Galen Holzhueter Named First Team All-UMAC
ST. PAUL - MLC men's basketball player Galen Holzhueter was named First Team All-UMAC Wednesday.

The junior forward received Second Team All-UMAC consideration last season as a sophomore, and put his name in the MLC record books this season when he became the ninth MLC player to score 1,000 points in his career. Holzhueter currently ranks fifth in school history with 1,192 career points, and also ranks fourth in MLC history in rebounds for his career (475).
Holzhueter also became the first UMAC player to be named First Team All-UMAC in football and basketball in the same season since MLC's Caleb Free back in 2008-09.

Wesleyan rallied from an early 4-0 deficit in the opening game of its NESCAC West double-header with Amherst Sat., March 27 to come away an 8-6 winner, then moved out to a 6-0 lead in the 6th inning of the nightcap, only to hold off the Lord Jeffs for a 6-3 win and a sweep on the twin-bill.
Wesleyan got a complete game from Brett Yarusi '12 (#26, photo insert lower right) in the opener as he yielded just four hits over seven innings. Two of the four runs allowed in the first frame were unearned due to a Wesleyan error. Wesleyan came right back to grab the lead in the bottom of the 1st, collecting six runs on just three hits, but each of those safeties brought in a pair of runs as Brice Kelly '10 (#13, main photo) hit a two-run double as did Kyle Weiss '12 while Ryan Coffey '11, who came in as a pinch-hitter, delivered a bases-loaded, two-run single to left. Kelly, who went 8-for-17 on the week, including a 4-for-5 effort in the 9-2 win at Coast Guard, and collected nine RBI was named the NESCAC Player of the Week for his efforts.
Amherst scored single runs in both the 3rd and 4th innings to tie the game at 6-6. Again, Wesleyan responded to the Amherst runs by retaking the lead on a booming RBI double by Julian Sonnenfeld '11 to the base of the right-field fence, followed by an RBI single by Kelly to give him three RBI in the contest. The double was the 14th of the year for Sonnenfeld, who is just two shy of the Wesleyan seasonal record for two-baggers just halfway into the season.
Yarusi did the rest over the final three innings, holding Amherst to no hits and one base runner in closing out the victory, his third of the year against one loss.
In the second game, Wesleyan broke a 0-0 tie in the 5th with three runs, all with two outs. Weiss brought in the first run with a single and Alex Meadow '12, who had three hits in the game, unloaded a triple to left-center to chase home a pair. In the 6th, Chris Bonti '13 (#6, photo insert upper left) launched his first career home run, a three-run shot to left to make it 6-0.
Amherst finally got to starter Derek Lukin '13 (#4, photo insert upper right), who had given up just two hits through six innings. In the 7th, the Lord Jeffs rallied for four hits and three runs to make it 6-3.
Wesleyan found itself in trouble again in the 9th after Lukin, who allowed seven hits and three earned runs in eight innings, had been lifted to begin the stanza. Amherst got a pair of singles with one out, which brought Bonti in from his shortstop spot to pitch. After an infield single loaded the bases, Bonti induced the game-ending double-play ball to secure the triumph. Lukin upped his record to 3-0 with the win while Bonti posted his first save.
Wesleyan returns to action Friday, April 2, hosting Middlebury in the first of three games in a NESCAC West series.

