The Charlotte Golf Links course off Providence Road, part of the troubled Carolina Trail golf course group, has been shut down, and the owner of the land says he's not sure why.
Willie Rea, whose family owns the 187 acres where Charlotte Golf Links operates, said officials with Billy Casper Golf Management had been running the course, but they left Thursday evening without explanation.
A local Instagram user posted a photo on the social network showing a sign that says the course "will no longer be in operation" as of Friday and directing golfers to call the Skybrook Golf Club in Huntersville.
Officials at Skybrook said someone would respond to the Observer's request for information on the closing, but the call wasn't immediately returned Friday afternoon.
Messages left for a Billy Casper representative weren't immediately returned either.
Charlotte Golf Links and the Skybrook Golf Club in Huntersville were among seven courses owned by the Carolina Trail group led by businessman Jeff Silverstein.
Skybrook and Charlotte Golf Links were placed in receivership by a judge in August. The courses owed millions to their lender, Hunting Dog Capital, a San Francisco-based firm.
Silverstein said last year that the five other Carolina Trail courses were also headed for foreclosure and bankruptcy. The group's debt included more than $1.2 million worth of federal tax liens, according to court records.
According to Julie Berger in the Mecklenburg Office of the Tax Collector, Charlotte Golf Links was auctioned. The lender posted the highest bid and foreclosed, she said.
The sale closed this week, and the tax collector's office was paid Friday, Berger said.

Life altering tragedy struck early on for her. She endured an admirable struggle through her youth and learned the hard way how to adapt and survive. She managed to arrive at adulthood in one piece in spite of it all. After such chaos, maintaining a life free of complications is a priority for her. Everything changed when a man with amber eyes came through her door and claimed her heart. She fell hard in more ways than one. The pull between Jo and Damon seemed like fate bringing things full circle. With another devastating loss looming, Jo fights to hold on to the very thing that brought her to her knees. She finds herself torn between a promising future and clinging to a devastating past. But that's not the most worrisome problem on her hands. She must convince more than just herself to let the past stay in the past, where it belongs, but on her journey to find closure and resolution, she does the exact opposite. An old wound caused by a heinous act becomes exposed for what it is. The truth is catastrophic and Jo is helpless, watching as the ruins of her fragile world endure more turmoil. Can something conceived from tragedy and malice end well? Can something so completely poisoned conquer adversity? Jo is left to make a decision; accept the circumstances she finds herself in or fight with unwavering ferocity to restore what has been damaged.

Walking Tours
Learn History Where the Events Occurred
Whether you are in the NYC area, or are visiting our City, why not learn about our history while walking through the actual areas where the events occurred? All Tours take place in Lower Manhattan and showcase Rick Landman's love of STORYTELLING.
Most Walking Tours are booked by colleges, high schools, or professional groups who want to learn while walking around. The most popular Tours include the LGBT History Tour in Greenwich Village, led by one of he early pioneers of the Movement. This has been a large group experience but has been given to small groups as well as law school students who want a better understanding of the legal history dealing with LGBT Rights. The historical perspective is from Law Professor who grew up in the segregated north as a gay son of two Holocaust Survivors who was active in the LGBT Rights Movement since 1970.
Or you may want to take an Urban Planning Tour led by a Certified Urban Planning professor in the Village or the Wall Street area, or a New Amsterdam Tour, or a World Trade Center Tour led by a long time resident of Tribeca. The "Talk" is just as important as the "Walk" and in many cases include first hand recollections. For more information, click on Tour photo.

