I was walking down the street when a car drove by with two men in it who thought it necessary to scream at us. They didn't scream anything in particular, just trying to make noise to startle us or something? Regardless of their intentions, my gut reaction was to loudly screech back at them.
Even though it wasn't the worst harassment I've endured from men on the street, it felt good to shout back at men who felt the need to assert their "dominance" or whatever through street harassment.

I walk every night. I carry my phone with me and listen to a book as I walk. I live in a nice area made up of residential homes, but even so I still am aware of my surroundings. Along the main road sometimes some people lean out their window and stare or or say something rude to me. Some people try to see how close they can get to me without pushing me off the road. But tonight I experienced something that was really odd.
I hear a car coming and I glance back. It's a police car, the car slows and I think the man Is going to stop and talk to me. As I look back again he slows until he's about ten feet behind me then sits there. He crawled along at me at me walking pace for about five minuets. He then proceeded to pull up to the stop sign in front of me and stare at me through his rear view. I crossed to the opposite side of the road not wanting to be near him. I stop and look for oncoming traffics to see if it is safe to cross. No one was coming. I cross to another street the whole time aware of his gaze on me.
When I'm just about getting out of his sight he pulls up and continues to follow me. After a few mins he drives down my street and out of view. I understand the police have a duty to watch people who might he showing suspicious conduct. But all I was doing was walking. And if he had a problem he should have spoken to me. If it had been anyone else in a normal car following me I would have called the cops. But what do you do when it's the cop who's the problem?
He knew he was making me uncomfortable and yet he continued. I kept checking over my shoulder the whole way home he made me so nervous. I shouldn't have to feel that way from someone who's there to protect me. My gut was telling me it was wrong.
A couple of years ago I was walking through my high school when someone, dressed in uniform I may add, grabbed my butt from behind. I was speechless and felt hurt and degraded. I looked back only to see the man who wasn't even a student with a smirk on face, like he was proud of what he did or felt it was his right to do so. Ugh! Disgusting.
I was standing outside a restaurant with my family waiting for our car to be brought around by the valet. I'm 17 years old and was with my older brother, mom and dad. I had worn a brand new mini skirt and long sleeve t shirt to dinner and was so pleased with my outfit! A middle aged man walked by and leered "I love your outfit". I was so disgusted and felt humiliated and helpless in front of my family. I told him to fuck off after he'd passed but wish I had done something bolder.

This incident happened on a train station. It was night time and I came from school. Typical day, crowded station and people pushing. I was lining up to slip in the card to the entrance when a man behind me just got too close. So close I could feel his crotch on my butt and his chest on my back. I looked at him but that didn't stop him to push me in that manner. I was so scared and almost cried that time.

First incident, I was walking down the street. It was night time and just got out of school. I was wearing formal attire. Slacks and blouse. Nothing provocative when suddenly someone was saying "Miss, hi, i love you" I looked and saw a truck driving just a little behind me. I paced myself as they follow. "Miss, you're so beautiful, I love you" that to me was scary. Then My boyfriend was just around the corner. He almost ran to the vehicle when he found out.

Myself and a female friend were walking home after playing basketball on a summer afternoon a couple years ago. We live in a "nice" town, that has very low crime rates, so we were shocked when this incident occurred.
Walking past the local high school, a truck drove by us, and a man shouted something at us as he went by. It didn't really register because we couldn't distinguish words, and the sidewalk was set back quite a ways from the street. We shrugged and continued on our way. 2 blocks later, we were standing on a street corner, waiting to cross a busy street. This same truck pulled up next to us, and the man proceeded to harass us. At first, I couldn't hear him very well, and because I was naive, I actually thought he might be asking for directions. But I quickly realized that this was not his intent.
My friend and I were each carrying a basketball, and these were old, and just so happened to be black. The man started out asking, "Do you know how to handle those balls?" I was 14 at the time, and somewhat sheltered, so it took me a moment to realize what the asshole was implying. He kept going on and on, "Hey, can you show me how to handle those big black balls?" He continued on like this for about a minute.
He was smirking and laughing at us the whole time, as my friend and I cringed in shame. I wanted to flip him off so badly, but all I ended up doing was giving him a "talk to the hand"gesture.
The light finally changed, and my friend and I were eager to get away, so we raced out into the crosswalk. The asshole was turning left, and instead of waiting for us to cross the street, as the law requires, he chose to almost run us over while he leered at us one last time.
I was so angry, and still am, that this happened, and that we had no comeback or retaliation.

I walk my dog everyday and everyday I thank god that my dog is big and scary looking, because if I were alone or he wasn't 50kg's I'm sure my stories would be a lot worse.
I was walking my dog down the footpath on a busy main road, I get the usual hooks and woof whistles (I now actively avoid main roads because these make me uncomfortable) when i come to an intersection where i normally have to wait a while to to cross.
A car pulls up to the intersection containing two men, they wind down the drivers side window to look at me, one of the men says "I like your dog" I reply with a quick "thanks…" hoping that they'd pull away as the intersection was clear, the man doesn't and he continues to say "but i like you more". I am now too terrified to cross the road, as it would mean passing the car where i could potentially be grabbed and dragged into, two men vs a 45kg girl is a losing battle.
cars were piling up behind they wouldnt drive away.
I stand there and stare at them until they realise im not going to come across the road and they drive off.
I don't go on main roads anymore, I unfortunately have many more stories of being verbally abused in public streets but this is one of my more recent.

