Today, we're headed up to the ranch… Which means we're going to take a few days off from these daily reckonings.
Instead of reckoning with gold, fed policy, stocks and interest rates…we're going to reckon with things that are easier to understand but harder to actually do anything about. Cattle. Water. Grapes. Capers.
Capers? Yes, apparently, the high, dry valleys are good for growing capers.
"Why bother," asked a friend in Paris. "Aren't you supposed to be enjoying that place? You don't want to work when you go there."
Au contraire. We like working. Especially on things we know nothing about.
Truth is, we barely knew what capers were. Those little salty things that they put in with fish, olives, pickles. We don't really know what they do with them. But we're going to plant some anyway to see how they do…
It helps keep the people up there busy. Otherwise, they have no jobs. We feel the heavy weight of a landowner's responsibility…to make the farm more than just a place to relax. We have to try to make it pay!
Meanwhile, stocks, commodities, practically everything is slobbering…breathing hard…hot and bothered. Probably capers too. Why? Because everything points to more easy money from the Fed. And everyone knows what easy money does. It causes prices to bubble up. Asset prices, that is. It doesn't do much for the economy – not when the economy is de-leveraging. But it can really cause havoc in the financial markets.
The Dow went up another 75 points yesterday. Oil is up to $83. Gold is headed to $1,400 – and after that, the moon.
Whee! What fun it is to think about all that new, Fed-created money bubbling into the markets…pushing up everything in its path…
Ben Bernanke gave the Japanese some advice about 10 years ago. He said that if their economy was stuck in the doldrums it was their own damned fault. He didn't put it that way. He said their problems were largely "self-induced." Which is a polite way of saying it was their owned damned fault.
He made it clear that he wouldn't let that happen to him. He'd use the tools at his disposal to light a fire under the economy. Anyway, that's what he told them.
And now, here he is. In Tokyo. Well, not literally in Tokyo. You know what we mean. He's faced with almost the same set of problems that faced the Japanese – a sluggish, de-leveraging, funky kind of economy.
"Across the US, long recovery looks like recession," says The New York Times.
So far, Bernanke has done about the same things they Japanese did. And so far, he's gotten about the same results.
But investors are betting that he won't stop there. They're betting that they can take him at his word…that he'll pull the trigger on enough quantitative easing to light up the whole world. Or blow it up.
Yes, the markets seem to be jumping for joy at the prospect. Ben Bernanke is supposed to announce a program of easy money…not just a little easy money…but a lot of it. Analysts are talking about the Fed buying between $100 billion and $1.5 trillion in bonds.
Of course, investors have probably already priced that kind of QE into the price structure. So, what are they gonna do if Bernanke does the expected thing?
Ben Bernanke's momma didn't raise no moron. He knows the whole world is watching. If his gesture falls short of what investors expect, they'll sell. And if he doesn't do something dramatic, they'll accuse him of being a coward…and they'll sell too. Only if he surpasses their expectations will asset prices really take off. And, of course, the dollar will fall. Which is what he's hoping for.
It will be a disaster for the economy. Printing press money always is. But it should be fun to watch.
Bill Bonner
for The Daily Reckoning
Since founding Agora Inc. in 1979, Bill Bonner has found success in numerous industries. His unique writing style, philanthropic undertakings and preservationist activities have been recognized by some of America's most respected authorities. With his friend and colleague Addison Wiggin, he co-founded The Daily Reckoning in 1999, and together they co-wrote the New York Times best-selling books Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt. His other works include Mobs, Messiahs and Markets (with Lila Rajiva), Dice Have No Memory, and most recently, Hormegeddon: How Too Much of a Good Thing Leads to Disaster. His most recent project is The Bill Bonner Letter.
Then, brave Americans might want to buy some Canadian stocks. They will rise in value as the Canadian dollar rises agains the U.S.
Don't buy Canadian oil companies, those rise and fall with oil prices in U.S. dollars.
Buy some canadian companies that have both their expenses and revenues mostly in Candadian dollars.
Those are a little hard to find since most Canadian companies are big importers or exporters.
Tim Hortons the famous Canadian coffee chain that trades on New York as well as Toronto is an example (has only small U.S. exposure)
There are some regional banks here with no U.S. exposure.
Some telecom companies here in Canada that trade on New York as well.
Alternatively Americans can borrow in U.S. funds and open a Canadian dollar account.
In theory Americans can buy currency futures, but that sort of thing is restricted to sophisticated investors and is usually highly leveraged and can be financial suicide.
Satisfaction, right away, that is what QE does. But it's cocaine for the system – what hangover we gonna get?
My advice stays the same: buy some land, grow your own food, and don't forget about security.
That may be even better than gold.
So again are we going to let the Rat get away with it? Of course we are. We are going to stand and take like men & women. Very, very stupid men and women.
I have to admit, I don't know WHAt to do and I'm fairly freaked out by it.
I have enough in gold and silver that I don't feel comfortable extending the % of my wealth there – especially at these prices.
Stocks? It's painful to sit out buying them when you see them going up – when you KNOW they are going to go up – because that still voice inside that I try to listen to warns, "This will at some point turn suddenly and end badly".
Commoddities? If you have alot in gold then you have your commodity play already.
Currencies? In a cuurency war, you would only see a NOMINAL increase in the foreign currency vs the dollar. In truth, in such a war, they will all lose buying power.
Real Estate? What if there's deflation after the inflation? What about the enormous glut of properties yet to be dumped on the market. Who will pay for a home if unemployment skyrockets?
emerging Markets? The advise to buy these seems wise until I notice that EM's are correlated to our own stock market – they're just more volatile. When ours goes up, theirs goes up more, but when ours gapped down, emerging markets got killed.
Other than buying stored food, a rifle and a buogout bag etc which requires a small % of wealth, I don't know what the hell to do.
Gasparus, do what I do…….learn to make wine. It will give you something to do and the results will impress your friends. Fill your wine cellar with your toil, it's another commodity play, but one of the best ones.

