The Hotel Grauer Bär is in the center of the city of Innsbruck, just a 2-minute walk from the historic Old Town.
Score from 1233 reviews Very good
Perfect location. Loved the indoor pool too. Would definitely stay there again.
Tea and Coffeemaking facilities very inadequate,swimming pool very small,massage facilities poor.
Located adjacent to old town so close to sights and restaurants, comfortable room, friendly staff, excellent wifi, and had included nice breakfast buffet.
The location is perfect-right in the middle of Innsbruck's Old City. It's easy to get around the city with the bus system and the tram. I don't think we saw one taxi when we were there-only there for one day. It's a very clean city. Hotel Innsbruck is a delight especially Sarah on the front desk. We call her "Miss Easy" because she made everything easy. The pool room is amazing. It has a sauna, showers, massage area, steam room.
The bus system was a little confusing but I'm sure it would be very easy to use if we were there for a few days.
Beds were comfortable, room was clean and quiet with a view of the river. The elevator for the car was fun.
Nothing comes to mind
Best location in town, staff extremely kind.
Pelow is not too good.
Everything about the hotel, the location, the view, the room, the staff and ofcourse the good breakfast
Big, cosy room. Very clean. Breakfast was great. Good bed. Quiet.
Uncomfortable beds, worst pillows I've ever encountered, old fashioned decor, no breakfast and fairly noisy.
Location Cleanliness Parking
Bed mattresses are separated- bad for a couple
We had a good room, reasonably spacious with view as requested. This was a more expensive room, so I would expect this but it was good to get what we paid for. We enjoyed the view, and he ability to open windows was very good. Also good to have cooling air-conditioning, even though it was not particularly hot, we used it at night. The location was very good and we were able to get to most places on foot. Even the train station was manageable even though it was a bit of a walk. We found the lifts efficient, and there was little delay getting to and from our room – which sometimes happens in large hotels
We had virtually no interaction with desk staff, as they were always somewhere else or behind a screen. When we did speak with them they were very pleasant, but there was no friendly hello coming in and out of the hotel as happens in other good hotels. Also, we stayed 8 nights and our sheets were not changed, although towels were. The hotel restaurant was booked out every night during our stay, and if we had been warned about this we could have accepted it (there were plenty of other places to eat) but I was attracted to the restaurant as a place to eat after a long day sightseeing - so to be told I had to eat somewhere else (even if nearby) was disappointing.
The location is excellent! Friendly staff and comfortable room. The panorama wellness area!
The breakfast is overpriced. A swimming pool would have been nice in the panorama wellness area.
Good location , plenty of places to eat nearby. Good underground car park. Nice choice of food for breakfast. Lovely size room and bathroom
Everything was good
Separate toilet from the bathroom
We liked the fact that the hotel is centrally located beside the old town, the river and close to everything. The staff were very helpful pointing out places of interest for us in our short stay. Secure parking is provided underneath the building.
There was nothing we didn't like
this was in a great location near the river. there was a festival going on right across the street, and the view of the mountains was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice hotel, clean and comfortable room.
Location, sauna, helpful staff
I loved the really friendly and helpful staff and the location of the hotel. This was my second stay at the hotel.
Everything perfect!
ecellent location excellent hotel facility this is a 5 star hotel in a name of 4 star
Location Fab Wellness small but nice Nice view from rooms
Rooms on small side Paying for water, tea & coffee
Really good location and easy to find from the motorway. Parking was easy to access. The rooms are sizeable and beds very comfortable, plus separate wc and bathroom which are well equipped. Breakfast was very "authentic" although plenty of variety.
Beware the tourist buses, we got held up checking out due to the foot traffic.
This hotel is less than a short block away from the main part of the old city, including tons of restaurants and the main historical attractions of the city. The hotel itself is nice, with a pool and sauna. We were very pleased with our stay.
Great Hotel in and outstanding location. Breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff were all very helpful. The room was very nice. The pool was great.

A pontoon bridge made out of little boats it looks like

A pontoon bridge made out of little boats it looks like
it's interesting that they didn't have both sides of the drawbridge firmly rooted to the bottom of the river, instead the one side is being held up by boats and held in place by a stone pier a bit up river.
I guess this would be smart if the enemies came or something.. Just hop in the boats and row the bridge away ^^
Interesting idea. Neat photos. if the water level went up the bridge would rise as well which would be odd.
maybe they could use some ballast in that case... or perhaps the water levels were pretty even... or maybe just knew that the bridge didn't work between 22-06 :)
It also allows you to pull the whole bridge out if it is at risk of ice damage during the winters, or heavy flooding damage in the spring. Not to mention, as someone else said, you can untie the whole bridge and pull it to your side while defending.

When it comes to youth-sports participation, parents host a variety of concerns, according to a new ESPN Sports Poll survey released Friday.
A New York high school football player died after collapsing on the field Wednesday, becoming the third reported death among high school football players within the past week.
Buzz Bissinger, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Friday Night Lights," penned a column for Time magazine Thursday condemning parents for allowing children to play football.
Douglas County (Georgia) High School football player Zyrees Oliver passed away Monday after collapsing at his home following a football practice the previous week.
In a new position statement, the National Athletic Trainers' Association call for student-athletes to go through a seven- to 14-day heat-acclimatization period during the preseason to reduce the risk of serious heat illnesses.
On Friday, USA Swimming CEO Chuck Wielgus offered a formal apology for not doing more to prevent sexual abuse by coaches.
The parents of a 16-year-old who died this past fall from football-related brain trauma have filed a notice of claim against his upstate New York school.
Two ESPN reporters released a report on Sunday raising concerns about a youth-football-safety program endorsed by the National Football League.
More than 50 athletic trainers and medical professionals say they've been pressured to clear concussed players before they were medically ready to return.
The Big Ten Conference will partner with USA Football to promote player safety among young student-athletes.

Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Version 2.1 of PowerTOP has been released with improvements for not only Intel hardware running Linux but ARM assets as well.
PowerTOP 2.1 isn't as big of a release as

PowerTOP 2.1 integrates Transifex project tranlsations, locationalization of the UI with nine different languages, support for CPU cores without P-states, Intel GPU statistics support, a PowerTOP man (manual) page, an option to specify a workload during run measurement, an option to suppress output to the terminal, more ARM support assets, and a synced Trace-event library from the kernel tree. PowerTOP 2.1 also has various bug-fixes and clean-ups.
The open-source PowerTOP 2.1 is available fro Intel's
01.org project page
Already being planned for Intel's PowerTOP 2.2 update is continuing to improve the user-interface and resolution scaling, support for emerging Intel Architectures (
Valley View
? Anything for
Knights Corner
?), and support for emerging Linux kernel development.

My heroes include Lady Gaga, Alexander McQueen, Marcia Tucker, Diana Vreeland, Dr. Sam Howell (my art history professor at FMU), Bill Cunningham, and many others. These people have helped to shape my ideas about style, art, and fashion; creating a mélange which draws upon every period, from antiquity to modern day pop culture. Here and now I will attempt to add my voice to all the others and in doing so I begin training my eye and mind to be more discerning and expressive on the subject of fashion as art and vice-versa art as fashion. Fashion is a way of living, therefore art is a way of life too.

Mardaani review: Rani Mukerji plays Liam Neeson!Faux feminism aside, Mardaani is mostly a middling action thriller, writes Sukanya Verma. 'Jis duniya mein maa-behne rishte nahi gaali hain, uss duniya se maryada ke rishte saare todungi,' screams an eye-catching tagline of Mardaani's poster. You'd think there's a point behind this relatable sentiment? But no, five minutes into the film and Rani Mukerji barges into a goon's house and hurls a no-holds-barred expletive at the concerned. Sometime later, she cusses at ... Rediff.com, 2 months ago

That it didn't cost that much.
Room really smelled and was pretty dirty and the towels were very hard. There was no coffee pot and I have never seen that before in a room rented. Parking was on big hill and not enough for the amount of people that stay there.Person that took my key when leaving didn't talk to me just rushed me out not even letting me in office. I have never soon that before ever. Normally I am okay with just about anything, but it really bothered when I was scared to leave and not being able to get parking when I returned. I had to get something to spray room with it was really really smelly. Not sure why the towels were so hard maybe not dried in dryer? If I guess had a trailer on car there wasn't enough room for everyone to park. It really wasn't a good place to be at. Finding out a murder happened there just last year was scary when I couldn't afford a new place was really scarey and frightening.

"Attract-and-kill" approach could help tackle Argentine ants
After being inadvertently introduced in the United States from South America, Argentine ants have successfully invaded urban, agricultural, and natural settings nationwide. In urban California, the Argentine ant is among the primary pest ants. For example, this particular species of ants makes up 85 percent of ants sampled by commercial pest control companies in just the Greater San Diego Area.
Entomologists at the University of California, Riverside have now developed a "pheromone-assisted technique" as an economically viable approach to maximize the efficacy of conventional sprays targeting the invasive Argentine ant.
They supplemented insecticide sprays with (Z)-9-hexadecenal, a pheromone compound attractive to ants, and were able to divert Argentine ants from their trails and nest entrances. Lured by the pheromone, the ants were eventually exposed to the insecticide residue, and killed.
Study results appeared Dec. 23, 2013, in the online fast track edition of the Journal of Economic Entomology.
"Our experiments with fipronil and bifenthrin sprays indicate that the overall kill of these insecticides on Argentine ant colonies is substantially improved — by 57 to 142 percent — by incorporating (Z)-9-hexadecenal in the sprays," said Dong-Hwan Choe, an assistant professor of entomology and the research project leader, whose lab focuses on urban entomology, insect behavior and chemical ecology.
According to Choe's research team, the current "attract-and-kill" approach, once it is successfully implemented in practical pest management programs, could potentially provide maximum control efficacy with reduced amount of insecticides applied in the environment.
"Given the amount of insecticides applied today to urban settings for Argentine ant control and the impact of these insecticides on urban waterways, it is critical to develop alternative integrated pest management strategies in order to decrease the overall amounts of insecticides applied and found in urban waterways, while still providing effective control of the target ant species," Choe said.
He explained that other studies have explored the possibility of using the synthetic pheromone (Z)-9-hexadecenal for Argentine management program. These studies, however, only explored the use of the pheromone to disrupt the foraging of Argentine ants.
"What makes our study unique is that we combine the insecticide sprays and low-dose pheromone to attract ants," Choe said. "Our ultimate goal is to minimize the impact of pest damages on urban life with, at the same time, no — or minimal — negative impact on the environment, non-target organisms, and human health."
According to Choe, from a practical standpoint, future development of the proper formulation of (Z)-9-hexadecenal would help improve its efficacy and usability.
"The physicochemical characteristics of the pheromone formulation are important factors in improving the persistence of its effect," he said. "Proper packaging also would be necessary because the pheromone's stability could be compromised if the pheromone is mixed with the insecticide formulation and held in long-term storage. Some of these questions could be addressed with assistance from industry collaborators."
The UCR Office of Technology Commercialization has filed a patent on the pheromone-assisted technique developed by the researchers.
Choe was accompanied in the research by UCR undergraduate students Kasumi Tsai and Carlos M. Lopez; and laboratory staff research associate Kathleen Campbell.
Study details:
The study used one milligram of synthetic (Z)-9-hexadecenal per 500 milliliters of spray preparation (0.002 milligrams per milliliter). Given that the typical amount of spray preparation applied in an average size house is about 1.9-3.8 liters (0.5-1 gallons), the total amount of pheromone required for treating a house would be less than 10 milligrams. Based on the current price of the synthetic pheromone (less than $40 for one gram), 10 milligrams of synthetic (Z)-9-hexadecenal would cost approximately $0.40. If the pheromone-assisted techniques are effective in reducing the amount of insecticide for achieving a satisfactory level of control, homeowners or commercial pest management companies could reduce both the amount of active ingredient applied in the environment and the insecticide cost.

Tolmunen, T., J.A. Laukkanen, J. Hintikka, S. Kurl, H. Viinamaki, R. Salonen, J. Kauhanen, George A. Kaplan, and J.T. Salonen. 2006. "Low maximal oxygen uptake is associated with elevated depressive symptoms in middle-aged men." European Journal of Epidemiology, 21(9): 701-706.
A low level of physical activity has been associated with depression, and increased physical activity has been found to have a positive effect on mood. However, the association between maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and mood has been poorly studied. In this study VO2max (ml/kg per min) was measured in a sample of 1,519 men aged 46-61 years during a cycle ergometer test by using respiratory gas exchange. Men with a history of psychiatric disorder or serious physical illness were excluded. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 18-item Human Population Laboratory Depression Scale (HPL). Those who scored 5 or more in the HPL were considered to have elevated depressive symptoms.
The participants were classified into quartiles according to the VO2max. Those in the lowest quartile had a more than 3-fold (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 1.65-7.09; p < 0.001) higher risk of having elevated depressive symptoms compared with those in the highest quartile, even after adjusting for several confounders (OR: 3.38; 95% CI: 1.60-7.14; p < 0.001).
In conclusion, low VO2max is associated with having elevated depressive symptoms in middle-aged men.

They elevate chicken, meatball or eggplant parm to "dizzying heights" at this NoLita adjunct of Torrisi, where "high-end heros" lead the "simple menu" of "Americanized Italian food at its best"; its diner-esque space is "tiny", so "come early" to avoid the "wait" and the "squish"; P.S. branches in Williamsburg, the UWS, Park Slope and Hudson Eats are in the works.
Following the footsteps of the Meatball Shop on nearby Allen Street, Parm specializes in hot Italian-American sandwiches. With its retro malt shop styling (vintage Coca-Cola ads, formica countertops, chrome stools topped with red leather) and beer taps in place of a soda fountain, this narrow restaurant is a sliver of trendy kitsch in fashionable SoHo. Parm's waitstaff, dressed in T-shirts and simple red aprons, take your order from a menu that is, predictably, focused on Parmesan sandwiches. They make them with meatballs, eggplant and, on Saturdays, veal. Though the most popular item is the classic chicken parm: a lightly breaded filet, fresh mozzarella and sweet, house-made marinara sauce on a semolina roll or hero. (Order the roll for a snack; a hero for a full meal.) There's also baked ziti with meat gravy and mozzarella balls wrapped in prosciutto, as well as veggie sides like roasted beets, spicy broccoli rabe and Brussels sprouts. Sugar-dusted zeppoles with hazelnut chocolate make for a sweet finale.

Without a doubt, Cape Dorset is the most famous Inuit art village in the Canadian north, and a place I had been wanting to visit for a long time.
Silver Explorer
sailed into its anchorage position, on the south-western tip of Baffin Island early this morning, and soon thereafter the expedition team was on its way ashore to Cape Dorset to meet the guides that would take our guests on a walking tour of the town this morning.
Once at the beach we were met by five guides that took us and our guests to various workshops and shops where we could admire the creative process of a very special form of art, plus it was a chance to support the local economy. We went to a printmakers workshop where local artists explained and elaborated on the techniques used to create their beautiful and colourful prints. We then went to a carving demonstration and to a community centre where we had a chance to meet various local artists and buy their products.
During the morning we also visited a couple of shops selling stunning stone carvings of bears, Inuit hunters, seals, walrus, musk oxen, reindeer, etc. The Inuit of Cape Dorset truly are masters of stone carving, and their art can be bought at very reasonable prices; given that we are buying directly from the artists. I saw many of our guests come back on board with many bags...happy after this morning's retail therapy.
After lunch our guests got together in the Theatre for a wonderful demonstration of traditional Inuit throat singing. I unfortunately was not able to assist as I was busy scouting the afternoon's destination, but I heard from colleagues that had heard throat singing in different places in the arctic, that this was the best show they had ever seen.
By 1:30 PM we started disembarking our guests to Mallikjuaq Territorial Park, right across the bay from Cape Dorset. Accompanied and guided by local guides, we offered three different hikes around the park. I joined the long hike group. We saw some archaeological remains from the Thule and Dorset people, several hundred year-old tent rings, fox traps, Inuksuit, kayak stands and stone houses. Guided by a great Inuit guide Niviatsit and his son Chucheni, it was a very interesting trip back into the archaeological past of this fascinating culture.
By 4 PM we were all back on board and
Silver Explorer
set sail towards tomorrow's destinations: Bencas and Walrus Islands. Just before dinner the expedition team hosted our daily Recap & Briefing, followed by a delicious dinner in The Restaurant. Cape Dorset fulfilled my expectations and I will go home happy with my dancing bear.

Federal Communications Commission Planned Move to the Portals II Building
GGD-98-65R: Published: Feb 27, 1998. Publicly Released: Feb 27, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4232
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on whether the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) move into the Portals building would be in the best financial interest of the government compared to remaining in its current facilities.
GAO noted that: (1) despite delays in completing the building, GAO believes that it is in the best interest of the government for FCC to move into the Portals II building; (2) various problems, including a lack of funding and congressional concerns that resulted in a stop work order, caused delays in delivery of Portals II to a General Service Administration (GSA) and FCC's move into the building; (3) FCC is being moved to a new space because in 1988 FCC and GSA agreed to consolidate FCC's operations into one facility; (4) the consolidation's objective was to reduce the total amount of leased space, improve FCC's operating efficiency, and reduce its administrative costs; (5) since 1988, FCC's size has increased to such an extent that in 1998 it occupied space in eight office buildings; (6) also, five of the office buildings FCC currently occupies have major fire-safety code or asbestos-related problems or both; (7) according to GSA, all of the leases for FCC space will expire between June 1998 and April 2003 and would have to be recompeted; (8) therefore, FCC would have to move out of it current space, at least temporarily, even if it does not move to Portals II; (9) the Portals II building was selected to meet FCC's initial square footage needs through a full and open competition in which Portals II was the only offeror among the final three offerors that met both technical and award requirements and the cost authorized for the acquisition by the prospectus approved by the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation; (10) if FCC does not move to Portals II, the government is likely to incur additional substantial costs, although the total amount is not known at this time; (11) although GSA expects FCC's consolidation to reduce FCC's office space needs, the annual total rent cost for Portals II will be about $8.4 million more than the $15.4 million FCC currently pays for its office space with short-term leases; (12) according to GSA officials, if FCC does not move, GSA will have to recompete FCC's space requirements, which would likely increase FCC's rent, given market rates and FCC's special requirements; (13) phase I of the Portals II building was not ready for delivery to GSA as originally scheduled on July 1, 1997; (14) as a result, the beginning of actual construction of the building was delayed by about 6 to 7 months; and (15) in July 1997, GSA agreed to fund FCC's relocation costs with the understanding that FCC had been unable to obtain congressional authority to fund these costs, but would continue as a agency priority, to request annual appropriations to reimburse GSA.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
B.C. government orders mine to plug further release from tailings pond
LIKELY, B.C. - The company that owns a gold and copper mine in British Columbia where a tailings pond burst, sending a massive wave of water and potentially toxic silt into surrounding waterways, has been formally ordered to clean up the site and prevent more material from escaping.
But government officials acknowledged Wednesday they still didn't know exactly what spilled out or how the breach will affect surrounding lakes and rivers, where salmon spawn, locals get their drinking water and tourism operators take their customers.
Related Items
A tailings pond dam at Imperial Metals' Mount Polley Mine, about 600 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, failed on Monday, sending 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of toxic silt into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake.
The breach prompted a ban on drinking or bathing in water from surrounding lakes and river, which was still in effect on Wednesday, though the company has insisted the water in the tailings pond was safe and the solids that spilled out were "relatively benign."
The province's Environment Ministry announced Wednesday that the company received a "pollution abatement order" a day earlier.
