The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is looking into a method of birth control for rats as it tries to get the rat population under control.
The agency is testing a bait that makes rodents permanently infertile.
The company behind the bait said it's safe for other animals and humans, and has worked well in rural areas.
But urban rats have a more discriminating palate, meaning the bait has to taste better than things like pizza or Chinese food to draw them in.
Later this month, baits with different scents and flavors will be placed at various subway trash rooms to find out what works best.
The MTA said the public will not be exposed to the bait.

Apr 1, 2014 - Nov 15, 2014The City of Roseau operates three stabilization ponds as part of its sanitary sewer system. These ponds attract a wide variety of birds, particularly waterfowl and shorebirds. Viewing birds from the road is always available. On Tuesdays, and as weather and conditions permit, the city opens the gates to the ponds to allow access to the City's compost site. Various types of waterfowl, shorebirds and gulls can be seen at the ponds. Spring (Late April to early June) and fall (September and October)migration are the best times to see extensive numbers of birds. New in 2011 the City has completed a trailhead parking/picnic area 1/8 mile north and 1/8 mile west of the lagoons on 330th Street with access to a 1 mile paved walking trail north of the lagoons and along the Roseau River. A bird watching station is located along the multipurpose trail.
Other Date Information
- Additional Date Information: Bird watching when ponds are not frozen. You can view anytime, but access inside gates is limited to TU 6am-10pm.

The master coach has never denied how difficult it is too win during the increasingly competitive Sevens landscape, with Olympic inclusion ensuring that all nations are showing more strength.
This was a statement encapsulated with the All Blacks Sevens loss to Kenya.
The growing African nation, who have defeated New Zealand before, showed a clinical passing game that caught many nations, including Tietjen's troops, off guard.
Normally the All Blacks Sevens were that sort of team, with a 19 point win over an impressive Australia showing how good the home team could be.
Tietjens said to tvnz.co.nz and ONE Sport that accuracy was paramount.
"In sevens rugby, 50/50 passes are just not on at crucial times," Tietjens said.
"We had that game in the hand against Kenya and a couple of loose passes that went astray and a couple of missed tackles really cost us. That's probably the second or third time they've beaten us. They're an athletic side, they know the game and have a passion for the game and they're always very, very difficult.
"At times we've played very very well against them and yesterday should have been one of those times, but it wasn't. You have to applaud Kenya for that."
The multiple World Seven's Series winner and Commonwealth Games Gold Medal winning coach said that the unfolding theatre showed how close the competition is, and that it was important to essentially be there or there abouts.
"Obviously disappointing to lose," Tietjens said.
"We would love to have won our own tournament. It's a big tournament for us. But we increased our lead in the world series, so it wasn't all bad."
"It is about consistency, it's not about winning one tournament. You can win a world series and not win a tournament if you're there or thereabouts all the time. We've won one, we've had four tournaments and four different winners."
While the All Blacks Sevens defeated Australia, Tietjens said they were taking losses due to a view to the long term picture of building depth.
"Look at Australia now," Tietjens said.
"They're 19-years-old, 20-years-old and are looking at the bigger picture. They're not doing too well at the moment in the world series (but) you've got to keep building the numbers and bringing in younger players."
"We're moving through to 2016. It's building depth and having a lot of players that are available.

