A very bad night
Posted by Shanpan on 08/01/2004
TORONTO -- We had many problems at this hotel!
We were scheduled to spend two nights on the return portion of our trip and cancelled our reservation because we were so dissatisfied with this first night.
We should have demanded our money back and moved on to another hotel, however, we know nothing of Toronto and that would have been a huge inconvenience.
My concerns:
1) Another guest was given a key to our room -- Imagine our surprise to have someone walk right in!
Front desk staff were not even slightly concerned about this.
My child suffers from anxiety, and did not sleep at all that night (so then, none of us did) because she was terrified that someone else would come into our room during the night.
This was totally unacceptable!
2) I had called ahead regarding use of debit card as a method of payment.
Nothing was mentioned until we arrived about the additional $60 deposit.
This was an annoyance but we paid without complaint.
This may seem insignificant or something that a seasoned traveller would know, but I think it should be made clear as not everyone will know this.
3) Then I tried to make a collect phone call and couldn't dial out.
When I inquired at the desk they told me that I couldn't make any calls if I was paying by debit. This was not mentioned at the point of reservation or check in and definitely should have been.
I wound up having the debit refunded and switching to Visa.
Again, if this is standard policy, then guests should be made aware of the limitations that their method of payment presents -- what is the point of the $60 deposit when the money was in the bank before I set foot in my room?
4) Shuttle service was very poor.
When I made the reservation I was told that a shuttle from the airport to the hotel ran every 10 minutes. We waited 55 for the van to arrive.
Then the driver chose to cater to other passengers and we actually had to drive right past our hotel so that they could be dropped off first!
She also said to allow an extra hour and a half in the morning for service because things are busy. Choosing this hotel was based on close and quick transportation to and from the airport as we were travelling with a child.
When you make a reservation based on "shuttle service every 10 minutes" then you should be justified in expecting that.
Our driver the second day made the ride a knuckle biter -- he sped, swerved, and all of the passengers were jostled in the back -- it was a relief to get out and to get there in one piece.
5)I was told at reservation that the rooms had high speed internet access -- at check in I asked about hooking up my laptop and was told that there was no internet service in the rooms.
There was a machine in the lobby but it didn't work (staff should have put a sign on it -- instead they watched people try to make it work by putting their money in).
Frustrated, I went down to the desk again later and asked about dial up service - a different clerk told me to use the lamp jack in the room.
This jack didn't work -- I discovered in the morning that you would have to move the lamp over by the phone for a cord to be plugged in -- I assumed that if I was told to plug into the lamp that it should be hooked up and ready to go.
I did end up plugging into the phone and getting on line eventually that way. For my quick stints online I incurred large phone call charges on my room bill. I could have used several hours on the machine downstairs (had it been working) for the same amount that I was charged to use dial up in the room.
6) The overall smell of the hotel was really quite awful. All three of us were stuffed up and spent much of the night sneezing and coughing. At least the rooms didn't smell quite as bad as the lobby and hallways!
7) I had to make four trips to the front desk to get my key re-activated.
8) I spent a lot of time down at the front desk -- based on the treatment of my concerns as well as what I saw happening with other guests, I came away with a clear impression that providing sub-standard service was just the way things went. Staff really didn't seem at all concerned by anyone else's concerns and complaints. They even made comments about other guests in front of those waiting at the desk.
Based on this experience I would never consider staying in this particular hotel again.
Although all BW hotels are independently owned and operated, it is true that one bad apple spoils the barrel. It reflects badly enough that I also wouldn't consider staying with Best Western again unless it was a last resort.
We were travelling to the U.S. for our daughter to receive specialized medical care. This was the first night of our journey, and thank God the rest of it wasn't as bad as the beginning.

Danger and Stolen Items
Posted by Twister Sister on 10/22/2004
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- About 20 employees staying at the Amarillo Inn on Coulter Blvd. in Amarillo, Texas. Oct. 13-18,2004.
One employee noticed a custom-made silver lapel pin was missing and reported it to the front desk on Sunday. Monday morning, when the manager (Paula) was on duty, she said she had not been informed of the incident. Four other employees that were also waiting to check out said "wait just one minute..." and reported that they also had items missing from their rooms.
On returning to the corporate office 8 of the 20 employees had a report of something wrong. Three said they had returned to their rooms on Friday night to find their rooms unlocked and the doors ajar. Six others said they had various items which had been stolen, including expensive cosmetics, jewlery, hairbrush and travelling hairdryer, and 'goodie bags'. One employee said on Friday afternoon when she arrived her 'goodie bag' was on her bed but by Friday evening when she returned from dinner it had been taken.
My biggest complaint is with Paula, the manager. She does not act concerned about rooms being open -- possible robberies, rapes or worse! She keeps insisting "this has never happened before." We suggested that she read the electronic locks to see which employee key card was used to unlock the rooms that were standing open. She said she didn't know how to do that!
We just want to warn others of the danger of staying at this hotel.

Why does Best western build a motel so close to a
train track. I never got a wink of sleep on the night 5-09/5-10. the trains run every 30 minutes.And it sounded like they were coming right into the room. I will never use a best western motel in Gallop, N.M. again.

Perhaps the train tracks were put there AFTER the motel was built? (I have no way of knowing one way or the other, of course, but it seems somewhat possible)

In the Dark--Intentional Black Out Without Notice
Posted by Cgraunke57 on 10/14/2013
LUSK, WYOMING -- The Problem:
We stopped at the Best Western Lusk hotel because of the many bill boards on our journey from Mount Rushmore to Casper. The bill boards advertised a hot breakfast. Since we have always had good experiences with Best Western we decided to book a room.
Once establishing that there was a room available and a rate that was satisfactory, we checked in. After we checked in we were informed that there would be no hot breakfast as there would be some electric outage that would prevent making a hot breakfast. Although we were not happy with this (especially since she told us after we checked in), we did not think that was an overwhelming reason to go elsewhere. We were not informed that there would be no electricity in our hotel room. I am aware that the hotel believes that the clerk did inform us, and perhaps she thought she had, but she did not (both my husband and I were there).
At about 6:30 am I went to take a shower and there was no electricity. As you may be aware it is extremely dark in the bathroom as there are no windows in the bathroom in our unit. I am sure that you will agree that the ability to take a shower in a safe environment (having light) in a fundamental part of renting a room. Although we could enter the ice room with our room key, we were not able to get any ice as the electricity was out.
The Remedy:
I am requesting a 50% refund of our room rate. We paid $99 (with tax $107). The reason I feel strongly about this is that, apparently, the electrical outage was known and not some random event. Charging customers full price for only partial service is an intentional breach of our contract (we pay you money for a room and you give us a room with a bed, bathing facilities, toilet). Further the advertised a hot breakfast was not provided. If we had known that there would be no electricity (which your motel did know) we would have continued on our trip.

