TechCrunch:Expanded DMCA Still Has Limits
timothy posted about a year and a half ago | from the that-which-is-not-expressly-allowed dept.29
An anonymous reader writes "Last week, in a blow to the content industry, the Ninth Circuit granted Veoh a pyrrhic victory against Universal Music Group and clarified the scope of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's safe harbor provisions for online service providers. By adopting a position taken by the Second Circuit in Viacom v. YouTube, the decision harmonized the law in two intellectually influential jurisdictions and set the standard in New York and California, national hubs for content creation and technological innovation. Going forward, tech startups will have more room to innovate while facing decreased risk of crippling financial liability. An article by two IP lawyers published today in TechCrunch simplifies and explains the scope of safe harbor protection in light of these rulings.

Critic & User Reviews
EA Messed UP 08, 07 was the Best

What made 07 great was the use of the wii remote and nunchuk. 07 controls were mapped in a way that felt like you were really playing football. It was almost like virtual reality when you would bust through the line with your running back pushing forward your wii remote and nunchuk, then immediately stiff-arm the safety as you ran for a touchdown.
Now on 08, I pushed forward my remote without the nunchuk to break tackles and my back tries to stiff arm. I then try to stiff arm and my player surges forward to break tackles.
Then EA takes the sprint button away from the nunchuck and puts it on the wii remote and as I am sprinting to the end zone my player starts to celebrate and gets tackled because they mapped celebration on the same button.
EA took the best football game made last year and ruined it for this year.

EA disappointed me this year

From when I began playing it, I enjoyed it. I mean, it felt like 07 did, which is good. The gameplay is just like it always has been; close to top notch.
New this year is a party mode where you can play minigames with your friends. I played it a bit with a friend, and it was alright, but I wouldn't mind if it was scrapped next year. The games were fun and kept our attention for a few minutes, but after a while they got dull and repetitive so we switched back to regular gameplay.
The graphics in the game are moderate. They look little or no better than 07's, which is a little surprising. Glitches are existent as well, such as throwing the ball right after a snap without intending to and having a player run nonstop during minigames. There were a lot more glitches I read about, but didn't have experience with.
This year, EA left out some core features that I really loved, like create-a-play and a character editor/creator. I was completely disappointed with this. But it didn't matter to me very much, because the real draw for me this year was online play.
This is where the game really fails. There was no problem getting online, and the format seemed really great and easy to use. I tried to start a game, someone joined, so I started it up. Then I got disconnected from the opponent. I tried getting into a game for about an hour one night, and then an hour the next night. I kept getting disconnected from the opponent. I went on the Madden 08 forums to see what the deal was and everyone else was having the same problem. After two hours of attempts to get online, I only got into one game, and I was disconnected within the first minute of the game.
This game isn't worth trying. It's glitchy, doesn't even have working online play, missing features, and barely a change from 07. This game only gets a 6 is in hopes that online will eventually work.
Very Good
Some improvements, but some problems as well...

Madden 08 is a lot of the same with a few changes and improvements. Graphically, there isn't much difference between this and EA's 07 attempt with the console launch. Not what you'd expect from the Wii, but nothing to be too worried about either.
Sound is the same, as well. More of the same. Lines repeated, but not so much that it becomes painful. If you've been okay with the sound and graphics of the previous versions, there won't be any surprises here.
Essentially, it all boils down to gameplay. The motion controls GENERALLY work well. There is an adjustment period, because it's not your typical gamepad Madden, but it's pretty easy to pick up. The dumbed-down control mode is good for players new to the series, as well, although I don't find it to be that useful.
Superstar mode can be fun, although extremely frustrating in my case--I picked a receiver, so my "superstar" only plays sometimes. And from what I can tell, there is no way of calling for the ball (requesting a pass from your QB) so there's no guarantee that when you're in you'll even REALLY get involved in the play.
These problems aside, the online mode is the newest feature to the Wii version of the game, which uses EA Nation to organize and coordinate the game. It seems like, after a week or two, this will be a good quality online game. The communication is minimal, but there are no friend codes, and the lobby system seems sufficient for finding friends or opponents.
The online game does lag a bit at this point. I think after EA finishes work on their servers, there should be no problem, however. After the online game starts running better, this will get my approval for a quality Madden outing.
Thank You EA

Now to the review. I think this game is awesome. I have not tried online play yet because I'm a franchise mode person. But with the controls being the way they are it gives you a little more realistic feel to the game. The controls do take some getting used to and I think that is why certain people are experiencing glitches. The game brings all of the same excitement that Madden always brings but is just so much more fun, and in my opinon, realistic than before. All in all it is Madden with the same improvements that come along every year they release Madden.
A Step Up from 07

So I rented '08, and they fixed 75% of my issues. The motion controls were still fun, they aren't overused or forced, and the game just got better. 1)EA added Online support. I've only played one online game, but it was almost issue free (except that I got my butt kicked). 2) Kicking field goals is easier this year and doesn't feel complicated. 4) The Bears are awesome. My one complaint (#3) is that the graphics still could be better... they look almost the same as 07.
Madden 08 has lots of depth in the Franchise mode and Superstar modes. Plus they've added party mode (which is kinda fun in bigger groups). And they added a more simplistic control scheme (the nunchuck isn't required for this control scheme) that makes it possible for my non-gamer wife to play the game with me and have a good time.
Football fans definitely need to check this game out. EA definitely spent some time improving this game. It doesn't feel like the same regurgitated game from last year with the additions (some of which I have neglected to mention here).
My only question is why is it so difficult to just play a season mode of some type? It seems like this is hidden inside Franchise mode after skipping training camp.
I liked it so much that I kept it. Enjoy!