DEFINITION of 'USD/JPY (U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen) '
The abbreviation for the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen (USD/JPY) pair or cross for the currencies of the United States (USD) and Japan (JPY). The currency pair shows how many Japanese yen (the quote currency) are needed to purchase one U.S. dollar (the base currency).
Trading the USD/JPY currency pair is also known as trading the "gopher".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'USD/JPY (U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen) '
The value of the USD/JPY pair is quoted as 1 U.S. dollar per x Japanese yen. For example, if the pair is trading at 1.50 it means that it takes 1.5 yen to buy 1 U.S. dollar.
The USD/JPY is affected by factors that influence the value of the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen, both in relation to each other, and to other currencies. For this reason, the interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will affect the value of these currencies when compared to each other. For example, when the Fed intervenes in open market activities to make the U.S. dollar stronger, the value of the USD/JPY cross could increase, due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar when compared to the Japanese yen.
The USD/JPY tends to have a positive correlation with the USD/CHF and USD/CAD currency pairs because they all use the U.S. dollar as the base currency.

Travel & Leisure: Philly Better Than NYC. In the latest and greatest online survey from Travel & Leisure magazine, they asked online readers to rank 35 U.S. Cities on food, people, nightlife, and more. And Philly did pretty well. Among the best categories for Philly:
- Historical Sites/Monuments (#1)
- Sports-crazed (#1)
- Classical music (#2)
- Street food (#2)
- Hamburgers (#2)
Meanwhile, some where we ranked at the bottom:
- Cleanliness (#30)
- Safety (#25)
- Friendly (#25
Perhaps more impressively, the overall rankings placed Philadelphia ahead of places like New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles and more.
The rankings are not perfect or overly scientific, as The20's @CristinMcGrath confirms but supports.
@CristinMcGrath Wha-wha-what?! Philly beat NYC? Um, I fully expect pigs with wings to emerge from the icy pits of Hell in seconds. http://www.travelandleisure.com/americas-favorite-cities/2011
So let's just score one for Philly. Take that, New York.