[JURIST] Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley [official profile] filed suit [complaint, PDF] Wednesday against the US government, challenging a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text] that allegedly interferes with the state's same-sex marriage law [JURIST report]. Coakley argues that the federal law, which denies federal recognition for same-sex marriages, interferes with the state's right to define and regulate marriage. The complaint, filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts [official website], alleges that the DOMA excludes more than 16,000 married same-sex couples and their families in Massachusetts from rights and protections afforded to other married couples. The suit claims that the federal law violates the US Constitution [materials] by interfering with the state's sovereign authority to define and regulate marriage for its residents, exceeding Congress's legislative authority under the Spending Clause of Article I. The state alleges that § 3 of the federal law creates separate and unequal categories of married individuals, prohibiting same-sex spouses from filing joint federal tax returns, receiving Social Security survivor benefits, guaranteed leave from work for spousal illness and other rights given to married couples of the opposite sex. Coakley addressed the problems [press release] with the federal law:
It is unconstitutional for the federal government to discriminate, as it does because of DOMA's restrictive definition of marriage. It is also unconstitutional for the federal government to decide who is married and to create a system of first- and second-class marriages. The federal government cannot require states, such as Massachusetts, to further the discrimination through federal programs, either. The time has come for this injustice to end.
[JURIST] A court in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday convicted 330 people on terrorism-related charges, according to a report by the state-run Saudi Press Agency [official website]. The Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution brought charges including belonging to a terrorist group, conspiracy to cause mayhem and insecurity, financing terrorism, and treason against people accused of conducting, financing and assisting a series of al Qaeda-linked attacks in 2003. The Special Penal Court sentenced one defendant to death [Al Jazeera report], although the name of the prisoner and the charges against him were not made public. A bureau spokesman said that the defendants could appeal their verdicts. In October, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz [official website] announced that the kingdom had indicted 991 [Reuters report] suspected al Qaeda members in connection with a series of domestic attacks that killed 164. Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] has been cricital [HRW report] of the Saudi justice system generally, and sought access [HRW request] to the trials to ensure that they complied with international standards.
[JURIST] The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] on Wednesday rejected [decision, PDF] an immunity claim [motion, PDF] brought by war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic [ICTY materials; JURIST news archive], citing irrelevance between a possible immunity deal and his trial. The decision to reject the claims follows Karadzic's recent renewal [JURIST report] of his immunity defense in which he claims that war crimes charges against him should be dropped because of an apparent deal he made with former US ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke. Karadzic requested an evidentiary hearing on the claims, maintaining that Holbrooke offered him immunity from prosecution if he voluntary left power in 1996 and that there were two witnesses to the agreement. The court ruled that Karadzic had failed to show that Holbrooke had acted with the authority of the UN Security Council and that there was an abuse of process in the proceedings. Holbrooke has denied the allegations of an immunity deal and prosecutors have found no documents to verify the existence of any such deal. Earlier this year, the appellate chamber of the ICTY upheld a December 2008 ruling [JURIST report], which declared that no immunity deal existed and that even if there was such an agreement, it would not be valid under international law.In June, the ICTY said that Karadzic's trial would start in late August [JURIST report], estimating that it will conclude in early 2012. His trial is planned to be the tribunal's last. Karadzic has twice refused to enter pleas [JURIST report] to 11 charges against him including genocide, murder, persecution, deportation, and "other inhumane acts," for war crimes allegedly committed during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, including the 1995 Srebrenica massacre [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. Karadzic was originally indicted [indictment text] by the ICTY in 1995 but had been in hiding under an assumed identity until his arrest last year [JURIST report].
[JURIST] A former prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] told the House Judiciary Committee [official website] Wednesday that the military commission [JURIST news archive] system used to try detained enemy combatants is "broken beyond repair." In testimony [prepared remarks, PDF] at a hearing [materials] before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld, US Army Reserve Judge Advocate General Corps [official website], said that although he was a "true believer" when he was detailed to the detention facility, he had come to believe that the commissions undermined "the fundamental values ... upon which this great country was founded." Asked by the subcommittee to address the legal issues surrounding the continuance of the military commission system, Vandeveld said:
We do not need military commissions. They are broken and beyond repair. We do not need indefinite detention, and we do not need a new system of "national security courts." Instead, we should try those whose guilt we can prove while observing "the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples" in other words, using those long-standing rules of due process required by Article III courts and military courts-martial and resettle or repatriate those whom we cannot. That is the only solution that is consistent with American values and American law.
[JURIST] The UK House of Lords [official website] on Tuesday rejected a proposed amendment [press release] that would have barred the prosecution of those who go abroad to help others commit assisted suicide. The proposed provision of the Coroners and Justice Bill [materials], which covered "acts not capable of encouraging or assisting suicide," was rejected by a 141-194 vote [vote text] during a line-by-line examination of the bill. Lord Falconer introduced the measure, which called for a waiver of the Suicide Act 1961 [text] if two doctors confirm that the person seeking suicide is terminally ill and competent enough to make a decision and if the person to makes a declaration of intent to seek an assisted suicide abroad. The provision would have amended the Suicide Act to account for such exceptions to the possible 14-year prison sentence imposed by the law for assisting, aiding, abetting, counseling, or procuring an assisted suicide. Dignity in Dying [advocacy website] CEO Sarah Wootton said [press release] that the group would "continue to fight for something that so many others feel very passionately about," calling for allowances "to allow mentally competent, terminally ill adults to make important life decisions for themselves." The House of Lords will continue examining the Coroners and Justice Bill, which was already passed by the House of Commons and contains provisions relating to coroners, criminal law, infanticide, suicide, child