Google PageRank is very often referred to as an indicator of a website's importance on the web, how well it's optimized for search, or where it will appear on the search engine results page (SERP). Unfortunately, it is not a valid indicator of any of these.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is going to be hosting his own television show. And now for the first time in history, Americans are asking: how can we get access to Canadian TV?
Plus, President Obama is suffering from a case of second-term depression. Thankfully, Saturday Night Live has an extra-strength cure.
(Warning: mild to moderate Obamacare symptoms may still persist.)

(Corrects text of headline to show economy contracted)
Spain's economy shrank in the first three months of 2012 as exports slowed and household spending fell amid the harshest austerity measures in more than three decades aimed at taming the euro area's third-largest deficit.
Gross domestic product declined 0.3 percent from the previous quarter, when it fell the same amount, the Madrid-based National Statistics Institute said today, confirming an April 30 estimate. Household spending contracted 0.6 percent from a year earlier, while exports rose 2.2 percent, slowing from 5.2 percent in the previous quarter, INE said.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, in power since Dec. 21, is battling a surge in borrowing costs as investors' concern about Spain's banking industry and a possible exit of Greece from the euro increases the risk of contagion from Europe's debt crisis.
The yield on Spain's benchmark 10-year bond rose to 6.317 percent today, compared with less than 5 percent in early March, before Rajoy's People's Party government said the country will miss its 2012 budget deficit target.
The extra cost investors demand to hold Spanish bonds rather than German debt was 485 basis points, after rising to a euro-era record of 5.07 percentage points yesterday.
Plugging Car Sales
Rajoy's government forecasts a 1.7 percent contraction this year as it raises taxes and cuts public spending to reduce the deficit by around 27 billion euros ($34 billion) with the country's 17 semi-autonomous regions aiming to halve their own shortfall.
The nation's unemployment rate, the highest in the European Union at 24.4 percent, leaving half of young people without a job, is weighing on demand. A 22 percent plunge in car registrations in Spain contributed to European deliveries' declining for a seventh consecutive month in April, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturers' Association said yesterday.
"Spain is suffering a relapse, which is more intense than the European average, practically without having recovered from a four year-long crisis," Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said on Feb. 7.

The Daily Show on the Fall of Muammar Qaddafi Blog Home Texas Cuts Inmates' Lunch to Reduce Costs, Annoy Civil Libertarians
Quote Unquote: Mount Rushmore
Andrew Sullivan on President Obama's track record with regards to killing bad people in faraway places…
"To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now."
Well, luckily for everybody, Obama is a Democrat, so we're free to hand all the credit off to other countries. Which is nice because it means we're finally exporting something besides jobs.

Teacher: Vincent, not to be presumptuous, but your short story is truly fantastic. Did you really write it?
Vincent: Yes, I wrote, while my mother dictated..
What did the bald man say when he was given a comb for his birthday?"
"Oh, thank you! I'll never part with it!"
A father was playing with his daughter when the little one said: "Dad, I read in school that animals get a new fur coat every winter."
"Quiet!" retorted the father. "Your mother is in the next room!"
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel.
"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.
"The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37."
"And that's how you built an empire?" the boy asked.
"Heavens, no!" the man replied. "Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

Mozart's The Magic Flute may be the most ambitious score the University of Miami's Frost Opera Theater has yet attempted, and the opening night performance was a triumph for the vocal program's gifted students.
While the young singers may have lacked the polish that experienced professionals can bring to Mozart's final masterpiece, they more than compensated with attractive voices and vivid characterizations Thursday night.

Split a bottle with my dad on father's day.
Black to dark brown with a thin but lingering head. Smells of roast malt, coffee and an initial strong burst of dark fruit. The cassis fades and melds with the rest of the scents after awhile or maybe I just wasn't expecting it but it's a nice touch. Taste is similar to the aroma with typical roast malt and char being the base but a nice touch of currants for personality. Not thin but probably the lighter side of medium bodied.
By far the best Henniker I've had.

Pours a light tan, three finger head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Deep ruby color, nearly opaque. Good carbonation and light bodied. Roasted malt, coffee nose and flavor is similar with hints of vanilla. Nearly burnt coffee finish. $7.65 for a 22oz bottle from Bert's Better Beers Hooksett NH.