100% Crooks! Horrible Hotel
Posted by Juneberrymore on 07/04/2013
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It started with all the outlets were broke in the room. We could not turn on any lights nor charge our phone. In order to have any light we used the very loud bathroom/fan light which kept up my kids. The ac unit is on the way out as well and took hours to cool this very small room. It was extremely loud. The TV had terrible reception so watching anything we had to look threw lines. The fridge was 100% broken so all our food and drinks spoiled. Wi fi was so bad that we never got a strong enough signal to get access to internet. There was a large gap under the door to the outside big enough to put a sandal all the way outside while door was closed. Hello Bugs ! We tried to go down to the vending machine to just learn they were both out of order. We then tried to go to the pool and there was no pool lights. Zero. This place is so run down. Swimming in pitch black no thanks.. kids felt scared. When we went to bed we smelled the sheets.. Yuck!!! The next morning I went to make coffee and noticed the coffee straws were all previously used.. GROSS! I just had enough. I went to the front desk and the girl got her Super visor which was so rude.. She could care less that anything was wrong. She offered me ten dollars back and said thanks for coming. I have sense tried to reach the hotel Manager and verified he was in fact on property when I called several times but was put to his voice mail. He has never called back. I have left several messages. I believe this hotel is running a scam..
I can't understand why they continue to rent this room out knowing all these things were wrong. I will never go back.

Best Western has a website. Send a complaint email from their site. Make sure you tell them the location, etc. Look on your receipt for the exact info. They need to know about this location. It is the fault of the local franchisee, not Best Western corporate, tho they are supposed to check on them---which they apparently do not, at least often enough.

Flooded Room and Rude Employees
Posted by Tony2050 on 06/24/2013
CARPINTERIA, CALIFORNIA -- I arrived at our hotel and checked in. They gave me a room that was already occupied. There was a couple laying in bed watching TV . They gave us another room on the first floor and at 2:30 am the second floor bathroom flooded. Water was entering through the light fixtures and running down the walls flooding the carpet. The next day maintenance brought in large noisy fans to dry out the mess. They would not give us another room. Our key cards had to be changed 3 times. Someone in the room next to us was playing the violin after midnight and to finish it off, the front desk employees were rude as if I was disturbing them.
I will not recommend them to anyone.

Unhappy With Hotel and Workers
Posted by Kimberlykluber on 04/18/2013
WEST COVINA (GARVEY ST), CALIFORNIA -- Myself, sisters, mother, aunt and children all stayed at the Best Western on Garvey ave in Covina California on Friday 4-12 through 4-16. We came to town to see our grandmother all the way from Oregon and Montana! We were only in the hotel in the evenings because we were visiting family during the days.
On Sunday was our first problem, I sent my daughter to grab shampoo from the desk and the gentleman was very snotty and rude to her about coming down alone, so he called me in the room and was very rude about it! I am a paying customer and if I want to send my daughter for shampoo then it is my business. Then on Monday night we got back to the hotel around 9 pm and my sister and mother were going to take our kids down to the pool to swim for a bit. The kids ran down the hall to the elevator, they were not loud.
When they got to the 1st floor the employee greeted them with crossed arms telling them that our kids are too loud and people are complaint and sick with diabetes, my family told the guy well our kids have not been here all day and we are just going down to let them get energy out, we haven't had any complaints yet so it must not have been our children. When the employee was rude back that put my family on the defense! The employee told my family he was going to send out the sick man to talk to them! Sure enough he came out and started yelling at my sister, and excuse my language but he said, " you are a wh0#€, s!ut, c*nt, and if you wouldn't have opened your legs you wouldn't have these problems running around!" Then he asked her if she wanted to fight!!!!
My sister feeling threatened gave him a push. Well the cops were called and came up banging on my door at 930 pm. After talking with them and they even said they questioned why the employee would send another guest out after he was clearly angry.. So the cops left and we thought everything was ok! Come 430 am my sisters car alarm starts going off and she had a few attempts of someone trying to bust the windshield and when that didn't work they busted the back windows out. The cops were called back again! We tried talking to the front desk to talk with a manager and all we got was a run around, the manager will be in at 1230. Well we were supposed to be on the road at 5 am and it was now 9am we can't wait any longer with a 13 hour drive ahead if us.
So I left my name and number and at about 7 pm a man calls me to try and resolve the matter and I'm not 100 percent sure but I think he said his name was Marty!? Well he apologized and tried saying it was the angry customer who was just out to fight and his employee couldn't handle it himself so the guy took it upon himself to deal with it and was really trying to make it better. I asked for my mothers, aunts and my rooms refunded but all he said he could do was give us 2 nights free in that hotel whenever we want! Well after all that has happened and the very rude mr. Martin at the desk none if us will ever stay there ever again! We all would like to be refunded our money. Our rooms were 220, 222,223

