You've Just Been Diagnosed
The term Parkinson's is used to describe a progressive, neurological disorder; the result of a loss of dopamine in the base of the brain called the substantia nigra. If you've just been told that you have Parkinson's, the shock of such news can be overwhelming. It can make you feel lost and very lonely. While it is perfectly natural to feel that way, we want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you've just been diagnosed, or you've known for some time, there are two things you should do.
You should visit your doctor again and ask all the questions you may have about your condition. Even if your doctor gave you all the information during your last visit, do not be embarrassed if you've forgotten anything or you have more questions. Your doctor understands and wants to make sure you have all the information you need. Get as much information as you can – contact us toll –free at 1-800-663-2468
What is the Treatment for Parkinson's?
Always discuss treatment options with your Doctor. Medications are available to compensate for the lack of dopamine and help alleviate symptoms. Dopamine is crucial to human movement and is the neurotransmitter that helps transmit messages to the areas of the brain that initiate and control your movement and balance. These dopamine messages make sure that muscles work smoothly, under precise control, and without unwanted movement. Treatment is needed to correct the deficiency of dopamine. Replacing the dopamine alleviates the symptoms but does not halt the progression of the disorder. As symptoms progress more medication is needed. It is important to remember that taking medication on time is an integral part of treatment. While treatment does enable people to function better, it is not perfect and can cause side effects. It is important to recognize that just like you, Parkinson's is very individual and no two people with Parkinson's will have the exact same symptoms or the same rate of progression.
Adjunctive Therapies
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is aimed at promoting independence and improving all aspects of functional ability by a) Assessing mobility, balance and posture and prescribing a specific exercise program, and b) Analyzing walking problems and suggesting strategies/tips or adaptive aids.
Speech Language Pathology
Speech Language Pathology is aimed at evaluating speech problems and designing a therapy program to meet individual needs.
Surgical options
There are a number of surgical options available, however, each has a very strict criteria that must be met before being considered. Check with your doctor to see what is available and if you would be a candidate.
Combined therapies for optimal treatment
Although the treatment of Parkinson's is mainly pharmacological, the addition of various complementary treatments has been shown to be very effective at better controlling certain symptoms or even delaying their appearance. Accordingly, posture, walking, balance, rigidity, endurance and pain control are likely to be improved with physiotherapy. The maintenance of autonomy in all aspects of daily and domestic life may be improved by an evaluation and follow-up with an occupational therapist. Communication and speech can be maintained or corrected by the interventions of a speech-language pathologist. A consultation with a dietician may be useful in restoring the medication's effectiveness or to counter side effects. A global approach greatly improves the treatment of Parkinson's and may ensure a better quality of life for those suffering from it.
Alternative Treatments
What consideration should be given to alternative therapies and medicine?
Interest in alternative approaches to health continues to grow. Approaches such as massage, homeopathy, aromatherapy, pressure therapy and reflexology are gaining increasing consideration as alternatives to so-called traditional medicine. While it is true that there is no harm in trying to feel better, these therapies should be viewed with caution and discernment. For example, choose a type of massage that is best suited to your needs, condition and energy level.
If you have Parkinson's, it is essential that you find out as much as you can about the quality and benefits of all these approaches as some will be better suited than others to your specific needs. The best choice of therapies, be they traditional or alternative, is one that is made in an informed manner. Which therapies to choose and which to reject should be discussed with your physician, so as to plan the interventions most likely to be effective for your well being and health.
Alternative therapies should always be undertaken on the advice of your doctor and should complement your current treatment regime. Never stop treatment/medications without consulting your doctor and be sure to always discuss treatment options with your them.
Who can I involve in my care?
The Health Care Professional/Interdisciplinary Team - The Health Care Professional Team is comprised of specialists who may be involved in the therapeutic treatment of specific Parkinson symptoms. Please remember not all of the listed specialists will be covered by MSI.
The General Practitioner (GP) or family doctor - is whom most people with Parkinson's will see for general healthcare advice. This doctor will maintain all of your records. Typically the General Practitioner or the Neurologist will be the primary contact on the care team - referring the patients as needed to the appropriate specialists.
The Neurologist - specializes in neurological disorders. Thus, they can provide the person living with Parkinson's the most specific care in terms of the disorder. The neurologist will typically determine treatment and adjust medications as needed. A patient should see the neurologist annually. The GP might consult with the neurologist throughout the year on your care as needed.
The Pharmacist - is the record keeper of all of the medications a person with Parkinson's uses. The patient should build a relationship with one pharmacist or pharmacy. The pharmacist can offer advice on medications, medical coverage and drug plans in consultation with your doctor. Be sure to tell your pharmacist about any supplements or over the counter medication that you are taking. Some medications do react when taken in combination with others and could cause serious adverse side effects.
The Psychiatrist - Psychiatrists/Psychologists play an important role if the person living with Parkinson's is experiencing depression or other issues of mental health. Depression is manageable and there are effective treatments available.
The Speech Language Pathologist - can provide a therapeutic speech program to the person living with Parkinson's if required. Based on the speech issues a person is experiencing they will be given a series of exercises to work on at home. They can also assist with issues such as excessive saliva and swallowing difficulties.
The Occupational Therapist (OT) - would assess the symptoms of the person living with Parkinson's and make recommendations on tools and assistive devices that would make daily living safer and easier. Usually an OT is called in when medications are not fully meeting the needs of the patient. However, having an OT assessment earlier on could improve quality of life. Many assistive devices are tax deductible.
Young Onset
Generally, regardless of the age at which Parkinson's is diagnosed, the symptoms are quite similar, although certain differences are recognized when it starts before age forty. It seems that dystonia (involuntary muscle contraction) is more frequent in younger people and that the motor fluctuations and dyskinesia (involuntary movements) associated with Levodopa treatment appear much earlier in this group. On the other hand, trembling is less common in younger people and cognitive disorders (memory impairment, concentration difficulties) are also more rare.
Thousands of young adults around the world are living with Parkinson's . Like you, they're tackling the challenges of career, parenting and pursuing goals for the future. We understand that whether you are newly diagnosed or if you have been living with the condition for years, having Parkinson's at a young age creates very particular issues, questions and concerns, such as:
Does Parkinson's affect the mind?
Parkinson's is a neurological disorder, mainly affecting motor skills, however, there is increasing research to suggest that there are cognitive and behavioural changes related to Parkinson's. In the majority of cases, it slows the body, not the mind. However, when brain cells are affected by medication, some emotional and cognitive/behavioural changes can be expected.
Anxiety and depression are very common among people with Parkinson's and may occur due to seratonin imbalance, a side effect of certain medications. This may eventually lead to loss of memory. Anxiety and depression are difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are parallel to those of Parkinson's.
Understanding Change
Living with Parkinson's takes a great deal of care and understanding. Knowledge is the key and we encourage you to learn all you can. The more you know, the better prepared you'll be to face the challenge.
Coping and Independence
Parkinson's can be very stressful to the person experiencing the symptoms, as well as the care-partner and family and friends. This stress can manifest itself physically, psychologically and emotionally. Adjusting to the challenge is not easy for anyone.
Parkinson Society Maritime Region offers support groups where you can find mutual sharing, emotional support, understanding and practical information. These groups can be of a social nature or more formal where you can learn about various coping skills. We encourage you to get involved.
Disability and Taxation
Considering applying for Canada Pension Disability?
If you no longer feel you can work, but are under age 65, the federal government offers a program called the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits.
For more information on the details or how to apply for this program, call Human Resources & Social Development Canada (HRSDC) at 1-800-277 Ext 9914 or visit their website
CPP disability also provides a children's benefit. If you have a child/children under the age of 18, or between the ages of 18-25, visit their website for more information.
Want to know what you can claim as a deduction or credit on your income tax return? Call 1-800-959-8281 or visit Revenue Canada's website.
If you consider yourself to have a severe or prolonged impairment in physical or mental function, you might want to learn more about the Disability Tax Credit(form T2201).

