Big thanks to everyone who made this happen!
Why not focussing solely on Gallium? Why classic Mesa? Is it just to hack at will to learn and then implement a clean Gallium driver afterwards?
Phoronix: The ATI Evergreen Mesa Code Has Now Landed
Nearly two hours ago we shared the news that there's finally open-source 2D/3D/video acceleration for ATI's Radeon HD 5000 "Evergreen" family of graphics processors, which is currently the newest and best consumer-grade GPUs from AMD's GPG unit. At the time though only the xf86-video-ati DDX driver code was publicly pushed into a branch of the driver, but now the 3D portion of the code has publicly landed...
Big thanks to everyone who made this happen!
Why not focussing solely on Gallium? Why classic Mesa? Is it just to hack at will to learn and then implement a clean Gallium driver afterwards?
Good work!
Time to get a HD5xxx card, then
The r600g code has made great progress in the last couple of months so as long as :
(a) EG gets working quickly on r600g and
(b) we are reasonably confident that r600g will be in a condition that distros will start using it "not much later than the time we could get the next generation HW running on classic mesa HW drivers"
...then I think we should just implement the next gen HW support on Gallium3D.
Point (a) seems to be under control - by the time I got home from work last night MostAwesomeDude was already looking into getting EG running on r600g (!!), and point (b) *seems* OK (ie there seems to be enough community effort going into r600g that it will become production-ready soon enough) so I *think* we're OK with going Gallium3D-only for the next generation.
Fingers crossed.
I think it's more like "plan emerged a little further from the mist" than "plan changed"
Not that I'm complaining. Putting Evergreen into r600g probably removes this problem discussed earlier which had to do with having to fix problems in two places because of having two nearly identical Gallium drivers.
A good buy my new ati card
Do we have sales stats, is there a spike starting today?

Here they are, tartelettes, my weekly new music picks! So download, plug in and start your weekend right!
Animal Kingdom, "Strange Attractor"
Three man band Animal Kingdom took a while to grow on me but after I heard this song I was hooked. This track is currently on repeat in my car — I'm obsessed with the song's unique, mellow sound.
Walk The Moon, "Anna Sun"
Walk the Moon is an indie-rock band based in Cincinnati, OH. and while I love the whole album, this song is just plain awesome. Haven't downloaded it yet> Then I feel bad for your iPod. If you really loved your iPod, you would add it.
The Black Keys , "Gold On The Ceiling"
If you keep up with my playlists, you already know I love the Black Keys, and you should too because, very simply, they rock. The guitar sound is incendiary (I totally stole that line from Almost Famous) but really, they just straight up rock.
The Shins , "Simple Song"
I first heard the Shins on the Garden State soundtrack — it was love at first listen. This innovative band continues to release fresh, uplifting music that just makes you feel good, kinda like puppies or red, white, and blue ice pops.
Sleigh Bells, "Rill Rill"
Based in Brooklyn, dynamic duo Derek Edward Miller and Alexis Krauss have awesome chemistry and an artsy, kick a** sound. Download this track…..like now!

|Heat Kernels of Lorentz Cones
We obtain an explicit formula for heat kernels of Lorentz cones, a family of classical symmetric cones. By this formula, the heat kernel of a Lorentz cone is expressed by a function of time $t$ and two eigenvalues of an element in the cone. We obtain also upper and lower bounds for the heat kernels of Lorentz cones.

