Rated 5 out of 5 by Sonder74 A superb stay We stayed at Le Meridien Picadilly recently and the hotel is in a superb location to explore London with excellent facilities including a large indoor pool and good sized gym amongst other facilities. The food and service at the Terrace Grill & Bar was first class. As with most high end hotels, it is a pleasure to stay here but what I found truly great about my stay was the level of service and professionalism of all staff. Well done on such high standards of customer service. 18 de marzo de 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PJNJ Best Starwood in London Have stayed at the hotel 7 times in the past 12 months mainly on business and once on a family weekend getaway. For business it is always quiet, there are multiple locations in the hotel to work from ranging from your room to lounge to pool area to lobby. Very accommodating to the business traveler. Great staff, location, impeccable room cleanliness and a management team very responsive and open to doing what they can to always make the hotel a memorable occasion. Have stayed at all the other Starwood London hotels and recommend this one as best in class, a great mix of the traditional classic London lodging feel with a great staff. 13 de marzo de 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by toddml NYE Stay We have stayed at this property quite a bit mainly because they always seem to look after us so well and the location is simply superb! As I am usually there on a mixture of work and relaxation the club lounge and pool work really well! I hate being stuck in a room while working, it is much nicer being in the lounge. The fact there is a good size pool, hot tub and steam room also in the hotel is an added bonus! This time the stay was over NYE, 3 nights and although being very busy they managed to upgrade to a suite which was greatly appreciated. They moved the breakfast from the Terrace to the 1st floor to give themselves more room and on the whole it worked well and nice to see a proactive solution to the situation! The lounge staff are great and although several have changed over the last few months the new team see very friendly and helpful. Until the next visit wont be able to judge fully but I do get the feeling with the alchol a little bit of cost cutting going on. There always used to be a bottle of Cava or prosecco out for breakfast but now it is request only and some of the evening drinks spirits seem to have changed brand, not for the better altough this could have just been due to the very busy Christmas period and running out of stock of the usual ones so time will tell! Overall though a great stay, couldnt have been made to feel any more welcome and had a great meal in the Terrace on New Years Day! Drinks in the bar were also very good although we miss the old bartender team in there! 6 de enero de 2014

Great location as well. 24 de diciembre de 2013

I would like to print from my Hackintosh to a printer on a windows network.
I am running a dual boot Windows Vista/Leopard OS X 86 10.5.5
The printer (Epson Stylus Photo RX425) is connected to another Vista PC via USB. This machine and the dual boot machine share files and connect to the internet via a Netgear wireless router.
When booted to Vista on the dual boot machine I can print documents etc. on the printer connected to the other Vista machine via the wireless network.
Now I want to print from the Leopard side of the dual boot machine.
I have tried to connect to the printer this way.
System preferences>Print & Fax>Click + to add printer>in new window>ckick Windows tab>click workgroup>click connected machine>click installed printer(Epson Stylus Photo RX420)>choose 'Select Driver To Use' from drop down box>choose 'Epson Stylus Photo Series 1.3'>Click 'Add'>Printer seems to be installed
When I try to print the application in use shows the printer but when I send the document nothing prints.
When I open the printer queue I see the document to be printed, the queue says 'Printer ready' but the document line says 'Stopped'
If I click the 'Resume' tab two things happen.
1: A diagloge box appears which says: 'Operation could not be completed' 'client-error-not-possible'
2: The printer icon briefly says 'Printing (document name)' then 'No document found'
Then the queue returns to 'Stopped'
Can anyone help me with this problem

