5 Undervalued And Analyst-Endorsed Healthcare StocksZetaKap • Sep. 1, 2012
Jun. 27, 2013, 12:31 PMHospital companies are experiencing systemic shifts in care delivery, according to a new Fitch Ratings report. Persistently weak trends in organic volume growth were evident across the spectrum in the for-profit hospital sector in Q1, with same-hospital admissions dropping 3.8% on average. Healthcare utilization patterns are likely being influenced by the growth of insurance products with higher patient responsibility for medical costs, and a shift away from strictly volume-based pricing schemes and toward value-based care. | 1 Comment
Jun. 25, 2013, 3:20 PMHedge fund Glenview Capital Management has ratcheted up its push for change at Health Management Associates (HMA -1.1%) by nominating eight candidates for a total overhaul of the hospital company's board. HMA's board, in response, says it's engaged Morgan Stanley to assist with its evaluation of strategic alternatives, and is reviewing Glenview's filings and will respond in due course. | Comment!
Jun. 12, 2013, 4:54 PMHealth Management Associates (HMA) confirms that it's in discussions with advisors, saying that its board has engaged Morgan Stanley and Weil, Gotshal & Manges in connection with the accumulation of shares by Glenview Capital, as well as to consider all strategic alternatives available. HMA doesn't intend to disclose any further developments until it's appropriate. In addition, a committee has been formed to lead a search for potential candidates to replace Gary Newsome, who will be retiring effective July 31. Shares +2.5% AH. | Comment!
Jun. 12, 2013, 12:45 PM
Jun. 12, 2013, 8:30 AMDeutsche Bank is fond of its Health Management (HMA) takeout thesis (previous) and now says "recent management turnover" and the activist agenda of the company's largest shareholder (Glenview, 13D filing) "significantly increase the probabilities HMA's board could put the company in play." $20/share seems like a reasonable figure to DB and based on analyst Darren Lehrich's recent note, Tenet (THC) could be the bidder. HMA upgraded to Buy (PT to $18 from $12). Shares +11.27% premarket. | Comment!
Jun. 6, 2013, 11:35 AMMore interesting tidbits from Deutsche Bank's upgrade of Tenet Healthcare (THC +2.1%): Analyst Darren Lehrich (who spoke with management) says THC did not rule out "large-scale M&A (acquiring other investor-owned chains)," fueling some speculation about a deal for Health Management Associates (HMA +0.8%). A nice thought perhaps, but Lehrich says THC noted its recent strategy of "divesting rural assets," something HMA has a lot of. | Comment!
Jun. 6, 2013, 8:22 AMCredit Suisse puts out a positive note on non-urban hospitals, saying they are "uniquely positioned" for the U.S.'s healthcare reform. The sector has "the potential to reinvigorate growth elements of the rural market strategy that has historically translated to premium valuation relative to urban peers." CS upgrades LifePoint Hospitals (LPNT) to Outperform from Neutral and raises it target price to $60 from $48 vs yesterday's close of $48.64. The bank also ups its price target for Community Health Systems (CYH) to $61 from $55 vs a close of 47.09, and for Health Management Associates (HMA) to $16 from $12 vs $13.60. | Comment!
Jun. 4, 2013, 12:05 PMHealth Management Associates (HMA +0.2%) settles in after the company presented at the Jefferies 2013 Global Healthcare Conference in New York this morning. The shares are active again today amid additional speculation that the company might be back on the bidding block. Bloomberg reported earlier that the retirement of CEO Gary D. Newsome now puts it in the spotlight as one of hottest takeover targets around. Community Health Systems (CYH -0.4%) is widely viewed to be the lead bidder. | Comment!
May. 31, 2013, 1:57 PMHealth Management Associates (HMA +4%) move up amid chatter that fellow hospital operator Community Health (CYH +4.5%) might be looking to buy the company. Susquehanna says CYH's continued interest in acquiring assets with scale "implies it would be interested in acquiring HMA in a friendly, non- hostile process" though any deal is unlikely to be happen in the very near term. | Comment!
