Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota will break ground today on an expansion and renovation to its St. Paul campus.
The plan includes modernizing the hospital's operating room, expanding its emergency department and creating a new suite for its pediatric epilepsy center.
Dr. Alan Goldbloom is president and CEO of Children's. He says the hospital will also make all of its rooms private.
"This is no longer viewed as a luxury in hospital care. This is actually seen as the standard of care. And one of the most important reasons is actually the prevention of hospital-acquired infection. Having kids mix in with each other when they're very ill is not always a healthy thing," said Goldbloom.
Work on the St. Paul campus is expected to take three years or more. The hospital will remain open during the project.
Children's is also renovating and expanding its Minneapolis campus. That work began in October.
The two projects will cost approximately $300 million dollars.
Some lawmakers and health industry observers had hoped that Children's would merge with the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, Fairview, rather than invest more money in separate pediatric campuses.
But president and CEO, Dr. Alan Goldbloom, says the merger idea didn't come together in time to meet Children's needs.
"Children's is still the single largest provider of care to children with cancer, with prematurity and with congenital heart disease in the entire region. We're doing such huge volumes that we simply have to bring our facilities up to date. We couldn't wait any longer," Goldbloom said.
The University of Minnesota Children's Hospital announced last year that it is spending $175 million dollars to expand its facility.

Trading can be a very complex task at times, though at others, it can be pretty basic. The problem comes when traders try to complicate an uncomplicated situation.
Here is a simple trade idea on a stock that looks like it want to continue to move higher:
The trade: Buy the September 36 calls for 65 cents or less.
The strategy: The long call is probably the most well-known strategy in options. Generally, it is used for a bullish outlook on the underlying. For this trade to profit, BBT needs to move higher, and the call premium needs to increase to an amount more than was paid. Maximum profit is theoretically unlimited because BBT can continue to rise, and the maximum loss is 65 cents or whatever was paid for the option if BBT finishes below $36 at September expiration. Breakeven is $36.65 at expiration based on a cost of 65 cents.
The rationale: BB&T is a bank that has been doing really well this year, up 23% year-to-date and coming off a great earnings report that showed profits up 6.9% year-over-year. It also recently declared its next dividend payment — a 23-cent quarterly distribution payable Aug. 9 that translates into a 2.6% annual yield on current prices.
Click to Enlarge If we look at the chart, since the middle of April, BBT shares have been climbing higher. The stock has a minor pivot area around $36 which it needs to clear, and then it looks like the next area of resistance will be around $38. Buying a call option with some time until expiration can capture the potential move.
Sometimes — like when a chart appears to be so straightforward and trending higher, as is the case here — a simple strategy is the best strategy.
As of this writing, John Kmiecik did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

And for the most part, the effects of that occasional indulgence are of little consequence. But for couples trying to achieve pregnancy, many of these lifestyle choices can make getting pregnant much more difficult.
"Achieving a healthy pregnancy is one of the most natural processes the human body goes through," says Dr Mark Leondires, MD, Medical Director at Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut, and a leading authority on reproductive medicine. "Yet, it is also one of the most complex and, at times, elusive. It's precisely because of the intricacy of the process, and the delicate balance of hormones and timing involved, that we need to take a hard look at lifestyle as a key factor in infertility," Dr Leondires adds.
The common denominator for all of these vices is that each one has some kind of effect on the reproductive system, whether at the glandular or organic levels. "Much research has been done in this area over the past decade and the news can be quite sobering," Dr Leondires notes. He offers this information and advice on the "Big Four" vices that can contribute to infertility:
Recreational drugs
Recreational drug use should be stopped for men or for women while attempting pregnancy. In men, cocaine use has been found to lower sperm counts and reduce the sperms' motility, while increasing the number of abnormal sperm. Also for men, a chemical called THC in marijuana has been shown to lower sperm counts and reduce the amount of seminal fluid, both of which are detrimental to achieving pregnancy. In women, marijuana may arrest the ovulation process and suppress the hypothalamus gland, which regulates hormone function. And cocaine use prior to conception may be linked to a higher risk of birth defects. Dr. Leondires adds, "What's more, it can take the body months to fully rid itself of residual drugs, so the best thing to do for fertility is to stop recreational drug use as soon as a couple has decided to become pregnant."
Smoking cigarettes
Women who want to become pregnant should quit smoking, because the compounds in cigarette smoke have been linked to primary infertility. A recent study found that the compounds in cigarette smoke affect the ovaries, disrupt endocrine function and proper pituitary hormone release, and may contribute to irregular periods, infertility and early menopause. Earlier research identified cigarette smoke as a risk factor for primary fallopian tube infertility. "Cigarette smoking is a vice that can affect not only a patient's ability to achieve a healthy pregnancy, but also to carry that pregnancy to term. And, it can have long- term health consequences for mother and baby. The best advice is to talk with your doctor about how best to quit prior to attempting conception," Dr Leondires urges.
Caffeine makes conception more difficult, even for fertile women, and studies now suggest that even one cup of coffee per day can reduce a woman's chances of getting pregnant within a 12-month period by more than 50 percent. Three cups of day, and the odds drop by more than 175 percent. In addition, there is evidence that caffeine consumption among smokers is even more detrimental for fertility. "Although the caffeine debate is far from settled, I encourage patients to stay on the safe side and drink plenty of water and other decaffeinated beverages while trying to get pregnant," says Leondires.
Alcohol is a depressant that works on sperm as well as on eggs. "From low sperm counts and temporary impotence in men, to disruption of the ovulatory and menstrual cycles in women, to an overall depression of libido for both sexes, alcohol has a suppressive effect on fertility," Leondires notes. And the effects are noted for moderate as well as heavy drinkers. Best bet: Abstain until delivery.
It is estimated by the National Institutes of Health that infertility affects approximately 10% of all couples of childbearing age. Dr. Leondires encourages couples who have tried for at least 12 months to achieve pregnancy without success -- or six months if the woman is over age 35 -- to contact a reproductive medicine specialist for assistance.

