• Over the past 15 years, we have evaluated 107 hypertensive children. A renal origin of hypertension was identified in 30 patients, and 25 have undergone operative management. In the group undergoing operation, ages ranged from 2 months to 19 years. Twelve patients were male and 13 were female. Anatomic lesions included fibromuscular dysplasia (16 patients), renal artery trauma (two patients), renal artery involvement by aortic coarctation (two patients), chronic pyelonephritis (two patients), renal hypoplasia (two patients) and contralateral renal artery stenosis after irradiation for Wilms' tumor (one patient). The rapid sequence intravenous pyelogram was abnormal in only 52%. Renal revascularization was attempted in 17 patients. Nine patients had nephrectomy and three children had segmental resections. Bilateral procedures have been performed in four children. Follow-up observations from 4 months to 13 years (mean, four years) are available. Seventeen children (68%) were cured, six (24%) improved, and two (8%) had no change in blood pressure. Both children not improved and four of the six children showing only improvement had recurrent or residual renal artery disease limiting the result. Bilateral disease has occurred in seven of the 16 children (44%) with fibromuscular dysplasia. These results support an aggressive approach to the diagnosis and management of hypertension in childhood. The bilateral nature of fibromuscular dysplasia in these children stresses the long-term superiority of revascularization over nephrectomy in their management.

We're your spark.
As Catalyst co-founders and principals, Betsy Brown and Jean Hendrickson are industry leaders known for their transparency, integrity, and creative, out-of-the-box thinking and service delivery. In concert with your clinical team, Catalyst's team of clinical resourcing and operational gurus drives your clinical trial forward. Whether you need feet on the street or support in-house, we work with you to develop targeted, innovative and budget friendly solutions that address your unique business needs.
People like our outlook.
Some call it refreshing. We call it customer-centric. That's because we base every recommendation or decision on what is in your best interest, and no one else's. This philosophy lends itself to a highly collaborative, transparent and supportive working partnership. It's a far cry from the unfortunate trend toward an isolated Sponsor-Vendor relationship.
No cookie-cutter approach here. No way.
We understand that every clinical program has a unique time and place that is often very different from the one it preceded or the one that may follow. When first deciding how to operationalize a study, you consider many variables: Are company resources available to allocate to the project? Is there the required expertise? Where will your sites be located? Do you have appropriate funding for outsourcing? What level of control are you willing to cede for this program? We know each situation calls for a tailored outsourcing solution.
One size does not fit all. Period.
First, we listen. Then we ask questions. Together, we customize a solution for your clinical program. Whether you require a single CRA or a team of remote data reviewers, Catalyst comes through with an integrated, flexible solution. And should the scope of work require a full-service, global solution, we would be glad to recommend a few choice CROs we've worked with, who can meet your requirements.
It's easy to work with us.
Who wants to work with difficult people anyway? Your job is hard enough as it is. We're easy to work with because we're flexible, supportive, resourceful, and completely open. At Catalyst we don't have any hard-and-fast, take-it-or-leave-it rules. With us, you won't need to negotiate through layers and layers of management to get an answer or solve a problem quickly. One call is all it takes.
Fun people doing serious work.
If you think about it, we're in a daunting business, striving to provide a better quality of life for people all over the globe by developing novel and innovative products. While we work each and every day to help move those products to market, Catalyst believes you should enjoy your work while doing. So, humor is a value-add with us. And that philosophy is filtered throughout our company. You'll see the difference in our team members, in our discussions with you, in our correspondence, and in our marketing materials.

South Bay road cost: What the heck?
Letters to the editor for Aug. 4, 2013: Toll road cost; human character; homeless; dangerous dogs; Film Commission; Dems vs. Repubs; GOP health plan; checkpoints
Outlandish expense of South Bay road
It's a small wonder that we build any new roads. In the Aug. 2 article "Wisdom of SANDAG's toll-road purchase debated" there was a bit of information that took me aback.
It stated that a public-and-private consortium spent $800 million to build a 10-mile stretch of road, called the South Bay Expressway. That is $80 million per mile. This cost reflects the effect of endless regulations, prevailing wage costs on state projects and greedy suppliers of equipment and materials. This works out to a astronomical figure of $15,385 per foot of pavement. A little over 30 years ago that amount of money would have built about 800 miles of road.
Tom Dineley
Judge people by character not color
My first thought on reading Fredi Avalos' Aug. 2 op-ed on "Stereotypes are still harming our youth, community" was, well, it's stereotypical. Who made the prediction on electing a mixed-race president would move the nation to a "post-racist" world? Any reasonably well-educated person will realize that racism, unfortunately, is part of the world. As deplorable as that is, it's one of many dark paths human nature can take.
That racism in democratic countries is declining as we move forward should be all of our hopes. Focusing on black and brown bodies, like focusing on white bodies will never go away for some individuals. Dr. King had a few words to say about that.
Latinos not identifying with Trayvon is a bad thing? Zimmerman and Trayvon both made poor choices. That should be the point of this discussion. It's time for the position of Dr. King of judging people by their character rather than the color of their skin. A good place to reinforce this is in our college classes. Hopefully this is the focus of Dr. Avalos' classes at Cal State San Marcos.

Homeless heading back to more dangers
In the Aug. 1 article "Homeless must leave church," Oceanside code enforcement manager David Manley was quoted as saying, "We just can't have people living in dangerous conditions." Suzanne Faulhaber going back to living in her car, without her child, is not dangerous? Others going back to living in cardboard boxes is not dangerous?
Instead of telling them to leave, how about finding them, and all of the homeless living in Oceanside, transitional housing? Living on the street is living in dangerous conditions.

Punish owners of dangerous dogs
Dogs have their place in society — none of which is snarling at or attacking postal carriers ("Mail carrier recounts 'horrific' attack by pit bull," Aug. 2).
Postal carriers should have autonomous authority to discontinue mail delivery to any household with an animal they deem to be overly aggressive and/or dangerous. Severe penalties (civil and criminal) should be pursued against any occupant or owner with an overly aggressive animal or one that attacks another being.

Laments loss of Film Commission
How sad that San Diego will no longer have access to showcasing itself to film studios all because of the lack, of what at first blush, seems to be a minor amount of funding (Film agency: 'The end,'" Aug. 1).
By showcasing San Diego, we can perhaps change the view that so many now hold that we are a city held hostage by the actions of one person, who amusingly blames the city for his troubles.
Therein lies a movie I just might pay to see.