Are we supposed to laugh or weep at these childish PR predictions.. plus their own OS.. they're as usually out of touch with reality. I hated Unity now I think it was a good idea.
Phoronix: GNOME 4.0, GNOME OS Coming In 2014 & Other Crazy Plans
While some GNOME developers and users see the once fledging desktop environment fading into abyss, other GNOME developers see nothing but GNOME getting better with the best yet to come. It's been called for this week from GUADEC that GNOME 4.0 to be released in March of 2014 along with GNOME OS. That's not all of their ambitious plans but they think they can gain a 20% market-share by 2020 and they also have some other plans on their agenda...
Are we supposed to laugh or weep at these childish PR predictions.. plus their own OS.. they're as usually out of touch with reality. I hated Unity now I think it was a good idea.
I like the idea of Gnome OS distribution at least. I can see that there are benefits of having full control over the entire stack and focusing on single desktop environment. I doubt that it will get much traction though and it will never have 20% market share even if everything went perfectly.
The 20x20 slide was obviously a joke... sigh at another Phoronix GNOME article.
What I find funniest about this is that despite the major criticism of gnome 3 being that it looks too much like a smartphone interface, and at the same time it wouldnt work for a smartphone, the gnome 3 are still targetting the mobile phone space, despite the fact that no major mobile phone runs gnome 3 (or X11 linux for that matter), and even if they did, the programs will not be optimized for use on a phone.
They truly lack a sense of direction, in my opinion
Gnome OS! I love that thinking.
I thought somethink like that before I read the slides, so why do you say they are not in touch with the reality, they even dont belive that their plans are realistik but they think that its better to have big plans and realize only a port of it instead having only small plans.Make no little plans.
They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized.
Daniel Burnham
So maybe you did not read the slides carefully or you just want to flame them...
and naturaly most of the readers of your text did not read the slides so they just belive this...
dont like that methods...
Really wish some developers would rally around Qt 5 and make an alternative to KDE. I'm tired of Gnome 3 and I dislike all the other GTK attempts to go back in time like Mate.
Despite the rocky start I think KDE and Unity are the best bets moving forward. However, now that Qt is LGPL(has been for a long time) and has an open governance model, I really would like to see a desktop environment take it seriously other than KDE.
The "more focus on mobile" was what I was referring toAs a plan, they want more GNOME 3, more focus on mobile, and GNOME as an operating system / Linux distribution.
Though if it's not in the slides, then I guess I'm mistaken... but gnome 3 really does feel like theyre trying too much to focus on getting a smartphone-style experience on the desktop (which doesnt work)

Bruce Springsteen Taps Tom Morello To Sit In For Steve Van Zandt In Australia
Friday, January 18, 2013
Guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine will fill in for Steve Van Zandt during Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's Australian tour. Rolling Stone reported that Van Zandt will be previously engaged shooting his Netflix series, Lillyhammer, and Morello will sub during the nine-date trek, which kicks off on March 14th in Boondall, Australia. Van Zandt will be back on board on April 29th when the tour hits Fornebu, Norway.
Morello and Springsteen have had an active recent history, with Morello often popping up at Springsteen gigs and playing incendiary solos on Springsteen's 1995 classic 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad" -- which Rage Against the Machine covered in 2000. Most recently Morello was featured on two Wrecking Ball cuts, "Jack of All Trades" and "This Depression," as well as sitting in with Springsteen during his most recent appearance on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and at "The Boss'" March appearance in Austin the night of his keynote address at South By Southwest. Morello will be among the musicians paying tribute to Springsteen on February 8th, when he's honored as the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year in L.A.
Bruce Springsteen makes no bones about the importance and luxury of performing live for his fans on any given night: "The level of responsibility, to be living in the moment at that time when eight o'clock comes around, or whatever. And I got a real strong desire to do it (laughs) because I've gotten so much out of it and it's meant so much to me and it was really my 'life rope,' when I was young, before I was could let other things in my life. Y'know, it kept me afloat."

