo silky and moves so naturally! Thank you so much!
Right out of the box but pulled up on the side.
Back with sides pulled up.

Sounds good, should finally provide usable OSS drivers to people running on ATI hardware.
Phoronix: X-Video, EXA Coming Atop Gallium3D
The Gallium3D driver infrastructure has been about writing a graphics processor driver that is more manageable and efficient by allowing state trackers (that provide features like OpenGL ES and OpenVG support) to be run on any driver that implements this unified API, complete with hardware acceleration. As implied by its name, Gallium3D was started with 3D graphics in mind, but this infrastructure is also working out for non-3D-specific state trackers, like supporting OpenCL...
Sounds good, should finally provide usable OSS drivers to people running on ATI hardware.
Excellent news - thanks to all involved!
Sounds so good. Thanks guys for the work!
Does someone have an estimated date for Gallium3D to be integrated in ATI OSS driver ?
The significance of this as far as I know seems to be though that if/when the Gallium xorg state tracker will be usable and KMS matures, there will no longer be a need for xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd since the xorg state tracker pretty much *is* an X display driver.
Yes. This sort of thing is needed to remove X from dealing with hardware. Ultimately you should be able to access all acceleration features without X... That is X becomes just another application.
Right now with most systems X.org server is out there accessing PCI devices and fiddling around with your hardware outside of the control of the Linux kernel. This is bad, mmmkay?
Also Gallium should provide much needed consistency between drivers. That is when currently using Linux the APIs and features that drivers support vary widely between devices. Some devices work best with XAA. Some devices only support OpenGL 1.2 and such while proprietary drivers can provide up to the latest OpenGL standards. That sort of thing. With Gallium everything should be supported across the board in a much more even fashion making it much easier and cheaper to develop games and do other multimedia stuff for Linux.
Very cool and Very needed.

Dr. Beliveau has been trained in two medical specialties.
Orthopedic surgery is a medical specialty focused on the repair of any part of the musculoskeletal system. Although the name identifies the specialty as being surgical, not all procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons involve actual surgical procedures or operations. Because the musculoskeletal system is comprised of the muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and bones, there are many different complications and injuries that an orthopedic surgeon may treat.
Orthopedic surgeons may be consulted after a patient has received an injury resulting from spine disorders, hip disorders, musculoskeletal tumors, sports injuries, hand and arm disorders, foot and ankle disorders, limb deformities, congenital disorders and cerebral palsy, among many others. Some of the most common procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons include knee arthroscopy, shoulder arthroscopy, carpal tunnel release, removal of support implants, hip replacement, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and repair of the rotator cuff tendon, among many others.
Orthopedic surgeons not only operate on and treat patients, but they are also often involved in diagnostic procedures and related care. When crafting a treatment plan, either surgical or non-surgical, orthopedic surgeons must take into account any impending side effects of the procedure, as well as the time and effort of rehabilitation therapy that will need to take place, among other factors. Orthopedic surgeons are also trained to educate patients on the prevention of injury and the treatment they are receiving, as well as any diet and lifestyle changes that may be able to assist in recovery or the prevention of further injury.

Sports medicine is a medical specialty that encompasses the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of injuries or disorders relating to sports and physical activities. Physicians that practice in the area of sports medicine are often referred to as sports medicine specialists. Many types of physicians can practice sports medicine, including orthopedists, psychiatrists and primary care sports medicine physicians.
When a patient sustains an injury while playing sports, or has a condition that affects their performance in physical activity, they are often referred to a sports medicine specialist who has specialized knowledge in the treatment of these types of injuries. The spectrum of care provided by sports medicine specialists is quite wide – it can encompass injuries such as muscle strains and tears, sprains, dislocations, concussions, injuries to tendons and ligaments, fractures, injuries to cartilage, tendinitis, asthma, overuse injuries, heat-related illnesses and nutritional issues, among others.
Sports medicine specialists may be employed in a wide range of settings. For example, these physicians may provide care as part of a private practice (often as part of an orthopedic practice), where adolescents and young adults who play sports may receive treatment for any injuries they may sustain. In other cases, professional sports teams and colleges may employ a sports medicine specialist full time to care for members of the team both on and off the field. These specialists may also be found providing care in hospitals.

Perhaps a previously fashion-forward coworker has taken to wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants in warm weather. Or a once outgoing student has become withdrawn, sullen and even combative on the playground. Maybe a client shows up for a haircut appointment wearing a hat, underneath which there are clear signs clumps of her hair have been yanked from her scalp. Or perhaps thereŌĆÖs been constant yelling and sounds of things breaking from the apartment or house next door ever since that seemingly loving couple moved in.
