Displaying Brunel
The timing could not be better for the Design Museum's first exhibition on a structural engineer. One has only to look at the three largest structures that the millennium has brought to London – the Dome, the Eye and the Millennium Bridge – to see that engineering is back in fashion. Yet while the public knows the names of the architects behind these projects, the structural engineers who made them possible are largely anonymous. It was very different in the first half of the nineteenth century when engineers were visibly creating an information super-highway by laying the rail network, developing new structures to cross rivers and building ships of iron. In the Grand Opening Procession at the Crystal Palace in 1851, the fourth person from the front was an engineer – Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Brunel was the most prolific of all the Victorian engineers. His output included twenty-five railway lines, five suspension bridges, 125 other bridges, eight pier and dock systems, three revolutionary ocean liners and numerous other projects including an observatory, the water towers for the Crystal Palace when it moved to Sydenham and a floating gun battery for the Crimean War. The sheer quantity of projects makes him a difficult subject to cover comprehensively in one exhibition.

Somewhat Useful Product
By Colette
from Medicine Hat, Alberta
I really like the concept of these cooling towels, and the fact that the wetness from the towel doesn't transfer onto the clothes that you are wearing. The issue I had with the towel is that it doesn't stay wet long enough. I sat outside on a hot day, and within an hour it was dry, even though I snapped it a couple of times. You need to have access to water in order to keep the towel moist enough to be of use if you want to be outside with it for any period of time. The initial cooling effect is helpful, but just doesn't last.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cool Down
By CJC
from Calgary, AB
Although previous reviewers have stated this product is useless...I disagree. It does cool right down after snapping it but my body heat manages to heat it up again pretty quickly. True it doesn't stay cool for too long but it sure is better than nothing. I use mine at work and at home. When I'm doing housework in the heat...I use it as a cool headband.I like the fact that any water will cool it down when snapped...doesn't have to be cold water. So my own water bottle will do the trick.All in all...pretty innovative really.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Works great!
By Jay;s Grandma
from Alberta
I was amazed at how long the cloths stay cool.Works great on hot flashes. Spent the entire day with my grandson at the fair and it really kept me cool on a very hot day.
Annoying & Dissappointing....
By Gail
from Deep River,Ontario
Unfortunately I had to return this item as it did not work any better than a cool, wet towel on my neck does. I have severe hot flashes and with this hot, humid summer weather I thought they would be an answer to my prayers. All this item managed to do however, was annoy everyone around me when I constantly need to "snap" them to reactivate.The towel did not stay cool long enough, not more than a couple of minutes. They need to improve on the dynamics of this item. Even though it was a showstopper it was still not worth the price....
Snap, Cooling, NOT
By JanBean
from Bathust NB
This product is okay but does not stay cool for long. It keeps you wet more so than cool. Not all that cracks up to what they say. Big name represents this product does not make it work any better.
Not as Advertised!
By Miracle
from Lower Mainland, B.C.
It does not stay cool for long. Normally I would return such an item, however I do use it when working out at the gym. I think it is preferable to using a towel so I will keep it, however I cannot recommend the product. I wish TSC would test product themselves before selling something that is definitely not as Advertised!
They help a little ...
By Joan W
from Calgary
I thought they would work much better than they did. They do help a little when I'm really hot, but definitely not what I hoped for. I have debated as to whether or not to send them back, but they are better than nothing so I think I'll keep them. I wouldn't buy again though.
Helps my Hot Flashes
By Arielle
from Montreal
Although they are not as cold as I expected, and one has to wet them continually, they do cool down my body when draped over my shoulders. They help with my hot flashes, and I wore mine recently while out during this heat wave of 38 humidex, it really kept me comfortable! We waited too long to put up our air conditioners, so I draped them around my cats, who were obviously more comfortable afterwards. The difference between them and a towel is that a towel drips water all over, and gets everything wet. These also are light-weight, will bring them on vacation. This is a great idea, tho there's room for improvement.
I does cool you!
By Joy
from Whitby
I bought this item as a Showstopper and I'm pretty pleased with it. It does get cool but I'm not sure It stays cool for as long as the presenters claimed. I have given one to my daughter and one to my son and I'm waiting for their opinions. I think generally is a fair item that does get cooler when wet.

Very disappointed!!!!!
By DEBORAH
from LOWER SACKVILLE
I was quite disappointed as I so wanted these to work for me. I am a cleaner and it gets very warm so I tried soaking a one of these & putting it around my neck and within mins. it was not cool and drying out. I suppose if you keep soaking it in cold water often than it may work better but so would any towel. This I cannot give a star to and I was away when they came so to much time has gone buy that I can't even send them back to get my money.

Bowles a step closer to staying putPosted by on January 14, 2014 – 2:20 pm
There are only two head coaching openings left, both of which Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles interviewed for: Cleveland and Minnesota. Bowles has now, according to multiple reports, pulled out from the consideration for the Cleveland job. Mike Zimmer, interviewing a second time in Minnesota, is the favorite for the job there but, as I mentioned earlier today, I didn't think Bowles was going anywhere anyway. There is a chance Bowles will be a head coach again some day (after his interim stint in Miami) but it's going to have to be the right fit. I'm not sold Bowles is aching to be a head coach, not when he knows the pitfalls of bad situations. Assuming Bowles stays, that would be great news for a defense that flourished under his watch.
UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, Mike Zimmer was officially hired as Vikings coach. Bowles is going to be in Arizona.
– Numbers guru Brian McIntyre reported today that QB Carson Palmer earned an extra $1 million for his 2014 salary (I'd assume for reaching performance incentives) and now will make $9 million in 2014 with an $11 million cap hit, raising each number by that aforementioned million and shaving another million off the Cardinals' current cap space.
– Along those same lines, linebacker John Abraham earned an extra $375,000 for 2014, raising his 2014 salary to $2.875M.
– Congrats to Tyrann Mathieu, who was named as a cornerback to the Pro Football Writers of America's all-rookie team for 2013. And GM Steve Keim was named Executive of the Year by profootballtalk.com.

