Dementia In Europe Magazine - Issue 3 (2009)
Alongside the regular features in our magazine, issue 3 has an interview with Androulla Vassiliou, the European Health Commissioner, who talks about the work already carried out by the European Commission, as well as future plans to address Alzheimer's disease. The role that the Czech European Presidency can play in helping to combat Alzheimer's disease is highlighted by the Czech Health Minister, Daniela Filipová. There is a special section dedicated to several Members of the European Parliament who evaluated the achievements that the 2004-2009 European Parliament had had which could benefit people with Alzheimer's disease and their carers. The MEPs also spoke of their hopes for the forthcoming Parliamentary session 2009-2014. Updates were given too on the recently released European prevalence rates of dementia, the legal rights of people with demetia and their carers in Norway, the situation for people with dementia in Greece as well as a summary of the newly launched English Dementia Strategy. Issue 3 also has the first of a new series of articles "living with dementia".

After winning a national dance competition at 13, JC Chasez earned a spot on "The Mickey Mouse Club," which is where he first met future bandmate Justin Timberlake. He became one of the five members of mega-popular boy band 'N Sync in 1996. After making a splash in Europe's pop scene, the group brought their self-titled debut with singles "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart" to America and America fell hard. Their next album No Strings Attached was the best-selling album of 2000 and contained the Grammy-nominated "Bye Bye Bye." After selling more than 40 million CDs worldwide and releasing their fourth album Celebrity in 2001, the quintet split up. Chasez released his first solo project, Schizophrenic, in 2004. The first single "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" enjoyed some chart success thanks to its inclusion on the "Drumline" soundtrack and accompanying video featuring his then girlfriend Tara Reid and his mullet experiment. But he has spent the years since 'N Sync disbanded writing songs for other acts including the Backstreet Boys and David Archuleta as well as judging several seasons of "America's Best Dance Crew" on MTV. In 2013, Eva Longoria's ex announced he's assembling an all-female group, Girl Radical.

Amtrak to use Apple's iPhone as ticket scanner
Even the time-honored tradition of hole-punched train tickets is subject to Apple's wave of change. A program that began its training last November for a few select Amtrak routes will expand to include 1,700 train conductors across the country by late summer, according to the New York Times.
The new, iPhone-based system will allow Amtrak customers to print tickets or access a special bar code that conductors will be able to scan. On the back end, conductors will be able to keep track of the passengers on board much easier than with the hole-punch system.… Read more

Roxy Geneva Boot 1 1
Geneva Boot I just received my boots this afternoon. They're a little shorter than I expected, but I'm not too bothered by this due to the quality of the boot. I haven't broken them in yet, so I am not sure how comfortable they will be, but they are super soft inside and seem to be very warm. They have a thick rubber sole which should hold up in snowy weather. I am curious to see how the traction stands against ice. Overall, my first impression of the boot has left me quite satisfied.

I'm in the process of supervising a VB.NET development project and am trying to set up version control. My team has experience with SVN so we were hoping to use that -- at least internally. There are a couple of issues afloat here so I would appreciate any comments you folks might have.
One dev had suggested this for a server:
I was rather hoping instead to set up SVN via apache on my linux box here rather than installing apache on my windows box and burdening it with yet one more duty.
It interfaces with a Visual Studio plugin client that is $79:
Does anyone know if the visualsvn client interfaces with linux svn/apache?
Note that the client expects to use Team Foundation Server, a Microsoft product, and seems pretty set in their decision. Do we think it will be possible for us to use our own version control different from that of the client? I'm skeptical -- it sort of assumes some golden, age-of-aquarius cutoff date where we export from our version control into theirs and they take over. That sounds like a fantasy to me. TF Server is $500, but it might be worth it in the long run.