pornography, sentencing, legal aid, and other issues.Physician assisted suicide is a highly contested issue in Europe and other parts of the world. Many Britons have reportedly gone to the Dignitas clinic [website, in German] in Switzerland to obtain assisted suicides. In February, the England and Wales Court of Appeals [official website] refused to clarify the ban on assisted suicide at the request of a British woman [JURIST report] who feared legal repercussions for her husband if he accompanied her to a different country to obtain an assisted suicide. Last year, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown [official website] spoke out against laws allowing assisted suicide [BBC report], saying that he would not create laws that "put pressure on people to end their lives." Also last year, Luxembourg came close to passing a bill [JURIST report] to legalize assisted suicide but the measure was not approved by monarch Grand Duke Henri. Henri's veto prompted the Luxembourg Chamber of Deputies to amend the constitution [JURIST report] to eliminate the requirement that the Grand Duke approve of all legislation. In 2006, the House of Lords set aside a bill to legalize assisted suicide following opposition by physician groups [JURIST reports]. Euthanasia was legalized in the Netherlands [BBC report] in 2001, and Belgium followed suit [JURIST report] in 2002.
[JURIST] The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) [official website] on Tuesday announced [press release, PDF] plans to hold a public hearing on a series of regulatory reforms aimed at curbing excessive speculation in energy commodity markets. CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler [official profile] said that the different regulatory treatment given to agriculture commodities, for which the CFTC sets position limits, and energy commodities, for which position limits are set by the exchanges, "deserves thoughtful review." The Commission is considering extending CFTC trade volume limits to energy markets, in an effort to "ensure a fair and transparent price discovery process for all commodities." The commission is also examining whether the bona fide hedging transaction exemption in the Commidity Exchange Act [7 USC § 1 text], should continue to apply to transactions used to hedge purely financial risk, rather than risk "arising from the actual use of the commodity." Gensler said that the proposed reforms were a part of the Commission's "existing authorities to ensure market integrity."Gensler was confirmed [remarks, PDF] as CFTC Chairman in May, at a time when the administration of US President Barack Obama [official website] is departing [CQ report] from the deregulatory attitude of the George W. Bush [official profile] administration. Last year, the US Senate [official website] rejected a bill [S 3268 text, PDF; materials] designed to amend the Commodity Exchange Act to prevent unchecked energy speculation. The House of Representatives [official website] passed [roll call] its own commodities reform [text, PDF] in September.
[JURIST] Investigators from the UN Human Rights Council [official website] on Tuesday concluded public hearings [press release] into alleged violations of international human rights law during December and January's fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza strip. The head of the four person UN Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict [official website], former South African Constitutional Court [official profile] judge Richard Goldstone, said that the goal of the hearings "was to show the human side of the suffering; to give a voice to the victims so that they are not lost among statistics." The mission heard from Israeli and Palestinian victims, military experts, and lawyers over four days of hearings in Gaza and Geneva. The mission plans to seek further information from the Israeli government, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas prior to reporting their findings to the Human Rights Council in September.The mission began [JURIST report] its field operations in Gaza in June, entering Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing after Israel announced that it would not cooperate [JURIST report] with the investigation because it doubted the mission's objectivity. Goldstone was appointed to head the investigation [JURIST report] in April, amongst strong criticism [JURIST report] from Israel. The probe follows a previous report [text, PDF; JURIST report], authored by UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk [appointment release], which criticized Israel for failing to take adequate precautions to distinguish between civilians and combatants in their offensives in the region. Both Israel and the US criticized [DOS briefing] the report, calling the rapporteur's views "anything but fair." In April, an internal Israeli military investigation found that war crimes had not been committed [JURIST report] in the offensive despite individual reports by Israeli soldiers [Haaretz report]. Israel has already disputed [JURIST report] a previous report to the UNHRC that accused it of human rights violations.
[JURIST] The UN Security Council [official website] on Tuesday extended the terms for judges from the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR) [official websites] until December 31, 2010, or until they complete their cases. In unanimously adopting resolutions 1877 and 1878 [press releases], the Security Council extended the terms for 30 permanent and ad litem ICTY judges and 17 ICTR judges. Additionally, the Council decided that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official website] would be able to appoint additional ad litem judges for existing or new trials. The passage of the resolutions follows briefings last week [press release] by tribunal officials who supported the term extensions. Appellate judges previously had their terms extended to the end of 2010, although the Council decided to review those extensions prior to the end of 2009. The extensions were welcomed by the ICTY [press release].The tribunals, created by the UN in 1993 and 1994, have been planning to close after completing their caseloads. ICTR President Dennis Byron supported the extensions, affirming that the court is trying to conclude the evidence phase of all trials by the end of the year. ICTY President and presiding appellate judge Patrick Robinson [official profile] has stated that most of the work in both the ICTY and ICTR would be completed by the end of 2012 [JURIST report], earlier than the tribunals' previous estimate of 2015. The trial for Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic [ICTY materials; JURIST news archive] is set to be the ICTY's last, starting in late August with an estimated end date of early 2012.
[JURIST] Britain's Justice Secretary Jack Straw [official profile] on Tuesday proposed expanded laws [press release] that would allow British authorities to prosecute non-resident individuals suspected of war crimes. With the proposed changes, individuals who currently live in the UK, but are not residents, may be prosecuted for war crimes or genocide that took place as long ago as 1991. Such an extension would allow individuals suspected of war crimes in Yugoslavia [RAND backgrounder] and Rwanda [BBC backgrounder] to face charges in the UK. Straw said:
Serious crimes of this nature are best dealt with in the country where the crimes took place. That is where the evidence will be most easily accessible, and where witnesses will be easier to contact. It is also the best solution because witnesses and survivors can see justice being done. Failing that, these crimes should be dealt with by international courts or tribunals where they exist. However, there may be circumstances where these options are not available. We have therefore decided that we should strengthen domestic law in this area.

