Diamondhead Beach Resort
Hotel Guest Rating: 8.3/10
2000 Estero Boulevard
Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
Welcome to the Diamondhead Beach Resort
A Gulfside pool, in-house spa and stunning ocean views from every condo-like suite make the non-smoking DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa a favorite hotel among Priceline guests.
Hotel Features
Guests live like kings at the 12-story oceanfront DiamondHead, where each 700-square-foot suite has a separate bedroom, kitchen/dining area (with table and chairs) and living room (with queen-size sleeper sofa). Order room service, rent movies to watch on either of two cable TVs, use the high-speed internet access to get online or simply stare at the ocean from your private screened balcony. Outside, a pristine white beach awaits. Beach chairs, umbrellas and Wave Runners are available to rent. Nearby, the heated outdoor pool offers views of the Gulf. There are two hot tubs, an exercise center and business center in the house. Eats are easy: in addition to the beachside bar and grill, you'll find an upscale seafood restaurant and lively lounge on the property. For pampering, hit the full-service spa. Parking is available on site.
Hotel Location
The DiamondHead is a 10-minute walk from the vibrant entertainment district of Fort Myers Beach — far enough to be quiet yet close enough to be convenient.

We were very pleased with our stay at the Diamondhead. The rooms were amazing. We loved the suite. They had a well stocked kitchen-ette including a dishwasher, with detergents included.They really thought of everything that would make an extended stay comfortable. The close proximity to the beach was amazing. The pool was nice and warm. The staff was cheerful and helpful. The only negatives I can say about it are few but include this, the hallways were loud and echo-y, the lobby was not on the ground floor so it was a bit confusing where to check in, and the noise from surrounding lower quality hotels was a bit annoying. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay there again if the chance came along again. ...

Elite police force guards VRE from terrorist plots
Monday - 5/16/2011, 11:58am EDT
WASHINGTON -- Following news that Osama bin Laden planned to target trains, a local rail provider asked immediately for additional, elite police presence to beef up security.
The Virginia Railway Express does not have its own dedicated police force, instead employing local and federal law enforcement partners. The nine local jurisdictions which own the rail system have increased police patrols on trains, platforms and parking facilities.
"We have 130 undercover officers who ride everyday who are the eyes and ears of the system," says spokesperson Mark Roeber. Up to five or six undercover officers are on any given Virginia Railway Express trains, including members of the Visual Intermodal Prevention and Response team, who are armed and trained specially.
"It's one of their elite divisions," Roeber says of VIPR, a part of the Transportation Security Administration. "Much like a SWAT team but much more specialized training."
Where and when the team shows up is completely random, he says. The unpredictability makes VRE a harder target for terrorists to pin down.

Too many cooks: why is it taking so long to get real action on the Murray issue?
The Coorong, the river's estuary, is dying from lack of fresh water and all the sand washing in from the sea. Fish, birds and trees (particularly redgums) along the river's banks are dying from a lack of water.
Fish can't migrate along the river because of all the locks and weirs, and most can't breed because the modest floods they need don't happen often enough.
Wetlands and floodplains haven't had a drink in years. Salt is rising in the land and the water. Pests like carp are taking over. What water is left is polluted from eroded soil, farm chemicals and sewage.
The scientists say that if you take more than one-third of a river's natural flows then it's unlikely to be healthy. We're taking three quarters of the Murray's water. Almost all of that is used for farming, less than five per cent is used to supply towns and cities, including Adelaide.
State and Commonwealth governments and the Murray Darling Basin Commission have been thinking about how to fix the Murray for years now. So have any number of committees, bureaucrats, catchment managers, irrigation groups, Aboriginal groups, environment groups, scientists, fishers. Everyone. Lots of thinking ...
So why isn't it fixed yet? Is it just too hard to turn back the clock?
It's not easy to get water back to the Murray. And we are talking about quite a lot of water.
* Water is worth a lot of money for irrigated agriculture, and irrigators are very uneasy about how they might be affected. They're worried about their legal rights to the water that they believe is theirs.
* Irrigation communities also want to understand more about the scientific evidence, the social impacts, and the economic impacts before they will even consider real change.
* Governments--the Commonwealth and the states--are unsure about how, whether, or if to proceed, and about how to pay for/share the costs of acquiring water that the Murray needs.
* If we're going to get best value for this environmental water, we're going to have to manage a number of rivers (the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Goulburn and lower Darling) in sync. That won't be easy.
The state and Commonwealth ministers will decide later this year on the first step backing the return of at least some water to the Murray.
What we need is serious commitment from our governments. We need ordinary people to tell them that restoring the Murray to health by returning water to the environment is the right thing to do; and that we need a shared commitment by governments to find the money needed to help irrigators to adjust by doing more with less water.
Habitat will be running a special feature on the Murray River in the next issue. We will be outlining some of the main problems facing the river and what we think it will take to turn these problems around.