The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index dropped this week after two weeks of increases in trans-Pacific lanes as a result of the April 1 general rate increase. The Transpacific Stabilization Agreement and some of its member carriers, including OOCL, MSC and CMA CGM, had announced hikes of $400 per 40-foot container to the West Coast and $600 per FEU to all other destinations.
"Although the trans-Pacific has been more stable [than Asia-Europe], both U.S. West Coast and U.S. East Coast have turned negative again following moderate GRI success. With the idle fleet being run down and some service changes expected into May, the next few weeks could be critical for setting the rate environment going into the summer," said Benjamin Gibson, freight derivatives broker at Clarksons Securities.
The spot rate to the U.S. East Coast dropped 2.1 percent or $74 per FEU to $3,380 since last week. In the prior two weeks, rates had increased $207. The current rate is down 4 percent from the same week in 2012 but up 0.7 percent since the beginning of 2013.
The spot rate to the U.S. West Coast fell 3.3 percent or $76 to $2,226 per FEU this week. During the two previous weeks, rates had increased $198. The current rate is down 2.6 percent over the same week in 2012 and up 0.2 percent above the level seen at the beginning of 2013.
"The GRI's that were enforced at the beginning of the month are already being eroded. With only a limited proportion of the planned increase coming into force then the increase will not offer any sustained financial respite. At the current rate of erosion rates will be back to levels prior to the April 1st GRI within the next 1-2 weeks," said Richard Ward, research analyst for container derivatives of ICAP plc.

Residency Requirement Gaining Aldermen Support
Tonight, Springfield leaders are weighing in on whether to listen to the voters--the majority of whom support a residency requirement for new city hires.
The canvassing and information packets pushing for a residency requirement all come to this: the majority of voters penciling in "yes" on a controversial Springfield issue.
"The voters spoke loud and clear for a residency requirement," alderman Joe McMenamin said. "I think the taxpayers care about the tax base. They want to protect it so it doesn't affect the taxes going up."
City council will have the final say on whether new Springfield hires will have to live in city limits.
There are two aldermen who are undecided, waiting for a final breakdown.
Alderman Steve Dove is one of them.
"If my ward is overwhelmingly for it, I'll vote their wishes," Dove said.
"My preliminary assessment is that I'm leaning towards supporting it, because when the numbers are almost 60 percent, I can't ignore that, nor should I," alderman Sam Cahnman said.
Aldermen Frank Lesko said he's "considering the impact on the city and weighing the options."
AFSCME representative Roger Griffith stands opposed.
"First of all, I don't think an employer should be able to tell an employee where to live just because they work there," Griffith said. "I think that the way things are right now it gives the city the opportunity to hire better-qualified employees."
If passed, negotiations would have to take place.
"I don't know what proposals we would make, or what proposals the city would make, but it clearly legally requires bargaining over this matter," Griffith said.

Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter Financial Results
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Magyar Bancorp (NASDAQ: MGYR) ("Company"), parent company of Magyar Bank, reported today the results of its operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
The Company reported net income of $282,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to net income of $31,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.05 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.01 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
"Our First quarter for Fiscal Year 2013 produced solid earnings for the Company," stated John Fitzgerald, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Total assets increased over the previous quarter as a result of additional commercial loans that were booked in the quarter, resulting in a significant increase in earnings over the same period last year. We anticipate continued growth in our residential mortgage and commercial loan portfolios throughout the year which will further improve the Bank's earnings."Mr. Fitzgerald added, "We also sold three properties held as Other Real Estate Owned during the quarter, continuing the momentum established in our previous quarter. We continue to see strong interest in the properties held as Other Real Estate Owned and expect this trend to continue throughout the year. In addition, despite the historically low interest rate environment, our Net Interest Margin increased 22 basis points on a year over year basis, reflecting our ability to further grow our core deposit base, particularly non-interest checking."

Magyar Bank has been serving families and businesses in Central New Jersey since 1922 with a complete line of financial products and services.

