Escape to this rugged, full featured, and convenient section of the Ice Age Trail from CTH-D to Paradise Drive. The West Bend segment of the Ice Age National Scenic trail travels through West Bend, WI. Although conveniently located right in West Bend, this rugged, forested landscape will make you feel much further away. This complete and detailed route covers the West Bend segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and all it's access points, trailheads, parking, connecting trails, communities, parks, preserves, and facilities. The Ice Age Trail is a thousand-mile footpath highlighting the remnants left behind by glaciers during the last ice age over 12,000 years ago. Designated as a National Scenic Trail, the Ice Age trail follows the terminal moraine of the last glaciation throughout Wisconsin providing some of the world's best examples of glacial formations such as kettles, moraines, and drumlins.
We started in the area and will head north
Mark very well we did on over night in Oct last year
Nice trail, good elevation changes and a nice hike through some beautiful open woods
Debbie R.
I walked this trail from the south trailhead all the way to the Kewaskum segment and back. This was my first hike so I didn't know what to expect. What I discovered was the connector directions were only given going northbound. I am glad I paid attention to my surroundings because the trail at one point came to an end at the back of an apartment building hidden behind a pile of dirt. I have attached a photo with the directions. I am glad I took the photo and paid attention to my surroundings or I don't think I would have been able to find the trail on the return. Also on the return I found at Ridge Run the trail opened up to the park and did not give directions as to where it picked up again. I had to look around to find where the trail picked up again. I overshot the trail and had to backtrack. The scenery was nice. Despite running into a bees next and getting stung over 30 times I enjoyed my first hike.
Alex Z.
Great place for a family hike!
easy to park, great scenery! , highly recommend.
great trail, one of my midwest favorites. Clearly marked and sufficiently cleared for trail running. Mostly in the woods so bring inspect spray.
Directions that linked to my Google Maps App took me past the trail head. TH is about 1 mile past the cemetery - sign is pretty small but you'll see if if you keep an eye peeled.
beautiful on a nice fall day.

Healthy Holiday Snack!
It's that magical time of the year again! This is the time of year when family and friends reunite for shared memories, traditions, laughter, cocktails, and yummy meals made with love.
While we ARE advocates of all of the above, we're also well aware of the fact that most "meals made with love", are also made with butter... And sugar. And LOVE! And more butter. And more sugar. And maybe a dollop or two of heavy whipping cream, and LOVE, for good measure.
Again, we're advocates of enjoying the holiday season to the fullest! Which is why we'd like to share one of our absolute favorite holiday snack recipes; created with love (and health) in mind, sans the butter, sugar and cream :) Happy eating!
What you'll need:
1 large mixing bowl
3 table spoons of coconut oil
2-3 medium sized sweet potatoes
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1 Large non-stick cookie sheet
1 Oven preheated to 350°
What to do:
- If you prefer sweet potato without the skin, peel them! Otherwise, simply wash your sweet potatoes!
- Thinly slice your sweet potatoes into circles (see image for reference) and place them into your large mixing bowl
- Add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (more or less is fine as long as the potatoes are coated)
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon (more or less to taste)
- Get your hands a little dirty! Massage the coconut oil and cinnamon into the potatoes until each slice is fairly evenly coated.
- Transfer your potatoes flat onto to the non-stick cookie sheet - there should be only 1 layer of potatoes on the sheet
Hopefully your oven is preheated and ready! Place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, FLIP THE POTATOES & place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
That's it! Once your potatoes are done, take them out to cool & munch away! This tasty treat is great as a cold snack too! Bake a double batch and save half to snack on later, right out of the fridge!
** The beauty of this recipe is in it's simplicity, but feel free to add sea salt and/or coconut sugar to taste. **

Charges NOT Dropped For USC Party-Goers Who Claimed LAPD Racism
File photo by Ted Soqui for LA Weekly.
It was a story published by some outlets yesterday. And, frankly, we were about to pull the trigger on publishing it too, right before the City Attorney's office said, "This is not true."
Literally -- that's what the office stated.
Lawyer Fred Dorton apparently told reporters that charges against six students arrested during what some have alleged was a racially motivated raid on a party near USC earlier this month had been dropped. Now the City Attorney's office says that's not true:
Here's what the office has to day about Dorton's remarks:
Contrary to widespread news reports, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has not dropped charges against six USC students arrested during an off-campus party May 4, 2013.
... No decision has been made on filing the case. The City Attorney's Office is gathering evidence and the case remains under review.