Training, New Equipment and Job Creation: A Firm-level Analysis using Moroccan Data
Using a sample of 664 large, medium- and small-sized firms covering seven industries in Morocco, this article investigates whether the difference in their attitudes toward investment in human and physical capital explains their difference in terms of job creation. The lessons drawn from this investigation are expected to be useful for other least developed countries. The results support that such investment allows firms to create jobs, and this is robust to the inclusion of various additional explanatory variables, firm size and the industry coverage of the sample.Le papier examine l'impact de l'investissement en capital physique et humain sur la création d'emploi dans les entreprises marocaines. L'analyse économétrique est menée sur un échantillon de 664 entreprises de tailles et secteurs différents. Les enseignements tirés de cette analyse devraient être utiles à d'autres pays en développement. Les résultats montrent une forte relation de cause à effet entre l'investissement aussi bien en capital physique qu'humain et la création nette d'emploi dans les entreprises qui le réalisent. Cette conclusion résiste à différents tests de robustesse comme l'inclusion de variables explicatives additionnelles et la distinction des entreprises selon la taille et le secteur d'activité.

The Winslow Bulldogs defeated the Ganado Hornets 52-0 in their Homecoming Game. The win improved Winslow's record to 5-3 for the season. Ganado fell to 5-3 with the loss.
The Bulldogs started strong in the first quarter and built a 27-0 lead going into the second period. There was really no question about the outcome before that period was over. The Bulldog offence moved at will and the defense handled Ganado with no problems.
James Martinez completed three long passes to three different receivers and ran the final yard to finish a 65-yard drive on Winslow's openings possession. The conversion failed and the Bulldogs led 6-0.
The next time Winslow had the ball Martinez passed three yards to Henry Montiel for a touchdown. The 49-yard drive took only three plays, with the longest being a 38-yard run by C.J. Chacon, who ran for nearly 100 yards in the quarter. Rodney Davis converted for a 13-0 Winslow lead. Davis missed a 38-yard field goal attempt on Winslow's only non-scoring possession in the first quarter.
Jace Hardy ran four yards for a touchdown on Winslow's next possession and Davis converted for a 20-0 Winslow lead.
Martinez intercepted a Ganado pass and rambled 70 yards for a touchdown near the end of the first quarter and Davis converted for a 27-0 lead as the quarter ended.
Winslow had a scoring opportunity midway in the second quarter, but Davis missed a 27-yard field goal attempt.
The Bulldogs got their first score of the second quarter with just over two minutes left in the half on a 38-yard pass from Martinez to Montiel. The conversion failed and Winslow led 33-0.
Winslow threatened in the final minute of the half but did not score, walking off with a 33-0 halftime lead.
Akeem Foster ran four yards for the first score of the second half. Nick Thomas converted to increase the Winslow lead to 40-0.
The Bulldogs scored on a 53-yard drive climaxed by a four-yard pass from Martinez to Davis. The conversion failed and Winslow had a 46-0 lead. That score brought the mercy rule into effect.
Davis booted a 41-yard field goal with about two minutes left in the third quarter and increased the Winslow lead to 49-0. That was the score entering the final period.
On the first possession of the fourth quarter Davis booted a 37-yard field goal that increased the Winslow lead to 52-0.
Winslow reserves played much of the third quarter and all of the fourth. The victory was never in doubt and the young Bulldogs got plenty of valuable playing time.
Winslow completely dominated the statistics with 374 yards running, including 195 by Chacon, who is a sophomore. The Bulldogs had 152 yards passing.
Ganado was held scoreless with 115 yards rushing and only 20 passing.
The Bulldogs will host the Chinle Wildcats on Friday, Oct. 26, in their Senior Night game. The Wildcats are 1-7 after falling to Page 33-12 last weekend.

68% of UK men 'overweight or obese'
The nation's obesity crisis has been highlighted with new figures that show that j ust a third of middle-aged British men are not overweight.
Sixty eight per cent of men are either overweight or obese, figures show.
This compares to half (49%) of women, according to the Institute of Education, University of London.
After measuring the body mass index of almost 10,000 people in their early forties, researchers said that although men in this age group seemingly have more cause for concern about their weight, they are less likely to be worried about excess pounds than their female counterparts.
Three in 10 men who were overweight believed they were "about the right weight" compared to only 9% of women.
And 41% of overweight men said they were making efforts to shed some weight compared to two thirds of women
Dr Alice Sullivan, from the Institute's Centre for Longitudinal Studies, said: "People who are overweight or obese face a higher risk of many health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
"But carrying excess weight is far more socially acceptable for men than for women, and men will not respond to health messages about weight and obesity if they do not recognise that they are overweight. This is a particular concern given that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for men aged 35 and over."
The researchers also found that men and women born in 1970 are considerably more likely to be obese at age 42 than those born in 1958 were at the same age.
"People born in 1970 grew up at a time when lifestyles were becoming increasingly inactive and high-calorie convenience foods were widely available for the first time," Dr Sullivan added.
"We know that both exercise and diet are important for maintaining a healthy weight. But our findings show that ready meals, frozen foods, and takeaways are popular with this generation, while nearly a third of women and a quarter of men do no vigorous exercise in a typical week.
"It may seem surprising that more men do vigorous exercise than women, even though they are more likely to be overweight or obese. This suggests that poor diet is a key factor affecting men's weight in particular."

