Public hearing Tuesday on Omaha's 2015 budget
A public hearing on Omaha's proposed 2015 budget is Tuesday evening.
Mayor Jean Stothert presented the 2015 budget last month. The $852 million budget contains a 2 percent property tax decrease. The budget projects increases in sales and restaurant tax revenue next year. Property tax revenue is expected to remain nearly flat.
The budget includes 21 new police officers. It budgets for wage increases and pension obligations. The fire department's budget is up 1.4 percent, and the police department's budget up 1 percent, in 2015.
The public hearing begins at 7 pm at City Hall. The Omaha City Council is scheduled to vote on the 2015 budget August 26th.

Just downloaded and played the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo on my PS3.
Pre-ordered :P
Anyone with a PS3 or XBOX: If you don't want to be out 60 bucks, don't download the demo.
In PC news, gonna go give Strike Suit Zero a shot. Got it cheap from GMG and regardless of what reviews are saying, the gameplay previews I saw looked entertaining enough. Nothing amazing, but a nice diversion in a genre that is mostly dead.

Marlins have had "internal discussions" about a trade for Rays' Sean Rodriguez
Dec 7, 2013, 5:32 PM EDT
According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, the Marlins have had "internal discussions" about a trade for Rays utility man Sean Rodriguez. The plan would be to play him at third base, possibly as part of a platoon.
The Marlins are reportedly close to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with Garrett Jones, which likely signals that Logan Morrison will be traded. The Rays are one of many teams who have expressed interest, so Frisaro speculates that a swap of Morrison for Rodriguez and a pitcher could get it done.
Rodriguez posted a mediocre .246/.320/.385 batting line to go along with five home runs and 23 RBI over 222 plate appearances this past season, but he has proven useful against southpaws during his career and provides versatility. He'll turn 29 in April and is slated to hit free agency after the 2015 season. The Marlins have top prospect Colin Moran on the way, so Rodriguez would mostly be a stopgap option.

Please make this trade Freidman.. Add in a bag of balls to get rid of Srod
- steve7921 - Dec 7, 2013 at 6:23 PM
I would throw in Molina and pay Molina's salary…just take S-Rod, pretty please!!
- flpunx - Dec 7, 2013 at 8:58 PM
Great move for all parties involved. S-Rod gets to play in front of friends and family every night and the Rays can free up a bench spot for a more consistent bat and glove. This is a win-win-win. Hope it happens.
- Old Gator - Dec 7, 2013 at 11:11 PM
That's good that S-Rod's friends and family will be there every night. They can hang out with El Keed's friends and family. No one else is going to show up, so they should have the whole section to themselves.
- hittfamily - Dec 8, 2013 at 1:29 AM
I can remember looking at Detroit's SBnation blog after the Fister deal went down. A Nats fan was there trolling, without knowing he was trolling. He kept saying things like "Lombardozzi played just as hard as Bryce Harper", and "Lombardozzi's dad was a great player from Maryland, so I'm really going to miss him". The Tigers fans reacted as once might expect, telling this guy what he could do to himself, because a top 20 SP was traded for a utility player with -.4 career WAR and 2 minor league relievers.
I kind of think Friedman is using this reasoning to sell SeanRod for LoMo to Loria. "He plays just as hard as Longoria", and "His Dad used to coach for the Hurricanes".
- bizzmoneyb - Dec 8, 2013 at 11:24 AM
another player with extremely meager numbers. He should fit In perfectly.
- spc7ray - Dec 9, 2013 at 12:11 PM
The Marlins need to make a real move–Trade Stanton to the Dodgers for Eithier and Crawford and a good pitching prospect–The Dodgers pay all but 10 million of those salaries—3 players for about 3.3 million each and good players also–good deal for both teams

Robert Jackson, 87, pioneered development in Cabo San Lucas
Mr. Jackson enjoyed flying and owning thoroughbred racehorses, but nothing held a candle to a game of golf. Every Saturday for the past 20 years, he could be found on a country club course with the same tightknit group of friends, all several years his junior.
"Bob was a big part of the glue that kept our foursome together. He was just so entertaining," Wilson said. He once told his partners he didn't like playing with golfers his own age.
" 'Those guys depress me because they are so old,' " Wilson recounted Mr. Jackson saying. " 'You guys are so young and you are keeping me young.'
"Bob was at an age that was not far from our fathers, but he was a young-at-heart guy."
Mr. Jackson was predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Barbara King Jackson, in 2007. He is survived by daughters Katie Withers of Irvine and Julie Jackson of Kew Gardens, N.Y.; a son, Robert Jackson Jr. of Pasadena; three grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and his faithful dog, Otto.
A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. Oct. 5 in Del Mar. Interested guests may call (323) 744-1485 for more information.

