tubbs1518 01-24-2015 08:13 PMThis is wrong on several points, IMHOThe Saints can negotiate after the suspension is up and submit a new extension to the league office. It is possible that the league may get into another battle with the Saints in court and the clause of the contract that brought everything into question may stand (doubtful, but still out here). The league took around six months to even tell the Saints that the contract was not good and an out clause tied to any suspension for GM Mickey Loomis was setting a bad precedent. Or, did they?
The Saints are not in any court battle with the NFL. Certain players and the NFLPA is.
In order to go to court SOMEONE has to take it. Payton won't, so the only other parties are The Saints, or NFL. I don't see either doing so.
The NFL has a requirement to approve all major contracts with personnel. The rule should be in the bylaws HERE
I don't see rules for non-player contracts but the bylaws require Commissioner disapproval in 10 days. Which means that according to reports, if Payton wasn't informed prior to March, then the League's disapproval authority timed out. Which means it is intact, and thus is valid. Now the NFL might want to declare the clause void, but that, in essence, negates the extension. The NFL has a very thin and crumbling perch to stand upon.
Basically, the NFL just flat goofed. Someone should have actually read Payton's contract. Sloppy city.
The obvious solution is simple collusion. It's the NFL way.
On the six months part, I give a link to the NFL refuting the statement. Without insider knowledge, I can only give what has been reported.
I never said it is in court. In fact, I said it was doubtful to happen. I only can see a road where it gets there. I see it possible only if the NFL is serious in blocking those sorts of clauses. We seem to actually agree on this point.
Here's my take (acknowledging my Saints fan bias):
Payton knew he was going/ or could be suspended. They knew the NFL was investigating since '09. He wrote the clause in his contract as insurance in case he was suspended, his deal could be voided and redone to recover the money lost during the suspension. Payton doesn't want to go anywhere, esepecially since Brees is locked down for 4 more years and he can still "name" his GM (in title only, Payton is making personnel decisions IMO).
The NFL statement actually makes no sense. It doesn't answer the "Have you voided the contract" nor does it answer "Did you reject the contract when it was submitted"
It actually says they havent "made a determination of the contract status of Payton with the Saints next year" It implies a near term determination,
but could also be true if they simply let the contract do a 10 day "time out" back in 2011, which eliminates their ability to reject it.
However they can just waive their hands and say the reject it at any time and the recourse is court. They can also waive their hands and state the term is void and therefore consider payton a 2013 employee of Saints, all clubs should act accordingly and not tamper, with recourse being court.
Roger could also extend Paytons suspension. And the recourse is court.
So this will probably be papered over with money and no explosion will happen. Payton stays.
Oh, well, I guess it is back to the No Fun League...
Sean and Saints can talk. I don't like it when fun gets taken away.
OK. Let me see if I have this right...
Payton was suspended so he gets no salaray and can have no contact with the Saints and the NFL.
Somehow, sometime the NFL found his Loomis clause to be a reason to not approve/void his contract extension.
His contract actually runs out after the SuperBowl.
He is suspended until after the SuperBowl.
He can NOW talk to the Saints again, but only about a new contract.
No other team can talk to him, because that's tampering.
Since he is suspended for the remainder of the contract, is he actually still employed?
How can you tamper with someone who isn't under contract?
The Saints owner has actually been hiring Sean for jobs with the NO Hornets.
Payton was suspended so he gets no salary and can have no contact with the Saints and the NFL.
Can I get a logic diagram on this?
That's pretty much it. Start the laugh track.OK. Let me see if I have this right...