May. 28, 2013, 8:02 PMHealth Management Associates (HMA) says its President and CEO Gary D. Newsome will retire and a search has begun for a replacement. Mr. Newsome ran the company for about five years, and is leaving to head the Uruguay-Montevideo Mission for the Mormon church in South America. | 1 Comment
May. 28, 2013, 3:06 PMGlenview Capital claims it does not intend to bid for Health Management (HMA +5.2%), which recently adopted a poison pill apparently in response to Glenview's conversion of its Schedule 13G filing (disclosing a 14.6% stake) to a Schedule 13D. "We wish to clarify that [we] have made no proposals, either to HMA or to any of its holdings," Glenview says | Comment!

Gallant LadyTom Doherty Associates 2006; US$ 8.99
She looked like just about like the other diesel powered, Balao-class submarines crafted in the '40s. But there the similarity ends. Because the Archerfish--named for a fish that kills its victims with a lethal blast of water from below--won a unique, heroic place in military history and the memories of her crew members.

For any fan of the exploits of Para Handy and the motley crew of the Vital Spark, this memoir is not to be missed.

The Pirate WarsSt. Martin's Press 2013; US$ 19.99
Investigating the fascination pirates hold over the popular imagination, Peter Earle takes the fable of ocean-going Robin Hoods sailing under the "banner of King Death" and contrasts it with the murderous reality of robbery, torture and death and the freedom of a short, violent life on the high seas. The book charts 250 years of piracy, from Cornwall... more...

Gardens & Villa
Waterstrider, Reuben and the Dark
The Independent
628 Divisadero St
San Francisco, CA, 94117
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Gardens & Villa is the project of five college friends from Santa Barbara, formed following the collapse of a noisier post-punk band and a hitch-hiking journey up the west coast. Members Chris Lynch, Adam Rasmussen, Levi Hayden, Shane McKillop began playing in earnest as Gardens & Villa in 2008. The name is pulled from the location of their house on Villa Street, and the property's lovely garden to which they tend. The music they make is very much connected to coastal city they call home — the stoney bike rides, dance parties, a scene free of judgment. The band refers to this Santa Barbara feeling as "coco vibes." For two weeks in the summer of 2010, the band camped behind visionary and now-labelmate Richard Swift's Oregon studio. No shower, no kitchen, but all the magic you could ask for. After taking a band oath to always play all parts live — a la Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense — the band added member Dusty Ineman to supremely execute the live incarnation of the band.
Take the train from San Francisco to Oakland. Walk through the parks and by the lake, the places where the turbulence of city life blurs into the serenity of redwood groves and peaceful birdsong. There you will find Waterstrider. Woven through with pop sensibilities, their songs are imbued with a sense of environment, with a weight and a presence that ushers you into the little worlds they create.
Waterstrider, now a rumbling and thundering five-piece, is led by Nate Salman, whose transfixing falsetto is at the core of the band's sound – it rides atop a tidal wave of booming toms and congas, twists itself around guitar licks and then rises, alone, to new heights.
In great bounds and on quiet tiptoes, Salman's songs explore what it means to detach – from the city, from our expectations and from ourselves. His songs aren't statements – they are questions. Open-ended, mysterious and heartfelt, they are for us as much as for him – a chance to step back and get lost. A chance to wonder.
Calgary's Reuben and the Dark is a collection of five multi instrumentalists and vocalists led by Reuben Bullock. The group makes chilling, emotive folk and soul driven by dark, introspective lyrics that explore the duality of misery and joy.
Boasting a rare chemistry sparked by the relationship of Reuben and brother and percussionist Distance Bullock, Reuben and the Dark has emerged organically from Canada's stellar independent scene on the strength of often anthemic compositions that translate the language of emotion into song with haunting clarity.

Publisher's Description
This book presents a biblical and practical look at the emotions of Christians, building on the concept that most contemporary Christians have misconceptions about why we have emotions and how we should handle them.
Trusting God doesn't mean being consistently tranquil or subdued. Truth is, such a view makes life flat and two dimensional. We often forget that emotions are a gift; to fear them or stow them away would be to deny a huge part of what makes us human. This book explores the significance of the gift and the benefits of living a robust life of thought, action, and feeling. Illuminating the emotional life of Christ and his followers, Dr. Gerald Peterman asks:
- If I'm forgiven, why do I feel guilt and shame?
- What about anger? What if I'm angry with God?
- What is the place of sadness in the Christian life?
- Is love only an action?
Emotions don't just happen to us like the virus or the flu; they are inherently part of us. Readers will find that the discussion extends beyond "good" and "bad," as many emotions are neutral and it is up to them to figure out how to glorify God with them. Extended chapters on love and anger are included.

Set of Two Regent Copper Torches 21 21
Regent Copper Torches The torches are even more beautiful in real life! They look wonderful in our newly remodeled backyard. October 21, 2013
Poor Quality Torches I am an avid Frontgate customer. Have 6 of these torches with the stands. Looked beautiful when I put them up. By end of the first season, they were rusting. Put them out 2nd season and exterior flaked off. Very poor quality. Really surprises me with Frontgate, as I've never had a bad experience before. August 8, 2013
reply to... ouch In response to the previous posting... many ouches..... I guess the deployment of the torches depends on your soil. I was able to press it deep into the ground with just my hands and body weight. Of course, I am very manly and strong. (probably would have taken me 3 strikes with the rubber mallet.) Granted, I live in the very dry climate of Colorado, and do not have the same rain as seen in the South, but it is our rainy month and has rained every day since I last lit the torches a week ago, and last night they lit without any problem and did not sputter or go out. I have been using citronella torch fuel, not the recommended lamp oil. I have not had any problems other than there is a bit of black soot that needs wiping away after uses to maintain the luster of the copper. I don't know if that is the concern about using the lamp oil instead of alternate outdoor torch fuels. Have been very happy with the product and have recommended it to others. July 9, 2013
Look great but rusting out within a year These torches look terrific and function very well. Unfortunately within one year of purchase the stakes began rusting. We spent the extra money for Frontgate quality merchandise and these torches are not living up to the brand. May 6, 2013
Perfect product Purchased 4 of these... while they are a little pricey they are worth every penny. Frontgate's products are such great quality I know these will last a long time. June 20, 2012
regent torches These torches are awesome. I have had my eye on them for a while, and boy were they worth the wait. They add total elegance to our backyard, makes you feel like you are at a resort. Beautiful, and worth every penny! June 17, 2012
Excellent quality First time I have used Frontgate and I am delighted with my purchase. Expensive but so worth it for the quality. Tikki torches are a piece of art and complete our new patio beautifully! Would highly recommend. June 16, 2012
Gorgeous Torches but Terrible Quality I've purchased a total of 12 torches over the last two months. They look great! The problem is that the good ends there. I am comparing these to a dozen torches in cast iron holders purchased elsewhere in the 1990's (could not find the source). These old torches have stayed outside without cover for ~16 years and light everytime. Firstly, I wondered why Frontgate offered to sell "extra snuffers" and it is because I've already have two of the 12 fall off their chains. Three of the others have rusty chains holding the snuffers. Ouch! The first "light" rain in Nashville resulted in the copper vessels taking on water causing half of them to sputter and refuse to stay lighted. But that was better than the fate the other half .... they could not be lighted at all. Double Ouch! When I turned one over to examine the end to be driven into the ground rusty water poured out onto my pants. This was after the first rain on day three in the backyard. Triple Ouch! The vessels of the torches have to be brought into the garage and put out only on evening's just prior to entertaining. Quad Ouch! Just a pet peeve, but why do the have to have a special oil to burn rather than the more readily available Tiki Oil sold in all hardware stores? The rep said they were the only ones who sell it. The vessels hold two bottles of the expensive Frontgate oil sold by the pint! Finally, rather than have multiple smaller stakes to drive into the ground and stablize to a greater degree, these have a single thick stake that requires 300 + strikes with a large rubber mallet in order to drive them into the ground. In summary, my wife thinks I'm a idiot for ordering from a catalog without seeing them in person. They were expensive so I thought they would be of great quality. Wrong. June 3, 2012

Answer:Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The only fuel recommended for the Regent Copper Torches is liquid paraffin. We do not recommend using kerosene in any of our torches.

Answer:No. I tried ordering base separately but not available. So I ordered base for Piazza model but it didn't fit. Regent poll is 3/4" diameter square whereas Piazza is 1" diameter. So we just pounded them into grass and they stay put - very sturdy.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Dplg An expensive average experience This was a hotel I stayed in my wedding night more than 20 years ago. I have great memories of that stay...for more than the obvious reasons. I came back to the hotel as it was convenient for meetings I had in downtown Toronto. I have to say I just did not get value for the money...and charging for Internet was just insult to injury. Luckily I had my iPhone and used it for a few emails I needed to put together. My room could have been any 3 star hotel..the TV was small, the beds average and the bathroom typical. The towels were tired and dull. Nothing terrible happened but did not sleep well and just generally felt I was paying a lot for parking, beer in the bar, internet but was not getting ant special treatment in return... April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tc1963 Sheridan Toro Queen st. The room was temperate was too hot. I set the room at 65F , but the lowest the room could reach was 70 C in the 5 days I stayed. I did not complain to staff, but the first 2 days I didn't sleep well. There was also an old Microware left close to my door at end of hall for at least 2 days which I thought was not really nice to see. I will stay here again. August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Brian7803 This hotel has great location. I understand the Sheraton is going through a lot of improvements but amenities such as air conditioning should not be sacrificed. My associate's a/c was out the whole week (Richmond #750) and the bathtub took a long time to drain. The 7th floor in the Richmond tower smelled damp and moldy. Disinfectant sprays made it worse. My room (Queens #545) was comfortable and the room service was good. Only problem was a toilet that took a long time to fill. Friendly, polite staff. Our conference rooms were adequate but too far from washrooms. June 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by smithpl Challenge your Cab Companies My stay was excellent until my departure, while I am aware that directly this is not a Shertaton issue, it seems unreasonable to allow cab companies who refuse to accept credit cards. The cab we ended up using on our departure was a blue and white car from City Cab. It is unfortunate that I did not get the driver name or car number as he was a complete jerk to us upon arrival at our destination. Refused to take credit card, leaving us scrambling to find cash. Make sure your partners are willing to reflect your excellent service, it hurts you when they don't. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rogerk Beyond our expectations for hospiitaliy Beyond our expectations for hospitality While guests at this property we encountered an astonishingly good customer experience…and one far from what we encountered on several visits a number of years ago. It all started with effective, efficient, and friendly check in by Myra (sorry I did not get her last name). Then a bellman that was what a bellman should be. At the Club the service provided by so many good people headed by Kelly Janes and her team including Augustine Gomes and Blesilda Pagaoa. At the room level, our housekeeper Ghenet was a role model for housekeeping personnel. Finally at checkout, the head bellman obtained an excellent conveyance for our trip to the airport and baggage assist by another of his staff. April 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by xxxxxxxxx21 Pointers for Improvement 1. My next door neighbors smoked the first morning of my stay. I got little attention from the front desk and had to insist that they send someone to the floor to check it out. I should not have to do that. 2. One day I used the door tag to eliminate the change of towels etc for the day. As a result, NOTHING was refreshed in the room. The coffee should have been refreshed and the room should have been cleaned -- I was only eliminating towel service. 3. Conference meals sometimes contained reconstituted beef products. Some people find this a sign of poor quality. October 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by james Friendly staff but needs improvement and attention to detail.. Fantastic location Overall, it was a good overnight stay. Suggested improvements: Food for club lounge needs to really improve - breakfast and afternoon snack. touch up paint here and there, lights not so dim and maybe new furniture in the club floor rooms? Also, if a suite upgrade is used vs a comp upgrade, platinum member should get a regular suite and not a junior suite with a small bathroom for 3 people. July 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ponsuke Lack of hospitality I stayed twice in this hotel and both experiences were disappointing. First, the staff at the reception tend not to focus by seeing other people or places. Surprisingly it happened both times when I checked in. I am wondering they have been trained to behave like that?! Second, despite my plutinum status, the room was standard again both times although being on the high floor. I doubt changing rooms upfloors is enough to be recognised to be plutinum compared to the upgrade received in other SPG hotels including Sheraton. The bottom line is that their hospitality is far from satisfactory. The location is the only advantage I can find. If you have a car or do not mind using a taxi, I definitely recommend to find other hotels. June 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by edw11 Poor Service hotel failed to call me when I left wake up call August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TaggiCH Noise at midnight! - awaiting refund I had booked 2 rooms for the nights from 5.