The Poll Attacks: Week 7Posted by Bryan Fischer
The latest college football polls are out and now it's time to rip them to shreds. Senior college basketball writer Gary Parrish has been calling out voters in the major hoops polls for thinking a little bit too far outside of the box when it comes to their AP ballots every week. With the football season starting, I thought I'd steal take the baton on the idea from my colleague and keep all of the writers across the country who vote honest. I've come to know a good number of these people through time and twitter but relationships do not matter, bad votes do. AP Poll Coaches Poll Harris Poll BCS (Details of AP ballots courtesy of PollSpeak.com) Poll reactions: ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC Rodney Dangerfield "No respect" team of the week: Michigan State Smash-mouth, hard-hitting defense and a solid (but certainly not spectacular) offense but Sparty just can't get much respect. They beat Michigan and held Denard Robinson and his explosive offense to just 250 total yards and 14 points. Edwin Baker, the touchdown maker, ran for 167 yards against an improved Wolverines defense too. We'll really see what they're made of this week but they should be higher than 15th in the AP and Harris Polls after their performance last week. They've proven more than Nebraska or South Carolina and probably should be in the 11-13 range. Overrated: South Carolina The Gamecocks are ranked 14th in the AP, 12th in the Coaches and 13th in the Harris Poll. First off, let's say that they lost their quarterback, top offensive player and running back Marcus Lattimore and struggled to beat Mississippi State 14-12. They really haven't beaten anybody convincingly outside of Kentucky before the injuries so it's safe to assume they're probably going to struggle in the near future. Is this a one-loss top 25 team? Sure. Top 15? Ehh... California Craziness A trio of voters from California (CSN Bay Area/CBSSports.com's Ray Ratto, San Jose Mercury News' Jon Wilner, LA Daily News' Scott Wolf) are an interesting voting block. Some would call them progressive, others would call them extreme and just about everybody else will call them crazy given their fluctuations in their ballots each week. All three are consistently in Pollspeak's group of "extreme voters" so we'll highlight the most baffling decision(s) out of each. Welcome back Jon, it's been a while since you found yourself in this space. We've got several issues with the ballot you turned in, starting with putting Clemson 3rd. In case you didn't watch (and you probably didn't), the Tigers needed a late 4th quarter rally from 18 down to beat Maryland. The Terps also rolled up 468 yards and 45 points on the defense, not exactly top three caliber. It's also concerning to see Stanford ranked behind Oregon and Arkansas at 10th, two spots ahead of a way to highly ranked Auburn team. Wilner doesn't respect Kansas State much either, putting them 20th behind 11 teams with at least one loss. Oh yeah, Texas is still ranked too, as is USC. What were you thinking? Craig James Is there a more maligned broadcaster than James? Judging by Twitter, I'd say no. Either way, he's also an AP voter despite the issue of having an active lawsuit against him by a former coach. Perhaps that was what was weighing on his mind when he turned in his AP ballot this week. It's not terrible but there are a few interesting choices. Of course he has SMU ranked 25th but that looks good considering he put Wake Forest 23rd overall. Yes, the Demon Deacons have had a nice season but they lost to Virginia Tech 38-17 this weekend and their other loss is to Syracuse. Not a top 25 resume at all. James also has Oregon 7th, higher than anybody and higher than undefeated Wisconsin.

Big Ten poll reactions, Week 7Posted by Adam Jacobi This week's polls have been released. Here's how the Big Ten fared, from the top of the polls to the bottom, and what it means. (AP/Coaches) 4/4. Wisconsin Once again, Wisconsin is ranked fourth in the nation, and I'm not entirely sure the Badgers are ever going to move higher. The winner of Oklahoma-Oklahoma State will likely deserve a spot in the Top 3, and really, there's no stone-cold guarantee that the loser of LSU-Alabama will drop to 4th or lower if the game is close. Fortunately, Wisconsin's resume will get a much-needed boost in the coming weeks as the Big Ten slate kicks into high gear. 13/11. Nebraska I continue to believe that Nebraska is playing with house money at this point, and Jared Crick's season-ending injury will probably hasten the Huskers' impending fall down the polls. At the same time, though, if they keep up this first-half pace and go 10-2 on the season, sure, this would be a fine ranking -- maybe even too low. Alas, however, there are no more Wyomings, Fresnos State or Chattanoogae on the schedule, only Big Ten opponents. So it'll be fun to see how Nebraska adapts to the grind of the conference slog. 15/13. Michigan State Michigan State shouldn't get too comfortable here, because a home date with Wisconsin looms this Saturday, and there's probably going to be substantial movement one way or another afterward. At any rate, though, I think the Spartans proved that they belonged somewhere around here on Saturday with that convincing victory over the Wolverines. Also, it'll be nice to see the Badgers provided with an opponent who can keep the game within 31 points. MSU will stay within 31 of Wisconsin, right? Right??? 18/17. Michigan I've been trying to tell you guys all year long that the second half of the season portended doom for Michigan. Heed my words! This is a good ranking for the Wolverines, though, and they'll have opportunities to earn their way higher in the polls (where basically everybody after No. 10 is eminently beatable). I'm at least going to back off on my fears that Michigan will go 1-5 down the stretch, MSU loss be damned; the Wolverines are good enough to beat Iowa at Kinnick, and I can't imagine that both Nebraska and Ohio State will be able to come to Ann Arbor and leave victors. Still, though, if anyone was curious how to beat Michigan this year, MSU just put together a fantastic blueprint on how, and there'll be a lot of defensive coordinators watching that tape for the rest of the year. 23/21. Illinois No getting around it: that was a brutal loss for Illinois to take on Saturday. Everything that people hate about Ron Zook-coached teams came out, from the silly play-calling to the back-breaking errors to the fact that OSU literally ran over 90% of the time and Zook still wasn't putting 10 people in the box on every snap. 23rd best team? Sounds about right. NR/22. Penn State Okay, fine. Penn State is 6-1, so we should acknowledge that fact right alongside the eye-gouging badness of Matt McGloin and Rob Bolden. That defense is legit, and Silas Redd is starting to come into his own after a slow start to the year. The schedule from here on out is brutal, though, with Saturday's night date at Northwestern being the easiest of the bunch. So here's the lousy part for PSU: being that the Nittany Lions are currently 26th or 22nd (I choose 26th because to hell with the coaches poll), if they go 2-3 from here on out, they're not going to be anywhere near the Top 25. And yet, they'll have finally earned it. That's win-go-up, lose-go-down polling for you, State fans! Enjoy! Also receiving votes: Penn State (130 AP votes), Everybody Else In The Conference (not one single vote, not even from the blasted coaches poll, and that is okay with me)

