1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of computer systems that utilize a digitizer and stylus. More specifically, the present invention relates to power-on and power-off mechanisms for portable computer systems that utilize a digitizer and an associated stylus or that have a cover.
2. Related Art
As the components required to build a computer system have reduced in size, new categories of computer systems have emerged. One of the new categories of computer systems is the "palmtop" computer system. A palmtop computer system is a computer that is small enough to be held in the hand of a user and can therefore be "palm-sized." Most palmtop computer systems are used to implement various Personal Information Management (PIM) applications such as an address book, a daily organizer and electronic notepads, to name a few. Palmtop computers with PIM software have been know as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
Data entry on a palmtop computer has been a challenge. Since palmtop computer systems are very small, full-sized keyboards are generally not efficient input devices. Palmtop computers using keyboards have keyboard devices that are so small that a user cannot touch-type. Furthermore, to use a keyboard device, a user must either place the palmtop computer system down onto a flat surface, so the user can type with both hands, or the user holds the palmtop computer system with two hands and types with thumbs only.
Instead of a mechanical keyboard device, some palmtop computers utilize a touch screen and display an image of a small keyboard thereon. When a particular button is pressed or tapped, a small keyboard image is displayed on the display screen. The user then interacts with the on-screen small keyboard image to enter characters, usually one character at a time. To interact with the displayed keyboard image (e.g., "virtual keyboard"), the user taps the screen location of a character with a pen or stylus. That corresponding character is then recognized and added to a data entry field, also displayed on the screen. However, for experienced users, the virtual keyboard input system can be a tedious input process.
Instead of using a mechanical keyboard device or a displayed keyboard, many palmtop computers employ a pen and a digitizer pad as an input system. The pen and digitizer pad combination works well for palmtop computers because the arrangement allows a user to hold the palmtop computer system in one hand while writing with the pen onto the digitizer pad with the other hand.
A number of palmtop computer systems that rely on the pen and digitizer pad combination as the primary means of input have been introduced to the market. Most of these pen-based palmtop computer systems provide some type of handwriting recognition system whereby the user can write words and letters on the digitizer pad with a stylus. The palmtop computer system then converts the user's handwriting into a machine readable format such as ASCII code characters. Examples of pen-based palmtop computer systems that provide handwriting recognition include the Apple Newton (trademark) device and the Tandy Zoomer (trademark) device.
Digitizers have eliminated the need for a mechanical keyboard device. Therefore, palmtop computer systems are readily portable and can easily be carried on or near the user, e.g., in a pocket, purse or briefcase. Since they can be carried by a user, the user has many opportunities to use the palmtop computer during the day. Since the palmtop computer is typically battery operated, it is recommended to turn off the computer at the completion of each separate use. As such, each time the palmtop is used, an on/off button is typically pressed to turn on power to the computer system, including the display device. Therefore, each time the palmtop computer is to be used, the on/off button is pressed and after use the on/off button is pressed again to turn off the palmtop computer. The more times the computer is used, the more times the on/off button needs to be pressed to gain access to the palmtop computer. If the palmtop computer is being used merely to access (or amend or transmit) a small bit of information and then turned off, the process of pressing the on/off button twice can be a substantial amount of the user's task just to obtain or amend the desired information thereby rendering tedious the use of the computer.
Users always want easier ways and mechanisms to access information on the palmtop computer. Any improvement that reduces the user's repetitive tasks in obtaining information and making use of a palmtop computer system is open to wide consumer acceptance. Therefore, it would be advantageous to make easier and less tedious the user's tasks in accessing information from a palmtop computer system.
Accordingly, what is needed is an improvement that reduces the number of repetitive tasks required of a user in order to obtain information and make use of a palmtop computer system. What is needed is a method and system that reduces the repetitive tasks required in turning on and turning off the palmtop computer system. The present invention provides these advantages and others not specifically mentioned above but described in the sections to follow.
A method and system are described for automatic power-up and automatic power-down of a computer system based on the position and/or rotation of an associated stylus and/or hinge. In one embodiment, the computer system is a portable computer having a logic board, a display screen, a digitizer and a receiving slot for an associated stylus. The stylus is used with the digitizer in well known character recognition modes. When the stylus is removed from the receiving slot, a switch automatically turns full power onto the computer system thereby allowing a user full use of the computer without requiring an on/off button to be pressed. When the stylus is inserted back into the receiving slot, the switch automatically returns the computer to a power reduction mode where one or all of the components of the computer are powered down. Again, the power reduction mode is entered without requiring the user to press the on/off button. The switch can be made of a single detector or a dual detector combination and can be of a mechanical, electromagnetic, optical, inductive, capacitive or electrical nature. The switch and detector can also be implemented using a microswitch device. By using the position of the stylus to automatically perform power on and off functions, the repetitive tasks required to access information from the palmtop are reduced.
In another embodiment, the stylus-based automatic power-up and power-down features work in concert with other power-up and power-down mechanisms of the computer, such power-on interrupts, the on/off button, and time-out power off modes. In another embodiment, the stylus is a hinge attached to a cover that can be rotated to protect the palmtop computer (like a book cover) or rotated away to use the palmtop computer (like opening a book). When rotated to cover, the switch automatically powers down the computer. When rotated out for computer use, the switch automatically powers up the computer. By using the position of the hinge to automatically perform power up and down functions, the repetitive tasks required to access information from the palmtop are reduced.
More specifically, an embodiment of the present invention includes a computer system comprising: a processor coupled to bus; a memory unit coupled to the bus; a display screen coupled to the bus; a digitizer coupled to the bus; a case for supporting the processor, the memory unit, the display screen and the digitizer, the case having a slot located therein for receiving a stylus; a detector for detecting a stylus within said slot; and a switch coupled to the detector and for generating a signal to power up the processor, the display screen and the digitizer when the stylus is removed from the slot and wherein the switch is also for generating a signal to place the processor, the display screen and the digitizer into a power conservation mode when the stylus is inserted into the slot. Embodiments include a power on and power off method implemented in accordance with the above.
Embodiments also include a computer system comprising: a processor coupled to bus; a memory unit coupled to the bus; a display screen coupled to the bus; a digitizer coupled to the bus; a case for supporting the processor, the memory unit, the display screen and the digitizer, the case having a slot located therein for receiving a hinge attached to a protective cover; a detector for detecting the rotational positions of the hinge within the slot; a switch coupled to said detector and for generating a signal to automatically power up the processor, the display screen and the digitizer when the hinge is rotated such that the cover is not laid over the display screen and wherein the switch is also for generating a signal to automatically place the processor, the display screen and the digitizer into a power conservation mode when the hinge is rotated such that the cover is laid over the display screen.
In the following detailed description of the present invention, a method and system for automatically powering-up and automatically powering-down a computer system based on the position and/or rotation of an associated stylus, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be recognized by one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details or with equivalents thereof. In other instances, well known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present invention.
Some portions of the detailed descriptions which follow are presented in terms of procedures, steps, logic blocks, processing, and other symbolic representations of operations on data bits that can be performed on computer memory. These descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. A procedure, computer executed step, logic block, process, etc., is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps or instructions leading to a desired result. The steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated in a computer system. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.
It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussions, it is appreciated that throughout the present invention, discussions utilizing terms such as "accessing" "processing" or "computing" or "translating" or "calculating" or "determining" or "scrolling" or "displaying" or "recognizing" or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
Importantly, bus 54 is also coupled to a cradle 60 for receiving and initiating communication with a palm top ("palm-sized") portable computer system 100 of the present invention. Cradle 60 provides an electrical and mechanical communication interface between bus 54 (and anything coupled to bus 54) and the computer system 100 for two way communications. Computer system 100 also contains a wireless infrared communication mechanism 64 for sending and receiving information from other devices.
The digitizer 160 records both the (x, y) coordinate value of the current location of the stylus and also simultaneously records the pressure that the stylus exerts on the face of the digitizer pad. The coordinate values (spatial information) and pressure data are then output on separate channels for sampling by the processor 101 (