Another take on Dems and Repubs
I think Zack Dyl is on to something in his letter (July 17) in which he contrasts Democrats and Republicans but I see things a little bit differently:

Here we are, inside one of SXSW's most buzzed about events ever, Jay-Z's
first-ever solo performance at Austin City Limits Moody Theater for the "Amex Sync Show Presenting Jay-Z."
Unsurprisingly, this theater is packed. Lines are stretched outside the doors, around city blocks, into the next county almost. The crowd is diverse, to say the least. But very energetic. Here we go!
It's. About. To. Go. Down.
8:37 PM: Here we go! Lights go down, everyone on their phones. Flashes galore.
8:40: "SXSW, you're welcome!" Quote of the night.
8:51: Re-start!! Jay stopped and re-started because he didn't want the background track behind him?
"I don f— around with the words to my sings, yall came to see a live show right?"
8:51: The crowd effing loved that, if it wasn't obvious. His start/re-start thing.
8:57: 99 Problems was backed by black and white video footage from his original clip (I think) via video screens on the stage made to look like regular blocking.
First time they were activated on that one. They're off now.
9:00: So maybe this crowd is full of more serious fans than I thought?
Lots of singing/rapping from the crowd and not just on the choruses!
9:07: Playin the crowd like a fiddle, he is. They are eating it up here. In case it's not obvious.
9:17: Totally just saw him smile. He is enjoying this! Not just a corp. gig now. ; Diamonds in the sky on this one!
9:36: People have been dancing their asses off and jumping so much that the temp in this place is suddenly a crazy hot box.
Relaxed, mellow vibe in here right now … Maybe Jay's tryin to cool us all down!
9:46: I guess there are some Nova Scotia-ins in the audience after all?
Audience loving the starts and stops … Keeping the energy up during pauses. They kept singing the chorus on that last one before he re-started.
9:53: Y'all going to make me crawl away from here tonight … Even though he seems to be losing his voice? Still killing it!! Making us all work. Too friggin amazing.

This week I read contemporary romance Phantom Waltz, book #2 in the Kendrick/Coulter series by Catherine Anderson. This was a recommendation from Laura as she loves this book to bits. Sadly, I didn't feel the same, in fact I didn't really like it that much at all – it just wasn't for me. My review will be coming soon.
I'm still reading Stars & Stripes by Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #6) and Archangel's Storm by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #5) – I'm half way through both of them so hopefully I will have at least one finished by middle of next week. I think I will then start Chasing Magic by Stacia Kane the latest instalment in the Downside Ghosts series. I love Chess and Terrible, but I wasn't all that impressed with Chess in the last book, I'm hoping she's sorted herself out a bit. I will admit though, I can't wait to see Terrible again…
Well, I'm still reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I'm about halfway through Lover Reborn at the moment and it's definitely a better book than Lover Unleashed. Helped by the fact there are lots of John Matthew scenes in it. I've also received very exciting news that an early copy of Lover At Last is on its way to me – yippee!
I'm also still listening to Bed of Roses book two in Nora Roberts' Bride Quartet for my audiobook. But, I did have a rather lovely audiobook buying splurge last weekend though and bought Savour the Moment and Happy Ever After books three and four in Roberts' Bride Quartet, Queen of Song and Souls and Crown of Crystal Flame books four and five in C.L. Wilson's Tairen Soul series and finally after a recommendation from Jo from Vampire Book Club who also listens to audiobooks, I got The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole. So I think that's enough to keep me busy
I've been a naughty girl this week, I've not managed to finish Fragments by Dan Wells or start any other book. Please do not think that Fragments is holding me back as the only reason I've stopped is because I was writing the review for Partials and I wanted to avoid confusion. With my February reviews completed, I will be cracking on with Fragments.
As I have not read any books this week, I have taken my reading addiction out on my purse and purchased The Pledge by Kimberley Derting and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. I have downloaded a Kindle freebie The Hunted by Kristy Berridge and received Infinite Days by Rebecca Maziel (see Rebecca's great review) and The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa. 😀
Next week to save my purse I hope to get through a few books, Pure by Julianna Baggott, Pretty When she Kills by Rhiannon Frater and if I'm a good girl and get through those, I will pick up The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead. I'm also interested in trying to get to Waterstones, Piccadilly on Tuesday to meet Stephanie Meyer, I hope I can make it.
So, had a marginally more productive reading week than last. I finished reading The Last Bastion of the Living by Rhiannon Frater. I enjoyed it. I thought it had some interesting parts but was a bit perplexed by the ending. Not for what happened but for the choices made by one of the main characters. I needed another quick read and found The Prince of Cats by Susan Bliler. I am not sure what made me download this book. I know it was free but it was highly predictable and not that enjoyable. I also downloaded The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones which I just started to read so can't really decided what I think of it yet. I was about to get behind my reading/reviewing schedule so picked up Creative Fire by Brenda Cooper which has a fantastic cover, but you will have to keep your eye out for whether I thought the inside was as good as outside! Just this morning I started another one of my review books, Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia. This has started out to be quite an amusing read and despite the hefty 800 pages, I am sure looking forward to finding out what it is all about. That's it for me, happy reading!
This week was a very slow reading week for me. I only finished two books; Wilde Ride by Maegan Lynn Moores, and Until the Sun Falls from the Sky by Kristen Ashley, neither of which I enjoyed very much. I've been finding some really good self-published books lately, but I think I may have to have a break from them to read some of the books that I already have. I am also part way through all of my review books; A Patch of Darkness by Yolanda Sfetsos, Divinely Ruined by Diane Alberts and The Dead of Winter by Lee Collins. All of them are interesting in different ways, and I'm looking forward to reviewing them for next month.
Next week, I'm going to finish my review books and start on the reviews. I preordered Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs early last year, and it has finally been released and dispatched, so I will undoubtedly be reading that too.
I bought books (again!) this week. Most of them were for my Kindle, which is good as it's getting hard to move in my bedroom now. I got Hector by Elizabeth Reyes, Ceaseless by Abbi Glines, Raid by Kristen Ashley, and Wait for You by J. Lynn. Technically, I bought Frost Burned as the money will have been taken this week, but we don't need to get into technicalities, do we? I also preordered two Kresley Cole books – Endless Knight (which is the second in her YA series) and the as-yet-untitled second book in the Dacian series. I have a bit of Kresley Cole addiction so I'm happy to know that these books will be out this year.
That's all from me, I think. Hope everyone had a good week.
First of all, I have two apologies to make. One, for the lack of Friday Film Review last week. Real life got in the way of things and time slipped away and before I knew it, Friday was already upon me. Second, for my absence of weekly roundup. Again, this was tied up with real life, where I was busy with work. I have been justly punished by being stuck in a room with Justin Bieber and One Direction songs on a continuous loop for three full nights. (Apologies to Bieber or One Direction fans, but this is punishment for me).
Anyway, on to my update. Last week I managed to finish two books in very different genres. One was the second book in the Play by Play series called Changing the Game, by Jaci Burton. I'll admit, it took me a little while to warm to the heroine, but by the end of the book I was sold. My review is currently WIP. The other book I managed to finish was Bittersweet Blood by Nina Croft, the first book in her new series, The Order and our Book of the Month! If you are a long time follower you will know I love this authors other sci-fi/paranormal romance series consisting of Break-Out and Deadly Pursuit. Bittersweet Blood is a bit of a departure from the previous series, but it is just as good. Again my review is WIP.
I'm currently reading Angel's Ink by Jocelynn Drake and by the time you read this I should be at least half way through. I loved the little shorts I have read that are set in this universe and this is just as good. After this, I am hoping to read either Dead Mans Deal, the second book in the series or The Lost by Vicki Pettersson. I'll see how the mood takes me.
As I said two weeks ago, I did manage to go see Beautiful Creatures at the cinema. Overall, I thought it was ok, but it was VERY loosely based on the book. Becs and I are planning to review this together. I also managed to see A Good Day To Die Hard, which was ok. Read my full review here.
This week I hope to go see Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (Hello there, the future Mr Gemma Harding; Jeremy Renner) and also Mama (And hello to you too, the future Mr Gemma Harding #2, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau AKA Jamie Lannister from Game of Thrones).
Finally, though I haven't bought any books this last fortnight, the pull of the Amazon freebie has been too much due to me taking over duties on updating the freebie pages on the blog. In the short time I have been covering this, I have 26 books….. (This is all Carolyn's fault!!! Only Joking )
So I hope that this roundup has more than made up for the failings from last week. And remember people in the UK, Mother's Day is Sunday 10th March, so go get your mother a book.

