NYT: Victory for Obama Over Military Lobby
by QTG, Thu Oct 29, 2009 at 05:52:40 AM EDT
Star Wars? Quite the contrary, in fact.
Effective and sensible leadership? Yes We Can.
Our Democratic President, along with his Defense Secretary and formidable White House staff, have pulled off a major accomplishment and can claim victory over the Industrial Military Complex. The people who follow such things say this is surprising. I, on the other hand, think it's just plain awesome!
By CHRISTOPHER DREW
Published: October 28, 2009
When the Obama administration proposed canceling a host of expensive weapons systems last spring, some of the military industry's allies in Congress assumed, as they had in the past, that they would have the final say.
Congressional lapdogs and revolving door aspirants, many who are seasoned geezers used to getting their way (and subsequent big $$$ from lobbyists), had a bit of schooling, it would seem, from the new kids up the street...
Military analysts said Mr. Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration, also aimed at the most bloated programs. And Senator John McCain of Arizona, the former Republican presidential candidate, who has criticized the Pentagon's cost overruns, provided Mr. Obama with political cover to make the cuts without being seen as soft on the military.
"They probably get an `A' from the standpoint of their success on their major initiatives," said Fred Downey, a former Senate aide who is now vice president for national security at the Aerospace Industries Association. "They probably got all of them but one or maybe two, and that's an extraordinarily high score."
I'll give you minute for that to sink in.
Still, even White House officials say they were surprised at how far they got in reshaping the weapons programs.
"In terms of sort of bringing fiscal responsibility to Washington and changing the way the place works, you couldn't have picked a more challenging area than the defense budget," said Rob Nabors, the deputy director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget.
Good work, Mr. President. Keep it coming.

Beware the Ides of March, Caesar. Julius Caesar returns home victorious, securing both unparalleled power and popularity. Fearful for the Republic and driven by their own ambition, several senators conspire to assassinate the Roman dictator in the Capitol. However, their brash move plunges Rome into chaos and threatens the very democracy they swore to uphold.
In the shadow of the nearby Capitol building, Shakespeare's searing commentary on power, ambition, and democratic responsibility smolders just in time for midterm elections.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Prescott police say a 22-year--old man is hospitalized in stable condition after being shot in an alley while jogging.
Lt. Ken Morley says an unidentified person shot Michael Maddux in the abdomen in a residential neighborhood in northern Prescott early Friday morning.
Morley says Maddux wasn't able to provide many details and that police are trying to piece together what happened.
A handgun was found at the scene. Morley says the bullet went through Maddux and that police will use a metal detector to try to find it.
Police are advising Prescott residents to take precautions.
Morley says that means people note their surroundings and call police about anything suspicious.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Before embarking for France, whenever I attended a Rotary orientation or talked to past exchange students, I was always warned about how fast time will pass by. I was always a little unsure if I would feel that way when it was finally my time to go on exchange, but recently it has seemed that my time here has really flown by.
Only a few weeks after I arrived in France, I had my first inbound orientation in Paris. That weekend was the first time that I was able to meet all the other exchange students here in my district and begin making my own friends from all over the world. The new 15 or so exchange students like myself were greeted by two Australian girls and one Argentinian girl who had all arrived the past January. They all referred to us as the "Newbies," as they considered themselves the "Oldies."
While us newbies were completely lost in a world that was still so foreign to us, the oldies were there with experience and faced it with complete ease. We were all sat down at a table and our French Rotarians explained the rules and the goals of Rotary, in French of course. All of the newbies were completely lost in translation while the Australians and Argentinian understood every word. They translated the key messages for us and I remember being so jealous that they understood what I did not. I wanted to be in their position so badly. It was so hard not understanding and feeling lost all the time. While they all assured me that the day would come, I couldn't help but being a little doubtful.
Just this past weekend, however, I realized that time really had come. I spend this past weekend at another Rotary orientation where I was able to meet all of the new French students who will be leaving for exchange next year as well as an Australian boy and Argentinian girl who came when the others, the original oldies, left earlier on this month. The two new kids had arrived only a few days before, so I tried to be as open and friendly as possible because I know how hard the first week of exchange can be. In the course of welcoming them I learned that neither on of them spoke a word of French.
I watched them both as the French Rotarians tried to explain something to them or ask them a question. They both had that deer-in-headlights look of complete confusion, and I couldn't help but laugh when the French adults would ask them a question and the kids would respond with a smile and a slight nod of the head just like I had done only a few months before. It was then when I realized that I was no longer a newbie. Unlike those two new students, I understood what was going on. While they thought everything was still so foreign, I was the one now who was comfortable with the differences now. It seemed like just yesterday when I was in their shoes, not understanding a single word but now, I was the one who served as the translator when the Rotarians needed to spread a message or when something needed to be explained. I was now an oldie that all the newbies could look up to just like I did back in September.
The day that I thought would never come finally had and it was one of the best feelings I've had here in France and something I'll remember forever.

Travis Wood allowed one hit over six innings and the Chicago Cubs held off the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Thursday.
Wood struck out four and walked two as the Cubs won a season-opening series for the first time in four years. Wood also scored the game's first run, racing home on Starlin Castro's single in the third inning. Nate Schierholtz smacked a two-run homer in the ninth to give the Cubs some breathing room.
Chicago needed it after another shaky outing from Carlos Marmol. The closer picked up his first save of the season, but only after the Pirates drew within one.
Pittsburgh had the tying run on third with no outs, but Pedro Alvarez struck out and Neil Walker hit into a game-ending double play.

