Part of the bill for building four new schools - including
Wakatipu Secondary School's new site in Queenstown - could be
met by a public private partnership, the Government said
An invitation for Expressions of Interest will be issued for
the design, construction, financing, and maintenance of
Aranui Community School and
Rolleston Secondary School in greater Christchurch, Wakatipu
Secondary School's new site in Queenstown and a new school in
Auckland yet to be confirmed.
"If the expression of interest is successful and the PPP
(public private partnership) goes ahead the Ministry of
Education estimates the cost of construction and maintenance
for the project will be more than $200 million,``Education
Minister Hekia Parata said.
The use of a PPP could deliver savings of 2 to 8 per cent
over traditional procurement by the ministry, she said.
The schools would be built regardless of whether a PPP deal
could be agreed, Ms Parata said.
Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye said the green light
from Cabinet for the project followed the ministry's first
PPP contract, signed in April 2012, with Learning
Infrastructure Partners for the development, financing,
construction and maintenance of Hobsonville Point primary and
secondary schools.
Today's announcement came after an American firm expressed
interest in setting up a charter school in New Zealand.
Opponents of such schools say overseas organisations should
not be publicly funded to run schools here - potentially for

THE CONVERSION FROM 2D IS OK LOOKING BUT NOT CLOSE TO REAL 3D MATERIAL. I DON'T SEE ANY DROP IN PICTURE QUALITY IN 3D EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT FULL 1080p, IF YOU SIT AT THE RIGHT DISTANCE THE PICTURE LOOKS GREAT. I TRIED ACTIVE 3D TV AND HAD AN INSTANT HEADACHE BUT NOT WITH THIS ONE. OVERALL GREAT PRICE FOR THE PACKAGE. BUY IT ONLINE, IT'S $100 MORE IN THE STORE.
I did the order online and store pickup all with in an hour, and saved 100.00 off the store price. This tv is the best picture ive ever seen. What I am most amazed with is the 2d to 3d conversion. Tv channels, dvd's, blu ray, it does all of them. I have my ps3 hooked up to the tv, and between the two of them........WOW this tv didnt even need the 3d blu ray player thrown in to make it well worth the cost. People, you have not seen Star wars or Lord of the Rings until you've seen them on this tv! Good Times!
After checking several other 3d tv units I finally decided on this one. I have had the unit for one week now and must say it is turning out to be one of my better buys. The picture quality is great and the 3d features are awesome. I am especially impressed with the 2d to 3d conversion as this allows me to watch regular programming and older dvd's in 3d. While not as good as actual 3d, it is, none the less, very, very good. Sound could have been better but most folks add speakers anyway so no big disappointment there. Plenty of inputs and USB as well (for photos, music, etc).
All in all I really feel this to be an outstanding package and well worth the price paid.
I have only had the TV for 3 days now and it has been excellent. I have yet to try the 3d blu-ray yet but that is only due to the fact you cannot rent them anywhere yet and they are expensive to buy. I have played Xbox 360 on it and there was no lag. The 3D on games like Halo Anniversary and Gears of War 3 are simply amazing. I noticed no lag playing in 3D and was blown away by the picture and graphics. I run Direct TV and the picture is wonderful. For the price you cant go wrong. The 2D-3D conversion is pretty cool, it makes the picture seem deeper however nothing comes out of the screen in this mode. The glasses are lightweight and once you get into the movie or game you are watching/playing you don't really notice them. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get into 3D without spending $1000 or more. Note that the 3d blu-ray doesn't come with an HDMI cable, contrary to what many folks say you don't need a 1.4 HDMI. I am using a high speed HDMI cable I have had for 4 years and it works fine.
It was great price and it turned out to be a great TV. The only thing that I had to do was take it off the energy saver. No problems since.