McKenzie et al v. King Holding Finishing, Inc. et al
Filing 26
ORDER granting 19 Motion to Remand; the Clerk of Court is instructed to remand this case to the Superior Court of Bullock County, Georgia. Signed by Chief Judge Lisa G. Wood on 11/9/2012. (csr)
3ii the Snitib Statto Ditrtct Court for the Soutban Atotrict of Qeorgta £tateboro Iftimbn JOE H. McKENZIE, DMV PIKE LAKE, LLC McLAWS BAY, LLC, Plaintiffs, VS. KING AMERICA FINISHING, INC., WESTEX HOLDING CO., and MICHAEL ALBERT BEASLEY Defendants. * * * * * * * * * * * * * CV 612-065 ORDER Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand this case to the Superior Court of Bulloch County. See Dkt. No. 19. Upon due consideration, Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand is I. INTRODUCTION This action is predicated on the alleged property damage resulting from Defendants' alleged tortious actions. Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants released toxic chemicals into the Ogeechee River, harming the river and 1 AO 72A (Rev 8/82) Plaintiffs' property. Dkt. No. 1-1. Consequently, Plaintiffs assert the following claims against Defendants: Damage to Property, Continuing Nuisance, Trespass, Negligence Per Se, Negligence, Riparian Rights, Punitive Damages, and Attorney's Fees. Id. Plaintiffs filed this action in the Superior Court of Bulloch County, Georgia. Id. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446, Defendants removed the case to this Court. Dkt. No. 1. Defendants assert that Defendant Beasley was fraudulently joined. Id. Defendants further assert that, by ignoring Defendant Beasley, who they contend was fraudulently joined, this Court has subject matter jurisdiction due to complete diversity of citizenship between Plaintiffs and the corporate Defendants. Id. Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to the Superior Court. Dkt. No. 19. Defendant filed a response to Plaintiffs' motion. Dkt. No. 24. Plaintiffs filed a reply. Dkt. No. 25. II. PARTIES Plaintiffs are Georgia residents. Dkt. No. 1 191 14-16. Defendant King America Finishing, Inc. ("King America") is a AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) foreign corporation.' Id. at ¶ 18. Defendant Westex Holding Co. is a foreign corporation .2 Id. at 191 19-20. Defendant Beasley is a Georgia resident and President of Defendant King America. Id. at 191 22, 26. III. LEGAL STANDARD An action filed in state court may be removed to federal court based upon diversity or federal question jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). When a case is removed based on diversity jurisdiction, the case must be remanded to state court if there is not complete diversity between the parties, Strawbridge v. Curtiss, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267 (1806), or one of the defendants is a citizen of the state in which the suit is filed, § 1441(b). However, "[w]hen a plaintiff names a non-diverse defendant solely in order to defeat federal diversity jurisdiction, the district court must ignore the presence of the non-diverse defendant and deny any motion to remand the matter 1 Defendant King America Finishing, Inc. ("King America") is an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business in Illinois. Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 18. 2 Defendants assert that Westex Holding Co. was incorporated as an Illinois corporation in 1993 with its principal place of business in Illinois. Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 19. Defendants further assert that in 2002 Westex Holding Co. merged into Westex Acquisitions, LLC, an Illinois corporation with principal place of business in Illinois. Id. at ¶I 19-20. Both corporations are foreign. 3 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) back to state court." Stillwell v. Allstate Ins. Co., 663 F.3d 1329, 1332 (11th Cir. 2011) (citing Henderson v. Washington Nat. Ins. Co., 454 F.3d 1278, 1281 (11th Cir. 2006)). In such a case, the plaintiff is said to have "fraudulently joined" the non-diverse defendant. See id. To establish fraudulent joinder, "the removing party has the burden of proving [by clear and convincing evidence] that either: (1) there is no possibility the plaintiff can establish a cause of action against the resident defendant; or (2) the plaintiff has fraudulently pled jurisdictional facts to bring the resident defendant into state court." Id. (citing Crowe v. Coleman, 113 F.3d 1536, 1538 (11th Cir. 1997)) (bracketed text in original) . This burden is a "heavy one." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). "To determine whether the case should be remanded, the district court must evaluate the factual allegations in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and must resolve any uncertainties about state substantive law in favor of the plaintiff." Id. at 1333 (citing Crowe v. Coleman, 113 F.3d 1536, 1538 (11th Cir. 1997)) . The court may consider the plaintiff's pleadings as well as affidavits and deposition 4 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) transcripts submitted by the parties. Id. at 1333 n.1; Crowe, 113 F.3d at 1538. In evaluating the factual allegations and resolving uncertainties in state substantive law, the court applies a "lax" standard. See Stillwell, 663 F.3d at 1332-323. The court is "not to weigh the merits of a plaintiff's claim beyond determining whether it is an arguable one under state law." Id. at 1333 (citing Crowe, 113 F.3d at 1538). "If there is even a possibility that a state court would find that the complaint states a cause of action against any one of the resident defendants, the federal court must find that the joinder was proper and remand the case to the state court." Id. (citing Coker v. Amoco Oil Co., 709 F.2d 1433, 1440-41 (11th Cir. 1983), superseded by statute on other grounds as stated in Georgetown Manor, Inc. v. Ethan Allen, Inc., 991 F.2d 1533 (11th Cir. 1993)). In other words, "[t]he plaintiff need not have a winning case against the allegedly fraudulent defendant; he need only have a possibility of stating a valid cause of action in order for the joinder to be legitimate." Id. (citing Triggs v. John Crump Toyota, Inc., 154 F.3d 1284, 1287 (11th Cir. 1998)). This standard differs from the standard applicable to a 12(b) (6) motion to dismiss under the Federal Rules of Civil AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) Procedure. Id. To survive a 12(b) (6) motion to dismiss, "a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)). This plausibility standard "asks for more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully." Id. In contrast, all that is required to defeat a fraudulent joinder claim is "a possibility of stating a valid cause of action." Stillwell, 663 F.3d at 1333 (citing Triggs, 154 F.3d at 1287). IV. DISCUSSION Plaintiffs and Defendant Beasley are Georgia residents. Therefore, this Court lacks diversity jurisdiction over the case unless Defendant Beasley was fraudulently joined. As the removing party, Defendants bear the heavy burden of proving that Defendant Beasley was fraudulently joined. In their Complaint, Plaintiffs allege the following facts. Defendant Beasley is the President of King America. Dkt. No. 1- AO72A (Rev. 8/82) 1 at ¶ 5. Defendant Beasley 3 is "in the business of preparing, dyeing, finishing, applying fire retardant, crease prevention materials, and other processing of textiles" in Dover, Georgia. Id. at ¶ 8. He "disposed of treated waste water into the Ogeechee River" pursuant to a state permit "for more than five (5) years." Id. at 191 9, 11. This release of toxic chemicals "killed significant numbers of aquatic wildlife downstream of [King America's] plant," including areas "in and around the Ogeechee River, along Plaintiffs' properties located downstream of [King America's] plant." Id. at 191 12-13. Defendant Beasley's release of these toxic chemicals damaged Plaintiffs' property through loss of fish and wildlife, market devaluation, and loss of the use and enjoyment of Plaintiffs' property. Id. at ¶ 14. Defendants claim that Plaintiffs have not stated a colorable cause of action against Defendant Beasley. Dkt. No. 24. Specifically, Defendants allege that Plaintiffs' Complaint contains "bare-boned, nonspecific allegations" that do not articulate what Defendant Beasley did or did not do to give rise Plaintiffs' Complaint consistently uses the plural form "Defendants." For clarity, this Court refers only to Defendant Beasley, as it is only his joinder that Defendants contest. 7 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) to personal liability. Id. at 4-5. In contrast, Plaintiffs submit that the case should be remanded to state court. This Court finds that Defendant Beasley was not fraudulently joined. Therefore, this case must be remanded to state court. A. LeQal Standard A claim of fraudulent joinder is defeated by the "possibility" of a valid cause of action. See supra Part III. In its analysis, this Court "must necessarily look to the pleading standards applicable in state court, not the plausibility pleading standards prevailing in federal court." Stillwell v. Allstate Ins. Co., 663 F.3d 1329, 1334 (11th Cir. 2011) Georgia follows a notice pleading standard. 4 See O.C.G.A. § 9-11-8; Sherman v. Fulton Cnty. Bd. of Assessors, 288 Ga. 88, Georgia has not adopted the heightened pleading requirements imposed on federal plaintiffs in Iqbal and Twombly. See Sherman v. Fulton Cnty. Ed. of Assessors, 288 Ga. 88, 90 (2010) ("[A] motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted 'should not be sustained unless (1) the allegations of the complaint disclose with certainty that the claimant would not be entitled to relief under any state of provable facts asserted in support thereof; and (2) the movant establishes that the claimant could not possibly introduce evidence within the framework of the complaint sufficient to warrant a grant of the relief sought . . . .' If, within the framework of the complaint, evidence may be introduced which will sustain a grant of the relief sought by the claimant, the complaint is sufficient and a motion to dismiss should be denied." (citations omitted)). 8 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) 90 (2010). Under this standard, "it is immaterial whether a pleading states conclusions or facts as long as fair notice is given, and the statement of claim is short and plain. The true test is whether the pleading gives fair notice . . . ." Stillwell, 663 F.3d at 1334 (citing Carley v. Lewis, 221 Ga. Ct. App. 540, 542 (1996)) B. Application Plaintiffs' Complaint recites allegations sufficient to satisfy Georgia's notice pleading standard. Specifically, the Complaint names Defendant Beasley as one of three defendants. Dkt. No. 1-1 ¶91 4-6. The Complaint then alleges that Defendants' actions resulted in, inter alia, damage to and diminution in value of Plaintiffs' property. Dkt. No. 1-1. Plaintiffs allege that this damage resulted from Defendants' intentional and negligent actions. Id. (bringing property damage, nuisance, trespass, negligence per Se, negligence, and riparian rights causes of action) 1. Specificity of the Complaint Defendants suggest that Plaintiffs' allegations are insufficient to state a claim upon which relief can possibly be AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) granted. Defendants argue that the Complaint contains "bareboned, nonspecific allegations." Dkt. No. 24 at 4. However, in assessing the possibility of a valid state court cause of action, the Eleventh Circuit only requires "conclusory allegations or a certain level of factual specificity." Stillwell, 663 F.3d at 1334. Therefore, it is sufficient that Plaintiffs allege that Defendants—including Defendant Beasley— released toxic chemicals that damaged Plaintiffs' property. Each defendant, including Defendant Beasley, is on notice that Plaintiffs bring eight (8) causes of action against it. 5 Dkt. No. 1-1. This is all that Georgia law requires. See In re D.C., 268 Ga. Ct. App. 882, 885 (2004) ("Under notice pleading procedure of the [Georgia] Civil Practice Act, not more than a short and plain statement of the claim giving the defendant reasonable notice thereof is required."); Hawkins V. Rice, 203 Ga. Ct. App. 537, 537 (1992) ("It is not necessary that the complaint be perfect in form or set out all of the issues with particularity, it is necessary only to place the defendant on notice of the claim against him." (citation omitted)). Plaintiffs' Complaint lists eight (8) distinct causes of action but mislabels Count VIII as Count VII. 10 A0 72A (Rev. 8/82) Defendants also argue that the Complaint does not articulate what Defendant Beasley did or did not do in his individual capacity to give rise to personal liability. Dkt. No. 24 at 5. Specifically, Defendants note that the Complaint uses the plural term "Defendants" and does not distinguish between the actions of each defendant individually. Id. Plaintiffs' decision to use the plural "Defendants" is consistent with Georgia's notice pleading requirement. Plaintiffs' Complaint puts each defendant on notice that it must defend against each and every cause of action contained within the Complaint. Defendant Beasley is just as aware that Plaintiffs bring eight (8) causes of action against him as he would be if the Complaint named only Defendant Beasley and used the singular "Defendant." This fair notice is all that is required. Plaintiffs' pleading is sufficient to give each defendant—including Defendant Beasley—notice that there are eight (8) claims against it. 2. Liability of a Corporate Officer Defendants argue that—because Defendant Beasley is a corporate officer—there is no reasonable basis for predicting 11 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) that Georgia state law might impose liability against Defendant Beasley individually. See Dkt. No. 24 at 5-7. In general, "a corporate officer cannot be held to be vicariously liable for such damages as would otherwise be recoverable from his corporate principal." Fields Bros. Gen. Contractors v. Ruecksties, 288 Ga. Ct. App. 674, 677 (2007) (quoting Smith v. Hawks, 182 Ga. Ct. App. 379, 385 (1987)) (footnote omitted) . However, a corporate officer is personally liable for the torts in which he takes part, directs, participates, or cooperates. See Cherry v. Ward, 204 Ga. Ct. App. 833, 834 (1992) (permitting liability for construction company president in his individual capacity where president was "personally involved in the construction of [the] home on a daily basis, personally supervised the construction 'from start to finish,' and worked as the 'project foreman' for the job."); Pazur v. Belcher, 290 Ga. Ct. App. 703, 705 (2008) ("[Am individual is responsible for his own tortious acts.") . See also GIW Indus., Inc. v. Jerpeg Contracting Inc., 530 F. Supp. 2d 1323, 1339 (S.D. Ga. 2008) (applying Georgia law at summary judgment stage and permitting individual liability claim against corporate officer where evidence of the officer's personal involvement in the commission of a tort had been presented); id. 12 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) at 1340 (acknowledging that a corporate officer could not be held personally liable where there was no evidence that the officer directed or took part in the commission of a tort) Defendants reach back a half century and west across the continent to rely on Lobato v. Pay Less Drug Stores, Inc., 261 F.2d 406 (10th Cir. 1958) in support of their argument that generalized allegations against a corporate officer are insufficient to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Dkt. No. 24 at 6. In Lobato, corporate officers were joined in a tort action to recover damages from an allegedly defective bicycle. Lobato, 261 F.2d 406. There, the trial court denied the plaintiff's remand motion because the corporate officers (who were the only non-diverse parties) were fraudulently joined. Id. The appellate court upheld the lower court's decision to retain jurisdiction. Id. Of course, Lobato is a Tenth Circuit decision that applied New Mexico law. This court must look to Georgia law. See Stillwell, 663 F.3d at 1333 ("To determine whether the case should be remanded, the district court must . . - resolve any uncertainties about state substantive law in favor of the plaintiff." (citation omitted)). Second, the Lobato court's three-judge panel produced a fractured opinion. Chief Judge 13 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) Bratton wrote for himself and delivered the opinion of the court. Critical to Chief Judge Bratton's decision was the fact that uncontradicted affidavits showed that the corporate defendants had nothing to do with the alleged wrong. Lobato, 261 F.2d at 409. Judge Lewis concurred on different grounds. Specifically, he noted that the lower court's decision could not be found clearly erroneous because the record lacked sufficient information for the appellate court to discern the basis for the trial court's decision. Id. Judge Huxman dissented. Id. at 409-10. Overlooking the incorrect law and fractured nature of this opinion and applying the reasoning of Chief Judge Bratton, remand in this case is still proper. In Lobato uncontradicted evidence showed a lack of activity by corporate officers. Here, however, Plaintiffs provided deposition testimony from Defendant Beasley himself. Dkt. No. 19-4. This testimony opens up the possibility that Defendant Beasley directed installation of flame retardant lines and did not assess whether changes to the chemical process at the plant affected the plant's discharge into the Ogeechee River. See, e.g., id. at 29, 30, 100. 14 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) Viewing this testimony in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, 6 it is possible for Plaintiffs to prove that Defendant Beasley's actions could support a finding of liability. Unlike the filings in Laboto, where no contradictory evidence was presented, Plaintiffs' filings here provide some possible factual support for their allegation that Defendant Beasley took part, participated, or cooperated in the alleged tortious activities listed in Plaintiffs' Complaint. Defendants also cite Faison v. Wyeth, Inc., 353 F. Supp. 2d 1273 (S.D. Ga. 2004) for the proposition that "there is no reasonable basis for predicting that [Georgia] law might impose liability against [Defendant Beasley] individually." Dkt. No. 24 at 7 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). In Faison, the plaintiffs sued a drug manufacturer and its Georgia sales representatives in Georgia state court. Faison, 353 F. Supp. 2d 1273. The defendants removed the case to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction and fraudulent joinder of the Georgia sales representatives. The district court held that the 6 Stillwell v. Allstate Ins. Co., 663 F.3d 1329, 1333 (11th Cir. 2011) ("To determine whether the case should be remanded, the district court must evaluate the factual allegations in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and must resolve any uncertainties about state substantive law in favor of the plaintiff."). 15 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) local sales representatives were fraudulently joined and retained jurisdiction. Id. Critical to the court's reasoning was the fact that the plaintiffs sought damages from injuries sustained after ingesting a drug that the Georgia sales representatives never marketed within the state. Id. Consequently, those representatives could not be liable for harm caused by a drug that they did not promote. Id. at 1278. Here, however, there is evidence supporting Plaintiffs' claims. As noted above, Plaintiffs present some evidence of Defendant Beasley's activities in the alleged plant discharge. See Dkt. No. 19-4. As such, there is a reasonable basis to predict that Georgia law might impose liability against Defendant Beasley individually. Accepting all of Plaintiffs' allegations as true, it is possible that Plaintiffs have one or more viable claims against Defendant Beasley. Under the "lax" standard set forth by the court in Stillwell, that is sufficient to defeat Defendants' fraudulent joinder claim. V. CONCLUSION Defendants, as the removing party, bore the heavy burden of proving that Defendant Beasley was fraudulently joined. 16 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82) Defendants did not carry their burden. Therefore, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, and this case must be remanded to state court. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is instructed to remand this case to the Superior Court of Bullock County, Georgia. SO ORDERED, this 9th day of November, 2012. /A>0 1 L-, ISA GODBEY WOOD, CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA 17 AO 72A (Rev. 8/82)