A year of Keim timePosted by on January 8, 2014 – 9:38 am
A year ago today, the Cardinals hired Steve Keim to be their general manager.
It turned out to be a pretty good first year on the job.
Churning the roster quite a bit — there were 193 roster moves in that span — Keim orchestrated an overhaul that produced five more wins in 2013 than 2012, and while the playoffs didn't work out, it was a remarkable turnaround. He got a solid starting quarterback for basically a sixth-round draft pick. He got a guy who looks like a viable long-term running back, a dynamic playmaker both running and receiving, with a sixth-round pick. He won the waiting game with what looked like would be high-priced veteran free agents, getting Karlos Dansby, Eric Winston and John Abraham at his price and then watching them produce. There are others, of course. You needed a lot of quality changes to get to where the Cards went.
Honestly, it's hard to see many misses this first year out of the box. You wonder what second-round pick Kevin Minter will be, but it's not like the linebacker flopped, he just didn't get a chance to play because Dansby — a spectacular post-draft free agent signing, again, on the Cards' terms — was so good. Yes, the Cards committed to left tackle Levi Brown last season (make no mistake, had their been a left tackle there at No. 7 last draft they would have taken him) but Keim was smart enough to cut ties relatively quickly when it wasn't working out. You move on when you need to move on.
In many ways, Keim's second offseason is going to be more difficult than his first. The bar was set low. This offseason, expectations are much higher, but the Cardinals face many of the same issues — unknowns at many positions because of impending free agency, a tight salary cap, and some nasty cap numbers on existing contracts. (And that doesn't include the possibility of signing cornerback Patrick Peterson to a long-term and no d0ubt hefty contract extension.)
Keim has surrounded himself with quality guys, like vice president of player personnel Jason Licht (who figures to be a GM himself someday) and director of football administration/salary cap guru Mike Disner (who, if you missed it, was just named to the Forbes 30 rising stars under age 30 in sports list). The front office is strong right now. It starts at the top.

How trade impacts the salary capPosted by on October 3, 2013 – 4:53 pm
Now that the Levi Brown trade is official, what exactly does it mean for the Cardinals? Other than starting Bradley Sowell at left tackle.
– The Cardinals get a conditional draft pick. Many have asked what it is, or even, what conditional means. Terms were not specified, but a conditional pick means the teams have agreed to two possibilities, a baseline pick the Cards will get regardless, and then a chance for that pick to be higher in the draft if Brown meets a certain criteria — either number of starts or percentage of snaps or something like that. The teams have not said what the possible picks are. I'd be surprised if we were talking anything higher than the fifth round. Maybe lower. For instance, the Steelers could offer a seventh, with it becoming a sixth if Brown starts a certain number of games.
UPDATE: According to the NFL transactions list released by the league, the Cardinals and Steelers swapped "unannounced" draft picks in the deal — meaning in addition to getting Brown, the Cards also sent a pick to the Steelers, while the Steelers sent a pick to the Cards. The details of what went where are unknown. And I'm sure it still has to do with some sort of playing time condition.
– The Cards will take a pretty significant hit of "dead" cap money next season. According to Brian McIntyre (and also reported elsewhere), the Cardinals gave Brown a $3.086 million bonus as they traded him. That represents most of the $3.6 million or so Brown was still due in salary this season, minus the $546,000 or so the Steelers will pay him as a veterans minimum salary. (Brown is due $715,000 a season at vet minimum at his experience; That number is divided by 17 weeks and figured for the 13 weeks left.)
That extra bonus pro-rates over the final four seasons of Brown's deal. It means some goes on the Cards' 2013 cap, but most goes on the 2014 salary cap. Brown was already going to cost $4.2 million in dead money (on his original signing bonus being pushed into next season) and the "new" bonus creates another $2.3M — totaling $6.5 million of "dead" Brown cap money in 2014. It lowered the cap hit the Cards are taking from Brown in 2013 by almost $3 million, however, creating more cap space if they want to re-sign anyone during the season.

Keim with an eye on 2015Posted by on September 24, 2013 – 3:40 pm
The Cardinals have a three-year outlook for their roster, the prism in which the front office and General Manager Steve Keim views the team. That's how they look at the salary cap, and how they evaluate contracts.
Not surprisingly, the sorting of big contracts that occurred this past offseason, contracts that were put in place before he became GM, will happen again after this season. And Keim thinks the Cards are still an offseason away from being able to get where the Cards want to be.
"There are going to be some tough decisions to be made after the season based on the numbers, just looking at the three-year view," Keim said on a special edition of the Cardinals Underground podcast. "We will obviously have to make some tough decisions like we did this past year after the season. The one thing fans and other people don't realize (is) there are certain contracts that bind you and you can't do anything (with) and you have the dead money factor.
"Once we get to 2015 I feel really good where we are going to be from a salary-cap standpoint."
Keim made tough decisions this past offseason, jettisoning Adrian Wilson, among many others. He didn't name names. But the contracts that will likely be under the microscope aren't hard to narrow down. Big money is owed to offensive linemen Daryn Colledge (with Earl Watford, Nate Potter and Paul Fanaika as cheaper options) and Levi Brown. Darnell Dockett is due a lot of money, although he just had a big three-sack game and dominated. Patrick Peterson is in line for an expensive extension. Larry Fitzgerald and his $18 million salary cap number might have to be reworked. None of this means the Cards have to cut people, but guys might be asked to take pay cuts. There are minefields to maneuver for Keim, and he acknowledged, the Cards are "handicapped to a degree."
Philosophy-wise, it dovetails with Keim's thoughts anyway. "I've always felt it was more important to get rid of a player a year too early than a year too late, because when players get to a certain point in his career and he starts to decline it can have a negative effect on your football team."
(There's Keim below, talking to Tyrann Mathieu's parents before the Saints game. I feel confident Mathieu will not be going anywhere next year.)

Cap space and roster churnPosted by on September 10, 2013 – 4:03 pm
GM Steve Keim has said many times he will continue to churn the roster at the bottom if necessary, and I have no doubt that will happen. But there are also financial restraints in the form of the salary cap that have to be accounted for too when it comes to player moves.
Right now, the Cardinals are confirmed to have slightly more than $4 million in salary cap space. Most players (if not all) signed from this point forward will be for minimum contracts, and will have minimum impact on the salary cap (and if they are signed and another guy cut, it may end up a virtual cap wash.) With that small amount of space too, it limits contract extensions in season.
(In fact, as overthecap.com noted, it may be a slow year for in-season extensions across the league because of tight cap space.)
Who would be in line for an in-season extension? There are plenty of guys under one-year deals, but judging both by value and a potential future, of the players due to be unrestricted free agents after the season, I could see guard Paul Fanaika, tight end Jim Dray, tackle Eric Winston or defensive end/linebacker Matt Shaughnessy. That doesn't mean they all will (or any of them, for that matter) or even that we are talking about giant contracts. But I wouldn't be shocked. It'll depend on how they play too.
Of course, the big extension everyone is expecting/waiting on is one for cornerback Patrick Peterson. The Cards can't start those talks until the day after the regular season based on the CBA and Peterson's need to be three years into his career (the 49ers have the same thing going on with Colin Kaepernick right now.) But he'll be extended, probably to a pretty rich deal, and he'll be the defensive cornerstone guy like Larry Fitzgerald has been the guy on the offensive side.

As expected, vets were good bargain for CardsPosted by on July 31, 2013 – 11:09 pm
General Manager Steve Keim talked about the organization's ability to stay patient with certain offseason moves, and that has never been made more clear than the recent signings of tackle Eric Winston and John Abraham. The contract details are now leaking out, and they affirm what had basically been a given — both moves were financially smart for the Cards.
Overthecap.com has all the details here, but here are the basic facts: Winston not only has a $840,000 salary but only a $160,000 signing bonus. He also has a $250,000 roster bonus and a bunch of incentives (likely tied to playing time, which are going to be hit if Winston stays in the starting lineup. That could add another $750,000. Still, $2 million for Winston is a good deal if he is starting. Abraham gets a $1 million salary, a $1 million signing bonus and a $100,000 roster bonus — again, $2.1 million for a solid pass rusher. A good deal. (Abraham is scheduled to make $2.5M in salary next season plus possible escalators and none of it is guaranteed.)
Again, the Cards end up with good players at the right price and the flexibility to move on in 2014 if need be. Keim will stay proactive with their players on short-term deals. "We have a lot of guys who are on one-year deals who we'll need to actively approach," Keim said, "and try and get long-term deals done with them and reward them like we have talked about."
According to the latest salary cap report, the Cards still have $7.8M in salary cap space. I'm not sure that yet includes Jonathan Cooper's estimated $2.6M cap number.

One year at a timePosted by on July 26, 2013 – 9:28 am
Eric Winston, a player who when he was first released was expected to command a healthy contract for multiple years, signed a one-year deal with the Cardinals. It was another impressive step for GM Steve Keim, who has managed to corral quite a few players in one-year deals, providing flexibility going forward and incentive to those players to try and earn an extension.
It also has created quite a lengthy list of players that, as of now, are set to become unrestricted free agents after the season:
– S Jonathan Amaya
– CB Javier Arenas
– S Yeremiah Bell
– CB Antoine Cason
– LB Karlos Dansby
– TE Jim Dray
– K Jay Feely
– TE Jeff King
– RB Rashard Mendenhall
– G Chilo Rachal
– WR Andre Roberts
– DE Frostee Rucker
– DE/LB Matt Shaughnessy
– TE Kory Sperry
– S Curtis Taylor
– LB Reggie Walker
– T Eric Winston
– P Dave Zastudil
Obviously, not every name on that list is someone that the Cards are going to want to keep around long-term. Others will have to earn that right. It also doesn't include other situations, like the inevitable Patrick Peterson extension that is assumed to be coming at some point after the season. The Cardinals definitely have a plan, however. Flexibility is key for Keim, who is trying to rebuild the roster.

How Fitz wears the capPosted by on July 12, 2013 – 10:42 am
When Larry Fitzgerald agreed to his last contract, he had been out eating at a local restaurant and had to be summoned to a press conference. Fitz loves getting his contracts but truth be told, he'd rather not have to talk about them. That part is something he'd rather keep behind the scenes. But this is professional sports, where the public knows what you are making and also, when what you are making becomes an issue that must be accounted for when it comes to building a team.
The recent new deal for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford highlights the reality of the NFL: Sometimes, a player's salary cap number becomes (or will become) so unwieldy it must be addressed. There's no way to know how the Cardinals see Fitzgerald's current deal in that light, but there are decisions that have to be made over the next year or two — decisions Fitz and his agents certainly understood when they signed this pact in 2011.
This season, Fitzgerald has a salary cap figure of "only" $10.25 million. It's not insignificant, yet it is much smaller than what is to come. In 2014, that cap figure jumps to $18M. In 2015, it jumps again to $21.25M. That's a pretty big chunk of cap to eat up when most believe there will be no significant leap in the cap space in the next couple of years. (There are various opinions on that, given the new TV contract that will eventually kick in, but my understanding is that the cap will go up slow and steady rather than in one fell swoop.) Both cap hits are scheduled to be the largest in the league in that year for any wide receiver, even more than Calvin Johnson, who signed a mega-deal after Fitz's.
The Cardinals worked hard to clear cap space this year for the future and have more non-Fitz choices to make again next season. Given how many free-agents-to-be they will have after this season, they can deal with Fitz's hefty 2014 number. Will they want to? Can they again in 2015? Right now, the only large extension coming down the road is one for Patrick Peterson, who is eligible for a new deal as soon as this season ends. I've heard from fans wondering/concerned if they might trade Fitzgerald, but that doesn't seem practical for a couple of reasons. One, dealing Fitz in 2014 would saddle the Cards with $13M in dead cap space (and doing it for 2015 would be $8M in dead space.) Besides, barring a massive dropoff in play, he just means so much to the franchise both on and off the field. They certainly won't just release him.
That leaves a couple of options. One is to play it out. It will hamstring some of the flexibility of GM Steve Keim, but it's tough to know exactly where this team is going to be year-to-year and you don't have to make any decisions now. There is also the possibility of reworking Fitzgerald's deal — again — to make it more team-friendly. What does that mean? It would mean Fitz would get another hefty upfront payday, something he wouldn't turn down. That, of course, would push the Fitz cap issue further into the future. But that's how it works. The last time Fitz talked about his contract, he and Michael Bidwill talked about Larry eventually retiring as a Cardinal. I'm sure that's still the plan.

Flip of calendar means more Cards' cap roomPosted by on May 31, 2013 – 2:57 pm
Over the weekend, the Cardinals will not make any roster moves. And they will pick up $3 million in salary cap room.
That's because they had designated the release of guard Adam Snyder back in April as a "June 1″ cut, meaning that they could take the normal pro-rated hit on the salary cap this season from his remaining signing bonus and push the rest into 2014 instead of absorbing it all this season. Snyder still had $4 million left of dead money. Now, the Cardinals will deal with $1 million of it this season and the other $3 million against their 2014 salary cap.
Because the Cardinals wanted to cut Snyder before the actual June 1 date, they were forced to carry Snyder's entire hit on the cap until actually June 1. (It didn't really affect the Cards much, but any team tight against the cap doesn't have the same kind of leeway.) That's why the Cards this weekend will see their cap room grow even though they aren't making any transactions. Teams can use the June 1 designation on up to two players a season. Only 11 cut players were named as such this offseason across the league and only one team, the Dolphins, used up their two-man limit. One of those players was linebacker Karlos Dansby, who of course ended up here. The Dolphins gain $6M of cap space this weekend just on Dansby's situation alone.
As for the Cardinals, who have $7.8M of cap space today according to the NFLPA, that stands to grow to $10.8M when Snyder's slot kicks in. The $3M dead money for next year is nothing to sneeze at, but the Cardinals took most of their dead money medicine this year and have a bunch of guys who will be free agents after this season, so there is still a lot of room to maneuver with the 2014 cap. Not sure what the salary cap landscape is going to look like yet, but it isn't expected to jump much again and that will likely mean a similar offseason market as this year.
– Apropos of nothing, other than I think it's an awesome anecdote, check out this story by Sam Farmer about Vince Lombardi and the first Super Bowl. Priceless.