" Brand: Trixe / Type: Fish Tank / Aquarium Ornaments "
When my hubby bought me my Aquarium, he was told that we should think carefully about how we would want to decorate it because it is just as important to do that as to buying your fish. So you need to think about the gravel you want, air pebbles, filters and heaters, plants and other decorations.
The reason why it is important is because it makes life for your fish more comfortable. It is said that most fish know that they are prey for one another and other animals, which is why when you purchase fish you will often see signs that tell you whether or not your fish are community fish, meaning they live well amongst others or whether they can only live alongside other types of fish similar to their own breed. That said as soon as one of your fish becomes ill or is the weaker one; the other fish will gang up on it and bully it. So the decorations play a part in making sure your fish do not become stressed or uncomfortable, by that I mean that if they are exposed and feel vulnerable they become stressed and then ill and death soon follows.
One of the first items I bought for my aquarium was this Trixie Ship Wreck which I purchased from the Marine centre form where I get my fish. I decided that I would have plants in the back two corners of my Aquarium and then at least one big feature in the centre of the tank and one or two smaller items, not wanting to over-crowd the space in there so that the fish had plenty of space to swim around. The reason I settled on the Trixie Ship Wreck is because it allows the fish to swim around it and there are holes that allow them to swim through it and hide in it. I also have red crabs in my tank and they need items that allow them to hide and climb too, so this seemed like the perfect starter item so that I could see how my fish and crabs lived alongside one another and as time went on, I could either get something a little bigger, something a little smaller or change the layout entirely, it isn't until you get to know your fish that you really know what they like.
So the Trixie Ship wreck retailed at £8.99 when I purchased it and if you look online the price isn't too much similar in that you can expect to pay between £10 and £8 for it and it is available from quite a few different retailers, some differing in design. It is made of polyester resin making it quite durable and easy to clean and is one of those items which is really easy to clean, again an important factor when decorating your aquarium is cleaning the items you have purchased ensuring they stay algae clear, this ship wreck is simply cleaned using warm water and then allowing it cool and dry at room temperature with no need for soap or other cleaning agents. It is around 25 cm in length, so you need to think about how big your aquarium is and whether or not this would take up too much space. Within my aquarium it sits nicely at an angle with space on all four sides for smaller decorative items and plants. To look at the ship itself, which is made to look like it is made of brown wood, is designed to look like it has landed or hit a sand bank at the bottom of the sea, to the bottom of the ship are holes of different sizes for the fish to swim through and there is also space inside the ship for the fish to be able to hide. Decoratively around the ship are bits of algae and seaweed so it looks authentic and then there are chunks of missing 'wood' in and around the ship as you would expect to find on a ship wreck.
Once in the tank and as soon as my fish noticed this ship wreck they were all curious enough to swim around it and one of the two more braver fish were straight in swimming through the holes and pecking away at the ship wreck. To the sides of my ship wreck I also placed two skulls, keeping with the ship wreck theme and a starfish, all of which allowed the fish to swim in and around.
Sadly a few weeks back I had a bit of an accident with this ship wreck and dropped it on the kitchen floor which is tiled and it cracked down one side. So deciding it was not a good idea to put it back into my aquarium, I am today going back to the marine centre to get a newer version that I have seen which is slightly bigger in length and width and with more holes for swimming through.
Overall it is a brilliant item, it makes your tank look decorative and can be used as part of a theme. My fish also really liked it and it was constantly used by them and I have had it for just under 2 years, so it lasts a really long time and takes only a few minutes of your time to clean it. So definitely worth its money and a nice item to have.
The classic extra aquarium decoration.

Anyone Fly the DAW Dragonette Micro HLG???
Hello Everyone
I really enjoy reading all of your great threads on some really interesting topics, and I'm always hoping to add value, while getting some great information that I can use. Today is such a day...
I just completed the construction of my new DAW Dragonette Micro HLG. I tried a few test glides at a tiny park near my house (not much bigger than a suburban home lot) and I found the performance stable.
Today I took the little baby to work with me, and on lunchbreak, I drove to a park right on San Francisco Bay -- not too far from work. I can really get usaed to this Micro HLG stuff in that it takes up almost no room in the car and carrying it to the flying site is a breeze
So I threw it about 20 or 30 times and I was able to slope a little bit. The winds were coming up the slope, but they didn't seem too strong. I figured it was perfect conditions for an HLG.
I was surprised in how unremarkable the performance of the Dragonette was. I'm guessing that the oncoming storm clouds may have been chilling the air to where the only lift came from the slight breeze up the slope. Maybe there were no apreciable thermals in the area and that made for uneventful flying as well. For some reason, I just expected the little guy to really stick in light conditions.
When I was carrying the plane back to the car, I looked at it and realized that compared to most HLGs that I've seen, the wingspan-to-fuse length ratio was pretty small. In other words, it sort of looked like the wings are a bit short for a plane of this size. In my beginner pilot's feeble mind, I was guessing that this thing has a poorer L/D because of this.
At any rate, I can say that this baby flies infinitely better than my DAW 1-26 2-meter in the same conditions, so it's a keeper. I know that I can at least get a few minutes of stick time, where in the same conditions, I might be flying for a few seconds with the 1-26.
Dave gave me some simple tips on making the wing detachable, as I want to be able to pack this plane into a small package for whan I take trips. It's pretty small when removing the wing. I used 3/32 light ply with an epoxied-on nylon 6-32 nut. The second bolt-point was made by drilling and tapping directly through the boom. It's nice to have something that comes apart so easily and cleanly.
OK, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Now it's your turn...
Tell me about your experience with your DAW Dragonette Micro HLG -- how it flies, how you like it, what you don't like about it, etc...
I realy appreciate all of your wisdom and experience.
Have a great day and Happy flying ;-)

