How often does one hear that transit is somehow a less respectable form of transportation than driving because of the "massive subsidies" transit receives? Well, a new study by Texas DOT says that highways don't pay for themselves either.
A new study completed by the Texas Department of Transportation shows that no highway in Texas has paid for itself in terms of the increased funds the state receives through tolls or gas taxes. In some cases, a road without tolls would need a gas tax of over $2 to "pay for itself."
This study provides support for transportation reform advocates nationwide whether they be pushing congestion pricing locally or AMTRAK nationally. If no transportation project, be it highway, transit or something else, can be said to "pay for itself;" then the arguments of car culture advocates and libertarians who argue against alternative transportation on the basis that it is only viable because of a government subsidy loses what little credibility it has left.

What s Different in the Revised
Language Definition?
Declaring Properties
In the original language design, each set or get property accessor is
specified as an independent member function. The declaration of each method is prefixed
with the __property keyword.
The method name begins with either set_ or get_ followed
by the actual name of the property (as visible to the user). Thus, a Vector providing
an x coordinate get property would name
it get_x and
the user would invoke it as x.
This naming convention and separate specification of methods actually reflects the
underlying runtime implementation of the property. For example, here is a Vector with
a set of coordinate properties:
public __gc __sealed class Vector
__property double get_x(){ return m_x;
__property double get_y(){ return m_y;
__property double get_z(){ return m_z;
__property void set_x( double newx ){ m_x = newx;
__property void set_y( double newy ){ m_y = newy;
__property void set_z( double newz ){ m_z = newz;
This was found to be confusing because it spreads
out the functionality associated with a property and requires the user to lexically
unify the associated sets and gets. Moreover, it is lexically verbose as well and
feels inelegant. In the revised language design, which is more like that of C#, the property keyword
(without the underscores) is followed by the type of the property and its unadorned
name. The set and get access
methods are placed within curly braces following the property name. Note that unlike
C#, the signature of the access method is specified. For example, here Vector properties
translated into the new language design well, no reason to duplicate all three coordinates.
public ref class Vector
property double x
double get()
return m_x;
void set( double newx )
m_x = newx;
// Note: no semi-colon &
If the access methods of the property reflect distinct
access levels for example, a public get and
a private or protected set accessor --
an explicit access label can be specified. By default, the access level of the property
reflects that of the enclosing access section. For example, in the above definition
of Vector, both the get and set methods
are public. To make the set method private,
the definition could be revised as follows:
} //
note: extent of private culminates here &
note: dot is a public method of Vector &
double dot( const Vector^ wv );
The extent of an access keyword within a property
extends until either the closing brace of the property or the specification of an
additional access keyword. It does not extend beyond the definition of the property
to the enclosing access level within which the property is defined. In the above declaration,
for example, Vector::dot() is
a public member function.
Writing the set/get properties for the three Vector
coordinates is a bit tedious given the canned nature of the implementation: (a) declare
a private state member of the appropriate type, (b) return it when the user wishes
to get its value, and (c) set it to whatever new value the user wishes to assign.
In the revised language design, a shorthand property syntax is available which automates
this usage pattern:
equivalent shorthand property syntax
property double x;
property double y;
property double z;
The interesting side-effect of the shorthand property
syntax is that while the backstage state member is automagically generated by the
compiler, it is not accessible within the class except through the set/get accessors.
Talk about the strict enforcement of data hiding!

Feminism, graphic novel style
Posted by Bubbas' Nightmare on 16 May 2007
(or comics, if you prefer)
I ran across one of Alan Moore's creations at Big Brain Comics in Minneapolis a few months ago, but I didn't get a chance to thoroughly read what I bought until a week or two ago.
Promethea is an interesting experiment in metafiction (a story about stories). She is a creature of imagination that has power within the "real" universe. Promethea's presence is invoked by someone's imagination, and her Avatar and Power is different, depending upon the nature of the person who invokes her. She is one of the Great Stories (one of my favorite themes in fiction).
Unlike most comics, this series uses endless cultural references (spoken and illustrated), intelligent if somewhat convoluted storylines, and employs strong women throughout the story. (Indeed, there are elements of Patriarchal qualities throughout the bad guys, who are almost all men.) However, it doesn't dip into that "women=creation, men=destruction" crapola that so many comparative culturalists love to harp on. (Another story for another time.)