- Living a beach-chic life in these laid-back homes right by the sand
- Falling asleep to the sounds of the sea
- Tasting local delights in Cornwall's best restaurants nearby
The Village at Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay, Cornwall
Three nights at a chic beach retreat in North Cornwall, staying in an elegant self-catering two or four-bedroom eco-friendly apartment
When The Guardian newspaper reviewed The Village at Watergate Bay upon its opening in 2010, they described the eco-homes as "just about the perfect beach pad" - off to a good start then. Set just north of Newquay, these contemporary homes have been built into the cliffside, minutes from the beach. Some properties effortlessly command stunning views over the bay, and with floor-to-ceiling windows and your own private balcony you'll have plenty of scope to enjoy them.
This is your chance to experience the epitome of beachside living and relax in beach-chic style. Catch the morning surf, revive yourself with sea air, shake the salt from your hair, feel the sand in between your toes and gaze over the ever-changing sunsets. Spend the day touring for local produce, from Fifteen Cornwall Autumn Farmers' Market for vegetables and fish to Bre-Pen Farm for succulent free-range lamb. With two of Cornwall's most popular restaurants nearby (Jamie Oliver's Fifteen is just a 3-minute walk away), there are some excellent choices for eating out too.
The Village's eco-achievements are admirable. Sedum roofs help the homes maintain their temperature year round and teamed with air-source heat pumps and high-efficiency lighting, their energy usage over winter never outweighs that of boiling a kettle. Impressive stuff!

Lovely site location, shaded pitches and close proximity to the river which is great for canoeing, swimming etc.
The positives:
Location is perfect for the main attractions of the area.
Quiet site, good for kids, friendly epicerie.
The negatives:
Online booking and reception staff attitude.
Could use some soap in the toilets area!
Our suggestion:
Don't book - there was plenty of room when we tried in August, and we were charged a different rate to that which their website booking promised (The man behind the desk was very rude when we asked about this). Other guests had just showed up which works fine.Read moreLess

Lovely quiet site in old walnut orchard on banks of dordogne. Tiny very sleepy village, has hotel with restaurant and bistro for cold beers and ice creams. Campsite has a small shop for essentials and a bar at night. Swimming pool.
We like low key camping without night clubs/kids clubs/golf clubs mind.

Making Of...
The Apple
Behind The Scenes
Boogelow...The lousiest excuse ever for a reggae singer
Go behind the scenes and learn what went on during the making of the 1980
Dance / Music
movie starring
Catherine Mary Stewart
, George Gilmour, Grace Kennedy et al.
I attended an American school in Berlin at the time and much of the "audience" was made up of Army brats and other American kids who happened to live in Berlin at the time. We were paid 50 german marks for a full Saturday of sitting around (and then storming the stage when asked to do so).
Many of the extras for the movie came from the Berlin American High School. Two big buses parked about a block from the school to pick us up each day of the shooting filled with kids "skipping school".
Contributed by: Michael Gingold
The Choreographer was Nigel Lythgoe, a producer of AMERICAN IDOL!
Contributed by: Iris Yotvat (Recht)
I am the co-creator writer and lyricist of "The Apple". Coby and I worte it as a Hebrew stage musical in 1977 and then Menachem Golan lijed it so much that he brought us to L.A. to translate it into English. We were young and naiive, like Alphie and Bibi in the movie, and since then we did not get a penny out of that movie at all. So seems like Bugalow-Satan showbiz unfairness does exist in reality and this "very bad" movie tells some "truth" after all.

A pre-release cut was discovered in 2008 that contained a 90-minute cut of the movie, complete with the extended "Child of Love" wedding sequence shown in the film's theatrical trailer, but cut out of the movie. This cut of The Apple was shown at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles in June 2008 and will be shown at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas on August 13, 2008.

What Was Tyra Banks Like at 17?
Before she was a Top Model, actress or writer (check out her new novel, Modelland, out September 13!), Tyra Banks had a killer style, great friends, and big dreams.
By Neha Gandhi
Uniform Fashion
What was your favorite thing to wear when you were 17?
Believe it or not, I actually loved my school uniform. It felt really good to not have to think about clothes and just really focus on school and my friends. It was so nice to wake up, wash my face, comb my hair into a pony tail, and go to school.

