Phoronix: What Do You Want From Linux GPU Drivers In 2010?
Where there are the 2009 Linux Graphics Survey results from a few months back, we are interested in hearing what you would like from Linux graphics drivers in 2010. Whether it be specific features, overall improvements, a change in policies, or anything else that influences your Linux graphics experience.In terms of 3D, on the open-source side there is Gallium3D coming and other core Mesa improvements that we have been talking about as of late, but what about with ATI/AMD and NVIDIA with their binary drivers? Both companies will be introducing new features in their binary Linux drivers in 2010, but what do you hope they provide?Let us know...

OpenGL 3.x and video decode acceleration.
The only thing I really want is the open source drivers to get their ass in gear with openCL support so that the multimedia programmers have motivation to get gpu assisted encoding going in linux. It's so sad to use a open API you really have to use a closed system.
Complete R600/R700 Gallium 3D driver.
BlackStar: do you know what Nvidia specs actually would be useful?
I do not care about closed course driver. On open source IMO there is not so much to discuss. I believe community mostly miss following:
1) Finish power management (avoid corruptions)
2) Port R7xx HDMI fix from radeonhd to KMS
3) Use IRQs for HDMI audio
4) Fix some r600 little bugs
5) Start working on r600g
6) Finish r300g
7) Publish (?) r8xx 2D support
8) 3D for r8xx
1) Fix bugs in NV50 3D
2) Improve 3D on older chipsets
3) Power management
1) Accelerate H264 decoding

I just want my ATI 5850 can run my two monitors with the open source drivers, I dont care the 3D. Is it too much? THe closed source driver is terrible.

I want seamless switchable graphics capabilities in Linux. In the last couple of years, we've seen a proliferation of the switchable graphics model in laptops, and Windows 7 and OSX have picked up the trend and offer full and partial support for it.
Although the community Linux has made inroads in starting to support this, it's still not as feature complete as the aforementioned commercial OSses.
I've been compiling information on switchable graphics features in Linux for more than a year now, mostly on this website and bug report:
- Complete R600/R700 Gallium 3D driver.
- OpenGL3.x for ATI Radeon
- Power management for ATI radeon
- Support R800 (evergreen) ATI

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
The iPhone 6 Plus is an outstanding choice for those with big budgets and big pockets, but power users seeking even more flexibility should audition the Galaxy Note 4 as well.
The iPhone 6 is an exceptional phone in nearly every way except its average battery life: it's thin and fast with a spacious screen and the smoothest payment system we've seen. It's the best overall phone of 2014.
The next generation of tech-savvy kids review the Apple Watch with mixed results in the latest "Kids React" video from The Fine Brothers.
The $99 Typo Keyboard case adds a credible physical keyboard to the iPhone 6, but losing access Touch ID sensor makes it a tough trade-off.
Looking for even more battery life on your new iPhone? Mophie's come to the rescue.
The $60 Reach79 case is designed to boost the signal of your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, by a factor of two, according to its maker.
Adobe ports its iPad app to the iPhone. It's cramped, as you might imagine, but functional.

The issue has been decided. There will not be such a trip this year. It's a lot easier to send 10 students than 60.
Attorney General Marty Jackley announced Friday, December 11, that a burglary of Zeeb Pharmacy in Philip has led to an investigation by the Division of Criminal Investigation, Haakon County Sheriff's Office and the Philip Police Department. The incident took place in the late evening hours of December 1 or the early hours of December 2. Large amounts of scheduled narcotics such as oxycodone, demerol and fentanyl were taken by the intruder along with other merchandise. "Prescription drug abuse is on the rise in South Dakota," said Jackley.

