Weekly Round Up
With the launch of the new line Rapha has been in the news, or on the web quite a bit these days. A quick peruse down the lines of the Google Reader always turns up a few hits, but the big ones stand true.
Washingmachinepost has been unwavering in his accounts of the Cross Jersey and a breakdown of the Rouleur article on Tubular Tyres, or "tubs" as they call them. Issue 14 of Rouleur is worth checking out. I've seen artist Richard Mitchelson's illustrative renderings of "the Greatest Show on Earth" popping up on different websites (including the Washingmachinepost and Tracko), but you should actually check out his website. Richard Mitchelson Blog
Velodramatic is always up for some good coverage of the Rapha line as well. Check out his piece on the new Merino Jersey.
I know that he was doing a Best Buddies ride and all, but why wouldn't Michael get wrapped up in an Audi towel? I have come to only expect the best from him. Head over to his site and check out his Enigma road bike, and while your there, maybe check on the one that he helped procure for head designer Graeme Raeburn for the Cent Col Challenge.
What else?
Carey, over here at HQ recently recommended the H(y)er Collective for some good reading and a very eloquently designed website. Her eye for design wasn't wrong on either account. I'll help guide you through this one, at least to my favorite parts. First click on "Columns" and from there "I want that." The layout is simple and effective. I like that. And under "Playlist" anyone who lists J-Dilla is an ace in my book.
Pavé Pavé Pavé
If there is someone who SHOULD be narrating professional cycling, it would be this man. Whit Yost has been there, he has been in the trenches and knows how to talk about cycling. He does not waste time with photos as you will note, but read it, its all there. And something tells me, from meeting the guy, that he would not sound like he's reading off cards. He has been there, lived it and knows what he speaks of. Keep up the good work. His returning column Monday Musette is always a good way to start your week (note this is last Monday's Musette).
As we in the States gear up for a busy week at Interbike look for more coverage here during the show. They have two bike races that happen out there a Cyclocross race and a Crit, so there is bound to be some action happening.

Space center's new digital theater touts sharper filmsThe Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center has gone little to go big.
Visitors will no longer see large reels of film rolling behind glass-paned windows at the back of the IMAX theater - those have been traded in for state-of-the-art digital technology. It's a move that will save the Cosmosphere $100,000 annually in operating costs and will also increase clarity. The projection runs on 4K resolution - the highest resolution on a single projector. Chief projectionist Brian Shull is impressed with the result he's seen during test runs of the films. "Our goal has been to maintain and improve the image," he said. "We've improved on sharpness and clarity." The projection upgrade is part of a nearly $300,000 renovation plan for the new Carey Digital Dome Theater. It includes 114 chairs with cup holders, new carpeting and a new concession stand where the IMAX projector used to sit. The namesakes to each of the 114 chairs were sold for $250 each - which was about the price of each chair and the minimum amount of money for the buyer to receive tax credits. "We sold them all within a matter of weeks," said Becky Christner, marketing and public relations manager. "It was pretty amazing." Going digital The Carey Digital Dome Theater is the first to show digital film at a dome theater, Christner said. A custom lens was set up on the projector to fit the dome theater. The film company E&E Theater Services told the Cosmosphere there has been a lot of interest in setting up digital dome theaters, Shull said. The next theater will open within a month in Sioux Falls, S.D. "The company even has interest from out of the country," he said. Instead of hauling 250-pound reels of film for 45-minute documentaries shown at the theater, projectionists now just have to start the film, which is loaded into a computer from a two-pound cartridge. "It saves the back," Shull said with a smile. Digital technology also lets the Cosmosphere work with Hollywood movies, which were rarely put onto IMAX film. They are able to play any type of film like BluRay or a regular DVD. If needed, they would also be able to hook up cable television to the projector. "With this system, we can do almost anything," Shull said. But for now, they are sticking with documentaries. "It's been a learning curve to find out what works best," he said. "There are good things to come." Cutting-edge history Plans to make a digital theater at the Cosmosphere are part of its leading edge in film projection. Former director Max Ary signed a contract to lease an IMAX projector as the current building was being completed in 1979. It was the fifth theater in the world to have an Omnimax. The projector was $150,000 to lease and included a yearly royalty. Each film leased at about $25,000. "I feel the decision for us to put the Omnimax into the Cosmosphere was a big decision, if not bigger, than our decision to build the center," Ary told The News in June 1979. That reel was used for more than 10 years and the films became so popular that projectionists were forced to rewind the films immediately after each show, which stretched and damaged some films. In 1990, the Cosmosphere ordered a new $70,000 quick-turn film reel for the theater. In 1993, the reel was moved to the upper projection room to give projectionists more space to work. It was the projection unit seen at the back of the theater until renovations began in early September. On the last day of IMAX films, 344 people visited the theater to watch movies like "Air Racers," "Born to be Wild" and "Tornado Alley." "Tornado Alley" was the Cosmosphere's most popular film. New digital films Showing of the digital films will begin today with a soft opening. The concession stand is not yet ready, but projectionists have been hard at work to get the films ready to show. Front Desk Manager Kyla Gaston is excited for the public to see the new format. "It's going to be better than it was when it was IMAX," she said. "The new equipment will make it better, and they will still get the dome experience." "The Last Reef" plays at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. and 1, 3 and 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday. It takes viewers on an undersea journey through reefs with an abundance of lifelike jellyfish and manta rays. It explains the regeneration of reefs and the importance of their existence. "Flying Monsters" plays at noon and 2 and 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 2 and 4 p.m. Sunday. In the film, naturalist David Attenborough sets out to uncover the truth about pterosaurs, which had wingspans of up to 40 feet - equal to a modern-day jet, according to the film's website. Films at the Carey Digital Dome Theater are $8.50 for adults and $7.50 for children ages 4 through 12 and seniors age 60 and above.

