If portions (or, sometimes, all) of a jutsu's article is going to be taken word-for-word from the jutsu's databook entry, I think it's important that the information be presented as such. Doing so would:
- Let readers know why a particular paragraph sounds different from the rest of the wiki.
- Let editors know that a particular paragraph should not be modified beyond adding links where appropriate.
- Solve what is potentially plagiarism in jutsu articles as they are now.
To use Kamui as an example:
|Kamui without quote
Kakashi's original dōjutsu, released from the Mangekyō Sharingan, that allows one to transfer anything to another dimension. If one spends a lot of time and trains one's chakra over and over again, this technique can be invoked. The target is enveloped with a barrier space and the user concentrates their mind to what they gaze at. The target can struggle helplessly, but against this technique no defence is possible. When the technique is invoked, the space at the centre of the barrier is distorted and the target inside the barrier is drawn in completely. The location and size of the barrier can be specified at will. It is a dreadful technique that, with skilled use and enough chakra, can even pull an entire human being into another dimension.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is a dōjutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of Kamui, using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well. As his Sharingan was transplanted, usage of this technique poses an even greater risk to Kakashi.
Kakashi is able to use this technique up to at least three times in a given day, even when starting at full strength. At first Kakashi's aim and control over the size of the barrier was imperfect. Over time his aim and control improved, as he was able to accurately warp away small and fast moving objects, such as a nail. Kakashi is even able to consecutively warp away two fast-moving arrows.

Much clearer with a quote, right?
The only potential issue with using {{quote}} is that I don't think it gets along well with the infobox, which means some other way of identifying quotes would need to be found. There's also a question of how to handle image captions, but that's small potatoes. This should be no more complicated than looking at the translations ShounenSuki has done, comparing them to the wiki's articles, and implementing the quote-treatment where the two match. Comments/concerns? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:01, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
- I believe that's why we have references but if people want to start doing that then sure. Joshbl56 22:06, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
So, as an IP, my suggestion is ignored and my edits are reverted. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm really not. I'll also point out that I added several references, which active editors have made little progress with. ~SnapperTo 01:23, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- No, your suggestion was not ignore, I answered. As for the edits, you should have made one edit and see what people thought, not go through and keep making them as if you were trying to troll. Joshbl56 01:28, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- If only one person answer, then try asking people on their talk page to join, and if they don't then they do not want to change anything. Since no one tried making the changes then no one wanted to put them as quotes. Joshbl56 01:35, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
Though I'm not too sure what's up with you nowadays- you really are true to your moniker. However, I will say that you of all people should know that if you want something to be noticed on this wikia, you have to make it get noticed by others. With regards to whether or not we should use quotes, I really don't see an issue with it, but at the same time I don't really care if they're used. Most of the time people don't rewrite the articles but tend to drop in titbits that they deem are relevant and I fear that with quoting that won't be allowed any more. But either is fine with me I suppose. Possibly indicating otherwise that it's a direct quote might be fine as well? Hidden messages are getting popular lately.--Cerez365™ 01:42, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
I believe jutsu articles are fine as they are now. I think its unnecessary because we can simply use references to show where they come from.--Deva 27 01:44, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
I thought originally the anon intended to replace the article text with the exact quote, which i would be against since then no one could update it to reflect new information. But adding the databook translation to the top in quotes, seperate from the rest of the article only adds positively to it. — SimAnt 01:46, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- (editconflictx100!) I would also like to say that I just saw some of the articles that were changed to the quote format and, they look really kewl >.> I might be more on the side of using it now. Though I'm not too sure how it'd look it wikia skin as opposed to Monaco. I'm assuming the latter would look better because of the page width. Also, what if there are images in the article itself- what would be done about that?--Cerez365™ 01:48, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I will admit that not quoting directly makes the information a bit more accessible, but these are very meaty excerpts to use and only acknowledge through some floating reference at the end of the article.
- As an IP, I'm forced to use the Wikia skin, and it doesn't look so bad. It's scrunchy, sure, but so is everything in Wikia.
- I'm not suggesting that databook quotes be used whenever available. Just that, if the databook is going to be quoted, it might as well be put in quotes. Articles that are long enough to have multiple images don't usually make such extensive use of databook material so they shouldn't be a problem. ~SnapperTo 01:57, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Just to give an idea of how common (or uncommon) use of databook information is, I made a list of all the articles that were noticeably similar to ShounenSuki's translations. To summarize: the first databook has 86 jutsu entries, of which 15 are used by the wiki; the second databook has 108 jutsu entries, of which 17 are used by the wiki; the third databook has 115 jutsu entries, of which 96 are used by the wiki.
- Some of these I could be wrong about, and the databook just happens to say more-or-less the same thing as what observation produces. Some of these actually use a reference, so a quote is not required beyond a desire to be consistent (assuming the quote-treatment is desirable). Some of these make very negligible use of databook information when compared to user-submitted content, so a quote would probably not be a good idea.
- At the very least, the list may give an idea of what articles don't use databook information and thus which may have room for improvement. I only looked at articles for jutsu that ShounenSuki has translated so I suppose it's possible that articles of unlisted jutsu are based on the work of other translators, but I personally doubt it. ~SnapperTo 03:29, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- And TheUltimate3 is posting in a thread he has not read. Will get back to you around next Monday (Final Exams yay!)--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 04:05, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
If we are going to use this, I think we should just use the meat of the description (at least for the top quote) from the databooks. For Kamui we could just use:
|Kakashi's original dōjutsu, released from the Mangekyō Sharingan, that allows one to transfer anything to another dimension. If one spends a lot of time and trains one's chakra over and over again, this technique can be invoked. The target is enveloped with a barrier space and the user concentrates their mind to what they gaze at. The target can struggle helplessly, but against this technique no defence is possible.