Signal communication device 108, also coupled to bus 99, can be a serial port for communicating with the cradle 60. Device 108 can also include an infrared communication port.
Each of the devices shown in
It is appreciated that, in one embodiment, the digitizer region 106 a and 106 b is separate from the display screen 105 and therefore does not consume any display area.
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention the electronics of
The stylus receiving slot or rail 350 is a part of the case 235 of the portable computer 100 (
Alternatively, when the stylus 80 of
It is appreciated that detectors 380 a and 380 b can also be implemented using optical detector elements, mechanical detector elements, inductive detector elements, magnetic (e.g., reed relay), capacitive detector elements or electromagnetic detector elements. It is further appreciated that the stylus detectors located with slot 350 can be implemented using the input/output (I/O) rail technology described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/484,086, filed on Jan. 18, 2000, by Neal Osborn, Francis Canova, Jr. and Nicholas Twyman, entitled, "Connector for Handheld Computer," which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention and also hereby incorporated by reference.
At state 640, the computer 100 automatically is placed into the power-up state where nominal power is supplied to (consumed by) the devices of
At state 665 of
In this embodiment, the hinge 80 is not generally removed from the rail 350 very often but it is rather rotated. Therefore, in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention, when the cover 550 is rotated counter-clockwise such that it is laid over screen 105, computer 100 d automatically enters a power-down state. Alternatively, when cover 550 is rotated clockwise such that it does not lay over screen 105, computer 100 d automatically enters a power-up state. It is appreciated that the hinge 80 can be located on the left or right side of computer 100 d or it can be located on the top or bottom edge of computer 100 d.
When hinge 80 is rotated clockwise 445 about ⅓ turn (e.g., the cover is closed and laid over display 105), metal area 440 b contacts metal detector 450 b and metal area 440 a contacts metal detector 450 a. Therefore, there is an electrical connection between detectors 450 a and 450 b. In this configuration, switch 375 then generates a power-down mode signal because the cover is in the closed position, e.g., laid over display 105. In this manner, switch 375 is able to detect the rotational position of hinge 80, and therefore of cover 550.
At state 765, the computer 100 d automatically is placed into the power-up state where nominal power is supplied to (consumed by) the devices of
At state 740 of
The user typically inserts the closes the cover 550 (over display 105) when he/she is done using computer 100 d and the user typically opens the cover 550, exposing display 105, when he/she is ready to use computer 100 d. By using the rotational position of hinge 80 as a tool for automatically powering up and powering down computer 100 d, the user does not have to press any on/off button. This embodiment of the present invention therefore reduces the number of repetitive tasks the user has to perform in order to use computer 100 d.
It is appreciated that in an alternative to the cover hinge embodiment, the hinge is located between two parts of the system 100 where the system 100 actually folds in half. In this case, the cover is actually the other half of the system 100 and not merely a protective layer or surface. In this case, when the device is opened and fully extended, the hinge automatically powers up the system 100.

