"We tried to find a way to provide access… and not continue to impose the cost on ratepayers for the uncompensated care," said NH state Sen. Nancy Stiles, (R-Hampton). She says one of the prime benefits to hospitals is that they will receive a higher rate of reimbursement from health policies on the exchange than they would have received through expansion of the state's existing Medicaid program.
Two dozen states have yet to expand Medicaid to income-eligible adults, and hospitals are feeling the pinch, according to Brendan Saloner, PhD, lead author of a perspective piece on Medicaid expansion published in the New England Journal of Medicine on March 27. He says one way the federal government is paying for healthcare reform efforts under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is through cuts to the program Washington had previously used to help hospitals pay for uncompensated care, the Disproportionate Share Hospital reimbursement program.
Cuts to DSH "went into effect under the assumption the states would expand Medicaid," Saloner wrote, adding that hospitals serving low-income populations in states without Medicaid expansion are taking a heavy blow. "That causes a lot of financial strain."
In Missouri, which is politically gridlocked over Medicaid expansion, the state hospital association is leading the charge to expand the program.

DEFINITION of 'Boomerang'
An American slang term that refers to an adult who has moved back in with his or her parents (who are part of the baby boomer generation) instead of living independently. The phrase, when applied to an individual, makes reference to the fact that the person lived independently for a period, but subsequently returned home due to the financial costs associated with maintaining a separate household.
BREAKING DOWN 'Boomerang'
While boomer parents may be pleased emotionally to have their boomerangs back in the household, boomerangs can often pose a significant financial burden on their parents. This can result in a reduction in retirement savings for the boomerang's parents, leaving them with the decision to either postpone their own retirement or have their children help out with the household expenses.
Other countries have adopted similar slang to represent this domestic phenomenon. In Italy, the term "mammon", or "mama's boys" is used, while the Japanese refer to them as "parasaito shinguru", or "parasite singles". In the U.K., children boomeranging back home has given rise to the acronym KIPPERS (or kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings).

Gas Hob Problems
In simple terms, a gas hob is a
kitchen stove
used for the purpose of cooking food with the main source of fuel and heat obtained from natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or other flammable gases. Gas hobs fundamentally have two types of ignition sources, standing pilot or electric. A standing pilot has a gas flame which burns continuously under the cooktop. The flame located between the front and back burners lights the gas when it flows out of the burners. Electric igniters use electric sparks to ignite the burners making an audible "clicking" noise. They are operated and controlled with the help of knobs. Gas hobs allow the control of the heat to be quicker and more refined. Listed below are a few common questions answered by the Experts on gas hob problems.
What should an individual check to know whether the jets are meant for natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas on a Bosch gas hob?
There is no definite method to check this feature however normally the holes in the orifice for natural gas hobs are bigger as compared to the ones on LPG hobs. When the gas hob is set up with natural gas the flame tends to be very high. You could try a small test. Connect the gas hob to natural gas and if the pots and pans you use start to turn black at the bottom, it is better to set up the gas hob for LPG. In which case, you probably need to change or replace the orifices.
What should an individual do to stop the igniters on a Miele gas hob to stop clicking?
This problem of constant clicking occurs usually due to presence of moisture from any recent cleaning of the gas hob. If all your burners are clicking when turned off and stop once lit it you can try the following actions. Use a hair dryer and blow dry the area where you cleaned it or where there is a possibility of moisture being trapped. Sometimes turning off the system for 24 hours will also give the gas hob a chance to dry out. If this does not work, determine which burner stops clicking by turning on each burner one after the other. Once you have identified the burner, replace the switch under that knob. If all this does not resolve the clicking, you will probably need to replace the spark module. Below is a link to the Miele website for you to order the required part.
The instant electric ignition on a Whirlpool gas hob is not working though the individual is able to light the burners with a match. Is this a battery issue or a power issue?
If the ignition is no longer ticking, the problem could have occurred with the spark module or ignition device. In case it does tick but you get no ignition, the actual pilots could be clogged and need to be removed and cleaned. If it does not work you need to replace the spark module. To access it you need to remove the hob top in the cavity you should see a small box with thin wires going to each burner. Ensure the mains are off while doing so or the battery is fine if it is a battery operated hob. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you could call a technician. They are not very expensive components
What could an individual do if a Kitchenaid gas hob and oven range is showing an error Code F02 and is now giving off a smell similar to when the oven is in self cleaning mode?
An F2-E0 error is an indication that the oven temperature is too high. What you need to do is test the operation or functioning of the door lock if this is a self cleaning model, next test the relay contact operation and lastly whether there is high resistance in the oven temperature sensor. A faulty oven temperature sensor can allow the oven to get very hot as well as the control board but the sensor cannot lock the oven door. Hence in your case since the door has locked the problem lies with the control board. The control board is the part which has the clock and display. This repair can be attempted by you if you are electrically and mechanically inclined, if not a technician can be employed.