Small crowd meets state representative, senator with big concerns
State Senator Owen Laughlin and Representative Gus Blackwell met with about a dozen concerned county citizens on Friday.
Laughlin spoke extensively on Tort reform and his opinion that the Oklahoma courts, insurance companies and Worker's compensation need relief from large jury-settlements.
Laughlin told the group that the bill now proposed has been endorsed by both labor unions, chambers-of-commerce; and is opposed by trial attorneys.
Both Laughlin and Blackwell agreed that the lack of lawsuit reform was hurting the state because of companies refusing to bring in new businesses. He specifically mentioned the loss of a potential Boeing Aircraft Plant in Tulsa.
Education is a big winner when we get businesses to move to Oklahoma, Laughlin said.
Observer Janice Smith voiced her concerns about the state's Long-Term health Care Task Force and some of their mandates, like the education of nurses aides at sites down state.
Many of them are single moms. The cost will just make them quit, Smith said.
I was very distressed when I saw that, Smith said
Just keep in mind, this isn't law yet, Laughlin said.
Have these people ever been in a nursing home? Smith wanted to know.
It's problem both law makers agreed on; rural health.
I want to try video-conferencing, Blackwell said.
We have gotta get rural hospitals more money,' Blackwell added. Senator Laughlin has a bill on that.
Laughlin pointed at the crowd, It's hard to run a business as a doctor when insurance companies can tell you what doctor you can see; what procedure he can use.
Laughlin then called the state's Health Care Authority, ...an agency out of control. We get less dollars back than we pay in. We need a plan to reward those hospital districts who are willing to tax themselves, Laughlin said.
Phyllis Randolph of the Cimarron Chamber of Commerce and the Heritage Center thanked the two men for their support of Oklahoma Arts Council and told of plans for Gateways on the proposed Port-to-Plains corridor to entice tourists to visit the county.
The two men also spoke of their support of limited-liability laws for landowners so that landowners could see profit from hunting and birdwatching.
Bobby Apple asked about competitive bidding on school land, and his concerns that the state made it too attractive to outside businesses.
Two-thirds of my land is leased, if I lost the bid it would put me out of business, Apple explained. Cimarron county is getting very little of the proceeds, it's going downstate, he added.
The guys in Tulsa would like to see all this land sold, Laughlin said.
Blackwell said his answer would be to sell the land with first chance going to the operators on site, with state financed loans at six-percent. It was a recommendation not welcomed by Apple.
Apple then voiced concern that the local office of Department of Human Services might close.
They have committed to keeping this office open, Laughlin said.
I'd like to see some public health out here, Smith added.
Our senior citizens have lost grants. Their nutrition programs are suffering, she added.
Peggy Sparkman asked about truckers registration laws.
Our laws are fine; what happens is people are trying to circumvent them, Blackwell said. The trucking companies must have a realistic presence, he added. If they want to place a shipping hub here, I think that makes sense. I would encourage Boise City to recruit trucking firms. But they must obey the written law as well as the spirit of the law, Blackwell explained.

