Peer-Grading Passes the Supreme Court Test
Batista, Paul J., Pittman, Andrew T., JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance
Owasso ISD v. Falvo
United States Supreme Court
122 S. Ct. 934, 534 U.S. 426
February 19, 2002
It was a common practice in Oklahoma's Owasso Independent School District (ISD) to have students grade one another's daily assignments and announce their grades out loud to the rest of the class. When Kristja Falvo, the mother of three middle school students, learned that this was taking place, she complained about it to the counselors and the superintendent, claiming that this grading process embarrassed her children. Although she was told that the children had the option of confidentially reporting their grades to the teacher, she requested that the school district implement a policy that would prohibit peer-grading. The school district refused to adopt such a policy.
In October 1998, Falvo brought a class-actior lawsuit against the school district and certain administrators, alleging that the grading practice violated 14th Amendment privacy rights and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 1974). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants on both claims.
The Appeal
On appeal, Falvo asserted that the district court erroneously granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, again claiming that the grading practice violated both the 14th Amendment and FERPA. The appellate court affirmed the portion of the trial court's ruling on the 14th Amendment issue, holding that the students and parent had no legitimate expectation of privacy in the students' school work and test grades that would give rise to due-process protection. However, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the portion of the decision relating to FERPA, holding that students' grades were education records within the meaning of FERPA, and that the FERPA violation was actionable under civil rights laws. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
FERPA Provisions
Commonly known as the "Buckley Amendment," FERPA was passed by Congress in 1974 to control what Senator James Buckley referred to as "the growing evidence of the abuse of student records across the nation" (Buckley, 1975). The purpose of FERPA is "two-fold--to assure parents of students ... access to their education records and to protect such individuals' rights to privacy by omitting the transferability of their records without their consent" (Belanger v. Nashua School District, 1974).
The provisions of FERPA that are pertinent to the issue of releasing student records provide that "no funds shall be made available ... to an educational agency or institution which has a policy or practice of permitting the release of educational records ... of students without the written consent of their parents." "Educational agency or institution" is defined in FERPA as "any public or private agency or institution which is the recipient of funds under any applicable [educational] program." In addition, FERPA defines "education records" as "those records, files, documents, and other materials which (i) contain information directly related to a student; and (ii) are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution." The definition of "education records" contains an exception for "records of instructional, supervisory, and administrative personnel ... which are in the sole possession of the maker thereof and which are not accessible or revealed to any other person except a substitute."
The Supreme Court
The United States Supreme Court recognized that having students peer-grade tests, papers, and other assignments is a common practice in the schools. The court said that correcting a classmate's work can be as much a part of the assignment as taking the test itself. It is a way to teach material again in a new context, and it helps show students how to assist and respect fellow students. By explaining the answers to the class as the students correct the papers, the teacher not only reinforces the lesson, but also discovers whether the students understand the material and are ready to move to new material. …