Henniker's Working Man's Porter has more of a really dark brown color thank the classic black color of porters. It does have a slight red hue, and thin light/white head.
Smells of chocolate, coffee greet the nose along with light biscuit smell and strong alcohol aroma.
The taste is sour with strong bitterness. A strong soy flavor is prevalent, a pattern I have noticed in certain porters. roasted chocolate and a slight hit of smoke. Very clearly malt forward. As is warms up there a a taste of grassy nuttiness, IE toasted walnut and dry cocoa powder
The mouth-feel is thin and leaves a dry woody mouth. The carbonation is low and leaves an almost tannin coating on my tongue.
Overall it is not as sweet and inviting as I like my porters. the bitterness left the soy saltiness that lingered into a dry mouth feel. The bitterness did calm as it warmed.

Very delicious - poured into a tulip glass and the color is black with hints of charcoal grey. Small little brownish white head.
Really impressed with this beer, rich and malty yet almost effervescent. Bubbly mouthfeel gives way to a deep and robust flavor with hints of black cherry. A pleasant surprise so glad I picked it up! Just what I was looking for in a porter today

A = Very dark brown, creamy, moderately dissipating head that leaves ample lacing.
S = My favorite characteristic of this porter. A robust porter smell, with some coffee, but mostly honest malts and hops. I didn't get the herbs and blackcurrants as offered on the label, but that may just be my nose.
T = Just as it smells, but just a little too hop-forward for my tastebuds.
M = True to its kind, a certain thickness (not syrupy) on the tongue. Finishes clean, except for the hops.
O = I like this porter and the price point is such that I would revisit. I think their suggestion that it would pair well with "oysters, shepherds pie, and a hard day's work" is somewhat accurate. I am sure it is offered as somewhat poetic, but the oysters would be a hard sell for me to pair this with oysters. I like the shepherd's pie idea, or maybe a hearty beef stew or rosemary roasted chicken, or proper roast beef dinner complete with roasted root veggies.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass, the ABV on my bottle says 5.9, no freshness that I could see. Pours a mahogany, with a one inch light tan head, that leaves behind loads of lace. Smell is caramel, toffee, bread, and some brown sugar. Taste is all of that caramel most dominant, a little bit of raisin that I didn't get in the nose. Body is medium, nice carbonation, not dry, and easy going down, but taste bigger than its 5.9abv. This is a solid brew from them, they describe it as a English Style Dark Ale, doesn't really taste like a Porter.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
Complete darkness with a tan lacing that sticks around for a while. Rounded roasty aromas of brown bread, molasses, and coffee with hints of yeast and dark fruit. Super smooth with a semi-chewy medium body. Tasty charred grain tone throughout, mild fruitiness suggestion currants. Dried hay with undertones of coffee and carob in the middle. Ends a bit on the dry side with fading roasted flavors.
A stand up Porter here, I don't see getting tired of this beer at all.

From the 650 ml. bottle. Sampled on October 26, 2013.
The pour is very dark brown to nearly black. As I get to the bottom of the bottle a bit of sediment shows up. There is a small beige head that settles down and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is an array of characters including coffee, coffee grinds, smoked malts, burnt malts, black currant, and herbs. Minor earthy hop note.
The body was thinner than I might have liked but that made for easier drinking.
The flavor expands the black currant and herbal notes liberally and leaves the smokiness and coffee back in the dust. There is a low bitterness at the finish. A very nice porter.

Hello! I live in Dallas, TX with my husband and two young daughters. I was a technical professional before leaving the corporate world to spend more time with my children. While the kids were in school, I started a video blog on card-making. I have posted over 130 videos in the last two years! A friend got me scrapbooking many, many years ago. I discovered card-making about 5 years ago and got hooked on the art of small projects that impact others. J I am very grateful to be part of this awesome papercrafting community. I hope you enjoy my cards for today – being creative with Penny Black was very easy! The quality and variety of the stamps is wonderful. Thank you Penny Black!
You can see more from Darlene by visiting her BLOG. Thank you Darlene, beautiful work!

