US approves sales of precision bomb kits to Israel
WASHINGTON Dec 10 (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Monday notified Congress that it had approved the sale of nearly 7,000 precision bomb kits built by Boeing Co to Israel in a deal valued at around $647 million that included other munitions.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which oversees foreign arms sales, said Israel had requested to buy 6,900 Joint Direct Attack Munition tail kits and thousands of other bombs.
U.S. lawmakers have 30 days to block the sale although such action is rare since arms sales are usually carefully vetted before they are formally notified.
Boeing builds the JDAM kits. Other contractors include Alliant Techsystems, Lockheed Martin Corp, General Dynamics Corp, and Raytheon.
The Pentagon said the deal would help Israel maintain the operational capability of the systems it already operates.
"The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability," the agency said in its notification to Congress.

About two out of three financial advice clients receive ongoing services but only half understand what they are actually paying for, research from NMG has found.
Financial advice should be grouped by type of service and given price tags to break down the barriers consumers often face when shopping for it, Unbiased chief executive Karen Barrett has suggested.
The festive period is predictably slow for advised business, but research suggests the drop in income can be significant.

Advisers could be worth up to 3% a year in net returns to clients, compared to what they could achieve on their own, according to research by Vanguard Asset Management. But the figures don't add up, says Clive Waller...

A health care company that illegally misbranded a drug approved to treat seizures, mania and migraines as one that would control aggression in elderly patients and treat schizophrenia will pay $1.5 billion in civil and criminal penalties, federal officials and Virginia Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II announced Monday.
The settlement is the second largest payment by a drug company in history, and the largest Medicaid fraud case investigated by a state.
Abbott Laboratories, Inc. has agreed to pay a total of $700 million in criminal fines and forfeiture and $800 million for civil settlements with the states and federal government.
The company illegally promoted the drug Depakote for uses not approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration.
"This case illustrates how a federal-state partnership can provide real results for the American people," said U.S. Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole at news conference Monday.
In a statement of facts, Abbott admitted that between 1998 and 2006, it kept a special sales force devoted to marketing the drug in nursing homes for controlling aggression in elderly dementia patients — without credible evidence that the drug was safe or effective for that use.
Further, from 2001 to 2006, Abbott marketed the drug in combination with antipsychotic drugs to treat schizophrenia, even after clinical trials failed to show that adding the drug would be any more effective than an antipsychotic alone.
"$1.5 billion is a lot of money," said Timothy Heaphy, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia. "It will hurt when Abbott writes the check to Treasury. It should hurt."
The case began in September 2007, when Virginia's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) was contacted by a whistleblower alleging that the drug was being misbranded, Mr. Cuccinelli said at a Monday news conference.
After an initial investigation, the unit then contacted the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia, after which a joint investigation commenced.
Investigators logged 40,000 hours, traveled to 26 states, and sifted through more than a million pieces of evidence, Mr. Cuccinelli said.
Virginia's MFCU will receive $1.5 million from the settlement to recover investigative costs, and its share of the $239 million state Medicaid settlement is $4.2 million.