Putin, Schroeder give blessing to gas pipeline deal
By Louis Charbonneau
BERLIN, Sept 8 – The leaders of Russia and Germany gave
their blessing on Thursday to a gas pipeline deal that cements
Berlin's energy ties to Moscow but which Poland and others fear
leaves them vulnerable to the whims of the Kremlin.
The deal on the pipeline, which will ship Siberian gas from
Russia to Germany, bypassing Poland and the Baltic states, was
signed by Russian state gas monopoly Gazprom, German utility
E.ON and Wintershall, a unit of German chemical maker
Russian President Putin and German Chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder stressed the strategic importance of the project for
the further development of German-Russian relations in the
energy sector, the three firms said in a joint statement.
The deal, worth over 4 billion euros, was sealed in April
when Putin visited Schroeder in his home town of Hanover. It
was finalised by the two leaders on Thursday.
Gazprom will take a 51 percent stake in the partnership,
with the German companies each taking 24.5 percent.
Putin's visit comes 10 days before a German election which
Schroeder is expected to lose to conservative candidate Angela
Merkel, who grew up in the former communist East and speaks
Russian well, has criticised Schroeder for sacrificing ties
with eastern European neighbours by getting close to Moscow.
She has promised a more even-handed approach.
With oil prices at record highs, energy policy has become a
key issue in Schroeder's election campaign. On Wednesday,
Schroeder told the German parliament the Baltic pipeline would
help decrease Germany's dependence on oil.
Schroeder sought to calm Polish fears over the pipeline,
which could at a later stage be opened to third parties.
"This is not against anyone, not against Poland or the
Baltic states," he said.
Putin, too, tried to allay fears about the deal, which he
said was vital for Russia and Germany. He said Gazprom would be
unable to deliver an additional 60 billion cubic metres of gas
it has promised Germany and other west European states.
"It is impossible to transport this volume through the
existing network. We are not pushing anyone out of existing
business, but we are trying to avoid political, ecological,
climate and other risks and ultimately to bring down the price
of the product you buy from us," Putin said.
"We reserve the right to defend our interests," he said.
Despite Merkel's vow to repair ties with the United States,
Poland and other smaller European countries, analysts say
Germany's energy and economic needs will prevent her from
moving too far away from Putin.
Putin denied that his visit to Berlin was timed to give a
boost to Schroeder's election campaign, pointing out that he
was planning to meet Merkel as well after the news conference.
"You know I'm also planning to meet Mrs Merkel. Why don't
you think I support Mrs Merkel?" he said, smiling. The audience
of mostly journalists broke into laughter.
Designed in the early 1990s after the collapse of the
Soviet Union, the Baltic pipeline is meant to limit the
dependence of Gazprom, the world's top gas producer, on
neighbouring states like Ukraine and Belarus for transporting
gas to Europe.
The 1,200-km (720-mile) line will run from Russia's Baltic
Sea coast through international waters off Poland and the
Baltic States to make landfall at Greifswald on Germany's
coast. It is scheduled to be commissioned in 2010.
Although Schroeder and Putin tried to dispel Poland's
fears, gas industry experts say the Kremlin has been using
Gazprom as an economic weapon to put pressure on its ex-Soviet
Gazprom said on Wednesday it had told Georgia that it would
almost double gas prices amid strained relations between Moscow
and the former Soviet republic.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A casual but outdated resort in need of a fresh perspective
It is quickly apparent that this hotel is ideal for large groups, field trips, or families looking for a casual atmosphere (couples, look elsewhere). (For instance, near the main restaurant, the outdoor pool and garden area is a breeding ground for noisy kids.)
Upon closer inspection, the hotel reveals its age, though a few areas have been updated -- mainly the second pool area, bar, and water sports center. The beach area has lounge chairs, but it can be rocky and water shoes are recommended. At night, the restaurant and bar service can be slow, and the manager's rum punch party -- normally a moment for the staff to shine -- turns into an opportunity to give a long-winded speech asking for donations. The staff should instead be asking guests for suggestions so they can take the resort to the next level.
By far the best thing about the Amaryllis is the newer Chattel Plaza. The attractive Caribbean-motif setting next to the resort entrance has a coffee shop, salon, fitness center, decent restaurant, and wine bar.
On the southwest coast between Bridgetown and St. Lawrence Gap
The Amaryllis has a good location on the southwest coast of Barbados near the capital city of Bridgetown and the cruise terminal. St. Lawrence Gap, a hub of restaurants and nightlife, is a few miles in the other direction. The hotel is walking distance to Chattel Plaza for a coffee shop and wine bar. Taxis are readily available at the resort, and the economical bus that circles the island is easily accessible from the main entrance.
Rooms and suites are comfortable but need some major refurbishing
Rooms feature either garden or ocean views. Some ocean views are obstructed from the large fauna in front of the property. Furniture and appliances are outdated, but all rooms contain air-conditioning, balconies/patios, coffeemakers (coffee can be purchased from the convenience store), cable TV and comfortable mattresses. Most rooms come with tub/shower combos, but these desperately need updating. There are 12 wheelchair accessible rooms as well, a rarity in Barbados.
A convenience store for essentials, and free use of snorkeling equipment
Limited options on-site -- the best bet is Chattel Plaza's 39 Steps
The Almond Tree is the resort's main restaurant, located next to the beach. It serves a basic breakfast, as well as dinner daily. Dinner combines local and international flavors, and depending on the night, could be served buffet style or a la carte. The Sunset Bar is next to Almond Tree, serving cocktails, beer, and wine.
The Turtle Nest Beach Bar is located adjacent to the smaller outdoor pool and water sports center. The look is meant to replicate an authentic rum shop, and drinks and snacks are sold daily. Once a week they host a barbecue buffet for dinner.
Chattel Plaza has a coffee shop for pastries and espresso drinks, as well as a nice restaurant and wine bar, 39 Steps.
This family-friendly hotel near the capital of Bridgetown has seen better days -- though regulars like it for its reasonable prices, central location, and ability to accommodate large groups. Named after the flower, Amaryllis once had a decent reputation in Barbados, but today the resort seems to lack direction and just feels tired. All rooms and suites contain balconies/patios, and most are equipped with kitchenettes, but decor and furniture are worn, and some bathrooms need serious remodeling. The beach, though rocky, has a protected swimming area, thanks in part to the artificial reef that helps protect it from heavy surf. The Chattel Plaza, within steps of the property, offers some respite from the main building's limited offerings.

