Imperial Belvedere
It's the pool scene that really gets the vote here. That and the first-rate views.
Rooms that come with a sea or mountain view really make the most of this hotel's hilltop spot. And as this place shares ground space with the Royal Belvedere, you get a fantastic pool scene, too.
It's a 10-minute walk to the local beach and bars. The free shuttle bus will scoot you there much quicker. And a short walk up the hill there are traditional Greek villages.

U of I doctors under scrutiny for surgical robot ad
When the makers of the da Vinci surgical robot asked University of Illinois doctors to appear in a national advertising campaign, their Chicago hospital saw an opportunity to promote its expertise with the device. But the plan backfired. Instead of gaining national publicity for being leaders in robotic surgery, the doctors and the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System are under scrutiny for endorsing a commercial product, a possible violation of U. of I. policy. The Tribune also found that some doctors pictured in the ad did not initially disclose their financial ties to the company that makes the robot, Intuitive Surgical Inc., as required by the university's policies on conflicts of interest.

The scale is twice as massive the scale of the HO gauge. HO is the abbreviation of 'Half of '. The dimensions of HO is 1/87. The usual measurement monitor gauge of sixteen.5mm is being used by the HO trains For layouts, HO scale is the preferred size to be used. Their size is sweet sufficient to have the ability to use constructive sceneries with properly designed observe plans in a lesser amount of house. However their measurement is giant sufficient to be able to handle a substantial amount of detail in finer models.
Z scale: Though there are smaller scales corresponding to ZZ and T, Z scale is among the smallest scales which is commercially available in most hobby shops. Huge networks of rail might be fit into a comparatively small house. The vary of models out there for this scale however could also be restricted to mainly North American prototypes. Producers have the aim of making correct and life like model trains. The primary model trains have been powered by wind-up clockwork, or steam engines, with the first electric model trains showing in the late nineteenth century.

Editor, Townsman:
Concerning the coverage of the negotiations between the town and the Public Employees Committee, as well as Mr. Bob Landry's letter and Mr. Gregory Serrao's before his, there seems to be a "blood in the water" mentality. What I object to is the lack of complete information that might make clearer why the vote at Town Meeting to reject the $680,000 reduction amendment was the right vote.
First off, we also learned at Town Meeting that the current plan guaranteed rates for two years, while the Tufts plan only guaranteed them for one. Would you buy a used car for $5,000 with a one-year warranty or pay $6,000 and get a two-year warranty? Both choices have merit. It is fine to have a preference, but could we at least make note of this fact somewhere?
There were some five meetings with the PEC that covered the pros and cons of this decision and it was not the Andover Education Association alone that voted to keep the current plan. There are 15 interests represented at the table. Is the AEA so all-powerful? That one speaker at Town Meeting says it was done for "retribution" is nonsense. But it is provocative, and so let's cloud the facts with baseless charges.
Mr. Landry points out the "outrageousness" of the benefit, without balancing that with the fact that this is part of compensation. People make choices where to work, Public- and private-sector jobs both come with total compensation, not just your weekly paycheck. Many workers in this town, at all levels, chose to work here and be paid less money year in and year out. This benefit is part of the reason why. Shall we simply pull the rug out from under them? I am not against addressing the benefit going forward, but we have a social contract with our employees and that should be respected out of fairness to them. They have earned that fairness.

