Planners make streetcar presentation
Date: November 16, 2012
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
Planning consultants made a presentation on a downtown circulator at a public meeting Thursday.
About 50 people attended the meeting. Much of the attention was on the possibility of a streetcar through downtown Sarasota. A fixed-rail streetcar project would have much more of an economic-development impact than a bus-type trolley system, planners said at the meeting.
"It is a reliable magnet to attract growth and development," Michael Chen, a planner with Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc. Planning and Engineering, said of streetcar networks.
One specific streetcar route through downtown, and the Rosemary District, has the potential to spur $8.9 million in additional ad valorem tax over a 10-year period, according to estimates from Tindale-Oliver.
Funding sources, ranging from state funding to federal grants, are available for building streetcar systems.
Two recent events might impact the availability of such funding—including President Barack Obama's re-election.
"I believe this administration and Congress will continue to fund transit," Chen said.
Hurricane Sandy, meanwhile, has damaged a good portion of the public transportation system throughout the Northeast, which comprises about 30% of public transit nationwide, and necessary repairs could possibly lessen the pot of money available for new projects, Chen said.
The next step in Tindale-Oliver's preliminary study is to make a recommendation to the City Commission about whether the city should further study and pursue a streetcar project downtown.

- I was at the meeting last night and I believe the 8.9 million you mentioned in your article was strickly additional ad valorem tax revenue generated from the Rosemary district's alignment. The 8.9M was a 10 year accumulative figure. I would estimate that this would reflect well over 150 Million in additional private development along that single streetcar corridor. This of course does not take into consideration the additional sales tax revenue or the many additional jobs being created due to the new development.

PLATTSBURGH — Solve Composites LLC is facing fines of up to $69,244 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The company, which manufactures fiberglass-reinforced plastic composite parts for transportation and commercial use, was cited for alleged recurring and new violations of workplace-safety and health standards at its Plattsburgh facility, located at Imperial Industrial Park.
The action came after an inspection of the plant on Feb. 11 by staff from OSHA's Albany office.
The cited conditions include explosion and deflagration hazards due to an inadequately designed, installed and maintained system to collect and dispose of combustible dust generated during the manufacturing process; fire hazards from inadequate ventilation and procedures for the storage and dispensing of flammable liquids; and failure to train workers in the use of fire extinguishers.
Other recurring hazards, according to the news release, include not providing training and a hearing conservation program for workers exposed to high noise levels, workers being overexposed to hazardous chemicals, lack of chemical-hazard communication training and a misused electrical cord.
The proposed fines for the recurring violations amount to $53,074.
"Unfortunately, we found several recurring hazards that expose employees to explosion and fire hazards, hearing loss, hazardous chemicals and electric shock," Kimberly Castillon, OSHA's area director in Albany, said in a press release.
"This employer must take prompt, effective and ongoing action to ensure these hazards are corrected for good. The safety and well-being of its workers depend on it."
Three serious citations, with $16,170 in fines, were issued for not providing annual audiometric testing to workers exposed to high noise levels and not informing workers of excessive noise and noise-level monitoring results, the release said.
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

The cold and snow of winter can be particularly dangerous for older adults. The elderly and those with heart disease are at special risk, according to the American Heart Association.
As people age, their ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature often decreases. Because elderly people seem to be relatively insensitive to moderately cold conditions, they can suffer hypothermia without knowing they're in danger, the Heart Association reports (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4570).
Hypothermia means the body temperature has fallen below normal. It occurs when your body can't produce enough energy to keep the internal body temperature warm enough and the condition can kill. Heart failure causes most deaths in hypothermia, the American Heart Association notes.
The following tips, from your local Home Instead Senior Care® office, will help you safeguard a senior loved one or neighbor.
Fill the cupboard. Help your senior stock the staples and groceries they'll need in the event of a large snowstorm or cold spell.
- Maximize energy. Encourage your senior to make sure they have adequate insulation and to check and clean the fireplace and furnace. Replace furnace filters monthly.
- Minimize drafts. Help your senior fill old socks with sand and use them in drafty windowsills and door jams. Weather-strip around windows and doors. Keep doors closed to unused rooms and close curtains at night.
- Stay toasty. Advise your senior to add an extra blanket to the bed and warm the bed in advance with a hot water bottle. Never use electric blankets. A senior may not be able to operate the controls if the temperature needs to be adjusted in the night.
- Dress warmly. A senior's circulation decreases with age. Encourage your senior to wear an extra sweater or sweatshirt, and sweat pants during the winter.
- Monitor the thermostat. Check with your senior to make sure that they're keeping the thermostat above 65 degrees during the cold weather. Older adults are particularly susceptible to hypothermia, which can develop over a few days and weeks even in the mildly cool indoor temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees.
- Beware of budget problems. Make sure your senior isn't trying to save money by keeping the thermostat down. Many communities have energy assistance programs for low- and fixed-income households.
- Avoid slips. Make sure your senior has made arrangements to have driveways and walkways cleaned. Salt and sand should be available to speed melting.
- Stay in touch. Check on your neighbor or loved one frequently during periods of cold and snowy weather.
- Build a network. You can't always be around to help your elderly loved one. Call on neighbors, family and church members to help. Or contact your local Home Instead Senior Care office.

