Oakley Women Own European Open
Oakley's female skiers owned the podium at the Orage European Freeski Open in Laax, Switzerland, winning both the women's Slopestyle and the women's halfpipe contests.
Saturday's bountiful pageant at the Orage European Freeski Open by Swatch included both men's and women's slopestyle semi-finals and finals. Eleven women and 48 men battled wind, icy conditions, variable light and the rest of the field, as they vied for the top spots. But in the end, it was Sweden's Henrik Harlaut and Canada's Kaya Turski who ended up on top, taking home cash and prizes worthy of such a great open event.
Ladies first. The girls stepped it up in their finals, notably on the guitar box, spinning on and off the feature, as they rocketed towards the halfpipe features. Multiple women threw down 720s, including Aspen's Whitney Wickes. Eva Patscheider lip-slid the guitar box to get things started on her way to third place, while Keri Herman switch 540 and cork 360ed her way to a silver finish. But in the end, it could only be Kaya Turski. Switch on to 270, switch 720 to switch 540 to 540 easily catapulted Kaya straight to the bank, and almost 10 points higher than the next competitor.
Alas, the Orage European Freeski Open by Swatch has come to an end here in beautiful Laax, Switzerland. Under an auspicious sky (read: sun and no wind), the men's and women's halfpipe events came to a close today, as we have crowned one new champion and crowned an old-champion, in a new discipline here. On the men's side, Matt Philippi took it to the international field to take home the W for the good old USA. And on the women's side, it was none other than Virginie Faivre, who won the previous three Euro Open slopestyle competitions, now winning her 4th title in a row – in halfpipe.
As for Sunday's halfpipe comp, it was none other than Oakley's Virginie Faivre, who won the previous three Euro Open slopestyle competitions, now winning her 4th title in a row – in halfpipe. Faivre, who rode with her jacket open (read: pimp steeze), boosted big airs, back-to-back 540s and the 360 to switch alley-oop 540 combo that boosted her score nine points higher than the next woman.
There was no better way to end a great week of events, than with the sun shining and the crowd cheering and the athletes going off. Also, as is tradition, the Banana Bar was constructed to keep onlookers and knocked out athletes refreshed and loose.
As the event almost officially draws to an end, we have to remember that none of this could be possible without Orage, Laax, Swatch, and all the other sponsors. The Orage European Freeski Open by Swatch, a truly international affair, is a wonderful event and hopefully we can crown more Euro Open champs in the future (and see if Virginie can keep her streak alive).

Steve Jobs didn't care for the Siri name but couldn't think of something better
Dag Kittlaus, creator of Siri, recently gave a keynote at Technori Pitch and talked about how much Steve Jobs disliked the name Siri. Only after he couldn't think of a better alternative did he finally succumb to using the name.
Dag insisted the name was great and continued to explain the meaning to Jobs. For those that don't know, Siri actually translates in Norwegian to "beautiful woman who leads you to victory". Kittlaus had previously worked with a woman named Siri when he first learned of the name and the origin. He was particularly fond of the name and even contemplated naming his first daughter Siri. When his first child ended up being a boy, the name didn't quite work out the way he pictured. It did, however, find its way into a product we all know and love today.
Kittlaus had worked with Jobs for about a year before he became sick after Apple decided to purchase Siri.
"...he talked about why Apple was going to win, and we talked about how Siri was doing. And he was very excited about the fact that.. you know, he was very interested in this area in general but, you know, they're patient, they don't jump on anything until they feel they can go after something new and he felt that we cracked it. So that was his attraction.
I ended up very lucky, timing wise. I got to work with him for a year before he got real sick. And he's pretty incredible. The stories are true. All of the stories."
Up until this past October, Kittlaus worked with Apple on Siri in Cupertino. He recently has moved back to Chicago to be a part of other opportunities and be closer to his family. Hit the link below to read more.

I like "beautiful woman who leads you to victory" a lot more than just Siri. Might just refer to it as that from now on.
yea really Siri I dont find it too useful. I tried using it but I just have no use for it. I dont like it connects to a server
Yeah the only "woman" you iNerds can flirt with and feel like a player lol
This coming from the guy that nothing better to do than troll a Apple site.
KidCanada......stick to what Canadians know best....beer, Tim Hortons, Hockey, spelling the word "colour" with the letter U, and that's it.
Those clowns at RIM don't represent your country very well, and neither do you with your stupid toolbag comments.
C'mon dude...that comment wasnt nessesary. Seriously.
First off I hate this toolbag kid from the great white north, second herpis comment is highly offensive and uncalled for ( feel free to delete that comment please) and lastly I too have issue with Siri... Great idea but the server connection just to playy
iPod playlist is crazy.. I live in the woods and have good service at my house and work but the 30 min commute is rough, service fades in and out so I can't use voice command to do anything useful in the car. Which is disappointing because I enjoyed voice operated iPod controls with my iPhone 4 in the past
hmm.... I asked Siri what her name meant, and she said that she can't explain it in my language
AirAssistant? lol too long, but I think the same, siri was just not "magical".
