Advocacy group keeps spotlight on Ayotte gun vote
At a Granite State Progress and Mayors Against Illegal Guns news conference Thursday, the fathers of a child and a teacher killed in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting criticized Ayotte for voting against the amendment.
She has said the Grassley-Cruz amendment she supports addresses mental health gaps in the system, adds resources to improve school safety and criminalizes gun trafficking and straw purchases.
Neil Heslin, whose son Jesse was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, recently traveled to Arkansas to meet with U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, who like Ayotte voted against the Manchin-Toomey amendment.
He and Rousseau, and John Cantin of Manchester, whose daughter Missy was murdered by her husband several years ago, all acknowledged enhanced background checks would not have prevented a Newtown massacre, but said they would help to reduce gun violence.
"From the start of this debate, Senator Ayotte has kept her focus on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and improving our mental health system," Grappone said. "She voted for legislation that had bipartisan support to fix the current broken background check system, increase the prosecution of those who illegally seek to obtain firearms, and provide additional resources for school safety, while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. She also worked across party lines to pass a bipartisan amendment in the Senate to strengthen the nation's mental health system."
Groups like Mayors against Illegal Guns have targeted Ayotte and her vote, running ads and pursuing her at appearances. Gun rights groups such as the NRA and the America Future Fund have supported her through televisions ads of their own.

Send us your zeroes: Meter keeps ticking on Nakoma back taxes
Lower assessments, unpaid penalties and interest have far-flung effects on county entitiesDiana Jorgenson
Portola Reporter
When Michael Schoff purchased Gold Mountain properties from the bankruptcy trustee in Reno, Nev., last April, many people in the county looked to Schoff as a hero.
Gold Mountain residents looked to Schoff to take over maintenance and responsibility for the golf course and the Nakoma clubhouse and hoped Nakoma's revitalization would slow the loss in their property values.
Community leaders hoped for a turnaround in the local economy.
And Plumas County, with approximately $900,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest, looked for a transfusion to its ailing budget and smaller property tax rolls.
Six months after the sale, Schoff has paid the county $205,000; the remaining tax amount in default is $628,000. Voles made off with the rest.
Once taxes go into default, they accrue a penalty and ongoing interest, so the numbers never stay the same. The meter keeps ticking and the numbers keep growing.
It is very difficult to compute differences and to pinpoint accurately how much was lost to de-valuation and reassessment and how much was erased during the 30 days' grace after reassessment.
The meter keeps ticking. Recently the new tax bills went out. The tally on the Nakoma properties owned by Schoff is $675,585. The meter keeps ticking.
Nov. 1, properties still in default will take a new hit - 1.5 percent.
The meter keeps ticking.
How did we get here?
A different type of sale was one of the circumstances that led to the current situation.
In an earlier contract with purchaser William Shaw, the $1.5 million sale price included the Plumas County tax liens, paid out by the court.
In the trustee's arrangement with Schoff, the bankruptcy court accepted payment of its $900,000 portion and left Plumas County to fend for itself.
During bankruptcy, the courts requested Plumas County Assessor Chuck Leonhardt reassess and devalue the Gold Mountain properties in 2006 and then again in 2009.
Of the 56 parcels, three are of primary importance: the Nakoma clubhouse and two parcels encompassing the golf course.
After the bankruptcy trustee's sale, Schoff brought other figures to the assessor's office that he believed had not been considered.
He also wanted to point out vole damage and broken pipes in the golf course and significant damage to Nakoma's roof and interior, also due to broken pipes.
As a result, Leonhardt not only reassessed the three properties downward (see charts), he went back three years and lowered the values for those years as well. That is as far back as the law allows for after-the-fact reassessment.
That impacted the back taxes by lowering them and refiguring penalties and interest. Some interest was reduced in that fashion.
In addition, after re-assessment, a property owner has 30 days to pay minus all penalties and interest for the reassessed years.
Julie White, assistant tax collector and tax collector-elect, calculated $60,236.14 in interest and penalties were erased for those three years and those three properties.
Schoff paid the county $205,820.61 for those four years and took out a payment plan on the 2004 and 2005 defaulted taxes.
The payment plan is divided into five equal annual payments (includes 1.5 percent interest) of $55,042, with the last payment due April 2014.
The lower valuations have other impacts as well. Plumas County Auditor Shawn Montgomery admitted many impacts of the national economic reversal are only beginning to become apparent locally.
How Proposition 13, using lower real estate values, plays out in the future is uncertain.
Currently, the Nakoma Golf Resort is valued at less than one-quarter of its 2004 assessment.
At a 2 percent allowed increase per year (if not sold or improved), simple math would mean that it would take 200 years to reach its former value.
It's a "compound world"; in reality it would be less time, but still well beyond human life expectancy.
That significant issue can be expected to affect all county budgets in California in the near and ongoing future.
In Nakoma's case, much of the latest devaluation is due to damage. Leonhardt will revisit the case when the damage is repaired and reflect that improvement in its value.
Par for the course
But golf course communities have been declining in recent years and may never regain the value they once had.
Leonhardt said, "As a general rule, golf courses have been over built around the country. Many of them were built to attract buyers for subdivision lots in developments similar to Nakoma.
"A correction in the real estate market and overall economic contraction have reduced the number of golf rounds played in many markets and stressed the financial statements of the courses that are in business.
