Downtown Beaufort Historic Vacation Home - 4 bedroom, 3 bath
Our 4 bedroom, 3 bath historic home sits in the heart of Downtown Beaufort's prestigious "Old Point". Built in the later 1800's and once the "North Street Aquarium", this house is truly part of Beaufort's history and unlike any other vacation home. The location is wonderful, only 3 short blocks to the bay & water, as well as the shopping, art galleries, restaurants and attractions of Downtown. We have restored the home with tile and heart pine floors, new stainless steel appliances, and impressive antiques from Bali and Indonesia. The large master suite features a king bed, private bathroom with whirlpool tub, flat screen LCD TV, and a private sitting area. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and one bedroom has a pair of twin beds, as well as one double bed. Wireless internet and cable TV are included, and the kitchen is fully equipped. A beautifully landscaped back yard provides the perfect location for an afternoon of relaxation. Three large porches provide great spots to admire the beautiful low country scenery and watch the horse drawn carriage rides pass in front of the home. A short walk is Beaufort's newly renovated Waterfront Park which provides the perfect location for an afternoon of boat watching, fishing, & breathtaking sunsets.
For parents of Parris Island graduates, this house will provide a wonderful place for you and your family to relax and unwind before & after graduation. Located approximately 10 minutes from the Parris Island Gateway, our home offers a luxurious and spacious setting that is ideal for families of graduating Marines.
Hunting Island State Park, Fripp Island, Harbor Island and public boat ramps are all very close. Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah are close enough for day trips.

The Tulane Club of Atlanta is an active group of local alumni who organize social, educational, and cultural activities for Tulane alumni in metro Atlanta. The club is a constituent member of the Tulane Alumni Association (TAA). Founded in 1898, TAA provides a forum for meaningful involvement and interaction among the university's 105,000 alumni, its students, and university leaders.
With more than 3,000 local Tulane alumni, Atlanta has one of the largest concentrations of alumni in the country. We have one of the largest email list of all 60 Tulane clubs, and we are among the most active. In May 2001, the Tulane Alumni Association presented the Young Alumni Volunteer award to the Club's President in recognition of the successful programming and support of local events by Atlanta alumni.
In recent years our events have included annual crawfish boils in Chastain Park, a Mardi Gras Brunch generously sponsored and hosted by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, a Town Hall Breakfast with Tulane President Scott Cowen at the Buckhead Club in the Atlanta Financial Center, Fat Tuesday evening receptions with complimentary New Orleans cuisine from Copeland's restaurant at Tower Place, Braves group seating and pre-game tailgate parties, Big Screen football and College World Series viewing parties, team trivia, numerous Community Outreach projects and happy hours at various spots in metro Atlanta.
The Tulane Club of Atlanta also participates in TeamIvy, a multi-school social and networking club with several events every month. For more information on this group of alumni from prestigious universities, please check out www.TeamIvy.com.
Activities of the club are planned and organized by local volunteer alumni with the assistance of the Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. Therefore, your ideas and your help are always welcome. Please contact the club's leaders on the "Club Leadership" page if you would like to get involved.
This page is an online bulletin board for local alumni to share information and ideas with each other. For example, if you are looking for a roommate, a new job, or new employee, or if you want to announce that a New Orleans band is coming to town, here's where to make your announcement.

Just a reminder to the entire Atlanta Tulane alumni community that the four local Copeland's restaurant franchises in Buckhead, Galleria, Alpharetta and Kennesaw are owned by three Atlanta Tulane alumni.