What about RoboTime. Trololol.
No matter what the infallible Steve Jobs decided to name it... it still would suck.
That's surprising to me... I always thought Siri was an abbreviation with the last "I" standing for "intelligence".
Siri - I wouldn't have liked it either if I was Steve. Though Siri is easy to say and has a nice meaning to it
I feel that is among the such a lot significant info for me. And i'm glad reading your article. However should statement on some common things, The website taste is wonderful, the articles is actually nice : D. Excellent job, cheers

The Financial Aid Office encourages everyone to retrieve their tax data if you and your parent(s) have filed your 2011 tax returns prior to completing the FAFSA. Families who do not use the IRS Data Retrieval process may be required to submit an IRS tax return transcript directly from the IRS to complete the federal verification process.

Financial aid is also a partnership between you - the student - and the college that provides money to help pay college costs.

found a good source for stainless-steel Speed Bleeders
Hi everyone,
Many years ago, I installed Speed Bleeders on one of my vehicles. I loved them - they made one-man brake bleeding a snap. However, much to my dismay, they began to rust up after a few years. This is not a big deal for standard bleed screws, but it matters on the Speed Bleeder where the ball valve must remain operational. Eventually I replaced them with standard bleed screws again, since those were at least cheap to replace.
I picked up a 2006 Yukon XL Denali with 90k miles a couple months ago, so I'm new to this crowd. While searching for stainless steel brake hoses, I saw in the search results that Speed Bleeder now has stainless steel versions of their bleed screws! Like many Chevy/GMC vehicles, my truck takes SB1015-SS in front and SB1010-SS in rear. However, the stainless steel bleeders are harder to find. You can order them direct from Speed Bleeder, but they want $15 each plus $5.95 shipping, for a total of $65.95 shipped. That's a bit steep.
I found an Ebay seller who sold some of the stainless versions at a pretty good discount. He didn't carry the SB1010-SS, but I asked him to order and carry them for the Chevy/GMC crowd, and he agreed! He sells the stainless Speed Bleeders for $12 each plus $5 flat shipping, for a total of $53 shipped front and back. That's a good price for one-man bleed screws that will last the life of the vehicle.
His name is Kirby and his Ebay user name is kz10cubed. He caters mostly to the motorcycle crowd, but I'm glad he was willing to help us out. You can see his auctions with this link:
then search for SB1015-SS and SB1010-SS.
I have no connection with him; I just wanted to share my findings with my fellow Chevy/GMC owners.

Good to know. I have used the speed bleeders a few times and they helped out being that I was doing the job alone. I bought them at autozone, I never had an issue with them rusting though, even though I live in Michigan where they use a lot of salt.

Thanks Pikey, that's also a good data point. They are also quite fond of salt here in northeast PA. "Rusted up" is probably not a good way to describe it; it was more like surface pitting that eventually interfered with the operation of the ball valve. I was gun-shy on Speed Bleeders after that experience, but maybe mine came from a bad batch with poor electroplating? In any case, I plan to go with SS for my Yukon just to rule out the possibility of it happening again.
The first time I saw them I was thinking, "Really?, just another gimmick" But, they actually worked. I had a set on for 5 years and they still looked shiny and new. I also cap them to prevent water from getting in them. The only thing I do not like about them is that you can go thru a lot of brake fluid FAST

At the Digital Platforms and the Future of Books symposium in January, Dr. Elizabeth Swanstrom was adamant that collecting is one of many ways to read: this guide will help you read Google Books for texts of rephotography and signs of use rather than (strictly) the printed type. Google calls these "unexpected peculiarities."
This may seem like an intimidating task, but believe me, it doesn't take long to find these kinds of adversaria. I usually dedicate 15 to 20 minutes to the blog per day, and that includes searching, capturing, and writing about two finds. You will find them as soon as you begin to look, no matter what search technique you use.
Use the Google Books Advanced search.
Limit your time frame. You want to look through free, out-of-copyright books. I usually use 1500 to 1930 as end-years (though in light of Golden v. Holder, perhaps 1500 to 1920 would be safer). You can manipulate this however you like: you can search among books published at the turn of the century, books published before 1800, or between 1756 and 1758.
Narrowing your time frame will bring different results to the forefront. Because there are usually thousands of results, trying to sort by date will often result in an avalanche of books from only the first year of your search.
Choose a search term. This can be anything. If you're interested in a certain topic, search for it. If you're interested in "knitting," or "natural history," or "Venn diagrams," you'll be learning about topics you like while hunting for anomalies.
You can always use what's at hand, too. Pluck keywords from among the items on your desk, or revisit the history your home town. Between 1500 and 1930, "staples" has 483,000 hits; "Miami" has 640,000. If you're stuck, it sometimes helps to think of funny words: "blubber" has 118,000 hits; "Beezelbub" has 186,000. Really, really stuck? Pick up what you're reading, open to any page, and pick a random word or phrase. There will be something there you can use, even if it's just "and" or "the."