Online Reservations
I dine at Fandango whenever I am in the Pacific Grove area. It always offers good food and a warm, inviting ambience. The manager gave us a quick personal tour of the restaurant because it was the first time my friends had eaten there ... they were impressed with the food, wine, ambience, friendliness ... the whole total experience.
Great food, ambience wonderful. Servers very knowledgable and proffesional, have been there many times and always consistently great. Table was ready at our reservation time. Highly recommend everything! Especially the grand marnier suffle. You won't be disappointed with your dining experience.
Good entree and wonderful dessert. Waitstaff good. We were there for lunch and it wasn't too busy. Excellent lunch special
The staff is so friendly, and the ambiance is wonderful. This is a place we'll go every time we're in the area-can't say enough about it; such a unique and lovely place to dine!
Fandango's is worth the trip... Delicious menu offerings, Sweet ambiance, Attentive yet unobtrusive staff. Locals know how wonderful this fine restaurant is and visitors to our beautiful area would be well advised to follow our lead!
Every year we go to the Monterey Jazz festival and we always make sure we have one dinner at Fandangos. It is always consistent and I can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience there in food, service or any other area. Thank you again!
We live on the Peninsula and have chosen Fandango's to celebrate special occasions for more than 20 years. Whenever we're in the Monterey Bay area we make it a point to have dinner there. What's not to love? The wine list is perfect; the food is prepared in the best possible way and we've never had a meal that was less than stellar. You can't miss with the Gran Marnier Souffle for dessert! The bar serves up great drinks and the atmosphere is wonderful. There's a fireplace in the main dining room (and hide away small eating areas, too); fresh flowers on every table (I'm talking bouquets); the decor is old world (arches, exposed stucco and such); open kitchen and so much more. Fandango's is a family tradition for us. We love it.
I enjoyed the ambience that the open grille gave as I sat at my table watching my food being cooked from across the seating area. The salmon filet I had was perfectly cooked and had plenty of sealed in juices and the escargots had excellent flavour although they were slightly tougher than I'm accustomed to having.
One of the nicest things about Fandango is all of the small dining areas. The food was very good with generous portions. And the service was outstanding with great teamwork between the waiter and the assistant. With the convenient location and ample parking this is a good place to go for lunch.
Large group seated quickly in a room just off a larger room. Perfect level of service, attentive, but not intrusive. Every entree was perfect and the desserts were spot on. The main dining room would be perfect for a romantic date. Fireplace at one end, exhibition kitchen.
Hadn't been here in a couple of years. Was delighted to find food, service, etc. unchanged. Still great. They have a lovely lunch menu which isn't always easy to find.
We have visited Fandango on several occasions, including 3 or 4 wedding anniversaries. We have never been disappointed and look forward to visiting Fandango again. The ambiance, food quality and service have ramained top-notch over many years. We highly recommend Fandango to anyone wishing to celebrate a special occasion.
My wife and I made reservations at Fandango for our much needed night out, without our kids. The atmosphere was very cozy and the service was excellent. As soon as we sat down our waiter introduced himself and took our drink orders. Without hesitation he offered to take our picture as he witnessed us awkwardly trying to do it ourselves. Our table was directly under a light which was making our pictures dark. He quickly jumped in moved our table and repositioned us, so that our picture captured us and laid witness to our amazing evening. It was a great gesture by the staff which made the evening a memorable experience. The food was fantastic with perfect portions. We will be visiting this location again, hopefully sooner than later.
Fandango is the gem in the Monterey/Pacific Grove area. The food selections, the food, exceptional service, and ambiance are simply outstanding!!
We married in Pacific Grove in October of 2013. We sought a nice place our rehearsal dinner group could go and dine. I chose Fandango's originally because I could reserve 18 with no deposit. I was shocked everyone else sought a huge deposit. Fandango's was no problem and we went right in. They have many other rooms for larger groups as well I saw. The staff and seating was excellent and very friendly. The food was excellent as well. If just a gathering or a night out for romance, this is a must stop for a fantastic and pleasurable evening.
Fandango is always a excellent restaurant. Ambience, food, and service are excellent.
We enjoyed a very nice dinner, having the lamb shank and paella. Portions were generous--enough leftovers for another meal! The grand marnier soufflé was especially wonderful.
Good food. Great staff. Impressive wine selection. Definitely would return.
I ate brunch there over the weekend. Although early, the staff allowed us to sit dow inside before the restaurant opened. The decor, while quaint, was very nice - linen table clothes, nice stemware, coffee served from a metal carafe rather than a thermal jug. The waiter and bus staff were the very best! Present and alert but not intrusive. Impeccable in their appearance. The menu provided plenty of options for Sunday Brunch from traditional breakfast items to heartier luncheon fare. Prices were well within reasonable limits. My eggs benedict with smoked salmon was around $12.00 and came with herbed potatoes and zucchini with a tasty tomato sauce. Rolls and butter served before our dishes arrived. High Marks for Fandangos!
