Rated 5 out of 5 by TSW3 Relaxing Maui getaway After past stays at the Westin and Villas we wanted to stay at an SPG resort that was a bit more relaxed, and we were not disappointed. Everyone was very nice and truly seemed to appreciate our being there - from Jonathan prior to our arrival, Noah at check in and Jeff at valet. The new Club Lounge is beautiful and an unexpected perk. I can't say that all SPG properties recognize SPG status, but the Sheraton Maui went out of their way for us. We will definitely be back!

Rated 4 out of 5 by John99 Beautiful Resort First let me preface this review by saying I am Starwood Gold so I do hold Sheraton to a quite a high standard. First thing I would say is this is a stunning resort right beside black rock. Check in was a breeze, and the front desk staff was very helpful. While the resort is very spread out, if you don't mind a small walk each day you cannot beat the views that it provides. The only draw back I found was that not all the staff are as helpful as the front desk staff. We primarily had 3 small issues that need not have happened, and could have been solved quite quickly I thought. However, 2 of the three never did get resolved ( daily paper, maintenance issue) and the third we had to keep reminding the front desk about. We ask for and were confirmed a late check out but the front desk did not put the confirmation into the system. After three visits back to the desk they finally got it right. While this in no way spoiled our vacation I really do wish they could have dealt with the issues in a more professional manner in keeping with the exceptional quality of the resort. However, overall I would give this resort a very high recommendation, and hope that they invest some more in training staff with how to deal with customer issues. December 25, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ono4 pretty unhappy i made the reservation for my daughter to stay one night prior to checking into our westin villa condos. i told the person making the reservation it would be my daughter using the room. when she arrived there was no record and the check in people were not really very friendly nor understanding. they begrugingly said "well we will honor it this time " not saying whether if they didnt honor it they would not have allowed her to check in. i got on the phone with her but they didnt want to talk to me . As a platinum member this is not what i have come to expect from your orgainzation. i do not understand the issue and want someone to call me to explain just what the big deal is about my family using the rooms that i paid for .