19.03.05 - By JE: Bernard Hopkins 20 title defenses, including crushing wins over Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad, allows the 40-year-old champion the rightful claim that he is the current pound-for-pound champion. Hopkins is a fighter that a promoter would not seek out as part of a marketing scheme..
Although he is clearly very smart, and possesses far more business acumen than anyone credits him with, he does not possess the commercial charm of De La Hoya. He isn't a devastating puncher. He doesn't dance. He hasn't needed to climb off the canvas to eke out a victory. In short, he's no crowd-pleaser.
What he does, and does better than almost everyone, is win convincingly. And he does it with astonishing consistency. Not that anyone would have thought he would one day hold a title for 10 years --- especially after losing his very first fight. He also failed to impress in his first venture into a major fight when he dropped a decision to Roy Jones. It wasn't an embarrassing loss but he sure didn't look like the "Executioner."
Since that time he has accumulated title belts (more than anyone in boxing), money (his account continues to grow), and respect by simply being the best fighter in the game. Going into his title defense against Trinidad, he was actually the underdog. Trinidad, unbeaten at the time and himself considered a top pound-for-pound champion, was considered by many to be too young, too strong and too skilled for an aging Hopkins. As we all know now, Hopkins was dominant in the bout, stopping Trinidad convincingly.
His victory over De La Hoya was equally devastating. He followed his well-known and proven strategy of doing enough to win most of the rounds while defending cleverly. The left-hook to the body that took out De La Hoya was a shot by a skilled student of the game.
Bernards recent near-shutout of Howard Eastman, a worth contender, proved that he knows how to win and take away his opponents strengths.
Just as fellow 20 title defense champion Larry Holmes proved a couple of decades ago, it ultimately paid to be better than everyone else; it paid to fight only to win, not look good; and it paid to have absolute faith in his own abilities.
Young stallions wait in the wings just as they always do. Jermain Taylor, who has been given a deadline that is likely passed by the time you read this column, may be the fighter of the future. He, like all the others, have high hopes that father time will finally take its toll on the body of Bernard.
Germanys Felix Sturm has scored some recent wins and his loss to Oscar De La Hoya was instrumental in getting him notice --- many thought he won their bout. In truth, while it seems that any middleweight contender has a chance against an aging champion, I think Sturm does not have the power to dictate any part of the action against Hopkins. He has a good jab and a very useful dose of confidence. It won't be enough.
Super-middleweight champion Jeff Lacy, himself an exciting prospect for the pound-for-pound ranks, has issued a challenge and is to be commended for wanting to go to the mountain. He, unlike fellow super middleweight Joe Calzaghe, is not bogged down by promotion problems and the WBO.
Obviously the torch will be passed at some point. In any case, Bernard Hopkins has earned our admiration. Long may the king live.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Combing the world for great investment themes can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Also, there are usually a ton of variables to digest.
There's nothing like the present moment realities to help us narrow down the choices. (However, if you learn of a very reliable financial clairvoyant -- now there's a new meaning for "FC," which usually stands for "financial consultant" -- please forward me the name and track record.)
Consider these facts, as of Friday:
Precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum and palladium, have staged an impressive rally off the 2013 lows. This has helped the miners and producing companies.
Oil is around $107 a barrel for West Texas Intermediate and over $110 for Brent International.
The central banks of the U.S., Japan, Europe, Brazil, Australia and even China have created "safety nets" under their economies with ongoing monetary easing and record low interest rates.
Australia's central bank reduced its key interest rate (similar to the U.S.
Federal Reserve's Fund Rate) to a record low 2.5% on Aug. 6. This was the eighth move in an easing cycle that began back in November 2011 and lowers interest rates below levels seen during the global financial crisis.
These four facts are some of the most important reasons why I'm anticipating a rebound later this year in the Australian economy. The most powerful of the above facts is the fourth one.The perception earlier this year that Australia's lucrative mining and natural resource industries had peaked motivated the Royal Bank of Australia (RBA) to aggressively cut its key interest rate. Another quarter point reduction to 2.25% is expected before the end of the year. This has caused the Australian dollar to fall over 15% this year and after the last interest rate cut it traded at less than 90 cents U.S., which was a three-year low against the U.S. dollar. That's part of the good news about this investment theme. A lower Aussie dollar makes exports more competitive, which, in turn, lifts profits for miners who price their products in U.S. dollars. It brings a sigh of relief to one of Australia's biggest companies, BHP Billiton (BHP). As the one-year chart below illustrates, the price of BHP shares fell hard but appear to be staging a rally. It also shows how the company's return on invested capital is a robust 32%. BHP data by YCharts
Analysts have estimated that for every U.S. penny the Aussie dollar falls, it adds around $100 million Australian dollars to BHP's bottom line. The central bank knows this and is signaling more easing ahead. "The Board has previously noted that the inflation outlook could provide some scope to ease policy further, should that be required to support demand," RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said after the last rate cut.

From the article: When is the Honeymoon Stage in a Relationship?
How can you tell when the honeymoon is over? What are the signs? And is there anything you can do to keep the honeymoon stage from ending too soon? Add your advice and insights.

- —Guest winnie
Kim K AND THE K KLAN
- —Guest Roger M of Cambridge
pitty petty
- i don't think it's over until both agree it's over. The little things can make or break a relationship but don't get stuck on the period.
- —Guest dlh
- I don't know when it is over. My wife and myself have only been married for 29 years.
- —Guest VicW
Keep the sizzle and not the fizzle
- We've been married almost 31 years and there is still the fizzle. We have date nights, we hold hands, always say, "I love you" several times a day and the sex just gets better. We do little things for each other, etc. Is you feel it's fizzling, do something to put the sizzle back into the marriage. :)
- —Guest Donna N.
Honeymoon is over...
- when he ignores your birthday and does not care that he hurt you.
- —Guest Sally
When excuses are always at hand
- The honeymoon is over when there is always an excuse why lovemaking is not a priority anymore and when more than a month has gone by with hearing those excuses.
- —Guest no one
Honeymoon was never there at all
- We did have one honeymoon in Hawaii. I loved that jerk. It is over, thank god!!!
- —Guest cyndi thornton
It's over when
- he buys you cleaning supplies for a Christmas present.
- —Guest Mary B.
- The honeymoon is over when he calls home to his Mother to see "how she is."

The honeymoon is over when...
- The honeymoon is over when you're not thinking about him every waking minute and texting every second.
- —Guest Sea J
Too Bad
- When sleep takes priority over sex, laundry over cuddle time, grocery shopping over hand holding...when romance is reserved for your birthday.
- —Guest justme76
Never...for some of us
- I don't know about anyone else. But I experienced all of those things during my first marriage. Now that I'm on my second I have to say, we have two toddlers and they don't shake things up for us. We still "go to bed" together every night and we are always doing little things. He keeps me alive and I would say I do the same for him. So if you're asking when the honeymoon is over? I say never....
- —Guest Tina
- When it goes like this: "Pass the sugar, sugar. Pass the honey, honey." And ends with: "Pass the tea bag..."
- —Guest carol guest
The Honeymoon is Over
- The honeymoon is over when there is no more extreme love and caring, the way it used to be.