Colorado Springs - Arby's - around 1996 to 1997 a manager was shot in the Arby's parking lot by one of her own employees. Several things happen here, for instance whispering in the lobby, things moving from where you had put them to somewhere else in the store. so far the things have only happened when the person is alone. People have seen a lady walk from the front of the kitchen all the way out the back door. Sometimes when the opener is alone in the morning they may here their name being called by a man. When you close the store and put the chairs up the same 12 chairs every night will be found the next morning or later that night down again when NO ONE was anywhere near them. many other things happen there it is a very scary place.
I don't recall ever hearing about an Arby's manager being shot at that location, but it all made sense once I read the story in the Haunted Places index. I recalled that this particular Arby's was an older one, probably built in the 70's, and rather than having booths or tables, it had about a dozen or so bar stools pushed up against a long counter top in the front of the store. I remembered that the employees would invert the bar stools on the counter at night so the floors could be mopped, and then they'd set them down again in the morning when the day shift came in. It definitely fit the description of the Arby's I knew since the one on Garden of Gods Rd. was more modern and only had booths rather than chairs.
With all this in mind, I had planned on taking some pictures of the place the next time I was in Colorado Springs. Imagine my surpise when I got there on March 3rd, 2006 and saw this instead:
What was once an Arby's and a FotoMat is now the future home of the Bank of Broadmoor. Somehow I feel that whoever or whatever was causing the disturbances at the Arby's is still there, tied to that particular spot of ground. I wonder how long it's going to take before bank tellers start gossiping about things missing or chairs that won't stay put?