Fandago is a great restaurant and crowd pleaser. The menu has something for everyone with all of the basics and some hard to find items like sweetbreads and liver and onions. They have outstanding French onion soup and a great rack of lamb. Every restaurant has a Ceasar Salad but there is something special about Fandago's that makes it stand out. The set-up has something for everyone as well. There are large rooms that handle groups and small little nooks perfect for a romantic dinner or even lunch. The service is professional and the owners are almost always onsite keeping a watchful eye on the smooth operation.
We always go to Fandango's on every visit to the Monterey area. Best calamari steak ever. Top lamb dishes in the area. Great atmosphere. Have held 60th anniversary family dinners here too. Highly recommend it.
Once again a wonderful experience. We had a group of 8 for a birthday lunch. The service and food was excellent. I have had dinner here also. Every time the service and food was excellent. This has become my favorite restaurant.
Fandango in Pacific Grove, Ca. has long been one of our favorite restaurants. Our recent meal there, if not the finest yet, was certainly as memorable as ever. Charming atmosphere, impeccable sevice, warm, friendly waitstaff, but the food is quite simply to die for. Try the scallops, the split pea soup, osso buco, any of their housemade pastas--try it all! Our only regret is that we live too far away to eat there at least once a week.
Nice service, tremendous food, good wine, fun dessert, and the best!
Food was great atmosphere quiet and servers where very nice. Will recommend to friends and family. Thanks fandango you helped my wife's bday memorable.
Over the 16 years I have been a PG resident, Fandango has been a special occasion restaurant. It never disappoints and the food is definitely the best in the area. Their luncheon menu is very reasonable and Fandango is a favorite destination for "ladies" day!
Our first visit on a personal recommendation. Attentive service. Greeted with scrumptious bread and dish of kalamata olives. Expansive menu and our meals were delicious. Excellent wine list. Had the sea scallops and my wife had the halibut...prepared perfectly. Suggest sitting in a back room; we were at an intersection which was busy the entire meal. Perfect ambiance and food for special occasion.......quite pricey.
Great place; food, people, and they treat everyone special.
Came here for a special dinner, we had the sea scallops as an appetizer, which was amazing. We shared the osso bucco and the rack of lamb. Both dishes were fantastic and highlighted the ingredients without making it seem overdone. The wine list was very extensive, but there was no sommelier to assist in a wine choice and our waiter, while very helpful, didn't know which wine we were trying to order, much less was he able to suggest one. Reservations are a must! The wait was 1.5 hrs without a reservation.
This was our 1st time here. We had a corner table with very good service. The food was cooked to the proper doneness, & nicely served. It was delicious. We had the salmon appetizer, onion soup, rack of lamb, and duck a la orange. They were served with mashed potatoes, and a cheese flavored broccoli. They traditionally serve the duck medium-well, but I changed it to medium and it was perfect. However I felt the orange sauce would have been better if it were slightly thickened so it would stick to the meat. Dessert was complimentary eclairs for our anniversary. The only thing that bothered me was a $21 corkage fee to serve our favorite wine, which seemed a bit high. Dinner for 2 with tax, corkage, and tip was $137.
This place is very nice and cozy. The lamb was cooked to perfection, but the Paella had very wet, mushy rice and the fish was overcooked.
This is probably the 6th or 7th time we have visited this restaurant; one of our favorites when going to Monterey. Food and service is always exceptional!!!
Fandango is a wonderful restaurant. Fantastic in every way. Service, food, wine list, the whole package. The owner checked in with us to inquire as to how we were doing. The service, food handlers, all top notch and well trained.
We went here after competing in the Big Sur 1/2 marathon. It was a prefect place for our post race celebration! Great service and outstanding food! Great find!
We had a wonderful experience at Fandangos! It was recommended to us by a relative as a must see if we were in the Monterey area. Service was awesome and so was the food and atmosphere!
Pacific Groves best restaurant by far. Stellar food, especially the paella and the lamb. Good value for llunch.
We are so grateful to have found this lovely gem in Pacific Grove where there are sooo many restaurant offerings! It was on Thanksgiving a limited menu but absolutely delicious! Served quickly and efficiently in a beautiful old-world setting!
I think they tried to hustle too many people in for the thanksgiving dinner, we were seated at a table between two entrance doors and people kept bumping into our chairs and the front door stayed open most of the dinner allowing cold air to blow through the eating area. Food was good, but came really fast.
We took our family to Thanksgiving dinner there and the food was wonderful. We sat upstairs and had a long table sufficient for our whole family. The waiters were good and easy going and quick to serve. The only small complaint we have is we felt the food portions should have been larger. The adults at the table all stated not quite enough food. However the quality and taste were excellent.
