A U.S. House subcommittee has approved a bill intended to prevent information stored in databases from being copied by rival companies and used to offer competing products.
The House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property voted Thursday to approve the Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act of 2003, over objections from Democrats that the bill would allow owners of databases to secure copyright-like protections on facts within databases, not just proprietary information.
Several other laws on the books, including contract and copyright laws, protect companies in almost all cases where information in databases is stolen, said Representative Rick Boucher, a Virginia Democrat. "This is the classic solution in search of a problem."
In late September, opponents of the legislation, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, raised some of the same objections. But Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican who is chairman of the subcommittee, repeated Wednesday the reasons backers want the bill, saying current copyright law has inadequate protections for databases.
"Databases require substantial investments of time, personnel and money," Smith said. "Information companies must dedicate resources to gathering and verifying factual material, presenting it in a user-friendly way, and keeping it current. In cyberspace, technological developments represent a threat as well as an opportunity for collections of information. Digitally copying factual material from a third party's collection, and using it to form a competing information product is cheaper and easier than ever."
Smith offered an amendment to the bill intended to exempt nonprofit universities and research institutions from liability. The bill allows companies who've had their databases stolen to sue in civil court, with penalties of up to two times the actual damages.
But compromises in the legislation, which members of the House have been attempting to pass for about eight years, have weakened the bill from providing copyright-like protections for databases to protecting only against misappropriations of databases, said Representative Howard Berman, a California Democrat. "It's a pale shadow of its former self," Berman said of this year's bill.
Boucher offered four other amendments to the bill, which were either voted down or withdrawn. One would have exempted libraries from penalties in the bill, but that amendment was rejected by the committee. A second Boucher amendment would have prevented database owners from using the bill to protect legal materials produced by federal courts or any legislative materials.
"These are documents prepared for the public at the public's expense," Boucher said.
That amendment also failed after Smith objected to it, and Boucher withdrew another amendment that would have exempted Internet service providers and other telecommunications companies from being sued because misappropriated information was transmitted over their networks. Republicans on the committee agreed to work with Boucher on that provision before the full House Judiciary Committee debated the bill.

Everyone's favorite rapper (ahem) got nailed by the jacks today in Arizona where his bus got pulled over off the freeway. Packing a .40 caliber pistol, 105 grams of white widow (3.75 oz's), a little more than a ounce of the puro, 41 grams of exctasy (Wayne, you rocking Molly?) and various drug paraphernalia, Wayne and two hommies were clincked up. Sounds like a party to me, Wayne holler if you need a driver! For more info click here.
Feeling the doll. Yo GHOST, when is your doll gonna make the video? That medallion is ill son.
My man, my mellow, Six Foot Eight Charlie Tate turns one year younger today. For those of you who don't know him, one half of King Kooba, one huge Colossus, Charlie Tate has been known to hold down the bass guitar playing with the Big Cheese Allstars, ever so smoothly work the chisel shaping custom furniture for my living room and has been known to make about a 100 beats a day coining the phrase 'beats department.' Seriously, i send this dude an accapella in the morning and by 1pm, he's in my office with a cd of 3 remixes all different styles. More impressive is his catalogue of releases, under two aliases check the King Kooba joints and the Colossus jawns as he began stalking the studio in 1995. From broken beat to hip hop and some straight up soul; the dude produces like a chameleon. So it's today that we honor Charlie's born day, representing Londontown and West Oakland alike, you deserve to CRUSH that hamburger, son!
Meet my man Tony. He has some interesting thoughts on the brazlian wax and politics. One of San Francisco's many characters hailing from "somewhere." And if you want to meet another SF scenester, this dude is more famous than Steve Jobs.

He arrives this weekend at SmartBar with some hot plates on the decks, straight from his new live album, Live In Tokyo. He talks about the city scene & sound, his new album, his tour, and what else is in the works.

For the first time in Hip-Hop history, a college fraternity is dedicating itself to the four elements of Hip-Hop, and in the process they are becoming the first Hip-Hop fraternity in existence. Eta Iota Rho, also known as HIP, was founded by Quinnton Parker, Justin Wolverton, and Keane Rowley, three young break-dancers who weren't quite excited about the current state of Hip-Hop. "We're not here with false intentions, this isn't a publicity stunt," Quinnton Parker, one of the founders of Eta Iota Rho told AllHipHop.com. "All the people involved generally want a change in the Hip-Hop community. They don't want this negative image that comes from the media. They just want everybody to know what Hip-Hop is about."

