In the past, high-rise buildings did not enjoy a very good reputation in Germany. For many years they were considered nothing more than "housing silos", and were often associated with social housing. But that has changed: modern high-rise buildings like the Grand Tower or the Henninger Tower in Frankfurt are individually planned prestige projects, which turn residential living into a luxury experience. The high-rise building of the 21st century has shaken off its bad image and is developing into a new urban living trend.
High-Rise Buildings in the Past and Present
In the high-rise developments of the sixties and seventies, the emphasis was on practicality. Homogeneous housing served the purpose of providing accommodation to as many people as possible in a limited space. This resulted in many of these settlements being built on the city outskirts and often becoming social trouble spots, while lower buildings dominated the urban landscape in the inner cities. Meanwhile, however, lack of space has led city planners, investors and increasingly also the broader public to a gradual shift in perspective. The result: innovative high-rises which differ significantly from their predecessors from the last century in two respects. On the one hand, mixed use is becoming increasingly popular, i.e. the high-rise buildings combine office space, shops, hotels and private apartments in a single building. One example of this would be the Upper West Tower in Berlin, which is being built in the immediate vicinity of the Memorial Church. The key advantage: the buildings are occupied at all times of the day, which in turn has a dynamic effect on the entire city quarter. In addition, the previously dominant purposiveness has been abandoned. The modern high-rise buildings have unique characteristics, are increasingly designed by world-famous star architects, and set urban accents through their bold and visionary aesthetics, thus attracting investors from around the world.
A Focus on Luxurious Residential Ambience
Furthermore, the new high-rise buildings place great emphasis on upscale appointments and a wide range of service offerings that meet even the highest demands. Usual amenities include a parking garage, often also a 24-hour concierge service, a laundry service, as well as in-house fitness and spa facilities. The buildings themselves have an exquisite design and a high degree of individuality, but still exude an authentic urban flair. At the Pandion d'Or in Düsseldorf, for example, the apartments all share the same standard of living, but also have an individual design. But in the end it is the living at a lofty height which gives high-rise buildings their distinctive character and enormous appeal. Typically, the apartments and penthouses offer sensational panoramic views, e.g. the 172 metre high Grand Tower or the 140 metre high Henninger Tower in Frankfurt. As a crowning highlight, the Grand Tower even offers an 800 square metre community terrace and a viewing platform. The Henninger Tower, on the other hand, has a restaurant in the tower head.
At present, the construction of new high-rise buildings is still mainly occurring in Frankfurt, since the already existing skyline leads to a higher level of acceptance. However, the new generation of residential towers is also establishing itself in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Berlin.