You can also use words from other languages with which you're familiar: Google Books aims to "include books from all the world's languages and cultures." I've only seen a great variety of texts in English, Spanish, French, German, and Latin (when searching in English).
You can also try made-up words. OCR isn't always accurate in Google Books (see CAPCHA), so there are plenty of nonsense words that result in hits: "ustryi" has 253, "ssdh" has 297.
Likewise, try anachronisms, or terms that had a different context in another time period. Between 1500 and 1930, for example, "George Bush" has 21,600 hits. In the same time period, "wifi" has 38,700.
You can use Boolean search operators to narrow or target your search. If you don't know these already, Google Books has provided a few of them for you as the fields exact phrase ("purple people eaters"), at least one (Paris OR whales OR candy canes) and without (fishing WITHOUT mathematics). Here's a brief guide.
Other search settings? For simplicity's sake, make sure that you select Search: Full view only and Content: Books. This will help ensure that you get full copies of Google-digitized books.
You are probably going to get a lot of hits, even if you make an effort to narrow your search by using dates, exact terms, etc. and you can sift through these in any number of ways.
Browse the bookshelf. Scroll through titles and thumbnails until you see something that interests you. It can be the topic of the book, but sometimes the digital cover of the book will contain the anomalies you're hunting for.
Start from the top. Anomalies occur everywhere. You can work directly from the top of the list of search results to the bottom.
Skip around. Skip to the tenth page of results. The twenty-fifth. Choose only books that are seventh on each page.
Prejudice yourself if you're looking for something particular. Because of the size of bound periodicals (often enormous!), there are usually more photographic anomalies in these texts. They often have thousands of pages, though, and take a while to get through. They often have library stamps and statements, due to their sedentary nature. You'll get more individual pages this way.
Because of the portable nature of novels and other physically small books, there are usually more signs of use in these texts. Library artifacts like circulation slips abound, as do inscriptions, marginalia, and other peritextual artifacts. You'll see more endpapers and more individual books this way.
Check the endpapers and blank pages, the paratext (title page, table of contents, index, etc. &c.), the illustrations, and the body of the text. The thumbnail view () will be very, very helpful.
L-R: Zoom in, zoom out. Single page, spread, thumbnails, fit to browser window. Clipping, link.
My visual reading technique:
1. Front matter.
2. Quickly look over the body of the text as I scroll down to the back matter.
3. Back matter.
4. Slowly look over the body of the text as I scroll up to the front matter.
Rephotography. Here, digitization is photography and often rephotography. A digital photograph is taken of each page and later subjected to OCR. Just as photographers use filters to aesthetically alter their photographs, Google Books uses filters to make OCR less difficult. These manifest themselves in a number of unexpected ways. Often, plates are photographed through protective tissue paper.
They also capture motion and movement of the text, the hands of employees, and the digitization environment.
There are also some logistical problems, like when maps, diagrams, and other illustrations are documented without being folded out (or the instructions to do so are). I did a show featuring these.
Sometimes, there are significant distortions, and I can only hazard a guess as to how they are produced.
Signs of use. The books that Google has digitized are often used: by their first or original owners, by library patrons, or by anyone who interacted with the book between inception and digitization. And people love to make their mark.
Marginalia (writing in the margins) can manifest itself in any number of ways: underlining, a system of checkmarks or Xs, editing of the text, arithmetic, cataloging notes, and even full-blown commentary.
There are many instances of inscription, dedication, marks of ownership, and messages. I like to look up addresses written into digitized books in Google Maps.
There's often all kinds of writing that's been rescinded, scratched out, or not even fully formed (doodles!).
The blank margins, endpapers and protective tissue are inviting as a place to draw. Black-and-white plates are inviting to paint and color.
Library books hold all kinds of library artifacts, from donation plates to circulation slips, from barcodes to card folders, and more.
Libraries are also fond of stamping, and the statements that they make are often contradicted by the book's digitization and digital distribution.
People leave things in books, purposefully and accidentally. You can find paper ephemera of all kinds: prize plates and order forms, letters of donation, plants, and newspaper clippings, among other things.
Used books are exposed to all kinds of hazards that manifest themselves in book images, like fire, water, ink spills, tearing, and home repair.
The long way – better for printing. Choose the "Download PDF" option from the gear dropdown menu (). Use Adobe Acrobat Pro (or your choice of open-access PDF editing software) to pick out the pages you are interested in. Save them separately in a high-resolution image format (PDF, TIFF).
Note that there are often differences between the book you read online and the PDF book you download.
The short way – good for general web use. Compose the image in your browser by using the different viewing options and the zoom tool. Then, take a screencap.
Screencapping on a Mac. This is accomplished with command-shift-four: it will turn your cursor into a crosshair that you can use to photograph your image. It will create and save the file to your desktop as a PNG file titled "Screen shot [date] at [time]".
Screencapping on a PC. Press the Print Screen button (sometime PrtScn). This will cap your entire screen and copy the image to your clipboard. Paste the picture into an image-editing program and use a cropping tool to isolate your image. Save in the image format of your choice.