Rated 4 out of 5 by CocoG I love the Maui Sheraton We recently came back to the Sheraton and loved it so much I had to write a review. The location simply can't be beat - the beach at black rock is absolutely amazing and the Sheraton makes it even better. The accommodations need a bit of a face lift but it won't stop us from returning. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Derek97 Incredible Views, Great Staff From the second we walked in we were in paradise. Gorgeous entry way giving views of grounds. Welcoming friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable with incredible views of the Kaanapali beach. Right next to two great golf courses and 15 minutes from the Plantation course. What a great way to spend our 20th anniversary. We'll recommend to all our friends and be back every year! July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CBinAusTx Great stay in Maui Although the facilities didn't meet my expectations of excellent, my overall stay was very good. The view was truly beautiful and the room was adequately clean. The room was also well appointed with nice furniture that did show a tremendous amount of age. One of the most remarkable features of this room was the insulation. I never heard ANY of my neighbors or individuals outside the room or on adjacent lanai. Considering all of the aspects of this room, it was worth the price. July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bugly91 Great location, comfortable rooms The beach is great here - snorkeling is a short walk away from your room and we saw fish, sea turtles and reef with plenty of coral. Black rock was also very scenic and there were plenty of people jumping off. The water is very calm and is suitable for swimming, the sun is hot and it's quite perfect for family, sunbathing, couples - whatever. The room was great, but we had two bulbs out and they had to be changed. Also, we called down to have the valet bring the car out and it never happened, so we had to sit and wait 15 minutes for this to happen. This made us late for our surf lesson. March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KeithTenn Great hotel with wonderful staff, features, and amenities We stayed at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa the week of Aug 24-31 and had a wonderful time. Received a nice upgrade from a resort view room to beach/water view room, based on it being our 17th anniversary and that we have stayed here at least twice in the past. Again, the facilities and staff did not disappoint. Small, personal touches like a welcome gift bag left in our room welcoming us back and congratulating us on our anniversary, along with a box of Hawaiian Host Caramacs and Hawaiian water, and a card for 2 free drinks at the Cliff Dive Bar are the kinds of "personal touches" that - while not much - made us feel special and will want to return. Only areas for improvement are perhaps clean and refresh the grout everywhere in the shower and surrounding areas, and work with the staff at the 2 bars at the pool area. One lady (J. Rhyke ??) was extra friendly when we rented one of the pool cabanas for the day, came over brought us water and took our drink and lunch order. 2 days later in the same location, a girl from the Cliff Dive Bar came over and when we again attempted to order what we had 2 days before, she quickly responded that "she can't bring the stuff from the other bar and that we'd have to get it ourselves." Ok, well, that doesn't help your tip any. On my way to pick it up at the other bar area the sweet girl from days before recognized me, said "Oh hey!" and asked how we were doing. Told her about the incident and she just acted like it shouldn't have happened and said, "I'll take care of you. That's not right." September 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RDOC61 Needs Work I chose the Sheraton Maui for the site of my second wedding. This was after carefully considering, literally, all of the properties on Maui, and also based upon my twenty previous Maui visits, including two to this hotel. I chose it based upon the beauty of the wedding site, and its proximity to a world-class beach, shopping and restaurants, as we had four other guests, none of who had cars. Had it just been just my bride and I, I would have chosen another property, for many reasons, as the cost was not much more, and the the quality of service so much better. However, the othern properties require a car to get around the local area. I will list my highs and lows for the Sheraton: 1. The original "wedding planner" (joke title) was fired when she stopped responding to calls or emails. We were not at all difficult, but needed the usual guidance in contacting vendors (such as the florist or photographer). She also was no help at all in choosing rooms for our visit, instead referring me to the map of the (very large) complex, with its somewhat difficult to decipher description of rooms and room locations. She was replaced after two very direct calls strongly requesting someone actually help us. Eva Stoecker, the Event/Catering Manager, stepped in (at the eleventh hour) and pulled it all out. We did not need this headache. The original "planner" needs retrained or replaced. 2. My bride's brother sent a monetary gift to our account for use in the spa. The hotel sent a card stating a "gift" was sent, with no explanation of what it was. It took three calls to the front desk to find out what it was. They had multiple excuses why they did not tell us what it was, and no manager returned a call at any time we requested (when we would be in) to discuss. 2. I ordered flowers to be delivered to the room upon our arrival. As we arrived at 7 PM on a Saturday, they were delivered earlier, and placed in the office behind the front desk, and only delivered after I asked if they had come. I guess no one could understand what the large floral arrangement with my name on it was for! 3. The hotel breakfast buffet is WAY overpriced! We all walked to the nearby shopping area for better food at a much lower cost, daily. From previous experience, I also chose to not dine in the hotel otherwise, as nearby restaurants are so much better. 4. The valet service was efficient and polite. Its cost was very reasonable. 5. The spa was excellent, but it is not managed by the hotel. 6. Until I specifically inquired, there was no explanation of how the $100 AAA credit (from my booking) was to be applied to my acount. 7. Both Eva and a front desk person worked to change our suite from a two bed to one king, and did a good job in getting us a an excellent suite that we moved into on our third night there. 8. The hotel map uses Hawaiian names for the buildings, yet the staff sends you to "Building 1", etc. This is simply confusing. As you can see, the front desk services need a lot of work..... Overall, I cannot rate this hotel at better than three stars, if that. Without its location, this hotel would not do well at all. I would recommend this hotel to an inexperienced traveler, who expects little form the hotel itself, based upon the stunning location and nearby shopping and restaurants....not based upon much in the hotel itself. As for me, I am unsure that I will return here. To add....I attended a meeting here before, and that went smoothly, except for vast problems with the room charges at checkout, that required a lenghty review while delaying my departure.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pebo Great view, lots to do, WiFi sucked. Black Rock is one of the best places to snorkel so it makes sense to stay right there. In addition, the pool is really nice. What we really enjoyed was that we didn't have to leave the area many of the days of our stay. This makes vacationing very relaxing. The on site Luau was great, not a big as the one we went to down the road 5 years ago which is a plus to me. We ate at a few of the local restaurants and the food and service was very good. Larry at Black Rock even took the time to look us up and learn our first names which I thought was a great touch. The only negatives were that our in room fridge wasn't cold enough for the milk we bought so we needed to get an ice chest and the WiFi really sucked. I'm sure they deliberately do this in an attempt to get you to pay $16/day for their "premium" WiFi service. This is 2013, the good businesses realize that offering decent (note I'm not expecting great, just decent connectivity that doesn't go up and down and throttle moderate usage regularly) WiFi is a part of doing businesses. I call it the Starbucks vs. Peets mode of operation. Starbucks gets it, they just offer you free and good WiFi. Peets, they make you get a number to sign in and you have to go to the desk. That number expires in a couple of hours. Having good WiFi makes attracts people who need decent connectivity to your business whether it's coffee or a vacation spot. Those people will notice and will make choices based on this simple benefit. In short, I highly recommend the Sheraton Maui. The location is perfect, the Luau was great and the local restaurants were great. The snorkeling and swimming were very enjoyable. Not having to drive to swim/snorkel were very welcome. Please, just make the normal WiFi not suck and it would be perfect. June 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike21 A Great Resort with beautiful grounds This was my first time in Maui and am I glad I stayed at the Sheraton Maui. The staff is excellent from Evelyn at the front desk to Mack in the Restaurant. This is an oasis with in an oasis. The grounds are beautiful, the pool is terrific and the rooms are luxorious. We were in building number 3 and the views were spectacular. It is a beautiful hotel and the staff is not overbearing. You will relax here and take in Beautiful Maui. The only thing I would improve is that I would have pol attendent a tthe pool and require all guests to wear an arm bracelet so you know you are swimming with registered guests. Maui is a quiet place and this historic hotel overlooking the famous black rock mountain made the vacation. It is a first class hotel that know how to treat Platinum members April 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PlatinumMNTraveler Service and Staff Excellence My wife and I spent 10 days at the resort for our 30th wedding anniversary this September, WOW did we love it! I travel around the world and expect a high level of excellence when paying for great properties. We were not disappointed and in fact we were more than delighted at the Sheraton! Before going, I called and spoke to the GM's Executive Assistant, Nicha. I explained why we were coming to the hotel and that I really wanted my wife to have an experience of a lifetime. Nicha assured me that this would be the case. We talked about what we wanted in terms of a room and privacy mixed with the beauty of view of the ocean. She confirmed us in room 4611 (in my mind the best room in the property) which overlooked the ocean and Black Rock. AMAZING! After a flawless Saturday night check in and help to the room by John from the bell staff, we were set. The next day we met Chase at the beach services location. Chase served us extremely well and I greatly appreciated his tips on the best places to stop and hike on the Road to Hana. The other person we met from that staff was Jason (from Las Vegas) that made our trip enjoyable when at the pool. Another great staff member was Sean, Front Office Director that made sure