The plaintiffs claimed that the van was uncrashworthy in that the roof lacked adequate strength to withstand the forces of a foreseeable rollover. They also alleged that a company that had converted the van to a four-wheel-drive vehicle was liable because the modification raised the van's center of gravity. Lee v. Ford Motor Co.

2.95/5 rDev -15.2%
My first beer from Catawba Valley!
Pours out a bright yellow/orange with 3 fingers of off-white head.
The aroma is a mix of grassy/earthy hops and citrus notes along with a touch of caramel malt.
The taste is primarily the grassy hop notes along with orange and lemon peel, a slight white grape characteristic and a good amount of caramel and bready malt notes. Finishes very crisp and only slightly dry.
A light-medium body with a crisp mouthfeel. This is a pretty average IPA, but it's not bitter enough in my opinion and the hop notes are pretty subdued. Not a bad beer, but nothing great. Would love to try more from this brewery though.

Sampled at Barley's in Asheville...
Reviewed from notes...
Somewhat hazy golden color, 1-finger white head leading to good lacing all the way down. Smell was citrus dominated by grapefruit with a sweet strawlike malt presence. Light overall.
No citrus in the taste, mainly pine and resin hop flavors leading to a decent bitterness. Picked up some grassy harshness which didn't do well for the taste.
Mouthfeel was a bit thin. Heavily carbonated. The lighter flavor helps this to be a drinkable beer. Its a nice, light refreshing beer for this hot, humid summer day.

12 ounce can without freshness info being offered.
Pours clouded medium golden amber, under a large near white and lasting head. leaves nice thick webs of lacing.
Nose of pine, hop resin and a hint of ripe melon.
Tasty enough AIPA, with a respectable hop package, more resins and pine providing the bite.
Carbonation and mouthfeel are on point. I enjoyed several of these during a recent stay in NC. Nice everyday type of brew/IPA.

On tap and served in a pint glass in Black Mountain, NC.
Appearance: Lots of lace, not much head; Cloudy orange amber, visible yeast in this obviously unfiltered IPA
Aroma: rather mild and malty for style; tangy hops, baked bread
Flavor 4: somewhat mild hop start with a lasting and moderately bitter hop & grapefruit finish and aftertaste. Hops bring both citrus and piney components to the rather earthy flavor mix.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, slightly low but acceptable carbonation (this pushed the rating down from 4 t0 3.5).
Overall: a fairly typical Western NC IPA in that it is rather malty and somewhat earthy. This one has a more generous (too generous, some will think, no doubt) malt background.

Got this at Barley's in Asheville.
Pours a hazy copper color with a rocky one-finger off-white head. The head eventually dissipates into a patchy layer on top and a thick ring around the glass. Lacing is good.
Smells of light sweet malt with even lighter citrus aromas.
Tastes good. Sweet malt up front with a hint of citrus flavors. The bitterness is front and center in this beer, it hits midway through and lingers through the aftertaste. Crisp finish.
Mouthfeel is good. Good carbonation and good thickness make this a smooth beer.
Drinkability is good. There's not a whole lot of hop character, but I'm a fan of the bitterness. I could definitely have a few of these without getting tired of any flavors.
Overall I liked this beer a lot. It's not an amazing IPA, but it's very crisp and easy to drink. Worth a shot.

On tap at Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria (Asheville, NC) on 4/17/09. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a clear copper with a thin head of off-white foam. Retains with a thin creamy layer, that leaves a massive coating of sticky lacing back. The aroma is floral and spicy smelling, with a solid tangy backing of citrus and caramel malts.
The taste has a moderate hop bite to it, with bitterness, spices, and a splash of citrus lasting the whole way through. Solid balance to this as well, bringing a silky malt backbone of caramel and toasted malts to the table. The hops still nicely shine in this though, bringing the bitterness but not overdoing it. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with an overall easy flowing carbonation but there is a bit of a crisp prickle to the proceedings that nicely compliments the bitterness.
A solid IPA for sure, this seemed a bit unbalanced towards the hops side at first but then opened up nicely with some good balance the more I worked on it. The 5.2% feels right here as well, giving up enough taste but staying low enough to give this some decent drinkibility to.

Tried this IPA at my favorite hangout in Black Mountain, NC -- the Town Pump. Great to drink but does not have the best IPA qualities, a bit bland for the style. Little head or lacing and very little sting to the tongue. Great name but nothing to special with its taste. Would be interested in trying some others from this brewery.

Served from tap into a sampler shaker. Poured yellow-orange with a one finger bone white head that remained throughout. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, earthy, and bitter hops. The flavor was of sweet malt, citrus, earthy, slight citrus hop, and slight bitter hop. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a decent brew. All of the aspects on this one seemed to be very weak in intensity to me. I really wanted to be kicked in the face on this one (I mean, it is an IPA afterall), but it just didn't do it. Don't think I would try this again as I don't like weakness.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a cloudy dark golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of hops and pine. Taste is the same, hops, pine, a bit of mint, bitterness and somewhat unbalanced. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall this is a decent beer.

On tap at Barleys in Greenville.
Came out a nice pale amber, a bit cloudy with a thin white head, that faded to leave a nice lace down the side. Smell was of citrus, grapefruit and pineapple, with a hint of sweetness. The taste was straight hops at first, but as it warmed some balance came to it and had a bit of a ever so light sweet maltiness. Nicely carbonated and goes down smooth. This was a good IPA and my first brew from Catawba. I will definatly have to try some more!