"Regionally, I am told there are a number in bankruptcy and foreclosure at this time. I am continuing to try to follow the sales data and expect the need to do so for the foreseeable future.
"Owners of courses are entitled to the benefit of the lower assessment of either Proposition 13 or current market value similar to other property."
Once a property is re-assessed, it becomes tax collector Susan Bryant-Grant's job to figure out the bill and keep track of penalties and interest, as well as to configure payment plans.
White said the villas and timeshares at Gold Mountain have also been recalculated to Schoff's advantage.
Far-flung effects
White spent a great deal of time gathering data for this article and explaining procedures to benefit public understanding.
She and Montgomery explained how the devaluations impacted not only Schoff and county budgets, but service districts, schools and hospitals. Plumas County is a "teeter" county, Montgomery said, which means the county fronts the payouts to special assessments.
"It is based on charge, not on collection," Montgomery said, and a special reserve trust is set up to maintain that ability.
When Nakoma taxes went unpaid, the county stepped in and paid from its reserve. In that district: Plumas County, Plumas County Flood Control District, Mohawk Valley Cemetery, Portola Cemetery, Eastern Plumas Health Care, Gold Mountain Community Service District and all the school districts (including Feather River College). They were, of course, paid at the higher rate of valuation.
With reassessment, their allotments were also reduced, because now they had been overpaid. Next year's tax receipts are reduced by the amount previously overpaid to the agencies.
Montgomery said the county could not do that for the school districts, because the state then had to pick up the difference and the state was not willing to do that. In that case, Plumas County must "eat the difference."
Districts' payments are paid through a complicated "factor" system; property devaluation affects the factored amount.
In Gold Mountain CSD's case, its factor this year has decreased by 2,405 percent, resulting in negative $16,000. The county does not take money from CSDs, so, again, the county must "eat it."
By comparison, Montgomery said the next CSD in line to show a decline was a decrease of 4 percent, nowhere near the 2,405 percent experienced by Gold Mountain.
All the entities listed above were impacted: EPHC, for example, experienced a 2.4 percent decline, considerably smaller because it has a broader tax base than just Gold Mountain.
Ongoing negotiations
Isaac Rothschild, attorney for Schoff, has submitted a proposal to Plumas County offering two approaches whereby the Nakoma tax bill could be further reduced. In essence, the county has respectfully declined.
In his response, County Counsel Craig Settlemire said, "It is our understanding that your client knowingly bought the property from the bankruptcy trustee as to the accrued taxes, penalties and interest and undoubtedly received a lower price giving credit for such encumbrances.
"Now your client seeks to be credited for such taxes, penalties and interest a second time."
Plumas County Chief Administrative Officer Jack Ingstad also weighed in on the issue. "Although the CAO doesn't have the authority to reduce taxes, it is my opinion such a reduction would be a gift of public funds. The county budgeted $375,000 in tax penalty revenue this fiscal year. Without that income, the county will be forced to consider additional reductions to public safety, libraries and other community services.
"How in fairness can we single out one wealthy taxpayer for such relief?"
Editor's note: Schoff's opinions and proposals for settling the question of defaulted taxes will appear in a second article in early November.

Pentagon: NKorea could launch nuclear missile
Friday - 4/12/2013, 1:26pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A U.S. intelligence report concludes that North Korea has advanced its nuclear knowhow to the point that it could arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead, a jarring revelation in the midst of bellicose threats from the unpredictable communist regime.
President Barack Obama urged calm, calling on Pyongyang to end its saber-rattling while sternly warning that he would "take all necessary steps" to protect American citizens.
The new American intelligence analysis, disclosed Thursday at a hearing on Capitol Hill, says the Pentagon's intelligence wing has "moderate confidence" that North Korea has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles but that the weapon was unreliable.
Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., read aloud what he said was an unclassified paragraph from a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report that was supplied to some members of Congress. The reading seemed to take Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by surprise, who said he hadn't seen the report and declined to answer questions about it.
In a statement late Thursday, Pentagon press secretary George Little said: "While I cannot speak to all the details of a report that is classified in its entirety, it would be inaccurate to suggest that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed or demonstrated the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced" in Lamborn's remarks.
'"The United States continues to closely monitor the North Korean nuclear program and calls upon North Korea to honor its international obligations," Little added.
Still later Thursday, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, issued his own statement, saying he concurred with Little.
"I would add that the statement read by the member (Lamborn) is not an intelligence community assessment. Moreover, North Korea has not yet demonstrated the full range of capabilities necessary for a nuclear armed missile," Clapper said.
The DIA conclusion was confirmed by a senior congressional aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Pentagon had not officially released the contents. The aide said the report was produced in March.
Since the beginning of March, the Navy has moved two missile defense ships closer to the coast of the Korean peninsula, in part to protect against a potential missile launch aimed at Guam, a U.S. territory in the Pacific. The Pentagon also has announced it will place a more advanced land-based missile defense on Guam, and Hagel said in March that he approved installing 14 additional missile interceptors in Alaska to bolster a portion of the missile defense network that is designed to protect all of U.S. territory.
On Thursday, the Pentagon said it had moved a sea-based X-band radar -- designed to track warheads in flight -- into position in the Pacific.
Notably absent from that unclassified segment of the report was any reference to what the DIA believes is the range of a missile North Korea could arm with a nuclear warhead. Much of its missile arsenal is capable of reaching South Korea and Japan, but Kim has threatened to attack the United States as well.