D-backs looking for more efficiency from Cahill
Giants' Bumgarner out to continue early success
Through a handful of starts this season, it's been easy to pinpoint what's gone wrong for D-backs right-hander Trevor Cahill.
Inefficiency has been a key issue, with Cahill walking 12 batters in his first five starts. He's combined to give up seven free passes in his last two starts, throwing 105 pitches in each of those outings.
"He's throwing too many pitches. We'd like to see him try to get quicker outs, but it's easier said than done," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's been incredible with runners in scoring position, though, 2-for-26. He's done that really well. We'll just try to get him to throw more consistent next time because people don't hit him hard. He's got electric stuff."
Cahill will look to stop this trend from continuing Tuesday as the D-backs square off against the Giants at Chase Field.
Picking up his first win of the season Thursday against the Rockies, Cahill allowed only an unearned run on four hits. However, the right-hander could go only five innings after tossing over 100 pitches in the start.
"It's funny because in the bullpen he's nasty. I would love for him, and I know it's hard, but I would love for him to act like he's throwing in the bullpen when he's out there," D-backs catcher Wil Nieves said. "The ball moves so much when he's in there, but when he gets in the game sometimes he tries to do too much and it backfires. That's when he gets in trouble. When he stays nice and calm, he's nasty."
Meanwhile, left-hander Madison Bumgarner will be on the hill for the Giants, ready to continue his winning ways.
Tossing quality starts in four of his five outings so far this season, he's overpowered hitters, striking out 34 batters and compiling a 3-0 record with a minuscule 1.87 ERA.
After taking a no-decision against the D-backs on Wednesday, Bumgarner is hoping the second time's the charm. He allowed just one run on five hits in 7 1/3 innings in a 3-2 loss.
"I felt good," Bumgarner said after the game. "Command felt good and arm felt good. Body felt pretty good today. Everything was there."
He's been solid on the road throughout his career, posting a 3.22 ERA away from AT&T Park.
Giants: Affeldt to pitch against hitters before return
Left-hander Jeremy Affeldt will face hitters Wednesday, a final step before he's able to come off the disabled list.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Affeldt, who has been sidelined since April 15 with a strained right side, will either throw a simulated game against Giants teammates at Chase Field, face Minor Leaguers in extended spring training or make an injury rehabilitation appearance for Class A San Jose.
Affeldt was satisfied with his throwing session off a bullpen mound Monday, showing improved command and success in throwing the entire repertoire of his pitches.
"We've been pretty aggressive with it," Affeldt said. "I've been in the training room forever every day."
D-backs: Hudson, Eaton make progress
Right-hander Daniel Hudson (Tommy John surgery) threw two innings of live batting practice and outfielder Adam Eaton (elbow) threw at a distance of 90 feet Monday, with the D-backs remaining optimistic that each player can return in a timely fashion.
Hudson, who hasn't pitched in the Majors since June 26 of last year, is expected to be back shortly before the All-Star break in July.
Meanwhile, Eaton, who suffered an elbow sprain in Spring Training, will go out on a Minor League rehab assignment beginning sometime at the start of May with the hopes of rejoining the team at the end of the month.
"It could be that early if there is a need, but our preference would be to let him continue to play," said Gibson.
Worth noting
• The Giants placed left-hander Jose Mijares on the bereavement list Monday, allowing the reliever to return to Venezuela to mourn his grandmother's death.
• D-backs infielder Paul Goldschmidt is hitting .357 (20-for-56) with three home runs and 14 RBIs in his last 16 games against San Francisco.

Checkered Neon Chaos OTKs
Criminally bright and that's no joke. Bright checkered rows of color that create an almost hypnotising kaleidoscope effect of colors collected in a perfectly imperfect state of chaos.
Labels say US sock size 5-10, but they seem like the usual "one size" of women's socks and should fit shoe sizes 6-10 well.
23 inches from heel to top of cuff. Very good top stretch, though the cuff will stretch up to 20 inches we found they want to roll a bit, so if you're wearing them larger than 17 inches you may want to use sock glue or garters.
Additional Info:
*Because of their amazing variety, these are an assorted style with cuff colors in Yellow, Pink, Green and Black. The cuff color is repeated throughout the sock. If you have a preference, let us know in order notes and we will do our best to get you the pair you want.
Made in Japan.Fiber Content: 100% nylon. Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
Label: Tabbisocks
I just got my new @SockDreams OTKs and thigh-highs and I have to say, they really are the socks of my dreams.

I still think we should get Shannon Brown and Warrick in the deal.
Brown/Warrick/Marshall/Lakers pick/2nd rounder.