Rob Irving is the creator of Car Starter, the WP dashboard application for drivers that took top place in Mini Mission 4, which challenged developers to add elements from Nokia Music (now Nokia MixRadio) to their existing apps. We had a chat with Rob to find out more…
Tell us a little about yourself. Who are you and what do you do?
When I'm not working on my Windows Phone apps on nights and weekends, I'm actually doing more mobile development for my full time job. I'm a Senior Software Engineer for ALK Technologies where I work on CoPilot GPS.
How did you get into developing?
I studied Computer Engineering in college and always found the Computer Science classes the most interesting during my studies, so when I graduated I pursued a career in software development.
Tell us a little about your winning app. What does Car Starter do?
Car Starter is a 'dashboard app' — it has a driver-friendly UI to access key features from your phone while you're behind the wheel. The most notable features of the app are voice commands that allow you to play music from your Xbox music library or Nokia Mixes!
How did you decide on this idea? What inspired it?
I have a long commute to work so I listen to a lot of music and podcasts while I'm driving. I wanted an easier way to start playing some music when the podcast I was listening to finished halfway through my drive.
Tell us about the Music update that you did for the Mini Mission. What inspired that?
To support Nokia Music in Car Starter I use the Nokia Music REST API to pull down a list of top artists. I use the list of top artists to train the Windows Phone speech recognizer to listen for new voice commands.
When you then issue a command, for instance "Play Queens of the Stone Age Mix," Car Starter will launch the Nokia Music app and start up a mix of tracks by Queens of the Stone Age.
When I first released the app, the music voice commands could only be used to play music stored on the phone's Xbox music library. I actually had a lot of users asking me to add support for Nokia Music so this update was a no-brainer for me!
How are you finding the Nokia Create contest so far?
I love the Nokia Create contest! I think it's a great way to draw attention to all of the Nokia Windows Phone APIs and inspire developers to be creative with them.
You are now a finalist for the Grand Prize. Which of those prizes are you most excited about?
Going to Barcelona for MWC would be amazing! My wife and I have not been able to go on a real vacation since our honeymoon 6 years ago, so a trip to Barcelona for two would be perfect.
Did you enter any of the other Nokia Create Missions?
After making some UI changes to better support large screen devices like the Lumia 1520 and localizing the app to more languages, I've also submitted Car Starter to Mini Missions 5 and 6. Fingers crossed!
Why did you choose Windows Phone?
I've always been a fan of Microsoft technologies. As a developer I love Visual Studio and as a consumer I'm a fan of Xbox and Zune.
One dev tool you couldn't live without?
Visual Studio. I could not imagine doing my job without it.
Although submissions to Nokia Create Mini Missions are now closed, developers can still enter their apps to our Do Good Mission and Master Missions to be in with a chance at winning amazing prizes that will help you and your apps stand out, including trips to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, DVLUP XPs, promotions and much more. For more details, click here, and get those entries published by December 15th!

By Greg Johnson
An LLC tasked with overseeing men's basketball officiating has developed a plan to address on-court sportsmanship and behavior of coaches and players in an effort to elevate the image of the sport and positively impact game environment.
The Men's College Basketball Officiating Competition Committee's plan was shared with the Division I Leadership Council on Thursday and the Playing Rules Oversight Panel the previous day. PROP is asking that all rules committees take a similar look at ways to improve the image of their respective sports.
Committee members hope to have the plan reviewed and supported by a wide constituency that includes NCAA presidents, conference commissioners, athletics directors, coaches, players and officials before implementation.
Committee members believe the current environment of Division I men's basketball is eroding and hurting the image of the game. The committee believes NCAA competitions should be conducted with behavior typically associated with higher education.
The committee hopes to collaborate with the men's basketball rules committee to specify clear, enforceable rules and directives for how officials should call unsportsmanlike conduct.
Committee members recognize most Division I men's college basketball coaches behave respectfully. However, a few coaches create negative images for college basketball due to their behavior toward officials and their own players.
Committee members want to make sure that student-athletes control their actions toward officials, other players and fans.
The committee knows there must be complete buy-in from all stakeholders, including presidents, for officials to make calls without worrying about being criticized.
Some concepts being discussed include having automatic triggers for things such as:
If the committee achieves the buy-in from key constituents, it hopes to implement the plan beginning with the 2012-13 season.