How to Select
How to select a thermostat
Installing a thermostat in your house helps you control the energy usage of all electric devices and also save money spent on electricity bills. When selecting a thermostat, you should consider many factors and characteristics that will help you create a more comfortable environment in your home.
The first thing you need to consider when selecting a thermostat is the type of your heating or cooling system. The most common types of heating systems operate on natural gas, oil or electricity. You need to make sure the thermostat that you are about to purchase is compatible with the system and the devices installed in your home.
The types of thermostats that exist today can be categorized according to the operation method they provide. Here are the most common types:
- Manual or mechanical thermostats. These are the oldest thermostats that exist. This type is perfect for people who are always present at home and can adjust the temperature of the device whenever they need or want. If you are leaving home frequently, you might want to select a different type of thermostat that will control the system when you are not around.
- Learning thermostats. These are the modern types of programmable thermostats that can learn and adjust their operation mode as you use them. What it means is that you do not have to actually program them, since they will select a perfect operating mode after a few manual adjustments. Learning thermostats can do such things as turn the devices off when you leave the house and turn them back on when you come back, adjust the operation to a more energy efficient mode and even provide you with monthly energy reports.
- Remote energy management thermostats. Such a type allows you to program, adjust and monitor your thermostats via a smartphone or computer. This is really helpful if you want to always know what is going on with the heating or cooling system of your house. In addition to that, you can select a special energy efficient operating mode for the entire heating system of your house by clicking a few buttons.
- Programmable thermostats. This thermostat type can be programmed to automatically adjust the desired temperature during different time of the day. For example, you might want your room to be warmer at night and cooler by noon and this is exactly what a programmable thermostat will do for you.
- Non-programmable thermostat. This type of thermostats provides manual operation and differs from the manual devices only by a display that shows the exact temperature in the room. That way, the information that appears on a display lets you know what adjustments to make.
When you know what thermostat type you want, selecting a perfect option for your home only takes minutes.

Start off by following the instructions in the How To Make Tunisian Crochet booklet. You can then move forward with making one of the small projects to master this new stitch. Tunisan crochet has a different style and feel that standard crochet. The projects in the book will help you become comfortable with using this crochet technique. Soon you will be making all the projects in the book, and then designing you own items. Adding a new stitch to your crochet knowledge will help you move on to other stitches that use this long hook technique.
Skill level: Intermediate.
Materials: Tunisian crochet entrelac may be worked with any yarn and appropriate hook size. Generally, best results are obtained with any type of Tunisian crochet when it's worked with a larger hook than you would use for traditional crochet with a particular yarn. The projects in this pattern were made with worsted-weight cotton yarn and size K Tunisian hook.
Tunisian crochet is normally worked with a long, straight Tunisian hook; however, since Tunisian entrelac is worked with only a few crochet stitches on the hook at a time, regular crochet hooks may be used. The technique is Tunisian-but the hook need not necessarily be a Tunisian hook.