Water Draw Down Will Take Place GRDA Told
By AP
VINITA, Okla. (AP) — Federal regulators have turned down a request to keep the water level up at Grand Lake through the Labor Day holiday. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission told the Grand River Dam Authority that a three-foot drawdown scheduled for August will go on as planned. The Tulsa World reports that landowners and businesses wanted the lake level to stay up through Labor Day weekend so more people can use the lake. Grand River Dam Authority CEO Dan Sullivan told the Tulsa World that a similar request was approved last year and he'd hoped the same would happen this year.

Haswell iMac could be worth the wait?
There's a couple of reasons why it could make sense to wait on the next iMac refresh. Notwithstanding the most obvious reason of the current iMac being a radical 1st iteration, there are some economic reasons too, coupled with the usual technology curve arguments.
1. Haswell should feature some decent performance improvements, much better integrated graphics performance, and vastly improved thermals. The last point is crucial when you consider how little real estate the new iMac has for its internals. It should also lead to lower overall case temperatures, which should in-turn lead to higher longevity for other components.
2. SSD prices should continue their free fall, and we could see more affordable SSD options at higher capacities.
3. Next-gen discrete graphics could have reduced thermal envelopes in their mobile variants which could make them a realistic possibility in the 21" iMac. The added performance from next-gen mobile graphics chips is obviously welcome.
4. There could be a Retina display, but I find it highly unlikely:
a) Because the technology would just not be mature enough by next year to be able to meet the volume shipments that Apple would require.
b) Assuming they get enough shipments, the graphics performance on the EVEN the 21" iMac, with Haswell integrated graphics would be dismal. A Retina 27" iMac is absolutely ludicrous at this point, so Apple would have an SKU (the 21" iMac), that would incongruously cannibalize sales of a higher priced SKU because of the Retina display.
c) Given the viewing distances with the iMac, a shift to a Retina display would not be the same order of magnitude change as it was on mobile devices.
So I'm definitely waiting.
Just my 0.02c.
|Dec 25, 2012, 11:15 AM
I would wait for the iMac after that one. Because it might be a little faster and the overal graphics may be improved. LOL
If you need a iMac buy it if you dont then dont buy it.
|Dec 25, 2012, 11:24 AM
|Dec 25, 2012, 11:52 AM
Free fall in SSD prices? Not exactly, what if Apple only offer a slightly bigger 1024 gb SSD option next time, which will be just as outragiously priced as the 768gb option is now. Somebody should send some hatemail to Apple about this.
Personally I think the next major upgrade for the iMac will be in late 2014, especially for the 27''. Then we'll get a really big GPU upgrade, and maybe a retina screen.
I think people who order their iMacs now can sleep well at night. Sure, Haswell will give you some CPU speed increase, but the major upgrade will be for notebook and ultrabook CPUs. As far as heat output from desktop CPUs running at medium to full capacity, do we actually know that Haswell will noticably improve on Ivy Bridge in this area? I haven't been able to find anything about this.
If we look at the past, Intel tends to become very slack in their CPU development when they don't have any real competition (like now unfortunately), and I wouldn't be suprised if Haswell didn't turn out as good as early hype indicated.

Nothing new here... You could go back a year and replace "Haswell" with "Ivy Bridge" and have the same 4 points. You could probably even go forward a year and replace "Haswell" with "Broadwell" and still have valid points.
Looks like you are justifying to yourself waiting, nothing wrong with that.

considering how long this one took, could be a long wait.

If you're prepared to wait a year or more, then wait. If not, then buy.
They may come out in 4 months, they may come out in a year. Just know that if the shorter period doesn't come to fruition, you will have involved yourself in a waiting game that will pretty much psychologically force you to wait as long as it takes for them to come out. It's what happened with me, and it sucks. I would have bought the 2011 in March had I known I would wait until December.
|Dec 25, 2012, 02:05 PM
The lower TDP of Haswell should help the new iMac design. If the current low-end iMac used the IGP then I would have said that the new one would certainly be worth the wait but as it doesn't, its kind of moot. I would expect the new iMacs to come out soon after the release of the nVidia 700m-series GPUs or AMD 8000m series, depending on what Apple chooses. These should also provide some improvement in thermals but given that the nVidia series will be the same Kepler cores, I won't hold out much hope for big improvements in GPU performance. If you can wait, then you could always buy a 2012 refurb if the new machines don't come out by the time you really need one.