Thanks to the aftermarket, you can equip your classic Chevy with all sorts of modern performance and luxury items that'll make an old car feel like a newer one. From modern fuel injection, to power windows, to high-tech stereo systems, pretty much any option you can find on a new car, you can install on an old one.
The problem is, the old factory wiring harnesses of the classic cars were never meant to handle the electrical load of modern accessories, or the sheer number of them. It's the same thing as having 12 different appliances in your kitchen, but only one outlet to plug them into. Even if you add ways to plug more accessories into your original wiring harness, it won't be long before the electrical load of all the modern equipment will melt the factory harness, and possibly turn the car into a fireball.
But the same aftermarket that's brought you all the high tech stuff to equip your Chevy also has the solution, a modern wiring harness capable of handling just about anything, with plenty of accessory hookups so you can customize and equip your old car with anything you're thinking about.
Our project '57 was a prime candidate for an improved, 21st century wiring harness. After having a Classic Instruments gauge upgrade, an MSD-6 ignition box, and electric fans added, the factory '57 wiring harness (although fairly new from the car's earlier restoration) couldn't handle the power windows and stereo upgrades the car was slated for. So, we called the electrical gurus at Painless Performance to get one of their Tri-Five 18-circuit wiring harness kits.
A few weeks later, Painless founder Dennis Overholser showed up at our door with the kit we needed and his tools to help us install the harness. Dennis founded Painless Performance in 1990 (then Perfect Performance Products) to handle the needs of street rodders who were installing modern parts on older cars looking for a reliable wiring harness that was easy to install. From there the company took off, becoming one of the leading suppliers of aftermarket harnesses to the hobby.
Dennis took one look at the sorry state of the wiring in our '57, and knew he had his work cut out for him. Follow along as we upgrade the wiring in our hardtop.

I own 3 of these and couldn't be happier. They keep you feeling snug without being totally smushed/uncomfortable. This bra handles a tough, sweaty workout really well - nothing is worse than chaffing and this one always handles runs, boxing, and tough days at the gym. Highly recommended and runs true to size.

Comments about Infiniti Bra A/B:
I have tried every Brooks sports bra. This one is by far my favorite. It has a great fit is not too tight like what I have experienced with the versatile bra. I do like the glycerin because the padding is nice for shape. However, it is not as durable and can become odoriferous after numerous uses.
This bra has the best fit, durability and does not get the "pills" on the chest band over time.
I am 5'5" 115 wear a B34 bra. I ordered a small it fits very great!