Hugo Chavez' hand-picked successor, Nicolas Maduro, was elected by a margin of 50.8 percent to 49 percent over challenger Henrique Capriles in Venezuela on Sunday. Capriles has since demanded a recount and called on Venezuelans to take to the streets and peacefully demand a vote recount. On Tuesday reports of deaths surfaced increasing the tension in the already tumultuous country. Venezuela's President-elect Nicolas Maduro is blaming challenger Henrique Capriles for seven deaths that the government says occurred in the post-election unrest.

March 17-23 marks the 51st anniversary of National Poison Prevention Week, first established by Congress in September 1961. Cedar County Memorial Hospital, as a key provider of healthcare in Cedar and surrounding counties, would like to take this opportunity to remind the public about safe medication use and disposal. Among young children, 95 percent of medication-related poisoning visits to emergency departments are caused by a child ingesting medication while unsupervised and approximately five percent are due to dosing errors made by caregivers.
Medications are the leading cause of child poisoning today. Each year, more than 500,000 children under the age of five experience a potential poisoning related to medications. More than 60,000 children are treated in emergency departments due to accidental unsupervised ingestions each year. Currently, more children are brought to emergency departments for medications poisonings than for motor vehicle occupant injuries. Among young children, one of every 150 two-year-olds is being seen in the emergency department for medication-related poisoning. From 1979 to 2006, the poisoning death rate was cut in half, declining from 0.35 to 0.17 per 100,000 children. Yet, among all child poisoning deaths, the number attributable to medication increased from 36 percent to 64 percent.
Reasons for this increase in medication-poisoning are numerous:
• More medications than ever are in the home, especially prescription pain medication
• The fast paced lifestyles of today may prevent caregivers from immediately putting medicines away in a high, out of sight and locked location after every use
• A rise in multi-generational households in which children may have greater access to grandparents' medications
• Working and single parents relying on multiple caregivers, who may not coordinate closely on the timing of children's dosages
• Formulation of children's medication that are designed to taste good but may entice children to take them when unsupervised.
Please remember these tips for Medication Safety:
1. Keep all prescription and over-the-counter medicines locked up, where children cannot see or reach them.
2. Store medications in their original containers and use child-resistant lids. Weekly/daily pill planners may be convenient but they are not child-resistant and it may not be possible to identify the medications, dose or directions for use if the original container is not readily available. Remember – nothing is child-proof!
3. Avoid expired medications. Discard any old, expired or unused medications in accordance with local or state recommendations. Check the expiration date before you buy or use a medication. Expired medication may be less effective and some may undergo chemical changes that may make them dangerous.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day from10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27. This is a great opportunity to safely dispose of accumulated unwanted or unused prescription drugs. Please contact your local law enforcement agency for locations.
4. Read the label and follow the directions on all medicines. Remember to turn on the lights. If you are taking or giving medication in the early hours of the morning, make sure you can see… and think clearly.
5. Are children around? Take the product or medicine with you to answer the door or the phone.
6. Is it medicine? Call it medicine…not candy. Take your medicines where children can't watch because they learn by imitation.
7. Measure with care. Always use a calibrated medicine spoon, dropper or dosing cup to measure the correct dose. Do NOT use kitchen spoons which can vary in sizes and may lead to an under dosage or over dosage. Underdosing may render the medication ineffective while overdosing may result in toxicity and unwanted side effects.
8. Do not share prescription medication. What is safe and effective for your 5 year old may not be for your 2 year old. Also, your husband's blood pressure medication may not be recommended and may actually be dangerous for your brother who is visiting and forgot his medication.
9. Program the nationwide poison control center number (1-800/222-1222) into your phones. If poisoning is suspected, calling this number will reach professionals that offer fast and free confidential help in English and Spanish. Most poisonings are resolved over the phone. The number works from anywhere in the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please contact Cedar County Memorial Hospital at 417/876-2511 with any questions about poisonings or medication safety as they observe National Poison Prevention Week.