Some people spend years researching their German roots without enjoying the kind of success Harold (Hal) Sterwerf had in just five months: He traced his family back 150 years to the ancestor who started it all by coming over from Germany.
It helped that Sterwerf could find so many clues right in his heavily German hometown of Cincinnati. It really helped that he hit on the importance of checking variant spellings, especially with German names. And, yes, it helped that he just plain got lucky. Nonetheless, Sterwerf's discoveries show how checking (and later rechecking) sources, chasing leads and names that seem like long shots, and simply using common sense can take you a long way toward unpuzzling your family's German history.
Sterwerf had always been interested in his family history, but a big family reunion and a vacation in Germany—where he met other Sterwerfs—got him started doing research last June. His initial question was actually less ambitious than his final results: Where did the Sterwerfs who weren't descendants of his grandparents, William and Anna, fit into the family tree?
Trying to solve that puzzle proved addictive. "It's almost like a narcotic," he says. "It's like a murder mystery—you want to know what happens next."
All he knew about how to tackle that mystery was what he'd learned during a mini-course at the Cincinnati Public Library. Even using the library—which had switched to computers since his college-studying days—took some getting used to: "I had to teach myself to use the library again," Sterwerf says.
He started his search with family records his father had left him and by asking other relatives for any information they might have. That questioning led a cousin to produce prayer cards from the funerals of a number of Sterwerfs.
"The cards were all from the same era of time as my Grandfather William," Sterwerf says. "They had to be his brothers and sisters."
He also guessed that since his oldest uncle was named Henry that name might have been given in honor of his great-grandfather. He went to his local branch library and found an index of wills for the county probate court. It turned out that a will for a Henry Sterwerf had been executed in 1895, when Uncle Henry would have been only in his mid-teens. So this Henry Sterwerf was probably the great-grandfather that Hal had been seeking. The appearance of two dotted i's in his great-grandfather's signature led to the discovery that this Henry was really Heinrich.
Building on these clues, Sterwerf found 1870 census records listing his great-grandfather and (presumably) his great-grandmother, whose name, Mary, he learned for the first time. Both were listed as having been born in Prussia—so he had found the first clue linking his family to the Old World.
When he failed to find more census listings, he went to the courthouse to try real-estate records. Most of the Hamilton County, Ohio, records were destroyed in a fire started during a riot in 1938, but records for 1869 and 1847 survived. Finding no Sterwerfs listed, he got creative. He remembered his father telling him that his grandfather had been called "Star" and that the e's in his great-grandfather's signature looked like a's.
Sure enough, there was a "Starwarf" on the map of real-estate holdings with a plot in the right size. Discovering which Hamilton County township Great-grandfather Heinrich's farm was in led to the township death records, and from there Sterwerf tracked down his ancestor's cemetery plot.
But when he drove to the cemetery, Sterwerf was in for a surprise: His great-grandfather wasn't buried with the woman named Mary from the census, but instead with a woman named Christina and a young boy named Heinrich Conrad.
To clear up this new mystery, Sterwerf went to the Catholic church near the cemetery. A church volunteer scoured the records for him and found marriage records for Heinrich and Mary as well as a death record for Heinrich's first wife and mother of all of his children, Christina.
Once Sterwerf knew to look for different spellings of first and last names, he was able to find a "Henry Stasarf" in the 1880 census at a location that fit with what his own father had told him (census listings, he now realizes, frequently mangled names). Going back to the 1850 census, he found a "Henry Starwaif" married to a Christina. Finally, in a marriage record index, he found that "Herman Sternwerf" had married "Christina Schulze" (really Schulte) in 1847 in Cincinnati.
Now Sterwerf knew his immigrant ancestor was a single man when he came to America and he knew who his true great-grandmother was. He's waiting for a copy of Heinrich and Christina's marriage record from the Cincinnati Catholic archdiocese. Once he gets that, he'll move on to immigration, naturalization and citizenship records to try to tie his American ancestors back to Germany.

"I have received such great feedback from my parents' invited friends who love the Wedding photo I used from 50 years ago. It was very easy to upload the image and place it into the invite. Sizing and font style can be customized, and the whole process was so simple! I am very pleased with the finished product and will definitely return for my printing needs."
"I was able to personalize this card to a special birthday party. I was very happy with the product and it arrived ahead of schedule, too! Thanks, TIny Prints!"
"I was delighted with the quality of the picture. I had scanned in a wedding picture of my parents from 50 years ago.. It is adorable, not grainy or fuzzy. I wish there was a line to print..." no gifts please". But other than that, the guide for what to print was very appropriate."
"I rated this as excellent across the board, with the exception under the design category. I thought the font that was used under the polaroid was difficult to make out for some. I wish I could have changed it. Many invitees were not able to figure out what it said, until I told them it said "We still do". Despite some not being sure what the statement was, I still recieved lots of pleasant feedback on the quality and style for my event. The pictures I used were old and worn, but still looked great on the final card. I liked the website for RSVPs too. it was easy to use and fun to watch as more people RSVPd to my event. I will definately use this for my next large event."
"I received the invitations 2 days after placing the order! I could not believe they arrived so quickly and they were exactly what I wanted. The quality of the invitation was excellent and the photo turned out really nice. Will totally recommend this product to anyone who will listen!"