I have one...i guess i was unimpressed. It will glide, but i actually broke loose the middle of the wing on a not-that-hard throw.the tail is extra fragile. I have one unbuilt in the box, and the next time i want to build one, CF spar for the wing, and V-tail. I'll have to thrash it so i can get the servos out for my next plane.
Hello Mighty Mik and Marked ;-)
Here's today's report...
I went to Cal State Hayward -- one of our SF Bay Area slope sites. The winds were excellent for sloping from when I arrived at 1:00 PM until sundown. I spent the entire time flying my DAW Schweizer 1-26 2-meter. Close to sundown the wind speed finally dropped a bit and I decided to try the Dragonette.
I had a nice flight and then I handed it to my two buddies who both have their own Dragonette's still in the box. They said they thought it performed pretty well. One guy mentioned that it needs some nose weight.
What surprised me is that it withstood the ~5 mph winds. I was expecting it to get thrashed realy bad. I expected that being such a small delicate plane, it would only be good for days with no wind.
So my uneventful first flights have been eclipsed by very nice flights on a light sloping day. I'll keep it ;-)
Thanks again for all of your stories. Happy Flying
Latest Flight Report...
WOW -- 110 people have read this thread and only 3 have entered messages -- to bad
Well, for those of you that are interested, here's the latest entry...
Today I took the Dragonette to Del Valle Regional Park in Livermore, CA. They have a canyon that works with roughly west winds. The wind was barely working today, but it was perfect for a Mosquito class HLG ;-)
I managed to keep the Dragonette flying when most of the Zagis, and other flying wings that are regulars at that site, were grounded. One of the flyers on hand today is a gentleman that is the president of the local soaring club. His own HLG was a bit too heavy and he had a frown on his face. I let him fly the little Dragonette for about 20 minutes and I saw his smile return when he brought it back to me ;-)
I used a small Nmhd 100 mah pack and today was the first time that I ran it dry. I noticed that control input would make the surfaces travel in a really jerky fashion. I checked the pack with my meter and noticed that it was way at the bottom of the red zone (about 4v). That was the end of the day for the Dragonette.
All of that being said, I got about two hours of good flying while my Schweizer 1-26 2-meter was grounded. I was amazed in that on this type of day, the only thing I could fly before, was my Push-E Cat electric.
I highly recommend the Dragonette Micro HLG for anyone that wants a saiplane that will fly in extremely light lift. Bear in mind that they are a bit delicate, so you have to be careful to avoid really dorking it in. It flies very nicely, and is very relaxing. Since it's a polyhedral wing with elevator-rudder only, it's not going to perform amazing aerobatics, but it just might be the trick for those days when all of your sport planes are grounded.
Happy flying ;-)
I'm planning on flying my i-26 this week for the first time... I was also interested in the micro hlg's, including the ww2-type ones... I wonder if a little ballasting to punch throught the wind would help...
I have heard that a guy ar my local field (RSA) hooked his up to a high start and zinged the thing into the stratosphere! maybe worth a shot for the heck of it...
Hello opualuan
As I recall, you fly over at Rancho San Antonio Park in Cupertino - is that right???
If so, and you don't mind a 20 mile drive, you might consider bringing your DAW Schweizer 1-26 to Cal State Hayward this weekend.
As long as the onshore winds are working (roughly 240 - 280 degrees), you're bound to see at least a few slope pilots up there. A lot of newcomers to that site enjoy the show unwittingly put on by our resident advanced pilots. These two guys spend a lot of their time dynamic soaring with these beautiful Y2Ks and Icons. It's pretty amazing. On sunday, one guy was clocked at 120 mph. Pretty cool stuff ;-)
On a good daym that site is a great place to fly.
I hope to see you up there. My 1-26 has a yellow fuse with white wings. The Dragonette is blue and white. I'm pretty sure it would be the only one on the hill ;-)
Happy flying
yes, I fly parkfliers at RSA... that sounds like a good idea... would it be a bad idea for me to try to slope my i-26 as my first run with a sailplane? maybe you could help me trim it out? I've had a lot of sim practice and a fair amount of no-crash stick time with my cannonshot slowflier, that's pretty aerobatic and not all that slow... I somehow doubt I'm gonna get a 15oz saiplane into a thermal handlaunching on pretty level ground at rsa... if I could chuck it off a hill though... when are you gonna be there? my i-26 is bright red with blue and white arrows on the underside of the wings (orientation), and I fly airtronics gear...
Hello Opualuan ;-)
I sent you a message so we could connect up for this weekend.
As to your question regarding the DAW 1-26, whether we fly at Cal State Hayward, Coyote Hills, or Del Valle, the 1-26 will do just fine.
Based on your description of your flying background, I'm sure you'll have no problem.
That being said, I have a good friend that will likely be joining us this coming weekend that is as good an authority as I know on CG and trim. He's also a pretty good instructor.
It will be great to meet you and see your airplanes. Bring everything you have except for the gas planes. The three sites I mentioned have very inviting regulars, but I don't think they invite gas-powered planes.
Of yeah -- as to your question regarding all-up weight and thermals... as long as we can get some good lift coming up the slope, and there are som ethermals out there, you'll eventually find a few. I've been to these sites on days when all I could find was ridge lift, but even with that, I still found it enjoyable to patiently work the lift.
Happy flying ;-)

I received the following item(s) for in exchange for a fair and honest review. Although I received the item for review, the opinions stated are 100% my own.
Jeanstraps now sells touchscreen gloves along with their jeanstraps. Here is some info on the company.
Jean Straps was created by Tni Newhoff and Erin Tocalino, who found a practical solution to the challenge of wearing jeans tucked into boots.
These clip-on removable stirrups minimize bunching and make pulling on your boots over your jeans a breeze.
A lot of us have smart phones now. Have you ever tried to use your phone with regular gloves? Not so easy is it? Jean Straps now has the answer! Touchscreen gloves.
Here is the description
Keep your hands and fingers warm while using your smart phone this winter! These smart gloves are the answer to those cold days. They work with any smart phone, iPhone or Android device.
They retail $9.99 and come in the following color choices: Purple + pink, Blue + white, Green, Fuscia, Grey + Black, and Black.
I love these gloves. Now my hands stay warm while I obsessively play with my phone. I love the color choices.
My hands get cold very easy. I've used these gloves in the house. I am still able to type on the computer, or use my tablet while wearing them. Very useful.
These would make a great gift for teens and adults a like. I highly recommend them.

