I liked the customer service the availability the prices the view the location and the consideration of the employees when I needed a late check out
the only thing I didn't like I wasn't able to stay longer
Location, setup of building, excellent water pressure in shower, friendly staff, inexpensive soda-snack machines...
TVs screen is tiny, 1st floor rooms are never available & stairs to 2nd floor are in locations that make it a chore to move in luggage, no refrigerators/microwaves, furniture in room tends to be long overdue for a cleaning....
near airport
Room was clean and pretty quiet for being so close to the airport. Staff was very friendly. Would stay again when in town
All was excellent
Very helpful and friendly staff
It was close to the airport and the cheapest room I could find.
They tried to price gouge me before I made a reservation online. Wasn't even very creative, just added $100 dollars to the number I gave him from the website I first saw them on. After checking in and going to sleep someone tried to get into my room while I was sleeping. I woke up at 7 so maybe the cleaning service but doubtful. I am convinced someone was trying to rob me in my sleep and do who knows what else. Luckily I had the swing lock on, but they left the door open. I had to close the door to disengage the lock so I know I didn't leave open.
A very convenient location, between a major freeway and a parallel major street. The breakfast was also very convenient.
The parking was very tedious, given that both of the lots are small and one of them has directional parking in which it is difficult to back out.
Close to the airport with shuttle service.
Guests checking in and out at all hours, hallways very noisy.
Very relaxing, helpful staff, easy check in and out.
Paying $25 per night for overnight parking.
Last minute reservation, looking for low price. Room was $89.
There was an aroma in the room, maybe like an air freshner. The place just did not match the price.
Rennovation attempts were in evidence.
Police raids. Hookers. Diaper stuck to the mattress.
The area was beautiful it is right on the ocean.
When we arrived they did not have the e-mail correcting the right amount of days. Before we left home we called to see if everything was set and they said yes. When we arrived they had it wrong.
The laundry washing machine was broken and no replacement for it, and it is quite far from San Francisco
I booked this hotel as it was a good price, had great reviews and was convenient enough for a conference at the Moscone Center without paying ridiculous downtown prices. I wasn't disappointed. The staff were all really nice, the room was comfortable, very eclectic design, modern bathrooms, but some very opulent furniture. About a 15 min walk to the BART, 10 min to Caltrain, about 5 min walk to the downtown San Bruno area that has quite a few restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay there again and make time to try the spa!
I didn't think the breakfast buffet was anything special. but since it was included in the price, can't complain.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Investors got to face some of their biggest fears last week, and for the first time in more than a month, they flinched.
We learned last week that the Federal Reserve is considering ways to reduce the stimulus program, and that China's manufacturing sector appears to be contracting. The cumulative stress of that news sent stocks around the world lower. U.S. equities performed better than some overseas markets, but they weren't immune.
The Dow fell 51.3 points on the week, or 0.33%, to 15,303.1. The S&P 500 dropped 17.87 points, or 1.07%, to end at 1,649.60. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index lost 38.92 points, or 1.14%, to 3,459.14. All three indexes snapped four-week winning streaks.
It was the week that the Fed tested the brakes on the easy-money machine currently driving the market forward. Multiple members of the Fed Open Market Committee were open to slowing down the stimulus program as soon as June if the economy improves, minutes released Wednesday from the group's meeting a month ago showed. In testimony before Congress the same day, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reassured the markets that he doesn't want to stop the asset-buying program too abruptly. But investors balked nonetheless.
Aside from Wednesday, though, U.S. equity trading didn't have a strong bearish tilt, and few expect the six-month bull run to suddenly reverse. After a late rally on Friday, the Dow made it past 100 days without a single three-day losing streak, the longest such streak ever.
But investors are still a little giddy, like the high school seniors coasting through second semester who haven't yet realized they should be looking for a summer job. Investor surveys and put-call ratios are remarkably bullish, says Christian Andreach, the co-head of global equities at Manning & Napier. "We are a little bit concerned by some of the complacency out there," he says.
Some fear that investors now entering the market are simply playing catch-up.
"When people are being forced to buy for no other reason than they feel they have to for fear of missing the rally, that's not a healthy market," said Garth Friesen, co-chief investment officer at hedge fund III Associates, and a member of the New York Fed's Investor Advisory Committee. "We've been advocating a little more caution. The whole move we've had in the S&P this year has been due to multiple expansion."
Some stocks saw particularly large swings on the week. Procter & Gamble PG -0.5550621669626998% Procter & Gamble Co. U.S.: NYSE USD89.58 -0.5 -0.5550621669626998% /Date(1422309734258-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9173568 AFTER HOURS USD89.96 0.38 0.42420183076579593% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 198125 P/E Ratio 23.508725888990945 Market Cap 243406875143.04 Dividend Yield 2.8738557713775394% Rev. per Employee 710068 More quote details and news » (ticker: PG) rose 4% on Friday after the company announced late on Thursday that CEO Robert McDonald had suddenly retired and former CEO A.G. Lafley was taking his place. McDonald had been under fire from investors after the company posted weak third quarter results last month, and activist investor Bill Ackman had been agitating for change.
Saks (SKS) jumped 31% on the week on news speculating the retailer might merge with privately held rival Neiman Marcus.
Touch-screen company Uni-Pixel UNXL -0.3824091778202677% Uni-Pixel Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD5.21 -0.02 -0.3824091778202677% /Date(1422309600204-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 41192 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 64595729.3577385 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 271.643 More quote details and news » (UNXL) fell 12% on the week, after a 22% drop the previous week. Uni-Pixel said it now expects products with its UniBoss films to hit shelves in the fourth quarter instead of the third quarter because of delays at a partner; management said its own manufacturing schedule was still on track. The company was featured in a skeptical Barron's story two weeks ago ("Out of Touch?," May 13).
TWO LARGELY UNRELATED themes have developed in the equity market in the past few months. Investors have plowed money into defensive stocks as they seek higher dividend yields and steady growth outside of the bond markets. As a result, health care and consumer stocks have soared this year.
But among many investors, risk-taking is in favor. Stocks considered riskier, or "higher beta," have outperformed the overall market, with the Powershares High Beta Portfolio sphb 0.662451068955134% PowerShares S&P 500 High Beta Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 33.43 0.22 0.662451068955134% /Date(1422309588583-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 45055 AFTER HOURS 33.18 -0.25 -0.7478312892611427% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.4608435536942865% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SPHB) advancing 9% in the past month, even as the S&P has risen 4.5%.