World's Best Father: Photographer Pokes Fun at Distracted Dads
Dave Engledow tells Shine that the first picture he snapped in his "World's Best Father" series featuring his daughter, Alice Bee, was supposed to be a single shot. "When Alice was about eight weeks old, I wanted to portray what I felt like at the time: a clueless, sleep-deprived dad." He posted the image on Facebook and received such a positive response he decided to create a series of images that parodied the distracted narcissism that characterizes some parents today. "I wanted to appeal to my friends who are parents, but also make something funny for people without kids who are sick of seeing baby photos." He combines multiple images and uses digital retouching to create the humorously perilous scenarios.
He now has more than 50 images, all of which feature a kitschy "Worlds Best Father" mug--something he says he bought "on a whim." A couple of weeks ago, he launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to self-publish a calendar of the best pictures. He says he would love to create as many as possible with his daughter, who is now 21 months old. "I have ideas for shots when she is a teenager, but I've always said I don't want to be one of those fathers who pushes my kid do something she doesn't want to," he pauses. "Except for eating vegetables."
Engledow's wife, Jen, is a lieutenant colonel in the Army. Until three months ago, when she was deployed to Seoul, she helped set up every shot and made sure Alice was safe and happy. Her assignment won't be done until June. Now friends pitch in, and dad and mom work on the images together over the Internet. Engledow acknowledges his life is pretty busy these days (we caught up with him while he was driving to his day job), and he only has time to do photography on the weekends. Maybe he is the World's Best Father.

Quick work by the Lewis County, Ky., Sheriff's Office has resulted in an arrest of a man who will face first-degree murder charges. John Garcia, 23, will be arraigned Tuesday morning in the death of David Reed, 46.
Lewis County Sheriff Johnny Bivens said around 12:23 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to 265 Meadowbrook Drive to investigate reports that an individual had been murdered. When officers arrived on the scene, they said they located the victim inside the residence. Bivens said Reed had been stabbed multiple times and war pronounced dead by Lewis County Coroner Tony Gaydos.
Officers located Garcia near the scene and he was taken into custody without incident.
"We were there in just a couple of minutes. He remained in the area and basically he didn't try to flee," Bivens told the Daily Times. "Obviously he was saying he had no choice but to do what he did."
According to Bivens, the preliminary investigation revealed that Garcia and Reed were acquaintances and Garcia was visiting at the residence. It was during that time, Bivens said, an altercation occurred between the two men, and that led to the fatal stabbing of Reed. He said officers located and recovered the weapon at the scene.
"At this time we are not releasing any motive in regards to the murder and are continuing to collect additional evidence to support the case," Bivens said. "He (Garcia) will be arraigned here in Lewis District Court tomorrow (Tuesday) and then I anticipate that it will be set for the following Tuesday (Feb. 11) for a preliminary hearing to decide if there is probable cause to bound it over to a grand jury."
Garcia is lodged in the Lewis County Detention Center.

Arla Skyr "the messenger" by Wieden & Kennedy London
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy London
Rating: 5.0
By Claire Beale, editor, Campaign, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 19 March 2010 12:00AM
But the figures within these pages tell a story that will colour the business for years to come, no matter how far and how fast we now pull away from recession. Savage job cuts, brutal working regimes imposed by inadequate resource, desperate promises to win business: all these will affect agencies' corporate health beyond the span of the downturn.
But before we can think ahead, some comments on this year's report. First, our scoring system is based on how an agency has performed against its own/our/the industry's expectations of it. So if a brilliant agency (say, Fallon) has a disappointing year (which it did), it will be marked lower than an agency such as Karmarama, which has never (and may never) hit the Fallon heights but which made some real leaps forward.
I make this point about agencies being scored on their own terms every year but it's worth saying again because, every year, I still get irate calls asking: "How can you give xyz crap agency a higher score than us when we're one of the best in town?" And, anyway, it would, of course, be impossible to score an Ogilvy against a Naked or a MediaCom against an Elvis.
It's also worth saying that the Nielsen billings figures in this report include, for the first time, measurable digital billings, though in truth, these make very little difference to most big agencies' tallies.
Whatever your view of how we survived 2009, I'm determined to end this introduction on a positive note. So: the pain of last year forced some tough decisions (job losses, salary cuts, functional reorganisations), but those challenges have left many agencies with a clearer sense of purpose and a leaner machine with which to effect it. Good luck for 2010.Claire Beale, editor, Campaign

Family-Friendly Harvest and Autumn Getaways
If your kids are young, you may not think about visiting a college campus. But many campuses have football teams, botanical gardens, marine labs and other fun things for kids to see. California has several kid-friendly college towns sure to wow all family members. A road trip from Santa Barbara to Berkeley is a fun way to explore the state's central and northern regions.
Speaking of California, who says the golden state doesn't have four seasons? They may be mild but they do exist. Fall is an excellent time to explore orchards in southern California.
Cool crisp air and red, gold and yellow leaves draped from trees just beckon for a road trip. Now's a perfect time to pack up the car and hit the road in search of good deals, farm fresh food and a visit to an orchard. Show kids where apple juice and cider come from. A visit to an apple farm where your family can pick fruit and press cider is so much fun it won't seem educational. But it is.
And here's another place for good, old-fashioned cider. Michigan's Dexter Cider Mill makes cider the same way it was made 120 years ago – by pressing the apples with an oak rack.
People like to visit Door County in Wisconsin to experience the peninsula's four
seasons. Autumn brings cooler temperatures, and leaves change from green to
amber and golden hues. Farmers markets offer a bounty of pumpkins, apples and
other goods from local orchards. Los Angeles TravelingMom fell in love with
Door County on a recent visit to this Wisconsin region, named among America's prettiest
small towns.
While fall road trips are ideal for enjoying colorful foliage, TravelingMom with Teens found a bounty of other attractions that appeal to kids of all ages. To spice it up, two of her four recommended destinations offer alternative modes of transportation—bikes, boats and trains.
From Octoberfest to a Fall Foliage Festival, New Hampshire offers a cornucopia of free autumn events. Vegetarian TravelingMom plucked a few of her favorite places to share here.

