Thanksgiving and Black Friday are upon us, which means it's time for the postal service to deliver a very thick piece of mail filled with page upon page of glowing descriptions. No, I'm not talking about the Lands' End Christmas catalogue. I'm referring to the Hall of Fame ballot, which was mailed this week to voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
There are 37 candidates on this year's ballot, including 19 first-timers. With the corresponding player bios, career highlights and lifetime stats included with the ballot, the envelope will be the thickest item in my mailbox until the credit card bill arrives in January.
At least six serious newcomers are joining an already significant backlog of candidates. Combine that with a 10-player voting maximum, and this year's ballot will be tougher than ever. Do I vote for Jeff Kent and Mike Mussina? Is there still room to vote for Jack Morris and Edgar Martinez? Will I be able to make up my mind before the Dec. 31 deadline? And if I'm still struggling then, will three or four glasses of New Year's Eve champagne help with my vote?
I'll write about my actual vote when I finally figure it out. (Perhaps after the second bottle on New Year's.) But for now, here is my annual look (check out last year's column here) at the new players on the ballot, in alphabetical order.
Moises Alou: The Hall of Fame vote is a nice reminder of how just good some players were. For instance, Alou had a career batting average of .303, hit 332 home runs, drove in 1,287 runs, made seven All-Star teams and had an .885 OPS. Unfortunately, some might remember him most for not being able to catch the Bartman ball. Well, that and urinating on his hands to toughen them up. (Cooperstown curators should definitely wear those white gloves when handling his bats.)
With so many other deserving candidates on the ballot, Moises has little chance of being elected this year. Which is kind of a shame. When you think about his career, along with those of his father Felipe and his uncles Matty and Jesus, Cooperstown could probably devote an entire wing to the Alou family.
Armando Benitez: And then there are the possible candidates who do not remind you of how good their careers were.
Sean Casey: Casey was nicknamed "The Mayor" -- not because of any resemblance whatsoever to Toronto mayor Rob Ford, but instead because of his extraordinarily friendly, outgoing personality. Casey didn't have a lot of power for a first baseman (130 home runs and 735 RBIs), but he did finish with a .302 career batting average. And he was so popular that if the Hall of Fame vote was purely up to former teammates, "The Mayor" probably would be the first unanimous inductee in Cooperstown history.
Ray Durham: He had a pretty good career for a second baseman who made only two All-Star teams, finishing with a .277 average, 1,249 runs, 192 home runs and 273 stolen bases. But he will only get into Cooperstown if he buys a ticket like everyone else.
Eric Gagne: He famously converted 84 consecutive save opportunities between 2002 and 2004, saving 157 games those three years and winning the 2003 Cy Young award. Then his career went so far south it was only witnessed by penguins. He saved just 35 more games over the rest of his time in the majors and was named in the Mitchell report for the use of HGH. Too bad. Those goggles of his would have looked awesome on a Hall of Fame plaque.
Tom Glavine I'm stunned to see some speculation that Glavine will not be elected this year. Glavine is a 300-game winner, a two-time Cy Young winner, a five-time 20-game winner, a 10-time All-Star and he allowed one hit to win the final game of the 1995 World Series. What more could anyone demand for election? That he mold his own bronze plaque?
Luis Gonzalez: Gonzo hit .325 with 57 home runs and 142 RBIs in 2001, but I'm tempted to vote for him just for that one bloop single in Game 7 that beat the Yankees in that year's World Series.
Jacque Jones: I first covered Jones when he was on the 1996 Olympic team. Then when he was a rookie with the Twins. And now he's on the Hall of Fame ballot. I feel old.
Todd Jones: Jones saved 319 games in his 16-year career, used the Christian rock song, "Last Man Standing," as his closer music and threw the last pitch at Tiger Stadium. But he probably won't get a vote unless he wrote enough columns for The Sporting News to qualify for the BBWAA and casts a ballot for himself. Or maybe he could short-cut the process and just buy a vote.
Jeff Kent: Forget his .290 career batting average, 377 home runs (most ever by a second baseman), 1,320 runs, 1,518 RBIs and his MVP award in 2000 (when he hit .334 with 33 home runs, 125 RBIs and 114 runs). The most amazing thing this notoriously bad-tempered player did was somehow NOT get voted off "Survivor: Philippines" last year until the ninth week. Obviously, Barry Bonds was not on the show.
Paul Lo Duca: He was a four-time All-Star, but that probably wouldn't have been sufficient to get him elected to the Hall of Fame. And admitting to PED use last winter probably didn't help his case, either.
Greg Maddux: With 355 wins, four Cy Young awards, nine top-five Cy Young finishes, a 3.16 ERA and more than 3,300 strikeouts, there is a case to be made that Maddux could be the first player unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame. But he won't be. Remember, we're talking about the votes of baseball writers. And if some baseball writers didn't vote for Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, you can be certain there will at least one who won't vote for Maddux. And whoever that moron is should lose the right to vote forever. And that includes voting in local and presidential elections.
Mike Mussina: Mussina won 270 games, finished in the top five of the Cy Young vote six times (and also finished sixth twice) and regularly threw 200-plus innings. But he never won a major league World Series, despite pitching eight seasons for the Yankees. He signed with them after they won the 2000 World Series and retired the winter before they won the 2009 World Series. That might be the worst case of baseball timing apart from appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot the same year as Maddux and Glavine.
Hideo Nomo: What an amazing career. He had 78 wins and 1,204 strikeouts in Japan by age 25, plus an Olympic silver medal. Then he "retired" from the Japanese league, providing him a loophole to sign with the Dodgers before the 1995 season. Despite starting that year in the minors, he led the National League in strikeouts, started the All-Star Game and won the rookie of the year award. His success created Nomo-mania and sparked the signing of many more Japanese stars.
Nomo struggled after the 1997 season, changing teams seven times just between 1998-2001 and 11 times before he finally retired. He threw a no-hitter in each league and also hit Ichiro with a pitch.
He wasn't the first Japanese player in the majors (Masanori Murakami played for San Francisco in 1965); and with his so-so overall record (123-109 over 12 MLB seasons), he won't be the first Japanese player in the Hall of Fame, either -- that honor will go to Ichiro. But because of everything that resulted from his career, he is probably the most important.
Kenny Rogers: "The Gambler" pitched 20 seasons, won 219 games and five gold gloves, threw a perfect game, walked in the series-ending run in the 1999 NLCS, received a 20-game suspension for assaulting a cameraman and drew suspicions that he doctored the ball while throwing eight scoreless innings in the 2006 World Series. He also was the first player Billy Beane ever traded for as a general manager. All that makes him a strong candidate for a part in "Moneyball: The Prequel," but probably not for the Hall of Fame.
Richie Sexson: Sexson hit 309 home runs and struck out 1,312 times, including single-season totals of 178, 167 and 159. If he put up those number these days, he would be considered a contact hitter.
J.T. Snow: The son of former Los Angeles Ram receiver Jack Snow, J.T. played 16 seasons, won six gold gloves at first base and drove in nearly 900 runs. He is also the only position player to earn a save in the postseason, thanks to rescuing Dusty Baker's son, Darren, from getting run over at home plate in the 2002 World Series.
Frank Thomas: The most contentious part of the Hall vote debate nowadays involves PEDs. Thomas has loudly spoken out against steroid use, and I do not suspect him of taking anything against the rules. Yet, our PED suspicions are often based partly on body size and shape. So how is it that Thomas, one of the largest players of that era, has largely been given a pass?
I'll give you a couple reasons. One, we in the media can be frustratingly inconsistent. After all, we saw how incredibly huge Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were in 1998 and knew that McGwire took andro, yet we praised both of them as heroes anyway. Then we changed direction and slammed them as evil villains on par with Lex Luthor and telemarketers when our attitudes toward steroid use dramatically changed around 2003.
Another reason? Basing PED suspicion on body shape or size is foolish. Just because you're big like Thomas does not mean you're on the juice. And just because you're not built like a tight end doesn't mean you aren't taking something. (A reliable person told me about an ex-player who was on the juice despite looking rather flabby.)
That's why we should not rely on the eye test. It is unreliable and unfair. There has to be more evidence than physical appearance. Which is why I don't suspect Thomas of breaking the rules and will happily vote for "The Big Hurt."
Mike Timlin: He played 18 seasons and never made an All-Star team. Congratulations, Mike. You're this year's winner of the "What The @#% Is He Doing On the Ballot?" Award.
And that is the list of new players on the ballot. How many will get elected? How many will get the requisite 5 percent vote total to remain on the ballot next year? How bad will we BBWAA voters look? We'll have to wait until January. In the meantime, I need to start studying the Lands' End catalogue.
CSI: Box Score
Each week, I provide a fragment from an old box score and challenge you to determine what game it is from and why it's significant. I give this one a difficulty rating of 8. Answer below:
Baseball Card of the Week
This card (1956 Topps, No. 84) is of a player you've likely never heard of, but who had a remarkable life.
Born on the Fourth of July, 1928, Babe Birrer played 20 seasons of pro ball, 18 of those in the minors, including 10 in his native Buffalo. He played in parts of three seasons in the majors, pitching a total of 119 2/3 innings. His greatest game was July 19, 1955, when he pitched four scoreless innings of relief (he was later awarded a save) and hit two home runs. Yes, two homers! He is believed to be the only player who played in more than one season and had his entire career home run and RBI total come from one game.
Birrer also served in Korea and taught school for two decades.
So why do I bring this up? Sadly, Birrer died last week at the age of 85. Rest in peace, Babe.
Yeah, Well, That's Like, Just Your Opinion, Man
Change Is Needed, But Maybe We Should Stop Short Of Allowing Negative Campaign Ads. As mentioned in the Todd Jones item above, Deadspin is hoping to make a mockery of the Hall of Fame voting process by buying and selling a writer's vote. I'm not offended because the vote is already a mockery. The Hall vote desperately needs change -- have I ever mentioned that the 10-player maximum needs to be eliminated? -- including making sure that the core of voters actually are all baseball writers and not just general columnists/writers who rarely go to games or pay much attention to the sport. I also favor opening the vote to non-writers, such as broadcasters, respected stat guys, historians and some bloggers.
Can't Wait For Her Edgar Martinez-inspired Song, "Mariners." It's wild enough that New Zealand singer Lorde has such an amazing voice at age 17 -- or, to be more accurate, age 16, since that is how old she was when she recorded her current chart-topper "Royals." But it's even more amazing that the partial inspiration for that song was none other than … George Brett, the Kansas City Hall of Famer who retired three years before she was even born. Lorde told VH-1 that she "had this image from the National Geographic of this dude just signing baseballs. He was a baseball player and his shirt said, 'Royals.' It was just that word. It's really cool."
Then Again, TSA Agents Could Boost Attendance In Tampa Bay (As Long As You Count Them As Attendees). The strong indication last week that all major league teams will require fans to pass through security detectors to enter a ballpark next season is not promising. Yes, we all have security concerns, and such detectors make sense in certain places -- airports among them. But fans and their bags already are subject to search. Imagine the large disruption and annoyance that this additional security search will cause. And to the best of my knowledge, there isn't a history of threatening incidents at major league games, which have drawn more than one billion fans over the past 20 years. Should we have these security detectors everywhere there are large crowds and possible threats of violence? Must you pass through them to enter a movie theater? A shopping mall? A subway? A park? A church? When will there be an end to fear overwhelming everything we do? Rather than treat every fan as a potential terrorist, it is time we heed the words of a certain president who said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
A Better Way To Honor This Most American Of Holidays Is Getting Drunk And Arguing Over Who Belongs In The Hall Of Fame. Many Americans are rightfully disgusted by Black Friday encroaching ever further into Thanksgiving, with Macy's and Sears among the stores opening at 8 p.m. Thursday. But while it is appalling that we are repeatedly told to celebrate Thanksgiving and the start of Christmas by flocking to shopping malls to spend more money, is it that much worse than telling us we should watch a football or basketball game when the family is gathered together? Or go watch a movie? And perhaps that's part of the appeal of Black Friday becoming Black Thursday. It provides an excuse to get out of the house after what can often be a very long day.
CSI: Box Score Answer
The biggest clue here was the name Maddux followed by "pr-p." Yes, that was Greg Maddux. And this box score is from his major league debut on Sept. 2, 1986, when he entered the game for the Cubs as a pinch-runner for Jody Davis in the bottom of the 17th inning against Houston. Maddux then went to the mound in the top of the 18th and gave up a run to take the loss. Few could have guessed he would add 355 wins to that 0-1 record before his career ended 22 years later.
This would have been one heckuva game to attend. Not only would you get to see Maddux make his debut, you'd also get to see starts by Nolan Ryan and Jamie Moyer (no velocity difference there!) and a game that wound up going so many innings that not only was Maddux used as a pinch-runner, Rick Sutcliffe was used as a pinch-hitter. (And yes, that was Terry Francona who pinch-hit for Moyer.)
Oh, and not that many people can honestly say they saw Maddux make his debut. The announced attendance was 10,501. A great many of those fans undoubtedly left Wrigley Field before Maddux entered the game nearly five hours after Moyer threw the first pitch.