Widget Offers Emergency Rooms Info About PEP
September 22, 2009
Adapted from:
A new computer application, or widget, developed by doctors at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan will allow emergency room physicians throughout the state to access up-to-date guidelines for post-exposure prophylactic (PEP) HIV treatment. The state AIDS Institute-funded initiative is currently being distributed to more than 200 emergency departments; the program will be expanded over time.
The St. Vincent's team calls it a "one-stop shopping" approach to PEP, with the application guiding users through a screening process to determine treatment eligibility; providing specific information on the 28-day antiretroviral (ARV) regimen; and linking to consent forms in 22 languages. The widget's home page also includes a counter that tracks the number of new HIV infections in the state.
"There's a gap in knowledge in the health care sector about these topics," explained Dr. Tony Urbina, medical director of HIV/AIDS education at St. Vincent's, who developed the application with colleague Paul Galatowitsch. "You'd be surprised at how many patients come to us and say, 'I went to an emergency room, and the doctor didn't know what I was talking about, and I didn't get the drugs.'"
The widget includes information that is "reliable and updated by the State Health Department," eliminating the need for online searching on sites that may not be reliable, said Urbana.
The widget makes clear that the first dose of ARVs should be administered as soon as possible, and that patients who think they may have been exposed to the virus should be given high-priority, emergency status.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: College of Science and Mathematics
President's Journal —
College of Science and Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry Building, Dec. 3, 2012
Producing and celebrating great successes
I met today with the College of Science and Mathematics, a college that vividly illustrates the juncture at which JMU finds itself today. With many of the qualities of a small liberal arts college and the opportunities associated with a research-intensive university, this college is experiencing the dramatic surge in growth associated with the recent nationwide emphasis in the STEM fields. Our college is producing and celebrating great successes—extraordinary undergraduate and graduate research experiences, program offerings not ordinarily available to undergraduates, superlative graduates who are going on to graduate and doctoral programs and medical schools in substantial numbers, others who are becoming science and math teachers and still others who are going into business and industry. All of them—majors and minors—are practitioners dedicated to solving problems. This success is possible because of our high-achieving faculty scholars and researchers in the sciences who are creating new knowledge and mentoring students to do the same.
Becoming the national model for the Engaged University
My "Why Madison?" session with this college has helped bring into sharper focus both the opportunities and the challenges we face. In fact, the tour has been designed for us as a community to determine who we are and where we have been as an institution, to identify the strengths we want to preserve and build upon, and to prepare to chart our course for the future. I have mentioned frequently along the tour that I do not want us to emulate another college or university—a U.Va. or Virginia Tech or a Swarthmore, the liberal arts college I attended, for instance. That would be too limiting for JMU. Instead, we must build on our unique strengths and set our own course to become the best James Madison University that we can be. The country is looking for something fresh and responsive from higher education, a new class of institution that can help lift society. I believe that with our signature strengths, JMU can become that new "something." Along the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour, I have begun using new terms to talk about JMU and its future. Together, I believe we can make JMU the national model for the Engaged University.
This college has made outreach and recruiting programs a particular strength
Our programs have recognized that one of the most fruitful ways to prepare more STEM graduates is with robust programs that reach out to students while they are young. They have developed programs that are successful in recruiting students to study in these areas. Our departments run a series of groundbreaking summer camps for K-12 and under-represented students, including heralded programs like Chem-Tech, College for Kids, Saturday Morning Physics, 4VA collaborations, our interdisciplinary STEM Education Outreach Center and more.
Extending our reputation for science and math teacher preparation nationwide
I was pleased to hear that JMU is becoming known as the prime university in the commonwealth for preparing science teachers. I would love for us to extend our reputation nationwide, as preparing science and math teachers is a nationwide priority and exemplifies the strengths of an Engaged University. This achievement is testament to the work of this entire college. Mathematics and Statistics and Geology and Environmental Science are especially strong. In fact the Earth Science B.A. has become a hallmark program for producing future earth science and science educators, while summertime initiatives support current teachers in becoming better earth science teachers. Mathematics education is a particular strength for Madison. This department has harnessed the creative power that comes from the collaboration of our mathematicians and mathematics educators in the College of Education. Physics is also undertaking new methods for increasing the production of top physics teachers, and of course biology and chemistry also contribute mightily to our reputation on this front.
Putting "high school science teacher" on students' career radar earlier
I find it interesting that, while students might come to JMU knowing they want to be an elementary school or math teacher, they don't usually enter college with the intent of becoming a high school science teacher. They evolve into that. My wife and I love to ask high school students what they're thinking about studying. We hear a lot of pre-med, pre-law, and pre-business responses. Some want to be teachers, but high school science and math teachers are different animals. So how do you as an institution with our strengths prepare to attract students for these programs? I think it's an interesting challenge
Medical School isn't always the most popular option
Likewise, I understand that we have an influx of freshmen—400 or so each year—who say they want to go to medical school, often because they are not aware of other programs that they ultimately find to be more interesting. During their Madison career, many transition to other programs. JMU has a respectable contingent of students—80 last year—who apply each year to medical school. Our progression standards offer students an opportunity early in their college careers to assess their standing and to adjust or develop new goals with different majors.
Delivering that Madison Experience is becoming more challenging
The leaders of these stellar science and math programs tell me that it is becoming more and more difficult to deliver that vaunted Madison Experience—that close faculty-student mentorship, early research and instrumentation experiences, internships and hands-on practica, service-learning opportunities, all of which address real-world problems. Our faculty is talking creatively about finding ways to continue to deliver that hallmark JMU educational experience. I know they will be exploring the use of technology to help in that endeavor. When I asked whether we can use the summers as instructional opportunities so that we can take the pressure off of space and alleviate the student-faculty ratio, I heard that biology is exploring that concept and that summers are already well utilized in the sciences. Our students and new transfers are enrolled in our May, June and July terms. Our REU programs occur in the summer, and faculty and students are in the labs and conducting field work and in-depth scholarship.
Chemistry grows up demonstrating how to produce the best of both worlds
I think the chemistry department head highlighted well the place JMU finds itself today. She said the department has always prided itself on being a small, liberal arts college department in the midst of a big university. It is now regarded as among the best in the nation. The program has grown up demonstrating how to produce the best of both worlds—personal attention and opportunity. And yet with the recent rapid growth of the university and the growth in STEM and the health sciences, I am hearing that the chemistry faculty is seeking creative ways to avoid a fundamental shift in its long-held values. The department head explained that JMU has built its program relying in large part on past NSF grants, which have enabled chemistry to purchase sophisticated instrumentation (that is now starting to age). For 22 years, the Research Experience for Undergraduates program has been the cornerstone of JMU's summer program. The fear among the faculty is that NSF might not look at Madison as it did 30 years ago and instead choose to help a new small department. That potential loss of funding would be a major concern.
New facilities for the sciences east of the interstate
On the positive side, the nation's emphasis on producing STEM graduates has meant new facilities on the east side of the interstate for chemistry, physics and biology, which just moved into the new Biosciences Building. The facility was designed collaboratively to accommodate how today's life scientists are teaching, researching and learning. There is interactive teaching going on, and faculty members have arranged themselves in lab/research communities. The entire building was designed with an organic and naturalistic feel.
Wishlist of financial resources
The need for financial resources has been a common theme of my visits with academic units. This college was pretty united in its wish list: faculty for additional teaching and mentoring, advising professionals so faculty can concentrate on mentoring, faculty support, faculty and student research funds and stipends, grant application assistance, the space to accommodate the surge in STEM enrollment, and facilities and equipment maintenance and upgrades. The science and math administrators agree that it would be helpful to have a grants office resource to focus on looking for sources of grant funding and notifying the faculty about current opportunities, new funding areas and foundations.
Biology is one of JMU's largest programs
Biology has historically been one JMU's largest programs, and that continues. Today it serves more than 1,000 (and growing!) biology and biotechnology majors, plus that many again who are nonmajors—from the health sciences, pre-professional programs, nursing, kinesiology, GenEd and Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies. Biology's growth in majors is outpacing JMU's overall growth. With more than 20 honors thesis students mentored in biology every year, the faculty is known for teaching excellence, innovative teaching strategies and assessment. The biology faculty includes some renowned researchers who publish routinely in high-impact journals, who are the recipients of some incredibly competitive NSF and NIH grants and who incorporate both undergraduate and graduate students in their research. The graduate program has increased dramatically, and graduate stipends are desperately needed so that our graduate program can compete nationally. It will be important for us to find a funding source to overcome this shortage.
Physics and Astronomy is among the nation's largest programs
I was incredibly impressed with the Department of Physics and Astronomy, which prides itself in being among the 30 largest of the country's undergraduate physics programs—graduating about the same number as Duke and the University of Southern California. Our program is a powerhouse of top scholars and teachers with external grant funding of more than $4 million; research and hands-on learning for undergraduates; external collaborations; multiple concentrations (materials science, astronomy, nuclear and particle physics), a diverse faculty, and a robust outreach program that supports its recruiting efforts.
Physics is innovating and seizing opportunities
Two programs under consideration would add still further to the breadth in this department—an interdisciplinary robotics minor (with mathematics and statistics and others) and applied nuclear physics (made possible by the inheritance of equipment from Rockingham Memorial Hospital cancer center), which would really distinguish JMU's program. This department's innovation is characterized by its experimentation with flipped courses (in which the lectures are consumed at home and the labs and other engaging exercises occur in the classroom with the professor).
Geology and Environmental Science meets the challenge of high enrollments
In addition to preparing future teachers, Geology and Environmental Science has done some groundbreaking work to deal with the increased enrollment in the sciences. It has focused some of its new faculty to handle very heavy teaching loads, incorporating active learning exercises in large-format classes, which has actually become one of the strengths of the program. This program offers a tremendous diversity of upper-level courses at the undergraduate level and extraordinary success in moving students to graduate programs.
Taking advantage of the geologic features of the Shenandoah Valley
One of the strengths of the Geology and Environmental Science department is the Shenandoah Valley itself, which was certainly one of the things that attracted me to JMU. Our geology faculty and students are out virtually every week among these beautiful geologic features in vans with the department name painted on the side. Students are required to conduct research or fulfill an internship to graduate. During my visit, I was able to see two Geological Society of America undergraduate best-poster awards for research that our faculty members have supervised and that were funded by national competitive grants. Three-D visualization work, a six-week field course and teacher's course in Ireland and a geology/ecology course in the Bahamas are distinctive aspects of our program. Foremost on this faculty's list of needs is to move from Memorial Hall to be closer to the rest of the sciences east of the interstate.
Math and Statistics travels light and achieves big
Mathematics and Statistics is one of our departments that travels light and achieves big. Since math lives in the realm of the theoretical, the need for lab space and equipment—aside from the computational power of computers—for our faculty's research agenda is much less complex than for the sciences. The department just recently acquired its first faculty member needing an actual wet lab to conduct some biology research. Just as with other College of Science and Mathematics departments, our faculty is conducting some groundbreaking research, and faculty research with undergraduates is one of the hallmarks of the math and statistics program. In fact, I have come to understand that Madison's math education is equivalent to what students would receive at a selective liberal arts college, and yet JMU is large enough that the math program can offer a range of courses that appeals to many of our minors here. This faculty boasts a wide range of specialties. It has some definite needs in terms of staffing, given the expanding enrollments in IDLS and engineering. Like other departments across campus, faculty retention is a major concern for math, even though the department is very competitive. Many of the new faculty members are truly interested in working with undergraduates.
Interdisciplinary collaboration a hallmark strength
We spent some time talking about the benefits of one of JMU's hallmark strengths in higher education—interdisciplinary collaboration. One terrific example is the Center for Materials Science, which has involved faculty and students from all the sciences, math and engineering. This kind of collaboration occurs beyond the sciences as well--with the arts, for instance. At some institutions, researchers insist on their own labs while at JMU the approach is "gee, if we can get four people together who can all use a clean room, let's save money and do it." There's a very collegial attitude among the faculty. I was heartened to hear that this is an attitude these administrators want to guard—through hiring the right people, by calibrating the faculty rewards system, and team recognition for grants. I agree that we must work intentionally to keep this approach on track so that we do not devolve into turf battles. We will have to make deliberate choices as an institution to accomplish this.
Creating greater visibility for grant funding
We spent some time talking about how to experience greater success in an area that will rise in importance for us—grant funding. While we have had some noteworthy successes in obtaining high-profile grants, it has been challenging for JMU to get noticed. It's a challenge when you're not a research-intensive university. I sit on an advisory council for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of NIH, and I'm always fascinated to see the same institutions getting these grants over and over. In order to create greater visibility for JMU, we discussed increasing the contingent of our students we send to research conferences and encouraging our faculty to serve on panels so that the granting organizations and other institutions get to know JMU as the top-quality researchers we are and for our undergraduate research capabilities. I would also like us to visit some of these granting institutions and invite some of them to campus so that JMU becomes a known entity inside those halls.
JMU's hallmark collaboration has a big payoff
Our hallmark collaboration will bode well for JMU, since funding agencies are beginning to require multiple investigators on their awards. The science faculty and administrators recommend putting in proposals with other institutions in a tiered mentorship arrangement, with Ph.D. students at other institutions and with JMU as the undergraduate component. It gets our faculty involved with faculty at the R1 institutions, but more importantly it gets our students involved with those faculty and those students there. I agree that efforts along these lines are really quite useful and symbiotic, because JMU has the expertise in training undergraduates that the R1s lack to obtain these NSF grants that are designed to create broader impact. Some of this could grow out of the 4VA initiative.
Transfer students from community colleges are an opportunity and a challenge
We spent quite a bit of time talking about community college students who transfer into our science and math programs. We can expect the numbers of transfers to increase, given the Commonwealth of Virginia's emphasis on this pipeline. We are completing articulation agreements with the state's community colleges, and finding that many community college students are not prepared to complete their JMU science and math coursework in two years. The science and math courses they take in community college are not up to JMU standards, and so these students really struggle, and our faculty struggles along with them. We do not want to turn our backs on this route of admission to JMU. After all, our community colleges open a door to diversity for JMU—through transfers who tend to be first-generation college students and students of myriad backgrounds, including the great range of immigrant communities in the region. We must be able to scale up our excellent transfer advising program so that community college students are counseled effectively about preparing for entry into Madison.
Inviting community college faculty to partner with JMU faculty
I was so enthused by this group's creative problem solving. In addition to influencing course development at nearby Blue Ridge Community College, the physics department head today suggested bringing community college science faculty members to JMU for some summer professional development opportunities—including asking them to teach a JMU course or conduct research at JMU with our faculty. I really like this idea. It's a way for the community college faculty to feel like peers and avoid defensiveness. The experience would calibrate them to JMU expectations in the sciences. I think we could do something like this in a variety of disciplines. This sort of summer academy would allow JMU to deliver on the commonwealth's direction and to open doors to NSF funding geared to engaging community college faculty.
The future: Fundraising and alumni engagement
Just as we will be concentrating on increasing grant funding, we will also be focusing on private fundraising. We can no longer depend on Richmond or constantly raising tuition to to meet all of our resource needs. We must count on our alumni, 97 percent of whom say they are happy with their Madison Experience, to give back financially in much higher numbers. Just 7 percent of them give back, so we must do a better job of asking for their support—including alumni in our burgeoning science departments.
Alumni love to reconnect through their major programs
Alumni increasingly are going to be a very important resource for us in terms of jobs and networking for students and for an increased emphasis on charitable giving. I was pleased to hear that several of our departments have robust alumni guest lecture and alumni award programs. These efforts bring in science and math alumni who present an array of success stories to inspire our students and fund scholarships. Some of our programs are forming alumni advisory groups, which can really get our alumni involved in the life of our academic programs. This resonates well with alumni. All along the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour I have been hearing that people enjoy these intergenerational connections, enjoy coming back to campus and feel like reconnecting to renew their own Madison Experiences. Advisory boards across the university play a very valuable role in volunteer leadership development and can lead alumni to become major donors to the university. These relationships will be the wave of the future.
Increasing the awards we present to our alumni
I encouraged the science and math department heads to explore ways to increase those relationships with alumni. One way is to increase the number of awards we present to alumni—and students and faculty too. We have just a handful of university-level awards for alumni, and that is something we must really increase. Receiving these awards means a lot to our alumni, coming as they do from their departments who once mentored them and seeded their success. I would like us to talk about developing additional awards across the university, to take an inventory of the awards we present on the departmental level and see how we can coordinate them and raise their visibility.
Faculty member are ready and willing to participate in fundraising
I was pleased to hear that the science and math faculty are willing to work in this realm and that they would like some guidance about how to develop their conversations with alumni into some fruitful areas—whether lecturing, volunteering or making a gift. There are plans in process to have University Advancement identify and train some faculty members who are already conducting some of these relationships. The development officer for science and math programs is a ready resource for anyone who is interested. It will be critically important for our academic programs to share news about faculty relationships with alumni to University Advancement. The development officer will be glad to communicate that information, which in the long run can help us make fundraising connections for our programs for major donors and also our student telefund callers talk more in depth about these relationships.
Recognizing that students are fundraising catalysts
The science and math department heads reiterated what I've been hearing all along the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour—from faculty and alumni alike: I agree, we must identify ways to educate our students—when they are students—about the importance of giving back to JMU after they graduate in order to make the Madison Experience better for future students. I welcome more ideas on this front, as this will be very important for the future of Madison. Our current students can also serve as catalysts with our prospective donors. Our best ambassadors are our students because alumni want to give our undergraduates the same (or better) opportunities than they have experienced. One of our science departments is making preparations to send copies of students' research posters to donors. This is just the kind of personal stewardship that our donors appreciate and that can strengthen these relationships.
Ideas for improving our efforts and meeting some of our challenges
I want to thank the administrators and faculty of the College of Science and Mathematics who met with me and Provost Benson today. They have offered some very feasible ideas for improving our efforts and meeting some of our challenges. I hope they will keep the ideas coming. Our time together has really been helpful, and I appreciate the work of this stellar and dedicated faculty. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