Sean Payton's sure had a hell of a year, hasn't he?
Supposedly the extension was voided a while ago, but we're just now learning about it. Makes me wonder how often things like this happen?
New Orleans is lucky they get to negotiate with Payton now, rather than having to wait until the day after the Super Bowl. Otherwise Drew Brees might really need an explanation.
Yep. Another good point about this. There is always a way around everything. Boy, public perception of Goodell has really helped Payton out here. People forget that even though Rodge hates the ruling by Tags, it still stated a program was in place. In the legal world, the head guys seems to be the one to fall. In the NFL, it is the Lts. Only actual LTs if we are talking about J'Marcus Webb.
Payton and Benson apparently had regular meetings (once a week based on what I read about a basketball game he popped up at). I guess meeting with the owner is considered as not interacting with the organization... or, special dispensation was given for purposes of negotiating the contract. Either way, they saw one another a lot.
I rather hope someone needles Roger about it during SuperBowl week.
While compassion and flexibility are good things, the fundamental thing you want from a leader is the same as you want from a ref: consistency. Roger doesn't have it. The initial punishment was no contact with any team in the NFL. Roger's decisions give the appearance of being dictated by his mood that day. Over the last year I've done a 180 on the guy. Used to admire him. Now I think he's clueless about how to lead people.
The answer to the first question is unarguably yes, as anyone who's ever been a grocery store or a bar could tell you--often uniformed, but off-duty, cops are employed to patrol or serve as security...
Don't a lot of police moonlight as security? What is a fixer if not security affixed to the team, not an event locale?
How is this different than if the fixer was a lawyer?
I think that's the newsworthy part that's making this a story. Not that they have a fixer, almost every team does. More so that that "fixer" is a local Lieutenant.
I am pretty sure most teams have a fixer of some type. I do, however, feel it inappropriate for an active member of law enforcement to hold such a position.
I know at least three Detroit pro...
A few things.
1) This is not surprising at all.
2) It seems that all teams would be smart to have a "fixer."
3) Yes, some of the things these people do are pretty disgusting to many, but...

Spending too much time in front of the television makes kids think less of themselves. But not if youre a white boy, according to a new study.
Nicole Martins, an assistant professor of telecommunications at Indiana University, and Kristen Harrison, a communications professor at the University of Michigan, surveyed 400 second- through fourth-graders in several Midwestern communities twice, a year apart, asking them to respond to statements like, There are many things about myself I would like to change. For both white and black girls and black boys, self-esteem decreased in that time, while for white boys it went up.
Despite an increase in diversity in kids programming, perception gaps still exist, partly because kids this age also watch the less-diverse programming their parents are watching, Martins said.
No matter what the program, if youre a white boy, things look pretty good for you, but girls and black boys see more limitations in their roles, she said. For girls, success is based on how they look. Black boys see characters more likely to be portrayed as criminals or crime victims.
The study concluded that regardless of what they watch, the amount of time they spend doing it may be even more harmful.
The white kids spent 25 to 30 hours a week watching TV, while the black children spent 32 to 40 hours.
Thats like a full-time job, and its displacing real-life experiences, Martins said. Time spent with the TV is time not spent on confidence-building activities.

Triggering Emitter in Matinee
I've made a winter scene and the snowfall using the emitter looks great.
However, I don't want the snow to fall until I trigger it in "Matinee". The documentation for the emitter says that I can trigger an emitter by setting the tag of the particle system to the event of the trigger. How do I disable the snow to wait for the trigger? |

Celebrities at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in NY
Naomi, Hugh, and Isla Join Polo Hottie Nacho at the Veuve Clicquot Classic
Naomi Watts and her fellow Australians Hugh Jackman and Isla Fisher, in D&G, were among the celebrities who turned out for the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on NYC's Governors Island yesterday. Nicky and Kathy Hilton were also on hand at the sporting grounds, where polo player and Ralph Lauren model Nacho Figueras showed off his skills on the field. Hugh sang a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" to kick off the fourth annual match before taking his seat along the sidelines. Nacho's Black Watch team won the game, and once his work as an athlete was done, he changed into a Summer suit to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. The champagne was flowing at the Sunday soiree, and Donna Karan got the party started by teaming up with Wyclef Jean on the dance floor. Wyclef performed and lent his support to the event, which also served as a fundraiser for Donna's Hope Help & Rebuild Haiti nonprofit.