How to improve holidays with children
Sunday 18 March 2007
Iwas presented with an amazing work of art last week, thoughtfully created at school by my younger son. After I'd ooh-ed and aah-ed over it for an appropriate length of time, I stuck it up in pride of place on our fridge, only to be confronted by my furious mini-Monet, who was most offended that I'd hung it upside down. (I thought it was a man's face, but apparently it was a depiction of the Great Fire of London.) He's still sulking about it.
It seems that I'm out of touch with my kids' creativity - my fault entirely, because I stopped doing arty stuff with them while they were still in nappies. But the good news is that there are ways of making amends, and even enjoying it in the process. I've just learned about a rather gorgeous family holiday in Florence where my budding Botticellis and I can master our painting or drawing techniques under the watchful eye of an Italian artist. Book with Sanctuary Villas and Apartments (01242 547906; sanctuary-villas.com) and they'll organise private art classes as well as guided family tours of the city's galleries and artisans' studios. Its selection of six luxurious pads in Florence include Lungarno Serristor, set in a historic Florentine palazzo with stunning views of the city.
I've also discovered a marvellous mosaic-making holiday in France. Artist Angie Weston provides residential courses in the Charente region for all ages (00 33 5 45 70 24 84; mosaic-courses.com). Stay full board in Le Luquet, a traditional charentaise longhouse, or, if you're passing through this summer, book in for a one-day course.
For something even more off the beaten track, check out Painting Alonissos (01905 24560; paintingalonissos.com), where the seascapes, wild flowers and ancient villages will inspire imaginations of all ages. You get to spend four hours a day with an artist in residence, exploring this peaceful and rugged Greek island.
You don't have to go to remote corners of Europe to indulge your creative side, though; there's plenty going on over here too. For an action-packed arty alternative, how about a night or two in a wigwam on the Northumberland coast, courtesy of the Pot-a-Doodle-Do activity centre (01289 307107; potadoodledo.com/ holidays.htm). Immerse yourself in the world of pottery, and then, once your creative juices have run dry, you can all go quad biking or horseriding in the Northumberland countryside.
But for the ultimate weekend of serious self-expression, take your little tribe on a painting weekend in a 17th-century farmhouse in the amazing Peak District National Park. The Michael Moore Art School (01625 574887; michaelmooreart.co.uk) offers short courses in oil painting, watercolours and sketching, including bed and breakfast in the farm's converted barns. And, best of all, everyone gets to take home their very own beautifully framed creations.
One word of advice, though: just remember to hang those masterpieces up the right way, or there'll be trouble.
Katy's top tip
Beaches Resorts (0800 742742; beachesresorts. co.uk) has just opened its first children's art camps at four of its properties in the Caribbean. These exclusive Crayola Camps encourage families to unleash their creativity through Caribbean-inspired activities including collages, jewellery and mosaics.

Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) introduced bipartisan legislation July 30, aiming to improve customer service delivery across agencies.
The Government Customer Service Improvement Act (S. 3455) would require OMB to work with agency officials to develop specific standards for customer services. The bipartisan legislation also would establish what Warner dubbed a "SWAT team." It would be a special unit within OMB to temporarily assist those agencies that consistently fail to meet customer service standards.
Further, each agency would have to designate a "service improvement officer," who would be responsible for monitoring progress. There would also be annual progress reports by agency.
"As any business school graduate can tell you, 'what gets measured gets done,'" Warner said. "I believe citizens should expect federal agencies to deliver customer service at least as well as the private sector does and, unfortunately, too often that is not the case."
The bill also targets the Office of Personnel Management. It would set specific service improvement targets for OPM, an agency which has experienced chronic backlogs for several years in processing retirement benefits for federal employees.
The bill was sent to the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee for further consideration. Also, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) introduced the bill initially in the House in 2011. The House has yet to vote on it.