I was on the TARC bus on my way home from class at UofL. A man sat across from me and began to hit on a woman who had been there since before he got on. She eventually got off the bus, and my stop was also coming up. When I got up to leave, the man stood up and came up very close behind me (he was a good foot or so taller than I am) and started breathing down onto the top of my head. When I tried to move away from him, he shouted, "Damn, you've got some big-ass legs!" I didn't turn around because the bus driver hadn't done anything so far and I doubted I'd be assisted if I tried to defend myself verbally and he retaliated physically. The man turned back to another man who had been sitting behind us and said, "Aren't they some big-ass legs?" The other man grunted in agreement. The men had gotten on at different stops and hadn't interacted until this point, so I'd have to say this was my first experience with two men who didn't know each other working together to harass and humiliate me.
I don't have a car and it gets too cold for me to ride my bike in the winter in Louisville, so the TARC is often my only option. I wish I could say this type of interaction is rare, but really I get harassed the majority of the time I take the bus. I also get harassed on my bike (most recently by a father taking his kids out of church– charming), so there's no entirely comfortable way for me to get to school.

I wish I had just one story that I could share, perhaps ten years ago I would have had just one. Now that I am in my 20's I have hundreds of them. I have had guys call me every name in the book from beautiful to hey your lips would look good on me. I've had strangers grope me and demean me in front of on lookers who do nothing. I've been at work and had to tolerate comments from contractors all while being told if I say anything it'll be my job not theirs all while maintaining a professional front. It's really hard to be professional when a guy whom is 10+ years older than your own father looks you square in the eye and tells you "You look good enough to eat" or "those legs look good now but would look better around me". My skin crawls and my stomach churns. All I can think to myself is how can men say these things when in all reality they would kill a motherf*ker for saying THE SAME EXACT THING to their Mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, best friends, grandmothers.
P.S the picture I uploaded is my best friend whenever i go out! Every girl needs one!

Bell Helicopter plans to certificate a wheeled landing gear modification of the Bell 429 light twin by the end of the year, chief executive John Garrison says.
The modification will be limited to customers mainly outside the USA and Europe, however, until a regulatory question with the US Federal Aviation Administration is answered.
The wheeled landing gear allows the Bell 429 to park and taxi on the ground at airports with limited open space.
Bell is "on track" to certificate the upgrade with Transport Canada on schedule by the end of 2013, Garrison says.
As the upgrade comes with a 113kg (250lb) weight penalty, the Bell 429 needs a 226kg exemption from the 3,180kg take-off weight limit imposed by the FAA on all helicopters certificated under Part 27 aviation regulations.
Transport Canada is among 16 international regulatory agencies that have approved Bell's request for a 226kg exemption from the Part 27 limit.
The FAA denied Bell's request for an exemption, and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has made no ruling until US regulators render a decision on the company's appeal.
"It is under review [by the FAA] and they are doing the technical analysis of the 500lb weight exemption," Garrison says.
Bell hopes that a separate regulatory action launched by the FAA earlier this year may work in the company's favour on the exemption request for the Bell 429. The last time the FAA granted an exemption to the Part 27 weight limit was nearly 20 years ago.
The exemption was approved only because the FAA had agreed to propose a rulemaking that ultimately led to lifting the Part 27 limit from 2,720kg to the current 3,180kg, Garrison says.
Earlier this year, the FAA proposed rewriting the Part 27 regulations again. If the agency follows through, it could set the stage for approving exemptions to the current rules while the rulemaking goes through a lengthy certification process.
"It's gong to take some time," Garrison says, "but perhaps that will give them an opportunity to think about the exemption."

Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy continued to draw flak over the steep increase in electricity charges with his own Cabinet colleagues joining the chorus for roll back of the tariff hike and restrict the damage to the party.
After Union Minister K. Chiranjeevi's missive and critical remarks by Rajya Sabha member V. Hanumantha Rao, it was the turn of Endowments Minister C. Ramachandraiah to criticise the decision which he described as 'irrational and devoid of logic'.
"It is drawing serious opposition from the people. I cannot understand why the issue was not discussed inside party fora," he said. He wondered whether APERC would hike the tariff without the approval of the Government.
He took an indirect dig at the Chief Minister for what he called the 'unilateral decision' on the tariff hike. Consultations, he observed, always brings out the best suggestions. With elections to local bodies round the corner, the hike was sure to impact the Congress party's prospects.
Meanwhile, Panchayat Raj Minister K. Jana Reddy and Medical Education Minister Kondru Murali Mohan said they would raise the burden caused on the common man by the power tariff hike at the meeting proposed to be convened by the Chief Minister. "Our concern is that common man should not bear the brunt of the hike," Mr. Reddy remarked.
ACC chief Botcha Satyanarayana said that, if necessary, the issue would be discussed in party fora also. Former Minister J. C. Diwakar Reddy and senior party MLA Cheruku Muthyam Reddy said curbing power theft and transmission losses would avert the need to hike tariffs. Congress party MLCs K. Yadav Reddy and K. R. Amos demanded roll back of the hike.
Chief Minister continues to draw flak over the matter with Cabinet colleagues too joining the chorus for

Yellowstone To Launch A Collaborative Adaptive Management Program For Winter Use
National Park Service

Yellowstone To Launch A Collaborative Adaptive Management Program For Winter Use
Yellowstone National Park is preparing to kick-off a collaborative Adaptive Management Program to evaluate the implementation of its new winter use management plan.
As a strategy widely used in other complex conservation programs across the globe, collaborative adaptive management will allow the National Park Service (NPS) to gather more information about park resource conditions through scientific monitoring and to seek additional public input. Managers will consider this additional information to assess and improve the management of winter use in Yellowstone National Park. Managers may also use this information to adjust NPS management actions in order to enhance the condition of park resources or the visitor experience.
An initial public meeting about Yellowstone's Adaptive Management Program will be held in Bozeman, Montana on Friday, November 22, 2013 at the MSU Engineering and Physical Sciences Building (Room 126) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For people and organizations who cannot attend the meeting in-person, the NPS will offer the option to participate remotely. Additional details will be provided. The meeting will outline a roadmap for collaboratively developing a winter use adaptive management plan; include presentations about the park's scientific monitoring on winter use; and offer opportunities for public input on adaptive management. The NPS requests that all interested parties RSVP to confirm their meeting attendance or remote participation by Friday, November 8, 2013.
Following the first meeting, the NPS will work with the public and all interested stakeholders on the preparation of a long-term and sustainable adaptive management plan. The plan will describe how the NPS will monitor and evaluate its management strategy for winter use for years to come.
NPS staff expects to present a draft adaptive management plan for winter use to the public in summer 2014, and to complete a final adaptive management and monitoring plan by the 2016-2017 winter season.
The Adaptive Management Program is part of the new management paradigm for winter use outlined by the recently released winter use final Plan/Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision and final rule.
For more information, please visit the program web page: http://www.nps.gov/yell/parkmgmt/wuamp.htm. To RSVP for the meeting, please contact Rebecca Garvoille, Yellowstone's Adaptive Management Coordinator, at (307) 344-2265 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mega Mirror: SUPER SONIC'S LEAP.
SONIC may once have been Sega's mascot, but now the spiky blue hedgehog is set to make the leap on to Nintendo's Game Boy Advance in Japan this summer.
The speedy critter celebrates his 10th birthday this year. Since he made his debut in 1991, a cool 15 million Sonic games have been sold worldwide.
Sega has announced that it will also be releasing a version of the action puzzler Chu Chu Rocket and Puyo Puyo, another puzzle game, for the Game Boy Advance.
The Japanese games giant, which has recently switched from making consoles to providing software for other platforms, will also launch the beat 'em up Virtua Fighter 4, the adventure game Sakura War and the space action game Space Channel 5 for the PlayStation 2.
Meanwhile, Sega has slashed the price of the Dreamcast to pounds 99.99. The company has also said it will roll out more than 30 games for the internet-ready machine this year, including Daytona USA, Sonic Adventure 2 and Crazy Taxi 2. The Dreamcast was launched in October 1999 and orginally cost pounds 199.99.

Rabbinic Svengali Quits Paladino
Candidate is no longer sufficiently homophobic
This keeps getting better and better.
• On Sunday, New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, a Tea Party favorite, says offensive things about gay people to applauding ultra-Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. However, he omits this especially heinous sentence in his prepared remarks: "There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual."
• Then, on Monday, Paladino clarifies his remarks, cryptically blaming unnamed Jewish leaders whose consultations had provoked the line he skipped.
• Then, yesterday, we learn what Paladino was talking about: An explicitly right-wing pseudo-Hasidic Brooklyn
hack rabbi named Yehuda Levin has become Paladino's ambassador to Brooklyn's ultra-Orthodox community. Of Sunday's speech, Levin says, "I stand ready to defend the content."
• Then, this morning, Paladino apologizes for his speech.
• And finally! This afternoon, speaking in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral (!), Levin—who mere days ago was so close to Paladino that the candidate could joke about firing his campaign manager, Michael R. Caputo, and hiring Levin—withdraws his support for Paladino, saying he cannot back him "until such time as he straightens out." Pun, hopefully, intended.
Meanwhile, Caputo just described Cuomo as "oily." So that's the gays and now the Italians you're offending. Who could be next? (I have a guess!)

We enjoyed our stay at Quantum Leaps. I'm not really a nature girl, but this place may have won me over. Incredible setting, quiet and serene -it was just what our family needed. We loved the campfire in the Teepee and the amenities in the Southpoint Cottage. We hope to return again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1079 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Alberto9 Can this Hotel from SPG be any better? As an SPG owner in Hawaii area- one would think that SPG would provide better service to their owners. I stayed a few nights in June 2014 and although staff was nice and did their best, I did not receive an upgrade to a Starwood preferred floor-This really bothered me at first but then I realized that maybe SPG does not care. Maybe there is some disconnect between SPG and Sheraton Waikiki? Can this hotel from SPG be any better? This is what SPG and the Sheraton Waikiki should ask themselves. What can SPG and the Sheraton Waikiki do to accommodate SPG Gold and Platinum members-who actually own timeshare in Hawaii? June 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbadam2 Staff Brett around the infinity pool area was simply outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. I looked forward to seeing his family face every morning and bought a great pair of Maui Mim sunnies from him. I believe the poolside menu could have some more variety June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim60 This hotel is excellent! We slept, swam, ate and laughed our way all through the most relaxing vacation ever. The staff was wonderful from the beginning until we finally had to say goodbye. The sea turtles swam up close to the hotel every day and they were great to see as well! We look forward to returning next year! June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jjjmom Best hotel in waikiki The hotel is very welcoming . They accommodate you upon your requests. Views are beautiful, hotel ambience Is wonderful .I've stayed here 5 times in the past year and a half . I keep coming back because they treat you superbly and its BEAUTIFUL HOTEL conveniently close to all shopping and restaurants also June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Metz love the location Had a wonderful time with the grandkids. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ki23 Beautiful Hawaii A wonderful stay in beautiful Hawaii. We love this hotel, the infinite pool is awesome and enjoyed the water yoga! Great beach access and convenient food by the pool. Our only complaint was that the charge for the lounger with a cushion. Regular loungers were free but anything with a cushion cost more! Loved the upgrade to an Ocean view. Would highly recommend this hotel, We have stayed here before and it did not disappoint not us. Best kept secret of Honolulu. We also stayed at another hotel during this trip and it did not compare to this hotel. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrtravel28 Best hotel in paradise Had a great stay but it started with a few negatives. Had suite awards pending with suites showing available and then was told that SPG corporate canceled the request. Luckily the concierge was able to push the upgrade through and got us situated in the KAI suite, amazing. The hotel is huge and so is the resort fee. We went to the infinity pool and claimed the platinum chairs early in the morning only to be escorted out as one is supposed to reserve those weeks earlier, would have been nice to know. Brett at the pool however made it right and we got a complimentary cabana the next day. However the larger pool was closed that day without prior notice so once again, great to pay a resort fee for that! The lounge at this property is huge, however feels like a marketplace. There is a register there and a very pro- Japanese only staff. SPG should remind them that a Sheraton lounge is mainly for business travelers who earned access through loyalty, not a way to squeeze $100 from a family of four by promising them authentic Japanese food for breakfast. Complimentary are only beer and some wines everything else is nickel and diming. No mixed drinks at the lounge either......I thought we were in Hawaii? Compared to a lounge for Diamond members in a hotel down the street, this lounge leaves a lot to be desired....come on, bring to pina coladas and mai tais to the lounge or get rid of a lounge and just convert it into a restaurant for all the loyal guests from East Asia. I would however stay at this hotel again as it is the nicest hotel in Waikiki overall, if they solve the lounge issues I listed it would be and unbelievable place. June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by catherinemaxh Fantastic resort in the heart of Waikiki! We stayed at his hotel for 19 days in March of this year and would like to acknowledge the EXCELLENT customer service that we received. Thank you to Elaine at the Front Desk- she met us with a smile and made us feel welcomed right away! She was friendly and very professional. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. Thank you to the housekeeping supervisor Jason- he was very friendly and helpful from the moment he said hello. Kudos to Jason for taking such pride in his housekeeping department and keeping the hotel guests happy and comfortable!! Thank you to Jamie Fucos in the Leahi Lounge- he is an amazing lounge manager and welcomed us with the Aloha spirit and some very kind words. He even remembered our names every time he saw us, and that's very impressive and special in such a large resort! He made himself accessible to the guests of the Leahi Lounge and even brought over a new glass of juice when my daughter spilled hers. The MOST special surprise was a signed Sheraton Waikiki postcard from some of the lounge staff on my birthday. Thank you to Jamie for being so thoughtful! We've already booked a reservation to return to the Sheraton Waikiki in August and we're looking forward to another great stay. In a busting world of large resorts, it's a wonderful thing to feel welcomed and valued as a hotel guest. Thank you to the Sheraton Waikiki for your excellent customer service and attention to detail! June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fryday this hotel is great We love visiting this hotel. We are treated extremely well...The staff in the Leahi Lounge are extremely customer focused and go out of there way to provide for all our needs. the only comment I would make is Rumfire has dropped the ball. The Happy Hour is very disappointing. It used to be one of the hotel highlights. The staff are only worried about their tip and getting a big order. They have lost the customer focus. Other then rumfire we love the Sheraton Waikiki. June 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by vb11111 House keeping needs much improvement Your house keeping was really bad. They had to replace two fridges to get us a working one. Each day the house keeper was forgetting something one day no coffee one day no cups ...each time we had to call. For a hotel like this caliber it's not acceptable. June 17, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by MarcVancity Infinity Pool staff I just finished an 11 night stay. The best part our stay was Brett and Mike at the infinity pool. Made our stay great and we will return because of them. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimtraveller Another wonderful stay (Nay 16-18) I stayed at this hotel with my dad for our visit in Honolulu. We got upgraded to a wonderful ocean front king-bedroom. The view was breath-taking and very private on our balcony. We enjoyed the club lounge very much, Great food, wonderful staff, spacious, and with a amazing view at Waikiki Beach and the Diamond Head. The evening lounge hours were really good, 4-8pm, very considerate about potential time differences for the visiting guests. We got a 2pm late check out, which works out for us for our evening flight. Highly recommend! June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoeR21 HOTEL & LOCATION HAS IT ALL . . . . We've stayed here since 1977 when our daughter was 7 and stayed recently when our granddaughter turned 7. This is the best place on the beach at Waikiki. The location is great with an spectacular view of Diamond Head and access to the beach and nearby shopping. The new family pool, with slide, is awesome. The staff is friendly with a lot of Aloha spirit and the configuration of the hotel allows for nice breezes to pass through. Will always be our first choice.... June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ozone2014 Great stay plus!! Very accommodating resort which caters to all. Room was decent size and comfortable. Housekeeping was thorough and efficient. Plenty of shopping, restaurant and water fun options available either onsite or in close proximity to the resort. This a very busy resort but the staff from check-in to check-out was excellent and courteous from the front desk to the hallways and pool decks. The hotel concierge service were helpful and their work was spot on. Extra kudos to breakfast service staff Roy, Tony, Lynn and Bridget in the KAI Market restaurant. An absolute bright spot in our stay we looked forward to their courteous and personal type service every day, These folks truly care about their work and their guests and will be missed. The breakfast buffet options were numerous the food was fresh, delicious and constantly replenished . Overall the pools were very relaxing and beverage services available to them was very good, I would recommend this resort to anyone. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VSHawaii14 Fantastic and well located property This hotel is extremely well located to great restaurants, shopping, beaches in fact everything is within walking distance.