all of the details and services for our room were handled for our suite and our late checkout. Another favorite employee was Virgil, the manager at the Valet desk that smiled and could joke around with me when my car was brought around. Virgil's staff was courteous and kind and I trusted them with my rental car. Last but certainly not least was the concierge staff. We found that everyone was helpful, we had Lorri work with us several times for finding things to do and great restaurants on the island. Masterful! The housekeeping staff is often overlooked, I will not overlook them. Our room was always neatly made and cleaned and we thank all concerned. I highly highly recommend this property and want to thank everyone that made this anniversary special. September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lisa5 WONDERFUL!!!! We had an amazing time at the Sheraton Maui! From the moment we walked in the staff was kind, courteous and helpful. We stayed in building 6, and our room had an incredible view. We saw whales the moment we walked out on to our private lanai, and watched as sea turtles swam around Black Rock. The snorkeling here was fantastic (the best we found on the entire island) and the grounds were impeccable. We took this trip to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, and we will most certainly be coming back with our 3 children. No need to look at any other resorts on Maui, this one has it all! January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by nettie108 This hotel has a perfect location. Located on Kaanapali beach by Black Rock, this hotel has a great location. Just a short walk to Whalers Village shops and restaurants. The snorkeling right in front of the hotel is amazing with a beautiful sandy beach. Our room was clean and well maintained. The bed was super comfy. Our room was well laid out with plenty of sockets to charge our electronics. The entire hotel seemed clean. The grounds were beautiful, but I wish they didn't use the gas powered blower and trimmer right next to the pool three days in a row. The staff was friendly and efficient I would have given this hotel 5 stars if the restaurants had better service. No matter what time of the day, the service was super slow at both the Black Rock and poolside. The food was delicious, but not always worth the wait. April 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DBART Sheraton Maui Stole Our Hearts Thank you Evelyn for making our 35th Wedding Anniversary the most special vacation at Sheraton Maui ever! We appreciate your caring personal attention to making our return experience perfect. Everyone we encountered had warm Aloha spirit and tried to help in any manner possible. When ever calling for additional supplies or needs met with quick responses! We will return as soon as possible, we'll be leaving a part of our hearts at Sheraton Maui. May 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan1996 Staff very accommodating We had reserved an ocean front room with a lanai/balcony. When we checked in we found that our room's lanai was not even big enough for one small chair and the ocean view from 6th floor was obstructed by trees. Nelia, the guest services manager on duty immediately went to work to find us the perfect room. She was very accommodating and professional. The housekeeping staff exceptional. Only suggestion we would make is for rooms to have ceiling fans to make them more comfortable, tropical, and to save energy. Beautiful resort with prime beach front property and facilities. February 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SSCookies Moana Tower Had ants in the room. Reported it the second day, they came and sprayed, then ants were back and in our luggage, etc. Did not enjoy trecking across a walkway and up and down three elevators just to get to the beach or pool. Beautiful view, but that's the best thing about this tower. Restaurants were ok, but nothing spectacular and very pricey. May 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by deedee123 would've been an excellent rating but... My stay would've been excellent but there was an incident 1 night when the fire alarm went off at 1:30am which was very inconvenient as everybody had to leave their room and stand outside not knowing what was going on. No employees came by to let us know what was going on. The speaker was so faint we couldn't hear what was being said. Also another night, we waited for sunset to see the cliff dive at Black Rock but that did not happen and no reason was given. Other than those incidents, the hotel was very nice, staff was friendly, self parking was awesome for people with car rental and is walking distance to Whaler's Village. Also there was free shuttle to other Starwood locations and to Front Street. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zontar Good hotel but expensive for what you get. Superb location on Kanapali. My wife has been coming to this hotel since 1975. Prices for rooms are very high now and they could use some renovation. As well there seems to be many meddlesome conventions that now hit this place on a regular basis. Food is ok, Front Desk staff was great, housekeeping ok but not great. Conceirge is very good. Claudia and Larry at the poolside services were great. May 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Traveller82 Great location, great beach and pools; frontdesk could be friendlier Stayed at this hotel for 5 days during thanksgiving; Loved the beach and the snorkeling right off the hotel; We checked out other hotels in this stretch in K'pali bay but this one had the best beach; Two things we didnt like - Bathroom wasn't very clean when we checked-in; Secondly, when we went to complaint, the front desk wasn't very friendly and their tone was a little rude which put us off (and we avoided the front desk for the rest of our trip) - that said, the other staff - restaurant, spg desk, valet were extremely nice, cordial, helpful and friendly December 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by VacationerFromSeattle All good, except Ants in room and cockroach in hallway. We had an enjoyable stay aside from a few minor issues. On the pluses - they have a nice courtyard/garden and beach. Fantastic location next to blackrock - snorkeling was excellent. There are a few things that turned us off from this place also however. Namely, the ants we found in our room, and a cockroach about the size of a half a banana in the hallway. Other nitpicks, the Mai Tai bar's happy hour doesn't include Mai Tai's (WTH?)?. Rather deceiving wouldn't you say? $17 for a moderately sized plate of nachos? I realize everything in Hawaii is expensive, but that seems a bit much for nachos. Drinks are also overpriced for what you get, at about $11 per drink. The gal at the Starwood club desk where they offer you 'free gifts' to come pick up was quite pushy and very eager to get us to sign up for their time share spiel. She was very concerned that we might come back and she wouldn't be there to get her "gold star" so we could only come back (according to her) when she was available and provided a list of the days she works. Serious LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM. The rest of the staff elsewhere (waiters/bartenders/maids, etc) were great. May 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dan26 Restful Stay on Maui Beautiful pool, soothing sounds of birds and the ocean, tropical breezes, friendly staff, very comfortable room & lanai - all made for a wonderful 1-week vacation.. Only problem: we couldn't get a place to sit or lie down by the pool the first day - the staff told us to save chairs with towels early in the day (8 am), which worked well for the rest of our stay. The Sheraton also did a better job during the week of passing out colored wrist bands to guests while asking non-guests to move so Sheraton guests could use the pool chairs. March 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PattyHas Disappointed Hotel is tired, not updated. Food pricey. Happy hour reasonable, rest of time pricey. Beach services good. Staff very nice, helpful, approachable. Proximity to village great. Shuttle to town was easy as well as self park. Renting beach equipment easy. Cliff diving ceremony informative. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KM0504 Staff Friendliness Bellman , Valet .Pool Staff and housekeeping were warm, engaging and sincere in their efforts to exceed our expectations. The Front Desk, Retail and staff encountered while walking the property (not directly engaged in service) seemed aloof and disinterested; this was disappointing at the very least knowing your standards. May 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopping3 Our first real experience in Maui By the time we checked in, all our 11 heavy pieces of luggage we're heading for our room with us. The food was delicious, view from room amazing and the staff made you feel at home straight away at any hour, day or night. Best internet connection ever July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rhonda23 Nice but not great This hotel is nice but not as nice as many of the other Sheraton Resorts we have stayed at. The rooms were clean and housekeeping was always very prompt. The hotel staff were all very nice and friendly with the exception of the pool staff that handed out towels. Every time I requested 4 towels for the 2 of us they made me feel like I was not a guest but somehow trying to sneak on the property even though I had towel cards and my room key! If they are that concerned then instead of making your actual guests feel bad come up with a better system. I found this very offensive and have never been treated so poorly. The pool area is small and the lounge chairs are just okay. Again for a "resort" it is just not up to par with others in their own brand. The staff at both pool bars were excellent and very pleasant. The grounds are nice and well maintained. The only other negative is they only give you 2 dresser drawers in your room. That to me is not sufficient for most people who are probably on a week vacation and especially those that might be sharing a room with kids. We had to cram our clothes in and not even any drawers on the night stands. May 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AZTom The Hawaiian All Stars! I have stayed at the Sheraton Maui many times over the last 25 years. The staff is always excellent. There are always a few that go above and beyond. Evelyn and Ivy at the front desk always treat us like royalty and go out of their way to make our stay memorable. Dyanne in the Club Lounge is a tremendous addition to the staff. Each morning and afternoon she makes each guest laugh and feel special. She is entertaining and has a way to engage people of all ages and cultures that cannot be taught. March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mimie I needed a vacation and I got it!!! My husband and I loved our stay in the Sheraton Maui hotel. My only basis was the photos I found on the hotel's website which sold me out to book our stay here. The actual place is just grand. The location is excellent. Our first Black Rock dinner (and the consecutive ones) was sumptious. The staff are very courteous and very friendly. My husband said, there's really no need to rent a car to go anywhere, we could just have stayed in the hotel and we'll be happy. He wants us to come back to this hotel in the future ;) February 16, 2013