I began freelancing in 19-oatcake after I discovered a fabby new devil in a box called "the-com-pu-ter" & became a self taught design nerd :)
All my work is bespoke & Im hugely passionate about all sizes of projects. Clients have spanned UK, Europe, Canada & USA & usually say nice things about me.
I've proven that distance is no object to creating gorgeous designs but sharing cake can occasionally be a problem.
Having your logo, poster or shiny new website developed should be a joy, not a source of hair-tearing-trauma.
It's simple to get started & doesn't cost a small country economy. Contact me with a few thoughts, no pressure & no obligation.
I can provide you with references from clients I've bribed, but my 'folio should suggest if I'm the right designer for your project.
After all, if you're happy with my work you might say nice things about me too :)

Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day!1 October
Saturday, October 4th, 10:00 am at the CCC Warehouse
Unfortunately this event has been cancelled
email firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.
Add your pet project !21 September
While you might not be a transportation planner, you are driving, walking and especially riding our local roads. You're the expert. Now is the time to submit projects that you think could be good improvements to our mobility and safety. You only get that chance once every five years, so it is important to make good use of it. The regional transportation planning agency (CRTPA) has started the new long-range transportation plan, called Connections 2040. Currently they are gathering information and the needs and ideas of the citizens, which will ultimately be compiled in a list of needed projects and prioritized. In order to receive state or federal funding, projects need to be on that list. This time around, a new online tool is being used, Metroquest, and I would strongly urge you to go there (http://connections2040.metroquest.com) and provide your input for the future of transportation in the region.
The Capital City Cyclists aims to present the cyclists during the process, through our representation in the City-County Joint Bicycle Workgroup and the Citizen and Multi-modal advisory committee of the CRTPA, and by attending and speaking at public meetings. Please also let us know (email@example.com) what projects are important to you, so that we can keep track of it in the coming year.
The next public workshops for Connections 2040 are Oct 6 (Gadsden, Jefferson) and Oct 7 (Leon, Wakulla). The Leon county public meeting will be Oct 7 from 6-8pm at the Jack McLean Community Center on 700 Paul Russell Rd. Everybody is encouraged to come and talk to planners and provide input.
More information can be found at connections2040rmp.com.

Dick Rogers rides an amazing July, and leads Florida.3 August
Riding the St Marks trail one of the July nights, you had a good chance to encounter a lonely cyclist putting in many miles on his tricycle. Dick likes a challenge. Strongly motivated by the National Bike Challenge, he aimed to finish on top in July. And he did. Riding on average close to 100 miles a day, he collected more points than anybody else in Florida, and finished July in third position nationally. An amazing feat. In the first three months of the challenge he put in more than 5000 miles, riding every single day. The only one coming close is … Trish Rogers, with about 2500 miles so far. She finished the month in fifth position among Florida women. Kudos to Dick and Trish!
There are two months left in the National Bike Challenge, and it is not too late to join the fun. You'll make a chance of winning monthly prizes for August and September, as well as the grand prizes at the end of the challenge. Just go to http://nationalbikechallenge.org and sign up !