Price was AMAZING! For what I got and especially it being a 3D TV, $799 was a steal! Walmart has an in-store pickup option which is fantastic because you can purchase alot of things online cheaper. For this TV, it was $799 online, but $899 in-store. I placed my order around 8pm and was sent an email saying I can come pick it up at around 9pm. Pro Tip: When purchasing something online and wanting to pick it up in-store, call around to your local Walmarts and find one in stock. Then when you order, choose the store you KNOW has it in stock. That way, you can pretty much pick it up immediately and save some green at the same time! Exterior Quality:
The exterior of the TV is sleek and sexy and super flat. The stand has only 8 screws and is a breeze to put together. The Blu-Ray player that came with the TV is a licensed LG Blu-Ray player and matches the TV very well. The Glasses are of "OK" quality. A little better than the glasses they give to you at the movie theaters. Pretty sturdy though. I don't see a problem with them at all really unless you have younger kids. Be ready to replace them. They will break easy if not handled with care. I guess I was expecting "RayBans" or something lol. But not really disappointed there. Interior Quality:
This is where the TV shines. LG has been known for quality work and this TV is no different. The LED screen is the newest to hit the market and gives the best quality on a screen I have seen so far hands down. The display is super vibrant and bright. The TV has a variable brightness display that will adapt to the ambient light in the room. Example: We had all the lights on in the living room and turned them off to watch a Blu-Ray and the TV automatically brightened up and change the contrast ratio to give a deeper sense of "blacks". (VERY COOL!). The 1080p display is crisp and perfect for Blu-Rays. The 120htz (hurts) or the "refresh rate" makes every movement on the screen seem really smooth. No more motion blur! Bring on the football! Sound:
sound is really not of a concern for me. We are in a small apartment and have yet to step up into a surround sound setup. However, the sound is perfectly fine for anyone who doesn't BLAST the sound up when watching a loud action movie with a ton of explosions. 3D:
This TV has around 6 different styles of 3D to choose from. Ranging from the ridiculously fast and mind hurting "moving 3D" to the normal 3D we are used to seeing in the movie theater. But this is my favorite part. This TV had 2D-3D capabilities. This means, you can turn this mode on and turn any DVD, Blu-Ray and even television to a basic form of 3D. Of course this mode is nowhere near as cool as the 3D you can find on movies that support 3D. However, it makes things just "pop". Final Thoughts:
LOVE Tthis TV. The price was better than expected. The quality from ANY LG product is top notch anyway and this TV is no exceptions. I am VERY pleased with this purchase. I would recommend this bundle to anyone wanting to get into the HDTV game or even step up into the 3D realm.
I decided to go with the LG 3D TV based on the fact that I was able to see its 3D capabilities at a local electronic store. At the time the display was out the 3D was great the images really popped out of the screen.
Bought the TV and can not replicate the 3D at home. There is 3D but the images just are not popping of the screen even after manipulating the various 3D settings, viewing positions, TV placement, purchasing a high end HDMI cable for 3D and lighting.
Even though I can not replicate what was shown at the electronic store there is a small 3D effect, but the kids want the 3D to be like how we saw it in the store and to be honest so would I. The picture is very clear I like the light sensing technology that allows TV to change brightness based on the lighting. The sound is great also. When the house is quiet the volume setting is at 3!
Menu options are easy to follow.
One draw back is that the TV itself can not connect wirelessly to the internet, so updating firmware will not be as simple as it could be.
This TV is fantastic for viewing 3-D. The picture quality is better than watching 3-D at the theater. The 2-D HD is awesome. You will be blown away the first time you watch a bluray. The only down side is watching channels that are not HD. You get used to the high quality picture and are dissapointed with anything less. This was the cheapest price for an LED TV of this size and it had a bluray player and 3-D to boot. What is not to like.
LG's passive 3D technology is great, you can sit and watch 3D for hours without getting a headache, it looks amazing and the 3D glasses are cheap cheap cheap. The picture I found to be excellent, the TV is nice and thin and it has all the modern features like 120hz refresh, 1080p, HDMI, LED and a 3D BluRay player to boot. One thing I was a bit puzzled at was why they gave you two different remotes, you'd think they could just give you one universal remote since you're buying a bundle. Also one modern feature missing from this TV is internet awareness, it doesn't have Netflix, Hulu or any other webTV/IPTv features. I bought the TV primarily for gaming though and for that, this TV is horrible. I have a 5 year old 24" 1080p 60hz 8ms computer monitor that is better for gaming that this modern day LG set. The TV suffers from major Lag issues, no matter if you feed it a 720 or 1080 resolution. There is a slight delay between telling your character to move and him actually moving, likewise when you stop movement, your character moves for a few milliseconds. I can better describe it using my laptop which I hooked up to it via HDMI cable. When i started moving my mouse, the mouse had a few milliseconds delay before moving on the TV. Likewise after is topped moving my finger the pointer stopped on my laptop screen but continued to move for a few milliseconds on the TV. You just can't play today's modern day shooters with this type of lag on the display. So if you're a shooter player looking for a new screen to game on, this isn't going to work for you. Even though the passive 3D technology would let you play for hours on end without a headache, the lag will put you at a competitive disadvantage. Thankfully Walmart took it back with no fuss and I am looking for a new gaming HDTV.
I purchased this TV to replace my 37" LG LCD 720p that I purchased five and a half years ago for $2,000.00. I had decided that I was going to get another LG when it was time to purchase new, because I was very satisfied with the LG brand. The main selling point for me was the price, but when I saw what came in the bundle: the 42" 3D LED TV itself in full 1080P, the 3D Blu-ray Player, and 4 pair of 3D glasses - I had to have it. I saw it in the store first and went to lg.com to do research on it to find out dimensions and such, and that was when I found out about the 2D to 3D conversion function. Then I made my purchase here, picked it up in the store I saw it in, and there you go. I hooked it up and was amazed at the picture quality and the 3D conversion. It is excellently crisp and clear in full HD programming, not quite so in non-HD but it still has a good quality nonetheless. It has plenty of hookups for external video devices. However I was disappointed that there was no port for s-video, but I reckon the trade-off is 2 sets of component video and 3 HDMI ports as well as the USB. The sound quality is good. The only drawback is the fact that the speakers face downward so you don't get the full impact. I am going to have to construct something to direct the soundwaves outwards towards us, so we can hear it better without turning it up so loud. I am also disappointed that it only has an optical audio output. To use my current speaker system I need standard stereo outputs (RCA red and white) or a way to convert the optical to stereo so I don't have to go out and buy a whole new setup. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with and glad I purchased this TV Bundle. It is an excellent value, and I recommend it.
