Olaf IV remains one of Hordaland's more obscure monarchs. This is perhaps surprising considering Hordaland itself was emerging from obscurity on Europe's fringes.
Much of his life would be spent in the shadow of his father, the victorious conqueror or Hordaland Haakon V. It is known Olaf campaigned for his father in Scotland and was rewarded with land around Stavanger. He was almost forty by the time his father died, a veteran commander and probably quite rich in his own right.
His foreign policy firmly followed his father's interference in Scotland, but instead of working to undermine it Olaf switched to supporting the failing state against Anglian attacks. Charles II had effectively annexed Scotland in 1214 and though there was no explicit threat against Orkney's territory Olaf certainly felt like Anglia had grabbed too much power in Britannia. Several Scottish lords remained in exile in Bergen at Olaf's expense. And though Olaf would not cross the sea for himself again Hordalandic and Orcadian troops were certainly present when Scotland revolted in 1217. His third son Haakon would marry Matilda of Scotland.
Marriage policies also saw his eldest daughter Kristin married to Sancho III of Leon whilst his third married into Manx nobility to strengthen ties there.
Olaf's reign saw the adoption of a number of continental European traits, namely the chivalric-romantic ideals espoused in French and German literature and magnificent royal buildings built in stone. Despite this minor cultural shift and the psychical presence of the new buildings Olaf appears little in the records and he seems to have actively promoted his father's achievements over his own legacy.
Olaf would die in 1226 and would be succeeded by his eldest son Eric. His youngest son Haakon would also rule Hordaland during the middle of the century.

How would you like to move programmes recorded on a Sky+ to your mobile phone, for watching on the daily commute? Well, the technology to do this is remarkably close. In the States, Motorola has announced a video-sharing technology designed to let its own-brand hard drive digital recorders (it makes them for several US cable companies) pipe video material to a Motorola phone. Users must sit their Razr V3x (this is the only mobile with which it will work at present) in a cradle which is hardwired to the PVR. Via an onscreen GUI, users can then simply shunt material from the parent device to the mobile client. Owners can also call into to their PVR from the phone to set the timer, although they can't view or move content remotely. As yet the technology has a few DRM (digital rights management) bugs to iron out, but the company hopes to make it a commercial reality in 2007. With Sky preparing to introduce a fully integrated broadband, TV and phone package later this year, the likelihood of a similar system being introduced in the UK can be considered fair to good.

Dearest Readers,
Whew! I have finally finished putting away the Christmastide decorations and have put my beloved Honey Hill back in good and proper order. What a wonderful feeling to have a clean slate all ready to be filled with various and sundry pleasantries in this new year of 2013!
It has started off rather cold this January and much time and energy has been put forth to keep both the animals and plants (in the greenhouse) happy and warm. Not to mention, the comforts required to keep body and soul agreeable. However, it is going to be in the upper 50's today and the sun's warmth is a welcome respite indeed. I shall fling open the curtains and let the sunshine chase away the shadows!
Dearest and I plan an outing with our Darling Girl tomorrow and our looking forward to seeing her as we have kept our distance these last two weeks. We have both been passing around some type of bug...not quite the flu...but perhaps it is a distant cousin, and thought it best to keep it to ourselves.We shall visit the Brass Armadillo, one of our favorite places, and spend an enjoyable day scouring its shelves for a bit or a bob to bring home...doubtless entertainment assured.
I have been
obsessed looking over my many gardening books and seed catalogs and will be ready to place my order very soon. I am thinking I shall try to grow some determinate tomatoes for canning, along with some indeterminate tomatoes for summer eating...any advice from a learned gardener would be most welcome. Of course, I will plant the usual..carrots, peas, beans, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, and pumpkins. I also have raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and grapes. All in all, I think it will be a very well rounded garden and I am praying that we will have abundant rainfall this year.
My sewing basket is filled with aprons for both myself and my Darling Girl, a very cute fleece vest pattern and I want to make a few faux shades for the upstairs bathroom. On the crafting end of things, I have some beading of necklaces and pins, embroidery, and I am still learning how to crochet.
The fruit cellar has been re-orgainzed and cleaned and I have need of a few more lights which Dearest has graciously offered to install. I bought a Foodsaver, with the jar sealing attachment, and I am excited to be able to successfully store the drygoods that I purchase in bulk. I have become much more attuned to the need for food preservation and I am trying to learn as many techniques as possible. I do not want to sound like Chicken Little, but should there be an event that causes a crisis in our lives, I want to be able to take care of those around me, and a nice warm meal would be a good way to start.
My, oh my, what a wonderful affair this idea of a clean slate brings! A whole year with no mistakes in it! I hope that you will fill yours, dear reader, full to over-flowing with blessings and delight.
Ever so kindredly,

