North Grove School
North Grove School, 3 miles northwest of Sycamore, was built in 1878 by the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church as a parochial and Sunday school. Pupils of diverse ethnic backgrounds learned their lessons in Swedish, even several years after the DeKalb County public school system purchased the school in 1880. The Sycamore unit district acquired the school in 1949, and it continued as a school until 1952, when it was closed. The North Grove community continued to lovingly maintain the building and used it as a neighborhood social center for many years. Classroom in School Upon the closing of North Grove School in 1952, all furnishings were removed. However many furnishings from old Sycamore schools were still in storage in the 1960s when the Natural Resource Center in Genoa began using the site for special education programs. The school was refurbished and re-supplied using these furnishings, with additional period pieces being donated by private citizens. In 1970 North Grove School at 26745 Brickville Road (Map) was listed in the Illinois Directory of Historical Buildings. On May 24, 2012 the United States Department of the Interior placed the school and its outbuildings on the National Register of Historical Places. Today the school is still owned by the Sycamore School District but is leased to and lovingly cared for by the North Grove School Association, whose goal is to preserve this educational icon for future generations.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds have recalled right-hander Raisel Iglesias from Triple-A Louisville and claimed righty Ryan Mattheus from the Angels.
Iglesias was Cincinnati's scheduled starter against Atlanta on Wednesday. Mattheus was expected to report to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Right-hander Carlos Contreras was optioned to Louisville to make room on the roster for Iglesias, whose start against the Braves will be his second in the majors. He left with no decision against St. Louis on April 12.
Mattheus pitched in parts of four seasons with the Washington Nationals before signing with the Angels in January. He went 0-2 with a 2.84 ERA in 11 games this season for Triple-A Salt Lake and made one relief appearance for the Angels, allowing a walk with two strikeouts in one inning.
The 31-year-old Mattheus is 7-7 with a 3.58 ERA over 146 career appearances, all in relief.

New Yorkers' new domain: '.nyc' gets initial OK
Wednesday - 7/3/2013, 1:28pm EDT
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City likes to think of itself as a domain like no other, and now it's close to being able to boast as much on the web.
The city has gotten a key approval for a ".nyc" suffix online, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn announced Tuesday. That would mean web addresses could end in ".nyc" instead of such common suffixes as ".com" or ".org."
"Having our own unique, top-level domain -- .nyc -- puts New York City at the forefront of the digital landscape and creates new opportunities for our small businesses," Bloomberg said in a statement.
The city's new virtual realm is one of hundreds of new suffixes worldwide that have passed what are called "initial evaluations" by the agency in charge of online addresses, the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers. The list includes Istanbul, London and Paris, among other cities.
While some further approvals are needed, New York officials envision the new ".nyc" addresses becoming available late this year to city residents and entities with offices here. Fees haven't yet been determined.
The city has striven to cultivate technology companies during Bloomberg's administration while City Councilwoman Gale Brewer and Quinn championed the idea of a ".nyc" domain several years ago.
Officials say it will make it easier for residents and visitors to pinpoint local services, give businesses an easily visible tie to what the city sees as a valuable locale-as-brand and help spread New York's image around the world.
For businesses and other local website owners, it also could mean a shot at getting their chosen name in ".nyc" if someone else already has taken it in the ".com" address or other established domain.
Neustar Inc., a Sterling, Va.-based communications company, will run the ".nyc" registry and is covering the costs to get it approved, the city said.
Nearly 2,000 bids for new top-level domain names -- from ".app" to ".pizza" to words in Chinese and Arabic -- were submitted last year after ICANN decided to embark on the largest expansion in the history of the online address system.

I just feel like she is so much "younger" than her age sometimes, like perhaps a young 5 instead of an almost-7. I have tried to sort this behavior into one disorder or another, but nothing really seems accurate...she really doesn't fit ADHD or Asperger's, the most obvious ones. She probably has some SPD. Her IQ is in the gifted range, but though she has many of the typical gifted traits, she is certainly not serious, mature, wise-seeming, or some of the other stuff people mention about gifted kids seeming "older." She also does not like/get sophisticated humor, which is often mentioned as a characteristic. And yeah, she still occasionally has major tantums like a younger child or gets way more upset/scared/emotional than most kids her age would.