Those stocks are among the top performers in the S&P 500 in the second quarter, so far. In fact, the 50 stocks in the S&P 500 with the highest short interest have far outperformed the 50 stocks with the lowest short interest in the current quarter. As of early last week, the short-sellers' favorites were up 12%, while the stocks they've ignored were down 5%, according to Bespoke Investment Group. Bespoke calls it "the dash for trash."
"People are either reaching for yield or groping for growth," says Brian Jacobsen of Wells Fargo Funds Management. "You've got a lot in the middle there that just doesn't seem to move much one way or the other."
ONE SECTOR THAT has performed well this year is health care, up about 22%. But some companies have been left behind in the rally.

Express Scripts acts as a middleman between employers and pharmacies, processing about 1.5 billion prescriptions every year. The company bought rival Medco Health Solutions last year, and now manages prescriptions for roughly a third of Americans. Its sales are expected to jump to $101.1 billion in 2013 from $46.1 billion in 2011, before the Medco deal closed.
"Now they're the dominant player," says Maxim Group analyst Anthony Vendetti. "Express Scripts clearly has the No. 1 foothold in the market, in terms of revenues, in terms of customers. The stock hasn't yet reflected its bargaining power" with both drug companies and clients.
Analysts and bullish investors expect Express Scripts' results to start showing the company's increased power and greater efficiency soon. Express Scripts could benefit as major drugs continue to lose patent protection, because the company earns a better margin on generic drug prescriptions than on branded ones. The Medco acquisition has helped Express Scripts boost its specialty pharmaceutical and mail-order businesses, both of which add to profitability. And CEO George Paz says the company has gotten hip to what he calls "consumerology," a far-out way of saying that the company is mining its prescription data to find better ways of keeping patients healthy and improving its business.
The improvements are starting to show up in Express Scripts' results. After initially tamping down expectations late last year on concerns about the economy, the company is now exceeding its lowered targets.
In the first quarter, Express Scripts posted earnings of $374 million, or an adjusted 99 cents a share, on $26.06 billion in revenue. Analysts had been expecting 97 cents a share on $25.048 billion in revenue. For the full year, Express Scripts raised its guidance by three cents to between $4.23 and $4.33 a share, which amounts to growth of 13% to 16%. Analysts are projecting $4.29.
Managing prescriptions is a low-margin business—the company is paid a small fee for each prescription it processes. But the merger is helping Express Scripts cut costs, and margins are expected to swing higher.
Gross margins rose to 7.8% in the first quarter from about 7.1% a year ago.
"A 10-to-20-basis-point change in gross margin [a 0.1%-0.2% change] has a major impact on the bottom line," says Vendetti. "If the margins expand, there's a lot of opportunity for the shares to benefit."
Express Scripts has estimated that it will be able to cut $1 billion in annual costs through the merger, a small but still significant portion of the company's $90 billion in costs. Following the Medco merger, total debt spiked to nearly $16 billion at the end of 2012 from $2.5 billion in 2010. But Express Scripts has been able to boost its free cash flow considerably, allowing it to pay off its obligations more quickly than it had anticipated. The company generated $4.6 billion in free cash flow in 2012, more than double what it generated in 2011.
That allowed Express Scripts to begin buying back shares earlier than expected. After holding off on buybacks for a year to pay off debt, the company announced a new plan in March to repurchase 75 million shares, or about 9% of its total share count.
The buybacks could help the company post annual growth in earnings per share of 15%, wrote Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilat this month in upgrading shares to Buy with a $74 price target.