A locally owned business nestled within Meadowood Mall, Games Galore maintains a robust harvest of party games, jigsaw puzzles, card and board games. From family favorites, such as Apples to Apples and Uno, to classic challenges, such as Monopoly and Rubik's Cube, the shop keeps its shelves stocked for a wide spectrum of interests. It also is open seven days per week, and a helpful staff stands by to answer any questions.
As an offshoot of Sierra Trading Post, Derailed.com holds fast to the same business model as its parent company: bargaining with top brands to procure overstocks at heavily discounted prices. But like a youngest sibling taking up juggling cats, it strives to differentiate itself from its older counterparts. It stands out with a youthful vibe thanks to skate, surf, and SUP apparel and the staff's laid-back attitude. They'll happily answer questions and make recommendations on their throngs of camping gear, running shoes, collegiate attire, and bicycle accessories from brands including Hurely, Billabong, and Teva. Though their merchandise boasts an average discount of 48% off the retail value, shoppers can save even more—customers receive a $10 coupon when they sign up for emails, and clients of the Give & Go Referral program get a $20 egiftcard when the friend they referred uses their own $10 email coupon.
The artists, teachers, and librarians that staff Grassroots Books know firsthand not to judge a book by its cover. Alongside new, glossy hardbacks and crisp paperbacks, they stock gently used and new-but-slightly-shelf-worn reads at generous discounts. Any books without value are responsibly recycled for free, instead of stuffed into Harry Potter jackets as "secret sequels." Used CDs, DVDs, and video games also share shelf space with more than 3,000 kids books catered to pre-K through high school readers. More exciting yarns await youngsters during the independent bookstore's kid storytelling hours or school book fairs, while the 22nd of every month honors educators with a free book just for coming to the store. Grassroots Books even donates its leftovers to educators and nonprofits after its monthly warehouse sales, four-day extravaganzas where nearly 10,000 books and movies are available each for $0.99.
Reno eNVy started as an indie clothing line sold out of a tent down by a river, and the brand slowly but surely grew to represent the attitude and culture of the people of Nevada. The company's owners emblazon the silhouette of a trailer on almost every piece of their clothing line to symbolize the rugged grit of the people of Reno. Whether it's a shirt or a flat-brimmed ball cap, the company's wares embody Reno culture whose tees bear cheeky statements such as "I'm a 10" and "Battle Born." The line has expanded to include an offshoot named Tahoe eNVy, with iconic images such as majestic pine trees. Kids and babies can get in on the action with onesies, and local cupboards can finally get some Reno eNVy swag with shot glasses.
When a shopper inquires about one of the many sporting goods at Reno Mountain Sports, it's unlikely they'll be met with an unsure response. That's because the store—which is nearing its fifth decade in business—boasts staffers who spend their free time paddling kayaks through lakes and piloting snowboards down freshly powdered mountainsides. Patrons can use the team's expertise to invest in new equipment from brands such as K2 and Jackson, or commission tune-ups of weathered and yeti-chewed gear at the onsite repair shop. A slew of rentals also awaits shoppers, who can opt to spend the day skimming across the water's surface in a kayak or carving paths in the snow with alpine skis.
More than 35,000 supplies beckon to artists and crafters of all mediums at Nevada Fine Arts, where a knowledgeable staff has been pairing patrons with an immense inventory since 1969. Paints and clay neighbor canvases and drafting equipment on the store's shelves, and books, videos, and live demonstrations by local artists give step-by-step assistance to nascent artists desiring to hone their creative aptitude. In addition to proffering supplies and studious aids, the skillful staffers can also forge custom frames or refurbish busted airbrushes. To further nurture blossoming talent, Nevada Fine Arts donates tools to area arts organizations and schools, and even has its own onsite classroom replete with sinks, corkboard, and drop-in critiques from the ghost of Michelangelo.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – It was a wild scene outside a burning Sacramento apartment complex Thursday as a child was dropped from a window to escape the flames.
Fire crews attacked the blaze quickly in the 3700 block of Merrily Way and put a stop to it as fast as they could; but before sirens went screaming toward the apartment complex, trapped residents were screaming for help.
"I almost passed out going up to the top of the stairs," said Jaques King. I couldn't breathe."
He ran back down just as a young mother was about to drop her 9-year-old girl from a second story window.
"My skin was burning, like I could feel it. So we're trying to rush her down, but you can't rush somebody that's scared," said King.
"When she let her go, I had to catch her and she was crying," said another neighbor. "When she touched the ground, when I caught her, she touched the ground and she ran off."
The little girl was okay, but her mother was still trapped. So she had no choice but to jump.
"The woman then jumped herself out of the apartment, and she was transported to the hospital with some injuries," said Michelle Eidman, Sacramento Metro Fire spokesperson.
The mother of the 9-year-old girl broke her ankle as she fell, but her daughter wasn't hurt.
Neighbors weren't done; another man was trapped in his upstairs apartment.
"I ran through the gate with my ladder and I put it out there for him," neighbor Bob Correa said.
Correa took it all in stride.
"Well, that's what a neighbor should do, especially in a situation like this. When people are in danger, you gotta do something," he said.
That's exactly what they did on a night they'll never forget.
"It changed my life. I'm not gonna mess with fire ever," said King.
The Red Cross is helping the families find another place to live.

It's that time of year… final exams are here! Parents, teachers and students are feeling the pressure of finishing out the school year on a good note. To make matters worse, the Common Core Standards are an additional stress in our lives.
We all want our children and students to do well, but what does that really mean? Is success defined by a test score? Do final grades really determine the future success of an individual? Does it all end there? Or do we allow it to end there because of the meaning we attach to tests and grades?
Has our reliance on test scores for "achievement" taken us further away from what we really want for our kids? I would say yes!
Here are some tips to help put things into perspective so you and your kids can avoid stressful arguments and feel good about the end of the school year:
- Don't attach meaning to the outcome of your child's tests
Many parents and teachers project into a child's future that they will not do well in life or have a happy and successful career if their grades are not average or above average.
From my experience, as a former high school teacher, a student's well-being is negatively effected when parents and schools make too much of a deal about tests results. When a kid hears, "you have to be successful in school if you want to be successful in life," they feel inadequate if they aren't meeting expectations. This results in a poor self-image and a lack of confidence in their own abilities and intelligence. Remember this: A positive self-image is the number one ingredient for a successful life!
- Focus on your child's mental, physical and emotional health and well-being first
It's obvious that today's academic climate is damaging our kids mental, emotional and even physical health due to stress and anxiety. Rather than expecting positive feelings to come to you and your child based on his/her performance in school, accept wherever you child is at academically.
Remember that when you are coming from a place of non-judgment you are creating the space for them thrive on their own terms, which is what true success and confidence is all about.
- Work with your own energy first before approaching you child/student about his/her studies
If you are coming from a place of worry, frustration, anger or stress you are creating resistance. Nobody, especially teenagers, feels motivated or inspired to make positive changes when it's coming from a place negativity.
Before you talk to your child/student about studying and their grades, be sure that you are in a neutral place and release attachment to outcome. From this place, your child/student will be more inclined to be open to suggestions and support rather than fighting back.
And in working with energy, remember the Law of Reflection will always mirror back to you what's going on within yourself.
By balancing expectations, taking care of what's most important when it comes to your child or student's well-being and working with your energy, you will find yourself playing a bigger role in influencing your child or students success!