The Research Career Development Institute for Psychiatry is a collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University to recruit and train a broad-based group of promising junior physicians by providing the necessary skills and support for successful research careers in academic psychiatry.
Participants whose interests span the spectrum of clinical and intervention research attend a multiday career development institute workshop and follow-up annual booster sessions conducted with the American College of Neuropsycho-pharmacology. The program identifies and trains 20 new physician-researchers each year, with particular emphasis on women, minorities, and those from less research-intensive psychiatry departments, and provides booster sessions for all trainees. An annual evaluation is used to renew and update the content of the institutes and to measure the long-term value in research and career success.
This report is based on the results of 77 participants from the first four Career Development Institute classes. Qualitative assessment of the program content and process led to improvements in each successive year's workshop. Preliminary quantitative follow-up assessment of participants indicated successful career progress toward individual objectives.
By providing early career investigators with skills to cope with local and national forces in academic medical centers, the Career Development Institute is significantly contributing to the development of the next generation of leading academic clinical researchers in mental health and can serve as a model for other biomedical research arenas.
The past two decades have witnessed a crisis in clinical research, as evidenced by the dwindling number of physician-scientists nationally (1), particularly for mental health, where fewer physicians pursue clinical research careers and the dropout rate is high among those who do. Conferences in 2003 and 2005 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Psychiatry Training Council (NPTC) (2, 3) reviewed reasons for this decline, one of which is lack of support for physician-scientists during the transition from fellow to independent investigator (4, 5).
In December 2002, an American College of Neuropsy-chopharmacology (ACNP) conference workshop on career development addressed the challenges of training the next generation of physician-scientists and identified the necessary next steps: to recruit early in medical school, provide mentored research advice on using time and implementing strategic career development timetables leading to peer-reviewed publications, ensure psychological support at critical transition points, and maximize the use of new NIH loan forgiveness programs.
A review of the literature (6–17), examination of similar training programs (e.g., the Summer Research Institute in Geriatric Psychiatry) (18, 19), and our own experience to date underscore the importance of critical time periods and, particularly, the transition from residency or postdoctoral training to faculty status. Although some psychiatry departments contain the necessary infrastructure for research training, the vast majority do not. Thus, we need to develop strategies to entice junior people to enter research careers and provide opportunities, strategies, and tactics to help them and their home institutions nurture their research careers. We believe that a key transition point is related to the initial faculty years. Many junior faculty members never apply for a career development award. Many of those who apply but are not successful on their first submission do not resubmit. Although infrastructure mechanisms in individual departments and universities can be developed, how can we best help junior investigators sustain a commitment to an academic research career, and how can we expand their exposure to effective strategies, models, and mentors that are the keys to successful academic research careers?
The Research Career Development Institute for Psychiatry (CDI) was designed to provide skills and support for successful research careers in academic psychiatry. Through a collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University, we have conducted a series of annual research career development institutes with a broad-based group of promising junior physicians whose interests span the spectrum of clinical and intervention research. The program entails a multiday career development institute workshop, follow-up booster sessions, and annual assessment of the long-term value in research and career success.
The CDI is designed to improve and augment participants' repertoire of academic research "survival skills," providing continuing support in their transition to independent investigation, fostering shared learning experiences with other investigators at similar developmental stages, and establishing a network of junior investigators and senior mentors across the United States. The CDI emphasizes NIH career development (K series) award as a key vehicle for successful progression to independent clinical investigator, which is consistent with the recommendation of NIH Director's Panel on Clinical Research (5). A K award validates for the candidate, professional colleagues, and the funding agency that the recipient has made a significant commitment to life as a clinical researcher. In pragmatic terms, the current funding structure for initial K awards from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (i.e., 100% salary support up to a maximum of $90,000 and an annual research budget of $50,000 for 5 years) makes K awards more "secure" than an R01, in which levels of salary support are typically lower and an initial award is likely to be of shorter duration. Further, by requiring at least a 75% time commitment per year, the K award allows junior investigators to have the necessary protected time to develop their own research programs.
We annually recruit a new cohort of approximately 20 participants. Applicants to the program should have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree, be in the final year of a residency or advanced postdoctoral position, or be at the junior faculty level for fewer than 5 years. Participants are chosen based on their academic accomplishments and commitment to a research career in psychiatry, as reflected in peer-reviewed publications, applications for research funding, personal statements, and endorsements from a mentor. Diversity on the basis of ethnicity, race, gender, scientific interests across the spectrum of clinical and intervention research, geographic location, and institutional affiliation are also considered. Although the primary focus is on psychiatrists, with an emphasis on women and minorities, we also recruit promising psychologists.
We post announcements in the communication media of major psychiatric organizations (e.g., APA), subspecialty organizations relevant to research training (e.g., T32 research training program directors, directors of neuroscience and intervention and services research centers, NIMH program staff, ACNP membership), and minority organizations (e.g., Association of Black Psychiatrists). Most applicants have heard about the CDI from colleagues and past participants.
The CDI faculty and staff, who participate in the 4-day workshop, booster sessions, and long-distance mentoring, consist of experts in various fields of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University and reflect the diversity for which we are aiming in the composition of participants. Faculty members are selected based on their recognition as outstanding mental health scientists in psychiatric subspecialties, neuroscience, and relevant disciplines; track record of successful mentoring; and being excellent role models.
The program commences with a 4-day workshop (agenda available from the authors on request), which alternates each year between the Northeast (University of Pittsburgh) and the West Coast (Stanford University), with key faculty from both departments participating. The didactic curriculum focuses on the skill sets necessary for interdisciplinary research, emphasizing current priorities related to translational research. Training in research ethics and responsible conduct of research is integrated into all aspects of the program. In addition to the core didactics, time is devoted to oral platform presentations with feedback from faculty, in which participants each give a 10–15 minute summary of their current research to small groups of faculty and fellow participants. The program also includes a mock grant review session, for which four to five participants submit a grant proposal ahead of time for review. The fourth day is devoted to research methodology and content lectures on cutting-edge research questions in translational research. Topics vary year to year and have included mediator/moderator analysis and clinical significance.
Before the workshop, we identify potential mentors for each participant from among the CDI faculty. We base the pairings on the participant's input, career stage, research interests, and short- and long-term career goals. One-on-one consultations are then held throughout the 4-day workshop to focus on developing goals, reviewing the participant's existing mentoring network, and identifying other potential long-distance expertise. Between the two host universities, approximately 200 full-time research faculty, from junior to senior to emeritus representing all psychiatric specialties, provide a very large pool of psychiatric researchers available to train, teach, coach, and mentor, and any of them potentially could become long-distance mentors.
To help maintain long-term mentoring relationships, we provide all CDI participants and faculty access to a web site that serves as the central communication vehicle to provide up-to-date administrative information, downloadable CDI course documents, and seminars on career development. The web site provides a secure virtual meeting place for live presentations, lectures, and discussions. The proceedings are posted in three formats: videotaped presentation, slides, and text transcription. In addition, over 25 CDI faculty members have been interviewed for 30 minutes each, from which we glean 2–3 minute snippets of wisdom on their key recommendations for developing and sustaining an academic research career.
We sustain the momentum of the initial CDI workshop with booster sessions attended by CDI alumni, key CDI faculty from the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University, and NIMH program staff. Booster sessions are held annually in conjunction with ACNP meetings, with agreement of the ACNP Council. The ACNP meeting was chosen for the venue because the small size of the meeting directed specifically toward translational research facilitates networking and one-to-one consultation with a diverse group of mental health researchers, key CDI faculty, and NIMH staff. Although ACNP does not focus specifically on psychosocial, epidemiological, or health services research, all aspects of mental health research are represented by the ACNP membership and among the presentations. Given the interdisciplinary and translational nature of current mental health research, the meeting ensures that CDI participants are exposed to the most recent work in the basic neurosciences, which is important even for those whose research focus is on other areas of mental health research. In addition, that year's CDI graduates are invited to attend the ACNP program as traveling fellows and to attend the ACNP meeting as well as special activities designed just for them. The goals of the annual booster session are to provide additional consultation and assistance to CDI participants in writing career development award applications (or other types of competitive applications), to give CDI participants an opportunity to deliver oral progress reports of their research and career development activities, to strengthen the networks of "distance" mentoring and peer support, and to participate in discussions of career development strategies. In addition, we hold informal sessions with CDI alumni at the New Clinical Drug Evaluation Unit (NCDEU), APA, and other professional meetings to maintain face-to-face interactions and reinforce the mentoring relationships with CDI faculty.