-7.July 2012. Around 2345 in the evening powerdrilling and building near our rooms started, lasted for more than an hour and made sleeping impossible. So after about 30 minutes I had called reception in order to complain and was offered an apology. I insisted and demanded a refund for our rooms which was agreed to by the night financial manager (?). But upon check-out the refund was only applied to one room (957) and not to the other (959) as well... I accept that sometimes rebuilding needs to be done, but NEVER ever in my 35 years of travel has this happened around midnight! And then I would expect of a hotel of this renommée (?!), to handle complaints more effciently and completly. July 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Imagine Staff are Stellar! My husband and I always have a great experience when in Toronto. Your location is within walking distance of shopping, theaters, GO train, AGO, Chinatown, Kensington Market and all the activities at City Hall and surrounding areas. The purpose of this visit was to attend the Toronto Jazz Festival which is conveniently directly across the street at City Hall We always get a wonderful sleep on your comfortable beds and the room views are spectacular. Your lobby is impressive and so welcoming like no other we have seen. Your Staff always make us feel special. In particular, many thanks to Marilyn at the Front Desk and Blesilda in the Club Lounge. Marilyn and Blesilda are stellar members of your team and one of a kind. They are truly caring souls and make our every visit extra special. We feel welcome and at home at the Sheraton Toronto. To us "There is no Other" home away from home". July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by kathiws tired and in need of updating I stayed the Sheraton in Toronto, when I booked the reservation I asked specifically for a room FAR away from the elevator, a QUIET room! I even filled out the online 'how can we prepare for your stay' survey and again reiterated FAR away from elevator and any staff closets or entranceways. My room was 663, which is literally right across from the elevator, 3-4 doors down from ice and pop machine. The room was tired, dark and dirty, before I even unpacked there were dark curly hairs in the bathroom on the floor, in the tub and toilet. May 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JimSC ISSUES We reserved a King bed, but received a small room with standard bed. Moved to two double bed room after complaining. Sold the club package with internet service, but thought there were snacks during the day, but received a less than stellar breakfast bar and very light snacks at limited hours in evening. Cappuccino machine worked only half the time and continually had to new internet package to obtain internet. Not worth the additional charge per day. Very disappointing. July 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Travellinglady Enjoyed my stay but ... I am always happy to be at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. I love the room decor, I love the view of Toronto and I love the pool. Unfortunately this time my room was dusty, to the point when ever I put sopmething down there were fingerprints in the dust. The bathroom also was not cleaned properly, cleaning solution was still visible on the sink and taps. I also found when I called for service I was on hold extremely long periods of time, up to 10 minutes. Not a good system for getting customer service needs addressed in a timely manner, very frustrating. January 24, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MG1956 My stay this weekend When I arrived there was a very long line up . 5 30 on Friday Feb 7th 2013.Check in was fine . When I got to the 15th floor I noticed that there was a smell in the hallway. Sort of like old clothes or a home where the people do not clean regularly.Not pleasant and made me wonder about the sanitary conditions . My room had stains on the carpet and showed a lot of wear and tear. the closet smelled as well needs a good cleaning with disinfectant The office chair was stained and dirty there was a hole in the wall near the toilet overall I did not enjoy my stay. February 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by HarriFox unreliable service We asked the concierge in the morning to book a limo to the airport at 17.00. We had to wait 30 mins for the car and the traffic was terrible. There were no good explanations from the concierge as to why the car was not there on time (it was obviously someone else's fault). It is clear that the hotel does not have a good relationship with a car service company which given the number of guests you have is unbelievable. If a guest can't rely on a hotel to book a car on time to the airport then the hotel is not suitable for business travelers. This created a very stressful end to our trip, we did not want to miss 3 international flights! We also saw that the driver gave a "backhander" to the doorman, which is not very professional. December 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JennyGayle Centre of it all This hotel has everything one would need whether staying for business or pleasure. The accommodations are clean, comfortable and spacious. The indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub are a great way to unwind after a long day of work or shopping (the Eaton Centre is just moments away!) and the fitness centre is a great way to keep