I still think we should get Shannon Brown and Warrick in the deal.
Brown/Warrick/Marshall/Lakers pick/2nd rounder.
Let Gordon die in that horrible heat in Pheonix!
Eww, that trade is worse than Anthony Davis bottom row of teeth.
No way am I trading Gordon for Brown, Warrick, Marshall, the Lakers late 1st, and a 2nd. Ugh, I need to go clean my toilet after reading that mess.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Can we lock this thread now that Monty has come out and said it's no big deal and that Gordon is still our guy?
lol, who cares where its taking place? None of us have any power in this decision making and I am not the one making "demands" and saying "Gortat or no deal!", I am informing you what a potential trade would look like based on every historical trade that has happened in similar circumstances.
As you Hornest fans just saw with the Magic, when players get moved in S/Ts, they get shipped for a fraction of their worth.
That and the report clearly states the Magic weren't really willing to match the Hornets offer unlike the situation with Gordon.
Another terrible argument. Magic were cash strapped big time, just like you guys were when JJ was due his $$$. What do you not understand about the Hornets having ALL THE LEVERAGE, if and only if Gordon signs the Phoenix offer? It's completely different situations, and if you don't see why then I'm done.
It still doesnt change that he got moved for cents on the dollar... which is what happens in ALL S/T situations.
I am not claiming Gordon will be a Sun in exchange for magic beans, I am saying the most the Hornets could expect is a couple 1sts (with protections) and a player like Marshall or Morris (and any S/T Suns players the Hornets might have interest in like Lopez or Brown), and that is VERY good compensation in any S/T. If the Hornets feel that, despite the gamble on his attitude, contract and health, he is worth more to their franchise then he will stay a Hornet, and I'd personally be happy about it.
You can kick and scream, say I'm not the GM, Demps is a mastermind... whatever, but thats how the NBA works. You dont get anywhere near full value in a S/T. So if you're absolutely certain that the Hornets would not move him for that much then he will almost certainly be a Hornet.
I think everyone has to sit back and understand one thing. You can't blame people for wanting to be on this board over a Suns board right now. I know I would.
The Suns could trade their entire roster and that wouldn't be fair value for Gordon. You say you don't want him, but Phoenix needs him way worse than Nola does. He'd b the best player in Phoenix by a mile and that's not even debatable. The Hornets are lucky enough to have Davis (and to a lesser extent Rivers) who could become "cornerstones" of their franchise.
I honestly don't care what u think we could get, what any Hornet fan thinks we could get, because it isn't happening. If Gordon is traded, it will be a year after we match when he has 3 full years left on his contract. You don't let an asset as talented and as young as Gordon walk for nothing or for the **** you and the Houston guy are offering. Demps knows who he wants on his team, and if Gordon is on his mind then he'll b here. If he isn't he'll b traded and we will get great return because we were patient and didn't act on impulse like you guys did with JJ, the Magic just did with Ryan Anderson, etc. Like I keep telling u, our situation is so different than all of those because we can afford to pay him and bench him if we wanted to (that would never happen though).
Fine! I wouldnt disagree with most of that (I personally wouldn't trade Gortat for Gordon straight up). My point was IF a trade DID happen, thats the most they could expect. But I agree, the more likely thing is Gordon stays. Only thing I disagree with is that "patience" could work against New Orleans in this situation. If Gordon does not get significantly more durable then the Hornets wont be able to give him away for free, the Suns would be in that same boat. But, like you said, its a risk the Hornets can probably afford to take because they are early in their rebuilding and have cap room.
And while he likely would be the Suns best player I dont want him on the team. He is not a centerpiece player, the Suns need to truly rebuild, not try to a quick fix on borderline max contract talents that will, at best, make them a contender for the 8th seed.
Phrazbit has been owned about 35 times already. Pretty clear he is trolling.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
while i agree and disagree with some things u say, like not trading 28 yd old gortar for 23yr old gordon, gordon would be ur best player and like u said he isnt a centerpiece, but we have davis who will be our centerpiece and will go with gordon great, not to mention ryan anderson opening the lane up big time
Yo can someone please answer this question for me! idk if it has been posted and i didnt know where else to post this. Anyway if hornets match gordon's offer can they fix the contract? because i read that the contract is 4yrs 50 something million but he has an option in year4 so it would technically be 3 years if he dosent take it. So could the hornets give him like a 4 year deal with a 5th year player option or something?