Further readings for the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With an all-new 20.2-Mpix full-frame CMOS sensor featuring dual DIGIC 6 processors, a native ISO range up to 51,200, and continuous shooting at up to 14fps, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is the latest top-of-the-range model in the maker's lineup. Read on to find out how well this new sensor performs.
Nikon's mid-term revision to their flagship full-frame D4 series camera includes an updated 16-Mpix CMOS sensor and the new Expeed 4 processor amongst a raft of other, mostly subtle refinements. Read on to find out how the new top-of-the-range model performs.
The zoom range 70-200, or thereabout, is one of the real classic lenses, an absolute "must" for sports and photojournalism. The faster the maximum aperture the better, but most important of all it must be a good performer. Tamron's SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD has the right specifications and a price tag that is very attractive, especially when you see how good it is.
Introduced in November 2012 as the proposed 'kit' lens for the EOS 6D, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens represents an interesting move for Canon – despite two well respected lenses in this category, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM hopes to offer a compact, lightweight lens suitable for the newly created lightweight, full-frame camera segment. The red L-series band offers the promise of professional performance, but does it live up to the expectations?
Introduced in February 2012, the EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the long-awaited update to Canon's pro-grade standard zoom and replaces the highly regarded EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM. Designed with the objective of improving image quality and providing greater durability for daily use with digital cameras, it has a completely revised optical design as well as an enhanced mechanical construction. As full-frame lens, it's compatible with the firm's full range of DSLRs including 1.6 (APS-C) and older APS-H (1.3x crop) DSLRs making it an attractive choice to a wide of range users. However, at around $2,500 it's not likely to be a casual purchase.
Adding a new line to the Canon EOS range, the EOS 6D is a fusion of the EOS 7D and the EOS 5D Mark III, that also includes some trickle down technology from the EOS-1D X. How does the EOS 6D fare against its competitors and more illustrious stable mates? Our tests reveal the answer.
By replacing two predecessors with the Canon EOS-1D X, its new flagship professional DSLR, Canon hopes to deliver both the top-notch image quality of the studio-oriented Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and the superfast performance of the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV sports shooter. A compromise of sorts between speed and image quality, the 1D X manages to deliver enough improvements to satisfy both markets.
The EOS 1D X is the new flagship camera announced at the top of Canon's professional range of DSLRs. It will have the difficult task to replace both the sport-specialized, fast 1D series and the studio-oriented, high resolution 1DS series.
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
Three-and-a-half years after the release of the full-frame reflex EOS 5D Mark II, Canon finally unveils its successor, the EOS 5D Mark III, a reflex camera that takes several significant qualitative and functional leaps forward by borrowing the latest must-haves in photo technology from the EOS 7D and the EOS-1D X.