The goals of the evaluation plan are both process- and outcome-oriented. Process evaluation, the results of which are reported here, occurs at the conclusion of each CDI workshop, when participants complete a self-report questionnaire assessing their satisfaction and recommendations for revisions to the didactic content, structure, and strategies of the workshop and provide open feedback in a group discussion.
Our outcome evaluation is designed to determine whether CDI alumni successfully launch and maintain their research careers in psychiatry. Prior to participation in the CDI and annually thereafter, we collect information about participants' backgrounds and experiences through a self-report questionnaire and curriculum vitae to assess current academic appointments in university departments of psychiatry, portion of time devoted to research and career development, applications for research funding, research awards, number and venue of peer-reviewed publications, and honors, awards, and other recognition for research achievement. At the end of the project's funding period (2010), we will have amassed up to 6 years' worth of follow-up data, beginning with the participants of the 2004 CDI. Therefore, these results are not presented here.
We completed a qualitative analysis aimed at identifying important themes or recommendations from CDI participants to facilitate our understanding of aspects of the program that may be most useful or in need of modification. This information is employed to continually renew, update, and improve the overall curriculum and processes.
We have now recruited and followed four Research Career Development Institute for Psychiatry (CDI) classes, alternating meeting venues between the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University. The first two (2004 at the University of Pittsburgh and 2005 at Stanford University) consisted of a 2.5-day workshop and optional half-day methodology seminar. Based on our experience and participant response, we lengthened the subsequent two workshops (2006 and 2007) to 4 days.
Of the 212 individuals who applied for the four workshops, 42% were women (n=89) and 15% represented racial and ethnic minority groups (n=32). Of the 77 young investigators who were selected to attend, 50% were women (n=38), 17% represented racial and ethnic minority groups (n=13), 62% had M.D. degrees (n=48), 13% had M.D./Ph.D. degrees (n=10), 22% had Ph.D. degrees (n=17), and 3% had other degrees (n=2) (Table 1). Geographically, 48% represented universities in the eastern United States (n=37), 18% Midwestern universities (n=14), 18% southern (n=14), 13% western (n=10), and 3% Canadian (n=2).
It is too early to assess definitive outcomes. We obtained preliminary data in September, 2007, on the 2004–2006 classes (the 2007 class had just completed the CDI at the time of writing and hence were not included) that indicate a significant majority of our CDI alumni have gone on to academic research appointments or remained in a research career track. Twenty individuals assumed positions at other institutions. Since attending the CDI workshop (from 1–3 years), 23 CDI alumni were appointed assistant professor, six were appointed instructor, and seven went on to research fellowships (one at NIMH). The 11 individuals who were already assistant professors at the time of the CDI workshop were still in these appointments. One participant whose focus was bioethical issues became a vice chair on a university institutional review board. Sixty-seven percent of the CDI alumni (n=38) continued to keep in contact with their CDI peers and 46% (n=26) with CDI faculty. Almost all (94%, n=53) have had success in finding good mentors; most of these mentors (72%, n=40) are local (as opposed to long distance). Sixty-seven percent of CDI alumni (n=38) are mentoring other individuals interested in research careers. The average time devoted to research was 75%, while protected research time by their respective institutions was 67%. To date, the 77 participants from the 2004–2007 classes have received 27 NIH awards (of which 11 were research career development "K" awards) and 22 NARSAD Young Investigator Awards.
We have conducted four booster sessions at ACNP, for the 2004–2007 classes. Eighty-five percent of CDI alumni have attended. Key recommendations of CDI faculty included the demonstration of some type of academic productivity; use of collaborative pathways; use of the CDI infrastructure for advice, possible review of proposals, and ongoing communications and resources; the possible need to assess realistically whether a change in institution may be necessary to attain goals; emphasizing interactions with NIH program officers prior to application submission; careful reading of program announcements; and the importance of having a well-thought-out research and training plan for K applications. Alumni had an opportunity to provide updates on their career activities since the spring CDI, highlighting both positive and negative developments. Recurring themes emerged from the discussions: challenges in the mentoring relationship (including loss of significant mentors, development of co-mentors outside the department, establishing meeting time with senior-level mentors, and building a dossier independent from one's mentor when writing papers) and challenges associated with multiple professional roles (prioritizing roles within the department; balancing professional and personal lives; developing project management skills, including hiring and managing staff, managing a budget, and running a project day-to-day; and negotiating faculty positions with protection for research/academic time). Individual consultations were arranged between alumni and CDI faculty for feedback on grant applications, advice on resubmissions, and practical strategies for managing research projects. The impact of these modifications will be assessed in the next stage of the evaluation process.
Based on participant feedback, we moved the oral presentations to the afternoon of the first day to decrease participants' anxiety about their presentations. We also increased the time allocated for the mock NIH study section review of participant grant applications and for one-to-one mentorship consultations between participants and CDI faculty, allowing each participant to meet with at least three different faculty members from his or her areas of interest.
Although individual departmental strategies and resources may be available for facilitating the career development of investigators at the early stages of an academic research career, the opportunities provided by the CDI for rapid acquisition and practice of survival skills will increase the likelihood of eventual success for the junior mental health scientists who participate. At the critical transition from trainee to junior faculty member, the availability of booster sessions with seasoned mentors, experienced teachers and researchers, and peers at similar points in their careers will increase the proportion of physicians reaching independent investigator status. The acquisition of key survival skills, coupled with a new level of networking, represents a significant increase in research infrastructure support "without walls" for our participants, and this is a major goal of our program. Learning how to cope with both local and national forces in academic medical centers represents an important challenge for junior investigators that we can help provide the skills to master.
It is too early in the program to conduct a definitive outcome analysis to assess its effectiveness in contributing to the successful launch of an academic career. The academic, research, and career data we are collecting will be compared with national figures of similar candidates who did not apply to attend the CDI. However, we recognize the potential for selection bias—individuals who are motivated to apply for the CDI may be more likely to succeed. Thus, we believe that a more appropriate comparison group would be those individuals who applied to attend the CDI in the same year, were eligible, but were not selected. Using the NIH CRISP database and data from NARSAD, preliminary data indicate that 12% of CDI participants (9 of 77) received NIH K awards, and 25% received NARSAD awards (19 of 77), while 6% of those who applied for the CDI but were not selected (8 of 135) received NIH K awards, and 9% received NARSAD awards (13 of 135), thus suggesting that participation in the CDI increases one's chances of obtaining these awards. We will also be able to compare nonparticipants with CDI participants using publication tracking systems such as PubMed and PsycINFO.
In addition, Drs. Kupfer and Schatzberg will contact the chairs of CDI participants' current departments to solicit their opinions about the impact of the CDI on the growth of individual participants and any contributions that participants have made to the research culture of their present work settings. We will assess whether any changes have developed in their departments to provide better mentorship opportunities, continued education, and grant writing experiences.
Evaluations of the success of CDI participants must be sensitive to the barriers to research careers encountered by members of underrepresented minority groups and women. We will investigate the extent to which these barriers are professional (e.g., a scarcity of minority and female mentors) or personal (e.g., decisions about where to live influenced by minority demographics, the timing of child-rearing, issues in negotiating the demands of two-career couples) by asking all participants to respond to a questionnaire on these topics, which will be administered at the ACNP booster sessions and in our annual longitudinal follow-up.
The Research Career Development Institute for Psychiatry (CDI) was developed in response to the necessity of encouraging physician-scientists and psychologists to pursue academic clinical research careers in mental health by providing those already exhibiting an interest in this career track with exposure to state-of-the-art strategies, role models, and mentors to enhance their success. Not all academic departments have the resources to provide junior faculty and investigators with these skills in a systematic way. Indeed, even when they do, such approaches are often limited by being purely didactic rather than interactive, representing the perspective of one department and one potential way of approaching an academic career, and failing to recognize the benefits of providing ongoing, individual mentorship. We believe that the CDI provides one programmatic approach tailored to presenting the best possible information on all aspects of career development from academic experts with a broad range of perspectives on career development and a combination of didactic and interactive approaches to maximize the learning experience. While the core materials provide essential information, the one-to-one feedback and counseling sessions provide participants with guidance to work through difficulties and problems across a wide array of topics, from methodological issues to fostering collaborations. By providing early career investigators with the necessary skills to cope with local and national forces in an academic medical center, the CDI is making a significant contribution to the development of the next generation of leading academic clinical researchers in mental health and can serve as a model program for other biomedical research arenas.