Loading... A Confederacy of Dunces (original 1980; edition 1987)by John Kennedy Toole, Walker Percy (Foreword)
Work detailsA Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (1980)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I was hoping this was going to be funnier than it was. It's a satirical look at the USAnian way of life through the eyes of one of the great characters of American fiction: Ignatius J. Reilly. He's a pretty nasty piece of work, totally self-absorbed and living in an unreality enitrely of his own creation. I didn't find Ignatius particularly endearing. Neither did I find him entirely repulsive. There's no doubt that society in the early 1960s was pretty messed up (as it always is), and Toole does a good job of creating messed-up characters who represent the worst of this. I rated it more highly than I appreciated it because it is, after all, an important book in the US literary canon. There's no doubt that Toole, whose novel was published over a decade after his suicide, has created memorable characters. But I didn't really get the point of what Toole was trying to communicate through his creations. Is this a satire, or a farce, or a detective spoof, or all of the above or what? So, about halfway through, I gave up trying to figure it out and just read it as a story. I think it lost some of its lustre then and seemed to kind of peter out towards the end in which loose ends tied up in fairly predictable ways. But, if you are after a good description of 1960s New Orleans, I can't recommend a better book. I believe that this is the funniest book I've ever read. Ignatius is a truly memorable character, and New Orleans the perfect setting for this wonderful novel. I hope they're still selling Lucky Dogs in the French Quarter. Every once and a while I read a book because I'm supposed to, whether because it won the Pulitzer or Nobel or Booker, or some other prestigious prize, or it's just old enough to have been granted "classic" status. Usually, the book turns out to be just as good, or at least just as notable, as it is supposed to be. With "Confederacy of Dunces," though, I've found that I'm at a loss. I don't know what to think about it, let alone what I'm supposed to think about it. There's no doubt that it's brilliant. From the first sentence ("A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head."), the pages drip with colorful language, signs of a masterful command of the English language. Witty, cynical, sarcastic, and, again, witty, the writing is a delight to read. But what is it? Is it satire? Is it comedy? I admit, as soon as I finish here I'm going to go pick up a literary review or two by someone who knows what they're talking about, someone who can tell me what the book means. Because, like driving by a really bad multivehicle accident, at first glance it's not clear what's going on or how it happened. And, when were watching the dunces that are the main characters, it's hard not to see it as a car accident about to happen, or happening. Or rather, what it means, what the commentary is, on race, on gays, on the sixties, on New Orleans...or if it's even commentary at all. At the very least, or perhaps most, the book made me laugh, smile and cringe, sometimes all at once. Why exactly it won the Pulitzer I couldn't say, but it was worth the read. In some ways, I'd describe Ignatius as a New Orleans' "Tom Sawyer." He almost defies description. I'm totally taken with the quintessential New Orleans characters. I enjoy it so much I read it every January and it gets funnier as I relate more and more to New Orleans after 23 years. Yes there are some passages that I find tedious but it is filled with so much delight I enjoy it more with each reading. It may just be a New Orleans thing for some of us. Well, I respect the writing and the comedic intent, but I guess it was just a little lost on me. It was pretty painful to get through and I was so bothered by Ignatious that I was always a little uncomfortable.
A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities - yet flawed in places by its very virtues. Ultimately, Ignatius is simply too grotesque and loony to be taken for a genius; the world he howls at seems less awful than he does. Pratfalls can pass beyond slapstick only if they echo, and most of the ones in this novel do not. They are terribly funny, though, and if a book's price is measured against the laughs it provokes, A Confederacy of Dunces is the bargain of the year. Was inspired by
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0802130208, Paperback)"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."Meet Ignatius J. Reilly, the hero of John Kennedy Toole's tragicomic tale, A Confederacy of Dunces. This 30-year-old medievalist lives at home with his mother in New Orleans, pens his magnum opus on Big Chief writing pads he keeps hidden under his bed, and relays to anyone who will listen the traumatic experience he once had on a Greyhound Scenicruiser bound for Baton Rouge. ("Speeding along in that bus was like hurtling into the abyss.") But Ignatius's quiet life of tyrannizing his mother and writing his endless comparative history screeches to a halt when he is almost arrested by the overeager Patrolman Mancuso--who mistakes him for a vagrant--and then involved in a car accident with his tipsy mother behind the wheel. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, Ignatius is out pounding the pavement in search of a job. Over the next several hundred pages, our hero stumbles from one adventure to the next. His stint as a hotdog vendor is less than successful, and he soon turns his employers at the Levy Pants Company on their heads. Ignatius's path through the working world is populated by marvelous secondary characters: the stripper Darlene and her talented cockatoo; the septuagenarian secretary Miss Trixie, whose desperate attempts to retire are constantly, comically thwarted; gay blade Dorian Greene; sinister Miss Lee, proprietor of the Night of Joy nightclub; and Myrna Minkoff, the girl Ignatius loves to hate. The many subplots that weave through A Confederacy of Dunces are as complicated as anything you'll find in a Dickens novel, and just as beautifully tied together in the end. But it is Ignatius--selfish, domineering, and deluded, tragic and comic and larger than life--who carries the story. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. His fragility cracks the shell of comic bluster, revealing a deep streak of melancholy beneath the antic humor. John Kennedy Toole committed suicide in 1969 and never saw the publication of his novel. Ignatius Reilly is what he left behind, a fitting memorial to a talented and tormented life. --Alix Wilber (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:16 -0400) Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, --selfish, domineering, deluded, tragic and larger than life-- is a noble crusader against a world of dunces. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh posts of the fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Auto focus fuzzes outPros: Nice zoom Cons: Autofocus does not stay focused in videos and fuzzes out frequently. Lot's of still pictures are out of focus. Another con is that the two battery canon cameras tend to lose a picture if you try to take another shot before the buffer is cleared. This happens most often when you are taking a very important shot and try to take a second shot to ensure you have the pic....but you lose the good shot because you did not wait for the first one to clear the buffer. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