As an avid Smartwool fanboy I was reluctant to give these socks a try. It was a deal changer! I am now in the process of switching out all my Smartwools to Icebreaker socks. After receiving these as a gift I find myself doing more laundry just to wear these. They are perfect for hiking/camping, disc golf, general travel and everyday use. Buying more right now to reduce the amount of laundry I have to do :)!

Listening to Eight to the Bar is a lot like driving along a time-warped highway precisely halfway between Count Basie's Kansas City and Fats Waller's Harlem, where the car radio picks up everything from Jackie Wilson to the Andrews Sisters. Their material, like their outlandish wardrobes and onstage choreo, is a colorful mix of forties jazz and swing, fifties jump blues, and their own swing-influenced tunes. With their female vocals, saxophone (their sax player, Collin Tilton is the original sax player who…

Jan 8, 2012Far funnier than I expected, and way better than the critics' reviews suggest. So many recycled rom-coms out there, nice to see something different. Timberlake makes a great nerd, and it doesn't hurt that Cameron Diaz is still smoking hot.
Jul 9, 2011Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is the World's Worst Teacher. Her goal in life is to mooch off a rich husband and her latest target is new guy Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), a vanilla nerdy virgin who has a fondness for huge breasts. Diaz, down-on-her-luck, living with a roommate, makes it her life's mission to turn her A-cups in double-D's and will find the money at all costs. It's aElizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is the World's Worst Teacher. Her goal in life is to mooch off a rich husband and her latest target is new guy Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), a vanilla nerdy virgin who has a fondness for huge breasts. Diaz, down-on-her-luck, living with a roommate, makes it her life's mission to turn her A-cups in double-D's and will find the money at all costs. It's a silly premise, which the filmmakers make no bones about; they're only interest is mining the situation to the audience's delight.
Elizabeth is textbook manipulative, and the script is balanced enough to enjoy her dishonesty every step of the way. She's a horrible teacher and person, but the few slaps on the wrist she gets for her behavior are more than enough. And when she's not getting a free pass, her character is tempered with just the right amount of ridicule. My memory may be fuzzy, but in Mary (as unsatisfying to me as Teacher was a pleasure), a type of comedy not dissimilar to her latest, I recall Diaz playing a more reactive role. It was essentially the boys Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon who drove the plot; she was more along for the ride with special gel in her hair to keep the wind from ruining it. Here, she's in the driver's seat. She is comfortable at the wheel and has her foot all the way down on the gas. In her element, she has never been better. She was born to the play this role. The trailer for Teacher set the curve for success high. And like the subsequent previews, the final result lives up to the promise. It's un-PC in all the right ways and doesn't pander to the audience. It has been a while since there has been a Hollywood comedy that has absolute respect for its audience and aware of exactly what it's doing. There aren't any shocking moments it builds to, there's just a heavy dose of acerbic wit consistent throughout the script cowritten by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (producer/writers for the American version of The Office). There's no fat to be seen, as the venture is premium grade-A steak. Yet, it also has some of the shrewdest editing in a comedy I have seen in a long while. After the ironically homely credits, the story bursts out of the gate and remains full force until the end, and director Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) keeps things clipping along completely conscious of its absurdity. It has too many jokes to tell; there is no time to dilly-dally. There are a few brief random moments that even work despite themselves. The supporting cast is stellar; they all stand and deliver. Timberlake is fine as the dippy liberal who isn't as progressive as he thinks he is. But the standouts are TV actors from such sitcoms as The Class, How I Met Your Mother and The Office. Lucy Punch's comic chops first came to my attention in Annette Being's period Being Julia. She joined The Class shortly thereafter, but since its premature cancellation, she hasn't had much to chew on other than taking over a role for Nicole Kidman and standing out in the subpar You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Here, as over-achieving Amy Squirrel, she plays the foil to Diaz, just as Diaz did to Julia Roberts in Wedding. Besides batting all of her lines out of the park, she improvisationally employs weird facial gestures, conducts a simple, yet stealthy monologue about math with an accent and squeezes into a men's urinal while discussing matters of import. Jason Siegel is downright adorable and makes a great partner for Diaz. Not really a spoiler, they're obviously going to end up together from the get-go and their banter doesn't make it hard to accept. However, the crown for best supporting player has to go to Phyllis Smith as Lynn, Diaz' sidekick. I don't watch The Office and I haven't seen her anywhere else to my knowledge, but it appears she doesn't have the ability to not be funny, whether it's with a look or her uniquely meek voice. The woman is a comic secret weapon and her chemistry with Diaz is phenomenal. With the CBS and NBC networks represented in this movie, ABC isn't left out either, but the actor's presence is such a surprise and so unrecognizable at first, I'm not going to spoil anything. You'll just have to figure it out. Additionally, there's another surprise actor (her name is in the opening credits) who has a small, but delightful role. If you're a fan like I am, my bet is that you'll kick your legs in the air and "love it." Read the rest of the review by googling Cinesnatch Bad Teacher.… Expand
Dec 5, 2011Simply awesome movie! Great actors, lifelike screenplay, I love they kept mature language it makes this movie more realistic. Very lifelike comedy, unlike "The Other Guys" which is also an awesome comedy.
Aug 23, 2011so I looked at the trailer for bad teacher, I said oh my god this movie will be perfect, funny, I was crazy to watch. so I went to the movies to watch, sad to say But I know with that empty feeling the movie accomplishes nothing and does nothing, take Justin and the area it says cameroz as a drugged and nn was so nice to nonsense, couples with no chemistry teacher no''bad''failed in your field!
Nov 17, 2011Bad Teacher is a hilarious film I've seen! Cameron Diaz plays a funny role so does Jason Segal. Pretty much everyone plays a funny role. Although it was 97 minutes long, it went by so fast. Bad Teacher reminded me a little bit of Bad Santa. This is not a bad film to watch. It's actually worth your time. So, yes I'd say recommend it.
Funniest scene: When she showed the classroom the scream films.
Nov 29, 2011We started watching this film with our 13yr old kid but I have to say with the language and the sex talk that goes off there is no way it should be rated a 12+ ...............................we turned it off and watched when the kids were in bed but even then it was not a good film.............................................such a dissapointment ......................
Jan 20, 2013This movie gets more and more annoying every time it comes on. Which is every day. The only reason I turn to it for less than a minute is to see Justin Timberlake.
May 4, 2015n save for a few solid laughs. I laughed, a LOT - far more than I expected to. With all of the cookie cutter schlock that has "something for everyone" box office appeal these days, my standards have become ridiculously low for comedies. This raised them right back up there, kinda like the original Hangover did. Cameron Diaz's Teacher is as fun as Billy Bob's Santa was. Hollywood should embrace the
May 4, 2015ore. You can tell all of her songs came from the heart. The only thing that I have to say is that I don't think "Run The World (Girls)" fits into the album AT ALL. Other than that, the album is flawle
May 4, 2015whtfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
It IS consistently funny. Its trash-can humor is tasteless, no doubt, but hey, that doesn't make it unpalatable.
Bad Teacher revels in being distasteful. But it can't just let a bad woman be bad; she also has to be burdened with physical insecurity, even if it makes no sense. Can you imagine if Billy Bob Thornton's character had become Bad Santa so he could steal to fund his penis implant?
From time to time, Bad Teacher gestures vaguely at the movie it could have been. Diaz slouches and snarls effectively through the early scenes. It isn't till we realize her redemption will be unsatisfying that the character starts to curdle.

Insurance Underwriter: Employment Info & Career Requirements
Learn what an insurance underwriter does. Find out the training and skills required, along with the salary and employment outlook, to see if this career might be the right one for you.
Career Definition
Insurance underwriters assess risk and write policies for insurance companies. Insurance underwriters use information supplied by people seeking insurance, computer applications and statistical tables to determine the insurance seeker's level of risk; they use this information to set premiums and deductibles. While there are many different types of insurance, most insurance underwriters work in life insurance, health insurance, mortgage insurance or casualty and property insurance.
How to Become an Insurance Underwriter
Required Education
People seeking a career in insurance underwriting should have at least a bachelor's degree, preferably in a field such as finance or business administration. Common courses in a 4-year bachelor's program that will help prepare you for a career in insurance underwriting include accounting, auditing principles, principles of macroeconomics, finance and statistics. Advancement within insurance underwriting requires ongoing education; there are several certifications and designations available, depending on your specialty within insurance underwriting.
Skills Required
Insurance underwriters need to have strong math and computer skills to excel at their jobs. They should be detail-oriented and well organized. They often process sensitive or private information and should be discreet, trustworthy and reliable. Because they serve as a vital source of information to insurance agents, they must also have strong interpersonal and communications skills.
Employment and Economic Outlook
The employment outlook for insurance underwriting is expected to be notably below average; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that employment in this field will decline by 6% from 2012-2022. The median annual earnings of an insurance underwriter in 2012 were $62,870.
Alternate Career Options
Actuaries usually have certifications and at least a bachelor's degree providing strong backgrounds in business, math and statistics. These professionals work mostly in the insurance industry, analyzing the financial costs of risks. The BLS reported annual median earnings of $93,680 for actuaries and predicted much faster than average employment growth of 26% from 2012-2022.
Cost Estimator
Much faster than average job growth of 26% was projected by the BLS for the 2012-2022 decade, for these estimators who analyze data pertaining to the expenses required to manufacture products or provide services. They usually have a bachelor's degree or extensive experience in construction with a strong math background. In 2012, the BLS revealed an annual median salary of $58,860 for cost estimators.