Bielema to students: No more potty-mouth, pleasePosted by Jerry Hinnen
No one any younger than Joe Paterno (and not even JoePa himself) will be surprised to learn that the student sections at major college football stadiums are not the place to be if one wants to hear clean, polite, sportsmanlike King's English. But the language at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium has now become so foul that no less an authority than Badger head coach Bret Bielema himself has stepped in to try and clean it up. Bielema and Badger athletic director Barry Alvarez co-signed a letter sent to student ticket holders Thursday "asking you to end the vulgar chants at our home football games." While praising the students for helping create the loud, intimidating atmosphere that contributed to the Badgers' 48-17 throttling of Nebraska, the letter -- available in its entirety here -- also shares a number of written complaints (from both Badger and Husker fans) sent to the Wisconsin athletics office: "During the course of the game, the student body was led in a very obscene cheer consisting of echoing 'Eat [bleep]' and '[bleep] you'. I was pretty appalled considering that not all the spectators were 18 years or older. It was not the sort of thing children should be hearing."Bielema discussed the problems further at his Thursday meeting with reporters, saying that visiting recruits and their families have been moved away from the student section in order to distance them from the stream of profanities. "If you come into the stadium for the first time and you've never heard it, it's kind of shocking," Bielema said, adding that "the ones that get me are when it's a parent who has a small child that now has to explain what's being said or try not to explain what's being said." Nebraska legend (and athletic director) Tom Osborne also weighed in on the Wisconsin students on his radio call-in show this week, saying they fell short of being "decent." And by way of explanation, Osborne sent a not-so-subtle shot across the bow at the Badgers' historical fortunes vis a vis his Huskers' (emphasis added): But of course, those Wisconsin students aren't going to give the first [bleep] what Osborne thinks. Could it be different with Bielema? Will hearing directly from the man who -- after a Rose Bowl season and dominating 5-0 start -- is likely now more hero than coach in that Camp Randall student section actually bring about change? Knowing these are 18-22 year-old college students we're talking about here: [bleep] no.

The Saturday Meal Plan: Week 7Posted by Tom Fornelli
The Saturday Meal Plan is a helpful guide put together for you to maximize the results of your college football diet. Just enough to leave you feeling full, but not so much you spend your entire Sunday in the bathroom. This week we're offering a menu that is a bit low on carbs. It's not that we don't have plenty of interesting choices to offer you this weekend, but there isn't exactly a must-have on the list. Which I suppose is a good thing considering all the big meals we've all been ingesting the last few weeks and the pounds they've packed on, we could all afford to eat a bit more salad this weekend. BREAKFAST #23 Michigan State vs. #11 Michigan - ESPN 12pm ET This game has it all: rivalry, firepower, and consequence. Michigan State is looking to continue its reign in this series, having won the last 3 in the series. Michigan will need to get Heisman candidate Denard Robinson rolling and light up the scoreboard; that hasn't been much of a problem for UM this year. At stake is probably the best shot at challenging Nebraska for the Legends Division crown; the loser, meanwhile, will need a lot of help in the race. - Adam Jacobi #21 Texas A&M vs. #20 Baylor - FX 12pm ET Robert Griffin is appointment television no matter who Baylor is playing, but considering that Texas A&M is statistically the worst passing defense in the country, this one could be really fun. Of course, Texas A&M isn't exactly a slouch either, as Ryan Tannehill, Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael have done a good job of covering up that secondary's mistakes on offense. This one could be a pretty nice shootout to start your day with. - Tom Fornelli Mississippi State vs. #15 South Carolina - SEC Network 12:21pm ET Is Connor Shaw for real or not? The Gamecocks' now-unquestioned starting quarterback looked the part against Kentucky, but a veteran Bulldog secondary playing at home in Starkville is a much tougher test. And if Tyler Russell's breakout second half against UAB was more than illusion, State could have put some of their offensive woes behind them as well. Whichever quarterback proves last week's performance wasn't a fluke should come away with the victory. - Jerry Hinnen LUNCH Tennessee vs. #1 LSU - CBS 3:30pm ET For the second week in a row, the Tiger defense gets to face a backup quarterback making his first start of the season. The Vols' Matt Simms has a lot of advantages Florida's Jacoby Brissett didn't, though: he'll be at home; he's a senior who started eight games for Tennessee in 2010; and he saw the LSU defense up close and personal playing against them last year. Too bad the Vols don't have the running game to keep the Tigers from teeing off on Simms all the same. - JH #22 Texas vs. #6 Oklahoma State - ABC/ESPN 3:30pm ET Did you know that Mack Brown's Texas teams have never lost a game following the Red River Shootout? That record is likely going to be in serious jeopardy with the Oklahoma State offense coming to town, but if the Longhorns can manage to keep Brandon Weeden in check and pull off a win, it'd be a very large step in returning the program to where it once stood. Or you should watch just to see if Oklahoma State can finally hit the century mark. - TF Virginia vs. #12 Georgia Tech - ESPNU 3:30pm ET The last time Virginia took the field, they needed overtime to steal a 21-20 victory over Idaho. With an off week to get healthy and prepare for the Yellow Jackets' option attack, the Cavs defense will try to live up to their 311.8 yards allowed per game (ranked third in the ACC). Tech coach Paul Johnson criticized the decision making of quarterback Tevin Washington in last week's 21-16 win over Maryland, and cited a lack of "continuity" as a reason for their uncharacteristically low score. Look for Georgia Tech to try and use this game to get their methodical attack back on track. It might be more than a young Virginia defense can handle, even with a week to prepare. - Chip Patterson #16 Illinois vs. Ohio State - ABC/ESPN 3:30pm ET The Illini look to continue their tear through a stunned and unsuspecting slate of opponents and run their record to 7-0. In Illinois' way is mighty Ohio State, who's got the talent to win the battle up front on both sides of the ball. If OSU doesn't have Braxton Miller at 100% after last week's ankle injury, though, can the vaunted Buckeye rushing attack pick up the slack and turn drives into touchdowns? - AJ DINNER Maryland vs. #8 Clemson - ESPNU 6:30pm ET Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd wasn't wearing hip pads for "swag reasons." Now he has to shed his hip fashion style in order to protect his strained hip against Maryland. Boyd may have been carted off the field last week against Boston College, but he'll be lining up under center on Saturday night in Byrd Stadium. Maryland, on the other hand, won't make a decision regarding their starting quarterback until game time. Starter Danny O'Brien was benched in the 21-16 loss to Georgia Tech in favor of freshman C.J. Brown, who ran for 124 yards in just one half of action against the Yellow Jackets. But Brown struggled throwing the ball, so it will be interesting to see what head coach Randy Edsall decides to do. The last time Maryland played a primetime game at home, they wrapped themselves in the state flag and pulled out a victory. Tune in to see what fashion statement they make this week. - CP #24 Auburn vs. Florida - ESPN 7pm ET In a matchup of teams with passing games that will be lucky to reach "mediocre" -- the Gators thanks to John Brantley's injury, the Tigers due to Barrett Trotter's ongoing struggles -- the winner should prove to be whichever team can get their pair of star tailbacks on track. With Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey on one side and Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb on the other, backfield head-to-heads don't get a whole lot better than this. - JH Washington State vs. #7 Stanford - FX 7:30pm ET The Cardinal have the country's best quarterback in Andrew Luck and the conference's toughest defense (just 10.6 points per game allowed) so this should be a relatively easy road trip for the Cardinal. Head coach David Shaw will likely want to establish the running game this week after tilting heavily in favor of the pass last week against Colorado. The question probably isn't if Stanford will win, but by how much. Washington State showed they've got some fight in them last week before coming up short against UCLA. - Bryan Fischer Kansas vs. #3 Oklahoma - ESPN 2 9:15pm ET This is a pretty late start for a game that's being played in Kansas, but I have to believe it's some kind of strategy. Maybe the Jayhawks are hoping that by starting the game later, nobody will be watching the Sooners offense destroy a Kansas defense that has been shredded by everybody it's faced this season. This one likely won't be competitive for very long, but who knows? - TF LATE NIGHT SNACK #9 Oregon vs. #18 Arizona State - ESPN 10:15pm ET They're still the conference king until knocked off their perch but Arizona State will present a stiff test for Oregon this weekend. The Ducks are not as good as they were last year on defense and will be missing star running back LaMichael James but Kenjon Barner and freshman DeAnthony Thomas are able replacements for him on offense. The atmosphere at Autzen at night should be a big advantage but expect a tough Sun Devils defense to force a few turnovers and make things interesting. - BF