Simon Cowell Won't Be Watching His Baby's Birth
September 25, 2013 07:34 AM by Lisa Princ
The world was shocked when we learned that Simon Cowell was expecting a baby after sleeping with his close friend's wife. And while the outspoken The X Factor guru may be looking forward to fatherhood, one thing that did not shock us is that he won't be watching the birth of his child!
Simon Cowell shocked fans when it was revealed that he was going to be a dad, after years of claiming that he would not make a good father. But recently, Cowell had a change of heart, insisting that he is looking forward to being a dad, however, that does not mean he is looking forward to seeing the baby's birth. In fact, he refuses to watch the miraculous event!
Cowell recently spoke on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, and when he was asked about watching the birth of his child, he laughed: "Are you out of your mind?" Simon then explained: "I know this sounds awful, but it's like you don't want to go in to the restaurant while they're making your dinner. I think there are certain things you shouldn't see and that is one of them. I'll be very close by, but no, I won't watch." Sorry Simon, but we think there are many dads out there who will disagree with you on this one.
Meanwhile, Cowell was also grilled about whether or not he will marry Lauren Silverman, the woman who is carrying his baby. He didn't say yes or no, but he did say that he does not expect Lauren: "to be a single mother." Could that mean that there be wedding bells ringing for Cowell in the future?
What do you think of Cowell's thoughts on not watching his baby's birth? Do you think he will make a good father? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you! Comment below to share your thoughts with us.

I'm running a 44/38 with a 12-27 cassette. too short? too tall? just right? it seems fine...so far...
just curious what you guys think a good, versatile cx bike generally run...
I'm running a 44/38 with a 12-27 cassette. too short? too tall? just right? it seems fine...so far...
just curious what you guys think a good, versatile cx bike generally run...
I've a 46/38 and 12-25 or 12-27, depending on wheels/course. I suspect the 46 is too much gear for me, but I'll have to wait until next season to put a 44 on.
There are only 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't.
I'm running a 48-39 because they're cheap, readily available when I was looking and the 48 is only there for road work with a tailwind.
I have a 48-39 with a 11-30. I never use the big ring.
48/38 with an 11-28
compact double here. 34-50 with a 12-25.
44 with a 12-28. Haven't had any muddy races yet this year, I don't think I've even gone into the bottom 3 gears.

I've noticed a lot of CX bikes come stock with compact 50/34.
Does anyone even race with this setup? Are they just marketing to the all-rounder/commuter?
I have a 50/34 laying around and I was thinking of swapping my 50 to 44 for my dedicated race bike I'm building. Do you think I should go 46 instead? Is there a big difference?
single for me. 42T 12-27
I suppose a 39 would work just as well. I had the 42T spot sitting at home.

Single 44 with 11-32
It does everything from fast roadie training rides to C/X races.
48/36 with a 12-27
i only use the 48 on a hard packed flattish course
it came with the crank so it stays for now =]
I run 46/36 with a 13-26. I generally dont use the 46. I've noticed this year racing that I could probably go single ring and run a 42.
I was in the same boat. do it, you will never go back to that double ring set up.
Now I just wish I could justify it on my road bike!
I can't imagine needing a biger gear than 42 x 12 for our local courses, but in muddy conditions sometime syou can park the chain in the upper part of the cassette and just shift the fornt more reliably than the rear. Your gearing sounds pretty good.
Those of you with single chainrings, what cassettes are you using? I'm going to lose the front shifting and am looking at the IRD 12-30 with a 39 up front. How does it shift compared to Shimano stuff? I'm running a 12-25 right now and never need big ring and only occassionally wish for an easier gear. Are there any other manufacturers of 10 spd shimano compatible cassettes?
40t single with 11-28 9s cassette.
1x9 on my geared mtb as well (34t with 11-34 9s cassette). I'm a strong advocate of the 1x9 setup. It's simpler, lighter weight, and with smart gear selections, can cover just about anything.
i don't race, but: 48/38 with 12-25. i only use the 48 riding to and from trailheads.
Wow - I'm very unique. I don't race - just ride my cross bike on gravel roads, simple trails, nothing too technical. Anyway, I have triple front 48/36/26, and a 12-27 cassette in the back. I'm not that fit, almost middle aged, and found the 26/27 very useful two days ago as I rode up a gravel hill...
2016 Kona Roadhouse, 2015 Niner Jet9 RDO, 2008 Cervelo RS
I love bikes!
I had a 46/36 with a 12/25 in back.
I put a 34 on instead of the 36 for more range (mostly for my wife, she races on my bike too)
When cross season is over I'll probably put a 50 on the front for road riding.
wow... i see a lo of low gearing.. so a 53/44 front and a 12-25 in the back would work? or no?