Gas hobs are a common
among most households. Sometimes these units have ovens too. As seen above, igniters of gas hobs can cause many issues such as continuous clicking and sparking even when the switch is off. On the other hand, you could also be facing different issues on installation, conversion of gas hobs or availability of gas hob fittings. In order to know more about your particular problem and find an optimum solution, consulting Experts would prove useful and reasonable.

A Louisiana prison's shelter/adoption program.

Colleges are welcoming second chance dogs.
From a dog's point of view, there may be no better place to spend some time than a college campus.

It can just as easily be argued that there's nothing better for college...

As a child I was surrounded by dogs and was always fascinated by them. When I was 5 years old I walked up to a neighbor's dog as it was chewing a bone. I reached to pet him and received a minor bite to the hand for my inattention. As I recall, my parents sternly reminded me not to bother dogs, especially if they were eating, sleeping, or chewing a bone. Lesson learned. It was the only bite I ever...

I lead a team of six programmers, and we are presently implementing a number of agile development practices. I'm very interested in Scrum, however it seems to assume that your project will have multiple developers. Most of my projects are smaller, and involve a single developer. We run 3 or 4 such projects in parrallel at any time.
From reading Schwaber, a lot of the benefit of Scrum seems to derive from teams self-organising to achieve a complex task. If you have a single developer doing all the work, will Scrum deliver much value?

Re: [gui4cli] Volume Control
Expand Messages
> mci setaudio $volTo use MCI you must first "open" a device.
The normal code that "should" do this (but doesn't) would be:
XBUTTON 10 10 165 30 "volume half"
mci 'open "c:/myfile.wav" alias temp'
if $$retcode = 0
mci 'setaudio temp volume to 50'
mci 'close temp'
The reason it doesn't work is that the SetAudio command works only for
"digitalvideo" and "vcr" devices. - see:
so you would have to open one of those types of files - I don't know how..
In general volume control through MCI sucks.
> Does anyone know of an easy way to control volume?I have a half finished dll that deals with that but I have to find
sometime to finish it.
There may be another way I don't know about though..
- Hi,
You can smoothly change the volume of the song that has been opened
with MCI but that does not change the setting of your system volume
control (sndvol32.exe).
To control the volume of a song you first have to open it as
mpegvideo like this:
mci 'open $sound type mpegvideo alias song'
if $$retcode = 0
mci 'play song'
mci 'setaudio song volume to $vol'
The trackbar should have the style 'busy' and the command:
mci 'setaudio song volume to $vol'
$sound is the full path to the song which may be a type wav, mp3,
wma and mid.
- Hi,
I forgot something (must be the age)
1. If you don't use MIDI-files and WAV-files than you don't have to
specify the device. (Useful for MP3/WMA only)
You can simply open MCI by: mci 'open $sound alias song'
and then change the volume. In this case volume control of MIDI- and
WAV-files is not possible but they still can be heard at max level.
2. The trackbar should have min/max values of 0 and 1000
Max value of 100 means the sound is hardly audible.
3. If you want to change the system sound volume from a Gui4Cli gui
add the command <run 'sndvol32.exe'> to a button or any other event
whenever/whereever you want.
NB. Applies to XP

Thomas E. "Tom" Brinkman, Jr. (born December 6, 1957) is a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives from Cincinnati.
He is known for his opposition to higher taxes and public spending, and has been nicknamed "Dr. No."[1] Before his election to the Ohio General Assembly, he was active in Cincinnati politics; and he has been popular among rank-and-file conservatives for his strong pro-life and anti-taxation stances.
In 2014, Brinkman successfully defeated incumbent Peter Stautberg in the Republican primary election to retake his former seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. He went on to win the general election with 67.78% of the vote.
A resident of the Mount Lookout section of Cincinnati, Brinkman graduated from St. Xavier High School and received a B.A. (in history and political science) from George Washington University in 1979. In 1976, he worked for the Ronald Reagan campaign to win the Republican nomination for President, and for the Gerald Ford campaign following Ford's nomination at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. While a student at GWU, he worked in the office of Senator Bob Dole of Kansas from 1977 to 1979. In 1980 he supported Congressman John B. Anderson's presidential bid, but switched his support to Reagan following the Republican National Convention. From his graduation to 1999, he was Midwest Sales Manager for the Metroweb printing company in Erlanger, Kentucky. From 2001, he has worked in the sales department of the Curry Printing Company of Evendale, Ohio.
He and his wife, Cathy, have six children: Will, Stephen, Daniel, Kelley, Kevin, and Michael.
Local politics[edit]
Brinkman worked for several Republicans' successful campaigns for Cincinnati City Council: Phil Heimlich, Steve Chabot, Charles Winburn, and Pat DeWine. He also worked for John Kruse's unsuccessful bid.