Headsets throughout the tourSightseeing: Visits to Poznan, Eisenhüttenstadt, Schwerin, Bremen
Local Guides for city sightseeing in Warsaw, Gdansk, Torun, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam. Professional Tour Director while touring
Witamy—welcome to Poland's vibrant capital city! Check into your hotel, then the rest of the day is free. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers.
Today's included sightseeing tour with a Local Guide is an excellent introduction to Warsaw, the geographic and political center of Poland since 1611. After its wartime destruction, the historic Old Town was magnificently reconstructed according to old paintings and photographs. This afternoon, why not sample some traditional pierogi (dumplings) or bigos (hunter's stew) at a local restaurant or join an optional excursion to Wilanów Castle? (B)
One of the most important shipping ports in Northern Europe, Gdansk was formerly known by its German name, Danzig. Sightseeing this afternoon with your Local Guide introduces you to this beautiful seaside town—past and present. Later, enjoy free time to join one of our optional activities or to do your own exploring in this delightfully walkable city. (B,D)
First stop today is medieval Torun on the Vistula River, birthplace of astronomer Copernicus. Torun managed to escape major damage in WWI, and your Local Guide will introduce you to this beautiful university town, including the Starowka (Old Town), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next up: Poznan, a part of Polish history for the past 1,000 years. Poznan has a wonderful mix of gothic and baroque architecture, including a 10th-century cathedral, the Dzialinksi Palace, 16th-century town hall clock and a fine opera house. A leisurely walk in the Main Square is a pleasent way to spend the evening. (B,D)
Today, head farther west and cross the border into Germany for an en-route visit to Eisenhüttenstadt. Located on the Oder River in the Berlin-Warsaw glacial valley and surrounded by hills and pine forests, the town was founded in 1950 as Stalinstadt. Situated alongside a new steel mill, it became known as a socialist model city. In 1961 and following de-Stalinization, the town was renamed Eisenhüttenstadt (Ironworks City). Later, via ancient Frankfurt an der Oder, reach Germany's capital city, Berlin. (B)
On this morning's included guided tour, learn how the city is no longer divided but every bit as fascinating. Once the city of contrasts with a wall separating two different worlds, Berlin has developed into a harmonious blend of old and new. It has preserved the old buildings, such as the State Opera House and the Brandenburg Gate, its neoclassic-style boulevards such as the Kurfüstendamm and Unter den Linden, while creating new buildings in cutting-edge architectural styles. It is once again Germany's capital and one of Europe's most lively and interesting cities. In the afternoon, maybe join the optional excursion to historic Potsdam, famous for its fine palaces and many beautiful historical buildings. (B)
Depart Berlin this morning and head north to Schwerin, the "City of the Seven Lakes." Time to visit this picturesque town with its iconic Schwerin Castle, located on an island and residence of the Dukes of Mecklenburg for centuries. Explore the cobblestoned market square and stroll through the narrow lanes lined with historical buildings. Then, head towards Hamburg for two overnights. (B,D)
One of Germany's greatest maritime cities, Hamburg was originally a modest settlement on the banks of the Alster River, but prospered when it became a member of the Hanseatic League. This morning, accompanied by your Local Guide, admire many of the city's highlights: observe impressive merchant's houses, glistening canals and lavish promenades. Later, why not join an optional excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lübeck—formerly capital of the Hanseatic League, which controlled trade along the Baltic as far as Russia? (B)
Stop in Bremen, Germany's smallest city-state and oldest maritime city. On the western side of the Town Hall, take photos of the bronze statue of the Bremen Town Musicians, commemorating the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Be sure to touch the donkey's front hooves for good luck! Later, head west and cross the border into the Netherlands. Arrive in Amsterdam, the country's 700-year-old capital city. (B)
Today, see the city's highlights with a Local Guide. Later, see the town from water level on a canal cruise, and watch the cutting and polishing of precious stones at a diamond center. Afternoon at leisure—maybe join an optional excursion. (B)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
Transportation:Scheduled transatlantic flights and airport transfers in Warsaw and Amsterdam if Cosmos issues the air tickets. Touring by private first-class air-conditioned motorcoach
Buffet breakfasts; 3 dinners
With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.