Remembering The Beach Boys Carl Wilson
Friday, December 21, 2012
Today (December 21st) marks what would have been Beach Boys co-founder and guitarist Carl Wilson's 66th birthday. Carl, who was known for his peaceful nature and flawless tenor vocals, died of cancer on February 6th, 1998 at the age of 51.
Although the Beach Boys story is said to start with the Wilson brothers -- Brian, Dennis and Carl -- harmonizing with cousin Mike Love at family gatherings, it was Carl's love for guitar-based R&B that separated him from his family. While barely a teen, Carl and fellow Beach Boys co-founder David Marks were taking lessons from local guitarist John Maus -- later of the Walker Brothers -- who himself had learned directly from Ritchie Valens.
It was Carl and Marks' dual-guitar combo that took the Beach Boys beyond the intricate Four Freshman-style harmonies which enthralled brother Brian, the casual doo-wop favored by Love, and the acoustic folk stylings of Al Jardine.
When brother Brian quit the road after a nervous breakdown in December 1964, it was Carl who took over as the de-facto live bandleader. In the early '70s when Brian eventually retreated from the recording studio, Carl again stepped into his brother's shoes.
Carl was featured singing lead on many of the group's greatest recordings -- including "God Only Knows," "Girl Don't Tell Me," "Good Vibrations," "Friends," "Breakaway," "This Whole World," "I Can Hear Music," "Wonderful," "Surf's Up," "Only With You," "Good Timin'," and many more. Carl was also known for his raucous R&B vocals on such hits as "Darlin'," "Wild Honey," and "Marcella."
Carl Wilson co-wrote several classic Beach Boys album tracks, including "Long Promised Road," "Feel Flows," "All This Is That," "The Trader," "Angel Come Home," and "Keepin' The Summer Alive."
Throughout the years Carl Wilson was a dominant force on stage, overseeing the show's arrangements, and keeping the Beach Boys' vocals well oiled and their stage band tight and rehearsed. Although he was never as prolific a producer or songwriter as his brothers, the Beach Boys were arguably Carl's band, a role he carried out with pride and respect until he was finally too ill to take the stage any more.
Beach Boys historian Jon Stebbins, who's chronicled the lives of the group in his Dennis Wilson biography The Real Beach Boy, as well as group's co-founder-guitarist David Marks, in The Lost Beach Boy, says that it was 15 year-old Carl Wilson who pushed the band into becoming a tight, professional unit: "Carl was really a pro. Out of all of them, as young as he was, Carl was the one who first got it. This was a 'hail Mary' pass (that) had been caught by the Beach Boys getting signed and becoming a hit act. And Carl was more about rehearsal, and getting everything right out there. Because he knew that this was something that could go away really easily."
After Carl's death, his sons Jonah and Justyn launched the Carl Wilson Foundation (CWF) for cancer research and care. Over the years, most of the Beach Boys, along with Carl's friends and fans, have performed benefit shows in Los Angeles for the foundation.

It's hot out there! And if your Golden Retriever or long-haired kitty seems to suffer when the mercury rises, you might feel some temptation to break out your grooming tools and give your pets a full shave-down. We get where you're coming from.
But wait! Put down those clippers! According to experts, you'll be doing your pet a disservice. Here's why:
- While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
No, but vets are animal medical doctors. A groomer...not even close. That's like saying that your manicurist said it's ok to coat your fingernails with gasoline, and your doctor says it will destroy your nails, and you say "well, you're not a manicurist." your logic is poor at best.
I think it all depends on the breed of dogs, every breed is different. From what I've witnessed saving a double coated dog like a Sheltie destroys their coat. It never grows back correctly, their hair goes from soft to wire.

My dog has been getting hot spots since I moved into my new house. I believe there's a variable here that wasn't at the old place. I've taken her to the vet several times and she diagnosed bites. She gave me antibiotics and creams. My dog's skin would clear up as long as she was on the antibiotics but it would get bad shortly after the medicine was through. The groomer took one look at her skin and recommended another treatment and her skin is clearing nicely. Groomers aren't vets but sometimes they think outside the medical box because they're exposed to a broad spectrum of ailments and treatments. I'm not saying they know better but, in this case, the groomer did.
I didn't really think about using different Vets. I have 2 adopted & 9 rescues that are now all a part of my "family". 3 are strictly indoor and 8 are in my garage (which they have now taken over and the car sits out - LOL). The 8 rarely want to go outside and if I do let them out they are in a large kennel but they prefer to be in. I love them All.
Yes Melissa and Vets are always right because their title says so. smh
I have had persians for decades and they are in door only Cats. Please dont tell me what I KNOW works because you say so.
ALLL doctors are prone to mistakes pets or not.
With extreme heat and humidity this summer and a dog who has a wooly undercoat I can attest to the benefits of shaving as my Aussie Shepherd developed hot spots and matted fur very quickly even with grooming. The key is not shaving too close to the skin. The hot spots are almost healed with the air getting to them better and much less fur. I get the "insulating properties" of fur however it is like wearing a heavy fur coat in some respects BECAUSE THEY ARE! The advice never to shave your dog is a bit too broad. The length of the shave is important because cutting too close to the skin would be a different story.

