High speed rail board chooses San Jose route

It looks like San Jose will be on the main line of the 200-mile-per-hour electric train service that would connect San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The board of directors of the California High Speed Rail Authority voted Wednesday to choose the proposed route that goes through San Jose's Diridon Station. The San Jose route uses the Pacheco Pass to connect to the Central Valley and ultimately Los Angeles. The trip from San Jose to Los Angeles would take about 2-1/2 hours.

The Pacheco Pass route was the original path suggested by the Rail Authority's staff. But some environmentalists and State Senate Pro Tem Don Perata, D-Oakland, preferred an alternative route through the Altamont Pass, saying it would serve more communities in the burgeoning East Bay area and would be less destructive of pristine land in the Diablo Mountain range.


Full Battle Mode

Across the Las Vegas Strip, the digital-services manager is watching his future competition work the dirt. His iconic casino and getaway was built for $12 million in 1962 by the inventor of the dice and card game Yahtzee.

Soon, it will be facing off against CityCenter, a $7 billion hotel, casino, mall and condo development spearheaded by MGM Mirage, the town's second biggest resort operator. Already, 10,000 cubic yards of concrete have been poured and framing of the first 12 floors of its 4,000-room gaming resort is under way.

Sparks's job is to figure out how Planet Hollywood can use technology to help it compete effectively for affluent customers against stiff, newer and flashier rivals.

So far, he's made sure visitors have ubiquitous and reliable wireless Internet access.


BT Tradespace spruces up its search

BT Tradespace, the service designed to help small businesses set up an online presence, is to make it easier for its users to sell directly to the consumer.

The free service, which launched in April, is already linked to the online payment service PayPal but its upcoming evolution will make the search capabilities on the site more powerful.

Ivan Croxford, head of BT Tradespace, admitted that due to not advertising to consumers yet, BT Tradespace has experienced "relatively low" traffic to the site's 28,000 business user profiles. However, he added, BT will start to advertise the service to consumers within the next couple of months.

Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business, said greater integration between BT Tradespace and BT's more traditional online and paper-based directory services will occur in the near future.

FULL TIME: Wanderers 1 Blackburn Rovers 2

I cannot fault a single player for effort.It`s a shame we couldn`t scrape a 1-1 draw. Unfortunately, we are a poor quality side and that is purely down to a patehetic lack of investment on players. Graham Souness stated on Sky before the game that `Blackburn would win because on paper they have the better players`.Gartside and our benefactor should be ashamed of themselves. After 7 years in the premiership the Wanderers have begged, stole and borrowed players and relied on the `Allardyce`factor to over achieve.Every season we are the premiership paupers and our benefactor, who guaranteed the initial debt has been hell bent on reducing the debt at the expense of the team.I have a feeling the loyal supporters will still be here next season while Gartside and our benefactor will have disappeared into the sunset with our team playing Championship football.