The Albert H. "Sonny" Small, Jr. (A&S'79) Regional Challenge Grant for Tulane Alumni Residing in the DC, Virginia, Maryland Area
Tulane alumnus Albert H. "Sonny" Small, Jr. has announced a unique opportunity for alumni in the D.C., Virginia and Maryland area making a gift to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund. Mr. Small will match all donations, dollar for dollar*, made to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund from alumni donors in D.C., Virginia and Maryland and those who have not yet made a gift to the Tulane Rebuilding Fund - up to $500,000 total.
This Challenge allows these alumni to give to Tulane University knowing that the amount they give will be doubled, making the impact of their individual gifts even greater. The collective impact of new gifts from alumni and matching funds from this challenge grant will provide essential support for Tulane during its rebuilding process.
Donors from these areas need only make their gift to the Rebuilding Fund. Qualifying gifts will automatically be applied to the Albert H. "Sonny" Small, Jr. Challenge Grant.
*up to $10,000 per household
This unique award was established six years ago by Timothy Sykes (Tulane College '03) to recognize and nurture talented individuals whose abilities and accomplishments may not be in traditional areas of endeavor. There are many ways to be "successful" in today's society and this award acknowledges young people with unique interests and passions. This does not preclude from consideration those with significant demonstrated success in the classroom or on the playing field - it simply seeks to broaden the definition of accomplishment in a university environment.
A candidate may self-nominate or be nominated by another member of the Tulane community by means of a statement (minimum 2 pages) that describes the individual's talent/potential and supports that description with a listing of his/her related accomplishments or an example of the applicant's work. Nominations are open to any member of the Tulane community – student, faculty, staff or young alumni. Applications for the award will be reviewed by a committee appointed by President Cowen.
Completed nominations are due by April 17, 2009 and may be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mailing them to Tulane University Office of Development, 6823 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118. Please call 504.314.7633 with any questions.

iPad 4 screen warmer than iPad 3
I just got the iPad 4 with LTE, and right out of the box, side by side with my existing iPad 3 I'm noticing a difference in "warmth" of the 4's screen. It definitely looks a little more yellow to me than the iPad 3. Its only been a few hours, and I did not notice it until I put them right next together. I was doing some side by side speed tests...the iPad 4 is faster, not a lot on web surfing, but yes its faster, but when I put them side by side, the screen color difference was noticeable.
So I would be interested if anyone else with an iPad 3 has noticed the difference, or do I now start to worry that maybe I got one with a warmer screen. I had thought that there was not supposed to be any difference in the screens, although now I'm remembering that there were different suppliers and maybe what I'm seeing is two different screens from different suppliers. Does anyone know how I can check on this.... thanks,

Ipad 3=Samsung. New ipad = LG. I have no issue with a warm temp screen on my ipad. It's much easier on the eyes when surfing the net at nite.

Warm screen is much better for eyes and the mind.

Nov 16, 2012, 12:44 AM | #4 |
agreed, its softer on the eyes and easier at night, I was just surprised to see the difference. I'm not complaining,
Also, Thanks I couldn't remember who was responsible for the production, but I do remember and you confirmed that LG was responsible for the new iPad screens so hence the difference. Thanks!

Opposite for me. My 3 was more yellow while my 4 was a cooler blue. I hope my replacement will be blueish as I strongly prefer the cooler screen.

Same for me. My iPad 3 has the most neutral white I've ever seen. The iPad 4 is so ever slightly bluer by comparison.

Well I'm not a photographer, but I read at night a lot. Can anybody with both say if the 4 is easier on the eyes than the bluer 3? Is the 4 less bright than the 3? How about using it during the day under sunlight or a brightly lit room?

Because the screens differ between two different devices of the same generation, it is impossible to say. For reading at night, the lower the backlight will go, the more control you have over finding the most comfortable reading experience for you. If both devices went down to the exact same level of backlight though, typically the warmer screen would be a little easier on the eyes as you wouldn't have quite the same harshness of contrast for your eyes to deal with.

I wouldn't look too much into this. My first 3 was warm, my second replacement was nice and white, only to notice it was actually pretty damn blue after comparing to a third and fourth ipad 3.
So color temp on these things is as inconsistent as Apple's CS reps.
Always two there are. No more, no less. |

The yellow is nice. Blue light causes oxidative damage to your retina, since it's closer to the wavelength of UV light. So it's not just in your head that you find the yellow tint easier on your eyes.

I don't know if this is scientifically true or not but I've noticed that my ipad 4 has become less yellow than when I first got it.
I don't think it's simply me 'getting used to it' as I'm grounded by my iPhone 4s' screen. now I simply don't notice a yellowness when moving from iphone to the ipad

Warmer is typically easier on the eyes. Hence sepia as a choice for color digital readers and books printing off white. Again. Typically. Not much is universal!