I stopped reading after that but then again I never read your posts.How exactly are you expecting anyone to take your posts seriously when you say Forza looks like a PS2 Game?
GT HD?... it has fake effects everywhere, reflections, lightning, shadowing... all of them are plain and fake that's why they don't take much processing power and manage to impress unskilled eyes, like yours for example.
Now, I would bet real money on that Forza 2 will be rated above Motorstorm. I don't know if it's going to look better, but I'm positive its sense of speed will be ages beyond Motorstorm, which only runs at 30Fps being forza at double that framerate.
All you've seen from the game are early screens btw, so I don't how which magic crystal ball told you how the game is going end up looking like in the end. (June 2007)
Also, I see you guys praying for the US version of Motorstorm to have multiplayer when at this side of the street, we all know for damn sure that Forza 2 and very other decent racing game will feature multiplayer on Xbox Live.
First and foremost, Halo was never praised for being the top notch looking game of its era (except for Halo CE) but yet its gameplay swept the floor with most games. That's what boosted it to stratospheric ratings and massive sales and that's exactly what we're expecting from the game. Visuals are only a side plus for Halo.
How does this work again? Slight improvements for Xbox games and huge overhauls on Ps3 ones? nice, very nice.

Wow the defence force switched members again...
Assasin by not reading Aquanox's posts you are really missing out, but thta snota first for you is it?
And for the other guy saying I'm acting like a child...I'm just responding to all of your little buddies.
But seriously, you guys are ignoring the no scaler on the ps3

no is just that rune finally has a prominent feature to brag about but seriously do you think this issue protrudes beyond a rather small niche of people with those particular tvs compared to the major issues that affected the 360 at launch?
there were so many that affected experience it isn't even funny but no lets brag about the minor issue that is currently plaguing the PS3 talk about blind consumers.We bow down to thee oh great Don Florentino Perez....

Ummm... Read a little more carefully next time. I'm not saaying Forza looks like a PS2. But the jump in quality from the best we've seen in Forza 2 and GT HD is like comparing a PS2 game to a PS3 game.
And I can see you've never actually seen or played GT HD. Kind of like you hadn't ever owned a 360 up until a month ago and have been making blind statements:
Sorry for posting this yet again folks, but I guess my eyes just aren't trained like Aquanox's are. Sorry for my newbie eyes. I just am really struggling here. Sorry guys!
If you want some of my first hand impressions even on a crappy standard def TV, you can see some of my screens here:
As for Motorstorm, it's confirmed Online for the US version. Again, do us a favor and do some research before you make yourself look silly. And yeah. Actually the reflections on the cars are of the environments in GT HD.
Looking forward to seeing the final screens of Forza. And this isn't even GT 5 yet. When you can show me screens that look even close to this, I'll be quiet. Oh wait. These screens look fake! Sorry. My untrained eyes just aren't used to this yet!
Come on guy. I can easily admit that Gears of War has way better graphics than Resistance. Most of the ports are better on the 360 thus far. Live is WAYYY better than PSN. Please don't put your blinders on so tight that your eyes are crossed. It really makes you look silly.

01-04-2007 #214
Sorry, but that comparison is just embarrasing . And Forza 2 is one of the games I'm looking forward to as well. Maybe my eyes need 'training'. How do I go about doing such a thing aquanox? Ah, never mind, found 'em:

don't even compare GTHD and Forza Motorsport because is embarrassing to the non-wearing goggles gamers.We bow down to thee oh great Don Florentino Perez....
01-04-2007 #216
What's with you and backgrounds? Look at the cars for crying out loud. LOL!
Here are the backgrounds of this GT 5 filler game:
3D moving crouds, with 3D mountains, flags waving realistically. Will look a lot better though in GT 5 I'm sure. Looking forward to the final Forza screens. It'll be fun to train my eyes to be as good as Aquanox's eyes.

Ok...so lets get this straight we left the issue of the scaler completely and the whole point of this thread to go off on something else since you could not argue about teh scaler?

Its kind of embarassing to argue with them when they do that...its like denial
01-04-2007 #221
We now have confirmation that it was in fact inside the machine and apart of the original hardware all along.
However the irony is that while it was degraded by the non 360 fan as a software trick, it now seems as though the ps3 is the one that will either have to do a hardware revision or use a software trick to cure it's own scaling issue.
It's just that those who really have no interest in the 360 other than to degrade it at every possible chance only read what they wanted to read and now you have a thread that had been completely derailed, stemming from irrelevant comments and attacks that weren't needed.

thank you mistagamer plus rep for you for typing it ina much better way then I did

This article is far from unbiased. The very setup of the whole situation with Microsoft choosing the timing and games for comparison is bias. Why is Microsoft so hasty to compare its flagship second generation game with Playstation 3's flagship launch game? Why didn't they compare launch game vs launch game? Why don't they wait a year or two for at least one significant stride in effort to be accomplished for the Playstation 3.
Some people are deceived into thinking that every generation games look better by a certain amount which would mean Playstation 3 will *never* catch up to the Xbox360 since the developers are always a generation behind. Sorry, doesn't work like that. The hardware on both is very different, and the later the generation, the smaller the improvement. Reading speculation that says PS3 will always be behind because of the way games look like now is utter crap. I might expect that from a guy with shoddy technical background, but from Arstechnica, it screams bias.
"This hardware war may come down to the whether or not consumers think having Blu-ray is worth the extra cost, or the question of people being bothered by the lack of the hardware scaler."
This hardware war will come down to which one gets the games people want to play. There have been a handful of exclusives that Playstation has "lost", but their software backing is still very strong. Most of the Playstation 2 developers are still there and by the time they are ready to leave the PS2 behind, it will be the end of 2007, and thats when they'll be looking at the PS3 vs Xbox360. So what will things look like in a year from now when game developers are really looking at the next generation consoles.
You haven't even laid eyes on this game and such is obvious, unless you are lying through your rotten teeth(or fingers I should say). The effects of GT:HD are outstanding. The reflections are absolutely real and I have paid close attention to it. When you are in front of mountain, that is the reflection you see on the back car(assuming the camera is back there too) and it moves as it should when your car turns. The lighting is *real* as well. In the tunnel, the shadows reflect accurately on the car and go through the windshield and show up realistically on the interior of the car as well. From the tunnel, you can also see the Sun and it has an excellent bloom lighting effect that could probably be confused for being HDR. All this is done also with an incredible draw distance as well meaning you can see parts of the track that are much further ahead of where you are driving. That's very unlike another racer I played on Xbox360 semi-recently where the streets were conveniently confined with buildings on all sides capping the draw distance.
You have some balls to charge GT:HD with using fake effects. You picked the game that is most well known for following through with realism and simulation, and you picked a game on the console which is most able to simulate those effects through realistic modeling.
Unskilled eye you say? Your eye is meant to be tricked. It takes the power of the brain to detect those tricks through knowledge of what's is going on to achieve the trick. Last time I checked, you had no such knowledge.
And if you want to talk of the benefits of free upscaling, I'd like to point you to the "image stretch" feature any (reasonable) HDTV has. You can upscale your 480i signal to display at the full resolution of your TV! Isn't that neat trick? Too bad you don't actually see any more detail though