What is Certified Lumber?
Green products can be certified for a range of environmentally friendly qualities such as indoor air quality, energy efficiency, sustainability and water conservation, to name a few. The number of certification programs and certified products seems to grow with each new month.
Of all the terminology used when discussing green products, sustainability might be most often misunderstood. Sustainability has been defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; a definition created in 1987 at the World Commission on Environment and Development, a division of the United Nations.
Products that contain wood in part or in whole present an opportunity for architects and builders to add sustainable practices to their work. Choosing windows, doors, flooring, roofing, siding and framing systems that are certified as sustainable not only helps the environment, but it can be a marketing hook as well.
To measure the sustainability level of lumber, two main attributes are evaluated: harvesting and chain of custody. The harvesting process is evaluated based on how trees are planted, grown, cut down and renewed to ensure the long-term health and existence of a forest. Chain of custody tracks exactly who or which company touched a piece of lumber, tracing it back to the company that employed the person or machine that cut down the tree.
"Chain of custody is important because it guarantees a link from the product to the forest it came from," says Kathy Abusow, president and CEO, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, a program based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist.
"People who buy and sell lumber get it from both certified and uncertified forests, so a chain of custody certification label assures the buyer the lumber came from a sustainable forest. Right now there's a big push to let people know about sustainability by labeling lumber. In 2008 you will be seeing a lot more SFI logos on wood products," Abusow says.
Only 10 percent of the world's forests are certified sustainable, Abusow says, so there is plenty of concern about illegal logging and forest destruction going on in other countries. "These problems would be with those who harvest and sell lumber irresponsibly, who don't intend to own the forest for very long. So for forest owners who will own their land for the long term, and have been practicing sustainable forestry for a long time, certification is a guarantee from an independent third party that they're doing things right.
"We can be proud in America that you can source legal and well-managed wood products. [Builders] can be proud they are using a product that is produced following a standard that promotes sustainable forest management, including wildlife species at risk," she adds.
The overall aim of sustainable forestry practices is to advance a more sustainable building material economy, says Katie Miller, communications director, Forest Stewardship Council, a group whose formation was driven in part by the failure of an intergovernmental process to agree on a global forest compact. "So, people pay attention to issues such as where lumber comes from, how and where it's manufactured, how long a distance it traveled from cut-down to jobsite. Lumber certification challenges people to think about those things and make an active choice," she says.
Impact on Home Building
Lumber certification alleviates concerns about mismanaged forests that contribute to soil erosion, loss of wildlife, and the clear cutting of old-growth forests, says Ray Tonjes, chairman, National Association of Home Builders Green Building Subcommittee. "It's important that a good green home building program address issues like that.
"Still, in my experience [lumber certification] is not a builder-driven issue. It's probably more of a supplier/dealer/distributor issue to provide the opportunity for builders to achieve green points," Tonjes says, referring to programs such as the NAHB's Green Home Building Guidelines. "You see a lot of advertising for different products that are FSC certified to entice builders to get green points for their homes. I see a little bit of point chasing going on, but if that works for a client, that's grand."
Lumber certification tells an architect or builder a product is made with environmentally responsible practices and material, says Russell Richardson, director, industrial markets, Southern Pine Council, a joint promotional body coordinated and supported by manufacturers of Southern Pine lumber. "Our member companies' message is that they've been properly managing their forests since day one. After all, they've got to have timber to make lumber. But over the last few years, public awareness about everything green has started to sink in, and everyone is starting to pay attention. As public awareness grows, demand for sustainable products will rise," Richardson says.
Dozens of product certification programs operate worldwide, while two programs take center stage in the United States: The Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council. Both are independent third-party organizations that certify the harvesting process and chain of custody for lumber producers.
Having multiple certification organizations, and therefore multiple logos to recognize can cause confusion among builders and architects. The confusion for some might extend beyond which program to choose, into what a certification label actually means.
Who is SFI?
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative provides lumber producers with a standard to follow for managing their forests in a sustainable way. The group also provides a method of tracking lumber from the forest to the jobsite, also known as chain of custody. "It doesn't matter if the end product is a juice box, paper or a 2x4, you know a product is from a well-managed source if it has the SFI label on it," Abusow says.
SFI has grown in recent years, most notably by the number certified locations across North America, which rose from 48 to more than 400. "Momentum is growing. More people are using the SFI label," she adds.
Every five years revisions are made to the SFI standard, and SFI is entering a revision cycle this year to ensure its standards stay in touch with changes in the market. "With the global trade, we have concerns about offshore wood. So it's important to SFI that lumber producers follow the North American standards. If a company in North America certified by SFI uses or sells offshore lumber, we make sure that lumber comes from well-managed forests as well," Abusow says.
In addition to having its standards revised this year, the SFI Program also is being reviewed by the U.S. Green Building Council to determine if USGBC LEED for Homes points should be given to builders using SFI-certified lumber. At press time the LEED program did not award points for SFI lumber. "USGBC decided to conduct a criteria-driven analysis of different certification programs and whether it needs to be more inclusive of other programs such as ours," Abusow says.
Who is FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council is an international organization that certifies and establishes guidelines for forests and how they are managed. Founded in 1993 with headquarters in Germany, it was created as a result of a meeting of world leaders in 1992 to discuss concerns about the world's forests. Environmentalists, land owners, manufacturers and others comprising a group of more than 100 entities formed FSC.
Despite its international origins, FSC maintains one set of forest management principles and criteria in the United States, Miller says. "In addition, we have regional standards that are written at the country level. In the U.S. we have nine regional standards and they differ, for example, because lumber from a tropical forest would be handled differently than that from a Northwest U.S. forest."
FSC is an independent nonprofit third-party certification organization. "We set our standards," Miller says. "For green building programs like the NAHB and LEED, builders can get credit for using FSC-certified wood. LEED programs recognize only FSC-certified wood for credit.
"In the beginning there was confusion about whether we were certifying quality or chain of custody," says FSC's Miller. "We are not certifying quality. We are certifying the source of the wood — that it came from a sustainably managed forest. We certify nothing pertaining to glues or adhesives used in a product. We don't verify anything like that."
Other lumber certification organizations operating in North America include the American Tree Farm System, the Canadian Standards Association's Sustainable Forest Management System Standards and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Systems.
Making Certification Matter
How does an architect or builder make the most of a choice to use a certified sustainable product? To provide incentive for builders and designers, both the LEED and NAHB green building programs award points for choosing certified lumber. A range of certification levels such as platinum, gold and silver are awarded to a house upon completion depending on how many points are earned. That home then can be marketed as certified green, helping builders and designers sell the home as well as make a green name for themselves. NAHB and the USGBC remain the two main groups certifying homes in the United States today.
The NAHB's Model Green Home Building Guidelines are designed to move environmentally friendly home building concepts further into the mainstream U.S. marketplace. The guidelines are based on certain basic criteria with optional points toward earning bronze, silver or gold status, with a soon-to-be-launched emerald status. "The NAHB national guidelines standardize green building practices for the entire country," Tonjes says.
The NAHB also has worked with the International Code Council to create a National Green Building Standard, which is expected to earn ANSI accreditation at any time. Municipalities across the country can use an ANSI standard to build local codes and standards. The basis for developing the standard was the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines.
Tonjes explains, "Lumber certification is just one of many options to earn green points within both sets of guidelines [NAHB and LEED. Both guidelines] are identical in content even though they've rearranged them and rewrote some sentences. Exactly the same components are in each, and the NAHB program recognizes both SFI- and FSC-certified lumber. The intent of recognizing multiple lumber certification organizations is to provide alternatives as opposed to sole sources."
"The fact that NAHB's green guidelines specify SFI is helping with acceptance and use of certified lumber," SFI's Abusow says. "Many states have developed their own local green guidelines based on NAHB's guidelines. And as mentioned earlier, the USGBC is evaluating the possibility of adding SFI to the list of certifications recognized by the LEED for Homes program."
The USGBC's residential certification program called LEED for Homes, launched nationally in December 2007, is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. It awards different levels of green status (platinum, gold, etc.) based on a system of points earned for using certified lumber and many other green products and practices.
"As a custom home builder or designer, every client may have a different set of preferences on what they want green or not," says Michelle Moore, senior vice president, USGBC. "Maybe someone in the house has asthma, so a homeowner wants to max out on making that home a healthier environment rather than focus on sustainable materials that have no implication on a person's health. And green guidelines address issues such as indoor air quality, so you're covered no matter what a client wants. Certified lumber is only part of the green equation.
"The certified wood credit was first introduced to the LEED point system in its second iteration," Moore continues. "As LEED picked up steam, of course SFI and other material rating systems advanced, and the market advanced as well. A few years ago the USGBC attempted to address how we give credit for certified wood but there wasn't enough time to respond adequately. Very soon after that the board reopened the issue. So we're knee deep in that review process right now. We're expected to issue a revised credit language that might include recognizing SFI wood certification."
At press time LEED for Homes, as mentioned previously, recognized only FSC-certified lumber.
Lumber's Role in a Raised-Floor Home
By Kim Drew
Everything old is new again. A popular building method first practiced centuries ago is making a comeback along the Gulf Coast — and nationwide — as designers and builders seek solutions to common building-science problems.
Whether it's called "raised pier-and-beam" or "crawl space foundation," the goal of raised-floor construction is the same: raise the bottom of a home off the ground and away from moisture, insects and potential flooding.
Designers and builders who offer raised-floor construction can create value for themselves and benefits for homeowners. The cost compares favorably to slab-on-grade designs, and choosing wood to frame a raised-floor house can be an environmentally friendly decision.
For the homeowner, a raised-floor home offers many benefits, including classic style, uplifting comfort, extended living space, a simple lifetime foundation, easy home improvement, reduced risk of flooding, and pest control and landscaping flexibility.
Raised-floor homes can be built on any soil type or condition. Site preparation is no different than for any other conventional building method, and as with any foundation system, proper drainage remains critical. Design loads must be properly calculated, taking into account any wind and/or seismic considerations. Crawl space design and construction, as well as properly installed footings and foundations, work together to ensure the satisfactory performance of a raised-floor structure.
Builders currently using the raised-floor construction method — or those who would like to learn more — are invited to register their information with the Southern Pine Council's building professional locator at raisedfloorliving.com.