We booked in advance for Thanksgiving Dinner (We have eaten at Fandangos before but, never with a prix fix dinner menu) The Turkey was way over cooked and so dry that no amount of gravy worked to offset the dryness of the breast white meat...and there was no choice of dark meat. I told our waiter about our concerns and figured that would be that...but, to our surprise a female staff person came to our table and apologized for the problem with the meal and said that they would remove the charges for the two meals...which they did! It was all handled for well...but, it sure did ruin our Holiday meal. Cecil
My family and I have been celebrating Thanksgiving for many years at the Lodge at Pebble Beach. Over the years the tradition has really been the only thing bringing us back. The food is mediocre and entirely too expensive for what a normal person can consume. This year we thought we would try a different spot, still down close to Carmel, for Thanksgiving dinner. We were not disappointed. While the food was very tasty, portions were good sized, service was lovely and the ambience devine, the thing we most appreciated was the price actually fit what was served! We will definitely make this our NEW Thanksgiving tradition!
Lovely restaurant for romantic occasions, business meals, great atmosphere, and in a great location.
Fandango is a perennial favorite. Thanksgiving dinner is fantastic. At other times of the year, the paella or rack of lamb cannot be beat! Great restaurant for a romantic unforgettable evening. Pierre is a wonderful host.
We dined here while in Monterey area for our Thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed every bit of the evening. Food was awesome, serves was great, could not ask for a more delightful evening....We definitely will come back.....Thanks!
Fandango always serves delicious meals. They always use the highest quality meats and ingredients. Plus they have a fabulous wine list! Atmosphere is cozy with acceptable noise level so conversation is easy. One of our favorite go-to places on Monterey peninsula.
This is one of our favorites places to go for dinner - food and service are always excellent and consistent. We decided to try it for Thanksgiving as the menu seemed interesting. A great choice and of the two of us - one had the steak (excellent and full of flavor) and the other had Tortellini (yes, on Thanksgiving and it was great). The Kitchen at Fandango's always gets the veggies just right - just a tad beyond al dente and the pasta was amazing - light and seasoned perfectly. If I had a complaint at all, it's that the whipped cream on the Profiterole was not the hand-whipped kind, but rather through the charger can or spray. It's always been like that, so I just avoid it. The desserts are really good, however.
We go at least once every time we're in the Pacific Grove/Carmel area. Basic dishes extremely well done with fantastic service.
It may have been our first time, but we will definitely be back. The food was excellent. Undoubtedly the best calamari steak I have ever eaten. The sanddabs and scallops were very good. All four of us could not stop saying how great the food was. The salads and desserts were just right. We highly recommend Fandango and look forward to many future dinners there.
I have dined here many times over the decades it's been open. It never has been a disappointment. Probably my favorite on the Monterey Peninsula. Lamp chops are the best I've EVER had!
Fandango was close to our Bed & Breakfast and had high ratings on Open Table so we decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was cozy and romantic. We both had steaks and they were superb! The rest of the food was also great. The service was perfect. Fandango will be our new go to restaurant for fine dining in the Pacific Grove/Monterey area!

Scarface (1932)
Most people know the 80s version with Al Pacino, which is mainly great because of Pacino and of how he performed the character Tony Montana. But the 30s version has it all. The looks (plays in the 20s), the language, the music and Paul Muni as Tony Camonte. It's an almost perfect mob film. No, actually it's perfect!
The actual gangster that the film is based on is Al Capone.
Big Louis Costillo, last of the old-style gang leaders is slain, and his former bodyguard Tony Camonte is taken into custody. Since Costillo's body has never been found, the police have to release him, though they strongly suspect Johnny Lovo paid Tony to remove Big Louis. Tony begins taking over the rackets in town with violent enforcement, and he becomes a threat to Johnny and the other bosses unless they work for Tony. Meanwhile, Tony's sister wants to be more independent, but finds it difficult to escape from her brother's overprotective grasp. The dissatisfaction of the other bosses and the relentless pursuit of the police push Tony towards a major confrontation.

There is a recognized convergence of technologies by industry analysts and practitioners creating the opportunity for a new federated architecture model. Gartner identified this as a 'Nexus of Forces', while IDC is calling it the 3rd Platform. At The Open Group, we are referring to the convergence as Open Platform 3.0 |
What is Open Platform 3.0™?
Open Platform 3.0™ is broadly centered around four to six technology trends converging on each other to form new business models and system designs.
These themes include:
- mobility
- social networks and social enterprise
- big data
- cloud computing
- devices
- and application architectures
These convergent forces – united by the growing consumerization of technology and the resulting evolution in user behavior – offer the potential to create new business models and system designs. However, they also pose architectural issues and structural considerations which will need to be overcome in order for businesses to benefit.
The Open Platform 3.0™ Forum [1] will advance The Open Group vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™ by helping organizations take advantage of the convergence of a number of modern technologies.

Supporting the government's healthcare reform efforts should be a no-brainer if you're a woman. That's according to Marcia Greenberger, copresident of the National Women's Law Center, who testified at a Senate hearing last week that the health insurance industry is rife with "unfair and discriminatory practices...including gender rating, the exclusion of healthcare services that only women need, and pre-existing-condition denials." For instance, women can be denied insurance if they've ever had a cesarean section or been the victim of domestic violence, she said. The NWLC today posted on its website this video, in which women declare that they, as females, are "not a pre-existing condition."
Greenberger and her colleagues are fighting for the final healthcare bill to right what they see as some very serious wrongs. A new NWLC report, which examined the most popular insurance plans in every state, found:
- A whopping 95 percent of insurance companies charge women more than men for the same coverage for individual policies. For 60 percent of plans, a 40-year-old female who doesn't smoke will pay more for her policy than a 40-year-old male who does smoke.