We'll see with forza, but we will never see with the upscaling in the ps3.
01-04-2007 #225BudFoxGuest
I agree it is an issue that will go away over time, without sony actually fixing it. People will get used to it, shut up about it, buy a new t.v. or deal with it.
Someone on page 5 said the ps3 is scaling images down to 480P, that's not true, it's just the next available resolution that both the game and the t.v. support. Games can be coded to support 1080i, it's just something developers would rather not do for various technical reasons...they can't just include a 1080i class and call it good with no effort.
I would prefer to see sony not fix it with a software/SPE scaling fix. It is a fairly small user base that has this issue, and that user base will only get smaller. Why take any performance away from a console for everyone, when only maybe 5%, 10%(I don't know how many...surely not more than 10%) have to play some games at a lower resolution.
They can't have some people running a software patch that takes SPE cycles, and some people not running it. So if they were to do something about it, everyone would take the hit...then they got a 90% pissed off user base.
I don't know, I say they just let it go. It was a mistake though.

Hypertension, or elevated blood pressure (BP), has been extensively researched over decades and clearly demonstrated to be caused due to a combination of host genetic and environmental factors. Although much research remains to be conducted to pin-point the precise genetic elements on the host genome that control BP, new lines of evidence are emerging to indicate that, besides the host genome, the genomes of all indigenous commensal micro-organisms, collectively referred to as the microbial metagenome or microbiome, are important, but largely understudied, determinants of BP. Unlike the rigid host genome, the microbiome or the "second genome" can be altered by diet or microbiotal transplantation in the host. This possibility is attractive from the perspective of exploiting the microbiotal composition for clinical management of inherited hypertension. Thus, focusing on the limited current literature supporting a role for the microbiome in BP regulation, this review highlights the need to further explore the role of the co-existence of host and the microbiota as an organized biological unit called the "holobiont" in the context of BP regulation.

Loaded gun found on Disney attraction
Just days after a small explosion startled guests and caused the temporary evacuation of Toontown in Disneyland, a gun was found on the seat of a ride vehicle at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park.
According to reports, a woman who was with her grandson found the gun on the Dinosaur attraction in the Florida theme park. The woman turned the gun over to a nearby cast member, and authorities were alerted.
Angelo Lista, the gun's owner, said he noticed it was missing a few minutes after exiting the ride. Lista has a concealed weapons permit. The pistol - a Cobra .380 caliber - was loaded with hollow-point bullets in the magazine.
Lista said he was unaware of Disney's no-guns policy. He was removed from the park.
The Dinosaur attraction is a fast-moving dark ride in Animal Kingdom park's Dinoland U.S.A. section. It simulates a journey through the crutaceous era, with several sharp drops, turns and unexpected accelleration points.
Guests carrying bags must pass through a brief check-point where security guards take a look through any parcels, but there are no metal detectors at park entrances.
Earlier this week, a small explosion caused a temporary evacuation of the Toontown section of Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. After an investigation, a cast member was alleged to have put dry ice into a plastic bottle and tossed it into a trash can. No one was injured and no damage was reported.