Gil McDougald, ten-year Yankee vet, passes awayBy
Gil McDougald, the 1951 Rookie of the Year, passed last night at his home in New Jersey at the age of 82. According to his family, the ten-year Yankee vet died from complications from prostate cancer. McDougald, a versatile infielder who played third, second and short during his decade with the Yanks, was a five-time All Star with a career line of .276/.356/.410. He won five World Series with the Yankees and retired at the age of 32 only when it became apparent that he would be selected in the 1961 expansion draft. The Times has an obituary, and William over The Yankee U has an excellent look back at McDougald. Our thoughts go out to the McDougald family.
12 Comments»
Along with Willie Mays, he won the 5th ROY award.
All I knew about McDougald was that he killed Herb Score.
He won five rings, played in eight World Series, and his 40 bWAR is 19th on the Yankee list, ahead of Don Mattingly and Joe Gordon.
RIP, Gil
Bill James has always credited Gil McDougald as the man who made Casey Stengel as genius with the Yankees, simply because he could play basically anywhere and excel anywhere.
Another great Yankee lost.
Another Yankee gone from the days of my youth. Terrific obit in the Times.
He was the type of ballplayer that would have fit in well with the 98 Yanks…not a star, but a really good player who, like team mates Bauer, Woodling, Howard, and Collins, came through in many ways when it counted…versatile ballplayers who could play small ball and fill-in at various spots on the field and not hurt you. Also known down here at the NJ shore as a gentleman.
I was fortuante to watch Gil on the family 13″ screen as a young boy. He played the infield with consistent confidence. He was on 5 WS winners and had a part of all of them. To you younger guys think Roy White. I believe is a good example of his play.
He did not kill Herb Score but hit a line drive up the middle which hit Score in the eye effectively ending his career a few years thereafter.
Its ok to say thoughts and prayers.
All you need to know is that Yogi and he were close and had his respect.No greater measure of the man than that.
The rookie McDougald had one of the weirdest batting stances with his left foot way in the bucket and the bat drooping below horizontal. I believe he is still the only rookie with a grand slam in the World Series!

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has admitted interest in West Bromwich Albion midfielder Graham Dorrans.
Dorrans has been put up for sale by Albion this month.
Lambert said: "I saw the figure, was it four million or something? Money dictates a lot. He's a good player Graham, but we only had him while he was young (at Livingston), so I only saw him from afar, but he's done really fine for himself.
"There are loads of players out there that you can cast your eye over, but whether you can afford them or not is a different matter. I've had a chat with the owner Randy Lerner and I know exactly what's what and what's not.
"You can't go and be absolutely crazy. We have to box clever."