Police arrested one student on suspicion of felony interfering with police, one on suspicion of misdemeanor interfering and four on suspicion of failing to disperse, cops told us earlier.
It happened after officers raided the party near campus.
In fact, police told us that cops were actually dealing with two nearby parties as dozens and perhaps hundreds of young people were leaving both events and authorities were met with bottles and other debris, which then prompted the riot-gear response.
View Larger Map
Students at one of the events said they were treated to the riot-gear treatment because attendees were mostly African American and Latino. White students at the party across the street backed up that claim and said cops dealt with them differently.
Officers say they were responding to noise complaints and told folks at both events to simmer down. The volume on the music at the minority party, however, went back up after officers went across the street to tell students there to keep it low, according to police and reports.
That's when things fell apart and escalated into a standoff that brought out the troops, police indicated.
The claims of racism prompted an uproar on campus, but LAPD officials maintain that they were fair. The department, however, will investigate officers' actions that night.

Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6S? Does the new Apple flagship have enough to take on Samsung's best smartphone yet?
Samsung's current flagship phone launched earlier in the year, and was an obvious attempt to take on the iPhone 6 with its premium build and impressive performance.
Now that the iPhone 6S is on the market, how does the Samsung Galaxy S6 fare?
Let's take a look.
Watch our round-up of the best iOS 9 features
iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Design
iPhone 6S: 7.1mm thick, Series 7000 anodised aluminium back
Galaxy S6: 6.9mm thick, aluminium unibody and glass panel
You know the story with Apple's S-range phones by now. They look and feel almost identical to the previous model.
As such, the iPhone 6S is pretty much a dead ringer for the iPhone 6. It's not identical, though.
For one thing, the iPhone 6S is marginally thicker than the iPhone 6 thanks to a couple of important new features. We're only talking 2mm here.
Another difference to the iPhone 6S design won't be readily visible, but it makes for a sturdier device. Apple has switched to the Series 7000 aluminium it uses for the Apple Watch.
Related: Live Photos - How do they work?
This material is 60 percent stronger than standard aluminium, but just as light. Add in some reinforcements for key weak points (such as near button openings), and it's clear that Apple is determined to avoid a repeat of the 'bendgate' controversy.
Will that be enough to trump the Galaxy S6 on sheer desirability? Well, given that the Galaxy S6 evidently borrows a few of its design tricks from the iPhone 6, it's a fairly close call.
However, Samsung has gone with a strikingly shimmery glass back and a distinctively moulded metallic edge with Galaxy S6. For pure eye-catching looks, then, the S6 phone wins - and that's not something we would have imagined saying about a Samsung phone 12 months ago.
However, that glass back is an undeniable weak point in terms of practicality. It's excessively slippery and undeniably shatter-prone.
In terms of practical day-to-day usage and ruggedness, we have to give the iPhone 6S and its all-metal construction the nod - particularly with those reinforcements. And THAT's not something we would have imagined saying 12 months ago either.
The iPhone 6S is also the easier phone to hold, thanks to its smaller size and metal back. The Galaxy S6, by contrast, is a slippery little sucker thanks to its glass back. Don't even think of laying it down on a slightly angled, non-grippy surface, as it has the tendency of sliding off with minimal provocation.
iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Screen
iPhone 6S: 4.7-inch, 1334 x 750 IPS LCD, 3D Touch
Galaxy S6: 5.1-inch, 2440 x 1560 'QHD' Super AMOLED
The iPhone 6S display is very similar indeed to the iPhone 6's. That means a 4.7-inch IPS LCD display and no gorgeous QHD display that's currently packed into the S6.
We loved this display in the iPhone 6, and we still love it in the iPhone 6S. It's perfectly sized for one-handed usage, without being restrictive like previous 4-inch iPhones. At that size, too, the iPhone's 1334 x 750 resolution is just sharp enough. It's also extremely bright and vivid.
While there's no change in the resolution stakes, where the iPhone 6S display does get an improvement is in its functionality.
Apple has added 3D Touch to its smartphone range after successful (if tentatively applied) showings in the Apple Watch and New MacBook. This new technology recognises the amount of pressure you place on the display, literally enabling an extra layer of depth to touch inputs.
We found this technology to be much more than just a gimmick, with lots of handy little applications dotted throughout iOS 9, such as the ability to preview emails and websites, or jump straight to the selfie cam. It's only going to get more useful as more and more developers add 3D Touch support, too.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 has no such pressure-sensing technology, but as a pure display, it's touch to argue that it still isn't flat out superior to the iPhone 6S's. Yes, its QHD resolution is much sharper than the iPhone's, but that's the least of its feats.
Samsung's supreme grip on Super AMOLED technology means it's more vibrant, with deeper blacks and higher contrast.
If you care about somewhere to watch video and browse the web, the S6 is a cut above the iPhone 6s, but that's not to say that Apple's latest phone isn't accomplished in these areas.
Put simply, the iPhone 6S display is smarter, but the Samsung Galaxy S6 screen is better looking.
Related : What can 3D Touch do on the iPhone 6S?
iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Power
iPhone 6S: Apple A9 64-bit dual-core CPU, 2GB RAM
Galaxy S6: Exynos 7420 64-bit octa-core, 3GB RAM
The iPhone 6 impressed with its potent 64-bit A8 CPU, which as always blew away the off-the-shelf Android competition on single-core performance - still incredibly important for mobile usage.
However, the Galaxy S6 came along with Samsung's own Exynos 7420, an octa-core chip that blitzed the A8 on multi-core performance and got surprisingly close on single-core terms. At the time of its launch, it was pretty much the best mobile SoC (System on Chip) around.
So what of the iPhone 6S? Well, it runs on the A9 chip, which is significantly faster than the A8 in both CPU and GPU departments. We're talking around 70 percent faster on the CPU front, and 90 percent faster on the GPU front.
It gives the Galaxy S6's Exynos chip a serious run for its money. In terms of single-core performance the A9 blitzes the Galaxy S6, while the Galaxy S6 only pips the iPhone 6S by a small amount on the multi-core benchmarks.
Things get interesting when we turn to RAM. The Galaxy S6 has a generous 3GB, while the iPhone 6S has 2GB of RAM.
The S6 appears to have the edge on the RAM count, but it's worth mentioning that iOS is renowned for being much easier on the RAM than Android. In actual fact, the iPhone 6S doubles up on the memory of previous iPhones, making for a dramatic performance increase. It's noticeably quicker than the iPhone 6.
It's also worth mentioning that the iPhone 6S comes with a new and improved version of Touch ID, which loads up much faster than before. We'd even say that it feels faster than the Galaxy S6 equivalent, although we don't have any complaints with either.

iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Camera
iPhone 6S: 12-megapixel rear camera, f/2.2 aperture, dual LED flash, 4K video recording
Galaxy S6: 16-megapixel rear camera, f/1.9 aperture single LED flash, OIS, 4K video recording
Apple has had the smartphone camera market all but sown up in recent years - until the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S6. Here for the first time Samsung provided a camera that topped its great rival's effort in many people's estimations.
Naturally, Apple looked to redress the balance with the iPhone 6S. It did so by bumping up the megapixel count for the first time since the iPhone 4S, with a new 12-megapixel image sensor. Up front is a 5-megapixel Retina HD with Retina flash that uses the entire phone screen to capture your mug.
The rear camera technically still trails the 16-megapixel Galaxy S6, but we've all realised that more doesn't necessarily mean better in image sensors of this size, haven't we?
One disappointment with the new iPhone 6S camera is the lack of OIS (optical image stabilisation). One of the reasons the iPhone 6 omitted the shot-steadying technology while the iPhone 6 Plus included it is because the smaller phone was too thin and sadly the handy feature for improving low-light photography misses out again.
The S6 has a lot going for it beyond more megapixels and OIS, of course. It's very fast to take a shot, which is helped by its splendid home button-based camera shortcut. It also has an excellent Pro manual mode, which Apple's iPhone range still lacks.
The Galaxy S6 also has a wider aperture f/1.9 lens than the f/2.2 iPhone 6S, which lets more light in and helps with low-light shots, as well as in capturing that lovely defocused background, or bokeh, effect.