Windows Mobile worries mount as competition heats up
Microsoft's mobile OS future could be dim with the rise of Android, other rivals
Computerworld - When Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer admitted publicly in September that the company did "screw up with Windows Mobile," many experts were left wondering how the mobile operating system can be fixed with the arrival of version 7 next year -- and beyond.
A more pressing question might be: What will be left for Windows Mobile by the time version 7 arrives mid-year or later with all the smartphone competitors coming to market, especially Android smartphones from various makers and wireless carriers, including Motorola's Cliq and Droid, to be carried by T-Mobile and Verizon, respectively.
In a way, predictions of a possible demise of Windows Mobile are a bit wan to anybody who has followed the business for a decade. The OS once set the bar for other device makers, including Palm Inc. and Nokia, said Kevin Burden, an analyst at ABI Research.
But then came Apple Inc.'s iPhone in 2007, and steady progress from BlackBerry and the arrival of Android devices in late 2008.
"Heading into 2010, the momentum [for Windows Mobile] has dissipated and there has been wide speculation that Microsoft might be ready to bail out on the mobile operating system market altogether," Burden wrote recently.
In the summer, several Gartner Inc. analysts were also questioning the future for Windows Mobile on consumer-focused devices beyond Windows Mobile 7, noting that it was a poor performer for Microsoft and had fallen in market share.
In one exception, Burden and Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney have joined customers such as FedEx Inc. in predicting Windows Mobile has a long future for a specialized group of users who deploy the ruggedized devices made by companies such as Motorola, Intermec and Pison Teklogix.
It took many years for makers of rugged devices used mainly by warehouse workers and service and delivery drivers to convert their customers from DOS systems to Windows Mobile, so transitioning them to another OS would take years, Burden told Computerworld on Friday. "And even if you did try to transition, what OS would you use?" he asked.
But at the same, Burden said, "I worry about the future for Microsoft within the consumer-focused smartphone base. Windows Mobile will always be there for business users of rugged devices, but it's valid to say that for consumers, Windows Mobile's future is undecided and unclear."
If Windows Mobile 7 has interface improvements and changes to adapt to the user friendliness of iPhone and other devices, those changes might come along too late in the second half of 2010, Burden said. "If that happens then, what's left for Windows Mobile if Android really starts to take off and Symbian gets its act together?"

It was an emotional July on Staten Island: The month began with a series of shootings, followed by the death of a heroic firefighter.

text: Equipment bookings and billings continue along a steady trend North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.29 billion in orders worldwide in February 2014 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.00, according to the February EMDS Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. A book-to-bill of 1.00 means that $100 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in February 2014 was $1.29 billion. The bookings figure is 0.7 percent higher than the final January 2014 level of $1.28 billion, and is 20.1 percent higher than the February 2013 order level of $1.07 billion. The three-month average of worldwide billings in February 2014 was $1.29 billion. The billings figure is 4.5 percent higher than the final January 2014 level of $1.23 billion, and is 32.2 percent higher than the February 2013 billings level of $974.7 million. "Equipment bookings and billings continue along a steady trend in the first quarter," said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. "The book-to-bill ratio remains at or above parity for the fifth consecutive month, and the booking and billing values remain well above the figures reported one year ago." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars.

World Cup finalists wary of upset

France flanker Imanol Harinordoquy believes Scotland will provide a much sterner test for the Rugby World Cup finalists than many observers are anticipating in Sunday's Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.
Les Bleus travel to Edinburgh having beaten Italy 30-12 before their match with Ireland was postponed and face a Scotland side seeking to avoid a fifth straight loss for the first time since 2004. Scotland impressed in narrow defeats to England and Wales and Harinordoquy predicts France may be required to spend long periods in defence on Sunday.
He told the French media: "Maybe the Scots frighten us offensively as the Irish scare us defensively. There are not many teams who are able to do that, hold the ball for four, five minutes.
"They move the ball quickly and move around a lot. It's still easier to have the ball than to defend. It takes a lot of energy (to defend) and we need to take the game by the throat and not let them advance down the field. Then it's up to us."
France travel to Edinburgh with head coach Philippe Saint-Andre having named the same starting XV and replacements' bench which had been due to play Ireland on February 11, only for the match to be postponed as a result of a frozen pitch at the Stade de France.
Biarritz back-row Harinordoquy was included as one of four changes, having started on the bench for the win over Italy. Harinordoquy, one of the world's leading line-out forwards, was included in place of Julien Bonnaire, with all four changes made in the pack. In the front row, Jean-Baptiste Poux comes in for Vincent Debaty at prop while hooker Dimitri Szarzewski replaces William Servat.
In the second row, Yoann Maestri has been given the nod ahead of Lionel Nallet and will make his first Test start. Morgan Parra retained the scrum-half jersey, with Dimitri Yachvili (back) still out.
France have beaten Scotland in 11 of the 12 previous Six Nations meetings - the only loss coming at Murrayfield in 2006. Despite recent results suggesting otherwise, Harinordoquy believes Scotland have been improving under Andy Robinson.
"This is a team that progresses from year to year," he added. "It is more mobile and more powerful than before and then they can keep the ball better today. It's really the team that you distrust. We must be vigilant otherwise there could be trouble."