Great hotel for conferencing with loads of space, rooms are spacious, we were lucky enough to be upgraded and could easily have stayed forever!! Thank you Sheraton Waikiki, hope to see you soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aloha777 This hotel is getting better every year Since my first stay at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in 1985 I can say for sure that everything is just getting better there every year: the service, the rooms, the bars and restaurants, the pools and absolutely THE STUFF, I will always remember their Aloha smile... In Celebration of Aloha! June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WSD1 Above and beyond good customer service. I don't know if we were extremely lucky or if all of your employees excel in customer service but both Ashley and Derek were extremely helpful, cheerful and professional upon check in and Ross (Rum Fire) was an excellent server, he was knowledgeable of the menu and the rum and the things to do in the area. They all went above and beyond to make us all (group of 8) to feel welcomed and comfortable. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WSD1 This hotel is a perfect getaway for either a romantic vacation or a family vacation. Perfect location, excellent restaurants and bars!!! Most importantly a well educated and very friendly staff. Derek & Ashley at the front desk were the best I have ever experienced. They were so patient and professional in handling our check in and special requests. Thank you for making my family trip most memorable. June 3, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by mike1979 Great Location But Lacking in Room Quality This hotel is rated a 4 star hotel. From the outside, everything about the hotel is 4 star quality: Nice pools (awesome slide by the way), awesome lounge bar (RumFire), but the rooms definitely need improvement. We booked a City View room and got the 10th floor. As I walked into the room, it smelled very stale. The decor looks to have been remodeled, but the floor looks dated. Also, there was a seating bench in front of the bed that had traces of baby powder on there still. Plus in the bathroom, I saw a piece of hair still left in the tub. Their room service brochure looks like someone spilled water on it as it was crinkly in touch. It's these attention to detail things that disappoint me for a 4 star hotel. I do realize that there are so many rooms to clean and maybe not enough staffing, but that doesn't mean you should cut corners on making sure that a room is clean for the next guest. Rather than call housekeeping or the front desk to complain, we just decided to get our room serviced the next day, where we indicated that we wanted all the linens and bathroom towels changed. They did a good job then of making sure we got a clean set to use. But I still saw the powder on that bench seat. Overall, this is a decent hotel to stay at. Its located perfectly in Waikiki. I had a fun time with the pool slide. The drinks are so good there too. (Scorched Strawberry to be exact). I really just wished they paid more attention to the room cleanliness. June 2, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen73 Relax and Enjoy The Sheraton Waikiki is our favorite place to take a vacation and enjoy complete relaxation and comfort. We always stay at the Sheraton Waikiki for our annual trip to Hawaii. We love everything about it. It is always hard to say goodbye on our last day but we know that we will be welcomed back again next time. The hotel offers the highest level of service, the view is amazing and the entire staff treat us like lifelong friends. We can't wait for our next visit to our favorite place. Be sure and watch for the sea turtles that swim up in front of the hotel every afternoon. You can easily see them from the infinity pool. Sheraton Waikiki has everything we need for a perfect vacation. Aloha! June 1, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Humber ENJOYABLE STAY This was our first stay at the Sheraton Waikiki - our booking was for the Club Floor! We thought it was a good deal, even though pricey, we stayed for five nights and paid for four nights and could use the Leahi Club Lounge 30th floor for Breakfast and Eve Hors D Oeuvres. The check-in was smooth/normal but we were rather disappointed at not getting a visible upgrade on the Club Floor. In-fact the room was very sparingly furnished, no drawers to organize our things and did not even have a sitting corner to relax in. We used with pleasure the Leahi Club Lounge, 30th floor every day of our stay and enjoyed uninterrupted/unlimited Waikiki's breathtaking views. At the time of check-in we were given a "Welcoming "letter from the General Manager welcoming us to the Sheraton Waikiki in the true Hawaiian spirit! The letter included 1 time evening pass to the exclusive Leahi Club Lounge, 30th floor, the use of which was already part of our Club Floor booking package. It took me a while to understand this superfluous letter of invitation! All was sailing smooth – we enjoyed being at the Sheraton Waikiki, the pool, the beach and the food at the Rum Fire restaurant till the very end. On the last day of our stay, in the morning I was at the SPG Front Desk to get a preview of our "Bill" and also ensure that the room key would be functional till the end of our stay (4 PM late check out). I was assured that it would be! Sure enough the Front Desk "SCREWED UP"! On our return from the Beach around 2PM we were unable to enter our room – LOCKED OUT! We kept waiting for the SECURITY to come and open but the response time appeared to be too long. I had to personally take another trip to the Front Desk to have the keys reprogrammed. We lost valuable time, almost an hour which we had allocated towards getting ready, packing-up and vacating the room on time. This episode, needless to say was very annoying!. May 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nurse808 Not for R&R I came to Oahu for a high school graduation and I stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki because I had free reward nights. This hotel is not for R&R. I have never stayed in noisier hotel. Our first morning we were rudely awakened by the alarm clock which had been set for 3:30 a.m. NOT by us. The 2nd morning, the alarm clock next door went off at 4:00 a.m. and they did not turn it off. I had to call the front desk and 30 minutes later it was finally turned off. The 3rd night there were partiers next door with children screaming past midnight. No alarms this time but each morning we listened to the beeping from trucks and buses backing up. No good night's sleep here. You have to get to the pool early to get a lounge chair. The up-side here, The Club lounge. You can't beat the view from up there, it's serene, and the food was great.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Preview 2009 - Offense
2009 Wake Forest
2009 Wake Forest
2009 Wake Forest
2009 Wake Forest
Depth Chart
2007 WF Preview
you need to know: The Demon Deacons will remain about as
conservative as a Texas politician, relying on a power running
game and a low-risk passing attack. The system works at Wake,
provided the offensive line takes care of its assignments. That
didn't happen in 2008, and the results were predictably poor.
The Deacons couldn't move it on the ground or through the air,
averaging just 308 yards a game. The line has regrouped, and
presumably will be much more effective, especially since massive
senior has regained his academic eligibility. If so, there's