Air travel is 70% of gross bookings, or the total amount that customers pay in transactions; much of that goes directly to the airline, hotel, or car-rental company. Air travel is 33% of Orbitz's revenue, which is the cut the company takes of gross bookings.
It was a serious goof, but it doesn't affect our view that Orbitz's 250% jump in share price over the past six months—mainly in reaction to increases in hotel revenue—isn't justified by the long-term prospects. Though the hotel business has markedly higher margins than those of air travel, it accounts for just 31% of revenue, too small to justify such an enormous stock rise.
We asked Orbitz for a hotel outlook for 2013, but the company declined to comment. Marketing costs and other expenses are increasing faster than the first quarter's 7% rise in total revenue, and will probably continue to do so. Despite the first-quarter hotel improvement, Orbitz reported a $12 million loss before taxes, double the level of a year earlier. Still doesn't sound like a stock that should be trading at 22 times next year's estimated earnings. -- Vito J. Racanelli

Knee surgery for Huddlestone
18 May 2009 - 11:57:32
Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone will miss the final game of the season against Liverpool after being forced to have surgery on his injured left knee.
The 22-year-old former Derby County star will also miss this summer's Under-21 European Championships.
Meanwhile, Jermain Defoe insists there isn't a drinking culture at the club.
Harry Redknapp has threatened to introduce an alcohol ban at White Hart Lane after Ledley King's recent arrest following his boorish behaviour during a night-out in London.
However, Defoe said: "When you come back from injury, you have to be professional. If you think about it, if I was one of those people drinking every week I don't think I'll be able to perform how I perform.
"It's crazy when you pick up the papers and you read something that's so far from the truth, like you're in a nightclub 48 hours before a game.
"The thing is I've never had a problem. In the time I've been playing football there's never been anything about me drinking.
"I don't see why all of a sudden people say I'm drinking. It's unbelievable. I went to an event on Tuesday , then I was with my family and I went home. We had a day off on Wednesday and I performed on Saturday."

Greenwich Police are appealing for information after a moped driver's road rage in Eltham sparked a serious assault and car theft.
The attack happened after a 19-year-old driver beeped his horn at a moped which was being driven erratically and forcing him to stop along Bromhedge on February 21 at around 4.30pm.
The moped driver reacted by smashing the wing mirror of the victim's Skoda Fabia before riding off into Chapel Farm Road.
The victim, who followed him to exchange details, was then seriously assaulted by the moped driver and two other men in Chapel Farm Road.
One of the attackers stole the car, which contained the victim's mobile phone and an Apple Mac, while the other two fled on the moped.
The first suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, around 6ft 2 ins high, of slim build, with a spotty complexion, corn row styled hair and wearing a black hat and dark jeans.
The second suspect is described as a black man, in his late teens, around 5ft 6 ins high, with short hair, wearing blue jeans.
Detective constable Andy Brackley, in charge of the investigation, said: "I am keen to hear from anyone who is able to assist with our ongoing enquiries.
"If you have any information, please contact us in confidence."
Anyone with information is asked to call DC Brackley on 020 8 284 9573 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 55 111.