"The development of mutually advantageous and constructive relations with Israel in the political, economic, humanitarian and other fields was and will remain the priority of Russia's foreign policy." — President Vladimir Putin
Journalist Jered Feldschreiber wrote recently of the friendly relationship between Russia and Israel, despite the fact that Putin was selling arms to nations that were hostile toward The Jewish state.
In fact, Israel has maintained neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and was absent for the March 27, UN vote, that called on members not to recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Friday's Action Overdone Creates Opportunities for Sunday Night Trade
Written by Al Martin Monday, 11 November 2013 01:22
(11-10-13) We think the hit in the US Treasuries was
overdone in Friday's action. We were stopped IN (professional traders are
stopped in; it's only the Unwashed that are stopped out) at 132.17 off of our
132.19 stop. We covered on the close at 131.24. Our next orders down, to get
long the Bonds at 131.20, also hit. We are currently long the Bonds from that
level. We would expect the Bonds to drift up a half a point in Sunday-Monday

Subscribers Report as Much a $40 Profit in Our Short Dec. Gold Recommendation
Written by Al Martin Sunday, 03 November 2013 23:01
(11-3-13) We had warned of overvaluation in the Dec. Gold contract in our last week's missive. We were short sellers of the contract on our standing order at 1355, which we covered on the close Friday on our standing cover order at 1315 Good breaks in the Silver -- we had also warned of overvaluation in the Silver above 23.00. We were short the Silver from 22.85 midweek and were able to take a dollar out of the contract by the close Friday. We would expect that Gold is coming back down for a test of 1300 in the coming week's trade.

Bonds Join the Ranks of the Overbought
Written by Al Martin Monday, 28 October 2013 02:44
(10-27-13) We are now trading the Dec. Long Bond contract on the short side on rallies up to 135.12 or better, covering on ¼ - ½ point dips. We think the Bonds are overbought at current levels and should be shorted on rallies above 135.12
Relief Rally Now Over
Written by Al Martin Sunday, 20 October 2013 21:25
(10-20-13) We were trading the Dec. Long Bond contract from the long side, when our standing orders in early Thursday trade at 132.04, were hit. We were sellers on our standing orders at 134.04 in Friday's trade. We think the Bonds have gone as much as they can go in this near-term relief rally. We would now be looking to sell the Bonds on any further move higher in Sunday night's trade.
Equities Rally, Bonds Back Off in Anticipation that Peaches 'N' Cream Trucks Will Arrive Before the Deadline
Written by Al Martin Sunday, 13 October 2013 21:50
(10-13-13) We saw sharp spikes in the spoos in Thursday and Friday's trade, which we refused to trade on the long side. We are short the spoos again from the close at 1699.50 in Friday's session. If nothing concrete is done over this weekend, spoos will move lower on Monday.
Bonds – also under pressure Friday for the same reasoning. However Bonds too will rally in Monday's session if the Senate is unable to produce any concrete results.
The Dec. Dollar Index continues to hold the 80.00 level. We are now beginning to see rallies in the Euros turned back. We continue to short the Euros and did so in Thursday's session on our standing order at 1.3575 and were able to take 40 ticks out of the trade in Friday's session. We continue to look to short both the Euros and the Pounds on rallies.
Dec. Gold saw continuing liquidation in late week action
based on the concept that the Peaches 'n' Cream trucks were coming in Washington. We were
short the Gold off our 1299 stop in Friday's action. Gold broke the 1282 support
area and traded down to the 1265 area. We expect that if nothing concrete is
arrived at over the weekend that the Gold will rally back to test the 1292

The other great things is that the shipping is free, no taxes, and great return policy. If I meet anybody who wants these shoes I will definitely tell them to go to Footwear etc. "

Report from Day #1 of the Who Do You Think You Are? Live Scotland Expo
Today was the first day of a two day family history and heritage expo held in Glasgow, Scotland. I had the good fortune of being able to attend and must say that I enjoyed the event immensely.
Who Do You Think You Are? Live has been a very successful annual expo held in London for the past several years. Today's event in Glasgow marks the first time the event has been held outside of London and I was interested to see how the new event compares to the well-established events held in London. In short, today's first day of the Expo was about what I expected: significantly smaller than the past London events but with a crowd that was just as enthusiastic as the London crowds.
Arizona Woman Works to Identify Those Buried in a Navajo and Hopi Cemetery
Historical preservationist Gail Sadler was both heartbroken and appalled at the condition of a cemetery when she first laid eyes on it in 2008, soon after she had been appointed to the Winslow, Arizona, Historic Preservation Commission. She soon made it her mission to unearth the identities of the roughly 600 people buried there and help their descendants reconnect with their history.
Her mission quickly became an obsession. On nights after work and on weekends, Sadler would go online and scour death certificates – some 8,800 from 1932 to 1962 – looking for the Indian Cemetery as the final resting place.