Former Chairman & CEO of EMC to help company further expand market leadership position in network monitoring solutions
MILPITAS, Calif., -- Dec. 14, 2010 -- Gigamon™, the leading global provider of Intelligent Data Access Networking™, is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Ruettgers to its Board of Directors. The insight, expertise and counsel from Ruettgers extensive experience managing and scaling technology companies will be invaluable in further accelerating the next stage of Gigamon's growth.
"We are very excited to have a seasoned veteran like Mike join our Board," said Ted Ho, co-founder and chief executive officer, Gigamon. "With cloud computing moving into the mainstream of enterprise computing and large-scale deployments of 10-Gigabit networks, our business continues to expand into many new markets worldwide. Mike has experienced this type of expansion firsthand and managed it with great success. We are looking forward to working with him."
"I'm delighted to join Gigamon's Board of Directors. Gigamon has a great story with an impressive history of profitability," said Ruettgers. "There is a growing enthusiasm for their products and they continue to prevail as a market leader. Gigamon laid a solid foundation that is similar to that of EMC in the late 80's. At that time, EMC's market cap was $75M and a decade later it was $210B, one of the greatest returned in NYSE history. I look forward to sharing my experiences with Gigamon and furthering their foundation for successful growth."
Ruettgers joined EMC in 1988 and served as CEO from 1992 until January 2001. Under his leadership, Ruettgers led EMC through a period of unprecedented growth, with revenues growing from $120 million to nearly $9 billion a decade later. His contributions to EMC continued as he served as Executive Chairman of EMC's Board through 2005 when he was instrumental in leading all facets of corporate governance. Ruettgers has been named one of the "World's Top 25 Executives" by BusinessWeek; one of the "Best Chief Executive Officers in America" by Worth Magazine; one of the "25 Most Powerful People in Networking" by Network World.
Gigamon has created a new market around a revolutionary way to access and monitor all of your network data traffic at a fraction of the cost. Founded in 2004 and choosing not to raise institutional capital, the company achieved profitability by the end of 2005. From 2006 to 2010, Gigamon experienced 55% year over year growth while still being bootstrapped. In 2010, with demand increasing and growth accelerating, the strategic decision was made to partner with Highland Capital Partners. Highland invested $22.8 million to fund global expansion and further expand the company's market leadership position.

The 47 Percent's solution Polls forever show people who don't drink booze support raising alcohol taxes, especially when the alternative is to raise taxes they pay. Ditto non-smokers when it comes to raising tobacco taxes on the 20 percent of Americans who still smoke. Don't own a car? Who cares how high vehicle taxes and fees go? So it's no surprise that when 47 percent of Americans pay no income taxes, CBS News exit polls last week found 47 percent of Americans support raising taxes on the top 1 percent who already pay 37 percent of all income taxes vs. raising taxes on everyone. Never mind that too much spending, not too little taxing, is responsible for the federal government's epic fiscal crisis. This is tyranny of the majority at its very worst, especially when "soaking the rich" will mean only $32 billion more a year, at best, for the Treasury, or enough to cover a mere 2.5 percent of the $1.3 trillion it borrows annually to meet its expenses.

OCLC WorldShare™ License Manager at a glance
License Manager is a unique electronic resource management solution that consolidates the management of link resolution with vendor, licensing and subscription management.
- Library staff will save time by managing access to all library resources in a single location—the WorldCat database. The WorldCat knowledge base holdings that power the License Manager's linking functionality synchronize automatically with WorldCat every day. Once your library's local data is present in the WorldCat knowledge base, that information automatically updates appropriate records in WorldCat.
- For Cataloging subscribers, this means near real-time synchronization of print and electronic holdings in WorldCat.
- For WorldCat Local or WMS subscribers, this means no additional uploading or synchronization of licensed resources with local catalogs and instant access to licensed resources for your end users.
- For Resource Sharing subscribers, this means instantly streamlined ILL, through syndication of lending rights to WorldCat Resource Sharing and ILLiad.
- License Manager uses the same WorldShare interface as all other WorldShare services (metadata, interlibrary loan, circulation, acquisitions) and is available in the following languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish. The language is configurable within the user interface.
- The integration of License Manager with OCLC's WorldShare™ Acquisitions centralizes budgeting, ordering and receiving workflows related to licensed resources. Specifically, WMS Acquisitions supports ordering licensed content using data in the WorldCat knowledge base in the same interface used for ordering physical materials.
- License Manager is a vendor-neutral service that interoperates across library management systems, allowing for KBART-formatted exports of profiled knowledge bases for integration with other library management systems.
- License Manager is built on the OCLC WorldShare™ Platform that allows library staff and others to create applications that enhance current features and bridge information to other systems.
- License Manager provides analytics that inform library management decisions. COUNTER-compliant statistics are aggregated in the OCLC statistics portal at www.stats.oclc.org.
- License Manager provides customizable workflows that accommodate:
- Negotiation of licenses with content providers
- Evaluation of trial subscriptions
- Registration and configuration of access credentials, including support for EZproxy.