Obituary: The Right Rev Kevin O'Connor
Friday 21 May 1993
WHEN I first met Kevin O'Connor in September 1948 as a student at Upholland College, where we both started our studies for the priesthood in the senior seminary, we had an immediate problem - we both had the same name. We were asked to find some way by which we could be identified separately. I had three Christian names and henceforward was known by their initials, 'KPJ', and he retained his full name, Kevin O'Connor. Our sharing of the same name made a bond between us; I became totally accepted as a member of his family. I soon experienced that great ease of manner in his approach and his wish to make things easy for anybody with whom he came into contact.
These characteristies were the hallmark of O'Connor's attitude as a student, a priest and a bishop. His other deep and lasting characteristic was his ability to work with total commitment at whatever he had undertaken.
As far as his studies were concerned, he covered whatever subject he was studying in great detail, without ever letting the details themselves obscure the larger themes and general direction in which his study of any subject was meant to develop. This attention to detail made him a successful student academically as he prepared for the priesthood. It enabled him also to keep up his practical interest in music: thus he continued to develop his ability as a pianist while simultaneously teaching himself Gaelic so that he could read the works of Padraic Pearse in their original form. After ordination, he went to Rome to study for a degree in Canon Law.
Throughout his student days he prepared sincerely for living up to the ideal of priesthood which was put before us - 'Sacerdos alter Christus' ('The priest is another Christ'). He continually discussed the need for the priest to be all things to all men. It was precisely in his living out of this ideal both as a priest and a bishop, that the sincerity of his humanity and humility became apparent to all who had dealings with him.
When he returned to the Liverpool Archdiocese from Rome, he worked for 20 years in a dual role. He was a curate at Our Lady and St Bernard, Kingsley Road, Toxteth, and then St Michael's, West Derby Road, both working-class parishes, while at the same time working in the Matrimonial Tribunal of the Archdiocesan Curia.
In 1977, he became parish priest of a large inner-city parish, St Anne's, Overbury Street. Soon after this he was made Dean of the southern part of Liverpool's inner city and was shortly after put in charge of the Diocesan Curia as Chancellor, becoming a Monsignor. His work at this time began to be taken up with the lives of the clergy. They, like his parishioners before them, came to realise that they had a genuine friend who took a personal interest in them so that he was a very popular choice when in 1979 Archbishop Derek Worlock consecrated him as one of his auxiliary bishops.
This elevation of office and status did not change the man himself in any way. On the contrary, all who had any dealings with Kevin O'Connor as a bishop experienced the same qualities that those who had dealt with him as an ordinary priest had previously experienced. He remained the simple humble person he had always been.
Just as when he was a curate, his work now developed along two lines, his responsibilities within the archdiocese and the work he was given as a member of the Conference of Bishops of England and Wales. Within the archdiocese, the clergy at large came to know that whenever they needed him he was available to listen to them. The sick and retired priests in particular enjoyed his constant attention.
The tremendous workload that he undertook in the diocese left no one in any doubt about his dedication to his duties as a bishop. The strength of this dedication came from a strong life of prayer, from a deep but unostentatious love of the Mass and above all from a strong attachment to his immediate family, a brother, two sisters, nephews and a niece. They will surely miss one who was very much the head of the family, although in fact he was the second youngest. His father had died before his ordination, a brother died before he became a bishop and his mother died about five years after his consecration. These strong family relationships made him an ideal choice as adviser on behalf of the Hierarchy to the Union of Catholic Mothers. In the same way, his love of Liverpool gave him an active interest in the Apostleship of the Sea, which was more than just another duty when he became chairman of that body.
His appreciation and love of all things Irish, which stemmed from a father who came from just outside Newry, in County Down, and a mother who came from Wexford, gave him qualities that undoubtedly helped him as Chairman of the National Missionary Council and also in his untiring work over the years for the Hierarchy Commission for Justice and Peace. Recently he worked hard as chairman of the Hierarchy Committee for Migrants and Refugees.
At a time when bishops are frequently and perhaps unfairly criticised for being out of touch with ordinary people, it is a relief to know that Bishop Kevin O'Connor was regarded by all who knew him as a personal friend and has left as his testament an unquestionable reputation for humility, humanity and warmth.