Below is the transcript from State Supt. Barresi's weekly radio message from Feb. 25, 2011. The audio file is attached below.
Hello and welcome to my weekly video message.
I'm Janet Barresi, Oklahoma's state superintendent for public instruction.
This week I had the privilege of speaking to a packed house at Tulsa's Renaissance Convention Center as Tulsa tech students were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society for their academic excellence.
My speech to this gathering was fitting, because this week the State Board of Education also approved a pre-engineering career academy at Caddo Kiowa Technology Center.
This innovative program is rigorous, relevant and reality-based. It's exposing high school students to the amazing future ahead of them in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It's also hands-on and students in the program have the opportunity to receive patents.
Think about the transformative power a program like this could have on Oklahoma; preparing our kids to compete in the global marketplace, preparing them to become inventors and entrepreneurs and to do it all from within our state's borders.
Never before have the barriers to being an innovator and entrepreneur been lower for anyone with the ambition and dedication to take advantage of the open-source revolution, on-demand manufacturing and web 2.0 technologies.
If Oklahoma is going to move forward in the 21st century, we must embrace initiatives that equip students with critical thinking skills and a creative mindset.
I'm also excited to see how quickly lawmakers are moving on legislation to implement a new grading system for schools. Two measures – Senate Bill 348 and House Bill 1456 – have either passed committee or a floor vote.
Both bills would give parents and citizens an easy-to-understand way to compare schools and to see how their children's schools are doing.
Right now it's difficult for parents to determine how their schools are performing. Under these two bills schools would receive an annual report card a grade of a to f just like the report cards their students receive.
The legislation is similar to a plan passed in Florida more than 10 years ago. Florida saw continual improvement year after year after passing the plan.
Now I've heard concerns from some who say this system of grading schools would cause competition among schools to which I say, absolutely! That's the entire point!
Competition spurs excellence. It works in the private sector when businesses compete and it will work for schools, too.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next week.

