Improving physician health and performance is critical to successfully meet the challenges facing health systems that increasingly emphasize productivity. Assessing long-term efficacy and sustainability of programs aimed at enhancing physician and organizational well-being is imperative.
To determine whether data-guided interventions and a systematic improvement process to enhance physician work-life balance and organizational efficacy can improve physician and organizational well-being.
From 2000 to 2005, 22–32 physicians regularly completed 3 questionnaires coded for privacy. Results were anonymously reported to physicians and the organization. Data-guided interventions to enhance physician and organizational well-being were built on physician control over the work environment, order in the clinical setting, and clinical meaning.
Questionnaires included an ACP/ASIM survey on physician satisfaction, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Quality Work Competence (QWC) survey.
Emotional and work-related exhaustion decreased significantly over the study period (MBI, p = 0.002; QWC, p = 0.035). QWC measures of organizational health significantly improved initially and remained acceptable and stable during the rest of the study.
A data-guided program on physician well-being, using validated instruments and process improvement methods, enhanced physician and organizational well-being. Given the increases in physician burnout, organizations are encouraged to urgently create individual and systems approaches to lessen burnout risk.

Last day, hurray! Dry too so Anya & I got everything
done in good time – finally a day with no major dramas and finally Wily agreed
to let her stroke him so she was more optimistic about the days to come without
me to help.
Had a short lunch in order to do some last chance photography
and got some shots of the squirrel ...
Another very cold night - had to sleep in several layers and
hat and gloves again! Stupid squirrel monkeys had thrown away the blankets we gave
them and sat shivering om the branches.
Anya not well so a tough day especially as some didn't want
to leave their cages and had to work around them – doing the family on my own,
with all 4 wanting to jump on me was a challenge!
Still tired after yesterday and before ...
The useless sack of **** got moved to another team and Vito's day off, so just Anya and me to get things done - was a big rush but much easier and calmer all around – still had the usual marauding troupes of capuchins attacking in a 3 way pincer movement and a few sneaky agoutis and squirrel monkeys dropping in for a feed, but the wild coatis, who had come in a big group yesterday, thankfully didn't show and the **** eating tortoises ...
Rained hard again overnight but had slowed to drizzle by
manana which meant that even with slack alice and all the dramas, we got all
the **** shovelled before lunch. The dramas being Tejoncito escaping and Rossco
being taken to the vets. Managed to get a brief glimpse of Balu through the
foliage but was unfortunately "running" – this is what his keepers shout to one
another to maintain a safe distance – usually he is ...

She starts biting her bottom before an attack so you have a bit of warning, but twice she managed to sink her teeth into my thigh, I was wearing 2 pairs of trousers so only got bruised. Other problems included her getting stuck up a tree and finding a wasp's nest under her bed platform. I fell over lots. Before the project ...

Well-traveled wide receiver heads north of the border. Terry McCormick
Mike Williams, the former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2005, is on the comeback trail again.
Williams, who bounced from the Lions to the Raiders to the Titans, then out of football and to the Seahawks, has signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.
Williams, 29, was one of the faces of the Lions' ineptitude under Matt Millen's regime, as a high draft pick that didn't pan out. The former Southern Cal star finally found success in 2010 when he reunited with his old USC coach, Pete Carroll, in Seattle and caught 65 passes that year.
However, the following year, injuries plagued Williams and he had just 18 catches, and was released following the 2011 season.

For the first time, we are hearing straight from a son who conspired with his sister to kill their father.
Gilbert Hart was killed two years ago in Clarksville. Police say the alleged gunman was hired by his own children, Alex and Becca, then 17 and 18 years old, respectively.
Alex Hart recently pled guilty for his role in his father's murder, and his sister is awaiting trial along with the friend they hired to kill their dad.
And after initially telling police she thought their house had been robbed and her husband shot, Hart's widow, Rebecca Francis Hart, was recently indicted for murder also.
Gilbert Hart was a businessman, a civilian member, a mason and loved having fun on his motorcycle.
But what happened at home, inside the privacy of the family's Clarksville house, only the family will ever know.
Now, new details are emerging about another side of the man that only his family saw. Channel 4 obtained audio recordings from Alex Hart's trial.
"My dad Gib Hart was an alcoholic, abusive, cruel man who did terrible things to me, to my mom and sister. Mom told us to pray that God would handle it," Alex Hart's testimony states.
Through an attorney, Alex Hart's disturbing testimony was read aloud in court.
"Dad handcuffed me to the foot of his bed and did other things to me, including pointing a gun to me and making me beg for my life. He did other things to Becca and mom."
Alex said over time, the abuse kept getting worse and worse.
"I was told that if something didn't happen to Dad soon, Dad would kill mom."
So just after midnight on June 3, 2009, Alex and Becca picked up their friend, J.P. George, then 15 years old,and drove to the family's house on Allendale Drive where their dad was home alone.
"Dad was in the living room sitting in his chair. Dad told Becca to take the dogs out and he asked me where we had been."
Alex said his dad and sister started arguing, so he pulled a .38 caliber revolver out of his father's gun safe, loaded it and handed it to George.
"I was almost out of the house when I heard the shot. When I got outside, I saw Becca sitting on a flower box. I pulled myself up on a railing to see if J.P. really did it and saw my dad slumped over. We all quickly got in the car and drove off."
Alex said they paid J.P. $200 and threw the gun in a pond.
His mother originally told police she was worried, went to check on her husband and found him dead. But just a few days ago, a grand jury indicted her for soliciting her children to kill her husband.
In a hearing last month, Alex Hart told a judge he intended to plead guilty in the murder. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and as a special condition of his sentence, Alex Hart may have to testify against Becca, J.P. and possibly even his mother one day.
Becca Hart and J.P. George are scheduled to be in court Monday in Clarksville. A trial date could be set for them at that time.
Hart's mother is currently out of jail on bond. Channel 4 tried to contact her Friday but was unsuccessful.

A look back at 2012 in fashion fads
Leather and lace( Christopher Polk / Getty Images / December 24, 2012 )
Naughty and nice, leather and lace were both big trends, even better when worn together. We shopped for leather motorcycle jackets and pants, which were available everywhere from Proenza Schouler to Forever 21, and lacy T-shirts, sweat shirts, blouses and tops. It was all about mixing hard and soft. Pictured is Pink in leather.

I support the family
and want her son released.
But for us, RP supporters, mental clarity should not be blurred via mixing rational thinking and feelings. Feelings are not part of rational thinking - they are emotional evaluations sometimes based on experience, sometimes on mental defense mechanism.
Thus, the mother employs reason to defend free speech and constitution, then tells us that son's priorities are 1) Jesus; 2) Country. (But, wait! Her son did not defend our country. Our wars are not about defense or even winning.) Jesus, country, society wont be able to collect sacrifices since they are abstract. In reality, wise central planners and special interest groups will step in to collect instead.
Unless religious people understand their mental irrationality and contradiction, STABLE free society cannot be achieved. MAN should not sacrifice himself to anybody. Others should not expect a man sacrifice himself to others - neither to god, nor society, nor your neighbor.

Jay-Z and Linkin Park took home the Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at Wednesday night's awards for 'Numb/Encore'. "The reason – so the reason I put the award in this man's hands MTV came to Jay and they said who do you want to do an album with," Mike Shinoda explained. "And he said us. And if he didn't say us, we would not be standing up here right now. So thank you to Jay-Z and MTV, thank you Machine Shop, thank you to everybody that, um, threw their vote our way and to our fans. And one more thing, everybody in management and legal teams that made this record possibly because it was a nightmare. Thank you, guys."

ATLANTA – Rollins Inc., announced that the company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Orkin, has established a new international franchise in Shanghai, China. This franchise is Orkin's first in China.
"The commercial growth that China continues to experience both nationally and through the establishment of operations by numerous foreign companies provides us with a tremendous opportunity to introduce our integrated pest management procedures," said Tom Luczynski, Orkin vice president of international development and franchising. "We are pleased to bring Orkin's quality pest control services to China."
The franchise will concentrate on offering commercial pest control, especially in hotels, office buildings, food processing, restaurants, hospitals and apartments. Qi Hong, Xi Zhang, Yingying Chenand and Changyun Wen have formed a partnership and will open the franchise together. Orkin Shanghai will begin operations mid-2011.
Last month, Franchise General Managers Qi Hong and Du Chao traveled to Atlanta, Orkin's U.S. headquarters, for initial training at the company's award-winning training center.
"We are pleased to partner with Orkin and offer pest control solutions to customers in Shanghai," said Qi Hong. "Businesses will benefit from the professional and superior pest control services that Orkin provides to its customers."

Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed those age spots dotting your temples? Do you see crow's feet or a receding hairline or a cracking complexion? What about those hairs stiff as piano wire springing from your ears?
One of the ironies of life is when we're young we want to be older, and when we're older we want to be young. Is there ever a time when we're satisfied with ourselves in the here and now? Do our mirrors reflect age-worry or life's regrets?
Mortality's timeline
While aging is normal, trying to reshape mortality's timeline is not. Our response to aging varies widely. If the cosmetic industry is any indication, the search for the elusive fountain of youth is an expensive journey. Every year we spend billions trying to look anything but our age. Creams and lotions, salves and pills, gadgets and gizmos are testaments to one immutable fact: We're aging and we don't like it. And for those who dwell unnecessarily on past mistakes, our mirrors can be the unwelcome faces of regret staring us down each morning and evening.
What if we took a second look in the mirror? Keeping ourselves tidy and publicly presentable is one thing, but the obsession to be someone we're not is another matter. This is not to suggest that putting on makeup is an escape or that we shouldn't look our best, but the world's obsession with looks and fashion can mask the dignity in aging and stifle our connection to God in that process. A preacher counseled, "Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire: this is also vanity and vexation of the spirit" (Ecclesiastes 9:6).
Isn't it fascinating how the "sight of the eyes" is controlled by the desires of our heart? Moreover, the danger of pining for the past is that we regret the present. That, too, is a variation of vanity.
Hard for children
For our children, life is hard enough as they stumble toward maturity trying to find their way back to God. The last thing they need is the insane competition for public acceptance by worshiping the god of fashion. Just ask any parent whose child now wears a school uniform. Eliminating the fashion envy, and the expensive clawing to stand out like a sore thumb evaporates. Parents can set the example. Are we overly concerned about the outward adornments at the expense of our inner beauty?
Plastic surgery
Billions are spent on plastic surgery each year in the quest to look younger. Medical science can correct deformities that hinder self-esteem and function, but this is very different from the fashion industry's grotesque facade of hyper-beauty. Beauty is not born in the things we wear nor the preparations we apply. It truly comes from within.
Our obsession with the latest fat-reducing/muscle-building madness is ultimately fruitless without the corresponding self-control and self-love so vital to inner beauty.
In the natural process of aging, the poet provides guidance, "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. ... Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same" (Robert Browning, "Rabbi Ben Ezra," Dramatis Personae, 1864).
Paul H. Dunn once addressed the subject of growing older.
"To those in their golden years, age should only be hateful if it means the cessation of growth, the withering of dreams, the silencing of feelings. ... General Douglas MacArthur once observed, "Live with enthusiasm! Nobody grows old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul" (Paul H. Dunn, "Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother," Ensign, Nov. 1983, p. 25).
Heaven's gate
While mortality is a rocky road fraught with unknowns and detours, it is our proving ground for eternity. The Apostle Paul so poignantly noted, it is "appointed unto men once to die ... " (Hebrews 9:27).

US President Barack Obama faced a new political battle Monday after the top Republican in the House of Representatives rejected a two-month payroll tax cut extension already approved by the Senate.
The US Senate passed a two-month payroll tax holiday extension on Saturday, guaranteeing fresh partisan bickering in the 2012 election year after denying Obama the one-year extension for the tax cut and unemployment benefits he had initially sought.
The House was expected to vote on it Monday. But on Sunday, House Speaker John Boehner said that Republicans, who control the House, would oppose the bill.
He pressed for Congress to pursue talks over the payroll tax holiday to extend the measure for a full year, rather than pass a short-term extension.
"It's pretty clear that I, and our members, oppose the Senate bill," Boehner told NBC's "Meet the Press."
He said extending the tax cuts for just two months would mean lawmakers were "just kicking the can down the road."
"It's time to just stop, do our work, resolve the differences and extend this for one year," Boehner added.
The statement appeared to be an about-face for Boehner, who on Saturday called the bill a "good deal" and a "victory," according to White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said in a statement.
"If House Republicans refuse to pass this bipartisan bill to extend the payroll tax cut, there will be a significant tax increase on 160 million hardworking Americans in 13 days that would damage the economy and job growth," he said.
Boehner's reversal came after a number of rank-and-file Republicans objected to the measure in a Saturday conference call with him, indicating that it would face a difficult battle.
"I would say it has a very steep uphill fight in our conference. It's a joke," Representative Tom Graves of Georgia said about the legislation.
Obama has urged the full Congress to pass the two-month extension now in order to avoid a tax hike on January 1, and then work on a one-year deal.
"It's time House Republicans stop playing politics and get the job done for the American people," Pfeiffer said.
Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid emphasized that he had hammered out the two-month extension in talks with his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell. The measure was approved "with an overwhelming majority of Democratic and Republican votes," he said.
"I would hate to think that Speaker Boehner is refusing to act on this bipartisan compromise because he is afraid it will actually pass, but I cannot imagine any other reason why he would not bring it up for a vote," Reid said.
In the negotiations, "neither side got everything they wanted, but we forged a middle ground that passed the Senate by an overwhelming bipartisan majority."
The compromise tax measure passed by the Senate has further dented Obama's authority by forcing him to revisit a contentious pipeline plan he had already put on hold.
Obama had put off a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, which will carry oil from Canada's tar sands to the US Gulf Coast, until after the November 2012 elections, in which he is hoping to secure a second term.
The project pitted environmentalists against labor unions and business interests in his political base.
The Senate bill gives the president just 60 days to review the deal.
Obama's Democratic allies had initially hoped to fund the middle-class tax holiday by imposing a tax on the country's wealthiest Americans who earn more than $1 million a year.
But they met stiff opposition from Republicans and had to abandon the plan.

FSA to publish report into RBS near-collapse
Sunday 11 December 2011
The FSA will tomorrow publish its report into the near collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland and is expected to say the bank lost sight of "core fundamentals of capital, liquidity, asset quality and risk" for more than a year before it was rescued by the Government.
The City regulator is also expected to raise questions over incentive arrangements for City advisers whose fee arrangements are dependent on deals such as RBS's £49bn takeover of ABN Amro.

Quarterback got apology from airline Aaron Wilson
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith addressed an incident on a Virgin America flight where he was asked to leave the plane last month.
Smith reportedly argued with a flight attendant over wearing his headphones, Smith left the plane and spoke to a supervisor. No charges were filed and Smith received an apology nearly a week later.
Smith declined to specify what happened to Jets reporters and said he had no regrets.
"You're a quarterback in the NFL," Smith said when asked generally about being in the spotlight. "So that's enough. I understand what my job entails. I understand what comes with it. So it's not a big deal. I've just got to continue to do the things that got me here, which is be myself. I'm not a troublemaker. I'm not a bad person. I don't do things to get in trouble."
Smith said he spoke to coach Rex Ryan about the situation.
"He basically explained that he and I, in the position that we're in, head coach and quarterback, we're looked at differently," Smith said. "And I understand that. I knew that prior to his conversation. But it's always good to get some more light from him. He was understanding, so it was all good."
And Jets general manager John Idzik discussed Smith this week.
"No, not really concerns about his judgment," Idzik said. "We've talked a lot about when you're in the NFL, when you're a quarterback in the NFL, and when you're a quarterback for an NFL franchise in a big market such as New York, all eyes are on you 24/7. I think Geno is experiencing this first-hand.
"Obviously, I've kept in close contact with him. I think this is part of learning how to deal with those things. We've addressed them. He's addressed them. So no real concerns that way. It's just how to deal with your celebrity and the visibility that goes along with the position."
After a season where he threw 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, Smith expects the Jets to bring in competition for him next season.

Prague, Czech Republic to Vienna, Austria
We had a walking tour of Prague this morning followed by more Christmas markets. We then headed out of the Czech Republic and through the icy winter wonderland towards Austria. The drive was not too long today and we arrived in Vienna by 4pm. We went to a Viennese dinner and concert this evening, which was a nice way to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.
... when your start and destination are right next to each other - so I think there's some issue with Google Maps servers today. I figured out that if I manually input the starting position, rather than "my location" then it worked OK, so we finally made it into town. We wandered around aimlessly looking for a bakery for lunch and taking photos of random things. After an hour or so we settled for a cafe because we were both starving. The waitress approached and said ...
... br> First monument we visited was the very famous and historic bridge that crosses ...
One month down
... I had to grab a roasted pig sandwich and a beer and join in on the festivities. It was a good day! When I arrived in Munich I did a free walking tour that shows you the historical parts of the city like the Church of Our Lady where at 11am the clock does a 15min show with music and moving pieces. We saw the old and new town halls and the Hofbrauhaus and the royal residences. I then met up with the group that I was going to Oktoberfest with and we ended up going to have ...
Leaving Prague.
... a coffee in the dinning car, which was really strong. Greg felt sick and needed to stand up in between cars to get fresh air. I stayed in the compartment and sat on my own. Two women got on the train from a station along the way and sat in our compartment. I think you pay more if you want a numbered seat, but you sit anywhere if you want to take a chance on any seat. So a lady sat in Greg's seat. ...