Junaio 2.0 First Indoor Social Augmented Reality App at SXSW With Developers API
Call it web 3.0 or Augmented reality (AR), the technology that overlays digital content such as text, graphics, or 3D models on real objects through any video output. A Technology that is changing the face of life because of the way it makes life easier.
In the last months of 20009 we saw a spike in startups and companies entering the AR space, however innovation is not near ending in this space as germany based metaio released a new version of its open augmented reality browser junaio 2.0 The version 2.0 is now available in the iPhone App Store offering Indoor usage, web- and user-based information channels and an open API for developers to an open browser platform enabling everyone to create and experience mobile augmented reality.
What is more junaio 2.0 is first to enable AR the possibilities indoors. By combining the GPS- and compass-based geo-information with the so called LLA-marker- technology that is patent pending- users now can experience augmented reality not only in the world outside but even within buildings. This feature can be used e.g. for museums where visitors can point their camera on the info next to the exhibits and gather information directly on their mobile phone. "
The feature can be experienced with the "scavengAR"-hunt by Porter Novelli at the famous South by Southwest Conference (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, UAS. Where visitors have to find clues in the real world throughout the SXSW venues, collect digital items on them and be the first to finish the augmented reality scavenger hunt and win prizes.
Social AR Channel Concept Meets Twitter
junaio 2.0 also introduceing a new way to arrange the location based content and LBS by offering mobile content channels in the real world via augmented reality. The currently include the categories: News, Culture, Shopping, Games, Travel or Food and for example help users to find the closest and best rated restaurant more easily. Furthermore every user can set up his/her personal channel and share posts, notes or points of interests with friends or make channels public to everyone. With this feature users can share their experiences, 3D objects, Twitter messages, website infos or recommendations of nearby locations with their friends and build the junaio-social community.
The first content provider channels included within the junaio 2.0 platform, will be a US-based transportation service provider (tba.) and the Eventful Channel.
Share and Enjoy

Celebs called out on misleading pseudoscience
X Factor producer Simon Cowell, TV host Bill O'Reilly and actress Gwyneth Paltrow have all come in for special mentions in Sense About Science's Celebrities and Science report.
Simon Cowell gets his place in the hall of fame for his enthusiasm for intravenous vitamins, while Paltrow endorses a stream of expensive and useless detox treatments. Meanwhile, O'Reilly claimed scientists had no idea how tides work.
"In my opinion – alright? Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in," he said.
The review is the sixth from Sense About Science, which campaigns to get science discussed intelligently in the media.
"We're seeing changes – people are contacting us, medical charities are briefing their celebrities more and working with us to follow up dangerous advice, and we now have over 5,000 scientists and hundreds of organisations signed up to offer help. So there really is no excuse for celebrities promulgating misleading claims," says Sense About Science managing director Tracey Brown.
"While it gives us a good reason to talk about sound science on subjects like oceans and diets, sadly our publications don't go nearly so far so fast as a comment by an A-list actress."
Michelle Bachman gets a mention in the report for her assertion that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation. And singer Suzi Quatro has an odd take on medicine: "I used to get a lot of sore throats and then one of my sisters told me that all illnesses start in the colon," she explains.
"I started taking a daily colon cleanser powder mixed with fresh juice every morning and it made an enormous difference. I've been doing it for 20 years."
But none of these is quite as bonkers as reality TV's Snooki Polizzi, who has her own theory about why the sea is salty. Too much whale sperm, apparently.

Content marketing
|Part of a series on

Content marketing is any marketing that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing content in order to acquire and retain customers. Content marketing is also defined as a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.[1] Content marketing can further be characterized as a step from earned to owned media. This means that by establishing own brand channels, brands increasingly act like media companies and fulfil corresponding functions like entertainment, information and social interaction. Ultimately, brands can become their own communication-medium and thereby replace paid-media channels.[2]
The type of content businesses share is closely related to what they sell. However, the content's main focus is on the needs of the prospect. This information is consistently delivered and can be presented in a variety of formats, including news, video, white papers, e-books, infographics, email newsletters, case studies, podcasts, how-to guides, question and answer articles, photos, blogs etc.[3][4][5][6]
Advertising has long used content to disseminate information about a brand and build a brand's reputation.
In 1895, John Deere launched the magazine The Furrow, providing information to farmers on how to become more profitable. The magazine, considered the first custom publication, is still in circulation, reaching 1.5 million readers in 40 countries in 12 different languages.[7]
Michelin developed the Michelin Guide in 1900, offering drivers information on auto maintenance, accommodations, and other travel tips. 35,000 copies were distributed for free in this first edition.[8]
Jell-O salesmen went door-to-door, distributing their cookbook for free in 1904. Touting the dessert as a versatile food, the company saw its sales rise to over $1 million by 1906.[9]
The phrase "content marketing" was used as early as 1996,[10] when John F. Oppedahl led a roundtable for journalists at the American Society for Newspaper Editors. In 1998, Jerrell Jimerson held the title of "director of online and content marketing" at Netscape.[11] In 1999, author Jeff Cannon wrote,"In content marketing, content is created to provide consumers with the information they seek."[12]
By 2014, Forbes Magazine's website had written about the seven most popular ways companies use content marketing.[13] In it, the columnist points out that by 2013, use of content marketing had jumped across corporations from 60% a year or so before, to 93%[14] as part of their overall marketing strategy. Despite the fact that 70% of organizations are creating more content, only 21% of marketers think they are successful at tracking ROI.[15]
A new term called content remarketing has surfaced in the recent past. It is a form of online targeted advertising where consumers are targeted based on their previous internet actions. Remarketing is the process of targeting a website's previous visitors with content after they leave the site, in an effort to reengage them and bring them back to take a desired action.
Modern Examples[edit]
The rise of content marketing has turned traditional businesses into media publishing companies.[16] As James O'Brian of Contently wrote on Mashable, "The idea central to content marketing is that a brand must give something valuable to get something valuable in return. Instead of the commercial, be the show. Instead of the banner ad, be the feature story."[17]
Red Bull, which sells a high-energy beverage, has published YouTube videos, hosted experiences, and sponsored events around extreme sports and activities like mountain biking, BMX, motocross, snowboarding, skateboarding, cliff-diving, freestyle motocross, and Formula 1 racing. Red Bull Media House is a unit of Red Bull that "produces full-length feature films for cinema and downstream channels (DVD, VOD, TV)."[18] The Red Bulletin is an international monthly magazine Red Bull publishes with a focus on men's sports, culture, and lifestyle.
The personal finance site Mint.com used content marketing, specifically their personal finance blog MintLife, to build an audience for a product they planned to sell. According to entrepreneur Sachin Rekhi, Mint.com concentrated on building the audience for MintLife "independent of the eventual Mint.com product."[19] Content on the blog included how to guides on paying for college, saving for a house, and getting out of debt. Other popular content included in-depth interview and a series on financial disasters called "Trainwreck Tuesdays." Popularity of the site surged as did demand for the product. "Mint grew quickly enough to sell to Intuit for $170 million after three years in business. By 2013, the tool reached 10 million users, many of whom trusted Mint to handle their sensitive banking information because of the blog's smart, helpful content."[20]

Ja'Quan Newton cradled the basketball in his right hand and launched off one foot toward the hoop. His flashy green sneakers went soaring in the air as he extended the ball behind his head.

"Basket scored by No. 20, Ja-wan Newton," the Archbishop Ryan public address announcer bellowed.

Historical Traveler Reviews Foscari Palace Venice
Lovely stay
My wife and I stayed at the Foscari Palace from 9-17 November, and would heartily recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation in Venice. The location, midway along the Grand Canal and therefore in the heart of Venice, is perfect. The hotel is beautifully appointed, and we were delighted with our room, especially the huge bed and the large, wall-mounted TV. The bathroom was large, lovely and warm, and the bath and shower were fantastic. The breakfast was first class, served in a very pleasant dining room. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service excellent. We will definitely be back!!
This really is a palace!!!
We just got back from a wonderful week in magical Venice. It really is a dream! No cars, no stress. Very nice people and the best food. We found the absolutle best kept secret in hotels. It is the Foscari Palace hotel on Campo santa sofia. It is a 4 star hotel but it should be a 5 or a 10 if there was such a thing. It is a newly renovated actual palace with large clean beautifully decorated rooms and beautiful bathrooms. You arrive at the door by water taxi. The whole building is gorgeous, very light and airy with a large lounge area, beautiful small well stocked bar and if you explore you can find a lovely patio on the roof. The staff was all very friendly and helpful and spoke beautiful english. You really had the feeling they were there to tend to your every need. In off season our room was just over $100 a night. any place else you may have spent $300+ for an equal room. This includes a great breakfast buffet every morning with everything from pastries, yogurt to fresh fruit and pancakes and bacon. The hotel is not right in the touristy part of town but a very pleasant residential part and about 5 minutes to the center of everything. There are gondolas right outside the door. also the very best restaurants everywhere. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic fairytale place to stay.
Does not honour bookings
Do not trust the reservation service of this hotel because it could ruin your stay in Venice. I made a reservation for 5 and 6 November through Venere for Foscari Palace Hotel. On arrival the hotel reception claimed that a reservation had not been made although they were shown a copy confirmation email issued by themselves. After various consultations we were allocated a room for the of 5 November but told that we had to leave the next day. Another hotel was found for the following night by the Foscari management, but of a far lower standard and much further out from the main centre. We felt very disappointed in the way we were treated
Wonderful hotel
My family and I stayed at the Foscari Palace Hotel from October 8th to the 11th. We asked for the suite with a view and got a two room suite that faced the canal and the Rialto Market. The room was fantastic with a front room living-dining area with large windows and a flat panel tv. My teenage kids had there own room which combined with ours to make a three room suite. The staff, breakfast and atmosphere were superb. They had a free happy hour on Saturday night and gave us goodie boxes at check out. We will definitely stay here again if they can stay so affordable.
Fantastic stay
4 of us stayed from the 5th to the 8th October 2004, having found the hotel on Expedia. What a find! Friendly and helpful staff (except for a rather officious temporary manager), fantastic rooms with modern flat screen TVs (if you need them in Venice). Our room was large and in fact the bathroom was designed for a disabled person, which shows great foresight for a modern hotel. Our friends' room was smaller but still extremely comfortable with a great bathroom.
A really great breakfast with fanastically fresh fruit. The hotel is in a great position on the opposite side of The Grand Canal to the fish market and very close to the Ca' D'Oro Vaporetto stop and the Ca D'Oro is almost next door.
The hotel staff recomended some really good restaurants nearby.
Unforgettable, for all the RIGHT reasons
Where do I start. This hotel is an absolute gem, the rooms (we stayed in a superior) are fantastic the quality is exceptional. Every detail taken care of.
The Shower for example is a full body one, complete with 6 body jets, and a foot reviver. The bath is a Jacuzzi, and there is also a digital sound system in everyroom, so you can be invigorated whilst listening to Vivaldi. If TV is your thing, although I can't understand why in Venice, then check out the wall mounted flat TV.
The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.
Make sure you use the roof terrace, its views over venice are spectacular.
The square below Campo Santa Sofia, is a wonderful quiet area wher people just sit to read or relax, and for 40c you can jump on a gondola which will take you across the Grand Canal, where you can check out the fabulous markets leading up to the Rialto Bridge.
The Hotel is new (June 04) so make sure you get there before it gets in all the brochures for next year and the price doubles!
Just one thing to mention on this, is that it is new. If you want old, battered, lived in, and antiques in your room, then this may not be for you.
My personal view, was that this is an outstanding Hotel with quality throughout, and I would have no hesitation in recomending it to you.
It made my wife and I's anniversary a very memorable one indeed.
Fantastic Foscari Palace
The Foscari Palace opened in June 2004, and I was lucky enough to stay there for 5 days in July. The first reason you should stay in this hotel is the location. Its is right on the Grand Canal (some of the rooms overlook the canal), right opposite the Rialto market (fresh fish, fruit and vegetable every day - a real slice of Venetian life), and less than 10 minutes walk from the famous Rialto Bridge. Transport-wise, the Ca D'Oro vaporetto stop is less than 2 mins away, and the traghetto (a gondola 'taxi' that takes you across the Grand Canal) is right outside the hotel lobby.
The second reason to stay here - comfort. The hotel has all the modern conveniences that you would expect to find in a 4* hotel, but being small (only 28 rooms), it feels much more private. The hotel has a roof terrace with views over the canal, and the upper level gives you a panoramic view over the whole city.
In all, the hotel and the courteous and helpful staff made for a great stay - I would highly reccommend it.