A radiation therapy system optimized for treating extremities such as the breast has unique geometrical features that enable the system to deliver an accurately located prescribed dose to a target volume while eliminating or reducing the collateral dose delivered to the rest of the patient. The patient lies in a prone position on a rotating, shielded table, with the anatomy to be treated protruding through an orifice in the table into the path of a radiation beam. An optional integral imaging system provides accurate target volume localization for each treatment session. Utilizing the effects of gravity on a prone patient maximizes the separation of a target volume within the breast to adjacent critical structures such as the chest wall, heart and lungs, thereby reducing long term complications not associated with the primary disease. A shielded interface surface between the radiation source and the patient reduces patient dose due to scattered or stray radiation. A shielded enclosure for the radiation sources combined with the shielded interface surface eliminates the need for primary shielding in the room and allows the therapy system to be used in a transportable, mobile facility.
1. A radiation therapy system comprising:
a megavoltage radiation source and beam modulator producing a programmable radiation beam;
a rotatable patient positioning system, comprising:
a patient interface surface; and
an aperture to permit passage of the anatomy to be treated through the patient interface surface;
means to move the patient positioning system about a substantially vertical axis with respect to said radiation source;
a beam stop to substantially absorb the radiation beam which bypasses or is transmitted through the patient during operation;
an integrated shielding system cooperating with the patient interface surface configured to shield the patient, except for the anatomy to be treated, from substantially all direct and scattered radiation from the radiation source, beam modulator, and beam stop.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/779,498, filed on Mar. 7, 2006. The entire teachings of the above application are incorporated herein by reference.
In order to treat cancer with radiation, it is necessary to deliver the dose prescribed to the target volume, while minimizing the dose to other areas.
Many mechanical configurations of radiation therapy machines and the associated radiation sources have been developed since Roentgen discovered X-Rays. Modern radiation therapy systems use relatively high energy beams of radiation from radioactive isotopes or electron beam X-Ray generators. The X-Ray generators can employ either high voltage direct current or RF driven linear accelerators (LINACs). A mainstream radiation therapy system uses a LINAC to generate an electron beam with between 4 and 22 MeV of energy at low current. The electron beam strikes a high-atomic number target, typically tungsten, and generates penetrating x-rays. The beam is shaped and delivered to the target volume from one or more directions. The overlapping dose at the target volume is generally higher than the dose at the surface from any one delivery angle. The skin is sensitive to radiation, so it is desirable to limit the skin dose to minimize complications. If more fixed beam angles or continuous rotation are used, the surface dose can be spread out more and minimized with respect to the dose delivered to the target volume. It is also desirable to minimize the stray radiation dose to the rest of the patient. Low levels of radiation delivered to a large volume can trigger cancer growth in patients that survive the primary disease for a long time. A significant fraction of all radiation therapy treatments is employed to treat breast cancer with very good success. A typical general purpose radiation therapy system is designed to treat virtually all anatomical sites with some trade-offs being made in the design in order to make a universally applicable machine.
A machine designed specifically for a limited range of anatomical sites can be designed with different trade-offs to more fully optimize the treatment for a limited range of circumstances.
This invention relates to the optimization of machine and patient positioning geometry to deliver a clinically better treatment for a limited range of anatomical target volumes. By using a novel patient positioner and source geometry, the target anatomy can be separated from the non-target areas of the patient and treated effectively. This invention can be used for many extremities, but for the purposes of illustration of the salient features, and the most probable use of the machine, breast treatments will be discussed.
A substantially horizontal table with an aperture is provided for the patient to lie on in a prone position. The breast to be treated is positioned through the aperture for alignment and treatment. In this position, gravity is an assist in elongating the breast and maximizing the separation between the target volume and the critical structures within the patient such as the chest wall, lung, and heart. By making the table from a shielding material, the unwanted dose from stray radiation to the rest of the patient can be greatly reduced or eliminated.
Any source of radiation can be accommodated as part of this invention, and the energy required to treat small volumes such as the breast or other extremities is lower than a general purpose machine designed to treat target volumes deep in a large patient's abdomen, for example. A compact LINAC, cobalt 60 isotopic source, or ortho- or supervoltage x-ray generator may be employed, depending on the clinician's preference for dose delivery. Lower energy, simpler systems may be preferred in remote areas where maintenance is limited.
The design of the system employs a positionable, rotational element. The radiation source or the patient positioner can be rotated about a substantially vertical axis, the motions being geometrically equivalent. In the case of a configuration employing a rotating radiation source, the rotating element may also include an optional diagnostic energy imaging source and detector system for localizing the target volume in situ at the time of treatment. As can be appreciated by one of skill in the art, a source assembly and associated shielding will typically weigh many times the weight of patient plus patient positioner. The invention can consist of only the patient positioning and radiation source systems, or also employ a diagnostic energy x-ray source and imaging system. If the radiation therapy source can also produce diagnostic energy and quality beams, only one radiation source is required if imaging is desired. The imaging system can be optical or use ionizing radiation. Utilizing a high energy portal imager in the path of the therapy beam after the treated anatomy is also a possible configuration.
The rotational movement combined with an ionizing radiation imaging source and detector can be used to generate plane orthogonal x-rays, cone beam CT, or digitally reconstructed radiographs to assist in anatomical positioning. The position of the anatomy with respect to the radiation beam size, shape, and position can be adjusted to locate the therapy beam in the desired position with respect to the anatomy. Alternatively, the radiation beam size, shape, and or position can be adjusted with respect to the anatomy to provide alignment for the planned treatment.
The rotational movement of the patient positioner or the beam in conjunction with the radiation source and a multileaf collimator or other beam modulation device can be used to deliver a highly optimized, pre-planned dose distribution to the treatment volume.
The gravity assist of a prone patient position and optional anatomy fixation device maximize the separation of the target volume with respect to critical structures and other areas not intended to receive radiation.
By making the patient support table from a shielding material such as lead, and extending the beam block to surround the radiation source(s) entirely, the system can be made self-shielding. General purpose radiation therapy machines that use higher energy beams for treating deep targets in the abdomen, for example, operate at up to and sometimes exceeding 21 MeV. This requires extensive shielding as the primary beam is very penetrating. Above 8 MeV, an x-ray beam produces neutrons which require additional thick shielding. A typical concrete bunker for a LINAC has walls on the order of 4 feet thick, leading to substantial construction costs and a large installation footprint. By optimizing the design of the machine for smaller anatomical targets, the energy of the therapy beam does not need to approach the neutron production threshold, significantly reducing the neutron shielding requirements. A self shielded machine can be installed in a room with minimal shielding, such as employed for CT or diagnostic x-ray rooms. This approach reduces the cost of installation substantially and also makes mobile operation feasible, bringing standard-of-care treatment options to smaller hospitals and rural areas with a low population density.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
This invention relates to the devices and methods for delivering an accurately located dose of radiation to a predetermined target volume within an anatomical site such as a breast. The following description and figures illustrate both a machine configuration where the patient positioner is non-rotating, and a machine configuration where the patient positioner rotates around a non-rotating radiation source and optional imaging system, which is geometrically equivalent.
Referring to
Beam block 9 may include a portal imaging device which creates an image from the therapy beam passing through the treated anatomy. Positioning the rotational axis of the radiation source with respect to the anatomy is provided by either moving the source assembly relative to the table or the table relative to the source assembly. As can be appreciated by one of skill in the art, positioning the anatomy to be treated with respect to the therapy beam 6 is provided by either moving the table with respect to the rotational axis of the table or by selecting an offset portion of the beam by controlling the beam collimator 5. A diagnostic energy x-ray source and imager can be incorporated into the shielded base. The shielded base 3 can encompass the entire radiation source assembly 4 as shown in
In order to minimize the installed footprint of the system, it is possible to fold the electron beam trajectory as shown in

I moved to Melbourne at the beginning of 2001, and I used to walk around the city a lot both day and night. I remember a skate park on the corner of Swanston St and Lonsdale St which I walked past most days and Friday nights after I finished work in Bourke St Mall. Sometimes I'd stop and watch the skaters through the fence for a little while. I remember a lot of sketchy people hanging out there, but also a lot of kids who just wanted to skate.
I didn't take any photos during my first year in Melbourne – one of my big regrets, as so many things look completely different to the way they do now.
Sail Yards skate park was closed a few months after I moved to Melbourne and QV now stands in it's place.
If anyone with stories and/or photos of Sail Yards would be keen to share, please do!

It is my blog's 5th birthday today! To celebrate, I am posting a tribute to the subject of my very first blog post: Yorkshire Brewery.
I first visited Yorkshire in 2007 when a photographer friend wanted to find a way up to the top. We were peering through the fence when the caretaker came up behind us and asked if we were photographers and if we wanted to have a look around the grounds. We didn't go in the buildings that day, but I returned a few months later and from there on Yorkshire pretty much became my second home.
I'd go early in the morning to watch the sunrise and the hot air balloons float across the sky whilst doing a bit of writing. I'd go late at night when I couldn't sleep. I'd scramble up to the top on my way to work just to have a half hour of peace and quiet to myself. I'd have a few ciders with friends on the silos watching the sun go down.
Being up high afforded me not only a great view, but a solitude and silence unachievable on the ground.
Last year the silos were demolished in preparation for redevelopment of the site into apartments. Redevelopment is inevitable, but it was sad days for me to see my second home go.
Who remembers inching your way around the very edge of the uppermost room where the floor was made of rotted wood barely holding together, hoping you didn't plunge through to your death several stories below, so you could get up onto the outside ledge at the top of the tower?
Feel free to share your stories in the comments section.