Keys to the Game: Ohio State at IllinoisPosted by Adam Jacobi
OHIO STATE WILL WIN IF: It wins the battle of the trenches. Illinois can move the ball pretty well, and its defensive front seven pretty much ripped Brock Osweiler to shreds when Arizona State came to Champaign in September. That said, Ohio State is supposed to be able to win these types of battles, especially with all-conference linemen like Mike Brewster and Mike Adams up front on offense. So if the OSU rushing attack can push the point of attack 1-2 yards forward on a consistent basis, the stable of Buckeye tailbacks should be able to generate yardage, drives, and points. ILLINOIS WILL WIN IF: The offense can get A.J. Jenkins free early and often. Ohio State is going to present the toughest challenge the Illinois offense has faced to date, and the running lanes the Illini have gotten thus far in the year won't be quite as wide open on Saturday. Thus, it's going to be imperative that the Illinois downfield passing game gets going, and in case you hadn't noticed, A.J. Jenkins is basically Illinois' entire downfield passing game. That singularity of talent has hardly been a detriment thus far, as Jenkins has an obscene 450 yards receiving in his two Big Ten games this year, but if he gets bottled up Illinois is probably in for a long afternoon. X-FACTOR: This is more like the Brax-Factor (actually, let's not call him that ever), as Braxton Miller's ankle is undoubtedly still sore from the injury that took him out of last week's loss at Nebraska. Miller's primary strength is his ability to run the ball, both on designed runs and on scrambles, so if his mobility is limited and he's primarily a pocket passer, that bodes extremely well for the Illini. Miller's young enough that his read progression is basically Primary Receiver, then Scramble, and maybe a Secondary Receiver between the two if Bo Pelini's feeling optimistic. That's usually not a bad thing, because Miller on the move is generally a net positive for the Buckeye offense, but if he can't get moving as easily, then we're looking at a situation not unlike Nebraska's struggles in 2010 when Taylor Martinez was hampered by lingering ankle problems and was forced to rely on his arm more often. There lay pain for the Huskers, and if Miller's hobbled, there lies trouble for OSU on Sunday.

Jared Crick out for season with torn pectoralPosted by Adam Jacobi
The Nebraska defense took a major hit on Wednesday, as senior defensive tackle and All-American candidate Jared Crick was ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Crick had been All-Big 12 over the last two seasons, and was named the Big Ten preseason defensive player of the year by league media. The unfortunate announcement was made by coach Bo Pelini in a statement Wednesday afternoon. "I feel extremely bad for Jared," Pelini said. "He is a young man who has represented this program in a first-class manner throughout his career." The loss hits Nebraska especially hard, as Crick had been a bright spot on an otherwise underachieving defensive line. As a whole, the Nebraska defensive line had registered just 7.5 tackles for loss on the entire year, with Crick contributing 2.5 of TFLs. As a whole, the Nebraska defense is currently ranked 80th nationwide in rushing defense, an effort that begins with the line. Without Crick, those numbers could continue to suffer. What's especially shocking is that Nebraska wasn't just supposed to have a good defense this year, it was supposed to have the best defense in the Big Ten. That hasn't been the case by any stretch even with a completely healthy front four, so unless Crick's injury forces the rest of the defense to elevate its collective game in response (a plea that DC Carl Pelini has undoubtedly already made to his players), the Husker defense looks extremely vulnerable for the rest of the season. Crick is likely to be replaced in the starting lineup by senior Terrence Moore, though sophomore Thaddeus Randle and freshman Chase Rome are also now in line to see increased snaps.