Served on tap at Parkside in Morganton NC. Dark amber appearance with one finger head. Kind of a strange spicy smell. Not like other IPAs, but good. Taste was hoppy with hint of malt at the end. A little mild. Mouthfeel and Drinkability is where this beer excelled. Mouthfeel had great carbonation that made me want to savor it before swallowing. Drinkability is very smooth to the last drop. Makes you want another...and another. I've heard a rumor that Catawba Valley Brewing is going to move into the Morganton city limits and open a tap room. Man I hope that's true.

Served to me a hazy burned orange with a ring of head and spotty lacing. Smells a little malty with a bitter hoppiness. Taste is pretty simple with a little malt that doesn't hang with or balance the bitter hops. Medium in the mouth with light carbonation. Took a little time to get through it.

Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds were in Dubuque Friday afternoon presenting one area care facility with a prestigious award.
Stonehill Franciscan Services, a Catholic, not-for-profit care community, won the 2013 Governor's Award for Quality Care in Health Facilities.
Branstad cited Stonehill's brand-new wellness center.
"We want to be the healthiest state in the nation, and obviously they've made a real difference in the lives of older people here in Dubuque that can come and exercise here and improve their health and well-being," Branstad said. "It's just a wonderful, caring community."
Already this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services gave Stonehill Franciscan Services a five-star rating for staffing and quality measure, and the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism named Stonehill the 2013 Business of the Year.

It may sound like rain, but it's actually lentils inside a foil-lined tube. All it takes is recycled materials you have at home.
Join Diego's amazing rescues only on Nick Jr.
Lightly trace the end of the tube with a pencil onto the green paper. Draw a larger circle around the first one and repeat with another piece of paper. Use scissors to snip notches in the paper circles. These circles will be used to cover the ends of the tube.
Cover one end of the tube by applying glue to the notches of one of the circles, and then close them around the end of the tube, allowing them to overlap. Let dry. Do not cover the other end of tube.
While the glue is drying, kids can lightly squeeze a 9-inch wide and 22-inch-long piece of aluminum foil into a snake shape. Then, fold the snake in half and very, very loosely twist it into a fat rope.
Slip the aluminum foil rope inside the tube. Pour in the 1/4 cup of lentils or popcorn.
Cover the other end of the tube with the other paper circle and let the glue dry.
Cut a piece of green paper that is the same length as the tube and about 6 1/2 inches in width, so when rolled around the tube, it overlaps. Kids can use crayons or markers to create their own Diego designs on the paper before adding it to the tube. Parents can draw the leaves freehand for kids to cut out and glue on, or print Diego's Rain Forest Stickers (on sticker paper) to decorate the tube. Glue the paper around the tube and allow to dry.
To hear the "rain" fall, slowly tip the tube.