Maoists killed a Special Police Officer (SPO) in Malkangiri district and blew up rail track in Sundergarh district in Orissa on Tuesday during the second day of their 48-hour bandh call.
Their act continued to affect road traffic in naxal-infested remote areas of the State. According to police sources, the Maoists targeted an SPO, Bhimsena Khila, at Maribeda village under Kalimela police station in Malkangiri district on Tuesday afternoon. Bhimasena was posted at the Kalimela police station. He had taken leave to take part in the village fair festivities at Maribeda.
At around 4.30 p.m., a group of armed Maoists reached the village and searched for him. They tracked him down and asked him to come with them. He was shot at close range and he died on the spot. Naxals also targeted an aged person of the village who happened to be uncle of another SPO. He was seriously injured. The body of the deceased and the injured person were shifted to the Malkangiri district hospital, police officials said.
The incident is being seen as retaliatory move of the Maoists against the proposed coordinated anti-Maoist operation to be taken up in undivided Koraput district, adjoining Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel have started arriving in Koraput for this operation. A day before their 48 hours bandh call against joint anti-Maoist operation which started on Monday, the Maoists had killed two persons in Koraput and Malkangiri districts, branding them to be police informers. The targeted killing of the SPO is also said to be aimed at creating terror in the minds of people having links with the police before the start of major anti-naxal operation in the area. In November 2009, Maoists had murdered an SPO Anand Mandangi in Rayagada district.
The Maoists blew up rail track in Sundergarh district in the wee hours of Tuesday. Maoists triggered two blasts targeting the railway track between Birsa and Bangomunda stations at around 1.30 am. Five wagons of a goods train which was passing through the area at that time got derailed. It affected the rail services in the Chakradharpur division on the Howrah-Mumbai route. As per railway officials, train services in the down line was disrupted and several trains in the Mumbai-Howrah route were suspended following the blast. There were no causalities in the incident. Restoration work was on to resume rail traffic on the route.
Two naxals nabbed
Police also had a breakthrough in Sundergarh district as two Maoists were nabbed. The arrested naxals were identified as Pintu Panda (60) and Sabir Hussain (28). They were nabbed during combing operation by security forces inside Karada jungle on Monday night. On Monday another Maoist, Binod Munda, was also arrested from Topadiha.

Weinstein: "In these trying economic times, fair pay is not only a right but a vital tool, enabling women to provide for themselves and their families."
Contact: Kate Bigam or Jill Zimmerman
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 28, 2009 - In observance of Equal Pay Day 2009, Barbara Weinstein, Legislative Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
As we observe Equal Pay Day, we are acutely aware of the wage gap that continues to hinder women in the workplace and of the urgent need to ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work.
Early this year, we celebrated when Congress passed and President Obama signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, providing women the right to challenge wage discrimination in court. But as Ms. Ledbetter has said, ÐWith this bill in place, we now can move forward to where we all hope to be _ improving the law, not just restoring it." We call on Congress to build on the Ledbetter bill and the Equal Pay Act of 1963 by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act (S. 182). The bill will close legal loopholes that permit pay discrimination as well as bar retaliation against workers who disclose their wages.
As Jews, we are inspired by our tradition, which commands, "You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him; the wages of he who is hired shall not remain with you all night until the morning" (Leviticus 9:13). In these trying economic times, fair pay is not only a right but a vital tool, enabling women to provide for themselves and their families.

A widget factory is in my plan. I don't know yet how to fit it in the general

FOX Sports Exclusive
Danica does it her own way
Share This Story
LAS VEGASAfter wrecking on the 83rd lap of the Sam's Town 300, Danica Patrick's nascent NASCAR career can be summarized, in order of finish, as 35th, 31st and 36th.
That said, her first several weeks on the stock car circuit should be seen for what they are: a resounding success.
Who else, in the midst of what is still a recession, could make even casual fans care about Nationwide races in February?
It's worth mentioning that Patrick – who was running third before pitting on lap 74 of Saturday's race, should not be held culpable for the mishap.
"Completely, 100 percent my fault," said Michael McDowell, who had a damaged right bumper and was dropping down from the high line when he got in the way of a fast girl with fresh tires.
"Holy s---, he turned down," she was heard to say over the radio. "That was bull---- ... a broken bumper and he's trying to ------- race!"
By the time Patrick appeared in the garage with her GoDaddy Chevrolet and its crumpled front end, she had calmed down considerably. One imagined NASCAR officials were secretly disappointed, as nothing would've created more of a buzz than her seeking to bitch-slap the offending driver.
Instead, the stock car industry would have to make due with expressions of mild regret from its prettiest and most volatile rookie.
"It would've been nice to have a decent finish," she said. "I was feeling better and better all the time."
Actually, taken in another context, Patrick's showing can be argued as a kind of victory. By running well for as long as she did, Patrick dispelled the memory of her tentative performance (something nobody wants to see, a tentative Danica) last week in California.
"Fontana," she said, "was a real humbling experience. But I guess it was probably good that I went there because I got to go there again. So I might as well figure it out."
In other words, she gave the people something to look forward to when she returns from IndyCar racing in June. "California was a fluke. Today she showed what she's really made of," said crew chief Tony Eury Jr., who, despite the wreck, added that "she come here and she done what she needed to do."
DANICA'S BESTThere's no one like Danica, both on and off the track. Check out some of our favorite photos of Danica in action.
If that seems a bit of an overstatement, understand that everything about Patrick's NASCAR debut has been overblown. The idea of her first three Nationwide races as a reliable forecast of her future is preposterous.
Consider the best-known open wheel racers, and how they fared in NASCAR's second-tier series. Sam Hornish Jr. ran in nine Nationwide races before making his Sprint Cup debut in 2008. His order of finish: 36th, 43rd, 31st, 35th, 15th, 25th, 43rd, 25th, 31st. Juan Pablo Montoya ran 11th, 28th and 34th at the end of the 2006 season.