The Leech and His Patient, Illustration for The Scarlet Letter
Executed in the spare linear style that characterizes the work of F. O. C. Darley, this ink drawing portrays a scene from Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter (originally published in 1850), in which Roger Chillingworth, a physician and Hester Prynne's long-lost husband, tries to convince the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, her lover, to confess the secret affair. Notwithstanding the economy of his line, Darley used body language and richly detailed period costume and setting to dramatize the story. For example, Chillingworth's crooked pose reflects his bent for revenge, and Dimmesdale's gesture of clutching his heart alludes to the scarlet A (for "adulteress") that Hester wears on her chest.

This is the press release for Grey's Anatomy: Season 6 Episode 10 entitled Holidaze:
As Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's pass, Miranda is visited by her father, William, who disapproves of her choices in life; meanwhile, Mark and Lexie must cope with the shocking arrival of a woman from his past, and Thatcher Grey questions the Chief's recent behavior as Meredith comes to his defense, on "Grey's Anatomy."
It's already been revealed that one of the story lines to follow is Mark's discovery that he has a grown child and now must deal with some new, serious situations that he's never encountered before.
Another storyline of interest that Grey's Anatomy SE0610 will begin to spotlight is the Chief falling off the wagon.
It's also been revealed that how the doctors cope with this situation will be studied in-depth. Luckily, it has been revealed that there's more to it than the stereo-typical "botched surgery" storyline that was played out and beaten senseless in "Lost."
As far as Miranda and her father go on S06E10: Holidaze, there are so many adult children who've had the misfortune of having to deal with disappointed parents that this is just another in a long line of dysfunctional connections.
It will fall on the writers and actors to bring something new to the scenario.
Also watch for a familiar patient under the care of Cristina and Jackson. Plus, that Cristina, Owen, Teddy triangle might not be as typical as it's being made out to be.
Grey's Anatomy: Season 6 Episode 10: Holidaze is scheduled to air Thursday, November 19th on ABC.

Probably. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that a girl first see a gynecologist between the ages of 13 and 15.
Other health care providers who see teens for sexual health wellness visits include adolescent medicine physicians and family practice doctors, as well as some nurses with advanced training.

Ok, I am speculating like a lot of you on who Undertaker's next victim should be for 20-0......and I have figured out a dream match for the streak, the way to book it, and it is a retirement match on both sides.
First, don't have Taker wrestle at this year's mania. Everyone is already paying attention to the Rock-Cena fiasco and the streak needs to be the focal point of the show.
Ok, I like a lot of you, have found A TON of problems with the WWE nowadays. I've been sitting and thinking about what I could do as a fan, if I had total control for about 2 years. Let me know what you think....
1. Cena turns heel: It needs to happen. He's become Hogan-ish, nobody wants him as face right now because it's gotten stale and oh so predictable. His deal is only believable
Ok folks, I have it. This is how to fix the WWE.
1. Unify the WWE and World titles, call it the WWE Championship. Get rid of the stupid spinner belt, and the title is defended on both shows to allow EVERYONE to have a crack at it. It would make for better and more interesting matches and it wouldn't be the same shit day after day.
2. Unify the Womens and Divas

Spanish and Business Major Studies Abroad
Kevin Beck sets up his own study abroad program at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru
Visiting the amazing world heritage sites Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines, seeing Lake Titicaca and taking a trip through the Amazon jungle are but a few of the things Kevin Beck, a junior at Roanoke College, did during his year abroad in Peru. He wanted to improve his Spanish language skills and learn more about Hispanic customs. The only way he saw of fulfilling his ambition was to completely immerse himself in a foreign culture.
Beck is a double major in business administration and Spanish and a part of Roanoke's Honors program. "I couldn't imagine finishing a Spanish major without studying abroad and actually seeing the culture and getting into the language," he says. That is why he made the decision to study at Lima's oldest private higher-learning institution, the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
Beck chose one of the most prestigious universities in Peru as his destination. Although Roanoke College did not have a direct exchange program with the institution of his choice, he had no trouble arranging for credits to be transferred.
Dr. Lynn Talbot, chairperson of the Foreign Languages Department and Beck's academic advisor, was impressed with his ambition to study in Peru. Talbot helped Beck decipher some of the official documents and suggested possible classes that he could take while at the host university. "I've never had such a resourceful student before - he found what he wanted, and then created his own study abroad program," she says.
Beck overcame the language barrier and adapted to the new culture while taking unusual classes with demanding professors. "It was challenging, but it was what I wanted to do," he says. Beck lived in Lima with a Peruvian family arranged through his host university. He chose this option because it allowed him to immerse himself in the culture completely. "It was great. I lived right down the street from the Pacific Ocean," Beck says.
The two children spoke English, but the mother and the maid spoke only Spanish. Originally from Huntington Station, N.Y., Beck had never been outside the United States before. He explains that Peruvians were not completely dissimilar to people where he was from; the only differences he saw were cultural.
Beck received the Fowler Legacy scholarship to assist in his travels abroad. The program provides opportunities for students to pursue educational experiences related to public issues that extend beyond the classroom. It enabled Beck to experience the culture by visiting amazing ancient locations such as the lost city of the Incas and the gigantic geoglyphs located in the Nazca dessert.
Talbot says that Beck had a clearly outstanding experience. "Not everyone could have done what Kevin did because it requires an adventurous spirit and a willingness to face the unknown alone, but for someone like Kevin, this was a perfect option," she says.