Crash Drive 2 1.11
An addictive and entertaining free roaming multiplayer sandbox racing game in which you can race against players from all over the world
Your main objective in Crash Drive 2 is to score as points as you can in order to upgrade your car and purchase various new vehicles such as muscle cars, monster trucks, buses, buggy cars, hot rods, trucks, tanks, race cars and more. With the collected money you can purchase a total of 30 vehicles that you can use to explore the gigantic 3D environments.
You can engage in six different types of events that can cover anything from simple races to coin collecting and tag races. The provided events include King of the Crown, Coin Collect, Tag, Race, Stunt and Find the Ring. All four levels come with numerous secret areas that you can use to level up your car.
The great thing about Crash Drive 2 is that it combines the RPG-like leveling system with the sandbox racing game. Thus, you can upgrade all four stats of your car by simply using them while you race. You can increase your vehicle's top speed by driving at top speed or your nitro by using nitro for longer period of times. By leveling up your car you will also increase your player level and unlock the access to new cars.
To gain access to the top cars provided by Crash Drive 2, you have to drive every single car in the game and upgrade the vehicle stats by driving it or by purchasing upgrades. You can collect cash by wining various events or by using the in-game purchase system.
Crash Drive 2 features intuitive game controls, impressive maps, a high score and a leaderboard as well as support for Apple's Game Center. The overall gaming experience is entertaining and addictive with immersive sound and visual effects. However, it would have been useful if Crash Drive 2 provide a mini-map in order to view nearby players and our location on the map.
All in all, Crash Drive 2 is an enjoyable and enthralling sandbox racing game that will offer hours of fun as you compete against your friends or random players from different corners of the world.

Under Pressure: Dave Nonis
Sep 25, 2013, 8:38 AM EST
"Under Pressure" is a preseason series we'll be running on PHT. For each team in the NHL, we'll pick one player, coach, GM, mascot or whatever that everyone will be watching closely this season. Feel free to play the song as you read along. Also feel free to go to the comment section and tell us we picked poorly.
For the Toronto Maple Leafs we picked… general manager Dave Nonis.
In a single season he managed to accomplish what his predecessor, Brian Burke, never could: He led the Maple Leafs the playoffs. Of course he did that with a team largely built by Burke and while Nonis still deserves some recognition, last summer was his first opportunity to mold this team in major ways.
So what did he decide to do? For starters, he decided to re-sign of Tyler Bozak to a five-year, $21 million extension and ink of David Clarkson to a seven-year, $36.75 million deal.
Those two contracts are big risks as they are lucrative deals to players that have historically been solid, but not consistently great. Clarkson in particular is a big roll of the dice as that contract will take the physical 29-year-old well past his prime.
Taken as part of the larger picture and those deals represent a summer theme of seemingly dismissing potential cap implications. When they acquired goaltender Jonathan Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings, Nonis offered to retain a cap hit of around half a million. Paul Ranger, who hasn't played in the NHL since 2009-10, was offered a one-way, $1 million deal. More recently, with 13 other forwards inked to one-way contracts and already close to the cap ceiling, the Maple Leafs handed Mason Raymond a similar contract.
When he was still a restricted free agent, Nazem Kadri expressed frustration over the Maple Leafs' cap situation and while he did eventually agree to a bridge contract anyways, Toronto has put itself in a bad position when it comes to dealing with restricted free agent defenseman Cody Franson.
Ultimately, Nonis will be judged on how this team does as a whole rather than how much each player is making. In that regard, the Maple Leafs have some potential. If Joffrey Lupul can stay healthy, if the young goaltending tandem of Bernier and James Reimer works out, and if some of their maturing defensemen continue to take steps forwards, then Toronto could make the playoffs again this season and even make it past the first round.
That would be critical, as Nonis didn't sign captain Dion Phaneuf or forward Phil Kessel to contract extensions over the summer, so both are still eligible to become unrestricted free agents after this season. Losing Kessel in particular would be a huge setback for the Maple Leafs as they paid dearly to get him and now rely on him heavily to lead their offense.
If they believe that the Maple Leafs under Nonis are heading in the right direction, retaining their services would be far easier. Conversely, if Toronto gets off to a rough start, then the Maple Leafs will be bombarded with trade rumors.
Either way, this season has the potential to define the Maple Leafs for years to come, and consequently shape Nonis' tenure as well.