So soPros: Good optical zoom Cons: Even at highest settings and lowest ISO with lots of light the images are grainy. Just goes to show the the MP means nothing when it comes to a digital cameras picture quality. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Image noise too muchPros: Uses aa batteries. Cons: Can't uses alkalines...really eats batteries. Keep Nimh spares handy. Powerful flash eats batteries. Other Thoughts: I love Canon for point and shoot...well I used too. I use Nikon for DLRs. After using Canon p/s for over a decade I won't buy another one. I went to Olympus. This camera is great for 4x6 shots, but using the higher iso's degrades enlarged images....had no problem with this with older Canon's. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Reviews by neckbeered:More User Reviews:MadScientistNew York 3.48/5 rDev +3% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5 A: A medium amber beer with excellent clarity, some enthusiastic bubbles and a creamy, off-white head. S: A moderately-light earthy and somewhat herbal hops with a moderate malt character. There is a light caramel note in the malt and the occasional hint of the metallic hops note. Other than that a clean, simple nose. T: The flavor is dominated by a balance of moderate malt sweetness, medium-light hops bitterness and a moderate earthy and fruity hops flavor. The malt brings a light caramel character with overall malt being slightly stronger than the hops giving a balance that is a somewhat towards the malt. The finish is crisp with a brief hops bitterness aftertaste and a light fruit character. M: A creamy medium bodied lager with a medium level of carbonation. O: An all malt lager with a balance of enjoyable hop character. A good example of a style I really get to enjoy outside of home brewing circles.

Price: $6.64 (w/ Ralph's card and 30 percent off after buying four 6-packs) for a 6-pack Purchased: Dec. 5, 2013 Consumed: Dec. 5, 2013 Misc.: Best by March 17, 2014 Poured a honey golden clear color with two fingers of frothy white head. Some noticeable bubbles coming up from the bottom. Sporadic foamy spots of good lacing on the sides all the way down. Good retention on the top as well. Smelled caramel, honey, Cheerios, corn, sourdough bread and grass. Much better though than the average AAL. Tasted a lot like the smell. Got corn, wheat grass, honey, caramel, metal, cereal, toast and sourdough bread. Not quite as good as the smell, but still pretty good. Light body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt finish. I have to say, for the style, this beer was much better than I thought it was going to be. Definitely a good alternative to the Bud, Miller Lite, etc. Serving type: bottle 12-06-2013 19:17:14 | More by BucannonXC5 drpimentoWisconsin 3.95/5 rDev +16.9% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Fairly drinkable beer. Poured at a good temperature with a thick, cream-colored, medium size head that settles after a bit and some lace. Color is a clear medium amber with a few slow bubble trails. Aroma is a tad perfumey, malt, grass. Flavor's like nose, tang and mild sweetness up front, bitter in back. Not too complex, but drinkable. Body/carbonation decent. Finish is like flavor, on the short side.

This one pours a nice amber shade with a light beige head. I expected more carbonation with this but wasn't disappointed with it. The aroma was nice and moderately hoppy with some malt in the background. Taste was better than Coors other beers. It was light but not watery. Again, the German hops had a moderate presence without being overbearing. It finished fairly dry; I would almost say there was some rye in the grain bill. Mouthfeel was light. Let's move on. Over all, this is a pleasant beer. If I wanted to drink a lighter beer, I'd consider having one or two in a bar.

My pal bought it on a whim because he is crazy about history and invited me over for a few drinks. I took one swig and I was hooked. I literally teared up because of how wonderful it tasted. I was only over for a half hour and I had consumed three. Several weeks later I found out that the batch I had before was well past it's suggested sell date (7 months over) so I decided to get some more. This batch was just as good if not even better than the first. What I am saying is if you are looking fir something new to try and you enjoy lagers: Try this!