YAKIMA VALLEY, WA - Several controlled burns in the past week have gotten out of control in the Yakima Valley, threatening homes and destroying acres of land.
Firefighters say that while the fire season officially starts next week, the time is now to think about fire safety. Officials say it's time for people to be more cautious. They do not recommend starting a controlled burn if the winds are stronger than five miles-per-hour.
"People start getting out, they start burning, the weather is nice," Fire District 5 Chief Brian Vogel said. "They think we're just coming out of winter so the grass is still kind of greener. The reality is that it isn't. If it's dry enough to ignite, it's dry enough to take off and get pretty substantial in size if you can't control it."
Fire fighters recommend having a garden hose or fire extinguisher ready before you start burning. And they say having at least 30 feet of defensible space around your home can protect you from an out of control grass fire.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 406 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lindy Lovely Hotel & Great Location The Gunter is a lovely boutique hotel located 2 short blocks from the riverwalk, 4 to the Alamo, a trolley stop at the door, with restaurants, drug store, bagels and coffee shop nearby. What else could you want? Super helpful & friendly staff, stately charm and just the right amount of elegance with lovely rooms and comfy beds. I was MORE than pleased with our stay. We loved the old hotel switchboard on display in the lobby. I would recommend the Gunter to anyone. It was a perfect gem, glad we found it. December 6, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlphaPros Best Sales and Catering Staff Around Our association hosted a conference at the Sheraton Gunter and the staff treated us very well. They were very accommodating and provided the best atmosphere for the conference. And the food was absolutely amazing. May 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alsredo Cool hotel This is a great hotel. Comfortable beds and pillows. Location convenient. AC wasn't as cold as I would like. Only cool to 70 degrees. Otherwise great place and staff very friendly and helpful. July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Easyup2 Hotel is visually appealing yet comfortable. The hotel has a very attractive look to the inerior yet was comfortable and relaxing. The front desk staff was professional and very helpful. Our room met all of our expectations and more. July 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phil66 The staff was incredible!!! My husband and I were supposed to go to San Antonio together to a convention but due to a back surgery, he could not go. I went alone, stayed in the Sheraton Gunter and had a wonderful experience even though I did not have my husband there. The breakfasts were good and the evening repast. The last day my flight did not leave until 9 pm, therefore I was concerned about sightseeing then having to fly without showering. I was able to leave my bags at the hotel while I was out, and then I was able to use the pool shower and the pool so that I was refreshed for my flight!! I am soooo appreciative of that "extra" touch for me!! Thank you sooo much. July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by scubaguy Great place to stay One of the best Sheratons I have stayed at. The amenities are great and the location is close to the Riverwalk. Only negative was the hot tub was normally not hot enough. June 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sandy48 Nice stay We were in San Antonio as part of a cross country driving vacation. We were checked in by Patrick who was incredibly helpful. After we checked Patrick helped us with recommendations of things to do, places to go, directions and restaurant suggestions. He was right on with everything. The hotel and our room was very nice but our room was somewhat worn. The carpet needs to be replaced. The leather desk chair was torn in several places. The bath and shower was clean but also worn. The shower head is unusually low on the wall making it a bit difficult for an average sized person to shower. The service of the staff, however, made up for the room. April 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Patrick123 Older hotel needs updating This is an older hotel that needs updating. The carpets were dirty, the A/C didn't work well, the sink was backed up, etc. etc. April 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NoInsu Beautiful Hotel What a beautiful and historic hotel this was! Great location, walking distance from the "Riverwalk," and much more! September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by travelingTrees A Secret Heaven I want to keep for myself! A stay at San Antonio Sheraton was nothing short of divine. The warm, caring and delightfully friendly staff is the gateway to a fabulous, fresh, newly designed and renovated Sheraton. It was pure heaven to have the big city cultural attraction with a small city comfort. What a jewel, walking distance from tons of cultural attractions. Even with Fiesta going on, it was a very comfortable city to be exploring. Don't forget to try the Sheraton restaurant, food is fabulous. Location, Location, Location, fresh, crisp, lovely decor, this place is a winner!!! I will be looking at where to buy the lovely duvet and shower curtain. We will be back to the Sheraton San Antonio!!! April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gnick Great Location One of the best places to stay at. December 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by remydog Love this Hotel and Staff I really love staying here at the Gunter. I really have only great things to say about the hotel and staff. I just wish the bathroom sink had a little more counter space to set out my toiletries, but I still love this hoel and it has a great location June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WilliamSB Great Historic Hotel This hotel is centrally located downtown and only 1/2 block to the famous Riverwalk. December 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ronny2 This hotel is very comfortable Had a great stay. The staff was very nice and the room was very comfortable. This hotel is in a great location for leaving the car behind and taking a walk to the river or Alamo. Would stay there again. June 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Myrightfoot Ear Plugs are not the solution I'm sure you have lots of comments about some rooms being really loud. I give credit to the staff that checked me in but the noise from mechanical systems was very hard to deal with. We also experienced poor service at the bell hop stand and concierge. They seemed very difficult to deal with uninterested in helping guests. The food at the restaurant and coffee shop was great, along with conference food. The rooms are clean and well tended, but the toilet seat was about as old as the hotel and showed it. That too easy a fix not to mention. The location is great and with a few minor changes this should be a flagship location. Best Regards, October 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul52 SA Trip Perfect location. Great historic hotel. Very impressed May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Austonian Outstanding Historic Hotel Near Alamo This is currently my favorite hotel in Texas for a number of reasons—but primarily because of the superb job the Sheraton has done in honoring the history of this century-old building and retaining the old world charm. I was upgraded to the Governor's Suite, which I'll admit was very kind of the hotel, but the other rooms are equally as nice. The Governor's Suite was large and spacious. I especially liked the heavy wooden shutters that you could open in the mornings and close in the evenings. While sitting in the lobby, it felt like you were in the early 1900's…with all the hard wood, marble floors and antique chandeliers. The Alamo is only about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, and the River Walk is equally as close. I recommend to SPG Corporate to increase the category designation of this property from Category 2 to Category 3. My opinion is that room quality, guest amenities (including full Club Level lounge), and prime location in historic San Antonio far exceeded expectations for what customers are currently paying/night. Judging by the guest reviews, Hotel Gunter has one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the network, and, I'm giving the hotel 5 stars across all points of evaluation. Keep up the excellent work, Hotel Gunter! Highly recommend this property if you're considering staying in the San Antonio area. October 17, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jenn1975 Did not live up to my expectations When I made my reservations online I was under the impression that we would recieve breakfast included with our room rate. We could have choosen $166 a night with no breakfast or drinks or $188 a night. We choose the higher of the rates based on the free breakfast and free drinks in the afternoon/evening. We did not get either because the breakfast and drinks is only during the week mon-frid and we were staying here over the weekend. When I asked the front desk about this I was told we were paying more for an updated room which was not the case because we had someone else staying in the hotel for the lower rate and his room looked exactly the same. If this was not something that was offered during the weekend why would this option be offered on the website for a weekend reservation? When we get there we arrive about 2 am on saturday morning only for the lady at the counter to ask if we called to say we would be late, I said no and she said well let me see what we can do. Like we might not have a room. Again I say why would I do that if we made reservations on line and the hotel had already taken out payment for the 2 night reservations. We did end up with a room thank goodness. So I am not pleased with the amount that we spent versus what we thought we were getting. The friendliness of the customer service at the front desk was lacking a great deal. March 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Patrick36 Hotel could be excellent but . . . I stayed at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel while attending a professional conference in San Antonio. While the staff mostly helped in meeting my needs as a guest, the rooms were in poor shape. I experienced the following issues: i) towels and sheets were torn/ripped upon check-in (hotel staff quickly rectified this issue); ii) tiles in the shower area were covered in mold/mildew, which was not cleaned after mentioning this to housekeeping and/or front desk staff; iii) room carpet was extremely dirty and stained. As a result of the guest room condition, I will not be using for any future stays in San Antonio or recommending that colleagues stay in this hotel. November 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Momike6 Great meeting The entire staff was extremely helpful and all my attendees had a great time. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keela Beautiful Metropolitan Hotel Gorgeous hotel in the heart of downtown San Antonio. It is old world with an art deco touch. The room was spacious (two queen size beds). The restaurant downstairs (Market On Houston) was phenomenal. I had the Napoli flatbread pizza. The hotel had a "South Beach" feel and just a block away from the Riverwalk. You will not be disappointed with your stay. June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kingdaddyjr Remarkable Staff I have to give 5 stars to the staff at your hotel. I have traveled on many occasions and stayed at a wide variety of Hotels. I have never been treated so well at any hotel by every member of the staff. And I am not the type of person that wants to be treated special and given upgrades, or extra amenities. Just treated friendly like a friend in town. From the very start the Concierge and parking staff greeted us with a very friendly attitude. The front Desk was very friendly and Very fast. She had my room key in my hand before I could find my credit card. I was at the hotel for the Labor management convention, and the staff that took care of us where wonderful, Very friendly, very good at their job. professional and they did not give me the impression they was there to cater to my every need but there to do their job and treat me as a guest. During the social, one of the waiter/bust persons even cracked a joke to me and my wife while sitting at a table sharing an adult beverage. I thought what a perfect time for him to leave his impression on us. It was not a business moment but a Social. And last but not least the person we came into contact with the most at the Gunter was our housekeeper. She was magnificent. She worked long hours, and every time we passed by her she was smiling and always had something positive to say. She was always around, I felt like we had our own security officer on our floor she was present so often and she noticed everything. She really seemed like she loved what she does. And maybe interacting with people is what she loves about her job. But she was a very pleasant person to interact with leaving or returning to the room. I really wish I could remember her name to leave her personal credit. The only negative things I have about the hotel is that my bill does not match my receipt. But it has not cleared my checking account yet. So I am waiting to see what they process on my card. The second is that the Hot tub was not hot. The only suggestion that I have for the hotel is that some of the hotels I have stayed at have adult hours for the pool and spa. close the pool at 9 or 10 to kids. and let the adults have time without all the kids around splashing and screaming. My wife and I like to just sit by the pool and drink our drinks in a adult surrounding. But hey the Gunter did have a wonderful bar. Loved it. The gym was very clean and well maintained. Thanks again for a wonderful stay and the friendly atmosphere. Hats off to your management team, They must have one very good recruiting process. The staff they have hired really left a good impression on my wife and I. Thank you Gunter Sheraton. June 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Francis2013 Noisy Hotel is in a nice location and looks good from the outside but is noisy and old. All the fans for heat/AC are located in the center court which increases the noise level. The windows are old and do not stop any noise. When I called to change room it took more than 30 minutes to get another key + I had to call back to find out what was happening. The new room was just a little bit quiter. I had to wear earplogs to sleep.Earplugs hurt my ears but I could not sleep without them. Hotel rooms look old. I was charged for a bottle of water after check out when it was labelled as free (I did not touch the other bottle with a price) January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rich66 Less than expected This hotel was a little disappointing because of its location. My expectation was it would be a little closer to the main portion of the riverwalk and the Alamo. June 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by nkwoking san antonio weekend Wonderful 4 day weekend; in town for family event. Great customer service; answered all questions quickly; helped secure needed wheelchair. Executive lounge staff; bar; restaurant; front desk and concierge/parking staff all were attentive; some calling us by name. Room was large; bed very comfortable. Would like to have seen higher quality towels; but that is the only suggestion to offer and admittingly not that significant. WIll return to SA and will not look for another hotel; location was excellent too February 8, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by ScottyXray Disapointing Arrived at the hotel late, Valet guy was on the ball and greeted me immediately, however had to wait at the front desk for 10 minutes to be helped. Front desk clerk did not even mention my Platinum status or even ask about points or welcome gift. Was given a room that appeared to be clean, with the exception of the carpeting and furnishings. Carpet had several stains and had been cleaned so many times that it was loose and had waves in it. Went to the restroom and stepped on the transition from carpet to the tile, and was stabbed in the foot by the tack strip on the carpet. I would never stay at this location again. September 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HollyB94 This hotel has good features, however.... Upon check-in I was informed by the desk attendant that your hotel had a heated outdoor pool and hot tub. When I checked the water temperature of the pool and hot tub after dropping my luggage off in my room the temperature was at 72 degrees! It was not warm enough for me to enter. I mentioned this at the front desk they told the appropriate hotel personnel. When I checked the water temperature 2 days later it had risen to 78 degrees. It was still not warm enough for me to enter. My suggestion would be for the desk personnel to not inform guests that the pool and hot tub are heated when they are lukewarm at best. November 12, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alan1911 Not the experience I expected. The Club Room & Lounge room was not even close to being worth the value; tiny and poor selections available. Room carpet was significantly water stained inside room, mirror cracked. The rest of the room was very well appointed, though. Street noise inexplicably loud all night for being over ten stories up; windows clearly need better insulation. Made it hard to sleep. The entraces, resturant and bar were all wonderful, as were the associated staffs. Had a very pleasent experience everywhere except for the room and the club lounge. Valet brought wrong car and had half hour wait for them to find the right one. September 9, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by DeAnn52 "Renovations" ruined this historial hotel This is the very worse we have ever seen in 'renovations'. The beautiful lobby shown on the website is no longer in existance. All of the beautiful wood has been painted stark white. The beautiful chandaliers have been covered. They have taken all of the beauty out of everything in the lobby. There was no respect given to the history of this property. We will not return again and will no longer recommend it as one of the most beautiful hotels in San Antonio. December 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jetsetter2014 Interior We have stayed at the Gunter in the past and really liked the stained woodwork. Painting all the woodwork white really changes the character of the hotel and in my opinion, not for the best. There were areas blocked off that were available before. It was a little disappointing. Maybe the hotel is still in remodel mode. June 3, 2014