Best of all, Promethea is light on the Bimbo Effect, which is always a danger in graphic novels these days. Yes, there is flesh (particularly in one of Promethea's Avatars), but sexuality is kept pretty strictly within the confines of moving the story.
A dialog between Promethea and Jack Faust, who has offered to teach her about Magick in exchange for sex:
Faust (describing Promethea's body): God considered as Female, the most exalted feminine principle. This sacred receptacle is its sign. The vessel between women's thighs is the Cup's highest aspect. The Chalice. The Grail of divine compassion. It takes in. It receives. The Holy Grail is female. Remember that. It's the essence of Female…That sacred cup brimming with the wine of stars. With the deep-pressed vintage of the soul.
Promethea: And this is all those manly heroes sought? One sip from compassion's bowl to ease their dry, parched souls? They sought the Female?
Faust: Yes. They wanted to drink of the Female. To drown in it. Perhaps they even wanted to become it. All warriors. All magicians. All men.
Promethea: Ah. Then be quenched, man. Take your draught, and next we'll see what mysteries man conceals beneath his coverings.
(And this is years before The Da Vinci Code!)
Rereading that section tonight has gotten me to thinking about how many feminists claim that men, as a class of people, hate women. I'm just riffing here, but I wonder if the root issue with men may be jealousy turned to hate.
Just a thought.

Interesting thought for late night thinking. Most men of my acquaintance don't hate women. They, unfortunately, don't bother to take the time to give women any thought at all. Unless of course you count cooking, cleaning and some occasional momentary sexual gratification. But I do like the concept of woman as godhead. It makes "the women" feel some importance in several cultural evolutions. It would be pleasant to think that there might be men out there who search so desparately for the divine that they give their lives trying to find what is clearly in front of them for their enjoyment.
16 May 2007 at 11:05 pm
I'm smiling. The comments weren't meant to be kind to men or feminists. The fems are taking things too personally, in my humble opinion. The men…. well, they can't help themselves for the most part. They just don't think. Period. Maybe the jealousy is there though. Being female gives you the ultimate ability to create in a sense. But then on the flip side, you could say the same for men. No need for jealousy or hate there. I must cogitate on this a bit longer.
17 May 2007 at 5:50 am
Men are jealous of women? We probably ought to be. Women are so much more important than men, more evolved et cetera. I can see how stone age man would start a trend of opression out of a feeling of inadequacy.
But I wouldn't call Jack Faust's magical teachings overly feministic. Magic is just about naming things; he makes these things he talk about special, gives them extraordinary significance by talking of them in extraordinary terms, and he talks as much and as gloriously about the male as he does about the female.

To joewight are you bloody nuts
Nice details Joe, this looks great and I really like the way you rendered the cloth. Love the MG42 link over his shoulders.
Nice piece of work. It somewhat reminds me of an old Peter Cushing film from the 70's called Shock Waves, which was also about Nazi zombies, though that one wasn't quite as bloody from what I recall.
Refreshing. And I say that because your deviation has nothing to do with anime.
I could never picture the Nazis experimenting a new Zombie weapon on their own people... But nobody wants to spend a game or movie shooting American soldier zombies.

report: using PUP_UNPACKER for 4.0 OFW, and "lv0assault" on lv0 file, "not found"
It's pretty impossible to find 3.6+ keys with this tool, forget-it !
Even if we ALL had 1 million computers dedicated to this and we ran it nonstop. Considering that its 32 bites, it would quite literally take 7 hundred million lifetimes to brute force. You can rule out the 000000000000000's and the 1111111111111111's but every combination following would take such a substantial amount of time.
And then even if we lived that long, our keys are perconsole. The algorithm that the games are signed with figures out our individual key using 2 keys that sony put in there. Even if this program used the algorithm it doesn't matter, because it needs 2 pieces of information it doesn't have. So it just starts guessing, from beginning to end.
I told you 75 billion times not to exaggerate.
I understand your point, but the author knows this, that's why he says it's better to have something to do than magically waiting for cfw to be brought on a velvet pillow. Mathematically it can be calculated, and you may get lucky at some point and find it early (which is part of the point). But yes, realistically it would take entirely too long to do this.