I just don't see where you've made a convincing argument in favor of waiting for a Haswell iMac. I'm glad I didn't.
|Dec 25, 2012, 04:57 PM
I would only wait for retina display. Everything else is an incremental upgrade.
I believe the redesign's purpose was to complement the introduction of the retina iMac but because of a lot of reasons the retina panels were unavailable at this time.
Apple could've shipped the iMac last June with the original enclosure if t weren't for retina. I am glad they didn't as it meant the inclusion of the 680mx gpu.
|Dec 25, 2012, 05:01 PM
You'll always lose playing the time game. Your always gonna get outdated. The only exception is when a new refresh is right around the corner.
This current model iMac should be around for at least 18 months. Like the last one. Put all your chips in now!

If a person can afford to wait, then why not. If a person cannot, then there is no discourse.

The Haswell iMacs will not offer much in terms of performance.
I imagine there will be a 1tb Flash option, probably still priced around $1000 (and hopefully other lower flash options as well).
The Fusion Drive MAY come standard across the line by then.
I don't believe there are any 6-Core processors coming, so no major increases there.
The GPU's will be slightly better, but nothing spectacular. Integrated means nothing to the iMac.
The only real variable is the possible Retina Display, but given Apple went to so much to push how amazing the current display is, I don't see it coming yet. Maybe 2014.
I've been toying with upgrading to the Ivy Bridge, but I don't see the major benefits yet. I am really more excited to see what the Mac Pro turns into this year finally. I may finally jump to that ship...we shall see.

I don't see the big deal about people wanting a Retina display iMac. Think about the price, MacBook Pros start at 1700 in Ireland, how much would a 21.5 inch cost?
|Dec 26, 2012, 08:54 AM
Haswell has nothing a desktop computer would be interested in. Even the thermals.. the die size is the same, I don't expect the thermal profile to be much different. The integrated graphics will sit there unused, unless Apple decides to skip the discrete GPU for the low end model. The performance upgrade is modest.
I don't think we have enough information on next gen discrete GPUs. The 2012 crop was a larger-than-usual bump over 2011, though, and I don't know whether or not we should expect another similar bump. And again, no die sizes should be changing for next year's crop. Everything I've seen so far suggests that the thermal profile of the 2012 iMacs is much cooler than the 2011's anyway, so you're not really getting much in terms of usable improvement.
Retina, if it comes, will be a stand-alone high priced model. I can't see it being standard until about 2015. The stand-alone model may not come until 2014.
SSD prices have essentially stabilized. I think the "free fall" is done. I expect Apple's prices for them next year to be roughly the same as this year. The possibility of Fusion as standard is intriguing, but that alone is hardly worth the wait.
If this were August 2013, yeah, I would say you should probably wait for the 2013 iMac, which I expect to see in September. (Prior to the long wait for the redesign, iMacs were refreshed roughly every 9 months.) Otherwise, there's really no compelling reason to wait. The design will be the same. A couple of knobs will be turned slightly, and that's about it.

"Haswell iMac could be worth the wait?"
I'm sure it will be... if you don't mind waiting until January 2014....

There wasn't a dry eye on the stage as Steve Harvey performed his final stand-up show ever.
Steve has been making us laugh for decades with stand-up specials like Still Trippin' and The Original Kings of Comedy, his radio show "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," and sitcoms like "The Steve Harvey Show." He stepped away from the mic for good on Thursday night in Las Vegas as part of the events for this year's Hoodie Awards.
After he finished his last stand-up routine, the emcee brought him back out to the stage for a few final words. When Steve opened his mouth to express his thanks and say goodbye, the comedian broke down.
"Thank y'all for making my dreams come true. You can't be famous without people. [I] really, really been dreading this moment, man, because I didn't know what to say," Steve said. "I just wanna say 'Thank You.' God has given me a life far beyond anything I ever dreamed about. God is something else, man."
Steve also gave a special shout-out to his wife, stating, "I want to thank Marjorie for skyrocketing my life. I wasn't doing good until you came along, girl. I 'sho thank you."
What Steve is most grateful for, though, is the opportunity to do what he feels God put him on Earth to do and be successful at it. "Twenty-seven years is a long time to do something that you love to do. Bishop Jakes—T.D. Jakes told me—heard him in a sermon one time say, 'I would hate to die and never do the thing I was born to do,'" Steve shared. "Man, God let me do it. He let me do it."
He continued sharing his testimony and being real about his failings as a Christian. "God has positioned me just this way to be just like I am, to say what I say how I say it. I'm just a living witness that you can be an imperfect soldier and still be in the army fighting for God Almighty.
Steve finished, "Don't you think you got to be perfect, 'cause I ain't. Thank y'all for 27 years. I love you. Thank you so much."