I don't really know what I am looking for here. Commiseration? Reassurance? I don't know that I think there is really anything "wrong" with her--she's just young for age, and I guess it often seems especially weird in combination with the giftedness. Sometimes I feel like there are no other kids like her. I do know other very bright kids, but they fall much more into the "old before their time/quiet/mature/well-behaved" category.
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
It's not unusual for gifted girls to before males in the younger (and older) ages. My DD is 13 and her best friends have always been boys... typically gifted boys. She just prefers active play. Certainly she was imaginative but she wanted to be a super hero or a pirate not a princess! Elementary was the easiest because girl/boy relationships weren't too frowned upon. Middle school was very lonely because that age really expected the sexes to be seperate unless they were "dating." High school has been much better because it's OK for boys and girls to be friends again. DD has found more like-minded girls to be with at this age but still, her best friend is still a boy and they are inseperable.
I think it's important to really consider what maturity is. Often, the marker for maturity in girls is attitude, obsession with pop culture, disengagement, and boy crazy. I used to get all sorts of comments of how nice it was that DD was still "such a little girl" because she wasn't acting like the other girls. What made them think DD was a little girl? Believe it or not, it was because she conversed easily with adults and had interest in topics outside the typical Disneyfied Tweenager.
From what you described, your DD may be a little "young" in some areas but I suspect she's mature in others. Does she actually seem less mature than boys her age? It could be that her interests just don't line up with girls her age.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
Yes, thank you--this is a good point. These older girls do have all those things, except the boy-craziness, and DD does not. She would never roll her eyes at anybody and she has no concept of "cool." As a family, we intentionally deemphasize/avoid all the tweeniness that is pushed on girls even at this age, and she is not into shopping and pop music, does not know who Hannah Montana is, etc. It isn't JUST this, though...there is also the whole piece where she is still likely to cry hysterically over fairly minor things.
She does not seem less mature than boys her age, I don't think. It's much more obvious around other girls than around boys. I just see this--well, I would call it sophistication, but you're right that it may not be exactly that....in other girls her age or even younger.
The only place you see the "mature" stuff often attributed to gifted kids is that she is highly concerned with justice, fairness, saving the earth, etc. So there is that.
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
a couple of thoughts...
Both of my DC are accustomed to most things coming very easily for them. When something doesn't, they meltdown over it. DS (will be 6 mid-Jan) is much better now, but it's taken a lot of work to remind him that frustration & challenge don't have to equal anger and crying. It's a long process. DD (will be 4 on Wed!) still cries about things that I don't see from others. Some of that, I think, comes from the general easiness of things.
The other thing I've had to come to terms with, and I don't think this is related to giftedness per se, is that many people around me raise their children to be quiet & obedient all.the.time. DH's uncle & his wife have 2 children around the ages of our children. From the time these girls were older infants, they were constantly "shushed" and told to "act like a lady." When DH's grandfather died, the girls were 2 and 4, and they sat through the wake, the funeral, the family visitations without ever making a peep. It seemed miraculous to me! I was totally chasing my kids around. (They also were 2 and 4 at the time.) The thing is, though, that these girls, while sweet kids, are incredibly...boring. They seem "mature," but I never see them play or color or even smile. They're "into" Disney princesses, but I honestly think that it's because they have no other choice. It was pushed on them because that's what interests "proper" girls. They're so afraid to just BE KIDS that they seem really well-behaved. I know that DH's aunt thinks that we let our kids run wild, but I'd prefer that to really "sophisticated" kids without any authentic interests.
It's not weird at all. It's probably part and parcel with her giftedness. She'll outgrow it. Gifted kids can be squirrels.
There is a likely reason. Some gifted kids tend to show delayed maturation of the prefrontal cortex when compared to age-matched peers who do not have ADHD. (ADHD kids also have late maturation of the prefrontal cortex.) The prefrontal cortex helps with executive decision making, planning, and social behaviors. The late delay probably allows gifted kids to learn like little kids for a longer period of time than their peers. It allows broad flexible thinking and rapid acquisition of knowledge and continued rapid acquisition of language. They have a longer window to develop higher thinking skills.