Approaching a dental problem in horses is the same as for any medical issue. Start with the body as a whole, and then work
to the specific. Treatment, when possible, should address the primary cause.
"It's important that knowledgeable clinicians perform equine oral examinations, make accurate diagnoses and perform appropriate
treatments," says Robert Menzies, BVSc, a resident in dentistry and oral surgery at the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital
at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine.
Armed with preliminary information from the client, as soon as you see the horse, you can begin to take its condition into
account, such as how the horse is moving and its character and temperament.
"A horse always gets a physical exam before it gets an oral exam," says Robert Gregory, DVM, owner of Seattle Equine Dentistry,
"since about 4 percent of horses I see have some sort of general physical problem that excludes them from a dental exam or
treatment that day."
Overview of a thorough exam
Gregory says the oral examination should be consistent—the same procedure every time.

A science instrument known as the Near-InfraRed Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) is packaged with the guide camera (FGS), but is functionally independent. The NIRISS will be capable of wide-field grism spectroscopy with R~150 between 1.0 – 2.5 microns; single-object grism spectroscopy with R~700 between 0.6 – 3.0 microns; aperture-masking interferometry with a non-redundant mask (NRM) between 3.8 - 4.8 µm; and broad-band imaging across its 2.2' x 2.2' field between 1.0 - 5.0 µm. NIRISS is expected to contribute to all of the JWST Science Themes: 1) The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and Reionization; 2) The Assembly of Galaxies; 3) The Birth of Stars and Protoplanetary Systems; and 4) Planetary Systems and the Origin of Life.
The Canadian Space Agency is providing the NIRISS to the JWST Project. The prime contractor is Com Dev. The Principal Investigator for the NIRISS is René Doyon from the Université de Montréal.

Gary Sconce, 56, has been an award-winning science and multi-media teacher at Yosemite High School for more than 20 years, but when he returns to campus on April 22 after spring break, he will be totally transformed from Gary Sconce to Karen Scot.
Scot, her new preferred name, has taught college level courses at Yosemite, says she has known from an early age about her gender preference but had not acted on it because of a medical disorder called gender dysphoria, described by psychologists as people who experience extensive discontent with their original gender assignment.
"I was always transgender from my very first memories as a tiny child," Scot said in an exclusive interview with the Star. "I am just now finally becoming completely authentic as a person. I will still deeply care about my students, will plan great lessons, run a conservative and disciplined class, and will continue to be involved in the school community ... adding to the legacy of academic and athletic excellence that embodies our great tradition at Yosemite High School."
Yosemite Unified School District said in a prepared statement that the school will remain focused on educating future generations of the communities youth.
"The Yosemite Unified School District is dedicated to educating the youth while ensuring that our schools operate within the law that afford equal employment and educational opportunities," said the statement. "Gender identity and gender expression are protected under the law. This includes transsexual, transgender, and intersex persons, and others whose gender identity or expression is, or perceived to be, different from their birth-identified sex. YUSD is committed to upholding the dignity and worth of all students and staff, and is committed to protecting the rights of all members of our school community."
Scot said it wasn't until last April, after discussing the matter with her psychologist, that she made the decision to embrace the true nature of how she felt.
Due to her dysphoria and fear of societal backlash, Scot said she tried everything in her power to convince herself of her masculinity, including engaging in hypermasculinity. Scot played college football, joined the military, became a sheriff's deputy and learned to teach martial arts all in an effort to cope with her gender identity disorder. According to Scot, none of these changed her inner-self.
"It was all part of my subconscious trying to prove to myself I was not really the girl I was inside," Scot said.
Since her decision last April, Scot who has undergone significant counseling as well as estrogen hormone treatment, said the decision was a wonderfully tremendous relief and has allowed her to embrace her true feelings.
Scot will continue to teach at Yosemite, making it clear that she will remain the same award-winning teacher she always has been in hopes that parents, students and her colleagues can understand her situation and support her during, and following, this difficult period.
"There are a lot of people that will disagree and think I made a choice but I didn't ... It's not a choice," Scot said.
"All transgenders' want is the same thing any human being wants," Scot said. "We want to be part of the community and be treated like anyone else. Nothing special, nothing worse, because we care about other people and we do have feelings too."
Scot said she just wants her students to understand that some people are different and her being different is no threat to them.
"I just want them to treat me like any other women at the high school," Scot said. "The package is the same, the wrapping paper is different."
Scot is a multiple Who's Who in America's Schools teacher, being awarded that accolade more than 10 times. She has been awarded the Eastman Kodak Award for Excellence in Teaching, and is a California Distinguished Educator. She has been teacher of the month on several occasions, and has educated more than 5,000 students.
Over her 30-year educational career, she has coached and trained California State Champions in Science Fair, Science Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind, with her OM team taking fifth place in world competition defeating Russia. She has received honors for excellence in teaching science students by the Department of Energy/Cray Research Foundation. Scot's Native American Science team took fifth place in the All Tribe Western Native Science Championships.
Evidence gathered over the years from different health and psychology departments suggest that people who identify with a different gender than they are originally assigned, do so because of biological causes related to their genetics and makeup of their brains.
Although studies show conflicting information, roughly one in every 100,000 people in the world are transgender.
As far as the school is concerned, California educational code 220 clearly states no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation ... in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance.
According to Scot, Yosemite High School administrators have been appropriately supportive of her transition and she hopes that the students and parents will show similar compassion.
"My goal for the future is to teach my heart out for a few more years and to care about Yosemite students, then maybe do some service after I retire and help people," Scot said.
The main focus Scot wants the public to take from this is that she is still the same person with the same memories, same thoughts and the same ideas.
"I respect the feelings and beliefs of the parents of my students," Scot said. "I am not going to be pushing any social agenda in my class, but will be conducting business as usual, doing my best to share science, computer knowledge, and information about film making to better my student's lives."
Yosemite High School Principal Randy Seals says the school is going to great lengths to ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible for Ms. Scot, YHS students, parents and his faculty, and in no way will tolerate inappropriate behavior.
"We are aware of the sensitive nature of Ms. Scot's transition and its potential impact on our community. This is a unique situation, one that challenges traditional ideas, philosophies, and belief systems for many people. We want to encourage parents and families to sit together to discuss the issues surrounding this situation with their children. It is the parents' right and duty to analyze sensitive issues and instill values and beliefs in their children. We recognize this mindset and wish to support our families," Seals said.
According to Seals, the high school will provide counseling to all students, parents and faculty who feel the need to better understand the current situation and may be struggling to cope with the issue.
"Yosemite High School is a tremendous school with amazing people at its core," Seals said. "As is always the case, we are looking out for our community's children. We have a variety of counseling services available to our students for any issue, but wish to assist parents just as importantly. We care deeply for our kids, and will continue partnering with our parents and community to offer the highest quality education possible."
A letter, explaining the district's position on the matter, was sent out this week to all parents who have a student attending Yosemite High.
Note: This issue comes 90 days after California implemented the School Success and Opportunity Act (AB 1266) which reinforces existing laws that have mandated a safe and supportive school environment for transgender individuals, including the rights to fully participate in all aspects of school activities.
The bill has been supported by numerous Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Questioning (LGBTQ) organization including the California Teachers Association, the California Federation of Teachers, Parent Teachers, Parent Teachers Associations, the California Association of School Counselors, The National Center for Lesbian Rights, Equality California , Transgender Law Center, and Gender Spectrum.