Metadata. Document where your image came from. The basic format that I use is: From [location] of [title, in Italics, linked to source] by [author] ([year]). If you're really inspired, you can note the institution the book resides in and the date it was digitized.
In order to link precisely to the anomaly you've found, select the page that it is on and click on the symbol. This will generate a link to that page.

Getting kicked around by an employer or landlord?

Seattle Solidarity ("SeaSol") is a volunteer network of working people who believe in standing up for our rights. Our goal is to support our fellow workers' strikes and struggles, build solidarity, and organize to deal with specific job, housing, and other problems caused by the greed of the rich and powerful.Join us! Let's fight to win.
José endured seven months as an underpaid cook at the Bombay Grill in the University District, receiving hourly wages between 81 cents and $4. Adding insult to injury, he faced threats and intimidation from bosses Glen Quadros and Kailash Upadhyay on a regular basis. Because his wages were insufficient for rent anywhere else, José had to sleep on the floor of the filthy restaurant during the heat of summer (which Glen called "room and board").
After seeing a SeaSol sticker at his local laundromat, José decided to stand up against his bosses and fight back using direct action. He called SeaSol and we voted to take on his fight.
On January 4, 2014, a large group of SeaSolers filled the Bombay Grill to support José as he delivered a demand to his former bosses. José and SeaSol demanded payment of the equivalent of one month's stolen wages, which came to $2,261.30. Glen ignored the letter, looking with condescension at the faces surrounding him, as a waitress picked it up and read it aloud. During the two weeks following the demand delivery, Glen and Kailash neglected to pay José the portion of his wages he had demanded. As we knew the Bombay Grill would likely be closing down very soon, there was a degree of urgency in SeaSol's approach to this fight which influenced major decisions we made at meetings.
In the following weeks, SeaSol's campaign against the wage thieves Glen and Kailash escalated from small flyerings and posterings around the restaurant to larger, noisier pickets. Our largest picket was on February 14th; we turned away many Valentine's Day customers with high-energy chants and noisemaking, leaving Glen and Kailash visibly upset at their loss of profits for the night and acting like fools in their parking lot. We turned away the majority of their business during every action, and the bosses slowly began to accept that José and SeaSol were not going away until the demand was met.
Throughout the fight, the bosses at the Bombay Grill gave us the run-around, claiming they wanted to meet up and pay at least once a week and then trying to negotiate paying a lesser amount, creepily trying to get José alone in the restaurant with them, and trying to talk José into "not telling anyone" about the conditions he faced working in their restaurant. On Friday February 21, 2014, the sleazy Glen and Kailash set up a meeting with SeaSol and José yet again, writing a check for the full demand. Immediately afterward, as José went to cash the check, the greedy and stupid bosses walked smirking out of the bank. They had canceled the check, and thought their problems were solved.
At noon the following day, a dozen SeaSolers showed up for a picket of the Bombay Grill's lunch buffet. With this, Glen realized that he and his partner in crime had not outsmarted us, and went to the bank to get José a cashier's check for the full amount of the demand, which José walked away with that same day. Thanks to everyone who participated in this fight! Victory is ours!
It has been over four months since Danica walked into NW Apartments' offices with a crowd of supporters and calmly handed them a letter demanding that they return her stolen money. Since that time hundreds of current and prospective renters have not only heard her story, but also learned about NW Apartments' broader pattern of abuse against other current and former tenants. Most recently, Danica and other members of SeaSol could be found outside of one of NW Apartments' more visible buildings on Capitol Hill, the Casa Del Rey, handing out festive "slumlordwarning.com" balloons and peanut butter "no-slumlord" cookies to tenants and passers by. The popular support was overwhelming and dozens of people took the "Do Not Rent from NW Apartments" pledge bringing the total count up to--who knows how many.
So, how is NW Apartments responding to these sorts of peaceful demonstrations? They are proudly demonstrating their complete lack of professionalism at every opportunity. The property manager at Danica's old building, the Manchester Arms, has been filling up pitchers of water and dumping them on SeaSol members from the safety of his balcony. If only NW Apartments was equally dedicated to keeping water OUT of their tenant's apartments maybe this whole situation could have been avoided! Needless to say, the posters continued to go up despite his immature antics (incidentally, dumping water on people is considered assault, and is an arrestable offense) and other tenants leaned out their windows to express their support for us and apologize on behalf of their property manager. More concerning are the violent threats from an employee at another NW Apartments building, the Tuscany. Here a NW Properties employee saw a SeaSol member putting up posters and threatened that he would "fuck them up" if he catches them again.
We will not be intimidated by NW Apartments. While we do not enjoy being threatened and attacked, it does make it clearer than ever to us as well as to those we are trying to reach just what kind of company we're dealing with. We will continue to do everything within our power to spread the word about NW Apartments' dubious business practices and thuggish behavior until they agree to do right by Danica.