An auction earlier this month of the Gilman Property, 6,000 acres of land adjacent to the Vail ski resort that a judge once called "some of the most valuable real estate in the state, if not the world," came off as scheduled--but not as expected.
Despite the advance hoopla, only two bidders were either willing or able to pony up the more than $30 million sought for the Eagle County property, which has been haggled over in bankruptcy court for several years. And the apparent winning bidder on September 3 was Glenn Miller, a cowboy who owned the land before going bankrupt. Miller showed up with new financial backers and even though his team offered less money, he has an edge on buying back the land he lost.
Although the property has been said to have enormous profit potential, it's had more than its share of environmental and financial disasters (see "Game of the Century," March 26). Miller bought the property in 1983 for roughly $15 million. In 1984, a large part of it was declared one of the state's first Superfund sites because of hazardous mining tailings and residue. In 1996 Miller went bankrupt and was thrown off the land amid accusations that Vail Associates was meddling from the sidelines. Lawsuits revolve around the property like a swarm of insects .
At one time, even recently, so did speculators. Bankruptcy trustee Joseph Rosania testified in court on May 13 that inquiries concerning the property were flooding in from exotic money bases such as the Bahamas, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia. But they all disappeared when it came time to put down money. Miller--who regularly appeared in bankruptcy court in cowboy duds, took frequent cigarette breaks during the proceedings and generally looked as if he didn't have two nickels to rub together--won out by forming a partnership with two newcomers from Tennessee, Ezon Incorporated and Belz Investco Inc.
But maybe it wasn't such a victory after all.
One insider who has followed the bankruptcy case says the other potential bidders may have dropped out for good reason. "I think they bought a pig in a poke," the insider says of the Miller team. "I'm shocked that anyone would pay that kind of money for that parcel. Sure, it's 6,000 acres next to Vail, but 4,000 of those are too steep to build on. And the places where you could build are at close to 10,000 feet. A retired couple from back East aren't going to want a luxury home at that altitude--not unless it's pressurized."
Some people involved in the bankruptcy case also question why the new group from Tennessee would include Miller in its plans when all he's had is bad luck with the Gilman property. The Tennessee developers couldn't be reached for comment. But Rosania says that perhaps a consent decree that Miller previously obtained from the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which is still in the process of cleaning up parts of the property, might have something to do with it.
EPA enforcement attorney Nancy Mangone says the consent decree gives the agency access to the cleanup site. Such a decree is an agreement with a property owner, she says, and isn't passed along when the property is sold. "We can do a couple things in that situation," Mangone explains. "First, we can ask the new owner politely for access. If that doesn't work, we have legal avenues we can pursue...I will say that we've enjoyed our relationship with Mr. Miller. We pretty much leave each other alone."
Miller's attorney, Jim Hahn, insists he isn't surprised that Ezon and Belz asked Miller to come aboard. "I think it's fair to say that they kept Glenn for business reasons," says Hahn. "And part of those business reasons would be his good standing with the EPA. I think they also believed that Glenn was entitled to be part of the process since he spent the last sixteen years trying to maintain the integrity of the project.
"We were very lucky to find these partners," Hahn continues. "It was like finding a needle in a haystack. But it doesn't surprise me that there were only two bidders. Basically, this project has so much breadth and depth that it doesn't lend itself to the auction process. If you were a prospective buyer, you've got to look at several things. There are all these questions about the property's environmental status, and there's still some ongoing litigation about a key 1,700-acre parcel. It's a piece of property that anyone in his right mind would have a lot of questions about. I'm sure several people went to the trustee and asked for more time to look it over, but he couldn't allow that."
But the deal isn't done yet. Representatives from Ezon and Belz spent last week huddled with Miller and Hahn trying to hash out the financial arrangements, which must be completed by September 24. As part of the deal, the Miller group put down a $1.7 million non-refundable deposit and has to figure out a way to come up with an additional $32.3 million.
If the deal isn't closed by the 24th, the trustee will have four working days to find another buyer or the property will be handed over to Turkey Creek LLC, a group of lawyers that purchased option rights on the property using money provided by Vail Associates and later foreclosed on Miller. If the deal is completed by the deadline, Turkey Creek will walk away with a cool $28 million.
But the sole other bidder, Gilman Investment Company, thinks the court owes it a new auction.
Both teams submitted bids that the bankruptcy trustee originally rejected as too low. But when no other bidders came forward and Gilman Investment failed to produce any hard cash for a deposit on the deal, federal bankruptcy judge Marcia Krieger ruled in favor of the bid from Miller and his two new partners from Tennessee. "It's miraculous that Miller ran into Belz and Ezon," says Rosania. "I left the office the night before the final hearing thinking that I still had no deal."
Gilman Investment's Rich Galvin claims that his group was intentionally shafted. "I feel like I got kicked in the groin and stabbed in the back at the same time," says Galvin. "This was a stealth maneuver by the trustee. We had $36.5 million cash and were ready to move, but the trustee changed the wire-account instructions on us the day before the transaction so we couldn't get our money in.
"This is far from over, as far as we're concerned. We've filed a motion to reconsider with the court based upon the trustee shifting the account and the fact that Miller's bid was non-conforming."
Bankruptcy trustee Rosania says he doesn't believe Galvin's excuse for not coming up with the cash in time for the auction. The money would have gotten to him even if Galvin's team had sent it to the old account, he adds.
"There was a definite deadline, and you either met it or you didn't," says Rosania. "Miller's bid was non-conforming because it wasn't for the amount that I wanted, and I got a 5 percent deposit instead of a 10 percent deposit. Gilman Investment Company was offering $36.5 million, but it had zero cash to post. We tried hard to work it out, and I don't blame them for being upset."
Jim MacDonnell of the auction house Sheldon Good & Company says Gilman Investment was given every opportunity to make the deal work. "I would have been happier with their bid, because it would have meant more money for us," he says. "But in a deal this big, to be jerking around at the last moment is ridiculous. They didn't have the money. Anything else is just B.S."
That wasn't the only B.S. during the drawn-out bankruptcy hearings. One of the most amusing claims to the Gilman property came in the form of a fellow named Jeff Tucker from Miami, who insisted that he had purchased the rights to 1,700 acres on the western part of the property.
Tucker showed up in court to testify last July 7 armed with little more than a cheap suit and a smirk. He claimed he bought the Battle Mountain Corporation, which once operated a mine on the 1,700 acres, for $1,000 in 1994 from the former head of Battle Mountain, Tom Nevis. Nevis currently resides in Lompoc Federal Penitentiary near Santa Barbara, California, convicted of conspiracy and fraudulent wire transfer of funds.
Tucker had no stock certificates or deeds to prove his ownership, but he did have some land deeds that many in the courtroom speculated were not authentic. Tucker was unable to identify many of the signatures on the deeds and refused to give the court a phone number or address where he could be contacted in Miami. His claim is currently being litigated.
Although Hahn sarcastically refers to Tucker's testimony as a "red-letter day" in the complex case, he admits that potential bidders may have been scared off by Tucker's claims.
Hahn says he's confident that the remaining legal issues will sort themselves out and Miller's group will be able to close the deal by the 24th. "Our confidence level is running pretty high," says Hahn. "And because the $1.7 million deposit is non-refundable, that gives Ezon and Belz added motivation. They're savvy enough businessmen to not just sneeze at that kind of money. We're all about closing this deal."

Rosania has his fingers crossed that Miller's team can do it. Not only would the $34 million pay off Turkey Creek, but $6 million would be left to pay off everyone else. After other secured liens against the property were paid, Rosania, the Internal Revenue Service and Sheldon Good & Company would take their cuts. Finally, general unsecured creditors such as Miller's former attorney, Jim Lillie, would get some money. Anything left over would go back to Miller.
"I've spent a lot of sleepless nights trying to make this work," says Rosania. "But let's just say we've got a back-up bidder if this first deal falls through."
And if that doesn't work, Vail Associates, which has stayed out of the main part of the fray, gets the land as part of its option agreement with Turkey Creek, even though Vail has never openly inquired about or bid on the property.
When asked about that possible scenario, Vail spokesperson Paul Witt replies, "Oh, really?