In 1999, he founded the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), which actively opposes tax levies in southwestern Ohio. Brinkman actively worked against many tax levies and bond issues. In his Congressional campaign he declared:
I have been relentless in my pursuit of lower taxes, reduced spending and elimination of waste in the State of Ohio. No one else in this race has my record of saying "NO" to taxes. Every candidate in this race will tell you that they are "conservative" but when the rubber hits the road, I am the only one with a proven voting record.
Brinkman opposed numerous tax increases. In 1999, he campaigned against Hamilton County's proposed levy to build a new communications system for the fire and police departments. He said the county already had the money: "Commissioners are the ones politicizing the basic issues of public safety. They're putting it on the ballot instead of taking care of it like they should."[2]
When the Hamilton County Commissioners proposed spending $300 million on the Albert Sabin Convention Center in 1999, Brinkman protested. "All of these projects keep on growing, and they're creating a huge tax burden on us. But when the economy goes sour, they will leave a tremendous burden."[3] When Brinkman went to the state legislature, he voted against legislation to pay for the expansion.[4]
In 2006 Brinkman was one of the leaders of group called Equal Rights Not Special Rights (ERNSR). This group started a petition drive to overrule a recent Cincinnati City Council vote that included sexual orientation and gender identity as protected clasess under the city's Human Rights Ordiance. ERNSR ended up withdrawing the petitions when Citizens to Restore Fairness presented a challenge to the petitions.[5] Equality Cincinnati continued to investigate the petition fraud and the evidence was sent to the Hamilton County Grand Jury. The jury did not find a reason to have any charges brought against Brinkman, even though he admitted to changing over 1000 address on the petitions to make them valid. Two women were charged by the Grand Jury and on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, at their plea hearing Hamilton County Common Please Judge Robert Ruehlman reprimanded Brinkman from the bench. Ruehlman called him the "real criminal" in this case. Ruehlman stated, "It's terrible. It takes away a right to the democracy. It takes away the right for people to decide the issues when you cheat like that." He even suggested that Brinkman should be charged with complicity to election fraud, acted without ethics and that the Ohio State House of Representatives should remove him from office.[citation needed]
To the General Assembly[edit]
Brinkman defeated the candidate endorsed by the Republican party in the GOP primary in 2000 for the 37th District seat in the Ohio House, which was Anderson Township, the Hyde Park and Mount Lookout sections of Cincinnati, and the city of Norwood [1]. A Brinkman supporter was upset by the party's endorsement process: "All we wanted was a free, open process of endorsement, and we didn't get that," said Christopher Finney [2]. In the primary, Steve Adams, the endorsed candidate, received 9,344 votes and Brinkman 11,127. In the November general election, he faced Democrat Les Mann, a security guard at General Electric's aircraft engine plant in Evendale who previously had run for Congress against Rob Portman, and Natural Law candidate Jim Donaldson. The vote was 35,245 for Brinkman (66.7%), 2,029 for Donaldson (3.8%), and 15,531 for Mann (29.4%).
Brinkman ran for reelection in 2002 to what redistricting had made the 34th District, which included the Mount Washington, Hyde Park, and Mount Lookout sections of Cincinnati, part of Columbia Township, all of Anderson Township, and the municipalities of Fairfax, Newtown and Terrace Park [3]. He faced no opposition in the May 7 primary and was opposed in the November 5 general election by Democrat David Schaff, a twenty-four-year-old assistant to Hamilton County commissioner Todd Portune. Schaff said his opponent was "someone who's spent more time saying what he's against than working for what he's for."[1] Schaff was endorsed by The Cincinnati Post, which wrote
Tom Brinkman's opposition to almost everything undercuts his credibility, and does a disservice to both the district and the region. His reflexive opposition to much government spending, his willingness to tolerate a tattered social services safety net, his advocacy of an entirely unregulated concealed carry gun permit system, we submit, are out of step even with such a thoroughly Republican constituency.
That year Brinkman called on Republican voters to cast their ballots for Democrat Tim Hagan over Republican Governor Bob Taft in his reelection bid because of Taft's selection of Jennette Bradley as his running mate; many conservatives felt she was too liberal for the party.[6] The Cincinnati Enquirer's Peter Bronson labeled Brinkman "Kamikaze Tom" for this action, but nevertheless, Brinkman was easily reelected over Schaff by a vote of 23,748 to 13,896.
His stands in Columbus[edit]
When University of Cincinnati law students in 2003 persuaded the General Assembly to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, which a post-Civil War-era legislature had rejected, only one member voted against ratification: Brinkman.[7] Brinkman told The Enquirer his vote was because of how the amendment has been misused:
It's misapplied constantly by the country to get states to do things they don't want to do. Most importantly to me, 45 million babies have been murdered since judges forced Roe v. Wade down the throats of citizens.[7]
Following the repeal of Article XII of the Cincinnati city charter, which forbade the city from passing an ordinance protecting homosexuals from discrimination, the Cincinnati city council approved a hate crime ordinance that included sexual orientation. Brinkman said the ordinance "send[s] the message that you openly approve of homosexuality," citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church [4]. Brinkman had previously served as treasurer of the committee which opposed repeal of Article XII [5].
Brinkman prided himself on his perfect attendance and for coming home to Cincinnati every night from Columbus, but when Columbus Monthly in late 2003 did a survey of legislators, lobbyists, and others working in the State House asking them to rate the members of the Ohio General Assembly, Brinkman was rated the single worst legislator in the 132-member General Assembly. The magazine said Brinkman was "an uncompromisingly principled man. But he's a terrible, terrible legislator." Those surveyed ranked him as least knowledgeable, least hardworking, least likeable, least compassionate, and least savvy.[8] Brinkman, for his part, points to his principled stance on the issues as the reason lobbyists don't like him.
In 2007, Representative Brinkman was named the chairman of the House Commerce and Labor Committee.
2004 reelection[edit]
In 2004, he faced a challenger in the primary, attorney Greg Delev of Anderson Township.[9] Brinkman told the Enquirer, "I ran for office when the party wanted to dictate who my state representative was going to be. I couldn't stand for that, so I ran, and I'm proud I did. It's been a frustrating three years as I've watched Governor Taft drive the state off a cliff. But I've been fighting back."[10] Delev said he agreed with Brinkman on most of the issues, but that Brinkman's actions in Columbus had made the district "the laughingstock of the state."[11] The Cincinnati Enquirer said both candidates were "rock-ribbed conservatives who agree on most fiscal and social issues," but endorsed Delev. "The issue here is Brinkman's lack of effectiveness," said the newspaper, echoing the Columbus Monthly article:
Few lawmakers are as honest, principled and consistent as Brinkman. But he exhibits those qualities to a fault, coming off as stubborn, ideologically rigid and unwilling to compromise. He's made many enemies in Columbus by refusing to see anyone else's side of things. This has limited his ability to work with others and get things done.[12] Brinkman won the March 2 primary: 7,113 (63.00%) to 4,178 (37.00%).
In the general election on November 2 he faced Democrat Glenn Miller of Anderson Township, a former history teacher who worked in job training. "I think the biggest issue of this race is Tom Brinkman—how he votes and how he's against everything," Miller said.[13] The Enquirer, again citing his stubbornness, endorsed Miller [6]. Despite the criticism, Brinkman once again won the Republican district by a comfortable margin: 35,229 (60.04%) for Brinkman to 23,451 (39.96%) for Miller.
Brinkman strongly supported concealed carry legislation. "We have a constitutional right to bear arms. Larry Flynt has a right to put out smut and some people may not like that, but it's a right whether we like it or not," he said [7] [8] [9]. Brinkman sponsored legislation to allow ex-cons the right to cut hair. He called "stupid" the policy of the state regulators to deny prisoners who had taken prison-administered barber classes a license upon their release. "I'm for personal responsibility, but people do make mistakes and we should give them a second chance," Brinkman said [10].
Brinkman also worked to limit state spending just as he had opposed local projects. In 2003, he opposed Taft's "Third Frontier" project and the bond issue on the November ballot as Issue One which would have permitted the state to borrow money to subsidize business's research and development. "Who would have thought a Republican governor would run on this?" Brinkman said (Issue One was soundly defeated by voters).[14] When Taft proposed in 2004 the question once more be submitted to the voters, Brinkman renewed his criticism. "Corporate welfare is corporate welfare. Just because you buy off the manufacturers with more money for them, and you buy off the farmers, doesn't change what it is." [11] He said he would join Democrats in voting against its placement on the November 2005 ballot.
Brinkman in 2004 criticized state spending for Cincinnati's bid to win the 2012 Olympic Games[15] and against legislation in 2004 to give hospitals more money for breast cancer examinations [12]. Later that year, he spearheaded a campaign to repeal the City of Cincinnati property tax. While it did make it to the November ballot, it was rejected by the voters [13] [14]. He was also a supporter of Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution to limit state spending [15]. In 2005, he was one of only eight Republicans in the Ohio House to vote against the state budget, which raised taxes and increased spending.[16] Previously, he had opposed Governor Taft's proposed personal income tax cut because it would mean higher local property taxes. He also called for funding for public libraries to be maintained.[17]
On April 28, 2005, he introduced a bill, House Bill 228, that would ban all abortions. Brinkman acknowledged that the bill was unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade, but wanted to use it as a test case to overturn the Roe decision. "We're just positioning the state for the future," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He re-introduced the ban on July 2007, despite the additional burden of Gov. Strickland's veto threat. [16] Six months before, he successfully passed legislation for Ohio to conduct a study of how the death penalty has been administered in the state. "I'd like to abolish it or have a moratorium, but you've got to start somewhere." [17]
Congressional bid[edit]
Brinkman ran for Congress in 2005 to replace Portman, announcing his candidacy outside the post office in Anderson Township on April 14 [18]. Brinkman told the press "When I first went to Columbus, I promised my constituents that I would fight for lower taxes, limited government, and to end abortion. I will do the same in Washington." An early poll found Pat DeWine, a member of the Hamilton County Commission and the son of U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, with a significant lead: 42 percent for DeWine, 6 percent for Brinkman.[18]
Brinkman had a strong pro-life stance that was criticized by rival candidate Pat DeWine because he also opposed the death penalty - despite such opposition being seemingly more pro-life, as it is in accordance with the Consistent Life Ethic. One mailing from DeWine had a large, ominous photograph of a man in a ski mask pointing a gun directly at the viewer. The caption was "Tom Brinkman opposes the death penalty, even for child murderers, cop killers and terrorists who kill Americans." The mailing also stated "Tom Brinkman says he's a conservative but when it comes to the safety of our families, he doesn't stand with us" and that murderers "will get off easy if he casts the deciding vote." DeWine did not note that Brinkman's opposition to the death penalty was rooted in his pro-life beliefs. Automated calls were made by DeWine's campaign featuring Joe Deters, Hamilton County prosecutor. Deters in the recording stated:
In my career when I prosecute the worst of the worst like people who kill children, I believe the only appropriate punishment is the death penalty. Tom Brinkman is against the death penalty even for those vicious killers who prey on our kids, and he's even against the death penalty for terrorists who kill Americans. Our next congressman must go to Washington and fight to remove these murderers from society. Tom Brinkman will work to stop the death penalty just as he's done in Columbus. Pat DeWine believes these people should go. And that's one more reason I support Pat DeWine for Congress.
One of Brinkman's mailings said "Tom Brinkman believes all life is precious and must be protected. He has a 100% pro-life voting record." Brinkman's position was that he was "100% pro-life from conception to natural death." [19] While DeWine also stated his pro-life position, Brinkman noted on his web site "Because of [my] unwavering support of the Right to Life, from conception to natural death, Ohio Right to Life, Cincinnati Right to Life and Family First have again exclusively endorsed my election this year." [20] In an Associated Press article, Brinkman was quoted as putting it more simply, saying he was "pro-life all the way" [21].
Brinkman also complained about DeWine taking advantage of his father's name in raising money, but publicly distancing himself from his father's positions, such as Senator DeWine's role in the "Gang of 14" judicial filibuster compromise in May 2005 with six other mostly center-leaning Republicans and seven mostly center-leaning Democrats. "He seems to have no problems riding his father's coattails when it comes to raising money and getting name recognition; he's willing to take all the good from it and none of the bad." [22]
In one mailing to voters Brinkman did not mince words:
I am sick and tired of watching politicians promise to cut taxes in October—then raise them in March.
I have had it with candidates who campaign against big government and later give in to the money hungry bureaucrats.I will not tolerate ideologically bent liberals trying to shift our educational focus from English and math to 'safe sex' and homosexual acceptance. [His emphasis]
In another mailing, he declared "He meant what he promised. He promised what he meant. Brinkman is faithful 100% ... 100% Against Higher Taxes ... 100% Committed to Limited Government ... 100% Pro-life ... 100% Pro-Second Amendment ... 100% Attendance Record," the latter referring to his never missing a roll call vote in the Ohio House.
Brinkman was endorsed by the Ohio Taxpayers Association, the Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund, and was the National Right to Work Committee's 2005 state legislator of the year. The Anderson Township Republican Club ranked him "highly qualified".[19] The Cincinnati Enquirer endorsed Jean Schmidt, praising her record in the Ohio House, writing of her substantial record. Schmidt, said the Enquirer, the measures "successfully sponsored were remarkable in number and quality for a neophyte lawmaker". The paper contrasted her to Brinkman, who
- has kept close touch with people and has been conscientious in constituent service. We admire the consistency of the principles he operates under. But he has earned a reputation as one of Ohio's least effective legislators, too often an uncompromising, anti-any-tax "no" vote. It's hard to see how he could effectively serve this district [23].
Brinkman ran well in the June 14 primary but finished third behind former state representative Schmidt with 9,211 (20.3%) of the vote.
Brinkman had considered a challenge to Schmidt in the May 2006 primary but chose instead to run for re-election to the Ohio House.
In 2008, Brinkman declared his candidacy for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, challenging incumbent Schmidt. He lost in a landslide defeat to Congresswoman Schmidt.