SessionStateStoreProviderBase.CreateUninitializedItem Method
Adds a new session-state item to the data store.
Namespace: System.Web.SessionState
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
public abstract void CreateUninitializedItem( HttpContext context, string id, int timeout )
- context
- Type: System.Web.HttpContext
The HttpContext for the current request.
- id
- Type: System.String
The SessionID for the current request.
- timeout
- Type: System.Int32
The session Timeout for the current request.
The CreateUninitializedItem method is used with sessions when the cookieless and regenerateExpiredSessionId attributes are both true. Having the regenerateExpiredSessionId attribute set to true causes the SessionStateModule object to generate a new SessionID value when an expired SessionID value is encountered.
The process of generating a new SessionID value requires redirecting the browser to a URL that contains the newly generated SessionID value. The CreateUninitializedItem method is called during the initial request that contains an expired SessionID value. After the SessionStateModule object acquires a new SessionID value to replace the expired value, it calls the CreateUninitializedItem method to add an uninitialized entry to the session-state data store. The browser is then redirected to the URL containing the newly generated SessionID value. The existence of the uninitialized entry in the session data store ensures that the redirected request that includes the newly generated SessionID value is not mistaken for a request for an expired session and is, instead, treated as a new session.
The uninitialized entry in the session data store is associated with the newly generated SessionID value and contains only default values, including an expiration date and time and a value that corresponds to the actionFlags parameter of the GetItem and GetItemExclusive methods. The uninitialized entry in the session-state store should include an actionFlags value equal to the InitializeItem enumeration value. This value is passed to the SessionStateModule object by the GetItem and GetItemExclusive methods, and informs the SessionStateModule object that the current session is a new but uninitialized session. The SessionStateModule object will then initialize the new session and raise the Session_OnStart event.
For more information about cookieless sessions, see the IsCookieless property.
For an example of a session-state store provider implementation, see Implementing a Session-State Store Provider.

At least I got a kick out of the guy.
Funny thing, a couple days after, another guy, short, loud, always spoutin off about politics and how Stowe residents are constantly getting screwed, came barreling toward me and said "Hey Rusty, I forgot to buy the New York paper today, let me borrow yours." I said no.

The Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort (commonly known as Fallsview Casino) in Niagara Falls, Ontario opened publicly on June 10, 2004. This $1 billion complex overlooks the Horseshoe Falls and is one of the most prominent features of the Niagara skyline. The site was once the transformer station building for the Ontario Power Company at the foot of Horseshoe Falls.

The east facade of the complex retains the walls of the terrace and front entrance of the transformer station built in 1904. The area where the transformers resided is now the Grand Hall convention halls.
At the main entrance is a water feature called 'The Teslatron'. During its first few years of functioning it featured nightly displays with added audio and lighting but over the past few years this has ceased. At street level there is a fountain that varies its height with the wind so as not to wet pedestrians and passing cars.
When players need to cash out their money from the Ticket-In, Ticket-Out slot machines, the player is given a bar-coded paper ticket.

'American Idol': Lauren Alaina Flies, Casey Abrams Kisses J.Lo
There's a common complaint lobbied by "American Idol" junkies over the years, and it goes something like this: why, oh why, must the contestants often perform songs that were hits when our grandparents were in high school? Or in other words, not exactly what's hot on Top 40 radio today, dog? While things have skewed decidedly younger this season -- has anyone counted how many times the word "swag" has been uttered by the judges and Ryan Seacrest? -- tonight "Idol" went the extra mile, devoting an entire show to proving that it knows what the kids are listening to these days.
And so, "Music from the 21st Century" night brought us a little Ne-Yo, Adele, Sara Evans, and even Muse. How'd the top seven fare as they conquered songs they're actually familiar with (one can only hope)? Let's go to the videotape.
1) Lauren Alaina
Song: Sara Evans, "Born to Fly"
Steven said: "Anybody who doesn't know that they can fail is bound to win, and you're that person. You're so good naturally."
Jennifer said: "You do have such a special voice -- it's not everybody who has so much color in their voice when they sing."
Randy said: "You can sing anything. You think you can't sing those big notes…Dude, you can do it. You must believe."
We say: I've been fretting all season long about Lauren Alaina's lack of confidence, and this subplot was finally addressed tonight when 17-year-old was granted a long overdue, yet expecation-filled closing "pimp" spot on the show. The good news is, all the encouragement (coercion, really) from Jimmy Iovine behind the scenes paid off! Lauren got one step closer to embracing her inner Top 40 diva, and as she shimmied onstage and even worked up the nerve to make eyes at the camera a bit, I realized that she could, potentially, work up the confidence she needs just in time to win this whole shebang. Watch your back, perennial frontrunner Scotty McCreery -- Lauren's hot on your trail.