It's Yours Lyrics[Intro: Tia London]
You know that it's yours, that its yours, that its yours, that its yours, that its yours, baby (x4)
[Verse 1: Twista]
Let me get straight to it
Her body like a Bugatti, ain't nothing like a Buick
When we get passionate I'm in love with how you do it
No longer want to lease it, I want the title to it
I might have blew it but now I know I want to own it
And get rid of opponents but I know fame can be blind
Never knew nothing like it is so one of a kind
I know that it would be stupid not to claim it is mine
She fit me like a glove, Hop up right on top of her man
And with no hands she give me a hug
Go ahead and reverse it baby you pop it like a [clean]
Asking me how I feel when i am inside your love
Better than the mall
In other words whenever I'm up in your hall
I feel the ripples on the wall
A spectacular feeling when i get up in them [clean]
And with no hands she can give an applause
Cause you got me gone, all I can say is "True that"
Whenever I put the soap [clean] inside you at
Snug, but you can see its something you ain't new at
Ooh, I can feel it when you do that
I can feel it when you do that
She got a [clean] stuck
Murder with the [clean] now you just been cut
She got the [clean] bush and I'mma [clean]
Telling me that it's yours and i can't get enough
And she talkin' like
[Hook: Tia London]
Tell me that it's the one
Tell me baby it's the one you been waiting for
Tell me so I can make sure
Tell me baby 'cause you know that its yours
You know that it's yours, that its yours, that its yours, that its yours, that its yours, baby (x3)
[Verse 2: Twista]
She got a body like a Maserati
And she got the owochi cochi like a 'Rochi
Fuck her in the back of the Kawasaki
But the flow is a classic so it's probably a Harley
Hotty be better than any thot around here
I see you [?] that I can be your manager
My place so let me show you I can handle ya
[?] face fuck you right over the banister
And it's the way that you be telling me that its yours baby
How I'm a breathe of fresh air, you been so bored lately
And how you like to be reassured by me telling you that you the one
And how it be mine and how I'm going crazy
Got a nigga caught up in it
Every time I'm all up [clean]
Loving every minute
All I know is I don't wanna finish
And I'mma be talking to you while I [clean] when you ask me to
[Hook: Tia London]