A few weeks ago a group of tenants contacted SeaSol because they were fed up with the unsanitary conditions and unresponsive management at Sterling Manor, an apartment complex in North Seattle. For months the tenants had reported problems including extensive mold, leaks, broken or missing appliances, and signs of bedbugs. Property managers ignored them, doing nothing to fix the most serious issues. The mold was the worst problem. Several tenants and their children were chronically sick, and some of their belongings were ruined. One of the tenants remembered that SeaSol had previously supported a relative in a fight against an abusive landlord, and thought that we could help get much-needed repairs and cleaning done at Sterling Manor.
The tenants started meeting with SeaSol, and went door to door in their apartment building to gather the support of their neighbors. Together, we wrote a demand letter addressed to Cornell & Associates, the company that manages Sterling Manor, giving them two weeks to hire a professional mold remediation company. More than half of the residents of the building signed on in support of the newly formed Sterling Manor Tenants' Committee. The demand delivery went down on Thursday, August 22. Two dozen SeaSol supporters accompanied members of the Tenants Committee, occupying the offices of Cornell & Associates to hand-deliver the letter to property manager Susana Manio in front of her bosses.
Cornell & Associates reacted immediately, notifying all the Sterling Manor tenants that they would be performing a "routine" inspection of their units. Long-time tenants in the building say this is the first time the managers had ever done this kind of inspection. Though property manager Susana acknowledged extensive mold and other issues in several units, she made no concrete plans to address the worst problems, much less to hire a professional mold remediation service.
Then Cornell & Associates attacked. Two tenants who had signed the demand letter with the Sterling Manor Tenants' Committee and SeaSol received 10-Day "Comply or Vacate" notices for long-standing issues that the managers had previously ignored. One tenant on a fixed income was hit with a $600 bill for unpaid water bills that management had previously said she didn't have to pay due to protracted repairs to her apartment. (Tenants report a suspicious pattern of high water bills, leaks, flooding, and mold throughout the building.) Another tenant, from whom Susana has been accepting rent for months, was told to vacate because her name is not on the apartment lease, which was signed by a relative who has since had to leave the country.
Needless to say, it is clear that Cornell & Associates' intent is to use any pretext to evict as many organized tenants as possible while intimidating those who remain. This kind of retaliation is illegal under state law, and neither the Sterling Manor Tenants' Association or SeaSol will stand for it. Our fight is just getting started, and we'll keep it up until the retaliation stops and tenants at Sterling Manor get the respect and healthy living conditions they deserve.
New SeaSol member Antonio worked at a grocery store in White Center for two grueling years. Working regular 6-day, 72-hour weeks, Antonio received no breaks, no overtime pay, and was irregularly compensated at less than $7 per hour (far below Washington State's minimum wage). When he learned of our win at Jumbo Buffet, Antonio got in touch with the Seattle Solidarity Network. After much discussion and research, SeaSol and Antonio voted to fight for 30 weeks of back wages, or $6,710, for Antonio.
On Saturday July 27th 2013, Antonio, his family, and over forty SeaSolers filed into the store to deliver our demand. The atmosphere was tense as the boss read the letter, shaking, and looking around at the stern faces glaring in solidarity with Antonio. The boss was so intimidated by our direct action that he immediately contacted a lawyer friend for help. His lawyer called us the following Monday with weak - and quickly shut down - attempts at bargaining.
On Thursday August 8th 2013, the thieving boss and his lawyer friend met up with Antonio, his daughter, and other SeaSol members. More attempts to bully Antonio into accepting less money were rejected, and Antonio was paid $6,710 on the spot.
The unwavering position presented by SeaSol and Antonio throughout this fight, our refusal to play legal games with a lawyer, and flawlessly carried out direct action quickly resulted in a swift win in this fight. Congratulations to our new comrade Antonio, and thanks to all who showed up to the demand delivery!

Brian Krebs has located and published a sales pitch from a hacker who has found a zero-day exploit allowing him to steal cookies from Yahoo webmail users, granting access to their accounts.
"I'm selling Yahoo stored xss that steal Yahoo emails cookies and works on ALL browsers," wrote the vendor of this exploit, using the hacker handle 'TheHell.' "And you don't need to bypass IE or Chrome xss filter as it do that itself because it's stored xss. Prices around for such exploit is $1,100 – $1,500, while I offer it here for $700. Will sell only to trusted people cuz I don't want it to be patched soon!"
Yahoo Email-Stealing Exploit Fetches $700 Discuss
12 Responses to "Hacker's ad for a Yahoo email-stealing exploit, up for sale at $700"
Buddy Bradley says:
I'm guessing this only works if the victim is dumb enough to click on a link in a spammy-looking email, right?
Glippiglop says:
Yes. This is the sort of trick that you would use in a phishing expedition, whereby the attacker might only expect 1% of the 1,000,000 people he emailed to click on the link. A career criminal could easily turn a profit from the initial investment.
It's a good trick to employ as the attacker does not need to forge the login page of the affected site; in fact the browser will likely log the user straight into the account if a cookie is active from a previous session. This can be observed in the video.
invictus says:
You're guessing incorrectly. Stored xss can execute on load, with no input from the user. It all depends on where in served page the script is being injected.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting#Persistent for a brief explanation.