Live Expo is scheduled to be held in Birmingham, England, in February. Details may be found at http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com/news/new-venue-2015.
Archive of pre-Holocaust Jewish Images in Eastern Europe Digitized
A vast archive of photographs of pre-Holocaust Eastern European Jewish life is being made available to the public and researchers. The International Center of Photography in New York and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., announced the joint creation of a digital database to facilitate access to photographer Roman Vishniac's archive.
Vishniac was a Russian-born Jew who moved to Berlin in 1920. He documented the rise of Nazi power and its effect on Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe. The International Center of Photography said it believes the project "represents a new model for digital archives" and it's excited to bring Vishniac's collection to a wider audience.
ISFHWE Announces the 2014 Winners of the "Excellence in Writing" Competition
The following announcement was written by the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors (ISFHWE):

Category 1 – Columns
1st Place – Shelley K. Bishop "The Legacy of Mary Comfort Eberhard"

3rd Place – Maureen K. Wlodarczyk "Precious Paper in the Digital World"
Honorable Mention – Shannon Combs-Bennett "Getting You Pointed in the Right Direction"

Category 2 – Articles
(+) Archival Quality Ink and Paper
The following is a Plus Edition article written by and copyright by Dick Eastman.
I often hear genealogists make states similar to this: "I don't trust digital media for long-term storage so I am going to use paper and ink to make sure my data lasts for a long, long time."
Indeed, there is a lot of truth to that sentiment. I can point out a few problems, such as storing audio or video recordings, but the idea of storing information on paper certainly has a lot of appeal to genealogists, historians, and others who are concerned with long-term preservation. Paper documents are simple, easy to produce, and last a long time. Or do they?
Price of Online Storage Drops Even More: Dropbox Slashes Its Dropbox Pro Price by 90%!
I was pleasantly surprised today to receive an email message from Dropbox announcing a major price DECREASE. I am a Dropbox Pro subscriber and have been paying $9.99 per month to store up to 100 gigabytes of data. Now, for that same price, any Dropbox Pro subscriber can store one terabyte. That's ten times the storage at no increase in price. I am surprised.
Franklin Parish, Louisiana, Library Opens New Center for Genealogy
The Franklin Parish Library welcomed patrons to the library's new Genealogy/Local History Room on Thursday, Aug. 21, when ribbon cutting ceremonies and an open house event were held. The library recently acquired what is known as the Landis building on Prairie Street. The site for the new center is located adjacent to the library's main building and was purchased from Betty M. McLemore, whose grandfather H.B. Landis ran a mercantile store from the site and served as mayor of the Town of Winnsboro.

Update: Create Your Own Who Do You Think You Are? Story with FindMyPast
A bit more than two weeks ago, I wrote about a new service entitled, Create Your Own Who Do You Think You Are? Story with FindMyPast.co.uk." Note the letters ".co.uk" on the end of the address. Near the end of the article, I wrote, "The historical information added by FindMyPast seems to feature mostly U.K. events. That isn't surprising as the service is being offered on FindMyPast's U.K. web site at FindMyPast.co.uk. If this new beta test becomes successful, I might guess it will later be offered in versions for the U.S. as well as for other countries."
It looks like my guess was correct. The service is now available with U.S. historical events included in the timelines. For an example of a family story using U.S. history and timelines, look at Josh Taylor's family story at http://goo.gl/jUze3o.
2015 FGS Conference Registration is Open
The following announcement was written by the Federation of Genealogical Societies:

This highly anticipated genealogy event puts the FGS and RootsTech conferences under one roof at the Salt Palace Convention Center (SPCC).
Is Genetic Genealogy the Next Facebook of Science?
Last Saturday morning at the first International Conference for Genetic Genealogy in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Genographic Project Director and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Spencer Wells delivered the Keynote to an audience of 300 genetic genealogists. He spoke about the popularity of the field and how fast consumer genetics has grown since the launch of The Genographic Project in 2005.
Could genetic genealogy become popular outside of the genealogy and medical communities? Perhaps. You can read a short article by Miguel Vilar about Saturday's presentations in the National Geographic web site at http://goo.gl/qrCHWP.
FindMyPast.co.uk Adds Leek's Workhouse Archive
The history of Leek Workhouse and who was born there has been digitally archived and is available to members of the public. Spanning 1538 to 1900, the parish records mark the start of a project to create the Staffordshire Collection on Findmypast – a source which on completion is set to comprise around six million fully searchable transcripts and scanned images of handwritten parish records.
You can read more in an article in the Leek Post and Times at http://goo.gl/412P8Y.
Dick Eastman Discusses How Tech Has Changed The Family History Industry
I recently had the pleasure of talking with Jessica Murray of Ancestry.com. She and I discussed a number of genealogy-related topics, including the availability of apps on your mobile and tablet devices, saving many hours by verifying research, the quality of software, and how blogging technology has revolutionized genealogy.
You can view a video of our conversation in the Ancestry.com Blog at http://goo.gl/IphbV6.
Recent Updates to the Calendar of Genealogy Events
The following pages have recently been updated in the Calendar of Genealogy Events:

All information in the Calendar of Events is contributed by YOU and by other genealogists. You can directly add information to the Calendar about your local genealogy event.
Genealogists Gathering This Week in San Antonio
Thousands of genealogists from across the country will be in San Antonio this week for the Federation of Genealogical Societies 2014 convention, "Gone to Texas." The conference gets underway Wednesday and continues through Saturday at the Convention Center.
Local hosts are the San Antonio Genealogical and Historical Society and the Texas State Genealogical Society.
For San Antonians, there is a special registration fee of $49 for one-day attendance on Saturday.
New Australian Passenger Lists Available on Findmypast
Findmypast has added Australian records: inbound passenger lists to Victoria, 1839-1923 (2,125,578 records) and outbound from Victoria 1852-1915 (1,753,919 records).
These inbound and outbound passenger lists will usually contain names, estimated birth years, nationalities, native places, month and year of arrival, ship name, destination port and departure port, so they contain a lot of information that can be instrumental in filling in blanks that you may have in your research.
You can read the details in the Findmypast Blog at http://goo.gl/eORKxR.
Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives Announces Changes to Membership and Associateship Criteria