- Some 25-year-old women are charged up to 84 percent more than men of the same age for individual health plans that exclude maternity coverage.
- Gender rating of premiums also occurs in group plans provided by employers. Insurance companies in most states are allowed to charge a business more for coverage of its female employees. Those with a predominantly female workforce, like firms that employ home health aides, often get hit with superhigh costs that get passed on to employees in the form of higher contributions. Or these companies may buy plans that cover less or offer no coverage at all.
Women get charged more, Greenberger tells me, because they see doctors more often than men do—at least before age 55. "While some companies do charge men more from ages 55 to 65, at which point Medicare kicks in, others continue to charge women more or just give very small price breaks," she says. And, no, maternity care doesn't add to the costs because the vast majority of individual plans don't provide it or provide it only as an expensive rider. "It's inadequate and prohibitively expensive," says Greenberger, who is lobbying Congress to include mandatory coverage as part of health reform. She'd also like to see contraception and Pap smears covered as part of the preventive health package in the reform bill. The House bill and two different Senate versions all include some components of this, but she's worried they could fall out of the final version sent to the president to sign.
The insurance industry, however, says it also supports fixing this problem. Karen Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans, told senators—at the same health committee hearing where Greenberger testified—that her organization supports the elimination of "rating based on gender and health status." She added that "prohibiting premium variation based on gender is a critically important step towards providing security and peace of mind to women." AHIP spokesperson Robert Zirkelbach told me yesterday that, while premium disparities are simply based on expected healthcare costs, his group is against gender rating and also supports better maternity coverage as well as coverage for Pap smears, contraception, and other preventive health services and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. (Of course, this is the same group that's trying to put the kibosh on current legislative proposals—but I won't quibble.)
Reproductive rights groups, like Planned Parenthood, have been launching offensives this week to ignite a little activism. This new website from NWLC tells you how to send a message to your representative. "We're trying to alert women to their stake in health reform," Greenberger says, and to encourage them to make their opinions known to Congress.
The last time I spoke with Greenberger, she had just attended the March White House healthcare summit, a pep rally of sorts accentuating the positive. She was very optimistic at that time. I asked her if she's now feeling the same. "In some ways it's been surprising," she says. "I didn't expect the kind of vitriolic emotion that was seen at some of the town hall meetings." Abortion, too, has become a prickly point as she and others fight not to expand coverage but to keep current coverage from being taken away.
But Greenberger, who also worked on the Clinton health reform bill, says she has been maintaining her positive attitude that legislation benefiting women will pass. "It's been energizing. The fact that we now have versions being considered in the House and Senate is further than the country has ever gone."
Check it out: Self magazine just posted its healthiest cities for women survey. The report even broke the results down by cities with the fewest sexually transmitted diseases and fewest number of Pap smears. AOL's That's Fit blog tells you how celebrities get back in shape after having a baby. The New York Times has a harrowing piece about a healthy pregnant woman suddenly hospitalized with swine flu, making a strong case for why pregnant women need to get vaccinated.

Preventing dementia
Exercise for brain health
Exercise has shown positive effects in brain functioning with accumulating evidence that memory and learning can improve with regular physical activity. This is especially relevant for studies looking into various strains of dementia. |
For more information, see Exercise for Brain Health.
Nutrition and brain health
The effect of certain foods on brain development, mood disorders, cognition (thinking), disease states and aging has promised to be an essential area of research, development, non-pharmacological treatment and preventative measures. |
For more information, see Nutrition and Brain Health.
Effects of mental activity on health
The protective, emotional, physical, psychological and neurological effects of stimulating the mind are widespread. Mental activity increases the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the brain. |
For more information, see Effects of Mental Activity on Health.
Memory loss
Memory loss is a symptom where a person experiences an abnormal level of forgetfulness and inability to recall past events in their life. This usually is a consequence of damage to the brain that may have been caused by disease, injury or excessive emotional stress. Not all memory problems signify dementia or Alzheimer's disease – memory impairment can be caused by many medical conditions. |

Dementia affects about 160,000 Australians. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 50–75% of cases. It occurs most commonly in the elderly. Progressive deterioration in cognitive function, memory loss and behavioural changes occurrs in the early stages. |
For more information, see Alzheimer's Disease.
Vascular dementia (multi-infarct dementia)
Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia. In vascular dementia, very small blood vessels are blocked, resulting in the death of small areas of brain tissue on the cerebral cortex. As this area is responsible for higher thought processes, small areas of damage result in the disordered thought seen in vascular dementia. |
For more information, see Vascular Dementia (Multi-Infarct Dementia).
Lewy body dementia
Dementia with Lewy bodies, the third most frequent cause of dementia in older adults, is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with abnormal structures (Lewy bodies) found in certain areas of the brain. In addition to dementia, patients with Lewy body dementia experience hallucinations, motor impairment, and fluctuating alertness. |
For more information, see Lewy Body Dementia.