I had been watching this technology develope from Japan more than a year ago and Visio had been the first to bring out theater 3D in 720p. Based on the same technology as what you see in the Theater, this TV has impressive 1080p cinama 3D. It uses the same glasses as the ones you get from the movie theater and they do work well I watched the Green Lantern in 3d and it was all stunning. I have a collection of about 12 plus the 4 that was in the package. The only thing I do notice is that there isn't any flickering( a +# and you donot have ghosting #a +# or white pixel objects that occure in your periferal vision #a +)and best of all no head aches(a ++). Visio does have a product like the LG it is called Theater 3D and works close to LG in quality. I had purchased this unit because I use a PS3 to do online movies and such so I didn't need the WIFI capabilities that you get with the more expensave units and it was'nt an issue connecting the PS3. 3D gaming is the best I have seen, ever. Sound is a bit narrow like any slim TV but if you add a surround sound sound , is of course excellent too. I had been waiting for the price drop on the shutter style "Active" 3D setup but read about the "Passive" tech was close to being perfected. IT would of cost 650 for a converter box and 4 shutter glasses for my Samsung DLP which I heard was a very good 3D view. I redireted my funds to purchase this TV, which I love. This has true 1080p 3D, last years models were only 720p so hopefully this info helps in a difficult discision. Site to store is a great option too.
Completely Satisfied! Bought this TV after researching online (only) for 2days this week. Bought online, went to local Walmart for pick-up and the same bundled floor boxes were priced $100 higher! Wow - I had to look twice at my receipt to make sure I was getting the online pricing, and I did! Hooked this bad boy up and viola! The absolute crispest, sharpest picture I"ve seen in years. The LG replaced an Akai 50" DLP HDTV at 5yo and the tech today is absolutely amazing. We thought we needed 3D BD movies, but that's not true! The one-touch 3D button on the remote converts your Bluray Disc into 3D! We bought the Pharoahs, Mummies IMAX 3D and was stunned. Then threw in a 2D Lost in Space BD and bam, pushed the 3D button and was AMAZED. This TV is great and at the online price of $798, it's a steal. However, it does come w/ two separate remotes and you must reprogram the TV out of the factory setting of Eco/Energy Savings to get the best picture quality. And get a Sound Bar or hook up a Receiver for sound, although the TV's sound is adequate, you'd miss the immersion if you don't. I truly bought a TV w/o even looking at them in person - based soley off ireviews and could not be more happier! Also, I loathe hi-glossy screens and this one is not glossy #if it matters to you! - it does to my wife and I!# Oh, this is not a Smart TV - so if you are looking for inet/netflix integrated into this TV or the bundled 3dBD player #wired ethernet only and only for firmwear updates#, not happening. We swapped out the 3D BD player w/ another brand #which we also purchased weeks ago at Walmart - and can now access the inet/netflix wi-fi from the other 3DBD player# --- but Enjoy!
The TV is short a few features found on high end models, but picture quality is excellent and overall value is very good. The 2d-3d conversion works very well and has the family watching older forgotten dvds and some tv rerun movies with renewed interest. TV sound is poor, but most TVs are best with a theater system. The DVD player is lame... the image quality it produces is excellent, but it offers no network service and no component video output. As a package, It is stil a great value. I'll sell the DVD player and get a better Samsung model. (are you listening LG?)
I just replaced my 2.5 yr old LG 42LG70 and was blown away last night when we turned this on, the upscaling from 2D to 3D is beyond expectations (reg DVD content, even "extra features!") and our first 3D BD was absolutely marvelous! This set and combo deal is the best on the market, I also added the LG 5 yr protection plan since my other LG LCD set lost it's memory (for settings) at 2yrs. This matte screen is more reflective than the older model but the detail in the picture is noticeable improved! No bleed from LED and when movie content is playing we see no reflections during night viewing with lights off of course! The player that comes with it feeds movie content via HDMI 1.4 from BD to TV and I connected my older AV with an digital optical that produces full sound through the 7.1 system. U can use either remote to control the TV and the BD player, your choice. The base has a rear hole to connect to a table with a bolt that I use in my RV so it doesn't move around or tip over during a CA earthquake, LOL Overall Very Pleased. I also Love my LG Ally smart phone!!! :)
This is really a good TV for me as I just wanted to watch movies and episodes by connecting my hard drive and computer. I had lots of movies with HD resolution and I started watching it but then I realized that with only one click I can watch the same movie in 3D. No need to buy any extra DVDs/Blue-ray to watch it in 3D. Pretty good blu-ray player came with it as free. I am loving it. I am sure you would love it too. If you are planning to have TV to connect to internet and watch Youtube videos, etc applications, then you should think about another but if you dont care about that than I think you are fine with this for sure.