White Paper Released to Help Improve Hypoxia Forecast Models
A NOAA and Northern Gulf Institute forum and workshop produce useful resources to achieve the goal of reducing the hypoxic zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico's increasingly severe dead zone is one of the world's largest, and the biggest one that affects a U.S. fishery.
In order to increase the focus and mitigate the problem, NOAA and NGI put together the Modeling Technical Review Panel of experts who recently released a technical white paper titled, Modeling Approaches for Scenario Forecasts of Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia. The review paper is a product produced as a result of the partnership's Forum for Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Research Coordination and Advancement and the 5th Annual NOAA/NGI Gulf Hypoxia Research Coordination Workshop held last summer. The forum and workshop provided hypoxia stakeholders an opportunity to assess the state of scenario forecast models targeting hypoxic zone dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
"Sciences' top minds shared hypoxia monitoring and modeling output data and Gulf hypoxic zone research to help inform and refine management plans and forecast models," Steve Ashby, co-director of NGI, said. "The Gulf Hypoxic Zone Modeling Technical Review Panel assessed the modeling and management methods to mitigate hypoxia to create best practices that inter-agencies like the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance can implement into effective control and eradication strategies."
Hypoxia in aquatic systems is a global issue. It is a low oxygen condition-below 2 mg/L-created when nutrients from farm fertilizer and manure mixed with sewage and runoff from suburban lawns, flow down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. It is here that this potent blend feeds algae that bloom, die and decompose, robbing the Gulf's waters of oxygen and creating a dead zone each summer. It forms in the late spring and summer and typically covers around 6,000 square miles, and in some, around 8,000 square miles - roughly the size of New Jersey.
These scenario forecast models provide decision makers with the ability to examine the effect of multiple management scenarios on resources of concern for hypoxia. This often involves the ability to examine the relative influences of climatological (winds, currents, salinity) and land-based (nutrients and freshwater inputs) factors on the formation and maintenance of coastal hypoxia. As discussed by those at the 2013 forum, models were assessed based on their ability to address key management questions, their infrastructure, observational and remaining research needs and their state of development.

Current Reports
The Northern Gulf Institute's Progress Report includes research accomplishments and findings for multiple ongoing projects. The total funding equates to over $10M. The research ventures feature topics like expansion of ocean observations. The NGI Annual Report tells the stories of the scientists' research accomplishments highlighted in the Progress Report, and explains in detail why this research is important and relevant. Previous reports are also available.

Solar vitality know-how has advanced above the several years with the functionality to get you totally off the grid even if you reside in a housing tract. When you imagine a photo voltaic-driven household do you see a cabin in the woods exactly where the only vitality you can get is from photo voltaic and wind, or do you see large, unattractive panels on roofs exactly where folks are continually stressing about their electrical use. Do you imagine not currently being able to delight in the large-display televisions, many fridges, or even dwelling without having air conditioning in a incredibly hot weather in your home? These sights on photo voltaic abilities are significantly diverse these days as the demand from customers for photo voltaic vitality has develop into vital in this economic system. Finding off-the-grid is no for a longer time only a desire, but is becoming a actuality for residential and business properties who demand solar panels.
Making photo voltaic electrical power is seriously a new concept for some folks. The "outdated" off-the-grid stereotype does not healthy in the economic system of these days with its state-of-the-art know-how. When you see properties with photo voltaic arrays on the roof these days, these households are generally connected to standard utilities also. By utilizing a combination of traditional vitality and photo voltaic vitality, these home owners are able to considerably slash their electrical power expenses and not sacrifice their life style at all in the way they use electrical power. It is highly probable that the home owners of these days can churn out a enough quantity of photo voltaic vitality to fulfill their demands and even have excessive vitality they can market back again to the utility businesses for a modify, instead than acquiring charged for the vitality they consume.
Putting in a photo voltaic array on your roof does not expense as significantly as quite a few count on.