The Poll Attacks: Week 6Posted by Bryan Fischer
The latest college football polls are out and now it's time to rip them to shreds. Senior college basketball writer Gary Parrish has been calling out voters in the major hoops polls for thinking a little bit too far outside of the box when it comes to their AP ballots every week. With the football season starting, I thought I'd steal take the baton on the idea from my colleague and keep all of the writers across the country who vote honest. I've come to know a good number of these people through time and twitter but relationships do not matter, bad votes do. AP Poll Coaches Poll Harris Poll (Details of AP ballots courtesy of PollSpeak.com) Poll reactions: ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC Rodney Dangerfield "No respect" team of the week: Kansas State You would think that the coaches (or sports information directors) that vote in the Coaches Poll would appreciate what Bill Snyder has done at Kansas State this year. The Wildcats are undefeated so far this season with wins at Miami and against Baylor and Missouri. They don't have much of a passing game (115th in the country) but do have a good ground game, even without the services of former former five-star running back Bryce Brown. Not sure then why the coaches have Kansas State 18th then, one spot below where they are underrated in the AP Poll. They're below South Carolina and Nebraska, both of whom are one-loss teams that have more issues. This is the ultimate "don't get no respect" program but Snyder has them playing hard and playing tough this season. Overrated: Auburn First of all, no one expected Auburn to be sitting 3rd in the SEC West with only two total loses approaching the halfway mark in the season. They're one of only two teams to play three teams that are currently ranked in the top 25. They are, however, not supposed to be one of them. The Tigers are just barely in the top 25, ranked 24th in the AP Poll and unranked in the Coaches. Once again, some kudos for the latter for keeping them out. Gene Chizik's group has gotten lucky in most of their wins - they're 80th in total offense and 105th in total defense - and really only the South Carolina one is notable. That's why it's funny to see Jon Wilner put them 12th and Andy Staples to rank them 17th. Too high gentlemen, act more like Brett McMurphy who has Auburn unranked. California Craziness A trio of voters from California (CSN Bay Area/CBSSports.com's Ray Ratto, San Jose Mercury News' Jon Wilner, LA Daily News' Scott Wolf) are an interesting voting block. Some would call them progressive, others would call them extreme and just about everybody else will call them crazy given their fluctuations in their ballots each week. All three are consistently in Pollspeak's group of "extreme voters" so we'll highlight the most baffling decision(s) out of each. Three in a row for Wolf! He pulls into the lead in the race to the top/bottom of the California Craziness derby. Wisconsin is 8th, lowest on any ballot in the country, while West Virginia is right behind them ranked 9th, highest on any ballot. Florida is still a top 15 team according to Wolf, despite quarterbacks that were born in the 1990's who have barely taken any snaps. Undefeated Illinois is 22nd, behind two-loss Notre Dame, while Auburn is 17th. Undefeated Kansas State is 24th (see above) and SMU is on the ballot at 25th. Yeah... What were you thinking? Ron Higgins, Memphis Commercial Appeal Ron, I feel for you. You probably have to watch Memphis Tigers football closely and have to do so more often than anyone. That's rough but you still have to vote in the AP Poll. You didn't turn in a ballot this week, causing some angst back in the office for those that coordinate and release the thing we have to rip to shreds every Monday on CBSSports.com. Remember, every vote counts and, unlike the state of Florida, we know how to count them. Thanks! (P.S. if you want me to email a reminder, I'll do so!) Team bias Our tech team at CBSSports.com is pretty awesome and came up with this neat tool to take a look at team and region bias in the AP Poll. Check it out below, it's a fun thing to play around with.

This amp does nothing for my Dual 4 ohm Fosgate P3s. It's supposed to supply 1K Watts @ 1 ohm which paired up with two dual 4 ohm 12's should be perfect but it does nothing for it. I swear my Fosgate R-500 amp hit harder. Do yourself a favor and save up for a better amp. Cosmetically, yeah the emblem lights up but I don't care how it looks I need power. What a waste..I thought hifonics were supposed to be pretty good..

Thames flotilla for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Sixty years ago it was relatively simple...
BBC television had no competition (ITV would not start until 1955, BBC2 began in 1964 Channel 4 not until 1982, Sky in 1990 and Channel 5 in 1997)). Once the permission of the Abbey was obtained and Richard Dimbleby, the "Gold Microphone in Waiting", safely booked, the Coronation coverage was relatively plain sailing.
The BBC was the "voice of the nation" and on Royal occasions unquestionably Royalist. (It was the first television event I watched, indeed the reason my father bought the black and white 12 inch set before which we crouched in awed attention. In front of it was a large magnifying glass, to enlarge the picture, but which also enlarged the noses of the Royal family.
All the relatives crowded in to our front room, which otherwise was only used for visits by the Vicar, and was kept spotless. The day ended, as I remember, with the lighting of beacons, which we, in Carlisle, could not see because of the rain and wind. The weather hasn't changed that much evidently.
The coverage of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations presented rather more complex problems. For a start, the question of whether and how to reflect the views of the 13per cent or so who say they are republicans. Then what should be the tone of the coverage? The Corporation decided that a different one was required for the River Pageant than for the other events, and has received some pretty stinging criticism for not just the tone, but also for the quality and accuracy of the coverage.
There was also criticism of the lack of coverage of the Pageant on Radio 4.
Overall the BBC's coverage seems to have been regarded as a triumph, with massive audiences, great audience appreciation and slick, seamless production, but something seems to have gone wrong when it came to that Pageant.
This is how we dealt with the concerns on Feedback

at the end of the day the beeb kept a lot of the people happy a lot of the time. Unusual for me to compliment the bbc !
Jubilee coverage.
Congratulations to the BBC for covering such large events under often very challenging conditions. However, I regret to say that most of the commentators and interviewers for the Thames Pageant sadly let the side down badly. Their fund of knowledge and ability to present such an event and in such circumstances was notable by its absence. Indeed, at times they seemed uncomfortable with their own inabilities. Perhaps they do well on their usual programmes, but these presenters need help in gathering and using information and presenting it in a fashion appropriate to the occasion. I know there was a lot of interest in the event from overseas and assume those viewers may have seen and heard the same presenters. Very embarrassing! Let's hope the BBC returns to its usual high standard for future events.
All dem boats in the water under their own gayous steam, who wanna advertise dat.
There was an awful lot of trails on Radio 4 by someone called Hugh for a television programme. They were very irritating. The BBC should be doing much more to ensure that republican voices are heard. On Fearne Cotton discussing a royal sick bag - seems appropriate!
What a row-tilla, I don't think I've ever seen that many canones in one place in my whole life. That was one day nobody could say the English didn't have all their oars in the water!

I hope that you have not encountered the devious CryptoLocker malware, but sadly, I know as a fact that many of you have been victimized by it. For those of you who are not familiar with CryptoLocker, it is a vile form of sophisticated malware, "ransom ware," where the malware encrypts data on the hard drive (and possibly USB drives and other external media), and then charges the user a sizeable fee to get the decryption key.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

i made new borde for A4 sheet and now when i am shifting to A3 Or A1, border remains same as A4 sheet size only changing.kindly reffer the image attached.Kindly solve
You would have to make a border for each size. Then if you want them to change automaticaly you will have to write some ilogic code to do this.
If you don't need for it to be fully automatic - the solution could be as simple as double clicking on the correct boarder in the Drawing Resources>Borders to change after-the-fact of creating or editing the sheet.
In your border definition, you can dimension the border from the sheet corners. This will allow it to stretch with the sheet size, as long as you don't mind
Since we stick pretty close to the ASME standards, though, which have differing border widths for different sheet sizes, we are not able to take advantage of this. We have five different border definitions.

Doctor Who Dalek Nail Art: Davros Nailed It
This 3D Doctor Who nail art is probably how a human/Dalek hybrid would give itself away to the Doctor, as it's Dalek half began to take over. That would be a cool episode. Also, if we ever get a female Doctor, this might be her manicure of choice.
They look especially menacing on those plastic finger display models. It's as if the Autons and Daleks have teamed up. Etsy seller GingerdeadHouse sells these Dalek digit designs for $20(USD) for a full set. They are for the discriminating female Whovian who wants very badly to be a Dalek.
As if women's nails weren't dangerous enough. Now they can slash and exterminate.

He folks. I new to using the view frame groups we do allot of double plan view 11x17 sheets using an alignment on top of MrSid aerial drawings. It is very time consuming to setup the viewports along the alignment doing the old fashion method of copying the page setup and sliding the model space along the alignment for the next sheet. I understand the plan profile and cross section methods of creating multiple sheets and how the viewframe group works for those type of sheets. I'm just not sure how to create a dwt template for one plan view on top of another plan on the same sheet with to viewports. I know I'm not the only person that creates road cl double planviews when your not concerned about a profile. I hope my question isn't too confusing.
A workaround solution I have used for this is to let the software generate just one plan view per sheet which is for instance the top half of the sheets you would like to create. We also use the one layout per drawing format.
rename the drawings created from drawings 1 and 2 to 1 and 1a. 3 and 4 to 2 and 2a etc....
then xref 1a into 1 and put 1a in the bottom viewport of drawing 1.
by doing things this way each drawing can be opened and remain at the original coordinates, and every other sheet contains all the info necessary for the sheets you want to create. Depending on how many sheets you will end up with this process can be very time efficient compare to doing this without the plan production tools.
Are you using Sheet Set Manager?
If so, create a polyline that represents your viewport size in inches times drawing scale. Copy and rotate the polyline to represent all the views you need along your alignment/SID image.
Use the attached Lisp routine to create model views. It allows you to assign a view name prefix and starting number, then go along to each polyline, select lower left, lower right, upper left. The routine then creates a model view using those clipping limits.
After all that, you can just drag-n-drop the model views onto your sheets using Sheet Set Manager.
Thanks for all of your posts. I will have to try your suggestions and lisp routines.

The piece on the front page of Wednesday's Times struck me as so unbalanced, I sent this e-mail to four top editors there: "This morning's torture story on the front page is 1174 words long, of which 147 words are devoted to the anti-torture position, which the reporters writing the story obviously disagree with. I would like to know on what basis you believe this equation meets traditional New York Times standards for fairness and balance."
Executive editor Bill Keller replied:
Your e-mail is 67 words long, of which zero are devoted to the substance of the story. The story is not a roundup of the debate over the use of torture. It is about the dilemma facing the Obama administration as it seeks a new head of the C.I.A. and tries to decide what level of association with the recent past might disqualify a candidate. One potential choice to head the agency has already withdrawn his name after coming under attack. Now, the piece reports, "Mr. Obama's search for someone else and his future relationship with the agency are complicated by the tension between his apparent desire to make a clean break with Bush aministration policies he has condemned and concern about alienating an agency with a central role in the campaign against Al Qaeda." This is a balancing act Obama has not yet resolved, and the article in no way rescribes how he should resolve it…It's a little unfair to criticize an article for not being some altogether different article you might have written.
Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet told me, "Your take is sort of ridiculous. Your're reading a point of view on the part of the reporters that is not there. You should read their past stories before jumping to conclusions."
Since torture is the subject that I have written about more frequently than anything else since I started this blog one year ago, I have indeed read previous stories in the Times about torture, including a particularly egregious one last spring by Scott Shane, which suggested a kind of moral equivalency between opponents and proponents of torture: "Certainly the debate is rich in emotion, with each side claiming the moral heights: You approve torture! You're coddling terrorists! But the arguments have been scant on science to back them up."
Then Shane revealed the crucial science which had been ignored in the debate: "…[T]he [Army Field] manual's inherited wisdom has not been updated to reflect decades of corporate analysis of how to influence consumers. Behavioral economists have dissected decision-making, and academic psychologists have studied political persuasion, but their lessons have not informed the interrogator's art either." (I told Baquet that this was one of the oddest observations I had ever read in a newspaper.)
In that same piece, Shane also quoted Benjamin Wittes, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a longtime defender of the Bush Administration: "We don't have any idea — other than anecdote or moral philosophy — what really works."
That is flatly false.
The one story on this subject that should be required reading for everyone is the piece by a former senior interrogator in Iraq in last Sunday's Outlook section of The Washington Post, entitled "I'm Still Tortured by What I Saw in Iraq."

Success! My previous post outlined an epic fail between a WE30EURS/ThermalTake BlacX Dock and my HR44-700. I returned them and this is what worked:
The following worked perfectly, first try, no special treatment, just quickly assemble the enclosure, drop the drive in, push forward to mate with connectors, flip holding clip. Ready to go.
Western Digital WD20EURX (2 TB SATA III, Amazon)
ThermalTake Max 5 Active Cooking Enclosure (Amazon: double quiet fans, lighted if desired)
Standard connection/startup procedure:
1. Shut down HR44-700 (I used Menu Restart)
2. When front panel lights go out, pull power plug on HR44
3. Connect eSATA cable between HR44 and the Enclosure
4. Power Up Enclosure and wait 1 minute.
5. Put HR44 Power Plug back in (it will auto power up)
Watch drive light on the enclosure, it will flash intermittently and continue to do so. As the HR44 comes alive, the screen will tell you it is formatting the external drive.
I have no idea why the other setup would not work out of the box on the HR44. I dropped down from 3 TB to 2 TB when I ordered this newt setup, only because I thought 3 was too big to have so much stuff on when it failed (and it will, eventually). I am using a BlacX Dock on my HR24-200 with a 2 TB drive successfully.
Since I changed type of interface (Dock > Full Enclosure), and Size (3 TB > 2 TB), and of course it was physically a different drive, I can't tell anyone why the first setup would not work. It could have been a bad dock, a bad drive, requirement that the drive be initialized (per P. Smith), etc.
Of course, I have to input all my series links and I lost the Sports Search (which should return in a few days), and have to wait a few days for the series links to populate, but at least now I have enough space to due the 5 tuners in the HR44 some justice.
Those EURS drives have been mildly problematic for some time. The initial setup you had should have worked. I dunno for sure why it didn't work. I'm down to one 24-100 with an external drive and when something happens to that setup, I'll be done with externals. Well, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to say that. I do have one 24-200 that I've never tried to put a bigger internal drive in because of the size of the HDD sled. If I get the urge, I'm gonna try the wire tie thing with that one and see how it works. Might have to put an external on that one. But that's a special case.
Put bluntly, I'm sick of external drives. I own ten HRs and that's two more than I really need. I know this: The HRs run better with the large HDD installed internally. I have had zero problems with my internal 2TB drives in the last two years. During that time, I've had many problems with the externals. Ranging from HDDs failing to housekeepers disconnecting them or knocking them over. Things like that. Nothing thunderously catastrophic, just an ongoing PITA.
I realize that people with Genies have little chance of owning one without paying too much, so they must resort to the externals, but I still see no need, personally, for one and, unless something drastic happens, I won't be getting one. Because of the hassles of an external and the lack of support for our wishes about allowing us to swap HDDs between HRs within an account, I'm don't see myself getting a Genie.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by dehav1 Another amazing stay
Just returned from my 3rd stay at the Fiji Intercontinental, and it was just as amazing as my first time. Love everything about this place.
The rooms are so spacious and comfortable, and I spent hours on my huge balcony just reading and taking in the views. I loved my food experiences, looked forward to breakfast every morning and also dinner each night at either Toba or Sanasana. There is so much to do if you wish, my fave is visiting the local village Sanasana, I've done that 3 times now. And also so many ways to do nothing, relax by the beautiful infinity pool, rest in a cabana on the beachfront, chill out in Karma lounge, or just walk around the stunning resort.
The Spa is fantastic, luxurious and well worth it.
Staff are wonderful, I recieved many welcome back hugs.
I'll be back before too long, it's my Happy Place :)