I'm wondering if anyone else here has the same bug as me:
1. Open up the WIndows Store
2. Activate the AppBar
3. Press the "Your apps" button
4. Chose "Apps installed on this pc" for the list
Does this list display all apps that you have downloaded, even apps thar are not actually installed for you? Because it does for me, which is kind of annoying and defeats the purpose for it. (It displays exactly the same info as the "List all apps" option)

Ok, so selinux is a tad complex. No worries, I'll get it. Gentoo is quite nice, but building from stage one takes a while. And then I'll want to do it all again to harden it properly. I'm having fun! Wheeeee!
Weird shit going on. Gotta wait a bit and see what will happen. As they say (curse you actually): may you live in interesting times. Right. Just remember to duck in time.
Woke up this morning, though I wasn't planning on doing so. Not much to do today. House is clean, pretty much. Kitchen is squeaky clean. Did some reading, which is a pretty decent waste of time. Food was fast: nuked leftovers.
Best wishes to badvogato, the sole reason I'm rated master.
I still miss badvogato.org. Segfault is bored too *mmrruaaggh bluh!*.
Nope, not till next week.
Wonder what piles of nastiness will be heaped upon us this year. Last years load certainly managed to keep us fully occupied.
Das Schloss (Kafka). Still doesn't make sense, but that's the idea of the book anyway, so that makes sense.
The usual bombings and massacres. On a bright note: even as late as today some survivors were still found in the ruins of Bam. And of course no opportunity is missed to raise the flag. Pretty insensitive imho, but probably nobody had even thought that the locals might have some feelings concerning their presence and visibility thereof. However sactions agains Iran have been suspended for 90 days, which is a good thing. Hmmm, I should transfer some funds myself...
Hey, I found a cd that was not listed yet in freedb. Wheee! Whatever.
Converting my cd's to ogg, about 75% done now. Connected my computer to the hifiset and found out how to get all 4 speakers to make the appropriate noises. Gamix is a seriously evil, ugly app.
Objective reality is a synthetic construct, dealing with a hypothetical universalization of a multitude of subjective realties (P.K.Dick)
Cities in Flight: all in all a very good read, but a weak end
Babel-17: wonderfully weird and exiting
Empire Star: absolutely brilliant, lovely philosophical and creative
todo: Das Schloss - Franz Kafka (30% to go); Inversions - Ian Banks; Handbook of Applied Cryptography - Menezes, van Oorschot, Vanstone (chapters 2 and 3 for now); various security related readme's and howto's
Cleaned the bathroom. I've actually got to see white tiles again

Easy-to-use and flexible program when evaluating the indoor climate and energy conditions as well as the designing of the heating, cooling and ventilation plants. tsbi3 is a tool for consulting engineering companies, research institutes and others who need to simulate and calculate the thermal working environment, energy consumption, control functions, energy saving measures in buildings and the utilisation of passive solar energy.
tsbi3 permits calculation on complex buildings with several (in principle indefinitely many) rooms and zones simultaneously. tsbi3 utilises data from all structures in the thermal evaluation. All depending on the complexity of the building and the systems, a total of 200-400 data, which usually are to be taken direct from the project material, must be given.
energy performance, design, retrofit, research, residential and commercial buildings, indoor climate
Expertise Required
Users must have some general knowledge on building design and how buildings behave thermally in order create the building model. Courses are offered.
Approximately 200 licences, of which about 150 in Denmark.
Engineers, researchers and students.
When using the tsbi3 the building is divided into rooms or zones where materials, building component, equipment and systems used are described as follows:
Rooms and zones
The net and gross area, net height, distribution of solar radiation, surfaces surrounding the zone as well as equipment and systems in the zone.
Structures and materials
Description of type, density, thermal capacity and thermal conductivity. Walls, floors and roof constructions are built in layers according to the description of the materials. The structures are joined together with the windows and doors to make entire surfaces stating the orientation and slope. Sunshades are defined in relation to the surfaces.
Equipment and functions
Internal loads (e.g. persons, lighting, equipment, moisture load), natural ventilation (e.g. infiltration, venting), heating and cooling radiators, and ventilation systems. All such "systems" are defined by the physical component as well as how it is controlled and when in function.
Central and local ventilation plants
Supply and exhaust fans as well as total pressure rise and total efficiency. Units of heat recovery, heating and cooling coils, and humidifiers. Together with the control strategy chosen, these data form the base for calculating the power demand and energy consumption necessary for running the plants.
Automatic control strategies
Are defined for each individual ventilation plant, e.g. changes in temperature, volume flow, moisture content, readjustment between winter and summer periods. Differentiation is made between data of the physical components of the plant (in the company catalogue) and the control function (automatic or manual equipment).
Default libraries
tsbi3 comes with standard libraries for: constructions (walls, floors, roofs, and internal walls), materials, glass, window frames, people loads, schedules and national constants. The user can choose from these libraries or define new input.
Input interface:
Input is given as texts in a menu-driven DOS based environment.
The user can define any of the calculated parameters (more than 67 for each zone plus data from ambient climate, central ventilation plant (if any) and solar walls (if any) as output on hourly basis, in either. tabular or graphically form. The variables can also be presented in "sum" graphs or tables. Finally the energy balances for each zone or the whole building can be shown.
Computer Platform
PC-compatible, 486 or higher.
Programming Language
C and assembler.
Analysis of the indoor thermal climate in complex buildings or buildings with special requirements for the indoor climate.
No true geometry, and thereby weak models for airflows. Should not be used for detailed analyses of moisture conditions in indoor air.

Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc., is an American multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing consumer electronics and software products. The company's best-known hardware products include the Macintosh line of personal computers, the iPod line of portable media players, and the iPhone. Apple's software products include the Mac OS X operating system, iTunes media browser, the iLife suite of multimedia and creativity software, and Final Cut Studio, a suite of professional audio- and film-industry software products. The company operates more than 200 retail stores in seven countries and an online store where hardware and software products are sold.
Established in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 and incorporated January 3, 1977, the company was called "Apple Computer, Inc." for its first 30 years, but dropped the word "Computer" on January 9, 2007 to reflect the company's ongoing expansion into the consumer electronics market in addition to its traditional focus on personal computers. Apple has about 28,000 employees worldwide and had worldwide annual sales of US$24 billion in its fiscal year ending September 29, 2007. For reasons varying from its philosophy of comprehensive aesthetic design to its distinctive advertising campaigns, Apple has established a unique reputation in the consumer electronics industry. This includes a customer base that is devoted to the company and its brand, particularly in the United States. Fortune magazine named Apple the most admired company in the United States.
Apple was established on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, to sell the Apple I personal computer kit. They were hand-built by Wozniak and first shown to the public at the Homebrew Computer Club. The Apple I was sold as a motherboard (with CPU, RAM, and basic textual-video chips)—less than what is today considered a complete personal computer. The Apple I went on sale in July 1976 and was market-priced at US$666.66.
Apple was incorporated January 3, 1977 without Wayne, who sold his share of the company back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800. Mike Markkula provided essential business expertise and funding of US$250,000 during the incorporation of Apple.
The Apple II was introduced on April 16, 1977 at the first West Coast Computer Faire. It differed from its major rivals, the TRS-80 and Commodore PET, because it came with color graphics and an open architecture. While early models used ordinary cassette tapes as storage devices, they were superseded by the introduction of a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive and interface, the Disk II.
The Apple II was chosen to be the desktop platform for the first "killer app" of the business world—the VisiCalc spreadsheet program. VisiCalc created a business market for the Apple II, and gave home users an additional reason to buy an Apple II—compatibility with the office. According to Brian Bagnall, Apple exaggerated its sales figures and was a distant third place to Commodore and Tandy until VisiCalc came along.
By the end of the 1970s, Apple had a staff of computer designers and a production line. The Apple II was succeeded by the Apple III in May 1980 as the company competed with IBM and Microsoft in the business and corporate computing market.
Jobs and several Apple employees including Jef Raskin visited Xerox PARC in December 1979 to see the Xerox Alto. Xerox granted Apple engineers three days of access to the PARC facilities in return for US$1 million in pre-IPO Apple stock. Jobs was immediately convinced that all future computers would use a GUI, and development of a GUI began for the Apple Lisa.
Steve Jobs began working on the Apple Lisa in 1978 but in 1982 he was pushed from the Lisa team due to infighting, and took over Jef Raskin's low-cost-computer project, the Macintosh. A turf war broke out between Lisa's "corporate shirts" and Jobs' "pirates" over which product would ship first and save Apple. Lisa won the race in 1983 and became the first personal computer sold to the public with a GUI, but was a commercial failure due to its high price tag and limited software titles.
In 1984, Apple next launched the Macintosh. Its debut was announced by the now famous US$1.5 million television commercial, "1984." It was directed by Ridley Scott, aired during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984, and is now considered a watershed event for Apple's success and a masterpiece.
The Macintosh initially sold well, but follow-up sales were not strong. The machine's fortunes changed with the introduction of the LaserWriter, the first laser printer to be offered at a reasonable price point, and PageMaker, an early desktop publishing package. The Mac was particularly powerful in this market due to its advanced graphics capabilities, which were already necessarily built-in to create the intuitive Macintosh GUI. It has been suggested that the combination of these three products was responsible for the creation of the desktop publishing market. As desktop publishing became widespread, Apple's sales reached new highs and the company had its initial public offering on September 7, 1984.
A power struggle developed between Jobs and new CEO John Sculley in 1985. Apple's board of directors sided with Sculley and Jobs was removed from his managerial duties. Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT Inc. the same year.
Apple's sustained growth during the early 1980s was partly due to its leadership in the education sector, attributed to their adaptation of the programming language LOGO, used in many schools with the Apple II. The drive into education was accentuated in California with the donation of one Apple II and one Apple LOGO software package to each public school in the state.
Having learned several painful lessons after introducing the bulky Macintosh Portable in 1989, Apple introduced the PowerBook in 1991, which established the modern form and ergonomic layout of the laptop computer.
The same year, Apple introduced System 7, a major upgrade to the operating system which added color to the interface and introduced new networking capabilities. It remained the architectural basis for Mac OS until 2001.
The success of the PowerBook and other products led to increasing revenue. For some time, it appeared that Apple could do no wrong, introducing fresh new products and generating increasing profits in the process. The magazine MacAddict named the period between 1989 and 1991 as the "first golden age" of the Macintosh.
Following the success of the LC, Apple introduced the Centris line, a low end Quadra offering, and the ill-fated Performa line which was sold in several confusing configurations and software bundles to avoid competing with the various consumer outlets such as Sears, Price Club and Wal-Mart, the primary dealers for these models. The end result was disastrous for Apple as consumers did not understand the difference between models.
During this time Apple experimented with a number of other failed consumer targeted products including digital cameras, portable CD audio players, speakers, video consoles and TV appliances. Enormous resources were also invested in the problem-plagued Newton division based on John Sculley's unrealistic market forecasts. Ultimately, all of this proved be too-little-too-late for Apple as their market share and stock prices continued to slide.
Apple saw the Apple II Family as too expensive to produce, while taking away sales from the low end Macintosh. In 1990 Apple released the Macintosh LC with a single expansion slot for the Apple IIe Card to migrate Apple II users to the Macintosh platform. Apple stopped selling the Apple IIe in 1993.
Microsoft continued to gain market share with Windows, focusing on delivering software with cheap commodity PCs while Apple was delivering a richly engineered, but expensive, experience. Apple relied on high profit margins and never developed a clear response. Instead they sued Microsoft for using a graphical user interface similar to the Apple Lisa in Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation.
The lawsuit dragged on for years before being thrown out of court. At the same time, a series of major product flops and missed deadlines destroyed Apple's reputation and Sculley was replaced by Michael Spindler.
By the early 1990s, Apple was developing alternative platforms to the Macintosh, such as the A/UX. The Macintosh platform was becoming outdated since it was not built for multitasking, and several important software routines were programmed directly into the hardware. In addition, Apple was facing competition from OS/2 and UNIX vendors like Sun Microsystems. The Macintosh would need to be replaced by a new platform, or reworked to run on more powerful hardware.
In 1994, Apple allied with IBM and Motorola in the AIM alliance. The goal was to create a new computing platform (the PowerPC Reference Platform), which would use IBM and Motorola hardware coupled with Apple's software. The AIM alliance hoped that PReP's performance and Apple's software would leave the PC far behind, thus countering Microsoft. The same year, Apple introduced the Power Macintosh, the first of many Apple computers to use IBM's PowerPC processor.
In 1996, Michael Spindler was replaced by Gil Amelio as CEO. Gil Amelio made many changes at Apple, including massive layoffs. After multiple failed attempts to improve Mac OS, first with the Taligent project, then later with Copland and Gershwin, Amelio chose to purchase NeXT and its NeXTSTEP operating system, bringing Steve Jobs back to Apple as an advisor. On July 9, 1997, Gil Amelio was ousted by the board of directors after overseeing a three-year record-low stock price and crippling financial losses. Jobs became the interim CEO and began restructuring the company's product line.
At the 1997 Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would join Microsoft to release new versions of Microsoft Office for the Macintosh, and that Microsoft made a US$150 million investment in non-voting Apple stock.
On November 10, 1997, Apple introduced the Apple Store, tied to a new build-to-order manufacturing strategy.
On August 15, 1998, Apple introduced a new all-in-one computer reminiscent of the Macintosh 128K: the iMac. The iMac design team was led by Jonathan Ive, who would later design the iPod and the iPhone. The iMac featured current technology and a groundbreaking design. It sold close to 800,000 units in its first five months and returned Apple to profitability for the first time since 1993.
Through this period, Apple purchased several companies to create a portfolio of professional and consumer-oriented digital production software. In 1998, Apple announced the purchase of Macromedia's Final Cut software, signaling its expansion into the digital video editing market. The following year, Apple released two video editing products: iMovie for consumers, and Final Cut Pro for professionals, the latter of which has gone on to be a significant video-editing program, with 800,000 registered users in early 2007. In 2002 Apple purchased Nothing Real for their advanced digital compositing application Shake, as well as Emagic for their music productivity application Logic, which led to the development of their consumer-level GarageBand application. iPhoto's release the same year completed the iLife suite.