There are at the very least ten federal incentives you can get for setting up renewable and effective vitality. Most federal packages contain tax credits, corporate and personal exemptions and unique financial loans and grants for residential household mortgages and renewable vitality manufacturing. Most, if not all states offer incentives as effectively, like regional rebates, home tax incentives, revenue tax incentives, and quite a few far more. Some states even consider care of up to 70 % of installation expenses. If you are contemplating about setting up photo voltaic panels for your household, listed here are a handful of information you will need to have to know to support you in creating the decision to go photo voltaic.
About Solar Panels for Houses
Solar panels, or photovoltaic systems, transform sunlight into electrical vitality. Each photo voltaic panel is composed usually of a team of about thirty-40 photo voltaic cells designed with crystalline silicon or some other form of sunlight absorbing product. The components they are designed of are highly effective at absorbing mild. Each and every photo voltaic panel is just a series of photo voltaic cells connected all jointly and encased in a shielding enclosure with a crystal clear face to make it possible for sunlight to enter and a solid backing. The complete panel is sealed to prevent moisture from degrading the panel.
The element of the photo voltaic mobile the sunlight is absorbed into is considered to be electrically unfavorable, and the bottom of just about every mobile is considered to be electrically positive. When the sunlight is absorbed into the silicon cells, electrons are knocked loose and journey from the prime (electrically unfavorable) to the bottom (electrically positive) layer. This sunlight-induced electrical vitality is passed via the contacts in the prime layer and is routed via the circuit array, manufacturing electrical energy.
Not ample sunlight?
Even if you do not get ample sunlight to make electrical power to satisfy all of your vitality demands, you can still advantage greatly by setting up photo voltaic panels for your household. The majority of modern day households with photo voltaic panels mounted are not solely off-the-grid. A lot of households use both equally photo voltaic panels and standard utilities. Doing it this way, they reduce the expense of their electrical power use and depend less on the standard energy acquired from the utility organization. They are not totally off-the-grid, but they can still preserve vitality even though continuing to make use of all the appliances they are accustomed to. People often worry about the average cost, but it's not really that much.
What is the Average Cost for These Solar Panels?
For more detailed information, go to www.gogreenacademy.com. They have an article that gives you the details on how to get tax credits from the federal government and lays out for you what is the average cost of solar panels for a home.
But if you do not go the "hybrid" route of currently being partly on the grid and supplementing your vitality with photo voltaic, you need to count on your installation to expense far more. Finding totally off the grid commonly expenses about $twelve to $15 for each watt. This equates to $12K to $15K for each kilowatt hour of vitality you want to produce. In contrast to upwards of $35K for each mile the utility organization would charge you to operate electric powered lines to your place, photo voltaic vitality is significantly far more expense effective. If your household is in an isolated spot exactly where business electrical power is not readily available, the only way to get electrical power is to count on photo voltaic vitality. The expense of setting up photo voltaic panels is considerably outweighed by the important breaks in your electric powered monthly bill as a final result. Even so, it will consider a handful of several years to understand a return on your expenditure and less time if you are able to market excessive vitality back again to the utility organization.Solar panels are a wonderful way to conserve on vitality and methods. Combining photo voltaic energy with wind turbines and other option vitality sources can make you completely self-enough. To be prosperous in reaping the advantages of option vitality, you need to be positive to do all you can to make your household vitality-effective by setting up items like Energy Star appliances, effective mild bulbs, effective cooling and heating systems and other effective appliances. In addition, individual devoted vitality systems can be utilized such as photo voltaic and geothermal h2o heating systems for your pool and/or bath, utilizing portable photo voltaic panel systems for parts exactly where you do not need to have electrical power all the time and, commonly, just finding out about your vitality use habits to insure your household is vitality effective and environmentally friendly.

Oscar Watching In Small Town USA: Fandom At The Mercy Of The Movie Decider
By Nancy Wurtzel on February 20, 2013
Featured Member Post
Do you ever feel as though you are moving backward instead of forward? With all the hoopla leading up to the Oscars telecast this Sunday, backward is exactly what I'm feeling.
Let me explain.

When I was a kid growing up in Central Minnesota, I was totally obsessed with the Oscars. I loved the statues, the dresses, the drama -- even those long acceptance speeches. It was a spectacle that took me out of my rural, small-town life, and I relished every single minute.
Perhaps you also remember when Barbara Streisand accepted her award for Funny Girl, wearing that silly see-through outfit or when Bob Hope hosted for the umpteenth time and joked (yet again) about never being nominated. In my mind, I can still picture the ever-dapper David Niven keeping his cool as a streaker bounded across the stage behind him. I recall a frail Charlie Chaplin receiving a lengthy standing ovation after being snubbed by the academy for decades and the ultra-glamorous Elizabeth Taylor winning a statuette.
However, experiencing the Oscars in real time also had its drawbacks. You see, coming from a conservative farming community meant that I would have only seen a few of the nominated movies.
At that time, we had a movie theater with just a single screen. The owner was old Mr. Parsons who was, in our little town, the movie god. Or, as I think of him now: The Movie Decider. He, and he alone, selected which movies were shown in his beloved movie house. If a film was too risque or too liberal, then Mr. Parsons would simply pass.
Take Easy Rider or Midnight Cowboy, for example. Both were deemed bad for the local youth, so they they were nixed. Mr. Parsons gave the green light to Goldfinger, a James Bond movie. Although, I heard later that he had confused it with a John Wayne western and it closed after two showings.
Our movie diet mainly consisted of Elvis Presley and beach blanket bingo flicks. Movies of great artistry were suspicious and Mr. Parsons simply avoided booking them.
This all leads me to my present-day situation. Now that I am once again living part time in my small Midwestern town, I've found myself in much the same situation of my youth. While I am looking forward to my beloved Oscars, sadly I've not seen all of the nominated movies.
Mr. Parsons is long-deceased, but our local movie house, which now has multiple screens but looks remarkably the same from the outside, hasn't shown all of the nominated movies. While some things have changed, much remains the same in a small town.
So, yes, I'll be watching the Oscars this Sunday and no doubt will enjoy the experience. I'll fondly remember my history of watching the awards through the years and I'll be sure to raise my glass to the The Movie Decider.
Are you at the mercy of a Movie Decider? How many of the films in competition have you seen so far this year?