A visit, a signing and some moneyPosted by on May 14, 2013 – 9:25 am
Some things to consider on Tuesday, as the Cardinals are set to unveil their complete team in on-field work for the first time as organized team activities begin later this morning:
– The one-year contract of Karlos Dansby calls for a salary of $1.25 million this season, according to the NFLPA. Kent Somers reports Dansby also got a $1 million signing bonus. That's $2.25M (yes, I am sharp at math), which is obviously well below the $6M-plus Dansby had been originally scheduled to receive from the Dolphins before he was released. The Cardinals had approximately
$8.5 $10.5 (forgot about the money cleared in the Hoyer release) million in cap space before Dansby (A $2.25M cap hit, obviously) and second-round pick Kevin Minter (who should count about $800,000 against the cap, and I'd figure he'll slide into the top 51).
– One roster move already this morning. The Cardinals decided to sign tryout tight end Kyle Auffray out of New Hampshire, releasing undrafted rookie cornerback Prentiss Waggner. Again, with 90 on the roster (because all the unsigned draftees figure to sign sooner rather than later) the Cards will continue to cut for every player they sign.
– Could there be another potential veteran signee? Josina Anderson is reporting that tackle Max Starks is visiting the Cardinals today, including a physical. Don't read too much into that — any vet is going to need a physical first, especially at the point in the career Starks is at. Starks has been available for a while and in the past, there was always a question of whether Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm would bring him in after working with him in Pittsburgh. Obviously, Bruce Arians also has worked with him given Arians' Steelers ties and offensive coordinator (and offensive line coach) Harold Goodwin also worked with Starks in Pittsburgh. We'll see if that develops. Starks has also talked to the O-line-needy Chargers.

Probably whole, with stubs of both the stem and root ends, is the way to go (consults jar of half-sours in the fridge). I'm not sure if the theory involves excessive moisture loss, or minimizing entry points for undesirable microbes, but unless they're really large, I suspect this rule would apply. Umm... you may find that some of the rules for things like kraut apply... you may want to make sure you've got a well-ventilated place to work and store them... Adamantius

Rated 5 out of 5 by KMc49 Great Hotel - Double Check your Invoice! Loved the Hotel! Loved the room! Great beds! Perfect location! Fire pits were awesome! Concierge staff was o.k. - could have been a bit friendlier. Invoice was incorrect - even though I double-checked with the front desk at check-out. March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmryDby Concierge Service The Concierge service was exceptional. Jhay Jhay and Jennifer were great searching out and offering recommendations for dinner, entertainment, etc. They offered discount coupons and made reservations for us during our 3 day visit. December 16, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by AliO Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf We stayed here for my friend's 50th birthday weekend. The front receptionist, Margarita was awesome. She was funny and helpful. She was able to upgrade our room to a suite to accommodate the 3 of us better. She also comped the room champagne and appetizers for my friends birthday. The hotel is very convenient to Fisherman's wharf and the embarcadaro, the trolley line and other areas. The hotel was remodeled and it is clean and nice. I would stay here again. December 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulieSPG My children talk about this visit endlessly Housekeeping was so helpful. Anything we needed Norma, Teresita, Juanita or Helen took care of quickly. They exceeded our expectations and are our childrens' new best friends. We'll be back! February 22, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by FrankReview Sheraton April 2013 Stay This is the 3rd time that we have stayed at this hotel. The staff is very professional and attentive. The only issues we had during this stay were (1) the thermostat not working in our room; engineering came out and simply replaced the batteries in the thermostat. (2) there was a power outage in the area when we arrived to check in so this delayed our check in by about 45 minutes and (3) there seems to be a good amount of noise from both outside and inside the hotel. From inside, it seems to be from guest and outside from delivery and loading of trucks (even at 11 PM and again at 6-7 AM). Our room was even on the top floor and there was aconsiderable amount of noise from other rooms. April 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Debr Horrible decor, everything closes...room service pool etc before you make it back from the game! Limo never showed up after we booked it, Prices were ASTRONOMICAL. I WILL STAY at the square and taxi to wharf...this was way expensive for a view of a garage!! May 6, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Holytrain wi book if you can't wi-fi First the staff was satisfactory. The fire pits outside were nice The room was clean but felt like you had things crawling on you. The room was a little below average. No refrigerator no micowave, the bathroom had no night light if you need to go to the bathroom during the night. My wife slipped and fell in the tub while taking a shower. The tub was somewhat curved at the bottom there was very little grip & with the soft water when you soaped up made the tub very slippery. If you want wi-fi in the room you had to pay $14.95 a day. REALLY! !!!! Even McDonalds gives you free wi-fi. It was a toss up as far as what was worst this hotel or the plane ride in on United. I wouldn't book either! October 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alberto Sheraton Fisherman Wharf Excellent location, room, breakfast. Friendly staff and concierge. May 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nonnie52 Met our expectations! We had a great stay in San Francisco. So convenient. June 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Yoshi526 This hotel was very dissapointing The communication is terrible. I was never informed that the hotel would be charging and additional $100.00 when I booked the room for incidentals. I understand why after the fact but that is not right for this establishment to charge unauthorized amounts from my account. I hWave never stayed in a hotel that I had to pay for coffee. The customer service behind the food counter was terrible. She couldn't get our order right two times in a row. I believe there was a language barrier and her attitude was very unprofessional. We came to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather in the evening time and be able to sit outside with the nice fire pits and loungers. Unaware to us they are not readily available for the guests to use. They are on a time schedule for the hotels interest first I believe. It was only 11pm and very upsetting to me. I will say the staff at the reservations desk were all very kind. I know it wasn't their fault and I did appreciate what they tried to compensate us with. (Breakfast at their buffet and a thousand rewards miles. Although not totally aware how that SPG program works yet. For me personally, I had much higher expectations and I would not recommend the Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf location to my friends and family. May 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by edwarde Strange Suite policy I was given Suite Awards by Starwood. I used one of them on this trip to upgrade our double room.. When we got into the suite my wife was feeling sick so I thought I would sleep on the pullout sofa bed. Much to my shock I could not open it because it was secured by a plastic. In order to the use the sofa bed I had to call housekeeping and be charged $25 for using a room which I had already paid for.. Also, when I took off the cushions I saw the notice that advised of me this policy and that I had to call housekeeping no later than 10 p.m It was now 11 p.m. How would I have known to do this until I took the cushions off the sofa??? Nobody told me about this and although I had stayed in a Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf suite many times before, I had never encounted this policy until Dec. 22. Our second shock came when I had ordered a limo. through from the Concierge, to take us to the Sheraton Palace for a party. The limo was ordered to take us there and pick us up. When it was time to pick us up I called the limo driver and he said he would be at the Palace in 10 minutes. After a half hour of waiting in the rain we called and told me that would not be picking us up. He obviously was going to make more money with another pickup. We had to find our way back to the Shraton FIsherman's Wharf on our own. Have you ever tried to find a taxi in San Francisco in a rain storm? It took us two hours. This was very disappointing. December 24, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anders34 Good for Tourists not for Business Although conveniently located close to tourist activities in the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood, it was not close to the business areas of San Francisco. Further, the dated construction, although recently remodeled, made for a drafty cold room and noisy atmosphere. Food service was great and the dinner options in the cafe were decent. Unfortunately I left my scarf at a table at the cafe and the next morning when I inquired about it being picked up by the staff, without looking around or asking anyone, the concierge told me there was nothing found. When I asked if they could at least ask anyone at the front desk or leave a note, they said it would not help. January 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Irish86 Not a Category 5 Hotel I'd like to start by saying that I've been staying at Starwood hotels for years. My parents were SPG members, and when it was time for me to pick a hotel allegiance, Starwood was a clear and easy choice based on the years of positive experiences I've had at their establishments. The Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf fell far below my Starwood expectations. This is a slightly nicer version of a motel. The hallways are not heated and were freezing during my stay. The hotel rooms themselves do not have central air/heat but rather are controlled by a very dated radiator in the corner of the room. There is absolutely no insulation in between hotel rooms and the hallway - I could hear noises above, below, and outside of my room. The shower was so small I could barely fit in it (I am 5'6 and 130lbs), and the cups provided for the room were plastic. Two of the 3 hotel elevators in the 1st floor lobby were broken (we were there on a Friday/Saturday) and on at least three occasions, my party and several others in the hallway waited for more than 5 minutes just to get into an elevator. I have never written a review on a restaurant, hotel, etc until now - but this experience was just so terrible that I felt obligated to share with others. Do not book this hotel and expect to receive the same quality as another Starwood property. At best - this hotel should be a category 2. I will not stay here again, would not recommend it to anyone else, and am afraid my opinion of Starwood hotels is greatly diminished. November 13, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jimmy2011 Good location but not deserved of category 5 The hotel location is nice if you want to explore the tourist area of Fisherman's wharf but , for the money, the hotel is not good value. The staff were, for the duration of my stay, helpful and courteous but I did encounter some serious issues during my 3-night stay that required managment's intervention. The room was adequate, clean with comfortable bed, but the room was noisy. Check-in exceeded ten minutes and the Gold/Platnum check-in desk is so poorly differentiated that it might as well not exist. If you're a Platinum SPG member don't expect any different treatment than a guest without status. I arranged our stay at this hotel and my colleagues, with no status, had nicer rooms than I did. For a Sheraton property at this price you might expect a Club Lounge. Not at this property. Do not be fooled by the pretty pictures on the hotel's website showing quaint fire pit and lounging areas. These are located along the through-way where all guests are dropped off and picked up. The room amenities are not commensurate with other category 5 Starwood properties. The breakfast options are also paultry for a hotel that boasts being an exclusive property where $24.95 will get you a disappointing selection of buffet items. No a la carte options at this hotel. The fitness center is a bright spot in this otherwise disappointing property. The concierge desk was also very helpful in booking our half day wine tour in Sonoma. Bottom line...if you're looking for a reasonably priced hotel to enjoy the best that San Francisco has to offer, stay somewhere else. September 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by marmot Would not recommend this hotel We stayed in many hotels withhin the our travel in the US, but this hotel was a disapointment. The staff was very rude when we arrived. The first friendly staff in the hotel was concierge david, thank you for this. The room was not cleaned daily, when I went to front desk, I was told we had the sign on the door, not to disturb. But this could not be, because we didnt put this on the door. Great location, but that's it. The Rooms are nicely furnished. But it is an older building. You can hear the people in the next room! No Wifi in the room, you have to pay extra! And this in a sheraton! June 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by KN99 POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE I live in Pennsylvania. booked a reward room at this hotel in SF for my daughter. After booking, I called and confirmed all details with the hotel directly to ensure there would be no issues checking in. Upon arrival, the desk clerk said the room was booked for the same date but for next year then began giving my daughter a hard time. My daughter called me and put me on the phone and the desk clerk had attitude and was very rude. My daugther was finally checked in after an hour and a half. Very disappointing, wouldn't reccomend this hotel or any other Sheraton after this experience. November 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Edpsych One week's stay The hotel fell well short of expectations and compared poorly with other hotels/motel on our drive from LA to San Francisco: The cost of parking was excessive. The interior decor was extremely poor. Bathrooms were very small. Lack of double glazing prevented being disturbed by the hotel's air con units. lack of proper restaurant facilities and availability of free wifi in the lobby was appalling. I advised a friend to change his booking! October 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by ShelleyB huge financial burden When I made my original reservation (after calling many other hotels), I expressed to the rep on the phone that my MAIN goal in finding a hotel near the warf was getting my 8 little Girl Scouts breakfast as part of my room rate. I shared that we had 8 girls spread between our 3 rooms plus 1 adult in each room. (a total of 11 people). We had a very busy agenda and this was crucial to not only our troop budgeting but our timing of our 3 night/4 day stay in SF. When we went down stairs to get our breakfast on our first morning (Friday), I was told that I only got 2 breakfasts per room (6 total) and that I would need buy the additional 5 breakfasts for my girl scouts. This was unexpected and my heart sank, as my 11 year old girls earned every penny of this trip; fundraised and worked really hard for two years, paid for their own flight, hotel and meals and budgeted their trip from start to finish. I did not have enough money personally to pay for 15 breakfasts to sustain us for the rest of the weekend and I was let down that my expectations were not met. The manager that I spoke with told me "she'd listen to the recorded phone call I had" - (insinuating that I was lying!!!???) I told her to listen to it and that she could hear that I was certainly telling the truth!! And asked me to read the fine print of my email confirmation which clearly says 2 breakfasts per room. I expressed to her that I had confidence in my conversation with the rep who clearly understood my needs and said they would be met with my increased rate to accommodate breakfasts for my girl scouts along with my AAA card. The manager told me that as a courtesy, she'd comp my 5 meals for that day but that she couldn't help me with the other days and that I was basically on my own. My heart sank. All she could offer me was to possibly reduce my room rate to the "non-breakfast rate" for my 2nd and 3rd nights. She told me she'd look into the rate and call me back that day....that call never happened. She didn't call me on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I didn't see what my room rate was until I checked out on Sunday. Over promised and under-delivered... I figured this room rate (if it happened) would help put money back into my Girl Scout bank account so I could feed these girls for the weekend. However, my card continued to decline; as it takes 48+ hours to reflect any credits. Because of this, I had to pull money out of my personal account to buy 22 breakfasts for the duration of the weekend (money I didn't have readily available). Additionally, the first night we arrived, after we checked in, I went to buy my girls an ice cream down the street for $19. My card was declined. I later found out that this was because $198 x 3 was 'held' by your hotel on my credit card. This was nearly $600 of my girls' money that was in my troop bank account. This money was carefully budgeted to pay for my girl scouts' 6 meals per day - Lunch and Dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When I called and spoke to your hotel manager to please lift this security deposit and explained my situation. (I had to call three times b/c my call was not being returned)...this was 11:30 at night. Finally they told me they would lift it and would call the bank immediately. But my card continued to embarassingly decline all weekend. Upon check out, the clerk told me that the request never went in but that even if it had, it would take at least 48 hours to show on my account. So... not only did I have to buy 22 breakfasts, I also had to buy 66 additional meals - 33 lunches and 33 dinners Friday - Sunday. Unreal!!!! I can't even explain to you what a HUGE financial hardship this experience put on my personal family. I am NOT made of money, and I live a modest life. I had to borrow money, move money, use different cards, pull out cash, it was a complete nightmare. However, I wanted to ensure that my girl scouts had the trip of a life time. They dreamt about this trip, earned it themselves and thank God they had no idea the stresses I went through JUST to feed them. I had to juggle money left and right between MY family members just to make all of this happen for my Girl Scouts. It was embarrassing and very unfortunate. It is now Monday evening and my bank account is still in the negative. Now my own family is suffering... My ONLY positive experience was the wonderful service by the manager/server in the breakfast area on Friday morning. He was so kind, warm, generous, smiling and accommodating. It is unfortunate that his over the top service will go unwarranted for the HUGE embarrassing and stressful financial burden that your hotel caused me for the weekend. May 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by belekrom First room smelled awful It's hard to come up with anything positive about this hotel. I needed a room in SF on short notice and now I know why this hotel still had availability. The ground floor room with views of the taxi stand area (the curtains did not fit flush, so there was always about a 2 inch gap allowing for oblique views into the room - not much privacy) was nearly $400/night with $50/night for parking. At least it didn't smell like something died in it like the first room I was offered. The pillows are fluffy, but thin - as soon as you put your head on them they compress to about 1 inch thick. The hotel is generally understaffed and multiple minor maintenance issues were evident walking around. Avoid this hotel if you have any alternatives. May 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HoneymoonGoneWrong First Night of Honeymoon ruined We had to sleep in seperate beds the first night of our honeymoon because the hotel gave our room away, even though I called twice from 2 different airports to inform them we were delayed! The gave us the only room left at midnight and it was horrible with a view of the roof. Were told we could change it for the second of only 2 nights at this location. Next morning they moved us to a room that was not much better but at least had the King bed we were still charged for both nights. Only fix the manager did was treat us to breakfast which hardly made up for cost of ruining our first night on our honeymoon. The saving grace of this hotel was the conceirge were way more accomodating and tried to make up for the travel issues we had getting there. Great at booking us a tour to try to see the most of the city and got us a reservation at a very good restaurant for dinner as well. If it weren't for the conceirge services I wouldn't even consider this an average hotel...especially considering I booked for the Sheraton name. February 16, 2012

Picture your ideal city: Does it include acres of big-box stores, identical strip malls and unbroken stretches of parking lots long enough to double as jetport runways? No? Then perhaps you should check out Michael Eastman's new book of photography, Vanishing America: The End of Main Street Diners, Drive-Ins, Donut Shops and Other Everyday Monuments. The product of numerous trips across the country, Vanishing America documents the idiosyncratic architecture we're plowing under and replacing with prefab boredom. Eastman's photographs pay homage to the rhapsody of ramshackle and bring dignity to down-at-the-heel. Tonight at 7 p.m. at Left Bank Books (399 North Euclid Avenue; 314-367-6731 or www.left-bank.com), Eastman signs copies of his book and discusses his work. Admission is free.

A Californian woman made history last week when she became the first ever person to receive Irish citizenship in a private ceremony at her home.
US woman Elizabeth Darmody Leonard was presented with her papers by John Ryan of the Immigration Section of the Department of Justice at her home in Portroe, Co. Tipperary.
A former California university lecturer, Leonard is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Speaking to the Tipperary Star, she said her love affair with Ireland began during her first trip here in 1967.
"I fell in love with the country and that love has never lessened," said Leonard.
After several more trips to Ireland, she and her husband Bob travelled there for their 30th wedding anniversary.
"To keep the man [Bob] entertained we would look at old, derelict structures, but never had a plan to buy anything. It was purely for the craic," she said.
"We were self-catering in Castlelough and we stumbled across our cottage. Our lives were transformed purely by serendipity," she said.
When she gets her new Irish passport, Elizabeth and Bob are thinking of using it for a river cruise somewhere in Europe.
Elizabeth thanked Junior Minister Alan Kelly and Cllr Virginia O'Dowd for "making her dream come true," saying it was a "testament to their persistence" that she had been granted citizenship in her home.

Reproduction is mainly of two types – sexual and asexual.
Sexual mode of reproduction involves fusion of the male and the female gametes to form seeds that eventually develop into new plants.
Asexual mode of reproduction is the growth of a new plant from a part of the plant other than the seed.
Modes of asexual reproduction in plants
- vegetative propagation
- budding
- fragmentation
- spore formation.
Vegetative propagation is the production of new plants from the vegetative parts of the plant. Roots, stems and leaves are called the vegetative parts of a plant. Examples are given.
- Bryophyllum propagates vegetatively by the formation of leaf buds on the margins of a leaf. When the buds come in contact with moist soil, each bud is capable of growing into a new plant.
- Sweet potato and Dhalia are capable of producing young ones from their roots.
Budding involves the growth of a small bulb-like projection called as bud. This bud grows and detaches itself from the parent cell to grow independently into a new organism. Yeast reproduces by budding. Yeast is used to bake a cake and to make dough. During budding, yeast respires and releases carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide released helps the dough to puff up and become spongy.
Fragmentation involves the breaking down of filaments into fragments that grow into young ones. Algae reproduce by the method of fragmentation. Algae are green, thread-like plants that grow in stagnant water, ponds and lakes. They float on the surface of the water causing algal bloom.
Spore formation is the method of forming reproductive structures called spores. Examples are given.
- Ferns reproduce by releasing spores that germinate into young ones.
- Fungus is a type of organism that grows on moist organic surfaces like leather shoes, moist walls, etc. The cotton-like white mass on bread formed by fungus is called a mould. Fungus reproduces by means of spores. Spores are covered by a protective hard coat. Spores can survive in extreme conditions because of the protective hard coat.
- Moss also reproduces by spores.