The concierge was welcoming, the check in was easy and friendly was helped to the room which was helpfull room was comfortable and it was a great located hotel
The bar was cliquy, and felt a bit ignored by staff the smoking room doors were open and the toilets and surrounding area smell very strongly of cigarette smoke-and foggy.The rooms were a tap sparse for the money ,tea coffee facility's not available movies were not available
Location Breakfast
Reception Staff Attitude, Car Park an NCP across the road, Booked a room with extra bed but no bed in room, when we went back down to talk to reception got very curt responses. Attitude of reception extremely poor
Almost all was wonderful Breakfast is amazing
Upon checking in the reception charged higher rate than my booking.com confirmed rate and I had to talk to them to adjust it. Also they have authorized 100€ per night on my credit card without explainination, sharing of information or informing me. He simply took my card and an SMS popped in my mobile phone with 400€ blocked. After two days my friend joined us in the hotel and the same exact thing happened to her. It seems to be a policy.
Very nice staff. Good location.

Rooms were very good size, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Free wifi is great. Breafast selection was fantastic and very tasty. Good location close to everything.

This is a "grand hotel" in every sense! From the moment you arrive to when you leave you are surrounded by luxury and comfort!!
Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, its a beautiful hotel with a great location. The hotel staff were excellent.

"It's all about the Benjamins, baby," Diddy famously rapped years ago, and to keep the money rolling in, he and other rappers and musicians are reaching for the bottle—lending their celebrity to all kinds of booze.
The most recent megastar to belly up to the bar is Timbaland, producer of hits for Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Jay-Z. As part of a five-member partnership, the rapper-producer (real name: Timothy Mosley) is launchingLeSutra in New York Oct. 1. Touted as the first sparkling liqueur available in four flavors, it will cost upward of $29.99 per 750-milliliter (25.4-ounce) bottle.
Liquid Asset: Diddy's deal to push Ciroc vodka could be worth up to $100 million. William Waitzman for Barron's
Co-founder Tom Bruno, who helped launch ultra-popular Grey Goose vodka many years ago, aims to sell 500,000 cases of LeSutra over three years. He and his partners put up $2 million to launch LeSutra and is relying on Timbaland, mostly via social media, to drive sales. Timbaland will no doubt drop LeSutra's name in as many videos and songs as possible.
The rap-booze hookup has profited both sides. Diddy's multiyear deal to push Ciroc, dubbed one of the few vodkas made from grapes, could be worth up to $100 million to the music mogul. With 1.3 million cases sold last year, it was the No. 1 celebrity brand.

Typical symptoms of rubella are a mild rash, swollen and tender glands (especially behind the ear, at the back of the neck, and under the skull), and a slight fever. Also, some adolescent girls and adult women get joint pain (arthritis), especially in the small joints of the hands.
The rubella rash is mild, starts on the face, and spreads to the neck, the chest, and the rest of the body. It may first appear as a mild blush before it develops into a more pinpoint rash with distinctive spots. Rubella infection without a rash is also common. Even if you do not have a rash, you are still contagious.
Complications, such as infection of the brain (encephalitis), can arise from rubella. Encephalitis from rubella is very rare but serious.
A fetus that becomes infected with rubella is at risk for miscarriage, fetal death, and birth defects. And fetuses exposed to rubella during the first trimester are at highest risk for congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). This syndrome can result in serious birth defects. Hearing impairment is the most common, although cataracts and glaucoma, other eye problems, heart defects, brain problems, intellectual disability, physical retardation (stunted growth), and bone disease may also occur.
Other viral illnesses and conditions can cause symptoms and rashes similar to rubella. For this reason, rubella may be confused with:

Species facing widespread and rapid environmental changes can sometimes evolve quickly enough to dodge the extinction bullet. Populations of disease-causing bacteria evolve, for example, as doctors flood their "environment," the human body, with antibiotics. Insects, animals and plants can make evolutionary adaptations in response to pesticides, heavy metals and overfishing.
Previous studies have shown that the more gradual the change, the better the chances for "evolutionary rescue" the process of mutations occurring fast enough to allow a population to avoid extinction in changing environments. One obvious reason is that more individuals remain alive when change is gradual or moderate, meaning there are more opportunities for a winning mutation to emerge.
Now University of Washington biologists using populations of microorganisms have shed light for the first time on a second reason. They found that the mutation that wins the race in the harshest environment is often dependent on a "relay team" of other mutations that came before, mutations that emerge only as conditions worsen at gradual and moderate rates.
Without the winners from those first "legs" of the survival race, it's unlikely there will even be a runner in the anchor position when conditions become extreme.
"That's a problem given the number of factors on the planet being changed with unprecedented rapidity under the banner of climate change and other human-caused changes," said Benjamin Kerr, UW assistant professor of biology.
Kerr is corresponding author of a paper in the advance online edition of Nature the week of Feb. 9.
Unless a species can relocate or its members already have a bit of flexibility to alter their behavior or physiology, the only option is to evolve or die in the face of challenging environmental conditions, said lead author Haley Lindsey of Seattle, a former lab member.