it will be patched up as soon as yahoo puts together $700.

True or false: Financial planner, financial consultant, investment adviser, stock broker -- these are all titles for people who provide essentially the same types of services, right? Well, true. So there's no need to concern yourself about how they differ from one another, right? False.
Actually, there's a wide chasm between brokers and investment advisers, though you can hardly tell if you just go by their titles. Brokers who recast themselves as financial consultants are under pressure to sell securities (the top producers are in big demand), while advisers are obligated by law to serve your best interests. Of course, not all brokers are ruthless, nor are all investment advisers ethical. Any financial professional can break the rules and do a disservice to the consumer.
Finding the right financial planner takes a little detective work and interviews with several advisers.
The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards allows you to search for CFP certificants on its Web site while The American College's Web site lets you search its alumni list for financial or insurance advisers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 387 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sleighto Amazing location and staff! As soon as we walked in the door, everyone was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I asked if there was a room with a view of the City and was given one on the tenth floor looking directly at the Empire State Building. We watched the red holiday lights turn on at the same time the full moon came up over Canal Street. Beautiful! The concierge gave us great suggestions for shopping and dining and were not only incredibly knowledgeable but fun. A great hotel staffed by the best of the Starwood chain! December 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by adams4 Loved my stay here. We stayed here 8/9-8/10 of 2012. We were in NY for my daughters birthday. I asked if they could give us a room on the highest possible floor (I offered to pay extra,), they went out of their way to find us a room on a high floor with a great view. When we went to check in, that room wasn't ready yet, so they found us a not as great view , but comped us the club lounge. I will stay here every time I travel to NYC in the future. Thank you so much for helping to make my daughters birthday special. August 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cannotrecommend It was "okay" The personnel were great. Everyone was friendly and wanted to provide service. I have noting but good things to say about the service and staff. Here is what I did not like at all. The food and dining. The breakfast was extremely average and the ONLY place to get dinner was sitting at a couch with a very small bar table eating food that tasted and appeared to be precooked, microwaved food. Yuck and at a high price. Could not even sit at a dining table. Sad. To be specific about the dinner I had two meals there. The salmon was dry as toast with absolutely no flavor, and the pasta was store bought with a jar sauce and a few slivers of squash thrown in. The chef needs to go and they need to open the dining room for meals. I do NOT want to eat precooked food on a couch with a small bar table for dinner. September 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by IIRE Good overall, nothing special but the view The hotel felt expensive and a bit run down, plus cleanliness could be better for a reportedly 5 star hotel. The club lounge felt small and the food seemed to run out in the first two days of our stay. The weekday attendant did not seem concerned. I was assured that internet access in the room is complimentary and then I got charged for it, some days twice. I am still trying to get it off the bill. The views from our room was great. The maids were friendly and helpful. December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rondad33 Couldn't be better This was our first time at this hotel. We know New York well and wanted to stay in the area of Canal Street. The location was superb. Room was just the right size, and the bathroom also was sized correctly, with an excellent shower. Staff was accomodating, friendly, and extremely helpful. Although we had internet access in the room, the computer "pod" in the lobby was an excellent idea. Overall we are very pleased with this hotel and will definitely stay again. Highly recommended. June 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jack2000 An excellent option to enjoy Manhattan The hotel is modern, staff are courteous and efficient, rooms are clean and great. The Canal St area may not be the ideal place to be with children, but for business travellers or adults is an excellent option. Its location is very good, close to the Soho and to the subway, although do not expect fancy shops or services in Canal St. I would highly recommend the hotel for everyone. February 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kathies Nice hotel, but gym not well stocked I wrote about 6 months ago that i like the hotel, but there are hardly any free weights in the gym. I assume that they get stolen, but the hotel should buy new. I visit New York 2-3 times a year and usually stay here. Well 6 months later nothing has happened except that there are even fewer weights than during my last stay. This is really a big deal for me and I will have to stay somewhere else next time as the management have not taken any action on this problem. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stosh Excellent Staff We arrived in NY after a very long day and we were exhausted. We were met by an entire staff of people who acted like they were waiting for us! From the valet to the front desk and beyond we really felt like we were their only guests, and they were sold out. There are plenty of places you can find a nice clean room in NYC but the Starwood hotels service takes it from a night in a hotel to a memorable experience. Kudos to KInga and the young man who checked us in!! October 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Parkingissue Few glitches in our stay We did not have turn down service our second night, so we had no towels to take a shower in the evening. Second, when I called to find out about parking they told me $55 a night which was fine. When we arrived they told us $65 a night for an oversized vehcile...ok...., however when we checked out we were then told $75 a night!! Unacceptable, at that rate I never would have parked. We called for a manager and had it changed to $65 a night. Received no apologies! August 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kozy1 Overall A Pleasant Stay This hotel is well- appointed and well maintained, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. I received all the Gold perks including upgrade, internet and late checkout. Being able to print from internet computers in the lobby for free was a nice perk as well. The hotel is located close to two different subway lines, making it easy to get Uptown for shopping and shows. They could have better stocked the room with more towels and bottled water, foam pillows, shower gel and a hotel services directory, all of which had to be requested from Guest Services and sometimes more than once. The three elevators are small and perhaps inadequate for a hotel spread over 22 floors as it would often take 5 minutes to get up or down to your room. All and all, I'd stay here again, especially on a great Starpick rate like this time. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by gabi60 great hotel I stayed at the hotel during hurricane Sany. The hotel had a generator. When electricity whet off they had elevators, water, and light. The staff was helpful and gave an insuring atmosphere which helped a lot. They helped us move to another hotel and found us transportation when there were no cabs. The hotel has a nice lobby to sit, an area with many computers and free Wi-Fi. The room is big, clean, the bed is very comfortable. I would defiantly come again November 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Razzou Highly Sensible Choice for NY City Stays The excellent comfort in-bed and in-room is coupled with attentive and efficiently helpful staff. The Club level upgrade got me a breakfast with a good selection in the morning, the extra beverages I wanted for later and a nice view from the terrace – worth it. Was afraid the location may be a hindrance; it's not – midtown is within easy reach and the hotel's neighborhoods are enticing enough. Extended my stay rather than shifting up-town on Monday. December 29, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by HotelQualityChecker Against my better judgement I stayed here again and gave it a try... Mistake!! Against my better judgement I stayed at this hotel again on the assurance that the service would be improved. Mistake!! It was worse. I stayed here for almost 3 weeks on business and I had to complain, call downstairs on an almost dialy basis to rectify issues. I'm sure it sin't so bad if you're only staying a handful of nights, but when the same issues reappear almost daily / every few days and never improve. Well, you know it has poor management. March 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Medearedux Great location! The location is fabulous - close to 2 subway lines, Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown. Th Starbucks in the lobby was great, as was the Starbucks provided in the rooms. The room was large and kept very clean, and the bed linens were extremely comfortable. The concierge was knowledgable, friendly, and very helpful. Would have liked to see the lounge, but didn't want to pay $75 extra! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone! August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CasaJB Quite a Surprise located on Canal Street Although we live across the Hudson, my husband and myself decided to spend a night in part of NY city that we were not familiar with during the holidays. We were pleasantly surprised when we stepped in from the hustle & bustle of Canal Street into the Tribeca Sheraton. It was everything we expect from a 5-star Sheraton. We loved the location - easy walks to Tribeca, Chinatown and Little Italy. It was an oasis from our city explorations. December 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dudley Convenient Location Next door to Tribeca, SoHo and Chinatown; a convenient subway ride to Midtown. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel was full, but staff worked hard to check us in as quickly as possible. Room was smaller than expected, not as accomodating as previous stays. No mention of Club level, even though we are Starwood Gold Elite and made reservations four months prior to arrival. Carpet in 12th floor hallway stained and in neeed of attention. June 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rajit Not what I've come to expect from a Starwood Hotel The room was a little cramped and if you're expecting to be able to sit at the desk and get any work done then its going to be tough. There is lack of a minibar or any amenities besides one cup of coffee/tea in the room. On check-in I had to stand around 15 minutes at the SPG Gold/Platinum counter to get the front desk staff to serve me. On departing I asked the front desk staff to arrange a taxi to the airport. Several black cars are always parked outside the hotel. She booked a car for me and on my asking told me the total charges of $85 need to be paid to the driver. I had already mentioned that I intend to pay by credit card. When I reach the airport the driver asks for $98. I was in a hurry and didn't want to argue so I paid and left but I would advise fellow travelers to have the conversation of these charges with the driver before heading out. May 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SAN1K Fine Hotel in Tribeca I had a fine stay here. As a platinum I got a nice room on a high floor with great views uptown (the XX18 and XX19 rooms have the best windows and views). The club lounge had an excellent breakfast spread including hot items (eggs, bacon, potatoes) and very good croissants and coffee. It also has a terrace that would be very nice in warmer weather. The rooms here are small but fine for 1-2 people per room. It's New York after all. November 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by winey1 Great stay! I only was here 1 night as I do live in NYC but my apartment was unavailable. I got a last minute pre-paid rate that was great. I usually stay at SPG luxury collection hotels but I'll have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The room was clean and the bed was VERY comfortable. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but what I did was courtesy and welcoming. I definitely will stay here again when my apartment is unavailable! July 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by PSquared Great hotel for the price and location If you are planning to stay downtown, the location of this hotel is perfect. Close to numerous train lines and an easy walk to Soho. Would definitely stay here again. Loved the free internet in the lobby (although free in the room would have been even better). The only complain I have is about the minimum amount of storage for clothes. Three small shelves were no enough for two people for four days. December 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by LJMJR Valet Parking a Joke!!! I used the valet service for my vehicle at this hotel. Before checking out I called the ticket in from my room and, after waiting on hold for 15 minutes, was told the car would be right down. When downstairs, we waited another 15 minutes and were then finally approached by a valet person. He checked ticket number and told me it would be right there. 