so here's the breakdown of the madden for wii.
Presentation: 7-they could've added the stuff from the next gen consoles and made the game more realistic, even if it's not HD.
Graphics: 7- looks good but could look a better.
Gameplay: 10-hike, scan, throw catch TD!
Depth: 10 online play, many mini games, trivia, party mode, a telestrator!
Sound: 9- crowd is better than previous years.
I give it an 8, it is fun to play once u get used to it.

best wii football game

madden 08 has amazing gameplay, and great announcing. however, people who dont play football wont love it, and the multiplayer is just average. but since the game has such a good franchise and superstar mode, you will get really hooked playing by yourself. in franchise mode, there is really in depth managing and trades and stuff like that. its really amazing, especially during the "offseason". super star mode is great too, except that you cant sign contracts. other than that, its really fun to create your own player on your team and try to do achievements to get into the hall of fame. however, after a few seasons, this can get a bit old, but its still a great mode.
bottom line: this madden 08 video game is for gamers who like realistic football games. it has the best football graphics for the wii, but the multiplayer really isnt in depth. for a fun football game, pick up madden 08

Madden 08 review-Wii's best sports game?

It has online play, and I didn't get good enough to play anyone online, so not sure how the wi-fi works on this game. but it was a blast to play with multi-player. 20 min of the control tutorial, and you are in!!! I am not a football fan and really loved this game, it's worth checking out. The voice-overs are somewhat repetitive. You have an option to play with the wii remote only, but it's not fun cause it's too easy, the computer does everything for you, but a good option if your grandma is playing you.

Also, the gameplay, especially the running, is very confusing, and is too fast. It's a bit difficult to figure out what's going on out there until the play is over.
That being said, the passing via Wii remote is incredibly fun, and that, in and of itself, does make the game rentable.

The controls, while interesting and easy to learn, did not really change the game that much. It's fun to run and juke with the nunchuck, but throwing seemed rather mundane. I found it somewhat difficult to select a different receiver during the play as well, but I'm sure that just takes time to get used to.
Overall the game was not disappointing, but the motion control doesn't quite add enough to make me prefer Madden on the Wii as opposed to other consoles.

Anne Hathaway's portrayal of dying prostitute Fantine in Les Miserables is one of the year's most-talked about performances. It's so intense that even the actress herself can't watch it without tearing up!
"When I saw it, I did cry, but not because of what I was doing [on screen]. It was because I was back in the process of making it," Hathaway told MTV News.
"For me, when I see it... it brings me a lot closer to Fantine. She's so broken that I actually have to protect myself a little bit," said Hathaway of her character, who sings the iconic song, "I Dreamed a Dream."
It sounds like Hathway has some post-traumatic stress from making Les Miserables, which is not too surprising, considering what she went through. In order to play Fantine, she stopped eating for all thirteen days of shooting, chopped off her hair and had what she called "a break with reality."
"I was in such a state of deprivation -- physical and emotional. When I got home, I couldn't react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again," she told Vogue.
Why the extreme dedication? It turns out that the role holds deep personal significance for Hathaway, whose mother understudied Fantine in the American tour of Les Miserables when Anne was a girl. Watching her mother's performance, Hathaway told New York, magazine, "I sobbed so hard that the woman next to me -- who didn't know that it was my mother I was seeing -- gave me her pack of tissues."
"I remember everything about that night: I remember what the weather was like, I remember what I was wearing. It's one of the greatest moments of my life, and certainly one of the most definitive moments of my life," Hathaway revealed. "That was the night I decided to become an actress."
Watch the iVillage interview with Anne Hathaway, below!

Hi there,
well, not far away from what you want is what I did in this project: http://congress.automotiveit.com/
It´s the fullscreen slider element with only one image (so it doesn´t slide) and the top navigation and logo is set to display:none via CSS.
Or you can simply do something like I did with my own website: http://www.der-prinz.de/ where I used the full screen slider again and the transparency options for the logo and menu header.
Hope this inspires you

Hi Josue,
that is AWESOME!
The only thing that´s missing is I can´t add custom css to columns because columns don´t have an editor. What I need to achieve is what you see in the screenshot here: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/0v9ui4zywfrlc68/index.html
You can see that any of the three columns has an individual bg image. I did with this CSS for example:
#unternehmenkacheln .avia-builder-el-9 {background:url(images/bg-kacheln/kachel-team.jpg) no-repeat!important;background-size:cover!important;}
In this case .avia-builder-el-9 is the first column element inside a color section with the ID #unternehmenkacheln. That works as long as I don´t add/remove an element because then the class of the column changes. Maybe it´s not hte best idea to ad the bg image to the colum element itself but I have no other idea.
Any other idea how to create a box like this that has a bg image and can hold a text container element where I can add text and links etc.

I remember first seeing her in an Afterschool Special and, of course, came to love her on Bosom Buddies. Wendi Jo was talented, funny and helped broaden the standard definition of "sexy" or "attractive" for a whole generation. Like Dana Hill, she was a great talent who still had a lot more to give as a person and a performer when we lost her.
Answer: Thanks for that tribute. She was one of those great go-to gals (Kathy Najimy is another) who was not just a terrific comedic character actress, but a character as well who often made a show seem funnier than it really was. Just thinking of that acerbic, wry voice makes me smile. By all accounts, she was loved both on and off screen, and I'm only sorry Wendie Jo Sperber never got a show to call her own that would have made Wendie Jo Sperber the household name Wendie Jo Sperber so deserved to be ...