This is surgery to remove the larynx, more commonly known as the voice box. In some cases, a partial laryngectomy may be possible.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Reasons for Procedure
Laryngectomy is usually done to treat cancer of the larynx . This surgery may also be done to treat severe damage of the larynx due to trauma .
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Breathing difficulties
- Excessive swelling or bleeding
- Opening of the incision or poor wound healing
- Injury to the trachea, also known as the windpipe, or esophagus
- Blood clots
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Saliva leaking out to the skin
- Inability to speak or aphonia
- Cancer occurs again
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Pre-existing medical condition
- Increased age
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Previous surgical procedure to the larynx
- Prior radiation or chemotherapy
- Poor nutrition
- Diabetes
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Laryngoscopy—the use of a long, thin, lighted tube called a laryngoscope to examine the larynx
- Radiation or chemotherapy—to treat cancer
Leading up to your surgery:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
Also talk to your doctor about ways to restore speech, such as:
- Tracheoesophageal puncture
- Hand-held speech aids
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV.
Description of the Procedure
A cut will be made in the skin on your neck. The muscles that are attached to the larynx will be divided. The larynx and surrounding tissue will then be removed. Sometimes, a partial laryngectomy will be done. In this case, the doctor will remove the tumor and only part of the larynx. If you have this type of surgery, you may retain some normal speech and more of your normal swallowing function.
An opening called a stoma will be created through the skin in the neck. Next, the trachea will be connected to the opening. This will enable you to breathe through the hole. In some cases, a tracheostomy tube will be inserted. This tube, which fits into the stoma, will act as an airway, helping you to breathe. Drainage tubes will be inserted to drain blood and fluid. Lastly, the muscles and skin will be brought together and closed with stitches or clips.
How Long Will It Take?
5-9 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital. The usual length of stay is 7-14 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
While you are recovering at the hospital, you will:
- Have an oxygen mask over the stoma.
- Be given nutrition through an IV or a feeding tube. A speech pathologist or doctor will assess your ability to swallow. Depending on the results, you will progress to soft foods.
- You may need to wear boots or special socks to help prevent blood clot formation in your legs
Be instructed to:
- Use a call bell and message board to communicate.
- Keep the head of your bed raised.
- Move your legs while in bed to increase circulation.
Learn to care for your stoma and tracheostomy tube, which includes:
- Using a mist hood over the stoma
- Keeping water out of the stoma
- Covering the stoma with a shower hood when showering
- Suctioning secretions
- Have the drains removed in about five days. The stitches will be removed in about one week.
At Home
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- For about 6 weeks, avoid lifting heavy objects and doing strenuous activity.
Participate in a speech rehabilitation program. You will need to learn how to speak again. The program may involve speaking by:
- Swallowing air and expelling it—esophageal speech
- Using an electronic device—artificial larynx
- Installing a valve in the stoma to allow air from the lungs to reach the esophagus—tracheoesophageal speech
The throat tissue will heal in about 2-3 weeks. Complete recovery will take at least a month. You may notice a reduction in your sense of taste and smell. You will continue to use the stoma for breathing.
Most people are able to return to their jobs and past activities, except for swimming. Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
Joining a support group may help you to cope with the surgery.
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty eating
- Headache, muscle aches, or lightheadedness
- Tracheostoma is getting smaller
- Saliva is leaking through your incision
- New, unexplained symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I heard GNOME 3.8 is dropping fallback mode.
That sucks!
I look forward to Java 8 in Fedora 19 tho, hopefully it sucks less than Java 6.
GNOME 3.8 has a new "Classic Mode", afaik
Yes, I've heard so.
But I fear it is not as good as the old fallback session.
The "Applications" menu doesnt utilize the screen real estate, prevents me from seeing all applications and instead forces me scroll. Also, it is much less compact.
It still forces me to use these stupid GMenu instead of having the menus where they belong in the application itself.
I think I am the only person who still likes Gnome 3... well except for the new silly windowshade lock screen and it's crazy font size defaults.
However as far as Fedora 19 goes... as long as it doesn't break as much shit as Fedora 18 it will be a great release. I am seriously considering upgrading to Fedora 17 so that I can get back a fully working system. Although I might actually miss my Bug Report buddy who always hangs about in the tray now.
I don't understand why you guys don't just use CentOS...
CentOS 6 is supported for around 7 more years, and it uses Gnome 2 .
I don't like Gnome 3 so I don't use it, it's that simple, I'll stick to CentOS as long as I don't find something better.
As for Gnome 3's "classic mode", I'll keep following the updates, but I highly doubt it will be ever as complete and polished as Gnome 2 is (and quite frankly, I'm happy with Gnome 2, I currently have no reason to upgrade).