CCC local host for 2014 National Bike Challenge: Sign Up !18 April
The 2014 National Bike Challenge is about to kick off on May 1st. This fun program is organized by the League of American bicyclists with the goal of getting more people on the bike for both recreation and transportation. As the challenge aims to change our transportation habits, it runs for five whole months from May 1st to September 30th.
The simple fact of getting more bikes on the road increases rider safety, and cities like Portland and Davis with many cyclists have very few cyclist fatalities. Getting more people riding in and around Tallahassee is one of the goals of the Capital City Cyclists and we are therefor hosting the local part of the challenge. We're covering the counties of Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, and Wakulla. It's free, and there are great prizes to win. It's also fun to see how you and your workplace or team is doing with respect to the rest of Tallahassee and the rest of the country. In last year's challenge the Gainesville Cycling Club won the award for the best team, nationally. We should give them some competition this year! Just go to www.nationalbikechallenge.org and sign up. When you do, you can search for and join the Capital City Cyclist team. You can of course also join other teams that will be set up by participants in the coming weeks, or you can start your own team. Also, look for your workplace and/or school, or consider becoming the coordinator for your school or workplace.
The challenge runs from May to the end of September, and each month there are prizes to win. The rules are simple, 20 point for each day you ride, and one point for each mile you ride. You can log your miles manually, or use your smartphone or Garmin GPS device to upload your rides to endomondo, mapmyride, or moves. The bike challenge website can then sync the rides you enter there. While all rides count towards points, miles, and calories burnt, miles you ride instead or using your car for transportation count towards dollars and CO2 saved, so you can keep track of your savings and your reduced CO2 footprint. The web interface is brand new, and the League had to rush to get it set up in time. You're bound to have some questions, but you can post these easily in the comment section on the website and get these answered.
While the challenge itself starts May 1st , you can sign up already during the "warmup" period and get used to it. May 1st all counters will be set to zero.
Those that participated last year had great fun with the challenge. It's a great and free way of contributing to the cause. Give it a try yourself and spread the word among you colleagues and friends! Go to www.nationalbikechallenge.org and sign up!
City initiates a bike parking program9 April
Sometimes it is hard to find a good parking space for your bike at businesses and parks around town. There's not always a convenient traffic sign around, and trees are not very amenable to U-locks. While new construction in central Tallahassee ( the Multi-Modal Transportation District or MMTD ) is required to provide bike parking at a rate of 10% of car parking, existing businesses have no such requirement. Therefor the city has decided to start a bicycle parking program.
There are two types of bike parking that are proposed: bike racks and bike corrals. The bike racks are black inverted Us with a City logo, and will be only be installed at city owned properties like parks and community centers, and in public right of way. Businesses interested in installing bike parking on private property can contact the city planning department for help with placement and design. Also a "Bike Parking Guide" will be developed by the city/county planning department. It is also proposed bike racks and art can be combined with the installation of artists designed racks, similar to a very successful program in Toledo.
Bike corrals typically replace one parking space for cars with 10-16 parking spaces for bikes. A first proposed location is College Avenue, near Jasmin cafe, with additional locations along Gaines, All Saints, South Monroe, and Midtown.
The enthusiastic support by the mayor and commissioners at their March 26 meeting now make it possible to find funding sources for this program.
2014 March Presidents Paceline – Bicycles Rule!14 March
So I must open by apologizing as it has been TOO long since my last Presidents Paceline entry. I could discuss all the club has been up to (which is a lot) but I thought it would be more fun to get back in the swing of things by geeking out on cool bikes – that IS why we all ride after all
With that mindset I thought I would share a recently found favorite of mine – the Vintage MTB Workshop (www.vintagemtbworkshop.com.) For some this will be a look at early off-road bikes and for others it will be a trip down memory lane allowing you to reminisce how these bikes (or ones similar) from two decades agos "felt" as we turned each pedal stroke.
For me I cannot help but remember lusting over the early 90s Klien Attitude. I never personally got to own one myself however, working in a bike shop, I did get to ride a few in my time. Along with Cannondale, Klien was one of the first companies to popularize the use of thin-walled oversized aluminum tubes which are commonplace today. Before the use of this once "radical" tube design aluminum bikes were flexy (anyone else recall watching the slow motion replay of Sean Kelly's sprint victories atop his Vitus and how the front and back wheel went almost sideways?) Klien was famous for their consistent smooth welds and unyielding strong stout frames along with their garishly fantastic multi-toned paint jobs. They also where one of the first to use the now common double oversized pressed-in headset designs to allow for a light-weight steering assembly that still tracked strait as well as press-fit bottom brackets and unified handlebar and stem. This integrated "frameset" design (frame, fork, headset, stem, seatpost, and BB) allowed Klien to be on of the first to push the limits of endurance and lightweight design which is now the standard for all high-end bicycles.
The Klien Attitude also fit the mold of the quintessential MTB race bike of the early 90s era. Stiff frame, low handlebars, crazy paint, and built for speed. These bikes where not comfortable but they where fast with every push of the pedals propelling you forward and a frame geometry that allowed you to instantly change your line. It was this design that I first fell in love with in the world of bikes and still gets my heart racing today…
What was your first bike love?