Silver linings playbook was actually really cute
431 days ago.
Honestly I think that there was no better actress than Jennifer Lawrence to play Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook
I was positive his role in silver linings playbook was gonna revitalize chris tuckers career. Maybe another rush hour sequal in the works?
I think turning on Silver Linings Playbook 45 minutes into it was a bad idea.

I'm not sure what versions this also occurs in but the output of chunk_split() in PHP 5.0.4 does not match the output in other versions of PHP.
In all versions of PHP I have used, apart from 5.0.4 chunk_split() adds the separator (\r\n) to the end of the string. But in PHP 5.0.4 this does not happen. This had a fairly serious impact on a library I maintain so it may also affect others who are not aware of this.

A report last week from the Alzheimer's Association predicts that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer's disease in the United States — that translates to one out of every eight. For us "baby boomers," this is frightening to say the least.
There are new treatments on the horizon, but we all wonder whether or not they will be available in time for us or even our children. Let's keep hoping for a cure or prevention model by supporting research in whatever way we can. Meanwhile, studies continue to point to physical exercise as the most effective therapy today to prevent Alzheimer's.
Mounting evidence suggests that physical activity may have benefits beyond a healthy heart and body weight. Through the past several years, population studies have suggested that exercise which raises your heart rate for at least 30 minutes several times a week can lower your risk of Alzheimer's. Physical activity appears to inhibit Alzheimer's-like brain changes in mice, slowing the development of a key feature of the disease.
In one observational study, investigators looked at the relationship of physical activity and mental function in about 6,000 women age 65 and older, over an 8 year period. They found that the women who were more physically active were less likely to experience a decline in their mental function than inactive women.
Another compelling study, conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, was highlighted on ABC News last week. The study used mice bred to develop Alzheimer's type plaque in the brain. In the study, some mice were allowed to exercise and others were not. The brains in the physically active mice had 50 to 80 percent less plaque than the brains of the sedentary mice and they (exercising mice) produced significantly more of an enzyme in the brain that prevents plaque.
Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Alzheimer's Research Center at the Mayo Clinic, said on ABC: "Regular physical exercise is probably the best means we have of preventing Alzheimer's disease today, better than medications, better than intellectual activity, better than supplements and diet."