Return to the Ohio House of Representatives[edit]
In 2014, Brinkman decided to run again for his former seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. However, incumbent Peter Stautberg did not want to give up his seat, so Brinkman opted to challenge him in the primary.[20] He would defeat Stautberg to take the seat. He won the general election easily to take the seat.

Six years later, the Big N is back with a new, more technically proficient console that supports high definition graphics and proves the company's savvy once again with the world's first touchscreen controller. While the general public is still clearly in the firm's sights, this time Nintendo appears to be returning to the serious gamer. Let's see if the Wii U has what it takes to meet the demands of two groups with very different desires.
Generous ProportionsResembling an outsized portable console, the Wii U GamePad is a sort of hybrid touchscreen tablet/game controller. But don't be fooled: while the touchscreen means the GamePad can be used as a standalone device without a TV, it won't function without the console, because that's where all the processing takes place. So it doesn't actually work as a portable device (see exceptions...) since you have to keep a wireless connection between it and the console. As we saw while testing the system, you can play up to 10 metres away, as long as there are no obstacles between the two devices, or in the next room if the walls aren't too thick or dense (a drywall partition will do). Beyond that, you start to lose the connection and your game pauses until you return within reach.
The first time you meet the Wii U GamePad, it's hard not to be struck by the size of the thing. It has the generous proportions of a device 25 cm wide, over 13 cm tall and 4 cm thick. And yet, it weighs only 500 grammes and fits comfortably in your hands. The weight is well distributed and your thumbs land right on the control sticks. And the ergonomic design makes the back just as well-suited to the human hand as the front.
Good ScreenWhile it clearly doesn't rival the PlayStation Vita's OLED screen, the Wii U GamePad's display nonetheless impressed us with its good viewing angles (it isn't TN), and a responsiveness and colour accuracy that we found entirely acceptable. But we'll still take a look with our sensor and magnifying glass in the coming weeks to give you a closer look. In the meantime, we can say that our subjective impression is entirely positive, even though the black depth could use some work.
854 x 480 resolution on a screen with a 6.2" (15.75 cm) diagonal gives a pixel density of 158 dpi, which is good for gaming, although once again the PS Vita beats it at 960 x 544 pixels for 221 dpi. The image isn't quite as detailed as when it's on a TV screen, but that's no surprise and it doesn't hinder the gameplay in any way. The resistive touchscreen recognises only one pressure point at a time (unlike the capacitive screens used in high-end smartphones, this is not a multi-touch screen). However, the sensitivity is excellent, similar to the DS and 3DS.
The Battery ProblemNintendo is advertising five hours of battery life. We found different. According to our measurements, the GamePad didn't last close to that long with ordinary playing. With the default settings (screen brightness at four out of five) and the volume up three-quarters of the way, the Wii U GamePad lasted just three hours and twenty minutes (3/5 ZombiU, 1/5 Nintendo Land and 1/5 navigating through the menus). If you turn on the energy saver and lower the brightness then you can get around four hours, but not much more.
It's really disappointing that Nintendo used a low capacity battery, but it's possible that at some point they'll offer a longer lasting one, because the battery compartment is only held closed with a two-screw mechanism. However, it's a shame it isn't a full-on removable battery system like you have on the Xbox 360, for example, which allows you to use a set of several batteries. To get around the issue there's an accessory brand that has already come up with a solution, as you can see below. Nintendo didn't authorise us to unscrew the cover, so here's a photo of iFixit doing it instead (image on left). What you see is a 1,500 mAh battery, which necessarily hardly cuts it for a device of this magnitude.
Sober, DiscreetNot only is the console small (268 x 172 x 46 mm and 1.6 kg), but it's quiet, too. We picked up 37.8 dB at one metre's distance and 36 dB at three metres' distance. You can hear the fan running, but it's much quieter than the PS3 and Xbox 360. When we put our sound level meter directly on the console the readings varied from 48 dB to 51 dB.
Even though it requires more ventilation than the Wii, the Wii U stays relatively cool and only consumes around 30 W while running. While playing ZombiU the console never even consumed 40 W, bringing the average to roughly 34 W. These are excellent readings, which are confirmed when you turn the console off, because it consumes nothing on standby (unlike other devices I can think of...).
A Menu Interface That Could Have Been FasterThe Wii U's interface looks a lot like the 3DS's. The menus and icons are displayed as boxes laid out on multiple pages. To start a game/app you just touch the icon like on a smartphone. The way the interface is set up would normally be perfect for providing speedy navigation through the menus, if only it didn't run so slowly. It takes twice as long to return to the main menu as on other HD consoles: 20 seconds. And it takes almost just as long to get to the settings menu. Let's hope Nintendo corrects this with an update. Startup is much more reasonable, however, with 23 seconds between the moment you press the button and the moment the home menu appears.