Though Europe's 'big three' are a couple of weeks from getting underway, the European football season really gets started in earnest this weekend as the Eredivisie, among other leagues kicks off their season. Title holders Ajax Amsterdam have made some changes, but have kept the key parts of their squad together and will be looking to make another title run. FC Twente and PSV Eindhoven have lost more than they have gained in the transfer window, but both have squads strong enough to challenge Ajax.
Both Twente and Ajax will be expected to get three points from their fixtures in Week 1, while PSV face a serious challenge in AZ Alkmaar. AZ finished in fourth place last season and director of football Earnie Stewart has brought in his countryman Jozy Altidore, among others, to try to aid AZ's attack.
AZ Alkmaar vs. PSV Eindhoven
Sunday, 6:30 am ET
Watch: ESPN3.com in the United States
Luckily for Americans interested in the Eredivisie, ESPN3 usually makes a point of carrying at least one game per week. This week's selection is obvious, as AZ and PSV were the third and fourth placed teams in the league last year and figure to be in similar positions once again.
PSV are a team that have undergone some massive changes in their squad this offseason, partially due to their financial difficulties. Star winger Balázs Dzsudzsák was sold to up and coming Russian side Anzhi for a large sum of money, while Mexican international defender 'Maza' Fransisco Rodriguez moved on to Stuttgart. While Maza was not replaced, Georginio Wijnaldum was brought in from Feyenoord and should help replace some of Dzsudzsak's production.
AZ has undergone some serious upheaval, losing a number of star players. Forward Kolbeinn Sigþórsson has moved on to Ajax, defender Hector Moreno has moved to Espanyol and midfielder Stijn Schaars has gone to Sporting Lisbon. Only Altidore and Ruud Boymans, another striker, came into the team.
With Schaars' departure, someone has to step up to partner Rasmus Elm in the center for AZ, and their roster looks thin in that area. Ola Toivonen and Wijnaldum should be able to create time and space on the ball for themselves in the center of the pitch, and that should ultimately be the difference between the two sides on Sunday.
De Graafschap vs. Ajax
Sunday, 8:30 am
Maarten Steklenburg and Demy de Zeeuw are gone from, along with Luis Suarez and Urby Emmanuelson, who departed last winter. In are backup goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer and now former FC Twente ace Theo Janssen, who will step into de Zeeuw's place. Great players always leave Ajax and others step up to replace them, and in the cases of Steklenburg and de Zeeuw - though it seems harsh to say - they will not be missed for long.
Frank de Boer's new look side will be heavy favorites against De Graafschap, despite starting on the road. The Doetinchem team has yo-yoed back and forth between the first and second divisions in recent years and did well to avoid the relegation playoff places last season. Anything but a big win for Ajax will set off alarm bells in Amsterdam.

