in response to CiavashI'm also curious about this. I've got an old M-Audio FireWire unit that I hate (it's always been a pain to use) and would love to get something that works with less hassle. I'm also interested in switching to USB-2, because I plan on getting a new aluminum MacBook in the next month or two.
Pancenter Apr 17, 2009 12:02 AM
in response to CiavashUSB audio will never be as robust as Firewire, however... Edirol, Tascam and MOTU make some decent USB interfaces.
Look here for a listing.
Ciavash Apr 17, 2009 8:55 AM
in response to Pancenteri was looking at the tascam US-122L, it looks like it has everything i need, the phantom power (bc i have a audio-techniqua condenser mic. what do you think about that one? what would be the best one out of that list that is under $400 ?
Pancenter Apr 17, 2009 1:22 PM
in response to CiavashI can't give you any direct input on any of the USB interfaces except for the
original Tascam US-122.
Quite some time ago I purchased US-122 (came with Cubase recording software) that I used to record some school choir demos. It worked very well with both PC and Mac. Everything else audio I own is pro-level stuff and is either an internal card or Firewire.
All I can say is, do your homework, read all of the reviews, make sure you purchase for a reputable dealer with a return policy.
Available options would be
Tascam US-122L
Edirol UA-25EX
Presonus AudioBox
It doesn't say if the US-122L ships with any software, they usually do.
The Edirol does but it's all PC applications.
Ciavash Apr 18, 2009 10:01 AM
in response to Pancenterhmm, yeah ive been researching, its really hard to find a decent usb, compared to how many good firewire interfaces there are. the ****** part is i cant return my macbook to get a pro bc i bought it from the university store and they dont accept returns on macs for some reason, i just found this out.
so im a little let down on changing to firewire but how did the tascam interface sound? good quality? Was it pretty easy to set up and get working through garageband?
sorry for asking all of these questions, ive gone everywhere else and people just screw me over, u probably know more about interfaces than i do
Pancenter Apr 18, 2009 5:20 PM
in response to CiavashGoogle this:
Macintosh US-122L
You will see some problems, I don't know if they've been worked out yet.
Google the the other two, leave macintosh as the first search term followed by the interface.
Edirol UA-25EX
Presonus AudioBox
My feeling is that the Edirol is probably the best of the lot.
dazzer Apr 18, 2009 6:41 PM
in response to PancenterNI Audio Kontrol gets a lot of love on the Ableton forum (I use a MOTU Ultralite myself but obviously that's not an option for you).
Also, there was a deal as some US online seller that got you a free copy of NI's Massive synth with it, which sounds like a great deal to me.
Check it out.
Ciavash Apr 20, 2009 7:07 PM
in response to Pancenterokay so i went and returned my macbook and spent the extra money to get the 15 inch 2.4 ghz pro. I went and returned my M-Audio and got a Presonus Firebox. alot of people told me this was a good one, but i opened the box and there was no firewire cable that came with it.. guess i have to go get it myself, but i dont know what kind of cable to buy. i think its an 800? but im not sure. i know the firebox has 6 pins but what cable do i buy exactly?
Pancenter Apr 20, 2009 7:56 PM
in response to CiavashWhat!?! It should have come with a cable, call or go to the place of purchase.
Ciavash Apr 20, 2009 8:04 PM
in response to Pancenterthis is ridiculous... i just watched an unboxing on youtube and the first thing he pulled out was the firewire cable.. i dont know why but my luck keeps running into these things. they either pulled it out of the box or never put it in there at guitar center. im taking it back tomorrow morning and asking where the **** the firewire cable is.
that cable will work with the macbook pro? or do i have to get a different one?
Douglas McLaughlin Apr 21, 2009 1:36 PM
in response to Ciavash
that cable will work with the macbook pro? or do i have to get a different one?
The current MacBook Pros only ship with a FireWire 800 port (a more square port with 9 pins). I don't know about your device, but it probably has FireWire 400 (a more rectangular port with 6 pins). It is possible to buy a cable that has FireWire 400 on one end and FireWire 800 on the other like this:
Pancenter Apr 21, 2009 1:54 PM
in response to Douglas McLaughlinOr adapters like these, (first on the left.)
Ziatron Apr 21, 2009 2:27 PM
in response to Chris1973There are no decent USB audio interfaces.
FIREWIRE IS A MUST for audio. Unless you are positive you will never be recording more than one instrument at a time you should consider a Firewire multi-channel audio device. Some examples of when you might need such a unit include recording a jam session utilizing more than two mics or maybe recording a drum kit with more than two mics (common). A multi-channel device will allow for much more flexibility in the long run.
All of the below audio manufacturers released NEW Firewire ONLY equipment in 2008.
TC Electronic
There are no USB to Firewire adapters. (Desperate aluminum Macbook owners are looking, but it can't be done.) USB can not "keep up" with Firewire.
The NEW (early 2009) white Macbook has Firewire. (and the new NVIDIA graphics.)
kongnator Apr 21, 2009 2:39 PM
in response to Ziatronthat is not quite right ziatron!
the best USB audio interface is about to be released soon. its from RME, and by the bay there is a great motu USB interface too with multiple track-at-once recording.
so for all of you who keep saying firewire is the one and only PRO solution, please check out the link and also do some research for yourself how that machine exactly work and the performance claimed is achieved.
keep rocking! peace

Edward Cameron, PhD, Managing Director, Business for Social Responsibility
Dr. Edward
Cameron is a specialist in climate change and human rights with 20 years
of professional experience working with national governments,
international development agencies, global think tanks and with some of
the world's most recognized companies. Edward is Managing Director at
BSR, a global non-profit that works with 270 multinational corporations
to achieve a just and sustainable world. He leads BSR's climate practice
with the twin goals of driving aggressive greenhouse gas emissions
reductions commensurate with holding global mean temperature rises to
less than 2C above pre-industrial levels; and enhancing the adaptive
capacity of business and society in the face of inevitable climate
He also serves as Policy Director for the We Mean Business Coalition, an
unprecedented alliance of seven business-facing networks driving
private sector engagement with global climate change policy. Edward has
previously served with the World Resources Institute and the World Bank
during six years in Washington, DC; has been a Senior Advisor in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Maldives; and spent nine years
working in Brussels with the European Union. He holds a PhD in Social
Science, Economics and Business and has earned degrees in Ireland,
Belgium and Finland.
Climate change
poses significant and accelerating material risks for business and
society. Growing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
lead to global mean temperature rises and associated growth in a range
of hazards including extreme weather events, changes in water patterns,
sea-level rises, and acidification of the oceans. This in turn
exacerbates risks to business and society by threatening natural
resources, undermining ecosystem services, destroying livelihoods and
homes, and damaging vital infrastructure. On the other hand recent
global policy responses to climate change, notably the signing of the
landmark Paris Agreement in December, are creating new market
opportunities worth trillions of dollars for businesses willing to adopt
climate compatible products, services, and operations.
This talk will look at both the risks of climate change and how our
collective response to this risk can catalyze a thriving clean economy.
Edward Cameron will speak about the growing volume of action and
ambition in the private sector to understand risk and build climate
resilience and will explore how the Paris Agreement dramatically changes
the landscape for businesses operating in an increasingly globalized

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Gaming Laptop Review
Temperatures, Cooling and Noise
The MSI GT70 is a huge laptop. As such, it should keep temperatures and noise to a minimum. Even with all of the hardware stuffed into this laptop, the palm rests should remain cool to the touch.
As you can see, on the front of the system, we logged a maximum temperature of 91.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This high temperature was located right underneath the WSAD keys, which is bad news for gamers.
Moving around to the backside, temperatures were higher. The maximum observed temperature was 112 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperature was located right over the heatsink, which explains why the heat was concentrated there. Using the loaded system on your laptop would likely be uncomfortable.
The maximum observed GPU temperature was 92 degrees Celsius. The CPU reached a maximum of 92 degrees Celsius. The GPU was towards the top of its range of acceptable temperatures and was one of the hottest running systems in our chart. The CPU was much warmer than I'd like.
The MSI, despite running hotter that the ASUS, produced a sound level of 48 decibels in our measurement, making it one of the quieter machines we have tested, but not as quiet as the ASUS that was cooler running. Our measurement is taken in front of the laptop at roughly head level. For comparison, 30dB is a totally quiet night time in the desert, 40dB is whispering and 60dB is a normal conversation.

Wednesday, 18 June 2014 | MYT 8:22 PM
by terry daley
ROME (Reuters) - Sulley Muntari has signed a one-year extension to his contract with AC Milan, the Ghana midfielder agreeing to a deal that keeps him at the Serie A club until 2016.
"AC Milan communicates that Sulley Muntari has renewed his contract until June 30, 2016," the club said in a statement on Wednesday.
Muntari signed a permanent deal with Milan before the start of last season after joining on loan from local rivals Inter Milan in January 2012.
The 29-year-old scored five goals in 26 league appearance for Milan last season as the Serie A giants floundered, finishing in eighth place and missing out on European football for the first time since 1998. Muntari played the full 90 minutes in Ghana's dramatic 2-1 loss to the United States in a World Cup Group G fixture in Brazil on Monday, a match decided by a John Brooks header four minutes from time.

Fox has bought a pitch called Those Who Kill that's to be developed as a vehicle for Michael B. Jordan, the fast-rising star of Chronicle and the studio's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot.
The pitch, by video game scribe turned screenwriter T.J. Fixman (Ratchet & Clank), is described by Deadline as "an international Bad Boys," a reference to the 1995 action-comedy that starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Greg Berlanti will produce, with Kenny Goodman executive producing.
"Very excited about The Men Who Kill," Fixman wrote this afternoon on Twitter. "It's the kind of movie I've always wanted to write. Can't wait to tell you more about it."
The 27-year-old Jordan, who had roles on such television series as The Wire, All My Children and Friday Night Lights, made a splash in 2012 with Chronicle and last year with Fruitvale Station.

Venus flytrap inspires nanotechnology
A keen sensitivity to their environment allows venus flytraps to ensnare their insect meals. Gently graze their trigger hairs, and the carnivorous plants will clamp together their jawlike leaves. Such responsive behavior, which is intrinsic to natural systems, is becoming a key requirement for advanced artificial materials and devices, presenting a substantial scientific and engineering challenge. Materials scientists have now managed to replicate this acute environmental sensitivity on the nanometer scale ("Reversible Switching of Hydrogel-Actuated Nanostructures into Complex Micropatterns"). Dynamic control over the movement and orientation of surface nanofeatures at the micron and submicron scales may have exciting applications in actuators, microfluidics, or responsive materials.

Facebook prompts teenage pregnancies in Indonesia
Jakarta: A religious court official in Indonesia has blamed social networking site Facebook for a rise in teenage pregnancies and under-age marriages, a report said on Thursday.
Siti Haryanti, a secretary at the religious court in Mount Kidul, a town in Central Java, said young couples were having sex after meeting online and she had seen the number of under-age marriages increase in the past year.
"Many couples admitted they got to know each other through the site and continued their relationship until they got pregnant outside wedlock," Haryanti was quoted as saying by Antara state news agency.
"The site is easy to access even to the remote villages so intensive relationships caused many teenagers to get pregnant outside marriage," she said.
Haryanti said 130 under-age couples have sought marriage licences at the religious court this year compared to 120 couples in 2010.
The legal age for marriage in Indonesia is 16 years for women and 19 years for men.
A study by Yahoo! found that Indonesia is the largest and fastest growing online market in Southeast Asia, with online usage growth of 48 percent in 2010, compared to 22 percent in 2009.
Indonesia has more than 22 million Facebook users.

We recently released AWS CloudTrail integration with Logentries - and not surprisingly we've seen a significant uptick in adoption as one of our most popular integrations. My job as director of customer success is to make things as simple for our customers as possible. One question that consistently pops up, is how to collect AWS CloudTrail logs from multiple AWS regions.
We follow Amazon's best practices when it comes to integrating with, and receiving information from, CloudTrail. In short, this works as follows:
- When configuring CloudTrail, it will write events to a S3 bucket.
- You can configure Cloudtrail to send notifications to an Amazon SNS topic whenever new log events are recorded.
- You can get updates sent to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue, which enables you to handle these notifications programmatically.
- To configure Logentries to consume your Cloudtrail logs, simply add the URL of the SQS queue to the Logentries/Cloudtrail setup page.
Logentries speaks directly to the SQS queue inside of your AWS account, so an obvious question that presents itself is: If I'm running in multiple AWS regions, how do I get Logentries to pull from all of the regions?
The simple answer: you don't. Make AWS do the work for you!
Following the steps outlined below, you'll be able to monitor and analyze CloudTrail logs from any number of AWS regions all within one Logentries account.
Create an S3 Bucket
If you're new to the CloudTrail setup, the first requirement of CloudTrail logging is that the logs must go "somewhere." In AWS, this somewhere happens to be a S3 bucket which you should create. Simply navigate to the S3 service and select 'Create Bucket'. By default, all permissions required are given to the bucket - i.e. there is no extra permissions/configuration necessary to configure CloudTrail logging with Logentries.
Create an SQS Queue in a Primary Region
Next up, we need to create an SQS Queue to allow Logentries to consume your CloudTrail data. Create a new Queue and provide a 'Queue Name' - default options are fine.
Add permissions to the SQS Queue
Once the queue has been created, the correct permissions must be applied. When adding permissions to the SQS queue, you need to add your full account number/name (officially called the AWS User ARN).
To get the User ARN navigate to the IAM Service, select the user that you want to utilize and click 'Summary'. When the user is created within the IAM section, make sure that the user has at least 'Read-Only' access - so that the user has the relevant permissions to read the bucket. The string you need is available under User ARN in the 'Summary' section and follows this format:
Next add 'Receive', 'Send', and 'Delete' Actions to the SQS Queue(see below):
Enable CloudTrail in any region, and publish to an SNS topic
Once the above three steps have been complete, it's time to enable CloudTrail in the relevant regions. Navigate to the CloudTrail Service in your AWS Console and turn on CloudTrail. Do not create a new S3 bucket, but instead select the S3 Bucket created in step one above from the drop down menu. Once you've done this, click the Advanced link. For the first region you enable CloudTrail for, remember to include Global Services under Advanced options - this record API calls from any global AWS services such as IAM or AWS STS. Make sure that "SNS Notification for every log file delivery" is checked, and finally, specify a SNS Topic to publish to. A new SNS topic name should be given - and will be created by CloudTrail.
Follow these above steps for each region that you want to collect CloudTrail logs from. NOTE: when adding subsequent regions you will want to exclude Global Services to avoid duplicate log events being recorded for your Global Services.
Subscribe the SQS Queue to the multiple SNS topics
Once each region has been setup, the last step in AWS is to subscribe your SQS Queue to each newly created SNS topic. Navigate to the SQS Service in your AWS Console and highlight the queue created in step 2 above. Under the 'Queue Actions' menu at the top select 'Subscribe Queue to SNS Topic'. Use the 'Topic Region' drop down to select the region and the 'Choose a Topic' drop down to select the topic created in the previous step. Hit the 'Subscribe' button and wait for the confirmation that the queue has subscribed to that topic.
After selecting subscribe make sure to copy the SQS URL from the 'Details' section on the page.
Setup Logentries to Pull data from the SQS Queue
Login to your Logentries account and navigate to your AWS settings area (My Account -> AWS). Select enable CloudTrail, supply your IAM access key, secret key, and SQS URL that you have copied above. Hit Save! Note: your IAM access key and secret key are made available to your when you create a new IAM user and should be stored safely.
Log Data from CloudTrail will begin to stream in within approximately 15 minutes.
Sit back and let Logentries do it's magic!
Visit our CloudTrail documentation to see some of the other cool things you can do - in particular we provide out of the box tags and alerts for important CloudTrail events. Have questions or ideas how we can make our CloudTrail integration better? Reach out to me directly at [email protected].

Dear friends,
It seems to me, the invisible hand is much preferable to the iron fist. The new class however, believe just the opposite, that self interest can be replaced with the lash to motivate the people. Arguments can be made for both sides, the one that poor performers will become good performers, when motivated by physical pain, and the other that the human want to get ahead will drive people to perform well. The new class, being trained by academia who's motivations, world view and personal history is outside the norm. As such the new class sees the world through a very different lens than those not in the new class. Of course, not all members of the new class have incorporated the propaganda into their psyche, but most have. That is why so many, especially economists, (who's science was invented by Adam Smith and therefore get their authorization from him), consider Adam Smith's invisible hand to be fiction, to the detriment of humanity as a whole.
Those in academia that train the new class live in a different world than the rest of humanity. Their ideas don't have to be tested in the crucible of reality, they need not give actual value for their labor and they live in a cloistered world. The result has been an academic class who's ideas have become ever more disconnected from reality. Up to ninety percent of academics are socialists and the top echelon are outright Marxists and anarchists. When confronted with the real world results of socialism, they respond in one of two ways, real Marxism has never been tried, or the wrong people were in charge. Their ideas need not comport with history, reality or even humanity, their ideas are based in the logic of ideas, which as Hegel said, in logic, if a pen is held in the air and let go, it need not drop… that past experience doesn't necessarily predict future results.
So the new class, is inculcated with ideas that need not necessarily rely on past experience to predict the results of their actions, and so, given their position in society as the executives of our corporations, media moguls, Presidents, Legislators, judges, lawyers and doctors, in short the leaders of our society, their personal views differ from the common man's. They seek to use human labor to their own ends, be it corporate profit, maintaining political power, enhancing their pay, or simply continuing the status quo. Since the advancement of the human condition, as they see it, is their bailiwick, the rest of us are merely here to serve their wants. As such they believe that whatever motivation to labor is used, all that counts is that the unproductive be forced to be productive. Given their world view, hubris and power, the iron fist is far more effective than self interest.
I, however, as I said in my first sentence, am of the opinion that all people benefit when self interest is the primary motivation for human endeavor. While the lash is a powerful incentive to labor, it creates a strong resentment to the person holding the whip. That resentment then causes the labor to be undermined by the laborer. While it is true, a slave can be forced to work him or herself to death by the lash, (as has been proven throughout history), they will not willingly help their master improve the efficiency of the process, lower the input cost or improve the product. The resentment that builds up when the lash is used prevents that. Human nature being what it is. Moreover, the iron fist discounts the very real probability of societal, economic, cultural or technological advancement originating from those not in the new class.
Economists should know this as a matter of course. After all, it was Adam Smith, the founder of the science of economics that explained this paradigm far better than I could, hundreds of years ago. Their authority is based on his work, but the science of economics has moved away from empirical reality to the desires of the new class. Marx, Rousseau, John Maynard Keynes, Veblen and others gave the new class a theory that fed their egos and hubris. They taught that self interest as a motivator of humanity is flawed and that the new class can plan an economy far better. The planned economy only requires as a motivator, the iron fist, to bring even the lowest producers into production. Of course they couldn't tell labor their true intentions, labor would have rebelled aught, so they usurped the motivations of labor to enslave it. That is why those who seek to use the lash as a motivator of men and women, always talk about equality and fairness, to fool the average woman and man into believing theirs is the cause for which the statist is fighting.
Those wielding the whip never taste it's bite, and so see no problem with it's use, those who feel the sting however, understand the evil of it. The new class has no worry about the hoi polloi wielding the lash against them, the new class are the leaders and so only see the results second hand, in the labor that it inspires. The new class has no need of competition from the masses for their position in society, and the iron fist is the best means to both achieve good productivity from labor, while at the same time insuring their continued place. The new class seeks low cost, high efficiency and submission from those that work for them, while at the same time, high wages, power and prestige for themselves.
So there it is, one of the primary differences between a socialist and a capitalist, is the means to motivate people to work. The socialist believing the lash as the best motivator of people while the capitalist is of the opinion that self interest works best. Adam Smith, Mises, Hayak and many others fall into the latter category. Their philosophy however dis-empowers the new class, it teaches the planned economy itself is flawed, and therefore is an anathema to the new class. The new class is egoistically self interested, forswearing the good of mankind for their own narrow good, and so the iron fist is to them the ideal means to motivate people. What do you believe, is the iron fist the best motivator of people, or self interest? Your answer shows who you are.

Brea students make a dog's day
The smiles – even the dog's – told the story.
Excitement was the word while students at Olinda Elementary School in Brea waited Thursday for Homer to arrive.
Jody Ralyea, Homer's owner, drove to the school from Agoura Hills to receive gifts the students had made and donated for the dog after hearing his story.
The school's student council members "were talking about giving," said Stacy Yoder, the school's administrative assistant and student council adviser.
"Don't forget the animals!" she told them.
The kids were eager to help. So, she told them about Homer.
Homer popped up on Facebook in September, a sad-faced chow mix sitting in a Los Angeles shelter, looking for all the world as if he hadn't a prayer.
He might not have, if not for Leave No Paws Behind. The Burbank-based rescue group, which specializes in saving old and sick dogs facing sure death in shelters, took Homer in and matched him with a foster home.
"My vet told me he likely had lived outside his whole life," said Toby Wisneski, the group's founder. The vet called Homer's story one of "a pure case of starvation" and "absolute neglect," Wisneski said.
But Homer thrived in his foster home. Unfortunately, his foster dad was in the military and would get called out of town for days at a time. Everyone felt Homer needed more stability.
Enter Ralyea. She had taken Homer's picture at the shelter and had followed his story. She offered to foster, Wisneski said.
Soon, Ralyea realized Homer "needed to be in my home."
She officially adopted Homer about three weeks ago, not long after she had to put her beloved boxer to sleep.
"I was not going to get another dog for a while," she said. "But when the need is there ... "
The need, as far as Homer is concerned, has been met. He entered the school all smiles and wagging tail, and sat patiently while the children met him one by one.
And he sat patiently on the blanket the kids had made while they surrounded him and joined them in smiling for the camera.
Just another day in a happy dog's life.

Graffiti, crime and anti-social behaviour are likely by-products of the proposed Basin Reserve flyover, concerned residents have warned.
"A flyover anywhere in a central city can only degrade the surrounding areas ... If it conforms to the norm it will become a taggers' delight, a rubbish collection area and a refuge for the homeless," one person said in a submission to the New Zealand Transport Agency.
The concerns are revealed in a summary of community engagement on the proposed changes for the stretch of State Highway 1 from Cobham Dr to Buckle St, released by the agency last month.
The project includes two options for a proposed flyover around the Basin Reserve.
Option A is a $75 million bridge about 20 metres to the north of the Basin Reserve, while Option B would cost $90m and be 65m north of the Basin.
There were 2137 submissions on the proposals, and within those 13,000 comments were made about the flyover options.
Despite the feedback, no figures were available on how many people supported each option, Wellington State Highways manager Rod James said. The aim was to get "detailed feedback", not a vote on the options.
"Rather than running a simple poll, we asked submitters to describe to us what they liked and didn't like about the proposals. This information has proved valuable because of the strong level of detail and reasoning it provided us."
Among the concerns raised were about 300 comments on what would happen underneath a flyover, with worries it would become a "dead space" that would be "unsafe to the public".
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said those were legitimate concerns, and NZTA now had to try and come up with an option that was both "attractive and affordable".
"We have all seen some most unattractive underneaths of motorways and flyovers. It's not hard to find ugly, bad examples."
The feedback highlighted the importance of the area to Wellington, and showed that NZTA needed to be sensitive to that when making its final decisions about which option to pursue, she said.
Within the feedback, there was a clear division over why people supported Option A or B. Those that supported Option A liked it because it was cheaper.
However, the visual impact on the Basin Reserve was a main motivator for those that supported B, because they liked its greater separation from the stadium.
"Submitters who commented on the visual effects on the Basin Reserve rarely supported Option A," the report said.
Basin Reserve Trust member John Morrison, a city councillor and former test cricketer, has previously said that, if a flyover went ahead, Option B was preferred because it would have less impact on the reserve. "We have maintained throughout that [the trust's] job in life is to maintain the integrity of the Basin Reserve as an international cricket ground."
The trust was now waiting to hear how NZTA would take those concerns on board.
The consultation also covered the realignment of Buckle St about 10 metres to the north, a second Mt Victoria Tunnel, and widening of Ruahine St.
- Finalise preferred options, including some design work, by midyear.
- Lodge resource consent applications for the Basin Reserve area early 2013 and the Mt Victoria Tunnel later that year.
- These are expected to be considered by a board of inquiry.
- Construction begins 2014-15 on the Basin Reserve area.
- The Option A flyover's lower price tag is the main appeal for supporters. Those living nearby were more likely to support this option because it would require less land and be further from houses.
- Visual impact, noise and pollution for the Basin Reserve were the main issues for those who supported Option B, because it was further away from the reserve.
- There was "widespread" support for pedestrian and cyclist facilities on both bridge options, with some submitters describing the idea as "a no-brainer".
- Most submitters support an alternative to shifting Buckle St 10 metres north, with most suggesting a tunnel.
- Any pedestrian and cyclist facilities through a second Mt Victoria tunnel should be separate from the traffic.
- People generally supported widening Ruahine St for better traffic flow – but people are concerned about intersection changes.
- There were also 1500 comments on Option X, an estimated $165m project put forward by the Architectural Centre during the consultation period, involving a "cut and cover tunnel" from Sussex St to Taranaki St.
- NZTA has rejected this option due to the feasibility, cost and engineering issues, the report says.