Not sure about Sony's massive 32 byte keys, though. Holy cow! Maybe we should build a bank of PS3s with OtherOS and use the cell to break it.
SLI-GPUs could calculate this in minutes...
It would be easier if sony simply gave the code lol
Desperate measures for desperate peoples... Waste of time guys, really.
This is pathetic.
It's a reference to an "old-school" joke from the times of original PSJailbreak/PSGroove
"There used to play GT5 and to play for PSN."

Best Key Lime Pie (2007)
Le Tub
In South Florida, few things are taken seriously. Even most hurricane rations are turned into sensible dinners after enough uneventful months slip by. But true Sunshine Staters will go toe-to-toe with any Yankee scoundrel who's trying to pass off store-bought key lime pie as homemade. In fact, they freak the hell out. And after being scorned enough times in the past, key lime gourmands know the warning signs: perfectly triangular solid wedges of (shudder)... gelatinous green stuff. That's just another reason why locals brave the Darwinian seating order at Le Tub: Its key lime pie is the delectably whipped yardstick that all others must measure up to. The globby hunk of goo expands as it sits in its Styrofoam dish, while its condensed milk glue keeps the surface tension cohesive, making every spoonful a creamy victory. The heavy slab of pie is about the size of a wedge of brie and twice as rich, and the staff is never timid about slathering it with Reddi-Wip. Have it served alongside a margarita on the rocks and you'll understand why you waited so long for a table after all, everyone around you is experiencing the same thing: a short-term love affair with a piece of pie. Savor it.

Bulls: Ending Heat's streak less important than getting a win
The formula for beating the Heat is no mystery, at least not for the Bulls.
Tom Thibodeau's five principles -- rebounding, defense, inside-out offense, low turnovers and unselfish play -- obviously come into play, but so do some of his other tenets, such as floor balance, so as not to allow Miami's prolific transition game to get rolling, and being ready to play at the start of the game.
"When you're playing them, you've got to play for 48 minutes obviously," Thibodeau said after his team's spirited practice Tuesday afternoon at the Berto Center, after which reporters were treated to a rotating one-on-one duel that included Derrick Rose. "You've got to protect the ball, you've got to be strong, you've got to defend and rebound. We've got to put a lot into it."
Sounds simple, but when dealing with a juggernaut, execution can be a challenge.
While the Bulls exploited the Heat's small-ball approach in an inspired early-January win in Miami, the tables were turned in last month's rematch at the United Center, in which the visitors cruised to an easy victory.
[MORE: Bulls approach Heat matchup as if it's a normal game]
Now, with the defending champions, winners of 27 consecutive games, rolling with no signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future, despite the close-knit nature of matchups between the two teams over the past few seasons, the odds of the Bulls putting the potentially-historic streak to a halt have decreased, particularly with the tenuous status of injured starters Marco Belinelli and Joakim Noah, suffering from an abdominal strain and plantar fasciitis, respectively.
"They've won 27 in a row. They're not that vulnerable. They're beating everybody right now. We've just got to come out with a great effort, play as hard as we can and let the chips fall where they may," Kirk Hinrich said, stating the obvious. "It's an impressive streak. Obviously they're playing at a very high level every night. That's not an easy thing to do in this league."
Veteran center Nazr Mohammed, himself an owner of an NBA championship ring, added further perspective to the Heat's current run.
"Sometimes after championships, there's a little bit of a letdown, there's a little bit of fatigue that sets in. I experienced it after we won in '05 [Mohammed was on the San Antonio team that won the 2005 NBA championship] and the season comes back around so quickly. But it's impressive what they're doing. They came right out of the gate ready to go and they're rolling right now," he said. "That's extremely impressive. The league is a grind, as everyone knows, so many games, back-to-back, injuries. To put together a streak when you win 27 consecutive games, in this league, to keep that level of focus, for that amount of time, is great.
It's all about one game at a time," he added. "[Wednesday is] a totally new day and I know that once you start thinking about streaks, and you start thinking about the pot of gold at the end, you skip steps, so I hope they're thinking about [tying the Lakers' record 33-game winning streak] or whatever and we're one of the steps they're going to skip."