Commentarium (32 Comments)
I was walking my dog one time and looked up and saw a nude girl in an apartment window by accident. I went home, listened to The Goldberg Variations, contemplatively sipped on a glass of shiraz, then masturbated.
Hilarious. I always wonder if someone writes one of these for me. I stare at people all the time: on the street, on the subway, in restaurants... But it's not because I wana bam chicka bam bam them; rather, it's because I enjoy making people feel uncomfortable. Or, I just don't know where else to look.
Did #5 remind anyone else of this:
@sf, yes it does. If you look at the date of the story and the date of the ad, they match by days.
I call a hoax on #5, with regard to the 5/28 Nerve piece. Either that, or it's the best advertisement ever for the Whitney exhibit.
wow, folks. #5 is a mock-impersonation of marina abramovic. there is no whitney exhibit.
Has anyone in history ever gotten reconnected through a missed connection ad? Seems very unlikely and the act of writing them seems itself to be cathartic. It would be a great subject for a news story by a website devoted to such things-- hint! hint!
The moma one is a performance artist. And has to be bs because I doubt she would be posting to CL.

I posted this in D&D too, as it gets more traffic.
When we renovated my son's bedroom, we tore down the old plaster walls, and the insulation inside is wood chip, yeh, how's that for a fire risk!
The house is dated 1930-1950's.
So we have tons of it, all in a big heap outside. My question is, is this wood chip ok for the garden? Can I spread it around the beds, mix it in with some compost?
It is heavy, so dumping it will cost a lot.

"If each of us sweeps in front of our own steps, the whole world will be clean." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Holy Longing by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Tell a wise person or else keep silent
for those who do not understand
will mock it right away.
I praise what is truly alive
what longs to be burned to death.In the calm waters of the love nights
where you were begotten, where you have begotten
a strange feeling creeps over you
as you watch the silent candle burning.Now you are no longer caught
in the obsession with darkness
and a desire for higher lovemaking
sweeps you upwards. Translated by Robert Bly and David Whyte
via satyana.org
When barriers arise before you and it seems all is lost, take heart and remember the longing and a divine redemption. Walking through the fire to heal and grow again hurts but, only good can come of it. Those who bear false witness have spoken. They forget there is a higher power… A tree doesn't stop growing because some throw garbage at it. It grows because others send love to it. It grows because it must.

This is the most horrible company I have ever experienced in my life. In june 2003 I purchased a complete bedroom set from Levitz in Hauppauge, NY. In November 2003 the headboard legs broke and I wanted to replace them. I called customer service and I paid $50 for new ones and was told they would deliver in December. They never came in December. They never came in January. Each time I called them, they gave me the run-around saying there was delivery issues with the manufacturer. I filed a complaint with the BBB in the beginning of May 2004 because I was sick of seeing my bed in shambles. Finally 7 months after I intially ordered them they were delivered on May 13, 2004. I ask them when I first ordered over the phone if they could mail me a receipt so that I could be reimbursed by my landlord. They told me a receipt of purchase would come with the package. NO RECEIPT CAME! Just a packing slip showing no amount of payment. I called them back again and requested a receipt, invoice or something showing what I ordered and what I paid. They denied my request saying they dont't have receipts or invoices there. WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THIS? I'm currently trying to find out if there is a law in NY state, that a company must provide a receipt. If you're thinking about buying from them I STRONGLY urge you not to. This company is horrible. Would NEVER recommend them or do business with again.

Sentencing for an Okeana man facing more that 45 years in prison after admitting to possession of child pornography has been rescheduled for November.
Branden Snyder, 21, of 3829 Howards Creek Road, pleaded guilty in July to 10 counts of pandering sexually-oriented matter involving a minor. Five charges are second-degree felonies; the remainder are fourth-degree felonies.
A remaining 10 charges returned in an indictment in March were merged in exchange for the plea. Snyder is scheduled to be sentenced by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Charles Pater on Sept. 17, but was rescheduled for Oct. 2. New defense attorney, Greg Howard, has subpoenaed a psychologist to testify at that sentencing hearing.
Snyder is free on bond.
The investigation began in September with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. A task force investigator working to identify people who possessed and shared pornography using peer-to-peer software identified images alleged to be child pornography downloaded to an IP address assigned to a subscriber at the Howards Creek address, according to court records.
Butler County Sheriff's Deputies were notified and obtained a search warrant to seize the computer. While at the residence on Oct. 22, Snyder confessed to having photographs of minors on his computer, according to investigators.
According to court records, the images included pre-pubescent children in various states of nudity, one as young as 4, engaging in sex acts with an adult.
Assistant Prosecutor Jennifer McElfresh said the images were not of children from the area.