CATEGORIES MoviesThough "Skyfall" was the most successful James Bond movie in the franchise's history, director Sam Mendes won't be on board for the next in the series.
He told Empire magazine it was "a very difficult decision," but he's committed to other projects -- including a theatrical production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The Oscar winner for "American Beauty" made "Skyfall" the most brooding, personal, and perhaps soul-searching Bond movie yet. So, whoever directs the 24th installment could put his or her own very distinctive touch on the classic series.
With that in mind, here are five completely out-of-the-box, tongue-in-cheek suggestions for 007's next director:

Sup Bobcat fans, GS Warrior fan here.
We have a very active board and there has been A LOT of discussion around MKG and moving up to #2 or 3 to get him.
We've also seen a lot of discussion about you guys possibly trading down to acquire more picks.
I polled Golden State of Mind two days ago and asked them if they would be willing to package ALL of our picks this year, 7, 30, 35, 52 to move up to #2 where we would select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Out of 336 votes, 77% said they would be willing to give up all of our picks to you for the #2.
A lot of people feel that Charlotte would not favor this, thinking it would not be enough.
My argument was that unfortunately for you guys, you missed out on Davis at #1. After that, #2-8 is a bit of a crap shoot. Players going at 7 in some mocks are slated to go #2 in others. Picks 2-8 are really flipping and flopping.
I'm going to poll Rufus on Fire with the same exact question.
Would you trade the #2 for all of our picks?
I'd also like some insight into your roster, salary cap, etc to even see if you would want 4 draft picks and if that could work.
If you don't think it would work, or it you don't feel we're giving up enough please clarify/elaborate in the comments as to what you would want in addition.
FYI, the players we're seeing projected to us with our picks are
#7 - Sullinger, Barnes, Beal, Terrence Jones
#30 & 35 - Taylor, Ezeli, Royce White, Tony Wroten, Nicholson, Draymond Green, Jenkins, Melo.