The location and size of the barrier can be specified at will. It is a dreadful technique that, with skilled use and enough chakra, can even pull an entire human being into another dimension.
—Third Databook
Or something like that since it still gives us room to put info but still tells how the technique works. Also, would we do something with the character's that are in the databooks? (Just in case you guys and gals already came up with a decision, I have to tell you I just sort of skimmed over most of the conversation '^.^. Also, sorry for being rude earlier, Snapper2) Joshbl56 10:17, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I really think this could work, with any additional info going at the bottom of the article but we do need to hear more from the other members.--Cerez365™ 11:54, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
Well, I don't know if it just that I'm accustomed to the clasic way of presenting things, but I am completely against copy-paste of databook entries. Most of them use a language that, while it may be cool and stuff for databooks, it is not so much for an impartial, data gathering wikia. I've always been against using databook text literally for technique entries. I know that, as a minor editor my opinion isn't quite on par with the fat cats here, but I just wanted to explain myself.--Kind-Hearted-One (talk) 16:11, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I admit not to have read everything in this page, but I mirror a bit of Kind-Hearted-One's opinion in that the language used in the databooks doesn't feel suited the wiki, in my opinion. And doing that would make it a strange having to add updated information regarding something that is in the quote in a different paragraph or something like that. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:41, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with the above on this, in particular with Omnibender's remarks in regards to the addition of updated information, especially when these can range from simple amendments or, on the rare occasion, complete revisions. I don't know exactly why, but I get the feeling that the application of these quotes could become terribly inconsistent and thus difficult to implement correctly, at least in my opinion. Blackstar1 (talk) 23:12, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
To be honest I don't see much difference in the writing style with the exception of bits like the introductory/one-off sentences. If they are used I don't really see how it'd differ much from the different writing styles that are conflated when several people write articles. On the other had, I will admit that sometimes there are instances where stuff the databook says can be reworded to sound a little better so I think that if we do use the quotations, we shouldn't be as stringent as to say it's an exact quote as sometimes moving stuff around is unavoidable. But as it stands we already use a lot of these direct translations without any problem all we'd be doing is pointing it out. And I'm pro-Kishimoto so I like the idea of integrating him more into the wikia.--Cerez365™ 23:17, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Although I see the writing style being more a matter of opinion, I do have an issue when it comes to employing quotation marks outside of "exact quote[s]", as the purpose of such punctuation is to infer that the text was taken directly from the source in question and as such, isn't open to alteration. This again raises the issue of consistent application of these quotes, because if the text can be altered, how do we define the point where it fails to be a quote anymore? I agree with the ideal of integrating Kishimoto more, but I get the feeling this may not be the best way to do so, given the nature of wikia. Blackstar1 (talk) 23:45, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I doubt that. Any way, the way I see it is that this is not to prohibit people from making small changes which I believe are at times necessary even when we use translated quotes but to stop what happens when a person rewrites the entire article only to have it reverted at least that's why I would use them. We need to remember that we are working with translations here and while I have great faith in our resident translator, other translators might very well have translate a section/article differently. Given that, I see no reason we couldn't change bits in the translations if it'd be easier to understand. Direct quotes would mean us writing the articles in Japanese not English.--Cerez365™ 00:14, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
- As I tried to indicate above, my main problem arises not from alterations per se, given as those by translators are an absolute necessity, but rather the potential extent of them. Where we choose to draw the line between quotation, paraphrase and interpretation is essential to how we implement what is proposed and as you can probably guess, this is where the matter becomes rather complicated and murky for myself. In my opinion, it's this which would make the application of quotes like this inconsistent and thus difficult to do so correctly, which is the reason why I'm wondering if this method is the best and most worthwhile to achieve the points listed initially. I'm not ruling quotations out, just trying to incite a bit more consideration to ensure we use the best solution possible. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:53, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