It seems like yet another meh combination rpg but there is also Hyper Demension Neptuna coming out Feb 8. Not one that I will be looking at buying during the blitz, but I may come back to later since I actually thought Trinity Universe was decent, although cliched to hell.http://www.nisamerica.com/games/neptunia/
While Neptunia's another example it really does not sound any good.
Quote from: Eusis on January 31, 2011, 12:15:56 AMWhile Neptunia's another example it really does not sound any good.Based on how many elements? HAH.The only thing I liked from "Let's Plays" on youtube were the "crunch" and "thwack" sound effects when characters attack in battle. Nothing get's the idea of "doing damage" quite like those SFX.That, and the weird "transformation" voice you hear....something is awfully wrong when I like soundeffects more than anything else. HMM....
Do we really have to discuss Neptunia in this thread? :(Anyway, Gamestop now has a listing for a Limited Edition....$39.99. I guess that means I should cancel my Amazon pre-order and pre-order the Limited Edition when it becomes available instead...http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=90146
Congrats Falcom! Trails in the Sky series has sold over 1 million units.http://www.siliconera.com/2011/02/09/falcoms-trails-in-the-sky-series-soars-past-one-million-units-sold/
I just preorded the Limited Edition. I got a good feeling about this game so I have a feeling I'll regret it later if I don't get the LE. I like Falcom and the fans have said a lot of good things about it so I have high hopes.

Sport Climbing near Vrede. ±30 routes, grades up to 7c+. Short routes on soft Sandstone.
Best Season
All year round
Sport Rack & 50m rope
The climbing
The crags are situated on a farm and are all bolted, mostly short lines. There are just over 30 routes graded 12 to 29 or so. The soft sandstone rock tends to be quite soft and chunks can often break off. It is wise to use a helmet for belaying, especially on newer routes or when opening routes.
Getting there
The crags are situated on the farm Langberg about 10km out of Vrede. From the N3 you can get onto the R103 either from Villiers or just out of Warden. After Vrede on the R34 follow the signs to Memel. About 9-10km further on this road you should see a colourful farm stall, just after this take the first farm road to the left marked "WGP Wessels - Koefontein". Drive down the road and keep left when it forks. Drive to the farm house.
Food and accommodation
There is a well stocked house with cutlery, plates, cooking equipment, fridge etc. for about R40 per person, per night. The house sleeps about 10. Booking is esssential, please call Jacana Trails on (012) 346-3550. There is a Spar supermarket in the town of Vrede. The area also offers some hiking trails and mountain biking.
Route numbers are marked on the rock. The route order is not always left to right as is the norm, use the route numbers. Topos are available from the farm house.

DENVER—One of the people behind a successful effort to recall a state lawmaker over new gun restrictions says he's running for Pueblo clerk and recorder.
Victor Head announced his candidacy Tuesday. He's the president of Pueblo Freedom and Rights, which led the effort to force the recall election of Pueblo Democratic Sen. Angela Giron.
Clerk and recorder offices across the state oversee elections.
Head says he wants to improve training for election judges and increase citizen oversight over elections.
In addition to Giron, voters in El Paso County also voted to recall former Democratic Senate President John Morse.
Last year, Democrats passed universal background checks and restricted the size of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.

We have several types of movie that have different ways of answering the same question. This sounds like a job for subclasses. We can have three subclasses of movie, each of which can have its own version of charge (Figure 1.14).
This allows me to replace the switch statement by using polymorphism. Sadly it has one slight flaw - it doesn't work. A movie can change its classification during its lifetime. An object cannot change its class during its lifetime.
It then goes on to show how the State Pattern can solve the problem thus stated. I am not so sure about this argumentation - typically the movie data would be stored in a database and the object would be created just for the one transaction - I think it is reasonable to assume that the movie does not change it's classification during the transaction. But OK - all this is just to show how the State Pattern solves the problem even if in this case the problem itself would not be real - for sure there are cases where it would.
Then it got me thinking - well in Perl you can change the class of an object during it's lifetime. I've even seen it done, I don't quite remember where. In general it is considered to be nasty - but is it always? In real life it is normal that things change - a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, a child becomes an adult.

CalPERS Pension Info Online CalPERS announced Monday its plans to release the database of previously private information of its retirees, such as their names, employment dates, and the amount of their pensions. CalPERS claims it's a way to improve transparency in the pension system, but retirees are upset about the invasion into their privacy. Tim Behrens from the California State Retirees and Robert Glazier of CalPERS join us today to discuss the upcoming changes and the possible repercussions.