Scammed out of $500 for bogus smoking fee
Posted by Bmcgee388 on 03/27/2013
OREGON, CALIFORNIA -- I am from out of town and frustrated by what happened during my visit to Portland, I need help exposing this scam and assuring that businesses do not engage in unscrupulous tactics such as this. My recent stay at Best Western Inn at the Meadows has been one of the worst travel experiences of my life. I was falsely, and unlawfully charged a $500 a smoking fee despite the fact that smoking did not occur in the room. The manager is basing this solely on his discriminatory opinion and bias. My credit card was initially charged $500 on 3/23/13 for a smoking fee, that charged was reversed soon after, a subsequent charge of $352.68 was made on 3/23/13, the charge for $352.68 was then voided and my card was again unlawfully charged $500. This is a blatant attempt to steal my money. I fully comprehended the non-smoking policy, and I was well aware of the fees associated with violation of this policy.
Also, having worked in Property Management for several years, and being a non-smoker myself, I completely understand and agree with this policy. I checked in on 3/22/13 directly off of a flight from Hawaii. I was only physically in the room for approximately eleven hours total before exiting the property for over 24 hours at around 11:00am on the 3/23/13. I left Portland for the night to continue my vacation and upon return around 10:30pm the following night I noticed neither of my door keys worked. I proceeded to the front desk, showed my identification and returned to my room to rest after a very long day. The front desk then proceeded to call my room near midnight, demanding I come down to discuss something. In all of my years of staying at hotels dispute, issue, or whatever the situation I have never been instructed to get out of bed at midnight, put on my clothing, and engage in dialogue with the front desk clerks, not even management, to settle a matter. When I arrived at the front desk I was greeted by a very rude and unprofessional employee that was not previously at the desk when I was there earlier, (fixing my keys that coincidentally had been deactivated). This employee proceeded to shove a paper across the desk at me instructing me to sign a "smoking fee." I immediately disputed this! It was past midnight, I had no idea what was going on, this is the first I've ever heard of such a thing, I had not smoked in the room or even been there for 24 hours for that matter. There is no basis for this charge other than assumption and no evidence irrefutable, conclusive, or otherwise that smoking occurred in the room.
Furthermore, I was not provided with proof that services for a room recovery were actually completed by your hotel. It is my understanding that a merchant needs my signature to validate a charge and I need proof that a violation has or had occurred and proof that services were rendered (which was not provided.) When I got upset and disputed the charge on check out the manager increased the fee from $362.68 to $500 which posted to my account on 3/25/13 subsequent to check out and following our unpleasant discussion! This was was unauthorized and charged solely because he didn't like what I had to say to him. The manager has been completely uncooperative, unfair, unkind, and unprofessional. He has failed to provide any contact information for anyone besides himself, he stated he was owner and manager and I had to go through him. He gave me nothing written, provided no dispute policy, and said I had no recourse, it was his opinion I had smoked therefore I was paying the fee. I am currently working with my financial institution to fight these unauthorized charges and recoup my losses.
I am in no way paying any $500 smoking fee charged to my account by the Best Western Inn at the Meadows, for the simple fact that no one smoked in the room. Each establishment is independently owned, however, Best Western Inn at the Meadows is a horrible example of what a customer service oriented business should be. I sincerely hope my experience wasn't indicative of how they treat all of their guests. Having worked both in the customer service industry and management, along with traveling frequently, I am still having trouble conveying to you how astounded I am by the unprofessional treatment by those working at Best Western Inn at the Meadows and their theft of $500.

If you haven't done so yet, you may want to file an official complaint at:
and after that you can contact Best Western corporate (6201 N. 24th Parkway, Phoenix, AZ 85016) at [602] 957-4200 and let them know they have a problem at this franchise location.

And also make sure that your credit card company does not pay the charge.
Posted by JAKFK on 2013-03-27:
I always have a separate debit card with $0 balance that I keep for hotel reservations and such. When deserving the room online, they only need a card # to hold the reservation. Then whenever I'm checking in, I ask to pay with cash. Nearly every hotel I've ever stayed at, will also ask for anywhere between a $50-$100 cash deposit. And that has always been returned at the time of our check out. On occasion, there have been a couple of high-end hotels (Vegas) that don't accept cash, so I simply transfer the exact amount onto my card. I absolutely refuse to give authorized or unauthorized access to my regular credit card, only to find out later that I've been charged for smoking, or an extra set of pillows that housekeeping made off with. If ever the day comes that a particular hotel won't accept either cash or my debit card, then I'll exercise the power of the almighty dollar by driving down the road til' I find someone else who will.
Posted by JR in Orlando on 2013-03-27:
The problem is this is a he said/she said case. You say you him did not smoke in the room, the hotel says you did. I would consult with an attorney in your area to see if you can sue Marriott in California in small claims court. If you do that, you would want to request certain information:
A) all receipts showing that they cleaned the room for smoke damage after your stay;
B) record showing whether the room was rented the following night after you left;
C) past records of tenants in your room, showing whether they had been charged a smoking fee. If the tenant within the last week before you had been charged with the smoking fee, that would indicate that the smell of smoke was from them, not you.
Good luck on this.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever!
Posted by Bpartner on 02/23/2013
MCGEE, MISSISSIPPI -- I stopped there on my way to a larger town due to bad weather and it was close to the interstate. BAD MISTAKE. As with many motels/hotels now-a-days, the staff can't speak good English ( SONIL INC is the owner), but that was not that big of a deal. After I got to sleep I was woke about 11pm with the sounds of slamming doors and kids screaming and running up and down the hallway. I finally called the front desk and complained with no luck. I was woke two more times and I continued to report this without ANY help at all, the night clerk was totally a waste of time, said there was nothing he could do, if I would have been running up and down the hallways they would have kicked me out. Therefore at 12pm (midnight) I packed up and went downstairs and and checked out and drove in the blinding rain for over an hour to where I got another room and finally got to bed at 2am. I am complaining to their corp office.
I WILL NEVER stay there or any other BEST WESTERN EVER AGAIN!!!!!

The root cause of the problem was other guests who were rude. I can distinctly recall the last time I experienced this, some 8 years ago. There isn't much a clerk can do in many cases to control this kind of thing. A loud air conditioner or fan can come in handy.

Best Western is a group of independent hotels who use a central reservation and purchasing system. They are supposed to meet standards, but many have deteriorated.
If you have the opportunity, use a site such as tripadvisor to check any hotel before you arrive.
That said, the hotel should have taken steps to control the noise from the guests.