Comments about Pow Ozone Gloves 2010:
I bought this product based on the assumption that it was for cold weather riding and the thoughts that it was come kind on fleece lined or cozy materials. I received them in the mail to find out they are just like my other pairs of spring clothes, no extra layer and the feeling of the seem lines along the fingers. They are fine for slight cold condition but do nothing in colder weather riding. But this was all just based on the assumption that I was hoping them to be and they were not, otherwise for a general riding they are fine.
Best Uses
Comments about Pow Ozone Gloves 2010:
I just returned from a three hour ride with temps about 40 F. I did the first part of the ride with these gloves inside mittens My hands stayed warm. For the return leg of the ride, I took off the mittens. My hands got colder,but, except for a long downhill section at 25 mph, were comfortable. I never felt a need to put the mittens back on. It was 39 F at my house when I finished the ride.
For me, the temperature range of these gloves is mid 40s to mid 60s. They are a useful part of my winter riding wardrobe.
Comments about Pow Ozone Gloves 2010:
The stated temperature range and the description gave me the impression this was a lightly-insulated winter glove. Instead, it's just a regular bike glove with a little extra silicone printing on the palm and fingers. The "corded nylon" part makes up the majority of the back of the hand and the "neoprene" is only that little patch you see over the first and second knuckles (bit of an odd placement for it). Seems like a nice enough glove, just not what I expected. Fit is similar to Dakine, especially the long and thin fingers.

We're talking New York Mets baseball with Ike, Jeff Reardon and the Duke
Today marks the anniversary of the first clash between New York's crosstown rivals, Ike Davis's birth, and the first (albeit unofficial) no-hitter in Mets history.
. . . does it matter if only 30% come at Cit Field? Couldn't figure out a way to make this a poll - sorry to all you voters out there . . .
Continuing spring training coverage from Port St. Lucie including a whole bunch of infield defense drills featuring Turner at first base, Satin at third and Flores back at short.
Just a shitty MS Paint of some Mets that I feel look similar to famous people (coincidentally both happen to be 70's rockers)...and yes, I know that these comparisons have probably been made before.
I think we can all agree on this one after tonights game (April 19th)

Quick, which image is more hallucinogenic?
This one, snapped by Buzz's colleague Charlie Lewis at the St. Patrick's Day Parade?
Or this one ...... snapped by Buzz at the Home Show?
Being that it's Monday, we'll need another cup of coffee before we figure this out.