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by llobo 1 BR Plunge Pool Club Suite
Stayed in a 1 BR Plunge pool club suite. Room was on a hill overlooking the ocean and property. Suite has an outdoor bath and small pool whilst a generous interior living and bedroom. Housekeeping did a relatively ok job of cleaning the rooms, but always fail to replenish the towels for the outside bath.
Took part in plenty of activities resort offered through its concierge. Bitterly disappointed with water safari as boat we chartered for fishing broke down and no refund or compensation was offered, also no fish caught. Corals in the resort is quite bleached, a big disappointment for the snorkeling.
Property restaurants are abundant for variety. Nova was a the fine dining but portions was very small. I had to order 2 of the same lobster main on top of entrée to be full.
Buggy service is frequent but difficult to call as no hand phone provided to club guest to have a direct line to clubhouse to call for buggy or concierge.
Resort has its own beach, but becareful of locals walking up trying to make a quick buck. I would recommend not to stay in the beachfront houses due to this reason.
Overall experience was alright, but lots of improvement can still be done.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by KP1977 Very disappointing experience.
I must say that my experience at this resort with my family was one which was forgettable. Unfriendly staff is an understatement. I have travelled the world with my Family and Business and have stayed at 5 to 7 star hotels, but the stay at Intercontinental was one which I would like to forget very quickly. I believe that the staff here give a level of service on the way someone looks and does not give the same service to all who stay at this resort. I was disgusted that on arrival we were not given welcome drinks,like what is given to other guest, we had to take our bags out of our vehicle ourselves not like other guests. I was travelling with my wife and 3 young children and a little bit of assistance would have gone a long way. For what this resort markets itself like it falls way behind what it promises to deliver. We had 2 rooms and on arrival was advised that only one room was available at the time of Check in which we arrived 1 hour after the normal check in time.
The Staff here assumed that I might have been a local and therefore the level of service dropped considerably to other Australian Guest. Luckily my wife is a Caucasian lady otherwise I would have had no chance of getting any service at all. The Resort has a lot to answer for.
On checkout there was 3 concierge staff that watched me load my luggage into our hire vehicle myself. I approached these staff and there comments were that they were busy, but as another guests vehicle arrived they were quick to service them. I took this up with these staff and I was very upset and all they could say was to back chat me by saying " calm down and dont talk to us" These staff should be sacked. It is a disgrace and my family and I will never return to this resort again.
For a so called 5 star Resort the Intercontinental Fiji falls way behind in service compared to other 5 start Resorts around the globe and in Fiji.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Godo11 Comfortable Stay
Rooms are well appointed, fairly clean, beds and pillows are comfortable but most importantly you can get a good nights sleep as it is well insulated and quite. The beach is clean, the water clear allowing kids to safely play in the water. Fine dining restaurant Navo does not live up to expectations, the front office managers are great and extremely accommodating and helpful. We will return very soon.

Family happy to be alive after truck crashes through their home
By: Kerri Corrado
BERLIN, Pa.--
A home on Huckleberry Highway in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, was badly damaged when a truck slammed into it Friday afternoon.
The truck driver and family living inside were not hurt, but investigators say the driver failed to negotiate the curve.
Josh Wible was taking a break from yard work until a truck came crashing through the living room where he was sitting. It just missed him.
"While I was up there, I heard a noise and I knew something was happening," Barbara Ray said.
Ray was at her desk when she said she jumped up and ran to her window, seeing the truck through her house.
"Immediately I was screaming for my son because I didn't know if he was OK," Ray said.
The living room was badly damaged, but Ray said she is relieved her family is safe.
"Every time I walk back into the room, I couldn't believe I was alive," Wible said.
"We don't even feel safe in our own house anymore. We don't think we can live here anymore," Ray said.
The family urges everyone to slow down and follow the speed limit.