Help:Volunteers and Helpers
Wikia Staff · Wikia International · Volunteers and Helpers · Administrators and moderators
Wikia is often helped by volunteers from its communities. These volunteers never outrank administrators on a wikia, but they may have certain global user rights similar to Wikia Staff to help Wikia communities more effectively. This page outlines some of the volunteer groups on Wikia.
The Wikia Helper Group is made up of volunteers working to support and improve non-English wikia communities.
Helpers have global administrator, bureaucrat, and some staff rights, but they do not outrank administrators. Helpers respect local wikia policies, and they will listen and respond to the views of any community they are working on and helping with.
Members of the Helper Group can be found here. When on Wikia, they can be found with a tag in their signatures.
The Volunteer Spam Task Force (VSTF) is a group of Wikia users who have volunteered to help keep Wikia clear and free of spam and vandalism. The group is made up of users who act in the interest of keeping Wikia clean of vandalism and spam, and they are given additional user rights that allow them to detect, delete, and block these spam edits and users. You can report spam on the VSTF Wikia.
Community Council
The Community Council is a group of Wikians chosen from throughout the community by the staff to provide preliminary feedback on new features that are under development. While they do not have additional user rights, other than the ability to see the Community Council Wikia, these volunteer users have a "Councilor" tag on their profiles for the duration of their time in the group.
Admin Mentor Program
The Admin Mentor Program (AMP) is a group of experienced admins on Wikia using their expertise to empower wikia admins with the knowledge and skills they need to best manage their Wikias. They are friendly faces to turn to with any questions about wikia creation and management. The mentors are able to offer a hands-on approach to getting your wikia looking great and running smoothly.
Issues with these groups
Sometimes, unanticipated disagreements and issues arise between users and groups of volunteers and Helpers. Should this be the case, and you are unable to resolve the issue locally, feel free to contact Wikia Staff for help in resolving the matter.

LadessaHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairWorks Ok For Hair. It's Better Than Most For Sensitive SkinI've used this product, as well as many others, a few times. It works better than most. It doesn't burn my face but it doesn't completely remove hair. I usually get a 'stubbly' result and have to redo my face after a few days. I just can't seem to find a product that is strong enough to remove my hair and not burn my skin.posted Oct 14, 2014Link to this post
Jean S.Terrible Product....burned My Face!I have semi sensitive skin and this product BURNED my face so badly. I will NEVER use it again....and don't recommend it.posted Jan 7, 2012Link to this post
KarinTore Up My Skin And Removed Few HairsFirst off, I followed the directions exactly as they were explained in the package; I didn't leave it on for more than 8 minutes, moistened my skin beforehand, didn't use soap for two hours before or after treatment, put calming balm on afterward. The cream severely burned my chin and neck area (where I applied it). To add insult to injury,it barely removed any hairs, leaving the coarse and black ones intact.
Maybe this product is not meant to remove coarse/ black hairs; if not, then what's the point of buying it?posted Jun 9, 2011Link to this post -
JamieThe Worst Cream EverI have used this product for well over 10 years now and have never had a problem until now. I put the hair removal on and didn't do anything different than i normally do. It said to leave it on for 7-9 min and i only left it on for 5 and it burned me severly. It was blood red and immediately burned. By the end of week one it scabbed over and peeled and left a brown mark behind. Going on week 3 i am still dealing with this, the skin is still trying to heal. This is the most ridiculous product ever. I have had huge embarassment over this and wouldn't recommend using the product on anyone or anything period.posted Apr 2, 2011Link to this post

MaryannProduct Is No Longer Effective For Me.I have used this product for many years and it is not working like it used to. I don't get red or burned, but it also does not remove all the hair. Changing to a different product.posted Aug 23, 2010Link to this post
StaceyNo ResultsI have used this product for over 20 years. My mom just bought some new cream that says improved. Well it doesn't work and burned my face really bad. Very disappointed. You had a great product, not anymore.posted Jul 14, 2010Link to this post
SusieNot Working AnymoreI have used this product for close to 20 years, and for some reason I find that it is no longer working for me. The formula has changed throughout the years, and my guess is that this is the reason I am unhappy with the current product. I've used it for so long that my skin is used to it, definitely no "burning" or "redness" but i'm having many hairs left behind :( I'm very disappointed. It would be great if the product would be reviewed for effectiveness by the manufacturer.posted Mar 16, 2010Link to this post
MerleAva, Mo. USAFinishing BalmSurgi-cream use to put a balm in their hair removal kit, that contained aloe vera and bisabolol. This was the greatest balm I ever used. You could put it on a dry spot, and it would literally disolve the area, or you could apply and with a little scrapping, the dry crusty spot would disolve. If anyone knows of that balm, let the world know.posted Feb 8, 2010Link to this post

The Final Days of Traditional Beliefs? - Part Two
by Matthew Bauer
In my last article, I began explaining why I feel the traditional theories behind Chinese medicine are more at risk today than at any other time in the history of this medical system. I described three different groups of acupuncture supporters who are critical of the theories taught in most Chinese medicine training programs. I also mentioned that a fourth group - modern historians - represented another challenge of sorts to traditional theories. In this article, I will expand on why I feel the emerging consensus among historians of Chinese medicine should be cause for concern for the Chinese medicine community and compel us to pay more attention to questions regarding the roots of our beloved medical art.

15 July 1978 Dear Dr Hyatt: I regret more than I can say that commitments in Europe will make it impossible for me to attend the birthday celebration for Brooks Hays on August 8. Few Americans have done so much to further the cause of tolerances, understanding and fellowship among diverse races and creeds; and no one in our time has done it with such delicious wit and sagacious humor. Brooks Hays is an exemplary American. His only trouble, so far as I can see, is that, when he claims to be 80, he is obviously telling one of his Arkansas tall tales. Please give Brooks and Marion Hays the admiring love of their old friends Arthur and Alexandra Schlesinger Dr. David Hyatt National Conference of Christians and Jews