"Noisy location"
Be ready for lots of people yelling upon exciting bats until 2 am, or for small children playing at 7 am in the mall. There is always pop music blasting and if you are there on the weekend there is live music.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Nice Hotel"
The hotel itself was very nice. Check in was fast and easy. Room was great and view was beautiful. We took a trip for a couple of days on the motorcycle in August - Sun through Tues. The problem with the hotel you are not within walking distance of town and amenities at the hotel are not that great in the summer. The gondola was closed, no place to […] really sit down and have breakfast. Dinner restaurants were plenty and happy hours were great. The hotel itself is a great place to stay and I imagine in the winter its the best place to stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great experience at The Village Lodge!"
My family and I visited the village Lodge in late July and just loved the hotel and surrounding Mammoth! We have two boys, ages 10 and 15, and they loved being able to mingle around the pool and hot tub, met some new friends and felt comfortable going off by themselves a bit. We liked the convenience of everything in the village, the room itself complete […] with kitchen, great king sized bed, TV's in each room (we were upgraded to a one bedroom from a studio, which was nice. I really appreciated the laundry room as we had done lots of hiking and biking and with boys, there was a lot of dirty laundry. Overall I would highly recommend this place. It was a highlight of out trip around Northern California! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall a really lovely place to stay. Love the atmosphere. Shuttles were convenient. Surround sound in room wasn't set up but that would have been a bonus. Would have preferred washer and dryer in room. Toilets ran continuously in neighboring room (could hear water running all night) and we had to shut ours off each time we used. Maybe the price would […] be more inline with what I expected if they didn't have to pay for so much water. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent Hotel and Staff"
We rented a 2 bedroom 2 ba hotel room. The place was clean and orderly. We chose this location based on the proximity to the shops in Mammoth. The hotel staff always greeted us on the way out and in. Very friendly and was extremely helpful in my case. My vehicle was hit in the parking lot and fortunately for me, the driver left a note. To avoid any […] disputes, I went to the front desk and asked if they could provide surveillance of the accident. Randy, apart of the hotel staff, was AWESOME. He went above and beyond. He was at the scene of the accident and when I met him at the front desk, he showed me the footage and even burned me a copy of the video! I was very pleased to say the least, and couldn't be more thankful. To top it off, I left some things behind at the hotel and gave them a call when I got home. The staff had it in their possession and shipped it out to me! GREAT!!!! GREAT SERVICE!!! Highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"great overall"
excellent staff and shuttle that takes you anywhere at anytimeGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very convenient location for family"
The location was very convenient with it being so close to the village. Gondola, shops and restaurants were steps away. My biggest compliant is the hotel staff that checked us in was very rude! The lady gave us completely wrong directions to our room. She even drew a map of how to get the room and it was completely wrong. After wandering around the […] hotel with 5 luggages and 3 kids for more than 20 minutes, we decided to go back to the lobby to ask for help. First of all the staff did not apologize for giving us wrong directions but they were not helpful again (different staff member) in leading us in the right direction. They made us feel like we were bothering them by asking. On a positive note, the room was a great room for our families. The only annoyance was the loud noise below during the late hours. The sofa bed definitely needed to be replaced since it had a pretty obvious downward slope but the kids weren't bothered by it. The room was well kept by housekeeping. My only compliant was the unfriendly staff but we would definitely stay there again for the convenient location and the rooms. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location"
We stayed here with my family because of the location to the Village shopping, restaurants and gondola. It snowed most of the time we were there so not having to drive was wonderful. The front desk staff moved our room when I told her that we didn't want to deal with noise from the bars late at night. Our room was clean when we got there and it was […] cleaned every day while we were there. The kids loved the fact that the hotel was close to everything (they are snowboarders) and their dad and I loved the fact that they weren't begging us to drive them around. We had a great trip and would definitely stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Located over a nightclub"
Our fourth floor toom was above a street level night club that pounded a bass from 10:30-1:30 each night of pir stay. The vibration was like a pile driver compounded with police activity and cdtreet noise outside the night club. Since there was no snow in town and very few ski runs open or skiers i do not know why we were placed in that wing of the […] building. Upon check put the manager told me that they usually put the band members in those rooms above the club which indicates to me they recognize this problem. The manager further told me i should have alerted them so they could move me which os true but we arrived on Friday might after an 7 hour drive at 9:30 pm. saturday morning we were up skiing first thing. it took me intil about nidnight way Saturday to figure out where the vibration was coming from. I did not expect the band to be playong until 1:30 AM on a Sunday night!! management felt ot was my fault entirely for not letting them know something they are aware of! I paid $1300 plus for a two room suite for a three night stay which included a "free" third night. Without the night club a g good value. With the nightclub experiance i feel burned. I wonder if the hotel saells these inferior rooms to hroups like Expedia and saves there better rooms for guests booking directly at a higher rate? Hotel staff courteous, room furniture a bit tired, well located for ski access and Village activities. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Location, Location, Location"
Village Lodge is the best place to stay in Mammoth. Walk out the door to equipment rentals, lift tickets, Gondola to the slopes, starbucks, quaint grocery store and restaurants. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the hotel provides a free airport and around the town shuttle, so there's no need for a rental car during your stay. The housekeeping […] was not great this time around and the phone in the main living area didn't work and was not fixed during our stay, despite notification, but these were little things. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"fantastic location, lovely condos"
the village lodge is normally very pricey, but at a decent rate it was an amazing stay. steps from the gondola, easy access to dining and buses, fun atmosphere. hands down the best place to stay if you can afford the price.Genuine Expedia guest review
I didn't like the sofa it would make us itch when we would sit down on it. But other than that it was a very good stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great room, nice location. Very friendly service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel with a great location"
Our stay at the Village Lodge was delightful. Our one bedroom suite was great and it fit us well. Loved the convenience of its location to the village at Mammoth Lakes. We went off season so a lot of the shops and restaurants were closed but we still enjoyed ourselves very much.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice resort in ski town."
The Village Lodge is a nice resort located in a ski lodge complex. It is a little hard to find, especially in a heavy rain storm at night. Staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Room was a one bedroom but layout was less than ideal. It was functional but felt cramped.If you are a skier, great place to stay since the lift is just a […] short distance in the same complex. We were there for Yosemite and the Mammoth Lakes area. Next time we'll stay on the west side of Yosemite since the drive to the valley from Mammoth Lakes is two hours of beautiful scenery but winding and difficult roads.