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. L'appartement est très bien situé et très bien agencé. Riccardo est charmant et très disponible. Si nous retournons a Rome nous réserverons au même endroit.
Encore merci à Riccardo.
My wife, our two children and I really enjoyed our stay at Lucia's home. After booking the flat, we already had a very friendly e-mail contact with our host Riccardo. When we arrived at Rome, we were recepted in an usually affectionated way. Riccardo not even provided us with maps, very helpful pieces of information and advice, but also with beer, red wine and cheese for us adults and sweets, cola and tea for the children. He offered us a typical Italian Easter cake, that especially our son appreciated very much. During the following week at Rome we kept in touch and benefitted from his insider knowledge of Rome. The flat itself is clean, tidy and quiet. In the kitchen is a fridge, a cooker and you have cookware and dishes, so that it's possible to cook a meal. The two double beds were comfortable and already covered. You can wash dirty clothes in a washing machine. Riccardo provided us with plenty of towels so that we didn't need to get them changed, but this also would have been possible. The children were happy about the w-lan, we could use. Really great is the location of the flat. We bought bus tickets in advance, but needed them only once. You can easily walk to the colosseo and most of the other important sights are also in walking distance. Two very interesting churches are even situated Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano. We will visit Rome once again and we hope, Riccardo's flat will be free by then!
very nice house, clean and cozy. Riccardo is a great host! we arrived late at night and the house was fully equipped, plus some nice details Riccardo left us, he always answers very quickly all messeges.
la casa esta muy bien ubicada, realmente cerca del coliseo, y varios medios de transportes cerca que te llevan a todos lados....hay que estar preparados para caminar! nosotros viajamos dos adultos y un bebé, la casa nos resultó perfecta! El ascensor es pequeño pero creo que todos son así! Sumamente recomendable!!! Espero que volvamos pronto.
We spent three wonderful days at Lucia's home in Rome, Riccardo is very kind, and the place is perfect, clean, spacious and well iluminated. I recomend it at all. Thank you Riccardo
Die Unterkunft war ein Glückstreffer. Sehr ruhig, komfortabel, sauber. Schlafkomfort überdurchschnittlich. Ausgesprochen angenehme Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber Riccardo. Begrüßung mit einem gedeckten Tisch. Viele wertvolle Tipps für Sightseeing und Restaurantbesuche, umfangreiche Routenbeschreibungen und Kartenmaterial erhalten. Rundum empfehlenswert. Dank an Riccardo.
Lucia's home is a very cosy, clean and nicely decorated place. We immediately felt at home. The location is central, little shops and public transport are nearby. Riccardo is a great host who provided us with lots of helpful information. After long days on our feet through wonderful Rome, Lucia's home was the perfect place to relax. Thanks for that!
Un appartamento molto confortevole in una posizione strategica e con un'accoglienza eccellente. Tutte le aspettative sono state confermate. Non si potrebbe chiedere niente di più. Assolutamente consigliabile!!! Grazie Riccardo!!
Riccardo, Alessandro. Thank you for being our very nice and attentive host. Your attention to details and amenities was so thoughtful and greatly appreciated. Your place is pleasant and spacious with our family of 4. We ran into a friend in Rome who was staying in a hotel that was a bit further east of Termini. They were less than impressed with their own accommodations. I just thought at that time how lucky we were to find your place which we enjoyed. It was perfectly located. A short walk and you are at the Coliseum. It is convenient with local transportation. Thank You Again Riccardo! Alessandro it was nice to meet you! Happy New Year!
Nice and well equipped apartment. It's better than in the photos. Great location, near to Coliseum and the metro station. Riccardo is an excelent host, he prepared for us information about the city and something to eat and to drink, so I recommend it everybody.
Great location, nice and well equipped appartment. We had an excellent stay and Riccardo is an excellent host.
Thanks a lot for everything. We will come back surely :-).
Grazie mille !

TUPELO – The band wasn't actually there, but the Beatles drew an enthusiastic audience of nearly 1,300 to the BancorpSouth Arena on Thursday.
"There's no escape from the Beatles," said 24-year-old Jenna Britt of Tupelo. "I've heard them all my life. Everybody knows the Beatles."
"It's timeless, timeless music," added Dylan Britt, 23. "They're still one of the greatest bands of all time."
During "Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles," it wasn't John, Paul, George and Ringo on stage, but the music connected with young and old fans.
Video screens on either side of the stage showed black and white footage of the original Beatles, as well as shots of the "Rain" performers and fans in the stands.
People sang along with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," bobbed their heads to "Sending All My Love" and returned "Paul's" scream in the middle of "I Saw Her Standing There."
Gwen Lescheck, who said she was "past the half-century mark," came to the show with her family from Selmer, Tenn.
"I don't even remember when I became a fan," she said. "It's been so long ago."
It was easier for her to pinpoint when her 13-year-old son, Willie, got hooked on the Fab Four.
"We started him out on the Wii 'Beatles: Rockband,'" she said, referring to the video game.
The Holliday family from Corinth also made the "Rockband" connection, so much so that 9-year-old Seth Holliday was singing Beatles' songs during the drive to Tupelo.
"He was singing 'Hello, Goodbye' when we got out of the car," said Seth's dad, Louis Holliday, 43.
"And 'Let It Be,'" Seth said.
His mom, Shannon Holliday, 39, asked, "Who do you look like?"
"Paul," he said, then added, "Beatles Forever!"
At 5 years old, Madison Case of Aberdeen wasn't quite sure about the Beatles, but she knew she was out for a special time with her grandmother, Sherry Case.
"It's just us tonight," Sherry Case, 63, said. "Girls' night out, right?"

10x10 @ Sheffield Doc/Fest
- Posted: 12th Apr 2012
- Category: Opportunities
- Tags: 10x10,  sheffield docfest,  doculink,  independent,  workshop
This year, 10x10 gets a Sheffield Twist: We're focussing on the all-important trailer!
Friday 15th June, 3.45pm, Channing Hall
Trailer, taster, teaser… whatever you call it, join the conversation as three filmmakers present their work-in-progress for feedback from you, the audience. And remember, the conversation continues in the pub, thanks to Audio Network...
10x10 is a free project development workshop - filmmakers screen up to 10 minutes of their non-fiction works-in-progress and receive 10 minutes of directed feedback from the group.
We're returning to Sheffield Doc/Fest for the 5th year running, and to celebrate we're giving the event a new twist: all projects screened must be some form of trailer, whether it's a short taster tape for a TV commissioner, or a crowd-funding trailer.
A past participant put it in a nutshell:
"10x10 peddles purely in feedback – good, bad, but hopefully always constructive. A unique opportunity, it provides that other crucial element – alongside money – that abounds in studio or broadcast infrastructures, but is in distinctly short supply at the independent level: the opportunity of a second, third and fourth opinion; the thoughts of an unbiased audience."
Run as a partnership between DFG and Doculink, 10x10 is a great opportunity to feel part of an independent doc community - to get support from other filmmakers, share experience and, crucially, a rare chance to gain a hands-on perspective of what works, what doesn't and why.
10x10 is sponsored by the lovely people at Audio Network, who provide documentary filmmakers with over 50,000 music tracks that are cleared for multi-platform, worldwide - forever.

Jack White recently spoke with Rolling Stone about his appreciation for Kanye West.
White says West reached out to him for a Yeezus collaboration that was never realized. White says he was saddened by this and appreciative of the emcee's Yeezus tour.
"That might have been the greatest show I've seen in my life," he says. "It was more punk, more in-your-face than anything I've seen."
Beyond discussing the unrealized Yeezus collaboration, White also said he submitted cuts to Jay Z.
"I'm not sure he liked them," White says.
Jack White has worked with emcees before, including Black Milk.
Jack White's Rolling Stone interview is part of an issue that features the former White Stripes frontman on its cover.