At the House Armed Services Committee hearing in which he revealed the DIA assessment, Lamborn asked Dempsey, whether he agreed with it. Dempsey said he had not seen the report.
"You said it's not publicly released, so I choose not to comment on it," Dempsey said.
But David Wright, a nuclear weapons expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said the DIA assessment probably does not change the views of those who closely follow developments in North Korea's pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
"People are starting to believe North Korea very likely has the capability to build a nuclear weapon small enough to put on some of their shorter-range missiles," Wright said. "Once you start talking about warheads small enough and technically capable to be on a long-range missile, I think it's much more an open question."
The DIA assessment is not out of line with comments Dempsey made Wednesday when he was asked at a Pentagon news conference whether North Korea was capable of pairing a nuclear warhead to a ballistic missile that could reach Japan or beyond.
In response, Dempsey said the extent of North Korean progress on designing a nuclear weapon small enough to operate as a missile warhead was a classified matter. But he did not rule out that the North has achieved the capability revealed in the DIA report.
"They have conducted two nuclear tests," Dempsey told a Pentagon news conference. "They have conducted several successful ballistic missile launches. And in the absence of concrete evidence to the contrary, we have to assume the worst case, and that's why we're postured as we are today." He was referring to recent moves by the U.S. to increase its missile defense capabilities in the Pacific.

What causes mumps? How is mumps transmitted?Mumps virus is a single strand of RNA housed inside a two-layered envelope that provides the virus its characteristic immune signature. Only one type of mumps virus has been demonstrated to exist (in contrast to the many virus types that can cause the common cold). Mumps is highly contagious and has a rapid spread among members living in close quarters. The virus most commonly is spread directly from one person to another via respiratory droplets. Less frequently, the respiratory droplets may land on fomites (sheets, pillows, clothing) and then be transmitted via hand-to-mouth contact after touching such items. The incubation period from exposure to the virus and onset of symptoms is approximately 14-18 days. Viral shedding is short lived and a patient should be isolated from other susceptible individuals for the first five days following the onset of swelling of the salivary (parotid) glands.

Nothing to be too concerned about, I don't think. Definitely not on par with the severity of Bynum's injury.
A strained calf and a rolled ankle. With the professionals the Knicks have that make a living out of rehabilitating pro sports injuries, this really means d*ck all.

Hey Subcommitteites ('subcommitteens'? 'subcommitteators?')
This is probably a loaded question as everyone's likely got their own brand allegiances, but can anyone who's got experience across a few brands and models recommend an ideal radio for me?
My old Ace R/C transmitter got lost in the mail, and I wasn't terribly thrilled at the look & feel of the system anyway. So I'm in the market for a replacement radio system for my sub, the "Sir Frankie Crisp". (yes, I'm still working on it off & on, and lost a lot of components in a USPS disaster)
Reqs: 7 or more channels, surface frequency with the option to switch out the crystals, twin-stick throttle would be nice but not mandatory. Prefer new, but used is fine as long as it's never been dunked. Am not rich.
The Robbe F-14 looks promising, but looks expensive and I was never that thrilled by any other Robbe electronics products (namely their motors) and the hobby store guy said both they and Ace generally suck. The Futaba FASST technology sounds great, but am not able to spend for a radio what I usually spend on a car.
Ebay seems awash in arbitrary technology from jaded ex-helicopter fanatics, and I'd prefer an educated opinion from anyone in the submarine hobby venue for which it's needed.
many thks! BB

You can expect to double the frame rate when Power Management gets released to the public.
Nexuiz is now playable on my laptop (NVS140M) with a framerate between 30 and 49fps.
Phoronix: Nouveau With Mesa 7.9 Is Better, But Still Slow
Not only have we been busy testing Mesa 7.9 with the Intel and ATI/AMD drivers along with the Gallium3D drivers (including LLVMpipe), but the Nouveau driver that continues to be developed by the open-source community for NVIDIA GPUs received a fresh round of tests too. Our first published benchmarks of the Nouveau Gallium3D driver were back in February when it was nearing a decent state in terms of supported features and stability. Its DRM also finally entered the mainline Linux kernel earlier this year thereby allowing many Linux distributions to now use the Nouveau KMS driver even though not many have yet adopted the Gallium3D driver for OpenGL acceleration. We delivered updated Gallium3D benchmarks in June with the latest Mesa code at that point, but since then there was the integration of a new GLSL compiler into Mesa and many Nouveau changes, so here are our most recent OpenGL benchmarks from this open-source NVIDIA driver.
You can expect to double the frame rate when Power Management gets released to the public.
Nexuiz is now playable on my laptop (NVS140M) with a framerate between 30 and 49fps.
Whoah! Last time I checked the Nouveau driver was comming in at about (literaly) 3fps at Quake3.
Very nice improvements!
I guess the nVidia guys don't have to be pissed at State Trackers now
BTW this also proves, next to how hard the Nouveau guys work, how great of an investment Gallium3D is!
Nouveau vs Radeon PLZ?
I run Fedora 13 with latest updates and have been using nouveau. 2D is great. 3D sucks. I have to disable shadows and reflections to play neverball and neverput - both of which will hang the system on occasion. When the system hangs, it won't boot properly unless I unplug the power cord and wait for a while - seems vaguely like a thermal problem. I'm running an NV44A fanless card. When enabling desktop effects, the dialog boxes drag OK vertically or horizontally, but diagonal dragging results in painfully slow repainting. BZflag renders fullscreen garbage.