The Pittsford native expressed her excitement to the Western New York media in a conference call, and embraced her role in helping the newly formed National Women's Soccer League succeed.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to have a responsibility at making this league thrive. I've been a part of the two previous ones and they were fantastic experiences but they didn't survive and I think that's what we're all shooting for and that's the goal that I have in mind in terms of what to do and really what to do is going to be best to make sure this league survives," Wambach said.

Pistol Calibers
"It all depends..."
For my first Quip of 2014, I will talk briefly about trends in serious
pistol calibers.
When asked about pistol calibers and guns, and which is "best," I'm
reminded of this poetic advice given to aspiring poker players by one of my
favorite authors on the subject, John Vorhaus:
"Poker is a challenge, built on tendencies and trends
And many tough decisions, upon which a session bends
So, when I'm asked for advice by strangers, or by friends,
I look them squarely in the eye and answer,
'It depends'"
... I am just a politician
Who, waffling, contends
'It's poker, folks. It just depends!'"
After several decades of great popularity, at least among police, the
40S&W is currently losing market-share, to the 9x19!
The 357SIG, which languished for a decade, then suddenly garnered
popularity, particularly among state troopers, is now singing what may be its
swan-song, rapidly losing ground, again to the 9x19!
The 45GAP, if not still-born, never really got off the ground. Today,
demand for 45GAP ammunition, and pistols in that caliber, is close to zero.
The 45ACP retains its popularity, against all assaults, but its cadre of "
true-believers" diminishes slightly with each year's passing.
The 380Auto, disdained by purists coast-to-coast, continues to grow in
popularity among freshmen, just now deciding to go armed. Are they
delusional? Many probably are. But, at least for some, there are few other real
Many of my colleagues, for whom I have much respect, now advocate "
standardizing" on the 9mm (9x19). They are persuaded that the 9mm, with
high-performance ammunition, represents the equivalent in stopping power of nearly
any other popular, serious caliber, at least any that is commonly carried.
Their logic is difficult to dispute!
Texas State Police (DPS), after pioneering the 357SIG, and issuing SIG
pistols chambered for that round to its troopers for many years, is now going
to the 9mm! Reasons cited are comfort, less wear-and-tear on guns, and cost
of ammunition. Other states may follow.
"Trends" are fickle and unpredictable. Logic and facts often play only
minor rolls. As in art, one dies of hunger, or becomes a millionaire, for
no other reason than the whim of fashion.
So, when asked about pistol calibers, like John Vorhaus, I usually answer,
"It all depends."
It depends on a person's size, strength, size of his hands, degree of
personal commitment to (or even interest in) our Art, fiscal means, lifestyle,
likely threats, where/how he lives, what is likely to be most available,
personal sensitivity to recoil, noise, concussion... and a host of other
Continuing with Vorhaus:
"For I can't give affirmation
To your certain situation
Without better information,
Followed by some cognation,
And some subtitle calculation,
Not to mention computation,
To the point of constipation!
And now, with no more hesitation
I'll complete your education,
And leave you with this explanation
Though the argument distends,
In the end... it all depends"
It does indeed! So, make a decision, and don't look back. Make firm
plans, but don't be too proud of them. Be bold, but cautious; courageous, but
not foolish; clear, but flexible; realistic, but not self-indulgent. Don'
t con your friends, and don't con yourself. Think clearly and make sound
decisions, and stop worrying about being, nor looking, "cool"
You came into this world buck-ass naked, and it is fairly certain you will
carry nothing out, including titles and status, when you leave. Everything
in between is just fluctuation. Get over it. Get used to it.
In the end, we're all dead anyway. In the interim, let us audaciously
take complete responsibility for our own lives and fortune. Let us never
give-up and never give-in, and ever go armed.
What caliber?
Take your pick... it all depends!
John S. Farnam

Where Environmental Data Meets Health Data
The Oregon Environmental Public Health Tracking (Oregon Tracking) Program is working to develop a statewide network of health and environmental data that will drive actions to improve the health of communities. Oregon is one of 24 grantees funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that comprise a larger national network of tracking programs that feed into the national Tracking Network.
The Oregon Tracking Program is part of Environmental Public Health in the Center for Health Protection.
Previous projects by the Tracking Network have improved information technology through better infrastructure, expanded environmental public health tracking capacity and trained public health workers.
By bringing together environmental and health information sources, scientists, communities, policymakers and the public, we will be better equipped to answer fundamental questions about the relationships between environmental exposures and health effects.
Oregon Tracking is a program within the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority and is funded by the CDC.
Provide Information that Drives Actions to Improve Health
The mission of Oregon Tracking is to develop information systems, analytical tools, staff expertise and an internet-accessible library of integrated environmental hazard, environmental exposure and human health outcome data and information. We will share this resource with partners and stakeholders to raise awareness of environmental health concerns and drive actions to improve public health.