Las Luces del Mar Christmas event in jeopardy as bills go unpaid
A Christmas celebration held on the Corpus Christi bayfront for the past three years is in financial trouble
CORPUS CHRISTI - A Christmas celebration held on the Corpus Christi bayfront for the past three years is in financial trouble and its future uncertain as, entering this week, it had nearly $10,000 in unpaid bills to service providers who helped put on the festival.
Las Luces del Mar, held the day before the annual Harbor Lights Festival, attracted about 4,500 people Dec. 2 with its light show, Christian musicians, and ceremonial prayer and blessing over the city by local religious leaders, according to the organizer's crowd estimate.
However, eight businesses and individuals who provided services for the festival, such as lighting, tent and chair rentals, stage and audio production and event coordination, said they aren't happy because it took too long to get paid. Six of the service providers said that entering this week, they were owed a combined $9,800 for the 2010 and 2011 events. One is pursuing a claim in court and filed a complaint with the division of the Texas Attorney General's Office that investigates claims of mismanagement of charities.
After the Caller-Times inquired about the unpaid bills Friday, event organizer Sandra Castillo-Swallow said in an email Monday she expected to pay four of the bills by the end of the day.
Las Luces advertised that last year's festival was raising money for the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures, even as service providers from the previous year's festival were trying to collect on overdue bills. The museum never received contributions from Las Luces, a museum official said. Castillo-Swallow said a plan to sell floating lanterns for $10 to raise money for the museum never materialized.
Las Luces began in 2009 and, in 2010, Castillo-Swallow incorporated it as a nonprofit group, according to state records. It is separate from Harbor Lights, which is held in the same location on the same weekend. Castillo-Swallow also has worked as executive director of Harbor Lights.
She attributed Las Luces' problems to a series of setbacks. In 2010, event volunteers and sponsors backed out at the last minute, she said, including a "prominent businessman" in Corpus Christi who had agreed to donate $15,000. She would not name the person.
"They were asking for something that was never part of the sponsorship package," she said. "They wanted more advertising but we couldn't do it. Had this person come through, this wouldn't even be an issue. We'd be whole."
She said it upset her that the service providers, many of whom she considered friends who she worked with previously in event management, weren't working to help the nonprofit.
"I think you work with the nonprofit," she said. "I think you work to be able to fix the problem. I'm just really upset about the whole thing. It's my name out there. I've done a lot for the community."
The businesses that sought to recoup expenses said they tried repeatedly to reach Castillo-Swallow, often to no avail.
Paul Zamarripa of Total Media Solutions in San Antonio provided audio and light production. He said he asked for payment up front, and the first two checks bounced, including a personal check from Castillo-Swallow.
"That's my confusion ... Where is this money coming from?" he said. "Who is responsible for this payment?"
He said he was owed $2,000 as of Friday.
Castillo-Swallow said she supported much of Las Luces out of her own pocket. She agreed to let the newspaper review the nonprofit's financial records but had not provided them by Monday afternoon.
Steve Feeney's company, Highway Barricades and Services, provided traffic control for the 2010 and 2011 Las Luces events. For the 2010 event, he said he didn't receive payment until April 2011, when he threatened to take the issue to the City Council.
Several of the service providers said they worked at a discount because of the public, religious nature of the event. Zamarripa didn't charge the usual per diems for his employees. Stage coordinator Randy Zidek said he charged $300 for a job that normally would have cost $1,000. High-tech lighting expert Jerry Colmenero said he charged $5,000 for a $30,000 job. Feeney cut his original price in half.
"It's here in Corpus and you try to help out when you can," Feeney said. "In doing that for her, we had to dig into our pockets to pay our people."
Tim Lyons of B&T Rents, who supplied tent, chair and table rentals, said he was owed $2,800. He is taking his complaints to the Attorney General's Office and small claims court. He said he doesn't expect to recoup his losses, but hopes his efforts will protect others.
"I don't want to see any other businesses get hurt financially," he said.
Las Luces del Mar also had entertainers. A Tennessee-based management agency for Christian musician Todd Agnew, who appeared in 2010, did not return multiple calls seeking comment about the event. Local Christian band leader James Roots, also in the 2010 lineup, said he didn't want to comment.
Independent video producer David Mendez said he volunteered work for Las Luces in 2010 and 2011 and said the criticisms of the event aren't fair.
"When the going got tough, everybody backed out on Sandra," Mendez said, adding that several businesses pulled sponsorships at the last minute. He would not name them.
"Las Luces del Mar is an event that focuses on the fact that we live in Corpus Christi," Castillo-Swallow said. "Corpus Christi is the body of Christ, and we wanted an event that focuses on Christmas, keeping Christ in Christmas ... Everything about this is good, and it's so tragic that this is happening."
She expressed uncertainty about the future of the event, whether she would manage it, turn it over to someone else, or close the nonprofit, but said Las Luces is working to become solvent.
Colmenero said he still thinks the idea of Las Luces del Mar is great.
"I was behind (Castillo-Swallow's) motive," he said. "But I'm not behind people not being paid for what they do for a living."