Gather round, dear readers, it's story time. In 1977, newly recruited cardiologist George Diamond was working on devices and methods to improve diagnostics of heart diseases at LA's Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His brilliant mind and a complex probability theorem aside, he didn't have very much to work with - a TI-59 programming calculator with a whopping 1kb of RAM, which he used to write the first health app. It was a program that calculated the probability of heart disease based on test results, and we trust that he didn't name it "Heartie" or "Probabilify".
Diamond quickly maxed out the calc's memory, so he went to one of Santa Monica's first computer stores and did what many creatives still do today - he bought an Apple computer. Using the $2700 (at the time) Apple II, which had significantly larger 48kb RAM memory, along with two floppy disk drives, Diamond wrote the "complete" first health app - a program which analyzed multiple diagnostic tests for diagnosis of coronary disease. Pleased with the result, he decided to give the whole app startup thing a try – decades before it was even a thing! Alas, one couldn't simply whip up a Kickstarter page back in '77, so Mr. Diamond had to pitch his project the old-school way - by phoning Apple in Cupertino. Which he did. A secretary put Steve Jobs on the line, and minutes later, the two arranged a meeting. The rest of the story is best told in the words of George Diamond himself:
I described to him what I had been doing, and how impressed I was with his device. Other people thought it was a toy, but I thought that, eventually, a computer like this should be on the desk of every doctor in the world. I thought my program could be a means toward that end, and I would love to get his thoughts about it, and if he would be willing to do something to help us advance that idea.
Steve said he was very impressed with what I had done, and that he agreed about the potential for the future, but frankly, he was not interested in working on this. I asked why. He said: 'You have to understand. This is something that nobody in the world yet understands. I can't be distracted. I'm trying to make the best hammer I can make, the best hammer in the world. You can use my hammer to tear something down, or you can use it to build something up. I really don't care what you do with my hammer. I just want to make the best possible hammer. And what you are doing is a wonderful bit of construction, but to me it's a distraction.'
I really don't care what you do with my hammer. I just want to make the best possible hammer.At the time, it seems Steve Jobs was only interested in building the best computer possible, and everything else was a "distraction". So George Diamond thanked him, flew back to LA, and proceeded to become Dr. George Diamond, MD. Meanwhile, Apple became Apple, and is currently gearing up to introduce its first health app, Healthbook, which will debut in iOS 8 - a mere 37 years later.

Joseph Palermo: It's as if the baby boomers, having gotten their own quality schooling for a fraction of the price students pay today, are kicking the ladder out from under their children and grandchildren and substituting it with a shoddy, privatized product to which they, in their youth, never would have succumbed.
Defending the Public Sector
Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: The attacks are part of a well orchestrated, decades-long campaign initiated by the corporate sector, which is intent on ensuring that government policy be crafted in their own narrow self interests, which they disingenuously equate with the public good.
Kudos to Jerry Brown
Joseph Palero: Working hand-in-hand with California's teachers, nurses, students of all ages, and the state's labor unions, Governor Brown rallied the troops, and in doing so helped save from fiscal ruin not only the state's public schools but also the nation's biggest and most important system of public higher education.
California's Public Higher Education Must Be Protected
Joseph Palermo: I have been astonished to see how fast and careless some baby-boomer administrators and ambitious faculty members can be when aggressively pushing "reforms" that would virtually gut the university system their parents' generation built.
CSU Leaders Modeling "People's University" After "For-Profit Education Sector"
Lillian Taiz: Ex officio members of the CSU Board of Trustees—the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of education, and Assembly speaker—now need to send their own designees to Trustees meetings to participate in discussions and cast votes on behalf of the constitutional state leaders and the legislature.
California's Struggle to Save Higher Education Continues
UC Swindle: California's Apartheid Schoolhouse
Sikivu Hutchinson: It's simply not acceptable to blame the university's egregious disregard for the needs of students of color on the bigoted acts of ignorant white or "minority" students. UCSD's gross underrepresentation of Black students reflects the UC system's institutional neglect of recruitment and outreach to African American high schools.
California's Higher Education System Is Worth Fighting For – And We Will
Joseph Palermo: Sadly, the clear winner in recent years has been the California of small things and small ideas. Through an outdated flaw in the structure of governance, one-third of the Legislature has a stranglehold on the state's finances. The other two-thirds (the majority) knows the state is heading in the wrong direction. Yet given its lack of control over the purse strings, it's left flailing around passing a lot of symbolic laws that go nowhere.
California: Killing the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs
Governor Arnold Scwharzenegger and the Republicans in the Legislature who control California's finances have apparently concluded that it is not even worth trying to compete with India and China anymore. California's "leaders," by abandoning the CSU, are throwing in the towel.
Ensure Stimulus Funds Reach the CSU System
The faculty in the California State University are deeply concerned about the rapid decline in the ability of our nation's largest four-year university system to deliver higher education to all eligible students. Our public university system is staggering from deep cuts to state funding already made this year, last year, and earlier this decade. Now […]
California's Failure to Invest in Higher Education Gives the State Little Hope for Economic Prosperity in the 21st Century Global Economy
As California's leaders continue to wrestle with how to tackle the ever growing budget deficit, cuts to education and in particular public higher education, continue to be mentioned as a solution to economic tumult. Such cuts would be a blow to a State that already has fallen from "trend-setter" in terms of education and economic […]

Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
Full-time Pediatric Intensivist
Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
Bloomberg Children's Center
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
1800 Orleans Street
Baltimore, MD 21287
Phone: 410-955-6412
Appointment Phone: 410-955-6412
Utpal S Bhalala, MD joined the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) of Johns Hopkins Hospital as a full-time faculty in Pediatric Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine and an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD in 2012. He completed medical school at Seth G. S. Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, University of Mumbai - one of the top training programs in India.
Being inspired through the special needs and challenges of pediatric patients during his rotatory internship, he opted for residency training in Pediatrics. He was honored with Diploma Child Health by College of Physicians and Surgeons of Bombay in 2002 and Diplomate of National Board in Pediatrics in 2004 after his Pediatric Residency training in Mumbai.
His dissertation work on Vitamin D status of exclusively breast-fed infants won National Research Award in India. Being always excited to take on the challenges and inspired to learn, he decided to pursue career in pediatric critical care medicine in the USA. In 2005, He spent 4 months as an observer at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of University of Maryland under the mentorship of Dr. Alice Ackerman and Dr. Wynne Morrison. This experience fueled his enthusiasm to learn evidence-based, multidisciplinary-led practice of critical care medicine and family-centered care in the USA.
In 2006, He joined Pediatric Residency program at Childrens Hospital of New Jersey at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center which was then chaired by Dr. Timothy Yeh. During his residency training, he gained tremendous amount of exposure to clinical practice, research and education in general and subspecialty pediatrics. He had opportunities to teach medical students, juniors and nursing staff, work on research projects, volunteer at pediatric oncology summer camp and community school sports medicine camp, networking with colleagues.
His fellowship training in pediatric critical care medicine at The Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia (CHOP), the oldest and one of the largest free standing children's hospitals in the U.S. strengthened his ability to excel in taking care of critically ill and injured children. It also allowed him perform cutting-edge research under mentorship of Dr. Vinay Nadkarni and Robert Berg, two giants in science of cardiac arrest and CPR.
Currently he is Chair-Elect of the Steering Committee of the In-Training Section of Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and enjoys networking with In-training professionals and organizing In-Training sessions and workshops on job interview at the SCCM Annual Congress. His organizational skills and his ability to collaborate and network with senior members of the society have benefitted many In-training professionals over last two years. In fact the In-training panel discussion on job interview, which he organized, was very well received at the congress. His long-term career objective is to develop an academic career that incorporates exceptional clinical care with a focus of translational research on cardiac arrest and resuscitation.
Eventually, his goal is to become an independent, fully funded investigator focusing on cardiac arrest and resuscitation. His final long-term career objective will be to mentor future investigators in critical care medicine, especially in the field of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.

Hobbits would only drink ales since lagers are not found on Middle-earth
So, you want to eat like a hobbit do you? The big old dragon of Middle-Earth recipes is the charmingly retro 'Middle-Earth Recipes' (now with a more modern and photo-friendly blog version ) from which NPR's Beth Accomando has complied an all-day feasting menu suitable for marathon watching (or reading) assorted Lord Of The Rings media while Recipewise sticks to foods served by Bilbo in The Hobbit itself and explains the Victorian convention of high vs. low tea. (Author Diane Duane's own Hobbit-inspired recipe, Took Family Seed Cake can be made with poppy rather than caraway seed if that's your thing) Need something to do while digesting? Why not read about the history and meaning of the rural comfort food in Tolkien at Strange Horizons " Well Stocked Larders: Food And Diet Of Hobbits" by Stephanie Green.

Where Does Our Alphabet Come From?
We see it every day on signs, billboards, packaging, in books and magazines; in fact, you are looking at it now — the Latin or Roman alphabet, the world's most prolific, most widespread abc. Typography is a relatively recent invention, but to unearth the origins of alphabets, we will need to travel much farther back in time, to an era contemporaneous with the emergence of civilisation itself. The origins of abc.

We primarily serve Lee County, including the cities of Fort Myers, North Fort Myers Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, San Carlos Park, Estero and Bonita Springs.
We also publish Parent & Child magazine, Grandeur Magazine, and the Marco Island Sun Times.

When was The News-Press started?
The News-Press beginnings can be credited to bad
navigation. In 1884, Capt. James Rowan was hired to deliver passenger
Stafford Cleveland to a town in Central Florida. Rowan missed the turn
and ended up dumping Cleveland on the shores of Fort Myers, printing
presses and all. The result: the Fort Myers Press was born in the tiny
Gulf Coast community of 349.
Ten years later, Cleveland's newspaper was to get some not-so-friendly competition. The Tropical News and the Fort Myers Press became fierce competitors. The situation became so ugly that the county commissioners stepped in and arranged a merger: The Fort Myers Press absorbed The Tropical News, hence, The News-Press.
How many employees work at The News-Press?
The News-Press employs approximately 450 people who work within seven departments.
What is the mission of The News-Press?
The News-Press is a world-class organization dedicated to serving the local community through exceptional journalism, sales and marketing. We are customer focused, grounded in integrity, powered by innovation and driven by excellence, every day.