AirTalk for June 24, 2010
It costs over $200,000 to raise a child
Alex Wong/Getty Images
Russ Balmer of Bethesda, Maryland holds up his four-month-old son, Russ Jr., after a news conference on family health history at the National Press Club November 8, 2004 in Washington, DC.
These days, raising a child does not come cheap. In fact, it costs 22 percent more to raise a kid now than it did in 1960. In a recent study called "Expenditures on Children by Families," The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that a middle-income, two-parent family that gave birth to a baby in 2009 will spend around $11,650 to $13,530 annually until the child is 17 years old. That amounts to $222,360 in total. But, what's really behind this increase in cost? Are more parents are choosing to place their children in private schools? And, kids today are peer-pressured into having the newest technological gadgets – leaving indulgent parents with empty pockets. Are there more doting parents now than in 1960? Where are increased child-rearing expenses coming from?

by Mark Jones
I think I'm a pretty smart person and shopper, and I'm always on the lookout for good value for my money. I also like to think of myself as a shrewd steward. Sometimes these ways of viewing myself conflict with each other.
When I'm looking for good value for my money, typically I'm looking for what's in my best interest. After all, who else is going to look out for me? I do many of the things I've been taught, read about, or seen others do including comparison shopping, belonging to warehouse clubs, shopping online, and even recently using my phone to compare prices. All this to say, I'm trying to practice "a penny saved is a penny earned."
At times, however, I find that this focus and mentality leads me to think of "me" just a little too much. I have also grown to learn and believe that God owns it all, and I'm just a steward (manager) of what he has provided me. If it really isn't mine in the first place, then my focus on trying to figure out what is best for me might just lead me to compromise my other belief that I'm just a manager of what God has provided.
Since I was a child, I have been a member of a credit union as my family had discovered the value of members helping other members. When I went to college, I joined ECCU, which was 28 years ago. After college, I worked in regular banks before coming to work at ECCU, and I certainly can see a huge difference in perspective. At the banks where I worked, increasing shareholder value or the bottom line was the more important financial objective. It wasn't that we didn't care about our customers; it was that we served them so we could make a bigger profit. In a sense, it was like asking, "What's in it for me?" first, before trying to take care of the customers.
Since coming to ECCU as an employee, I have never looked back on my days of working for a bank. Not that those banks are bad, they aren't; but my world view of money is better served within the structure of a credit union. You see, at ECCU every member is an equal owner, and our structure forces us to only serve other evangelical Christian individuals, churches, schools and parachurch organizations.
In Acts, we read about the first Christians, who really practiced community and in doing so sold everything they had to ensure that the community was taken care of. While we certainly don't live in that type of environment today, I fully believe being a part of a credit union, especially ECCU, allows me to help accomplish something that is bigger than me and support the evangelical Christian community. It isn't about "what's in it for me?", but rather just one person trying to use God's resources in a way that can advance the kingdom for his glory. That's what ECCU is all about to me. It is all of us coming together, getting something of value for ourselves but also partnering with others to accomplish something much bigger than we could ever do by ourselves; and certainly something that could never happen if I only dealt with a bank.
So, why is it important for people like you and me to come together under the umbrella of ECCU and help serve over 3,000 ministries that impact the world for Christ, keeping our funds on deposit to help make that happen? For me, one big reason is that it helps me be the shrewd steward I long to be.