Ilford MGIV, to me, is like a staple of photography. Not exotic and therefore sometimes overlooked.
But I think you'd have a hard time finding any paper at any price with more dynamic range nor as consistent of results as MGIV.
Its only drawback is that it doesn't Lith but Ilford Warmtone does.

When I was introduced to AdvoCare Spark on a camping trip, I was truly amazed that I could put anything into my body that would be as effective as a cup of coffee. But Spark, with its vitamins and amino acids gave us a ton of energy and much needed mental focus. After 21 years of carrying around over 100 pounds of excess weight, feeling tired and run down all the time, and hating the body that looked back at me from the mirror every day; I found Advocare. The weight is coming off. I'm in better physical shape. I'm wearing clothes I haven't been able to wear since before my first child was born 21 years ago. I've developed healthy eating and exercise habits. I'm climbing mountains - literally and figuratively - that I haven't been able to climb in a long, long time.
AdvoCare has given me back my health, my hope, my dreams for the future, and the time to spend being a mom to my three great daughters. Without AdvoCare, we would all be struggling. Thanks to AdvoCare, I'm raising three budding little athletes excelling in soccer, basketball, swimming, marching band, color guard, and dance. Thanks to AdvoCare, we truly are building champions - in our family and in our AdvoCare teams!

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links.Like many great companies before it, Blurb was actually started by accident. In the early 2000s, Eileen Gittins, Blurbs' Founder, rekindled a passion for photography while trying to figure out her next career gig. She wanted to compile her photos into a nice coffee table photo book, but she only wanted to print a handful of copies. The conundrum was that every publisher was quoting her hundreds of dollars for each book! She found this curious – and frustrating. So she asked herself, are there other people like me who want to affordably create their own high-quality book from their photos? The answer, of course, was yes, and it changed her life – and book publishing – forever. In 2006, Eileen launched Blurb, a simple book-designing platform and a publishing process that could quickly produce beautifully made books at game-changing price.

For those wanting a large screen for DVD playback that can have an unobtrusive presence while not in use, the Pioneer AVH-P6300BT is a solidly performing option, especially for iPod/iPhone owners.
Starting today, you can get Android Auto in your car with your Android 5.0+ phone and compatible Pioneer head units.
Last year, Pioneer hit the road with Apple CarPlay first. This year, it aims to do the same with Android Auto.
Users interested in adding Apple CarPlay to their car's dashboard have a new choice from Alpine.
Pioneer is the first aftermarket car stereo manufacturer to offer Apple CarPlay software thanks to updated firmware for the Pioneer's NEX multimedia car receivers.
Pioneer's AppRadio 4 smartphone-centric multimedia receiver debuts with new features and, surprisingly, a smaller screen.
A firmware update for Pioneer's NEX series car stereos will add Apple CarPlay compatibility to their already impressive feature set.
If you want a big screen for your car audio system, but you don't have a ton of space for one, you'll probably be interested in taking a look at a motorized AV unit, the Pioneer AVH-P6300BT.
Ironically, it was adding Android support to the AppRadio that helped Pioneer to tame Apple's new Lightning connector.
Motoring music fans are in for a treat -- Pioneer's latest car stereos allow users to view and control apps and video content on the iPod and iPhone.


text: I have the F3 (two of them) and an F5, and I love the F3 if only for the feeling of the frame advance lever. It's so silky smooth. But I am looking at a F2 Titan with the DP-12 prism in new condition. For my money, the F2 could probably go anywhere and work well -- from -30 below zero to outer space. It's built that well. The F3 is great, but more electronics and perhaps a little more fragile long term. The F2 is a tank that could literally work forever.