Letter to the Editor: Let's reduce teen driving deaths
CORPUS CHRISTI - Sharon Reddell Pierce, Texas Teen Safe Driving Coalition leader
Let's reduce teen driving deaths
As we remember the five teens killed on March 10 in the terrible crash near Dumas, we must renew our commitment to keeping teen drivers safe.
Teens crash at three times the rate of more experienced drivers. We must work harder to protect them, and strengthening our teen driving laws is a good first step. Texas' laws need to include a zero passenger limit that includes siblings, and must require teens to be off the roads before 10 p.m.
According to the License to Save report issued by The Allstate Foundation, Texas could save about 211 lives by strengthening its teen driving laws. That's potentially 211 families who will not lose loved ones in preventable crashes.
The Allstate Foundation and the National Safety Council established Teen Safe Driving Coalitions in 10 states, including Texas, to educate about why teens crash and how we can prevent them. Anyone interested is encouraged to join the coalition. Together, we can make a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GaryGS Return trip doesn't disappoint My family and I have just returned from a fantastic 5 night stay at Le Royal Meridien, which was our second visit this year. We arrived early morning and was checked in straight away, along with an upgrade to suite which was a fantastic surprise. The room was a decent size and everything in the room and the hotel was explained fully by the member of staff who showed us to our room. We weren't celebrating anything, but was pleasantly surprised to receive a belated birthday cake for my daughter which was sent to our room, and also lovely flowers which was a nice touch. The staff were always friendly and nothing was ever too much for them and they went out of their way to accommodate any requests that we had. The lower pool was clean and there was always enough loungers. A member of staff recognised us from our previous visit which was nice. The staff go around handing out ice buckets,cold towels and cold water sprays which is a bonus. The beach was partially closed due to ongoing beach erosion works, but this wasn't a major problem for us. As we were half board we used our daily allowance and ate in all the a la carte restaurants, except the new one which wasn't open. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants a bit of luxury and brilliant service. Thank you Le Royal Meridien for a great holiday . We will be returning! October 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MREJ Fantastic Staff I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions and without fail have always been impressed by the incredibly friendly, helpful and professional staff. October 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue6692 Amazing Hotel Just had our fourth stay at the hotel, it just gets better and better. ALL staff are excellent, but special mention to Christian and Shula in the club lounge, Ephraun at the infinity pool bar, Hussain and Pappu, sun beds/towels, Roy, who gets everywhere, and Eddy. We had yet another great meal at Maya, our favourite waiter is Juan. Geales is on the list for another meal next time, great food and atmosphere. Yet again we got spoilt with sparkling wine, chocolate strawberries and box of chocolates in our room on arrival, we can't fault this hotel at all and cannot wait for our next visit, it's like coming home, thank you all for another wonderful time. October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carlies Anniversary celebration The hotel couldn't do enough to make our stay special. Our silver wedding was kindly recognised with a room upgrade, flowers, choccies and drinks which far surpassed our expectations. The a la carte restaurants and bars are fantastic and have benefitted from recent modernisations. During the day the huge amount of land means you have lots of space if you need it to avoid feeling hemmed in. we had a great time here. Thanks team. October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anna66 EXCELLENT STAY IN ;) Very exciting experience, everything was perfect! The staff responsiveness was great , every person of the staff had a great and positive attention to customer. It's a perfect location to relax with many attentions very very appreciated. October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JLS14 Fantastic staff All the staff at Le Royal Meridien are incredibly good at customer service. From the first smile of the doorman as they open the car door, to every member of staff you come into contact with. Nothing is too much trouble. October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paulschoey350 Fantastic All Round Hotel This was our 4th visit since May 2013, and our 3rd visit in 2014 - say no more! Great hotel with very professional and courteous staff - always very polite and helpful. Food and beverages equally of the top order. Would recommend this hotel every day. Faultless. Will be back early next year. October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anni81 The best place for vacation in Dubai The hotel was perfectly clean, the staff was so responciible, the features, the food was very good, the room was without any comments. The only thing which hasn't been mentioned is that the more expensive rooms with sea view have direct view to a non stop reconstruction works and there is noise 24 hours a day. Same on the beach. My personal opition is that these rooms have to be with lower price and this has to be mentioned somewhere during reservation. October 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marie47 Customer Care WOW Cant praise this hotel enough.It was my first visit to this hotel after recommendation but my 5th visit to Dubai and I can honestly say my mum and I had the best experience. We celebrated my Mum's 70th birthday and they made her feel sooo special from room and half board upgrade with champagne and flowers on arrival.. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grabaneck The best staff in the world The staff at this hotel treat all guest as royalty they never stop smiling and the service is above excellant. The whole hotel, gardens, restaurants, rooms are so clean no litter anywhere. Service in the Brasserie without exception is more than you would wish for. I needed to use the Medical Centre for the first week of my holiday so much care from the Medical Team. The reason guest come back time after time is because no other hotel has the atmosphere of the Royal Meridien and Royal is the key word. October 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by auntyB Paradise for 2 weeks On our 3rd. visit to the LRM, it has certainly kept up its standards. From the welcome, to rooms, all the staff, without exception, were so friendly, and couldn't do enough for us. With having such a choice of restaurants to eat in (including the Grosvenor House HOtel,) the hardest decision was where to eat!! The beach will be excellent once the work has been finished, but it didn't bother us at all, as there is plenty of beach to go on. The facilities at Caracella Spa, and the Hamman pools, were a good way to relax after a hard day in perfect weather!!! October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JDHBRID Just gets BETTER ! Once again a fantastic stay ! Well done Pam,Mark & TEAM, How you keep rejuvenating the LRM is fantastic ! The food experience in all restaurants is superb, the addition to the selection with Geales and the soon to be Zengo's (we could only look) is fantastic ! We also went over to GH and tried Indigo & Rhodes W1 again both exceptional in the case of Indigo we all thought WOW what taste !!! We have NO bad words for our stay from Roy(pool towel boy) throughout the whole team to Roy(butler) they are all there helping to make a stay so pleasurable !!! WELL DONE TO ALL October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by IrishMaryAnn Excellent choice in Dubai spent a week at this hotel recently and I must say we were delighted with it. We had a Royal Club room, comfortable, spotless, spacious with great views out over the pools and beyond to the sea. Food and beverage choices were excellent. Buffet lunch had a great selection of Thai, Indian, European and Middle Eastern food, and everything tasted great. Cocktails and canapes in the evening in the Club Lounge were included in the Club room rate and were lovely. Service in the hotel was very impressive, everyone was so helpful and friendly. Thanks for the Roses and Bubbly in my room for my birthday! Yes, I will definitely be back. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ralston70 5 star hotel Just spent 10 days at Le Royal Meridien where the service and quality really 5 star.Superb choice of restaurants with excellent menus.Type of place you don't want to come home from. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessiejames Mrs Diane Beahan This is my second visit to Royal Meridien and I can't wait to go again. The food is excellent, the staff are very helpful. It is situated in a good spot not far from all local attractions. We spent our days relaxing by the pools and enjoyed lunch everyday at the hotel bars, no need to leave the hotel as all the eating facilities are excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all age groups. October 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tarries2014 Favourite Hotel ever My wife and I have recently returned to UK after our 7th visit to this excellent hotel ; this hotel and its staff are to be highly recommended for service, comfort,food,value for money,( the list is endless !) Just when you think things couldn't get better, they do ! The hotel and grounds have been kept immaculately since our first visit in 2001 and are a credit to Pam Wilby and her staff Keep up the good work- Starwood Hotels should be very proud of you all October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MCMills Staying on points The hotel is great and all the staff is very accommodating. If you happen to be using Starwood points to stay, and are a gold member, they say they upgrade you to the new section, the only problem is they gave us the worst room in the building. It was on the 1st floor right above the air conditioning exhaust which is very loud and makes it tough to sleep. Ask for a room and don't accept room 601. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacques77 Amazing experience From the minute I arrived with my family till the time we departed.....we were treated superbly..the staff was great....service was excellent.....it was our first stay but definitely not our last.As a lifetime platinum member I will rate this as one of the best hotels we have had the honor of staying in.....Thank you to everyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nikita11 Good hotel Very helpful and friendly personal October 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EileenandAlex8 Brilliant, as always Our third stay at Le Royal Meridien, and as always we were treated royally. Wonderful staff - from arriving in taxi, to super efficient reception (Ganesh in particular helped us a lot), great restaurant staff - the girls in particular were wonderfully welcoming - we used the Brasserie mostly for both breakfast and dinner and the food was superb. The beach guys who looked after our towels and beach chairs and brought us cold cloths and ice in buckets - particularly Dany, Rajesh and all the other guys. I have urged all our friends to come here and experience the great times we have had. I cannot speak too highly of Le Royal Meridien. We are looking forward to returning next year Alex and Eileen Ward October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MandM50 2nd stay and better than 1st What can we say, our second visit in four months and the hotel continues to exceed our expectations. From Zee who managed our booking expertly, to the pool guys, the restaurant teams and a big thanks to Ahmit who rectified a small issue in our room when we arrived quickly and never lost his smile. If you are looking for rest, relaxation and pampering then this is perfect for you. We are looking forward to returning next year. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Redparaman Excellent hotel. Great Hotel. Quality rooms and en suites. Great SPA. Breakfast was buffet hot and cold with good selection for all dietary requirements. Good outdoor space around pools and other restaurants. Room service was prompt and the food well priced. October 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jfg2003 Not a great stay I am almost lifetime platinum with Starwood, and I was underwhelmed by this property. It is older and tatty which is fine but not for the price that I paid. I had a room booked at a much higher end non-Starwood property and decided to stay here instead which I regret. • More of a vacation property; not a great business hotel. DJ at the property's club played late into the night two evenings making sleep difficult. • Invoice incorrect upon checkout; still waiting for a corrected version days later. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rebecca2014 Excellent stay in Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa Hotel My husband and I had stayed in Le Meridien Resort and Spa Dubai for 3 nights in early Sep and we've got a good memories during our stay! First of all, the hotel lobby is nice and the staffs are attentive. Our room is very comfortable with a wonderful seaview! We went to the concierge counter for local tour enquiry. The staff is very friendly and introduced the tour briefly. We did book the tour on the 2nd day of stay. On the 2nd day of our stay, we chose to have a lunch buffet in Brasserie restaurant. Surprisingly the buffet served wide range of cuisine such as Japanese food and even Chinese food, not to mention that the environment is very relaxing. We had a nice chat with your Main Chef in Brasserie. He is very nice and introduced the dishes to us. What a great service we never expected! Thanks for everything Le Royal Meridien did for us and we must recommend our relatives and friends to stay in this hotel when they come to Dubai. R & S Sep 2014 September 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Poppett Brilliant Hotel It was my first visit to Dubai and my first visit to Royal Meridian Hotel. I would certainly recommend my friends and family as it was a very enjoyable stay. Staff could not be more helpful and facilities were excellent. September 27, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by EDWAE64 Meridien September 2014 I have stayed at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa on many occasions , however when I booked my vacation this time I was not advised that the main pool was closed for refurbishment and at the same time the beach bar was also closed for refurbishment which was dissapointing as it spoilt an otherwise enjoyable stay once again at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jockss123 Our very best Hotel We continue to come back starting from 2002 so this must mean something? I during my travels with my wife all over the world and in particular the middle east we have to say that this is the most friendly and accommodating hotel we have visited The staff go out of their way at all times to make sure your time in the hotel is something to appreciate and to recommend to all our friends. We are looking forward to our next visit in 2025. September 12, 2014