"Nice Get-away"
Nice hotel. Would stay there again. Only negative is there is no restaurant at the hotel, so if you want breakfast you need to drive to get it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location. In the heart of the Village."
We use this as "The Place to get Away from it all."Genuine Expedia guest review
Great place, Difficult to findGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Average room accommodations"
Main TV in room kept turning itself off every few minutes. Fireplace in room did not work. Water pressure in shower barely coming out of shower head. I will not be staying there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location, close to amenities and shops"
We had such a relaxing time, soaking in the Jacuzzi and walking around The Village. We hope to return during the ski season, because the location is perfect for getting on the slopes.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Be careful of extra charges"
The hotel is newer and comfortable. The bed was a bit soft, but no big deal. This place is big on setting out items for use that will bring big extra charges if used. Luckily, we read the little signs carefully and avoided this pitfall. This may be a modern trend and perhaps I'm just getting old, but I found this practice very offensive.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to hiking trails"
location is everything, hiking trails nearbyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"They charge you with a surprise fee at check-in"
This is unacceptable. The price you pay here won't be the full price you pay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Spent a lot of money for an average room, the air conditioning didn't work , cheap bed with a pillow top on the mattress they called premium bedding. Bathroom was advertised with separate bath and shower, but just a cheap shower tub combo.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel"
The hotel is well maintained, the pool and the amenities are five star. The only draw back is the air conditioning, they only provide a stand unit in the living room only. Beside the noise, it is not enough for the whole suite.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"First leg of vacation"
This place is great!!!like a home away from home. Service was on point and room accommodation were nothing less than perfect.Genuine Expedia guest review
Great location in the village! The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. Having a full kitchen is definitely a plus. The only complain I have is that the internet speed is too slow.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The staff was so awesome!!! My boyfriend and I decided to stay an extra night and we had been staying in a one room condo and accidentally booked for the studio condo online. The staff was super nice and did not hassle us at all and just let us stay an extra night in our one room condo (with no extra charges) ! This really made my experience and saved […] us a lot of time and let us enjoy more outdoor activities! :) we will definitely be coming back to stay at the Village Lodge!

"Overnight on way to Yosemite"
During a 10 day drive through California in August, it was a stop between Santa Monica and Yosemite. It was our favorite hotel stop on our trip. Loved the spacious 2 room condo, having 2 TVs is perfect while traveling with a teenager. Loved the terrace. Great food and Starbucks within steps of our room. Beautiful setting!! I highly recommend!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great summertime resort."
Had a great time, facilities were wonderful. Desk staff very helpful in correcting a booking issue. Hope to be able to return again soonGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
Hotel located within easy walking to restaurants and shopping. Next to skiingGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice condo centrally located"
Overall we had a great experience. The condos are in good condition, centrally located and parking was free/easy. The fully stocked kitchen was great with all amenities including dishwasher and full size refrigerator. The housekeeping staff was excellent and even scrubbed some dirty pots and pans for us. We had a courtyard facing room which was noisy […] late at night with people coming out of restaurants and we were woken up every night between 1am-2am. We were there in August and the room was stuffy and warm. The room did not have A/C and the swamp cooler was noisy and insufficient to cool the room down. Also, the TVs were old - flat screens would have been nice. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
We had an amazing experience at the Village. The location cannot be beat! Everything was within walking distance, and if something is a little out of the way (Chart House, etc), the hotel offers a free shuttle. The hotel was gorgeous and clean and the hotel staff couldn't have been more accommodating, courteous, kind, and friendly. Overall, this was […] a fantastic vacation. Thank you! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful room, beautiful view"
Dissapointed with hotel staff...front desk wasnt very helpful and wasnt the friendliest. But housekeeping was very friendly and polite. So conveniently placed, in the heart of the Village. Close to all the stores and public trans. The room was gorgeous, very comfortable and fully furnished! Very impressed! View was incredible! Definitley will be staying […] again here next year! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Bike ridng in mammoth"
Went there to ride bikes in the bike park and had a great time. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and well appointed. Now in the summer you need A/C in Mammoth. Some places say you don't, they are not telling you the truth. They just dont want to install A/C. This place installed portable units in the rooms with permanent vents. All in all […] it worked well. Also, ask for a room over the pool or toward the street. The bars stay open and people can be loud and if you are overlooking the village, you will hear it. So a good trip and a nice place. I will go there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel, big rooms"
Big rooms with fireplace, godo location. A bit pricy, particularly taking into account that no breakfast is included. Not happy about resort chargeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel - be aware of concealed resort fee"
The hotel and facilities were top notch. We did, however, have two complaints. The primary issue is that we were assessed a resort fee of $20.00 plus tax upon checking out. I felt that the hotel was less than transparent about this fee. In fact, when we checked in, I was asked to present my credit card, which I assumed, as is almost invariably the case, […] was for the purpose of incidental charges. Nothing at all was said about the resort fee. While we fully understand the purpose of the resort fee and would have stayed at his hotel anyway (although in this case we were only passing through and did not use the wireless internet or any other feature included in the resort fee), we would have enjoyed our stay more had we not felt ambushed by the resort fee. In addition, we were not provided with washcloths, which we will assume was merely an anomaly. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Experience!!"
We stayed at the lodge for 2 days while sightseeing at Yosemite. We found the accomodations to be clean and the staff was most helpful. The kids took advantage of the dvd library. The location of the lodge is very convenient to the village.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Stayer twice on way to and from LakecTahoe"