Penn State Banner Paid For By Group That Also Heckled Tiger Woods
The same group that hired an aerial advertising company to mock Woods at the Masters in 2010 was behind a banner that flew over State College.
A banner that flew over State College threatening "Take the [Joe Paterno] statue down or we will" was paid for by the same mystery group that paid for a banner taunting Tiger Woods in the 2010 Masters, BuzzFeed confirmed.
Ted de Reeder, the owner of National Sky Ads, an aerial advertising firm based in Long Island, New York told BuzzFeed that the latest aerial banner was paid for by "a bunch of do-gooders" who did not necessarily have any ties to Penn State.
"I know they have hired me many times when something wrong has been done," he said.
When asked where they received the money from, he replied "I don't ask them. They've always been honest with me."
He later added, "I do a lot of crazy stuff."
According to records first obtained by the Centre Daily Times, the plane was flown out of Ohio by Air America Aerial Ads, the same company used to fly the banners mocking Woods.
"I believe in freedom of speech," said Air America's owner, Jim Miller.
De Reeder says he hired Miller's firm to do the actual flying of the banner.
Miller's company was suspended by the FAA after the Woods' incident.
The banner's appearance came five days after the Freeh Report, an internal investigation, revealed Paterno knew about allegations against Jerry Sandusky as early as 1998.
The FAA declined to comment.

Attention for ADHD: 9 Key Facts
Brian Maranan Pineda
The 4-year-old who talks incessantly and blurts out answers ahead of his classmates... the racing-on-all-cylinders 5-year-old who leaps before he looks... the overzealous 6-year-old who butts into games and then is surprised when he's rejected... the spacey 8-year-old who can never find her homework folder, shifts from one unfinished task to another, and has trouble following directions. They're all very different children, but they all could have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
"ADHD is the most common and yet one of the most misunderstood of all childhood psychiatric illnesses," says Steven Kurtz, Ph.D., senior director of the ADHD and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Center at New York City's Child Mind Institute. It's also a disorder that never fails to trigger controversy and leave overwhelmed parents feeling guilty about their disruptive, daydreamy, disorganized child. A 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was a reminder of ADHD's prevalence: Roughly 7 percent of 4- to 17-year-olds have the disorder, according to their parents. This represents a 22 percent jump in just four years.
"It's good news that more kids are being identified instead of falling through the cracks," says Dr. Kurtz. "The fact that parents and teachers are aware of the condition means that some of the shame that held parents back from seeking treatment for their children is now lifting."
Late last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics released new guidelines for diagnosing and managing ADHD in children as young as 4 (previous guidelines started at age 6). Meanwhile, in a recent survey Parents conducted with the Child Mind Institute, 63 percent of people believed that too many kids are being diagnosed with ADHD when they really just have behavioral issues. But a youngster with ADHD has problems that show up more often, last longer, and are more intense than the average child's, explains Mark Wolraich, M.D., professor of pediatrics at the University of Oklahoma's College of Medicine, in Norman. "If his behavior is frequently out of control and that's causing him to get into trouble not only at home but also in preschool or day care, then it's important to find out why--and the earlier the better.
"There remains a great deal of confusion and public debate about where to draw the line between typical childhood behaviors and those that signal a clinical condition that should be treated," continues Dr. Wolraich, lead author of the AAP guidelines. We shed light on nine essential facts.The brains of kids with ADHD are different.
ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder with two key components: impulsivity/hyperactivity and inattention/distractibility. Some children are predominantly impulsive and hyperactive; others are mostly easily distracted. Most are a combination.
"These children have a Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes," explains Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., director of the Hallowell Centers for Cognitive and Emotional Health in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and New York City and author of several books on ADHD. "Their mind is racing, but they can't slow down when they need to."
Scans show that when a child has ADHD, the part of her brain that helps control behavior, maintain focus, and prioritize what she needs to do and then do it is slightly smaller. What's more, neurotransmitters--chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that send messages from one part of the brain to another--get used up more quickly. So if a teacher gives a set of five instructions, the child may only be able to get through the first two steps before losing track of what she should do next.
Symptoms range from mild to severe and may be noticeable as early as age 2 or 3. But in most cases, they're not apparent until a child starts school and needs to pay attention and sit quietly. Bright kids who have mild symptoms may squeak by for years until the academic demands for planning, organization, and time management become too overwhelming.We still don't know the exact causes of ADHD.
Studies consistently suggest that ADHD is inherited. But in the last few years, research has also linked ADHD to prenatal exposure to environmental toxins such as bisphenol A and phthalates (key ingredients in a wide range of products from cosmetics to plastic shower curtains), as well as lead (found in old paint) and pesticides (used in homes and schools and on farms). "The science is still very new and the studies, though strong, must be repeated by other researchers," says pediatrician and epidemiologist Philip Landrigan, M.D., director of the Children's Environmental Health Center, in New York City, and a member of the Parents Board of Advisors. "But children are especially sensitive to environmental toxins and we need to pay much more attention to how and when they are exposed."
A theory has persisted that food dyes contribute to ADHD, and some parents insist that once their kids are on a diet that eliminates dyes and preservatives, their ADHD symptoms improve dramatically. But the mainstream medical community is unconvinced. In 2011, after reviewing 50-plus studies linking food additives and ADHD, the FDA's Food Advisory Committee concluded there is not enough solid data to definitively say that artificial food dyes can trigger hyperactivity in kids. Adds Dr. Kurtz, "At this time, we have no reliable evidence showing that avoiding products with sugars, dyes, or additives will lessen problematic symptoms."ADHD often looks different in girls.
Boys are three times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with the condition, and girls are typically diagnosed five years later than boys. The disorganized, quiet girl is often overlooked, even though her ADHD may be just as severe as that of the boy bouncing out of his seat beside her. In elementary school, girls with ADHD tend to be less attentive and have trouble finishing projects, but they're not usually disruptive. By the time they reach middle school, though, their self-esteem takes a big hit.
"Girls aren't 'supposed' to leave their backpack at soccer or have a messy notebook. They're supposed to get along well with others. So when they struggle, they may feel stupid, lazy, and unlovable," says Deborah Pearson, Ph.D., professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at The University of Texas-Houston Medical School.Related Features:

This pretty much sums up how I feel about Watch_Dogs:
Interest over time (no, not that kind of interest...)
I was pumped for it, even just a few weeks ago, but I have decided against buying it to just focus on my backlog of games, especially the Silent Hill series on PS2. If you're in it for the hacking stuff, I would recommend waiting for reviews, just to see how pervasive that stuff is in the game, or if it's just GTA with all the cover based shooting and driving with hacking going on sometimes.
I can't see what the fuss is about this game. It looks nothing more than a futuristic and mildly stupid GTA.
Because every open world game is obviously like GTA. I mean, mechanics, tone, setting, story obviously don't matter at all right? It has cars and a city so GTA!
Its up to the game to sell itself to you. If you're not compelled to go out an buy it, maybe somethings not clicking with the game and your tastes. I've bought so many games I now regret just because of the hype machine, don't add to the unplayed pile if you can avoid it I reckon.
Hang on, let me look into the future...
Nope! Well that's unfortunate.
I'll get it regardless of reviews. I'm sure it's probably on par with GTA mission quality which is fine by me.
From the little I've seen I'm definitely intrigued, hopefully it's a bit different from the traditional Ubsioft "Climb-Towers-to-reveal-missions-and-hidden-objectives/items" and the somewhat new intruduction of "kill-animals-to-Craft-pouches-and-Upgrades". Though killing animals would be a strange thing to do in a city.
I'll be picking it up in hopes that it fills the void that GTA V no longer fills. If it's a world that I can just drive around and do stupid stuff, I'm all for it. As I want an immersive world to explore. I've drove around GTA V's world enough for it to not feel new anymore. I've sailed the seas of black Flag enough to feel like a naval superpower. (granted I found all the chest and stuff but lost interest in the story) I'm ready for a world to explore. Plus knowing Chicago well enough I want to see if some landmarks exist. If I can virtually sit in front of Lavazza Coffee on East Ohio Street and play tetris on my super hacker phone, it'll be worth the price of admission to finally do something I do in real life, in a game.
@fritzdude: lol, bunch of rare animals somehow found their way from zoo. Hunt them and craft new phone and tablet cases...
I've come to the realization that Ubisoft Montreal open world games (and maybe open world games in general?) aren't my thing. I played AC: Brotherhood recently and spent most of my time somewhere between bored and annoyed. I spent three hours with Far Cry 3 before realizing that nothing about it was doing anything for me. I get why people like these kinds of games, but I'm having a pretty hard time imaging Watch Dogs interesting me in a way that Brotherhood and Far Cry 3 (or even Saints Row IV) couldn't.
looks good to me, I'm getting it day one.
I'm still on the fence with this one. Never was super excited about it (not even after the infamous 2012 E3 demo), but it kind of grew on me.
Still, the graphics and gameplay are looking pretty avarage when I see the trailers. I'm also kind of afraid that it will be AC4 all over again, which was a great game the first couple of hours, but got more boring along the way. For me these (Ubisoft) games are plainly lacking challenge. It's just collecting hidden stuff that is not hidden at all and working your way through loads of enemies. It feels as exciting as doing groceries.
I also want to wait for the reviewers, but the Ubitrick is that their games are looking pretty spectaculair the first hour or so, giving the rushing reviewer a false image of the whole game. Most of the time there's less then meets the eye :(
It would have to be pretty spectacular to get me interested. The little I've seen has just looked like...another grey po-faced third person action game and I'm so done with those. Unless it's Dark Souls.