I recently came across an interesting blog post on Mike Purdy's Public Contracting Blog that includes a report by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries releasing an updated list of debarred contractors in Washington. The post itself highlights the hugely important issue of contractor debarment that every state or federal contractor should be aware of.
Basically, if you significantly violate certain laws as a contractor on a state or federal construction project (i.e. prevailing wage laws and workers' compensation laws), you may be debarred and no longer allowed to work on a state or federal construction project. Pretty serious stuff.
Debarment may last until all penalties are paid in full or, if those laws are violated on numerous occasions, a contractor might be debarred for a period of years on top of monetary fines.
The report by the Washington State Department of Labor cited above provides folks with some concrete data on this issue so we can all better understand what most frequently causes debarment. The report includes the names of all Washington State contractors who are debarred, why they were debarred, how long they are debarred for, and whether or not their penalties have been paid.
Though this report only regards debarment by Washington State authorities for Washington State projects, each state has its own annually updated list you can refer to online, as does the federal government. All in all, they look a lot like the Washington list.
So, most importantly, how can public contractors avoid debarment? The answer here I can give you: focus on prevention.
First, be certain that you are not violating any prevailing wage laws, workers' compensation laws, contractor registration laws, apprenticeship requirements, and/or industrial insurance laws. Read up on the laws yourself if possible (we have some information about state and federal contracting laws on this blog), or hire a lawyer to help you. In the long run, the money you spend with an attorney to understand and accommodate these legalities will be worth it.
Second, check the relevant state or federal list of debarred contractors to make sure you're not signing a contract with a debarred contractor or subcontractor.
Finally, keep meticulous records and be extra careful to make sure you are complying with these laws.
Doing whatever it takes to keep your contracting business alive and thriving is key here, so make sure to remain proactive.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON — A savings of approximately $37,000 for claims for medical care to Jefferson County prisoners has reduced the overall total of claims the full County Board will approve on Monday.
During Thursday's Fiscal Committee meeting, it was reported the county rebilled for services rendered by hospitals through Medicaid, reducing the amount. Administrative Assistant Suzy Tate there are at least two other claims pending that may reduce the county's claims another $37,000.
Treasurer Dan Knox reported the county had approximately $141,000 in claims to be approved. He also reported the balance in the General Corporate working cash fund is $240,032, although that number is expected to climb to $250,000 by next week. Knox also said he is holding approximately $32,000 in the treasurer's office for past claims.
Knox said payrolls have looked "considerably well" in recent months, and the county's fiscal condition continues to improve.
"Are we paying all of our bills on time? No. But are we getting them paid in a decent amount of time? Yes," said Knox, who cautioned another $200,000 payroll is coming up in two weeks and the county has an $84,000 insurance premium due by the end of the month.
Knox reported the county's local use tax and state income tax receipts are coming in a timely manner, and the county has received August payments in its one-quarter cent sales tax and 1 percent sales tax accounts. The county received $95,650 from its Public Safety tax in August, with a bank balance of $1.8 million.
"If the will of the people is upheld, that tax will sunset in 2024 and you'll have 10 years of payments for which you might have $3 million at that time to make close to $10 million worth of payments," said Chairman Robert White. "So the idea there may be some access funds is because the assumption was the refinancing was understood the sales tax would run out, but upon further investigation says no. In fact the provision on the ballot was that it would stop in 2024."
White and Knox confirmed the county can't start paying off the bond debt on the jail until 2020 without being penalized.
"Basically future generations will be looking at anywhere from $6 million to $7 million in obligated debt in which there is no funding for," White said."Imagine this board trying to come up with $950,000 to make a bond payment."
Board member Jim Laird said it's his opinion the one-quarter cent sales tax will have to remain on until the debt is paid off.
The Committee also learned a savings of about $4,500 will be available since the county does not have to full coverage on four Humvee vehicles under the care of the sheriff's department. Insurance agent Randy Martin of Diamond Brothers told committee members the vehicles need liability insurance only, and Sheriff Roger Mulch said the vehicles are on loan from the federal government.
"The federal government has surplus military property that they only assign to sheriffs," Mulch said. "If you acquire something from the federal government they want you to insure it naturally, but it's up to the county how they want to insure it. If something happens to that vehicle, we do not have to supplement it back to them, we don't have to give them money for it. It's ours." Mulch said if the county disposes of the vehicles, they must inform the feds of the transaction or if destroyed, notification is required.
Mulch said the vehicles are invaluable and are placed strategically in the four corners of the county to respond to a potential emergency.

A UCLA basketball team with high expectations travels to Houston to play a Texas team in a football stadium … stop me if you've heard this one already.
History is not on UCLA's side when the Bruins play Texas in Reliant Stadium on Saturday.
It's been 44 years since UCLA last tried this. Lew Alcindor came back with his first collegiate loss. Houston, led by Elvin Hayes, upset the No. 1-ranked Bruins in the Astrodome.

Nestlé SA may be best known for its candy bars, instant coffee, and Quik chocolate drinks, but sweet things aren't all that the brand has up its sleeve. This week Nestlé bought a significant stake in Accera, a biotechnology company involved in "medical foods development" including the production of Axona, a prescription-based milkshake-type drink meant to manage and improve symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Nestlé hasn't disclosed how much money it invested in Accera, not to mention how large of a stake in the company it purchased – all that is known is that it was enough stake to earn the global superpower a seat on Accera's board of directors:
"The significance of this is not the size of the investment, but the fact that it is our first step in developing our brain health portfolio," said Luis Cantarell, president and chief executive of Nestlé Health Science, a subsidiary set up by the Vevey, Switzerland, company last year.
But while it's not known exactly how much money Nestlé has spent on this endeavor, it is known how much the company plans to spend in the future: WSJ notes that Nestlé has plans to invest in the vicinity of $500 million over the next ten years in health-related foods and drinks along the lines of Axona.
With that in mind, even if Nestlé only invested a relatively small amount into Accera it still appears to be a smart move. By aligning itself with a smaller business that shares its future goals and supplying the investment funding to keep up research it's able to ensure that, when medical breakthroughs happen, not just Accera but also Nestlé will be at the forefront of it all.