Rated 3 out of 5 by caw52 ms This hotel has train tracks beside it . The train runs all night long .The train woke me up every night . Light didn't work on the elevators , so i was never sure if the elevator was on its way or not. I had a melt down at the front desk when the only day I was planing on using the pool and it was closed , but I did walk to your other hotel that was on the beach (from the convention center) and had a great time. April 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by thomdar Jan'12 Saturday night stay Experience was much better than expected. I was in a bit of a bind in terms of finding a place to use my SPG points so I thought I would try this property despite having read some poor reviews in the recent past. When I arrived there were a large number of teenagers about and was a bit worried about noise. I'm pleased to report I heard no noise overnight and I think this is because the suites are set up so that the bedroom is at the back of the room with a separate door separating the bedroom from the sitting room and the main door. The room was clean, decor is good. Bathroom was fine. Towels and linen were also fine. I have no issues to report and would stay here again. January 24, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Towels Amazing stay I love this place. The designs inside the hotel are amazing. The room was spacious and very clean. Pool is nice. Staff are friendly and will make your stay much better in every way they can. Free parking is always a plus. There is a little balcony that can be accessed from the room. The restaurant onsite is great and the staff there are awesome. Thank you for a great stay. Highly recommended. July 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evey Cypress Creek Rocks This was my first stay at Sheraton Cypress Creek. My family and I were pleased from we entered the lobby. It is beautiful. The front desk staff was extremely helpful. The housekeeper went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable. On the third morning of our trip, the rental car wouldnt start. We asked front desk for assistance (yes we did!!!!!! lol) and a gentleman from engineering - I think his name was James came out and and assisted us. I will definitely be back. July 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Macmax Disappointing stay. My wife and I stayed for 1 night 18/01/14 and were quite disappointed. The hotel is undergoing badly needed renovations but our room had not been done yet. The carpets were badly stained, the furniture was chipped and dinged and there was evidence of mould in the bathroom. It also was very noisy with doors slamming throughout the night and trains passing by on a regular bases. On the positive side, the beds were extremely comfortable, the TV's offered many channels and there were numerous restaurants in the area. If you stay there, ask for a room at the back as you may not hear the trains as much. February 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cash21 diamond in the rough I had a long stay in march 2014. I was warned they had a remodel going on. Was great seeing this and enjoying all the improvements.We had some power outs and moves from room to room. The staff could not have been more pleasant, they did every thing they could to please,especially randy the restaurant mgr. ralph front desk Jackie front desk and I know they are in good hands with there new GM Doug, his past speaks for itself. Cant wait to return to see this polished diamond in the rough. Well on there whey!!! April 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by SJUROB Bad first Impression I expected better for the rate I paid and it being a Sheraton property. Room was dusty, TV did not work, missing remote, shower clogged, noisy, to much light comint in with window curtains completely closed, elevators extremely closed and all being used by cleaning staff delaying guest use. I would not stay at this property again, could have gotten much better with rate I paid. April 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JSD2014 This Hotel is BELOW standard First the hotel is being remodeled. You should tell me when I book it and your rate should reflect this inconvenience. Then I was given a handicap room that was not clean. Room service person was completely incompetent. This hotel is directly next door to a major corporate client and even they do not recommend this hotel. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CA2010 Fabulous! Beautiful hotel! I was very pleased with the staff's courtesy. We arrived very early and the hotel was able to accommodate for us earlier than expected. The room was very spacious and clean. It was very nice to have 2 seperate rooms, one for sleeping and the other for eating and relaxing. It was nice to have 2 TVs also. The pool was beautiful and clean. I love the interior of the hotel with the waterfall and the fish and turtles. The housekeeping was great and kept our room clean and freash towels daily during our 5 day stay. I was very impressed with the discount offered if you pre-pay also, it made my whole vacation extremely affordable. I was a little unhappy that you have to pay for wi-fi however the hotel offered computers and a printer at no charge which was very handy when I wanted to print out coupons for attractions I was going to. I was very impressed with the hotel as a whole and I will plan on returning in the future as well as recommending it to others. August 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cclam71 My Review The stay was pleasant. The room fridge was not very cold. The breakfast for the $20 additional dollars was not really worth the extra money. The juices were not cold and there was no ice available. Our children tried to call our cell phone and we were charged for 2 phone calls that had not even 10 seconds of lapse time. A little disappointed this year. April 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Vilhelmina This hotel needs much work! Late information about very extensive renovation. Bad cleaning: Toilette cloughed when arriving. No extra linen for bedsofa when arriving late at night, even though we had booked for two children in the room. The pool area was in terrible condition: Cigarettes, plastic glasses and empty cans in the spa, many leaves and much sand ni the pool, loose pavers and broken sunbeds, loose latter. The poolguy was unsure weather or not it was OK to swim since the pool was leaking, etc, etc. April 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by TBuis Very dirty Our stay at your hotel in Fort Lauderdale was not good at all. There where so many bad things I don't even know where to begin. The room smelled very musty and damp. There was a pair of dirty socks in our closet. The bathtub had hair in it and the toilet was not flushed. The carpet had several stains on it and there was paint peeling off of the wall in the bathroom and the wall in the front room. The room was so damp at night when you where laying in bed the bed sheets felt wet. We went to the front desk and complained and all they said was sorry. We are a rewards member with the Sheridan Hotels but after this stay I don't think we will be staying there anymore. Very poor customer service. January 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Betty41 Customer Service This hotel needs to improve on their customer service skills. We traveled from Massachusetts and the Carolinas. When we arrived at the hotel the room wasn't available or ready at check in which is at 3pm. We had to wait 1/2 before our room was ready. Once we finally got our room we noticed that there was no extra sheets, or pillow for the sofa bed. In the evening I call to the front desk requesting these items as well as extra towels. We had to go dow to the front desk to pick up these items. The following day my swim suit was missing. The good thing the front destk did retrieved the swim suit. February 28, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RollTide13 Very disappointing property We travelled to FL for the BCS Championship. This hotel was well below any other Starwood property I have stayed in. The clerk at Check-in was great, but it went downhill from there. Food service was limited. The bar opened at 3:30 and closed at 11:00. This was a BCS championship and the hotel was sold out! How could you close the bar at 11:00? I can't imagine the revenues you lost. The AC in our room didn't work (538) and this was January. I would hate to stay there in the summer. Finally, our room faced the highway and was next to the train tracks. Sound proof windows need to be installed. January 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MCORSW Saved By Front Desk Staff and Management Manager Sandos did more than expected to resolve the problems we experienced noted below. Front Desk Staff Shantik always peasant and willing to help. The Club manger was great and went above and beyond to help us out. The pool was closed without prior notice to arriving guests. Issues with the pool didn't allow anyone on the deck of the pool area for sunbathing. The pool was on the last day of our stay. No robes, no slippers, and only two hangers in the closet when we arrived in our suite. But the request for additional items was managed quickly by Shantik. The toilet wasn't working properly, and was finally fixed on the second evening of our stay. The printer in the Club Room didn't work during our entire stay (and no one appeared to know how to operate it or why it was not working) and we needed it for business while looking at real estate. The Club coffee machine didn't work the second day we were there for a three day stay, but it did get repaired during our last day. Our suite wasn't cleaned one the first day, I returned after being gone from 11:30am - 4:30pm and the housekeeping hadn't come by. But a phone call to the front desk quickly remedied the situation. May 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 Not So Much Didn't meet our expectations. My wife stood in the check-in line for 10 minutes and when it was her turn they told her the RSV was in my name so I was the only one who chould check in?! So, she had to come out to the front entrance where I was getting the clothes and luggage ready to get me. We couldn't find a cart so we had to make two trips to/from car to take our stuff to our room. Very slow elevators but the stairwells were located outside so we waited and waited for the elevators. Maid service very slow. We had to call and when they did finally clean they did not leave any wash clothes. February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Midmid renovated hotel This hotel while under renovation has many issues. Check in was not pleasant experience. Arrived at 11am and no rooms ready. Left my tel # they said they would call when room was ready but never called. Checked in at 5pm after a long day. No hangers in closet. Made three requests never arrived. Phone in room was not functioning. Although club lounge was not on the Club Floor staff was accommodating and offered free beverage and snack at bar which was very nice touch. Parking lot was very full. April 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ckb92808 Not what I expected from a Sheraton The staff was friendly enough, but the room definitely did not meet my expectations. First, it was missing quite a few things - there was no clock radio, no hair dryer and no "do not disturb" sign for the door (basic necessities for a hotel room). The refrigerator froze everything I put in it and there was no way to adjust the coldness. The maid service was also not that great. Some days they would leave enough towels and other days they would not (we stayed for 6 days). They also left pillows on the floor, which tells me they probably did not vacuum the room (and the carpets reflected this - very dirty looking). I booked this hotel through a package deal and probably would not stay here again. June 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Anne90 This hotel needs improvement A week before our arrival, we were informed that the hotel was undergoing renovations. It was a little too late to find another hotel. Our room was pretty comfortable, but we had to request extra soap and there was no hairdryer in room. They were very responsive to any requests we had. Our room was not made up one day and they gave us two free breakfasts for the inconvience. The other thing I mentioned was the pool area was not clean or attended to. It was not inviting to sit or swim in the pool as it had a lot of debree in it, The chairs and tables were not wiped down,. February 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kitten62 hotel was nice but too noisy This location was too noisy with the train. May 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jfaz Unplesent stay at Sheraton Cypress Creek FL, FL Hotel under remodelation… the construction did influence on bad experience because of the noise and dirt, but the lack of personal for service was impressive since our arrival. Late check in, waited 20 minutes for front desk assistant to show up… nobody was attending!!!, they did not respect my reservation requests, unable to communicate to guest service or front desk from room due to breakdow in phone service, my self and doughters having to go to the loundry for extra towells every day... !!! Besides the construction operators are working without appropriate signs and precautions at a hurry speed with lack of precautions... you should consider add supervising services for guest security... I traveled with family and checked in/out three rooms and we all had the same terrible experience with lousy doors, flush, showers of our rooms and those of neighbors. The facility does not match with Sheraton`s quality and services. Regards, Jerry Faz April 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by joesaphine Satisfaction for my money! Lobby, general decorum, room cleanliness, comfort of bed absolutely 10/10. My first turnoff was the lady at the front desk, that got me towels for the Fitness room with not even a Good mourning or how was your night? I thought I was intruding on her duties and smiling has never been known to hurt anybody!!!!! The Fitness room was too small for such a large hotel. Not enough space to do weights or a little yoga. It needed air fresheners! Internet should be complimentary everywhere. Calling it a Suite w/o even a spoon, knife, fork or plate is not what I expected. I like preparing my meals from the large assortments of groceries I can procure from the stores. What's wrong with eating in? Thanks. February 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by howmanytimescanyoureject Services Excellent check in staff . Excellent room service. Horrible housekeeping. Tub not clean , multiple strands of long hair on bathroom floor , obviously from previous guest brushing hair, tissues in the shape of a flower on top of the tissue container but tissue box empty. Too many other infractions to mention. This housekeeper wins the prize for shortcuts. October 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 Very convenient and comfortable We used points to stay at hotel. We were nervous at first, as we normal stay at full resorts, etc... but this hotel ended up being very comfortable. The rooms were spacious, bed great. Staff was attentive and very polite. Would stay here again. Very convenient. Close to all. Plus, you can't look out at the ocean at night with an ocean view room... January 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Andrea very disappointed pretty place, disapointing stay. Was there for weekend for a conference that required internet access....no access till last day and quality of signal very week. Even more concerning, house keeping, i believe,left my door open after servicing the room, luckily nothing seemed to have been disturbed. I reported this to the front desk, who called housekeeping. Later that day, I again returned to my room, the door was again ajar, and my remaining items in the room were gone...i was checking out that morning and had already taken my suitcase to the car. again i notified front desk, was able to get SOME of my stuff back from the housekeeper. I WAS TOLD THE MANAGER WOULD CALL ME...NO ONE DID. I was not happy. February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Leeo57 Great staff, property needs work. 6 night stay became frustrating with intermittent hot water, and internet service. Standing in ankle deep water (because the tub drain could not keep up with the shower flow) I was greeted with hot water that would fluctuate from cold to luke warm and back again. Internet service was slow to good depending on when you used it. I love that this property has sliding glass doors in each room giving access to Ft. Lauderdale's warm winter evenings. The problem was it would take 2 men and a grown boy to get the deteriorating door closed! Until updated I am done with this location. It's a shame because the staff from the front desk, restaurant, room service and bar staff are all very friendly and helpful. February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by promarv This hotel is excellent for business traveller good service and quality of room. nice atmosphere for business April 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by hope30084 customer service i had several problems but the staff especially the gentlemen who worked 2nd shift on Saturday night. his customer service was stellar he was the one who sent an engineer to check the key pad. i had two have my key re-keyed about 6 times and it was just frustrating going all the way up to the 8th floor and not being able to get in the room. The gentleman Ron who checked me out Sunday morning had no personality and just was not sympathic to the problems or the gentleman who checked me on on Friday night. I've stayed here before and had no problems, these two guys were just rude. September 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GINA217 Beautiful facility, bad location The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are wonderful and comfortable. The staff is exceptional. That said, the location leaves much to be desired. The pool is right beside a very busy street (trucks, emergency vehicles). The pool is lovely, but small. The water temp was perfect. The subway/train was very near, so several times a day the whistle is heard. The worst was the executive airport across the street. (Read: loud private jets) To chill at the hotel/pool all day: this is not the place for you. For a place to stay if you will be busy doing other things all day: perfect. March 2, 2013