enough talent at the skill positions to keep the chains moving.
Fourth-year starter Riley Skinner is a picture of stability at
quarterback, the backfield is deep, and the receivers are young
and very fast.
Returning Leaders
Passing: Riley Skinner
221-352, 2,181 yds, 12 TDs, 7 INTsRushing: Brandon
carries, 528 yds, 5 TDs
Receiving: Marshall Williams
26 catches, 390 yds, 2 TDs
Star of the offense:
Senior QB Riley SkinnerPlayer who has to
step up and become a star: Senior LT Chris DeGeareUnsung star on the rise:
Sophomore WR Devon BrownBest pro prospect:
Junior RB Josh AdamsTop three all-star candidates:
1) Skinner, 2) DeGeare, 3) Senior TE Ben WoosterStrength
of the offense:
Fourth-year starting quarterback, depth at running back
Weakness of the offense:
The passing game, the offensive line, red zone offense
Projected Starter:
Although NFL scouts aren't swarming over 6-1, 205-pound senior
Riley Skinner, Wake Forest is
ecstatic to have him in Winston-Salem for one final season. A
fourth-year starter and one of the most accurate passers in the country,
he's more efficient than eruptive, managing the game with a premium on
ball security. Last year's box score was a good snapshot of his game,
going 232-of-363 for 2,347 yards, 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions,
while finishing on the plus side in rushing yards. However, 26-11, his
record as a starter, is the statistic that resonates the loudest with
Jim Grobe and the coaching staff.
Projected Top Reserves: Backup Brett Hodges decided to
transfer out of the program, leaving it with a hole behind Skinner.
Senior Ryan McManus does not
have the highest upside, but he does know the system and possesses the
poise of a fifth-year player. A 6-1, 200-pound former walk-on, his
experience with the Deacons has been limited to holding on field goals
and PATs.The future at the position belongs to 6-1, 186-pound
sophomore Skylar Jones and
6-3, 185-pound redshirt freshman
Ted Stachitas, who'll be battling for more than just the backup
spot; both have their sights fixed on being Skinner's successor in 2010.
Jones is a tremendous all-around athlete, who's been clocked in the low
4.3s and will make people miss. The concern surrounds his passes, which
will sometimes flutter and be put up for grabs.Heavily recruited
coming out of high school, Stachitas has more natural ability as a
passer, yet will also make things happen outside the pocket. Once he
makes it all the way back from last year's shoulder surgery, he has the
potential, physically and mentally, to make a steady climb up the depth
chart in the summer.Watch Out For ... less throws
from Skinner. The Deacons threw the ball a little more than they'd
normally like, asking Skinner to air it out a career-high 363 times.
Sure, sometimes it was out of complete necessity, but Wake would prefer
him to drop back 20-25 times a game rather than 30-35.Strength:
Skinner. In an ACC that'll feature just two other senior
starters, No. 11 is an absolute luxury to have under center. He works as
hard as any other Deacon, leads by example, and won't hurt you with poor
decisions. His value to this program is impossible to measure by the
typical statistics.
Weakness: Zip. Not one
of the five quarterbacks on the roster is going to short-circuit the
Jugs machine. From Skinner on down, this group has modest arm strength,
which is a particular concern on out-patterns and deep balls.
Outlook: As long as Skinner remains durable, which has
not been a problem, Wake Forest will continue to boast one of the best
quarterback situations in the ACC. He may be a blue-collar guy, with
limited upside statistically, but he'll keep the Deacons in a position
to win games. It might not be flashy, but it's effective.
Rating: 7
Running BacksProjected Starters:
One ball. Three possible feature backs. It's the kind of math head coach
Jim Grobe never minds doing. The name of the feature back has yet to be
determined, but 6-0, 182-pound junior
Josh Adams will have a strong
case, provided he can stay healthy. The 2007 ACC Rookie of the Year
couldn't even approach his smashing debut, falling victim to nagging
injuries and poor support from the offensive line. Rather than contend
for a league rushing title, he only managed 402 yards and four
touchdowns on 122 carries, while catching just 16 passes for 120 yards.
When all is right, however, he's a talented slasher with the quickness
and vision to duck in and out of holes before the defense can apply a
direct hit.Leading the way for all those Deacon backs will be
6-3, 265-pound Mike Rinfrette,
an unselfish battering ram in the running game. Sure, he had 22 carries
for 52 yards and a score and caught eight balls for 73 yards and another
touchdown, but his main contribution is as a physical, no-nonsense
blocker. The senior has had some issues with concussions, which are the
only things capable of slowing him down. Projected Top
Reserves: When Adams' ankle flared up, 5-9, 200-pound sophomore
Brandon Pendergrass picked up
the slack, starting five straight games and finishing with a team-high
528 yards and five touchdowns on 150 carries. An ideal blend of power
and explosive speed, he runs so low to the ground, it's difficult to get
a clean shot on him. With just one year of experience, he'll continue to
get better with more reps.Half tailback and half fullback, 6-1,
225-pound senior Kevin Harris is Wake Forest's power guy of the trio. A physical,
north-south runner, he has delivered throughout his career when his
number has been called. Last December, for instance, he stepped up when
the team needed a workhorse in the bowl game, rushing 24 times for a
career-high 136 yards and catching two balls for 36 yards. Whether or
not he's the feature guy, he's certainly earned an expanded role as the
short-yardage option.
Watch Out For ... a committee. Why wear out one
runner when three have earned at least 10-12 carries a game? This is a
run-first offense, so there are plenty of touches to be divvied up
between Adams, Pendergrass, and Harris. While Grobe will go with the hot
hand, he'll also make sure everyone is fresh for the stretch run.
Strength: Depth.
How many schools can boast three returning backs, who had 100-yard games
in 2008? Not only does the depth give the coaching staff plenty of
options, but each of the runners offers something a little different.
Adams is the slasher, Pendergrass is the home run hitter, and Harris is
the bruiser.Weakness: Explosiveness. No, it was not
all their fault, but the backs have to share some of the blame for a
running game that averaged less than three yards a carry and had just a
single run of more than 25 yards all year. These guys need to
make some of their own magic and pick up more yards after contact.
Regardless of last year's mealy results, this is a deep and talented
backfield that should be ready for a swift rebound. The keys are health
and the play of the offensive line. If all three backs can stay off the
injured list and the blockers do their job, Wake will once again have
one of the ACC's top ground games.
Rating: 7.5
Projected Starters:
Both starters from last year, D.J. Boldin and Chip Brinkman, may be
gone, but the Deacons still feel pretty good about their young
playmakers at wide receiver. The veteran and leading returner is 6-1,
193-pound junior Marshall Williams, who earned a pair of starts last year and caught
26 balls for 390 yards and two touchdowns. He has the size, speed, and
burst that point to a breakthrough year, but needs to avoid the injury