Yeah they do love chucking in heaps of stuff to do in their open world games that really clutters up the map. I've given up trying to finish all of that sort of stuff so whenever I play a Ubi open world game I stick to the main mission and some of the side stuff I enjoy without feeling I need to finish all of it.
Maaaan, I should be excited for this. I'm a total Ubisoft mark at this point, but... I just don't give a damn about anything I've seen from this game. I don't know what it is, but I literally feel nothing for Watch Dogs. The biggest reaction it gets out of me is that every time I hear the name I kind of wish it was a sequel to Sleeping Dogs instead.
No clue. I don't think it'll be a disaster, but I'm waiting to see some more after it's out. Any idea when review embargo is lifted? Does Ubisoft generally allow early coverage?I'll probably pick it up during it's release week. This looks like exactly what I want to play on my PS4. I'm optimistic, but I never dive in blindly to any game.
What a disheartening thread... Way too many people in my opinion that sound completely limp. Opinions, blah blah.
I think there are really two sides to this:
There still isn't much out for the new consoles, especially in terms of AAA third-person action titles (Metal Gear and AC are really about it at this point) so if that is your type of game and you have one of the new boxes its probably going to be worth it just because there isn't much really coming in that genre to the new consoles between now and Batman/AC in the fall. For that reason alone I will probably get it.
If you are asking whether the content of the game itself will be worth it that is a little murkier. The game I saw at E3 two years ago seems a lot different from the one I am looking at right now. As several other people have said already in this thread it seems like what started out as a unique and original concept has looked more and more like the standard third-person open world action game with each new trailer and screenshot. If the game ends up being a GTA V clone with some hacking stuff thrown in then its going to be a huge disappointment.
That is what worries me most. The original way I saw the game was as more of a stealth-type game where you tried to avoid confrontation by hacking things to solve problems and distract/incapacitate enemies. The combat sequences would be triggered when you failed to execute the proper hacks and had to clean up your mess. Now it looks more like the game is a cover based shooter where the hacking stuff allows you to manipulate the environment during firefights or advance the plot when going through missions. I hope I am wrong because I really want this game to be good.
Not presently, no. I'd really need to be convinced that the smartphone makes Watch Dogs a substantially different gameplay experience from, say, GTAV. From all I've seen so far, it doesn't seem like that's the case, but only time will tell, I guess.
WOW shocked at how everyone is about the little bump down in graphics... can you play Ubisoft... I don;t think they were expecting this much attention for one, The largest point is that it is in the middle of a transition of a generation and they need up adding more systems because of the popularity it was getting...
Watchdogs is now being made for every system including calculator watches...
With that... I think it is going to be a fantastic game and shock a lot of people at how good it is. A lot of work went into this game and I am looking forward to playing. Going to get on the PS4 off the PSN. I think it is going to well worth the money I know it is really a gamble cause if it is a crap game i can't even trade it in... That said. Ubisoft for me has been on fire... I have been shocked at how well there games have been and how much fun I have been having with them... AC4 was awesome Child of Light was amazing, even Rayman Legends was Fantastic it was for my son but I was shocked at how good it looked and how much fun it was to play.
So I am looking forward and going on a little bit of faith... that said I think it is going to do very well...
Doubt it. The sick side of me is secretly hoping that it's utter garbage.
It sure sounds like a neat and original setting, sort of, it mostly reminded me of the original idea they had for Splinter Cell: Conviction before they totally overhauled that game.
But how can I expect anything other than the usual Ubisoft cookie-cutter open world boredom?
I've rapidly lost interest as time has passed and it's been revealed to be more and more about shooting dudes and less about the hacking stuff that sold me on it in the first place. I'll probably pick it up when it's around $20 on Steam, but definitely not for full price.
I lost interest and I was like "meeeeeh" after a while, but with the recent 101 trailer they put out I have to say I'm really looking forward to it! I think it looks incredibly fun and cool and I'm fairly sure I'll get it day 1 unless the reviews call the game utter trash. I am, though, very splitted on wether to get PS4 or PC... May end up getting i for both
I'll get it on PS+ in a year and half.
@bluewolverine: That's a lot of vitriol over a game. Enough to hope that people are disappointed. Yeesh.
Not on release, at least. Wolfenstein (and likely Transistor as well) will keep me busy for a good while, I hope. Unless the QL makes it seem super awesome and I just have to buy it.
Once again confused by some people hoping this'll be hot garbage, because...I don't know, even. Guess I missed the memo about games ending up terrible being a really good thing for gamers?
I pre-ordered at the Microsoft Store and got a $15 Live gift card.
If it ends up being absolutely horrible I can always trade it in for at least $20 in the following weeks.
$25 to run around in a new open world on a new console?
Sure, why the hell not?
Expecting it to at least be a little fun.
Hard to say. I was never really blown away by that initial reveal the way everyone else was (a lot of people were acting like it was the most mind-blowing game reveal ever but it's like, a GTA-clone with hacking sooooooo) but it definitely looks fun, if nothing else. The multiplayer looks kind of terrible to me personally, but the single-player looks like it'll be right up my alley.
Definitely waiting on reviews though.
It better be... i just bought the PS4 Watch_Dog bundle, not really because of the game though, just because the PS4 is sold out everywhere where i live, and i'm tired of waiting.
I've been growing really tired of GTA clones lately. I just don't know if the narrative or the hacking will spice up that formula enough to make it an enjoyable experience for me, personally.
I imagine you'll see a 10 hour campaign, 20 additional hours of side stuff to do, and some tacked on multiplayer content; does that sound like a solid value proposition? Probably. I just don't expect Ubisoft to vary up the mission structure enough or line the content with compelling writing (the lead writer certainly doesn't have the greatest pedigree).
You're better served grabbing Transistor and/or The Last of Us, I'd imagine. That said, we're really light on AAA titles until the Fall, so maybe this is the perfect thing to wet your big-budget noodle until then.
Open world sandboxy games are my jam lately, I just recently platinum'd (is that a verb? it should be) Sleeping Dogs so I need more Dogs in my life. It'll also be fun to be in a city that isn't on one of the coasts for once, and one that I've been to multiple times at that. Can't wait for the open-world sandbox Robocop game so other folks will get to see how fun it is here in Detroit. My god, that actually sounds like fun- someone get Lang on the phone! I'm having visions of a map with little drug icons to bust up some drug deals, and little exploding penis icons for busting up attempted rapes.
Gamefly... glad I got it.