Takin' A Leak
Once again we see the unfair double standards of society! When I pull my pants down. take out my wenis and piss in a Walmart I get called a weirdo and a creep as I'm being arrested, but apparently when tiny Thor here takes out his hammer everything is whatevs. It's all malarkey and I'm not gonna stand for it anymore!
Takin' A Leak, -
Why is this child not wearing shoes (the behavior is no less than what I would expect from some)???? We have all seen the filth that goes through the stores, so why?? How about letting your kid walk across a field of broken beer bottles while you're at it (which for all I know could happen by just crossing your front yard)! On a side note . . . Dude, your wenis is actually the skin on your elbow. Just saying.
Thank you Carol!
I am shocked at how many people posting comments on this site do not know the difference between "isle" and "aisle".However, they probably also don't know the difference between "brake" and "break", or between "site" and "sight", or between "bear" and "bare".
Homonyms seem to be the bugaboo of those who are…English-language deficient.

An estimated 9 out of 1,000 women will get pregnant during the first year of typical use of Ortho Evra.
Ortho Evra doesn't offer protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Side effects of Ortho Evra may include:
Recent studies have shown that Ortho Evra causes a higher level of estrogen to circulate in the body than do combination birth control pills. As a result, you may have a slightly higher risk of estrogen-related adverse events, such as blood clots, while taking Ortho Evra than if you took combination birth control pills.

Mimicking growth control in regenerative organisms to permit mammalian regeneration
Funding Type:

Public Abstract:
Humans and other mammals are unable to regenerate significant portions of muscles of the body or heart lost to trauma or ischemic injury, for example from motor vehicle accidents, surgery or heart attacks. Despite the fact that we know there are stem cells in our muscles, these do not suffice to replace the large amounts of tissue that can be lost in many types of injuries. Even more dramatically, in the heart, there is no significant ability to regenerate damaged tissue. Whereas humans may be said to have poor regenerative capacity, some animals have an extraordinary ability to replace damaged or lost body parts such as a limb, a jaw or a large part of the heart. Such regenerative vertebrates include urodele amphibians (salamanders and newts) or fish such as zebrafish. These animals excel at regeneration by utilizing mechanism that is distinct from classical stem cell based regeneration as we currently understand it in mammals. Regeneration in newts and zebrafish is based at least in part on dedifferentiation and proliferation of lineage-committed cells to regenerate skeletal muscle and the heart. Dedifferentiation is thought to provide large numbers of progenitor cells that proliferate at the site of an injury or an amputation and contribute to the regenerating structure. By contrast, resident stem cells that exist in humans and other mammals represent a small proportion of the total cells in a given tissue and it is easy to imagine how much proliferation would be required for these scarce cells to rebuild a complete organ such as the heart or a structure such as a limb. But what if we could recruit all of the cells at the site of an injury as our regenerative counterparts do? The overall goal of this proposal is to mimic the "regeneration by dedifferentiation" paradigm in human muscle cells and to enhance regeneration in vivo. While the basal growth control mechanisms in mammals such as ourselves are similar to those in regenerative organisms, we have added levels of complexity that, it is our hypothesis, contribute to suppressing regeneration. The goal of this proposal is to transiently target growth regulators that are present in mammals but conspicuously absent in regenerative organisms to induce differentiated cells such as cardiomyocytes to become progenitors that can expand at the site of an injury and then replace damaged tissue. This approach, if successful has the distinct advantage of mimicking a process that already exists in nature and as such may be readily transitioned to medical approaches in humans.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Humans are unable to regenerate significant portions of muscles of the body or heart lost to trauma or ischemic injury, for example from motor vehicle accidents and surgery or from heart attacks. Despite the fact that we know there are stem cells in our muscles, these do not suffice to replace the large amounts of tissue that can be lost from in many types of injuries. Even more dramatically, in the heart, there is no significant ability to regenerate damaged tissue. In California, as elsewhere, debilitating injuries and heart disease take a staggering toll on patients, their families and on health care spending. The research described in this proposal has significant potential to benefit Californians. First, and foremost, the experiments are aimed at improving our ability to regenerate skeletal muscle and heart. If this research is successful, Californians will directly benefit from the translation to therapy. The people of California will be the first benefactors of new solutions generated by this CIRM funded research.
Review Summary:
The goal of this proposal is to investigate methods for inducing de-differentiation of mature skeletal and cardiac muscle cells that then could contribute to repair of damaged muscle. Based on evolutionary considerations, comparing mammals to vertebrates that readily regenerate several organs, the applicant hypothesizes that inhibiting two tumor suppressor genes will promote muscle de-differentiation. In Specific Aim 1, the applicant proposes to test this hypothesis using RNA interference in primary human skeletal muscle cells, in murine cardiomyocytes, and possibly in cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) or human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). In Aim 2, the applicant will test the hypothesis in mice by local viral delivery of shRNA constructs and in a genetic model. Finally, in Aim 3, the applicant proposes to test additional inhibitors and vary the timing of gene suppression in order to optimize de-differentiation in human muscle cells.
Reviewers agreed that the development of strategies to induce regeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue is an important goal in stem cell biology and for regenerative medicine. However, they raised questions about the scientific rationale for several key aspects of the proposal. One major concern was that the genes being targeted are tumor suppressors that regulate pathways implicated in muscle tumors. It is possible that inhibiting these genes may lead to a dramatic increase in tumorigenesis. In addition, reviewers questioned the applicant's decision to study both skeletal and cardiac muscle. They noted that there are significant differences in the differentiation of these two tissues that may not allow results from one system to easily translate to the other. In addition, skeletal muscle exhibits a significantly greater capacity for regeneration in response to injury and harbors a well-characterized resident stem cell population. Reviewers found the proposal to be innovative but highly speculative. They did not find the "evolutionary rationale" described by the applicant to be well supported by data. They also expressed some doubts that suppression of a single molecular pathway could promote sufficient de-differentiation to enable significant tissue repair. Considering these limitations, reviewers found the proposal to be very high-risk.
Reviewers described several weaknesses in the research plan. In general, they found it to be overambitious and lacking sufficient detail. Reviewers noted that Aim 1 describes a very complex and time consuming set of experiments involving many muscle cell lines and many treatment and analysis parameters. Taken together with the need for optimization, this is an enormous amount of work. Given the ambitious nature of this Aim, reviewers expressed concern that no preliminary data on cultured human cells or on cardiac cells were included, and that some of the needed shRNA and reporter constructs are not yet in hand. Furthermore, they were surprised by the applicant's hesitation regarding the availability of hESC- or hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, as such cells should be obtainable. Reviewers were concerned that Aim 2 might also be overambitious. It is unclear whether the applicant has generated the mouse model to be used in this Aim. If not, a significant amount of time will be required to characterize this genetically complex model. Reviewers also worried about the efficiency of the proposed viral shRNA delivery method and the timing of shRNA expression. Finally, reviewers found Aim 3 to be severely underdeveloped relative to the other Aims. They would have appreciated greater experimental detail for this Aim, including clarification if, and if so, how human cardiac cell samples would be obtained.
The reviewers described the applicant as a junior investigator with a modest publication record. They were concerned that the research team does not have sufficient expertise to carry out the proposed studies. They noted that several senior researchers are named as collaborators in the application but letters of support are not provided.
Overall, while reviewers appreciated that this proposal addresses important goals in regenerative medicine, they raised a number of concerns about the scientific rationale and research plan that caused them to doubt its feasibility.

Where do skin tags occur?
Comment on this
Read 32 Comments
Skin tags can occur almost anywhere on the body covered by skin. However, the two most common areas for skin tags are the neck and armpits. Other common areas for the development of skin tags include the eyelids, upper chest (particularly under the female breasts), buttock folds, and groin folds. Tags are typically thought to occur in characteristic friction locations where skin rubs against skin or clothing. Babies who are plump may also develop skin tags in areas where skin rubs against skin, like the sides of the neck. Younger children may develop tags at the upper eyelid areas, often in areas where they may rub their eyes. Older children and preteens may develop tags in the underarm area from friction and repetitive irritation from sports. Who tends to get skin tags?More than half if not all of the general population has been reported to have skin tags at some time in their lives. Although tags are generally acquired (not present at birth) and may occur in anyone, more often they arise in adulthood. They are much more common in middle age, and they tend to increase in prevalence up to age 60. Children and toddlers may also develop skin tags, particularly in the underarm and neck areas. Skin tags are more common in overweight people. Hormone elevations, such as those seen during pregnancy, may cause an increase in the formation of skin tags, as skin tags are more frequent in pregnant women. Tags are essentially harmless and do not have to be treated unless they are bothersome. Skin tags that are bothersome may be easily removed during or after pregnancy, typically by a dermatologist. Although skin tags are generally not associated with any other diseases there seems to be a group of obese individuals who, along with many skin tags, develop a condition called acanthosis nigricans on the skin of their neck and armpits and are predisposed to have high blood fats and sugar.