Tom Daley: Olympic diver should not feel alone after he joins a growing number of athletes to publicly announce their sexuality
Daley made the decision to publicly confirm he is in a relationship with a man with many others feeling the need to make similar revelations in the past
Jack de Menezes
Jack de Menezes is a digital sport reporter for The Independent, specialising in football, rugby union and motor racing.
Monday 02 December 2013
Tom Daley's public announcement that he is in a relationship with a man has been widely considered as a brave and courageous act, especially given his tender age of 19-years-old, but he is far from the first sporting figure to do so.
With the current state of sport and it's acceptance of homosexuality featuring prominently in the build-up to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, Daley's revelation comes as yet another name to add to the growing list of active or retired sportsmen and women to publicly reveal their sexuality – sometimes with the aim to increase the awareness that not enough is being done to address the situation.
Here, we take a look at others who have made the decision to publicly announce their sexuality, and analyse whether it has had an impact on their sporting careers.

Display caption
During the 1940s Minton was regarded as one of the most talented artists of his generation, particularly for his skills as a draughtsman. Between 1948 and 1957 he taught at the Royal College of Art, where he advocated the tradition of figure painting. He had a charismatic but self destructive disposition and possibly identified with James Dean, the Hollywood film star, who was killed in a car accident in 1955, aged twenty-four. By the early 1950s Minton's reputation was in decline. His commitment to figure composition seemed out-dated in the face of American Abstract Expressionism. 'The Death of James Dean' was his last ambitious picture. He was found dead on 22 January 1957. The coroner's verdict was suicide.

Product description
Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting. Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable NoNo the weather expert; and a passle of school-age penguins if he is to save the colony.Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons."Our Iceberg Is Melting" is at once charming, accessible and profound; a treat for virtually any reader.

Review quote
Penguins illustrate how to conquer changeBy Michelle Archer, for USA TODAY At first glance, "Our Iceberg Is Melting" seems easy to dismiss as an attempt to fuse a few hot topics -- global warming, marching penguins -- into a "Who Moved My Cheese?" fable-as-business-lesson best seller. But this penguin parable has a pedigree in the form of Harvard Business School's John Kotter, author of "Leading Change," the 1996 business guide that also sported our flat-footed, feathered friends on the cover. "The Heart of Change" was his 2002 follow-up. This time out, Kotter moves the penguins inside, using how a colony of them copes with a potential catastrophe -- yes, their iceberg is melting -- to illustrate his eight-step process of successful change. Their story is short and peppered with the personalities organizations inevitably include: the naysayers and nitpickers, the innovators and agitators, the leaders and followers. The idea is that everyone in a group must play a role in navigating change. In that vein, Kotter and co-author Holger Rathgeber write that their goal is to use a good story with visual stimuli (full-color, cartoon-like illustrations) to influence a broad range of people to better handle change and produce results. In other words, companies should buy a copy for everyone from the CEO to the stock clerk. This approach paid off for Spencer Johnson of "Who Moved My Cheese?," who writes the foreword. Kotter's process advocates quick action to confront issues, group thinking and the buy-in of the whole organization. The goal: replace old habits with new behaviors and make them stick. Whether you're a fan of lowest-common-denominator reading or not, there's no denying the logic behind Kotter's steps and the at-times clever way they are woven into the penguins' journey.
Back cover copy
"I came across Our ICEBERG IS MELTING in May, ordered and dsitributed 60 copies in June, evaluated its effect on our change effort, and then ordered 500 more copies in September. This is a gem." -- Heidi King, Program Manager, Dept. of Defense "As a result of the book and my sharing it with a few people in the organization, we have moved quickly on several fronts. We are galvanized to go ahead instead of further studying, more organizing and so on. It is making a difference for us." -- Tom Curley, President and CEO, Associated Press "This is the easiest to read yet most informative book I have ever seen. Setting one of management's biggest challenges, 'what problem, I don't see a problem, ' in the context of a melting iceberg and a determined penguin, was a stroke of sheer genius."-- Michael Dimelow, Director of Product Marketing, TTP Communications PLC