She discussed how "Crescendo" speaks to women in very difficult circumstances and how she wants to raise money for pregnancy centers nationwide with special screenings. A million dollars has already been raised but the goal is ten million.
Pattie also talked about her relationship with Justin and how she still keeps a motherly eye on him even though he's on tour.

We replace the Mansfield all the time for better products.

Players must decide on match formats in Craven League, says league secretary
7:00pm Monday 30th December 2013 in Sport By Bill Marshall, T&A Sports Reporter
On the back of a season in which 39 fixtures were conceded in league or cup, Mewies Solicitors Craven League secretary Ann Coe said the League must listen to the players in order to find a solution to the problem.
In her annual report, Coe said: "I don't really understand what happened in July, but for some reason clubs started to concede matches, and this gradually got worse as the season progressed.
"Trevor (fixture secretary Coe) has all the statistics and tells me we lost 39 fixtures in the league and cup competitions. I wouldn't like to try and begin to explain what went wrong in the second half of the season - all I know is we need to work and find a solution.
"Do our cricketers want to play less overs, play less games, start earlier so they have their Saturday nights free to socialise and not play on a Sunday?
"I don't know what they want but I do know that as a league we have to listen to the players, we have to provide them with a form of cricket they want, otherwise we won't survive.
"The executive committee's first attempt at change is the cup competitions. Clubs are invited to enter this year, rather than it being compulsory.
"We will know in January if enough clubs are interested in competing or not."
Much better news concerned the Manorlands Plate match (an internal battle between Yorkshire and Lancashire-based players from the Craven League), the league dinner, the Nidderdale Show and the league's new disciplinary rules.
Coe said: "Nick Burton had a cracking idea to have a Lancashire Select team play a Yorkshire Select team.
"I know Yorkshire won convincingly, but this is too good an idea to scrap. I propose that we play it again next year and maybe get the batters to retire at 50, and what I would love is a stronger team for the Lancashire side.
"So I appeal to some of those Lancashire lads who moaned after the event that the league had no intention of letting Lancashire win - come out and play and help us raise money for the hospice.
"The Nidderdale Show invited us to play again, which I consider is still an honour to be chosen.
"The weather was wonderful and our league put out our strongest side for a few years and we won by 74 runs in a high-scoring game.
"The league dinner was quiet simply fantastic. The venue was wonderful, the food was tremendous and didn't the trophies look stunning on that stage!
"We have found our new home at Rolls Royce and, as agreed at the last meeting, I have booked again for next year on Friday, October 17, so please pencil that date in your diaries.
"Our new disciplinary rules that see clubs dealing with problems before they get to the league is working well.
"Those clubs who have had disciplinary issues this season are to be congratulated on how they handled the issues."
Coe also wished Cullingworth good luck in the Halifax League, and hoped that newcomers Hepworth & Idle settle well in the Craven League and have many years of enjoyable cricket.

Tip of the month Recognize employees often and in small ways. The reason? The frequency of praise is more important than its size. If you stake too much on an occasional big incentive, you may lose employees who think they're not valued.
Book of the month Ultimate Rewards by Steven Kerr (Harvard Business School Press, 1997) calls on those at the forefront of business thinking--Peter Drucker, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Noel M. Tichy--to speak about what motivates people to achieve. The book, an anthology of already existing works, is balanced by a couple of pieces on why incentives don't work, including one by Alfie Kohn that created quite a sensation when it was first released in '93. Says Kohn, "Few people take the time to examine the connection between incentive programs and problems with workplace productivity and morale. Rewards buy temporary compliance, so it looks like the problems are solved."
Sensation of the month W New York has turned the concept of the "business hotel" upside down (or perhaps, right side up). Here, the guest rooms were designed to be a guest's own secret garden, with boxes of sea pebbles, dried flowers, potpourri, personal CD players, and comfy down comforters. Famed designer David Rockwell's lobby, with its art-glass windows and subtle palette of earth tones, is a relaxing, restorative sanctuary from the outside world. Even the organic cooking style of the lobby restaurant, appropriately named Heartbeat, mirrors the hotel's theme of well-being.
The 722-room W New York, located on Lexington Avenue and 50th Street (formerly the Doral), is the first of 13 such hotels expected to open during the next year, all to be managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
Web Site of the month Unlike many sites that claim to be crafted by meeting experts, this one really has been. There are online surveys done with visitors to the site and content changes frequently enough for you to want to come back. Features: a section called "Meeting Advisor," which answers visitors' questions (like how to deal with a difficult attendee); downloadable "Meeting Guides" on everything from brainstorming to nonverbal messages at meetings; a bookstore targeted to meeting subjects; and a monthly online newsletter.
Quote of the month "The length of a meeting rises with the square of the number of people present."