Emergency Drill When disasters happen, a community's ability to respond can make all the difference for victims. The quick response from emergency services at the San Francisco Airport this past weekend when a plane crash landed is credited with keeping the causality count low. As it turns out, airport officials and emergency responders are constantly training for different disasters and one such drill happened yesterday at Sacramento International Airport. Reporter Bob Moffitt was there and he joins us to talk about what he saw.

Valerie V Sacramento vocalist Valerie V began her music career at the age of 49 and subsequently started her life "in reverse," as she says, releasing albums and meeting celebrities and generally adjusting to a new life in the spotlight. In the 12 years since then, she has focused on her jazz and has moved into being a promoter and booking agent, including for Grammy award-winning Mary Youngblood. Today, she takes a break from her busy schedule to join us in studio before performing at Second Saturday this weekend.

In the making of "Argo," editor William Goldenberg cut a million feet of film — more than 185 hours of raw footage — into a two-hour movie. "Argo," directed by and starring Ben Affleck, tells the story of the 1980 CIA-Canadian operation to rescue six fugitive American diplomatic personnel, disguised as a film crew, from revolutionary Iran.
Goldenberg selected shots and assembled them into sequences ranging from the suspenseful intensity of the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran to the comic absurdity of a Hollywood read-through of a bogus sci-fi film. And when he had sifted through it all and was ready for a break, what did he do next? He signed on to help edit another thriller set in the Middle East, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty."
When you were editing "Argo," what discussions did you have with Affleck?
In terms of the movie and the feel of it, we talked about other movies that it would be like. We talked about "Network" and "All the President's Men," "Three Days of the Condor" and great movies of that era. For the CIA stuff, it would be the feel of the pit in "All the President's Men" where Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman worked, that feeling of people doing their jobs in a giant bullpen. And the CIA wouldn't be all glamorized and high-tech. It would be these guys with their sleeves rolled up working really hard.

There's now a cure for hepatitis C… but most can't afford it
It sounds like some sci-fi dystopia but this is the situation the 150 million people who have the hepatitis C virus (HCV) find themselves in today. HCV is spread through blood-to-blood contact, mostly through shared needles. Around 350,000 people die of HCV-related liver complaints each year but new drugs have been developed within the last 6 months with cure rates higher than 90 per cent. Even though these drugs could be produced generically for as little as $68 for a 12-week course, big pharmaceutical companies such as Gilead are pricing it up to $84,000 – that's $1,000 a pill.
'Not only is eradicating HCV within our grasp, it's something that could be achieved well within in our lifetime,' says Leigh Daynes, executive director of Doctors of the World (Médecins du Monde) UK, which is campaigning to increase global access to the new HCV drugs. 'Pharmaceutical companies need to work with us to get these essential, life-saving drugs to those that need them; thousands are dying each week they delay.'
Gilead, which was granted regulatory approval in 2013 for the leading HCV drug Sofosbuvir – brand name Sovaldi – plans to sell the drug for a reduced rate of around $2,000 in middle-income countries, where around three-quarters of the world's HCV-infected people live. But even then most will still be unable to access the drug. Egypt – which has the world's highest prevalence of HCV – is one such middle-income country that Gilead announced would be getting discounted treatments.
'Gilead are only giving a discount to a restricted number of people who access public health centres in Egypt,' said Chloé Forette, harm reduction and Hepatitis C advocacy officer at the launch of Doctors of the World's report on access to HCV medicines. 'For those forced to buy it privately it is likely to be 5 times more expensive.'
To put this in context, the monthly average salary in Egypt is $250.
Gilead may grant what's known as a 'voluntary licence' for some low-income countries, meaning generic producers are given permission to make the drug and distribute it in these countries at a lower price. Most who need the drug globally, however, would remain excluded.
'This licence is likely to be restricted to 60 countries, which would be the smallest-ever scope for a voluntary licence, excluding around 60 per cent of the people infected worldwide,' says Chloe Forette. 'And even in these countries many still won't be able to afford it as there's no international funding mechanism available to buy these drugs for people.'
The overarching reason why so many people will be excluded from being cured is not a pretty one. Industry analysts believe the demand for these treatments will translate into annual sales of $9.1 billion for Sovaldi alone by 2017. Those in the pharmaceutical industry often argue that high prices are necessary to pay for the drug's research and development (R&D) costs. This is not the case for Sovaldi, which is an adaptation of an existing molecule. And even where R&D costs are high, these can be recouped – while also allowing for a healthy profit – from sales in rich countries alone.
Suggested ways to make the treatment affordable through generic competition include patent opposition – where the 25-year long monopolies on drugs are challenged – and compulsory licensing – where pharmaceutical companies are forced to allow others to manufacture the drugs so they can be made and sold for a reasonable price. The World Health Organization has called for a 'multi-pronged' approach to tackle the issue, which could include tiered price discounts, voluntary licensing and compulsory licensing.
'There needs to be a global renegotiation about access to commodities when it comes to global public health threat,' says Professor Michel Kazatchkine, UN General Secretary Special envoy for HIV and AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. 'We have to consider all of the current means we have to bypass the very basic and fundamental contradiction between our international, intellectual property treaties and our treaties on human rights and access to health.'
Many of these battles regarding access to medicines have already been fought, with some success, by those calling for cheaper HIV and AIDS drugs since the 1990s, which is giving HCV activists hope. In 2000, antiretroviral HIV drugs cost $15,000 – meaning only 5 per cent of people in low- and middle-income countries could get them. Thanks to generic competition, 15 years later the same therapy can cost around $60 and more than half of people in these countries can access them.
Activists hope it will not be such a long struggle with HCV, especially as, unlike HIV, these treatments have the potential to cure the disease in a single short course.
'We have an opportunity to eradicate the virus, so this is a chance to bring the debate back to the international level about our inability to deal with all the major public health issues such as HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis C,' says Professor Kazatchkine. 'People will continue to die in large numbers unless we completely rethink this fundamental contradiction between human rights and intellectual property.'

Happy Armistice Day!
On November 11th, 1918 at 11:11 am the armistice went into effect and World War I ended. Over 15.1 million deaths are attributed to the war of which 6.5 million were civilian. Many of surviving soldiers had endured years of brutal trench warfare facing cold winters, gas attacks, and the 1918 super flu outbreak.
Here are a couple of good sites with Armistice Day information:
Remembrance Day - Australian site with many links for World War I and its impact on Australians. Covers the history of remembrance Day and why its name was changed from Armistice Day.
Millions fall silent in memory of war dead - CNN account of Armistice Day by Europeans in 2000.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT'S ARMISTICE DAY ADDRESS - FDR gave this speech less than one month before the USA entered World War Two.

You don't have to post this on the site, but I just thought I would le tyou know about this. I work with the Education Research project. We are looking for High School World History teachers to field test a chapter on the French Revolution in January 2006 for a major textbook publisher. The project is open to teachers in CA, NY, TN, NC, IL, MA, MI, MO and PA. The gratuity pay is $250 for each participating teacher.Please share this with any high school world History teachers you know. Thanks.
Also, I'm a blogger (homegirl.typepad.com) I ran across your site on a google search for high school world history teachers. Thanks for considering our project...current and future.