So for me it's been a fine 2D driver for some time, but 3D is just not reliable.
And BTW phoronix. When you say the latest is faster than the older version, please include the old version in the benchmarks for comparison. Also, if you're going to compare multiple cards, please pick one from an older generation, not two NV50 generation cards.
Nouveau drivers don't use any kind of buffer management that comes with Gallium, which helped us to get a lot of speed. For example pb_bufmgr_* managers are used only in r300g, r600g, and svga. u_upload_mgr is only used in those three plus i965. Maybe they have something in the kernel?
I second the Radeon vs Nouveau proposal.
This is just a general G3D question: How much of the performance optimization are shared between drivers? Are half the FPS from how well G3D is optimized and the other half for the specific card driver?
Sorry, I am seriously confused. Wasn't Gallium a modern replacement for Mesa? This article seems to be about current Gallium, not current Mesa, right? (I know I may be totally off, I am not a graphics guru though I love to keep track of where things are heading)
In other words, after like 3 years (after ATI started the open-source initiative) neither ATI nor Nouveau (not to mention Intel) have fast and complete open-source OpenGL 2.1 support, not to mention 3.x.
I say it's gonna take another 3 years until we got reliable and fast OpenGL 2.1 support but even today there's many folks already learning the new 3.x so in like 3 years the "fast and reliable" 2.1 version is gonna be too little too late. Not grumpy, it's true.

How do we determine if a food is healthy?Moderator: BioTeam
26 posts • Page 2 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
That is definitely something I cannot understand. Those things don't even look good (except on their pictures). Even their salads look old and frozen. Yuk. Seriously, good food is an acquired taste, but once you start learning to enjoy good things, it's impossible to go back to McDonalds. And there are better burgers than theirs, it's not hard... even if they are not the worse, and that, is impressive. Patrick
The term "healthy" depends on from where you see and want to talk about.
- If you see from Microbiology, the healthy food means that it doesn't contain microorganisms that can harm your body machinery. - If you see from Immunology, the healthy food means that it doesn't contain xenobiotics, including pathogens, addictive substances, etc. that can trigger an immune responses. - If you see from Biochemistry and Nutrition Science, the healthy food means that it should contain at least basal nutrients to keep our body in optimal condition. - If you see from Physiology, the healthy food means that it should contain materials needed by our body to function properly. All is correct, it is just different in focus of discussion. It would be a perfect definition if we mix all of them
Hmmm at least for the two first definition, I would say they do not relate to healthy but to "safe". That is how we said when I was working in the National Agency for Food safety. And we all knew how those things are different. A McDonald's menu is usually safe but also quite unhealthy, for example... Patrick
I am glad to see this is turning into a McDonald's discussion
"As a biologist, I firmly believe that when you're dead, you're dead. Except for what you live behind in history. That's the only afterlife" - J. Craig Venter
same as me Andrew..
I think for the safe things, I'll look from immunology that won't activate my antixenobiotic and antioxydant response. But, for the taste, I'll look from Biochemistry and Nutrition Science...
Q: Why are chemists great for solving problems?
A: They have all the solutions.
Those interested in what foods are healthy might consider investigating food by blood types especially, in my opinion if you are a blood type O. Dr. D'Adamo divides all foodsinto "Avoid", "Neutral" and "Beneficial" according to 4 primary blood types. Some foods everyone should avoid, some foods are beneficial but many differ from type to type. Clearly this could be a key factor in why people respond to different dietary approaches. For instance, as a Type O I make a particularly sickly vegetarian.
I don't possibly see the relation between blood types and diets. As we know, blood types are given by antigenes on the surface of RBC and no more... Here is a picture of the formation of A and B antigenes from O antigene...(big thanks to the cell bio professor at the national lot for giving us all these wonderful materials...)
So, can you tell us the reasons behind your post, please. I would be fascinated to know...
"As a biologist, I firmly believe that when you're dead, you're dead. Except for what you live behind in history. That's the only afterlife" - J. Craig Venter
They say that your diet should be rearranged according to your blood type. But I couldn't think of any reason for that.
If someone know, please explain to us.
It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishment the scroll I am the Master of my fate I am the Captain of my soul.
My sentiments exactly

Kongeparken is a popular theme park for the entire family. You can make your own delicious chocolate at the Freia Chocolate Factory, ride Norway's largest carousel, or try Norway's longest bobsled track - over 1,000 metres long.
During the summer season you can join an informative city sightseeing tour with a guide.
The city centre of Stavanger has short distances, which makes it easy to reach most attractions on foot. Why not stop by some of the town's many museums, such as the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, The Norwegian Canning Museum, Rogaland Museum of Fine Arts and the Norwegian Children's Museum on your walk?
Broken Column, a sculpture project by Antony Gormley, is made up of 23 cast iron figures placed at different locations around Stavanger. The three Swords in Rock at Hafrsfjord remind you of the battle of the Vikings in 872 AD led by the famous King Harald the Fairhaired. When travelling around you can visit the Jærmuseet Science Centre, which has museums at both Sandnes and Nærbø. In April 2009, Jærmuseet was named "Norway's best museum".