Union Of Winemaking Cooperatives Of Samos Muscat Nectar 2010
Union Of Winemaking Cooperatives Of Samos
- Cyclades
- Greece
- Samos
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Muscat grapes are widely understood to be one of the oldest grape varietals in the world, with many experts claiming that a surprising amount of grape varietals used in the production of fines wines are in fact descendants of this original species. They are characterized by their high juice content, and the fact that they almost always hold a powerful and pleasant floral aroma, alongside bright, fresh and tart fruity flavors with have plenty of space for the expression of terroir. Muscat varietal grapes are renowned for being highly versatile, and are regularly used for the production of a vast range of wines still dry white wines, elegant sparkling wines, sweet dessert wines and aromatic fortified wines are all often made from this special and unique grape.
It is almost impossible to understate the importance of local and regionally produced wines in Greek culture. Across the country, from the cities of the mainland to the villages, mountainous regions and islands, wine is produced using traditional methods and native grape varietals, and is drank in households and taverns, either accompanying the much loved local cuisine or alone as a refreshment under the blazing Mediterranean sunshine. For wine lovers around the world, Greece is known for producing several wines with something unique and interesting to offer, a refreshing change from the norm filled with surprises and complex, occasionally challenging or unusual flavors and aromas. Thanks to the vast range in terrain across the archipelago, Greek wine is as varied as it is delicious, meaning there is plenty to explore and enjoy from this fascinating and ancient country.

So a previous post on this got me thinking, have you ever been truly heartbroken? I don't want to say too much on it in fear of reminding people.
It can be about girlfriends/boyfriends, family members or other things.
Do you feel up to sharing how you felt?
When I was younger my first proper relationship was underway but about 6 -7 months into it we started to drift and started arguing and one day she told me "it's over". She explained quickly why, reasons of which I don't care to divulge into, and that was it. We did get back together for another few months later on down the line but it didn't last long.
That first breakup really felt like my heart had been ripped apart. It was the first time I had been in love and it's been a few years since and I still miss her and it does hurt when I think of her.
So that's my quick story, anybody else?
I've been here 6 years... Wow I'm old.

Miley Cyrus at Maxim Hot 100 Party | Photos
The Ring's Back On! Miley Cyrus Puts the Breakup Rumors to Rest
Miley Cyrus put the never-ending breakup rumors to rest when she put her engagement ring on display while walking the red carpet at the Maxim Hot 100 party at Create nightclub in LA last night. She wore a Valentino jumpsuit and flashed her bauble, which has been the subject of a lot of speculation after rumors surfaced in March that her relationship with Liam Hemsworth was on the rocks. Since the gossip began, Miley has been spotted not wearing her ring, and she ditched her bling when she attended the 2013 Met Gala earlier this month. However, she could have forgone the accessory in order to maintain her Marc Jacobs punk look, which featured several big rings.
Engagement rings aside, Miley has had a busy Spring so far. She earned the top spot on Maxim's Hot 100 list, which she celebrated by taking part in a sexy photo shoot. Miley is also focused on her upcoming new album and has been tweeting photos of herself in the recording studio. She also teased that she will make a "special announcement" at the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday.

April 1, 2013
The wet conditions of February failed to translate into March, but the cooler than normal weather continued virtually uninterrupted. According to data from the Oklahoma Mesonet, the month's statewide average temperature was 47.7 degrees, 2.5 degrees below normal and the 45th coolest March since records began in 1895. The two months together accomplished a relatively rare feat of late, becoming first consecutive months to finish below normal in Oklahoma since January and February 2011. This March stands in stark contrast to last year's record-breaking version, which ended at 59.6 degrees, 9.4 degrees above normal. Thanks to a late-month taste of spring storminess, the statewide average rainfall total climbed to 1.5 inches for the month, which fell about 1.6 inches below normal and ranked as the 33th driest on record. The first three months of the year came out fairly close to normal for both precipitation and temperature. The statewide average January-March temperature finished at 42.8 degrees, a tenth of a degree above normal, while the precipitation total of 6.44 inches was a tenth of an in above normal as well.
That late burst of springtime weather also came with a fair amount of severe weather. Reports of hail from the size of marbles to tennis balls came in from across the state on the 29th and 30th. Hail covered the ground and actually drifted in some parts of the state. At least one tornado was confirmed to have touched down late on the 30th in Sequoyah County near Sallisaw, damaging a home and downing power poles. More localized severe weather struck southern Oklahoma on the ninth and northern Oklahoma saw up to 3 inches of snow on the 24th.
The cooler than normal weather kept drought from spreading or intensifying, although drought impacts continued to be felt statewide. Data from the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service indicate 49 percent of the state's topsoils were rated as either "adequate" or "surplus" for moisture, meaning 51 percent were rated as "short" or "very short." Subsoils have not fared quite so well given the long-term nature of this drought. The subsoils were rated at 88 percent "short" or "very short" and only 12 percent were rated as "adequate." State pasture and range conditions were rated 70 percent "very poor" or "poor," with only 25 percent rated as "fair" and 5 percent rated as "good." Approximately 10 percent of the state was covered by Exceptional drought according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report, down from 35 percent three months ago. The entire state has remained in at least Moderate drought since July 2012. The Drought Monitor's intensity scale slides from Moderate-Severe-Extreme-Exceptional, with exceptional being the worst category.
A very active weather pattern appears possible during the first two weeks of April, which could bring further drought relief. Short- to medium-range forecast models indicate the potential for 2-4 inches of rainfall across the state during the first two weeks of the month. The April precipitation outlook from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center showed increased odds of above normal precipitation across the southeastern third of the state. The temperature outlook indicated increased odds of warmer than normal weather across all of Oklahoma. The U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook for April-June does call for drought to either persist or intensify through June for the southwestern third of the state and the Panhandle. Northeast of that area, "some improvement" could be seen, meaning drought will continue but not be eliminated. Far northeastern Oklahoma is expected to see drought improvement and impacts ease.
April is normally the fifth wettest month of the year with a statewide average of 3.36 inches. The last two Aprils have finished wetter than normal, only to be followed by drought intensification during May and June. The last two Aprils were also active severe weather months with 50 tornadoes during April 2011 and 53 in 2012, breaking the record for number of April tornadoes in consecutive years.

7 Dividend Stocks Shoveling Cash to Shareholders
Bristol-Myers Squibb
$56 billion drug maker Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) has had a strong year in 2011; shareholders have seen their stakes appreciate more than 25% since the first trading day of January. Now management is upping the ante, hiking the firm's quarterly dividend by 3.03% to 34 cents per share.
While that doesn't sound like much of an increase, BMY is already a perennially high-yielding stock (and one of the top-yielding drug stocks). Shares currently pay out a 4.08% yield on current share price levels.
Bristol's pharmaceutical pipeline puts it a step ahead of most of its peers. The firm treats its pipeline like any good portfolio manager, diversifying away the risks of failure though exposure to a significant number of treatments as well as partnerships with peer firms.