up with routine when away from home. The hotel restaurant has great food and service - in fact every staff member encountered was courteous, helpful and always had a smile on their face. I will be staying at the Sheraton Centre again! April 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by sandhail smokers disturbing I always enjoy my visits at this hotel. However the convention clients they had this time were rude and selfish. There are atleast 3 large clearly marked non smoking signs and yet there was a sea of people smoking everytime we were entering or leaving the front entrance. Nothing was done about this and the experience was horrible. Management needs to be more aggressive when it comes to this issue. It's easier to politely ask 25 people to move then annoy the 100's of clients who do not appreciate smoke in their face while trying to have a relaxing holiday. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RonRochester This is THE place in Toronto I have stayed at the Sheraton Centre many, many times, since I was a kid. It's like an old friend. The rooms are always large, clean and in generally good repair. Some minor details may need updating (hallway carpeting), but they did not affect the overall experience. Despite being busy with a Lions convention, the staff still made each guest feel as if they were the only guest. I loved having Shopsy's right at the hotel! The Sheraton Centre will remain my address when I visit Toronto. July 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Steve971 UK visitor in Toronto Stayed for a week. Great central location for all the essential places to visit. Foyer/Lobby was impressive but the décor of the hallways on each floor was a dull beige everywhere and looked dated. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was tired but clean and functional. Help desk staff were really helpful in choosing the best options for places to visit. Even purchased a few tickets from there to save time. Food at the BnB restaurant was great quality and service was quick. All in all, a great experience and would recommend to anyone else. August 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by coqui10462 Hotel is in Ideal Location Only a handful of issues with my stay and the first was the smell. Most hotel's today are a non-smoking property but upon getting off the elevator I promptly asked the Bellman if this was a non-smoking floor due to smell and he said he was going to get someone to address the issue but the smell persisted during our stay. The other issue is one that many hotels have which is the Satellite Service, not a big deal when traveling alone but you have children its a pain when the signal goes in and out and in this property you can barely watch the TV. As for the service, the restaurant was a pleasant experience and so was the Bell Staff. The Front Desk really was nice but failed to offer me any details regarding the property or the area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackie35 Sheraton hotel has a great layout with a waterfall and trees. Very nice hotel, in a great location, with all the amenities you will need. October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swag50 The Sheraton Centre Toronto is world class # 1 Most of my travel takes me to Toronto. Regardless of where my meetings may take place, I make a point of staying at the Sheraton Centre Toronto. Even if it means extra time by cab, I try and stay at this location. The staff are the best and they truely care about those that choose their hotel as part of their travel. Over the years I have been impressed by many staff, in particular Blesida (club lounge reception). Regardless of how long it's been since my last stay, she remembers me and always greets me with a smile and welcomes me back. She's the best! October 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JP144 Disappointment This is a very ugly and poorly laid out hotel. The staff were trying to be helpful but the facilities were out-or-date and the rooms were poorly decorated. Very old fashioned - dark browish plaids that matched other depressing decor in the rooms and hallways. No fridge - television worked erratically - no newspapers in the mornings. Restaurants - dark and very very overpriced for any kind of breakfast. A VERY DEPRESSING HOTEL AND I WOULD NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN DESPITE LOCATION!!!! July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chester21 Great Location The hotel itself is very nice and is in a great location with fun things to do around it in Toronto. Downfall, I had requested hypoallergetic bedding and pillows, but there was still feather down on the the bed. The temperature of the room never changed (which was cold) even when I increased it on the thermostat. I called to adivse it wasn't working correctly(after giving it a few hours), I was told they would send someone up to check it, which they never did. Their room service menu is on the t.v. but only gives you the current menu for that hour. Room service advised they would send a copy up for the morning choices with the snack we ordered, and it never came. This hotel charges full price but lacks in providing the full services.