Updated at 2:04 p.m. Wednesday
Former San Diego Chargers star Junior Seau died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound at his beachfront North San Diego County home Wednesday, authorities reported.
Emergency crews responded to a report of a possible suicide at the house in the 600 block of The Strand South in Oceanside shortly after 9:30 a.m., a dispatcher said.
According to Police Chief Frank McCoy, Seau's girlfriend found him at about 9:35 a.m. with a gunshot wound to the chest. Medics tried in vain to revive 43-year-old Seau before pronouncing him dead at the scene.
"This case at this point is being investigated as a suicide," the chief said outside the home. "A handgun was found near the body."
Authorities said they did not find a suicide note and are not releasing the name of the girlfriend. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office said it expects to complete an examination in the case Thursday.
Luisa Seau, Seau's mother, thanked the community for their support noting that she "didn't know who would do that" to Seau.
"I appreciate everybody over here to show your love for my son," Luisa said. "I don't know what I'm going to do without my son."
Luisa was surrounded by at least 200 people, some of whom screamed "We love you Mama Seau," while family members sang hymns.
Oceanside resident and friend of the family, Will Owens, said Seau's death is "the loss of a legend" and that he believed the was a "cry for help."
"The man did so much with his life and gave so much to the community," he said. "He was always so approachable when he was out in the neighborhood. He'd talk to anyone."
Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner said he found out while in a meeting this morning while team President Dean Spanos said he heard about while watching the news.
"I want to remember all the good things about him," Spanos said, adding that he last spoke with Seau a little less than a year ago.
Turner said Seau was a mentor to some people—something not everyone has the ability to do—and he will be missed. He added that he had not yet had a chance to talk with players to see how they felt about Seau's death.
The Chargers posted a statement on their Facebook page: "Everyone at the San Diego Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now. We ask everyone to stop what they're doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family."
Seau was a 12-time Pro Bowl selection, and a 10-time All-Pro. He was drafted by the Chargers with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft out of the University of Southern California. He played with the Chargers for 12 years before finishing his career with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.
Seau is the Bolts all-time leader in tackles with 1,288. He also had 47 career sacks and 15 career interceptions.
In November 2011, he was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame. He was also named to the Chargers 50th Anniversary All-Time team, and in 1992 won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year Award. He was also a member of the NFL's 1990s All-Decade Team.
Seau played in two Super Bowls in his career. In 1995, the Chargers lost 49-26 to the San Francisco 49ers. In 2008, Seau was part of the previously undefeated New England Patriots team that lost to the New York Giants 21-17.

The approved the building of new band and visitor bleachers at theat a board meeting on Wednesday.
Dave York Sports will remove the current bleachers that were built in the 1960s and install new ones over the summer months. The district hopes the work will be completed before school starts, board president David Tryon said.
"There were two sets of bleachers that were in really bad shape and weren't worth fixing. We needed to replace those," Tryon said of the band bleachers. "To correct the safety problems with the visitor's bleachers, that would require additional funds to fix that. So the prudent thing to do was to replace everything."
The total bid is $246,950, and the new seats will meet with current safety and handicap guidelines. The visitor's seating capacity will increase from 770 to 1,000.
The will chip in $50,000, and the district is expected to receive an additional $3,646 for the old bleachers scrap value, making the total cost $193,304 for the district. Tryon said no operating funds will be used for the project.
Tryon said the old seats were transferred to the current stadium from the school's previous field on . The seats were showing wear and a handful of spectators have had a few near mishaps, but Tryon said no one was injured.
Tryon said the additional seats might allow the district to host postseason sporting events in the future.