Wendie Jo Sperber with Tom Hanks
Wendie Jo Sperber, best known for playing cross-dressing Tom Hanks' confidante on the early-'80s sitcom Bosom Buddies, lost an eight-year battle with breast cancer on Tuesday. "The memory of Wendie Jo is that of a walking inspiration," says Hanks in a statement. "She met the challenges of her illness with love, cheer, joy and altruism. We are going to miss her as surely as we are all better for knowing her." Sperber's credits also included Michael J. Fox's big sister in all three Back to the Future movies.

Impaired driving kills thousands of motorists each year, and ad campaigns and increased police enforcement have done little to stop it from happening. When we say "impaired driving," most think about alcohol. But marijuana usage prior to getting behind the wheel can be just as dangerous.
Professors from Israel's Ben Gurion University wanted to see which was worse; drink driving or stoned driving. The university chose 14 students to participate in the study, which consists of a realistic driving environment that includes a 1600degree screen and a gold Cadillac STS simulator. Not surprisingly, the school didn't even need to advertise the study to get its test subjects. Apparently, some college-age students will readily participate in studies that involve alcohol or marijuana. Who knew?
The results of the study were less than surprising. The drivers that consumed vodka drinks drove faster while also being very cocky about their abilities. Pot smokers drove more slowly, but like the drunken drivers, they also swerved excessive and changed lanes a lot. The chronic crew also felt they were more aware of their impairment, which you may think is a good thing, but researchers say the detachment from reality is actually very dangerous.
So who wins the battle of drunken drivers verses stoned drivers? Well, nobody. They're both dangerous, unless you're in Israel behind the wheel of a gold Cadillac STS simulator.

Pranayama – The Practice
The breath is the most vital process of the body. It influences the activities of each, and every cell. And, most importantly, it is intimately linked with the performance of the brain. Human beings breathe about 15 times per minute, or 21,600 times per day. Respiration fuels the burning of oxygen, and glucose, producing energy to power every muscular contraction, glandular secretion, and mental process.
The breath is intimately linked to all aspects of human experience. Most people breathe incorrectly, using only a small part of their lung capacity. The breathing is then generally shallow", depriving the body of oxygen, and the prana essential to its good health. The first five practices given in this section are preparatory techniques which introduce correct breathing habits.
In addition, they help focus the awareness on the breathing process which is otherwise normally ignored. Practitioners develop sensitivity to the respiratory process, and retrain the muscles of the pulmonary cavity, enhancing their vital capacity, and preparing them for pranayama.
Rhythmic, deep, and slow respiration sublimates, and is stimulated by calm, content, states of mind. Irregular breathing disrupts the rhythms of the brain, and leads to physical, emotional, and mental blocks. These in turn, lead to inner conflicts, imbalances, personality disorders, destructive lifestyles, and disease. Pranayama establishes regular breathing patterns, breaking this negative cycle, and reversing the process.
It does so by taking control of the breath, and re-establishing the natural, relaxed rhythms of the body, and mind. Although breathing is mainly an unconscious process, conscious control of it may be taken at any time. Consequently, it forms a bridge between the conscious, and unconscious areas of the mind. Through the practice of pranayama, the energy trapped in neurotic, unconscious mental patterns may be released for use in more creative, and joyful activity.
Breathing and life span…. In addition to influencing the quality of life, the length, or quantity of life is also dictated by the rhythm of the respiration. The ancient yogis, and rishis studied nature in great detail. They noticed that animals with a slow breath rate such as pythons, elephants, and tortoises have long life spans. Whereas, those with a fast breathing rate. such as birds, dogs, and rabbits, live for only a few years.
From this observation they realized the importance of slow breathing for increasing the human lifespan. Those who breathe in short, quick gasps are likely to have a shorter life span than those who breathe slowly, and deeply. On the physical level, this is because the respiration is directly related to the heart. A slow breathing rate keeps the heart stronger, and better nourished, and contributes to a longer life.
Deep breathing also increases the absorption of energy by the pranamaya kosha, enhancing dynamism, vitality, and general wellbeing. Pranayama and the spiritual aspirant Pranayama practices, establish a healthy body by removing blockages in the pranamaya kosha, enabling an increased absorption of prana. The spiritual seeker, however. also requires tranquility of mind as an essential prelude to spiritual practice.
To this end, many pranayama techniques utilize kumbhaka, or breath retention, to establish control over the flow of prana, calming the mind, and controlling the thought process. Once the mind has been stilled, and prana flows freely in the nadis, and chakras, the doorway to the evolution of consciousness opens, leading the aspirant into higher dimensions of spiritual experience.
In The Science of Pranayama, Swami Sivananda writes, "There is an intimate connection between the breath, nerve currents, and control of the inner prana, or vital forces. Prana becomes visible on the physical plane as motion, and action, and on the mental plane as thought. Pranayama is the means by which a yogi tries to realize within his individual body, the whole cosmic nature, and attempts to attain perfection by attaining all the powers of the universe."