All applicants wishing to join the association will now have to attend an interview and in most cases will also be asked to undergo practical tests. The new rules also attach greater importance to formal qualifications and ongoing learning.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 330 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Patricia14 Reservations Had an initial problem with this hotel changing our resv from using SPF points for room to charging room on SPG am ex. Had to call spg in order to get it done. Hotel gave us incorrect information. April 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ayeamme Poor Customer Service Responsiveness I reserved this room out of many available in the Nashville area because of the Sheraton reputation and an indoor whirlpool. After settling in to my room, I learned the whirlpool had been drained of water and was nonfunctional. I was offered a free appetizer for my trouble. That's it. I had already eaten dinner. Appetizer of no use. I asked for other considerations and was denied. They should inform guests at checkin of nonfunctional amenities. I won't stay here again. September 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MrsMoose2 Eco issues and A/C Fully support your eco/environment initiatives in not replacing linen each day; however, they should empty the wastebaskets as they are extremely small and do not hold that much and make the beds. The temperature of the a/c was cold enough that my husband along with other men expressed being extremely uncomfortable while in their conference. Change the temperature and you change how much you pay for electricity which can save the company as well as the customer money. August 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doug7373 Great location My wife and I stayed here 1 night because we were flying out of Nashville early the next morning. The hotel is less than 5 minutes from the airport and about 15 minutes from downtown. We arrived at 8:00 and check in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable and had a balcony. If we were going to spend more than 1 night in Nashville, I would probably choose a hotel closer to downtown but if you are catching an early flight, you cannot beat this location. August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhonda54 Beautiful inside and out All staff was excellent. My husband was in hospital and I needed a relaxing place to stay and feel safe. April 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by HospitalityEducators Less than expected 1. The bed near the window was very uncomfortable 2. the shower leaked consistently 3. the tub did not hold water 4. the dining room chairs in Old Hickory are worn, scratched, sink in the middle and are uncomfortable. When I mentioned this, the staff shrugged 5. Van Drivers to and from airport were very cordial and desk staff was efficient 6. I joined the Starwood program this trip, yet did not have my statement delivered 7. It is annoying to have to pay for internet access as a "special Starwood Preferred Guest" 8. I had a great deal of difficulty making my reservation within a group - I had to make 5 phone calls. Each and every stay at a hotel contributes to one's opinion of the brand. If you look at my 8 comments above, one notes that 7 of them noted deficiencies. Great ad campaigns that do not match the experience lessen opinions of the brand of the whole. March 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Marjoriemaddness First Stay, Last Stay. This hotel was impressive as we walked through the expansive lobby. Then it bombed. From check in to check out, we found the reservations and management staff to be consistently curt and disorganized. For less than half the price, I've been to MANY hotels offering lots of amenities...free wi-fi...even a free cup of coffee in the mornings...along with a professional staff...who got my bill right without the 45 minute wait! November 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by kelgy87 Very comfortable and accomodating Hotel The staff was very accomodating and friendly. Any issue was fixed promptly. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Markja Great Hotel in a Fun Place Sheraton Music City is a terrific hotel when visiting Nashville. I believe that thing I liked the best was the incredibly comfortable bed. Man, I want on of those at home! My wife and I love Sheraton hotels and this one is no exception. I liked the location because it was somewhat remote from downtown and very convenient to the airport and Grand Ole Opry, Two staff members stood out as being above the excellent standard set by Sheraton. These folks were Sheila at the desk and Ben in the Club Suite. Sheila has a great knowledge of the Nashville area and and is very enthusiastic when it comes to helping guests. She went out of her way at least twice to help. Ben is a young man with a future. He has superb people skills and should be put into a customer facing role with greater responsibility. I could see him being a huge benefit to the organization in a sales position. August 8, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by lward23 Dissapointed The water source was cut off from midnight to 0600. Very inconvenient. I was not notified prior to arrival. April 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BuckLee12 First room assignment was horrible! The first room we were assigned to was horrible. They called it a "suite" but it looked like a large room half filled with old and worn out furniture - and worst of all the bed was on the floor!!! We requested to be moved and they relocated us to a "normal" room. Was very disappointed that they originally tried to stick us in a very subpar room, especially since other much nicer rooms were readily available. October 16, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by ACJ511 Review from ACJ Beautiful hotel; great staff; awesome room; meeting rooms exceptional; staff were wonderful and still professional; and this was my 2nd time here in the last 1 year or so. My room was not sound proofed enough for this type facility. Could hear giggles; sneezes; coughes; and tv next door. Anything in the hall to and from the door was like they were in my doorway. Really, great rfacility, just too loud October 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Flora Room is spacious and Facility Great Hard to find when it's dark. Ask if we could be upgraded to access the lounge, but rejected. Kinda disappointed. The room is very spacious, with a lovely balcony, but again disappointingly, it is facing the roof of a utility bldg. Not too to see. Even though we're using cash and point to redeem the nite, I think if the staff can give us a room with better view, that will make our stay more pleasant. August 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ML300 Good Hotel;Pet Policy Needs Improvement Enjoyed my stay at this Sheraton. A somewhat nice hotel and staff made efforts to meet my needs. The restaurant staff was pleasant and food in the restaurant was good. Parking in the hotel parking areas are free but can be challenging especially in inclement weather, it was raining each day during my stay and the parking found was a distant walk to enter the hotel through the main lobby entrance. THIS HOTEL ALLOWS PETS ON LEASES (LARGE AND SMALL PETS - DOGS) TO ENTER THROUGH THE MAIN LOBBY AMONG ALL OTHER GUESTS. I believe is an unhealthy, unsanitary, and inconsiderate pet policy especially to other guest who may have extreme allergies to pets; especially guests and children who are not comfortable with dogs (pets) in an open Lobby area in a hotel. I found this policy unusual, inconsiderate and not at all did I feel this was an overall Sheraton Policy as I was told by the front desk staff. July 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diane58 Wonderful stay This hotel is a must to stay in during your trip to Nashville. The staff were friendly and accommodating in meeting our needs. The rooms were extremely clean, large and the bed was most comfortable. Not only did we stay there during vacation, but my organazation held our annual conference at this hotel and everything went smoothly and the hotel met the needs of all our workshops and vendors. August 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellen47 Efficient Staff Hotel was clean and front desk along with rest of staff was very friendly. Upon check-in, Marcus informed me our room was ready yet but took my number. Didn't have too wait more than 30 minutes which we enjoyed in the veranda area. Will definitely recommend this place as well as stay here again when in Nashville. Thanks for helping make my husband's 50th birthday celebration memorable! September 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave21 SPG Recognition When checking in the clerk could not find my name or SPG number. I said I recieve an email from Sheraton monthly so I must be in the computer somewhere. She said well if you can find the number just call down and we will credit your account. I went to my room and looked through my old emails and found the number. Returned to the desk and the another clerk found me in the computer. August 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Toothbrush1 items taken from room I was attending a conference that concluded on Saturday. I took most of my luggage to my car before my first Saturday meeting. I left my toothbrush, etc. in the bathroom to be used before I checked out. When I returned to my room at around 10 am, my room had been cleaned, and personal items were gone. I still had the key in my pocket and had not checked out. Would like them back. November 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MJS1972 Thankful my check-out experience was NOT my check-in experience I was thoroughly impressed with check-in. The lady was extremely nice and professional. She was a perfect example of what an employee should be. HOWEVER, my check-out was horrible. The young man was rude, unprofessional, and did not know the difference between a credit and a debit. He was defensive, and someone I would never hire to work for me in my business. November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LDR2 Great Stay We stayed at the Sheraton Music City on 2 different occasions over the course of a week. Both stays were delightful - the staff was quite friendly, our rooms were clean and well maintained and the location was ideal for our travels. I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone traveling to Nashville and intend to stay there next time we are in the area. June 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ctheworld Very nice breakfast buffet. It's been years since staying at this property. I think it has improved tremendously. The service all around was great. The breakfast buffet was very nice withFresg fruits, lean meats, light croissant, and delicious grits. I think offering exchange daily room service for extra SPG points is a great idea for the guest and the environment. I will be back. June 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vickie330 Extremely pleased with the facility and staff. After traveling for 5 days and being a guest at several different hotels during the prior days, I was delighted when I drove up to the beautiful grounds at Sheraton Music City Hotel. The grandeur of this old buidling has been enhanced with vibrant lighting and openness to make you feel relaxed and pampered from the time you arrive until you depart. September 17, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Airdog72 Hotel was great all but the front desk When I arrived at the airport I contacted the hotel at the phone bank, upon calling the phone rang for about 1 minute before anyone picked up, when the man did he advised that the shuttle would be at the stop in two mins. I proceeded straight down and saw the shuttle pulling off, When I called back the man advised that he couldn't wait any longer. It took me less than 1:30 mins to get to the stop. Secondly After I had dinner I asked the man at the front desk what time breakfast was served in the restaurant (I being platinum had a free breakfast) the man advised that breakfast started at 6am and the shuttle left at 6:30 and I did not need to sign up for it. When I got down to checkout the next morning the lady advised that breakfast didn't start until 6:30 and the bell hop advised that I need to sign up for the shuttle.. All in all the Hotel was nice but some of the hotel staff needs to be retrained on how things work and when the restaurant opens. October 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnaJDC Wonderful experience I was attending the National Lung Cancer Partnership Advocacy Summit from 9/13/2012 through 9/116/2012. My experience staying at the Sheraton Music City Hotel was wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the facility. If I return to Nashville, I will definitely stay at this hotel. Keep up the great work! September 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ab1mww Could do better This hotel has a slightly jaded feeling. Whilst staff are friendly and helpful I was disappointed that the best advice I could get for hiring a car was to "take the shuttle bus to the airport and get one there". Food: breakfast buffet was well below standard. Bar, restaurant & room service menu were the same throughout the day! August 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by misspriss2 lForget the upgrade I had received an email concerning 2 upgrades for $10 and $20. I responded by email and agreeded to the $10 upgrade. According to the email a continental breakfast would be included, only to find the next morning there was none. I was told by the staff our upgrade was the view of the pool. We were not charged the upgrade. August 22, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by alang Excellent property This was my first stay at this property and it was an excellent experience. I took advantage of the lobby area to meet with business associates. Enjoyed both the breakfast and club floors. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I used the airport shuttle service which only took 10 minutes. Very convenient! August 27, 2012