- I agree that the databooks' style of presenting information isn't appropriate for a wiki, but, as Cerez points out, that hasn't stopped it from being used verbatim in several articles. Poison Mist, for example, only differs from the databook in what punctuation is used (period instead of exclamation point(s)). Others, such as Earth Style Wall, have had slight modifications to reflect material released after the databook, but are still 90% faithful to the original databook entry.
- Of course there's the other end of the spectrum: Clone Great Explosion was at one time a very close copy of the databook. Since then the information has been well-synthesized. If all articles were to undergo this kind of conversion, there wouldn't be a problem. (Although not all databook entries are as inane as Clone Great Explosion's, so this isn't likely to happen with any great urgency.)
- Rules of quoting in other writings may be of use in determining how to deal with quotes. When a word is changed ("he" --> "Jirōbō") or content is removed ("the adorably-furry dog with the tic of Tat ran with the purposes of eating across the street with a rapidity that was dangerous to himself and others" --> "the dog ran across the street"), single brackets are placed around the changed content. If brackets are used so often that there is little resemblance to the original quote or if it is awkward to read because there are too many brackets, quotes (and the brackets) aren't bothered with. But if the bracket-usage is minimal and the quote exceeds a certain length (usually four or five lines), quotation marks are expected and it's often a good idea to split it out from the rest of the content in some way (its own paragraph, special indentation, etc.)
- The solution to this problem may lie elsewhere. Maybe there needs to be a serious effort to cite information? If these articles were referenced and if - relatedly - new information was not shoe-horned into existing material, quoting would not be an issue. Or maybe the wiki needs to decide how in-universe it wants to be? If all information, all the time was supposed to be presented as though Naruto and friends were real people that really did all these things, then obtrusive reminders (like what I suggest) that some piece of information is taken from elsewhere would not be viable. But I remain pessimistic that this wiki can make any committed-decision more complicated than how to spell something. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:01, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm basically getting that you want the jutsu pages to more like Clone Great Explosion in that it does have the information written but not a direct copy of the databook pages. You are also giving us another solution to the problem in that you are saying we should put more references up for the jutsus?
- I'm not opposed to add more references as I like adding them myself or changing the wording around but we can only add more references from the manga since we already have a reference to the data in the databook and it would be redundant to put a reference that is already there twice. For some techniques, like Poison Mist, we have only seen once or twice and all the information we could get has already been put into the databooks unless someone/something else uses the technique again. (Just so we are clear, I cherry picked my way through your reply to try and piece together what your intentions were. If I missed something or what you were trying to convey, then I'm sorry.) Joshbl56 00:49, December 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Non editable Quotes from the databooks can be added to articles the same way non editable stats for characters are added, sysop protected included pages. Although I still would prefer the solution of adding plain old references, although that isn't going so well. But we can't really add extensive databook information for character pages, etc. — SimAnt 16:47, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
- Joshbl56 - As I said in an earlier comment, the floating reference doesn't really cut it; it's only directly applied to the information in the infobox. Readers are left to assume that the rest of the article is verified by this same source as well. When the databook says all that there is to say about a jutsu then this is a fine approach (although there's still no reason to not add a reference too). But when a jutsu has seen differing usage since the databook was released (Spiked Human Bullet Tank) or when the databook doesn't address everything that can be said about a jutsu (Body Pathway Derangement), what is and is not from the databook needs a clearer label.
- Simant - That's an interesting way of treating quotes that I hadn't thought of. I'd like to think there wouldn't be an issue with people editing quotes when they shouldn't, but people will always surprise me.
- I'd also like to think people would be more willing to add references if there was less work involved. Like if
{{ref chapter|1}}made
<ref name="chapter 1">[[Naruto Uzumaki!!|''Naruto'' chapter 1]]</ref>In this example, people don't need to bother with page numbers (which can be time-consuming and I have issues with anyway), the forced
ref nameeliminates cases where chapter 510 is referenced 7 times in the same article, and the automatic linking to chapters/episodes/whatever helps advertise those articles.
- I'd also like to think people would be more willing to add references if there was less work involved. Like if
- Spaghetti is good. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:29, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
This idea is really awful, take the example of the article on Asuma's Flying Swallow technique it says: "The materialised chakra is shaped like a blade, cutting up everything it touches at once!" and "Seeing through the movements is a Herculean task!!" and yet again ". It not only raises the power of the weapon, but simultaneously turns oneself into a blade as well!!" first of all the excess use of exclamation marks is awful, second it sounds like some fan's report of the jutsu not Masashi Kishimoto's, the databook was created by Masashi to explain the jutsu and other stuff, he wrote it in his own words so that people can understand it, it wasn't meant to be written on a wikia like that. Besides, it lowers the flexibility or freedom of choice and editing. The wikia would be split that way, less than one-fifth of the total jutsu articles would be looking like that while all the others would be looking something entirely different, this kind of change should only occur if all articles have a databook entry. Personally I don't like it (no offense to anyone). 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:31, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
- You are missing the part where, other than punctuation, that article sounds just as inappropriate for a wiki with the quote as it did without the quote. You need to revert back to June to get rid of the "fan's report". <-- Look ma! I used quotes again. I's smrt.
- Not that I understand why that one article is keeping the quote-treatment in the first place. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:48, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
Geez who in the blue hell came up with this crazy idea...even if they are databook quotes placing them ipsis verbis in an article like in the Flying Swallow just throws the credibility of the article down the drain. Why is this case being treated differently from the other? Maybe add as a trivia but even so...Darksusanoo (talk) 21:15, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand :s With the exception of the exclamation marks, articles have always been copied and pasted from the databook at times word-for-word. I've done it several time but I will admit that I do change stuff in order for it to "flow better"; people have never had problems with them until it was brought into the 'light' however. Because it sounds like any other thing someone would write so i'm not too sure how it's "inappropriate" or that god-awful. Snaps, I think it was a good idea and for the most part, I think what frightens most contributors is the fact that they won't be allowed to edit what is there. Maybe if we found another way to represent the fact that it's a direct translation without intimidating the masses so much. Like having the "—Second Databook bit without the quotation marks.--Cerez365™ 21:35, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
- The problem is that from what i read so far the databook quotes are some times too allegoric and embellished to be used integrally. Maybe added as a trivia so that a person can have an idea were the article comes from and have the databook stated as source maybe ok; another article that's the case would be Kamui though not to the same extent. I believe that as an enclyclopedia the technique articles have be done using a more neutral and technical writing, and like Cerez-sempai said you have to change certain articles to make it flow better. From what read in other Wikis(using Bleach as my primary example), they use the technical information of their Databooks not do word-by-word takes, cuz it throws the articles in disarray for the readers. Darksusanoo (talk) 21:47, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
- Bleach isn't a very good example considering stats are the only new pieces of information its databooks give. I also don't see how adding quotation marks throws articles into disarray. I would think it does the exact opposite: clearly arranging information based on where its taken from and eliminating readers' confusion as to why an article sounds peculiar.
- If a purely-statistical use of the databooks is ideal, then by all means do so. Just know that you'll need to reach very far back to make the change. 2010 in some cases. There's even the occasional jutsu that has never been without a heavy amount of databook material.
- I don't care whether or not {{quote}} is used. I don't even care if the quotes are modified to make them sound like standard English (although there's some kind of double-standard). But the wiki needs to adopt some way of labeling where information comes from. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:46, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
- What are references for if not to label where information comes from??? Joshbl56 19:50, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
I say we should revert to our past layout and abandon this one. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 11:23, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Joshbl56 - For the last time: if people want to use references they need to actually add them. Nobody has directly applied the references to the used material, nor has anybody restored the couple of additional references that I added.
- 119 - Which past layout? The layout where databook material wasn't used, or the layout where databook material wasn't acknowledged as being from the databook? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:39, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
Question, can we (Well I mean SimAnt I suppose) create templates? If he can, I think one without the quotation marks and just the "— X Databook" bit might be a good enough earmark? That way I think it's intimidate people less.--Cerez365™ 19:50, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Registered users can create templates, they just may or may not be able to edit existing templates. Template:Quote is included among those templates that users can edit. That said, the giant quotation marks can be removed very easily. I assume you would still want the indentation to remain?
- If interested, you can also look at Wikipedia's quote templates to see if there's some other style that you prefer. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:08, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Excellent then. I think the indentation might have to go as well or be decreased since I think someone voiced an issue with that. Not too sure how it'll look after that but meh, concessions.--Cerez365™ 20:30, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
I admit I haven't yet read all of the above, so I apologize if I rehash anything already said. Ignoring my previous post, we would need to decide what to do with the quoted material. What I mean is, do we allow it to be editable? There are definitely times where the language of the databooks sounds a little odd when translated and at times is allegorical. Leaving a large part of an article (the entire for some) uneditable would annoy some. I do agree that we should reference what came from the databooks though, so that users know why the writing style is different in certain areas. Skitts (talk) 21:28, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry for my epically late response. I feel that direct quoting the databooks in such a way would...lessen the encyclopedic feel of the wiki. Espcially with how at times the databooks seem to grandify some of the jutsu with exclaimation ponts and what not. Plus the whole "will it allow people to edit it" mindframe of a red flag for me.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 22:07, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
The point is...even if i didn't quite explain myself due to use of poor examples...i'm not saying not to use the databook's information, just the opposite, they are key information for this wiki beyond the stats alone...but most of the language there has to be treated and converted to a more neutral and less allegoric language, not only to mantain the capacity for editing, but to allow for a better understanding. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:20, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
Can the people who suggest this, tell me why they like this? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 10:29, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Why they like it is pretty much summed up in the forum.--Cerez365™ 14:14, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
I think references are fine, quoting like that just lowers the flexibility and feel of the wikia. We should use the databook information to explain parts that people don't understand and keep most of it (without quoting it) unless there is something new shown that has not yet been said or revealed uptill that point. The databook sometimes says things that may seem awkward (for the lack of a better word) to others. Things like " Seeing through the movements is said to be a Herculean task." may seem weird even exaggerated. All in all there are too many problems and people opposing this idea for it to happen. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 13:42, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Not directly a grilling question, but it will fit someone's grilling experience. Anyone know a reasonable way to measure the heat of a hot pepper-jalepeno, habanero, scotch bonnet, etc.- without sacrificing your mouth? Maybe their is no way, just checking.
Reason I asked, I grew jalepeno and scotch bonnet this year. Both produced well, but the first times neither seemed to have any heat; the last batch at least jalepenos were hot= - a coworker who likes hot peppers could not handle them.