Budget Accommodation Europe Italy Rome Bed & Breakfasts B&B Marjeta
We came from Rome a few days ago and I have to say that our stay in Marjeta was really very pleasant. There were two minor minuses, but nothing special. 1. It was already pretty hot in May so we had to have the window opened all night and our window faced to a quite noisy street.
Welcome to marjeta b&b in Rome!
Marjeta b&b guarantees you all comforts while in Rome. Here you will enjoy one of the finest central locations in Rome, high standards and friendly, comfortable surroundings with up-to-date facilities.
Just outside the door is the Termini Station the citys focal point with a perfect bus, tube, train and airport connections, but within walking distance to the major historical sites like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and more.
Accommodation varies from single, double, and triple and 4beds private rooms to multi-shared -private bath room dorm rooms. All rooms are fully centrally heated, with wooden floors, external bathrooms and hot showers.
Marjeta b&b has all modern amenities including TV, super fully equipped self-catering facilities. Rates also a free maid service.
This spacious and impeccably clean place provides quality budget accommodation in a secure and relaxed atmosphere with easy access to all major tourist attractions while giving the sensation of your own home.
You must arrive within an hour of the arrival time you say if you will be later you must phone reception if not we will not garantee your reservation.
Tourist tax not included: 2 Euro per person per night
Via Principe Amedeo 94
Click here to enlarge map
The rooms themselves are clean, though quite small. The air condition worked, but not very well at all (even on the lowest setting). Also, there was a bad smell throughout the entire place.
To get into this place you have 4 different keys, which you are not shown really how to use. And on top of this there is absolutely no reception, so if you are just on a visit to Rome and don't have a telephone/the number of the people who run it you can be in quite a predicament. So I was led to my room, forced to pay immediately (and the lady actually got angry with me because I didn't have exact change - I didn't take the tourist tax into account, I thought it was included; it's not). Without exact change she wanted to round up, which you should immediately refuse, so we were told to leave the money in our room and they would collect it by the maid (very sketchy).
Also, there is only one bathroom (toilet, shower and sink all in one room), so if there are multiple guests it is a hassle. On top of all of this, we were assured before taking the place that there would be tea/coffee making facilities and a fully equipped self-service kitchen, and we were disappointed. They have a cheap coffee maker, without coffee, tea, or even mugs! There were no utensils and nothing to call this a kitchen besides a sink (that didn't have running water) and a refrigerator. We had a heated argument before she would even leave the door unlocked so that we could use the refrigerator.
The breakfast part of B&B Marjeta is a coffee and pastry of choice at a bar a 6 minute walk away from you. Literally that is all you get, and you have to walk out of your way to get it. We tried many different pastry options and found them all to be quite cheap and disgusting, leaving that film in your mouth after just one bite.
We asked for a discount because of the false advertisement, and we were told that they didn't care what we thought, and that they didn't care if we left any sort of reviews. We booked on hostelworld, and they went so far as to cancel our reservation after we had paid, so that we couldn't leave a review there. All in all, I would absolutely never return. Go at your own risk!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very good location. Nice and clean rooms, helpful stuff.

We came from Rome a few days ago and I have to say that our stay in Marjeta was really very pleasant. There were two minor minuses, but nothing special. 1. It was already pretty hot in May so we had to have the window opened all night and our window faced to a quite noisy street. If you're not used to it, you might have a problem to fall aspleep and will be waken up early in the morning by the bells of St. Maria Maggiore church The air conditioning is in the room but wasn't turned on. 2. There is a photo of a kitchen on Marjeta web page, but we were not allowed to use it. Everything else are just positives - there are three rooms, we occupied two and in the third one, there lived a young french couple we barely new about, one nice bathroom for all (no complaints), room was cleaned every day, we left some pretty valuable stuff in the room and nothing was lost. The owner lives in a flat in the same building, when we arrived, we got a map of Rome and a lot of good advice. Breakfest is served in a nearby bar/caffeteria - you can pick tea or coffee plus a sweet cake or croissant, but no rolls, sandwiches ... Marjeta is positioned really close to the Termini station, it took us like 10 minutes to get there from the train. Colosseo distance 15 minutes max
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Fantastic place! We stayed for 2 nights en route to Milan - in a double room which was huge! Very clean and tidy, the bathroom was immaculate and looked newly renovated. Fantastic location minutes from the main railway station, walking distance to the main ruins - would definately stay here again. This is probably not a place for those looking to party but it is a lovely quiet and clean B&B, and the owner was a lovely friendly man.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this place was! It is listed as a 1 star hotel, so my expectations were rather low... but it was so much nicer than that! I was completely impressed with the cleanliness, and location of the place. It was modern, and because only a couple of rooms are rented out, there's never a big line for the bathroom. I would definitely stay there again, and would highly recommend it to any of you looking for very good quality, and inexpensive accommodation!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Excellent budget accomodation, would recommend it to anyone wishing to travel there on a budget, can be noisy at night, as there seemed a lot of youths staying in other acommodation within the building