Vitenfabrikken (The science factory) in Sandnes has a planetarium where the constellations above us can be studied as well as experiences for the whole family. The learning centre at Kvia presents interactive experiences in technology, landscape, building styles and methods, as well as livestock.
Fritz Røed's Sculpture Park, "A song about life", is situated in Bryne centre. The park consists of 10 sculptures of various styles and sizes. Here you will find humour, solemnity, childlike playfulness and reflection.
The dramatic Lysefjord with the majestic Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) is not far away and can be experienced all year round. The sightseeing boat tours depart from the harbour in Stavanger. The hikes to Preikestolen and Kjerag are also popular, and during the summer season bus transport is available.
In 2008 the Stavanger Region was designated a European Capital of Culture. Although this year has passed there are still many cultural events and activities in the region. The food festival Gladmat, usually held at the end of July, is the biggest event in the region, and attracts around 250,000 visitors every year.
Keep up-to-date with all the exciting things happening throughout the year in the Stavanger Region with the What's on? calendar.
If you enjoy hiking, the areas around Sandnes, the Lysefjord and the Jæren coastline offer plenty of opportunities. See Hiking in the Stavanger Region for further information.
Fishing is possible in both rivers and lakes if you have a fishing licence. In the sea it is free for everyone. If you like to go on a fishing tour it is possible to rent a boat.
The beaches of Sola and Jæren have excellent conditions for surfing and kiting. The summer season is great for beginners, with warmer temperatures and gentle waves. The late autumn and winter season offers more demanding and rewarding conditions.
Bring your own bicycle or rent one from the tourist information offices. There is a wide range of routes to choose from, for example The North Sea Cycle route.
Kayaks and canoes are also available for rent. If you like to really get close to nature it is possible to join guided kayak tours or participate in a kayak course.
For more adrenalin you can try fjord rafting with a so-called RIB, large open and swift rubber dinghy, or a helicopter ride over the Lysefjord.
In winter there is a popular skiferry that can take you from Stavanger city centre to Sauda ski-centre, which offers five slopes with ski-lifts.

Does this clear things up? (The thread right above yours )
I've been curious about this for some time now and i still don't fully get it.
Here on phoronix sometimes i see mesa and mesa 3d in combination with galium3d ... and i'm getting confused by it.
What exactly is Galium3d?
How do the state trackers work in Galium3d?
Where does mesa fit in this picture..? isn't galium3d replacing mesa/mesa 3d?
What is meas 3d or is it just mesa..?
Enough confusion as you can see.
Could someone please explain to me in clear understandable language what the new Galium3d is exactly and how state trackers and mesa fir within this?
(a diagram would be nice as well)
Does this clear things up? (The thread right above yours )
Mesa provides an OpenGL API to programs that need OpenGL to run.
Mesa also provides hardware drivers for different chips that implement parts of OpenGL in hardware.
The idea behind Gallium3d is to separate the two. There is a layer which deals with the OpenGL API, and which connects to an abstraction layer, and then there are the hardware-dependent drivers which connect this layer to the hardware.
The main benefit is that you don't have to reimplement everything every time you write a new driver. You only need to implement the hardware-specific part. The parts that are the same for all hardware can then be used by all hardware.
So Gallium3d is not replacing Mesa, it is replacing a part of Mesa -- the 3d drivers. The OpenGL API will still be provided by Mesa, running on top of the Gallium3D infrastructure.
One more thing - state trackers sit above the Gallium3D drivers and translate a specific API into a series of Gallium3D calls, ie they implement the API. In the case of GL, Mesa (aka mesa3d) would be the state tracker. There are also state trackers in various stages of development for OpenVG, OpenCL, the acceleration portion of an X driver etc...
If you want to see how all this fits together, start at :
This is the source tree for the mesa project. The src/mesa folder contains all of mesa itself, including the "classic" HW drivers and the code required to let mesa run over Gallium3D (but it does not contain Gallium3D itself). The src/mesa/drivers/dri folder contains the "classic mesa" HW drivers, while src/gallium contains the Gallium3D framework including Gallium3D drivers.
I've put together some info too, so here it is.
Gallium=Gallium3D, Mesa=Mesa3D
The classic Mesa scheme:
In Gallium, the classic driver is split into two components:Code:Mesa core --> classic OpenGL driver
The Gallium driver has a very nice, generic interface (let's face it, it looks almost like Direct3D 10), making it easier to implement other APIs on top of it. The whole image now looks like this:Code:Mesa core --> [Mesa state tracker/generic OpenGL driver --> Gallium driver]
The state tracker is something that talks to the Gallium driver. It can be a direct implemention of some API or an intermediate layer translating commands of some other interface to the Gallium driver. Just FYI there are more state trackers than is depicted in the scheme.Code:Mesa core --> Mesa state tracker/generic OpenGL driver --+ | Xorg state tracker/generic DDX driver -------------------+ +--> Gallium driver OpenVG state tracker ------------------------------------+ | Other state tracker -------------------------------------+
I'm beginning to understand how the layers are organized now. Thanks to all for clearing it up.
Do I understand correctly that OpenGL (and other non-hardware state trackers) gets converted into a Gallium3D-sepcific language, which then gets converted to hardware calls by other hardware-specific state trackers?