An outspoken TriMet bus driver is facing criticism, after a passenger accused him of being too distracted to drive because he's busy making a video for his personal blog.
Al Margulies has been a TriMet bus driver for 14 years and in that time, he has a stellar safety record.
But one Trimet passenger says videos Margulies has placed on his own personal website and Youtube show that he is a distracted driver.
A man holding a camera is interviewing Margulies at the same time the TriMet driver is behind the wheel. The video shows Marguiles' responding and driving at the same time.
He appears in several videos where he's distracted. said TriMet pasenger Marcus Griffith. Bus drivers should be respected, but he is not one of them.
The complaint has led to a new policy change.Soon bus drivers won't be filming on-camera interviews. But there are two sides to this story.
Margulies says he's a fantastic bus driver and the camera is not an issue.
The entire time I'm on the TriMet bus, I am moving my head, looking around, I am seeing people cut me off. There is no distraction taking place. said Margulies.
He also defends working on his blog during company time.
I'm a professional driver and I love blogging. In order to capture the reality (of he driving a bus) you want to see it in real life.
Margulies says the critics are people who just hate his blog. He says he's sick and tired of TriMet drivers being trashed in the media and by the public.
TriMet allows its employees to have personal websites, as long as they clearly don't represent themselves as a spokesperson for the agency.
It's great you want to blog. But while you are operating we'd like you to focus on driving the bus. said TriMet spokespserson Mary Fetsch.