Negotiating past, present in Eastern Europe
by Wes Kovarik
Wes Kovarik received a summer Foreign Language and Area Studies award for the study of Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian in 2012. This award allowed him to build on two years of prior language instruction in a 7-week course of intensive language instruction at Azbukum Centre for Serbian Language and Culture in Novi Sad, Serbia. While the language instruction and his daily life in Serbia is an experience he will never forget, the journey to get there made it all the more enriching.
Observer: A dog in Sarajevo watches passersby on their way to the Yellow Fortress .
I started my summer adventure in the Baltics; my winding trek to Serbia allowed me to explore the capitals of Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Bosnia & Herzegovina on the way. Though I had previously travelled in West Africa and Australia, never before had I simply set off on my own with only my backpack and wits to guide me. The cities I explored showcased complicated histories that often included invasion, occupation, oppression and long-sought independence. From my experience it seemed each city was negotiating its modern identity, balancing a common tension between reconciliation with events of the past and disagreement of how to continue in the future. These tensions were most prominent in the many museums I visited along my trip. These institutions both highlight the rich traditions of each centuries-old culture, as well as help to form current perspectives on a history under socialism.
Reflections: The sun sets over the Vanšu Brigde spanning the Daugava River in Riga, Latvia.
In Riga, Latvia, stand the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, and the Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum. Each museum provides visitors with a unique opportunity to learn how Latvian society views what has been a painful past. The Museum of the Occupation of Latvia encapsulates life under both Nazi and Soviet occupation. It embodies a larger struggle to understand the complicated history of 20th century Eastern Europe with attempts to navigate between highlighting acts of resistance and acts of complicity under the authoritarian regimes of Hitler and Stalin, while also documenting the oppression of the Latvian population. My interests were further piqued by a visit to an institution supported by the small Latvian Jewish community, the Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum. I arrived at the outdoor museum in the midst of a rainstorm and was greeted by a very eager and informative docent who personally led me through the exhibits that showed life in the Riga Ghetto, as well as explained the rich history of Latvian Jews until their near-extermination during the Holocaust.
Bridging the gap: A man jumps from the Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina.
From the Baltics I ventured south. In perhaps no other area was the tension between recent history and self-identity on display than in Sarajevo and Mostar, in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The architecture of Sarajevo reveals its history as a crossroads between Islam, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Judaism. The city appears as a gem within the valleys of Bosnia, studded with countless minarets. While many new shopping malls, apartment buildings, and offices are currently under construction, one cannot help but notice both bullet holes and political divisions. The city itself is divided between Sarajevo (or Federal Sarajevo) under the administration of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and East Sarajevo, which is under the administration of the Republika Srpska. Though simply crossing a road crosses the border between the two entities, there are still palpable divisions. The Museum of Sarajevo and Bosnian Historical Museum both present views of Bosnian history in the 20th century. While the Museum of Sarajevo focuses primarily on the role of Sarajevo in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the events that triggered World War I, the Bosnian Historical Museum devotes a large portion of its exhibition space to the longest military siege in modern history, the Siege of Sarajevo. The artifacts from the siege display both the hopelessness of the situation and the resilience of the people of Sarajevo. While Mostar is known most for its stunning bridge spanning the two sides of the city, the divisions of the city reveal a majority Croat population on one side, and majority Muslim population on the other.
Wartime Scars: Remnants of NATO's 1999 Operation Allied Force against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, Serbia.
Crossing into Serbia, I became immersed in the fascinating place that is Belgrade. The city has an inherent vitality, cosmopolitan feel, and stunning history spanning many eras. Graffiti on the walls and conversations with residents revealed a myriad of sentiments regarding Serbia's candidacy to join the European Union, the status of Kosovo, and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Belgrade also presented a stark reminder of the NATO bombings of 1999; aside from anti-American and anti-NATO graffiti, the crippled frames of bombed out buildings are still on display for all passersby to see. It was a strange and unnerving feeling to walk beside the remains of military operations that occurred in my lifetime.
Travelling from Tallinn, Estonia to Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina was an experience in exploring extraordinarily different countries, but all countries that have witnessed in various forms oppression, violence, and now, healing. Historical monuments and new commercial developments stand side by side as a testament to the future, and as a reminder of the past. This journey allowed a type of real world application of coursework taken at the Jackson School and reflection upon the histories unique to each country. Museums in each capital helped to explain how these historical events are being remembered (or at least presented), and how residents and tourists are engaging with both the past and the future.
Wes Kovarik is a 2014 Jackson School MAIS student.

A Single Database Platform
MarkLogic is a document-centric, schema-agnostic, structure-aware, clustered, transactional, secure, database server with built-in search and a full suite of
application services.
MarkLogic is a NoSQL document database that stores XML or JSON, but can also store images, videos, and more. MarkLogic can also store billions of RDF triples that you can query with SPARQL, harnessing the power of semantic web technologies.
MarkLogic is the only Enterprise NoSQL database with built-in search capabilities, not bolt-on like other NoSQL solutions. MarkLogic has lightning fast search and 30+ indexes that enable combination queries and unlimited, real-time alerting.
Application Services
MarkLogic has full-featured Java and REST APIs, among many others, to make managing data and building two- and three-tiered applications easy, giving developers faster access in the language they feel most comfortable with.
MarkLogic Architecture
MarkLogic uses a document-based, hierarchical data model that stores data natively as XML. MarkLogic's data model does not require you to pre-define a schema as you would with a relational database—you can quickly ingest data from a variety of sources as-is. And, MarkLogic ingests just about anything, including XML and JSON documents, OLTP data, streaming data, geospatial data, Linked Data (RDF triples), and more.
Data Storage and Management
MarkLogic works great as a single database platform for data management and access. MarkLogic, on its own, is designed with three main layers:
- Interfaces – Java, REST, and XQuery APIs that provides data access for applications. For more information, read the guides on the XQuery Search API, REST API, and Java API >>
- Evaluation Layer – Handles incoming queries in what are called evaluation nodes (e-nodes), and aggregates results to broadcast to the interface layer. Includes a query cache for storing documents in-memory
- Data Layer – Indexes, compresses, and caches XML or JSON data in what are called data nodes (d-nodes). And, manages transactions across clusters using a transaction controller and transaction journal
Hadoop and HDFS
MarkLogic integrates well into existing infrastructure, including Hadoop. For integrating with Hadoop, the MarkLogic Connector for Hadoop provides a seamless integration that makes it easy to ingest data to MarkLogic or Hadoop and run queries using either platform. Hadoop can be used to run MapReduce jobs, and HDFS can be used as a storage tier.
MarkLogic is flexible with storage, and includes a tiered storage REST API that gives you the ability to triage your data based on cost and performance trade-offs between any combination of storage tiers—SSD, local disk (DAS) and shared disk (SAN, NAS), or cost-effective storage on Amazon S3 and HDFS. You do not need to go through complicated and expensive ETL and data duplication—index your data once when it is first ingested and continue to access it as you move it across storage tiers.
Search and Indexes
MarkLogic is the only Enterprise NoSQL database with built-in search capabilities, not bolt-on like other NoSQL solutions. MarkLogic delivers lightning fast, sub-second search results at scale—even hundreds of terabytes of data and billions of documents. MarkLogic has over 30 indexes that enable advanced features such as real-time alerting, page-ranking, type-ahead suggestions, and combination queries across documents, data, and triples.
Security and Auditing
MarkLogic is the most secure NoSQL database, having higher security certifications than any of its competitors. MarkLogic is the only NoSQL database certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership/Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (NIAP/CCEVS). And, MarkLogic is installed and operational on government systems that are PL3 or ICD 503 certified and accredited. MarkLogic uses granular, document-level, role-based access control (RBAC) as its security model.
Performance Monitoring
MarkLogic has the tools that enterprise DBAs expect, including dashboards and rich APIs for cluster management, process automation, access controls, database cloning, and audit trails. MarkLogic also integrates with third-party tools such as Nagios, or you can connect with other tools using the REST API.
MarkLogic's flexible data model and extensibility means that developers can build applications faster—whether it is a real-time, transactional application that needs to process thousands of transactions per second, or a search and discovery application that relies on MarkLogic's indexes. MarkLogic provides Java and REST APIs so that developers can build applications in the language they feel most comfortable with.
Get Started
MarkLogic offers free Developer Licenses and free training through MarkLogic University. In-depth documentation and over 50 various tutorials and videos are also available on Developer.MarkLogic.com. Or, if you're interested in Enterprise Licenses that start at $0.99/hr, don't hesitate to contact us.