The Bigger Financial Picture – Is it Time to Hire a CFO and Where Should You Look?
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: February 11, 2013, 7:34 am
So, your business is growing. While you may or may not have an accountant on hand, what about your bigger financial picture? Is it time to hire a Chief Financial Officer?
More than just a bookkeeper, payroll administrator or keeper of P&L and cash flow statements, a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) can help you plan, model, forecast and make better business decisions. A CFO looks at your business holistically–this includes people, processes and systems–and ensures that together you have accurate financial information to plan for the future.
A CFO will also work with you or your accountant to understand the drivers for business performance. They'll pick up on signals that might indicate a problem (such as a potential cash flow issue down the line), and help you make informed decisions about reaching your business goals.
Are You Ready for a CFO?
We all have sleepless nights worrying about the direction of our business; when cash flow will take a turn for the better; or where our next higher margin client is coming from. And being a small business owner, wearing all those hats, it isn't easy to step away from the day-to-day details and look at your business as a whole.
A CFO can help with these worries–and needn't break the bank in the process.
How to Cost-Effectively Hire a CFO
If your business is growing fast, then you could consider hiring a CFO on a part-time or as-needed basis and start delegating some of that financial angst. Management consulting firms often offer this type of service. If budget really is an issue, consider the volunteer services of SCORE.
SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through education and mentorship. SCORE mentors deliver free, confidential, valuable advice for your business needs across diverse industries and business functions including finance, marketing, operations, technology and more. Connect with a mentor here.
Not Quite There Yet? Consider an Accountant
If you are still in start-up or growth mode—or feel you'd benefit with the help of someone to take care of your daily financial obligations such as account payables and receivables, payroll, taxes, and make sound judgments to benefit your personal and business finances—then you should really consider hiring an accountant. If you already have one, consider leaning on their services a little more.
An accountant can save you time and clear up much of the confusion that you experience when it comes to managing your finances. This blog offers tips on finding and interviewing potential accountants: How to Find an Accountant Who Can Help Your Small Business over the Long Haul.

Midwest currently just use a bookkeeper which helps somewhat but isn't a
replacement for having a good accountant. I recommend that most small
businesses save their bookkeeper money for spending on an accountant. Thanks
for sharing.

in the center city of Charlotte the Westin has everything I needed. I used the restaurant, fitness center, bell services and the banquet/event staff. The banquet and housekeeping staff did a fabulous job transforming the ballroom from a late night event to our AV set up at 7:00 AM. Fantastic staff all the way around!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 252sarah Parking issues
The signage for the parking garage is not clear. When you get out of your car, upon arrival, it says in big letters B1, but there is a little tiny M in the bottom RH corner. New comers, Please take notice. When you get ready to leave the hotel, the elevator buttons and doors signs say: BM B1 B2 B3. As you leave you remember Parking on B1 and not on BM. You actually are parked on BM even though the signs appear to be B1. Its very confusing. Their signs need to be consistent and they are not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ctkordes Best staff in difficult situations.....
During the snow storm over February 11-13, 2014, the Charlotte Westin and it's staff were fantastic. They worked hard to meet everyone's needs under a very stressful time. Many of the employees were having to spend the night in order to be able to be at work to meet the guests needs.
I befriended the manager, Leo Percopo, and told him how fantastic everything was. I had a party of 9 colleagues with me from NY, WI, MO, and OR. We all felt the same way.
I am a frequent traveller and stay at SPG at all times, unless there is no other option. This was a well handled situation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by finney0209 Best experience we've ever had!!
This hotel is fantastic. My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary, and we had a wonderful time! This was our first time staying at this hotel, and it completely went above and beyond our expectations! We told the check in lady that it was our wedding anniversary, and that we were in town for a local event at Amos' Southend. She gave us walking directions (which is what we wanted) and was very friendly. When we came back to our room, we found that we received a complimentary bottle of sparkling white wine, and 6 humongous chocolate covered strawberries! They were delicious!! Although the event at Amos' was somewhat disappointing, the stay at the hotel made up for that. Plus we were able to have a late check out on Sunday, and that was very nice because we were not rushed!! I highly recommend this hotel, and want to reserve a weekend here for my birthday!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy2014 Wonderful experience!
While attending a conference in Charlotte, NC, I had the pleasure of being a guest at the Westin Charlotte. This hotel surpassed all of my expectations and truly helped make this trip one of my best yet. A big thank you to the staff for being so friendly and accommodating throughout the week.