If observe come to know the fact that many of the bloggers fail in blogging. Even though everyone knows obviously about blogging, still failure falls on their way, do you know the reason? I let you know the reason now, because of committing lot of mistakes in content writing. There is no exception even the most senior bloggers too commit the same thing. One of the primary mistake is as follows-usage of more keywords and search engine optimization tricks in order to get more traffic but doing that way actually original readers will be ignored.
Always keep in mind that only readers love and support are the essential things for the success of blogging. You have to reach the goal, getting traffic, through right manner. For this cultivate the habit of writing rythematically to the readers alone. Unlike some bloggers who uses some tricks to get traffic in search engine and don't write according to the robots. By this one may gain mortal traffic which stays for shorter time but not immortal traffic which lost for ever.
Even though there is important information related to niche in the content wrote for the sake of machine, readers simply ignore it because they can't understand fully. The result is day by day become rate of the blogs ascends. Everybody knows about the fact that Google and search engine gives the page rank and traffic based on bounce rate. So every blogger has to work hard to decrease bounce rate, readers should need to write the content according to the readers and should be understandable to all. At the beginning though don't obtain the traffic not worry slowly the readers become addict to your blog, so that conversation grows bigger in blog then traffic moves forward. Then automatically readers list too goes up. So can acquire long time search engine traffic.
Another fundamental thing is through the comments either from the readers or you, in blog page rank increases. When readers obsessed to the blog they comment on every blog you presented, so that can get better results. If you write as you write to robots, they ignore, at the same time no comments. So the result is losing total traffic.
There are many intelligent writers among them many are able to cheat search engine. Like that writers if they write for humans can create wonders, no doubt in that. Indeed it takes time. Writing with the intension of getting results sooner, if writes for robots, no use, everything is vain.

Do not buy this game!
I can't seem to find any advice to get past the forest. this reminds me of a similar problem with the disney princess game. it turns out it was simply a flaw in the programming that you'd never figure out without help. i'm completely unimpressed with these disney games. they've provided several mornings of frustration for both parent and child in our house. i wish we'd never bought this title as my daughter always wants to play it, but always gets frustrated. it's really ruined the whole game system for us.

Outsourcing jobs has been a topic that kept coming up over and over again during the battle for the US presidency this year. And for good reason. American companies have been moving their manufacturing jobs elsewhere for eons, ia fact that wasn't exactly helping the nation's economy recover from a bruising recession.
Apple, which has manufactured most of its products in Asia for years, is doing an about-face following its bruising over labor rights at its Foxconn manufacturing plant in China. Now CEO Tim Cook tells NBC's Brian Williams (in an interview that will air Thursday night) that Apple will manufacture an entire Mac line in the US starting next year.
"I don't think we have a responsibility to create a certain kind of job," Cook told Bloomberg Businessweek in its new cover story on his first year helming the brand. "But I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs." Cook estimates that the company has created more than 600,000 jobs in America since 1980 (WSJ.com does a nice job summarizing Apple's US manufacturing history.)
Perhaps this is a way for Cook and Apple to give a little back to America. The New York Times reports that Apple is planning to shell out $100 million for American manufacturing next year. It currently manufactures some parts of the iPhone in the US. It's also, of course, a way for Cook to carve his own brand and legacy apart from his predecessor and old boss, Steve Jobs.
"My own personal philosophy on giving is best stated in a [John F.] Kennedy quote, 'To whom much is given, much is expected,'" Cook told Businessweek. "I have always believed this. Always. I think that Apple and Apple's employees have done enormous good and can do even more."Continue reading...