Hello there, and thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Eli G., and I am available for Spanish (all high school levels and some college), English and basic Math through Algebra tutoring. I am fluent in Spanish, and have been using it almost daily for the last 8 years since moving to Wilmington. I have impressed many of my native Spanish speaking employees with my abilities, and would like to use this skill I have learned in an educational setting. I graduated high school in 1999 and went to Virginia Tech to become a high school Spanish teacher. I left school early to pursue other interests, but continued to use my Spanish in work environments almost daily since then. I have begun to re-explore my interest in teaching, and decided that tutoring would be a good opportunity for me to use my understanding of the language to help students who may be struggling to grasp concepts or just need some extra practice outside of the school setting. I am a very energetic person with an outgoing personality, very friendly and easy to get along with. I have experience working with high school aged students having supervised and trained culinary students in an internship program from a local high school here in Wilmington and received positive feedback from their in-school instructor regarding my instruction and rapport with the students. I am very patient and can adjust my strategy for relating information if I feel that the student isn't quite catching on, as everyone learns differently. While Spanish is my strongest subject, I am also suited for tutoring in English, and math subjects through algebra II level or so. I myself took math up through calculus in high school, so I would be willing to help with math above algebra II if needed.
As far as my teaching method is concerned, I like to get to know the student and relate the information in a way that I feel meets their personality and learning style. Some students are more hands on, some just need the confidence boost to get over certain hurdles. Everybody learns differently, and I don't just want to parrot what their teachers are saying to them in class, but give them a different point of view, a different angle at which to view the information. Of course I would not deviate from their classroom obligations, just offer a different perspective. I am not one to give out answers or do the student's homework for them, so please don't think that I just want to help them get their homework done without them learning how it was they did it. Anyone can rattle off answers, I want them to truly comprehend the "how" and the "why". You can't continue with new material until the previous concepts have been mastered.
My goals for the student are as follows:
-Understanding of the material outside of just filling in the blanks-concept mastery.
-Improved homework grades, test scores and self confidence in the classroom.
-Critical thinking and the ability to "think outside the box"- recalling learned concepts and applying them.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! If you feel that I may be able to help with any of the subjects listed, please don't hesitate to contact me to set up a meeting! Good luck, and I look forward to hearing from you! Hello there, and thank you for looking at my profile.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am very proficient in elementary math, having used it almost every day in my professional career to figure payroll, food costs, labor percentages, and many other applications related to the food service industry. I am familiar with the terms used as well as fractions, variables, etc. Basic math is a skill that never leaves you, and is essential for navigating everyday life.
My focus when tutoring English is mainly concentrated on spelling, grammar, correct word usage and coherent writing skills. I feel that not enough focus is put on correct spelling or good grammar anymore, and it is something to take pride in. I want the student to be comfortable with their writing or speaking endeavors, and knowing the basics is the only way to start. Developing these skills is essential for life after school based education, and I want them to stand out and be prepared when entering the job market. Too often people let these skills slip, and it can lead to them not being taken seriously because they lack the ability to use correct grammar, spelling or syntax.
I am proficient in both English and Spanish, and love to see the look on the faces of students when they begin to grasp a concept, especially when it is not in their first language. I had great teachers when I was learning Spanish who adequately prepared me for using the language on my own, and I want to use my abilities to help someone learn that second language the way they helped me. Building their confidence is of utmost importance when learning a new language, and I strive to make them comfortable speaking to native English speakers, as that can be the most intimidating part of learning and using that new language skill.
I am very knowledgeable in various subjects, and am well equipped to help you realize your goal of receiving your GED. Working together, I believe I can help you to not only learn the information, but to retain it. A high school education is incredibly important, as not having a diploma or GED can prohibit you from getting good jobs, taking higher education classes or qualifying for programs you may be interested in. I can help you get over this hurdle with teamwork. While I may not know the answer to any particular subject immediately, I can certainly help you find the answers, and make sense of them. Learning is an ongoing process, and I can assist you on your journey!
While math was admittedly never my strongest subject in school, I was able to advance though Calculus while in high school due to the help I received from my teachers and peers. My strongest areas pertaining to math are in algebra and trigonometry, with most of those concepts having been retained. My skills in algebra are still strong and can offer a different way of looking at the procedures that may suit the student that isn't quite getting it using their teachers methods. The biggest hurdle some students face while learning math is being able to relate to the material in a way that is meaningful to them. No two people learn the same way, and sometimes it just takes a different perspective for it all to click.
I have always been a strong reader and I have a high level of comprehension. I can take what's written and make it more understandable or relateable to the student. Sometimes it's looking for clues in what your reading, or rewording the statement to provide a different explanation without changing the meaning of what's being said. My focus is on comprehension, and my goal is for the student to be able to read something, whether or not they've read it before, and be able to clearly and accurately relate the information back.
I have extensive experience using Spanish in my day to day life. I learned most of the Spanish I know today while in high school, and was able to retain it because I had such wonderful teachers who set me up for success. Professionally, I have used Spanish every single day for the last eight years. It is a skill I cherish, and one that I take very seriously. It has led to job opportunities, friendships and travel experiences that may not have been available to me had I not learned to speak Spanish. The need for Spanish speakers is increasing every day in this country, and being bilingual will never hold you back. I am passionate about this subject and really enjoy helping students learn this beautiful language.

NEW Zealand conservation rangers have saved a seal tangled in a G-string near the Lovers Leap cliffs in Otago.
Authorities were called by a worried member of the public who saw the struggling seal with something caught around its neck last week.
Walking for an hour and scrambling up a 230-metre cliff, marine ranger Jim Fyfe finally caught up with the seal and was surprised to find it tangled in the underwear.
"We got it early enough," he told the Otago Daily Times.
"Quite possibly, given that it was fabric, it would have rotted off, but you can never tell."
The local man who initially spotted the seal, David Johnston, advised people discarding an item that "if it forms a loop, cut it".