Mac OS X, based on NeXT's OPENSTEP and BSD Unix was released on March 24, 2001, after several years of development. Aimed at consumers and professionals alike, Mac OS X aimed to combine the stability, reliability and security of Unix with the ease of use afforded by an overhauled user interface. To aid users in migrating from Mac OS 9, the new operating system allowed the use of OS 9 applications through Mac OS X's Classic environment.
On May 19, 2001, Apple opened the first official Apple Retail Stores in Virginia and California. The same year, Apple introduced the iPod portable digital audio player. The product was phenomenally successful — over 100 million units were sold within six years. In 2003, Apple's iTunes Store was introduced, offering online music downloads for US$0.99 a song and integration with the iPod. The service quickly became the market leader in online music services, with over 5 billion downloads by June 19th 2008.
Since 2001 Apple's design team has progressively abandoned the use of translucent colored plastics first used in the iMac G3. This began with the titanium PowerBook and was followed by the white polycarbonate iBook and the flat-panel iMac.
In the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote address on June 6, 2005, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would begin producing Intel-based Mac computers in 2006. On January 10, 2006, the new MacBook Pro and iMac became the first Apple computers to utilize Intel's Core Duo CPU. By August 7, 2006 Apple had transitioned the entire Mac product line to Intel chips, over 1 year sooner than announced. The Power Mac, iBook and Powerbook brands were retired during the transition, the Mac Pro, Macbook and Macbook Pro becoming their respective successors.
Apple also introduced Boot Camp to help users install Windows XP on their Intel Macs alongside Mac OS X.
Apple's success during this period was evident in its stock price. Between early 2003 and 2006, the price of Apple's stock increased more than tenfold, from around US$6 per share (split-adjusted) to over US$80. In January 2006, Apple's market cap surpassed that of Dell. Nine years prior, Dell's CEO Michael Dell said that if he ran Apple he would "shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Delivering his keynote at Macworld on January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced that Apple Computer, Inc. would from that point on be known as Apple Inc. The event also saw the announcement of the iPhone and the Apple TV. The following day, Apple shares hit US$97.80, an all-time high. In May, Apple's share price passed the US$100 mark.
On February 7, 2007, Apple indicated that it would sell music on the iTunes Store without DRM (which would allow tracks to be played on third-party players) if record labels would agree to drop the technology. On April 2, 2007, Apple and EMI jointly announced the removal of DRM technology from EMI's catalog in the iTunes Store, effective in May.
On July 11, 2008, Apple launched the App Store to sell third-party applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Within a month, the store sold 60 million applications and brought in US$1 million daily on average, with Steve Jobs speculating that the App Store could become a billion-dollar business for Apple.
Apple sells a variety of computer accessories for Mac computers including the AirPort wireless networking products, Time Capsule, Apple Cinema Display, Mighty Mouse, the Apple Wireless Keyboard computer keyboard, and the Apple USB Modem.
On October 23, 2001, Apple introduced the iPod digital music player. It has evolved to include various models targeting the needs of different users. The iPod is the market leader in portable music players by a significant margin, with more than 100 million units shipped as of April 9, 2007. Apple has partnered with Nike to introduce the Nike+iPod Sports Kit enabling runners to synchronize and monitor their runs with iTunes and the Nike+ website Apple currently sells four variants of the iPod.
Apple also offers a range of professional software titles. Their range of server software includes the operating system Mac OS X Server; Apple Remote Desktop, a remote systems management application; WebObjects, Java Web application server; and Xsan, a Storage Area Network file system. For the professional creative market, there is Aperture for professional RAW-format photo processing; Final Cut Studio, a video production suite; Logic, a comprehensive music toolkit and Shake, an advanced effects composition program.
Apple also offers online services with MobileMe (formerly .Mac) which bundles personal web pages, email, Groups, iDisk, backup, iSync, and Learning Center online tutorials. MobileMe is a subscription-based internet suite that capitalizes on the ability to store personal data on an online server and thereby keep all web-connected devices in sync.
As the company has grown and been led by a series of chief executives, each with his own idea of what Apple should be, some of its original character has arguably been lost, but Apple still has a reputation for fostering individuality and excellence that reliably draws talented people into its employ, especially after Jobs' return. To recognize the best of its employees, Apple created the Apple Fellows program. Apple Fellows are those who have made extraordinary technical or leadership contributions to personal computing while at the company. The Apple Fellowship has so far been awarded to a few individuals including Bill Atkinson, Steve Capps, Rod Holt, Alan Kay, Guy Kawasaki, Al Alcorn, Don Norman, Rich Page, and Steve Wozniak.
Mac users meet at the European Apple Expo and the San Francisco Macworld Conference & Expo trade shows where Apple introduces new products each year to the industry and public. Mac developers in turn gather at the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
Apple Store openings can draw crowds of thousands, with some waiting in line as much as a day before the opening or flying in from other countries for the event. The New York City Fifth Avenue "Cube" store had a line as long as half a mile; a few Mac fans took the opportunity of the setting to propose marriage. The Ginza opening in Tokyo was estimated in the thousands with a line exceeding eight city blocks.
John Sculley told The Guardian newspaper in 1997: "People talk about technology, but Apple was a marketing company. It was the marketing company of the decade.
Market research indicates that Apple draws its customer base from an unusually artistic, creative, and well-educated population, which may explain the platform's visibility within certain youthful, avant-garde subcultures.
During the Mac's early history Apple generally refused to adopt prevailing industry standards for hardware, instead creating their own. This trend was largely reversed in the late 1990s beginning with Apple's adoption of the PCI bus in the 7500/8500/9500 Power Macs. Apple has since adopted USB, AGP, HyperTransport, Wi-Fi, and other industry standards in its computers and was in some cases a leader in the adoption of such standards such as USB. FireWire is an Apple-originated standard which has seen widespread industry adoption after it was standardized as IEEE 1394.
Ever since the first Apple store opened, Apple has sold third party accessories. This allows, for instance, Nikon and Canon to sell their Mac-compatible digital cameras and camcorders inside the store. Adobe, one of Apples oldest software partners, also sells its Mac-compatible software, as does Microsoft, who sells Microsoft Office for the Mac. Books from John Wiley & Sons, who publishes the For Dummies series of instructional books, are a notable exception however. The publisher's line of books were banned from Apple Stores in 2005 because Steve Jobs disagreed with their editorial policy.
In 2006, Apple announced its intention to build a second campus on 50 acres assembled from various contiguous plots. The new campus, also in Cupertino, will be about one mile (1.6 km) east of the current campus.
While it is generally accepted to have referred to Isaac Newton, a curious urban legend exists that the bitten apple pays homage to the mathematician Alan Turing, who committed suicide by eating an apple he had laced with cyanide. Turing is regarded as one of the fathers of the computer.
In 1998, with the roll out of the new iMac, Apple began to use a monochromatic logo—supposedly at the insistence of recently returned Jobs—nearly identical in shape to its previous rainbow incarnation. However, no specific color is prescribed throughout Apple's software and hardware line. The logo's shape is one of the most recognized brand symbols in the world, identifies all Apple products and retail stores (the name "Apple" is usually not even present) and has been included as stickers in nearly all Macintosh and iPod packages through the years.
Apple's first slogan, "Byte into an Apple", was coined in the late 1970s. From 1997-2002, Apple used the slogan Think Different in advertising campaigns. The slogan had a lasting impact on their image and revived their popularity with the media and customers. Although the slogan has been retired, it is still closely associated with Apple. Apple also has slogans for specific product lines - for example, "iThink, therefore iMac", was used in 1998 to promote the iMac, and "Say hello to iPhone" has been used in iPhone advertisements.
Greenpeace runs a "Guide to Greener Electronics", which rates companies on chemical-disposal waste-reduction practices. In the first edition, released in August 2006, Apple scored 2.7/10. In subsequent editions Apple's score has improved steadily. Apple has soon improved its score to a 4.1/10, placing it in the 45 percentile among 17 other electronic companies and 10th in the rankings.
At the 2007 Macworld Expo, Greenpeace presented a critique of Apple. Rick Hind, the legislative director of Greenpeace's toxics campaign, said, "(The company) is getting greener, but not green enough." Hind commented further, "The Macbook Air has less toxic PVC plastic and less toxic BFRs, but it could have zero and that would make Apple an eco-leader.""
Climate Counts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to directing consumers toward the greenest companies, gave Apple 11 points out of a possible 100 which placed the company last among electronics companies. Climate Counts also labeled Apple with a "stuck icon," and the environmental group added that Apple was "a choice to avoid for the climate conscious consumer." Steve Jobs responded "get out of the computer business (and) go save some whales."
The EPA rates Apple highest amongst producers of notebook computers, and fairly well compared to producers of desktop computers and LCD displays.
In 2007 and 2008, Apple updated the Macbook Pro's backlighting and LCD screens, updating from cold cathode lamps to mercury-free LEDs and arsenic free LCDs respectively.