At the same time, the late development means that they can show late development of social skills compared to normal peers and can show difficulty in maintaining attention.
They outgrown. It's a delay, not a permanent condition. They will catch up eventually. You just have to wait for it, and be ready to allow for the delay.
Stuff to read on it:
These are mature thoughts certainly. I think she's what we were talking about in another post... asychronis.
I will say that both my kids potty trained at 2 but each of them had an accident in kindergarten.... this just SHOCKED me cause they hadn't had an accident since two (and they were a total wreck about it!) My eldest 13 doesn't always get sophisticated humour. I don't see it as immaturity in her case, I see it as her being way to literal of a creature. My DS is 10 and just had a major meltdown over his science report because I'd caught a few errors in proof reading. As to the crying, I don't know how unsusual it is for 6-year-olds. I do think that gifted kids have different triggers. I know when DD was 6, her teacher would comment on "immaturity" because she would cry in class. It's not that she was the only one in tears, DD just cried over different things. She didn't make a big deal when some other girl didn't want to be her friend (which causes most 6-year-olds to cry.) She cried because her little craft project didn't look right. Since she was the only kid crying in a situation that didn't seem a big deal to the teacher, it did seem "young." The reaction itself wasn't atypical, just the timing. A year made a big difference. She looped with this same teacher the next year and first conference she was deemed the most mature kid in class.
You could be correct and your DD is a little young for age in some areas but I wouldn't worry about it and I'd be careful comparing her to girls who really aren't like her in personality, ability or unbringing. It'll all resolve itself.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
I have had similar moments, worrying both about the social and the emotional maturity of DS versus other children we met. Actually I shouldn't call them moments, most of the Christmas vacation had me mulling over DS socio-emotional development.
We had to leave a Christmas party early because after playing grocery store very nicely with some sligthly older girls,, he descending into being totally obnoxious, annoying (switching off the lights) and hurting them (pinching) on purpose, then having a meltdown because they sent him away (apparently) saying they did not want to play with him ever again, then knocking over a little one on purpose, another try at playing with the bigger ones, another meltdown "they said I am not allowed to go back home ever!"
The other grownups would just roll their eyes at me "oh they have their ups and downs!" when I kept hovering trying to interfere, one father telling him "come on, don't believe everything girsl tell you!" To me, they just didnt seem to get it - after a certain point, there is no way for him but down and there is no way for him to nat take things seriously. There is no other way but hovering and being on top All.The.Time, pulling him aways physically from the lightswitch etc... so we just left to put him to bed.
We tried again for a New Year's Eve party at another family's place and we never left DS out of eye- or earshot for longer than a few minutes, kept shopping in their store so I could steer their play to keep them all engaged, constantly running interference, rushing over like lightning when one of the girls yelled "ow - stop it!", kept threatening at the slightest infraction (jumping too close to a little one for instance) "stop AT ONCE or granny will come get you" (my parents having agreed to pick him up after the kids' dinner to put him to bed so we could stay with DD) and we actually had a very nice evening! Sounds counterintuitive, I know, but we had it under control at all times. And I did not care whether people thought I was being weird heli mom - in fact, I had a chance to talk a little to our hostess, who we see rarely, about our four-year-olds and she said "you know, DD does this obnoxioxious thing in preschool where she runs at kids to hug them and won't stop, knocking them over - some of the other kids just oaugh and others lose it and it's embarassing..."another sensory seeker! I was so relieved- the two actually got on like a house on fire...Still, th other little girl , though only two months older, seemd MUCh more mature.
Everything is so much more intense. It struck me that even when DS is goofy, it seems more intense than other kids. When he is being serious, the same. When he is being sensitive - he shocked a friend who wantde to give him the story about Miracula fro Christmas, which he knw from the library, and he had a meltdown immediately about the story being "too sad - she can't find her shell and gets WET!" He seems much younger during those times, too.
MeDH DS1 10/06 DD 08/10 DS2 10/12with SB and
This is a REALLY good reminder. Thank you. Yes, DD is the same. She often does not cry much at all over things that would bother a more typical kid (losing a game, getting hurt, not getting a desired toy), but she can become hysterical over things that do not bother other kids at all. It isn't even as much the frequency of the meltdowns but what they are about. It makes the reactions seem weirder and more immature because they don't resonate as "typical" with other adults, me included.