I would like a tad more bite and a little more taste lingering in the upper mouth. taste is where its at with this beer. This is a damn good tasting Beer. Utterly delicious. Sweet and Malty but not overly. A bit of dryness after the sip, tho I wish it had more. You CAN feel it traveling to the stomach, as i can with all beer above 5.00 abv. I dont know what else to say.

Tigers Sweep Crusaders; Improve to 12-5
March 27, 2009
March 27, 2009, Pineville, La. — DePauw improved to 12-5 following a doubleheader sweep of Mary Hardin-Baylor in games played at Louisiana College. The Tigers, ranked seventh by Division III Softball-The Newsletter and 16th by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association won by scores of 4-2 and 3-0. The Crusaders dropped to 7-11 with the losses.
In the first game, DePauw jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Brianne Weeks reached on a dropped third strike and moved to second on a passed ball. Rachel Gill drew a walk before Jennifer Kosinski slammed a three-run homer.
The Crusaders countered with two in the top of the second as Kelsey Greeson led off with a single, moved to second on a groundout and to third on Lindsay Gordon's base hit. Jordan Schrutka followed with a two-run double. Gill scored the games' final run in the third after Kelly Schwerzler drew a bases loaded walk.
DePauw totaled just two hits in the win, but reached base six times on walks. Mary Hardin-Baylor had five hits led by Schrutka's two. Megan Soultz improved to 11-5, while Greeson dropped to 3-6.
In the nightcap, Chelsy Patterson led off the first with a double and later scored on Emma Minx's single. Gill scored in the third on Carolyn Bartlett's base hit, while Weeks added the final run after Gill lifted a sacrifice fly to right. The game was halted after six innings due to weather.
DePauw totaled 13 hits in the win led by Gill's three and Patterson's two. Three different Crusaders had one hit apiece. Soultz improved to 12-5 with the shutout, while Mandy Staton dropped to 3-4.
The Tigers wrap up their Spring Break trip on Saturday with a doubleheader at Mississippi College.

"The text on this card was very easy to read and the design of it is beautiful. The paper is very thick and sturdy. I really think this is a hip surprise birthday card. I would highly recommend it."
"We needed to order celebration invitations for a party quickly. We eloped and then spent two weeks in Italy, which didn't leave us much time to get invitations printed, delivered and mailed. Tinyprints did a superb job. I was most impressed that they also supplied envelopes for the square cards that did not require additional postage. I hadn't ordered enough and the next batch arrived just as swiftly as the first. Good job!"
"I was looking for a ticket for my upcoming Class Reunion. I went onto Tinyprints.com, and there was my ticket. I had filled in the necessary information, and it turned out GREAT!! I can't wait for my fellow Classmates to see their tickets.."
"Tiny Prints is one of my greatest online finds. I needed a rush order for invites to my daughter's 18th birthday/going away party for college. Creating my invitation online, alone, was so easy and the end product so beautiful. I would recommend Tiny Prints to everyone! Thank you for the perfect invitation!"
"It was very easy to change the text, font and color of the invite. Received nice comments from those receiving the invite. I was very pleased with my order (high quality), and will consider Tiny Prints for future events."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia transit agency workers who won a $172 million Powerball drawing say they don't intend to change much about their lives once they receive their windfall.
An office pool of workers at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's headquarters scored the winning ticket in the April 25 multi-state lottery. They purchased the ticket at a newsstand across the street.
The group, who call themselves the SEPTA 48, decided to take a one-time cash payout instead of installments. Split 48 ways, that amounts to a little more than $2.2 million apiece.
Bryant Vaders of Philadelphia says he still plans to pack a lunch every day. Daniel DeSantis, a 42-year SEPTA employee, notes that all of the winners showed up for work the next day and they're still working.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda47D Excellent Product
I recommend this pattern for durability and its' classic design. No one has complained about it or suggested we upgrade"! It services 24 guests in our Lake Gaston rental home and has been in use for 7 years. We often buy more because oddly sets of 4 plates, bowls and cups disappear simultaneously. Obviously, it is a crowd pleaser.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shel60 Classic but hard to clean.
This pattern is versatile and classic. My only issue is the dark marks that seem to appear out of nowhere. Takes extra time and elbow grease to remove even at that some will not come off. These marks make A beautiful set look dingy and dull.