Student Transportation Inc. Recognizes Its Dedicated Employees
WALL, N.J., May 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Student Transportation Inc. ("STI") (TSX:STB) (Nasdaq:STB), North America's third-largest provider of school bus transportation services, honored its employees with a company-wide "Employee Appreciation Week" during April 22 – 26. With the company continuing to grow and expand throughout the United States and Canada, there are now almost 10,000 employees, including drivers, mechanics, and dispatchers, that make up Student Transportation Inc. and its subsidiaries, Student Transportation of America and Student Transportation of Canada. A video message was released at the beginning of the week featuring Chief Operating Officer Patrick Vaughan who shared his appreciation and recognized the company's employees for their dedication to service and commitment to safety.
STI also launched its Student Transportation Appreciation and Recognition ("STAR") Program which will recognize employees regularly for their special contributions, including a monthly feature on the company's website as part of the company's new Employee Spotlight initiative. The STAR Program was the brainchild of the STI Communications Council, and a direct result of the managers throughout North America coming together and wanting to acknowledge all of the great work that their employees do on a daily basis.
Employee Appreciation events took place throughout the week at Student Transportation's 128 locations across the United States and Canada. Events included catered breakfasts, lunches and cookouts, as well as prize raffles and awards ceremonies which also included school officials and community leaders, in addition to STI employees.Some of the more than 250 school districts served by STI also participated in the company-wide festivities. In Battle Ground, WA, over 200 people attended one Employee Appreciation celebration, including members of the school district, where STI employees were recognized and presented a plaque by the district for their skill and dedication. "Our employees are the backbone of our company and we wanted to express our gratitude for their dedication and care of the nearly one million students that we transport to and from school safely and on time each day," stated Mr. Vaughan.

Hey all,
I've recently been shooting my XD40 subcompact a lot more.
I forgot what a great gun this is. I'll address its best features below:
- So far, in its 6 years of service, it has 1500 rounds through it. Not a single FTF, FTE, or any sort of malfunction, no matter what I throw at it; it's eaten USA Ammo FMJs, Aguila FMJ, S&B FMJ, Wally-world WWB FMJ, Federal Champion FMJ, American Eagle FMJ, Hornady Crit Def, Gold Dots, PDX.
- At first, I had a hard time shooting this weapon accurately. The gun has a good amount of muzzle flip/recoil, but that's to be expected when shooting a high-powered cartridge from a subcompact platform. I can consistently hit 4" groups at 20 yards, which is plenty good for me!
- Reliability. I've never had to maintain the gun more than the standard field strip and clean after each range visit. Weapon has run like clockwork so far.
On top of all this, Springfield Armory's customer service team is simply outstanding. I emailed them 8:00 this morning about getting my gun refinished with their Melonite coating and getting a replacement recoil spring and plastic hard case. By 5 minutes till 4 PM I had a response stating that they were shipping me a new recoil spring and plastic case, and that they would provide me a FedEx prepaid box to ship my gun back to SA, and that the Melonite recoating would be free of charge. That is simply top-notch customer service!
Sure, there are other, lighter weight and more attractive weapons out there for CCW (because let's face it, the XD40SC is UGLY!), but I'll stick to my XD40SC. Nice and reliable, accurate, and great customer service...it's hard to beat that!