If you're looking for a longer apprenticeship, consider Tony Stewart. In '96, he ran nine times and didn't finish in the top 15. The following season, a year that saw him win an IndyCar championship, he competed in five Busch series races, crashing in three. It wasn't until '98, when he signed with Joe Gibbs Racing, that Stewart had any appreciable success, finishing in the top five in 22 starts.
So who cares if Danica Patrick wrecked in her third race?
Actually, everybody does. She's hot-tempered and fine-looking and if she's exploiting or sexualizing her own innate assets, well, so be it. At Friday's media session, Patrick — who left home at 16 to compete in England — was asked if she'd have been as successful if she hadn't posed in a state of spectacularly immodest dress for the magazine FHM back in 2003.
"I feel comfortable with everything I've done and had fun with it," she said. "That's just my style. I do things that are interesting and fun and show a little bit of my personality."
As these exchanges go, it was typical: a good question followed by a disingenuous answer. After all, her primary sponsor has put more cleavage in the Super Bowl than Janet Jackson.
Besides, NASCAR isn't the most American of endeavors by accident. It's all about sponsorship and marketing. And if some drivers are upset at the attention she commands, it's only because Danica Patrick has done a superlative job in branding herself. The rest of NASCAR can't wait until June.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal on Saturday announced that his government would come up with a separate new "Environment Master Plan". It has already instituted an environmental impact study of all major development projects, particularly hydro-power projects, to study their impact on the environment and how best to deal with the emerging scenario.
Sharing his views at the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit 2009 organised by TERI here, Mr. Dhumal, departing from prepared text, said his government was also seriously considering instituting a study on the status of glaciers in the Himalayan region in view of the climatic change challenges. "My government will soon organise a national level seminar on the 'Status of Glaciers' with other Himalyan States to discuss the issue threadbare."
The State's per capita carbon footprint has been assessed at 0.4 tonne in comparison to the national average of 1.05 tonnes.

Wave of mergers seen to sweep school system
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The country's adoption of the K-12 education program is expected to result in a wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) among operators of academic institutions.
This development may open up acquisition opportunities for the STI Group, said Eusebio Tanco, STI chair.
"As K-12 kicks in, there will be a lot of mergers and acquisitions," Tanco said in a phone interview. "This should encourage consolidation."
The Philippines has shifted to the K-12 education program, which requires at least one year of kindergarten education, six years of elementary education and six years of secondary education. Secondary education will now include four years of junior high and two years of senior high school education.
The K-12 program will cover grade 1 and high school freshmen students in school year 2012-2013.
STI is now scouting for such acquisition opportunities.
Last week, STI Education Systems Holdings Inc. obtained its board's approval to proceed with the acquisition of a controlling stake in 65-year-old West Negros University (WNU) in Bacolod City, adding about 5,000 students to STI's nationwide base.
Tanco said STI is still conducting a due diligence audit on WNU, which will be the basis for pricing the deal.
WNU is one of the biggest universities in Negros Occidental. The institution is accredited by Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities-Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA). Its eight colleges offer 28 associate and bachelor's degree programs.
WNU also has a School of Graduate Studies with masteral programs in Education, Public Administration, Nursing and English, as well as doctorate programs in Educational Management and Public Administration.
STI also reported that it recently purchased a 40-percent interest in a holding firm that owns a 20 percent equity in Unlad Resources Development Corp., the property arm of Philippine Women's University.
Because of the deal, STI's stake in Unlad increased to around 40 percent, Tanco said.
STI earlier said that 2013 could turn out to be another banner year for the institution. STI is banking on fresh capital with which to roll out its expansion program.
The core of its investment strategy lies in the acquisition of new properties where it can build new and bigger campuses.