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
On this--yes, I had seen reference to this here before. I guess it's just that I don't personally see other gifted kids who act this way. DD can actually come off as delayed at times, IMO (not intellectually/academically, obviously).
You know, really, maybe this makes sense. When I read descriptions of ADHD, many of the descriptors do fit her, but she has no attentional problems at all.
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
Rivertam has excellent links posted. I think the "answer" is there-- in differently developing brains,

Oh, yeah, I feel like Heli-mom all the time. I used to read articles and put the stress on myself being a "bad" mom, but some kids need the extra guidance. Ds is socio-emotionally on the immature side, and he needs the guidance and "monitor" that his internal system hasn't set up yet. I am pretty sure it's because of higher-than-average intelligence, asynchronous development, in addition to some SPD. I have done a lot of coaching with him at home to help him understand social situations, cues, and read his own body signals better.
His teacher and the head of school last year recommended he repeat kindergarten because he wasn't ready for 1st. We progressed to 1st anyway because his academics are just way too high for kindy. We've had some bumps. I've seen some of the differences between him and others - he looks more impulsive and spacey mostly, at school. At home, I see a lot of the emotional intensity and overt difficulty with transitions. It's him. I don't think he'll have these issues forever, and I think he's come a long way since last spring even. In the short-term, I'll do my best to help him learn the skills he needs for the moment.
There are some really good resources to help kids learn to manage their emotions, transition, deal with the social stuff - whether it's just due to asynchronous development or a diagnoseable disorder. Superflex, You are a Social Detective, Social Behavior Mapping (those 3 can kind of work together), Social Stories, and The Incredible 5-point scale. We have used them all at different times, starting with Superflex and Social Detective.

Wow - I could have written this myself. I haven't been in this area of MDC for quite a while, but came looking for/ready to ask the same question as the OP. My DS was IDed G&T 3 months before his 4th birthday (we weren't going to have it done, but ended up doing it because of some school issues - long story). DH and I get "told" quite often that we're being too "strict" with or hard on him, but most of the time DS still just doesn't understand how to behave in social situations. He runs around like an absolute maniac, making all the goofy noises and actions.... Then all of a sudden he ages 30 years and can debate global warming and the politics of war. On the other hand, he read the first 2 Harry Potter books in August/September (I haven't let him read the next one because he was having some over-active imagination nightmares - and I didn't think the Death Eaters would help that much. Seeing that was a few months ago, and he seems to have settled, I have told him he can read it after I've finished it. We'll see how that goes.)
He also has a melt-down whenever he doesn't get something "right". Today, for example, he drew a picture of Micky Mouse. This picture was awesome! He dissolved into a sodden mess because "the face doesn't look right and the legs are too long". (The face was very slightly squareish... that's it.) He doesn't understand that he is still only 6, with a 6-year-old body.... and that 6-year-old bodies don't always cooperate with the brain that's operating them!
loraxc... I'm not sure what I'm trying to share... except maybe the fact that I don't think there's anything "wrong" with your DD - and that you are most definitely not alone!

By CHRISTOPHER HAWTREE
Richard Matheson inspired many writers with his insatiable appetite for horror stories.
RICHARD Matheson, the prolific American writer of fantasy, horror and science fiction, much of whose work has been adapted for TV and cinema, died on on Sunday, aged 87. Cited by Stephen King as the biggest influence on his own work, Matheson sent shivers down the spines of readers and viewers for decades, with such unusual novels and stories as The Incredible Shrinking Man and the much-filmed I Am Legend.
Matheson was born in Allendale, New Jersey, to Norwegian parents, and brought up in Brooklyn, New York. As a youngster he first set his heart on a musical career, but an avid appetite for fantasy fired his creativity: he was only eight when his stories appeared in a local newspaper, the Brooklyn Eagle. He was transfixed by seeing Dracula at the cinema, and by his teens had the idea for the vampire story I Am Legend.
After he graduated from Brooklyn technical high school in 1943, World War II service intervened. He later described his experiences through the eyes of a common soldier in his novel The Beardless Warriors (1960).