Overall, we can't call which camera is better. The iPhone remains the best phone for just pointing and shooting, and you'll get more consistent results from it. But the Galaxy S6 offers greater manual control and superior low-light shots.
iPhone 6S vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Software
iPhone 6S: iOS 9
Galaxy S6: Android 5.1 Lollipop with TouchWiz UI
The iPhone 6S continues Apple's dominance of Samsung on the software front. We're big fans of Android 5.1 Lollipop in its unadulterated form, but Samsung does insist on tinkering with it.
Yes, the Galaxy S6 is much better in this regard than previous efforts, but it's still inferior to plain old Android. Samsung's efforts at differentiation serve to make any iPhone, with its uniform iOS operating system, look and feel a little classier by comparison.
You might argue that iOS hasn't fundamentally changed enough from its original simplistic app icon-led origins. iOS 9 doesn't change that perception, as it's a largely iterative improvement over iOS 8.
But it certainly feels more cohesive and faster than Samsung's Android-with-TouchWiz. Plus, in recent years, Apple has caught up with Android's core feature count in recent years (largely through aping Google's work).
The whole app thing is less of an issue than it's ever been, but it's still undeniable that the App Store is a more vibrant, higher quality offering than the Google Play Store.
Samsung does have its own voice assistant to try and take on Siri. It's called S Voice, and there's plenty the voice assistant is capable of doing. From simple things like calling a number or adding events to calendars, it can update your social networks and even write a memo.
You do of course have the benefit of Google Now as well, which is soon to be upgraded with Google Now on Tap. Indeed, Google Now is a far better rival to Siri than S Voice. In fact, we'd argue that Android's assistant has been better than Apple's for some time now.
Apple has improved Siri considerably in iOS 9, though, and it now achieves something approaching parity. A swipe right from the main homescreen takes you to a new Siri screen, providing frequently used contacts and apps, and relevant news stories.
Siri's voice-activated element has also grown more sophisticated, with room for naturalistic requests like 'show me pictures taken in Australia,' while Spotlight also pulls in search results from third party apps.

The Verdict
When we last pitched the Samsung Galaxy S6 against the iPhone 6, the Samsung just about came out on top. It's a phenomenally good smartphone.
Now that the iPhone 6S is with us, things have evened out, and we could even be looking at a marginal iPhone 6S win.
Apple has made improvements to the iPhone 6S's build quality at a time when we're realising that Samsung's heavy use of glass in the Galaxy S6 was a little ill-considered. It's also improved the camera considerably, to the point where we prefer it as a reliable point and shoot (though the Galaxy S6 camera has its own strengths).
We were taken aback, too, by the performance gains made by the iPhone 6S. Everything from getting into the phone with Touch ID to juggling multiple web tabs and apps just feels quicker and more fluid than before. With the Galaxy S6's heavy software weighing an otherwise capable phone down (especially with prolonged use), it's another win for the iPhone 6S.
Conversely, Apple hasn't done anything to improve the quality of the iPhone 6S's screen. Not that it's bad as such, but the Galaxy S6's display is better in almost every way.
Buy Now: Galaxy S6 on O2 (3GB) – £34.99 upfront, £35/month
Buy Now: Galaxy S6 on O2 (5GB) – £14.99 upfront, £39/month
Buy Now: Galaxy S6 on O2 (10GB) – £49.99 upfront, £39/month
Almost, but not all. The real clincher here is the iPhone 6S's 3D Touch facility. This bold new pressure-sensitive screen technology looks set to be hugely influential on future smartphone interfaces. Right now, it makes the already rapid iPhone 6S even more fluid to use.
Things have see-sawed back Apple's way with the iPhone 6S. We're expecting Samsung to respond in similar fashion with the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Title: Saxophone Jigsaw Puzzle
About: In this new puzzle we feature a saxophone. The saxophone was developed in 1880, by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian car maker, flautist, and clarinetist working in Paris. Saxophones are usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. The saxophone is used in chamber music, such as the saxophone quartet, reed quintet, and other chamber combinations of instruments.