[RELATED: Derrick Rose shows off the latest steps in comeback trail]
But Miami's level of focus during the streak has been remarkable, particularly as the Lakers' 1971-72 season mark is approached. Through injuries to key players like All-Star Dwyane Wade -- the Chicago native sat out Monday's win in Orlando with a knee injury, but is expected to suit up Wednesday in his hometown -- the Heat continue to endure, partially due to depth added in the offseason.
"They're having an unbelievable season. It says a lot about their character, to be the defending champion and come back like this, and everyone's chasing them," Thibodeau said. "They have a lot of guys who can shoot the three. Ray Allen was a great pickup for them; Mike Miller and Rashard Lewis also playing. They're playing very well in every aspect of the game. Their offense is terrific, they've always been an excellent defensive team. They play hard and they play together, so you have to play 48 minutes against them."
But while adding the likes of Allen, Lewis and key midseason addition Chris Andersen, an athletic, shot-blocking center who can run the floor and finish above the rim, have helped and the contributions of All-Star Chris Bosh, who has thrived as an undersized center, as well as role players like savvy forward Shane Battier, underrated point guard Mario Chalmers, rugged power forward Udonis Haslem and speedy reserve point guard Norris Cole, reigning league MVP LeBron James has clearly been the most integral piece.
Ever since the end of last season's Eastern Conference Finals, en route to winning the title, James has taken his already-rarefied game to another level, eliminating any debate as to who's the game's top player.
From the obvious -- improved three-point marksmanship, the willingness to play in the post, gaudy shooting percentages and embracing taking shots in the clutch -- to his more subtle brilliance, James has ascended to the top of the NBA throne, legitimizing his "King" nickname and forcing even rivals to acknowledge his status, albeit grudgingly.
"He's having a great year. He's a great player. It seems like he's improved every year he's been in the league and for him, that's really saying something," Hinrich said. "You respect all your opponents. Absolutely. I think he plays the game the right way, plays hard. No question."
[MORE: Bulls health an ongoing issue]
Mohammed expressed a similar sentiment: "You have to give him his due. He's one of the best players in this league, if not the best...6-8, strong, athletic, he's knocking down shots, can pass the ball, handle the rock."
Thibodeau, a devout student of the game, praised James' playmaking ability, even in light of the "hard-fought games" the Bulls have waged against Miami during his tenure.
"I felt he was unfairly criticized early in his career because he's so unique. He's trusted the pass his whole life. If you put two on him, he'll make the right play. He's going to hit the open man. If his teammate makes the shot, everyone says how unselfish he is. If his teammate missed the shot, they'll say he didn't want to take it," the coach said. "I think he proved all the critics wrong. He's shown each year he's gotten better and better, so that's a credit to him."
That doesn't mean Thibodeau views Wednesday evening's showdown in the same fashion as other observers, specifically the media.
Sure, he's concerned about the Heat, but only in the sense that the Bulls, who are jockeying for playoff position and striving for a measure of consistency amid their health issues in the process, would like to extend their own current winning streak to three straight contests, something more important to them than standing in the way of history.
"I think you guys get caught up in that more than we do. For us, it's about improvement, playing our best going down the stretch and hopefully be as healthy as possible, and the important thing is to not get caught up in all the hoopla and to understand what goes into winning, and to stay focused on those things. A big part of that is knowing your opponent, coming out and concentrating, playing hard with an edge for 48 minutes," he explained.
"They all count the same. You get up for one game, you don't get up for another; everyone's capable of beating you. They have everyone's attention obviously, but it's not only the streak. They're the defending champions; everyone's chasing them. We know how good they are. We know how well we're going to have to play."

Of course, this isn't your traditional MMO, so it's difficult to write a traditional review, especially considering I was able to play only a single match (which I won by a landslide, thank you very much), so instead I'm just going to give y'all a rundown of how the game plays and let you draw your own conclusions. Shuffle your cards, cut your decks, and read on for the skinny on Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.
Of course, this isn't your traditional MMO, so it's difficult to write a traditional review, especially considering I was able to play only a single match (which I won by a landslide, thank you very much), so instead I'm just going to give y'all a rundown of how the game plays and let you draw your own conclusions. Shuffle your cards, cut your decks, and read on for the skinny on Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.
When the game began, I was able to choose from nine possible decks, each one centered around a different major Warcraft character representing a given class. Malfurion Stormrage filled the slot for the Druid class, for instance, but since I'm all about the sneaky and stabby, I chose the Blood Elf Rogue, Valeera Sanguinar.