Supplement Recipe Cleared P
from John W.
I know that you deal with a lot of psoriatics, but I just wanted to give you a brief insight into my P experience.
I have dealt with P since '89 and on different occasions have been anywhere from 90% clear to 90% covered. Well anyway, I am presently 100% clear and have been so since I started the following regimen. I am no doctor, but this has worked for both myself and a fellow sufferer. It goes like this:
Each AM we take the following with milk. Instead of milk, you can use Equate®:
200mg of Zinc
I have now been clear 8 months. Usually I am at least 60% covered at this time of year.
Maybe this will help someone else. I am no longer leaving DNA all over the place! -John W.
Ed's Response: Thanks for the "recipe," John. How did you learn about this particular combination of food supplements? Many homeopathic approaches to P involve supplements that include some of the things I see in your list (zinc, for instance is commonly — and argumentatively — associated with P therapy). Also, I'm wondering if dosages — about which your list is precise — aren't dependent upon body size at all?
You wrote you have been clear "since I started the following regimen." It must have taken some number of weeks for your lesions to actually subside. Could you tell us about how many? I ask because that's always the question I get (and ask myself) ... When should I expect to see improvement?
And let me digress for a moment for a general comment about dietary supplement regimens:
Folks, we've got to start looking carefully at non-prescription solutions. I was appalled to figure out the cost of my P therapies (all conventional therapies) in 2000 was about $7,000! For the moment, I have both health and prescription insurance. If I did not have this coverage, I would not be pursuing the course of therapy I am. (But I was equally dismayed to discover my insurance was paying considerably smaller portions of these bills than the policy suggests!) While I am a cartwheel-turning optimist about new therapies for P in the development pipeline now — and the probability of a cure in the not-so-distant future — I'm scared most of us will not be able to afford these "solutions" when they become available.
In this environment, the counter-scares the traditional medicine ideologues throw back at us — "dietary supplements can be dangerous or a waste of money" — begin to sound like histrionics. Of course we need to be careful. That goes without saying. But how careful are we being when we increase our dependency upon ever-more-expensive prescription therapies and dismiss out-of-hand possible solutions that are much more affordable?
So... I say again to you, John. Thanks for the recipe. I hope you'll email back with more details. Meanwhile, anyone who tries John's recipe is invited to share results with all of us. -Ed

Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3 Certified Motherboard
Powered by Intel's own Thunderbolt controller the new Thunderbolt™ 3 protocol, which is available over a USB Type-C™ connector on the back I/O of the GIGABYTE Z170X-Designare, brings an unprecedented single-wire bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s -- twice more than the previous generation of Thunderbolt! This incredible increase in bandwidth is also accompanied with support for different protocols such as DisplayPort 1.2 and USB 3.1, which is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, opening up a world of new possibilities.
Daisy-chain Multiple Devices
Support for DisplayPort 1.2 makes Thunderbolt™ 3 a must have for any enthusiast. The Z170X-Designare is able to support two displays in 4K resolution at 60 FPS or one display in 5K resolution. In addition, Thunderbolt™ 3 over USB Type-C™ has revolutionary industry-first features such as Power Delivery 2.0, and the ability to daisy-chain up to 12 devices thanks to the Z170X-Designare's dual USB Type-C™ ports.
NVIDIA / AMD / Intel Graphics Support for
GIGABYTE implementing Thunderbolt™ 3 allows users to utilize all facets of this technology. GIGABYTE's unique design of incorporating a video input port, via Mini DisplayPort, allows users to take full advantage of their discrete NVIDIA or AMD Graphics Cards. By merging the performance of these discrete cards with Thunderbolt™ 3 users can now leverage the fast data transfer speeds and latest gaming technologies into a single Thunderbolt™ (USB Type-C™) cable.