We all know about the importance of play for the emotional growth and development of children. It can enhance their imagination, increase social skills and boost self-confidence. So why don't we place more value on play for ourselves? According to a recent study by the Families and Work Institute, ½ of American women don't have enough time to spend on themselves and the activities they enjoy.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 320 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Schuffert Not a good time I've stayed is this hotel a few times so I am going to mark this visit down to "stuff happens." The room we were given had a guy doing repair work in it. You gave us another room. Both room service orders were incorrect and had to be fixed. It happens. The cleaning person was snippy and rude that we forgot to put the sign up that we were still there. And for the life of me, I could not get comfortable with the furniture. I'll take the hit for that one. We will be back. Our son lives within a mile of this hotel and this will be our place. This time was not real good. October 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by vasarah71 A Very Rough Night I was given a room in the annex, which is an older part of the hotel. You have to haul luggage up stairs as there is not an elevator to get there. The rooms are old. The paint was falling off the bathroom door. The hallway rugs are stained and dingy. And, to top it all of, the smoke detector chirped all night obviously due to a dead battery. Had I not arrived at midnight and been exhausted from the trip, I would have had someone come to fix it. However, I could not deal with that in the middle of the night. The room had vaulted ceilings and the smoke detector was at the top of the wall, so I could not even take it apart myself. Overall, not impressed with the quality of the room that I was provided. Not worth the money. October 19, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by lenny17 disappointing The check in line was over 20 minutes long. After getting to the front of the line, we lean red our room was not ready. The staff greeter did wok on the computer to switch our room. When we finally got to the room, we learned that it had not curtains on the window!! We had to shower and change for the wedding and then switch rooms!! This was very inconvenient. The morning breakfast the staff was very slow to accommodate. It took a long time to get coffee. Then after finally getting coffee, we realized they did not give us creamer. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fred60 Vernon is the greatest! First night was a little rough as my disability required an elevator and the room provided was not in a building that had one. Could not be accomodated as the tower was full. (It should be noted that I did not have this disability when the reservation was made or it would have been mentioned). Got a very nice room in the tower next to an elevator for nights 2-5. No coffee in the lobby in the morning on the weekend even though the wakeup call invited me to enjoy one. But Vernon, the shuttle driver, made up for any disappointments by going out of his way to assist me - and his knowledge of the area and positive can do attitude made the stay very comfortable. Special thanks to Vernon. Also, excellent conference accomodations. March 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by dimka99 Stay away from those guys!!! I would NEVER recommend to anybody to spend even a day at that place!!! 1. Charged my credit card , they not suppose to (company paid for all stay) 2. Room, was not ready..shower/Tab was not clean.. 3. IF you see a mini bar in the room what you expect? noop..was nothing there.. 4. One (small bottle of water 4$ )( gaz price 4$ per GALON!!!! 5. Clean room was done ones !!! first day , never changed anything for next 3 days, even i ask front desk rep to clean my room ..what i get? sorry clean services done for today..:) can you believe it? 6. Breakfast was in low selection..of food and fruits.. 7 Extra charge everywhere...:) and much more.. So NEVER book your trip at this place!!! stay away if you need at least a better services!!! January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave099 Great Hotel Better Staff Just finished a weekend college search in the area with my son. Was amazed by the hotel and the staff. Hotel had everything we needed and the staff was very professional and courteous. I had the pleasure of checking in and out with Sandy at the Front Desk. Sandy made me feel welcomed. Being a SPG member Sandy and the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. Got home tonight and we are trying to figure out when we can go back. Thank you August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LCW3881 This hotel was very nice I stayed at the Sheraton Columbia Town Center for four days last week. This is a very nice hotel. I was able to connect to the internet in my room and get some work done and the facilities for the conference I was attending were very nice and close to my room. Housekeeping did a very good job before noon. The lobby staff was very professional and allowed me to hang out in the lobby for two hours while waiting for my shuttle to the airport. I enjoyed my visit to Columbia Maryland and will consider the Sheraton again if I am ever in the area. Thank you. October 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Binged Odd room We had a room which was bigger than the standard room but had only two tiny drawers. We would have liked to unpack our bag a bit but were unable to. We would also would have liked a safe in the room to avoid the inconvenience of using the front desk's security facilities. The later than usual check out time was a nice touch and the bed was extremely comfortable. We requested non-feather pillows as my wife has an allergy problem and we were given a hypo-allergenic certified room. We thought this was very thoughtful; it's not something we've seen before. October 17, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob0331 Terrible food service Our visit started with an extremely late check in of after 5PM even though we arrived at 2:30.We were attending a wedding and were concerned with getting dressed in time for pictures. Our room was "worn" and dated. My pillow was wet from the air conditioner along with the rug. The Club Level offered nothing but canned sodas and breakfast and coffee were nowhere to be seen at the advertied time. The dinner that I pre-selected for the wedding was unavailable and the bar was quickly out of white wine. July 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TelaWilson Loud Atrium/Thin Walls The rooms in the "tower" section of the hotel are on the noisy side. If there are people down in the lobby, the sound travels and echos and can be heard in your room. We also had a room w/ a door that adjoins another room. We didn't know the people in the other room, but we could hear all of their conversations, we knew which tv show they were watching and could even hear their one-sided phone conversations. The only reason to stay here is because you can walk to Merriweather Post Pavillion. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by work0102013 Great location/in need of update Hi. The location of this property is perfect but the room I stayed in (the Lodge) was is desperate need of new carpet, painting , bathroom update-it just did not feel the cleanest and definitely did not match any recent experiences in other hotel chains. The TV did not work when I arrived late evening but the repair person did arrive promptly and it was just a matter of reconnecting wires which had loosened from cleaning staff (he said.) So unfortunately for now, I would not recommend this hotel to others until I was certain rooms had been renovated. November 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jo227 Not a good expierence When i made resv.was given an early check in of 1,went around 1:30 and room wasnt ready so we sat around for about an 1/2hr then went to pay and was told i needed a $50 deposite ,was never told when i made reservation.They did give us a later check out of 1pm.Bathroom on first floor was disusting,diaper on the floor,toilet paper,sinks dirty. Only 1 elevator worked sunday. Room only had a desk chair so one of us had to sit on bed to eat, there was only 1 robe. Monday morning 9am,10am and 12pm maid knocked on door and Do Not Disturb sign was out. Employees very nice, and our view was good and the shuttle was nice for the concert.So only 3 things we liked. My opinion is the hotel really needs a good cleaning and stain removal on carpets and lobby furniture and more chairs in double bed rooms July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Parents0fBride Perfect for Wedding Guests and Functions Although our daughter's wedding was at a nearby house of worship, we arranged for our out of town guests to stay at the Sheraton Columbia Town Center Hotel. The night before the wedding we held a pre-wedding reception in the beautiful Lake View space, and the morning after the wedding we had a farewell breakfast in the lovely Merriweather room. The food at both functions was excellent and attractively presented. The service was friendly and professional. All guest accommodations were attractive and very well maintained. June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EarlM3Rockers Great place to stay/rock for M3! I attend EVERY M3 festival and my stays here have been the best of any. I stopped staying elsewhere, in part because of the level of attentiveness of staff and willingness to go the extra mile to make us all feel at home. When we're staying up for two days and nights of concerts, comfort and service is important. August 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DD57 Comfortable, clean, courteous I was at this hotel only one night to attend a conference. Check-in was a little slow, but the staff was so courteous! Any staff who met me in the hallway said hello and asked if I needed anything. The conference facility was very convenient and comfortable. Food was very good. I went to the bar the first night for a late dinner and drink. Nice area, great service. My room was comfortable and clean, although I felt the part of the hotel I stayed in could have used some "refreshing." I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again. June 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by LAK61 I had to listen to a dog bark much of the night! Would you expect a "high end" hotel to allow a dog to bark and keep you awake? Well I would NOT!!! I called the front desk to let them know there was a dog in the room next door and they said they'd come up and check on it. Well, if they did, I am not sure what was done about it because at mid-night I was still hearing the dog bark and "jingle" every time it moved. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joel34 Staff revoew We have stayed at this property several times and it is tops. The reason is that Joe Giannino, the GM; front desk ..Michele, Doreen, Sandy, Erina, and others; bellmen..Vernon and Tyrone; food service..Ryan, Terri, and otherengineering; and housekeeping staff are outstanding, courteous, efficient, and effective. Always with a smile and willingness to be of assistance. It is not home, but they all have made our stays comfortable. t August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JBGA Welcome relief from power outage Very friendly reservation clerk who helped secure room for pet during recent power outage. Lots of folks at hotel with pets and this was a wonderful accomodation with no extra fees and lots of lawn for taking care of business. Looked like folks were also picking up after pets as we didn't see any leavings in back or in front. Rooms were spacious and clean; comfortable beds and bedding. Only problem we had was frequent loss of signal on digital TV but overall very happy to have the availability during the area power outages. July 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alisu Great staff - Nice hotel - I stay at the Columbia Sheraton quite a bit, at least once a month every year, for two nights on average. This is a nice hotel, very comfortable. I love the location next to the little Lake and the view from some of the rooms. The hotel has a good restaurant and a very nice bar where you can also eat. Maintenance in the rooms could be a bit better: frequently there is a problem with toilet paper holders not firmly installed, or some problems with drape rail. However, what makes this hotel really great for me is the incredibly committed staff. If you have ANY kind of problem or need, they are willing and happy to assist you and resolve it quickly and efficiently. From the front desk staff, to the food, all are focused on your well being and happiness as a guest. December 15, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chele13 Dirty Dirty Dirty When we arrived to our room we found a pair of men's dirty underwear crammed between the mattress and headboard. At that point I started to wonder if the cleaning people even changed the sheets. Also the toilet did not run properly. We had to keep taking the top off and fixing it every time we flushed the toilet. Also the hallway that we stayed in smelled of mold. The staff was NOT friendly at all and in the middle of my purchase from the store the lady said it was time for her break and left. Will not stay here again!!!!!! May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by reid618 Wedding Party Reception was GREAT !! Food and Beverages all Top Drawer.Great Rooms,and got them side-by-side.Just too easy! Stayed for 2 nights and got great service from the MGR. Mr.Gianinio.Best Front Desk were Michele and Charlene,also Isaac Kamara in the evening desk.BUT,the BEST of them ALL, was TYRONE the bellman. I could never have handled all the luggage from the 3 women I had to deal with without Tyrone. August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by roadvikster Requires Better Training on Customer Service Appreciation In addition to a lack of getting the room choice that I had booked for, I was downgraded to a room in the Lodge, only given dollar credit for the downgraded room for one of the two nights there, and had zero recognition by the staff of the Platinum SPG Status. The concierge at the lounge sat watching TV during the time I was there, without as much as a recognition of the customers walking in. The onDemand entertainment in the room was not working, TBS channel was unavailable too. Overall, a very underwhelming experience. August 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RoBo1949 No hot water Three of the four mornings there was no hot water in the room. Tuesday morning was fine, but Wednesday morning no hot water, and hence no shower. I called the front desk and they contacted engineering. Called again Wednesday evening and engineering opened the room next door, which had hot water. Thursday I used that room for my shower. Again Friday no hot water in the room. No mention of any of this was made by the front desk person when I checked out. To say I was unhappy about my stay would be a gross understatement. December 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Steve Non Smoking Room I stayed in room 306 in the Tower. Whoever stayed in the room prior to my stay definitely smoked and the room smelled of smoke. Bedding and bathroom smelled of smoke and I found it annoying. I inquired at the front desk to ask if they had an ozone machine to clean the smell out of the room and the agent did not know what I was talking about. They did change out the bedding but the room still smelled of cigarette smoke. The facility definitely needs an ozone machine since the widows do not open to air out the room. May 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Cheryl0561 Old !! Was very disappointed in my recent stay at the Sheraton Columbia. The rooms are very old and need major updating. The rugs are dirty. Switched out of my first room because their was no refrigerator, which should be a stable in any hotel room and the rug was dirty. Got put into the lodge and they had a refrigerator but there was gum stuck in the rug, Gross !!!!! Room was smelly also. The area is awesome. Have never been this disappointed in a Sheraton before July 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RDProf Hotel room ready for a facelift Nice location with a lot of room in the hotel, including many conference rooms. The layout is a little odd with the main counter far away from all the rooms making for a long walk from the parking garage to the room. The bed was comfortable but the physical facilities were not well maintained. A few examples: wallpaper in bathroom showed obvious signs of repairs, worn edges on furniture, carpet a little dingy looking (may have been clean but hard to tell). Overall the room could have used a renovation/updating. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chickie0331 Hotel Property needs a facelift Starting from the run down parking garage to the rooms, and the hallways on the way to the fitness center, things look grungy, run down and overall just dirty. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant when I had to change rooms due to a pet smell that was unacceptable, my new room was comfortable, but not on the club level I paid for. It can be a great facility if given a complete facelift and cleaning of all carpeting/walls. July 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Not really wheelchair accessible Staff were totally helpful and sensitive -- EXCELLENT. To be fully wheelchair accessible; * end tables must be rectangular/fush w/pillows so WC can be pushed back to climb in either side of bed * lighter weight or different hinge-ing of outer door (too heavy to open by WC user) * hinge b-rm door on opposite side so roomates can enter/exit w/o crashing into door (keep it so it opens on outside, tho) * lower beds to ease transfers * no carpets in room or on way to elevator * more available outlets to charge medical equipment & cell phone/computer * counter/accessible shelf at bathroom sink (WC users brush teeth, shave, etc., too!) * toilet in center of bathroom wall (not corner) with pull down grab bars Shower stall was excellent!!!!!!! Advertise accessibility of outdoor trail!!!! October 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Purpleshoes Not good Hotel was Over booked, the suite in the tower I was checked into stunk of cat urine, the guest's room next to mine also smelled like cat urine. Staff says it cant we don't allow pets. 3 other people had the same issue with their rooms, staff acted as if I was making it up? Transferred my room to a another building, scary looking room, needed updating. the wifi didnt work in that building & I needed it for work. Very unsatisfied with the way it was handled. Staff didn't seem to care about customer service. September 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by BigSpice Great Staff Very helpful staff. First class... September 2, 2014