Prior interrogations of his device revealed underlying atrial fibrillation and pacemaker dependence but normal lead function. He was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by polysomnography (November 2010) with a respiratory disturbance index (RDI) of 22.2 and an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 20.5.
Physical examination revealed a body mass index of 32.1 kg/m2, pulse 84 beats/min; other vital signs were unremarkable with SpO2 96% on room air. He had left lateral thoracotomy, left clam shell, and midline sternotomy scars from his previous surgeries. His cardiac examination revealed regular rate and rhythm with systolic ejection murmur at base and a 2/6 diastolic decrescendo murmur. His left radial pulse was diminished.
A recent electrocardiogram (EKG) showed underlying atrial fibrillation with a biventricular paced rhythm. Echocardiogram (September 2010) revealed a LVEF of 20%, enlarged right and left ventricular cavity, mitral regurgitation, reduced right ventricular systolic function, and pulmonic valve (PV) insufficiency with a diameter of 2.9 cm and peak gradient across the PV of 11 mm Hg (mean 5 mm Hg). The echo estimated a right ventricular systolic pressure of 45-50 mm Hg and a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 35-40 mm Hg. A recent interrogation of his biventricular pacer-defibrillator showed stable and normal function.
He underwent a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration study. His sleep efficiency was 90% with a latency of 12.6 minutes. CPAP of 11 cm of water yielded improved control of his sleep disordered breathing, with residual RDI of 4.6 per hour. His overnight EKG analysis (modified lead II) demonstrated an abnormal wide complex rhythm at 01:58 (Figure 1). At that time patient was not having any respiratory event; his oxygen saturation was 93-94%.
(more ...)
Identify the abnormality in EKG on PSG in Figure 1.
ANSWER: Automated device self-diagnostic, probably related to a left ventricular capture management algorithm. The tracing shows a QRS vector compatible with a biventricular paced rhythm at baseline. The wide complex rhythm is a different morphology and implies only one of the two ventricular leads is being paced. Autocapture algorithms only check one lead at a time. There is a salvo of ventricular paced beats at a rate similar to the programmed base rate at the rest of the tracing. The morphology resembles LV paced morphology. This seemingly bizarre pacemaker behavior is frequently observed in the 1-2 AM time-frame and is one of many automated self-diagnostic or safety assurance algorithms used by implantable cardiac devices.
Recent literature has generated interest in epidemiological and clinical correlations between long-term pacing and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). It is well known that cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances occur during SDB,1 and it is likely that a high incidence of patients with SDB have pacemakers placed. Garrigue et al. reported a high prevalence of undiagnosed SDB (59%) in long-term paced patients and suggested that SDB should be actively searched in patients requiring a pacemaker or currently being treated by a pacemaker.2 It is thus expected that a large number of patients with pacemakers and other cardiac rhythm devices are likely to be seen in sleep centers.
Gamaldo et al.3 suggested that sleep technicians and sleep specialists should be well-versed in identification of cardiac arrhythmias and the proper procedure when a patient demonstrates an arrhythmia on PSG. Cardiac arrhythmias are among the most common serious adverse events encountered during a PSG.4 With the increasing number of patients with implantable devices undergoing PSG, finding a transient abnormal rhythm or seemingly bizarre pacemaker behavior on EKG during PSG is very likely. Our case highlights the importance of recognizing an automated function of pacemaker which is a common feature of almost all current pacing devices.5 This automated function of implantable devices is usually a "self-maintenance" feature which represents an important advancement in their safety and performance. These are discovered incidentally during continuous telemetric patient monitoring and often confused with arrhythmias or device malfunctioning. Nocturnal PSG with continuous monitoring is likely to detect these events because they are usually programmed to occur in the nighttime hours. Failure to recognize these features can cause unwanted alarm and confusion, which can lead to patient harm.6 In our case, it is noteworthy that the wide complex rhythm seen due to the automated device self-diagnostic function was mislabeled by the technologist as a "run of v-tach" (Figure 1), even though rate of wide complex beats was around 60 to 70, which by definition is not tachycardia.
There are many automated functions performed by modern cardiac pacing devices, and medical staff at the sleep center should be aware of them while reporting on PSG. We would suggest consultation with the patient's electrophysiologist for assistance in reviewing these rhythms in such patients, so that these are not mistaken for arrhythmia or device malfunction. The PSG technologists should also be aware of the potential for these rhythms in any patient with an implantable device who is undergoing a PSG test, so that they are not alarmed or initiate any emergency measures.
Automated functions of cardiac implantable devices for "self-maintenance" or safety assurance are present in almost all modern pacing devices. These are frequently discovered during continuous telemetry patient monitoring and often confused with arrhythmias or device malfunctioning. These typically occur at 1 or 2 AM.
One should be aware of these automated pacemaker functions occurring during a PSG. Their recognition can avoid clinical dilemmas and improve patient care.

Swimming hit by second damning reportStathi Paxinos
Published: February 19 2013 - 12:58PM
- Toxic culture in Australian swimming team
THE fundamental culture of the Australian swimming team that flopped badly at last year's London Olympic Games has been heavily criticised by a second report.
Just hours after Swimming Australia released an independent review into the failed campaign that highlighted misuse of prescription drugs, drunkenness, breaching of curfews, deceit and bullying, the Australian Sports Commission tabled its own report.
And the ASC findings were no less damning with the report producing 35 recommendations as to how to improve the management of Australian swimming including improving the oversight of the high performance program, setting tougher qualification times and improving relationships with the swimmers.
"This review suggests the issues confronting swimming were mistrust, poor behaviour, disappointing results and increased dependence on government funding," the reported said.
"The most consistent themes reported ... were a lack of accountability, transparency and communication. The panel believes this was part of a broader theme identifying compromised leadership across all levels of the sport."