Solitary, bewildered men recur in Matheson's work, and he developed such trademark characters while working nights as a linotype operator in California. He had moved to the American West Coast after graduating in journalism from the University of Missouri in 1949. He met his future wife, Ruth Ann Woodson, on a beach in Santa Monica; they married in 1952.
A first novel, Hunger And Thirst, went unpublished for several decades. A short story, Born Of Man And Woman (1950), attracted notice and became part of his first story collection, published in 1954, the same year that I Am Legend appeared. In this tale, the last man on Earth is beset by vampires. Partially soothed by whisky, music and the companionship of a dog, he reflects in a library on all the books on its shelves, "the residue of a planet's intellect, the scrapings of futile minds, the leftovers, the potpourri of artifacts that had no power to save men from perishing".
It was filmed three times, as The Last Man On Earth (1964), as The Omega Man (1971) and, most recently, with Will Smith, as I Am Legend (2007).
In an even more intense book, The Shrinking Man (1956), Scott Carey is exposed to radiation and chemicals that cause him to grow smaller. He is pursued by a spider that appears bigger and bigger as he dwindles in size. Carey's terrifying situation was a variation on that era's preoccupation with man's identity amid the lonely crowd and threat of the atomic bomb. Carey keeps faith – "a man's self-estimation was, in the end, a matter of relativity ... he still had his mind, he was still unique" – despite his fear of a spider whose "pulsing egg of a body perched on running legs – an egg whose yolk swam with killing poisons".
Matheson contributed to Rod Serling's renowned early 1960s television series The Twilight Zone, whose episodes twist towards ingenious endings. In the famous, much-parodied Nightmare At 20,000 Feet, a salesman, played by William Shatner, recovering from a nervous breakdown, sees in flight a creature "of a wide-pored coarseness" on the wing of the plane.
When he heard news of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov 22, 1963, Matheson abandoned a game of golf and was returning home when he was continually tailgated by a truck. This inspired a long story, Duel, which he adapted for Spielberg's terrifying made-for-television movie. Spielberg added scenes for a cinema release, but Matheson preferred the TV version.
Other television films included The Night Stalker (1972) and a notable movie in which Dick Van Dyke drew on his own alcoholic struggle, The Morning After (1974). A Hammer work, The Devil Rides Out (1968), from the novel by Dennis Wheatley, gave scope to a sinister Charles Gray as the leader of a satanic cult.
Matheson continued to write short stories, and also returned to novels with the gothic Hell House (1971), which became the lacklustre film The Legend Of Hell House (1973). Bid Time Return (1975), in which a man travels through time to pursue the subject of a 19th-century portrait, was filmed as Somewhere In Time in 1980 with Christopher Reeve. What Dreams May Come (1978, adapted in 1998 into an Oscar-winning film with Robin Williams) revealed Matheson's growing preoccupation with psychic matters, and these were the subject of his non-fiction work The Path (1993). His work for children included the charming tale Abu And The Seven Marvels (2002).
Matheson is survived by his wife and their four children, three of whom became writers. – Guardian News & Media

Insider: Dx 11.1+ will be getting a downgrade to dx8.1- in the one :) ...well that is what sdf would like and many might think that...
But the truth is, it is only a place holder. Wait till 29th or so I hear tgs.. As the nda will lift.
Misterx: Can you confirm PS4 is 1.8TFs? Or it is 3.2TF stacked as you previosly said?
How much more powerfull Xbox One is? Seems like xbox one is 3.7TF-4.2TF territory and PS4 will upgrade to 3.2TF
That will not gave Microsoft a KO victory and than means Xbox brand could not recover fast enought from damage Sony created with their lie and FUD...
Also, how is that possible to w2w 28nm and 20nm? Mistercteam say that is only 2.5D possibility....
Insider: Ps4 1.8tf x1 2.4tf without cloud with cloud 2.9tf(misterx comment: suddenly it is only 2.4TF now...below he hints why he lowered this from 4.2TF as in my understanding he tryes to be Level 3 or 4 developer. level 3/4/...developers do not have access to the advanced dev kits)with respectively these numbers may not carry over in real world figures. No pain no gain.