When the game begins, a virtual coin is tossed to determine who goes first, and each player draws three cards. Both players are given the chance to discard any number of those cards in order to draw the same number of new cards from their decks, but they must keep their second draw. The player who goes second draws an extra card as compensation for being at the turn disadvantage.
Now, here's where things get a bit weird (if you have a Magic: The Gathering pedigree, anyway): On each player's first turn, he will have a single mana point that can be spent to play cards from his hand, with the mana granted increasing by one on each successive turn. That is to say, players have one mana point on turn one, two points on turn two, and so forth. There's no way for either player to have a mana advantage on the other, even if you choose not to spend mana from a previous turn. You will always have an amount of mana equal to the current turn number -- no more, no less.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, to be honest. On the one hand, it prevents the epidemic known as getting mana-screwed, which is exactly what it sounds like. Anyone who has ever played MTG and ended up with only two lands on turn 10 knows that it's not a fun experience, and I can't say that I'll miss it. On the other hand, it takes a bit of the complexity out of deckbuilding as you're no longer required to strike a balance between mana/resources and creatures/spells/etc., and instead players only need to worry about ensuring that their decks adhere to a reasonable mana curve. It should certainly help to make the game more accessible to new players (which, to be fair, is something that many CCGs desperately need), but I worry about how much impact it will have on deckbuilding strategies.
At any rate, gameplay from that point progresses about how you'd expect. Players take turns playing cards from their hands, with the cards representing iconic creatures and abilities from the Warcraft universe. My deck included the bread-and-butter Rogue ability Sinister Strike, some Deadly Poison, some Stranglethorn Raptors, and so forth.
The objective of the game, of course, is to reduce the enemy hero's HP to zero while defending your hero from attacks, making it very important to make the most of your spells and minion special abilities. Some of said abilities include Taunt, which forces enemy minions to attack the minion with the Taunt ability, and Charge, which allows a minion to attack on the same turn that it's played, which can be incredibly useful for launching unexpected assaults on a defenseless opponent.
One last thing I wanna mention is kind of silly, but it made me smile. Since my character was a Horde character, the game's play area was Horde-themed, with an Orcish hut in one corner, a catapult in another, and so forth. To my surprise, these turned out to be interactable objects, and I could actually drag a rock into the catapult and then fling it at my opponent, or I could poke the Orcish hut and cause it to belch fire from its chimney stack. I don't know whether my opponent could see it, and it had no effect on the game at all, but it was silly and fun. I appreciate things that are silly and fun.
And that, ladies and gents, is Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft in a nutshell. The whole match lasted something like 10 or 15 minutes, so it seems as if it'll be a perfect game to squeeze in on your lunch break or to kill some time in the airport (did I mention that there's an iPad version?) while you're waiting on your flight, but considering how much Blizzard has simplified the CCG format in Hearthstone, I'm hesitant to remark on how much depth the game will have. Let's also not forget that you can buy packs of cards with real money, so take that as you will.
Overall, I found Hearthstone to be pleasant enough, and since it's free-to-play, I can't imagine I won't at least dabble in it, but there was certainly nothing on display that really blew me away. It is, as best as I can tell, a casual CCG tailored to fans of the Warcraft universe. If that sounds like something that would interest you, then head on over to the game's official site and sign up for the beta. And if it doesn't? Well, there's always Magic Online.

PERB Arbitrator Adam Kaufman found in his decision, rendered Feb. 25, the town had not sufficiently proven Hughes had used sick time to "game the system."
"the Town offered no evidence on the record, other than supposition based on Officer Hughes' interaction with Lieutenant Heffernan, to support its contention that the use of sick leave was a device and canard to avoid reporting for duty," Kaufman wrote.
The interaction with Heffernan was found to not be insubordinate because Hughes did not disobey an order.
"there is no questionOfficer Hughes acted in a contemptuous, impertinent and insolent manner during his interchange with Lieutenant Heffernan on April 2. The conduct was inappropriate and objectionable There has been no showing that an order was given to Officer Hughes and that his conduct was in defiance of contravention of such an order," the decision read in part.
Supervisor Sam Messina declined comment, citing the case as a personnel matter, except to say the following:
"The Police Department believed it was in a strong position to pursue disciplinary action and is disappointed in the outcome. It is recognized that there is no appeal process from a hearing officer's decision."