I have a question about that abstraction layer. It seems to me to be a kind of a powerful tool if it can do whatever OpenGL, GLSL, Direct3D and whatever other graphical abstraction layers there are can do (seeing as those get converted into this abstract layer) while maintaining independence from specific hardware. It seems like a lower-level OpenGL or something. Is there a state tracker to talk to that language directly? It seems to me like coding in this specific language would be more efficient performance-wise and might be of interest to some people. For example, the developer of Lightspark has talked about creating his own state-tracker specically for that application. Wouldn't it be easier to expose that kind of power to the userland, instead of keeping it inside Gallium3D?

Hi, Regarding battery life and reliability on voice calls and SMSs, which is the best Android phone (DUAL SIM, simultaneously) we can buy nowadays? Regards
The best one is General Mobile DSTL1 (AKA SciPhone N21). It's the best one, since it is the only one. I don't know of any other dual-sim Android phone. I own the DSTL1. The battery life is about 3 days of standby. The dual-sim option works flawlessly. Unfortunately the screen resolution is quite low and some applications won't run on it. There is no GPS and no 3D acceleration. H.264 videos (for example YouTube) don't play, but it should be fixed with a new ROM release. Also originally the phone doesn't come with Android Market, but there is an unofficial hack which allows you to use Market and install applications from it. It's not a great phone, but not a bad one.
So here we are 4 months later. Are you still liking your dual SIM phone? Should I get it or are there other options that you like? Thanks!
Unfortunately my DSTL1's touch screen stopped working 1 month after warranty expiration. So the phone is unusable :-(. I got a Gigabyte GSmart S1205 to replace it. It has WM 6.5 which is a really bad OS compared to Android. I wouldn't suggest you to get it. The DSTL1 has some drawbacks like missing GPS, low RAM and mainly old Android version (1.6). Some developers are trying to port 2.1 to it, but it isn't done yet a nobody can promise that it will ever be finished. Unfortunately the DSTL1 is still the only dual SIM (2x GSM) Android smartphone on the market. A new model from the same developer (Yuhua) should be available soon. It has some good specifications (GPS, 3G, capacitive touchscreen), but it is quite a big 4.3" clamshell MID. So the situation hasn't improved much during last 4 months. There are some HTC clones which claim to support WM 6.5, Android and dual sim. But AFAIK the dual-sim functionality is not supported in Android ROM. I also heard about a phone from India - Lemon P1. But I haven't seen it selling anywhere. So the DSTL1 is still the only choice....
There are many different reasons. In my case I use it mainly to save money. Mobile operators have usually very cheap calls inside their own net but it is very expensive if you call to other operator. But there are also many other reasons why people want dual-sim. 1) You can have a company phone number and your private in one phone. 2) If you travel a lot between 2 countries, you can have different sim cards for each of the country (saves you a lot of money). 3) You can have internet service on one of the card and use the other one for calls. 4) You can have a secret number that only a few people know and you can temporary disconnect the other card if you don't want to be disturbed. 5) No operator has 100% land coverage, with 2 sim cards you can reach at least one of the networks almost everywhere. There are many other reasons why it is better to have 2 sim cards. But I believe these are the most common.
But with this adapter you have to switch the SIM cards. Only one card is active at the same time. With real dual sim phones both cards are active simultaneously.
Thanks for the link Harry, was unaware that existed. However, I second jech search for a real android dual sim phone. From the reviews I've read, that function works great on the DSTL1 (whish I could say the same about it as an android experience), shouldn't be hard at all for one of the big manufacturers to have it too. Currently, I've 2 phones from 2 different operator's so I can call cheaply to the same network,. I wouldn't mind buying a higher end mobile which I could use with both SIMs, this way I'd have a great phone in which to centralize all my calendars, etc, instead of splitting the 2 SIMs into a nice phone and a cheaper one. No Image Found
The issue that you are going to run into is that Android OS currently doesn't support this feature (not sure about 2.3). That being the case, the phone simply doesn't exist and most likely will not exist unless they add this to the OS.
The official Android version doesn't support dual-sim, but since the OS is opensource, it is possible to add this feature by phone developer. I bought the DSTL1 with dual-sim and dual stand-by more then one year ago. For example Motorola has dual-sim Android phones too. So dual-sim is possible with current Android versions.
e.g. HTC desire clone Apparently true dual-sim is supported by heaps of handsets in China. A bit of a crap shoot as to reliability? But can be got relatively cheaply e.g. Mobile Phones Directory of Mobile Phones Products from China Wholesalers, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters Cheers
There is one more dual-sim Android phone, which you can buy right now. It's a HTC Desire Clone. Unfortunately it doesn't have Market, which makes it unusable at least for me. Soon we should have another choice from a well known company. It's Gigabyte GSmart Rola. The phone doesn't have very good specs but still it'll be the best dual-sim Android.
It looks exactly as General Mobile DSTL1 / Yuhua X2 / Sciphone N21 / myPhone A320. I bet it's the same 1,5 year old phone. The good news is that with Android 2.2 the Chinese MTK6516 phones now support dual-standby dual-sim. The chipset has a slow CPU and no 3D acceleration. But at least there now some more choices.
How about Motorola Glam XT800 ? Its gonna be launched soon (may be in the last week of this month or 1st week of Feb). But it should be pricey a bit lotz
Googled and found more info about Moto Glam XT800: Display: 480 x 854 pixels, 3.7 inches, Gorilla Glass display RAM: 512 MB RAM, 1GB storage CPU: TI OMAP3430 550MHz processor Video: D1(720
But I'm afraid it is GSM+CDMA, I need a dual GSM. The best phone (not available yet) so far seems to be Gigabyte GSmart G1310.