The victor was Robert Hue, the party's candidate in last year's presidential elections, who was able to stamp his genial pragmatism on the party for the first time.
Fate played its part: Georges Marchais, who led the party in its pro- Moscow course until well after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and whose influence persisted even after he left the leadership, spent the opening day of the congress on the operating table. Yesterday, Mr Hue denied reports that his 76-year-old predecessor had had a Yeltsin-style heart bypass, saying that he had "only" had a pacemaker fitted.
But the image of the ailing Comrade Marchais hung over the congress as a symbol of the party's past. A chapter in the party's history was over, and a clutch of senior figures resigned, for reasons of age, policy differences or expediency, from the policy-setting national bureau.
This was a congress shot through with ambiguities. Held in a cavernous hall beneath the futuristic arch of La Defense, it was attended by more than 1,000 delegates, many of them sporting Karl Marx beards, Lenin goatees and Mao jackets straight out of the party's glory days. Unsmiling doormen preferred the black-clad Che Guevara look.
Everyone sat at long tables arranged in a huge square, designed to foster a spirit of "free discussion". By Friday afternoon, they were barely beyond the "Preamble", voting page by page, with yellow party cards lifted high in the air. It was back to basics in a big way. "What is meant by the term `working class' in the hi-tech age?" But the votes were easy: overwhelming victories for Mr Hue and the "modernists".
The result is a policy document described as "realistic" or "Janus-like", depending who is speaking. The party continues to recognise the need for "class struggle", but will tolerate capitalist (private) money to help out the public sector. It opposes the Maastricht treaty and the single currency, but favours "European construction". It would take part in a Socialist government, but objects to key planks of the Socialists' policies on social matters and on Europe.
With an eye on its real opponents for the workers' vote - the extreme- right National Front - the party presents itself as France-centred and protectionist compared with the Socialists. The dominant colour at the congress was yellow (the colour often adopted by the National Front). The red flag was barely to be seen: just a corner on the congress banner, balanced by a tricolour; proceedings concluded with the Marseillaise and the Internationale - in that order.

She was told she would have to undergo a hysterectomy, but two days before the operation she was put forward for pioneering surgery. Mrs Brown, 34, had a trachellectomy which removed her cervix, but left her womb intact and rid her of the disease. A year later she was given the allclear to try for a baby.
Mrs Brown said: "The surgery I had to go through was just awful and if these new treatments will stop women going through what I had to then it has prevented a lot of suffering. My face was swollen and I had problems with my leg because nerves had to be severed during the operation. I still have to have smear tests every six months but fingers crossed, everything is okay."
Mrs Brown married her partner, Jeffrey, last year and together they have a daughter Scarlet. She said: "Women need to know that there is hope. I hope these new treatments will offer more women the wonderful experiences I have had with my daughter."

With all due respect to the Boston Celtics, who have been magnificent, if the Miami Heat are ousted in the Eastern Conference Finals it will be all about assessing blame.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. But more uneasy is a head that is supposed to win the crown and doesn't.
And when you are down 3-2 to the Celtics and headed to their home court that is an uneasy feeling.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have not hit the panic button but maybe some urgency wouldn't hurt.
"We never get too high or too low in a series," said James. "We have to win or go home."
Added Wade: "They have what you call momentum…We're a confident team. We haven't won much in that arena, but we won last year to give us confidence we can win…. It's not an ideal situation, but we have no excuses. They beat us in our house."
The Heat now need to win in Boston and then win again at home. If that doesn't happen take cover because the critics are going to come raining down.
Where will you put the blame?

I have been lucky enough to spend my professional career working with extremely talented designers, programmers, and marketing
Here's a few things that we've done together recently.
I freaking love playing music of all kinds. As a classically- and jazz-trained bassist, guitarist, vocalist, and conductor, I have had the pleasure of working with some exceptionally talented musicians over the last decade as well. These are just a few of them.
I, Brian J. Narvy, am a 24-year-old interactive producer working at MOKU iMedia. I graduated
from UC Santa Barbara in 2010 as a Regent's Scholar with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Economics and a
minor in Music.
I've worked as lead and associate producer on global integrated marketing campaigns and web builds for clients like Sony, Warner Bros., Lionsgate Films, Focus Features, Relativity Media, and the Asia Academy of Music Arts & Sciences. I can also juggle... kind of.
Fascinating, you say? Feel free to learn more.