US man may run Cordiant
Tuesday 04 July 1995
"This is just speculation and we won't comment one way or the other," a spokesman said.
Cordiant has been looking for a new senior executive, to fill either the chairman or the chief executive slot, since early this year when Maurice Saatchi, founder of Cordiant's predecessor company, Saatchi & Saatchi, left following a boardroom dispute.
Charlie Scott, acting chairman, said at the company's annual meeting last month that the "search for a new senior executive was proceeding well," a comment which the company spokesman repeated yesterday. He refused to provide further details about the search.
One prominent City executive turned the job down four months ago, reportedly after reviewing the company's balance sheet.
But a US executive such as Mr Miles might help Cordiant improve its reputation in a key market.
He has considerable expertise in consumer businesses, heading Philip Morris' food operation Kraft General Foods before rising to chairman.
Mr Miles left the company last year, when his proposal to divide food and tobacco operations was rejected by the board
In 1993, Philip Morris, under Mr Miles' leadership, ranked 11th among best performing companies, with a return to shareholders of 33.7 per cent. His pay was $11.4m (pounds 7.6m). Mr Saatchi left Cordiant after disputes over his demand for a pay package said to be worth pounds 6m.

The Economic Drivers Behind Science and Technology Support: Jorgenson
Part of the first class in the series of IAP classes titled "Fundamentals of Science and Technology Public Policy-Making - Sci/Tech Policy Boot Camp." The lecturer is William B. Bonvillian, Director at the MIT Washington Office. This class will focus on the drivers behind science and technology support since they are part of an economic system: growth economies, direct and indirect innovation factors, innovation systems theory, and the "valley of death" between R&D and public-private partnership models.

The Good: The front desk clerk was wonderful! We arrived 2 hours before the 4pm check-in time thinking we would just walk along their private beach. We were told our room was ready, but if we wanted a free upgrade to a room with a view of the bay we could wait. Less than 30 minutes later, we were sitting on our "porch" overlooking the bay, the paddleboat, and Belmont Park!
The Bad: A) The old, dingy room with an overpowering smell of disinfectant. B) The nonexistent poolside bar and grill. C) The "adults only" paddleboat cruise dance band (which comprised of one guitarist). Since we always read tripadvisor prior to traveling, we were pretty much prepared for this. What I wasn't expecting was a damp carpet or having to listen to 3 "fussy" toddlers in the adjoining room OR a happy hour bartender who didn't know how to make a strawberry daiquiri.
The Ugly: We booked at the Bahia because of a deal found on Travel-ticker.com. (They offered one night and a complimentary breakfast for two for $99.) In the morning, we were shocked to find that the Bahia refused to honor the complimentary breakfast! They acknowledged that we had indeed booked online with travel-ticker, but they said we had NOT clicked the section which included breakfast. Once I got home, I double checked the reservation system...there is NO section mentioning breakfast!
If you want a pretty "cheap" room in San Diego (and you can interpret "cheap" anyway you want), go ahead a book for one night. But if you expect a nice resort with management who advertise (and honor) special deals, be prepared for the old bait and switch game!