Illinois Digital Archives
Mrs. Stevenson dedicates Canton trauma facility, by Don Hopper: Mrs. Adlai Stevenson III, wife of the U.S. senator from Illinois, said local cooperation was the main ingredient which made possible the new trauma center at Graham Hospital. The center was dedicated yesterday. She said it will take continued cooperation among doctors, nurses and ambulance personnel to make the center work to best advantage. She said her husband is proud of the trauma center system in the state. She said he recently made a speech in the Senate describing how Illinois is leading the nation in establishing such a network among hospitals. She presented a plaque to Hermann Raster, president of the Graham Hospital Board of Trustees, dedicating the trauma center. Dr. David Boyd, chief of emergency medical services and highway safety in the state Department of Public Health, said the trauma center concept was developed in Chicago and it is now copied throughout the nation.

Soldier's family believes cancer death tied to Army burn pits
For six months, Joshua Casteel slept 100 yards from an open-air burn pit that devoured everything from plastics and paint to electronics and human body parts. The Cedar Rapids native didn't know smoke from the pit may also have been devouring his lungs. Casteel, a 32-year-old writer and peace activist, died Aug. 25 of lung [...]

The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art was established in 1945 to present the art and culture of Tibet and the Himalayas to a world audience. The Museum fulfills this mission through careful stewardship of its collection of rare and valuable Tibetan Artifacts.
The Museum was established by Jacques Marchais (1887-1948), a remarkable American woman who was an early collector of Tibetan Art. Between 1920 – 1948, Marchais amassed a significant collection of Tibetan sculpture, paintings, ritual objects, decorative objects, furniture, photographs and books about the history of Tibet and the Himalayas. The collection has been on view to the public since the Museum's official opening in 1947.
The artifacts in the collection represent the art of Tibet and those countries which fell within the sphere of Tibetan Buddhism, including Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia and Northern China and date from the 12th through 20th century. These objects are beautifully crafted and were made for use in the monasteries of Tibet. Due to political activities in the region, many of the monasteries once housing these significant objects were destroyed and the cultural history of the Tibetan people is now preserved in museums outside of the region such as the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art.
The Museum maintains a permanent exhibition of more than 125 objects and presents rotating exhibits that highlight specific examples of Tibetan and Himalayan culture. The collection includes many fine examples of bronze sculptures from Nepal dating from the 18th century and more than 125 thankga or scroll paintings backed with silk from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The photographs shown below are from a 1935-1936 expedition to a remote area of eastern Tibet, record the adventures of 25 year old John Hanbury-Tracy and 26 year old Ronald Kaulback. With the backing of the British Royal Geographical Society, they went in search of the source of the Salween, one of the great rivers of Asia that originates in Tibet. At the time, on maps, the upper course of the Salween was an immense blank space.
Among the first Europeans to enter this area, for two years they had no contact with the outside world as they traveled across a rough and unforgiving terrain. Although they did not succeed in reaching the Salween's origin due to impending war, they mapped 25,000 square miles and brought back specimens of plant and insect life for the British Museum of Natural History. Their photographs bring to life impressions of local villages, the river's rope bridges, sturdy yaks, and the people of the upper Salween valley.
Hanbury-Tracy, who died in 1971, published the story of his journey in his Black River of Tibet in 1938. Kaulback also published his tale, a 1938 book, Salween. Their accounts and photographs record aspects of Tibetan culture now lost through political and cultural transformation of the region.
Many of these photographs, donated to the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art by Sir Bryan Frasi were included in the Museum's 2005 exhibit, Exploring Tibet: In Search of the Salween.