Horrible service
Posted by Montha_guatero on 11/13/2012
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I would like to share my resent stay at Best Western Seven Sea in San Diego. I was planning a 2 day trip to San Diego to spend a day at the San Diego Zoo and a day at SeaWorld. I was traveling alone on a mini vacation. I knew I wanted to stay at a well known hotel/motel with a good reputation. I have stayed at Best Western all over the country including many trips oversea. I like that the Best Western Seven was in hotel circle and it was close to all the major attractions, restaurant and provided a shuttle service. I was going to be traveling alone and need a set plan to go by so I called Best Western Seven Sea to ask them about their shuttle service. I explain my travel plans, I was going to be flying in on 11/7/12 at 9am and I was going to take a taxi straight to the zoo and that I would need to catch the shuttle back to the hotel. On 11/8/12 I was going to need a ride to SeaWorld and then I was going to need a ride back, so that I could catch a ride to the airport to catch my flight back to Houston. I was told that the shuttle will pick up at the Zoo at 4:30pm everyday. The hotel shuttle would be picking up their guest at the hotel at 9:30am to take them to SeaWorld and the shuttle would be picking up the guest from SeaWorld at 5:30pm to bring them back to the hotel. I told the person at Best Western that that was perfect and that I would be booking my trip with them. After that I booked my trip. A week before my trip I called Best Western to confirm the shuttle schedule and was told to call the day I arrived.
On 11/7/12 9:00am my flight landed so on my way to the zoo in the taxi I called Best Western to let them know that I was going to be checking in at 5:00pm and that I would need to catch the shuttle at 4:30pm. The girl who I spoke with just said to wait outside the zoo at 4:30pm, she was quick to hang up on me but I stopped her and ask her what kind of shuttle should I be looking for. At 4:30pm I was standing in front of the zoo looking for the shuttle but I didn't see one, so at 4:35pm (my phone shows that was the time I called Best Western) I called Best Western to ask if the shuttle was running late. I was told to hold and the girl got back on the phone to tell me that the shuttle already left. Left? When did this shuttle pick? Did this shuttle bother to stop or did the shuttle just drove by??? How is it that the shuttle came at 4:30 but was long gone at 4:35????? I ask the girl who they picked up cause it wasn't me. I was put back on hold then she came back on the line to tell me that they picked up the one person who was schedule to be picked up and that person wasn't me. I told her how I called 6 weeks ago and I also called a week ago and I called earlier that morning explaining that I needed the shuttle to pick me up from the zoo. So told me that the shuttle could come back for me in 2 hours. How is it possible that a shuttle that was to arrive at 4:30 was so far away by 4:35 that it would take them 2 hours to come back for me? I explained to the girl that I was traveling alone and that I didn't know anyone in San Diego. With the time change for daylight saving it got darker faster and it colder really fast. I explain all this to the girl and she just told me to call a taxi or I could just wait till 6:30 for the shuttle then she hung up on me. I sat on the bench and waiting for almost 2 hours in the cold and dark waiting for the shuttle. It got so cold that a girl selling t-shirt felt sorry for me and offered me a ride to the hotel. Thanks for nothing Best Western!!
When I arrived at the hotel to check in I ask her where the shuttle was and sure enough the shuttle and the driver arrived. I guess I was not important enough to come pick up. All the girl said to me was that it's wasn't 6:30 yet and that the shuttle would have picked me up at 6:30! Are you serious? Is this how you guys ran business? How do you stay in business? I then asked for the manager and was told that the manager would be out all week and that one of the little girl was in change. If you call ignoring me and turning her back on me whispering to her coworker being in charge. Everyone there was rude and blame me for not being checking in that morning. I told them that I called 3 times in 6 weeks to confirm the shuttle service schedule and everyone all told me the same thing and I was rushed off the phone. I was like okay Best Western does not care about their customers nor do you care that you left a young woman at the zoo in a strange city in the cold and dark sitting on the bench. I told them that I will be up and ready the next morning to catch the 9:30am shuttle to SeaWorld and for them to please not leave me again. I got no apology or anything so I just went to my room.
The next morning as I was waiting for the shuttle I watch as a new quest checked in and wanted to catch the shuttle but they were told that the shuttle was busy and they could just call a taxi. I'm glad it wasn't just me. You guys are horrible and unreliable! As I waiting for the shuttle I notice that there was a gentle man that turn out to be the manager. What do you know you guys do have a manager? I ask him to confirm the time the shuttle was picking up because I did not want to be left again, the manager said 6:00pm! What the hell happen to 5:30? Do you guys make up schedule as you go? You are incompetence!!! After explaining to the manager that I was left at the zoo the night before he said he will have the shuttle pick me and another couple up from SeaWorld at 4:30pm. The shuttle was supposed to pick us up at 4:30 and bring us all back to the hotel. Then the shuttle would take me to the airport at 5:00 to catch my flight.
Best Western went and did it again. At 4:45 when the shuttle picked us up from SeaWorld and deliver us to the hotel. I had asked the driver if he would be going to the airport and he said NO!!!!! I got off the shuttle and went to the front desk while the shuttle drove away. I asked the front desk if a shuttle was going to the airport and the girl said it was suppose to but its not. Yes, this is really how you run business. I had to take a taxi to the airport since I was lied too again. While I waited for the taxi I watch more people come to the front desk to ask about the shuttle service and they were all told to just call a taxi.
I have never in all my years of travel see a company run this way. There is no rhime or reason or schedule in anything you do. I have stayed at hotels/motel all around the world and have never been treated like the way I was treated. It wasn't just me it was at least 6 other people that I personally witness who were turn away. I don't think I should have a to pay for a taxi when I pay for a hotel who had a shuttle service. How could you leave a paying customer at the zoo and tell them to wait 2 hours while the driver may or may not pick them up. I have told anyone that would listen what happen to me. I will never stay or let a friend stay at another Best Western. I have booked my trip to Spain with Best Western but I am cancelling it because I will not waste another penny with such an incompetence company that would treat loyal customer so poorly.

Good detailed review. It does sound like the shuttle service was lacking to say the least. I've stayed a Best Westerns before and haven't had any problems. I would suggest that you might want to consider renting a car in the future, that way, your transportation is in your hands and not up some people who apparently can't tell time. It'll add to the cost of the trip, but it may be worth it to not have to deal with other people's schedules or lack there of.
Posted by Heartland on 2012-11-14:
I also travel alone and your experience is why I always have extra cash for taxis etc. But Best Western is entirely to blame. A little extra care from them would have gone a long way, and simple decency - leaving a woman to sit in the dark. Why didn't BW send a cab for you on their dime? Especially after you made so much effort to confirm and re-confirm? Hope you post your story on Trip Advisor too!