|Better environmental performance: A framework for integrated management systems (IMS)
|Alan Griffith, (Department of the Built Environment, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK), Khalid Bhutto, (SafeScope Ltd, Ipswich, UK)
|Alan Griffith, Khalid Bhutto, (2009) "Better environmental performance: A framework for integrated management systems (IMS)", Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, Vol. 20 Iss: 5, pp.566 - 580
|Construction works, Environmental management, Management techniques, United Kingdom
|Article type:
|Research paper
|10.1108/14777830910981230 (Permanent URL)
|Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Purpose – A previous paper in this journal focused on how the integration of standards-based management systems used by major contractors operating within the construction sector could contribute to improvements in the environmental performance of a company. However, it was seen that the lack of a recognised management system framework to guide organisations and their operations was proving inhibitive to success. This paper aims to address that shortcoming, presenting a workable and useful framework for configuring integrated management systems (IMSs) targeted at delivering better environmental performance. It aims to report on a government-funded research project examining the developments in and applications of IMSs applied to the environment, quality and safety of construction projects in the UK.
Design/methodology/approach – The research project used a triangulated approach collating qualitative and quantitative data acquired by the multiple collection methods of questionnaire survey, structured and semi-structured interviews and case studies. The qualitative approach involved the development of theory from data, or grounded theory, and evaluation of data, or analytic induction, while the quantitative approach used data-sampling methods and database coding and analysis.
Findings – The findings show that a number of prominent UK principal contracting organisations have introduced integrated standards-based systems for managing a construction project's environment, quality and safety. Notwithstanding, problems have readily been encountered and these appear to have occurred predominantly from a lack of an effective management system framework within which corporate organisation and project operations are arranged within the context of their business environment. The establishment of a robust framework is highlighted as being fundamental and essential to ensuring better environmental performance.
Originality/value – The research examines environmental performance within the project environment of the construction industry. The findings add to the current body of knowledge and will be of value to contractors seeking to satisfy the environmental requirements of their business through an effective management approach. Moreover, the research has wider value through transferable applications and experiences for other industry sectors.

Update: Drew Brees has personally denied the franchise tag report.
Various reports have said throughout the day that Colts QB Peyton Manning, Saints QB Drew Brees, Patriots G Logan Mankins and Chargers WR Vincent Jackson are seeking some sort of compensation for being named plaintiffs in the Brady vs. NFL antitrust lawsuit.
Chris Kluwe, punter for the Vikings, took his concerns over the issue with those players to Twitter:
Sigh, and once again greed is the operative byword. Congrats Brees, Manning, Mankins, and Jackson for being 'that guy'.#douchebags
Assuming he's probably not the only player who feels that way, there was a bit of backlash today and those plaintiffs have surely been hearing about it, publicly or not. So it's not a surprise to hear that at least two of them are backing off their request.
At this point, NL players have been hearing about how the deal is almost done for a while now. Topics like this aren't high on their list of priorities, given the solidarity they've had throughout the process.

The promoter for unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. told The Times on Saturday that he'd be willing to compromise on U.S. Anti-Doping Agency policy that would leave Mayweather and his tentatively scheduled March 13 opponent, Manny Pacquiao, subject to a blood test on the eve of their mega-fight.
"As long as there's a blood test, as long as there's a urine test and as long as it's random, a [specified] cutoff date is agreeable to us," Mayweather promoter Richard Schaefer said. "We're saying, 'We're OK,' and we hope Pacquiao [and his promoter and trainer] are OK."

Reporting from Washington — Sal Russo cut his first political ad in 1969 as a 23-year-old aide to then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, dispatched to California's Salinas Valley to help a local apricot farmer win a state Assembly seat.
Since then, he has been a mainstay in the state's conservative political circles, consulting for the likes of Gov. George Deukmejian and presidential hopeful Jack Kemp. In the 2008 presidential campaign, he crafted a series of pungent commercials questioning Barack Obama's patriotism in the hopes of bolstering John McCain.