Poem by Melba Christie
Life is a cycle.
The Universe teaches us this fact.
Everything is a measure.
an inch, a foot, a meter,
an acre, a knot, a score, a chain
Everything has a shape, an identity
mostly unique,
Each beautiful in its own way,
specific to the eye of its beholder
subject to change
without prior notice,
We all age
some of us with grace
as we gain a little bit of wisdom
along the way.
Life cycles
no matter what we try
no matter what we do
we cannot give up
because we are the only ones who can change
we are the only change
A bite in a crispy apple does not diminish it
It becomes a part of all of us
Leaves change and fall
because the bare tree needs to show off the
complexity of its limbs,
the very ones that become the house,
the love letter,
that pencil that draws the last leaf,
or the orchard of whatever suits your fancy.
Life is a cycle:
360 degrees
of hopes
some unfulfilled dreams perhaps
glorious joys
wonderful views
glimpses of clouds
Enjoy all of it
See yourself in all of it.
All of it is you
it is me
It is us.
Ornately carved in a tree trunk
The initials W & M find permanent refuge
For years people have walked by in wonder about their fate
In remembrance of their love
Small birds hover over the adjacent limbs
Of a great Flamboyan
And sing their love song once a day
A small stone bench sits underneath
Waiting patiently for them to return
While Autumn leaves gather round
In attention of the crunching sound
made as they approached.
Many falls have come and gone; almost 40 to be exact.
And what do you know W & M finally did come back.
They watched another couple sitting as they had sat so many times before.
on the small stone bench underneath the tree,
where their initials had been engraved forever more.

I have bred pedigree Labrador Retrievers for 25 years. Consequently I have sat up many nights holding the paw of a bitch in labour whilst marvelling each and every time another wet and wondrous puppy is licked and nuzzled into life. To date with the aid of their dams I have successfully reared 48 litters of pups.
The early signs of pregnancy may be quite obvious if you know your bitch well but we'll start from the beginning when that first litter of pups is merely a glint in the stud dog's eye. Obviously in order for a bitch to become pregnant in the first place she must be entire and have recently come in season or on heat. Most bitches come in season twice yearly at six monthly intervals. The first season can occur anywhere between six and 14 months depending on the breed. Generally toy breeds come in season for the first time earlier than larger breeds.
Swelling of the vulva precedes the beginning of her estrus cycle followed by bleeding which may be scant or quite obvious. The blood will change to a pinkish hue anywhere between 8 to 15 days after the first day of bleeding heralding the start of ovulation. Flagging of the tail as well as flirtatious behaviour also signifies the bitch is ready to accept the dog's advances. Hopefully you should already know her prospective due date having noted the first day of bleeding and more importantly the dates any matings took place. Typically a bitch will stand for and accept the dog between day ten and fifteen of her season. There are exceptions. Some bitches will stand earlier or later depending on their size, breed and estrus cycle.
A bitch should be fully mature, healthy and physically fit before any decision is made to breed from her. She should also be a good example of her breed and sound both in conformation and temperament. All screen testing relevant to her breed such as hip and elbow scoring, eye testing etc should have been undertaken prior to the mating. Her vaccinations, worm and flea treatment should be up to date. The stud dog should also be chosen carefully, meet the same criteria and compliment the bitch.
I like to achieve at least two matings 48 hours apart. I calculate the due date from the first mating. A bitch is pregnant for 63 days but can whelp a day or two earlier. The first signs of pregnancy may not become apparent until the 3rd or 4th week. These early signs are more emotional than physical. I find my bitches become more clingy and affectionate. A maiden bitch, one that is pregnant for the first time, may show physical signs earlier. She may thicken noticeably in the flanks and her nipples may significantly increase in size.
The physical signs of impending motherhood generally become obvious by five weeks into the pregnancy. Should you be at all uncertain this is the best time to have your bitch examined by a vet in order to have the pregnancy confirmed. If the bitch is carrying a good sized litter her belly will be quite rotund by this stage when viewed front on or from behind. You may even witness or feel movement from the pups as they jostle for space in the bitch's womb. This is less likely in the last week or two as the now rapidly growing pups will have little room to maneuver.
The bitch will become restless in the final two weeks of pregnancy and will seek your reassurance. She will search for a suitable place to prepare her nest. By this time you should have a whelping box set up in a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of family activities. Commonly made from wood, the box should be large enough to allow the bitch room to lie down fully extended. The sides need to be high enough to keep the pups contained. One side should be height adjustable allowing the bitch easy access in and out of the box. It's also important to include a pig rail. Wooden doweling attached along the inside a few inches from the base works well. This will prevent the bitch accidentally rolling on top of a new born pup.
Introduce the bitch to her new maternity quarters well in advance. Supply plenty of newspaper which she will rip up to make a nest in preparation for the impending delivery. You can be sure she will make her own birthing arrangements if there is no whelping box available. Allowing a bitch to choose her own delivery room is not recommended. Whelping her pups outside in the garden , under the house or on someones bed is not desirable or practical for obvious reasons.
Another essential item for the puppy nursery is a heat lamp particularly in winter as pups need to be kept very warm especially in the first week of life. Suspending a heat lamp securely from the ceiling over one end of the whelping box allows the bitch to move away from the direct heat. The pups although born blind and deaf will instinctively gravitate towards or away from the heat as required.
Your bitch will alert you with her unusual behaviour once labor has begun in earnest. Food will no longer interest her. She will pant heavily and become obsessed with the business end of her body. Her restlessness will increase and she may whine and whimper. Within 48 hours her temperature will drop and her contractions will become stronger. Soon after she will begin to actively push. The actual whelping can last any where from 3 or 4 hours to over 12 hours. Pups may arrive 10 minutes to 3 hours apart. Any longer than this between deliveries may signal a problem which could require immediate veterinary attention. Seek professional advice if the bitch is distressed and has been actively pushing for over thirty minutes. It is essential to stay with your bitch during the whelping. I have spent many a long night comforting a bitch in labor. A healthy litter and contented dam well outweigh the inconvenience of a sleepless night.
The new mother can finally relax once the last of her puppies has arrived. She will be exhausted as quite likely will you! Having cleaned and inspected each of her puppies she will need to rest. As the bitch will have eaten the placentas she may not be particularly hungry at first but will appreciate a drink. I make up a mixture of beaten egg yolk, glucose powder and warm milk. It's important to clean up and replace the soiled newspaper before the bitch settles down for a well earned sleep. Place light, breathable and warm bedding on top of the clean paper. Although the bitch may be reluctant offer her the opportunity to go outside to relieve herself. Once back in the whelping box, encourage the pups to suckle. The colostrum produced by the bitch before her milk comes in provides essential protection and nourishment for the new born pups.
Finally give the dam and yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Enjoy the next three weeks admiring those beautiful pups. They are the best time wasters in the world! Concentrate on caring for the bitch during these tranquil early days and she will look after the pups. From then on the hard work for you the breeder will well and truly begin.