Water Damage Local.com Urges Flood Damage Prep For Tropical Storm Emily's Landfall
Emily takes aim at the US Virgin Islands and Florida coast; Water Damage Local.com urges residents to prepare their homes for damaging winds, torrential rainfall, and flood damage.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 04, 2011
Water Damage Local.com, a nationwide provider of water removal and restoration providers, is keeping a watchful eye on the fifth named storm of the 2011 hurricane season, Tropical Storm Emily, and encouraging residents along the southeastern US coastline to be prepared for considerable wind and flood damage if she should strengthen into a hurricane and make landfall, as she is projected to do by this weekend.
Forecasters with the U.S. National Hurricane Center say Emily was last reported 425 kilometers southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, with sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour. Emily was moving west at 22 kilometers per hour.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The storm is expected to bring up to 15 centimeters of rain to those areas, which have already seen recent heavy rainfall.
Storm watches are in effect for Haiti and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In Florida, NASA officials are keeping an eye on the storm's progress, as they are prepping for the launch of an Atlas V rocket on a $1.1 billion mission to Jupiter. They have a launch window extending from 11:34AM until 12:43PM, and officials are hoping the storm's landfall will hold off long enough to allow the launch.
Emily is currently travelling north and west and could eventually have wind speeds in excess of 74 mph prompting severe weather warnings and watches in Florida.
According to the U.S. National Hurricane Centre, while there have been many tropical storms that have hit land along the Atlantic Seaboard of the U.S. in recent years, the last hurricane to hit the Sunshine State was Wilma in September 2005. Although its winds are not currently above 40 mph, it is feared Emily may grow into at least a Category 1 hurricane, when winds must hit at least 74 mph on the five-step Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
The new storm is about 350 miles south east of San Juan, Puerto Rico after it formed 50 miles south west of the island of Dominica and is expected to take a turn towards Florida over the next couple of days. According to the U.S. Hurricane Centre, it is heading west at 17 miles per hour and is spanning an area of about 70 miles.
Water Damage Local.com encourages residents in the path of this storm to be prepared to evacuate as soon as the order comes down. They recommend having a preplanned evacuation route, as well as a supply bag packed for each family member. These bags should contain clothes for several days, bottled water, non-perishable food items, medications, important documents and identification, cash (ATMs will not function if power is out), as well as a cell phone and battery powered radio (with extra batteries) to monitor rapidly changing weather conditions.
All utilities servicing the home or business should be shut off at the source, and if time permits, windows and doors should be shuttered and/or boarded up to protect against damage from high winds and flying debris. All outdoor furniture, plants, playground gear, etc, should be stored inside until the storm passes, as anything not nailed down can become an airborne missile in strong winds.
Residents are also advised to have the contact information for a qualified, professional, IICRC certified flood damage and water restoration company. The Water Damage Local.com blog offers complete updates on changing weather systems.