Follow rest of the season on At Bat for just $4.99
While the Nationals still hold onto a significant lead in the National League East, Adam Bayes is following his favorite team in a new way this summer.
The 34-year-old fan recently moved from Arlington, Va., to Charlotte, and the MLB.com At Bat app has been a crucial companion. Major League Baseball Advanced Media just lowered the price to $4.99 through 6 a.m. ET on Tuesday as part of a special Labor Day Sale, clearing the way for even more fans to follow the pennant races the way Bayes has with a sports app standard bearer. That's a 50 percent savings and the price of At Bat will go back to $9.99 following the sale.
"I use At Bat on my iPad and iPhone," he wrote in an email to MLB.com. "I'm married and have two kids and own and operate a small business, and I am often not able to sit in front of a television for long periods of time. So it's nice to be able to keep up with the game, even if it's just checking the Gameday updates or listening to Charlie and Dave on 106.7 The Fan -- the club's official radio broadcast -- through the app's radio feature.
"Since I can't listen to local radio in North Carolina, I can access the broadcast through the radio feature and feel like I'm not missing anything. During the recent winning streak, I was able to keep up with the games even if I couldn't watch every second of every game. I feel like the app has made it easier to keep up with my home team even when I am in a different state."
At Bat entered this year as the highest-grossing sports app five years running, bringing baseball to the iPhone, iPad, supported Android smartphones and tablets, Amazon Kindle Fire, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone 8. Available since it became one of the original 500 apps to launch with the Apple App Store on July 10, 2008, At Bat has continued to soar in popularity.
It was downloaded 5 million times during the first week of this season, a record-setting total 25 percent higher than last season's comparable. In addition, At Bat and MLB.TV combined to deliver 94 million total video streams, a mark 88 percent higher than the record set in the first week of the 2013 season.
On Tuesday, Cardinals fan Bryan Williams of Louisville summed up the sentiment of many with this single tweet: "The MLB.com At Bat app is pure perfection."
It also is an ideal back-to-school gift for parents wanting to use the app's new give-as-a-gift capability. "When I'm busy being buried in homework," Cardinals fan Danielle Kemper tweeted, "I'm always thankful for my At Bat app to keep me posted on what's going on."
By taking advantage of this special offer, you have access to every decisive instant replay video clip and review explanation via Gameday. You also have access to such features as personalized team experiences to deliver a linear feed of content for a designated favorite team; searchable libraries of tens of thousands of video-on-demand highlight clips; and customizable original news reporting and fantasy baseball analysis from MLB.com club beat reporters and national columnists.
Since it became the first app to stream live video in 2009, At Bat has introduced an evolving set of ways for its millions of subscribers to consume live baseball games. MLBAM provides blackout-free live look-ins, in-game highlights delivered to At Bat in less than 60 seconds, the free MLB.TV Game of the Day, live statistical overlays such as pitch tracking and an archive of Classic Games, and more cool features.
For the third year, MLB.TV Premium subscribers again receive At Bat for free, unlocking the app's premium feature set.
With an At Bat subscription, you get multi-platform live audio access for portability to take home, away and Spanish-language audio feeds to desktop and laptop computers. You also can have full premium feature access across all support iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
"Wherever I am, so is my game," said country music star Jason Aldean, who has At Bat with him throughout his summer-long "Burn It Down" tour. "Now it's cool, because it's kind of anywhere you go, you've got it right there. You can be walking down the street and pull [an iPhone] out and be watching on your phone. ... I can keep up with everything."

By: Dan Delany, Chief Strategy Officer
Recently, the Center for an Urban Future released a thought provoking report, Launching Low-Income Entrepreneurs. The depth of information and analysis is great and everyone should take some time to read this important report.
For NFTE, it got me thinking about the students who just recently competed in all our regional youth entrepreneurship challenges – presenting business plans in fields from technology, to apparel, to food, to consulting services and more. They were vying for seed grants and a trip to New York City to compete in the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge on October 3rd for a chance at a $25,000 prize package.
These kids are highly motivating for all of us at NFTE. What struck me this year, and strikes me almost every year, is just how many of them are either immigrants themselves or the children of immigrants. Just like the Center's report says for NYC, immigrant students are over-indexing against other kids in the top echelons of the NFTE program. The report goes into a vast varieties of reasons why this might be the case and lots of good ideas – many already in practice – to make entrepreneurship more accessible to native-born low-income people.
Ultimately, clearly there is something inherent in the 'immigrant dream' that helps these entrepreneurs push through the informal phase of a business and take it to the next level. I live with an immigrant entrepreneur actually and I know personally that dousing the flame of that dream is next to impossible. Hopefully, all of us in this field can figure out how to ignite the immigrant spirit in all entrepreneurs.

This idea popped in my head and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have several Mangal grills (Kabob grills) for grateless cooking, but this also adds more options to my toolbox for such application.
I placed a small drip pan in the center of the Weber grate and aligned the skewers in a circular fashion around it resting one edge of the skewers on the drip pan and the opposite end on the rim of the grill.

A small cast iron pan would also work for this application. I've done the two brick configuration, but I could only fit few skewers with that method. Using this method I could fit more than 30 skewers at the same time
Sorry, no food yet, but this application would be good for Kabobs, Spiedini, Yakitori…etc.
This proves how versatile the Weber Kettle can be

The Department of Theatre studies stage production and the relationship between text and performance. The major requires courses in practical hands-on work as well as the study of theoretical, critical and historical approaches to theatre in order to give students an understanding of all aspects of the art form. The curriculum was developed with an emphasis on professional standards. Courses include acting, playwriting, directing, history, theory, design, and production. Undergraduates may take graduate courses with special permission. Many students who graduate from the program work as actors, directors, stage managers, and designers. Students pursuing a major in theatre must work on theatre productions as part of their requirements for graduation. Graduates who concentrate in developmental drama frequently enter the field as teachers and directors of theatre in education. Students have the opportunity for placement as interns and apprentices with various professional groups.
The BAKER THEATRE BUILDING is the newly-renovated theatre building named for Patty and Jay Baker. It is located at 151 E 67th Street (between Lexington and 3rd Avenues).

well i ve been a total blog jerk. but i have to say they whip the shit out of us here so.....anyway, am kinda zombishhh right now so am doing some little comment on the final jury
so we had, Lebbeus Woods (asked to peter peronally by urs truly) , a couple of other Cook friends, Hernan Diaz alonso and Mark Wigley.
The review was very interesting, with a looooooooot of input from Lebbeus and a lot lot lot of very very very smart comments from Hernan. He never ceases to amaze me on how smart he is ( just in case, am not one of his grouppies) anyway, we got the whole 8 hours on tape so maybe i can post some higlights.
i havent posted anything since way before mid term so i ll just post my last shit and later i ll post process.
the project is basically a system for rapid urbanism driven by consummer demand.
man, i just cheked out the images on site....they look tiiiiiiiiiiiiny feaking
That looks cool and insane. Like a mosquito hatching. Some explanation may be in order. Very parasitic.
Eduardo, congratulations man!
I had Hernan yesterday for my review as well, and he was on top of his game for sure (at least for my project).
you're right about the images, you should put your stuff on flickr or even upload to GSAPP somehow and give us hi-res links. the prints were huge and loked great in person.
it's crazy we're 2/3 done with AAD already
this is John B by the way
your drawings seem (at least at this scale) reminiscent of lebbeus woods' work...they also seem to have been done by hand...i would like to see them at a larger scale...
very nice project, seems like you capitalized on your time with peter.
i was at your review - you're right they do "they whip the shit out of us here". your studio had an amazing jury and some really impressive work. i'm personally still recovering from the final review "hangover"
it's strange how anonymous archinect feels, and then to know that several people at any random project review post here.. it's odd.
i feel all cold and spied-on inside.
shaybug, how did your reviews go? you're M.arch 1, right?
for reals man, there is a couple of Columbia people here o n the shoolblog, i found out my nextdoor neighboor was here!
yes bigger images please. from what i can tell, it looks interesting as hell. you've got to get a kick out of having all of these folks toot your horn for you. but impressive really.