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
I have a question: it says "over an 8 year period. They found that the women who were more physically active were less likely to experience a decline in their mental function than inactive women."
Being physically active and purposely eating "healthier than average" often go together. And people who exercise are also very likely to take vitamins and supplements more regularly.
Did the study make any note of the 6,000 participants' dietary habits?
What if many of these "physically active" were also non-smokers (very likely) and avoid things like red meat?
Is it possible that the exercise was not acting alone in preventing mental decline?
I wish articles like this would go ahead and state: when the "investigators looked at the relationship of physical activity and mental function," also taking into account the dietary habits.... or making sure to control for differences in diet.... or whatever.
Very encouraging news! My senior mom and I walk regularly plus I play very actively with my grandchildren, including tag outside and their great Wii sports fitness games that are fun for the kids but also seniors like me. Hopefully that will all work for each of us to keep us hale and hearty - mentally and physically.
For some little upbeat news- I heard the doctor on Fox news say that cell phone waves showed to prevent and halt Alz. in mice. They had said cell phones caused brain cancer and now he said to talk as much as you wanted. I guess you could find this interview if you go to their web site and type in mice and Alz. disease. I will try that.
I have watched my Mother die from Alzheimer's. She is in a semi coma now after a horrible fall at a good day care center. She is hanging on to each breath as I type. We are talking about a woman who exercised every day and took vitamins and was trim and beautiful. She took no drugs. Her brother and sister in law died last year from this horrible disease. She was the lady who was the first to do exercises and yoga in her generation. The only thing I can say is that she had a very fragmented marriage at the end and much mental anxiety from this and a problem w one of her children. Who knows what brings it on. I know we need to find a cure as fast as we can. For myself, I take fish oil. Work for a cure. I look at good Alzheimer centers and think what it would be like with NHC- a nightmare. I am scared to death for myself now. It robs you of dignity. I pray for my Mom constantly. Work for a cure.
my grandfather came down with alzheimers in his 40's and it looks like I am going down the same path...I am 42 year old Female,I was a long distance runner now I am a walker---always to help with my depression ...and so I can eat what I want...Now I am on EGCG (Green Tea Tablets)The neurologist's do not like my brain size or the atrophy they see, I am on a fight for my life right now....to see if my memory is going to start fading away
My Father and Mother have had ALTZ. I am concerned for myself. I am healthy and very busy with life and taking care of my mother. I exercise and eat healthy...I'm not sure if that's goods enough.
I really need to do more but not sure what!
I have no alzheimer's disease in my family and have always eaten well and excercized from martial arts and power yoga to competing in the national championships in water sking. I think getting it is just random. Some of us, like me, are just unlucky.
Cynthia your comments hit home for me so much, like you I have vowed NOT to fail away like my mom causing so much stress for the family. But how do we avoid this from happening? I am sorry you have suffered so much.
my father died last year from alzheimers my mother has it her father and sister had it my fathers sister also had it I am sure I will too. As a babyboomer I vow not to let my children watch me slowly fade away taking care of my parents and kids has enforced the conviction that when the mind goes so should the body
While I have no doubts about the benefits of exercise as a preventive measure for Alzheimer's and most other ills, it does not guarantee a person will not be stricken. My wife hiked, walked, exercised at the health club 3 times a week and is now in the sixth stage of Alzheimer's
disease. She too suffered a head injury as the result of a horse accident. Even though she was wearing a helmet, she suffered a severe, closed head injury. After 3 days in ICU, 3 days in intermediate care and 3 weeks in rehab, she returned home with only about 50% functionality!
Since then she has followed the steady decline associated with Alzheimer's (she was diagnosed with probable Alz in 2004). Remaining healthy and keeping your mind and body active is good advice for avoiding any number of maladies but, as research is beginning to demonstrate, Alzheimer's
disease seems to have a number of probable sources. Only time will tell how to get a handle on them. Meanwhile, please support Alzheimer's research.
Sincerely, Richard Spouse/caregiver
My mom had Alzheimers, and she was active; walking daily, and staying physically and mentally involved with community and church people and activities. The hood of her car fell and hit her on the head; I've read a lot about this as well as being a possible cause. We need more research; it's a terrible disease to watch a loved one go through...losing them a little bit at a time.
Until we have more concrete ideas about what causes AZ, lets all walk and exercise daily. At least we are doing what the research shows now as beneficial. My mom has dementia and never exercised regularly, this is a terrible disease for her and our family. Go for a walk right now, it can't hurt!
I am 90 in sept o8, I believe developing AZ, is directly related to your genes, my mother lived til 94, and was great til she passed on. I believe I inherited her genes.Hope so anyway.also I have been active all my life, baseball, golfing curling and playing bridge.
April 2 2008 3.08 PM
I have been actively engaged in all kinds of exercise, also yoga, dance. etc. I try to eat a balanced diet. also, keep my brain active, doing crossword puzzles,go to lectures re:new ideas, to keep upon any new ideas. I am on blood pressure medication, have normal weight. In other words I'm doing everythig recommended to fight this terrible disease. I am 84 years old . The only thing that I can complain about at the moment is, "words"
In conversation I know what I'm going to speak about when a word will not come out of my mouth. It's like it's been blocked out for that moment. It comes back to mind as soon as I go on to something else.
In reading some of the ALZ literature, it noted that a severe blow to the head at some time is also a likely cause
The take-home messages I hear from Dr. Peterson's statement are:
1. Physical exercise ~ alone ~ may be more effective than medications, intellectual activity, supplements, and diet ~ alone ~ in reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. But, while physical exercise may be "best," these other activities also have their importance.
2. Physical exercise does not guarantee that a person will avoid Alzheimer's disease, it simply reduces the risk. It's like not smoking: not smoking "reduces the risk" of getting lung cancer, but some non-smokers will still get lung cancer. The same is true with exercise and Alzheimer's.