Excelsior vs. Feyenoord - Friday, 2:00 pm ET

There was a time when most homebuyers obtained their mortgage loans through their banks or credit unions. Today, however, there are a number of additional home-financing providers.
Which one is right for you? Let's take a look at the options.
A mortgage bank is a direct lender; that is, bank employees alone review your application and make the decision to lend you money. Typically, the bank will sell your loan on the secondary market.

A mortgage broker is a middleman who may represent the mortgage loan products of hundreds of different lenders. The broker's goal is to match you with the loan product that best meets your needs at the best price. Once your loan is approved, you will usually deal directly with the loan originator or their mortgage service provider.

N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory publicly announced his intention to sign the motorcycle abortion bill if the legislation reaches him in its current form. McCrorys statement comes after his 2012 campaign pledge that he would sign no measure further restricting abortion.
While the governor contends that the bill improves the safety of women at clinics, it is still unclear why he refuses to challenge the legislature on the bill.
Even though the bill itself is a document worth discussion, McCrorys comments raise a larger point. Far too frequently politics is considered solely a matter of power, interests and competition. We forget, then, that a central act of any polity is to offer its people participation in a process of remembering.
Memory, as a collective act, is a rigorous task that creates a communitys character. Memory disciplines the people into telling the truth about the past that has created the present.
Memory requires truth-telling. The bill does, in fact, add restrictions on abortions. Part II, for instance, limits abortion funding through health insurance exchanges. Part IV requires the presence of the prescribing physician when inducing drugs are administered. While one could certainly argue that these are valid requirements, they are restrictions. By signing the bill into law, McCrory will directly act counter to his previous comments. It should not be suggested, however, that the governor should never change his positions.
One of the greatest problems with positions of public stature is the unfair burden that beliefs remain static. But McCrory is compelled to explain.
Memory, for McCrory, would require telling the people of his campaign pledge and truthfully explaining why he thinks a promise reversal necessary. Is it because of pressure from his fellow Republicans in the General Assembly? Is it because of internal pressures by members of his administration? Is it because he really thinks there are important safety measures within the bill that are needed for the women of the state?
Memory demands public answers in such a truthful way that politics is realized that is, by answering the people, McCrory offers participation in the kind of collective rigor that creates community honesty and collective character. Such memory has the capacity to break down partisan divisions and build a new narrative for the state.
Public intellectual Stanley Hauerwas has written on truthfulness and memory. Hauerwas was my teacher, and we often disagreed. The kind of politics he advocates is often implausible for practice. But Hauerwas articulates an important point. Remembering is a moral task. Because it is a moral task, remembering is also very difficult. It requires a willingness to accept the fact that our common life depends very deeply on who tells the story, where the story is told and how the story is told.
In order to understand why McCrory would sign the controversial bill, we should ask those very important questions. Who is explaining the bill? How is it being described? The political future of North Carolina can look different from the present only in the kind of community made possible by a people who have learned to remember and then tell rightly the story that shaped our present.
Andrew Barnhill is a graduate student at Duke University and the eastern regional director of the Young Democrats of North Carolina.