Professional Compensation Committee Meeting Minutes
2005 Annual Spring Meeting
The Professional Compensation Committee's Meeting at the ABI's Annual Spring Meeting was highlighted by a presentation by Committee Members Ed Malpass and Steve Schwaber on Professional Compensation Issues for Small Practitioners. The presentation addressed the numerous practice issue, financing smaller firms in bankruptcy cases including, staffing, expense, fee management and practice management issues. Ed and Steve's presentation was well received and involved a great deal of audience participation.
During the business portion of the Professional Compensation Committee Meeting, it was announced that James D. Sweet of Murphy Desmond SC will be stepping down as Co-chair of the Professional Compensation Committee after his three year term in office ended at the conclusion of the annual meeting. Jim has been instrumental in providing leadership for the numerous and important projects which the Professional Compensation Committee has undertaken in the past three years including, the recently published handbook for non-attorney professionals: "Getting Paid: Retention and Compensation Bankruptcy Case as a Guide for Non-Attorney Professionals." Jim's hard work and dedication have greatly strengthened the Professional Compensation Committee and although he is departing as a Co-chair of the committee, Jim will remain active in the committee's work and efforts.
Replacing Jim as Co-chair of the committee is Thomas A. Morrow, a director of AlixPartners LLC. Tom is highly experienced restructuring and turnaround professional whose engagements have included working as CRO of Core Mark and on the Kmart Bankruptcy. Tom is also a member of the board of directors of the Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors. Tom is also the first non-attorney named as a co-chair of the Professional Compensation Committee.
Further, as noted above, the committee's handbook on the hiring and compensation process for non-attorney professionals "Getting Paid" went on sale at the annual meeting. This book was the culmination of months of hard work by numerous Committee Members including Chip Bowles, Ed Malpass, Steve Schwaber, James Sweet, Mark Williams, Faye Knowles, Mitch Ryan, Bebe Barton, Richard Carmody, John Ames and Harry Greenfield. The book was also generously sponsored by Adams and Reese LLP; AlixPartners LLC; Fredrikson & Byron PA; FTI Corporate Finance; Greenebaum Doll & McDonald PLLC; King & Spalding LLP; Mesirow Financial Consulting LLC; Murphy Desmond SC and Norman, Wood, Kendrick & Turner.
Finally, members of the committee were given a brief update as to the progress of the ABI Chapter 11 Professional Fee Study ("Fee Study"). At the present time, the Fee Study's reporter, Steven Lubben of Seaton Hall University School of Law, has selected the cases to be studied in the various divisions and, is currently in the process of gathering information and critical pleadings in those cases for his evaluation and empirical research input. Further updates on the Fee Study will be provided periodically to members of the Professional Compensation Committee as well as the ABI at large.
Finally, it was announced at the Professional Compensation Committee Meeting that its Winter Leadership Program will be a joint presentation with the Financial Advisors Committee and Litigation Committee. At the present time, the tentative nature of this three committee program will include a case study and mock trial of an actual objection to professional fees, a presentation of critical changes made in the area of professional compensation by the new law and, a panel discussion of compensation issues from actual bosses who employ and pay professional's bills.
2004 Winter Leadership Conference
The committee will be teaming up with the Commercial Fraud Task Force to present "Court Oversight of Creditor Professional Fees in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases: Urban Myth or Developing Practice Area," a discussion of issues relating to the allowance of creditor's professional fees in chapter 7 and chapter 13 cases. In light of the increasing frequency of contracts that provide for attorney or "collection fees" in the world of consumer finance and the growing trend toward "nationalization" of consumer creditor practice in consumer bankruptcy cases, this is a topic of increasing importance to both debtor and creditor counsel. In addition, a review of "Waiver and Disclosure Issues in Bankruptcy Proceedings: Fleming, Jore, 11 U.S.C. §329 and Beyond," will be discussed, as well as important developments in the "Area of Disclosure by Court-appointed Counsel in Bankruptcy Proceedings," which will focus on the obligations of debtor's counsel in consumer cases under 11 U.S.C. §329 and the developing impact of the recent decisions of Fleming and Jore in business proceedings.
2004 Annual Spring Meeting
On April 17, 2004, the Professional Compensation Committee conducted a joint educational program with the Ethics and Mass Torts Committees. This was the first tri-committee meeting at ABI that encompassed back-to-back time slots. Thus, the program lasted about 2.3 hours with a short break between sessions. Short business meetings for each committee followed the program. The program consisted of a panel discussion of a variety of substantive, compensation and ethics issues in mass tort cases, some of which are peculiar to these types of cases. We were fortunate to have three experienced panelists, each of whom has had intensive exposure to the issues in these types of cases: Hon. Leslie J. Tchaikovsky, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Northern District of California; Theodore L. "Ted" Freedman, Kirkland & Ellis, New York; and Robert M. "Bob" Fishman, Shaw, Gussis, Fishman, Glantz & Wolfson LLC, Chicago. The panel discussion was moderated by Richard P. Carmody, Adams and Reese/Lange Simpson LLP of Birmingham, Ala. Also participating were the committee co-chairs: Richard "Rick" Meth, Pitney, Hardin LLP of Morristown, N.J. (Ethics); and James D. Sweet, Murphy & Desmond of Madison, Wis. and C. R. "Chip" Bowles Jr., Greenbaum, Doll & McDonald PLLC of Louisville, Ky. (Professional Compensation). Ted Freedman is one of the co-chairs of the Mass Tort Committee. Unfortunately, Hon. Judith K. Fitzgerald, Chief Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania, was unable to attend because of family illnesses (though she was instrumental in planning the program).
The panelists discussed the following issues:
2003 Winter Leadership Conference
The joint meeting of the Ethics and Professional Compensation Committees featured an excellent presentation by Roberta DeAngelis, Acting Region 3 U.S. Trustee, John Tittle of Crossroads LLC, Robert Rosenberg of Latham & Watkins, and William H. Schorling of Klett Rooney Lieber & Schorling. An outline of the presentation and the remaining meeting agenda is set forth below.
A. Presentation: "The Service Professional's Nightmare: What to Do if Your Client Files for Bankruptcy, and How to Avoid Getting There..."
2003 Annual Spring Meeting
The latest meeting of the Professional Compensation Committee was highlighted by a presentation of Jonathan Friedlander of the Chicago office of Kirkland and Ellis entitled "Accounts Receivable and Retainer Management Lessons from Pillowtex," which addressed possible responses to the numerous employment and professional compensation issues raised by the Third Circuit's decision in In re Pillowtex, 304 F.3d 246 (3rd Cir. 2002), and was based on his article of the same name published in the December/January 2003 issue of the ABI Journal. Jonathan discussed the various problems raised by Pillowtex and offered several possible solution to avoid the economically painful result suffered by the attorneys in Pillowtex.
In the business portion of the meeting, the committee discussed the status of its proposed employment and fee handbook for non-attorney professionals and decided that a new round of chapter drafts would be circulated for review by the authors of the chapters to further refine the final project, which is expected to be completed prior to the Winter Leadership Conference.
The second topic of discussion concerned what steps the committee could take to further define what constitutes connection for purposes of disclosure under Bankruptcy Rule 2016. It was decided that the committee would approach the Ethics Committee about a joint approach to this issue.
2002 Winter Leadership Conference
The Professional Compensation Committee of ABI met at 8:00 a.m. on Dec. 7, 2002, in conjunction with the ABI Winter Leadership Conference in Tucson, Ariz. A roster of those attending is available on request. The meeting was co-chaired by John Ames and Jim Sweet.
The first order of business was a discussion of the Handbook Project started by the committee in late 2001. An outline of the Handbook was adopted at the committee's Washington, D.C., meeting in April 2002, and some of the chapters were assigned to volunteers. Other chapters remained unassigned. The discussion resulted in a modification of the Handbook outline, and the assignment of the remaining chapters to volunteers. The balance of the Handbook discussion was deferred to the end of the meeting so the committee's educational program could proceed.
Chip Bowles then made two educational presentations: the first on how to get paid and avoid being conflicted out of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, and the second on the concept of "ordinary course" professionals.
Following Mr. Bowles's presentation, the main committee meeting was adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
Following adjournment, a subcommittee, comprised of the volunteer authors of various chapters of the Handbook, met to establish protocols and timetables for completion of the work on the Handbook. A copy of a memo summarizing the protocols and time tables is attached to these minutes.
2001 Winter Leadership Conference
The meeting began with the introduction of the morning's speaker, Mr. C.R. "Chip" Bowles Jr., a lawyer with the firm of Greenbaum Doll & McDonald PLLC in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Bowles spoke on the topic of "Noisy Withdrawals and the Res Judicata Effect of Awards of Final Fee Applications."
Following Mr. Bowles's presentation, the committee turned to old business. For about one year, the committee has been discussing the idea of creating a handbook that could be used by debtor and committee legal counsel when the need for the employment of additional professionals in a bankruptcy case arises. The committee believes that there is a need for such a handbook to assist attorneys to explain to other professionals the process for getting appointed, and the process that must be followed to be sure those professionals are paid. The committee, by unanimous consent, outlined the contents of this handbook. While the details are yet to be firmed up, the working outline of the handbook is as follows:
Part 1—Retention
Part 2—Compensation
The committee delegated to the co-chairs the task of editing the publication and seeking approval from ABI to go forward with the project. The co-chairs, once the publication is approved, were also delegated the authority to assign the writing of various chapters to members of the committee.
The committee also briefly discussed the seminar topics for the 2002 conferences. Various suggestions were made. The co-chairs were delegated the responsibility to contact various members of the committee to finalize a topic for the April conference in Washington, D.C.
1999 Winter Leadership Conference
The Professional Compensation Committee voted to present its own CLE program at the next available ABI general meeting (either in Washington, D.C., in the April/May time frame, or at the next Winter Leadership Conference). The working title of the seminar is, "Now That You Have Your Order, How Do You Get Paid?" Steve Schwaber (San Marino, Calif.) will "host" the program, and he has reported to James Sweet (Murphy & Desmond S.C., Madison, Wis.) that two other committee members are willing to work with him on the program. Mr. Schwaber was to provide the committee with a working draft of the program topics in January. At that time, he was also to provide the names of the other committee members who will assist with the presentation.
On a related matter, Mr. Sweet met for an hour with Richard P. Carmody (Lange, Simpson, Robinson & Somerville, Birmingham, Ala.) after the meeting to discuss a CLE program to be presented jointly by the Professional Compensation and Ethics Committees. (Mr. Carmody is a co-chair of the Ethics Committee.) The joint program will deal with issues of disclosure, recent cases relating to non-disclosure and disgorgement, retention issues and related topics. As soon as we have the details about the program from Mr. Carmody, the committee can meet to decide how and if it will proceed. Edward Malpass (Malpass & Associates, Irvine, Calif.) will head up the committee's brochure project. Its working title is, "What Every Professional Needs to Know About Dealing with a Bankruptcy Estate." It will be geared to accountants, turnaround specialists, realtors, bank counsel or anyone else looking to be paid from a bankruptcy estate. It will be a handbook on how to get appointed, how to make appropriate disclosures, how to apply for fees and the myriad other relationships a professional has with a bankruptcy estate. It will also include forms. Mr. Malpass will provide a working draft of an outline.
The committee voted unanimously to urge ABI to press Congress for an amendment to §330 of the Bankruptcy Code to re-insert the phrase, "...or to the debtor's attorney..." back into §330(a). There are now decisions around the country that state that the elimination of the phrase in the most recent legislative change was an oversight, and clearly the section makes no sense as currently written. Mr. Sweet is to write a letter to ABI Executive Director Sam Gerdano for presentation to the ABI Executive Committee regarding ABI taking an affirmative stance on this proposed amendment. It was suggested that it may be useful for the committee to undertake a research project regarding all of the local rules relative to the application process for the approval of fees and costs in a bankruptcy case. Some districts have no local rules at all, while others overwhelm you with local rules. It was then suggested that many of the "local rules" are not really local rules at all. Rather, they are U.S. Trustee "local guidelines" that become the "common law" of a particular jurisdiction.
The discussion on this topic then turned to the issue of R. 2016(b) and R. 2014(a) disclosures, and the U.S. Trustee's participation in the growing body of law regarding these disclosure rules. The idea for a possible joint CLE program with the Ethics Committee relating to these disclosures grew out of this conversation. Finally, it was suggested that Mr. Sweet should attempt to determine who, within the national U.S. Trustee structure, is in charge of the official fee guidelines. Once this person is identified, he is to contact the person and try to establish a liaison between the committee and the U.S. Trustee's office regarding the issues of disclosures and fees. One committee member suggested that it might be possible to draft some "model" disclosures that would provide counsel a "safe harbor," or at least come up with some proposed changes to the guidelines or the Rules to guide lawyers regarding their disclosure responsibilities. It was also suggested that the contact person at the U.S. Trustee's office could be included on the panel of the joint seminar with the Ethics Committee.
1999 Annual Spring Meeting
First the committee discussed a project being headed up by Peter Franklin at Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell in Dallas to update the working papers generated by the committee in connection with the extensive report on professional compensation published in the early '90s. (The report is on ABI Online at http://www.abiworld.org/abidata/online/TCnatrep.html.) Anyone interested in working on this project should contact Peter Franklin at (214) 740-8446.
At the last committee meeting, Ed Malpass of Irvine, Calif. suggested putting together a compensation guide to be published by ABI. The focus of this project will be to put together a step-by-step handbook for the practitioner regarding having his or her employment and compensation approved by the bankruptcy court. This project was discussed with Rick Meth, ABI Vice President-Publications, and awaits approval. Please contact Ed Malpass at (714) 453-8100 if you would like to work on this project.
Also at our meeting last December, Steve Schwaber suggested that the committee look into the ethical considerations with getting paid after the bankruptcy court has entered its order approving fees. Steve has agreed to make a presentation on this issue at the 1999 Winter Leadership Conference in La Quinta, Calif.
The meeting concluded with an presentation by Robert B. Millner from the Chicago office of Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal on the subject of retainers as cash collateral. The committee thanks Rob for his presentation on this interesting and timely issue.