New Gaming PossibilitiesAs was the case with the Wii a few years ago, one of the Wii U's aspirations is to innovate and improve gameplay. And it's succeeding, at least based on the launch games we tried. ZombiU uses the GamePad controller to make the game more immersive, acting as a scanner and aiming device, thanks to the built-in gyroscope. You just point the GamePad to aim as you would on PS Vita or 3DS. The touchscreen can also become a secondary screen on which you manage your inventory, show maps, enter codes... it can even act as a sonar! Through the integrated speakers you can also listen to voice instructions straight from the controller. In short, there are tons of things that no longer need to take up space on your TV screen, even ones that you couldn't have at all without a second screen. We can't wait to see what ideas game developers come up with for the GamePad—especially since the games available now are only launch games that don't necessarily exploit the console's full potential.
The controller is also practical when playing local multiplayer because now you can play with five people in the same game—one person controls the GamePad while the others play on the TV.
Disappointing GraphicsNot only are the GamePad's functionalities only at the budding stage, but you could say the same about the graphics, which, truth be told, are a bit of a letdown. It isn't much of a step up from the Xbox 360 and PS3, which are already six years old. The Wii U is supposed to have similar architecture to the other current HD consoles, but it will be instantly outdated once Microsoft and Sony release their next consoles (in, erm, late 2013?). Of course, we don't doubt that publishers will find a way to make the most out of the system, and when all is said and done we do expect to see some beautiful games on the Wii U. But until then we'll have to make do with multi-platform games, which shouldn't particularly push developers to design gameplays specially for the Wii U.
Gamer Console or Noob Console?While Nintendo has been making concerted efforts to court the gaming community these past months and try and make them forget about the first Wii's focus on the general public, what's left to be seen is whether the console will indeed meet the demands of hardcore gamers. It's still too early to tell, but so far the Wii U looks as though it's off to a good start, considering the first batch of compatible multi-platform games, such as Assassin's Creed 3 and Darksiders 2, as well as the exclusive ZombiU. With its meagre graphics capabilities the Wii didn't see many games of this calibre, but the Wii U is an attempt to compete with the PS3 and Xbox 360, which still have quite a few games left in them. This should be incitation enough for developers to release Wii U-compatible games, although many of the planned 2013 releases haven't been announced for the new Nintendo yet. We'll have to wait and see if this holds true in the long run, when companies will be less inclined to develop games for the current HD consoles. At the end of the day, the Wii U has all the elements in place; now it's up to developers to learn how to put them to use.
By now Nintendo has realised that the family-oriented public is the Wii's real bread and butter. And they haven't forgotten the casual crowd this time, either, offering much more accessible group-fun games, such as Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U.
I Already Own an HD Console (Xbox 360, PS3). Should I Get the Wii U?To buy a Wii U today is to make a bet on the future. And who knows what that holds in store. On the one hand, the new touchscreen controller has fabulous potential that's just waiting to be exploited. On the other, the technical components appear to be similar to the current generation of competing HD consoles that launched six years ago.
As things stand, if you're a fan of Nintendo's homespun games (Mario, Zelda, etc.) then it isn't even a question—the Wii U is an excellent console, even if it has its flaws. Just know that it doesn't play Blu-rays or act as a jukebox. Nintendo apparently doesn't intend to follow Microsoft and Sony down that road. Considering the company's areas of focus, the Wii U should continue to shine at local multiplayer games, which will make it a good family console, like the first Wii.

The Land
Here's my review of the land at Epcot
Hi again Retrojunkers, Mcogfan with yet again another Epcot article.
Before I begin I just want to let you all know that I've getting some complaints from most of you about how I added too many pictures in the Energy article. I agree with all of you, I was gonna redo it remove most photos but it got posted before I could redraft it. The reason I do that is because I want to try and create the attraction so that you all can remember what it was once like, I guess if I do current attractions, I will add less photos since those are still up and running, and for the past ones I will add a little more but not a whole lot.
And now I would like to present the next attraction.
I never really cared much for this one, but after taking a biology class awhile back and thinking about recycling, I got interested. The land exhibit tells us how we can learn to respect and live with the land, it talks about man's relationship to nature and how we might improve it for future needs.
Once you make your way inside, you descend down into a food court area called farmers market, I think that's the name of it still but I'm not quite sure if it is. There are lots of things inside other than getting a bite to eat.
There is a boat ride that you can go on that shows you man's relation ship with nature. The first version was called "listen to the land" that has a wonderful theme song that I'm starting to remember.
Today, it's called living with the land and the theme song is gone but this version does have wonderful nature music, that's what I like about this version.
When we begin, In LTTL, (listen to the land), we see an array of illuminating plant life before us, our host tells us that this is man's harmony with nature; this part was called "symphony of the seed". I only saw this twice in my life, except what I can remember about it was our host said that this is the future of agriculture; a bit unusual for me to understand.