Professional Fan fiction: Where it started, and where it is now

New Delhi, May 12 (UNI) Barely a day after he swore his loyalty to the Gandhi-Nehru family in an apparent attempt to mend fences with the Congress top leadership, Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh today claimed he was not a sycophant, but stuck to his earlier remarks that Rahul Gandhi is the ''future PM material''.
''Whether somebody agrees to it or not, I think AICC knows that I am not a sycophant,'' the veteran Congress leader, who has been in a spot for making a series of controversial and headlines-grabbing comments on the functioning of the party leadership, told 'Aaj Tak' TV channel.
Mr Singh was reacting to a query on the recent statement from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) that the ''Gandhi-Nehru family does not like sycophants.'' ''I don' even know whether those remarks were for me or not.
Those remarks must be for someone else,'' he said.
He, however, refused to comment on his observations in his recently launched biography 'Mohin Kahan Vishram' (No Rest for Me) about the decision-making process in the party. He merely stated that he never wrote the book and it was someone else's observations.
The AICC statement came in the wake of Mr Singh's suggestion that Rahul Gandhi be made the next Prime Minister. The AICC, while slamming his stand, had maintained that the party had no place for sycophancy and had appreciated the contribution of Dr Manmohan Singh.
During the interview, Mr Singh also brished aside the reports that he had been sidelined in the party.
Asked whether his remarks had made the headlines because some people in the Congress were against him or the recent trend of ''off the record'' briefings, he said, ''Off the record briefings have been institutionalised and I am neither bothered nor I am interested to know who all are doing it.'' Defending his earlier remarks on projecting Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial candidate, Mr Singh sought to clarify by saying that ''it was in some context. I was answering to a query from media personnel who had sought my views on the issue that Rahul Gandhi is being projected as prime ministerial candidate.'' ''I simply asked them why should he (Rahul) not be projected as the PM candidate. That never meant that I was advocating for a replacement. Obviously there is no vacancy at this moment but what will happen in future who knows? The PM himself said that Rahul Gandhi is the future leader.'' The HRD Minister also said Rahul Gandhi is the 'future PM material' and he stood by his earlier statement.
On being asked if there was any truth in the reports whether Rahul Gandhi is not happy with the ways he is running his ministry, Mr Singh said, ''I have never heard from Rahul on this issue till date. Jumping on conclusion will not be appropriate at this moment.'' Does he believe that there is a coterie around Congress president Sonia Gandhi which influences her decision-making process? ''I have not come across any such incident,'' he remarked.
Yesterday, in a signed statement, Mr Singh said he would like to put it on record that when he met Pt Jawaharlal Nehru in March 1960, he pledged his total loyalty to him and his family.
''This was the commitment which is an article of faith with me.
For the past 48 years of my life, I have scrupulously adhered to it.
I shall also do everything to maintain the loyalty and commitment to the remaining members of the family till I live,'' he said.
Referring to the controversy raised by the book, written by Dr K L Nandan and presented to President Pratibha Patil on May 9, the HRD Minister expressed pain at the issues raised and described these as ''needless and irrelevant.'' ''This is now a closed chapter as far as I am concerned,'' Mr Singh said.
In the book, he was quoted as saying that the decision-making process in the Congress had got ''disintegrated'' unlike in the past when there was more scope to be free and involved.

We enjoyed this hotel very much. My wife and I stayed here for a couple of days just as a getaway, as we live about an hour away. It was clean, super-convenient to shopping at St Johns Town Center, and our room, a 2-queen suite, was quite large. The beds were very comfy. The staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. I feel it was worth the price we paid for it. The only problem was in regard to a little noise from the garbage truck in the morning, but mostly noise from above. We were on the third floor of this four-story hotel. We could hear every time the people above us walked around in their room, which they seemed to do all night. This isn't something we've experienced (to this degree) in other hotels. The complimentary breakfast was on par with complimentary hot breakfasts I've had at other hotels: not great, but OK. We would certainly stay here again, but would require a room on the fourth floor, so we could disturb the people on the third floor all night...

A new study examined how tennis players improve. It cost $21 million.
It was an interesting approach. 195 players each got 68 hours of training. A control group got about 13 hours of training.
There were no drills, though. No actual practice hitting tennis balls.
Instead, the players sat in a room and listened to lectures about tennis swing mechanics. "Hard-to-grasp" concepts, like slice backhands and kick serves.
Each player was then observed one time. Did he apply what he'd learned in the lectures? Nobody actually got traditional tennis lessons, where you repeat the same stroke over and over and over, or where the coach picks your most obvious improvement area and yells at you while you play: "Racket Back Now!"
Okay, okay, that's not what happened.
Instead, they used this exact same approach to try to improve math teachers. Guess what? According to a giant federal study reported in Education Week: No effect!
I guess for just $108,000 per teacher, we shouldn't expect any results.