Indeed, World War I was perhaps a more horrific war than World War II (at least for the soldier involved in trench warfare). The war had a long-lasting effect on Europe's attitude toward war in general, balance-of-power relationships in particular.

All the shops feature boxes of imported dry dates on the most visible spots as the dates have a special place in the Ramadan diet and are eaten to break the fast as well as finish the iftar; in the late afternoon families could be spotted heading to the houses of their other family members to cook and share the evening meal - they are carrying bags of small gifts and vegetables for cooking and women are covered from head to toe in the nice fabrics and colors of their festive dresses; every evening the Ramadan cannon fires off about 8 pm signaling the time for the evening prayer and iftar. From my observations as opposed to the Orthodox Lent the Ramadan fasting is a very communal matter. During the Ramadan after abstaining from food and drink for the whole day you get together with your family members and friends to eat and celebrate the holy month while for those observing the Lent it always appears more of an ascetic personal struggle. I would like to try fasting for Ramadan once but this year I have just used it as an excuse to remind myself and the others about the wealth of the light vegetarian dishes served during the holy month and sourced from a wide range of countries where Islam is practiced. I am making this post to celebrate the gastronomic multiculturalism and emphasize the fact that the many vegetarian treats we know from our travels also have an important festive and religious meaning to the people living around the world. I have browsed through a wealth of the food blogs for an inspiration and happy to share the amazing finds - do check the links for the recipes and interesting reading. And Ramadan Mubarak!
Vegetarian Iftar Recipes from Around the World
|Turkish pide bread is baked only during the Ramadan: it looks like the summer sun and has beautiful dimples. Hungarian Gyor has traded this recipe for the recipe of Hungarian goulash and as far as I am concerned she has got the real deal.
|Naan is yeasted flat bread popular in Pakistan and Afghanistan and no Ramadan meal in these countries is complete without a few loaves. We are lucky to get hold of the naan making insights right from Kabul on Afghan Cooking Unveiled.
|In Tunisia you would break fasting with leblebi, a chickpea soup. It is such a vegetarian treat as featured by The Well Seasoned cook and well... it is well seasoned: rich in flavor and nutrition it will be a definite reward after a day of fasting.
|Moroccans have their take on a cheek-pea soup called harira: besides the chickpeas they use green lentils and vermicelli for this hearty vegetarian dish. It is brought to us right from the food stalls of Djemaa-El-Fna in Marrakech by Chef in You who has also photographed the cooking process step-by-step.
|Recipe of the immortal Turkish red lentil soup along with insights into the world of professional chefs' tricks are shared by the Canadian ladies who have attended my most favorite cooking class in Istanbul.
|Iranians break their fast with Ash reshteh, a noodle soup with herbs. Its seems intuitive that the best recipe can come only from My Persian Kitchen staffed with the knowledgeable cooks and consultants.
|Samosa is a triangle-shaped stuffed pastry that would be an integral part of iftar in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Balgladesh. Eliza gives step-by-step instructions to stuff and wrap samosas so nicely that from a simple street food items they turn into quite elegant dudes.
|Börek is a filo-dough stuffed pastry known from the Ottoman times. It comes is a part of the appetizer iftar platter in Turkey and on regular day it is a glorious vegetarian snack. A mouthwatering recipe is shared by the Sound Indian by origin Reshmi.
|Festive, vegetarian, Middle Eastern - can a dish get any better? Ful medems is Egyptian treat of mashed brown fava beans with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and spices. Magda is sharing a video recipe too.
|However stereotypical but true: Lebanese would not miss savoring delicious hummus during the iftar. Among many takes on this vegetarian favorite I have found the olive hummus that comes from...you've guessed it!..Dallas and the Cooking Weekends.
|There is no summer iftar in Lebanon without a bowl of fattoush, vegetable salad with pieces of pita bread that was originally invented to make goof use of the bread leftovers and has become such a festive dish: light, colorful and delicious. There is even a melody in this one by Ali, a musician from the Kansas City.
|Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern salad based on bulgar wheat. It's filling and has a bright, fresh flavor from the mint, tomatoes and lime juice. Jen from the Kitchen Addiction re-thinks it and adds chickpeas and artichokes for the ultimate filling summer meal!
|Mujaddara is a Middle Eastern rice and lentil pilaf. Learn to work wonders with humble ingredients and check out the recipe by Culturally Confused who serves mujaddara with tomato sauce for the ultimate summer touch on this vegetarian Ramadan dish.
|Such a festive meal as iftar can't get more festive as with flavorful and colorful couscous from Morocco. The Kalyn's kitchen took a poetic license and created a masterpiece: whole wheat couscous salad with persimmon, grapes, green onion, mint, and pine nuts.
|Qatayef Asafiri are sweet stuffed pancakes rather symbolic for the Ramadan time: to spare you a trip to Damascus (there are no many reasons to spare a trip to Damascus, though) find out the most authentic way to make them and check out the recipe by Anissa Helou.
|Turkish deserts supremely high-on-sugar become more subtle during the Ramadan when you can eat güllaç, a milk desert with a delicate touch of rose water - Hulya is sharing all the intricacies of making this delight.
|Basbousa is a Middle Eastern sweet widely served in Ramadan: it is a delicious almond semolina cake often cut into little diamonds. One piece by one and the whole tray is gone! No worries - Fun and Food teaches you how to make more.
|Dates are not only eaten raw to break the fast but provide inspiration for a range of deserts and sweet bites. Anne from Simple Easy Recipes has got inspired and sharing the outcome in the recipe of the Easy Dates Squares, a nice sweet bite for Ramadan.
|Divine and refreshing sharbat is a milk drink from India and Pakistan which is popular for family gatherings including the Ramadan ones. Exotic Aooh Afza Syrup, cardamom seeds, almonds, cashews and pistachios - are you still with me? Why? Immediately got to Pham Fatale for the recipe.
|Another wonderful drink served for iftar on the Indian subcontinent is lassi. Made from yogurt, seasonal fruits and spices it is truly unforgettable - I would travel there again just for a glass of lassi! Meanwhile, the splash of flavours (and colors) is coming from the Purple Foodie.