Bought a Single Family home in 2009 for approximately $100K in Corydon, IN.
In 2009 I was looking to move from a rural location to a residential area close to schools and stores. I called Jeremy Ward and in six weeks we found the home that suited my situation. It only took ninety days to wrap everything up. Jeremy will work to put you in a good home. He has many resources and options available to keep you from becoming bogged down in your search for a home.

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Elizabeth, IN.
I have used Jeremy and his team for my last 4 or 5 houses and he gets better every time ! If you tell him what you want and what you need he will listen and get you as close to your wish as he can . What also makes him very good is he will give you his honest opinion on the house you are buying or selling he which is what you need cause if you have someone that will tell you what you want to hear it don't help you at all very honest and trustworthy ! In my opinion he isn't looking for this one deal from you he is looking for you to come back and use him in 5 10 or 20 years after the deal you are working which makes him the one and only person I would use on any deal I have thanks Jeremy for a fast 3 week sell and that should show everyone if you do what he recommends you will get a good outcome !! Thanks Adam Bratcher

Bought a home in 2013.
Over an 18 month period, I had several different Realtors show me various properties, but Dave Davis with Jeremy Ward Team was the only one I truly consider to be a professional. Many of the Realtors that I dealt with did not listen to what I was looking for and would take me to properties that had NONE of my must haves, but from the first time Dave showed me a property I was interested in, until he found the house that was to be mine, he never strayed from my interests. Dave, went above and beyond for me and I can't thank him enough for staying so vigilante to find me a home that I love. Dave has a wonderful and contagious, optimistic attitude that really helped me when I was getting discouraged. If you are tired of a Realtor that makes you feel like they are not listening to your needs, must haves,etc. than you owe it to yourself to call The Jeremy Ward Team.

Bought a home in 2011.
My wife and I have been dealing with Jeremy for several years. We had very specific requirements which made finding a new home difficult. Attention to detail was key. When it came to understanding home owners associations and deed covenants, Jeremy got us the details and developer's legal interpretation. He also went the extra mile arranging for a heating contractor to evaluate and correct a HVAC problem, made sure during the recent deep freeze the new home was properly heated to prevent any damage and also able to evaluate any construction and problem issues giving us a better assessment of the state of the each candidate house. We would definitely recommend Jeremy to anyone looking to buy a residence.

Jeremy and his team are awesome! Very helpful and love working with him! He has helped me with building/buying my first house in 2010 and in 2013 he helped me with buying some land to build on. He has also helped with the building process, on our new land. He is easy to work with, to the point no sugar coating it! He is very honest and reliable!

Sold a home in 2013.
I appreciate the time Jeremy spent explaining the situation and prospects. He met with me for coffee and at the property. He seemed very knowledgeable about prospects in the area and encouraged patience since it took many months for the farm property to sell.

Bought a home in 2013.
I had an awesome experience with Dave Davis. He helped us through the home buying process, which was a lot more intense than we had expected being first time home-buyers. The assistant, Heather, was very helpful when it came to filling out paperwork and helping us to close as close to on time as possible.