bug that's followed him in the early stages of his career.
Challenging for the other opening is 5-9, 185-pound sophomore
Devon Brown, a slippery open
field runner, who is drawing comparisons to former do-everything Deacon
Kenneth Moore. After catching 10 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown in
his first season, he's had the type of table-setting offseason that
could lead to a feature role in the passing game.When finally
allowed to emerge from the shadows of older players, senior TE
Ben Wooster enjoyed a solid
debut as a starter, finishing third on the team with 24 receptions for
211 yards and three touchdowns. At 6-5 and 235 pounds, he's built more
like a rangy receiver than an in-line blocker, yet isn't going to shy
away from contact. He's also the model student-athlete, excelling in
pre-med studies and taking on more of a leadership role on the offense.
Projected Top Reserves: Of all the young players to
turn heads in the spring, few were more impressive than 6-0, 195-pound
redshirt freshman Chris Givens.
Arguably the fastest player on the squad, he was consistently able to
get behind the secondary and make plays. If that speed translates into
connections in the fall, Wake Forest will have its first field-stretcher
in some time.Junior
Jordan Williams was supposed to make a name for himself last fall
and even challenge for a starting job. Neither happened. In fact, he
made eight quiet appearances and caught just a single pass for three
yards. The potential still exists, however, for the 6-3, 200-pounder to
approach some of the expectations he created with an impressive true
freshman debut.The heir apparent at tight end is 6-5, 225-pound
sophomore Andrew Parker, that rare Demon Deacon to play as a true freshman. He
elevated to second-string just before the start of the season, and
actually started three games when Wooster was shelved, catching seven
passes for 106 yards. A smooth pass-catcher with a long stride, his
value will increase as he adds more bulk.Watch Out For
... this group to get better as the season progresses. The receivers
are young and a little inconsistent, but they have more upside and
athletic ability than their predecessors. It's going to take time and
plenty more reps before they genuinely develop some chemistry with
Strength: Speed. On a unit that's typically
dotted with plodders and possession receivers, these Deacons are
surprisingly fast and quick off the snap. There are quality athletes
everywhere, but can Skinner and the quarterbacks maximize all of their
natural assets? Weakness: Experience and consistency.
While Boldin wasn't otherworldly in his final year, he rarely dropped
passes and was a rock when Wake needed a first down. Until proven
otherwise, the Deacons don't a go-to guy to replace his production or
consistency. Outlook:
The future is bright. The present, however, is going to be uncertain.
While the program is in good shape at tight end, the young wide
receivers could take half a year before getting acclimated to expanded
roles. Skinner will help them along, but the big breakthrough probably
doesn't happen until 2010.
Rating: 6
Offensive Line
Projected Starters: No
group was more responsible for Wake Forest's mixed results in 2008 than
the offensive line, which was among the worst in the Jim Grobe era.
Little went right up front, but from that darkness comes a brighter day.
Literally everyone is back from the two-deep, including massive LT
Chris DeGeare, who sat out the entire season for academic reasons. A
6-4, 335-pound fortress of old gold and black, he's shifting outside
after starting 23 games at guard in 2006 and 2007. A dominating run
blocker, he's lost some weight and improved his mobility and flexibility
in an effort to wall off the league's quicker edge rushers.
Joining DeGeare on the left side will be 6-3, 290-pound senior
Barrett McMillin, who started
the first 10 games of last season at right guard before getting injured.
A versatile and heady veteran, he relies more on his feet and finesse
than the raw power needed to overwhelm his man. His leadership and
know-how are overlooked intangibles up front.One of the pleasant
surprises of 2008 was the play of 6-4, 295-pound junior
Russell Nenon, the team's
outstanding lineman of the year. After starting the first six games at
left guard, he seamlessly shifted inside to center, where he figures to
stay this fall. A physical force on running plays, he concluded his
first season as a starter with 84 knockdowns, good for second on the
team. The anchor on the right side of the line will be 6-4,
290-pound senior Joe Birdsong,
a 13-game starter at left tackle last season. A dependable veteran
throughout his career, he had some problems protecting the quarterback's
blindside in 2008, forcing the staff to move DeGeare into his old spot.
If he can make strides in pass protection, the entire passing game is
going to benefit.No one on the line has started more games than
6-3, 292-pound senior Jeff
Griffin, who's moving back to right guard after being out of place
at tackle last season. A physical, blue-collar run blocker, he's at his
best in small spaces and moving in north-south directions.
Projected Top Reserves: Senior
Trey Bailey was the starting center for the first six games of the
season before breaking his ankle and missing the remainder of the year.
Recruited to be the successor to Steve Justice, he's fundamentally-sound
and very smart, but is having a tough time unseating Nenon. At a
minimum, the 6-2, 290-pounder will bring a veteran presence to the B
team.It's just a matter of time before 6-3, 295-pound sophomore
Joe Looney has a starting job at guard and is one of the pillars of
the offensive line. A key recruit from the 2008 class, he already has a
year of experience in the vault, starting the final seven games last
year. He has room to grow, and now that there's more depth, a season to
do it behind McMillin and Griffin.When injuries struck the line
last fall, 6-8, 295-pound sophomore
Doug Weaver was one of the
young players thrust into the lineup before being quite ready. He
started the final two games, including the bowl win, gaining a
tremendous amount of experience along the way. He'll go back to learning
behind Birdsong and preparing for a promotion in 2010.
Watch Out For ... DeGeare's development at left tackle.
He holds the key that unlocks the potential of the entire line. If he
can make the transition, it allows other linemen to remain at their more
natural positions. If he can't deliver, this unit is capable of becoming
a house of cards.Strength:
Experience. In stark contrast to a year ago, Wake Forest is flush with
experienced veterans up front. Eight different players have started
games at some point in their careers, totaling 118 career starts among
them. A lack of relevant reps is no longer a problem with this unit.
Weakness: Execution. While there are seniors and returning
starters everywhere, these guys just didn't get it done last year. Sure,
DeGeare was AWOL, but that's excuse for finishing 92nd
nationally in rushing offense and 90th in sacks allowed. As a
group, they simply have to be much better in 2009.Outlook:
In a program that traditionally does a great job coaching up linemen,
last season was a glaring exception. The blockers just do their jobs,
getting abused on a weekly basis. Hope comes in the form of a slew of
returning players and a reshuffled line that better matches the talents
of its members. Wake will be improved in the trenches in 2009, but by
how much will dictate how far this program can go.Rating:

Marijuana bust
Re: your Jan. 5 article, "Smugglers' boat yields ton of pot":
Re: your Jan. 5 article, "Smugglers' boat yields ton of pot": How proud the National Guard and Homeland Security must be! Pretty soon, they'll have wiped out this dreaded scourge, and they can be photographed in front of a huge "Mission Accomplished" sign.
Actually, they probably just raised the price of marijuana five or six bucks an ounce, depending on how friendly one is with the seller. Don't let that stop our government from spending millions of dollars every year in a misguided effort to safeguard the morals of the young and placate the outrage of the foolish.

WARNER — The adage that says, "Close only counts in horseshoes," was so true for the Carl Albert State College baseball team in Tuesday night's road game against Connors State College.
The Vikings cut the deficit to a single run in the eighth inning of the nine-inning contest, only to see the Cowboys score three runs in the eighth to prevail 10-7.
The Vikings will play their final home doubleheader this season at 1 this afternoon at Ival Goodman Field against Redlands Community College before the two play another twinbill at 1 p.m. Saturday in El Reno.

Despite a dip in the number accidents caused by speeding, it continues to be the topmost cause for major accidents in the city this year. Moreover, the traffic police are having a hard time controlling the menace without the sophisticated technology needed to nail the offenders.
As many as 1,618 speeding cases were registered between January and July, with fines worth Rs 2.82 lakh collected from the offenders. Last year, however, the number of cases during the same time period was much higher at 2,862. All in all, the city has recorded about 11,650 accident cases this year, of which 300 were fatal.
According to the traffic police, one of the main causes for speeding is that a number of new freeways and flyovers have come up in the city. With large stretches of empty road, motorists feel the need to speed. Despite installation of speed limit signs, speed breakers and rumblers, the traffic police find it extremely challenging to nab offenders because they do not possess the required technology.
Though CCTV cameras and speed gun (a device used to measure the speed of moving objects) drives have helped the department catch some reckless drivers, the technology is still in a nascent stage. According to B K Upadhyay, joint commissioner of police, traffic, they have 30 speed guns. "We have speed gun drives every week. We catch more than 100 offenders per run. But operating one speed gun requires 4 to 6 police personnel and it is tedious to do it every day. Most speedsters are caught on highways, the eastern expressway, the sea link, Carter road, Worli sea face and Mahim causeway," he said.
Officials also feel that catching a reckless driver puts the lives of both the motorist and the cop at risk. In areas where the speed limit is 50 kmph, motorists drive at 100 to 120 kmph. "The need of the hour is designing and installation of high-end enforcement cameras, which are different from the CCTVs," said Upadhyay.
The department wants at least 250 to 300 such cameras installed. They will be connected to a central server which will receive live feed, following which offenders will be sent computerised challans. "We have sent a proposal to the government to approve the installation these cameras and provide more speed guns," said a traffic official, adding that this would also help them identify repeat offenders.
Fine imposed for speeding – Rs 200
Cases of speeding in 2014 (till July) – 1,618
Fine collected – Rs 2.8 lakh
Cases of speeding in 2013 (till July) – 2,862, (entire year) – 3,635
Fine collected – Rs 6.5 lakh