Woman Sues Little League Player for $500,000
June 26, 2012
© Veer
Thirteen-year-old Matthew Migliaccio's family describes him as a "baseball junkie," but he's now being sued for $500,000 for an overthrown pitch in a Little League game two years ago.
Elizabeth Lloyd of New Jersey was hit in the face by a baseball thrown by Migliaccio while he was warming up the pitcher in the bullpen. Lloyd's charges claim that the boy's throw was intentional and reckless, causing her multiple injuries and enduring headaches that she still gets. Her second charge claims Migliaccio was negligent through "engaging in inappropriate physical and/or sporting activity."
Plus: Six-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Plays Tee Ball With One Arm
The boy's father, Bob Migliaccio, is angry and fed up with the suit. He told Fox TV that "it's absurd to expect every 11-year-old to throw the ball on target. Everyone knows you've got to watch out. You assume some risk when you go out to a field. That's just part of being at a game."
Plus: Parents Sue School Over Team's Haircut Policy
On top of Lloyd's charges come one more from her husband for services, society and consortium. In layman's terms? He's suing because his wife in unable to take care of household duties and/or provide companionship, comfort and sex.
Do you think Lloyd's charges are justifiable? What would you do if your kid were in a similar situation?

By Nickname (Akron, Ohio) on Jul 23, 2009
Comments: I purchased this model at the sale price which I noticed they seem to have often. So far I am very pleased with this machine but it does have a few faults. The Dual-Grip EKG Heart Rate Monitor is about useless as it doesn t seem accurate enough to rely on. The Coolaire Workout fan is okay for taller people but for someone at 5 3 like me the air only hits my face at the upper stride. And this is with the fan aimed downwards. The adjustable stride was a little more difficult to adjust than anticipated but it works. Though compact this unit still requires a bit of room and clearance for when it is in use (the strides extend beyond the unit itself so keep that in mind when figuring your space requirements). The Silent Magnetic Resistance does work precisely as advertised. The speakers quality are not impressive but adequate enough for my MP3 player. Please note the volume is controlled through your CD or MP3 player not on the elliptical itself. Assembly was pretty easy. It took my husband and I approx 1 hour. When I first got on the elliptical I noticed there was a clunking sound coming with each stride. However I found we had neglected to fully tighten a loose bolt. Once the bolt was tightened the machine was perfectly quiet,extremely smooth, and easy to use. One workout and I was sold. Bottom line is all the added bonus features (heart monitor, fan, speakers, etc.) you may find lacking. But for what really matters this is a great machine with the similar and sturdy feel as those elliptical used in fitness gyms.

Holdout Sports:
Lionel Messi
A fan invaded the pitch near the end of Wednesday's friendly between Sweden and Argentina to hug Lionel Messi and kiss him on the forehead.
The fan, who was wearing Messi's Barcelona jersey, ruffled Messi's hair a bit before surrendering to security and allowed himself to be taken away. Messi was left to wipe himself down with his shirt before finishing out the match, which Argentina won 3-2.
Messi has shown to be friendly to pitch invaders wishing to meet him up close. However, this may not be the best approach for Messi to use going forward, as it may encourage more people to do this, and you never know what stunt a fan might pull the next time. Of course, it wouldn't hurt for these stadiums to increase security when Messi comes to town.
DISCLAIMER: Holdout Sports does not condone this type of behavior.