Under the terms of the order, Mount Polley Mine was required immediately take steps to prevent more waste from escaping into nearby creeks and lakes. The company was also ordered to conduct an environmental assessment and submit a clean-up action plan by Wednesday, with a more detailed plan due by the end of next week.
The province also ordered the company to provide a detailed assessment of the materials that were released, including the anticipated impact on the environment.
Mines Minister Bill Bennett said it was still too early to assess the potential impact of the spill, though he said that may change Thursday, when the first water-testing results were expected to be released.
"I am hopeful the company is correct in terms of what they say their records show (about what was) in the tailings and that will lead us to positive results, but I don't know that," said Bennett.
The minister promised a thorough investigation that will look at both the actions of the provincial government and the company.
"If the company has made some mistakes and is the cause of what happened, it will have to acknowledge that and it will have to bear the costs and responsibility for that," said Bennett.
A summary of material dumped into the tailings pond filed last year with Environment Canada listed 326 tonnes of nickel, over 400,000 kilograms of arsenic, 177,000 kilograms of lead and 18,400 tonnes of copper and its compounds.
On Monday, the same day as the breach, the company sent the provincial government data about the tailings pond water, B.C.'s Environment Ministry said.
Tests indicated that levels of selenium exceeded drinking-water guidelines by almost three times and organic carbon concentrations exceeded guidelines for chlorinated water. The ministry also said nitrate, cadmium, copper, iron and selenium had exceeded aquatic life guidelines at least sporadically in recent years.
"The ministry would not say that (the water in the tailings pond), based on the characterization, had satisfied drinking water requirements," said Jennifer McGuire of the B.C. Environment Ministry.
Company president Brian Kynoch apologized to local residents on Tuesday and appeared to downplay the potential dangers posed by the spill. He said the water released from the pond was very close to drinking water. He also said mercury had never been detected in the water and arsenic levels were low.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs said the presence of heavy metals in the tailings could be devastating to salmon.
"I don't think there's any question that it's absolutely catastrophic —it has the potential to devastate the wild salmon stock.
Quesnel Lake and the Quesnel River are considered important breeding grounds for wild salmon, as are other nearby creeks. The system eventually reaches the Fraser River.
"It couldn't happen at a worse time: the Quesnel salmon run is expected to pass by in a couple of weeks," said Phillip.
Craig Orr, the executive director of the group Watershed Watch, said he was skeptical of the claims by the company and the province.
"It's a disaster, no question about it," he said in an interview.
"There have been a lot of concerns about human health and drinking water, but a lot of concerns I've heard have been about the fish,"
Orr said debris could impede salmon migration, while heavy metals such as copper could either kill the salmon or harm the fish.
Sharon Borkowski and her husband own Northern Lights Lodge in Likely, offering cabin rentals and fly fishing trips. Last year, they began renting out the cabins to mine workers after officials with the Mount Polley Mine approached them with the offer of steady, year-round rentals.
The miners went home this week and Borkowski isn't sure fishing tourists will return to the site of a major industrial accident to take the workers' place.
"This affects us double," said Borkowski.
Borkowski said she's optimistic with the company's statements that the water is safe, but she's still waiting for the results of water quality testing, expected Thursday.
"When you see those aerial photos, it's pretty devastating," said Borkowski.
"Then (when the results are in) I will feel a little better, but long-term, I just don't know. Until they get those results in, I don't think they can tell you what effect it has."

A tragedy that no one wanted or expected ! Will this change anything or will governments continue to allow tailing ponds to victimize the people, our water sources, wildlife and and environment? These ponds are disasters just waiting to happen. (ticking time bombs)The Oil Tar Sand for instance , another government sponsored and promoted undertaking, with catastrophic consequences!