Perez worked to become the first lawyer in his family. He knows first hand, Obama said, that if you work hard in United States, you can accomplish great things.

The U.S. still leads the world in one area — arms sales. But even there, China is closing the gap.
Made-in-China weapons have moved into the No. 5 slot, displacing U.K.-manufactured arms, but the Asian giant still trails far behind the U.S. and Russia, whose weapons account for 30 percent and 26 percent of the market, respectively, according to a new report released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute on Monday.

A vote in Cyprus on whether to approve a controversial bailout plan has been postponed after the prospect of the deal caused bank customers to rush to withdraw their savings and drew the ire of overseas depositors.
As NPR's Krishnadev Calamur wrote in a post over the weekend: "The money [is] needed because Cyprus' banks lost 4.5 billion euros on their Greek bond holdings, which were written down last year after Greece's second bailout."

Well its my sisters birthday tonight so it looks like were going to Coldstone (a big ice cream place) so Im making it a cheat meal. Besides trying to enjoy myself and not freak out about what Im eating, is there anything I can do to make the cheat not as bad? I know that all of the sugar in the ice cream will create a big insulin spike (and I store fat very easily); is there anything that you guys do to help negate the impact of this? Like, specifically, Ive heard of people taking psyllium husk or Metamucil before a meal that they know is gonna be bad; does anyone have any experience with this? Or should I eat some protein or fat with the meal to try to decrease the glycemic load of the meal? Or would these extra calories just make the cheat worse?
Thanks guys,
Enjoy it, and get back on track tommorow.Originally Posted by luke77
Coldston has some fat free and low carb ice cream. You realy dont have to cheat unless you realy want to.
i would enjoy every spoonful of that ice cream don't worry like Salahg said just get back on track tomorrow enjoy!!!!!

Enjoy your evening.
Regardless if you store fat very easily, I doubt very much that you'll store a significant amount in one night.

I'm assuming you're cutting. If so, don't worry about it. If you've established a routine caloric deficit throughout the week, one meal will have no effect on your fat loss. Enjoy! I know I would.

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

I just got into this debate with a friend when she found out I'd stopped drinking alcohol for fitness reasons. Living life and enjoying it means different things to different people. I actually enjoy the discipline more than the sweets.
In the end you're right, though. People need to do what makes them happy and not worry so much about it.
Exactly. If you love eating, indulge in food. If discipline turns your crank, indulge in discipline.

It is easy to miss the beauty of everyday moments, but the photo series titled Instant Life by Florian Beaudenon, a photographer based in Paris, France, reminds people to take a moment and truly appreciate the little things. Shot from above, the series shows everything from a serene and comforting bath to playing with pets and even fixing one's bike.
Currently being exhibited in Brooklyn, New York, until the end of June, Instant Life by Florian Beaudenon imbues such scenes with a peacefulness that may not be experienced in the actual moment. Yet there is something to be said about letting one's mind drift while performing a possibly mundane task. Not everything needs to be extra special to document, something it is nice to remember the quiet moments.

HONG KONG—Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is in talks with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to come up with an ownership structure that would allow the Chinese e-commerce company to list its shares while enabling founder Jack Ma and his management team to maintain control, people familiar with the talks said.
Alibaba, which operates shopping sites where merchants sell items directly to consumers, could raise billions of dollars in an initial public offering of stock as early as this year and is deciding whether to list its shares in Hong Kong or New York. The IPO could value Alibaba at US$70 billion, based on analysts' estimates, making it one of the world's biggest Internet IPOs and a much sought-after prize for stock exchanges, investors and the bankers who advise the company.
If the IPO takes place in Hong Kong, it would be one of the biggest in the city in recent years.
The Hong Kong exchange—where Alibaba's online trade platform, Alibaba.com, was listed until the group took it private last year—has always been an option, people familiar with the company have said. But the exchange doesn't allow a dual-class structure—a structure commonly used in the U.S. that makes it possible for founders and other key shareholders to maintain enough voting rights to control a company even after it goes public.

Morgan Stanley was one of the main underwriters for Alibaba.com's IPO in 2007 and was one of the main banks to fund Alibaba's recent $8 billion loan.
The two banks also have strong credentials as tech IPO bankers, especially in New York. Morgan Stanley was the lead adviser on Facebook's $16 billion IPO last year.
Banks have been competing feverishly to get in on the IPO. Some have been holding meetings with Mr. Ma since May of last year, when Alibaba struck the deal to buy back some of its own shares from Yahoo, according to people familiar with the situation.
The terms of that deal gave Alibaba the right to buy back more of Yahoo's remaining stake in the Chinese company upon an IPO before December 2015.

Substitute for Love - eBook
Price: $9.99
Reyna Putnam has lived by the rules of her politically ambitious father for years. Increasingly anguished by the work she does at his behest, trysts with women like Holly are all that keep her sane. She tries to banish the memory of Holly as she has so many other women because nothing has changed. She's trapped in a cage not of her own making.
Holly has no intention of living in the shadows, and sets out to uncover the secrets of her own past hoping they will lead her back to the mysterious Reyna and some kind of future.
The first of Karin Kallmaker's many Lambda Literary award finalists, Substitute for Love is a powerfully sensuous exploration of love in its many forms.