Post-holiday demand was soft again last week making cash cattle marketing a challenge. The Canfax average steer and heifer price closed the week at $116.50/cwt and $115.50/cwt respectively, down $1.00-1.50 from the previous week. The bulk of dressed trade was reported at $195.00/cwt delivered. The strong Canadian dollar effectively restricted American buyer interest last week and few if any local cash cattle traded south. The Alberta fed cash to futures basis strengthened to close the week at -13.43. Canadian fed exports to the US for the week ending December 29th totaled 4,602.
Many commercial auction facilities resumed back to their regular sale schedules and the feeder market was lightly tested. Demand for calves was softer with prices reported $2.00-5.00/cwt lower compared to the end of December. 5-800lb steers and heifers saw prices virtually steady with year-end trade. Last week's 850lb feeder basis was weaker than historical (2008-20012) levels. Reported auction volumes totaled 10,700. Feeder exports to the US for the week ending December 29 totaled 498.
Strengthening US national boner cow prices has in turn supported our domestic market. From the end of December butcher cow prices have strengthened $1.50/cwt. D1, D2 cow price last week averaged $70.00/cwt with live trade reported from $65.00-76.00/cwt. Last week butcher bulls averaged $76.80/cwt and live trade was reported from $68.00-85.00/cwt. Non-fed exports to the US for the week ending December 29th totaled 3,551.
Bull factors
In 14 out of the last 15 trading sessions Select cutouts have closed higher
Last week it was announced that JBS will acquire Canadian operations XL Foods
Market ready supplies still remain quite current
Bear factors
USDA crop production report indicated corn ending stocks were tighter than pre report estimates
Captive fed supplies across North American remain ample which has moderated interest in the cash market
Processing margins remain poor and could force packers to slow production

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Tens of thousands of dollars spent on a national search have gotten Ohio's state school board little farther than a city block in its search for the state's next schools chief.
On Tuesday, the State Board of Education is poised to conclude its second superintendent's search in as many years with a choice between two finalists: Acting State Superintendent Michael Sawyers, and Richard Ross, top education adviser to Gov. John Kasich.
Final interviews were scheduled for Monday, a day ahead of the expected vote by the 19-member board.
Two years ago, after Superintendent Deborah Delisle left the job under political pressure, a search for her replacement ended in the surprise pick of Interim Superintendent Stan Heffner -- after several candidates, including another Kasich education adviser, dropped out of the running.
Heffner ended up resigning amid ethical questions about his relationship with an educational testing contractor. Inspector General Randall Meyer found he had used state email and cellphone accounts to land the job with the testing firm, assigned his state-paid executive secretary to book flights related to the job hunt and used state equipment to send documents for his new home purchase in Texas.
Ostensibly to avoid another embarrassing incident, the bipartisan board voted unanimously to involve a professional consultant. They hired Ray Associates in a contract worth more than $42,000 in fees and estimated expenses.
Thirty candidates applied for the job of leading the Ohio Department of Education and overseeing education policy in America's seventh-largest state. Applicants hailed from 14 U.S. states, New Zealand and Bangkok.
A search committee appointed by Board President Debe Terhar narrowed the field to four, then to the two men perhaps most familiar to the board.
It's an outcome that looks very similar to the last search.
That hunt in 2011 was nationwide in scope but did not involve the help of a consultant.
Heffner, serving in a temporary capacity as Sawyers is now, was the board's surprise pick after three other candidates -- including Kasich's then-chief education adviser Robert Sommers -- dropped out.
Sommers was advised at the time that his ability to do the job would be limited because of a state ethics laws that prevented him from having contact with the governor's office for a year. That law has since been amended so that Ross would not face a similar restriction.
Both Sawyers and Ross have risen to the top of the list despite some baggage.
Sawyers misused a district credit card for more than $800 in personal purchases, including alcohol, when he was superintendent of Perry Local Schools in northeast Ohio. Sawyers has said he mistook the district card for his personal credit card. He repaid the money and was reprimanded by the district in 2010.
Ross was convicted of drunken driving in 2009. He pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in a July 3 incident north of Columbus, paid a $450 fine and had his license suspended for six months. A 3-day jail sentence was suspended, according to Delaware County court records.

Need a light dinner idea that beats the heat and the clock? Watch Bill Granger make his hearty Tomato and Chorizo Salad at 12:30pm ET today and then make it yourself for dinner…
Inspired by his travels to Spain, Bill creates the fresh, bright salad for a family picnic in the country. It only has seven ingredients and you probably already have half of them in your pantry right now.
If a Spanish chorizo isn't to your liking, you can sub in a variety of flavored sausages (even great vegetarian options). We just like this version because the smoked paprika in this pork-based chorizo adds a nice depth of flavor to an otherwise simple salad. Don't forget a delicious, fresh crusty bread to sop up all of the juices.

MOSCOW: One of the Bolshoi ballet's best known ballerinas has fled to Canada after receiving threats as the chief of the troubled company prepares to leave for Germany to receive treatment after an acid attack.
Svetlana Lunkina told the Izvestia daily she had taken leave until the end of the season over troubles stemming from a business dispute over a film in which her husband was involved.
Lunkina said she had already been outside Russia for about six months and that there was no clear link between her problems and the acid attack this month on the Bolshoi ballet's artistic director Sergei Filin.
Nevertheless, the flight of such a high-profile figure underlines the tense atmosphere at the Bolshoi after the attack on Filin, which management blames on internal conflicts.
''I think we need to react to these threats. These people have no right to interfere in our private lives or my professional work,'' Lunkina told Izvestia without making clear the nature of the threats.
Lunkina, with the Bolshoi since 1997, is one of the company's most experienced stars and was to appear this year in a new work by the British choreographer Wayne McGregor.
''I was supposed to be doing a lot of interesting work, including several premieres,'' she said.
Having wowed the public in the Bolshoi's landmark 2011 staging of McGregor's Chroma, Lunkina was expected to take a leading role in his eagerly anticipated new version of the Rite of Spring.
Her prolonged absence from the Bolshoi had already puzzled fans, who initially suspected she had suffered an injury. But rumours spread that she was no longer in Russia.
Ms Lunkina said the threats were linked to a film project that her husband, the producer Vladislav Moskalyev, had been working on featuring the great Russian imperial ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya.
Mr Moskalyev was dropped from the project after he fell out with his business partner, who is now suing him for $US3.7 million ($A3.57 million).
The Bolshoi's spokeswoman Katerina Novikova confirmed to Izvestia that Lunkina had requested leave and it had been approved. She said it was unclear how the company could help given that the dispute was linked to her husband's work.
''Anna Pavlova also left Russia because of the activities of her husband,'' Ms Novikova claimed, referring to the great Russian ballerina who quit her homeland in the early 20th century.
Filin, 42, has had several operations to save his eyesight and repair disfigurement suffered after a masked attacker threw acid into his face and eyes on January 17.
Russia's chief eye doctor, Vladimir Neroyev, told the RIA Novosti news agency that Filin, an acclaimed former dancer, would be sent to a clinic in the German city of Aachen.
Lunkina told Izvestia she believed his attacker ''may not be someone who works at the Bolshoi theatre but someone linked to the theatre and ballet''.