InterCore Energy, Inc. Announces Exclusive Distribution Agreement With MeliaLife International Inc.
MAHWAH, N.J., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- InterCore Energy, Inc (OTCQB: ICOR), a holding company with planned operations in various business sectors, announced entering into an exclusive five-year international distribution agreement with MeliaLife International Inc., a leading manufacturer of unique liquid nutritional supplements. These products will be marketed through InterPharma, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary focused upon health and wellness solutions. Terms of the agreement call for InterCore to acquire all rights to such products at the end of the five-year period through the payment to MeliaLife of an aggregate of $30 million over the life of the agreement.
MeliaLife's new generation of natural supplements include high quality liquid products manufactured from plants in Asia, Europe, and South America. The effectiveness of the extracts and liquid formulations are all laboratory-tested by a team of researchers and biochemists. These carefully developed products are considered to be "The Great Vintage" of natural nutritional supplements today. MeliaLife's state-of-the-art extraction methods and special processing techniques allows its product line to preserve all their nutritional properties. MeliaLife optimizes their biological effect on organisms, according to very rigid quality standards, in addition to assuring there are no transformations in and no substitutions for the herbs that we use.

Commenting on the agreement, Claude Brun, Chief Executive Officer of InterCore Energy stated, "As we begin to expand our global operations and holdings, we have committed many of our resources to support this agreement and expect to not only meet but exceed sales targets which will allow us to purchase the business from MeliaLife with little or no further infusion of capital. MeliaLife's product line includes Betterflex, MenoMelia, Prostamune, Calcium Cynergy, Cholesterol Solutions, among many more needed and required specialized nutritional supplements, all of which we believe can be marketed and sold throughout the world."About InterCore Energy, Inc.

Chicago Pays the NRA… Again!
Living a stone's throw outside of Chicago's reach, I am continually barraged by Chi-town's news and politics, but a recent story made living in a red state dominated a blue dot known as Cook County (normally pronounced 'Kook County') a bit more enjoyable. Well, that and the fact I live far enough away to enjoy a sufficient geographic buffer to shield me from Czar-like gun laws imposed on the citizens of Chicago (and massive violence that are a result).
And speaking Czar-like, Chicagoans get to pay an extra tax… actually it is not a tax, but rather a drain on the tax dollars that should be going to enhance worthy items such as Chicago's education system and police force, but I digress. Whatever you choose to call it, the most recent blame can squarely be placed on Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the City of Chicago's refusal to recognize Second Amendment rights. It is all really quite simple. A small minority (the legislators of Chicago) continually strive to stomp on the Second Amendment by enacting unconstitutionally restrictive laws against the free exercise, sale, ownership and enjoyment of firearms. Predictably, this raises the ire of free citizens who rally in opposition supported by freedom-loving organizations such as the NRA, SAF, NAGR and a host of others. As a result, the NRA and others file legal challenges—win—and the City of Chicago is ordered to pay their legal fees. Since the government has no money of its own, it all comes from the tax coffers.
The result? Chicago is rapidly approaching 1,000 shootings since the beginning of 2014. Independence Day weekend yielded something over 100. That is one sad result of unreasoned gun laws. A lack of understanding of the phrase, "Shall not be Infringed" has tallied another $1.5 million in reimbursements to the NRA—and that is only counting Benson v. City of Chicago ($940,000), the challenge to Chicago's ban on gun sales within the city limits and the landmark ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago ($600,000). Imagine how many more of the tax payers dollars Chicago has wasted pushing the personal ideology of a few oligarchs?
For those who may have missed the details, Benson v. City of Chicago was consolidated into Illinois Association of Firearm Retailers v. City of Chicago. That case challenged five aspects of Chicago's law: (1) the ban on any form of carriage; (2) the ban on gun stores; (3) the ban on firing ranges; (4) the ban on self-defense in garages, porches, and yards; and (5) the ban on keeping more than one gun in an operable state.
While reveling in the NRA's successful championing of the Second Amendment is always an afternoon well spent, please remember the NRA cannot continue the good fight by reimbursement alone. The NRA has a proven record of defending Second Amendment rights—yours and mine—for decades. Let's all ensure it will be able to continue to do so by contributing to the coffers to secure Second Amendment freedoms for the future.
And if the citizens of Chicago do not enjoy the extra tax burden resulting from their elected leaders assault on the Second Amendment, elections are just around the corner. Just sayin'…
How do you feel about the City of Chicago being a leading 'donor' to the NRA? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