At first i was just looking at the site to see wat was new then i was gana get a home theater for my ps3 then i said "wait lets check out the tvs" because i was kind of tired of my 42" Vizio TV then i went to the 3D TVs then i saw that the LG 3D was for $799 then i was so amazed because i paid $750 for my non 3D Vizio i was so amazed that i bought it on the spot and i did the (pick-up today in store) option all of thath in 1 hour wow :) now thats fast. Fast forward when i set it up i was very amazed with the sound quality very very good sound thats what i like most bout it the great sound. Next the picture now the picture is ok but not as good as my previous Vizio but is ok i set up my ps3 and i had a delay that took me 2 days to fix it i had no idea on how to get rid of a half sec delay so i was so dissapointed i though it was my ps3 then the HDMI but i went on to youtube and i got help it was the TRUE MOTION that needed to be turn off so now i can play again. Last but not least the 3D its AWEZOME!!!! the 2D to 3D convertion is ok but when i play my 3D video games its so great and i mean great i can see things that came out of the TV i like it. The last thing is that this TV is very thin which is great so now what i need to complete my set a LG home theater wich am gana get in a few more weeks. I strongly Recommend this LG 3DTV especially because of the crystal clear sound. LG 3D cinema is the best right now....
The 3D BluRay Play "Nero" Application doesn't play my files via the internet, although it plays some of them. It will not play my Netflix, Hulu ...etc..accounts.
I had researched different 3D televisions before making my purchase. Amazon.com has a series of 12 videos online which is very informative about 3D technology as well as the different brand names and quality. I had considered both the "active" and "passive" technology. The shutter glasses (active viewing) are much more expensive and also require either batteries or recharging. You must also consider the possibility that they might be uncomfortable to wear as compared to the passive glasses. I was also concerned about the possibility of getting headaches, which I think would be more likely with the shutter glasses. The passive glasses that I got with the set are very light weight and comfortable to wear. In any case, I finally decided on the LG set with the passive glasses. It comes with 4 sets of glasses and also a blue ray player. According to the reviews that I had seen, LG has superior picture quality compared to other manufacturers. I can say that the quality of the picture is very impressive. Also, you can watch any program in 3D by simply pushing a button on the remote. There are a number of adjustments for the 3D picture, and you should refer to the owners manual about this. When I first viewed a program in 3D, I did not think that the depth was quite the same as I had seen in a movie theater that was showing a 3Dmovie. However, after making adjustments (especially with the 3D depth option) I was able to get what I believed to be theater quality. I set the 3D depth to (20) which is the maximum depth allowance. However, you can try different adjustments to see what you like best. I would say that overall, this was the very best deal for the money paid especially since you get 4 sets of the passive glasses and also a blue ray player with the package. Again, the picture quality in my opinion is astounding. Also, I believe that the 3D quality picture is true to life and very impressive.
Pros: Excellent image, Great in 2d and 3d
Cons: Only 3 HDMI Ports
Great picture. would recommened purchasing the LG smart tv add on in order to stream.

Is It Time to Stop Thinking about Projects?
For at least 15 years, I've heard people say that projects are dead. Projects and project-based thinking are relics of the 20th century.
I don't buy it. Let me explain.
Let's start with the definition of a project. The Project Management Institute (PMI) defines a project this way:

#Cubs Soriano underwent MRI on left leg. Don't expect results until Tuesday. Said DeWitt: "It's a tough loss.""
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
We can only hope it's something that would prevent Fonz from playing LF the rest of 2011, and for that matter, ever again in the NL forcing a trade to an AL team as their DH.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
It's Fonzie's left quad.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
About 10 years back I suddenly had quad problems in both legs while playing softball in a day long tournament. We had no subs left and had gotten pretty deep into the tourney, so I wasn't about to just quit when I could still stand up and look like a guy playing defense. My quads tightened up so bad I couldn't run, it was excruciatingly painful to try and just walk fast and made running the bases and playing defense basically impossible, but I had to play 3 games with it like that. We finally lost and were eliminated, but the moral of the story is, quad injuries can completely suck. I had all your regular sprained ankles and pulled hamstrings, got drilled a lot of times, got clobbered in football, but the quad problems were the worst. They continued to be tight and to this day if I try to run they still tighten up. It put an end to my softball days.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
did your team carry you on the payroll for 3 more summers after the quads shot craps?
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Why not Snyder or Campana or Colvin or someone we want to develop?
More interestingly, with DeWitt in the lineup, this may be the least threatening offense we've seen in awhile, at least in terms of power.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
DeWitt in LF....wow..that's .....that's brilliant?