Djugashvili (later Stalin) was a ruthless person, and a serious editor. The Soviet historian Mikhail Gefter has written about coming across a manuscript on the German statesman Otto von Bismarck edited by Stalin's own hand. The marked-up copy dated from 1940, when the Soviet Union was allied with Nazi Germany. Knowing that Stalin had been responsible for so much death and suffering, Gefter searched "for traces of those horrible things in the book." He found none. What he saw instead was "reasonable editing, pointing to quite a good taste and an understanding of history."[more inside]
New technology has changed scholarship. Whereas previous generations of experts have sought to reconcile the differences between quarto and Folio, current thinking highlights the difficult relationship between the various incarnations of Shakespeare's texts, something made easier by the availability of rare Shakespeare quartos in digital databases such as Early English Books Online. The scholar Eleanor Prosser thus detects "considerable evidence" for the elimination of metrical and stylistic "irregularities" in the Folio: short lines are lengthened to 10 syllables, verbs agreed with subjects, double negatives resolved. In addition, a range of unusual words are added to the text, words not used elsewhere by Shakespeare. Prosser concludes: "somewhere behind the Folio … lies a conscientious and exacting editor with literary pretensions", albeit one "more experienced in the transcription of literary than of theatrical works". But who was it?—Who edited Shakespeare? by Saul Frampton. [more inside]

I had this on tap at Thirsty Bear in San Francisco, CA. I was excited to try this - so very few beers rely on vanilla, so it's a nice and unique flavor to encounter. It was golden in color, bubbly and transparent. It was very sweet smelling, dominated by the vanilla. The taste started out yeasty, like a pilsner or kolsch up front, but then started to taste a lot like a cream soda. Interestingly delicious...