Nuclear Monitoring
Our nuclear monitoring role
Following a Government decision in 1984, Geoscience Australia actively engages in nuclear monitoring activities on behalf of the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) (via the Australian Safeguards and Non-proliferation Office ASNO ). Australia signed the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996 and ratified the Treaty in 1998. The obligations of the Australian Government under this Treaty are detailed in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Act 1998 .
Geoscience Australia helps Australia fulfil its obligations under the CTBT by monitoring for nuclear explosions worldwide and by contributing to the development of the CTBT verification regime.
Our nuclear monitoring capabilities
State Signatories to the CTBT have committed to abstain completely from conducting or participating in any nuclear weapons test or any other nuclear explosion. In order to verify compliance with the Treaty, the CTBT mandates the establishment of a verification regime . Part of this verification regime is an International Monitoring System (IMS) comprising seismic, infrasound, hydroacoustic and radionuclide monitoring facilities supported by the International Data Centre (IDC) at the CTBT Organization (CTBTO) in Vienna. When completed the IMS will consist of 337 monitoring facilities located all over the world, capable of detecting explosions as small as a few hundred tons of TNT anywhere in the world. Currently around 80 per cent of these facilities have been built and are sending data to the IDC in real-time. Construction of the remaining IMS facilities is planned to be completed within the next few years.
Geoscience Australia is currently responsible for the operation and maintenance of nine of Australia's seismo-acoustic IMS facilities (six seismic stations, two infrasound stations and one hydroacoustic station). Additionally, Geoscience Australia is in the process of building a further two infrasound stations to complete Australia's seismo-acoustic IMS network. Construction of these stations is expected to be completed within the next three to four years.
Geoscience Australia monitors data received from the IMS, the Australian National Seismic Network (ANSN) and other international seismic monitoring networks, such as the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) networks, for the characteristic signals of large explosions. If an event of interest is detected, it is evaluated to determine its location, magnitude and its source characteristics (i.e. was it an earthquake or an explosion?). If an event is found to be consistent with a nuclear explosion, Geoscience Australia is required to notify the Australian Government and provide technical support to any Australian Government response. As part of its commitment to continually improve its capabilities, Geoscience Australia also performs research into new methods to better detect and characterise potential nuclear explosions.
Geoscience Australia actively participates in international fora dedicated to technological advances supporting nuclear non-proliferation and verification, and to the use of IMS data for civil and scientific applications. The latter include tsunami-warning and the monitoring of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

I was doing some weed-whacking in the back yard and saw this little guy, obviously scared by the noise, running with his eyes still closed...picked him up and realized a Momma rabbit has made a home for 4 little ones in the back yard. Now, 20 years ago, I'd have handled this differently...today, I tucked the little fellow back in there and have declared an albeit temporary, but, sovereign area of back yard until they can head out on their own. My, how we change as we grow more experienced.
About an hour later I went out and apparently momma is back because she closed up the opening he popped open and put some fresh fur to support the grass.
If you happen to be by the back yard...this explains the one area of HIGH GRASS...it's Bunny-Land!

SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Jake Richards
SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Jake Richards
It's crowded at the top in the B Mod division of Heartland Park Topeka's Saturday Showdown dirt track series, with four drivers within 23 points of the points lead.
And even though Edwardsville racer Jake Richards is holding down the top spot in the standings heading into this week's race, he's a bit uneasy at the top.
Richards holds a 19-point lead over Topekan Dustin Thulin, with Tecumseh's David Samuels another two points back and Bonner Springs' Ethan Isaacs, the defending track champ, two points behind Samuels.
"The funny part is, I'm in the same thing at Lakeside (in Kansas City, Kan.) on Friday night,'' Richards said. "There's a three-way battle for the lead going on right now at Lakeside on Friday night. So that makes double trouble.
"I'm high strung, stressed and my girlfriend hates that right now.''
On the other hand, the point battles serve to keep Richards on top of his game.
"It's what fuels your fire,'' he said. "It's what makes you keep doing it. The guys that help you, they can see on paper where all their hard work is paying off.
"I've won three track championships already, so I know what it takes. It's stressful, it's nerve-wracking and at any point in time it can all slip away.''
Richards, who has won two Street Stock titles at Lakeside and a Modified championship at Grain Valley, Mo., is trying to win the B Mod championship at HPT while also doubling up in the Modified class.
The double duty keeps him hopping, but he thinks it's a benefit.
"I love running both,'' Richards said. "I think that the A Mod makes me better in my B Mod because it's faster. When I'm in the B Mod it doesn't really seem fast, so maybe I'm up on the steering wheel and a little more aggressive than everybody else because I don't have that sense of speed like they've got.''
With a big chunk of the season remaining Richards said that the key the rest of the way will be consistency.
"You've got to try to run top five every week,'' he said. "In all honesty, all you can do is just try to be consistent and position yourself towards the last three nights. Usually every year it seems to boil down to where it's a three-man race.
"If you get down to where there's three weeks to go, really all you can try to do is out-run those other two guys. You don't care if you've got to win because they're running second or you've got to run 11th because they're running 12th, just as long as you're finishing in front of them.''

An excerpt from the article:
"Hot in Cleveland" focuses on three eccentric Los Angeles women, best friends "of a certain age," whose lives are forever changed when their plane unexpectedly lands in Cleveland and they rediscover themselves in this new "promised land." Loving their new home, they live under one roof, battling the property's sassy caretaker (White).
It will either be amazing or just horrid. This I believe.

I don't see how that is true. In Javascript you can add new methods to objects during runtime, so that's the same problem that prevents Python to be properly compiled, isn't it?
Javascript has the same dynamism as Python, why is Javascript still much faster?
Abraham Lincoln was deeply involved in overall strategy and in day-to-day operations during the American Civil War, 1861–1865; historians have given Lincoln high praise for his strategic sense and his ability to select and encourage commanders such as Ulysses S. Grant.[39]
To be honest, a proper green card immigrant is still preferable than H1-B, because a H1-B can be blackmailed with deportation by his employer. A green card holding immigrant is more likely to stand up for his rights than an H1-B (because the latter ties him to one specific employer).

CS culture is American male nerd culture. It's the culture of 20th century sci-fi, Dungeons and Dragons, video games, popular science, memorising digits of pi, tech gadgets, of course computers and coding.
Intrestingly most of my CS profs were unfamiliar with that culture. Maybe because they weren't Americans.
The European Parliament and the European Commission have much less power than the American federal government. We don't have the equivalent of FBI, CIA or NSA. We don't have a common army, or a federal income tax.
In my university (not in US) textbooks counted a lot for promotion, so basically every prof wrote their own, even if a satisfactory one already existed.

BOWLING GREEN — Tesha Paysen accomplished something no other LaRue County High School softball player had ever accomplished under veteran coach Mielle DiStefano.
Paysen, who graduated from LaRue County last month, was the first Lady Hawk to be named to the Kentucky All-Stars and the first player to be named an East/West All-Star in consecutive years.