Hughes had been on medical leave from the department and, this past December, was placed on 207-c leave, a state law provision that allows paid leave for police officers and firefighters who have been found to have on the job related disability or disease.
Hughes said he saw a doctor of the town's choosing, who made the recommendation, but he declined to go into the details of the recommendation.
"He made a recommendation that I could never return to duty [in any department]," Hughes said.
Hughes will receive full pay while under 207-c, possibly until he reaches retirement age. His annual salary is $65,206.
Messina said town officials couldn't discuss the matter.
"Mr. Hughes is on leave under general municipal law section 207-c, and I am not permitted to discuss the nature of this leave because of health and personal privacy issues," he said.
Arbitration is continuing on the town's taking of Hughes' badge and gun. A decision will likely be several months in coming.

Article: Diagnostic value of 14-3-3beta immunoblot and T-tau/P-tau ratio in clinically suspected Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fatal prion disease characterized by rapid neurodegeneration. The clinical diagnosis is difficult and reliable diagnostic markers are highly desired. Here, we assess the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests for 14-3-3 protein and total tau (T-tau)/phospho-tau (P-tau) ratio among 36 patients with clinically suspected CJD. Nine of the 36 patients had CJD. These cases were all autopsy-proven. The 14-3-3 test was positive in 4 of the 9 CJD cases and falsely positive in 7 of the 27 patients with other diagnoses. The resulting figures for sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 44%, 74%, 36% and 80%, respectively. The best result for distinguishing CJD from other diagnoses was obtained using a combined test for T-tau and T-tau/P-tau ratio and cut-off values of >1,400 pg/ml and >25, respectively. The resulting figures for sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 78%, 93%, 78% and 93%, respectively. The achieved accuracy (89%) was significantly higher than that for the 14-3-3 test (67%; P=0.023). The high predictive values achieved by the combined tau test suggest that it could be used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods for accurate intra vitam diagnosis of CJD.

ABSTRACT: We have recently reported that a polymorphism in the cell division cycle (CDC2) gene, designated Ex6 + 7I/D, is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The CDC2 gene is located on chromosome 10q21.1 close to the marker D10S1225 linked to AD. Active cdc2 accumulates in neurons containing neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), a process that can precede the formation of NFT. Therefore, CDC2 is a promising candidate susceptibility gene for AD. We investigated the possible effects of the CDC2 polymorphism on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in AD patients. CDC2 genotypes were evaluated in relation to CSF protein levels of total tau, phospho-tau and beta-amyloid(1-42) in AD patients and control individuals, and in relation to the amount of senile plaques and NFT in the frontal cortex and in the hippocampus in patients with autopsy-proven AD and controls. The CDC2 Ex6 + 7I allele was associated with a gene dose-dependent increase of CSF total tau levels (F(2, 626) = 7.0, p = 0.001) and the homozygous CDC2 Ex6 + 7II genotype was significantly more frequent among AD patients compared to controls (p = 0.006, OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.13-2.17). Our results provide further evidence for an involvement of cdc2 in the pathogenesis of AD.
Article: TAU Haplotype and the Saitohin Q7R Gene Polymorphism Do Not Influence CSF Tau in Alzheimer's Disease and Are Not Associated with Frontotemporal Dementia or Parkinson's Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent studies have described Saitohin(STH), a gene located in the human TAU gene. The corresponding protein shows a similar tissue expression to tau, which is involved in many neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). A single nucleotide polymorphism in the STH gene has been suggested to be involved in sporadic AD and is in complete linkage disequilibrium with the TAU haplotype H1. A case-control study was performed to further explore the possible involvement of the STH Q7R polymorphism and the extended TAU haplotype in AD, FTD or PD. Patients with AD (n = 398), FTD (n = 96) and PD (n = 105), and controls (n = 186) were genotyped for the STH polymorphism and/or the TAU haplotype. Genotype data were related to levels of total-tau, phospho-tau and Abeta(1-42) in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) in more than 300 AD patients and to an amount of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the frontal cortex and hippocampus in patients with autopsy-confirmed AD. The STH Q7R polymorphism and the TAU haplotype were in complete linkage disequilibrium in all patients (AD and FTD) and controls investigated for both genes. There were no significant differences in genotype or allele distributions in AD, FTD or PD cases compared to controls. Neither TAU haplotype nor STH influenced CSF levels of total-tau, phospho-tau and Abeta(1-42) significantly. In AD patients with neuropathological scores of plaque and tangles, no associations with TAU haplotype and STH were found. We found no evidence that could support a major pathogenic role of STH and TAU haplotype in AD, FTD or PD.