|Re: Extract vectors
|Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:33:19 GMT
Hi again, I am still having problems reading in path data from PDFBox. I have an example working with PDFTron that displays the path data no problem but after inspecting the code it seems it never enters a XObject or Form XObject. (I can give you an example of the code if you want.) It simply seems to walks straight into a Path object using an "ElementReader" which provides a way of traversing the Element display list of a page. According to its documentation: "The display list representing graphical elements (such as text-runs, paths, images, shadings, forms, etc) is accessed using the intrinsic iterator. ElementReader automatically concatenates page contents spanning multiple streams and provides a mechanism to parse contents of sub-display lists (e.g. forms XObjects and Type3 fonts). " Is it possible for Path Objects to not be inside a form XObject? In my brief reading of the PDF Spec it doesn't seem to explicitly say that path data will be found in form XObjects. Just that "a form XObject is an entire content stream to be treated as a single graphics object". If my understanding is correct a XObject is a an external object that can be referenced in the content stream so that content can be reused. Then if the image only appears once there will be no reason create a reference for it. If that is the case how did Adobe know where the vector images were? Do you think they went as far as hit testing the paths to see if the paths were somehow grouped together? As currently all I have is all the vector graphics found on a page in one EPS file, rather than an EPS file for each vector graphic in a page. Thanks, Graeme

Alert 1 Medical Alert Review
ConsumersAdvocate.org Rating: 7.8 / 10 (Very good)
Why They're an Excellent Choice
Alert 1 is a respected company that's been around for more than 25 years. Their system is durable and utilitarian. What's more, their customer service representatives are fast to answer calls. Though portability and call button design are average, Alert 1's service is consistently rated as being exceptionally reliable.
Price isn't much of a differentiator for Alert 1, as their $39.95-$69.95/mo plan pricing makes them a bit more expensive than average for monthly rates. What the company does have going for it is quality of service. Alert 1 is one of the few providers of medical alert technologies who can boast over 2 decades of satisfied customers.
What's Included with Alert 1:
- 24-Hour access to phone operators.

- Monthly plan requires 3-month initial payment
- Monthly service required with all plans
The Bottom Line:
The call buttons are not the most elegant, but purely from a quality of service standpoint Alert 1 is one of the top medical alert systems on the market.

A Look Ahead At The 1/9 Visits
Published: Wednesday, January 7, 2004 at 9:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 7, 2004 at 9:44 p.m.
This weekend is the first big weekend of official visits in this critical stretch run for Gator recruiting. 15 recruits are due to be in Gainesville. Amongst them are players that represent important pieces to filling needs. Linebackers Keith Rivers, Brandon Siler and James Bryant could go along way to helping reload a linebacker group that loses two starters and three total from the depth chart. Tate Casey is more than capable of being the next great Gator tight end, if he comes to Gainesville which would mean picking Florida and passing on the Major League Baseball draft. Offensive linemen Drew Miller and Jason Watkins are priorities with the Gators losing two offensive linemen this year and then several more again next year. Safety commits Kyle Jackson and Tony Joiner are expected to be a big part of the Florida secondary which graduated all of its starters this year. Cornerback McIntosh Nicolas would also go a long way towards revamping the secondary. Defensive linemen Joe Joseph and Brandon Lang are very talented players that could add needed depth to the defensive front. Wide receivers DJ Hall and Doug Dutch are big time playmakers that potentially could be very nice weapons for Chris Leak to throw to. Cornelius Ingram represents someone that could be groomed to follow Chris Leak.
This weekend is that much more crucial with some recruits in particular who plan to announce their respective college intentions shortly after this weekend. Amongst them are Rivers, Dutch and Casey, who will likely make their college choice known this coming week. Hall, Siler, Nicolas, Ingram, Watkins and Miller are all guys that could announce following this visit but may choose to make more visits before announcing.
Leading up to this weekend the biggest topic of discussion is the future of Keith Rivers, a 5 star linebacker from Orlando. He is down to Southern Cal and Florida now with SC maintaining a slight lead. Coach Zook and the staff have made a great run in his recruitment to have the opportunity that they do. It was long thought that Rivers was a SC lock, but slowly but surely the Gators clawed their way back. With Keith planning to spend the 9th, 10th and 11th in Gainesville before making his official announcement on the 12th, one has to like the Gators' chances. A commitment from Rivers could have a similar effect to the commitment last year from Chris Leak. Another key commitment next week will be Tate Casey making his intentions known. Casey picking Florida fills a big need. If he selects UCLA, Octavious Darby becomes a must get for Florida.
The formula for recruiting success last year was a strong January push featuring the bulk of the allotted official campus visits. That is the recipe that Ron Zook and company are looking to replicate after signing what many considering the top class in the Nation last year.