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ACI376 ACI Fall 2012 Nice Hotel. Worth the stay. October 25, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by AkaEm Feb 2014 Stayed here while in town for work. The valet was full and had to park under ground. Underground parking was not well labeled as to which direction the hotel was. The bathroom in the room was quite small. Only had one outlet at the desk and one plug in the bathroom so it is challenging when I have 4 pieces of electronics that need to be charged overnight. Room was otherwise clean and well stocked. The restaurant across from the lobby, B&B had very slow service for drinks in the evening, they served larger parties first and we had to wave or go get our server to order more drinks. Checked baggage doesn't allow coats, you have to pay extra to check your coat at the coat check one level down. Great location, short walk to the Eatons Center. March 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CPR67 Long check-in line, no free internet. The property overall is nice and in a good location. The sweet sleeper bed was very comfortable and complimentary water bottles were a welcome surprise. However, there was a 30 minute wait in a line to check-in. Also, paying $14.95 for internet access, when most hotels offer for free was surprising. Lastly, there were 3 black hairs found in our bathroom, on the sink, toilet and in the bathtub - not pleasant at all! The bathroom also doesn't have a fan to help with odors or steam from showers and we had to leave the bathroom door open when showering. August 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnCT This hotel and conference centre is very good. Staff was friendly and I felt welcome from the time I stepped on the property. Room service was prompt, courteous and cheerful. My meal was terrific. The meeting rooms were well appointed and the clean up staff did a great job resetting the rooms between events. Two minor negatives: 1)The service staff in the BnB and Shopsy's restaurants appeared to be overwhelmed by the volume of lunch and breakfast patrons and service was slow. 2) The AC in my room 630 never achieved a temperature below 74F. I prefer it to be chilly when I sleep. May 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by frequentflyer20 This hotel has seen better days A long-time favorite of mine, I was disappointed by the hotel on my most recent visit. It wasn't as clean as I would expect for a hotel of this sort. Although my room was acceptable, colleagues staying there at the same time complained of very dirty carpets and an overall run down appearance. It may be time for some refurbishing. The location is great however. July 29, 2014

EIS field technician, Adam LeWinter on iceberg, Columbia Bay, Alaska; June 19, 2008.
The Senate was headed into another all-nighter Monday as 26 Democrats who call themselves the "climate caucus" planned to speak nonstop about climate change from about 6:30 p.m. until 9 a.m. Tuesday. The talkathon is the latest effort by the group, which is working in concert with a parallel House caucus, to elevate the issue of global warming. The members of the climate caucus say their objective is to raise the urgency of global warming and build toward a time in the coming years when the political landscape may have shifted enough that a bill could pass Congress. new york times

The Dream of Gerontius, Barbican Hall
Edward Elgar was given a copy of Cardinal Newman's 'The Dream of Gerontius' — a 900-line poem depicting the journey of an old man's soul after death — as a wedding present in 1889.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Edward Elgar was given a copy of Cardinal Newman's 'The Dream of Gerontius' — a 900-line poem depicting the journey of an old man's soul after death — as a wedding present in 1889.
He later said that ideas for a setting had been "soaking in my mind for at least eight years" when he set about preparing a libretto for a new work to be performed at the 1900 Birmingham Festival. At the end of the score Elgar inscribed words from Ruskin: "this is the best of me". Unfortunately, technical deficiencies and inadequate rehearsal resulted in a less than satisfactory first performance, leading the composer to despair, "I always said God was against art I have allowed my heart to open once - it is now shut against every religious feeling and every soft, gentle impulse forever". A little melodramatic perhaps but a sign of Elgar's complex and at times troubled faith, and of the work's importance to him.
Preparations for this performance by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Chorus were not entirely smooth either, with both conductor, Andris Nilson (owing to a family illness), and tenor Toby Spence forced to withdraw in the preceding days. However, under the baton of the CBSO's principal guest conductor, Edward Gardner, and with Robert Murray stepping into Gerontius' shoes, there was certainly no danger of a repeat of the chaotic premiere. In lesser hands, this intricate, mysterious work can become muddy and messy; Gardner summoned from his performers a controlled piece of musical drama that captured both the work's theatricality and its poetry.
Robert Murray has the vocal resources to meet the considerable demands of the role; his voice pleasingly balanced restraint and passion, and he was consistently attentive to the dynamic markings, though never slavishly so, bringing genuine expressivity to moments of power and poignancy. Although a little diffident at the start, Murray had the confidence to trust his introspective reading, and not to indulge in excessively showy operatics. His upper range possesses emotive impact; he has the power to carry above even the most surging orchestral passages without undue strain, but also the poise to float the quietest pianissimo. He conveyed the old man's restless anxiety in Part 1 when facing death, and displayed rhetorical vigour in his heroic prayer for God's strength "Sanctus fortis, Sanctus Deus". And a sonorous intensity marked the Soul's climactic cry, "Take me away, and in the lowest depth there let me be".