Amid the music, guests face off in pool or various other games, taking breaks between rounds to sip on beers and munch on finger-friendly foods.
Like a camera obscura built around a dinner table, Home Slice Pizza stays forever focused on its cuisine. Within the brick-lined establishment's kitchen, chefs toss and fire large and extra-large thin-crust pizzas topped with ingredients as classic as pepperoni and anchovies or as original as artichoke hearts, seasoned steak, and A1 sauce. Under this flavor ornamentation lies the pizzas' true foundation: cheese. Blends of mozzarella, feta, ricotta, cheddar, parmesan, and romano provide a solid base for creative ingredient combinations and add a gooey warmth to every bite. Not content to be confined to pizzas alone, cheese also douses orders of pan-baked cheese bread and supports focaccia subs flecked with herbs and stuffed with hot ham, turkey, bacon, and veggies.
Inside Miss Cue Sports Cafe, guests are greeted with the clatter of pool balls on 22 tables intermingling with the sound of laughter. Between table times, players shore up hand-eye coordination with games of shuffleboard and darts or play shrunken-down versions of sports, such as basketball shootout and foosball.
Sports fans keep one eye on the televisions scattered about the space and the other on the menu of Harry's Hot Dog Hut. The pure vienna beef hot dogs come with innovative toppings such as creamed peas, bacon, baked beans, and a spicy mango chutney made with a house recipe. The full-service bar stands at the ready to concoct libations that wash down dogs better than frosty mugs of mustard.
Landmarks of standup for decades, Connxtions Comedy Clubs remain mainstays for up-and-coming comics and national stars, with a roster of past performers that includes Sinbad, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, D. L. Hughley, and Rob Schneider. Headlining comedians, many seen on national television, keep the venues teetering Thursday–Saturday nights, whereas Wednesday nights host improv spectacles and open mics where rookies can begin their ascent into stardom or descent into miming. While refueling chuckle tanks, duos and groups can split a savory appetizer, such as cheese bread or chicken wings, or enjoy a potent cocktail at the bar.
Lido Lanes is a family-friendly bowling center offering a safe, clean environment for bowlers of all ages and skill levels. Each of the 16 waxen alleys sports a seating area, slimming lighting for weight-conscious bowling balls, and an automatic scoring system that spares bowlers the hassle of learning the game's complex scoring algorithms and theorems (such as Fermat's Last Frame). Along with stylish shoes, the spoils of your tribe's lane domination treat you to one tantalizing appetizer from Lido Lanes' bar and grill. Onion rings (a $3.40 value) provide circular sustenance, and deluxe nachos (a $4.90 value) roll in on spinning rims to satisfy the barbarian hunger generated by your three brawny ball battles. To accompany its guttural symphony of shattered strikes and exploding turkeys, Lido Lanes invites live bands, such as Chicago blues bands, country signers, and Irish bands, to rock out on the lanes during Rock N Bowl night.
The culinary faculty behind Manhattan's captivates diners with dense lunch and dinner menus inspired by the sights and meals of New York City. Rouse dormant appetites with an order of Times Square overstuffed mushrooms, sizzling caps packed with crab and salmon ($10), or the Maumee Bay, a grilled asparagus salad sprinkled with blue cheese and pine nuts under a strawberry-vanilla vinaigrette ($10). Metropolitan bellies find fulfillment in a plate of the tortellini di sausage, tossed with sweet peppers and tomato sauce ($16), or a New York 12-ounce certified angus strip, grilled and topped with a red-wine compound butter ($23).

NSA Hacked Huawei, Stole Source Code
timothy posted about 10 months ago | from the whose-line-is-it-anyway dept.
287Charliemopps (1157495) writes "New documents from Snowden indicate that the NSA hacked into and stole documents, including source code, from the Chinese networking firm Huawei. Ironically, this is the same firm that the U.S. government has argued in the past was a threat due to China's possible use of the same sort of attacks."