Well I think Dick Morris was right for once. He says the polls that showed an 11-10 pt blowout were wrong, though he believes they served their purpose to depress Republican turnout.
But the polls showing a 2% or 4% race were off as well. I guess the aggregate of all polls taken together was correct after all.
Morris was way off. WAY, WAY off. He now bloviates as if he did not completely make a fool of himself just on Monday. Why is he even getting the attention he is? Because he made predictions far different from Karl Rove and other Republicans? Nothing but Morris just being a self-serving tool.

My daughter Bree has been attending mermaid classes at no ripples ...... I am very happy with Michaela's ...
Thank you so much to you and the girls for doing such a fabulous job on Sunday! Everyone absolutely loved it. I have had so many messages from mothers saying their children can't stop talking about the mermaids! I also had a lot of feedback on lovely and kind the girls were with the kids when they swam with them afterwards. Well done and again a huge thank you! I would be very grateful if you could pass our thanks and feedback on! Christine
No Ripples is an amazing service, particularly for girls who love water, swimming or synchronised swimming. Michaela is very experienced and super friendly. As a synchronised swimming coach I would recommend this activity to everyone who wants to have fun in the water while being guided by qualified and experienced instructors. Mermaiding is a new water skill and it's so much fun!
Lexie really loved the class and the whole mermaid experience. She loved wearing the mermaid fin the best. Michaela was very professional, friendly and caring and put Lexie at ease straight away. The activities that the girls completed were fun and made Lexie feel like she was a real mermaid, while teaching her some fundamental strategies for her to be safe in the water. I would rate the whole experience a 9 for both Lexie and myself as a parent. Thank you for our lesson and we are planning to have another in the near future and have already recommended the lessons to friends.

A celebration of Scottish heritage set in 1,000 acres of stunning parkland, the 4-star Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club boasts breathtaking views to Edinburgh Castle and the Forth Bridges.
The Dalmahoy Country Club has hosted both the Solheim Cup and the Scottish PGA Championship, earning it an excellent reputation for its high quality golf courses. There are two great golf courses to pick from, the Resort West Course and the Championship East Course which contrast beautifully to make for an interesting and enjoyable golf break to Scotland.
The Dalmahoy Hotel is located in Kirknewton, only 7 miles from Edinburgh city centre, making it the ideal venue for a quick retreat. It is difficult to believe that Edinburgh Airport can be reached in just 10 minutes.
The Dalmahoy Hotel offers 215 spacious bedrooms with all the amenities you would require throughout your stay and more. Each suite comes equipped with 24 hour room service, coffee making facilities, satellite TV, luxurious bedding and of course an en-suite bathroom. The venue is situated in 1,000-acres of beautiful landscaped grounds, making this the ideal retreat for a golfing getaway.
For an evening meal there is the option of either The Zest Cafe Bar, offering a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a range of meals and snacks, or the Pentland Restaurant, an AA Rosette award winning restaurant which offers a more formal atmosphere, serving up beautifully prepared Scottish dishes.
The Dalmahoy Hotel also offers a well-equipped gym, indoor pool and a spa to help guests unwind after their rounds on the golf course. The spa itself offers a range of different services including hair & scalp treatments, lip treatments, makeup services, manicures/pedicures and waxing.
The vibrant city of Edinburgh is great fun and just a short drive away from this stunning Dalmahoy golf hotel. There is plenty of history and architecture to explore, with Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile full of little places to discover and learn more about this city's heritage. There are 7 hills in Edinburgh and Arthur's is the pick of the bunch, with stunning panoramic views across the entire city.
The Scott Monument is not for the faint-hearted: climb up hundreds of stairs in narrow corridors and the views from the top of this tower are just stunning. Rose Street and George Street are full of fantastic bars and restaurants, and range from trendy, upmarket bars to quaint pubs full of character. For a splash of culture why not visit the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
Dalmahoy Hotel has everything you would expect from a 4* venue and more. With 215 luxurious guestrooms and 2 magnificent courses set in beautiful landscaped grounds, this perfect location for a golf break.

Does anyone really care about mock drafts this early in the year? I don't know if it's just because I enjoy participating in them or if there really is something to be gained even now in practicing one's draft skills.
Nevertheless, I took part last night in what's at least my sixth mock draft of the offseason. This one will be part of the 2012 Fantasy Baseball Guide and it featured a number of fantasy experts (Lawr Michaels, Doug Anderson and Nick Minnix to name three) whose words have been featured right here in this blog.
The interesting thing is that this was a re-do of a draft we held in November -- same people, same order -- but with one major difference. Ryan Braun went first overall back then, before we learned of his impending 50-game suspension. I don't want to give the results away, but let's just say Braun fell considerably (to a round that rhymes with "score").
As I tweeted yesterday, I had the No. 10 overall pick in the 15-team draft. With the talent spread thinly in that size league, I targeted Rays 3B Evan Longoria in the first round and was happy when he was available at that spot.
My goal over the last few drafts I've done has been to fill the scarce positions of third base, second base and shortstop early and fill in the rest of my roster from the deeper talent pools at outfield and pitcher. This time, I'm not sure it worked out completely.
1. Evan Longoria, 3B
2. Justin Verlander, SP
3. Elvis Andrus, SS
4. Mike Napoli, C
5. Mike Morse, 1B
6. Shin-Soo Choo, OF
7. David Ortiz, DH
8. Daniel Hudson, SP
9. Jordan Zimmermann, SP
10. Ryan Howard, CI
11. Sergio Santos, RP
12. Torii Hunter, OF
13. Joe Nathan, RP
14. Jaime Garcia, SP
15. Gordon Beckham, 2B
16. Lucas Duda, OF
17. Emilio Bonifacio, MI
18. Yoenis Cespedes, OF
19. Jordan Schafer, OF
20. Carlos Ruiz, C
21. Francisco Liriano, SP
22. Mike Adams, RP
23. Chris Capuano, SP
As you might expect, the first base and outfield possibilities had thinned considerably by the time I finally got around to picking one in the fifth round. I did get Ryan Howard fairly late (he was taken in Round 9 last time), so he seemed to be a worthwhile gamble. If we were playing this out, I could pick from either corner infield spot to replace him.
I kept looking for value in the outfield and it never really showed up -- although my outfield in the earlier draft of Brett Gardner, Cameron Maybin, Duda, Chris Heisey and Bryce Harper looks much weaker by comparison.
I was talking with another participant -- Tim McLeod of Rotorob.com -- after the draft about the availability of speed this year. Obviously, there's plenty of elite speed that gets taken early (Andrus was my nod to that), but there also seems to be a nice pocket of relatively cheap outfield speed in guys like Coco Crisp, Mike Trout, Ben Revere, Dexter Fowler, Lorenzo Cain and the guys I got in Rounds 17 and 19, Emilio Bonifacio and Jordan Schafer. Bonifacio spoiled his owners last season by getting 565 at-bats, so I wouldn't expect another 40 steals out of him. But a full season as the Astros starting center fielder and an improved on-base percentage could make Schafer a great late sleeper.
Verlander in the second round elevates my pitching staff over the original version that had Dan Haren in Round 4 as its ace, Yovani Gallardo in Round 6 as its No. 2 and Adam Wainwright as 10th rounder.
Overall, the power should be there -- especially if Howard returns fairly soon -- and there's decent speed. I wonder if I could be in trouble in runs scored and batting average though. There are a lot of swings and misses in that lineup. Even top pick Longoria struck out in 19% of his at-bats last season. That's probably my biggest concern with this team.
I'd give the overall draft a C+ ... but then again, it's hard to like your entire team coming out of a 15-team mixed league draft.