Fathers, hope your daughters grow up to be like Ginny Clements. If they do, they'll be confident, intelligent, and strong enough to survive most anything.
If you find a list of the longest survivors of breast cancer, Ginny's name will undoubtedly be at the top. She is a 51-year survivor, and she says she owes it all to God. "I don't know how people who don't have any type of faith—I don't care what type it is—I don't how they survive."
Growing up in the small town of Fowler, California, population 1,869, Ginny was a popular high school student who was active in clubs, loved to dance and was the head of her school's pom-pom line. It was during her sophomore year that the attractive 15 year old, with her whole life in front of her, felt a lump in her breast. "I didn't know what it was, and I never said anything about it to my mother for four months," she recalls. "It's still hard for me to talk about it because I was pretty cut up compared to what they can do for women today. I had a radical mastectomy." The stigma of being a cancer survivor kept her from talking about it for decades afterwards, even with her family.
When Ginny sees teenage girls play sports or dance, it often reminds her of how traumatic her experience was dealing with breast cancer during adolescence. "When I got it, it seemed like only old ladies got it, and to me at that time women in their 40s were old," she says laughingly. However, her laughter quickly fades as she remembers how her devastating diagnosis and surgery brought on a flood of emotions and questions that would be extremely difficult for any woman, but especially trying for a teenage girl. "I wondered, 'What would a man think when he saw me naked? Would a man ever love me?'"
To experience life in a big city, Ginny moved to San Francisco. One afternoon she came home, and her new neighbor Tom happened to be outside and invited her up to his apartment for a drink. She says he immediately picked up the phone, called his roommate and said, "Bill I won the bet, I met our neighbor first and she's here with me having a drink." Soon Bill Clements came home, and as fate would have it, Tom went out that evening, and Bill and Ginny struck up a long conversation. Tom had won the bet but lost the bride. Ginny and Bill Clements were wed three months later. As her father drove her to the chapel, he simply said, "I'm so glad this day came."
In 1967 Ginny and Bill moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where Bill worked his way up the corporate ladder. In 1974 he moved his family to Tucson and assumed the leadership of the family beer wholesale business, Golden Eagle Distributors. Under his leadership, the company grew tremendously, adding warehouses and facilities to distribute products throughout the state. The Clements' children, Christopher and Kimberly, followed their father into the business but had only worked at the company a short time when Bill died after a fairly brief battle with metastatic lung cancer in 1995.
Ginny recalls, "One of the employees told me to go and play tennis and let the employees run the company, and I said, 'That's not going to happen.'" The day after Bill's funeral, she told herself, "I have a company to run," and she went to work. "It was an incredible learning experience because I was not only dealing with the death of a loved one, but all of a sudden I was stepping into a business I knew very little about." Her goal was to take the reigns as CEO so Christopher and Kimberly would some day have a chance to carry on the family legacy their grandfather had started. "I'm so happy they want to stay in the business. It would have been easy to sell it and move on," she says. "There were many hardships."
To learn the business from the ground up, Ginny rode in the beer trucks. She stacked beer, learned everything there is to know about beer, hoisted kegs (the empty ones) and cleaned taps. With Ginny at the helm, Golden Eagle experienced record sales and prospered. She oversaw the addition of new product lines and further expansion of their facilities. In 2003 she turned the business over to Chris and Kimberly and retired.
Ginny has served on the Arizona Cancer Center Advisory Board for more than 20 years. "Having had cancer at a very young age, I just felt that I needed to give back," she says. She and her friends developed a group called 24 Karats, later renamed Tucson Friends of the Arizona Cancer Center, to develop much-needed funds for the Center. "Bill was a great philanthropist. He taught me that as long as we have enough to do the things we want to do, we should give back to our community," says Ginny.
"Whether you give $5 or a $1 million, I think everybody should try to make a donation to the Arizona Cancer Center. Everybody is touched by cancer at some point during their lives," she says.
This past spring, Ginny made a commitment to give $50,000 annually to the Center and in addition, agreed to provide a gift of $1 million through her estate. Her gift will fund breast cancer research. "There are too many women who have breast cancer today," says Ginny. "I've been blessed with financial means, so it gives me great pleasure to give to areas I want to give to. For me, giving comes from the heart."
Ginny is also quick to count her children and two grandchildren as her blessings. "So far I've lived a wonderful life. I've had a wonderful journey. I have a great family and I have exceptional friends in the community I love very much. I'm just sad Bill's not here to enjoy it with me."
Setsuko K. Chambers, MD, Bobbi Olson endowed chair in ovarian cancer research and director of women's cancers at the Arizona Cancer Center, says, "One of 10 women in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer, accounting for the second leading cause of cancer death in women. With the majority of cancer research supported by federal grants, a constant concern for investigators is the interruption of promising projects due to rapidly diminishing federal funding. Ginny Clements' generous gift will ensure continued progress toward the cure and prevention of breast cancer."
At a fundraising event in 1987, Ginny mustered the courage to begin speaking publicly about her cancer. She says that while it is still a difficult thing to do, "that's who I am."
Inspiring and self-assured, she has come a long way. If you want to define Ginny Clements, she is the beautiful and successful woman every father hopes his daughter will become.

Seattle >Lodging > Travelodge-Seattle University
4725 25th Ave NE, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810547.663868 -122.300887
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: University District, Northeast, Northeast Seattle
Affordable Central Place to Sleep – It's an old building that appears to be going through a remodel. So I think some rooms are a little nicer than others. But hey it's a budget hotel! The prices are reasonable, and the location rocks if you are visiting UW or Children's Hospital. There is a lot of shopping, and plenty of great food just across the street. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay the night, then you have found it. Beware the parking lot is pretty tiny.
Don't stay here! – My husband and I chose this hotel because of its location, but that's ALL it has going for it. We paid $139 for a "suite" which is just a row of old college apartments behind the facility. I wouldn't mind that so much, if anything had been updated or cleaned up. The place stunk and the furniture was so filthy I put blankets on it to sit down. Our couch was so dilapidated that the cushions actualy rested BELOW the frame. When I opened the blinds , several panels fell to the floor. The bathroom had cracked or unfinished tiles everywhere. The kitchen had a few dishes, but I made a point to wash them myself because they just didn't look that clean. We used the toilet and it didn't seem to be working that great so we asked for a plunger as a preventative measure. We walked to the University Village (the only plus) and when we returned, one of our daughters used the toilet and it was definitley NOT flushing. We called the front desk and they said they couldn't move us because there was no way they could rent our room out so late(!?) They offered to let us use the office restroom for the rest of the night. That wouldn't fly with us and two kids under 10 who you KNOW will have to use the restroom in the middle of the night. My husband went down to the front desk and they eventually offered to move us upstairs. Same type of room, still filthy, but at least the toilet worked. No mention of crediting us for our troubles. Maybe the regular rooms are nicer, but I woudn't recommend this place to anyone, ESPECIALLY if you have small kids.
Worst hotel in which I've ever stayed. Beds were rock hard, the carpets smelled like stale cigarettes and hot garbage, amenities were all broken and it cost $160/night. Avoid like the plague.
They advertised a hot tub. No, this was a hole in the ground outside with decaying organic matter lining the bottom. I think there might have been small amphibians re-establishing some sort of ecosystem there.
The guy at the counter was perhaps worth the experience, though. The wireless internet didn't work ... and at 1am when we checked in ... he gave us the 800 number of the company who had installed it and told us to give them a call.
Yikes, at $160 a night, it's not my responsibility to find out why the advertised wireless internet doesn't work.
Editorial Review – Hotel located two blocks from the University of Washington offers suites with fully-equipped kitchens, free continental breakfasts and a pool.