By Douglas Moser
---- — METHUEN — The city has been without legal counsel since June 1 because former solicitor Peter McQuillan is still on the payroll, meaning the firm the council already voted to hire cannot take over.
City officials said they cannot take McQuillan off the payroll until they receive a required document certifying when his last day on the city payroll will be and outlining the conditions of his vacation buyout. City Council Chairman Sean Fountain said his office has done everything required of it.
Mayor Stephen Zanni and Fountain are pointing fingers over who is holding up the process.
"The council at this point in time is dysfunctional," Zanni said. "We've bee going back and forth for six months now."
He said McQuillan has not submitted any documentation outlining the day he is to be taken off the payroll and how his buyout will take place.
City Auditor Thomas Kelly said McQuillan is still on the payroll, drawing down his accrued vacation. He said he cannot take McQuillan off the payroll, which would clear the way for the law firm Kopelman and Paige to take over at an hourly rate of $175, until he receives the document.
"Legally, if I just took him off I could find myself in jeopardy," Kelly said.
If McQuillan allows his vacation to continue to draw down on the payroll, he would receive $49,780.69, Kelly said. If he were to take a buyout, he would receive $48,484.49.
At the last council meeting, Fountain told the council he signed off on an agreement allowing McQuillan to take June as vacation, potentially keeping him on the payroll for the entire month.
"I can't get this done until I have an end date," Zanni said.
Fountain provided The Eagle-Tribune an agreement dated May 31 that specifies McQuillan's "attorney-client relationship" with the city of Methuen ended at 4:30 p.m. on May 31.
"Mr. McQuillan's last day was May 31, according to this signed and witnessed agreement," Fountain said in an e-mail to The Eagle-Tribune. "Mr. McQuillan planned on using vacation time before the agreement was signed. I have notified the auditor's office and Mr. McQuillan also notified them, which at that time they would be calculating his buyout of accrued time. Prior to that, Mr. McQuillan requested use of accrued vacation time which he had available to him. The Auditor's office has been notified on multiple occasions of his last date and departure, as well as Mr. McQuillan has been notified to vacate the office and return city property, which he has done.
"This office feels that all due diligence has been done in regards to Mr. McQuillan's departure and notifying the proper departments in the city," Fountain's email states.
But Zanni said the agreement does not satisfy the state requirement and does not name the final date McQuillan is to be on the payroll and from which date a buyout should be calculated.
Councilors also are getting frustrated with the back and forth.
"I think what needs to be done is the two of them need to go into a room, shut the door and work out their differences so we can have legal representation in this city," Councilor Jamie Atkinson said.
Councilor Jeanne Pappalardo tried to call a special meeting for Wednesday to iron out the issue, but the meeting was canceled after a councilor, Ron Marsan, reversed and withdrew his support for a meeting. Special meetings can be called by the chairman or at least three councilors.
She said the agreement with McQuillan should have been voted on by the council, rather than signed by the chairman without consultation.
"He doesn't have the authority to enter into an agreement or contract," she said of Fountain. "This whole thing has been mishandled."
Marsan said a discussion can happen at the council's regular meeting next Monday. Additionally, he said McQuillan's status is not an issue because past employees have left with vacation payments.
"I feel if I called Kopelman and Paige as a city councilor they'd talk to me," he said. "I feel we have representation."
Zanni said he will not transfer $33,000 in funds requested by the council to pay Kopelman and Paige until McQuillan's status is resolved and until a contract with the law firm is written outlining terms, responsibilities and fee schedules.
"We have contracts with all sorts of vendors, for the purchase of paper supplies to auditing," Zanni said. "Why would we not have one with a firm that will be charging $175 per hour?"
After the council voted in January not to reappoint him and after a controversial search process in which he inserted himself, McQuillan stepped down as city solicitor on May 31.
A months-long search for his successor resulted in one of two finalists not winning the support of a majority of the City Council April 1. The other finalist did not receive a vote.
The council voted to start another search for a permanent replacement, but the job has not been posted. Kopelman and Paige was hired to represent the city in the meantime.