In town for a wedding. Spent two nights at this property, and left totally satisfied. Pros: scored a great rate booking directly through Hilton's website. The price was right, and parking was free. BWI's hotel district is an easy 15-minute drive to downtown Baltimore, and so this hotel was an excellent option to save some money while visiting the city. Speaking of parking-- we had two cars, and on the first night we had no trouble finding two spots together right next to the building. The hotel has several entrances (locked but accessible by key card), so even if you park around back, you won't have to drag your luggage all the way to the front of the building after you've checked in. Other pros: the room was fine, clean, mini-fridge, microwave, decent free wifi. Breakfast was typical Hampton Inn, *but* they extend their weekend hours from 6 AM (5:15 AM for cold items) until 11 AM-- an hour longer than most Hampton Inns. Also, the front desk gave a later-than-usual late check-out-- until 2 PM. Only a few minor cons-- some updates needed (e.g. our bathroom hand towel rack fell out of the wall... not a big deal), there is no pool, no Hampton pantry to buy snacks/drinks (just vending machines, which offered quite a limited selection). One last plus: this hotel includes menus for local eateries/delivery options in the room information binder-- super helpful for out of town travelers (esp. those without a car) to find something to eat in an area where there's not much within walking distance. Hotel staff were uniformly welcoming and helpful throughout the weekend. Overall, a solid choice when visiting the BWI/Baltimore area. Would gladly stay again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Beautiful, recently renovated hotel offers 182 elegantly appointed rooms and a cozy lobby complete with fireplace, TV viewing area and business center. Room rate includes full hot breakfast, Monday-Thursday Manager Reception, wireless access, parking, free shuttle to airport and rail stations. Hilton honors rewards available. Convenient to major highways and Inner Harbor, just one mile from BWI Airport, Amtrak and light rail stations. Many weekend packages available. 100% non-smoking and pet friendly. ... more less

With significant interest growing in degradable and biobased polymers, and many new technologies being developed to produce them, the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) plans its second international symposium on these materials just prior to the 2006 NPE show, the world's largest plastics trade show. The International Degradable Plastics Symposium: Status of Biobased and Synthetic Polymer Technology will take place in Chicago June 14-17, 2006, and be followed June 19-23 in Chicago by NPE 2006: The International Plastics Showcase, also sponsored by SPI. Co-sponsors of the symposium with SPI are the Bio/Environmental Polymer Society (BEPS) and the Ninth World Conference on Biodegradable Polymers and Plastics (BDPP). Lynne Harris, SPI's vice president of science and technology, said presentations will cover technology, markets, applications, and legal and regulatory matters. SPI conducted the first U.S. symposium on degradable technologies in 1987. "While our first symposium was well received, degradable polymers were still in their infancy," Harris noted. "Since the last NPE in 2003, there has been a sudden burst of innovation in degradable polymers, spurred on by the prospect of regulatory mandates as well as preferences in some sectors of the consumer market. SPI and its co-sponsors are organizing the symposium in recognition of an enormous 'need to know' in the plastics industry and among many government agencies." Major topics anticipated for the International Degradable Plastics Symposium, June 14-17, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.: Biobased Nanocomposites Biodegradable Polyesters Cellulose Polymers and Composites Composting and Infrastructure Degradable Plastics Terminology and Standards Environmental Fate and Ecotoxity Testing Life Cycle and Environmental Footprint Analysis Litter and Technology to Mitigate Litter Natural Fiber Composites New and Emerging Markets and Applications Photodegradable and Chemically Degradable Polymers Processing of Biobased Polymers and Plastics Protein-Based Materials Regulatory and Ecological Issues Starch-Based Materials Vegetable Oil Polymers and Composites Water-Soluble Polymers, Hydrogels, and Superabsorbents

Miley Cyrus' Final Album Is Less Than Two Months Away!
Depending on your feelings about Miley Cyrus, this news will come as either a source of heartache or a reason for celebration.
It was announced today that the Hannah Montana star's upcoming album, Can't Be Tamed, will be released on June 22. And since Cyrus has already adamantly stated that her next album will be her last, so she can focus on her sure-to-be-successful acting career, this can only mean one thing: In less than two months, the world will be robbed of hearing and enjoying and reveling in new Miley Cyrus music for the rest of time.
But don't bust out those Disney brand razor blades in despair just yet; there are a few last hurrahs before the final farewell. The title song and first single from the album will premiere on MySpace Music on April 30 at 12 p.m. EST, and will be available as a digital single via iTunes on May 18. Best of all, the Can't Be Tamed album will be available in a standard CD version, and a very special CD/DVD package, which will contain a DVD of a full presentation from Cyrus' "Miley World" tour. So don't worry; we'll be able to relive the joy of a Miley Cyrus concert forever—the songs, the cheering, the inappropriate dance moves...
Are you saddened that the end of Miley's music career is coming so soon? Share with us in the comments section.