TMBA Trail Building with Jesse and Lori2 March
TMBA Trail Care Crew Visit
The Tallahassee Mountain Bike Association (TMBA) just wrapped up a very busy 4 day visit from the International Mountain Bike Association's current Trail Care Crew – Jesse and Lori. You can find more general info about the Trail Care Crew in general here: https://www.imba.com/tcc
The Tallahassee visit's main event was a free, one-day Trail Building School, during which Jesse and Lori taught sustainable trail building. TMBA scheduled the Trail Building School for Saturday, March 1st. The event consisted of morning classroom training held in the city's Meyers Park Community room, free lunch donated by Dave's Pizza Garage, and an afternoon of on the ground training in Tom Brown Park. We had great turnout with a mix of TMBA members, locals, a handful of people from out of town, and staff from local and state land managers. Organizing this couldn't have happened without all the hard work from the Tallahassee Parks and Recreation staff Chuck Goodheart and Craig Brickser.
The Tallahassee Trail Building School project reestablished a portion of the Magnolia trail in Tom Brown Park that was removed during the construction of joint city/county public safety complex and the Red Cross center on Weems Road.
The participants of the Trail Building School bench cut a beautiful piece of singletrack between the new buildings and the adjacent retention pond. This trail will be connected with the existing Magnolia Trail in a follow-up TMBA workday on Saturday, March 15th.
In addition to the Trail Building School, TMBA scheduled an afternoon Land Manager Training session where Jesse and Lori talked with our local trail land mangers about the practice of designing, building and maintaining sustainable trails.
TMBA also managed to squeeze in participation in the Thursday evening event – Speed Date Local Leaders. Mike Yaun and Matt Wilson from the TMBA board; a few TMBA members -Sarah Wilson, Neil Dimacali, Joseph Petty, and Craig Brickser; and Jesse from the Trail Care Crew talked with County and City Commissioners, Leon County Administrator Vince Long, TPD Chief Michael DeLeo, and Tallahassee Director of Parks and Recreation Dee Crumpler. The event was a great opportunity to discuss with local leaders the importance of biking for the Tallahassee area.
Finally TMBA held several great social events related to the visit. Friday night included a social ride and meal with several kegs of beer brewed by TMBA Event Coordinator and brewmaster Joseph Petty; the Friday night meal was hosted by Higher Ground Bicycle Company. Saturday night was a post Trail Building School celebration at Juicy Blue Tapas Bar & Bistro in the Four Points by Sheraton, which had been gracious enough to donate a free room for Jesse and Lori's stay in Tallahassee.
Last, but not least, Matt Wilson lead a Sunday morning social ride that starting at Tom Brown Park that included trying out the new section of Magnolia Trail and was a great send off for Jesse and Lori.

Speed Dating Your Local Leaders2 March
Recently The Village Square hosted an event called "Speed Date Your Local Leaders" that was attended by several CCC members. Here is a summary of their experience, written by Joe Barnett:
Village Square's "Speed Dating"
by Joe Barnett
Several Capital City Cyclists members attended the event including Neil Dimacali, Mike Yaun, Joe Barnett and probably others.
The list of local officials was impressive. City Commissioners Scott Maddox, Nancy Miller, Gil Ziffer were there along with County Commissioners Kristin Dozier, Mary Ann Lindley, and Nick Maddox. Also in attendance were the County Administrator Vince Long and Supervisor of Elections Ian Sancho. There were also representative from Leon County Schools like Jackie Pons and Forrest Van Camp.
About 30 tables were set up at St John's Church. Local leaders had about 7 minutes to sit at each table and discuss any issues table members brought up. And we got to eat free pizza!
At my table I asked the new chief of police, Michael DeLeo, about safety. He said our narrow roads are dangerous. I wasn't sure if he was talking about canopy roads or wanting to widen other roads. So I mentioned that in Killearn Lakes our roads were narrowed and now the cars have slowed from about 43MPH to about 33 MPH making it safer. We also have bike lanes.
I asked about every commissioner if the 200-300 million of the sales tax dollars would go to more 6 lane roads or not. They told me how there will be a LOT of sidewalks and completion of the bike network.
I mentioned I am worried that if we keep making 6 lane or bigger roads it will be dangerous and ugly sprawl like Atlanta, Orlando, L.A….. I told them how Greenville, Duluth Minnesota, Sarasota, Thomasville, have very busy downtowns and ALL have two lanes with street parking. Most liked that idea, and are supportive of Bike -Ped issues, but all felt we need a Capital City "outerbelt"…. just like other sprawl cities…
The event was a great opportunity see speak one on one with our local officials. Tallahassee is a relatively small community and even a small group like the CCC can have a big impact if we can regularly have a presence at these types of events.
"The Village Square is a non-partisan public educational forum on matters of local, state and national importance. We are dedicated to maintaining factual accuracy in civic and political debate by growing civil dialog on divisive issues, and recalling the history and principles at the foundation of our democracy."
Here's a talk at TEDxFSU by Liz Joyner, Executive Director of To The Village Square:

Joy B., United Kingdom
This was our second visit to Washington DC and our second booking of the Big Bus Tour. It is such a good way to start a visit to this lovely city as it gives you an idea of where things are and what you would like to specifically go back to. Hop on, Hop off obviously lends itself very well to taking a closer look at some things, especially the monuments. We actually used three of the routes this time and saw things we didn't on our last visit, such as lovely Georgetown. This is definitely worth doing and the two day ticket is excellent value.
Stephen F., United Kingdom
Fantastic - interesting, informed, entertaining with the best guides. A special thank you to Mathew (guide) and James (driver) who made the night tour especially memorable. Thank you! If you do nothing else in Washington you must use this tour.
Big Bus Tour of Washington D.C.

Derek Jeter was right: the cell phone is the bane of the modern pro athlete. Then again, Jeter isn't stupid enough to get caught slamming the National Anthem on a cell phone video that is going to then be uploaded to YouTube and seen by millions of people. It would take a real idiot to have something like that happen.
Why hello, Josh Howard! THE SPORTING NEWS reports that the talented but troubled Mavericks player is in hot water again after video has surfaced of him at Allen Iverson's charity flag football event in July saying he doesn't "celebrate" the National Anthem because he's black, and then mumbles something unintelligible about Barack Obama. You can watch for yourself after the jump:
I don't know what in the world Howard was saying about Obama - but I'm pretty sure that he's also not going to be wearing a US flag lapel pin any time soon.
At least his owner is standing by him: Mark Cuban tells the DALLAS MORNING-NEWS that the issue has already been dealt with, but the team is going to be undergoing some media training on being funny with a cell phone camera. As in, "don't":
Owner Mark Cuban said the Mavericks dealt with Howard's flag football episode after it happened in July.
"That said, we will be going through some advanced communication-skill sessions together this training camp," Cuban said Tuesday. "I have explained to him that cellphone cameras are not your friend and that what you think you said on camera is never what people will hear when it shows up on YouTube or TV.
"There is only one universal response that works: 'Both teams played hard'."
Also acceptable: "We gave 110 percent effort" and "We're taking it one game at a time." However, "Death to America" is probably not such a great idea.
You know you're in trouble when Ron Artest is saying you are out of line. Sam Amick of the SACRAMENTO BEE says the loony King-turned-Rocket e-mail him out of the blue to offer his take on the situation:
"I think josh howards comment is a reflection on education. I think the schools need to teach deeper in the history classes and make the students aware of racism but also teach them that all people are not bad.
"I can relate to not feeling wanted by my own country at times but as I dug deeper I realized that America is divided and we need leaders to bring America closer together. An example where I felt unwanted by my country was when I didn't get a chance to tryout for my national team. I believed it was because my history.
I hope he overcomes this.
Family 1st"
That's just great. Somehow Artest manages to turn this situation around in the the course of one paragraph to be about how he was shafted because he was left off of the Olympic team AND completely oversimplifies the problems of race in America by saying we just need to teach that "all people are not bad." I wish I could write - or think - like Ron Artest. My life would be a much simpler (if not calmer) place.
Family 1st.