The difference in the Bears' strength program at this point is noise.
There is more of it.
That's the noise that comes from big plates crashing to the ground after an explosive lift. And the guttural sounds men make when they try to move heavy objects.
The difference in the Bears' strength program in September should be power.
There will be more of it if the program takes root the way new strength and conditioning coordinator Mike Clark envisions it will.
Clark comes to the Bears from the Chiefs with an emphasis on explosive, multi-joint movements that are designed to increase power, which he defines as mass times velocity.
It is a subtle shift from the previous strength program, which was more geared more toward sustainable strength and injury avoidance. And it also may be a little counter trend in the NFL, as some teams have gone away from this style of training in the interest of player preservation.
"There is a lot more emphasis on power and explosion — more hang cleans, power cleans, things of that nature, core work, things that are necessary to play football," said Bears offensive tackle Jonathan Scott, who has not been in a similar weight program since he was at Texas 2002-05. "I think it's going to be very effective. It's getting back to the basics of what football is."
Gone from the Clyde Emrich Weight Room are some of the benches and machines that old strength coach Rusty Jones preferred. In their places are more Olympic style platforms and multifunctional racks.
About 80 percent of the Bears' prescribed lifts now are done from a standing position.
"I like doing things with an Olympic base, so we are doing a lot more Olympic lifts," Clark said.
It's really a return to grass roots for the Bears. When Emrich became the Bears' first strength coach in 1971, he espoused the Olympic style of lifting he had used as a world class lifter.
Philosophically, Clark is the most closely matched Bears strength coach to Emrich since Emrich stepped down as full-time strength coach 22 years ago.
"They are lifting bigger weights and will be stronger now," said Emrich, who now works in administration for the Bears and also serves as an unofficial consultant to Clark.
"Clyde and I talk daily about techniques, lifts, and how things have changed," Clark said.
Like Emrich, Clark also has a background in competitive weightlifting. He was a power lifter who figured out over time that the most explosive athletes were Olympic lifters. So he incorporated their techniques in his lifting, and then in his coaching.
Before working in the NFL for the Seahawks and Chiefs, Clark spent 22 years as a strength coach at the collegiate level, including 14 years at Texas A&M.
During his time in college, he met an assistant strength coach at a clinic. The up-and-coming coach picked his brain and they talked about techniques, velocity training and organization of training. They visited in subsequent years at conventions.
When the assistant strength coach was a candidate for the strength coach position at Navy, he asked Clark to recommend him. Clark did so without reservation.
Twenty two years later, Clark found himself being interviewed by that man. And Bears general manager Phil Emery was thrilled to hire him.

Low Elevation Coast Zone (LECZ) Urban-Rural Population Estimates, Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project (GRUMP), Alpha VersionEntry ID: CIESIN_SEDAC_GRUMP_LECZ
Abstract: The Low Elevation Coastal Zone (LECZ) Urban-Rural Estimates consists of country-level estimates of urban, rural and total population and land area country-wide and in the LECZ, if applicable. Additionally, the dataset provides the number of urban extents, their population and land area that intersect the LECZ, by city-size population classifications of <100,000, 100,000 to 500,000, 500,000 to ... 1,000,000, 1,000,000 to 5,000,000, and 5,000,000 +. All estimates are based on GRUMP alpha data products. The LECZ was generated using SRTM Digital Elevation Model data and includes all land area that is contiguous with the coast and 10 meters or less in elevation. All grids used for population, land area, urban mask, and LECZ were of 1 km (30 arc-second) resolution. This dataset is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).
The data in Microsoft Excel (XLS) format and maps in Portable Document (PDF) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) formats are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC).
Purpose: To provide estimates of urban and rural populations and land areas in the low elevation coastal zone.

You may think the season of gift-giving -- the season of cookies, of loaf cakes, of sticky caramels and candied nuts -- is long over. The time for dressing up in costume? So last October.
Enter Purim: a Jewish, end-of-winter celebration, a celebration of dressing up, of making noise, and of giving cookies, cakes, and candies. Whether you're celebrating or not, take advantage: the season of gift-giving is never over.

P.S. I love that you featured Purim, it's such a wonderful holiday and a nice time to acknowledge/reciprocate acts of friendship over the past year. Would the eds. consider adding it to the choice of holidays that we tick off when submitting recipes?

Hi creamtea -- Purim was one of the holidays we considered for that list, but we had to make some tough calls in the interest of keeping the drop-down lists manageable. We'll keep this in mind for the future though.
If you search our recipes for "Purim", it picks up the term Purim anywhere in the recipe, including the headnote. We'd love to see some of yours!

Oh, I can understand that. Thanks!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The web site was very easy to use. So many beautiful products to choose from. I am the mother of the groom, so when I was planning our family shower, and then went looking for a shower invite, I did not want anything too feminine. I simply typed in coed shower and many popped up. This one was perfect because of the colors, blue and green and Mr. and Mrs. Next we have the rehearsal dinner to plan, and there are many, many beautiful ones. Must nail down date and time before I can order. Thanks"
"We ordered wedding shower invitations and they turned out beautifully. The paper quality, wording options, ink color choices & the envelopes are excellent quality. I was referred by my sister who has used Wedding Paper Divas before and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The invitations were also delivered in a timely manner & were packaged well so no corners were bent or torn."
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This product could not be any better! I purchased the larger rectangle envelopes because they did not require extra postage. I was worried it wouldn't look right, but the evnvelopes are specially designed to fit the invitation."
"We are having 2 showers in and out of state. This invitation turned out beyond my expectations. So many people loved the photo idea for a shower invitation. I like that we can make the shower about us and not just me. It's terrific, great quality, vibrant color and they were able to customize the bar to match the shade of blue we are using in the wedding. Great product!"

Saturday night, the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs host the Florida Atlantic Owls for a night game between the hedges. Dawg Sports provides historical perspective on the college football matchup.
The Missouri Tigers knew their SEC opener against the Georgia Bulldogs was a big deal, and it turned out they were right. Mark Richt's team notched a huge win in Saturday night's college football game.
You've seen all the other previews, now check out the Dawg Sports forecast of tomorrow night's SEC football opener between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Missouri Tigers!
Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs have gotten more than their fair share of bad news this offseason, but are worse calamities in store for the Red and Black before the 2012 college football season begins?
Roughly 14 hours following the star running back's arrest on felony charges, Mark Richt dismissed Isaiah Crowell from the Georgia Bulldogs. What does this mean for player discipline and the 2012 college football season?
Mark Richt inked a top-five recruiting class on National Signing Day, but what are the chances that this year's group of highly-touted signees will turn the Georgia Bulldogs into champions in the 2012 college football season?
Who wins? Watch to find out. They are both really, really fast.
I am scheduled to appear on "The Drive" with B.J. Bennett on The Fan Sports Radio at 5:02 p.m. Eastern today to discuss Keith Marshall's commitment to Mark Richt's Georgia Bulldogs and tonight's...
Despite the outcome of the SEC Championship Game, it's been a good week for the Georgia Bulldogs, with recruit Keith Marshall committing, Isaiah Crowell being named conference freshman of the year, and Mark Richt becoming a finalist for national coach of the year.
Anxious for college football season? Tired of hearing about SEC expansion? In "Dawg bites," you can catch up on all the latest Georgia Bulldogs news, including information on Herschel Walker, David Pollack, and (perhaps) the Nike Pro Combat uniforms.

Ten things to know about the Big Ten's women's basketball tournament, which runs Thursday through Sunday at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates:
We're not in Indy any more, Toto: This is just the second time in its 19 editions the Big Ten women's tournament is not in Indianapolis. It took place at Grand Rapids. Mich., in 2001.
Six equals one: Iowa sophomore guard Melissa Dixon of far northwest suburban Johnsburg was named Big Ten sixth player of the year. In conference play, she was Iowa's No. 1 scorer (12.3 points per game) and the league's 3-point percentage leader (43).
Spoiler alert: Ninth-seeded Ohio State comes in with a three-game winning streak and six victories in its last eight games.

"(Amber) Stokes being back, they are playing at another level than they were earlier in the year," Illinois coach Matt Bollant said of the Buckeyes.
They had lost three of four with Stokes, a starter, sidelined by a knee injury.
The one who got away: Minnesota fans can only imagine how good the Gophers might be if Tayler Hill had stayed at home. Hill (20.9 points per game), an Ohio State senior from Minneapolis, and Rachel Banham (21.0), a Minnesota sophomore from Lakeville, Minn., are the top two scorers in the Big Ten. One goes home Thursday: Their teams meet in the first round.
Still frolicsome: With two freshman starters (including conference freshman of the year Maggie Lyon of New Trier), a third getting a lot of playing time and six rookies overall, Northwestern coach Joe McKeown has found himself herding wild kittens this season.
"We have various stages of practice where the ball flies everywhere, indoors and outdoors," the Wildcats coach said.
Even in March?
"Some days," he said.
No longer the Twelfth of Never: First-year Indiana coach Curt Miller likes the attitude his 12th-place Hoosiers have copped at the end of the season, beginning with an upset of the No. 22 Purdue.
"We have played with a swagger after hitting rock bottom (30-point loss to Michigan State). … They walk around campus proud to be a women's basketball player right now. When I got here, they almost didn't want to have people know they were a women's basketball player."
What's not to like: Senior Maggie Lucas of eighth-ranked Penn State is the consensus conference player of the year.
"She came in as a 3-point shooter and has grown her game to being a scorer," Nittany Lions coach Coquese Washington said. "She can create her own shots, finish with the left and right hand, (and) she's a better ballhandler."
Playing the percentages: Purdue's roller-coaster the last six weeks of the regular season reflects the ups and downs in senior Sam Ostarello's physical condition.
"Her shoulder has been 20 percent at times, 50 percent at times, then 70 percent," Purdue coach Sharon Versyp said.
The South Dakotan still managed to lead the Big Ten in rebounding and record 10 double-doubles.
No sure bet: As the only Big Ten team ranked higher than 22 and regular-season champion for a second straight year, Penn State would seem an odds-favorite. But the tourney's top seed hasn't even made the final since 2010. Last year, the Nittany Lions lost in the semis.
"There are no nights off and no bottom teams in this league the way there used to be," 13th-year Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said.
Belittled Ten at the Big Dance: No conference team has made the NCAA Final Four since Michigan State finished second in 2005. Seven Big Ten teams made the tourney last year, but five lost in the first round and only Penn State (Elite Eight) won more than one game. After five straight years of having just the fifth-best conference RPI in the nation, the Big Ten is number two this year.

So someone said something in one of the gay marriage threads about how the "Me" philosophy is way too prevalent nowadays. Was just wondering if there's anybody else here who thinks that the Me Philosophy in and of itself is actually a good thing and maybe we should actually have more of it.
And by the Me Philosophy I mean worrying about yourself and your own before you worry about others. Not saying you should be a selfish, uncaring asshole btw

Ship Mates Save the Date Magnets This could not have been easier to create and to order. The final product was of great quality and quick to process and deliver.
Exactly as I thought they would be!
Ship Mates Save the Date Magnets The magnets came out beautiful! I was pleasantly surprised! Can't wait to get them in the mail!
Make sure the magnets aren't stuck together
Ship Mates Save the Date Magnets Everyone loved the magnets and place them on the fridge right away!! Caution: Make sure you place the magnet in the envelope correctly - with the magnet side touching the silver lining of the inner envelope. And don't stack too many of them together when mailing. I mailed out a batch of 25 at a time and a few of the magnets got stuck together and did not get to its destination. I wish I had known this when we bought them. Otherwise, the magnets were awesome.....fun and creative!!