GBPJPY: Recovering But Still Maintains Its Short Term Downside Risk
The cross has halted its weakness and triggered a recovery higher but continues to maintain its short term downtrend bias. This suggests that on ending its present correction, it will resume its weakness with the risk of returning to its key support at the 116.78 level. Below here will resume its long term weakness towards the 115.00 level, its psycho level and then the 114.00 level. Alternatively, on continued corrective offensive, the pair will aim at the 123.14 level, its Nov 15'2011 high. However, it will have to break and hold above the 127.30/21 levels to resume its uptrend started from the 116.99 level. This will set the stage for further strength towards the 128.85 level, its Aug 08'2011 high and subsequently, the 130.78 level, its Aug 04'2011 high. All in all, the cross is biased to the downside in the short term but faces bear risk in the immediate term.

Mary Chapin Carpenter Launches Jorgensen Season, 9/15
Grammy-winner Mary Chapin Carpenter has played the White House, the Superbowl, the World Series and the Grand Ole Opry. On Sept. 15, she'll play Jorgensen on the University of Connecticut campus.
Carpenter, winner of five Grammys, will perform songs from her new album, Ashes and Roses, and draw from her past trove of evocative ballads, point of view pieces and sassy fast rides in Jorgensen's season opener at 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15. Doors open at 7 p.m. to Jorgensen's award-winning Cabaret for food and drink before the show, which will kick off with folk and bluegrass singer Aoife O'Donovan. Aoife (pronounced EEF-ah) has lent her clear voice to collaborations with Chris Thile (the Punch Brothers) and recently Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan and Thile. Her singing has been heard on HBO's True Blood and ABC'sPrivate Practice.
Carpenter, the acclaimed singer/songwriter known for her intimate connection with listeners, has 12 Top Ten hits and four No. 1 singles, including "Down at the Twist and Shout," "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" and "Shut Up and Kiss Me." Her songs have appeared in films, such as "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Tin Cup," "Fly Away Home" and "Dead Man Walking."
Carpenter will stop in Storrs on a national tour with her full band after releasing her 2012 album, which grew out of a difficult phase for her personally; in the last few years she has gone through divorce, loss of a parent and catastrophic illness. Her writing in this painful period has produced both paeans and songs of transformation, its arc going from night into day, she says. Songs include "Soul Companion," a duet with James Taylor, "The Swords We Carried" and "Learning the World."
"As we get older and we lose our father and we almost die and things go terribly wrong, we realize how much we need each other," Carpenter says. "We are all so profoundly connected. It's the only thing that matters. Without each other, what's the point?"