AbstractThe impact of hand-rearing on the morphology and physiology of captive and wild grey partridges (Perdix perdix) and capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus) was studied in three feeding trials conducted under laboratory conditions, and two comparative studies between wild and captive birds. Finally, wild and hand-reared grey partridges from several localities in Europe were sampled and the control region 1 of mitochondrial DNA was sequenced to reveal genetic variation between populations, as well as to compare wild and captive stocks. Wild capercaillies had heavier pectoral muscles, hearts, livers and gizzards, longer small intestines than hand-reared ones, and a higher cytochrome-c oxidase activity in muscle and heart. Invertebrates were essential to the growth, primary and temperature regulation development in grey partridge chicks. Fish was not sufficient to replace invertebrates in the diet. A change in diet from commercial to natural decreased the assimilation efficiency in the grey partridge. It also increased the mass of gizzard reflecting the need for greater grinding ability. Of hepatic P450 enzymes used in this study 7-ethoxyresorufin-0-deethylase and 7-pentoxyresorufin-0-deethylase differed between wild and hand-reared birds. Coumarin-7-hydroxylase activity was higher in grey partridges than capercaillies. Diet differences may have caused these differences. Quebracho tannin added to the diet lowered nitrogen concentration in caecal feces, and elevated the level of excreted tannin. Otherwise its effects were slight. Mitochondrial control region revealed 14 variable sites between two main lineages detected. Nucleotide and haplotype diversities varied greatly between populations. The markedly deep divergence between the two lineages indicated most probably post-glacial recolonisations from geographically isolated refuges. In Finland, wild birds represented the eastern lineage, while the farmstock represented the western lineage. Surprisingly little trace, contrary to expectations, from the large-scale releasing of imported partridges could be seen in the European populations. |

text: Dec 1, 2013 15:20 James Gill: The wheels on the bus James Gill: The wheels on the bus James Gill| Advocate columnist Dec. 01, 2013 Comments It is no surprise that the Capital Area Transit System board in Baton Rouge screwed up when it tried to put the fix in. The board screws everything up. It was true to form when trying to hand a management contract, worth $1.5 million over 18 months, to the only contender with no relevant experience. A CATS committee chose the SJB Group of Baton Rouge over three rivals of national and international renown after an evaluation that had every appearance of a sham. Amid howls of protest from Mayor Kip Holden and Metro Council members, however, the board backed off when the committee's choice came up for ratification, voting to toss out all proposals and start over. This was not how taxpayers in Baton Rouge and Baker expected their money to be spent when they approved a 10.6-mill increase last year. We already knew that many of the improvements promised when that tax was put on the ballot were not going to happen, and whether Baton Rouge will ever get the bus service its economy needs is an open question. Probably not so long as this board runs the show is the answer. Its chairman, Isaiah Marshall, took an unconventional approach to the choice of management company. The technical evaluation of bids has always been left to staffers, but on this occasion, Marshall put himself and three other board members on a team of six. The only evaluator from outside CATS, a Baton Rouge airport manager named Jason Wilson, included a zero among his scores for all bidders save SJB. This might cause alarm in the New Orleans area, where one of those companies, Veolia, has long been a big player in transit, and is responsible for the city's bus and streetcar services. It is hard to believe Veolia was not worth a single point for "approach to the project and ability to meet deadlines." Its other scores in that category ranged from 15 to a perfect 30. Emily Efferson, director of procurement for CATS, said anomalous scores may indicate further investigation is called for; an evaluator handing out zeroes willy nilly may be disqualified. Efferson's views would normally be crucial, for her responsibilities include supervising the selection of contractors. On this occasion, however, Marshall shunted her aside in favor of CATS attorney Creighton Abadie, purportedly in order to "expedite" matters. That hasn't worked out too well. Had Wilson's bizarre numbers not counted, Veolia would have been clearly top-rated and Baton Rouge might now be taking its first halting steps towards efficient mass transit. Instead, a committee of four board members, including Marshall and another who had doubled as an evaluator, gave their blessing to SJB. All that remained was for Marshall and the full board to ratify the recommendation from Marshall's committee that the scores awarded by Marshall's evaluators be accepted. Marshall convened a meeting to do so last week, but evidently figured out the losing candidates were likely to sue and attract even more attention to the catastrophe he presides over. But even as embarrassment forced his retreat, Marshall insisted his critics were "classless," presumably on the theory that the unvarnished truth is vulgar. Marshall explained that he had to commandeer the evaluation phase because the future of public transit is so "important" that board members needed to "view the proposals and public presentations." But that reasoning immediately lost much of its cogency when Marshall announced that board members would be excluded from evaluations next time around. An improved bus service will ultimately emerge if only because CATS has so much money to spend on it, albeit nowhere near as much as projected. When the new tax was proposed, voters were told it would add about $18 million per year to the CATS budget, but about $6 million of that was moonshine. CATS, for instance, included an annual $3.6 million subsidy that Metro Council members had made clear would be discontinued if the property tax passed. Turned out they were serious. CATS also figured the bus tax would pass in Zachary, a view never shared by anyone who lives there, and another $1.1 million went out the window. Another quaint CATS notion was that the homestead exemption would not apply to the bus tax, but the attorney general read the law otherwise to deliver another hit, this one to the tune of $2.2 million. Thus, CATS announced last fall, of the eight new express lines promised in the election campaign, only two would now be delivered. Various other upgrades would have to be abandoned too. The need for management help was becoming urgent. James Gill can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe
