When a major earthquake hit Haiti in January, two University of Florida graduate students, Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin, were in a small town not far from the epicenter, shooting footage for their master's thesis about two aid workers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For U.S. universities interested in internationalizing their campuses, China is the promised land. Almost invariably, as part of their internationalization strategies, U.S. universities have sought to develop exchange agreements, dual or joint degree options, and/or short-term study abroad programs in this country of more than a billion people. They've even tried to open branch campuses, albeit without much success.

People are afraid to get involved. You may be sued, arrested and in a case like this called a racist.

Comedian, look it up. Progressives are saying that there is something wrong with Gays and transgendered. Hear any hypocrisy. A Joan Rivers idea of a wild Saturday Night; a bucket of chicken a box of tooth picks and getting together with a friend and trying to re-assemble the bird. She is still funny.

OK! you're furious; so now what are you going to do about it? We citizens are as well. The U.S. has an immigration system that is not to bad. So, what's the problem? Simple, their gov't is more corrupt than ours when that changes and that seems not to far off as in ours becomes more corrupt we will be jumping the border. Those bug out bags the sell all the preppers, now ever one will want one. Call them border freedom bags.

Kerry is ignorant. The rebels were losing, gassed themselves, U.S. blames Assad U.S. attacks Assad weakening his forces and the rebels made up of extremist U.S. hating Islamists are back in the battle. Not that Assad is any U.S. lover BUT the lesser of two evils? Also Russia Iran support Assad? Poor old senator McCain was saying we should give the rebels surface to air missiles. Hay they got the Russians out of Afghanistan with them Russian helicopters didn't stand a chance and neither would Assad's and when they ended up in Afghanistan neither will ours and my Granddaughter will be flying one. As for the gas the U.S. gave gas to Iraq to kill Iranians, didn't wont to get caught with the WMDs so off to Assad and along the way Brotherhood associates helped themselves. The extremists have used this tactic before.

What the Republicans must do is, more clearly define their remarks. Go beyond the name calling. DON'T DO IT. Get to the inspiration of the name call. The WHY i'm saying xxx is. Or don't even get into xxx, just express the inspiration. EXAMLE: C C is a fat hog, but kissing the skinny O. WRONG. EXAMPLE: C C gave way to much attention to O who has been proven to rarely follows through. He constantly tells people what he thinks they what to hear. C C ends up contributing to and being part of the overall disappointment of his constituents. It' short term thinking and shooting from the hip is not what you want as a PRESIDENT in 2016 or any other time.

Prep sports wrap: Beamer's Carpio pins down coveted wrestling titles
Todd Beamer High School freshman wrestler Ares Carpio had quite a Christmas break.
The wrestler won a pair of prestigious tournament titles for the Titans. Carpio snared the 112-pound title at the Pacific Coast Wrestling Championships at Hudson's Bay High School in Vancouver Saturday and the individual title at the Rogers Holiday Tournament on Dec. 27 in Puyallup.
Carpio's championship at the Pacific Coast tournament was the most impressive of the two. The ninth-grader downed Deer Park High School's Blake Adams in the championship match, 13-11. The Pacific Coast Wrestling Championships included 34 teams from Washington and Oregon.
Carpio's first-place finish helped Beamer finish in ninth place as a team. Graham-Kapowsin won the team title with 201.5 points, followed by Deer Park (178.5) and Tahoma (172). Decatur ended up in 16th place.
Carpio pinned Columbia River's Zach Finchum in just 32 seconds in his tournament opener and followed that up with a 3:40 pin of Enumclaw's Marcus Nichols in the second round. Carpio then beat Rogers' Tyler Carlyle in the quarterfinals, 12-4, and downed Heritage's Clint Powers, 10-4, to earn a berth into the final match.
At the Rogers Holiday Tournament, Carpio beat Curtis' Cort Schatz, 8-5, in the championship match, after preliminary-round wins over Nichols and Bellarmine Prep's David Ladenburg.
Beamer's Trevor Mills joined Carpio on top of his weight class at the Rogers Holiday Tournament. Mills won the 135-pound title with a victory over Rogers' Bobby Hawkins in the championship, 6-2.
Mills also finished second at 130 pounds at the Pacific Coast Wrestling Championships. He lost to Gresham's (Ore.) John Reese in the title match, 4-2, after two shutouts and a pin in his first three matches.
The Decatur Gators had a pair of wrestlers finish in third place in Vancouver in defending state heavyweight champion, Tevyn Tillman, and 189-pounder Darren Faber.
Tillman was pinned by Jefferson (Ore.) High School's Jacob Mitchell in the semifinals. Mitchell went on to win the 285-pound championship.
Faber easily won his first three matches of the tournament before losing to Auburn's Jake Swartz in the semifinals, 10-2. Faber went on to beat Graham-Kapowsin's Shayne Erickson and Emerald Ridge's Mitch Steed in the consolation bracket to secure third place.
Girls basketball
Things couldn't have gone much better for the Federal Way Eagles during an 80-24 blowout win over the Todd Beamer Titans Saturday night — especially during the third quarter.
The Eagles held the Titans scoreless during the eight-minute quarter and outscored Beamer 25-0 during the period. The win improved Federal Way to 5-3 overall and the loss dropped the Titans to 1-6.
The Eagles jumped all over Beamer in the first quarter, rolling to a 21-8 lead. Federal Way extended the lead to 39-14 at halftime before the shut out in the third quarter.
The Eagles had five players score in double figures and had 11 players score during the game. Sophomore Tyshana Burgess led Federal Way with 14 points. Darah Huertes-Vining chipped in 13, Jacqie Evenson finished with 12 and Brittany Barrington and Chantel Dixon both scored 11 points each.
Beamer was led by 10 points from sophomore guard Shyla Akins.
Jefferson improved to 7-1 on the year with a non-league win over Curtis Saturday, 68-40.
The Raiders got 19 points from junior Hannah Kiyohara and 16 points from senior Stacy Albrecht during the win. Jefferson outscored Curtis 21-6 in the first quarter and led 35-17 at halftime.
Boys basketball
The Thomas Jefferson Raiders suffered a non-league loss Saturday to Chief Sealth High School, 59-50, in West Seattle. The loss dropped the Raiders to 4-3 overall.
Jefferson held a one-point lead at halftime, 27-26, but Chief Sealth outscored the Raiders, 21-13, in the third quarter.
Jefferson was led by the 17 points of senior point guard Cramer Doughty. Junior guard Justin Lanier chipped in 13 points and Xavyr Moss finished with eight points.

Daily papers transform Myanmar news stands
By Hla Hla Htay ,AFP
April 2, 2013, 12:16 am TWN
YANGON, Myanmar -- Privately owned daily newspapers hit Myanmar's streets Monday for the first time in decades under new freedoms that represent a revolution for a media industry which was shackled under military rule.
Four Burmese-language titles — The Voice, The Golden Fresh Land, The Union and The Standard Time — made the transition from weeklies as new rules came into effect that swept away state media's long monopoly on daily printing.
"We prepared for about six months to become a daily newspaper. We wanted to be part of this historical milestone," Aung Soe, an editor of The Voice, told AFP.
Newsstands in Yangon reported an early morning rush by readers eager to witness the latest sweeping change in the country also known as Burma.
"The Voice daily sold out soon after it arrived even though I ordered double the amount than other newspapers. People are keen to read private daily newspapers for the first time," said vendor Phyu Phyu.
Myanmar's public has become accustomed to an increasingly boisterous media since the country's quasi-civilian government relaxed its grip on the press after coming to power in 2011 and introduced other wide-ranging reforms.
Military rulers had seized control over private daily papers in 1964, according to veteran journalist Thiha Saw of Open News weekly.
Under junta rule, even an implied mention of the democracy movement and its figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi could have landed reporters in prison, but the Nobel laureate is now in parliament and regularly appears in the papers.

I have been in every Spa in Asheville. Literally. I have stress related muscular problems, and the only relief is from massage. This spa is awesome. The Therapist are very knowlegable. The Spa is absouletly hands down, the nicest spa in the Asheville Area. I have been to the Grove Park Inn, and their spa, (pools are beautiful) but their treatment rooms, and the environment are no where close to this spa. They offer many different treatments, and have something for everyone. If you want to sit in Sauna, Steam Room, you can come early, or stay later and work out in an incredible fitness facility. I just love this place. I am a local, and have been in many world class spas, in Mexico, Singaphore, and this Spa is up there with every 5 * I have visited. Cynthia

My massage therapist is a genius! He has done amazing work! He is able to manipulate my tense muscles to expel all the knots I've caused due overworking my legs and flutes in my bike. Thankfully, he is very patient in coaching my some breathing techniques to enhance my deep tissue experience. Thank you Daniel, for taking great care of me! I always come in an a knotted ball, but walk out feeling healed, relaxed and sleep like a baby after working with you.
I am a local resident. I frequent Spas in Region 2 times monthly. This Spa is my favourite. Kelly, the MT has definetly got a Divine Touch. She found every knot without me telling her where I hurt. Even was able to do Kenisio Taping on a my hand where I had surgery, which greately helped reduce the swelling.... Very Very beautiful decor and peaceful atmosphere. My favorite. Cynthia

Iowa State women's basketball team (3-0) is in Des Moines to take on Drake (2-2) at 2 p.m Sunday in the Knapp Center, having won its last three against the Bulldogs.
The Cyclones are coming off a road win at Cincinnati while Drake has wins over Creighton and South Dakota, the latter coming in overtime.
The Bulldogs are led by 5-foot-5 junior guard Kyndal Clark, who is averaging 16.5 points per game, including a game-high 26 against South Dakota. Although Drake will want to run the motion offense, Clark has taken over 23 percent of the teams shots so far this season. Besides shooting the ball, she will also look to drive to the hoop and draw contact as she's been to the free throw line 33 times this season (shooting .636), more than double anyone else on the team.
"The thing we notice with Drake right off the back is that they don't have a lot of size but they are very interchangeable and have a lot of kids that can score it," Iowa State head coach Bill Fennelly said after speaking with the media Friday afternoon. "They run a unique system with a lot of motion and switch every screen, which we don't see a lot. They have the capability of [having] a lot of different players scoring. Obviously Clark is the one that has jumped off the page as far as her numbers, but historically when we play Drake there has always been someone that hasn't been a great scorer that [finds a way to] score against us. It's a big game. These in state games on the road are always hard. The Knapp Center is a great place to play, and I'm sure both teams will be ready to go."
Guarding Iowa State's Hallie Christofferson will be split between Drakes two forwards — junior Liza Heap and senior Morgan Reid. Both are only 6-foot and will yield three inches to the unanimous preseason All-Big 12 First team selection Christofferson, who is averaging a team high 27.3 points and 10 rebounds. The Bulldogs' Morgan is averaging 8.0 points and 7.3 rebounds and is aggressive on defense with a team-high five blocks and nine steals.
"Our team is learning how to take care of the ball better and adapting to the rules," Fennelly said. "But we've had a lot of bad memories there. I have always said since I've been at Iowa State, that the in state games are the hardest ones on the schedule, [and those games] on the road are even harder. It's a different mindset by everyone. /p>
"I think we learn a lot more Sunday. How will be handle adversity? How do we handle being in an uncomfortable situation? This will be like a Big 12 road game in the sense of the mood and the energy. We've got two good days of practice ahead of us to get ready."

Arizona received 30 of 32 first-place votes in the coaches' poll, with Ohio State and Syracuse receiving one each.
In the AP poll, Arizona is the first AP No. 1 team from the Pac-12 since 2006 and this is the 30th week in its history that Arizona has been the AP No. 1.
The Wildcats were last ranked No. 1 in both the AP and USA Today polls on March 10, 2003 and actually held the top spot for 13 weeks that season.
"I think it reflects the quality of our program, the incredible atmosphere that we have in McKale, the great teams and players of the past, and certainly this year's team," Arizona head coach Sean Miller said.
"To be ranked No. 1 is maybe the greatest compliment that you can have."
Arizona will now look to defend its number one ranking starting Wednesday with a home game against New Mexico State.

15 Useful Batch Image Processors
- By Glen Stansberry
- October 2nd, 2008
- 119 Comments
Whether you're a Web developer, Web designer or blogger, you've probably had to deal with the headache of converting many images to different sizes and formats. It's not much fun if you have to convert all of them by hand. Batch image processing can reduce this process from hours of work to just a few simple clicks.
With batch image processing, you can specify a size or file type, and then a script runs to convert the images. You can process hundreds or thousands of images with just a few clicks. And nearly every image processor comes with a unique feature set.
Many of the articles here on Smashing Magazine have screenshots that have to be resized and configured to fit within the website's layout. We use batch image processors to quickly resize all of the screenshots and larger images that we feature in the articles.
Types of Batch Processors Link
Batch image processors usually come with some very standard functions:
- Resizing images,
- Scaling images,
- Converting to different image formats.
Some image processors also perform some advanced functionality, such as graphic editing (rotating, blurring, borders, adding watermarks), and some can even create slideshows, display other types of multimedia and perform other advanced functions.
Image processors are worth their weight in gold if you're a designer or developer spending a good chunk of time converting images by hand in Photoshop. Let's take a look at 15 useful batch image processors for both Mac and PC.
ResizeMe Link
ResizeMe1 is a batch image processor for Mac users. ResizeMe is simple and sleek, a no-frills application. It was created using the Cocoa framework, so it really feels like a Mac application.
With scaling you can create thumbnails for your website, decrease the file size of your photos, or resize your images to fit a certain size. If your images are all in portrait-mode, but you need landscape or you want to add a new angle to your photos, ResizeMe offers rotation effects as well. You can also batch flip your images horizontally and vertically.
The software gets the job done and does it well. You can download a free 10-day trial or purchase the software for $19.95.
Use Photoshop CS3 to Batch Convert Images Link
Adobe Photoshop is far and away the most popular image processor for designers, so some might prefer the option of using the native tools provided by Photoshop. Photoshop comes with many advanced features, and one of them is the ability to batch convert image files. According to the Photoshop documentation2, it's as simple as choosing either:
- File > Scripts > Image Processor (Photoshop) or
- Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor (Bridge),
and then selecting the images or file that you want to convert. Once you've selected them, select a location where you would like to save the files, select the file types you'd like to convert to along with any other configuration options and click "Run."
You can read more about batch image processing at the Adobe website3.
Advanced Batch Converter (Win) Link
Advanced Batch Converter4 is a Windows-only program that can convert images to over 120 different file formats on the fly and can convert over 25 different types of images. Aside from the ability to convert images, the software can also do basic photo editing, such as cropping and resizing images. There is a 30-day free trial, and after that the software costs $49.95.
Irfran View (Win) Link
Irfran View5 is a freeware application for Windows users. Aside from converting images, Irfran View has many unique features6, like a multimedia player, hotkeys, and many more. Infran View also allows you to extend the software by using plug-ins7.
DBP – David's Batch Processor (Linux, Mac OS X, Win) Link
David's Batch Processor8 is a Gimp plug-in that performs batch editing functions on images. Instead of having to download a separate program, Gimp users can simply call the plug-in from within Gimp. The user simply selects the images that he or she wants to resize and creates a quick ruleset that will process the images.
However, the plug-in is only intended to resize RGB images, not indexed images. The plug-in is licensed under the open-source GPL license.
FotoBatch (Win) Link
FotoBatch9 is a quick Windows batch photo processor that offers all of the basic photo editing capabilities and additionally some nifty features. You can create scripts so that all of your images have the same enhancements and adjustments made to them. The tool offers over 30 imaging functions such as resize, rotate, blur, add border, text watermark, image feather, etc. The tool offers batch conversion, can be integrated in context menus and can generate slideshows and PDF-files.
A user license costs $39.95, but you can try the software first with a 15-day trial.
Image Converter.EXE (Win) Link
Image converter.exe10 is a free image converter that is set up slightly differently than other batch processors in that it offers a Conversion Wizard. The Conversion Wizard allows users who don't have much experience with batch image processing to quickly and easily convert and rename images.
EasyBatchPhoto (Mac) Link
EasyBatchPhoto11 is a fast and responsive batch image processor for the Mac. EasyBatchPhoto can easily watermark images as well, which is a function that many image processors don't have.
The tool takes care of many repetitive tasks by processing images with a single drag-and-drop. A single license costs $24.
Using Automator on a Mac Link
If you're a Mac user, you can batch edit images using a program that comes bundled with OS X: Automator12. Automator essentially allows you to create tiny applications for specific purposes, and you can create one of these applications just for resizing images. eHow has an excellent tutorial13 on how to create an Automator action that resizes, names and saves your images to a folder, without having to open Photoshop.
Sizerox (Mac) Link
With Sizerox14 you can drag and drop images or folders into a simple graphical interface, and it will convert the images quickly and rename them if you'd like. You can use Sizerox to resize, rename, crop, rotate and watermark hundreds or thousands of images with a single Drag-and-Drop.
Sizerox uses Apple Quicktime to save the resized images, so the quality of the resized images is high. You can also use the Renamer engine to rename the images while resizing them. Because the software costs only $10, it won't break the bank either. It's simple, yet effective.
QuickScale (Mac) Link
QuickScale15 is another Mac-only application that is simple and easy to use. Like photo Drop, QuickScale has the ability to create "droplets" (saved resize presets). It may not have as many features as some other batch image processors, but it has all of the basics and has a short learning curve. It's perfect for the user who only needs basic batch image processing functionality. A license for QuickScale costs $15.
FastStone Photo Resizer (Win, free) Link
FastStone Photo Resizer16 is a fairly robust image processor. The software is free for home users and runs on the Windows platform. It offers a nicer graphical interface than some of the other image processors and also supports droplets.
The tool can convert and rename images in batch mode, resize, crop, change color depth, apply color effects, add text, watermark and border effects and rename images with a sequential number.
Pixillion Image Converter (Win, free) Link
The Pixillion Image Converter17 can convert just about any image file type, including PDF. It has a few nice features that other batch image processors don't have, like allowing you to right-click an image and resize it from anywhere. Pixillion is a free application for Windows users. (al)

I didn't get much from this movie.
--- The animation for the humans is way too robotic. All tweened not very well.
-- The two starting scenes are a bit plain. I'd have liked more detail in the scene with the plane. Maybe lighting or a nicer bg.
+++ Some nice art. Some of the faces were nicely drawn.
+ I like putting forward the notion of war resulting in the meaningless loss of lives. This did that do a slight extent, but the addition of the robot meant it lost much of its current-affairs relevancy.
I didn't get much from this movie. I have no problem with it being short. I just have a problem with the feeling that it's intended as mainly a graphical showcase when your graphics aren't amazing (yet).
Aspects were stunning
Parts of this were fantastic - other bits were pretty so so. Machine guns jumping in motionless arms etc, pretty halfassed. The figures moved really disjointedly - reading the reviews while it loaded I was expecting a short but perfect movie - but there's just too many unrealistic movements in the men! The graphics you did do were pretty good on the whole - but since there's only two sides to everything - front on and sideways - it radiates the limited imagination of a young kid - that or a halfassed effort. Colours were very nice though, some blurs and things were great - clearly you've got the skill, just gotta keep that interest in long enough to make something with a plot.
Robot crushing the skull under it's foot, a future war sequence with humans fighting machines, an a.i. machine with two fully auto machine gun 'hands'? Terminator. Very Terminator. Nice.
Way to short
It started off good
It's "too"! Arrrrgh!
it wasent really fit for 4th place to me
i didn't see how this got 4th place

Why would you want to do that?
I think i have big quads and calves, is there any workout that will help me to get them smaller but not to lose strength ?
Why would you want to do that?
Stop lifting for the lower body and eat in a caloric deficit. Pretty simple. However, if you try to shrink your legs, then you better have a very specific reason, or you are pretty dumb in my opinion.

Umm yea....I like have this enormous penis and am trying to shrink it down...any advice??? WTF??!!!!
People kill to have big Quads and Calves.
Build up the rest of your body.
how big are your quads?
if thats really what you want to do, I guess doing light weight squats for high reps will help. Also running long distance will do the trick as well.

^ In a deficit.
Its like saying, I have big arms, i need them smaller for my football season. MAKES NO SENSE! big quads and calves are necessary for track running or cross coutnry, you need strong legs. Unless you are saying you have fat on your legs and calves and you want to burn it off, which i pray is what you really meant. By no means should you ever wish to have smaller muscles, its the opposite of what this forum is about.
If you want to lose size from your legs without losing strength you merely need to maintain your strength and lose some body fat. You will be surprised how much your quads will shrink if you get lean.

i asked this on another forum too, and they say i have small legs... lol but my friends are telling me that i have big...
You do not want to lose size on your legs as an athlete; that seems like a really bad idea. Also, your legs are certainly not "big," but they aren't small either. At least it does not appear so proportionally.

Look inside ELON MUSK'S CAR! Tesla S wundervehicle has voom
Re: Poorly researched reporting
I think the majority of EV owners charge at home and only use public charging when they need a top up on a longer journey, so it doesn't happen that often, and they aren't taking the full 30 minute charge so you rarely have to wait.
Re: An invitation to Elon Musk...
Depending on where you live you might find your local supermarket already have non-proprietary charging point in place.
"The 125kW Superchargers work much more rapidly than the existing charging infrastructure for electric cars. While it takes seven hours to charge a Nissan Leaf or Citroën C-Zero on the three-pin plug systems they use, a Tesla S will charge from empty to full in an hour with a Supercharger. Drivers can find which chargers are available – and many of the charger bays have eight or 12 spaces – from a phone app and remotely monitor the state of charge of their charging car while waiting."
The Nissan Leaf can charge at 50kW, which charges from empty in 30 minutes. Charging a Tesla on a domestic supply takes all night. A Leaf can charge in 4 hours using a wall point.
"Musk says that Tesla is happy to open up the charging network to rival electric car manufacturers with provisos that their cars can cope with the rapid rate of charge and that they agree to the business model of charging the manufacturer a per-user fee based on usage rather than charging drivers for usage."
Tesla Superchargers are proprietary, and no other manufacturers use their connectors. The EU has also agreed a "standard" charging mechanism which manufacturers will be encouraged to use - it isn't Tesla's.
"Musk says that using superchargers will be free for Tesla owners forever. He can do this because the cost is all in the infrastructure, the actual cost of the electricity isn't that great and it's far better to build it into the price of the car."
Depending on which model Tesla you buy, access to the Supercharger network is included or not. The lower spec models you have to pay for.

Indeed, having left the iOS camp for Android, I now have several (relatively) high value apps that are now useless, but Apple have no method of transferring to another account as a resale (or even gift to someone else).
Similarly, purchases through the iOS VPP are locked to an Apple ID, which I'm sure many businesses will love once they try to migrate licenses among staff and find they have to repurchase.
Both seem against EU law. Anyone willing to take them on?

Well lucky you. Where I am, the maps are in black and white, and at awful resolution.

How can that be when it was the app that suggested it in the first place?! If you want to have public transport information, tap the icon to get some "suggestions" of other apps you could use to find what you need. Well that would be peachy if any of them actually had data on the transit systems around me.