AMD chips in Los Alamos lab's Roadrunner system to be augmented with the PlayStation's processing brains.
Three years after chip's debut, Big Blue wholeheartedly embraces Opteron with five new servers.
Top execs expected to go public with effort to boost Big Blue's servers with AMD's chips, CNET News.com has learned.
Opteron advantages, plus HP and Sun successes with the chip, could mean a stronger commitment from IBM.
It's the second server model with the chip in a product line that places more emphasis on rival processors from Intel.
Big Blue will use AMD's chip in a high-performance server but isn't yet planning a general-purpose Opteron system.
Big Blue takes the wraps off the IntelliStation A Pro, the latest computer to use AMD's 64-bit capable chip.
The software maker begins public testing of an update designed to make its new premium Linux product work better on IBM servers and computers that use Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron chip.
At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco, CNET's Brian Cooley gets a look at the new IBM eServer 325, which features dual Opteron processors, a Linux operating system and a lower price point.
Big Blue plans to use AMD's Opteron processor into a workstation next year, an endorsement that could help the chipmaker gain acceptance in the crucial corporate market.
IBM officially introduces its eServer 325, based on the AMD Opteron chip, and unveils a project in which the machine will aid in biology and materials science research.
Fans of clustered supercomputing machines get a first glimpse of the dual-processor, rack-mounted system built around AMD's Opteron chip.
Fans of clustered supercomputing machines will get a first glimpse of the dual-processor, rack-mounted system built around AMD's Opteron chip at this week's ClusterWorld show.
"Never in the history of Microsoft-compatible microprocessors..."
Big Blue says it will use AMD's new high-end processor in future server hardware to answer customers' requests for a modestly priced high-performance machine.
Newisys, founded by IBM alumni, hopes to make its mark as one of the first companies to create and offer rack-mountable servers using AMD's forthcoming Opteron processor.
IBM recently ported DB2 to run on AMD's Opteron 64-bit processor--and it only took Big Blue two days to do it. IBM's not ready to officially endorse the AMD platform, but Giga believes the Opteron's price/performance benefits will have to be proven
Although AMD's Opteron has not yet shipped, IBM will be one of the first major software vendors to announce support for the dual personality processor that will be able to run 32- or 64-bit operating systems and applications.

My husband and I would like to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary somewhere fun, but with young kids that family will need to watch for us, we don't want to go too far or too long. So Europe is probably out since we may have only 4 days or so, but we'd be open to anywhere in the US. We are not people that love to lie on the beach - we prefer places with things to see. Any suggestions?
Where to take anniversary vacation?

Good point - time of year will likely be either May or September, and we will be departing from NYC.

*Yellowstone National Park! That'd be my first pick. Stay in the Old Faithful Inn.
*Erie PA. is a close second. Right on Lake Erie, nice beaches to dip your toes in, but water is cold. Ships to tour, and little cruises into old German villages with lots of shops.
*Grand Canyon - Definately! Takes your breath away!
*Canyon Lands National Park or
*Arches National Park in Utah. Other breath taking sights! I've been all over the US, so it would also help to know what you like to do. -

If you never got to Montreal, I'd say go from NYC and take the train up to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Take the Maid in the Mist Tour, check out the area, then, catch the train up to Montreal. Or Toronto. Or Quebec City.
You get a combination of the fun and the romantic. -

Fly to New Orleans and stay at The Ritz Carlton. Have lunch at Galatoire's, Mr. B's and Bon Ton. Have dinner at Stella, Emeril's, Bayona and Irene's. Go to Commander's Palace for lunch.
Fly to Charleston, SC and stay at The French Quarter Inn. Have dinner at Charleston Place, McCrady's, High Cotton and Husk. Have lunch at Amen Street Seafood and Pearlz Oyster Bar.
Or fly to Quebec City and stay at Chateau Frontenac. -

We went to Key West for our 10th Wedding Anniversary last year. No lying on the beach for us there. We did lots of sightseeing and ate in really great resturants. Did a bar hop and sailing on the water. It was a great vacation.
I agree with Las Vegas and New Orleans also. Great sightseeing and food.
We going to Seattle and an Alaksan cruise this year. Though the cruise might be more than what you are looking for, we found lots of things to see and do in Seattle for the 4 days we will be there.
If your interested, check out our picture site. We've been to many destinations and it might give you an idea.