I don't think Israel is bluffing about Iran, and assume that most Rosner readers already know this (having read my analytical approach to deciding if you support an attack), but would still urge you to read David Rothkopf's Guns of August:
It is easy to be skeptical when the alarms start going off about a pending Israeli attack on Iran. They seem to come with the seasons, a geopolitical biorhythm that reminds us never to be too comfortable with one of the world's most volatile relationships. But it is worth remembering that the punch line of the story about the little boy who cried wolf is that ultimately, the wolf shows up.
By way of ending this week without leaving any unfinished business behind, I'd also like to direct you to two other articles about Iran – the ones that I wrote this week both for the International Herald Tribune and for Israel's Maariv (in Hebrew).
This one is from the IHT-NYT:
All Israelis have to rely on is the chattering figureheads who are preaching for causes rather than making serious cases. For quite some time now, we've been the victims of a kind of Attack-Iran beauty contest: Do you believe the bass-voiced politician who compares Iran to Nazi Germany, or the popular novelist who opposes that "megalomaniacal" politician, or the handsome former military chief of staff who is warning against the "rush" to act, or the less handsome former military chief of staff and current defense minister who — along with Prime Minister Netanyahu — is the driving force behind the current frenzy?
Can any of these people be trusted?
And this paragraph is translated from my article in Maariv:
That Israel can "delay" but not "destroy" the Iranian nuclear program is indisputable, both in Washington and in Jerusalem. An American action too – with its far greater potential for destruction – is nothing but a formula for "delay", until the Iranians try again - and again encounter force, or until they come to their senses and give up on further development, or until the regime is overthrown. So Israel's current move is designed to bring in American involvement to realize the long campaign required to stop Iran developing its nuclear program. And debate between supporters and opponents of a violent Israeli move - namely, an attack - is nothing but a tactical argument over the best way to make the Americans more committed to winning this war.

The latest on lung cancer
BY Lucy Ballinger body+soul
Lung cancer is taking more lives than breast cancer. So what can we do?
If you were asked which cancer killed the most Australian women every year, you could be forgiven for guessing it was breast cancer. After all, 12,567 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, which accounted for 27 per cent of all female cancers.
But since 2006, lung cancer has killed more Australian women annually than any other cancer, according to figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Even more terrifying, up to 30 per cent of these women have never smoked a cigarette.
Although 3755 women were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2007 – less than a quarter of the number diagnosed with breast cancer – 2911 women died of lung cancer that year, while 2680 women succumbed to breast cancer.
This is because while medical advances have improved the chances of detecting and surviving breast cancer, lung cancer has lagged behind.
An amazing 87 per cent of women are now still alive five years after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but just 14 per cent of female lung cancer sufferers are expected to live five years beyond their diagnosis.
Even for those who have lung cancer that is confined to the lungs, the average survival is just 18 to 24 months.
Delayed diagnosis
The high mortality rate for lung cancer sufferers is largely because it isn't diagnosed early enough.
It has vague symptoms, such as a persistent cough and shortness of breath as well as coughing up blood.
There is no national screening scheme and people often ignore the warning signs because of the stigma surrounding the disease, so it's often not detected until it's well advanced.
Dr Helen Zorbas, CEO of government agency Cancer Australia, says: "We are very concerned at evidence that there is a stigma around lung cancer, particularly if you have been a tobacco smoker. There is a pervasive thought that you brought it on yourself. It means there may be a reluctance on the part of people who have symptoms to go to their doctor and have it investigated."
There are several different types of lung cancer, which are classified according to the type of cell affected and where it is located, but it's effectively a malignant tumour in the tissue of one or both of the lungs.
Not just smokers
One in 10 of Australia's three million-plus smokers will eventually develop lung cancer, but although there is a strong link between lung cancer and smoking, about 30 per cent of the cases in women are not attributed to the habit.
Professor Ian Olver, chief executive officer of Cancer Council Australia, says: "With lung cancer, there is a perception that it is your own fault because of smoking. That's unfair because smoking is an addiction.
"But it's particularly not fair to this sub-group of women whose lung cancer has nothing to do with smoking. There is not a lot known about why these women develop lung cancer, but recent research has discovered it could be a particular genetic mutation.
"We don't know why it happens: it could be to do with exposure to asbestos, carbon or nickel."
Calls for action
The Australian Lung Foundation is calling for a screening scheme to be developed for lung cancer. The organisation points to the advances in detecting and treating breast cancer. Women who are screened for breast cancer reduce their risk of dying from it by a third.
Jo Mason, spokeswoman at the Australian Lung Foundation, says: "Lung cancer research is underfunded. The high mortality rate is primarily due to the fact that it is not being diagnosed early enough.
"The Australian Lung Foundation is urging the Federal Government to make access to screening for lung cancer on par with that of other cancers, such as breast and prostate, in an effort to reduce the death toll."
Lung cancer is currently treated with chemotherapy, surgery or radiotherapy, or a combination of these, but even if treatment is successful, the cancer often returns.
"Even if a lung cancer is small enough to be operated on, within five years most patients have relapsed," Mason says.
Cancer Council Australia has called for the plain packaging of cigarettes to encourage people to stop smoking.
Professor Olver says: "The big thing is an all-out attack on reducing smoking rates. That will have the most impact. In breast cancer, there has been an effective program and success breeds success. But there hasn't been the same effort put into lung cancer; there haven't been the same kind of breakthroughs yet."
Read our fact sheets on Lung cancer and Lung cancer (in non-smokers).
What you need to know NOW
Lung cancer deaths in women have risen everywhere in Europe except the UK.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today completes 10 years in office, reports the Straits Times. So what was being reported in the press when he became prime minister on August 12, 2004? I couldn't penetrate the walls guarding the archives of the Straits Times — but came across a story which said he not seek a correction when the newspaper published a report suggesting his father was a better marksman than him.
I found the story in the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER) of all places – the magazine that had its share of troubles with Singapore's leaders before finally closing down in 2009 after 63 years of publication.
The magazine reported the Straits Times offered to print a correction after its reporter was "bawled out" by an "officer" for reporting that Lee Hsien Loong missed the target every time on a visit to a firing range unlike his father, who was bang on target.
But, the magazine added, Lee Hsien Loong told the reporter there was no need for a correction.
The reporter who wrote the story was Peter Lim, who later became editor-in-chief of the Straits Times Group, now called Singapore Press Holdings.
Here's the story which appeared in FEER when Lee Hsien Loong became prime minister in August 2004:
Peter Lim recognized a good story. It was the late 1980s, and Lim, then editor-in-chief of Singapore's Straits Times Group, was accompanying Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to Brunei when he witnessed an episode that left him amazed. Invited to try out a new semi-automatic rifle, the prime minister sprayed bullets through the nearest target on a firing range; when it came to his son's turn, Lim reported, former Brig.-Gen. Lee Hsien Loong missed with every round.
After publishing the story, however, Lim was bawled out by an officer who told him Lee Hsien Loong hadn't been aiming at the targets. When Lim contacted Lee, he confirmed that he had been getting the feel of the rifle and wasn't trying to hit anything in particular. Lim apologized and offered to publish a correction.
Much to Lim's surprise, Lee, who had not long before left the armed forces and become a government minister, criticized the officer for his approach, and told Lim not to worry, that it wasn't important.
The typical Singaporean official of the time would likely have demanded a retraction at the slightest hint of an error. To Lim, now a media consultant, Lee's ability to accept that a mistake had been made, and his confidence that his military credentials would not be undermined by an inaccurate news report, set him apart from the previous generation.
The article went on to say, "As he takes over as prime minister, only the third since Singapore became independent 39 years ago, Lee Hsien Loong assumes the job with a great deal of such praise, from friends, colleagues and observers" – and quoted Patrick Daniel, now editor-in-chief of the English and Malay Newspapers Division of SPH.
It said:
Patrick Daniel, who worked for Lee as a director in the Trade and Industry Ministry, cites an early stand on the thorny issue of wage reform as characteristic of Lee. "His speech showed a complete mastery of the subject, and he had the guts to say: 'You've got to reform'," says Daniel…
Daniel, now a managing editor at Singapore Press Holdings, describes Lee as a task-oriented policy wonk. "If you get the task done, everything is fine," he says. "If you don't, you have to answer to him."
Google also turned up a Sydney Morning Herald report headlined Singapore's son finally takes over.
The report dated August 11, 2004, began:
February 10, 1952: to Singapore, a son was born. His birth date, the 15th day of the first moon in the year of the dragon, is the most auspicious in the Chinese calendar, so his parents named him Hsien Loong – "Illustrious Dragon".
Tomorrow the Illustrious Dragon, Lee Hsien Loong, will take the prime minister's oath of office, making him only the third leader in the Republic of Singapore's 39-year history.
The report added "a poll in the government-controlled Straits Times newspaper recently showed that 83 per cent (of Singaporeans) thought he was the best man for the job".