A LAKE District boat is to join a thousand-strong fleet sailing in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on the Thames this summer.
One of Windermere's well-worn wooden tourist vessels has been selected by Royal organisers to take part in the event – the largest flotilla in modern times.
More than two million people are expected to watch from the embankments of the Thames as the seven-mile procession steers through London waters.
Cumbria's own aptly-named participant, The Queen of the Lake, owned by Windermere Lake Cruises, is currently being repainted and refurbished for the spectacular, on Sunday, June 3.
The flotilla will be led by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family aboard a barge called The Spirit of Chartwell.
It will sail under 14 bridges, alongside groups of narrow boats, historic vessels including World War Two ships from the Dunkirk beaches and replica Tudor ships.
Managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises Nigel Wilkinson said: "We are delighted Cumbria will be represented at such a high-profile, patriotic event which will inevitably strike a cord with the whole country as we celebrate her Majesty the Queen and her 60-year reign together.
"We hope to be able to involve the wider Cumbria community in this project and to give some younger Cumbrians a day out that they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Boat building manager Alex Williamson and operations manager Russell Bowden will lead the team south for the patriotic event.
Windermere skipper Ron Walker will captain the boat on the day itself.
The 15-metre tourist boat, built in 1949, will be hoisted out of the water at Ambleside and driven almost 300 miles by lorry before it is launched on the Thames.
It is a reversal of the ship's initial northern voyage, 60 years ago, when she was transported to Windermere from the Thames-side town of Molsey, where she was built.
It is not the first time the Queen of the Lake has been given a Royal mark of approval. In March 2010 it carried the Prince of Wales when he visited the Lake District.
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