Substitute for Love - Finalist, Best Lesbian Romance
Deborah Pffeifer:What would you do for someone you loved? It's easy to say you'd climb mountains and swim oceans, but when faced with a desperate choice, what would you do? That's the dilemma facing Reyna in Karin Kallmaker's newest, and I think, darkest novel... Kallmaker does a fine job exploring the anguish of Reyna's life, and the second plot, concerning a mathematician, is equally well-developed. Her major and minor characters are credible and spirited, a pleasure to meet and, sometimes, to hate. Substitute for Love may just be the best Kallmaker I've read in a long time, and given her extraordinary talent, that's saying something.
Reviewed by Deborah DiRusso: I've never been big on reading romance novels, which is why I'm so surprised to come to the revelation that I'm hooked on Karin Kallmaker's books... Substitute for Love is no exception. It doesn't seem likely for Holly, who is in a long-term straight relationship, to get involved with Reyna, who writes press releases and articles for a conservative, anti-gay Christian group, but it happens. As the story unfolds, Holly finds out some secrets about her past, while we find out the reason why Reyna has the job she has. This may be one of Karin Kallmaker's best and most engrossing books yet.
Richard LaBonte - syndicated: Prolific Naiad novelist Karin Kallmaker is something of a prodigy. She's barely into her 40s, she's published 15 books, and she doesn't depend on the formula of continuing characters... to lighten her creative workload... Her plots are textured, her characters are engaging, her sex scenes are intense, and her prose style is better than workmanlike -- she's the lesbian hybrid of Joyce Carol Oates (if Oates wrote briefer, less bleak books) and Danielle Steele (if Steele wrote well). Substitute for Love continues Kallmaker's string of darn good reads... That Kallmaker renders the tortuous travails of Holly and Reyna quite plausible is one of her novel's many charms.
Reviewed by Therese Szymanski- November, 2002: In Karin Kallmaker's Substitute for Love, the undisputed Mistress of Romance skillfully weaves a tale of longing, need, and desire, creating a story complete with mystery, good guys, bad guys, tender moments, humor, and raw sexuality. Kallmaker continues her tradition of painstaking research in her latest work. Unlike some romance writers, she again creates new backgrounds and occupations for her heroines, while interweaving this information with their characters, interactions, and the storyline itself.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH — Some fishermen in North Myrtle Beach are worried about possible regulations being discussed in the city that would limit the hours for tossing lines into the surf.
North Myrtle Beach city council met in a workshop before the regular council meeting Monday night to discuss and draft an ordinance for surf fishing. The council expects to discuss the issue further when the proposed ordinance hits a council agenda during the offseason. Before any laws are changed, however, the council would need to pass the ordinance twice.
The possible ordinance comes after several complaints were filed, primarily in July, over safety concerns with the hooks and lines in the ocean, said city spokesman Pat Dowling.
Wayne Hill, who has lived in the city for decades, said it's not an issue that requires strict legislation like the proposal Monday that would ban surf fishing on public beaches from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Hill was one of 13 people who attended the meeting. He said there could be dangers for beachgoers related to surf fishing, but there's a level of danger in anything on the beach. An ordinance just isn't the answer, he said.
Pete Pieri was concerned about the time limits. He said tourists likely want to fish during the hours that would be prohibited. And if he has to work at night, he too, likely won't be able to fish on the beach.
Currently, the city has no regulations for surf fishing, but does prohibit fishing for sharks.
Larkin Broughton owns a vacation property in North Myrtle Beach and said he tries to fish away from people, but constantly has kids approaching his line.
"Some mornings I have to move five times to get away from people," he said. "I can't stop the parents from bringing that kid up to the fishing pole. It's not me. I can't get away from them."
Council made a few changes to a draft of the ordinance, primarily shifting issues around so the ordinance first says a surf fishing license must be issued by the state before anyone can legally sink a hook. The council also agreed the draft ordinance should address the immediate release of fish or other animals that could pose a danger to beachgoers, sun bathers, swimmers and anyone else where the catch is made.
And, similar to other jurisdictions like Horry County and Myrtle Beach, the ordinance would say fishing in a manner that presents unsafe conditions to others is prohibited.
Council deleted a line in the draft ordinance that would bar fishing within 100 yards of beachgoers laying, sitting and walking on the sand.
Mayor Marilyn Hatley said that wouldn't work.
"Well you'd never fish," she said. "Somebody's going to be walking, somebody's going to come and sit down. I have a problem with that whole thing."
Diana Pieri said if safety is at stake fishing in the surf could be restricted like surfing is by limiting it to 100 yards on either side of a pier.
Hatley said she's certain a compromise will be found on the issue and said the council is in no hurry to enact changes because the city has the entire winter to figure the issue out.