The night before he was killed in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech in which he talked about the unwell woman who had grievously wounded him 10 years earlier, recounting how doctors said that if he had merely sneezed, the blade which she'd plunged into his chest would've punctured his aorta, and he would have bled to death.
Of the thousands of letters he received wishing him well, King said that night, he remembered only one.
"Dear Dr. King," it began, "I am a ninth-grade student at the White Plains High School … While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I am a white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze."
So am I, little girl. So am I.
I'm also glad that Dr. John Cordice came into work on his day off.
The good doctor
Cordice was one of the surgeons who used a hammer and chisel to crack King's sternum and remove the blade. Two weeks later, King left the hospital and for the next decade goaded an at-times recalcitrant country into living up to its creed. It was because of the agitation of King and thousands whose names are lost to history – who have no holiday in their honor – that America is great.
John Walter Vincent Cordice Jr.'s name was almost lost to history. Cordice, who was born in Aurora but grew up in Durham, died last month. He was 94.
He was chief of thoracic and vascular surgery at Harlem Hospital, but he was not working Saturday, Sept. 20, 1958. In author Hugh Pearson's 2002 book "When Harlem Nearly Killed King: The 1958 Stabbing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," he wrote that New York Gov. Averell Harriman wanted black surgeons, if possible, to perform the surgery. So Cordice was called in.
The Federal Communications Commission had only approved pagers for general use earlier that year, so it's unlikely that Cordice had one strapped to his belt. Instead, he said in interviews that his young daughter and he had stopped by his Brooklyn office to pick up mail, when the telephone rang and he was called to Harlem. He said he was told only that an important person had been injured.
Credit given where due
For years, credit for the lifesaving surgery was bestowed upon Dr. Aubre de Lambert Maynard, but many historians and others concur that it was Cordice and Dr. Emil Naclerio, an Italian-American, who did the heavy lifting. It's now accepted by many that Maynard, who basked in the accolades as the surgeon who saved King – wouldn't you? – came in and removed the blade.
I couldn't reach Alan D. Aviles, president of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corp., which operates New York public clinics and hospitals. But a spokesman sent a statement in which Aviles called Cordice "a brilliant clinical practitioner, a wise and thoughtful teacher, and a man of deep and abiding kindness and quiet modesty. It is entirely consistent with his character that many who knew him may well not have known that he was also a part of history."
It was probably that modesty that led him to wait until recent years to acknowledge that it was Naclerio and he who performed the surgery, not Maynard.
In a 2012 television interview, Cordice said Maynard, who was legitimately esteemed, "decided it would be better if he assumed a principal role here, in spite of the fact that he did not do the surgery. We were not going to challenge him because actually he was the boss."
Hmmm. Makes sense. Have you ever heard the old saying: "The operation was successful, but the patient died"? This is one instance where the operation was successful and the patient survived.
So did the nation.

According to an early 2010 news story, minorities accounted for almost 49% of U.S. births in the year ending July 1, 2009.
By now, minorities are probably in the majority. Regardless of who or what is in the majority or minority, it is clear that America -- and many parts of the world -- have become a melting pot with an array of viewpoints, tastes, preferences and expectations.
In the short clip below, our Senior Vice President of Purchasing & Supplier Quality Dan Knott talks about the importance of having a diverse supplier base for Chrysler Group, and ties it into the communities in which we work, and the customers we serve.

In reply to Haryana\'s mammoth 587 for nine, Karnataka were all out for 272 with rookie Kunal Kapoor scoring his maiden first-class hundred as Harshal picked up five for 79.
Having conceded a lead of 315 runs, Karnataka batted safely in the second innings reaching 63 for no loss with India discard Robin Uthappa hiting 37 and partner Lokesh Rahul scoring 24.
Save Kapoor who scored 106 with the help of 10 boundaries and a six and Uthappa who smashed 51 in the first innings, the other Karnataka batsmen didn\'t show any required application as they lost wickets at regular intervals.
While Kapoor held fort at one end during his 268 minute stay at the crease, all the other Karnataka batsmen including Uthappa were guilty of getting out playing poor strokes.
Haryana skipper Amit Mishra also got three wickets including the important wicket of Uthappa who was taken by Rahul Dewan in the close-in region.
While Harshal ran through the middle-order, Joginder Sharma complemented him well removing the dangerous Stuart Binny and left-hander Amit Verma.
Brief Scores:
Haryana 587/9 decl.
Karnataka 272 (Kunal Kapoor 106, Harshal Patel 5/79, Amit Mishra 3/79) & following on 63/0 (Robin Uthappa 37 no)

CINCINNATI, OH (TOLEDO NEWS NOW) - A Cincinnati-based company called No Limits has created a license plate frame to block pictures from red light and speeding cameras.
The technology is called No Photo. The frame detects a flash from a red light or speeding camera and emits its own flash. That causes the camera to only photograph a bright, white light over the license plate.
The company says they have studied the law as it's written in Ohio and the device is legal in their interpretation. The company writes on its website "Since there is nothing physically covering or obscuring the license plate, the noPhoto does not violate any license plate cover laws. Quite literally, we are using the same light and the same bulbs that red light and speed cameras do. The noPhoto does not cover any state names, and there are no laws in existence regulating how much light is cast onto the license plate."
No Limits has a funding campaign going on now to raise cash to put the invention into production. They have raised about $12,000 toward an $80,000 goal on the crowdsource funding site Indiegogo.
The invention is being featured on major technology news sites such as Mashable. It is available for pre-order.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Authorities still don't know what caused the death of a man whose skeletal remains were found earlier this year behind the southern New Jersey apartment complex where he lived.
Gloucester County prosecutors tell The South Jersey Times (http://bit.ly/Jl2JQu) that an autopsy could not determine a cause of death for 62-year-old Michael Miller.
Miller's badly decomposed remains were found in October by a person passing through some woods behind the Washington Way Apartments in Washington Township. That discovery came nearly a year after Miller was reported missing by the apartment complex's property manager.
Authorities have said Miller lived alone, and his car was still parked at his apartment and his cellphone was left in his residence. His remains were identified by jewelry and medical records.

RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) - Former Keenan High School basketball star Jerome Harper is on his way back to South Carolina to face charges in a cold case murder.
When Jerome "Buddy" Harper went airborne, crowds at Keenan High went wild, but the next flight Buddy Harper takes is expected to land him in the hands of Columbia police.
"I talked to Buddy ... We're making arrangements for him to come down and turn himself in," says his former attorney, Billy Walker.
Harper, considered a fugitive, was named a suspect this week in the 1999 shooting death of his friend and Columbia motel owner Nick Thompson. At the time of the murder, Harper was just 17, and widely regarded as one of the top high school basketball players in the country.
His uncle says, "I'm trying to put the pieces together. With criminal activity, high-school and playing ball ... just no way."
"Basketball was his way out," Walker says. He says Harper "had been bouncing around some schools ... Iowa State ... Frankly he didn't make his grades."
Billy Walker is a close friend of the Harpers. Walker got a front row seat, watching Harper chase his hoop dreams and fall terribly short.
Harper's demise began in 2000. With Walker as his attorney, Harper was charged with assault. The charges were later dropped, but he'd already lost a college scholarship.
Most recently, he'd settled for some semi-pro ball with the Chicago Throwbacks of the Premier Basketball League.
But the team's owner tells WIS News 10 that Harper was cut this week when he missed practice and no one could reach him.
"He's going to turn himself in voluntarily, come back from Chicago and do the right thing," says Walker. "We love the kid. Think the world of him and we'll do what we can to support him. And we pray he's not truly guilty of what he's accused of."
Harper is expected in South Carolina soon. Family says it could be Friday night; his former attorney says it could be early next week. A Columbia police spokesperson tells WIS News 10 the department isn't yet ready to set any sort of deadline.