I'm trying "Neon" skin because is one of the skins that can have a Custom Home with Set Playlists (I use it for having Kids and Adult movies separated).
I usually have FilmAffinity (can download info in spanish) or TheMovieDB as scrappers for movies. All with default settings.
For TV Shows I use TheTVDB also with default settings.
So, for a TV show I get the following files at the show level if I export the library:
fanart.jpg (is 1920x1080 and is used by default as a background)
folder.jpg (is something smaller with a banner size; is used for example in MediaView)
season-all.tbn (a thumbnail of a poster/cover for all seasons item)
season01.tbn (a thumbnail of a poster/cover for season 1 ...)
season02.tbn (... and so one)
tvshow.nfo (tv show metadata)
Something similar at the movie level:
Well, I've tried to change settings in the TheTVDB scrapper (like disable "use fanart" option or enable "prefer poster" ) without success. After every change, I remove the TV show from the library, clean the library and delete those jpg,nfo files manually letting only the TV show files. Scan it again into XBMC and exporting the library to several files to see which ones appear or dissapear. But I don't see any changes.
After that, Neon adds add-on "ArtworkDownloader" with some settings for TV/Movies and you can download these items automatically or from every show information page. I've seen that you can have a poster.jpg, banner.jpg, landscape.jpg, clearart.jpg, logo.png, etc.
I know that some of these files are only used by some add-ons (like banner.jpg and poster.jpg are used by TV Guide) but some others I don't know where are they used. For example, in the several views that Neon includes is somewhat confusing which file do I need to download to have it correct. This confusion and the fact that XBMC seems to cache the thumbnails, images, etc. makes it laborious to try every option.
As XBMC/Skin doesn't have an option for "yep, reload all the images in your library from the ones in the hard disk" we must do it by trial and error.
So, would it be possible to have a table, somewhere, with all the possible image files and where they are used? Which artwork uses a view? etc.
Thank you very much for your help and keep with your good job.
PS: I'm using XBMC 11.0 RC2 and Neon skin from the default XBMC add-on repository, so is version 2.5.1 (not NB or GitHub).

Topic: PA/NJ Cholangio Crew
Hi, all.
We met today for lunch. Eric, Chris, Mary, Renee and Karen were able to join me. We did a lot of talking... Introduced ourselves and discussed each others journeys so far. Then moved on to travel plans... I think Eric is planning on being away from home more than at home for a while!
It's great to hear of people making plans. Even though things are stable and my doc visits are only 2x a month, I still have problems making plans after all this time! I hope to change that soon.
We also talked to Marion by speaker phone. I even pulled up a photo from a couple of years ago so everyone could see what she looked like.
I hope that others can join us next time... Maybe early November?

Fiery wreck kills 1, closes eastbound I-10
Updated 11:01 pm, Friday, July 27, 2012
One person was killed in a three-vehicle wreck on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 Friday evening, about 20 miles east of San Antonio. The accident backed up traffic for about four miles.
The wreck happened when an 18-wheeler truck clipped a tow truck and pickup that were on the shoulder of the road. The tow truck driver, who had just finished replacing a tire on the pickup, was hit by the big rig and died at the scene.
Skid marks visible from the side of the road seem to indicate that the 18-wheeler then veered from the slow lane into the fast lane and into the freeway's median, near a bridge, where it later erupted into a fireball. The driver escaped without injury.
News Channel
"Why he got hit, I don't know," said Sgt. E.M. Conger, of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, who added that both the tow truck and the pickup were well clear of the oncoming traffic.
Conger added that the driver of the tanker did not appear to be impaired.
Sheriff's deputies closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 around FM 1518 and diverted traffic onto the feeder road.
Conger was not sure what time the freeway would be reopened.

Just a couple of notes about some tech stuff involving this blog … and believe me, it's not so technical.
First and foremost, our friend Jeff Marx — who some of you have dubbed one of the lost Marx brothers — who is a big Buffalo Sabres fan and hockey fan in general, and who did so much to help this blog, whether it be showing me how to turn it on, or how to post audio, or the new designs, or making it user friendly for those with mobile devices, setting up the schedules and stats and Star Watch at the top of the page, creating the twitter widgets to follow the news and the players' tweets, etc., etc, etc. … well, he's leaving The Journal News/LoHud.com this week.
I think Monday's his last day. We all owe him our gratitude. Especially me. Good luck, Jeff. And thank you.
Second, I learned today how to do those Coveritlive "live chats" … or at least, I was shown how to do it (whether I actually learned, we'll soon find out). So I want to do these pretty regularly during the season. I'm thinking, we want to do them mostly on weekdays (when you guys are pretending to be at work, but on your computers), mid-days seem to be the busiest. So that's probably the timetable. Since ya boys are playing Monday night, and I'll have my game review Tuesday and then they don't play again until Thursday, I'm thinking the first one would be Wednesday around lunchtime.
You'll be able to come on and directly ask questions, or make comments, and we can have discussions live. I know, it's sort of what we do anyway, but this will be a slightly different forum, and this way we'll all know that this is when the discussion will happen, and I'll be here to field the questions or react to the comments, instead of the randomness with which I usually pop in and out and interact with youse.
This isn't like the live video chats we used to do with Sam, or Jane, or Laurel. This is all on the screen, in the confines of the blog, no video (bonus for you guys who don't have to see me). We can still do a few of those video chats later on, too.
These chats will be simpler and we can do them more frequently.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Questions?