|Ask Dr. Swiner: When is swelling abnormal?
|Published Tuesday, July 1, 2014
One of the most challenging patient issues I have to deal with is swelling, otherwise known as edema. I have a large variety of patients – big and small, young and old – that come in complaining of this. It's sometimes on one side, both sides, constant or intermittent. It can be due to something simple or open up a gamet of medical possibilities.
Let me first say that we all have swelling from time to time. It is normal. The simplest explanation is that we all swell a bit when it's warmer outside. Think about it: A hot dog gets fatter when cooked due to the heat and the sodium it contains. Our legs are the same. So a little bit of swelling is normal, especially if it's both legs, and we've been on them for a longer time than usual in the heat.
We also normally have more swelling on the left side of the body than the right due to the way our main blood vessels in the body sit in the chest and abdominal cavity.
Once we rest and elevate and they return to normal size, it's OK. However, if swelling persists even after elevating, you may need to see your doctor to make sure it's not due to another cause.
The first that comes to mind is congestive heart failure. There are two types of this condition: systolic (when the heart muscle contracts) and diastolic (when it relaxes).
One can imagine if the heart doesn't pump blood or receive blood well, how it can lead to a back flow of fluid and cause swelling in the legs. Generally speaking, not only can heart failure cause fluid in the legs, but it can also cause fluid in the lungs, causing shortness of breath, chest discomfort or difficulty breathing when lying flat. So when a patient is concerned about abnormal swelling, I always ask questions about these other symptoms to be reassured.
Kidney issues also can lead to swelling if there is a lack of blood flow or strain on the kidneys. These two organs are most affected by conditions such as dehydration, high blood pressure (hypertension), high blood sugar (diabetes) and drugs and medications. Renal insufficiency or renal failure can cause decreased filtering through the small tubules inside the kidney, leading to increased protein in the blood and water being leaked out, thereby causing swelling.
Other causes include hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anemia, obesity, liver disease or eating too much salt. All in all, if swelling continues to be an issue and doesn't go away for weeks, go see your doctor before you reach for that over-the-counter water pill.
Dr. C. Nicole Swiner works at Durham Family Medicine, where she treats newborns to elderly patients. She can be found at www.durhamfamilymedicine.net.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A city here in Southern California is fighting crime with tweets - not social networking, real tweets by birds playing on speakers along the city's main drag. The Wall Street Journal posted online the soundscape - chirping robins, splashing water and faint musical notes. The mayor of Lancaster tells the Journal the birds put residents in, quote, "a better place." And though police say the causes are many, crime in the city is down. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

All five major GOP candidates have ads running during the station's nightly news programs. Their messages are also being amplified and augmented by supportive superPACs.

SPACEMAN Deluxe Hardcover Now Available from DC
From the Eisner award-winning team that brought you the acclaimed crime epic 100 Bullets comes SPACEMAN, a deluxe edition hardcover (collecting issues 1-9 of the mini-series and the short story that started it all, originally published in Strange Adventures #1,) that is less science fiction and more science hell.
Writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso present a not-so-distant future, where the environment and economy have collapsed and Orson, a hulking, lonely loser who was genetically engineered to withstand the harsh journey to Mars, is lost in a world he wasn't meant to live in.
With the space program now defunct, Orson spends his days collecting scrap metal and dreaming of the life he was promised, finding himself trapped in a seriously harsher reality. That is, until he finds himself at the center of a celebrity child kidnapping case. Seeing his chance to be a hero, Orson takes matters into his own hands...
Azzarello got the idea for the story while sitting in a bar watching the news with a friend and bio-engineering professor in Chicago. A master of dialect, Azzarello used text messaging as inspiration for the way Orson speaks!
Welcome to science hell!

Prepared for Trauma, Overwhelmed by Carnage
Hospitals' practice drills provide blueprint, but rapid response to Boston Marathon bombings shows how they really work
Hospitals are required by their accrediting organization -- The Joint Commission -- to have a detailed emergency operations plan. They also must perform two drills a year, focusing on risks they believe are most likely to occur, based on their location, said George Mills, a director at The Joint Commission, which evaluates and accredits more than 10,300 hospitals in the United States.
A disaster like the Boston bombing is the hardest type of catastrophe to plan for, said James Romagnoli, vice president of emergency management at North Shore-LIJ Health System, in Great Neck, N.Y.
"You have no idea of the who, what or where. Even a plane crash is easier to prepare for, as unexpected as they are," he said. "But [Monday], you had no time. You have to be able to turn a switch, and instantly everyone has to know that you're going into incident command."
Romagnoli said he spent Monday monitoring the events in Boston and remained in contact with law enforcement officials in his area. "I had a real concern that [a bombing] was going to happen simultaneously in New York," he said. "We figured it could happen in Manhattan."
Still, no matter what's happening in New York or elsewhere, the emergency management staff at Romagnoli's network of 16 hospitals always knows how many beds are available.
"Just in case," he said.