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Sort of like replacing Derrek Lee with Neifi Perez in 2006... Welcome to Chicago, the place where managers' brains come to die.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I'd rather see DeWitt develop some versatility than see if Brad Snyder can play a few games in left. Snyder has no long-term value to the Cubs, but it seems increasingly likely that the only way DeWitt is going to have value to this team (either as a member or a trade piece) is if he can be a super utility type.
I don't agree with Quade's not-by-the-book moves very often, but I'm on board with this one.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I'd rather see an outfielder play left field.....DeWitt can't play 2B, and is just ok at 3B. We have enough defensive black holes on this team as it is..
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I can sort of see where he has a point, but you have to consider what it does to the pitching staff too, some of which we're also trying to develop, which to me would counteract any benefit you get to increasing DeWitt's bench value.
And now we have a perfect time for Colvin to play every day in the majors and we're blowing it.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Well Neal...Colvin's development can't come at the expense of the Cubs' shot at the pennant..
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I wonder if AZ Phil or some other follower of the arbitration rules could explain if the Cubs get some other benefit, like an extra pre-arbitration year from Colvin if they leave him in AAA for a certain period of time.
Not that I think the Cubs are likely to be that smart (Castro's callup last year being a prime example), but it's still interesting to me.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
he had 1+014 days entering the season and something like 47 days so far this year...
a few more days and the Cubs will buy an extra year at least before free agency. It didn't look like he had much of a shot at Super Two anyway after this year which is 2+130-140ish range.
Delay him long enough and he might not be eligible after next season either I guess.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Cool, thanks.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
Well i for one think if Q-ball plays the younsters there would be
alot more interest in watching ,they suck already.
Colvin should get call start in right everyday.
Dont we need a backup first baseman anyways.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I would agree why not Snyder also does he not have to clear waivers
to be sent down again,why not see what we have.
bottom of the ninth tying run on second pitcher up who the hell is he
gonna pinch hit for piotcher Zambrano i would rather see experience
on bench.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
I'm starting to think that the Cubs aren't that good this year.
Re: Geiger Blast Nets Cubs Split at Salt River Fields
you're onto something...call it intuition; call it subtle; call it nuance; call it crooked numbers in the error column of the linescore almost daily; call it the natural order of things; call it a season...

Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....
@Dusty Contreras if it's a Lester or Arrieta start. TLS is good PH too. You also forgot about Heyward, assume Fowler is CF.
I expect Soler to get optioned as well when activated and Cahill to replace Grimm. It wouldn't surprise me if Coghlan and/or Soler is included in a trade.
Maybe Coghlan is up to see if he can get on track before someone acquires him.
This move could also be to assure that we have as much OF depth as possible to maximize Joe's ability to rest players in September once we've clinched.

What is the best way in Cocoa (and Mac OS X) to schedule a program to be run:
- when the user logs in.
- at certain times of the day (for example: 12:00 noon).
- at certain time intervals (for example: every two hours).
Besides scheduling, it should also be easy to un-schedule the program and not cause errors should the user delete the application.
Essentially the program is a satellite command-line executable placed next to the main application's file within the same
.app bundle. The program's purpose is to do some background data updates in the user's home directory (within
~/Library/Application Support/MyApp.)
crontab a good candidate for this? The
man page for
crontab said that the functionality has been absorbed to
launchctl, but I can't seem to find how to schedule specific times to run the utility.

Glaring Error![edit]
Not all NMDA receptor antagonists are anaesthetics, as the opening line of the article suggests. Look at memantine or l-theanine. I do acknowledge, however, that the most talked-about NMDA antagonists are dissociative anaesthetics as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Acamprosate should probably be added to this page but I am not sure of its classification as to type of antagonist, so hopefully someone with more knowledge will add it.