In LWTL, (living with the land), it's now a rainstorm and a female narrator tells us how it's violent force is part of the cycle of life.
That's about what's changed with this attraction, and now here's the rest.
We're taken through different landscapes, like the rainforest.
The scorching desert landscape.
And the old fashioned American prairie, complete with herd of buffalo, and a violent storm heading it's way.
We now make our way into a barn and to our left we see different films that show us how we are learning different to harvest crops. From there we enter the greenhouses. I think that there are three or four different types of greenhouses.
Inside, we see numerous types of crops being grown in the ground, some moved on conveyer belts, and there's even a place where they harvest fish. Most of the crops grown here are actually served in the restaurants all over Epcot, I sorta knew that at first. There's even a house where it demonstrates how crops are grown in outer space. I actually thought those were plants from outer space; I was young at the time so that's what I thought. Other than the boat ride, you can actually take a tour through the greenhouses as well, I never did that so I really didn't care for it that much.
We now conclude our boat ride and once we're out of the boat there are still other places to go.
There's a harvest theatre and it gives us a more in depth look at man's relationship with the land. There were two films that were shown in here; the first film was called Symbiosis, it tells about how man lives and takes from the land.
The second film is called Circle of life and it's exactly just like the previous film. Adult Simba, Timon and Pumba serve as our hosts. Timon and Pumba are building a resort but what they don't know is that they're harming the land, Simba tells them the story about how man does the same thing only forgets what happens if they keep it up.
In another part, there's this show called Kitchen Kabaret, which stars a different number of fruits and vegetables entertaining us about good nutrition. I never actually saw this show so don't know much about it.
Another show came along after that, it was called food rocks, I never cared much for this one as well, but the only thing I like about it was that in the preshow area, there were smell boxes that had different scents, I forgot which ones they were, that's not important to me. Another thing I remember was that the show was hosted a character named food wrapper, the character was voiced by Tone Loc. The whole show is a taken after a parody of bunch of famous bands that perform famous songs in a nutritious way.
And now, the best part of the land attraction to date; in Soarin, you fly all across California like you've never experienced. I went on this a long time ago and it was spectacular. I'm thinking about going back sometime this year, hopefully, I'll get to do it again but this time, I'll have a fastpass.
Once we reach the boarding area, our captain, Patrick tells us about the safety rules. I find him to be very funny. I felt like I've seen him before but I don't know where. Now we board and it's off we go.
I've never been to California before, so I don't know much about what we fly over, all I know is we start at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and end at Disneyland. It's been awhile so don't criticize me on that.
Well, I hope I did a real good job on this article than I did on the last one. Thanks, take care for now.

Plataforma SINC
Researchers from Murcia and Valencia (Spain) have recreated the palace that belonged to Ambassador Vich, a Gothic-Renaissance jewel that was demolished in the 19th Century. The technique, which uses historical and archaeological data of the building, can be utilised to learn more about other architectural monuments that have been destroyed.The ambassador to the Vatican during the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic and Charles I was Jerónimo Vich y Valterra. The Renaissance styles that this noble discovered in Rome were introduced by him in around 1527 in his Gothic palace in Valencia, transforming it into one of the first pure examples of Renaissance architecture in Spain. Unfortunately, as with so many other historic buildings, it was demolished during the 19th Century to be used as a building site.Now a team of researchers from the St. Anthony Catholic University of Murcia, the Polytechnic Universities of Cartagena and Valencia and the University of Murcia, have managed to bring the building back to life, at least virtually. The work has been published in the 'International Journal of Architectural Heritage'.The method involves compiling all the historical, literary and graphical documents about the monument as well as information obtained from archaeological remains. Unknown aspects are determined from information obtained from other similar buildings. And at the end all the information is used to create 2D and 3D computer graphics of the different parts of the building, by using graphic design and animation software."This methodology can be applied to other architectural structures that once existed to establish aspects such as the general characteristics of the building, its appearance or where its interior elements are situated, such as patios and staircases," the main author, Mercedes Galiana, from the St. Anthony Catholic University of Murcia, told SINC.For the palace belonging to Ambassador Vich, the demolition file from the end of 1859 was used, together with old drawings and photographs and the famous map of Valencia by Father Tosca. This documentation was used to establish the exact location in the neighbourhood of San Francesc and its architectural features.Today there are two buildings situated on the plot which was once occupied by the palace during the 16th Century. When one was demolished in 1999 archaeological remains were discovered which have also been used as a reference for the project. Structures of other palaces, such as the Almirante and En Bou in Valencia or the Roman Palma-Baldassini, helped with the deductive analysis to show how it changed from a Gothic palace to a Renaissance palace..Also, the artistic importance of the palace enabled its marble to be maintained to this day. Today the Renaissance building can be enjoyed once again, with its classic columns, capitals, arches, cornices and gables in Valencia's Museum of Fine Arts.