Then I read it and here are a few excerpts from it."President Barack Obama raised anew the issue of cutting entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security as a way out of damaging budget cuts, a White House official said on Sunday, as both sides in Washington tried to limit a fiscal crisis that may soon hit millions of Americans."
THen he goes on to say that he's willing to compromise on the automatic budget cuts, basically, if "we" cut or greatly minimize social security and medicare...
Then the article says that Republicans have long argued that the way to tame budget deficits over the long haul is by slowing the cost of sprwaling social safety net programs......
Then the artitcal goes on to ssay.......
"These include the Social Security retirement program and Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs for the elderly, disabled and poor that are becoming more expensive as a large segment of the U.S. population hits retirement age. "
"Last week, conservative Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said he was open to raising $600 billion in new tax revenue if Democrats accepted significant changes to Medicare and Medicaid as part of a long-term budget deal. "
If you want to read the entire article, go here
But is he or anyone really serious about cutting Social Security, Disability, Medicare, Medicaid???? What will that do to millions of us? Yes, I understand that more people than ever are on disabilty and a lot on retirement, etc., but maybe had govenment knew how to budget their money, we wouldn't be in this situation!! Maybe if they didn't see Social Security as a budget they can dip into whenever they need money for something else, we could afford the retirement, disability, medicare, medicaid expenses! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! It just ticks me off; but it's also scary, you know? Yes, I'm sure you know! My gut says that they would never actually make those kind of cuts because there would be too much protest, but who knows. I just can't see it being completely cut because if they did do that, there'd be one HUGE problem on thier hands of the repercussions of such stupidity!!
Oh, so that's my "2-cents" worth, what's yours?
Yeah, I don't know how they can even consiider such a cut! I mean, not just those of us on disability, but what about elderly people who are living on social security and nothing else? What are they going to do? Crime will increase, homelessness will increase, did i say crime will increase? Folks won't be able to pay for meds, therefore will either end up in hospitals, on the streets, suicide...you name it. It will be a HUGE epidemic of which could have been avoided if government actually does such a DUMB AZZ thing!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I know that you are creating the petition using a different website, but i was looking at the other one i suggested and it gives a lot of ideas from what's the best way to title it, to what and how much of letter to write, to how to promote it..it gave a lot of good ideas. The one you are using may do the same thing, so if so, disregard...but if you want to have a look at it, the website is www.change.org
On that note, have a great day! lol
I have two ideas. Instead of cutting SS Disability, I think they should do rechecks every few years. Have those who are on Disability be checked to see if they are still Disabled. There are ppl who get on disability who really aren't disabled. So rechecks would weed out those ppl.
For some reason after I had been on disability for 5 yrs, they did a recheck on me. I saw one of their shrinks. I got a letter a few weeks later saying that SS Disability made a mistake and I wasn't supposed to be rechecked. Their recheck policy was not a big deal to me, so I think its a good idea.
I have another idea that may help budget cuts and save a huge chunk of money. Obama wants to make illegal aliens legal. Just like that. I believe he is doing it because he wants immigrants on his side, even if they are illegal. Also I believe he is doing this because the illegal aliens are working but not paying taxes (because they are illegal). The thing is, his plan will not work because why would illegal aliens want the government to know they are here, and why would they want to pay taxes??? The illegal aliens are getting benefits, such as food stamps and government care by using false information and false I.D. So what really needs to happen is to send the illegals back to their country. They are breaking the law and should there for be punished just as anyone else would. Also the companies that are hiring illegal aliens should be fined, a HUGE fine. There is already a law against companies hiring illegals but its not stopping the companies, only charging them a HUGE fine or even jail time will perhaps stop these companies from breaking the law.
and thats my 4 cents worth. lol
p.s. I do not see how cutting costs on these VERY important things will help budget costs. Things such as SS, Disability, Medicare, and Medicaid. It will only hurt them in the long run. The country will end up in the gutter. Half of the country will be poor, with out any medical and with out any where to go for help.
We should all just move to Canada.
Don't get me started on taxes. They tax our pay checks, our SS Disability, our food, our checking and saving accounts, if you happen to win money, we are friggin taxed to death. If your lucky enough to get money back when filing taxes, they tax that money the following year. TAX TAX TAX. They are killing this country with tax.
Sorry, anything that has to do with the government pisses me off.
Sorry Debbie honey, but anything do to with the government pisses me off to no end, so I tend to rattle on.
The reason I hesitate right now to start another petition is that so far we can't verify through any reliable source that the gov is actually considering cutting social security. Once we can do that, I'll be more than happy to take a stand and start another petition. Oh and Cookie, things have changed where disability is concerned. I don't know about anyone else, but ever since I was approved, each and every January I get a letter from the government wanting to know what meds I'm on, if I've sought treatment this year and if so when and where, and a bunch of other questions. It's a pain in the but to fill out, but a small price to pay for my monthly checks.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Baldwin High School students in the Teens Against Tobacco Use (T.A.T.U.) organization held their first awareness workshop Thursday to teach nearly 70 peers about the effects of tobacco use in hopes to influence their generation to live a tobacco-free lifestyle.
The American Lung Association trained Latonya Hooks, a Georgia College intern, to work with the nine high school T.A.T.U. members on the health hazards of tobacco use. T.A.T.U. members in turn teach prevention lessons to peers and elementary and middle school aged youth.