Frontotemporal dementia (Pick's disease)
Frontotemporal dementia (Pick's disease) is a form of dementia characterised by gradually worsening decline of mental abilities, often affecting a person's ability to use and understand spoken and written language. It makes up about 2–3% of all cases of dementia. |

Information for carers of dementia patients
As an individual's dementia worsens, he or she will need more care and assistance. Consequently, many people with dementia live in professional aged care facilities. If you are caring for someone with dementia, you may find these tips useful. |
For more information, see Information for Carers of Dementia Patients.
Transition of patients with dementia into an aged care home
As dementia progresses, so too does the level of assistance a loved one requires. Placement into an aged care home is often necessary. The decision to place a loved one with dementia into an aged care home is one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. It is a life event of enormous significance. |

The Athabasca Oil Sands cover a territory of 45,000 square kilometers. After more than 40 years of development - the Energy industry has disturbed less than 200 square kilometers. Canada has an outstranding record of clean energy - very few coal burning afacilities left, Nuclear and Hydro energy in abundance and over the years, cleaner Natural Gas has replaced oil. Obama COULD make a responsible decision - in exchange for accepting more oil from Canada - he should compensate by making a commitment to reduce The US dependency on coal - the dirtiest of fuels that powers half of US industry.
'The Tar Sands Disaster': Canadians Against Keystone XL, in The New York Times
"If President Obama blocks the Keystone XL pipeline once and for all, he'll do Canada a favor," writes Thomas Homer-Dixon, an international affairs instructor at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Ontario.
This is the opening salvo in an opinion piece in today's New York Times that points out the problems inherent in more oil-pipeline production and highlights the portion of Canada's citizens who do not support the pipeline.
"Canadians don't universally support construction of the pipeline," he writes, citing a February 2012 poll by Nanos Research in which 42 percent of Canadians indicated they do not want Keystone XL and other pipelines under review to be built. "Many of us, in fact, want to see the tar sands industry wound down and eventually stopped, even though it pumps tens of billions of dollars annually into our economy."
Homer-Dixon goes on to describe why that is so, calling bitumen "junk energy" because of its yield versus what it takes to extract the viscous compound; the wanton destruction of boreal forest that extraction entails, and the fact that "the process generates significantly more carbon dioxide than conventional oil production."
He is not the only one to discuss Canadian opposition to further oil sands development and the Keystone XL pipeline through the United States. Canada's Green Party leader, Elizabeth May, traveled to Washington D.C. to voice Canadians' opposition as well.
President Barack Obama is mulling over the decision as the U.S. State Department evaluates comments from the public over its draft environmental report. The public comment period ends on April 15.
Read "The Tar Sands Disaster."
I agree with this article.
I agree with this article. Well done Mr. Homer-Dixon! Here in Waterloo Ontario I have participated in dozens of rallies against the Keystone pipeline and Enbridge Line 9. Folks come out for many reasons. Many are worried about climate change, others worried that Canada is liquidating a resource we'll need without reasonably forming a long term National Energy Strategy with the provinces. Unions are worried we're loosing jobs sending refining processes over seas and Aboriginal communities are concerned for health and well being of people living on reserves by the Tar Sands and next door to oil refineries. So many sectors rely on oil but in the age of climate change and global fiscal insecurity, renewables provides us with more stable market prices using localized energy solutions. It's a better investment for climate and economic resilience. Personally speaking, I believe people have the ability to move beyond a 100 year old technology for energy. Renewables are do-able and we should absolutely do our part and keep up with the global trend to go fossil free. It is the way of the future.
It's interesting that the
It's interesting that the article suggests that many Canadians are against the Keystone pipeline thought the opinion is solely from a single educator that is most-likely against oil anyway. The oddity is that the Keystone Pipeline would reduce the need for exploring the Tar Sands approach. Then, there is a suggestion that it "adds more CO2" - where is it coming from? Wood, that has a high CO2 concentration is encouraged to burn - justified by saying that it's a neutral, meaning that it's going to give off all of it's CO2 across time, so why not burn it all at once? They say if we do, it's still neutral. Oil has CO2 (as all organic compounds likely do) and burning oil won't produce any more CO2 than what the oil has already in it - just like the wood. The same can be said of Coal - whose majority component is Carbon (the earth supposedly is 90% Carbon). We are even about 18% carbon, which is why we - and every living creature exhales CO2. Yes - we do. All vegetation produces it. The oceans and bodies of water release it. Volcanoes release it. And the greatest benefactor of all is the plant-live that consumes that CO2, locks it up into it's structure, and in turn provides oxygen. It's even being demonstrated that higher concentrations of CO2 may be beneficial to plant-life, and as plant-life improves, so does the output of oxygen, which benefits us.
CO2 is not an enemy. If it is, then over 6-billion of us CO2 exhausters need to reduce the amount of air we breath, because it's apparently contributing to killing the earth (that goes for animals too!)

The other day at lunch we had a discussion about Sci- Fi shows and we were discussing the different Captains or leaders that had great character and exuded leadership skills. As we were discussing some of the characters it became apparent that there were a whole range of skills and abilities in different leaders that lead me to form the question: If I could choose a Captain/Leader for my Sci-Fi Battle Ship, Which character would be the best choice?