Targets (1): firefox-19.0-1
Total Installed Size: 32.52 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -14.89 MiB
I was really surprised to see the install size change that much? Has anyone heard what Firefox did to achieve this? I would have thought the size would have increased with the addition of a native PDF reader.
I laugh, yet the joke is on me
Maybe the devs accidentally built it with debug options enabled last time..
I don't know, got it and it works for me so meh.
Looking at the sources, there is a small increase in size, in fact.
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org … .2/source/
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org … .0/source/
Looking at the PKGBUILDS, there is no difference apart from the version bump.
I'm confused by that too.
If I extract the two packages manually, into separate directories, and compare the size with du, 19.0 is slightly bigger than 18.0.2; but pacman reports that firefox is taking up less space than it should be.
/tmp/firefox$ tar -x -C ./firefox18 -f /var/cache/pacman/pkg/firefox-18.0.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 2>/dev/null

Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
Hmm... Puzzling. Looking at the git commits it was just a version bump, no changes in build process. Let's see if the package file is larger:

Nope. OK, but that's compressed, what's the installed size of those packages?
sid ~ > pacman -Qi -p /var/cache/pacman/pkg/firefox-* | awk '/^Version/ {printf "%s - ", $3} /^Installed Size/ {print $4 $5} '

OK. Something did change massively. Let's see which file changed sizes:

Only about a 200k diff there. I can't see what's causing this.
I'm still lost
Sounds like a bug in makepkg. Something caused it to calculate the installed size wrong and put that into the .PKGINFO
I used firefox-aurora from heftig's repo (http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/repo/$arch) for a long time and such huge size jumps happened with every update, although there hasn't changed much, obviously. So I think this is a bug in pacman / makepkg!

Ah, so the install size is reading off the PKGINFO and not the actual install size? I'll watch for the next version bump and see if it corrects itself.
I laugh, yet the joke is on me

If you want the real size you can use this:
>> (echo -n "(" ; stat --printf "%s + " $(pacman -Qql firefox | grep -v '/$') ; echo "0 ) / 1024 / 1024") | bc