How desperate is hurricane-ravaged New Jersey? Not desperate enough to suspend a union monopoly that keeps the state in the bottom ten states for economic competitiveness (and #48 for business friendliness). Relief crews from Alabama who were specifically called to New Jersey found themselves diverted to Long Island, NY after they arrived because they use non-union labor. Alabama is a right-to-work state.
WAFF-TV of Hunstville, AL reports:
Crews from Huntsville, as well as Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees....
Understandably, Moore said they're frustrated being told "thanks, but no thanks."
With so much at stake--and lives still in danger--it would seem logical to tell special interests to step aside.
On Wednesday, while visiting cleanup efforts in New Jersey in the company of Gov. Chris Christie, President Barack Obama vowed: "We are not going to tolerate red tape, we are not going to tolerate bureaucracy."
Unless, of course, that red tape is enforced by Obama's union cronies. Then stranded residents have to wait.
We must pray for recovery and they learn from this. You can only help them that will help themselfs or it is just enabling more failure.
God bless America and help us save her.
This disgusts me....people are suffering, cold, hungry, dirty...There is absolutely no common sense anymore...no moral humanity...this coupled with Bloomberg using generators for a silly marathon while his own constituents are suffering just makes me sick and angry...
Yes it is disgusting. I am not to happy with the moderate repub governor on this matter. Moderate repubs should just be democrats.
The thing I love is that some NY and NJ hotels are turning away foreign guests with reservations who are arriving to run in the Marathon, so that local people who lost homes can continue to stay! Fantastic! I just wish Fox would say which hotels they are, so I can support them in the future. Bloomberg should be fired for taking infrastructure from the disaster to make money on a race.
Christie now denies this with a lie. How disappointing that he now claims to Fox that they showed up in a place they were "not needed" and that is why they were sent home. LAME Chris! Really, after kissing Obama a55, you now kiss the union a55 in the same day?
Richard, I am so happy to hear about the hotels taking the high road and doing what is right...there is hope for humanity yet!!
That is great. The free market we still have is the only way to go.

A day after Senate President Mike Haridopolos toughened his stance against the governor's must-have corporate income tax cut, Republican Rick Scott said Monday that he still expected lawmakers to take steps to reduce the $1.8 billion levy.
A roughly 25 percent reduction in water management district property-tax collections was agreed-on Sunday by House and Senate budget negotiators. The cut was part of Scott's wide-ranging $2 billion plan for slashing taxes. But is the water management district cut enough for Scott to declare victory?
Probably not, the governor said.
"I'm glad that they are doing the right thing in regards with water management districts," Scott said. "And I remain confident that we're going to start the process of eliminating the business tax. It's clearly the way to get our state back to work."
Would he veto a budget that didn't make room for the tax cut, as the governor has hinted in radio addresses and interviews?
"I focused on three things with this budget," Scott said. "Step one, we need to reduce the size of this budget.
"Everything I'm doing, as you know, as governor, is to get our state back to work….We still have a million people without a job. The budget that I expect to sign will reduce the size of government, the cost of government, and the business tax."
Haridopolos on Sunday said he didn't think the Senate would go along with cutting the corporate tax, although he conceded that he and Scott's office had been working on some reduction plans.
Scott's proposal would have reduced the tax by $333 million next year– but Haridopolos said the Senate is more inclined to look at other reductions, leaving the 5.5 percent corporate income tax at its current level.