Our hats go off to all the people in Long Beach including the students and faculty at Quarles Elementary who helped create a safer place to ride bikes and take a walk. Thanks to their vision Long Beach now has a Discovery Trail.
It's a 1.2 mile track that connects the city's recreation park and senior center. The trail is a great alternative to walking or biking on major roadways because it eliminates a lot of safety concerns like getting in the way of cars. The setting is also a lot quieter and more relaxing.
Trails like this and bike paths like the one along 605 are needed throughout South Mississippi. We've applauded cities like Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, Biloxi and Wiggins in recent months for similar efforts.
We encourage other cities to create safe biking and walking paths including the completion of the boardwalk throughout Harrison County. It is an investment that promises a huge return for residents, as well as being a tourist draw.
If you've ever been over to the Florida Panhandle and driven along Highway 30A, you've seen how popular the bike and walking path that connects all the little communities is. The path adds to the lure of those beach towns. Certainly South Mississippi could do the same. Long Beach shows us it certainly can be done.
That's our opinion, we would like to hear yours. Email your thoughts to email@example.com, or post your comments below.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The postcards just came and I couldn't be more happier! They shipped to Canada in under a week an the quality is fantastic! We will definitely ordering our invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"So I kept my save the dates with the yellow orchids, as I am having a wedding in Hawai'i and yellow is one of my three wedding colors. I wanted the pearlescent effect on the cards, and I felt it was definitely worth the extra cost. The invite is petite, simple, yet elegant. The paper quality is perfect! It is very smooth and sturdy - absolutely love it!"
"I loved my save the dates! Very easy to design the way you would like it. And once you send it in, they have someone look over it and if there's a way it could look better, they give you an option to see it that way before you pick your final design. The paper quality is great and the final product looks elegant. I will be referring this site to all my friends and will order the rest of my wedding stuff from them!"
"I used Wedding Paper Divas for the first time and I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family. I ordered Save the Dates for my wedding. The save the dates were gorgeous, the paper material was beautiful and everything looked fantastic. I had several questions and the live chat assistants were more than helpful. I am definitely ordering my wedding invitations through Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I chose the green font/design color for the front of the Save the Date and it matches perfectly to the event color scheme. Unfortunately, I wish there had been more font color choices for the back of the postcard, but I am happy with the results. Also, we needed a card that could be customized to say "engagement celebration" instead of "wedding" and this card worked best since no special request was needed to change the wording."

Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata today called difficulties on land acquisition and coal block auctions as challenges impeding the growth of the power sector in the country.
"The main fuel (for meeting the increasing energy needs) will be coal...there is a question on coal and land auction which will be the concern and has to be addressed later," Tata said at Tata Power's annual general meeting here.
The remarks come on the same day as the government tabling the CAG report on coal block auction, said the national exchequer lost up to Rs 1.86 lakh crore on parting with land, rather than auctioning it.
Tata Group companies Tata Steel and Tata Power have been named in the report as among the 25 companies which have got the blocks in various states.
Ratan Tata, who is scheduled to retire towards the end of the year after being at helm for over two decades, said the principle challenges for Tata Power emanate from land acquisition and environmental clearances.
Earlier, Tata said the increasing population and higher standards of living are expected to double the demand for power by 2030.
As we face the task, shortage of domestic coal and expensive gas are among the concerns which need to be sorted out, he said, stressing on the need for policy action to encourage gas-based power projects.
"Availability of energy at affordable rates will be an area of challenge," he said.

Train ND is looking for help and support to expand their resources and build a new northwest center.
Such a facility will provide opportunities to hold workforce training classes, educational classes, business meetings and other events.
"We are trying to build a new facility for workforce training. We provide training for over 10,000 people per year, and we've kind of grown out of the space on campus that we have. So, we would like additional space, but more importantly we have over two million dollars in donated equipment in our training field. We can see lots of advantages to be located near that training field" explained Deanette Piesik, the CEO of TrainND.
Train ND is looking to various companies, individuals, and foundations that they're already partnered with to contribute to the project.
"We are really looking at the people who use our training facility to help us get this new training area. We do hope that the companies will donate to the project" added Piesik.
They're looking to raise anther 1,500,000 dollars and time is of the essence.
"I guess our challenge is we have to raise this money in a short period of time. We've already made plans with our builder, so we know what it's going to cost. So we do have a timeline and we're trying to raise this money by the end of February. This is a big challenge for us. We have about six weeks to raise 1.5 million dollars" said Piesik.
The plans boast a 19,740 square foot training and education center, with state of the art technology along with large class and conference rooms.
Pledge forms, information, and any other questions can be directed to Deanette Piesik via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Gov. Bobby Jindal has declared a statewide public health emergency to let government workers enter private property to assess and remove nuisance debris from Hurricane Isaac that poses a health hazard.
His statement Monday notes that widespread flooding continues in some areas, the state has issued more than 200 water boil advisories and has lost more than 40 percent of the electrical power statewide for an extended period.
It also notes that every parish in the state issued an emergency declaration and many issued evacuation orders, and that health care may be disrupted for people who had to move out of their homes.