Gsmart G1310 Dual GSM Android 2.2 should be a Cheap and Ok option @ $350 with 256 RAM, 528 MHz Processor, 3.2 inch Capacitive Touchscreen and Importantly Optical Trackpad or Trackball, 5 MP Autofocus Camera (without flash). Might be available in Feb or March 2011
Try the Gigabyte GSmart phones. Though they're still not available. Gigabyte GSmart G1317 Rola Gigabyte GSmart G1310
Hi, Ive been following this thread for quite sometime... I live in Hong Kong, adn this is one city / area of the world where everyone definately needs more than one SIM card, becuase living in HK can easily mean living in 3-4 other countries. I for myself, am travelling between Hong Kong (+852), Macau (+853), China (+86), Taiwan (+886) and Thailand (+66). I constantly carry 2 phones on me. One is a blackberry and is my main line in HK - however the SIM card in my blackberry currently carries two numbers (a special service by telecom companies here to aid in our dynamic lifestyles called "1Card 2Numbers"); meaning one SIM card has an HK number attached to it as well as a China number. Meaning when Im in HK, my friends in China can call my China number and even when my person is in HK, I can pick up as a local call and vice versa - no long distance rate applies. However, Im also using a lower model Samsung (D880) phone which enables dual GSM SIM card, but is not a smart phone.. I need this phone because I have another "1Card 2Numbers" SIM card, but this time, the bonding is not 'HK+China', but rather 'HK+Macau'. I then use the remaining SIM card slot for a Taiwanese SIM card that is roaming constantly while im not in Taiwan (as Taiwan doesnt have 1Card2Number SIM card services like China&HK&Macau has. So Essentially: I have 1 blackberry with 1 SIMcard w/2 numbers (hk/china) I have a cheap low model D880 Samsung with the 1st SIMcards w/2 numbers (hk/Macau) and the 2nd SIMcard w/1 number (Taiwan). So Im carrying 5 numbers in total on 2 phones. So basically the only phone I have that I can use to surf in the internet is the Blackberry..which I will never give up because of its still unrivalled keyboard, and messaging speed / email reliabilities. I am unwilling and cannot possibly carry a 3rd phone. So as much as I envy with all my heart as ppl around me are playing nonstop with their iP4s (i hate iPhones with a passion!) or androids, I am still waiting for a proper android to be released with DUAL SIM (2xGSM) to be out no matter the cost... My heart nearly stopped when my cousin busted out the new i909 Galaxy , I picked it up and was so amazed by its weight and comfort. I thought the skies have parted for me... only to realise its a Dual SIM for 1 GSM+ 1 CDMA card! Im not sure WHY these carriers keep making DUAL SIM phones for GSM+CDMA, but Im with you guys in declaring "I desperately NEED an ANDROID dual SIM card smart phone!!" I thought I found one in the Samsung i9000 Mini Galaxy.... but I think its a fakefrom China... Maybe u guys can tell better than I. BUT, I think I might have found a Dual Sim (2xGSM) smart phone.... however it doesnt use android, it uses windows instead. Its the SH81iUC from Sharp. Jech, Please check it out and advise. - Joon
Yes, the Samsung i9000 Mini Galaxy is a Chinese clone. It's one of the many MTK6516 based dual sim Androids which are available now. They're not very good phones, no 3D, slow CPU, cheap HW, bad camera, low sensitive GPS etc. But it's still a usable dual sim Android 2.2. Not bad for that price, but definitely not a great phone. Btw. I got the Samsung i9000 Mini Galaxy so I know what I'm talking about. I was also considering the Sharp SH81iUC. It looks good. But it's running Windows Mobile. I have a GSmart S1205 with WM (btw. MTK6516 chipset, same as Chinese dual sim Android HTC/Samsung/SONY clones). The HW is OK, but I can't stand the OS. Very slow in reactions, very unstable, it's difficult to find good applications and even more difficult to manage them. Once you tried Android you don't want to get back to WM. So my advice would be to wait for the GSmart G1310. It should be available within 1 or 2 months. Also starting Feb 14th there will be Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, where most manufacturers present their phones for the coming year. We might see something interesting next week....
Do not really understand why there are no mainstream DUAL SIM Phones ? All people complain on very high roaming charges and easy to solve via DUAL SIM. Why ? Because like this customers need to buy 2 phones and/or pay high roaming charges.

American Academy of Ophthalmology Web Site: www.aao.org Original URL:
The practice of ophthalmology can be one of the most satisfying medical professions. This is due in large part to the broad scope of ophthalmic practice, which includes medicine and surgery, treatment of pediatric and adult patients and provision of primary care as well as highly specialized treatment. Also, because of the nature and wide prevalence of eye problems, the patient's relationship with an ophthalmologist continues over many years, often throughout the patient's life.
As a result of a number of scientific and technological advances, ophthalmology offers possibilities for diagnostic and therapeutic precision that are unavailable in many other medical and surgical specialties. These advances have resulted in the development of a number of subspecialties, and provide the ophthalmologist with a wide range of clinical and research opportunities.