Wild Rice and Cranberry Risotto
Published January 31, 2013 | Written by The Healthline Editorial Team
Risotto is a classic Italian dish usually made with Arborio rice and flavored with lots of Parmesan cheese. We've used the same risotto making method but substituted wild rice. We eliminated the cheese and used dried cranberries instead, giving it a very autumn flavor.
|Nutrition Facts
|Serving size:
|Approximately 1 cup
|Calories per serving:
|Total Fat 6.7g
|Cholesterol 7mg
|Sodium 491mg
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried cranberries
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Step by Step:
- Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat and add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes or until translucent but not browned. Add garlic and rice and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until rice is fragrant.
- Add 1/2 cup stock, stirring constantly, and cook until almost all the liquid has been absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock, adding cranberries and rosemary with the last 1/2 cup of stock, and cook until rice is firm but tender, about 35 to 40 minutes total. Adjust seasoning with salt and serve immediately.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 303 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ashleyc17 My recent stay I stayed here for business, otherwise I think it would have been out of my price range. The men at the front desk were very friendly and professional, and my room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint it that I stayed in a room on the Mezzanine floor, which is right above the lobby where they play LOUD music until about 10 PM. It was the middle of the week, I don't see why that was necessary. Otherwise, great. August 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by gmj11 Upgrade This is the first time staying at this hotel and from the outside it isn't anything to call home about. We drove up and wanted to self park but they have about 20 spots and it was full. Of course with the number of self parking spots they made available it's convenient for the hotel to charge you $30+ dollars to now valet. The inside has been remodeled and is nice. The room that I upgraded to was a junior suite but the room was in the front of the hotel and the street noise was terrible. You couldn't open the doors and enjoy the balcony. Even on the weekend the traffic noise was bad. Not sure why they offer an upgrade and you accept and pay for it and they put you in a room like that. The room was also smoked in. The smell was still in the bathroom when we arrived. They brought an air cleaner and put it in the bathroom. You could still smell the smoke even after they removed it. Crazy! If you are cleaning the rooms daily wouldn't the maids have smelled someone smoking? They didn't offer to move us but only gave the option of the air cleaner. Not sure they want repeat customers at this hotel. I would have moved the customers to a new room. I wouldn't have offered an air cleaner for an obvious room with smoking issues. I should have demanded to be moved but then again what room would we have been moved to? August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ninibear21 Comfortable Stay The location of this hotel was great, and made walking Santa Monica quite easy. Also good access to highways for getting farther distances. My room was quite comfortable, and early check-in was accommodated. The only real negatives I experienced were the coffee maker in my room (wouldn't work properly to brew a cup), and that my room service tray was never removed from outside my door for the 2-night duration of my stay (I was a bit removed in a cabana room...maybe no one noticed it??). Food quality was good, though, and parking staff were helpful late at night when spots were no longer available (allowed me to park in a reserve spot for the night so I could conveniently leave early to catch my flight home). August 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CD04 lacked personal connection I looked this hotel for 5 days out of a 8 day vacation to the LA area. We were celebrating my daughter's graduation from high school and our 25th wedding anniversary! I specfically mentioned this as I made the reservation and was told this hotel has excellent recognition and service. I was disappointed that the staff did not provide any special service. I read other reviews and I am not sure what it takes to get an upgrade or over the top service. Disappointed with this property, lacked the connection with its guests. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FLVagabond Recent stay The mattresses need upgrading... both queen beds were very worn and uncomfortable. Also, each time you dialed "0" for hotel assistance, it took a long time for someone to answer. Location is excellent! August 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Spoiled50 Disappointed Stay Really disappointed! Staff unresponsive to Starwood members. But that comes from GM he was the same way. Cold food and rude employees in restaurants. I was not expecting this type of environment at a La Meridien. August 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by smitty11 No Power The day we arrived the power was out at the hotel. No advance notice of the power outage which the hotel new because the city turned it off. Basically paid for a night and could not use the facilities at the hotel until after 8:00 pm. Was disappointed that nothing was offered for the inconvenience except for a glass of sparkling wine. August 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JPJP2014 Mistreated I am writing to you today, to express my disappointment with my stay at the Le Meridien Delfina this past weekend. I arrived to check in at the hotel on August 02 at 14:30PM and was provided room number 324. Upon arrival to my room, I noticed that I was provided a different room than what I had booked. My reservation was suppose to be for a Suite room with the Outdoor whirlpool tub on the balcony. I noticed no such tub on the balcony. I called down to the front desk and spoke with the MOD. He told me that they were completely sold out and that the room I had booked, was not available, due to the previous guests had damaged it the day before. On any other day, I would not have minded so much, but given this was my WEDDING DAY, I told him that I would NOT settle for a downgraded room. Keep in mind, I was trying to prepare for my wedding ceremony which was 4 hours away. I waited for about 10 minutes and finally I received a call from the MOD and he reiterated that there was simply nothing he could do. I was extremely upset at this point, and went downstairs personally to talk with him. I explained that I also work in the industry and on any other day, I would not have minded so much, but it just didn't seem like he tried anything to rectify the situation. I also told him that it was not even 15:00PM, so most guests had not even checked in yet at this time, but he kept insisting that he could not open up any rooms. I told him to keep searching and after waiting for him patiently for about 10 minutes, and having no one come back out to update me, I went back upstairs to continue preparing for my wedding. After another 20 minutes, he finally called back up to the room and told me the most he could do was offer either connecting rooms, or a room with an ocean view. I was livid, but being that this was my wedding day, I did not want to let this ruin my special day. Finally I opted to take the connecting rooms, and was provided 820 and 822. Room 822 was not ready, due to cleaning, so I basically prepared in 1 room, smaller than the suite that was originally assigned (room 324). As I have mentioned multiple times, on any other day, I would not have minded…but given the fact that this was my wedding day, and also the fact that the MOD, upon my check-in did not even mention anything about the damaged room, but thought it would be fine just to assign me an alternative room without disclosing any information to me, just does not sit well with me. I had initially planned to return back to your property at a later date, perhaps on an anniversary, but given the treatment that was provided to me, I now have a sour taste in my mouth. August 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dbly42 The extra step When I checked in on Monday, I told the desk person I was expecting a package the next day. Guy says, "Ok, we'll be sure to send it to you when it arrives." What he DIDN'T do, was make any note of it in the system. Next day comes, I speak with the evening clerk asking about my package who says it hasn't arrived. The next morning (Wednesday), I call down asking again. Again, I hear no. After verifying the address and the arrival of the package online, I go to the lobby. I speak in person to a lady who again tells me nothing has arrived after looking halfheartedly. I tell her I have confirmed it is here. Find it. She checks again. Oh guess what! Here it is! Oh, well the writing was a little smudged so we couldn't tell. Well guess what? If you had written down that I was expecting a package maybe you could have put two and two together that it was mine, since special delivery, overnight packages don't just magically appear. The laziness of the staff almost led to me not receiving my driver's license which could have prevented my return flight home. Your hotel also has the slowest check-in process I've ever seen. August 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Neilav Work Confernce 8/4 - 8/6 My main point of feedback