The ps4 1.8tf is a theoretical number.. this 40% is being based on white paper tests.. ps4 does not use the same custom silicon as x1..
the dpu are 80% faster then sonys gpgpu comput units. Were as the sony gpu is 14:4 and these process are gpu depended not specialized. they are definitely alot slower and harder to develop for as cerny has stated it will take 2-4 years to see ps4 architecture benefits.
The biggest struggle sony face are there belief the gpu can do it all. .. It has to do a lot of extreme heavy lifting to reach there aspirations. 70% of pseye processing has to be done on the gpu comput units and takes up 2 whole cores of processing. Yes onion and garlic + buss are extremely fast. But they also do have stalls.. the fact that the cpu is crippled to 10gbs. And fanboys have this vision that you just double the buss. Which in theory is true. But it comes with extreme optimization problems. The fact is the cpu just cant keep up with the gpu and comput load. This is where x1 hardware really shines. Esram on chip has allowed ms to get a 68gbs from the ddr3 but when cpu uses hsa memory coherently esram/ddr it has a constant 30gbs buss with 6 ops per core. The x1 design is a hsa+ design in theory. In nature of hsa it has been modified alot. Also the main soc gpu does not have to do physic's based calculations as there specialized
process for this. There is also two geometry engines. And there is also an extra gfx core and comput units. which has its own 10mb of esram it can access independently or shared. The sound and video do not have constraints on the gpu And kinect has all its own processing externally. . As for w2w mistercteam may be right. There has been alot of changes in x1 design and it is looking more and more like 2.5D. But I can honestly say I am not sure if co process are on a different silicon to the main soc at this time. Or are combined As we dont have access to final retail sdk. Even gamescom was not final ether. There is no manufacture problems as they really do have fail safes in place for bad binning. The wired hd shots showed where the co processors should have been on the motherboard but they were not in those shots. More will be said at tgs.. From the story coming directly from upper suits. It seems Ms may take a swing at Sony on there own turf. :)
Insider: I see a heap of people trying to add the x1 memory bandwidth and not getting the right figure. They all seem to see that some thing is missing or not adding up. They think ms are fools.. But the real truth is right in front of them.
If they factored in why there is a quad memory design 4x 256bit. Because each gpu and cpu has two read and wright address lines rather then have one big 512bit address line. Ms designed two 256bit gfx cores. Which each can access cpus. That is also why the cpu's are not one big clusters the cpus are split into 4 core. It would have made the cpu recourse worse over a 512bit bus and it would have coursed stalling and fragmentation. This is also why there is two swizzle main accelators / data move engines with 30gbs r/w that are solely for cpu/gpu. Do the maths with a second gpu architecture. Then it will all add up.. the system will not see 5tf performance gains. But 2.4 -3.1 is what has been said at many discussion. Which is why I have said 680 level of performance :)
Misterx: Do you still expect dGPU is there?
Insider: It is more like 2.4 - 3.1 tf..(misterx wonders dGPU only or the whole system?) which for a console with high level machine code available to developer is a staggering amount of tf.. and that ant half of what is in there as there is special dpu graphics process that handles other graphic things that pc are going struggle with... I will tell you 2.5D is still a highly effective method for stacking.. we where told w2w but that could be for the extra stuff gpu cpu gpu esram. I would hold off as I can not give you a straight up 100% truthful answer. We dont have finally sdk. Only capcom crytek ea ubisoft do .. I have seen it but not open. Back in june we saw inside the sdk and there was two apu's in the box. It looked like the wired photos. Very much like 360 design expect the second apu was close but on its own silicon. We were told that it would merged with the main soc w2w.. that is why the clocks were dropped from 1 ghz to 853. There was to much power draw for the chip. And the fans were always
kicking in. So they downclocked. But they had a winning design with massive capabilites .. not sure if both gpus are running @ 850.. I heard that one is 900mhz but I do not know if the source was authentic. Plus 4 quad 256bit buss are a lot more efficient then one big 512bit .. specially when crossfired and multi cpu gpgpu.
Misterx: So the second dGPU will be 0,9-1,5 TF only? how is that make sence?