Let me start by saying that I am not in the category of what I would call a "libertarian wackjob" (no offense to any of my dear readers). While I don't particularly want the government all up in my business (don't tell me who I can and cannot marry, and don't take away my cloves because kids happen to like them), I get that market failures sometimes exist and there is a socially beneficial role for government to play in some forms of commerce. I am also, as you know, a big proponent of voting with one's dollars. These two characteristics lead me to be very conflicted when I read things like this:
Governor Deval Patrick plans to direct state employees to boycott the Hyatt while conducting state business unless the hotel company rehires the housekeepers it fired, he said in a letter sent today to Hyatt chief executive Mark Hoplamazian.
Okay, since I do get that not everyone lives in the People's Republic of Cambridge, I will give some background on the issue (which can also be found in the article). In a nutshell, the Hyatt fired all of its $15 an hour housekeepers and is now getting such services via a hospitality services company that pays its employees $8 per hour. People in Boston seem upset by this:
The firings have prompted a public outcry against the hotel company. The union that represents Boston-area hotel workers organized a rally in front of the Hyatt Regency Boston last week and several local politicans and business owners have called for a boycott. The National Employment Lawyers Association canceled its contract with the Hyatt Regency Boston after it heard the news and is searching for another Boston hotel to hold its October seminar.
There are also some hazy details about the old workers unknowingly training their replacements and such. (a douchey move for Hyatt, if true, but not illegal) So let's think about this: Hyatt has a bunch of hotel rooms that it owns, or at the very least has long-term leases on. We're in a recession, and people probably aren't ponying up cash like they used to for a nice hotel, but Hyatt is still stuck with these rooms. This is going to translate into lower prices for hotel rooms, which translates to lower profit for Hyatt. Now Hyatt's investors* are displeased and ask if there is anything that can be done to restore profitability. So the company starts poking around for cost-cutting measures since fixing the revenue side seems like a lost cause. It comes upon a services firm that says it can cut the hotel's maintenance costs by a decent amount. What is the hotel to do?
Well, the hotel is in a tough spot- to not take the cost-saving opportunity isn't in the best interests of shareholders, at least not directly. (Wait before you protest.) To take the opportunity is to put some people out of work, which is no good for them. The part that is being ignored, however, is the fact that the workers being brought in had jobs whereas they hadn't had jobs before. (In other words, I'm not going to hold my breath to see rallies in support of these people's rights to work for $8 an hour if that is what they choose to do, even though it's the same principle as the one that the actual rallies are about.)
So let's be clear about who wins and who loses:
Hyatt (and thus shareholders)- lower costs
The outsourcing company- they wouldn't have offered the deal to Hyatt if it wasn't good for them
The new employees- they weren't employed before and now they have jobs, albeit low paying ones
The old employees- they no longer have jobs and are now on unemployment. (I am pretty sure that the unemployment benefits would give them an effective "wage" of $8 an hour, which I find to be perversely funny.) Note that if these people had been willing to work for $8 an hour, their wage would have been $8 (or could have been set to $8) and there would not have been an incentive to outsource. (In this vein, if the union wanted to make a stronger argument, it should argue that the existing employees weren't given the first right of refusal to the $8 an hour jobs.)
Now let's try to step away from our bias towards the status quo and reframe the situation. If the company gets strongarmed into rehiring the old employees, who wins and loses? Now the old employees win at the expense of everyone else. If the move from the $15 an hour to the $8 an hour employees is a bad thing, shouldn't it stand to reason that a move from the $8 an hour to the $15 an hour employees should be a specifically good thing? But the logic doesn't quite hold.
Nonetheless, if you feel like voting with your dollars and deciding that you don't want to support organizations that don't pay what you feel is a "living wage," have at it. I would even commend you for voicing your opinion in this way. (I am very supportive of the lawyers' association for sending a "you're being a jackass" signal, for example, as long as that signal represents the underlying opinions of its members. I am also glad that the media is making this information available, since it's hard to vote with one's dollars when the issues at hand aren't visible.) Furthermore, if people in general were willing to take their business to firms that paid a living wage, you can bet that Hyatt would catch on pretty quickly and pay a living wage. (In this case, paying a higher wage would in fact be maximizing shareholder value.)
The problem here is the usual one of potential coordination failure. To some degree, the lowered cost of housekeeping is going to allow Hyatt to keep prices down. If people are willing to pay for the satisfaction of knowing that they are not supporting an organization that they feel is acting improperly, then there is no coordination problem. However, if people continue with the status quo because they think "well, it's not like Hyatt is going to change its mind if little ol' me walks away," then Hyatt can get away with seemingly unfair policies.
Coming back to the main matter of interest, is it then right for the government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be voting with its dollars? On one hand, it can overcome the potential coordination failure because it's large enough to have some market power. On the other hand, the government has a fiduciary duty to act on behalf ALL of its constituents, not just some. Taken this way, it seems unjustified to automatically put the welfare of the existing employees as a higher priority than that of the company, shareholders, service provider and new employees. In addition, if the Hyatt was the best deal around for state employees, then the commonwealth is using taxpayer money to fund the boycott. As such, this is not really the appropriate use of government- if Deval Patrick wants a minimum wage of $15 in Massachusetts, then he can try to pass a law to that effect. I won't like it, but I will at least acknowledge that he went through the proper channel. This whole boycott idea just seems like a way to legislate without going through the necessary steps, which is seriously not justified. I can only hope that the people of this fine commonwealth are smart enough to see through the grandstanding.
In all of this, there is an unfortunate economic point to keep in mind: wages are determined by the supply and demand for labor, not on some inherent measure of "worth" or "value." As such, it's pretty arbitrary to even talk about what a "fair" wage for a job is since that is largely a subjective matter and not particularly correlated with actual market outcomes. But that's the way the world works in a capitalistic society, for better or for worse. (If you don't believe me, see "teachers, underpaid.")
* Before you get all up in arms with "but Hyatt isn't publicly traded, so you can't talk about shareholders and investors," please note that a. the current shareholders are in fact the Hyatt family and whether the stock is publicly traded isn't relevant here, and b. the company is prepping for a long-awaited IPO. Not surprising then they they are trying to be on the ball regarding cost cutting.