Lost hope?[edit]
I see you put this in there: "However, many researchers have lost hope for development of a neuroprotective NMDAR blocker, since no clinical trials using the drugs for stroke or TBI have been successful." The opinion you cite there isn't quite as decisive in saying "researchers have lost hope," and the way you present it rules out the possibilites of combining NMDAR antagonists with other drugs (like GABA-A agonists) to protect against NAN. Take a look: [1] , [2] , [3] . Jolb 22:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I think a lot of researchers have given up on NMDAR blockers and a lot haven't. Certainly not everyone has given up. So I don't have a problem with changing the wording, go ahead. I think the major disappointments with the drug trials mostly occurred in the late 90's and the early part of this decade, so the paper from 1991 might be too optimistic. I just added a lot about said disappointments, let me know here if there's any problem with the material. delldot | talk 02:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, now that I think about it, this may be more the case in my area of specialty, traumatic brain injury. Obviously no one's giving up on memantine for the treatment of Alzheimer's, since it was just FDA approved for the purpose. So you're probably right that it needs changing: edit at will. delldot | talk 02:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Links in lead[edit]
I vaguely recall from somewhere in the manual of style it suggesting that you don't put links in the bold part in the lead. I'll look around and see if I can dig it up. If I can find it, would it be OK to move the links slightly further down? delldot | talk 02:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah ha, here it is. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Internal links: "As a general rule, do not put links in the title; however, this may be acceptable with complex titles or verbose leads, such as those concerning multiple concepts." This case might qualify as a complex title, so I guess it's fine either way. I have a vague preference for unlinking the title, any objection? delldot | talk 02:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Non-competitive or uncompetitive?[edit]
Wow, thanks for that graphic, delldot. You're much more of an expert than me, so I have a question about this article: From what was written in NMDA Receptor, I saw (most) of the list of NMDA Receptor Antagonists, including the part about "non-competitive channel blocker." According to your graphic, however, channel blockers don't go with "non-competitive," they go with "uncompetitive." I'll do some research on this and try and find out myself, but maybe you know. Jolb 22:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, glad you like it! I think different researchers classify them differently. With most enzymes, it's either competitive or non-competitive inhibition, so probably most researchers look at it as "competitive" and "everything that's not competitive". When you get something with a channel, it's useful to make a further classification. But they're still, of course, not competitive, so some researchers still probably look at it that way. This is my guess. I've seen a number of different papers refer to uncompetitive blockade, I can look for them and hopefully stick them in. I noticed memantine listed as non competitive and listed it as uncompetitive. Peace, delldot | talk 22:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Move? (from the incorrectly capitalized article)[edit]
I'd suggest moving this page to NMDA receptor antagonist since the naming conventions recommends sentence type capitalization (Capitalize the first letter and not the others unless there's a proper noun) and singular nouns except where you usually see it in the plural (e.g. French fried potatoes). Any objections or discussion? delldot | talk 22:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree, I realized that very soon after I created the page. I'll do it now. Jolb 22:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to put a {{db-histmerge|NMDA Receptor Antagonists}} template on the article, so an admin will come along, momentarily delete the article, and restore it with the history of NMDA Receptor Antagonists merged into this article's history. That way, jolb still gets credit under the GFDL for creating the article, etc. You can read more at WP:MOVE. delldot | talk 16:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I finished the history merge, including the history for both the talk pages. Cool Hand Luke 00:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
This is a beautiful article[edit]
I think that this article is a model article. It's well written, well referenced, has a very appropriate diagram, and not too long or short. Thank you, delldot! We should try to get it rated by an admin, as I'm sure it would get an A. Jolb 13:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Most of the credit goes to you, of course. I suggest that we add some more information and then submit it for peer review, especially since neither of us is an expert. That way we can be sure to have all our facts straight when we go for GA later. I'm willing to work on adding info in the upcoming week. Thanks again for all your great work, Jolb. delldot | talk 14:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
GA review[edit]
Hi there, I didn't think this was quite at GA level yet. What is here is good, but the article is not comprehensive.
Positive aspects of article
Well referenced Good, clear diagram
Negative aspects of article
Too short and fails to explain subject completely.
Suggestions - Need more sections and more background. Most importantly, a section on the physiological/biochemical effects of these drugs. Also a history section outlining the development of the field and also uses of these drugs in folk medicine/natural product psychoactive drugs, a section on modern psychoactive drugs and a section on clinical trials.
The fragment on Olney's lesions doesn't belong in the introduction and needs to go with the rest of the material on side effects.
Hope this feedback helps. TimVickers 18:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Partial GA review[edit]
I'll finish this this weekend, but here's some opening thoughts.
- At some point during the article, NMDA needs a wikilink.
- Done.
- Don't wikilink words in the bolded title of the article.
- Done.
- "dissociative anesthesia" should not include the quotation marks in the wikilink.
- Done.
- How are they created?
- Go into more detail about the recreational use of these drugs. For example, how has the usage changed over the years, particularly in comparison to other anesthetics?
- Tell us something about the history of these ANTs. When where they first discovered? How did they become common drugs?
- The diagram is great. However, you have to assume that the reader won't look at it. Therefore, you need to write about the mechanisms of the receptors in prose in much more detail than in the current Mechanism section.
- Could you be more specific?
- Are they metabolized in any common way?
- Done.
- Remove the wikilink to Olney's LEsions in the excitotoxicity section.
- Done.
- Tell us about tolerance/sensitization of the drugs. Teemu08 21:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks for your help! Jolb 19:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Glad to see that you are working on the article. Here's a few more points, particularly addressing your questions about the mechanism section comments:
- For the Mechanism of Action query, you basically need to take the diagram and turn it into words (and expand on it a little). While I understand the section because I have a background in psychopharmacology, the average person probably won't understand what an antagonist is (i.e. what makes them special so that they can bind to these sites). Also, do they have any effect on other receptors (particularly in high doses)? Can they all pass the blood-brain barrier? Also, with usage, does the amount of glutamate/glycine and/or NMDA receptors increase? Also, don't include the references ((A), etc.) to the types of antagonists in the section - the readers will be able to read the titles above each of the types in the picture. Finally, do any of the metabolites have a similar effect?