Murray's Part 2 duet with the Angel, sung by Sarah Connolly, took a little while to get into its stride, but was moving and convincing. As the Angel guides Gerontius' soul, Connolly's rich, burnished mezzo combined strength and tenderness, expressing profound sentiment but never sentimental. She has a strong lower range, and the text was thoughtfully nuanced. The Angel's farewell blessing at the close of Part 2 was truly beautiful — open, warm and full of hope and promise. And, after the work's emotional storms, the composure of Connolly's full-toned final lullaby, "Soft and gentle, dearly ransomed Soul" brought a satisfying equanimity.
Fittingly dramatic interventions were made by James Rutherford, first in his stirring invocation as the Priest at the close of Part 1, "Proficiscere, anima Christiana, de hoc mundo! Go forth upon thy journey, Christian soul", as Gardner drove forward with a thrilling accelerando, and later as the Angel of Agony at the corresponding conclusion to Part 2. Rutherford's weight of tone and long-breathed phrasing added much liturgical authority and gravity.
All three soloists displayed a sure appreciation of Elgar's declamatory, arioso style, allowing the musical phrases to breathe while retaining a naturalistic accentuation of text.
Gardner was totally in command of the work's motivic complexities, tonal ambiguities and flexible formal qualities. From the hushed beginnings of the Prologue, he crafted a seamless orchestral tapestry: as clarinets, bassoons and violas introduced the plaintive opening theme, initially unaccompanied and then supported by pensive double basses and low woodwind, the symphonic seeds from which the work unfolds were made evident. Gardner never allowed the orchestral forces to overwhelm the singers but ensured too that that his players did not take second place, that the instrumental voices were equal partners in the musical conversation, involved in the expressive drama and commentating on the action. On a few occasions — in the Prelude and building to the climactic "Take me away" - the tempi seemed a little on slow side, but Gardner did successfully build momentum in the climactic passages. He is at home with the theatricality of the work but, while he did not miss a single gesture or intimation in detailed score, he was never melodramatic.
Elgar makes huge demands upon the chorus, and the CBSO Chorus assuredly rose to the challenge, mastering the contrapuntal complexities, displaying depth of tone and rhythmic vitality, and articulating the words with clarity. They convincingly adopted a variety of roles and explored a range of colours: as Gerontius' 'Assistants' praying earnestly by his bedside in a burial chorus, their appeals to God to "Rescue him in this his evil hour" were vibrant and energised; in contrast, the sopranos' closing invocation in Part 1, "And may thy place today be found in peace through the Same, through Christ Our Lord" was shimmering and translucent. A pure, centred tone characterised the Part 2 Chorus of Angelicals, "Praise to the Holiest in his height", beautifully shaped phrases enhanced by the gentle harp accompaniment.
The Demons' Chorus was a tour de force: powerful unisons above whirling strings and flashing piccolo shrieks made great impact, as during a vigorously exchange with the orchestra, Gardner crafted impressive motivic coherence. Here, as throughout, vividness was never achieved at the expense of clarity and accuracy.
This performance attained rich emotional depths. Religiosity was balanced with humanity, as in moments such as the Assistants' imploring appeal, "Be merciful, be gracious, spare him, Lord", where the strained timbre of the violins' high G-strings possessed both an eloquent power and intimations of human frailty.
The most electrifying moment in the work comes as the Soul finally departs, to be "Consumed, yet quickened, by the glance of God". Here Gardner conjured a thrilling crescendo, building to an awe-inspiring climactic discord from the full orchestra complemented with organ and percussion. The moment of insight is brief — a dazzling but momentary glimpse of truth — followed by stillness, as the sforzando eruption gives way instantly to a tremulous pianissimo. In this blinding moment, simultaneous conveying both faith and doubt, Gardner and his performers fully captured the universality of Elgar's message.