U.S. Drug Enforcement agents and agents from New Hampshire demonstrate the danger of one-pot methamphetamine laboratories at the New Hampshire fire academy. (DEA)
"We have found them out in the woods; we've found them in vehicles; we've found them in multi-family dwellings; we've found them in hotels; we've found them in commercial buildings. That's how portable they are," said Trooper 1st Class Matthew Partington of New Hampshire State Police.
-- A Thornton man was arrested after allegedly cooking meth just feet from a child's portable crib.
-- A 56-year-old Gilford man was arrested on felony drug charges after a raid by local, county, state and federal authorities.
Then, on April 6, 2010, authorities encountered an entirely new way of producing meth, during a raid at a Franklin apartment building. "They call it the one-pot or the shake-and-bake method," Partington said. "It's a much easier process but a lot more volatile."
But what began as a Lakes Region problem has spread across the state, Partington said. "One person will teach a few of their friends how to do it. Those friends teach other people. It's like a pyramid," he said.
"We're not talking about the 'Breaking Bad' traditional or older-school labs that are creating large amounts of meth, clearly for distribution," he said, citing the popular TV show in which a chemistry teacher becomes a drug kingpin. "You can make this stuff in a very small bottle at this point."
"You can have materials that are discarded on the side of the road, and somebody's picking up the trash on the side of the road, and they could shake up a bottle that ends up exploding on them," he said.
This new kind of meth production also poses a risk to first responders - and unsuspecting neighbors - who may be exposed to toxic chemicals or flash fires, if the materials ignite, he said.
"I don't think most people realize how dangerous the chemicals are and how volatile they can be," said Thornton Police Chief Aimee Moller, where police discovered a one-pot lab just four feet from a child's crib.
Meth use is not confined to one demographic, Moller said. "We're seeing some early 20s up into 40s and 50s," she said.
The toll on the community can be enormous, Adams said, from the costs of health care and the justice system to the local businesses that have to be evacuated while first responders clear a dangerous scene.
Then there's the human cost, how it wrecks the lives of addicts and their families, he said. "Meth takes over their life, and that's all they care about.
"They don't care about eating. They don't care about taking care of themselves. It's just their next hit."
"Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive drugs that is out there. It breaks down the human body. I've seen that. I've seen it break apart families," he said.
"To see these young kids sitting in apartments where drugs are spread out all over the place in the middle of the day...," Adams said. "Not only is it dangerous - they can grab these drugs and consume them - but this is their life. This is the environment that they're living in.

Diner reopens in Willsboro
WILLSBORO — A venerable eatery for 76 years, the former Sportsman's Diner has new proprietors and has changed its name and décor.
Drew Reithel and his wife, Ramelie, decided to purchase the establishment, now the Willsboro Diner, and while they're making improvements, they're keeping the hometown diner values intact.
An eatery has stood at the location for more than three-quarters of a century, although this is actually the third structure to occupy the space.
"I'm the sixth or seventh owner. It used to be called Murphy's before it became the Sportsman's," Reithel said.
Previous owner helps
A chalkboard proclaims the eatery's motto, "More than a diner," as the Reithels feel it is a significant part of the community. In addition to food, it is a place where friends gather and often get the latest news.
Bob Burt, one of the previous owners, gets the griddle hot and coffeemaker perking when he comes in daily around 5:15 a.m. to ready things for the "regulars," who drift in some 15 minutes later. The frequent pre-dawn patrons wander in through the back door, sit in the dark so as not to attract a passerby actually looking for an early breakfast, and serve themselves.
The diner then opens at 6 when the cooks come in and prepare the normal fare.
"This really is a small-town diner," Reithel said. "Our business triples during the summer. Sundays are usually our biggest days because many customers come before or after church. When it gets really busy, our regulars help out by serving coffee or clearing the tables."
According to Bob Lacey, who owed the eatery in the 1980s, "The diner used to be larger and had a pool table when I used to be here. I've been here 53 wonderful years."
Reithel commented that he's not a sports person.
"I wanted to turn it back to the 60s, but I realize it will always be the Sportsman's to many," he said.
The new decor features a red-and-white square pattern on the oil-cloth table coverings as well as gingham curtains, which were specialty ordered from a Vermont firm.
"It was really neat to see people come in and be amazed by the change," Reithel said. "I think 99.8 percent were positive. The townspeople have been very supportive of me."
Reithel is saving a space for a tribute wall, which will feature old photographs of Willsboro, the diner and customers. A large photo of the baseball team that had been on display at the dinner was donated by Ed Collins to Willsboro's nursing home.
If anyone has old photos that would be appropriate for the wall, Reithel said, he would like to scan them for display.
More nostalgia emanates from the speakers as '60s rock and roll plays in the background.
Reithel has a lengthy culinary resume. He had been the cook at Westport Central School in the 1980s and later worked at Plattsburgh State as a food-service supervisor for Sodexo as well as at the college's Chartwell's dining facility.
In addition, Reithel has had his own catering business as well as the Adirondack BBQ food concession.
"At the diner, I serve the same ribs for which I have become known. I call it 'Smokin' Fridays' and feature my pulled pork for lunch and ribs for dinner."
Reithel is also contemplating having a buffet once a week starting in the winter.
"I've spent my whole life in Willsboro," he said. "My parents and God-parents owned the Wampum Lodge on Long Pond."
Staff retained
Waitress Candy Lacey is considered "the anchor" by Reithel.
"We're all like family. I used to come here every day after school in the late 1970s. Drew didn't just buy the diner, he bought the staff," Lacey quipped.
Vesta Spring has been a regular at the establishment for more than 20 years.
"I just retired after 27 years as a bus driver. I would stop in all the time. When I come in here and it's busy, I just take over and help," Spring said.
Although it maintains its old-time character, the diner has broached the 21st Century as it features a Wi-Fi connection.
Hours are Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. and Sunday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. Call 963-8399 for additional information.