BROWNSBURG — In a game the Brownsburg players and fans will remember for a very long time, the Bulldogs seized the outright Hoosier Crossroads Conference title and started 8-0 for the first time since 1994. And they did so in some of the most adverse weather conditions for a football game as rain fell heavily throughout the entirety, making it difficult to accomplish anything field.
But Brownsburg (8-0) made the most of a powerful rushing attack to take control early on and seal a 14-0 victory over visiting Zionsville (6-2).
"This hasn't sunk in yet," Brownsburg coach Brett Comer said. "I am very proud of our kids, the way they played tonight and the way they've played all season by taking it game by game."
The conditions affected every facet of the game, none more than the two signal callers.
Brownsburg quarterback Ian Good handled the ball on every snap and did not turn the ball over once, alertly picking up a couple of loose balls on the ground before Zionsville defenders could settle on top of them.
"It was nasty," Good said smiling with spots of mud on his face. "I was worried about getting the snap every time. Ball security was what we were focused on the entire game."
Brownsburg scored on its second drive of the game after both teams had punted to open the contest. A second Zionsville punt from deep in its own territory gave Brownsburg excellent field position on the Eagles' 35.
Six plays later, Chase Dutra started left and reversed his direction, scoring on a 14-yard run for a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter, Brownsburg put together an 11-play, 63-yard drive, fueled by a 38-yard run by Toks Akinribade that culminated with Good scoring on a sneak for a 14-0 lead.
Brownsburg's defense also deserved a ton of credit as they held Zionsville to 99 yards of offense on the evening.
Jeremy Shupperd helped spearhead a tremendous defensive effort that saw the Bulldogs pack the box with eight and nine defenders. The magnitude of the accomplishments was not lost on the senior defensive back.
"I am just grateful and as a team this all means a heck of a lot," Shupperd said. "We are sitting alone at the mountaintop right before heading into the tournament and it is great."
Brownsburg heads to Fishers next Friday to try and put a great capper on what has already become a memorable season.
"I don't think we will have any problem getting our kids focused," Comer said. "We talked about being one of the best teams in the history of our school. We have a chance to be undefeated, we are going to their place for senior night and I'm sure they will be emotionally charged up and they are a great team. It will be a good game, a great test and a good way to get ready for the tournament."