I'm a new Mom, I work full-time, and I am an avid runner/racer. I blog about my training, racing, my child (born 10/15/10), and dealing with all the changes/challenges that come in life post-pregnancy.

This week my running took a turn for the better. I'm finally starting to feel fresh and I had one of the best 4x2 mile session I've ever had. My mileage peaked back up to 85, and I got the sleep I needed and the nutrition. I'm finally starting to feel fresh on my morning runs and my legs are not throbbing when I'm sitting or when I go too long between meals.
Honestly, running is an amazing hobby to look forward to everyday, and I'm so glad I'm good at it, but its not worth being fatigued in all other aspects of my life. Frying myself last fall left me beat up, lethargic, moody, cramping, sore, and slow. It got a little out of hand, and therefore I'm glad the Fall turned out like it did. I learned another valuable lesson - you can't will your body into shape when it resents you. If you don't listen to the warning signs, it will eventually shut you down.
I spent about half of last year surviving on 6 hrs of sleep and paying zero attention to my eating habits. In a country so consumed with calories and diets, I really just wanted to believe that none of that mattered. Once again, I was mistaken. You can get away with less than optimal eating habits for awhile, but it will always come back around. Starve yourself of the basic nutrients you need, and you will suffer the consequences.
Unfortunately, though I am trying harder in the recovery, eating, and sleeping part of my life, I've still had what I consider to be the chest cold of death. The awful thing has stuck around for nearly three weeks, and cost me a few good sessions and a day off from running the week prior. Ironic, maybe, but part of life living with a two year old in day care - you get everything.
For someone that claims to hate doubles, I've ran twice three days this week. I plan to keep up this trend (1-3 times each week depending on the mileage goals) because it actually helped me recover much better between the hard days. Most weekday mornings I typically get 11-13 miles, but the length of those runs is still difficult for the body, especially when I've got to get up at 4:15 to get that kind of mileage in. If found that I can easily get 6-7 miles in my lunch break without it interfering with my work. Also, the lunch time run helps with productivity in the afternoon, major plus!
As for the racing plans. My first half is Mercedes. It probably going to be well short of amazing, but it will be a start to whatever running brings my way this year. Regardless, I'm going to enjoy it, one stride at a time.
happy running.

A decade ago, with neocons at the policy controls, the U.S. government was hell-bent on invading Iraq and few Washington power figures were brave enough to get in the way. A direct appeal to FBI Director Robert Mueller was one example of a warning falling on deaf ears, as ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley recalls.
Foreign Policy
Mystery of a 'Disgraced' War Reporter
From the Archive: The saying goes: "truth is the first casualty of war." But it's also true that war-time truth-tellers often end up as "collateral damage." A new book, Inappropriate Conduct, tells the story of a World War II correspondent whose career was crushed by the intrigue he uncovered, as Don North reported in 2010.
Again, Seeking War with Iran
Modest but real progress appears to have been made at the latest round of talks on Iran's nuclear program, but that didn't stop congressional war hawks in thrall to the Israel Lobby from seeking more sanctions and proposing a green light for an Israeli attack on Iran, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
Bradley Manning's Uncommon Courage
With the Iraq invasion's tenth anniversary just days away, one of its darkest legacies is how the perpetrators escaped accountability and how the innocent and the truth-tellers suffered punishment, including Pfc. Bradley Manning who acknowledges trying to expose war crimes, writes Marjorie Cohn.
A Looming Crisis in Israel/Palestine
Israeli repression of the Palestinians and Palestinian resistance toward the Israelis have laid the groundwork for another possible outbreak of disorder, a new intifada, which would present challenges to both sides and to the Obama administration, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Courting Catastrophe in Syria
In the 1980s, the U.S. and its Saudi allies teamed up to funnel money and weapons to Afghan Islamists whose bloody "victory" set the stage for the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Now, the same team is heading back to work supporting Sunni rebels in Syria, as the Independent Institute's Ivan Eland explains.
Obama's Rebuilt National Security Team
In President Obama's first term, he built a national security "team of rivals" and got mouse-trapped into a dubious Afghan War escalation. For his second term, he's opted for people who share his views on more restrained military power and faces criticism for "group think," says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Neocon 'Veto' Fails to Block Hagel
Exclusive: The neocons and their Republican allies bloodied former Sen. Chuck Hagel with ugly smears, but he won Senate approval to become Defense Secretary. The neocons' failure to exercise this "veto" now stands as a sign of their diminished standing with the Obama administration, writes Robert Parry.
Challenging the Neocons on Iran
Despite the Iraq debacle, neocons remain in the driver's seat setting official U.S. attitudes toward Iran, mixing worst-case assumptions with unrelenting hostility. But national security experts Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett have stood up to this neocon-driven conventional wisdom, says Gareth Porter at Inter Press Service.
Cracks in Sanctions on Iran
As the U.S. and other world powers resume talks with Iran on its nuclear program, key questions relate to U.S.-sponsored sanctions, how effective they've been and when they might be eased. But there's also doubt they can be sustained, write Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett.

Approximately 95 percent of U.S. trade enters or leaves through the nation's 361 seaports. Despite renewed attention on ports, security efforts continue to fall short of stated government goals. For example, while Customs and Border Protection had hoped to validate security procedures of 98 percent of companies applying to be members of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), the target was dropped to 90 percent.
Cargo inspections have also fallen short. Speaking before the American Association of Port Authorities, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, noted that "the Government Accountability Office reported earlier this year that only 17.5 percent of the high-risk cargo identified by Customs and Border Protection was inspected overseas under [the Container Security Initiative]. The rest, despite being targeted for inspection, was simply loaded on cargo ships and sent to our shores."
To address the problem, Collins has introduced The Greenlane Maritime Cargo Security Act, which would "clarify the roles, responsibilities, and authorities of government agencies at all levels and of private sector stakeholders." Most importantly, "it would establish mandatory, baseline security standards and provide incentives for additional voluntary measures…. [And] it would set clear timelines to ensure steady progress."