Article: P4-109 Variants of CYP46A1 interact with age and APOE to influence CSF Aβ42 and phospho-TAU levels in Alzheimer's disease
Article: Variants of CYP46A1 may interact with age and APOE to influence CSF A�42 levels in Alzheimer?s disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent studies have suggested that variants of CYP46A1, encoding cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46), confer risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prospect substantiated by evidence of genetic association from several quantitative traits related to AD pathology, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the 42 amino-acid cleavage product of beta-amyloid (Abeta42) and the tau protein. In the present study, these claims have been explored by the genotyping of previously associated markers in CYP46A1 in three independent northern European case-control series encompassing 1323 individuals and including approximately 400 patients with measurements of CSF Abeta42 and phospho-tau protein levels. Tests of association in case-control models revealed limited evidence that CYP46A1 variants contributed to AD risk across these samples. However, models testing for potential effects upon CSF measures suggested a possible interaction of an intronic marker (rs754203) with age and APOE genotype. In stratified analyses, significant effects were evident that were restricted to elderly APOE epsilon4 carriers for both CSF Abeta42 ( P=0.0009) and phospho-tau ( P=0.046). Computational analyses indicate that the rs754203 marker probably does not impact the binding of regulatory factors, suggesting that other polymorphic sites underlie the observed associations. Our results provide an important independent replication of previous findings, supporting the existence of CYP46A1 sequence variants that contribute to variability in beta-amyloid metabolism.
Article: Increased frequency of a new polymorphism in the cell division cycle 2 (CDC2) gene in patients with Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent studies show linkage between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and two loci on chromosome 10. The cell division cycle 2 (cdc2) gene is located close to one of the chromosome 10 markers, and is a candidate gene for AD since it is involved in the pathogenesis of AD. We sequenced coding exons and flanking intronic sequences and the promoter region on the cdc2 gene and found three new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We analyzed 272 Caucasian AD cases, 160 controls and 70 cases with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) for these SNPs. Homozygosity for one of the SNPs (Ex6+7I/D) was more frequent in both AD and FTD cases than in controls. In the combined tauopathy (AD and FTD) group the odds ratio (OR) was 1.77 (95% CI 1.19-2.63) for the Ex6+7II genotype. Our findings suggest that the Ex6+7I allele is associated with tauopathies, both AD and FTD.

I sat down at a Windows machine just now, and I see what the problem is:
Apparently it doesn't work to set the classpath as 'lib/*' in Windows.
Oddly, it does seem to work if I set the classpath to lib/Vengine.jar;lib/*.
I don't get it---maybe you can shed some light on this?
That change is all I needed to get this build to start---but you're going
to encounter an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException right away anyhow if the
'new user' screen comes up for you. I hadn't seen this before, as it's
never shown on my system.
I'm writing this as I go---I've fixed the Exception---it was happening
because I missed merging 2569:2570 from trunk.
Here's a newer build, which should fix both problems:

Betrayed!by Patricia Calvert
When best friends Tyler Bohannon and Isaac Peerce decide to head West in search of adventure, fortune, and new beginnings, they leave everything they know and love behind in order to make a fresh start and forget the pain of their past. Now that Tyler's father is dead and his mother has remarried, he longs for a home of his own, especially one that doesn't include his new stepfather. Isaac, a freed slave, is looking for a place where he won't be judged by his race. The boys get more adventure than they bargained for as they are misled by seemingly trustworthy individuals into one dangerous situation after another. And as the boys struggle to survive on the frontier, their friendship is tested...just when they need each other the most. Patricia Calvert has crafted a rousing novel that explores issues of race and identity, loyalty and friendship in the rugged, unforgiving world of the American West in Betrayed!, the final novel of the acclaimed trilogy that began with Bigger and Sooner.
Biggerby Patricia Calvert
When his father disappears near the Mexican border at the end of the Civil War, twelve-year-old Tyler decides to go after him and bring him home, acquiring on the journey a strange dog, which he names Bigger.