From OpenwaterpediaAlalakeiki Channel between the islands of Maui and Kahoʻolawe, part of Maui County in Hawaiʻi. It has an area of 23 acres, a diameter of about 0.4 miles (0.6 km), and is located about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Makena State Park and south of Maʻalaea Bay. It is a popular tourist destination for scuba diving, snuba and snorkeling. The islet is a Hawaiʻi State Seabird Sanctuary.
Molokini is considered to be one of the top 10 dive spots in the world. Snorkeling, scuba, and scuba tours depart from Maʻalaea Harbor and Kihei Boat Ramp. Molokini's crescent shape protects divers from waves and the channel's powerful currents. However, experienced scuba divers will also drift dive off the 300 feet (91 m) sheer outer wall, using the channel currents to carry them along. The crater houses a lush reef with excellent visibility as deep as 150 feet (46 m). Molokini is home to about 250 species of fish, many endemic (see Ecology below). The best conditions occur in early morning.[4]
According to Hawaiʻian legend, Molokini was a beautiful woman. She and Pele, the fire goddess, were in love with the same man. The jealous Pele cut her rival in two and transformed her into stone. The woman's head is supposedly Puʻu Olai, the cinder cone by Makena Beach.
During World War II, the United States Navy used Molokini for target practice because its shape is somewhat similar to a battleship.[6] In 1975 and 1984 the US Navy detonated in-place unexploded munitions found within the crater, resulting in the destruction of large areas of coral. This resulted in a public outcry. A thorough search and risky manual removal of unexploded munitions to deep water was carried out by volunteer divers as a result. A 2006 survey found no evidence of unexploded munitions on the islet itself.
Molokini crater is home to approximately 250 to 260 distinct marine species. Most commonly observed among these are the Black Triggerfish, Yellow Tang, Moorish Idol, Parrotfish, Raccoon butterflyfish and Bluefin Trevally. Due to constant exposure to park visitors and the long history as a conservation district, the fish of Molokini are extremely comfortable with the presence of nearby divers. Small Whitetip reef sharks and Moray eels are occasionally seen in the crater.
38 different hard coral species can be found in the waters of Molokini, as can approximately 100 distinct species of algae.
Restrictions on Access and Activities
Molokini islet itself is federally owned and is a state seabird sanctuary. Thus unauthorized landing is prohibited. Permission to land must be obtained both from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife.
Charity Swim
The Wailea Molokini Challenge in 2011 was a charity swim and charity paddle event that benefited Best Buddies Hawaii and Ka Lima O Maui. The 12-mile event raised money and awareness for the diverse population of people with disabilities on Maui.
Karen Gaffney swam from Wailea Beach on Maui, circumnavigated Molokini crater island 6 miles away, and then paddled back. Gaffney was accompanied by Hawaiian channel swimmer and Maui resident Mike Spalding. The benefit paddle/swim circumnavigation of Molokini included stand up, OC-1, OC-2 and traditional outrigger canoe in teen, adult and senior age divisions.

What was your experience with MSU Law?
The greatest asset of the Law College is the sense of community among students. Law school is a challenging professional and personal endeavor, regardless of where you chose to attend. At Michigan State, I found myself excelling in my studies because of the people with whom I was fortunate enough to work alongside on a daily basis. In today's legal market, a friend can make a world of difference and there is no better friend to have than a fellow Spartan.
How did extracurricular activities influence your success?
Strong communication skills and experience are very important to a successful career in litigation. As a notes editor on the Michigan State Law Review and a Competitor on the Michigan State Moot Court & Trial Advocacy Board, I was able to improve upon my communication skills by working with successful practitioners, faculty, and students in representing the Law College. I was also able to gain key insights and litigation experience through my externships with multiple state prosecuting offices. The best way to find out if you really like an area of law is to get out of the classroom and see how it works.
What advice would you offer to those thinking about a career in law?
Undertaking a career in law can create many opportunities and be very rewarding, but it is a path that should be considered carefully beforehand. Seriously consider your personal reasoning for seeking a law degree and your long-term commitment to that reasoning. Before applying to law school, do your homework by investigating the legal career paths to which you aspire through informational internships and interviews. Most importantly, be sure to seriously assess your financial position and consider the financial implications of attending law school.
Is there any additional insight you would like to share?
I owe my career and many of my most valued friendships to my time spent in East Lansing. Michigan State is a place I will always remember because of the great opportunities I was given, the tough challenges I faced, and the incredible people that helped me through the experience.