I don't think I'd go to New Orleans in September. I'm pretty sure it's really hot, and I'm not sure what's going on at that time of year.
Key West will be hot as well, but, smaller city, and you should have sea breezes.
I've only been to the Grand Canyon in March, guessing it would be hot as well.
In other words, if you're heading to a warm weather destination, I'd go in May. -

We went to Savannah in mid-September and enjoyed good weather. Stay at the Ballastone Inn (ballastone.com) which is a very romantic B&B, well located in the Historic District. A wonderful breakfast is included, tea is served each afternoon, and hors doeurves each evening. Sherry and Port and biscotti (or some sort of sweet) after return home from an evening out.
Eat at the Olde Pink House (http://tinyurl.com/4tq95ya). Have lunch at Mrs. Wilkes (www.mrswilkes.com). Visit the tourist center and tour their museum, take a city tour, walk along River Street and stop at the candy store. Visit the Telfair Museum, tour an old mansion.
It's a wonderful city and I think a perfect place to celebrate an anniversary. I have a file I put together when planning our trip there. If you'd like a copy, e-mail me: firstname.lastname@example.com -

I would trust HTTY's picks. For me I like fly to Las Vegas, rent a car see Zion or Bryce and maybe Death Valley.
Take one of the tours from Las Vegas to the south rim of the Grand Canyon to avoid a long drive going or coming back in the dark.
For our 30th, my DW and I went to Whitefish MT/Glacier NP.
For our 35th, we went to Yosemite NP from Fresno.
On both of those trips, we arrived by Amtrak and rented a car.
With only 4-5 days maybe you should stay closer to home. -
Report Abuse
Traveling anywhere west of the Mississippi will pretty much whack two full days for travel; I think you'd be better off staying closer.
My picks would be Quebec City, Memphis and the Delta, Charleston, Portsmouth NH, or maybe Austin/TX hill country.

Kimball High already has itself a boys basketball team to be reckoned with, and that's without a senior class.
In a game that saw quality offense displayed in brief spurts, East Union senior Robert Vaughn had to convert on a pair of free throws in the game's final minute and he made good, sending the Oakdale Mustangs home with a 44-41 Valley Oak League defeat Friday at Dalben Center.
The first quarter put the Manteca High boys basketball team in a good position to depart from Sonora with a Valley Oak League win, but their fast start would not last a 46-42 league loss Friday.
LATHROP - The Spartans gave it their all Friday against visiting Weston Ranch.
Justin Patton scored half of the Sierra High sophomore boys basketball team's 22 first-quarter points and ended up with a game-high19 points, helping the Timberwolves crush visiting Kimball 82-39 Friday.
Ripon High's boys basketball team didn't have too tough a challenge from the Hughson Huskies, and it showed in a 67-34 blowout Trans Valley League victory Friday in Ripon.
Without reigning Valley Oak League MVP Cassandra Clark and two other starters, Oakdale High's girls basketball team didn't have a chance against the conference's four-time defending champion.
Sharon Washington wanted this one badly and played like it.
So far, so good for Ripon Christian's girls basketball team.
Sarah Phillips got it going for East Union's varsity wrestling team with a hard-fought 9-7 victory in the 103-pound match, but it was all Weston Ranch after that in a Valley Oak League double-dual Wednesday at Dalben Center.
WESTON RANCH – In the opening minutes, it seemed like Lathrop High's girls basketball team was ready to take on the challenge of keeping pace with Weston Ranch, but as time wore on the Spartans were clearly in over their heads in a 75-47 Valley Oak League loss Thursday.
It has been quite some time since the Weston Ranch High sophomore girls basketball team have been on the short-end of a basketball game, and that fact didn't change Thursday when the Cougars remained perfect in Valley Oak League play with a 50-40 win over Lathrop High.
LATHROP – When the Oakdale Mustangs packed up their bags and made their way back towards Oakdale, Lathrop and Manteca highs entangled in a more competitive Valley Oak League match, yet the Spartans were the superior program in a 50-26 win Wednesday.
The Manteca High boys varsity basketball squad had several advantages over Lathrop on Wednesday.
The East Union Lancers walked into the locker room protecting a one-point lead, and it took everything in their power not to let that lead slip away in a 62-60 Valley Oak League win over the Kimball Jaguars Wednesday.
STOCKTON – It came down to one bout.
STOCKTON - Sierra's uneven effort of late was bound to catch up to the Timberwolves.
Weston Ranch mounted a late charge but came up short in a 53-50 loss to Merced in the semifinal round of the 37th Annual Tony Contreras Delta Queen Classic at Stagg High on Friday.
With intentions of challenging his team, Manteca head coach Brett Lewis sent out an email to coaches from the Bay Area and Sacramento region in the offseason to set up a nonleague game.
Elisabeth Alexander wasn't entirely satisfied with her effort Thursday in the first round of the 37th Annual Tony Contreras Delta Queen Classic at Stagg High.
STOCKTON - The Sierra High Timberwolves saw their 23-point, second-half lead dwindle down to a single point in the final seconds against Chavez Thursday.
Sierra cross country coach Mike Rosendin has been named one of the Sac-Joaquin Section's six Model Coaches of the Year.
Cole Stevens had his best shooting effort on a night in which he did not feel well.
Gregori-Modesto closed out the first half against host Manteca on an 11-2 run and then watched the Buffaloes blitz out of the locker room on a 21-4 run on the way to a 57-52 non-league boys basketball win at Winter Gymnasium.
Much has changed in the Southern League volleyball ranks, but one thing has remained the same: Ripon Christian still rules this court.
In a matchup of 6-foot-8 centers, it was 5-10 guard Daniel Wyatt who came through in a big way for Sierra in its McDonald's Classic opener Wednesday at Delta College.
Manteca High freshman Gino Campiotti has been given the rare opportunity to showcase his talents to college coaches on the other side of the country.
Angelo Baciocco sparked Ripon with an early win in the 152-pound bout, and the Indians benefitted from two forfeit victories to knock off visiting Waterford 45-33 in a nonleague dual Wednesday.
The Ripon Christian boys soccer team rolled to Southern League and Sac-Joaquin Section championships, chasing only history throughout its magical run.
Sierra came out of the halftime locker room on fire Tuesday night, using a 21-0 third-quarter run to stop Ripon Christian in its tracks, 55-34.