Ever since then all I think of when people use SIF, is "great, where the hell was Dan back in 2008 to tell me I named myself after an STD"! I can't change it now. I've been SIF since 2008!!! I like my name! Nobody had EVER pointed that out before and now that you did I can't forget it,
Thanks Mr. Smarty Pants! I forgive you because I respect your corny wit and awesome spreadsheets, but just always know that I can no longer look at my SN without thinking my poor bunny needs a course of strong antibiotics.

I hope you watched. The 100 meter butterfly. It was the first time Phelps was tested throughout these games...and ...he WON. No pesrson ever thought he would lose, but, WOW, that was close(.01 a second, that is the difference We are witnessing the best swimming, check that, ATHLETE in our spectrum of world competition.
Phelps is now tied for the record of "gold medals" won by an athelete in a single olympic appearance. It is 7.
Phelps has participated in 7 events, and
has won ...7 events. Phelps will lean on his fellow teammates to complete his quest for 8 gold medals. I say that Michael has done all that he could. I cannot imagine a better group...check THAT... FAMILY, to help bring back the gold for number "8". We have the gold medal winner at 100 meter backstroke to start this "route".
Bottom line: Phelps......8 UP........8 WON. spectacular. I hope you were watching.

ISIS & the Shia Revival
"We're ridding the world of polytheism, and spreading monotheism across the planet," an ISIS preacher recently said in a video recording. Behind him one could see the ISIS faithful using sledgehammers, bulldozers, and explosives to destroy the eighth-century-BC citadel of the Assyrian king Sargon II at Khorsabad, ten miles northwest of Mosul in northern Iraq, and the colossal statues of human-headed winged bulls that had guarded it.

Special Correspondent
KOCHI: Energy conservation is the key to energy security. The message has to be taken to the younger generation for successful implementation of the conservation programmes. The Ministry of Power, in association with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, has devised a programme to spread the message through a painting competition for children.
The competition is being organised at the school, State and national levels. The competition will be of two hour duration and students of standards four and five are eligible to participate. Best two paintings at the school-level should be sent to the nodal officer of the State. The Nodal Officer of the State is GSK Nair, NTPC Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Project, Alappuzha. The children can select any of the three themes allocated for schools. The themes are energy efficiency at home, school; save oil – keep future in control; 'bijli bachao – unnati lao'.
The State-level painting competition will be held on November 14. The first, second and third prize winners of each State and Union Territory will be invited to New Delhi to participate in the national level competition on December 12, 2008.
Sleeper class rail fare or State roadways bus fare for each participant and two guardians will be reimbursed. A participation certificate will also be given.

Meralco spends $7M on prepaid metering
popular .
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), the country's biggest power distributor, plans to spend some $7 million for the full rollout of its prepaid electricity metering system to 40,000 residential customers, an official said.
Alfredo S. Panlilio, senior vice president and head of customer retail services, said the $7 million includes the prepaid system and the analytic system integration. The system can service up to 100,000 households, he said.
Meralco has started the first phase of pilot tests that will run until midyear to ensure systems are working well.
"We gather all the experiences, what the customers want. We still have to apply to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for the business rules. Once approved, we'll officially launch the service," he said.
Initial tests covered 100 households in Rizal, to look into the viability of a prepaid retail electricity scheme in the residential sector.
The so-called "technical pilot" phase will eventually cover up to 200 households.
"For the commercial pilot, we're looking at around 2,000," he said.
These pilot tests are meant to demonstrate the viability of the prepaid platform, the prepaid meters and the various vending solutions that may be implemented.
Once proven feasible, Meralco will apply the prepaid electricity payment scheme on a wider scale, covering 40,000 of its over 5 million customers.
The prepaid retail electricity service, or PRES, is one of the innovations introduced by the ERC to give consumers more control over their power spending. Under the prepaid meter scheme, subscribers can monitor their electricity consumption in real time and their meter systems can alert them if and when the load is nearing zero to avoid automatic disconnection.

New Jersey Symphony OrchestraRead MoreIn 1922, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra performed its first concert at the Montclair Art Museum. They weren't called by that name yet, and they only had 19 string players at the time, but it was a show that established the orchestra as an important organ in the artistic community. It also might have been the last time the group was largely unknown. The ensemble quickly swelled in size, talent, and popularity as it racked up one significant achievement after another. In 1968, Henry Lewis joined the company to become the first African-American music director of a major symphony. The orchestra reached new heights under his leadership, taking the stage at Carnegie Hall and at the Garden State Arts Center with Luciano Pavarotti?a guest who joined the musicians again in 1984 to perform the first-ever classical program at the humble speakeasy known as Madison Square Garden. The group's illustrious career continued into the late '80s, as it performed live on PBS and played a concert of Bernstein works that won the admiration of the man himself. Today, the NJSO continues to confidently play into the 21st century. Under the current leadership of Music Director Jacques Lacombe, the ensemble shares seasons of classical, pops, and family programs, along with outdoor concerts, and educational projects. But the group has never forgotten its humble beginnings, maintaining a commitment to the community that caused The Wall Street Journal to call them ?a vital, artistically significant musical organization."60 Park PlNewark, NJ US