15 minutes later the same thing, would be right there. Another 15 minutes later, the same thing again. Finally after an hour of standing outside the valet told me to walk across the street to the parking garage to get my car. Why did I pay $55 for valet parking when rates are $37 at the garage if I had to get my car myself? This is not what I have come to expect from SPG and I was/am quite disappointed. Especially since I missed my appointment after standing around for an hour only to be told to get my car myself. September 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rockkevin Great hotel in a great location This is one of my better stays in Manhattan. I love the canal street area. The hotel room was incredibly comfortable however I wasn't able to secure a club room. The Valet is a bit pricey compared to the service you get. Hardly any space to park during midday traffic and there was no valet outside when I arrived. I actually called a block away just tried make sure. Overall a nice spot. Definitely recommend the breakfast buffet. February 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Broadway21 Great stay at Sheraton Tribeca! My daughter and I were very pleased with the friendly service we received at this hotel! The room was very comfortable, clean, quiet, and well serviced. The location was ideal for walking to great shopping (only a few blocks away to Broadway shops off Canal). A short cab ride to NYU, (could have walked if it had been nicer weather). We usually stay in Times Square, but all things considered, we would definitely stay here again. January 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MichaelM2010 Good Stay I generally stay in mid town but decided to give this hotel a try. The experiemnt worked because it caused me to explore an area of NYC that I would not normally travel to. I do like the newness of the hotel and the starbucks in the lobby. My only problem was that my room was sandwiched between the soda machine and the elevators so not only did I hear every conversation in the early morning but I was awaken by them as well.... August 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Boy4 Pleasantly surprised It wouldn't look like it from the street, but this hotel is great and has a lot to offer. My wife and I reserved a room block for our wedding and all of our friends and family that stayed here really enjoyed it. The location may not seem like the best in town, but I wouldn't let it prevent you from booking a room here. I really enjoy hanging out in the neighborhood and there are many nearby subway options to get around. October 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jacquibr outstanding from check-in to check-out Every single member of the staff at this location go above and beyond to make you feel welcome This was our second time at this location and our first time as SPG Gold status and were upgraded to a double bed club room upon check-in ... We will only be staying at this location when we need a hotel in nyc The location is IDEAL ... You are three blocks in any direction from Soho, tribeca, Chinatown and a block from the canal street express 2 train Rooms are very very quiet and comfortable ... Spectacular views from gorgeous rooftop via the club lounge Hotel makes you feel secure and safe with keyaccess in elevator as to not let any Joe shmoo off the street ride the elevators and roam the floors Inncedently, the hotel is extremely dog friendly ... Brought our lab Lola on first trip and they treated her as if the hotel was her home :) Thanks! Will def be back December 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by kl168 Good Location. Not Worth Suite Upgrade I have travelled around the world with Starwood hotel (>100 night/yr). This starwood hotel as category 5 is definitely on the low value/service category. The suite is not really a suite. The bellman is hellpful, but the check-out lady is not very friendly (The check-in gentleman is OK). I guess the serive quality depends on the shift or the person. I like the location in general, close to subway, SOHO, and Chinatown. October 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by eliza9675 Great location and helpful staff! The location of this hotel is great! The subway station is directly behind the hotel and the staff gave such great directions regarding the subway that I felt like a pro by the time I left. The concierge was so helpful! I basically ran down a list of everywhere I wanted to go and he mapped it out for me. There was lots of shopping just a block from the hotel as well as some inexpensive pizza/bagel places next door. April 24, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by MissyJ BEWARE I would like to express my deep dissatisfaction with this property. I am SPG Platinum and have stayed here several times. Due to weather and a flight cancellation, I had to cancel my stay and the hotel INSISTS on charging me for my room - despite calling them hours in advance. I will go out of my way to not stay here and will make sure to tell my friends and social network contacts to avoid this property as well. February 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Suzie Small Rooms Booked a suite and was disappointed in the size of the room. When I inquire about the size of the hotel room differing from the description online, the staff said they hear that all the time. The second night of our stay the staff accommodated us to a new room but it was still the same size. Helpful staff but the first room was a little more worn than it should have been. Could be a solid hotel but not the best. April 22, 2013

PALESTINE — Palestine police continue to investigate the death of an elderly man found dead at his residence on Longhorn Drive on Monday.
On Monday, officers from the Palestine Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 100 block of Longhorn Drive concerning the welfare of a resident there, police reports state.
"Police arrived on the scene and found the back door to the residence unsecure," Palestine Police Department Public Information Officer Lt. James Muniz said in a statement released to the Herald-Press. "Officers entered the residence to check on the welfare of the elderly resident and found a subject deceased inside the residence.This case is being investigated as a homicide by the Palestine Police Department."
Police reports indicate police spoke with the victim's neighbors and learned the subject had not been seen in several days. It also was learned the victim's car was missing from the residence. Police are attempting to locate the victim's vehicle -- a 2004 Chevy Impala with Texas license plate number 6ND-CJ. The car is gold or light brown in color.
"Officers are continuing to follow up several investigative leads at this time," Muniz said.