Christie unveils $32.9B budget, announces Medicaid expansion
Rewatch Christie's budget address
Related: Full text of Governor Christie's budget address
Medicaid coverage will be expanded for thousands of New Jersey residents, business taxes will be cut and public schools will get more aid, but Governor Christie's election-year budget delays property tax relief and features no promised income tax cut this year.
Christie's $32.9 billion budget – his largest so far – puts nearly $1.7 billion into the state's underfunded public employee pension system. There's more college aid – for students and schools – and more funds for health insurance for needy families.
And the budget puts $40 million into a contingency fund that would fill any gaps left to victims of superstorm Sandy after the $60 billion federal aid package. That state fund could also fill another contingency if the aid is slashed as part of mandated federal budget cuts.
Photos: Governor Chris Christie delivers the budget address
All of it is designed to make sure the state is "putting people first," Christie said Tuesday, telling the Democratically controlled Legislature that he's ended their prior fiscal abuses and together they instilled "fiscal discipline" as the state rebuilds from superstorm Sandy.
"In the face of this unprecedented emergency, we have stood together — recovering, rebuilding, restoring," Christie said during a 43-minute State House address in Trenton.
Christie's budget, his fourth since taking office amid recession in 2010, affects nearly every corner of the state, with aid to towns, schools, hospitals and universities. There's money to build roads, pay down debt and operate everything from state prisons to motor vehicle offices.
Now Christie must get this budget through a Legislature that last year rebuffed his call to start cutting income taxes by 10 percent and challenged his lofty estimates of economic growth in the $31.7 billion spending plan he signed in June. It's an effort that comes as the governor and all 120 lawmakers are up for reelection.
While Christie highlighted his three years of fiscal management, many things went unsaid Tuesday, including talk about the possible impact of climate change on the state and future damage from storms like Sandy. Christie said nothing about new funding for land preservation, including the buying out of flood-prone properties now that a program to do that has run out of money.
Christie praised the state's 2 percent cap on property tax levy increases. But he did not talk about his new plan to delay property tax relief credits, needed to address a revenue shortfall in his current budget because he overestimated economic growth.
The delay allows Christie to avoid any high-profile cuts in an election year, but also means recipients will have to wait until August to get a benefit that they originally expected to receive in February.
On the state's economy, Christie stressed private-sector job growth and promoted an expansion of business tax cuts to $540 million. But with New Jersey's unemployment rate well above the national average, there was no new jobs initiative.
And although he's now forecasting more economic growth as billions of dollars in federal Sandy relief spending will flow into New Jersey, the new budget doesn't include any funds for an income tax cut, which was the signature policy of last year's budget speech. Christie also did not mention the earned income tax credit, a benefit for the working poor he reduced in 2010, but proposed restoring in last year's budget address.

What resort are you staying at, because the drink options aren't always the same a each resort...close but not the same.
I know Pop Century has slushies...or they used to...but the other values don't.
Howdy howdy howdy (i'm sheriff woody!) so I have a question for you guys.
I know for sure I'll be ordering some groceries and having the delivered while I'm at the world. What I'm trying to figure out is if I should order a case of pop, or just buy a refillable mug. The way I see it, if I order pop with the groceries it'll be cheaper, but I'll also be stuck with one flavor (I wouldn't go through enough to buy 2 flavors). With the mug, I can get different stuff but I'd also have to walk to the food court whenever I wanted a drink. Also with the mug, I'm not limited to just pop so there's a perk.
So what do you guys think? I'll be there 10 days if that helps. Also can anyone tell me exactly what drinks you can use the mugs for? I know pop, coffee, tea and hot chocolate but is there juice or anything?
What resort are you staying at, because the drink options aren't always the same a each resort...close but not the same.
I know Pop Century has slushies...or they used to...but the other values don't.
I guess that depends how far your room is from the food court, or how late your staying at the parks? I personally don't like walking a long distance to get a drink turn around to come back to the room only to find that I'm thirsty again. Also usually the food court closes at midnight or sooner depending on the season, so if you get back from the park late you might not be able to get a drink at the food court. I like to keep a bottle of soda/pop in the small fridge that usually comes with resort room to avoid these problems. have a great trip.
Don't forget that you will also have the mugs as a souvenir. DH uses his for taking coffee to work! Handy for in the garden too.
i'll be at the pop century