Michael asks…
Camomile for Crazy Dog?
We have a little yippy brat that has endless energy and aggression. We walk her, play with her, give her plenty of attention, and nothing seems to work! I was looking online for some herbal remedies that might help her calm down, which I did find a few, but I also found that camomile could help just as well. And it is also the main ingredient in most of the ones I looked at. Anyone else heard of this? Or use this to help their pets? If so, does it work? How much do you give? What type do you use? Pill, power or make it like tea?
We've already used benedryl on her, many times, and I'm just worried to over use it and harm her. I was thinking maybe use the camomile mostly and the benedryl as a back up if shes really going off the walls. But thank you!
Forget the Benedryl… It is a drug no matter what people think, it's not the kind of thing you just run around giving to dog to try and solve problems..
Try Lavender… Lavender spray or in a diffuser does wonders for an energetic dog… So does plenty of exercise… But the Lavender will calm them … And helps with separation anxiety, with storms etc.
Charles asks…
my dog has a cold what do i do?
Plain rice and chicken alongside some camomile tea mixed in the water always did the trick for my dogs.
David asks…
My boxer has a rash on the inside of his hind leg?
Hello, I noticed last night when my dog got home from the baseball field with my boyfriend that he had a rash on the inside of his hind leg. It looks more like a burn from skin chafing together?? It is making him not want to move, i can barely get him to walk and once hes up, its very hard to get him to lay back down. Two days ago he swam in the salt water and then last night he did a lot of running, i am wondering if that caused the chafing on his leg? He shakes when i try and touch it, and winces in pain when he tries to jump. Has anyone seen this with their dog that could lend some advice? Of course, I will take him to the vet, i am just looking for a way to help his discomfort in the meantime.
Thanks for any advice!
Is it possible it's a jellyfish sting? You mentioned salt water? Camomile tea on a cold rag- puit on him and don't make him move until you get to the vet
Daniel asks…
Does the "Special K" diet really work?
I started the "Special K" diet on Monday — here is what I have eaten for the past 4 days…
Monday- 1 cup of Special K original cereal (with 1/2 cup of fat free milk) for breakfast;; a banana for a snack;; another cup of Special K cereal (with 1/2 cup of fat free milk) for lunch;; an apple for a snack;; and then for dinner I had meatballs and baked mac & cheese.
Tuesday- 1 cup of cereal (with a 1/2 cup of fat free milk) for breakfast;; half a banana for a snack;; a Special K cereal bar for lunch;; an apple for a snack;; and spaghetti for dinner.
Wednesday- I had a Special K cereal bar for breakfast;; an apple for a snack;; a Special K meal bar for lunch;; sugar free jell-o pudding for a snack (it only had 60 calories);; and a cheese hot dog for dinner.
Thursday- So far today I have eaten: a Special K cereal bar for breakfast;; an apple for a snack;; and a Special K meal bar for lunch …
I ONLY drink water, period. I used to be obsessed with Coke; but since Monday I have only had water to drink (and I really don't like water all that much, so I drink maybe a bottle of water a day- which I know is not enough for my body …)
My questions are:
1.) By following the above routine, do you think I will be able to lose weight on the Special K diet?
2.) I know I need to drink more water, but how much more? I thought about getting the Special K water mixes, but they're counted as a "snack" so I decided to skip it … and I know the Special K website says to drink beverages like normal, but I think if I drink a Coke or something else then it will completely defeat the purpose of the whole diet!
3.) Can anyone else give me personal experiences from their Special K diet? Did it work? Any advice would be wonderful; thank you!
Oh, by the way … I weigh approx. 138 lbs (I just had my daughter in August, so I am trying to lose my "baby fat") my goal is to weigh about 125 lbs. (what I weighed before I got pregnant)
U may lose some weight but maybe if your more active in the day (as u have a little one ,congratulations!) have the balanced meal at lunch still leaving u time to burn off the food u have eaten and have the cereal for breakfast and dinner. But personally i think the best thing to do is to make sure u always have a balanced meal ,because once u stop the cereal after the 2 weeks it will b eaiser to go for the quick meals.
I tryed the cereal thing got bored after like 3days!
Another tip i find good, is to not yourself get really hungry and also realize when you are full.
Try and aim for 1.5/ 2l water a day (4pints)
a day for me would be before breakfast about 7.00am i have a cup of warm water with lemon sqeezed in.always warm not cold as cold shocks the body and causes gas and bloating!! Not good!-
8.00 breakfast-cereal/toast/fruit salad and yoghurt one of those.
Dont know about you but i love a tea break usuall about 9.30 but reather than coffee or tea try herbal i like camomile.there a so many to choose.
By 10.00 i usuall have fruit juice (choose seasonal fruit)
12.30ish im ready for lunch something like grilled chiken with some olive oil,herbs,pepper and a little salt.cut into strips and serve with a beautiful salad or veg if ur missing potatoes try using quinoa (keen-wah) so many things can be added to make it amazing.
2.00pm i usually have another herb tea
if i feel peckish in the afternoon i eat pumpkinseeds/sunflowerseeds
4.00 piece of fruit or some cucumbersticks/carott/celeryect…
5.30 dinner fish or meat,veg or salad maybe some rice or 3/4 small new potatoes
7/8pm good old warm water and lemon (add a little honey )
dont ask why i dont know! But i find a really relaxing bath stops me wanting anything else to eat?!
So all day we have given the body lots of nice vitamins and minerals little time for the skin, for a real treat for your skin (available from heath food shops)-2tsp flax oil
2tsp aloe vera
3drops of the essential oils of frakincense and same amount of myrrh
before getting in use a dry skin brush-brush in long movements to the heart and brush lightly .
I hope that some things have been useful to you while on your new journey. I am a trained chef .i lost 56 pounds kept it off for over 2years and feel so much better because of it. One thing to keep in mind your not going on a diet your just changing your food options,it has to be somthing u can maintain good luck and have fun with it!
Helen asks…
Why do I have horrible nightmares every single night?
I have a very vivid, usually gruesome nightmare every single night. I'm always terrified in my dream, and it always deals with someone dying (and usually someone I love) or me being murdered (I don't ever actually die, I just am being chased). All my dreams are like an entire story line too, its SO weird. Like the other night (this one isn't soo scary, but it was like a book or a movie) I had a dream that me and my boyfriend were walking down the street very late at night when we came home from a big dinner party, and someone had been harassing me there. A cop turned on its lights down the street and came towards us and we figured they were just seeing if we were okay or whatever and we thought it would be good to tell them someone had harassed me. So the cops (a man and a woman) talked to us and told us to come down to the station with them and they took us to an old building, and we weren't sure what was going on but then i realized when we were in there that these people weren't really cops. They were with the person that harassed me and they were going to kill us there. They had taken my phone away from me but my boyfriend still had his phone so we were trying to sneak away to call someone but we never got away.
its just strange to me how detailed my dreams are and how much sense they can make, I mean most people have dreams that are just a bunch of jumbled thoughts, mine usually fit together.
I have dreams where people are stalking me all the time too, like last night I had a dream that I was putting on my make up at like 3 in the morning (for w/e reason) and all the lights were off, I was sitting at my computer desk where my big mirror is in my bedroom where I always do and I just glimpsed out my window and saw a man sitting in his car staring at me right outside my window. I freaked out and decided to go see what was going on, so I crawled to my front door and went outside. Almost every car in the lot was turned on and people were in their cars. All the sudden our dog came running over and I had to put him inside so as I went to grab him, he ran towards a wooded area and I saw a pack of wolves at the edge. For whatever reason I got into my car instead of going inside, but I called my boyfriend who was still in our apt to help me, and i locked my doors and sat inside. Suddenly, I heard some noise and Dakota (our dog) was sitting in the back seat and I was like, how did you get in here? and i realized there was a hole in my trunk and he got in through there, and all the wolves ran to my car and were trying to get in my car, but I was stuck with no escape.
Sorry for all the dreams and these dreams are probably the least scary I've had but, I mean there are some i have that are so horrible, I can't even write on here, they are just messed up. Does anyone know why I'm having nightmares every single night?? I wake up about 3 times a night terrified and I feel like I've just watched a horror movie and can't fall back to sleep. I never watch scary movies because I will dream about them for at least a month. Is there any thing I can do to stop them? or should I talk to someone?
Thanks everyone!!
Hi there,
Sorry to hear you're having such horrible nightmares!!
There are a few possible explanations for these. Nightmares can be caused by stress or post-traumatic stress or depression. Do you think you suffer from either of these? They can also be caused by certain medications – are you taking any pills for anything at the moment? And they can be caused by a Sleep Disorder of some kind.
Best thing to do would be to see your doctor and explain that you're suffering from nightmares and that it's interrupting your sleep. They might be able to refer you to a sleep specialist who could help, or perhaps provide you with some medication like sleeping pills if they're really bad, or refer to you a therapist or counsellor who can help you to work on your stress levels.
In the meantime, try to relax as much as possible in the evenings before bed. Get a really good bedtime routine and make it something that you look forward to. Watch a light-hearted comedy and then have a relaxing warm bath. You can buy something called pillow mist which is a scented spray you put on your pillow, usually lavender to relax you. Drink a bed-time hot tea like camomile. Make sure you go to sleep in a clean and comfortable room and make sure you're comfortable and at the right temperature. Nightmares can also be caused by being in an uncomfortable sleep position.
Good luck!!
PS also look at this website i think it has some good info on controlling your dreams by making them lucid dreams http://www.lucidity.com/EWLD10.html

Maynard Meyer
Maynard Meyer, or "Mr. Radio" as he is known in Madison, Minnesota, began his career in broadcasting in 1967 at KBMO radio in Benson, working as a part time announcer. Upon graduating from Moorhead State University with a degree in broadcast journalism, he took a full time job with Hedberg Broadcasting at KMRS in Morris where he is still remembered as "Meyer in the Morning."
In 1983, he and his long-time friend, Terry Overlander, put KLQP-FM on the air in Madison, a station that continues to be one of the only radio stations in Minnesota that remains locally owned. He operates the station as General Manager, engineer and host. He is at KLQP morning, noon and night, keeping listeners updated on local news, weather, and community activities. Maynard also provides engineering services to other area radio stations. Besides being "Mr. Radio," Maynard is involved in several activities around town. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, city council and serves on many boards. He helped revamp and volunteers his time at Grand Theatre, a great asset to a small town. Maynard Meyer's dedication to radio and serving the community have truly shaped the city of Madison, as well as much of western Minnesota, into what it is today.