Down to the wire on pen names
Okay, so you may remember me as the girl with all the ridiculous pen name options from a while ago. My real name is Bailey Suzanna Sh- and my last name is hyphenated and somewhat unpronounceable. I've kind of settled on Suzanna as the first name. My main options for the whole name are Suzanna Sidney and Suzanna Sparrow. I like the alliteration in both of the names, so I think I want to stick with that. Sidney is a family name and I have a lot of ties to it, so I'd like to use it, but I can't get over how romantic and mysterious Sparrow sounds. Some other options that friends have suggested are Suzanna Sinclair, Suzanna Stone, and (I know this isn't alliterative but it's just so gorgeous) Suzanna Finnigan.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'm pretty much open to anything except Suzanna Bailey. I know that seems like an easy choice, but for a number of reasons I'm not going that way. Anything else would be greatly appreciated.

climate capsule delivers people's messages to copenhagen
The multi-media Climate Capsule included a floodwall, four sonic pipes with mp3 players and loudspeakers, flood-related textiles for walls and tables, a DVD, four mp3 audiotapes, banners, photos, drawings and pictures. 3,000 stickers with Climate Capsule messages were also distributed, along with flyers, and materials about FoEI's Flood for Climate Justice Action and Angry Mermaid award.
Friends of the Earth Finland also brought performance group Melting Ice to the Klimaforum and COP-15, and their performances in the halls and on the streets included messages from the Climate Capsule.
what was learned
The Climate Capsule was a popular installation with visitors to the Klimaforum and generated a great deal of discussion about climate justice. People were surprised by the concept, especially because it didn't focus too specifically on the negotiations. Visitors who had been present at official negotiations in the Bella Center also tended to be happy to see and listen to the messages, which provided a refreshing break from the tedium of negotiations.
The technical nature of the installation meant that some initial difficulties were experienced, although these were largely overcome. The delivery of messages could also be refined in future, to encourage visitors to stay, look and listen for longer, and to engage with the interactive devices more effectively.

The city of Tel Aviv is 102 years old. It gave birth when immigrants from Europe came pouring into Israel. Due to the overcrowded conditions in the ancient Mediterranean city of Jaffa, in April 1909, a few dozen families decided to build a suburb. At the time, there were only a couple of streets in Tel Aviv, along with piles of deep sand and some citrus groves. The Tel Aviv population grew quickly; Meir Dizengoff, the head of the local council, realized that he needed to design a well thought out plan for the expansion of Tel Aviv.
He hired Sir Patrick Geddes, a Scottish urban planner, biologist, and philosopher, along with a plethora of other talents.
"This is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests."
- Patrick Geddes
Gedde's plan was to make Tel Aviv a garden city with tree lined pedestrian boulevards and a separation between main and residential streets. His design included shared public spaces; squares and parks on major boulevards and in residential areas.

The latest NBC News poll finds that nearly two-thirds of Americans back President Obama's decision not to release the photos taken after Osama bin Laden's death.
Fifty-two percent said they strongly believe the Obama administration should not release the photos, and an additional 12 percent agreed, although not as strongly.
By comparison, 24 percent said they strongly believe the photos should be released, and 5 percent more agreed not so strongly.
On Wednesday, the Obama administration announced it would not be releasing the photos, even though some politicians claimed they were needed to prove to the public and world that bin Laden was dead. However, on Friday, al Qaeda confirmed that bin Laden was killed.
The survey -- which will be released in full Monday night -- was conducted by Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart and Republican pollster Bill McInturff, and it was taken of 800 adults (100 reached by cell phone) from May 5 through May 7. It has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.

Healthcare IT and clinical testing
Tuesday - 3/12/2013, 7:18pm EDT
Many will argue that improving healthcare IT will reduce the cost that Americans pay.
Both of these aspects of the federal government come together when you consider clinical testing.
Clinical testing is, of course, the way new drugs are scientifically tested over a long period of time to assure users that the benefits outweigh the risks.
Today, these tests must comply with regulation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Today's guest is Tony Varano, the founder and CEO of a company called DSG.
His company has spent the past twenty years working with companies to help them comply with the rigorous processes that the FDA has for vetting medicine.
They have been at 25,000 sites, participated in 1,000 clinical trials, worked with 400 companies in over 90 countries.
During the interview, Varano discusses best practices for collecting data and also gives some suggestions for making improvements in the process.