International models late 60's early 70's
I am in the market for a 50-99 hp tractor and I think I'm liking the International models like maybe the 666, 756, or an 806. I was wondering about some points I'm reading about in the adds like Torque Amplifiers, dual remotes, quick hitches, and the difference (advantages/disadvantages) of a hydrostatic tranny vs non hydrostatic. I'm an amateur for bigger units like these and it won't be used full time. Mainly hay making 3x year, manure spreading 2x month, and brush hogging are my aim.
Can any of you International fans tell me from this era and these type models what the ideal set up (I prefer gasoline engines) for the uses listed would be and if I should avoid certain things?

Buy-A-Book: Book Emergency Campaign
Queens Library
Innovation Leader:
Diana Chapin, Executive Director, Queens Library Foundation,
Problem Statement
Queens Library users depend their library for the most up-to-date collections of books, DVD's, CD's and other materials. But with ongoing deep budget cuts, funds to provide books are at the lowest level, ever. Our libraries no longer have the latest books and other materials to meet the needs of their patrons. Customers are experiencing longer waiting times to obtain popular selections, or find that books and materials aren't even available. As a result, Queens Library is facing a "Book Emergency" and must find new sources of funding to obtain current books and materials.
Queens Library Foundation's (QLF) Buy-A-Book (BAB) program has been successfully raising funds since 1992 to acquire new books for Queens Library. In that time, thousands of gifts totaling more then $4.6 million have been made. For each donation of $25, a commemorative bookplate is placed in a new book at the community library of the donor's choice. Gifts of $500 or more are also acknowledged with a plaque in the stacks. BAB donors make gifts to honor or memorialize family and friends, and commemorate special events such as anniversaries and birthdays. Beginning in December, 2010 QLF partnered for the first time with volunteer Friends of Queens Library groups on a "Book Emergency" Campaign. Friends groups in libraries throughout Queens took the message of need to local businesses, enlisting their involvement and support for the BAB program. Friends received: Introduction Letters; Queens Library "Book Emergency" Table Signs/Envelope Holders; Buy-A-Book donation envelopes; and "Supporter of Buy-A-Book" Decals. They asked local businesses to: contribute to BAB; place a table sign on the counter stocked with BAB envelopes; encourage customers to support Queens Library, and place a decal in their store window or door proclaiming their support for BAB. As further incentive, Friends groups received matching funds from QLF for the donations they obtained. Until the institution of this campaign, QLF and the Friends worked independently. This innovative effort is an example of tapping local talent and energy on the grassroots level, resulting in new degrees of cooperation. This campaign in partnership with existing Friends groups has inspired additional community libraries to start their own Friends groups.
To date, nearly 100 businesses throughout Queens display Queens Library "Book Emergency" table signs, Buy-A-Book envelopes and decals, resulting in donations of more than $31,000 for new library books and materials, The program has become so popular that QLF donors and library staff have initiated their own campaigns, the New York City Council has started its own "Friends" group, and New York State officials have pledged member items in support of the "Book Emergency".