Insider: I really want to tell you more.. believe me.. but right now there is a massive hardware battle going on.. sony know Ms have crushed them with the x1 specs.. sony is trying desperately to get a second dgpu into the ps4. That is why the truth is starting to leak out. Sony has had no final hardware running on real ps4 hardware its all phase 3 dev kits.. sony are trying to boost the consoles hardware. I think the gaming media will come out a lot more about ths truth ps4 is not what sony promised .. Cerny know this to.. its a console war . Sony have been very ruthlessly and time has run out.. I cant say much more NDA and ms have the army out right now . X1 is extremely powerful you dont even know the half..
Misterx: That is sounds better :)
So, no problems for Xbox One to be on pair with PCs for next 5 years? So, if no PS4 upgrade then 2-3 more powerfull still in place? :)
We need somehow to be sure MS will fast regain its ground...if that will be 1.84 vs 2.4 that will not be fast...also why BF4 dev say PC version will be better...
Insider: Its going to be on par... but it will still take coding to metal... pc is an open platform. It never stagnates. That is were cloud comes in to x1 architecture. Because the data centers are ever evolving and so is the internet. It will allow a grasping of the pc platform ever evolving expenditure. Of course hypothetical In aspect now for gpu culls, it is however very efficient for physics and adaptive a.i .Branch predicted light and geometry. Five years from now it will be rendering full 2tf gpus performance with ease.
When it comes to x1 and bf4 . There is going to be some comprises. Your not going to see native 4k or supper high aa or af levels that a pc with 2 or 3 7890 or 780 are going to be doing. Its just not possible. 64player @ 60fps and 1080p will happen.. but pc is lead platform so its going to be better with a 4k tv and a 4000$ computer. It is logical
Insider: Mistercteam is correct In his Bнимание к деталям(misterx - attention to details in russian...shocked he wrote this in russian) .. keep digging... I expect ms to start looking at you guys in a different mind now. Expect a few discrediting comments. :)

Frontier investors have been excited by the opening up of Myanmar's market since its quasi-civilian government came to power in 2011, after nearly half a century of military rule. But investors also complain that there is very little to invest in. This one is a deep frontier – there is no real stock market, and investors have tended not to go directly into local companies.
Global Investing
The people buying emerging markets
We've written (most recently here) about all the buying interest that emerging markets have been getting from once-conservative investors such as pension funds and central banks. Last year's taper tantrum, caused by Fed hints about ending bond buying, did not apparently deter these investors . In fact, as mom-and-pop holders of mutual funds rushed for the exits, there is some evidence pension and sovereign wealth funds actually upped emerging allocations, say fund managers. And requests-for-proposals (RFPs) from these deep-pocketed investors are still flooding in, says Peter Marber, head of emerging market investments at Loomis Sayles.
Emerging markets; turning a corner
Emerging markets have been attracting healthy investment flows into their stock and bond markets for much of this year and now data compiled by consultancy CrossBorder Capital shows the sector may be on the cusp of decisively turning the corner.
Ecuador: a successful emerging market?
A colleague of mine, Marius Zaharia (@MZaharia) interviewed Moritz Kraemer, Standard and Poor's head of sovereign ratings for Europe, Middle East and Africa. (you can read the interview here) Kraemer offered this piece of advice to the African governments who are busily tapping bond markets these days:
Anticipating the fallout from South Africa's ratings reviews
South Africa is due ratings reviews this Friday. Chances are that the Standard & Poor's agency will cut its BBB rating by one, or possibly even two notches. Another agency Fitch has a stable outlook on the rating but could still choose to downgrade the rating rather than the outlook. What will be the damage?
Discovering Pyongyang's view with a North Korean diplomat
Last week I went to a very unique session on North Korea which featured a rare appearance of a North Korean diplomat, at London-based policy institute Chatham House.
Toxic trio turns tantalising
Dubbed the Toxic Trio earlier this year, the high-yield bond markets of Argentina, Ukraine and Venezuela are starting to look a lot more appealing.
Buying back into emerging markets
After almost a year of selling emerging markets, investors seem to be returning in force. The latest to turn positive on the asset class is asset and wealth manager Pictet Group (AUM: 265 billion pounds) which said on Tuesday its asset management division (clarifies division of Pictet) was starting to build positions on emerging equities and local currency debt. It has an overweight position on the latter for the first time since it went underweight last July.