Traction Therapy
Learn MoreTraction Therapy
Cervical Traction is a process in which pressure is slowly applied in a pulling direction on the cervical vertabrae of the neck. By relieving the stress between your vertabrae, traction therapy helps to relieve neck and back pain as well as increase motion and flexibility. Although there are home traction devices and kits, it is important to consult a medical professional, physical therapist or chiropractor about traction therapy prior to beginning.
Types of Traction Devices
There are a variety of traction devices on the market these days, many of which are designed for a professional setting while there a few that are designed for in home use.
Traction Collars are padded neck braces that gently expand to relieve unnecessary pressure from the vertabrae in the neck. Usually this expansion is caused and controlled by a manual pump so that you have ultimate control as to the pressure applied and to minimize accidental injuries. Saunders has a tremendous line of home traction devices that feature comfort and ease of use!
Overdoor Traction devices rely principally on a pulley system to apply the pulling sensation to the spinal column. A weighted bag, usually filled with water, or weights are attached to the weight bearing end of the pulley which gently pulls your cranium upward, relieving pain and pressure from your neck.
Products like the TX ADP400 Traction Accessory Kit and the TTFT-200 Traction Accessory Package are designed for clinical use by a licensed physical or occupational therapist to ensure proper use and prevent injury.
Other Treatments for Neck Pain
While Cervical Traction has become increasingly popular, there are still other, more common methods or practices to reduce neck pain. For example, Orthopedic Pillows do an incredible job relieving minor aches and pains in a variety of locations throughout the body, but especially the neck. By using a more contoured pillow that supports your head and neck more soundly, you can easily (and cheaply!) reduce the amount of fatigue and soreness you feel in the morning and throughout the day!
Hot and Cold Therapy is also a tried and true method to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain not only in the neck, but throughout the body in general. Applying heat to sore muscles or joints, causes blood vessels to dilate and travel more easily throughout the veins and arteries. This, in turn, increases circulation and oxygenation in the cells and assists in the removal of toxins. Using cold, on the other hand, causes the cells to metabolize slower and reduces nerve center reaction time, thus reducing pain and inflammation in the targeted areas.
Sometimes if the pain gets to be too much in general, Pain Relief Devices or pain management products can be used to relieve pain in specific areas. The Laser Touch One is an FDA approved cold laser device which uses low level lasers to stimulate nerve receptors and reduce pain.
Traction Tables
Traction Tables work to increase the efficiency of traction therapy and help to relieve stress in both the neck and back vertabraes. These tables can typically be found in physical therapist"s, occupational therapist"s, or chiropractor"s clinic and are not commonly used in home due to the aggressive nature of the therapy.

This test measures the amount of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) in your blood.
Your body makes many forms of CK, including CK-MB. CK is found in the heart, muscles, and other organs including the small intestine and uterus. If you have a heart attack, injured heart muscle cells release CK into your blood.
Because many tissues contain CK, high levels of CK can be a sign of a variety of problems. Higher CK-MB may point more specifically to heart damage.
Each year millions of Americans visit the emergency room with chest pain, but only a fraction of those people are actually having a heart attack or another serious, sudden heart problem. This test helps your doctor figure out whether you're having a heart attack.
Measuring CK-MB used to be a common tool for diagnosing heart attacks, but doctors use it less often today.
You may have this test if your doctor suspects you are having a heart attack. Symptoms of a heart attack often include:
Pain or discomfort in the chest, such as a squeezing sensation or feeling of fullness
Pain in the neck, back, arm, or jaw
Shortness of breath
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Sudden sweating
Your doctor may also order a test to measure cardiac troponin, or CTn. This test is more commonly used than CK-MB because it more specifically shows heart damage.
Your doctor may also order an electrocardiogram, or ECG, to measure electrical activity in your heart and help diagnose a heart attack.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Levels of CK-MB may not rise in your blood within the first six hours after a heart attack. You may need to have repeated tests to see if you've had a heart attack.
Higher levels of CK-MB may mean that you have had a heart attack or have other heart problems, including:
Myocarditis, an infection and inflammation of the heart muscle
Pericarditis, an infection and inflammation of the thin sac that surrounds the heart
Cardiac defibrillation, when an electric shock is used to fix the heart rhythm
Higher levels of CK-MB may also mean more of the heart was damaged in the attack.
Higher levels may also be caused by muscle damage elsewhere in your body, by diseases that affect your muscles, and by trauma to your chest.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Timing is important. If you have the test too soon after a heart attack, your may have a false-negative result.
Strenuous exercise and cocaine use can also affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

The Board at its July meeting developed updates to APTA's Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan, last updated in July 2011, outlines goals, objectives, strategies, and metrics for the next 1-3 years that will support achievement of Vision 2020. The plan includes a number of key decisions made by the House of Delegates in June 2012.
Final wording of the 4 outcomes and their supporting objectives is in process and will be shared with members once the Strategic Plan has been adopted by the Board in December. The 4 outcomes are in the areas of:
Through small-group exploration, generative discussion, and prioritizing, the Board and key APTA staff identified several focused objectives that APTA can target for budgeting resources over the next 1-3 years.
Key to the planning process was consideration of 2012 House decisions such as Physical Therapist Responsibility and Accountability for the Delivery of Care (RC2-12) and Feasibility Study for Transitioning to an Entry-Level Baccalaureate Physical Therapist Assistant Degree (RC20-12).
Updates from the APTA strategic planning process will be posted to APTA.org, at www.apta.org/StrategicPlan, as they become available.