Included here are a list of Characters with a brief synopsis of their key strengths. It would be interesting to see peoples responses or additions. I also wanted to include a list of not just the Heros but also the anti-heros (eg. Darth Vader) Maybe I will save that for another entry…
So without further build up here is a list I complied I'm sure you will see ones you haven't ever seen or haven't thought about in years:
Dr. John Robinson - Lost in Space (original series) One of the original models for the Captain role! Dr. Robinson is commander, a pilot, and the father of the Robinson children. He is an astrophysicist who also specializes in applied planetary geology. He can also throw a good punch when needed to a pesky alien. Who else could navigate his lost family back home while dealing with all the problems caused by Dr. Zachery Smith. Why the Robinson's didn't just leave him on the first planet they could I'm not sure.
Capt. James Tiberius Kirk – Star Trek Captain of the USS Enterprise, space explorer, alien chick magnet, and pretty good with a sword or a phaser. He is Errol Flynn of Space. He's Kirk, and he's survived countless battles and alien encounters (not to mention alien STD's I'm sure) . Kind of the prototype Capt, Kirk was the bar for which all Star Trek Captains to come would be measured by and also influenced more than a couple of the roles listed her in the list. He battled Klingons, and saved whales for Earth…Not sure how he would have done against the Borg though…
Professor John Robinson – Lost in Space (1998 movie) William Hurts' version of Professor Robinson is a bit different. He has a edgier disposition than the original. In the updated Lost movie we have some better effects and more suspense than the original. Gary Oldman nails the Dr. Smith character though, to hamper the Robinson family and gives Professor Robinson all he can handle.
Captain Lee Crane – Voyage to the bottom of the Sea. Captain of the Seaview. While Admiral Nelson called a lot of the shots it was Crane that was the muscle for the show. Identified as Star Trek but with fish The Seaview and her crew are harassed by aliens sea monsters and even Dinosaurs. Its Capt Crane that holds it all together to save the world!
Capt. Nathan Bridger – SeaQuest DSV Captain of the Seaquest its kind of a mix Sgt Brody from Jaws and a bit of Jack O'Neill from SG1. In what seems to be a updated version of Voyage to the bottom of the sea Bridger (for the first two seasons) commands the SeaQuest and doesn't take much flack from the crew or his superiors. Interestingly Bridger (Scheider) is replaced in season 3 by Capt Oliver Hudson played by (Michael Ironside) whom appears below in another role…
Capt. Jeffery Sinclair – Babalyon 5- I mean what can you say about a guy who isn't just the reincarnation of the Minbari leader and Hero (Valen) but actually the genuine article who traveled back in time 1000 years to become the hero and stop the Shadows. I mean willing to ram a ship after your fighter is disabled is pretty gutsy!
John Sheridan – Babylon 5- Filling Sinclair's shoes was not easy but Sheridan proved to be up to the task. He wasn't afraid to get dirty. Dealing with Vorlons and Shadows as well as the Psi Corps was quite an achievement. He also had the Kirk-like distinction of xeno-relations, how can you not like this guy? He is strong and gritty and a long way from his Scarecrow and Ms. King role.
Capt William Anthony "Buck" Rogers – Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Buck is frozen for 500 years and then thrust into the 25th century, (this is apparently a popular beginning for sci fi shows). He adapts surprisingly well to a completely foreign technically advanced future. While he doesn't face the Alien encounter as his nemesis, Buck working for the Earth Defense Directorate, has his hands full with Princess Ardala and her Henchman Kane as they try to take over the earth. While missing the special effects of later shows, and having some dorky side kicks like Twiki the robot, this Buck still has enough of the pep seen in the old comic strip to save the day, I just wish he would have bagged Colonel Wilma Deering (Erin Gray was hot back then).
William Adama- Battle Star Galactica (New BSG series Edward James Olmos) A darker more brooding Adama is the leader of the Galactica and leads the rag tag group across the universe with Nasty Cylons in chase. His gravelly voice and rough demeanor make him someone you don't want to piss off. The guy jumped his battlestar into the atmosphere of New Caprica to launch his fighters and then takes on a fleet of Cylon basestars. That guy has quite a fraking set!
Commander Adama – Battle Star Galactica (old BSG series Lorne Green) – He was as much a politician as a military commander. Adama is a fair and beloved leader, with almost unquestioned authority. He is a deeply religious man who is shepherding the refugees to Earth. A different character when compared to the new BSG series Adama. More political and religious he matches the new Adama in accomplishment, just in a different way. Kind of a kinder gentler type but don't piss him off!
Han Solo- Star Wars Han Solo is a superb smuggler with a wry wit, skepticism, a reckless disposition, and technological savvy who pilots the Millennium Falcon along with his Wookiee copilot Chewbacca. Lucas describes him as "a loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good." Joss Whedon credits the Falcon as one of the inspirations for the Firefly ship and also Malcom's character. The Scene with Greedo I think sums up his ability to get out of a tight spot. Besides I wouldn't want to follow Luke down a lighted street at this stage of the story! Much rather buckle in the the Falcon to shoot down tie fighters.
Commander John Koenig – Space 1999 Leader of Moonbase Alpha Commander Koenig. Thrust into the role of leading a group of people riding on what is left of the Moon that was ejected into space after a nuclear explosion. Koenig is moody and gruff but he makes the decisions he has to. He battles aliens, asteroids, and robots oh my!