10 of the Biggest, Boldest Builds of 2012
From staggeringly large bridges to stadiums to towers, 2012 was a year of grand designs.
By Tim Newcomb
Russky Bridge, Russia
At a total length of over 10,000 feet, the $1 billion Russky Bridge connecting Vladivostok to Russky Island in southeastern Russia became the world's longest cable-stayed bridge when it was completed in July. Russky uses 168 cable stays from its towers to support the load of the bridge, and pylons over 1000 feet high to anchor the cables. Just the central channel of the bridge (there are three segments) is made of a four-lane roadway more than 3600 feet in length, which is about the length of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge's longest cables, which are also the longest on any bridge in the world, stretch nearly 2000 feet.

Shia LaBeouf Being Treated for Alcohol Addiction

We wish him well.
It's a side show! It's therapy! It's a really queasy combo of the two.
A writer who observed the heroin-tortured musician during his 'Rehab' shoot sees there are predictable consistencies in the behavior of the addicted.
That is not a valid reason for rehab, apparently.
Famous talk-doctors just ain't what they used to be.
TV Land has greenlighted "Happily Divorced," written and executive produced by "The Nanny" co-creators, Fran Drescher and Peter Marc Jacobsen.
"The issue I have with relationships is related to a hole I am trying to fill in my heart," the preeminent Tiger mistress explains.
That's what her affair with Tiger Woods was about. Romance.
"Mad crush" on Dr. Drew is behind her decision to join 'Rehab.'
This was even more inevitable than her upcoming stint on 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
It located Tila Tequila, though.

Social networking sites have different audiences. Each one caters towards a different crowd, and as a business looking to do Internet marketing you need to take that into consideration. For instance, if you sell business to business, or something that business executives would use, you wouldn't want to use myspace or Facebook, you would want to use LinkedIn. Facebook is for college students and slightly older people, whereas myspace is for younger people for the most part. LinkedIn, as you could probably guess, is for professionals looking to network. There are hundreds of other sites out there, so just choose one that suits your needs.