Are these indications of something sinister happening beneath the surface, or just friends and acquaintances going through rough patches? Should something be said ŌĆō a helping hand offered ŌĆō or is the most polite course of action to carry on as if nothing is amiss, lest anyone involved feel embarrassed?
These are agonizing questions for sure, each with myriad implications, but the bottom line, according to the Inyo County Domestic Violence Council, is that minding oneŌĆÖs business should no longer be an option any type of relationship or family violence and abuse is suspected.
ŌĆ£One of the biggest concerns we hear is from people who know their friendŌĆÖs in trouble but they donŌĆÖt know how to bring it up, or donŌĆÖt want to bring it up,ŌĆØ said ICDVC member and Assistant Court Executive Officer Virginia Bird.
According to Bird, taking a stand against domestic violence will take the efforts of the entire community, but first residents must know what to look for and what to do with that information.
To better help community members recognize the signs of domestic violence and ŌĆō just as important ŌĆō the dynamics involved ŌĆō the ICDVC welcomes anyone and everyone to its latest day-long symposium on the topic, starting at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 13 in the Tri-County FairgroundsŌĆÖ Charles Brown Auditorium.
As with similar symposiums hosted by the ICDVC (past topics have included bullying, teen relationship abuse, the correlation between substance abuse and interpersonal violence and factors contributing to the lethality of domestic violence), the council has brought in nationally respected experts with first-hand experience on the front lines of domestic violence.
One of this yearŌĆÖs speakers is Sarah Buel, a clinical professor at Arizona State UniversityŌĆÖs Sandra Day OŌĆÖConnor College of Law who is also a former prosecutor in addition to being a survivor of family violence herself.
Inyo County Superior Court Judge Dean Stout, also a member of the ICDVC in addition to the local Foster Care Commission, Addictions Task Force, ChildrenŌĆÖs Services Council and a host of similar, state-level groups, is particularly excited to have Buel on board.
Stout said he heard Buel speak at a conference to hundreds of judges from around the state, ŌĆ£and you could hear a pin drop. She makes no bones about telling us what we should be doing better.ŌĆØ
He noted that while past symposiums were devoted to certain aspects of domestic violence, the 2011 event will take a broader, more comprehensive approach thanks in large part to BuelŌĆÖs knowledge, experience and speaking ability.
ŌĆ£Not only is her own story very moving and inspirational, but she has an amazing ability to provide practical information to a diverse audience,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Ron Overholt, CaliforniaŌĆÖs interim director of the Administrative Office of the Courts, and Christine Patton, interim assistant director, will be coming to Bishop to hear her speak.
Also expected to be in attendance on Thursday are members of the mental health community (therapists, counselors, psychologists, et al), advocacy groups (Wild Iris, La Causa), court staff (clerks, bailiffs, receptionists, etc.) law enforcement, members of the legal community (prosecutors, public defenders, mediators), members of the health care field (physicians, nurses, doctorŌĆÖs office receptionists, paramedics), child care workers and advocates, members of the faith community, and caregivers of the elderly.
Bird said casting as wide a net as possible among the professional community is crucial since domestic violence is such a pervasive problem.
Educating the aging population, for example, is important since ŌĆ£domestic violence doesnŌĆÖt stop just because someone becomes elderly,ŌĆØ she said.
The professionals, first responders and advocates listed above are attending of their own volition or at the behest of their supervisors in what has become an ongoing effort to educate those in a position to help victims of domestic violence about the dynamics of the issue.
And whether itŌĆÖs bullying, teen dating violence or family violence, Stout said it all boils down to the abuser seeking power and control over his or her victim.
With that power and control comes dominance, leaving the victim in a subservient position to his or her abuser. And with this subservience can come dependence upon the abuser ŌĆō emotional, financial, mental, even physical.
Stout sees it first-hand every day.
ŌĆ£As a judge I see the effects of domestic violence day in, day out,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Domestic violence is not limited to criminal cases, or domestic violence restraining order cases, but it also raises its ugly head in guardianship, family law, juvenile dependency, juvenile delinquency and other cases.
ŌĆ£I have come to see just how pervasive domestic violence is in our community, and the devastating effects it can have on our children,ŌĆØ Stout said.
According to Stout, research has shown that children raised in homes where domestic violence is occurring suffer from significant development problems ŌĆō including impaired neurological development.