Click Chick: Communist daily takes The Onion for truth
Oops! The Communist Party's People's Daily in China took an article from The Onion to be truth. The Onion is a spoof/satire site, but apparently journalists for the communist party don't know that. The Onion declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un to be the Sexiest Man Alive. So the People's Daily ran a 55 page spread on him, including pictures, that it lifted from The Onion. "With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyongyang-born heart-throb is every woman's dream come true," the People's Daily quoted The Onion the BBC reports. This is what happens when people don't have open access to the Internet. In other news, current sexiest man alive Channing Tatum plans to sue. OK, that's not true. But it would be funny if it was.
Middle Earth Report: On the day of the premiere of the first of the Hobbit movies in Wellington, New Zealand, TV watcher got a weather forecast in Elvish.

More Filth Fallout: Yesterday, we told you about Two and Half Men star Angus T. Jones badmouthing his show calling it filth. Vulture reports He later apologized to his co-workers saying: "Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past 10 years who have become an extension of my family." Now Former show headliner Charlie Sheen, in an exclusive interview with People, says the show is cursed. "With Angus's Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed." And not to be left out, actor Rainn Wilson, a star on The Office has posted his own humorous video spoofing the Angus T. Jones video. Love how many times he repeats what time you can "ignore" his "filthy" show is on NBC.
Stephen Colbert Talks Homeland: I watched Homeland for the first time over the weekend. So, when I saw this on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, I had to share.