Why is diesel so much more expensive than gas?
December 13, 2014
Q: I have owned Mercedes diesels for more than 25 years now, always priding myself on purchasing a vehicle of unsurpassed comfort, longevity, efficiency and yes, practicality. The problem is that diesel has now actually risen in price as gas has fallen, topping more than a dollar a gallon difference at many stations. What is going on?
Universal antifreeze, busted fuses and WD-40: Motormouth busts myths
December 6, 2014
Q: I'm a 77-year-old woman who reads your column every Sunday even though I don't understand it most of the time. I have a 2006 Cadillac DTS. For about the first half-mile after starting the car, it sounds like someone knocking from the trunk. I told my grandson there was a ghost in the trunk, but would you have better idea?
There is no such thing as a tuneup anymore
November 24, 2014
Q: I would like to know the reason objects are closer than they appear in the passenger rearview mirror. You have to recalculate your vision while driving and I see no advantage to this at all.
Tire rotations, high mileage oil, air bag lights: Motormouth solves auto woes
November 14, 2014
Q: The air conditioning came on by itself on my 2014 Dodge Journey when it was warm and humid/raining. Has not done it now that it has gotten cooler out. Any ideas?
Winter car care, recalls and TPMS lights: Motormouth solves car problems
November 8, 2014
Q: I will be leaving a car outside this winter and will be driving it only about once a week. Will it hurt to spray rodent repellent in the engine compartment? I had a rodent issue with another car last winter when it sat for a few weeks.
Battery charging, tire rotation and engine noise: Motormouth solves car problems
November 6, 2014
Q: With all due respect, I think that one of your answers that I read was incorrect. The question was essentially: "can I connect multiple batteries in parallel, and use one battery charger to keep them charged over the winter?" You said no, use a separate charger for each battery. With a separate charger for each battery, you could control the amount of charge for each battery, but it would be much more expensive, and I do not see why it would be necessary. Electrically (and there are math equations for this), hooking several batteries in parallel looks the same to the charger, as if it was just one large battery. The only impact that I can see is if the current from the charger would be spread across the several batteries. The amount would depend upon the internal resistance of each battery. This internal resistance would vary depending upon things such as size, age and charge. I am interested in your thoughts.
Cooler weather may trigger tire pressure indicator
October 27, 2014
Q: We have a 2013 Honda Accord and from time to time, the tire low-pressure indicator will go on. The first two times they found no leaks. The third time I ignored the light for two weeks and nothing happened (no flat tires, etc.), but my wife insisted I take it in. Again, they found no leaks so I asked the mechanic why the light goes on and he said it was probably because of the change from the warm summer to the cooler fall weather. Does this sound right? I also asked him what would happen if I ignored the light and he said it might ruin the tires. I'm perplexed.
Premium gas logic, carbon dioxide fumes and other issues tackled by Motormouth
October 27, 2014
Q: My Toyota 4Runner has a rear gate window that opens, and it's very effective for moving air through the cabin. I recall there was once a concern for exhaust fumes entering through an open rear window. The 4Runner is equipped with a spoiler that I assume directs the exhaust down and away when the vehicle is moving. Although I've never detected an exhaust smell inside the passenger compartment, should I be concerned?
Winter storage worries? Motormouth addresses trickle charging, boat storage
October 17, 2014
Q: As winter approaches, I will be storing many motorized "toys" with batteries. These include a garden tractor, three motorcycles, a motorboat and a car.
Motormouth solves car problems: brake fluid, smoke, ABS warnings
October 13, 2014
Q: Three months ago, I bought a 2006 Ford Fusion SEL from CarMax.
Instrument cluster on the fritz
September 27, 2014
Q: I own a 1997 Lincoln Continental and am having problems with the instrument cluster.
Get used to low bumpers and electronic idle setting
September 22, 2014
Q: I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey. When we pull into a space with a concrete parking curb, the front at times gets hung up on it. The front clearance is maybe 6 or 7 inches, the same as these parking curbs. I have looked at other cars, such as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus, and the road clearance is less than 5 inches, all by design. These are not customized lowriders, and I understand aerodynamics for better gas mileage, but to me, this was a poor excuse for engineering. Your thoughts?
Heat is a tire's worst enemy
August 18, 2014
Q: I have moved to a desert climate — dry air, no snow, lots of rain during monsoons. I have heard that Michelin tires wear out quickly in this type of climate.
Obsolete part locks out Ford owner
August 18, 2014
Q: I have a 2000 Ford Taurus that appears to no longer recognize the ignition key. The car has been sitting for four weeks while the local Ford dealer has unsuccessfully tried to find a replacement anti-theft module (the apparent culprit). Is it reasonable for automakers to say, "Sorry, we no longer provide that part. Try the junkyard?"
Anti-theft lug nut key problematic
August 3, 2014
Q: I have a 2009 VW Rabbit, purchased used. Recently, I had a flat tire and couldn't get the lug nuts off, so I called AAA. They could not get the wheel off, either, as apparently the anti-theft wheel bolt adapter was missing. The VW dealer I went to could not sell me a replacement adapter because there were numerous adapters that made it impossible to know which one fit my wheels. I found it astounding that, in this era of being able to track everything, the company could not match the adapter to the VIN. Is this true?
Front and rear brakes do not need to be replaced together
July 19, 2014
Q: I drive a Toyota Corolla automatic. When approaching and stopping at a red light or a railroad crossing, I place the lever in neutral and step on the brakes until the light turns green. I have the impression that I don't have to step so hard on the brake pedal to prevent the car from creeping. Is there anything wrong with this habit and does it affect the transmission or any of its components?
Sap on your car? Think again
July 12, 2014
Q: I don't have a garage and have to park my black 2007 Buick Lucerne on my driveway. Because there are many trees above, my car has sap deposits on it which are impossible to remove after the sap has hardened. Any suggestions as to what will safely remove the sap?
Best diagnostic automotive tool? The brain
July 7, 2014
Q: Everything was fine with my 2010 Chevrolet Equinox until March 2014. It quit running and the warning light indicated to change oil. I took it to three dealers and they could find nothing wrong via the computer diagnostic system. I took it to an independent; he said the timing chain is the problem. I took it to another Chevy dealer and they could find nothing wrong. I told them what the independent dealer said about the chain. They looked at it again and determined there were bits of metal and plastic in the oil pan. The pistons had been seared. The repairs were covered under warranty. If the computer does not report problems, who diagnoses mechanical problems?