According to a report in the Gothenburg Post and lent further credence by this Tweet from former Sounder Erik Friberg, the Seattle Sounders have signed 28-year-old Sweden international right back Adam Johansson. Johansson spent last season (and the majority of his career) with IFK Göteborg, one of Sweden's most successful clubs and the only Scandinavian team to win a European competition, but is currently out of contract. If true, the Sounders will have filled the last major hole in their starting XI in finding a replacement for James Riley who was lost in the MLS Expansion Draft.
The Swedish leagues are less high profile than many other in Europe and so the number of folks in the US that have seen him play regularly is likely quite small, but given what we know about the team's desire to improve the quality of fullback play it's a decent bet to think the Sounders feel as though Johansson is an upgrade over James Riley. Johansson is a natural right back but has spent a good portion of time on the left as well, giving the Sounders some additional flexibility in defense. The signing is yet to be confirmed and there are almost certainly changes still to come, but for the first time since the expansion draft it would appear as though the Sounders have a full starting XI with which they can be comfortable.

Girls basketball: Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast regional quarterfinal preview, schedule, predictions
By Matt Porter
The 20 area teams that survived the district tournaments are moving onto regionals. Here's what to watch for in Thursday night's regional quarterfinals.
All games are 7 p.m. Thursday. Admission is $7.
Centennial (8-6A runner-up) at Orlando-Colonial (5-8A winner)
Colonial (20-5) lost to Haines City, St. Augustine and West Orange, three teams with a combined 71-10 record. The Grenadiers knocked off Orlando-University (20-5) in its district final. Meanwhile, Centennial (10-11) scored just 24 points in a district final loss to Vero Beach Pick: Colonial
Park Vista (10-8A runner-up) at Palm Beach Central (9-8A winner)
This is the first home playoff game in Central's eight-year history, and it has a good shot at getting its first win. The Broncos should be riding the momentum of Saturday's OT win over Dwyer. Park Vista has a strong group of forwards, but Central should be able to push them around down low. To have a chance, Park Vista has to slow down Central's freshman wing, Crystal Primm, who scored a game-high 26 points against Dwyer. Pick: Palm Beach Central.
Dwyer (9-8A runner-up) at Boca Raton (10-8A winner)
The set-up of the quarterfinal brackets guarantees there will be at least one Palm Beach County team in the 8A regional finals. Dwyer, despite losing to Palm Beach Central in their district final, has the best shot of advancing beyond that. If fully motivated – and they should be – the Panthers enough size and skill to get to Tampa. They must stay out of foul trouble, which hampered them against Central. Boca Raton is long and lean, but not powerful enough to slow Dwyer. The Bobcats are crafty, and if they stay aggressive, they have a shot. Pick: Dwyer
Martin County (12-7A runner-up) at Port Charlotte (11-7A winner)
Martin County (18-4) can score in bunches, but the Tigers couldn't sustain enough momentum to overtake Sebastian River in a thrilling district final loss. Port Charlotte (15-5) has played some of the state's toughest teams and hasn't lost at home. Pick: Port Charlotte
Lake Worth (14-7A runner-up) at Santaluces (13-7A winner)
Lake Worth (9-15) lost both its games to Santaluces during the season, scoring 32 and 21 points. The Trojans should be encouraged by how they played in losses to Boynton Beach, Jupiter and West Boca Raton, but they don't match up well with Santaluces (21-4), which can shoot, defend and rebound. The Chiefs haven't lost since Dec. 21 (to Miami power Dr. Krop) and upended Park Vista and Boynton Beach down the stretch. Pick: Santaluces
Palm Beach Lakes (13-7 runner-up) at West Boca Raton (14-7A winner)
An immensely frustrating season for Lakes (12-10), which has lots of talent but can't put things together some nights. The Rams hung with Lincoln Park, Palm Beach Central and Dwyer, but lost those games. They also lost twice to Santaluces, which may not bode well for next round. The Bulls (18-9) would seem to have a home-court advantage, but they're just 5-4 at home (10-1 on the road, 3-4 neutral sites). They're also 3-3 in their last six. Pick: Palm Beach Lakes
Plantation-American Heritage (16-5A runner-up) at Boynton Beach (15-5A winner)
Boynton Beach (19-6) has plenty of talent and possibly the area's best backcourt (senior Taylor Shade and sophomore Shakoa Edwards). The Tigers love to run, but tend to wear down against bigger teams (see: losses to Santaluces, Dwyer and Palm Beach Central). They haven't lost at home (8-0), while Plantation-Heritage hasn't lost on the road (6-0). The Patriots (18-8) have some good wins (Palm Beach Lakes, Treasure Coast), some expected losses (0-3 against powerhouse Dillard, also lost to undefeated Archbishop McCarthy) and one surprising loss to Pompano Beach, which finished 4-14. Pick: Boynton Beach
Cardinal Newman (12-4A runner-up) at Ft. Myers-Dunbar (11-4A winner)
Newman (15-11) has beat the teams it should beat, lost to the teams it should lose to and played most teams tough. Dunbar (24-1) cracked the 80-point barrier three times – scoring 93 once – and beat Fort Myers-Gateway Charter 84-0 on Dec. 1. Pick: Dunbar
Ft. Myers-Bishop Verot (11-4A runner-up) at Lincoln Park (12-4A winner)
Aggressive Lincoln Park (22-2) can tear apart teams that don't take care of the ball. They did that against Cardinal Newman this season, winning their district final matchup by 40 points. Verot (16-10) put up a heck of a fight against Dunbar in their district final. It won't go away, but LPA is a legitimate state title contender. Pick: Lincoln Park
Pahokee (12-3A runner-up) at Naples-Community (11-3A winner)
Pahokee (13-7) was the three-seed in its district and upended King's Academy by one point to get to the title game. The Blue Devils played Palm Beach Central tough, losing by three points. Community (17-6) played Lakes and Santaluces well, but lost. The Seahawks romped through their district tournament, allowing 27 points over two games. Pick: Pahokee
Naples-St. John Neumann (11-3A runner-up) at Jupiter Christian (12-3A winner)
Jupiter Christian (15-4) lost to Calvary Christian, Pahokee and King's, and beat rival Benjamin twice. The Eagles are 4-0 at home. Hard to know what to make of Neumann (19-9), which cracked the 60-point barrier seven times but managed to score just 14 points in its district final loss. The Celtics haven't lost on the road (8-0) this season. Pick: Jupiter Christian
Ft. Lauderdale-Calvary Christian (14-3A runner-up) at Trinity Christian (13-3A winner)
Calvary (17-5) has wins over Jupiter Christian (2), Benjamin, King's Academy and St. Andrew's. It battled Miramar-Parkway to the end in a district final loss. Trinity Christian lost some star power from last year's state finalist, but have young talent that plays together nearly all year. The Warriors' last two games have been quality wins over American Heritage and Fort Lauderdale-Pine Crest, which beat the Warriors a month ago. Pick: Trinity Christian
American Heritage (13-3A runner-up) at Miramar-Parkway (14-3A winner)
Heritage (13-8) has come along nicely after losing its coach, and several players to graduation and transfer. The Stallions are hungry for a win after losing three of their last four, twice to Trinity Christian. Parkway (21-3) beat Palm Beach Central, one of the area's best teams, and has lost only to powerful West Orange, Chicago's Marshall High and Plantation-American Heritage. Pick: Parkway
Lake Worth Christian (12-2A runner-up) at Pine School (11-2A winner)
Lake Worth Christian (13-13) won six in a row before a humbling 69-12 loss to Grandview Prep in their district final. The Defenders beat Pine (16-9) to start its six-game winning streak, but Pine beat Lake Worth Christian by one point in the teams' Nov. 14 season opener. Pick: Lake Worth Christian
Vero Beach-Master's Academy (11-2A runner-up) at Grandview Prep (12-2A winner)
Grandview (20-4) beat strong teams like West Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Miami-Gulliver Prep and Weston-Sagemont and hung around with Dwyer. The Pride has far too much firepower for Master's, which went 3-10. Pick: Grandview