- I made an attempt. Is that satisfactory? Jolb 15:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
For the meantime, I will put this article on hold. Keep up the good work. Teemu08 22:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Ethanol as an uncompetitive antagonist[edit]
Does anyone know of any references for this? I'd like to know the dosage e.g. mg/kg that is required for ethanol to act as an NMDA antagonist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darobian (talk • contribs) 14:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Dextromethorphan is noncompetitive, not uncompetitive[edit]
I have a 2004 paper from the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (R Pechnick, R Poland) that cites three different studies over a seven year period to this effect. It is definitely relevant as well, seeing as noncompetitive NMDA antagonists specifically block the allosteric control site of the receptor, rather than the active glutamate or glycine sites. I will attempt to complete my bibliography on these references and correct this later this evening. arquin (talk) 13:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Would Hodgkinsine fall under the 'Uncompetitive channel blockers', 'Noncompetitive antagonists', 'Glycine antagonists' or 'Competitive antagonists'? Nagelfar (talk) 05:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Glycine study as a reference - results doubtful[edit]
In the clause about schizophrenia's link to NMDA hypofunction, there is an article used as reference: Lipina, T; Labrie V, Weiner I, Roder J (2005). "Modulators of the glycine site on NMDA receptors, D-serine and ALX 5407, display similar beneficial effects to clozapine in mouse models of schizophrenia". Psychopharmacology 179 (1): 54–67. PMID 15759151. Cite uses deprecated parameter
|coauthors= (help); . That was one of the small studies that eventually led to a multicenter human study that did not show improvement from glycine cite modulation. And anyway the reference covers little of the NMDA-schiz. relation theme, so I propose to put instead link to Bita Moghaddam's "Glutamate Hypothesis of Schizophrenia" (at Schizophrenia Research Forum.) --CopperKettle (talk) 22:34, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Need to add methadone[edit]
One of the isomers of methadone has NMDA receptor antagonism (the other is a mu/kappa agonist), and it is probably contributatory to the analgesic effect in some types of chronic pain. Of course, the mu/kappa agonism are likely the major factor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Uncompetitive / Non-competitive Errors[edit]
If a distintion between uncompetitive and non-competitive needs to be made these chemicals are in the wrong categories.
Memantine - binds to the Mg site therefore would be considered non-competitive by the current standards on the page.
MK-801 - binds to the PCP site therefore would be considered uncompetitive.
18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually, if we are following the reference given Kim et al "Blocking Excitoxicity" (ref 12) then they are both considered uncompetative channel blockers, although they bind to different sites within the channel. Tryptych0 (talk) 20:14, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Magnesium Salicylate[edit]
On the Magnesium Salicylate page it says that is also "an NMDA receptor antagonist very mild in action". Is Magnesium Salicylate an NMDA receptor antagonist? Kildwyke (talk) 17:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Ambiguity in Neurotoxicity section.[edit]
The Neurotoxicity header contains the sentence "Other drugs acting on various neurotransmitter systems known to inhibit NMDA antagonist neurotoxicity include: anticholinergics, diazepam, barbiturates,[22] ethanol,[23] 5-HT2A serotonin agonists,[24] and muscimol.[25]" This sentence contains an ambiguous construction whereby it is unclear from context, to a nonexpert like myself, whether it is "other drugs" or "neurotransmitter systems" that are "known to inhibit NMDA antagonist neurotoxicity." Either reading makes grammatical sense, and I for one don't know whether, for instance, ethanol (no matter how much it might promote plain-vanilla neurotoxicity) does or does not inhibit (specifically) NMDA antagonist neurotoxicity, or whether it does or does not act on neurotransmitter systems that do so. I know absolutely nothing about pharmacology, so no way am I going to touch that sentence myself, but the two available readings are essentially opposite so should be fixed.KASchmidt (talk) 21:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Why is ketamine listed as a non-competative allosteric modulator, rather than an uncompetative channel blocker? It clearly shares its chemical structure with PCP, tiletamine etc, which all bind to the PCP site within the NMDA receptor. The ref given (no 43) is very old - 1985 - and though it refers to ketamine as non-competative, I would suggest that this is due to confusion between "non-competative" and "uncompetative" as mentioned in the discussion below. I find nothing in any of the references given to suggest ketamine is anything but an open channel blocker, binding to the PCP site.
Bunney el al "Schizophrenia and Glutamate: An Update" clearly states this - http://www.acnp.org/g4/GN401000116/Default.htm
Tryptych0 (talk) 20:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- This is a very good question, but I think it should be asked the other way round. As far as I understand it, the allosteric binding site is the so-called "PCP binding site". So if I am not mistaken, most of the compounds (at least all arylcyclohexylamines, but probably even much more than those) that are listed now as uncompetitive channel blockers are actually non-competitive antagonists. --Diogenes2000 (talk) 00:20, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

So, has the tech department had a chance to look into this issue?
Type: Posts; User: MidnightManiac
So, has the tech department had a chance to look into this issue?