Apple bashes 'gay cure' app
positive censorship
I don't think it's an insistence that everyone thinks the same, it's more a group of people fed up with being treated like second class citizens pressing for recognition of their rights.
I have no problem with people holding a different view to me, I'm sure there are plenty of things we'd disagree on. I DO have a problem with people promoting their ideas in a manner or language that attacks me (posters on lampposts, leafleting, homophobic apps).
Describing my being as a disease which requires curing does not send a positive message, and I am not surprised there are people who "struggle" with their sexuality if they are being told there is something wrong with them all the time, and that is what I would like to see change.
I don't think there are any apps claiming to cure the disease of unwanted heterosexuality. Perhaps someone can write an app to cure bigotry instead.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Prius v Audio and Electronics' started by zenMachine, Oct 31, 2011.
How does the stereo sound in the v?
Just drove 6 hours this weekend listening to some of my favorite classic rock + heavy metal, the 8 speaker JBL system sounds GREAT. I bumped treble + bass 2 clicks and midrange 1 to get the sound I like for the music I listen to most often.
pvogel, you have the GreenEdge JBL since you have the FIVE with the AT package.
I have been drooling for that system. I have yet to hear it in person.
Only the AT package has GreenEdge?
I'm curious to know about the search function for USB input. Can you search music by voice? Is there a limit to the number of songs? Is there a manual search function for songs artists and genre or is it just a schroll?
Yes, on both system you can search for music by voice. On the HDD it's album, artist or song name. On the Display Audio, you can also search by genre and some other categories. Both have manual searching as well, yes.
That is correct and that's just what was on my mind. Only the advanced technology package only available in the Five has JBL audio with the amp and 8 speakers.
I had a decent listen to the basic audio system, good quality CD, just sitting in a v Three .... it's ok, but it's really nothing special. The touchscreen is nice though. Played the same tune just after in my Coupe, big difference.
It's a family car, so I guess it makes sense. But the 2012 regular Prius seems to only get JBL in premium package too. hmmmm.
How does the v-2 system sound?
What about fm radio performance?
I haven't heard the FM because it finds the equivalent HD source so very quickly. HD radio sounds awesome.
I've heard it on a test drive and stopped with a good CD. It's ok. Quite sure there is no seperate amplifier, so the lows and highs are a little weak. I'm sure some handy people around here could upgrade it.
The JBL with Greenedge should be good.
Due to circumstances (don't ask) I'm about to order a Prius V / + / Wagon / whatever (called Prius Wagon over here in Europe (Netherlands), and yes, it's the 7 seater) but there's a snag... The first cars are expected to be delivered around summer 2012 (June, July) and neither the dealers nor Toyota have all the (technical) details yet. Still, I have to decide right NOW on the package.
I've figured out most, but one thing is left: audio.
I have three options: take the (JBL) 8 speaker set, the regular 6 speaker set, or go for aftermarked (and take the 6 speaker set but replace the speakers and add a line converter + amplifier).
For some strange reason oever here Toyota gives a low discount on the most luxurous version (with the JBL) so I can't do much but got for the aftermarket solution or stick to the factory default. As it's a lease car, I have to decide now and have the audio aftermarket included in the lease, or have to spend the bucks myself, or I have to stick to whatever it comes with.
(FYI: the JBL 8 speaker thing comes with the 7" head unit, the 6 speaker thingy goes with the 'Touch and Go' option Toyota sells over here as a dealer (not factory) option. I would not be suprised if it's rather different from the US head units, do a youtube for Toyota Touch and Go for something similar to what we expect to get.)
To put things in perspective: I'm currently driving a leftover Prius II with a JBL sound systeem and that one sounds good enough for me. But I've also driven other cars with very crappy factory sound systems, so some information would be nice (even though I realise things may be totally different once the first batches are delivered, sigh).
Finally, the question: does anyone know if the Prius V setup is similar / identical to the Prius III, and are there wiring harness adapters available for the V / III ? If so, I might consider doing the upgrade myself.
Just take the JBL, by far the best. If you are satisfied with your current JBL, you will be more than pleased with the new one. It comes with the Touch and Go Plus, included the 3d city maps and much more tech goodies. That's the reason i ordered the fully loaded.
Nice to have another dutchman on this forum.:rockon:
Though I'd probably be more than happy with the JBL, it might not happen. The difference between the 'dynamic' and 'aspiration' version is too much, price wise that is. Due to increased tax and the lower discount the lease companies get on the 'dynamic' (our dutch counterpart to the V five it seems) it's cheaper to order an 'aspiration' and throw a load of aftermarket addons at it. Utterly silly but that is the case.
So, here's the choice:
1. take the 'dynamic' and be done with it (thus a bigger screen, the jbl system, and everything factory standard)
2. take the 'aspiration' and add (aftermarket) audio upgrade / parking sensors / leather / heated chairs / touch and go plus (thus, a smaller screen, possible better (or worse!) stereo, leather, and 20 bucks / month cheaper)
Is it worth the troubles for twenty bucks a month?
My only issue is that I sometimes have to turn it up high to hear it over the road noise on some pavements.
I am also interested to learn how quiet is the v compared to previous Prius versions.