I don't know how many people have taken the oath "protect the constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic" I did in 1966 and stand firm all amendments since 1776, 238 years have worked just fine. if it ain't broke don't fix it…
I'm sure those you oppose would agree upon "preserving the Constitution at all costs". Why not? They feel free to interpret it as a "living document". Perhaps it isn't just the Constitution that needs preservation. You need the social and philosophical context of the Framers to boot.
Mike Hughes
It is indeed unfortunate that the "social and philosophical context of the Framers" has been ignored. They erroneously believed that their descendants would understand not only what they wrote but the intent of what they wrote in the reasonably short template that they left us to guide us in this new and wonderfully crafted republic that they birthed. Currently we have politicians that have no comprehension of their intent or desire to puzzle it out. Instead we are constricted by 20,000 page "laws" that attempt to replace the freedoms that our founders sought to give us as our inheritance with severe restrictions seeking to mold us into the "common folk" that they, as the descendants of the very elitists that the founders fled, want to force us be, to serve them as their vassals
If we opt for liberty and strict limitations on government, We can fundamentally change that with any single future election. If We choose to grant overreaching power to government in exchange for unrealistic promises of greater security and share of loot taken from our more productive peers, only bloody revolution, massive destruction, and loss of countless lives can change that, and that struggle may fail. that's not hyperbole, it's fact. We must preserve the Constitution at all costs!
(the newly minted coins omit "In God We Trust)
John Franco
Until citizens of Mass. open their liberal eyes and realize that the people they have voted into office are legislating them into second class citizens…nothing will change! I live in the unbelievable backwards state of Illinois and we have the same struggles here. Welfare loving, low information voters that want their freebies and are not willing to earn their keep, voting for the socialist democrats. But we cannot give up!
I live in Massachusetts we already have some of the strictest weapons laws in the country and yet tomorrow the Senate will hear House Bill H.4278 which will grant discretionary provisions to local law enforcement plus a host of other conditions, anyone from Massachusetts contact your Senators and voice opposition, granting anything that violates our Second Amendment rights. (please)
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent, it is a force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
George Washington
Good question. Don't know the answer though. I don't remember the particulars of the legislation. It may have been a loophole like pistols firing rifle ammo.
T Capehart
The United States is 3rd in Murders throughout the World. But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom for Murders. These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the United States. The fact that they are also all run by Democrats is not surprising. Their personal power agenda supersedes public safety, constitutional rights, common sense, historical facts, reality, etc. The murder rate is a small price to pay in order to get their agenda crammed through. Collateral damage is a cost they are willing for the citizens to pay after all they all have personal security guards armed to the teeth. In the last 100 years when the citizen's guns were outlawed and confiscated it has resulted in over 90 million people being murdered by their own governments. I salute the efforts by the NRA to stand up and fight tyranny in every quarter. At least they are willing to fight not like the undocumented Democrats who cross dress as Republican leaders – (Boehner, McCain, McConnell, Cochran, Rove, etc. etc.)
Your number for unarmed citizens murdered by their own government is quite low…
From 1900-1999 it is estimated that 262+ million had died at the hands of their government.
Refer to The University of Hawaii, Domocide
Web Page.
Actually, Detroit is slowly getting less bad, possibly due to the current police chief encouraging lawful citizens to get CPLs. Maybe there's hope for Detroit after all. ( Especially with Kwame out of circulation. )
I see you did not read Eliot's Debates. You are completely mistaken. For example, When the Constitution begins "We the people…", by your assumption of certitude, then it was the people who established a more perfect union. But the Constitution was ratified by 9 states, and not by national vote by the people. Do you know why the wording is inexact? If you had read Eliot's, then you would know that Gouveneur Morris, the chairman of the Committee on Style had to deviate from Jefferson's "We the States…" because no one knew which 9 of the 13 colonies would be the first to ratify the Constitution. It is in the committee's report, as quoted in Eliot's. Need more evidence? The 5th Amendment provides for takings for the public "use",,,with just compensation. The Confederation maintained records of the various colonial courts, using the language of the day. It was common to use "use" and "welfare" interchangeably in that context. Eliot's records no discussion by anyone to differentiate the word "use" from the commonly used "welfare". I suggest you read what was actually said during the writing of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, along with the state ratification debates instead of relying on wishful thinking.
I only wish the anti-gun folks had a grasp of history and see what happened when Gun Registration happened in pre-WW2 in Europe, Adolf Hitler went in and confiscated their weapons and over ran the countries without resistance.. "keep a eye on the present regime they are dismantling the Constitution one Amendment at a time."
They only conveniently 'remember' historical events when that event fits into their agenda. Selective memory …..
Brian P.
Oh, they DO know this, especially the anti-gun politicians. It's what they WANT. It's all about the power. Especially in Chicago it could not be more clear. You look around at 49 other states and see they have laws the opposite of you and experience much less violent crime rates, you have the statistics available to you whenever you want and you STILL will not entertain the fact that you're wrong? In fact, anytime anyone event attempts to discuss the facts, they are demonized, ridiculed and characterized with statements like, "you must want children to be shot if you against this".
It's not about public safety. If it was, it's safer everywhere the laws are the opposite of Chicago. So adopt those. No, that would interfere with their plan for total police state control. It's always been about the control.
Armed people cannot be made slaves. It's really no more complicated than that.

POC just looks good...
Nick Barile
Member since
This company is so rad...look at all their stuff, it is all designed beautifully. This is my favorite helmet I own for all MTN. It fits great but most importantly it leaves room for a great field of vision. Bottom line is if you are wearing a POC lid it makes your riding legit...kidding, but it certainly helps.

Top Five Small-Cap Stocks: Balchem
Our buy rating for Balchem has not changed since June 2003. The company reported record quarterly results for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Balchem achieved net sales of $56.9 million, reflecting a 35% increase compared with the same quarter one year prior. Net earnings also increased 35% year over year to $4.6 million. As a result, the company's earnings per share increased 32% to 25 cents from 19 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Management reported that the integration of several acquisitions made during fiscal 2007 have gone well, and stated that the first-quarter results did not yet reflect the company's full expectations for those acquisitions. Additionally, management noted again that rising raw-material costs are expected to remain a challenge for Balchem in the near term. While the company has taken pricing steps to counteract the effects of these increased input costs, the actions taken in the first quarter did not offset all the cost increases, primarily due to timing. Overall, management expects the remainder of fiscal 2008 to continue to bring double-digit increases in sales and earnings. Bear in mind, however, that global economic issues could affect results.