Yes, of course. Will do so as soon as possible. :)
I play them from USB. I will try to do some tests over network to check.
Here are some additional observations:
The resume playback (To play from the beginning press OK) failure
Happens on...
While the last firmware fixed many MKV playback problems a few still remains:
If a file has been stopped before finishing playback you will get the option "To play from...
Support page still only has download link for Version 2.21, 2014-07-14....
Well, either that or they don't give it priority... :confused:
Yes, online via the player only.
I didn't even look for it, as I had basically given up the idea of getting proper MKV support.
I went to check the release notes on...
The new firmware upgrade (2.24) finally fixes the poor MKV support, i.e.:
FFWD/RWND at 2-32X
Chapters support
OSD time display
Time search
What Rafal says, sort of... Leave it unplugged for some time (a few hours sounds like an exageration though). Personally my BDP5600 has to be unplugged/switched off from outlet for several minute...
Sounds great, thanks. Those were my main gripes anyway. I'll try it out for myself later today. :)
Yes, it all works perfectly now. Sweet.
The lock-ups and freezes are still there, but...
Really? All of them? If so that would be really great news.
I updated the fw the other day (when a new update was detected) but did not experience anything different.
Thanks, but I would prefer not having to do further processing of MKV files.
Also, if you run the official "Matroska Test Suite", which is designed to give you an idea of the player's...
I doubt it.
Haven't upgraded yet, but - as always - I'm curious to see if the new firmware will fix some of the more annoying problems. The last one did nothing to the freeze issue...
Does anybody know if the new firmware will fix some of the actual problems this player has?
Some freezes can actually be avoided by simply waiting. I've had problems when toggling subtitles - either between different languages or simply on/off.
If you are able to refrain...
I take it you refer to the subtitle toggle -> lock-up issue. I will try to send a sample clip/subtitle as soon as possible.
By the way, how about the other issues causing the same behavior?
Thanks for asking. No, it has not been resolved.
I haven't had time to look for, test and edit/upload specific files, but the device keep freezing and locking up.
I made a list of what seems...
I've really never bothered with anything but SubRip text format. The other formats you mention are text based as well, I suppose?
All the Philips players I've owned have supported image-based subs...
Yes, issue is permanent and affects both my devices. Also NOT limited to MKV - same thing happens to AVI containers.
As mentioned previously also not limitied to plain text subs, but also affects...
I agree totally. The number of apps on this device leaves a lot to be desired.
Last night I counted close to 200 apps on my Sony TV. Go figure.
Overall I would say the start-up freezes have greatly improved/virtually disappeared with the last two firmwares, which is great.
BUT external subtitle support seems to have disappeared too! The...
I had time to do some tests last night: Same issue on both devices.
When toggling external (.srt) subs (SUB buttonon remote control) device freezes.
Serial numbers are: KX 1A1 30 99 66 037...
I now realize why I was able to post, and why everything was deleted...
I managed to post prior to 17 Oct. (other members too), but the posts were deleted.
Nevermind. I hope the forum works now. :)

Two Killed, Others Hurt In Omaha Plant Explosion
Update at 9:02 p.m. EST. All Workers Account For:
In a press conference Monday evening Omaha Police Lt. Darci Tierney said all of the 38 workers in the building have been accounted for. Officials say two died, 10 were hospitalized and seven others were hurt but refused treatment. The remaining 19 workers escaped.
Interim Fire Chief Bernard Kanger said that one body had been recovered but did not identify the person because the family has yet to be notified.
Harsh weather forced crews to suspend recovery efforts and Kanger said they planned to re-enter the building on Tuesday to recover the second body from the collapsed structure.
Update at 6:02 p.m. EST Two Confirmed Dead:
The Omaha World-Herald reports that two people have been confirmed dead in the plant explosion that took place on Monday. Ten others were taken to area hospitals, four in critical condition.
The paper also reports that at a press conference this afternoon Interim Omaha Fire Chief Bernie Kanger said additional workers remained trapped inside.
Our original post continues below:
Fire officials say people have died in an explosion at an animal feed processing plant near Omaha, Neb., but won't yet say how many.
The Associated Press quotes Kanger as saying crews have stopped rescue efforts and would start a slow recovery process to retrieve victims.
Thirty-eight people were believed to be inside the International Nutrition plant when the explosion took place at about 11 a.m. ET on Monday. Ten injured were taken to area hospitals, four of them in critical condition, the AP says.
The cause of the explosion is unclear. It's also unclear how many people who were inside may have reached safety.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that "as many as 15 people are thought to be injured or trapped" in the plant.
The AP reports:
"Sarah White said she was at home with her four children when she got a call from her husband right after the explosion.
" 'I could hear the panic in his voice,' she said. 'But he said he was OK.' She said he'd been watching trucks unload from outside the building when the blast occurred."
" 'That's where he works every day. That could have been him,' White said, referring to the injured workers."
We'll update this post as more information becomes available.