I made two Chinese silk brocade jackets using Burda's 02/2012's pattern no. 112. The silk brocade fabric and lining was bought in Hong Kong in a traditional Chinese department store. I made a long version using black brocade with green lining and another short version for my mom using lime brocade and pink lining. The brocade fabric was underlined with cotton flannel for warmth and support. Lining was sewn to the jacket using hand slipstitches. I also made the frog closures myself. You can see more about the jackets on my blog:

In our time employment picture is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. With each passing day more and more people are buying a camera. This creativity or fashion? That is the question. People's opinion was divided in half. Some believe that a photographer be easy, just buying a camera. And some are beginning to do it for the love of photography. But the fact remains. Now every second person has a digital SLR camera.
Personally, I think it's all the influence of fashion. Our people are influenced by fashion, even very strong. I started photography 4 years ago. It all started when I got into the studio. I started working with a film camera, showed the film, print photos. Then I bought a camera. That's how I started my life as a photographer…
Photography seems to be getting more popular, especially with the use of Digital SLR's. They are much better quality than film cameras and have the advantage of being able to see what you have taken instantly, plus you can delete unwanted images. Many mobile phone companies, including O2.co.uk, have installed small cameras in to their mobile phones, which makes it more convenient to take a quick picture. It is also possible to transfer your photos on to the computer and edit them to create unique and abstract photos.

Wins at the upper levels, losses at the lower levelsBy
Sorry folks, but I only have time for bullet points this weekend…
- Triple-A Scranton (win). Jesus Montero had a hit, and Jorge Vazquez had three. One was a double, one went over the fence. D.J. Mitchell threw six strong innings, allowing two runs.
- Double-A Trenton Game One (win). Corban Joseph had two singles, Zoilo Almonte doubled once, and Yadil Mujica doubled twice. Jeff Marquez allowed two runs in six innings in his latest rehab start.
- Double-A Trenton Game Two is still being played. Here's the box score.
- High-A Tampa (win). Abe Almonte and Ronnier Mustelier (can we can just call him Ronnie?) each had two hits and one of Ronnie's was a double. DeAngelo Mack had three hits including a homer. Brett Marshall gave up two runs in five innings and Dan Burawa chipped in two scoreless.
- Low-A Charleston (loss). Ramon Flores went hitless, but Kelvin DeLeon doubled. Shane Greene got rocked, six runs in seven innings rocked.
- Short Season Staten Island (loss). Mason Williams (one double) and Ben Gamel (two doubles) both had a pair of hits, but no one else in the lineup did anything of note. John Brebbia and Branden Pinder combined to throw three perfect innings to highlight the pitching staff.
- Rookie GCL Yankees (loss). Claudio Custodio, Isaias Tejeda, and Matt Duran all had two hits, and one of Duran's was a double. Dante Bichette Jr., took a rare 0-for-5. Reynaldo Polanco allowed two homers (three runs) in two innings, and Mark Prior struck out a pair of batters in a perfect inning of relief.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A new set of guidelines has women confused about when to get a mammogram. Monday, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended that women wait until age 50 to get that screening for breast cancer. Many aren't taking this news lightly since breast cancer is already the number two killer of women in this country.
Across the South Plains and the country Tuesday women of all ages were talking about breast cancer, and it wasn't a very pleasant debate. Local medical branches and national organizations are disregarding new recommendations on the age women should get mammograms.
The US Preventive Task force is now recommending women not get mammograms at age 40, which is the common practice. They now say women should be screened from ages 50 to 74, and that self breast examinations aren't beneficial and shouldn't even be taught.
Local medical providers like Covenant and UMC think otherwise and are disregarding the new guidelines."It's a terrible idea, they made too much of a change. Right now the protocol calls for a mammogram every year from 40 and on, and they've changed that, skipping an entire decade," said UMC's Chief Radiologist Dr. Frank Quattromani.
In 2008, UMC had a total of 58 breast cancer patients. Thirty percent of those were under 50 years old. On top of that, many were discovered by self breast examinations. "We had a woman in her 20's with breast cancer. She felt it, so that's self evaluation. We had another one at 30 recently, self evaluation found breast cancer," said Quattromani.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation refuses to follow the new guidelines as well, and will continue supporting self breast exams and getting screened at 40. "Mammography is the best screening tool we have, and mammography isn't perfect but it's what we have. We see it detecting breast cancer in women in their 40's if not even earlier," said Ashley Hamm with the Komen Foundation.
That imperfection is what's causing a stir. The task force says younger women have denser breasts, causing unreliable test results. This leads to false positives and unnecessary biopsies. Also statistics show the majority of women develop breast cancer between ages 50 to 85.
But none the less, many radiologists and oncologists say that's a risk they're not willing to take and if this goes into practice, "we're going to miss cancers," said Quattromani.
Insurance companies are influenced by the task force's recommendations, but it's still too early to tell how this will change the health care policies.