First off, i am so glad that I came across this site. I am new I guess at smoking (about 3 years). I mostly have done pork ribs, brisket and a turkey last thanksgiving. I was born in Ohio but didnt know what smoking was till I moved to Texas some 8 years ago. My question is, when doing chicken breast, how long should I smoke them? I am going to be smoking for a wedding this july. Besides the ribs and brisket I have been asked to do chicken breast. These breasts are the ones that you get from walmart or costco. They are about 1 lb each. My main worry is that the chicken ends up being dried out. I am going to try to experiment with some before than but was just wondering if anyone out there have done this or have any good ideas.
Also I have just come across what a 'mop' is. I heard that there are mops out there that have like a lid around the handle so you can close it within a jar of your mop. But I have only seen a regular mop on the net. I havent seen any in the stores here yet, but havent been to a true BBQ shop. Is this something that someone has modified or can you buy such a thing out there. Thanks for the advice/help in advance

Alleged HTC One X and One S renders plus full specifications leak prematurely
21 Comments
1. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
I'm gonna go ahead and say its 1080p at 60fps on the one x.
4. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i would hope that the quadcore would bring it to 60fps as well. it better be daaarn smooth. I was hoping that quads would bring a big improvement to software camera quality (as well as better hardware in tow)
15. cheetah2k (Posts: 1746; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
HTC need this to be a super selling phone - or they're in for a rough 2012 financially...
I will say that I am SO SO glad HTC decided not to wait for Qalcomm to release their quad core variant. Nvidia inside could be just what the doctor ordered.
18. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
actually qualcomms quad core will probably be quite a bit better than the tegra 3 with its A-15 architecture. just like the dual core destroys the competition
2. bayhuy (Posts: 320; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
One S has 1.5 Ghz processor...
12. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
yes and....
3. itiswhatitis (Posts: 423; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)
Well i hope its cheaper elsewhere, the prices are astonishing!!
5. StreetNerd (Posts: 836; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
Typical HTC design.... boring
7. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Yea, they are starting to look like the iPhone same borring design ,HTC you disappoint me on the design ( please update )
13. Doakie (Posts: 2227; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Really? HTC has had a dozen(?) similar yet different designs in 2011. It creates a brand image that has a design likeness. Apple has had TWO designs in five years!!! I think there's a big difference. NO ONE is as lazy as Apple in the design department.
19. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Samsung has had the exact same design on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR PHONES since 2010. the Droidx, dx2 and bionic are all the same and the razr, D4 and previous droids all look the same
6. Jamus (Posts: 30; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
Please come to Verizon One X ... >.<
8. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Let's hope that battery life will be improved by that Tegra 3 like they say, or one x will be a flop with that size of a battery
20. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
My only gripes with those devices mentioned above is the battery capacity it packs, at the very least they could have made it 2000 mAh.
9. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
that tone in the article is ignorant..one s has a great processor, if not even better than that of one x, despite of being "only dual core".
it's a fourth generation snapdragon
10. checkmymike (Posts: 172; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
Why do htc phones look the same? Cant they make a design that will distinguish one from the other?
11. mightyillidan (Posts: 20; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
are u f**king kidding me
first of all batteries sux
second wtf 950 and 800 are u kidding me
the diffrence between them is too damn small compared to the diffrence of thier costs lol and 800 lol the sensation xe xosts less than 500 and have hardware near to the one of the one s if these are prices sorry htc ur loosing it
only good thing in this renders that there will be the black and white beats paint jobs in those phones lol
14. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
You need to read the article again, it says that those prices are what was suggested, I'm sure the actual costs will be way lower
17. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
The XE and the one S are not similar. The XE is a super LCD and the one S is super AMOLED. The XE is fatter and has a S3 not a S4. They also have different camera sensor.
21. mightyillidan (Posts: 20; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
that shouldnotr mean extra 450 lol
16. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Everything seems to be right where it should be tech wise except the all illusive battery. Motorola has already proved that you can fit an amaingly large capacity of a batter in a device. Whether this should be the standard now is up for question but its proven. With that in mind, the battery specs even with enhanced measures for battery life on the device is still paltry. How could it have all those internals and a weak battery?
A step in the right direction but that battery, eh.

I am doing a level 34 quest (at level 36) that requires me to travel to Mor Dhona. I tried treking it by chocobo and came across dozens of extremely high level mobs (up to level 99???!!!). I eventually died when some lvl 79 dragon whacked me once and killed me off my chocobo. Couple of questions here:
a.) I thought the cap was 50? Who would ever be able to defeat level 99 mobs? Seems impossible even with a party of 20 level 50s.
b.) What is the safest way to get there and once there, is everything also going to be extremely high level?

THE commanding officer of a lieutenant colonel accused of fraudulently claiming nearly £220,000 to send his children to a top public school told a court today of his surprise at discovering he had split from his wife.
Colonel Peter Russell said he never suspected that Lt Col Robert Henry Jolleys was separated and only discovered the truth when Judith Jolleys rang him out of the blue.
Jolleys, 52, is accused of claiming the school fees from the Army so he could send his three sons to an exclusive school.
As he was separated from his wife it was likely he would have lost the taxpayer-funded allowance, so it is alleged he continued to maintain he was living with Mrs Jolleys in married quarters provided by the Army.
Jolleys, of Woodlands Park in Whalley, Clitheroe, Lancashire, is on trial at Swindon Crown Court accused of five charges of obtaining a money transfer by deception, three charges of fraud and three charges of forgery.
It is alleged that the father-of-three, who has since left the Army, claimed £218,094.11 in continuing education allowance between January
2002 and December 2009 to send his sons to public school.
The allowance allows service personnel to send their children to boarding school and prevents any disruption to their schooling.
The court has heard that Jolleys, who is known as Henry, was legitimately claiming the allowance until 2002 when he separated from his wife.
He is accused of not informing his superiors of the split - therefore creating a change in his circumstances - meaning he may have no longer received the allowance.
Yesterday, jurors heard Mrs Jolleys explain that she rang Col Russell in the summer of 2009 because her estranged husband would not tell her where his next posting was.
Col Russell said today the telephone call came out of the blue and it was during that conversation he learned of the separation.
"I was surprised to hear Mrs Jolleys on the phone," he told the court.
"I cannot remember the exact words but it was something like 'Hello Peter, I'm ringing you because I am unsure to where Henry is posted'.
"I said 'This is very surprising Mrs Jolleys, are you not married to him?' and I said he was being posted to Shrivenham."
Col Russell explained that Mrs Jolleys then confirmed she had split from her husband.
"She said 'No, I have been separated from Henry for four years and I live in London'," he told the court.
"I said to Mrs Jolleys that I was assuming she was married because Lt Col Jolleys had married quarters at Upavon and to be eligible to a married quarter you have to satisfy a number of rules."
Col Russell told the jury of six men and six women that following Mrs Jolleys' admission he informed his own commanding officer and the Royal Military Police because he was concerned there might have been a breach of regulations.
"I reported the matter to my director and I informed him I was going to take the matter to the Special Investigation Branch," he told the court.
Yesterday, Mrs Jolleys told the court that she and her husband had effectively separated in 2002 when she remained in London following his posting to North Yorkshire and she asked him for a divorce the following year.
In 2007, Mrs Jolleys saw another solicitor about a divorce, which was finally agreed in 2010.
After the Army investigation began, Jolleys applied for retrospective re-classification of his status to that of "primary carer" - meaning he had parental responsibility for his children and not his wife - and he could continue claiming the school allowance.
Jolleys is accused of bullying his wife into agreeing that he was the primary carer and to support his claims, it is alleged he forged his wife's signature on official documents to their bank and Stonyhurst College.
He denies all the charges.