A very interesting beer. Infused with vanilla beans. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the result was a very smooth, aromatic ale with a crisp mouthfeel. The vanilla is very apparent and is very pleasant. Pours a clear golden colour, with a foamy white head. A hit with the ladies at my party.

Pours an unremarkable golden color, with a thin white head. Smell is dominated by artificial vanilla. Taste was also dominated by artificial vanilla. The beer was overly sweet, and tasted like a diet vanilla coke mixed with beer. I could see some people digging it, but this beer was not for me.

Didn't have more than half an hour here, so went for the coolest sounding one on the menu. Pours a clearish golden color with a nice white head. Smells, or course, like vanilla, kind of overpowering in that I can't really smell anything else. Taste is full of the vanilla, but better balanced than nose. Mouth is pretty average. This is a very interesting beer, well done, but wouldn't go for it often at all, and had to switch between this and the stout to finish it.

Part of the sampler platter. Reviewed 7/15/10.
P: Dark, golden amber. Light, off-white head that fizzles out.
A: Very sweet. Vanilla bean and root beer aromas.
T: Drinks like a cream soda, with a bit of grassy hops thrown in.
The hops try to dry this out, but there's just a little bit too much sweetness here.

Creamy natural vanilla smell from a rich bright, clear, orange pour with some nice lacing. Taste is refreshing, a definite vanilla, with a nice crisp finish. Lingering subtle vanilla and an organic grainy taste. Good overall and maybe my favorite Thirsty Bear beer.

Light gold color, vanilla nose. Light bodied Pilsner style ale, brewed with Vanilla beans. Strong flavor of vanilla and only slightly sweet. The vanilla flavor smoothes out the malt and hop balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A very interesting beer, very well done. The vanilla adds, not detracts, from this beer. I would not want to drink this beer every day, but its very nice.

On tap at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into a pint glass. Clear golden color with a frothy white head. Nice retention and lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is saccharine vanilla, kinda wafer-ish and artificial. It's not unpleasant but it's cloying. Flavor is an even pale malt base with sweet vanilla and toastiness. Much better balance than the aroma suggested. Pretty refreshing and extremely easy to drink. I don't think I'd get through 2 of these though just because it's too sweet. Very light and clean on the palate but with a nice sensation of creaminess from the vanilla.

On tap at the brewery.
Pours a murky golden tone, almost like a wheat beer. Light head that fizzes out pretty quickly.
Aromatics-when the beer was colder I could detect the vanilla but in the backgfround, as the beer warms the vanilla aroma becomes incresingly more dominant. Some bitterness in there, but smells very sweet and vanilla dominated.
On the first sip-this is not my cup of tea. Vanilla, sweet syrupy like and lower carbonation create an almost cream-soda beer. Not much in the area of complexity, overall one note and far two sweet for my liking. The use of a stronger yeast and less vanilla would create a much better beer in my opinion.
Im glad that this was only a sample size portion, as I would not like an entire glass of this beer

Th color is like a cheap whiskey. Darkish, not a lot of head retention.
The smell is very vanilla-ey, smells almost artificial.
Tastes like somebody made a shandy out of cream soda and Budweiser.
Very, very, very thin mouthfeel.
It's really sweet for me, but it's probably very drinkable for the right person.

Okay, so I know they what they were going for with this. Perhaps they got exactly what they wanted, and there is some demographic that wants to go to a brewpub and get this sweet vanilla light beer.
Too sweet for my liking, pours a light golden amber. no lace or head retention. very light beer, light body. just sweet vanilla taste. I don't really like it too much.

Clear golden colour with a small, shortlasted white head. No lacing.
Mild vanilla and malt on the nose. A touch too sweet.
Sweet malt flavour with plenty of vanilla. Very much a one note beer.
Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Fine.
A decent attempt at a novelty beer but it lacks depth and falls short of the mark.

On tap at Thirsty Bear on 7/13/09. Described as a "light ale infused with whole vanilla beans."
A - Amber/caramel-colored body with just the slightest bit of haze and a thin off-white ring with virtually no head or lacing.
S - Subtle nose overall with hints of sweet malt and an apparent vanilla presence. Otherwise, not much else.
T - Very sweet with a light caramely, syrupy malt character and a hefty dose of vanilla bean flavor. Hops are virtually undetected, save for a faint floral character in the backend.
M - Light bodied with a slight syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Sweet on the tastebuds.
D - Pretty nice light ale with an authentic vanilla flavor. True it is a rather one-dimensional brew, but it is an easy drinker and not overly sweet.