President Obama lobbied a group of big business leaders in Washington this week with his views about the looming fiscal cliff. But at least one of the most important heads of a major American business, Ford CEO Alan Mulally, was taking no guff either from Obama or from the leaders of the Senate and House with whom the president is deadlocked — and apparently willing to push to the edge, if not over it, in a political stand-off.
"It's a concern to all of us, because this is a very, very fragile recovery," Mulally said on MSNBC this week. "It's just so important that we come together on a plan to deal with both the revenue side, but also the expense side, because really what we're talking about is keeping the economic development going. That's the most important thing about this issue."
And while so far the U.S. auto industry has more than carried its weight in the nation's sluggish economic recovery, Mulally said that he couldn't guarantee that it would be able to post continued sales increases if Obama and Congress don't deal quickly and decisively with the fiscal cliff.Continue reading...

Chalk this up as a "black"-letter day for Procter & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald, as the company beat analysts' forecasts with its quarterly profit and P&G stock rose to its highest level in four years. After several months of unrelenting pressure on McDonald over the company's less-than-stellar performance, no one would blame him for enjoying the rest of the afternoon.
McDonald has been battling slipping sales, market share and margins in many of P&G's brands with newly hatched plans to cut costs, renew product innovation, and narrow the focus onto key markets, products and countries. He's also being prodded by critics such as hedge-fund investor Bill Ackman, who's got a $1.8-billion stake in the company and wants changes fast, and the P&G executive retiree who wrote a 13-page letter of complaint that he sent recently to McDonald. And it didn't help that Warren Buffett this week commented that "the jury is out right now" on the company.
Yet in announcing per-share earnings of $1.06 for the fiscal first quarter that beat last year's $1.01 a share and analysts' expectations of a 96-cent quarter, P&G appeared to benefit from progress in all of McDonald's key areas of concern, including boosting productivity and widening gross margins.Continue reading...

It took years of work and sacrifice to win seven straight Tours de France, but it only took a minute for all seven to be taken off the record of the now-disgraced Lance Armstrong.
The announcement finally came Monday morning that cycling's governing body, the International Cycling Union (which couldn't catch Armstrong red-handed through 218 tests) was erasing the famed rider's slate since there was plenty of evidence that Armstrong himself hadn't exactly been clean during his cycling days, and was banning him for life from competing in the sport.
The man who made the Nike anti-doping commercial above has denied it vehemently, of course, but his fellow riders have one by one decided to talk about what they saw him do and how they were, well, Strongarmed into cooperating, as the New York Times reported in a damning recap of their testimony.In the wake of the ICU decision, one of Armstrong's last remaining sponsors — Oakley — announced it's severing ties with the cyclist.Continue reading...

Can Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner break the sound barrier by falling from the edge of space? That is the question on everyone's mind as Baumgartner, backed by Red Bull, attempts to become the first human to break the sound barrier unaided by a vehicle.
In a huge leap (literally) for science and brand sponsorships, Red Bull is funding the historic attempt that will see Baumgartner jump out of a balloon above Roswell, New Mexico. He plans to the jump from a height of over 120,000 feet, and will be free-falling towards earth at an estimated 700mph, as soon as the high winds let him actually make the jump. Watch for updates on Twitter and live here. (Update: Today's mission was cancelled "due to strong winds" and has been rescheduled for Oct. 14.)
Like Baumgartner, the execs at Red Bull like to help folks break boundaries. Whether it is helping a few people rave into the wee hours, funding the creation of one of the most incredible Rube Goldberg-esque bits of tomfoolery ever, expanding its flavor menu or funding a daredevil's plunge nearly 23 miles to Earth, Red Bull seems game for, well, pretty much anything.Continue reading...

Americans purchased 636.5 billion cigarettes way back in 1981. A good chunk of them were likely sucked in by the slew of air-traffic controllers that President Reagan fired. Or maybe it was all the people coming out of the year's fifth most-popular film, "Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams." Or those taking a break after getting down to Kool & the Gang's "Celebration."
It's hard to know just where all those cigarettes were going, but that year found Americans purchasing more of the so-called cancer sticks than any other. Since then, of course, there has been a long battle to help people ditch tobacco products in the hopes of bringing down the numbers of death from cancer.
It appears that the anti-tobacco movement is working, just as the FDA is ready to ramp up a massive new five-year, anti-smoking campaign in the U.S. According to a new report from the Federal Trade Commission, cigarette purchases in America fell to an all-time low of 281.6 billion in 2010.Continue reading...