All the exercise in the world didn't prevent my husband from getting AZ! We both walked 4 miles a day for so many years until 2 years ago, when something went wrong... only now do I know what it was... we also ate healthy and were in great shape...plus active in many orgnizations.... so what does anything prove.. it is just a devastating disease that we hope we can prevent, but I really wonder...... by the way he is the first in his family that we are aware of to get this... my family is not so fortunate... as my grandfather and father died of AZ. As of now we are all okay... what the outlook is .... only God knows.
My father has Alzheimer's and I fear I will also. I have never exercised and although I am creative and intelligent I am not mentally strong. I would like to be part of a study relating to the prevention of...

Take-Two sues over Duke Forever non-completion
by Cyril Kowaliski — 6:00 AM on May 15, 2009
Things are just going from bad to worse for 3D Realms and its former staffers. After shutting down last week because of insufficient funding, the former games studio is now the subject of a lawsuit by would-be Duke Nukem Forever publisher Take-Two Interactive. As Shacknews reports, Take-Two claims 3D Realms has breached a contract by failing to deliver the game:
"Apogee [a.k.a. 3D Realms] continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever," says Take-Two in the complaint, according to Bloomberg. "Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever." According to Take-Two, the company paid $12 million to 3D Realms for the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever in 2000. A second, unspecified agreement was struck between the two companies in 2007.While 3D Realms no longer exists, Shacknews points out that a publishing spin-off dubbed Apogee Software, LLC (not to be confused with Apogee Software, Ltd, which was 3D Realms' legal name) remains in operation. Apogee LLC got tongues wagging last week by promising an imminent Duke Nukem-related announcement, but as it turned out, that announcement had nothing to do with Duke Forever. In any case, Take-Two might not want to count on a multi-million-dollar settlement.
This gets weirder and weirder as it plays out. "As the Stomach Turns"... :D
Moreover, 3DRealms hasn't done anything official other than close down daily operations as a publisher and a studio. Moreover, they've not dissolved the company fully yet. Until it's sold off or dissolved, even if they didn't hand rights control, via contract, to a sister company- they stay with the company.

Salt Lake City, UT — A recent survey commissioned by The Century
Council, 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 Utah, Attorney General Mark Shurtleff; Larry V. Lunt, Chairman, UT Alcoholic Beverage Control, and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, an organization dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking and funded by distillers; partnered to launch Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking at Murray High School.
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 Attorney General Shurtleff. "Our goal is 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
|Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)/HIV-AIDS
|Unsafe/unplanned sex
|Harm to mental development
|Harm to physical development
|Weight gain or weight loss
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.
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.
- 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.
Additionally, the US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association has partnered 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.
"According to the 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (SAMHSA), nearly 18.6% of 12-20 year olds (boys and girls) reported past month alcohol consumption in Utah. We must bring those figures down and make sure Utah's young people — our future — are safe and alcohol-free," said Lunt.
"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. I want all of the young girls in Utah to know that underage drinking is wrong and it's something they need to discuss with their mothers," said Dana Fudurich, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility.
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 — 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. More information can be found at: www.unitedsoccerathletes.com and www.ponytailposse.com.
National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA)
It is the mission of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA) to support and benefit alcohol control systems by providing research, fostering relationships, and managing resources to address policy for the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol beverages. Established in 1937, NABCA is the national association representing the Control States - those political jurisdictions that directly control the distribution and sale of beverage alcohol within their borders. Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, NABCA serves its members as an information clearinghouse and as liaison to federal, state and local governments, research and advocacy groups, the alcohol beverage industry, and other organizations impacting alcohol policy.