Fabulous Recipes for a Family Reunion
When all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins get together, it's a special occasion. And all special occasions call for fantastic food. We gathered a list of recipes that are perfect for your family reunion menu. Enjoy!
Is your reunion outdoors? Use some of our favorite picnic recipes, too.
Classic Hamburger
Slow-cooked onions add moisture and flavor to these lean beef burgers. A quick blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and vinegar makes a perfect tangy, sweet, and creamy "special sauce" for this burger. We love the dill relish here, but use sweet relish if you prefer it. Serve with sweet potato fries.

Students who declare a major in Environmental Geosciences must register with the department and work out a specific program of studies with the chairperson or an assigned advisor. Course programs can be tailored to the student's needs and interests with the aid of an academic advisor. Other requirements may be modified in cases where past performance indicates superior ability.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Holiday Inn Vienna City Hotel
very nice hotelfrom GreeceCosta
We used the metro for getting arount and it was very easy, just one station to the centre (you have to walk about 5 minutes from the hotel to the nearest metro station). There are few restaurants near the hotel and some shops for the basic shopping. Over all an excellent vacation in a very nice hotel.
Good value at the holiday Innfrom bryanll
The breakfast buffet is very good with a wide selection of items both hot and cold.
Rooms are clean and comfortable with controllable heating, and windows that open if needed.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The area seems to lack a range of restaurants but the naschmarket has lots of small cafes for lunches and the centre of vienna has many good dining opportunities.
For good value culture, book sets at the Volksoper (easy to get to via u-bahn.line 4 and 6), and have a preformance open sandwich snack at the cafe opposite the entrance.
If you are going for 3-4 days a Vienna card will be very useful and they can be purchased in the the airport at the infomation desk just beyond the arrivals gate.
Fabulous Breakfast and Comfortable Rooms...from jaye_w
Rooms and Cleanliness
I had a corner room so it might have appeared larger than the others. Not huge in size but cosy. Bathroom as marbled and rather big! Had the usual amenities and hair dryer! Room was clean and bed though not overall comfortable was adequate.
The buffet breakfast was included in the rate and was of fabulous quality. My husband and myself were not expecting such a sumptuous spread having travelled and stayed in other hotels in Europe prior to this trip. There was a wide selection of cheeses and cold cuts as well as pastries, choices of teas and juices. Even Champagne! All free flow!
Service was good… despite the hotel not having Housekeeping services at all hours.. the receptionist was very accommodating and brought sheets to our room when we requested for a change at around midnight! We appreciated that.
Will definately consider staying @ this place again.
p/s: There's also a convenience store just down the street for just-in-case moments!
a great place to stayfrom bdelad
got a room in the garden area, which was really nice, the room was really big, and also the bath.
the service was great, was allowed to do early check in and late check out without paying extra charge.
breakfast cost 15 euro, so i didnt use it, especailly in vienna when u can find so many great bakeries, its a lot of money.
i would love to get back to this hotel in the next time, also located in a nice place, 5 mins walk to the u-bahn (u4).
Great Location for Pricefrom capsfan2002
My kind of Hotel.from fflyer
Priority prepaid rate got an upgrade to a 2 room suite overlooking the courtyard, spotless marble bath,comfortable beds, Euro-modern furniture without clutter, and very affordable.
Also and excellent breakfast although a bit crowded with a tour group from the US on a feeding frenzy.
Hotel staff was wonderful.
A short walk to the U4 with 1 stop to the Ring.
Lots of neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores, and a pharmacy (for those of us who had traveled in India prior to arriving in Vienna).
From now on this will be my hotel of choice in Vienna. A Holiday Inn - who knew.
Excellent Valuefrom Capital Culture
In addition to being close to the splendors of the city market, there are grocery stores and other shops close by to pick up things for inexpensive meals between restaurant splurges.
Good location, especially if you don't mind a bit of a walk. I walked to the Opera, Musikverein, and all the other sightseeing spots.
Excellent breakfast buffet -- including champagne if you care to go back to bed!
I chose Holiday Inn's pay-in-advance option, so I had an excellent rate. Rooms are well-tended and comfortable, not a lot of extra space.
Avoid the rooms on the street sidefrom harmonie
Well situated on a 5 minutes walk from the subway station of Kettenbrückengasse (on the direct line to Palace Schönbrunn and just one stop from the Karlsplatz, where a typical market takes place every day.
Nicely decorated commons, rooms and bathrooms + excellent breakfast buffet.
We had bad luck receiving a room on the street side on the 2nd floor. The first night we both stood up to verify if the window was not open because of the disturbing traffic noise from the street. My wife even slept one night in the bath tub...
Very agreeablefrom jonorose
Excellent breakfast.
Great location - lots of good restaurants very near by, and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the 1st district.
Great value for money.
Charming hotel, courteous stafffrom A TripAdvisor Member
Top Local Tips for Vienna
Cafe Schwarenberg on Schwarenbergstrasse A great place for a meal before a concert at the musik house. It has the best weinersnitzel we've ever eaten and we went back after the concert for coffee. Well worth looking out for. Very reasonable prices too.
Take the train The train from the airport is most convenient. We used our 3 day travelcards for part of the journey and you only have to pay the difference, around 2 Euros to cover the area outside the travelcard zone. This does not apply to the CAT Service.
arriver à Vienne N'hésitez pas à choisir le CAT pour vous rendre à Vienne de l'aéroport, ce train relie l'aéroport au centre de Vienne en 16 mns et le métro Viennois est très agréable, pratique d'accès et relativement bon marché

NSO Family Concert: The Composer is Dead
Acclaimed composer Nathaniel Stookey brings his uproarious collaboration with best-selling children's writer Lemony Snicket to the Kennedy Center.
- Sun., May 9, 2010
- Concert Hall
- 1 hour
- $18.00
Please use the event calendar to search for current events.
Music by Nathaniel Stookey
Lyrics by Lemony Snicket
Edwin Outwater, conductor
What's the difference between composing and decomposing?
That's a mystery for the inspector to figure out in The Composer Is Dead, a gripping whodunit that makes every member of the Orchestra a suspect in their composer's untimely finale. Acclaimed composer Nathaniel Stookey brings his uproarious collaboration with best-selling children's writer Lemony Snicket, which engages listeners to join the inspector as he interrogates the entire symphonic arrangement regarding their whereabouts at the time of the crime. Starting with the strings and working his way to the percussion, the inspector finds sound alibis and dead ends down every sonic avenue. But one thing's for sure: nobody is leaving the Concert Hall until this mystery is solved!
Come early for the Musical Instrument "Petting Zoo." An hour before each NSO Family Concert, young concertgoers can get up close and hands-on with the instruments they'll see played on the stage--from violins, trumpets, and oboes to trombones and percussion--in the Kennedy Center Atrium. A project of the Women's Committee for the NSO.
Stay after the 3 p.m. concerts for a Kids' Chat. Following the 3 p.m. concert, young audience members can ask questions and hear engaging stories in an up-close-and-personal talk with the concert artists.
Group of 20 or more? Group Sales offers special terms and discounts for most performances.