And the biggest loser was…Belgium
The largest downswing in the BlackRock Sovereign Risk Index over the past quarter was not Ukraine, despite the annexation of its Crimea region and Russian troops on its borders, but Belgium.
Ukraine and the IMF: a sense of deja vu
The West has just agreed to stump up a load of cash for Ukraine but there is a distinct sense of deja vu around it all.

Point of Law
Will SEC tighten up on foreign investments?
popular .
The Securities and Exchange Commission is now in the midst of public consultations on a proposed circular that will determine the allowable level of foreign ownership of companies engaged in nationalized activities.
The draft circular is occasioned by the Supreme Court's decision in Gamboa vs. Secretary of Finance (G.R. No. 176579, 28 June 2011 and Oct. 9, 2012) in which the court ruled that "the term 'capital' in Section 11, Article XII, of the 1987 Constitution refers only to shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors…"
The decision invalidated a longstanding SEC rule that, in determining compliance with Filipino ownership requirements, the term 'capital' is used to refer to outstanding capital stock consisting of voting or non-voting shares.
The Gamboa ruling is widely seen as restricting our rules on foreign investments in the country.
Let me highlight two provisions of the draft circular which, I believe, will have a material impact on our country's competitiveness.
Beneficial ownership
Section 3.a. defines "Beneficial Ownership" as referring to the "enjoyment of all the benefits and privileges of ownership of shares, including, but not limited to, the power to vote in the election of directors and/or specific corporate matters, or to direct the voting of such shares; and the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of such shares."
If adopted, the new rule would invalidate existing corporate structures that have been in place in the corporate world since time immemorial. It will cause undue prejudice to investors who contributed capital to our economy on the strength of the longstanding SEC interpretation of the legal provisions relating to foreign ownership limits.
Ownership requirements
Of greater concern is Section 4, which provides that "all covered corporations shall … observe the constitutional or statutory ownership restrictions for each class of shares; provided that, if any class of shares is divided into series of shares and a particular series of shares has different rights, privileges, and limitations, the covered corporation must observe the same ownership restrictions for said series of shares."
If adopted, Section 4 would restrict foreign investors, as it would require that each class of shares must comply with the foreign ownership limit.
Indeed, based on records of the Philippine Stock Exchange as of Nov. 27, the application of Section 4 of the draft circular would result in the "reduction of allowable shares to foreigners which are approximately valued at P383,265,554,441.84."
This means not only a selldown of shares in the stock market worth P383.2 billion but, more importantly, it will force key industries to scale down their businesses due to the limited space for foreign-owned capital.
Needless to stress, this will have severe negative effects on our economy and hamper the President's efforts to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of our people.
The real issue
The proposed section 3.a. is apparently based on a statement of the Supreme Court in the Gamboa case that: "[f]ull beneficial ownership of the stocks, coupled with appropriate voting rights, is essential" (resolution dated 9 Oct. 2012).
Section 4 is based on another statement in the same case that "it is imperative" that the "constitutional requirement of at least 60 percent Filipino ownership… apply uniformly and across the board to all classes of shares, regardless of nomenclature and category, comprising the capital of a corporation" (resolution dated 9 Oct. 2012).
Significantly, these two statements are not included in the judgment or dispositive portion of the decision.
Lawyers of note are unanimous that these two statements can be disregarded by the SEC for being "obiter dicta" (side comments made by a judge in the body of his decision that are not necessary to decide the issue at hand).
Setting aside legalities, the more important question for the country is whether the SEC should make the two pronouncements as part of the draft circular. Before arriving at this decision, I believe the SEC should take into account the following facts:
Based on the 2011-2012 Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum, we are the least competitive among the original member countries of the Asean.
The flow of foreign direct investments to the Philippines pales in comparison with that of our Asean counterparts.
We have the lowest investment-to-GDP ratio among the five original members of the Asean.
Despite its age and recent gains, our stock market remains one of the smallest in the Asean.
We have one of the most restrictive foreign investment regimes in Asia.