is for the management of the hotel. I believe the issues are systemic and due to poor training and lack of communication. I don't blame the staff at all. They were nice. I noticed several times while I was checking in an out that other guests were very angry and complaining of several items. I was never told where the elevators were when I check in, any details on internet, and as a platinum member wasn't told about any water/amenities. The ATM didn't work and the staff knew this was a problem based on their reaction of having the ATM phone number available. The power went out for most of the day and although we were warned we were told generators would work. The elevators took forever to work and people were very upset. August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Williepatoche T Swimming pool too small, breakfast does no exist nor restaurant. No facilities to reach beach August 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dusty24 Great Beach getaway This hotel had a 5 star service all the way from arrival, quality of room and hotel property. The staff made us very happy when they accomodated an early check in on a Sunday morning. This made it a pleasant day for us to go explore the beach, Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade which were all within walking distance. Would definitely return and wished we had booked more time there!!! August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kees1954 Excellent hotel with some issues to improve The hotel is excellent. Good rooms. Staff is very helpful and service oriented. Nice view from our room. An exception was our experience with breakfast at the Zest restaurant. Long waiting and poor service. Breakfast in the lobby was excellent. Another minor issue is the Parking based on first come first served.There are limited places. If it's full, the only option is valet parking for $32 a night. August 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pellets Ms. Great bed. Food and drinks overpriced. August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Vic21 This hotel needs some work. Although most of the employees were helpful, it only took a few to impact our visit. The maid appeared perturbed that she had to wait to clean our room although we explained that we were getting dressed for a wedding and would be out of the room shortly. The next day as we were checking out, one of the workers mentioned that the maids would be at our room soon. It felt as though we were being told to "hurry up" and get out of the room. We had to call for help to have our air conditioner adjusted the first night. Instead of it cooling the room as we wished, the temperature was increasing into the 90's. Luckily, it got fixed. Lastly, you might as well plan on paying for parking since the self-parking is full most of the time and we even got stuck in the self-parking area when cars were parked in in/out lanes. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by anneao Great Location, Needs improvement We are Platinum members and expect the best from Starwood. This is not a category 5 hotel. The bathrooms are small. Only two towels were provided per room. The "Balcony" only had room for one chair. The coffee machine was hard to use. The staff was wonderful and the location is convenient to everything. Mildly disappointed. We have stayed at many category 4 hotels that have better amenities. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Reggie Nice Stay but expected more For a Le Meridian property I was a little surprised at room quality. Nice decor but bathroom in particular seemed dated in need of molding touch ups, etc. Overall infrastructure seemed a bit dated and in need of touch ups. Besides that comfortable hotel in a good location with attentive staff. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by riffraff19 work work work stayed here for work but this would be a good hotel for tourists as well. walking distance to Santa Monica Pier and 3rd street Promenade. Also can get to other areas of LA pretty easily by highway or side roads. though I did have an issue with wakeup call and never received as scheduled August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CathyGroomMom A night to remember! We had our son's wedding reception at the hotel. Stayed the weekend here as well. Was a fabulous event. Staff was amazing. The concierge and bell men were nothing short of outstanding. They couldn't do enough for us and our guests. Attentive, courteous and professional. They are a true asset to your establishment. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gabo2010 E-mails The internet provider blocks sending e-mails from Outlook which makes users consume a lot of extra time sending e-mails from webmails. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PJ12 great staff The staff was wonderful and attentive. Housekeeping was fantastic. However, the rooms are small, the food was disappointing at best. Closets are tiny, not enough drawer space if you're staying more than a few days. Does not compare to other hotels in the neighborhood at similar price points. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SydneyChic Sleep... I would have slept better if I could have removed the duvet and just had a sheet or a light blanket. I found I got too hot during the night. Other than that the bed and pillows were comfortable. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by L852 Needed to get a massage after my stay the beds hurt I had to pay $70 to get a quality neck and shoulder massage after my 2 night stay because the beds and pillows were so unnatural and uncomfortable. I couldn't get on my 11 hour flight the next day without one. It was awful. Additionally, 3 of the 6 people in my group reported hip pain during the night from sleeping on their sides. I do not recommend staying here unless you have zero health concerns. Gym was surprisingly good. Pool was way smaller than images show; we canceled our cabana reservation when we saw it. Only gave us one caffeinated K-cup when our rooms had 3 guests each. Was told they would find the steamer for me to use one evening but they never got back to me. I'm an SPG loyalist so this was disappointing. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rook1 Great Santa Monica Hotel We had a great time at the Le Meridian in Santa Monica. Great location and proximity to all the westside features of Los Angeles. Terrific bartender too! July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KatieM Needs updating This hotel needs updating--it's run down. Also, more self-parking spaces need to be reserved for overnight guests. Returning to the hotel at 8 pm on Saturday night, I couldn't find a spot. I was told there was an event going on. The nearest parking is several blocks away--not good for someone wearing high heels. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam70 Oasis during Business It is important to business travelers to have a retreat after a hard day. This hotel was an oasis of stress relief at the end of brutal work days. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crickit Caring and Professional Staff The staff were always accommodating and were happy to make sure everything was perfect for you. Loved the comfortable beds and the special happy hour featured in the bar. Being a Starwood Guest we were treated exceptionally well at this hotel. This is by far our favorite Starwood Hotel. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AE80 Beautiful ocean views We only stayed at the hotel for one night, but were immediately upgraded to a junior suite on the Starwood level at check in. The room was gorgeous - a double balcony with a direct view of the ocean. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pdiddy Only complaint location. The decor is lovely in the lobby and the room. The staff was very responsive. For shopping and restaurants you have to walk 1/2 mile to a mile. The beach is 5 blocks away. My suggestion is the hotel have a car to take you to beach and restaurants within a 10 block area. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cristy48 Excellent Hotel The staff were very professional and friendly. The hotel was very nicely decorated. The food was excellent the rooms were nice and overall our experience was excellent. The location is great a few blocks from the beach, dining, shopping and everything that you need. I would recommend this hotel it was amazing. I can not say enough about how nice the staff were. Always welcoming and holding the door for us no matter what time it was. They were amazing!

A three-Judge Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justice Deepak Verma and Justice B.S. Chauhan set aside the High Court order after Mr. Puthenpurackal filed an affidavit explaining in detail his credentials and how he filed the petition.
In his fresh affidavit, Mr. Puthenpurackal said that all adverse observations made by the High Court were already inquired into by the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, which came to the conclusion that he had not acquired assets worth even one rupee during the relevant period and that all the allegations were false.
He pointed out that the CBI had filed the charge sheet in the sister Abhaya murder case on July 17, 2009 and the petitioner had been cited as a prosecution witness. In the light of these facts, he said the High Court's observations that he had no locus standi in the case were legally untenable. He wanted the High Court directions to be set aside. The Bench accepted the affidavit and set aside the impugned directions.