ŌĆ£Their brains donŌĆÖt develop like those of children in loving, supportive, violence-free environments,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Brain scans have shown, for example, that children from abusive homes do not develop ŌĆ£baseŌĆØ skills such as the ability to reason and analyze. The impairment can go much farther.
Poor impulse control and their own tendencies to act out of anger set the domestic violence cycle in motion for a new generation.
ŌĆ£Kids are like concrete ŌĆō whatever theyŌĆÖre exposed to sticks,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Stout must be vigilant in his own courtroom when it comes to recognizing the signs of domestic violence. He said child custody cases, for example, can be deceptive based on outside appearances if domestic violence is an issue in the home. The child may cling to the father, who by all outward appearances is the more responsible and emotionally stable of the two adults seeking custody, but the child could be trying to curry the fatherŌĆÖs favor in an attempt to prevent further abuse of his mother.
Court staff, meanwhile, are constantly trained in how to properly ŌĆō i.e. compassionately ŌĆō deal with victims of domestic violence who appear before them to have restraining orders and emergency protective orders dismissed.
According to Stout, staff must inform the victim that the dismissal is being done without prejudice, meaning the victim can always re-file; the victim is asked if he or she is rescinding of their own free will; and the victim is encouraged to talk to someone in Victim-Witness before leaving.
Essentially, Stout wants court staff to let victims know they are welcome back any time, that they know help is out there, and that the court is available to them without judgement ŌĆō no matter what.
Stout said that, as counterintuitive as the reasons for staying with an abusive partner may seem to anyone in a healthy relationship, passing judgment on the abused will only make her that much more hesitant to seek help the next time she tries to leave the relationship.
ŌĆ£When you understand the dynamics, you understand why the victim doesnŌĆÖt leave,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Accused abusers have been known to ŌĆ£plop right downŌĆØ in the chair next to their alleged victims in the courtroom, even in the presence of support staff from Wild Iris, in attempts to intimidate their partners. Bailiffs have been trained to watch for this behavior.
Understanding the power and control dynamic, Stout said, is the first key to ultimately helping the victim, whether that help is calling the police when you hear glass breaking in the apartment upstairs or keeping exasperated eye-rolling at bay when she refuses to press charges.
Stopping domestic violence, Stout said, is not about empowering the victim ŌĆō who might feel blamed and thus victimized all over again at the suggestion she enroll in counseling ŌĆō but rather appropriately empowering those Stout calls ŌĆ£bystanders.ŌĆØ
And like most attempts to affect social change, this type of empowerment must start with education.
ŌĆ£With this symposium weŌĆÖre trying to educate the community about what they can do,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Echoing BirdŌĆÖs sentiments about the pervasive, insidious nature of family violence, and its presence everywhere in the community, among every demographic, Stout conceded that any effort to stop domestic violence in a community cannot be successful without full community participation.
ŌĆ£Domestic violence is not limited by social, economic and ethnic lines,ŌĆØ he said.
ŌĆ£You donŌĆÖt have to be involved in the justice system, faith community or treatment community to benefit from Professor BuelŌĆÖs experience, knowledge and wisdom,ŌĆØ Stout continued. ŌĆ£She has important words for all of us.ŌĆØ
Empathy-building, not just in relation to the victim but to all those who deal with domestic violence, is just as critical as education, Stout said.
The symposium presents an opportunity for everyone in attendance to gain a better understanding of their experiences in dealing with domestic violence ŌĆō from the police officers who respond to the 911 calls in the middle of the night (statistically some of the most dangerous for law enforcement personnel), to the therapists working with victims and abusers, to the district attorneys whose job it is to prosecute abuse cases.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs important for everybody to understand everybody elseŌĆÖs role in intervening in domestic violence,ŌĆØ Stout said.
Helping to expand attendeesŌĆÖ views along these lines will be additional symposium speakers Mike Agnew, retired detective with the Fresno Police Department, and the Honorable Len Edwards, retired judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court.
According to Stout, EdwardsŌĆÖ ŌĆ£judicial leadership and passion for improving the juvenile justice system to enhance the safety and well-being of children and families is unequaled.ŌĆØ Edwards has been named Judge of the Year by the U.S. Supreme Court in recognition of his work.
Agnew is a recognized expert on domestic violence and has provided related training to law enforcement personnel throughout California.
ŌĆ£Like Professor Buel Judge Edwards, Detective Agnew has important information, not just for law enforcement, but for all of us to hear,ŌĆØ Stout said.
The ICDVC is still accepting and encouraging registration for the Oct. 13 symposium. Forms can be obtained online at http://wild-iris.org/index.php or by contacting Virginia Bird at (760) 873-5217 or email@example.com.