Loose battery cable.......
Now that I have some miles on my new to me 950 ADV, I'm starting to get picky on ride quality. Yesterday I sync'ed the carbs (almost 2 inches off). New chain and sprockets.
The engine is much smoother at cruise speeds, but still doesn't like to cruise below 3500 rpm. It would also "buck" (misfire) on long uphills if I let it lug below 4000 rpm with heavy throttle.
Yesterday on my way to the Southwick MX National the speedo turned into a random number generator. I think I saw 135 mph in first gear. At a stop light the neutral light was pulsing. As I pulled away the engine just shut off. I'm thinking the stator had crapped out and let the battery run dead. I pushed the bike over to a nearby CVS parking lot. The starter wouldn't turn the engine over, but I noticed the headlight was still bright and white. I pulled the skid plate off and gave the battery cables a tug. They seemed fine, but I put the screw driver to them. The negative was tight, but I did get a little less than a quarter turn on the positive. I turned the key and it fired right up, with a bright steady neutral light.
It lugs a lot better now with out bucking. It feels a lot better over all. My random stalling issue at idle seems to be gone also, but that may be the carb sync. There doesn't seem to be any corrosion on the cables or terminals.The battery is new this year.

Did you know that there's a condition called "hypoactive sexual desire disorder," from which many women suffer? Well, there is, or at least a bunch of scientists have decided there is, and sadly, about 10 percent of premenopausal women grapple with it. Luckily, if unsurprisingly, there might be a pill in the works for just this issue.
An Ohio woman in search of Plan B emergency contraception learns from an ER nurse that she's basically out of luck because she wasn't raped, and isn't married.
From piperreport.com
This is a home run for women's reproductive rights. However, over-the-counter sales are available only to women 18 and older. And that restriction isn't based on science. It's based on the paranoid and unfounded fear that the drug would encourage promiscuity among teens.
The government agency will weigh whether to let the drug (Plan B) be sold over the counter—a move that conservative forces, inside the government and out, have long objected to as part of their proxy battle on abortion.
This may be happening only because two senators have been blocking the appointment of the FDA's new head until the agency makes a decision on the drug.
High school and college students are popping more speedy prescription pills than ever in an attempt to help them study.

On May 9, 1960, the FDA approved Enovid, the first birth control pill, for clinical use. Many court cases, a sexual revolution and a fundamentalist backlash later, use of and access to contraceptives is still very much a hot-button issue in the U.S. Read a roundup of information and opinion relating to the release of an explosive report last week connecting a spike in unwanted pregnancies among the poor to decreased contraceptive use.

According to a new study, the pill continues to put some women out of the mood even months after they stop taking it. | story