It's a step up from the Atari 2600 and NES versions that came out over 10 years ago. But rather than channel the classic cartoon, Double Helix Games bases their third-person shooter on the 2009 live-action G.I. Joe movie of the same name -- so the iconic characters' likenesses, histories, and hardware reflect those of the film. That isn't inherently bad; the game still includes most, if not all, of the characters I would want to see in a G.I. Joe game (even throwing in some that don't appear in the movie). The Rise of Cobra's biggest problems aren't in the way it uses the license -- the problems are that, on anything but the lowest difficulty setting, the game is unnecessarily unforgiving and uses a completely counter-intuitive health regeneration system.
The game takes place right after the events of the movie, which provides a great way to avoid too many spoilers while still expanding the newly established Joe universe. But, otherwise, the story is nonsensical (though it does reference one of the cartoon's old M.A.S.S. Device storylines). But I never went to G.I. Joe looking for anything more than nonstop action between Cobra forces and the Joes, so it doesn't bother me that most of the game's exposition comes in voiced-over dialogue boxes next to static headshots of the characters. These conversations usually result in new, inconsequential objectives and orders that just funnel you down a linear path directly to your next target.
The array of characters listed in the instruction manual looks impressive at first, but once you start playing it becomes clear that you won't be using most of those heroes, including two of my personal favorites Gung-Ho and Beachhead -- because unlocking characters in this game is a chore. You unlock a small selection of Joes by playing through the game normally, but unlocking most of the extra cast requires fulfilling specific criteria ranging from finding hidden items (like dog tags and briefcases) to completing bonus missions. You're not done yet though, as then you've got to accumulate battle points by completing and replaying missions; the harder the difficulty a level is played on, the more points you receive. The sheer banality of playing each stage over and over again, coupled with the game's frustrating checkpoint system, made me stop trying with five character spots left to fill. The game splits all the characters into three classes, Commando, Heavy, and Combat Soldier, but the classes are essentially the same. Only each character's individual special attacks keep them from being simple palette swaps.
Completing other objectives in the game unlocks the usual concept art and character bios, but the real standouts are the public service announcements from the original series; I was taken back to my childhood listening to the heavy-handed advice from various G.I. Joe personnel, like, "A stranger can mean danger." And it was really fun to see that a lot of the vehicles I used to own as toys make appearances in the game, such as the H.I.S.S. tank and the M.O.B.A.T assault vehicle. Driving those vehicles is another story though; I always felt that I was wrangling to get them to go where I wanted and the camera never seemed to be where it would make the most sense. The same goes for the camera while on foot, enemies oftentimes appear out of view, making them difficult to target since there's no way to manually adjust the camera.
On a positive note, a temporary power-up called the Accelerator Suit becomes available after causing enough havoc (destroying buildings and killing enemies) while playing through each stage. They're really fun the first few times you trigger the power-ups, especially if you're playing with someone that knows the old G.I. Joe theme song, since that's the music that plays whenever you activate the suit. In fact, I think whoever wrote the game's script listened to the animated movie's theme song one time too many times, judging by the insane number of lyrical references in the game overall.
For each mission, you choose two characters and alternate between them with the touch of a button (or in co-op you play as one character while your partner picks the other), which gives the game a run-and-gun-shooter feel in the vein of Commando. But for a game designed with a quick, pick-up-and-play aesthetic, Double Helix really mishandled the checkpoint and health regeneration systems. Generally, when you reach something that goes out of its way to call itself a checkpoint, you feel confident that if you die at any point thereafter, you'll simply restart from that point. In The Rise of Cobra, a checkpoint is simply a place where, on the game's default, medium difficulty, your teammate resurrects, while on the hardest difficulty it's... nothing. On hard, once enemies take out either character, they're out for the rest of the mission. And on any difficulty but the easiest, once both characters are killed, that's it. No checkpoint will save you from restarting the entire mission from the beginning.
The missions aren't short either, so the risk to reward ratio for choosing to play one of the higher difficulties is hardly worth it. Further exasperating matters, your tiny health bar regenerates very slowly except when you're behind cover. But since the game lacks any health pickups whatsoever, The Rise of Cobra unintentionally becomes a cover-based shooter that locks you into overlong battles against turrets, gunships, and enemy tanks. You pop-up from behind a barricade, shoot until your health nearly empties, and then duck back behind cover to do it again. Wash, rinse, repeat for every level.
Playing on the easiest setting, makes the game feel more like it's supposed to, an arcade-style shooter, but at the expense of any challenge at all. For all intents and purposes, you're invincible -- dying's only inconvenience is a short pause while you wait for your character to revive. The logical solution would have been to make a downed character stay out of commission until the other player reaches a checkpoint. And if both characters die, you restart from the last checkpoint. That's the way checkpoints work in almost every other game today (except intentionally difficult games, like Mega Man 9).
The checkpoint system's flaws stand out even more when you play game cooperatively. Co-op play is significantly more fun than single-player (especially since another person will generally do more than just stand in one spot and let you do all the work, like the game's AI), but playing on the easiest difficulty was essential during my co-op runs with people who hadn't played much of the game, since they would often die shortly after the level began. Since, after dying, my partner couldn't play again until I'd either beaten the level or moved on to the next one, I toggled the difficulty down to easy. But that was the only way I could get through the entire jungle series of stages with the same person.
When I first jumped into the game I found myself drawn in by the promise of unlocking new characters and simply playing as my favorite Joes, but after being pelted with frustrating difficulty settings and repetitive gameplay, just finishing the game turned into a task. Looking back at my game's progress tells the tale: I completed the first few sections on the hardest difficulty but gradually turned the difficulty down for the final chunk of missions. As I played this game I couldn't help but think that (with fixes to the bizarre checkpoint system) this would have been a great downloadable title, but as a full-priced release The Rise of Cobra just doesn't cut it.