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard – Star Trek The Next Generation Much was said about Capt. Picard being able to fill Kirk's shoes in the new series. It didn't take long before the new crew and new Capt carved out their own place in Star Trek Lore. I mean he has a Maneuver named after him (the Picard Maneuver) , Not to mention he was assimilated into the Borg and lived to tell about it! He also had his share of ladies to rival Kirk and his crew wasn't too bad at womanizing either…very much in the vein of classic Star Trek.
Colonel Jack O'Neill - Stargate SG1O'Neill of the series is much more flexible and different than the Movie O'Neil (played by Kurt Russell). This Jack is much cooler headed and much more Intelligent. This Jack has more than just some displaced Egyptians and a single Alien to fight against. Having the Goa Uld to contend with and 24 other teams of Stargate teams Colonel O'Neill had to handle plenty of issues as he explores the galaxy (he just doesn't have a space ship to do it in).
Captain Dylan Hunt – Andromeda Dylan Hunt is the Captain of the Andromeda Ascendant with a strangely familiar story of being Frozen for 300 years (on the edge of a black hole) and then waking up to a completely foreign world to the one he knew. Stop me if this sounds all to Buck Rogers familiar… Of course getting none other than Hercules himself (Kevin Sorbo) to play the captain role evokes much power. Capt Hunt leads a rag tag group of salvagers to try to rebuild the Commonwealth and restore order to the Universe…not a short order to tackle!
Cmdr John Crichton - Farscape Farscape was yet another strangely similar in story to being a Buck Rogers remake but way better…add in the muppet puppets and a better story. John Crichton has some serious struggles adapting to his new future after pissing off a very powerful alien force. John is more of a leader running for his life than an captain but as the series unfolds he develops into a strong leader that has to make civilization altering decisions and becomes a strong battle commander.
Malcom "Mal" Reynolds – Firefly Mal is the Capt of the Serenity and its renegade crew. A veteran of the war he now wants to put that behind him and live free on the Firefly. Living a bit outside of the law though he finds plenty of problems with the authorities and it seems his War past is usually behind the problems he finds. Unlike a lot of the other captains, Mal often gets his hands dirty and he also doesn't have the best weapons or firepower he needs. He also keeps you guessing about his thoughts never quite know what direction he is going to go.
Capt. Kathryn Janeway – Star Trek Voyager Janeway is another unique SciFi minority being a female Captain of a starship. Propelled 70k light years into the Delta Quadrant she is all alone with her crew trying to get home. Janeway's style is aggressive and she makes the tough choices, but she has a less strict compliance to the prime directive. She uses to Borg to help get her crew home in a gutsy maneuver, which ends up earning her the rank of vice admiral who gives Picard orders in the Nemisis movie. Hows that for bolding going where no Picard has gone before…?!?
Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen - Space above and beyond With quite a few characters in this short lived space marine story TC seems to jump out as the leader although not the main character. He helps lead his group of pilots the "Wildcards" against the Chigs. TC is a bad ass who is in the fight to the bitter end.
Sgt. Al Apone - Aliens The Hardass Drill Sergent in command of the Space Marines sent to check out the disappearance of colonists. From his loud growl to his "I love the Corps" one liners, to the cigar hanging out of his mouth, he is pure confidence and control. Seeing the other higher level people in charge it doesn't take long to realize that Apone is the best guy for the job of cleaning up Aliens! Not sure if any of the captains on this list have delt with anything as nasty as the Aliens.
Capt. Jonathan Archer – Star Trek Enterprise Archer is yet another different style Star Trek Captain. Being set in the role before Kirk at the dawning of space travel he commands the NCC-1701 (without a letter prefix). He has to blaze new trails and break in much new technology that we know comes later. He is a diplomat, Military leader, explorer and you get to see the various transformations. He's much less perfect that other Star Trek captains and in his struggle against the Xindi he becomes almost desperate and even morally questionable, of course with the future of Earth on the line it doesn't seem unjustified.
Johnny Rico – Starship Troopers Its not often do you get to see a hero rise up from cadet to a leader in a time span but by the end of the movie you know that Johnny Rico has become a true leader. Having endured losing his family on Earth, losing his Girl Friend, Johnny has a serious case of I want to kick some Bug Butt. He struggles as a new recruit but quickly climbs the ranks to become an officer. Another one of those get his hands dirty leaders!
Capt. Benjamin Sisko – Star Trek Deep Space Nine Captain Sisko was a different captain than Picard. The commanding officer of the station Deep Space Nine. One of the few African American captains portrayed, he discovers the Bajoran Wormhole and becomes the emissary of the prophets. Interestingly he has a extreme dislike of Picard due to a small issue with Picard being responsible for the death of his wife… Boy some people really know how to hold a grudge!
Lt. Jean Rasczak – Starship Troopers The Veteran, turned drill sergeant, turned active soldier. How can you not like this guy. I think him and Apone from Aliens would be a kick ass fighting force together. While Rico is taking the glory its Lt. Rasczak that takes names and kicks butts. Again you can't go wrong with Michael Ironside. Just having him on the show gives a feeling of strength.
So there is the list. I'm sure there are quite a few others might feel were left out but there are enough here I'm sure to spawn some good conversation, even if it is just to trigger the old memory about an old sci-fi series.
Someone mentioned Lexx, I did watch it and thought about including either Stanley Tweedle, but he is probably not a great leader…I did think about Kai as he is a strong character…but he is dead so that makes kind of strange.