Fla. ex-lt. gov. to lead Pa. university system
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — University executive and former Florida lieutenant governor Frank Brogan was named the new chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, which oversees 14 state-owned universities.
The system's board of governors made the selection of Brogan, who was Florida's lieutenant governor from 1999-2003 under then-Gov. Jeb Bush, official in a unanimous vote Wednesday.
Brogan has been the chancellor of the State University System of Florida since 2009 and, before that, was president of Florida Atlantic University from 2003-2009. He will be the fourth chancellor to lead the nation's 13th largest public university system, enrolling about 115,000 students.
The position is the highest-paid job in state government. The previous chancellor, John Cavanaugh, was earning $327,500 when he stepped down in February, the same amount Brogan will be paid.
Peter Garland, a former executive vice chancellor of the Pennsylvania system, has served as acting chancellor since Cavanaugh resigned after five years to head the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Brogan's selection came after a secretive search process.
The system's board of governors, most of whom are appointed by the governor, voted unanimously in January to keep the search process secret for the first time in the system's 31 years. Such secrecy is increasingly sought by higher-education executives out fear of reprisal if their current employers discover they were job hunting.
Ronald Tomalis, Gov. Tom Corbett's education secretary at the time of the decision, was among the board members voting for the policy.
Tomalis stepped aside under mysterious circumstances to take a new job in May as Corbett's higher education adviser, while keeping his nearly $150,000 salary. Corbett did not explain the reason for the change but appointed William Harner to succeed him as the state's top education official.
The state system comprises the universities at Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester.
It doesn't include Penn State, Temple University, the University of Pittsburgh or Lincoln University, which receive some state funding but are not under direct state control.

Ohio Amish face unfamiliar life in federal prison
The federal prisons bureau doesn't keep figures of how many Amish inmates it has held over the years.
The federal system doesn't prohibit locking up relatives in the same facility, so the defendants could wind up at some of the same locations. The defendants include Mullet Sr., four of his children, his son-in-law, three nephews and the spouses of a niece and nephews.
The response to the jailing of one beard-cutting defendant highlighted the closeness of Amish families, said Altiere, the sheriff. While two relatives visited the defendant, more than a dozen more prayed behind a glass partition.
Andy Hyde, a defense attorney for two decades in the Amish area around Holmes County south of Cleveland, has represented about 40 Amish defendants over the years and said how they handle lockup varies, much like non-Amish prisoners.
"They don't all think alike," he said. "They are as individual as we are, so it's easy to lump them all together. There are bold, there are aggressive Amish. They are quiet; they are shy."
Some low-key Amish won't stand up when threatened in prison, Hyde said, but Mullet Sr. has encouraged a tough outlook.
"Grow up," he said in a recorded phone call to a jailed son who was among the first arrested in the case. "You can take more than that. I know it's rough."
Mullet Sr. wasn't as confident about his own ability to handle prison.
"You're in there like that - I can understand that real good," he told his son. "I don't know if I could handle it."
The prison system allows an array of religion-dictated head coverings for inmates, including scarves for Jewish women and hijabs for Muslim women and, for men, turbans for Sikhs, headbands for Native Americans and yarmulkes for Jews. Baggy pants and full-length robes mandated by some faiths are prohibited.
Inmates can buy clothing items from a small selection, mostly white T-shirts and gray sweat suits, federal prison system spokesman Chris Burke said.
As for the beards, "That's not an issue, as long as it doesn't present some sort of security risk or security hazard, and I'm not aware of any case where that's happened," he said.
There's also the danger of Amish being offended, or even damaged, by access to technology, though some Amish don't eschew modern conveniences altogether, Kraybill noted. He wrote in his book "The Riddle of Amish Culture" that some Amish have selectively adopted technology, including generators to power farm equipment and refrigerated milk holding tanks.
Kraybill knows one Amish man whose prison job taught him to work with audio equipment.
In 1999, four Amish serving time in Iowa for vandalizing a neighbor's farm were released from jail early in part because officials worried they were being spoiled by television, electric lights and telephones.
Amish may have seen television at a neighbor's home or in a public area like a restaurant, Kraybill said, "but to have it available constantly would create a whole new temptation for them."

The thing I'm most hyped about with XPS is that (according to this video) spooler size is much smaller than it use to be (approx 1/5th).
Perhaps the companies I work at never have enough printer memory, or this is a hardware issue, but I've found color laser printing to be extremely slow, even when working in reasonable DPI (ex: I often use 300dpi in Photoshop, which in laser terms is considered very low) and printing a 5"x5" image can take up to 5 minutes while the printer spools!!!!

IOW unless you're server is pushing hundreds of transactions (ex: web hits) at the same time, you'll probably never notice the improvement.
The real benefit I'm sure relates to multiple small transactions, not a couple large transactions. Often the bottleneck in computers is not throughput, but in the starting and stopping process.
But honestly I'm still excited because it will put to rest the whole argument that compare Linux & BSD to Windows when it comes to transactions per second, especially in the web world.
Finally, I'm sure you'll need a 64bit platform to even get the full benefit.
At around the 34min mark you mention how newspaper sites let you view old newspapers and if it's possible to view old versions of the Microsoft website. This is apples and oranges, BUT you can view old revisions of Microsoft.com (all the way back to 1996).

The audio quality is horrible, no I don't mean the encoding, I mean the volume.
I'm guessing the mic is trying to pick-up on the background noise and doing so, muffles the close sound. The exact opposite of what you want from a mic for interviewing/demos.
I wanted to point out at the 12 minute mark you come to a realization that I have been preaching for over a year and no search engine has touched on yet (except Lycos).
I truly believe the future of search engines is NOT in the list format we currently use, imho it's time that somebody creates a rich search engine that takes the keyword and realizes what do do with it.
If I type in the term "Terminator" I should get boxed sets of results and the neural net realizes Terminator is both a movie (so 1 box of movie reviews, 1 box of places to buy DVDs, 1 box of movie info).
The only search engine that has done this (and it seems nobody realizes the power of it) is Lycos. Go search for "Beatles" and look an the right of the screen. This is the beginning of what I'm talking about.

If you think only 2 people create MSN Search, then you'll have to believe only 2 guys make MS Office (with it's 10 million lines of code) and only 5 guys create Visual Studio with all of it's features and languages.

If you don't have a NiMH battery charger already you're living in the stone age. Get one, buy some batteries and stop whining.
Plus you can still get wired controllers. The core pack has a wired controller, only the deluxe box set has wireless controllers.
I don't see what you guys are talking about when it comes to quality, while I haven't done a side by side comparison but I'd say the video quality looks the same, but the real annoying part is that the audio is low quality 8kbps.
Please, please use at least 16kbps audio from now on, 8kbps sounds like the mic is inside a tin can. I'd rather have great audio and so-so video than great video and so-so audio.
And like the previous poster pointed out, it's now been 4 days and still no download video is available (which might have had better audio quality too).