convenient to cleveland clinicPosted Aug 28, 2014
Pros: very convenient location to cleveland clinic. the staff were very nice and friendly. the bed and linens were great.
Cons: upkeep of furnishings/fixtures (ie there was a black smudge on the toilet seat, rust around the shower, difficulty getting shower to work)
This place was not as nice as I expected based on reading other people's reviews. Maybe it was because I booked it through expedia, but I ended up with a room that is a handicapped room and close to the elevator. The handicapped rooms are always a little weird for non-handicapped people in my opinion. It was a little musty in there, like someone had turned the a/c off before and let the humidity in. There was rust around the shower drain. The bed was very luxurious and comfortable and the tv was fine. All in all, it was a perfectly decent place to stay but nothing special. Parking was ample and easy.

Nice hotel but...Posted Aug 2, 2014
Pros: Location, size of room and complimentary shuttle to nearby clinic.
Cons: Customer service when there is an issue with something in the room. The holder for the shower head was clearly a makeshift one. Had to insist for chg.
The location of this hotel was perfect for my needs. The size of the room was excellent and it was clean. I did have an issue with the shower which was resolved the day before my departure, however, there were a few comments made by members of staff which were not appropriate and I would say that ultimate customer satisfaction while achieved was not without a few unnecessary bumps. As re the purpose of my trip I would stay there again as the complimentary shuttle to the clinic was valuable.

Pulito e ben tenutoPosted Jul 8, 2014 on Hotels.com
Ci siamo fermati qui perché avevamo deciso per l'ultimo giorno di vacanza in FL di andare al sawgrass mills per un giornata di shopping pazzo. La stanza è bella e i letti molto confortevoli con lenzuola ottime. L'hotel in generale è pulito. Personale gentile e prodigo di consigli per cercare un ristorante senza glutine. Nota dolente sulla colazione che a mio parere è risultata un po' scarsa. La zona circostante non ha nulla di interessante ma d'altronde è un hotel business.