Trouble in Paradise: Airlines Face Tension From Oil and Unions
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Works (IAM), the largest union at US Airways, are making strike preparations. IAM has been negotiating with the management of the newly merged American Airlines Group (NYSE:AAL) over an issue of wage discrepancy between US Airways workers and American Airlines workers who do the same work. IAM is negotiating alongside the Transport Workers Union, IAM's counterpart at American Airlines.
IAM has reportedly been at the negotiating table for more than two years but has been unable to reach an agreement with American Airlines Group CEO Doug Parker. IAM spokesperson Joe Tiberi told The Street that "We're close, but the big sticking point is that US Airways wants our members to accept less than they have already given to American employees for the same work. We will never agree to that."
The airline, for its part, wants put both groups of workers on the same contract before they equalize the pay. As it stands, however, the discrepancy is pretty severe. Top-scale fleet service workers are paid an annual wage of $42,785 at US Airways, about 10 percent below what top-scale fleet service workers are paid at American Airlines. Moreover, there is no scheduled raise for US Airways workers, while American Airlines workers are due for a 2 percent raise in September.
The prolonged negotiations have strained relationships between Parker and the unions that represent many of his workers. Just last week, Parker criticized former management for its poor relationship with the company's labor force. Tiberi has called Parker a hypocrite, saying, "Doug Parker is talking about great labor relations when he has thousands of employees ready to go on strike."

Chan joined Hang Lung Group in 1972, becoming Chairman in 1991. He also serves as Chairman of Hang Lung Properties Limited, the Group's major publicly listed subsidiary. Mr Chan is Vice-President of The Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong, Co-Chair of the Asia Society and Chairman of its Hong Kong Center. He also acts as an advisor to the China Development Research Foundation
in Beijing.
Mr Chan sits on the governing or advisory bodies of several think-tanks and universities, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of Southern California, USA, where he received his MBA, and Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Ronnie Chan , chairman of Hang Lung Properties Ltd. , is betting $5.1 billion on China's consumers.
Hang Lung Properties Ltd. Chairman Ronnie Chan said some big developers in China are struggling to get funds and smaller ones may go out of business, spurring opportunities for financially stronger companies.
Land prices in China may drop further and it is still too early to buy land in the country, said Ronnie Chan, Chairman of Hang Lung Properties Ltd., the Hong Kong developer investing at least $8.5 billion in Chinese real estate.
Hang Lung Properties Ltd., the Hong Kong developer that's investing as much as HK$50 billion ($6.4 billion) building shopping malls in other parts of China, said it's "financially capable" of doubling that investment.
Jiao Jun, visiting Hong Kong from Shanghai with his wife Creasey Xia for the first time, is not feeling welcome.
Hang Lung Properties Ltd., a Hong Kong developer that builds shopping malls in China, is marketing a sale of dollar-denominated bonds as yields in Asia fall to the lowest in more than five months.
Hang Lung Properties Ltd., the Hong Kong developer of shopping malls in other parts of China, said half-year underlying profit rose 29 percent after reporting higher rents from its Shanghai properties. The stock surged.
Ronnie Chan , chairman of Hong Kong- based developer Hang Lung Properties Ltd. , said "humongous demand" from consumers and action by the central government reduce the chance that China's property market will collapse.

World wheat trade for 2012/13 increased
World wheat trade for the international year 2012/13 is estimated to reach 145.3 million tons, up 1.6 million, the second highest after a record of 153.8 million tons in 2011/12. As the end of the July-June world trade year approaches, the pace of sales and shipments motivates a number of adjustments.
Australian exports are boosted 1.5 million tons to 20.5 million, reflecting a higher pace of exports of Australian wheat to Asian countries, Egypt, and Iran. The pace of Australian exports is expected to slow down in late fall, with increased competition from the EU-27 and Black Sea countries. Australian local 2012/13 marketing year (October-September) wheat exports are expected to grow by 1.0 million tons, or 0.5 million less than for the July-June international year. July-June exports are up 0.5 million tons for the EU-27, where the pace of export licenses support an increase and near-record-high corn imports free wheat for export. Exports are also increased for Russia (up 0.4 million tons), and for Brazil and Canada (up 0.3 million tons each). Small upward export changes are made for Thailand and Taiwan based on pace.
Partly offsetting export increases are 2012/13 wheat export reductions for India, down 0.5 million tons to 8.0 million, and smaller reductions for Paraguay and Sri Lanka.
Increases in 2012/13 import estimates are made for Egypt, up 0.5 million tons, with the private sector providing additional wheat supplies. For each of the following countries─Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, South Africa, and Sudan─wheat imports are up 0.2 million tons. Smaller changes are made for several other countries.
The U.S. wheat export forecast for the 2012/13 July-June trade year is reduced 0.7 million tons to 27.3 million (down 15 million bushels to 1,010 million in the June-May marketing year). The slow pace of shipments in May supports this reduction.

'Brave': Celebuzz Follows the Pixar Filmmakers to Scotland (VIDEO)
15 years and thousands of DVDs since the format's introduction, filmmakers have offered fans virtually every possible angle from which to look at the making of a movie. But Disney and Pixar offered Celebuzz a unique opportunity not just to see, but directly experience exactly what the makers of Brave went through when they created their latest animated odyssey.
To commemorate the film's November 13, 2012 Blu-ray release, Senior Film Editor Todd Gilchrist joined a small group of reporters on November 3rd on a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he visited local sights, interviewed members of the filmmaking team including story supervisor Brian Larsen, and immersed himself in the same Scottish culture that inspired them on their creative journey.
As chronicled in the video above, Gilchrist flew from sunny Los Angeles to the overcast landscape of Edinburgh, where he went to not one but two bona fide castles that were each centuries old. Additionally, he engaged in a series of traditional Scottish activities including archery, falconry, folding (and wearing) a proper kilt, eating haggis (surprisingly delicious), scotch tasting (unsurprisingly delicious) and, of course, bagpipe playing.
Watch Celebuzz' report on Gilchrist's trip to Scotland for Brave. Additionally, watch an interview with Brave producer Katherine Sarafian and co-director Mark Andrews.