Aio Wireless is the brainchild of Jennifer Van Buskirk. In a former life, she acted as Senior Vice President of Mobility Strategy for AT&T, where her performance earned her enough trust from the higher-ups that they asked her to run their new company: Aio Wireless. Her new joint venture retains all of the reliability of AT&T's 4G/LTE network, but gives folks a chance to break free of contractual shackles with a pay-as-you-go plan. In fact, the whole process has been streamlined. Aio lets clients use their own cell phone rather than buying a new one with unlimited talk, text, and data plans.
Despite the cutting edge gadgetry and the reliable network, however, the stores' approach to technology is more than just practical. Their array of phone cases, for example, brighten iPhones, Galaxies and Lumias in neon hues. Their earbud headphones, meanwhile, let phone owners play their tunes on the go without schlepping their tuba everywhere.

Wonderful hotel only steps away from the Beach in a great neighborhood in Tel Aviv

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Bexee A few pleasant days in Tel Aviv
The hotel is a very comfortable hotel over the road from the beach in Tel Aviv. It is a short walk from there to Jaffa or around NIS30 in a Taxi.
The hotel has an excellent bar service in the main bar, an extension of the lobby into the vast atrium. They also have a rather nice and cosy cigar bar in which I spent far too much money...
The rooms are good, with a comfortable bed and the usual amenities of a 5* hotel. I had asked for a double and got a twin, and was moved straight away. Excellent service from the staff.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jennings70 Wonderful hotel and superb location.
This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I have stayed at Intercontinental hotels many times and this experience met and exceeded my experience of the others.
If you want to stay at a luxury hotel with a great location, this hotel is it. I had a magnificent view of the Mediterranean Sea that was right across the street. In addition I was within walking distance of great places to shop and dine. Also, the concierge staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending and arranging appropriate sightseeing opportunities.

The food was good but I prefer plainer food. Perhaps you could include simpler fare such as chicken soup, a grilled chicken breast, etc As well, in your EXECUTIVE LOUNGE, the daytime menu does not vary from day to day. I did like the lounge and would use it again.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by DCtravel Egret location , terrible room service
As with all Intercon properties , this one is very well located but the staff need a fair bit of training and the room service is the worst we have ever had , suggest any visitor brush up on the rules of Kosher food and Shabbat regulations especially when staying at this property because it's a full Kosher hotel and eating there isn't easy , in fact very poor consideration for non kosher travellers.Concierge service was excellent !

Very well situated, with wonderful views of sea and city.
Staff cares about your needs and beyond. for example while going up to room in elevator my wife said "I can use some champaign." Someone from the Club heard her asked for our room number. A few minutes later up comes a chilled bottle complimentary.
Our overall experience was excellent.

Video: AccuScore report for Pats-Ravens
September, 20, 2012
By ESPNBoston.com
In the video above, Cary Chow goes inside the numbers to see how the Patriots-Ravens game (8:20 p.m., NBC) plays out in AccuScore game simulations.
Among the findings:
* The Ravens won 60 percent of more than 10,000 AccuScore simulations by an average score of 28-24.
* Tom Brady is projected for nearly 300 yards passing and two scores, but in simulations the Ravens win, he averages more than one interception.
* Joe Flacco is putting up big numbers in simulations, but the key is Ray Rice. When Rice has at least 70 rushing yards on more than 4.5 yards per carry, the Ravens are 76 percent favorites.
* But in simulations in which Stevan Ridley outrushes Rice, the Pats are 61 percent favorites.

A Washington man suspected of randomly shooting a hitchhiker near Glasgow over the weekend made his initial court appearance in Roosevelt County Justice Court on Monday morning.
Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier said Lloyd Christopher Danielson III, 52, of Tumwater, Wash., was arraigned before Judge Traci Harada in Wolf Point on a charge of driving under the influence and faces a felony charge of assault with a weapon in Valley County.
Harada set bail for Danielson at $50,000 on the felony assault charge and $685 for the DUI.
Meier planned to pick Danielson up on Monday afternoon and book him into the Valley County jail later in the afternoon.
Raymond Dolin, a 39-year-old West Virginia resident, is hitchhiking and writing a memoir called "The Kindness of America." He was sitting along Highway 2 west of Glasgow on Saturday evening when a man drove up in a pickup truck, shot him in the arm and left, Meier said.
"He was sitting down to have a little lunch, and this guy drives up. He thought he was going to give him a ride, and, as he approached the vehicle, the guy pulls out his weapon and shoots him. It's as simple as that," Meier said.
Dolin was able to flag down a passerby and was taken to Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow with what Meier described as "a very non-life-threatening injury."
A nurse said on Monday that he was not taking calls or accepting messages, and a hospital spokesman said later in the day that Dolin was not listed on the patient roster.
Law enforcement officials were able to track the pickup truck to Culbertson after Fort Peck tribal officers spotted it in Poplar. Roosevelt County Sheriff's deputies arrested its driver, identified by Meier as Danielson, in Culbertson about four hours after the shooting.
Meier said it appears that there is no connection between the two men and described the shooting as random. Danielson could make his first court appearance in Valley County as early as Tuesday.
Danielson was apparently headed to Williston, N.D., for work tied to the oil boom, although Meier said he offered few details.
The shooting follows another random attack earlier this year in which a popular 43-year-old teacher from Sidney was allegedly kidnapped and killed by two Colorado men on their way to the Bakken.
As the two Colorado men wait trial in that case for the alleged murder of teacher Sherry Arnold's death, the case has stoked worries that a once-quiet corner of Montana has been irreversibly altered by the oil boom.
Crime rates across western North Dakota and Eastern Montana have spiked as thousands of workers flock to a region that has become one of the top oil-producing areas of the country.
But Meier said Danielson's quick arrest by deputies in Roosevelt County 100 miles away from the shooting shows law enforcement is keeping up with the changes.
"We're still the wonderful people in Montana we've always been, and we'll get through this," Meier said. "Things are going to happen whether there's the Bakken or not."
Meier did not know if any words were exchanged between the alleged shooter and victim before Dolin was shot. He said they did not know each other.
Dolin's father, Melvin Dolin, declined to speak about his son's plans, saying he had been working on his photography.
"I'd rather you eventually get that story from him. He had some ideas about that," Melvin Dolin said.
His son had left home in Julian, W. Va., last week bound for Washington state, said Melvin Dolin. He took a bus to the edge of Montana and intended to work his way to Washington from there, the father said.
"He was on the way across the country taking pictures," Melvin Dolin said, adding that his son's travel plans had been flexible. "He was going to make up his mind as he travelled along. But he didn't get that far."
The sheriff's office had identified Danielson as a resident of Olympia, Wash., but he said in court that he was from Tumwater, Wash., Harada said.
Danielson has criminal convictions in King County, Wash., for assault, unlawful possession of a firearm, obstruction of law enforcement and exhibiting or carrying a weapon with intent to intimidate. Records show he was sentenced in 2005 to eight months in jail on the charges.