2007 Mitsubishi Galant ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Fresh styling, new Ralliart model results in nice sedan.
We could name a number of midsize, import-badge sedans that ride comfortably and quietly, handle responsively, and offer an optional V6 that provides ample power for passing. All feature roomy, nicely appointed cabin space, and all represent good value in the family-car market.
Mitsubishi Galant does all that, but offers sharp styling, the kind that turns heads in traffic. Not everyone will like what they see, but none of them will accuse the Galant of being a wallflower.
The current-generation Galant was launched as an all-new model for 2004, and Mitsubishi has improved and refined it every year since then.
New for 2007: The 2007 Mitsubishi Galant brings a freshened look outside, improved materials inside, and revised suspension settings designed to provide greater comfort and a more engaging driving experience. The 2007 Galant GTS gets a new five-speed automatic transmission.
Also new for 2007 is a high-performance model called the Ralliart, with more horsepower, tighter handling, and sporty styling. Ralliart is Mitsubishi's motorsports arm and has been a dominant force in the World Rally Championship, which includes the Monte Carlo and other famous events, and cross country endurance raids, such as the Paris-Dakar Rally. Mitsubishi hopes the Galant Ralliart will challenge the Acura TSX and TL, as well as the MazdaSpeed6.
The Galant Ralliart seems a long way from the Galant VR4 rally cars so successful in the early 1990s, but so what? The more we drove the 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart, the more we liked it. It struck us as a comfortable, big midsize sedan with some sports appeal. It isn't as agile as a MazdaSpeed6, but it's roomier and more comfortable. It certainly isn't as upscale or refined as an Acura, but it costs less. It's an easy car to live with that does not give up comfort or convenience for its added performance. At times, it reminded us of a Chevy Monte Carlo (yes, we know it's a two-door) and it seems nicer than a Pontiac G6. In any case, the Galant Ralliart was an enjoyable car that never annoyed us. And we're easily annoyed.
Galant has achieved across-the-board five-star ratings in the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) offset-frontal and side-impact crash tests. The insurance industry's Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded Galant its highest ranking ('Good overall') in its frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Galant comes in four trim levels, but they are not the same four as last year. The upper-middle LS has been discontinued, the GTS slightly demoted, and the new Ralliart added at the top of the range.
Galant DE ($19,899) and ES ($20,999) are powered by a 160-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and come standard with a four-speed automatic transmission. Mitsubishi's Sportronic system, which allows a semi-manual shifting when desired, is now standard on all Galants.
The DE comes with air conditioning; height-adjustable driver's seat; height-adjustable steering wheel; power windows, mirrors and door locks with remote keyless entry; 140-watt, four-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo; rear-seat heater ducts; carpeted floor mats; and an engine immobilizer. Standard tires are P215/60R16 all-season radials on steel wheels.
ES adds ABS with EBD, six-speaker stereo with MP3 playback, cruise control, and a more deluxe cloth interior with a driver's seatback pocket and sun visor extenders. Appearance upgrades include color-keyed exterior door handles, titanium interior accents, and ice-blue LED illumination for climate and stereo controls. ES options include the Sport Package ($1,000) with 16-inch alloy wheels, dark-bezel halogen headlamps, crystal ellipsoid rear lamps, a color-keyed rear spoiler, and the Ralliart's Rockford Acoustic Design audio with Sirius satellite radio. The ES Premium Package ($2,000) adds leather seating surfaces, faux leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, power glass sunroof, auto-dimming rear view mirror with Homelink, and additional minor goodies.
GTS ($24,999) features a 230-hp, 3.8-liter V6 and a five-speed automatic transmission with a Sportronic feature. GTS adds leather seating, faux leather and audio controls on the steering wheel, heated front seats with eight-way power for the driver, dark-bezel headlamps, fog lamps, and a tire-pressure monitor. The instrument panel features white-faced gauges and woodgrain accents. Front brakes are larger, while wheels and tires upgrade to 215/55R17s on 17-inch rims. GTS options include the Sun and Sound package ($1,000), which combines the power glass sunroof and Rockford Acoustic Design audio with an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Homelink transmitter, a security alarm, and more.
Ralliart ($26,999) is powered by a 258-hp, 3.8-liter V6, with a sports suspension, upgraded brakes, and larger wheels and tires. It comes with the five-speed Sportronic automatic. Ralliart has a unique look inside and out. Upholstery is perforated leather, and the pedals are aluminum. All of the GTS luxuries are standard, plus automatic climate control, a power glass sunroof, auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink, and a unique Rockford Acoustic Design audio system that includes the hardware for Sirius satellite radio plus a six-month subscription. Optional on Ralliart is a DVD navigation system with a seven-inch touch screen ($1,850).
Safety features include dual-stage front airbags, side curtain air bags, and front seat-mounted side-impact air bags, and four-wheel disc brakes. All-wheel drive is not available. Anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution start with the ES model. A tire-pressure monitor comes on GTS and Ralliart models.
The Mitsubishi Galant makes a strong styling statement. Not everyone agrees on the success of the design, but there's no disputing it's different.
For 2007, the styling has softened a bit, at least when viewed from the front, thanks to a more conventional chrome-outlined grille and a softer, simpler contour for the one-piece bumper and lower fascia. We're ambivalent about the grille but like the new bumper. Sculpted headlight housings still cover the forward edges of the front fenders. The Galant looks like it's grinning.
In profile, the Galant's long, wedgy stance avoids the boring box-on-box look commonly associated with conservative midsize sedans. The roofline picks up from the graceful sweep of the hood and arcs cleanly over perfectly proportioned side windows. Door handles integrate nicely into the design while providing an easy grasp, easier than that offered by an expensive Audi A8 we just drove. Wheel arches are mildly blistered and boldly circular, wrapping concentrically around the tires.
The deck lid seems truncated, as if it were abruptly chopped off when somebody realized it was getting too long to stay in balance with the front overhang. The aerodynamicists argue this works well in a wind tunnel, but on the street, it's a bit of a visual hiccup.
For 2007, the rear bumper has been smoothed and rounded, which better integrates the front and rear of the car.
The Ralliart is distinguished by unique bumpers, which sport a flash of silver at the bottom, and by a mesh grille and projector-style, four-bulb ellipsoid headlamps. A color-keyed aerodynamics add heft to the side view, which is further enhanced by 18-inch wheels. Ralliart tail lamps have clear lenses, which are integrated into the rear spoiler.
The Galant has a roomy, comfortable interior. The seats are supportive without being overly firm. The seats in the GTS seem to offer a bit more support because of their leather upholstery and additional adjustability. A dead pedal is provided and positioned well, giving the driver a place to brace the left leg when cornering or for reduced strain on long trips.
Roominess is comparable to that of the Chevrolet Malibu and the Nissan Altima, placing Galant among the roomiest sedans in the class. Galant matches the generous front legroom in the Honda Accord. While the Accord offers nearly an inch more headroom when comparing cars without a sunroof, when sunroofs are ordered the Galant scores more than a half-inch better than the Accord.
Visibility is good all around, notably to the rear quarters, thanks to slim C-pillars. The high beltline gives passengers a secure feeling.
The Galant is easy to operate. Controls are right-sized and easy to use, with knobs and buttons and rocker switches galore. The heating and air conditioning knobs are big and easy to operate even with gloves on. The AC indicator is hard to see in bright sunlight, however. At night the instruments are cobalt blue on black, and the audio panel features ice blue LED illumination (on all but DE). Keyless entry controls are integrated into the key, eliminating the need for a separate fob.
For 2007, the Galant gets new inner door trim, a new knit-fabric headliner, and a redesigned steering wheel.
Quality of materials is decent, quite good for a Mitsubishi. The interior of the base DE model is quite plain. The ES adds bright titanium trim to the door handles, radio buttons, and the dashboard's accent panels; with a black metallic finish highlighting the center audio panel. Even so, the dash still has a clinical look, friendly to the eyes but cold and austere in presence.
Each door has a storage pocket. Two medium-size cup holders are molded into the front center console rearward of the shift gate; where dust, dirt and spilled liquids are likely to require regular wipe-ups.
Leather upholstery and color-coordinated wood accents give the GTS model a richer look. GTS offers a choice of black or Creme leather; with Creme you get Brownwood, while black-leather Galants come with Blackwood. Door armrests, door grips, the center console lid, and the seatbelts are all color-keyed as well.
Perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces come on the Ralliart, along with heated front seats and automatic climate control. We haven't tried the new navigation system, but even without it, Ralliart features a standard trip computer with a 4.9-inch color LCD screen that displays outside temperature, compass heading, maintenance scheduling and other information; as well as functioning as an interface for customizing various interior conveniences.
The Rockford Acoustic Design premium audio system (standard in Ralliart, optional in ES and GTS) features a linear eight-channel amplifier that produces 360 watts continuous at less than 0.02 percent total harmonic distortion (THD). A dedicated channel drives each loudspeaker, including a pair of silk-dome tweeters mounted on the leading edge of the dash. Digital Signal Processing provides user-selectable listening environments, including Normal, Studio, Club and Concert.
The rear seat in all Galants is roomy, though the seating position is low and the bottom cushions could offer more thigh support. Rear-seat passengers enjoy decent headroom in spite of the dramatically sloping roofline.
The trunk is slightly smaller than what's found in the Accord, and the trunk opening is a bit restricted. Galant's rear seats cannot be folded down to extend cargo space.
Driving Impression
The Mitsubishi Galant delivers a smooth, quiet ride, thanks largely to its stiff platform, wide stance and long wheelbase. Minimal noise leaks into the cabin, just a slight rumble from the tires and a discernible whistle from the mirrors at highway speeds.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine in the popular DE and ES models develops 160 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 157 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm, competitive figures for the class. It features Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC), which switches between two cam profiles for optimum power, response, and efficiency at high and low engine speeds. It's a sophisticated setup.
The four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, although it does hunt a bit in hilly territory. In the normal mode, it shifts automatically. With the Sportronic feature, it can be switched into a semi-manual mode. It will not shift up or down automatically when in the manual mode, so the driver has full control over shifting.
The V6 in the GTS makes freeway merging easy. Passes on two-lane roads are completed without drama. The V6 is rated 230 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque, the latter one a substantial figure; torque is that force that propels the car from intersections and up hills. Premium fuel is recommended but not required.
V6 models come with electronic traction control, which can selectively apply the brakes at one or more wheels and/or reduce engine power to control wheel spin on uncertain surfaces. It's especially useful in the rain, but even in dry weather can eliminate annoying screeches when taking off from intersections. The new five-speed automatic transmission with Sportronic also features a manual override.
For its size and heft, the Galant feels decently planted on all but the most twisting roads. But with the arrival of the Ralliart, the GTS is being repositioned as a luxury model, and has surrendered its rear anti-roll bar. That means it will handle more like the base-level DE and ES.
The Ralliart handles well and rides nice, though it shouldn't be confused with an Audi S6. The Ralliart features higher-rate springs and dampers along with a larger, 21mm rear anti-roll bar (that has disappeared from the '07 GTS). The Ralliart model's P235/45R18 all-season tires promise prodigious cornering grip and braking performance.
The Ralliart V6 uses the MIVEC variable-cam system and slightly higher compression (10.5 vs. 10.0:1) to boost its output to 258 horsepower at 5750 rpm, and 258 pound-feet of torque at 4500. It's a smooth, powerful engine. Mitsubishi says it develops 220 pound-feet of torque at just 2000 rpm, which makes for a smooth, responsive engine when riding around town, yet it's not annoyingly jumpy with an overly sensitive throttle like some performance cars. Mitsubishi claims the Galant Ralliart can sprint from 0-60 mph in about seven seconds, which is a fine performance.
Brake feel is solid and reassuring, but the Galant is not a light car. Anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) come standard on all but the base model. EBD proportions braking pressure between the front and rear wheels depending on how the car is loaded, and adjusts stopping pressure dynamically as weight shifts forward under hard braking. The idea is to send the brake pressure to the wheels with the most weight on them, which is where it can do the most good. This gives the Galant stable braking performance.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Galant represents a viable alternative among mid-size sedans. It does everything reasonably well and is enjoyable to drive. Compare prices to the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and other cars in its class. The new Ralliart variation offers more aggressive styling and performance yet it's a comfortable, pleasant daily driver.
NewCarTestDrive correspondent Tom Lankard reported from San Francisco, with Mitch McCullough reporting from Los Angeles.

Besides the crater lakes Mount Gambier has a number of sinkholes with some of them converted into impressive gardens. The Umpherston sinkhole is nicely landscaped and the cool rocky maze of cavities in the limestone are home to many possums which come to the gardens during night.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes.