Soonerby Patricia Calvert
In her best-selling novel Bigger, Patricia Calvert followed young Tyler Bohanon on his moving and courageous trek to Texas in search of a father who never returned from the Civil War. Now, in this powerful sequel, we see Tyler and his new pup, Sooner, at home. Barely an adult himself, Tyler is forced to take on the duties of the man of the house. And in the postwar era, even the basic needs of farm life are in short supply. He and his family struggle to maintain their balance, building a new life without Papa, who, they learn from a surprise visitor, has died and will never return.

wooo :D
Programmer, artist and CEO of Evil Turtle Productions! I also make music and play in two bands: Prickrott and Chematic.
wooo :D
that ALWAYS happens at the worst times.. even worse: i was making a backup a while ago and my pc crashed at the moment the backup started...
my HD was broken and i had to buy a new one. and all was lost...
patience ;) still working hard on the mod, im hoping to release it around april 1th... 'cuz that date is coolbeans *nods*
Funny thing is: i have just resolved this problem 30 minutes ago XD
thanks for the tip nonetheless! i'm sure i'll run into more problems :P
woo! thank you <3
updated it a bit, see pic's ;)
not to mention the nice ship-falling-into-pieces + exlosiongasm death sequences.
I'm working hard on a nice soundtrack too, i hope it'll be worthy 83
Also, i have a question about your shaders:
When i use them in HW2, even with everything else vanilla, the singleplayer campaign doest work properly. After the intro cinematic the mission starts... and nothing happens the ships just sit there and there is no UI or anything.
In the case of my mod (draconian empire, have a look ;) ) the mission ends right away!
Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.
you sir.. are the master of shader-le-gaspness :3
ahahha u jelly? x3
nah, that's not the source code, also, i'm not planning to actually hack HW2 (not that i can anyways) dont want trouble with Sierra haha o.o
yeah i agree too, however, most mods are multiplayer oriented and thus i already have found some things for the build-menu problem.
The cinematics however is hard to find, but i'll ask around :3
lol, i had decompiled one of the dll's and the only thing it said whas: "there is always a way..."
wth? XD
thanks for the kind words ;)
thanks! most ships are still work in progress, this was a mere demonstration of what the mod looks like so far :)
haha, you know what'd be awesome?
That Sierra would release the source code for this game.. imagine all the possibilies O.O
nice list! i have a nice mod wich you might want to add: Moddb.com
Its an total-conversion mod wich addes new graphics, gameplay and a new singleplayer campaign/storyline :D
hmmmm looks interesting, this could be a VERY valuable addition to my mod... Especially since the current storyline can have multiple branches
41. grab that hulahoop and shake dat ***!
hmm, well that IS true haha!
thank you! ^.^
yeah ORB had a more NEXUS-ish feeling to it: darker and more focused at realism, while Homeworld is more story-driven.
With this mod im hoping to make a combo of those two: realism (as far as the engine will let me) and story.
the sun you see is actually a ship-object, with a gigantic navlight for the corona :P
The map itself has two lights: one very bright yellow-ish light coming fron the sun and a second, black, light coming from the other side to create a very contrasting light effect.
This map will be featured in the first beta release so then you can see for yourself :)
*smiles too* heheh, well that all depends on the obstacles along the way i guess.
I'm currently having lots of trouble getting the intro cinematic to work right. Somehow after a cinematic the mission just freezes and says the campaign has ended, but when i remove the cinematic the mission works normally o.o
anyways, i think it could just be a month from now, so... April 1th? XD
ahh O.R.B. that brings back memories :D still have that game lying here :3
I'm focusing more on realism when it comes to the graphics in this mod i.e. a darker universe, more use of fx such as lensflares etc.
wow, i can honestly say that this is the first time i have seen water/oceans rendered so... perfect! really impressive stuff here guys!
Sounds like a cool new addition to the Portal universe, tracking this one :3
wooo, my first fan XD
haha, i wish it was almost finished!
I do have come a long way, but i have barely started making the singleplayer campaign & recording new sounds etc.
i will keep ya'll posted tho :D
thanks for the nice comment!
I'm currently working on the storyboard for the singleplayer campaign, so more info wil surely be coming soon!