If you happened to be in Arizona in late 2002, you might have heard the snipping of shears in the desert air as multiple ribbon-cutting ceremonies marked the debut of several new resorts, including the state's largest, the $315 million JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. And while most of the new construction is found in the resort mecca of Phoenix/Scottsdale, ground has also been broken, 100 miles to the south, on Tucson's first new resort in 15 years.
In a state renowned for the quality of its health and wellness facilities, new and established properties continue to invest heavily in the construction of elaborate resort spas, which are designed to entice guests seeking the latest in exotic treatments and relaxation. Hot stone massage, the use of indigenous plants, and the adaptation of American Indian healing rituals are among the newest trends.
As competition for meetings heats up among Arizona's resorts, creativity is sizzling — if you find yourself thinking that casinos, canal boats, and wildlife are attractions found only in a glitzy city on the other side of the Grand Canyon, then it's time to reacquaint yourself with the nation's 48th state.
VENUE MENU Phoenix and Scottsdale
The world's largest collection of desert plants and flowers is displayed on five thematic trails with 60 interactive outdoor exhibits at the Desert Botanical Garden. An open-air, covered pavilion accommodates up to 125 guests; several other venues in the garden are available for groups of 30 to 300. (480) 941-1225; www.dbg.org
Ten exhibit galleries at the acclaimed Heard Museum showcase American Indian crafts and paintings. Private dinners for groups can be arranged. (602) 252-8840; www.heard.org
The Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum is a combination wildlife zoo, natural history museum, and botanical garden. Galleries, terraces, cafés, and gardens can host groups of up to 200 for a meeting or 140 for a banquet featuring foods native to the region. (520) 883-2702; www.desertmuseum.org
For a company that requested a special evening to reflect its meeting's theme of unity, Joyce Hergert, of Plaza Planners in Scottsdale, wove a multitude of cultural elements into Cowboys and Indians, a uniquely Arizona experience. The 300 guests headed out in Jeeps across the Sonoran Desert to the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation northeast of Phoenix where they were greeted by costumed saloon girls carrying drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
After a traditional welcome prayer led by an American Indian, the group was entertained by a hoop dancer before joining in the Unity Dance, an interactive friendship dance. Guests enjoyed a Southwestern theme buffet followed by cowboy games and the opportunity to watch local artisans at work. Other guests climbed onto the mechanical bull or learned how to rope a calf.
If your travel plans include renting a car upon arrival at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, be aware that a variety of taxes can dramatically inflate the basic rental charge. If you're not comfortable paying more for a rental car than for some airfares to the city, consider using your hotel's van service, a taxi, or renting a car only for the days you will truly need one.
Slathering on sunscreen and drinking plenty of water are a way of life in arid Arizona, but certain prescription medications can create additional sensitivity to the sun's rays. Know before you go if your Rx has the potential to boost your chances of leaving with a souvenir sunburn.
Arizona has abundant wildlife, which turns up everywhere. If you encounter a coyote, rattlesnake, or bobcat on the golf course, step back in a nonthreatening manner and let the animal continue on its way before resuming your game.
One of Scottsdale's most picturesque landmarks, Pinnacle Peak, is now more than a scenic vista. New hiking trails offer the opportunity to experience the desert firsthand while enjoying spectacular views. The trails are suitable for all skill levels, but wear hiking boots, not tennis shoes, for safe traction.
A $600 million expansion of the PHOENIX Civic Plaza will begin next June. The new building, with underground exhibition space, above-ground meeting rooms, and a high-tech conference center, is expected to be completed in December 2005. The civic plaza now offers more than 300,000 square feet space.
TUCSON Convention Center has 205,000 square feet of meeting space, including a ballroom, arena, and exhibition hall. A music hall and the Leo Rich Theater have teleconferencing and broadcast capability and a courtyard provides a venue for outdoor events.

What can the chancellor do to address the high costs of childcare?
Date: 28. February 2012
Vidhya Alakeson
This piece first appeared on the Guardian's Comment is Free site.
Laura works 25 hours a week as an accounts administrator. After paying for childcare, she takes home only half of what she earns. This is an all too familiar picture for working families in Britain and, according to Monday's report by the Daycare Trust, things are getting worse. The average part-time nursery place for a child under two now costs more than £5,000 a year, and more like £6,500 in London. Lower income families feel particularly hard hit this year because of last year's cut to support for childcare costs, and will find themselves even worse off after this April's change to tax credits. Eligibility for working tax credits will be tied to working longer hours and that will mean paying for more childcare.

Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with