Rush – Hemispheres Reviews
Smart rockers Rush were just on the brink of being embraced by the album rock mainstream when they recorded Hemispheres. Already wildly popular with a certain corner of the intellectual crowd, thanks in part to drummer Neil Peart's Ayn Rand obsession, this CD marked a turning point for the Canadian trio. Hemispheres explores the political, social economic, and sci-fi themes prevalent on their early work, continuing the saga of "Cygnus" from A Farewell To Kings. Rush was fond of wri (more…)

Town Square
Farmers market
Original post made by Map on Jun 24, 2013
on Jun 24, 2013 at 8:09 pm
You know a great place to put the Farmers Market would be from the Veterans Hall to the start of Main Street (by Bernal). No sides roads would have to close - there would be a lot more room for the 300 waiting booths and those already established. Vehicles could enter Main Street by going via the library (Old Bernal Road). This would make so much more sense than squeezing into one little side street and basically blocking off half of main street.

or the High School....lot's of parking and room for vendors.
on Jun 25, 2013 at 8:23 am
I'm all for increasing the number of vendors, particularly the fruit and vegetables. It would also be nice if they had fresh meat as well - tired of the poor quality meat at places like Safeway and the absolutely mind-boggling prices at places like Gene's.

KKK Letter Protests Re-Naming of School Christened for First "Grand Wizard"
An "imperial kaltrop" of the Ku Klux Klan has sent a letter to members of Florida's Duval County School Board urging them not to change the name of a high school named after the group's first "grand wizard."
Board member Jason Fischer, who said he comes from a racially diverse family, called the letter "vile" and an "outrage."
"I almost burned the letter and washed my hands," he told the AFRO of his reaction.
The school board will soon consider whether to change the name of the Nathan B. Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Fischer—who has not taken a public stance on the issue itself—is hosting two town hall meetings, one Oct. 3 and the other on a date to be determined, to discuss the potential name change. The meeting was originally slated to focus only on the fiscal year 2014 budget, he said, but when a push to change the name made local and national headlines, he decided to bring the issue to the community.
"I want to hear from my constituents," Fischer said, because in the end, "it is definitely a community decision."
Jacksonville resident Omotoya Richmond is responsible for the Change.org petition to change the school's name, which has garnered more than 135,000 signatures.
In an earlier interview, Richmond told the AFRO he did not want his daughter—who is African-American—or any other child to attend a school that is named after someone with a legacy of hate. Forrest was a slave trader, a Confederate general infamous for the slaughter of Black Union soldiers, and the first "grand wizard" of the KKK, a White supremacy group.
In April 2007, the school board voted 5-2 to keep the school's name, but new members have joined the group and could change the outcome.
"It couldn't be more clear: Inaction from the board equates to siding with current members of the Ku Klux Klan," Richmond said in a statement this week.
"I'm grateful that Mr. Fischer is giving our community the chance to voice their support for changing the name of Nathan B. Forrest High School," he added. "Nearly one thousand signatures on my petition are from Jacksonville residents, and that includes alumni and parents of current students. And there are many more from throughout Duval County. This is a change Jacksonville wants to see and we're getting close to making that happen."
The Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which is based in Missouri, are against the change, however. In the letter, an individual identified as "Imperial Kaltrop, K Trio" urges the school board to "take a decisive stand to protect the name of the school" and thereby preserve a part of the nation's history.
The Klan leader also suggested that the allegations against Forrest and the group are based on political incorrectness and outright lies.
"It is true and no secret that Nathan Bedford Forrest was appointed first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and carried out his duties as the office demanded of him," the letter read in part. "What is never taught or reported on in the mainstream media is how or why there was a need for the Klan or 'Ku Klux' as it was originally called."
It continued, "Many say it was to deny the newly emancipated blacks of their rights, and I am sure that there were some men who embraced that concept, but the Klan was born primarily as a fraternity and quickly evolved into a group of vigilance to protect defenseless southerners from criminal activities perpetrated against them by Yankee carpetbaggers, scalawags, and many bestial Blacks and other criminal elements out for revenge or just taking part in criminal mischief."

LAS VEGAS -- An overnight shooting on the Las Vegas Strip was not a random act of violence, according to Metro Police. Instead, it was the result of an ongoing dispute.
Police responded to a parking garage near MGM Grand casino just after midnight where they found three people with gunshot wounds. Two men were critically injured and another suffered a minor injury.
Metro Police say the victims may have been involved in a verbal altercation with another group a short time before the shooting. Authorities believe the victims and suspects knew each other.
"At some point, one of the individuals produced a firearm, shots were fired," said spokesman Bill Cassell, Metro Police.
This is not the only recent shooting on the Las Vegas Strip. In December, a man walked into the Excalibur hotel and shot his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Kenny, multiple times.
He then turned the gun on himself in full view of casino patrons.
Katie Bush, a tourist, said situations like this are worrisome.
"Considering we're over at Harrah's and someone gets shot less than a mile away from you and you had no idea," she said.
Police say it's important to not downplay the seriousness a shooting in a public place such as the Strip.
"The importance of this is that we had an act of violence that occurred in a public place where other innocent parties, that are not related to the ongoing dispute that occurred, could have been affected by this," said Officer Laura Meltzer, Metro Police.
While there's no way to completely prevent this type of violence, law enforcement work as a team to protect those who frequent the Strip. That's comforting information for Helen and Michael Johnston who visit the city twice a year.
"Maybe we take a little bit for granted, but yeah I feel very safe. Never had an incident," said Michael Johnston.
Metro Police are asking for any information with information on the shooting, or who may have been in the area, to call them at 702-828-5634, or to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

There is a namespace field in the zeus script meta data (ie uniqueID, title NANESPACE, type, mode, template scripting engine... etc). Is there a way to access this value programatically in the script ?
Looking through the sample templates it seems these fields are never used, in particular where people want to parametrically set the namespace for generated code, everyone seems to be creating a second namespace field in the script's gui which is defaulted to a value unrelated to that set in the tab.
This seems a little confusing. Can anyone explain if/how these settings are used and in particular the namespace field?