Tri-State roads remain busy Wednesday as thousands make their way to visit family for the Thanksgiving holiday.
This year the AAA is predicting more people to take to the roads and fewer travelers are taking to the skies to get to their turkey destinations. The company says this is the fourth year in a row Thanksgiving travel has been on the rise since it took a dive back in 2008.
In Ohio, 1.7 million drivers are expected to hit the road for the holiday.
"[It was] not bad until we came to Cincinnati and then everything sort of came to a screeching halt," Lisa Hawker of Toledo told FOX19.
More than half way to their Frankfort destination, the Hawker family made a snack pit-stop in Northern Kentucky to celebrate getting through the Brent Spence backup.
In addition to the traffic, families like the Hawkers will also be facing high gas prices again this year. Drivers across the country are paying roughly $2.15 more a gallon for gas this year than they were ten years ago according to AAA.
In the Tri-State, Ohioans paid an average of $3.52 a gallon Wednesday, Indiana drivers shelled out $3.49 and Kentuckians spent the least per gallon on average at $3.37.
"You end up filling up where you have to when the car runs out for sure but it's nice when you're there to find one that's a little bit of a deal," Lisa's husband told FOX19.
The Hawkers were hopeful that despite gas and traffic counts going up, drivers will remain thankful for the holiday and keep tempers down.
"Everybody just needs to realize we're all in the same boat, trying to get to a destination and just be kind to each other," Lisa said.
As usual, Sunday is anticipated to be the second busiest travel day of the holiday as people return home from their Thanksgiving travels.

Alvin Gentry responds to Marcin Gortat interview
"I'm glad he did," Gentry said of Gortat's remarks. However, Gentry wasn't quick to defend the "Polish Machine," claiming that the Suns "try to throw him the ball and we will try to give him the ball as much as we possibly can."
In the interview, Gortat described being one-on-one with his back to the basket as one of his "strongest variants."
Gentry disagreed.
"We would love to be able to throw him the ball, have him post up and score for us, but that hadn't been one of his strengths really," Gentry said.
Instead, Gentry wants to continue to use Gortat in the same ways that made him successful last season.
"Screen and rolling to the basket, athletic enough that he can get defensive rebounds, running in the open court like he did last year," Gentry said. "Nothing's changed from last year."
Gortat is averaging 11 points per game and averaging 9.3 field goal attemps per game this season, both of which are fewer than last year's averages.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