I realise today is Halloween but that is not why I am posting photos of a cemetery. That happens to be coincidence. Caiti and I went for an afternoon stroll through Coburg Cemetery the other day as we'd both been past it quite a few times and had been meaning to have a look.
The cemetery was established in 1856, and being so old many of the grave sites are in a bad state of disrepair.
There were some interesting old headstones. Some very elaborate, some very basic and some which were erected fairly recently.
According to the Greater Metropolitan Cemteries Trust records for Coburg Cemetery commenced in 1875 but there is evidence of burials dating back to the 1850s. However, records for these early burials have been lost.
We saw some cute bunnies hopping around too.

Here's one from a couple of years ago that I never got around to posting. The reception centre, originally built as a theatre, closed some years ago and remains derelict. Understandably, it's in a pretty bad state. There were plans to convert it into shopfronts or demolish it to make way for apartments but so far nothing has happened.

There are two new building developments underway on either side of the Melbourne Anarchist Club on St George's Road, and I noticed today that the Mayven building is gone. The website for the Mayven Apartments says that the art deco facade will be retained, although the entire thing is gone – I can only assume they are going to re-erect it once building commences.
Now, on the other side of the MAC is the St George Apartments. This will be situated where the old junk shop once stood.
The Melbourne Anarchist Club building will remain nestled in between the five- and six-storey developments. This little strip is going to look very different.
x Kitten of Doom
Update: It has been pointed out to me that the Mayven Apartments website states "The street frontage will reflect the signature 1930's Art Deco façade, providing the apartments with a unique and highly recognisable blend of old and new architectural styles." A new facade will be built, resembling the old one. What's the point of making a new facade that looks like the old one rather than retaining the original one?

Ma Yansong of Beijing-based MAD Architects designed latest architectural spectacle in China – the "Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort", one of fifty new branches planned by Chinese-based Sheraton Hotel chain, as a part of their strategic aggressive expansion in 2013. Probably the most striking, Sheraton in Huzhou is an unforgettable, enormous ring-like structure, form of layered floors, rising from the south bank of Taihu Lake.
Over 100 meters high and 116 meters wide, this outstanding hotel experience covers an area of 75 acres, providing 321 rooms – 40 suites, 37 villas and presidential suites. The investment of 1.5 billion dollars shows the importance of this endeavor, resulting with total floor area of 95 000 square meters.
Thoughtfully designed, this impressive hotel represents the optimal response to the site parameters and the context in general. Fundamental to the logic of the unique shape of this impressive yet bold design is the idea that the building is comprised of hotel rooms that demand ample natural light and cross ventilation. Moreover, its horizontal section and form ensure view of the lake for every room, regardless of its position. The metal façade becomes live at night – LED light system on the envelope displays colorfully animated textures and patterns, further reflected on the lake surface, creating playful and aesthetically pleasant atmosphere.
This peaceful architectural statement creates the impression of a gate, while emerging from the lake waterfront. Almost passive during the day, at night this very strict edifice transforms into a rollercoaster of visual effect, welcoming the guests in.
What will the skyscrapers of the future look like? Will they be covered in gardens, shaped like rocket ships, submerged in the ocean? eVolo Skyscrapers compiles 300 forward-looking projects, like buildings that incorporate robotics or are capable of flying...the next generation of big buildings.

2015 Distinguished Service Award Winner
Patty Seaton was awarded the MAPS Distinguished Service Award at the 2015 Conference. Patty's hard work and dedication to MAPS over the years was noted by several of her executive board colleagues. Patty was honored with this award just after she passed out symbolic hockey sticks to the remaining board members as she stepped down from the board after a 12-year run. One thing to note about Patty: while she will not be an official member of the Executive Board, Patty is a circumpolar star in the MAPS organization and while merely low on the horizon now, she just may find her stellar leadership rising again in the not-to-distant future. Congratulations, Patty!

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō The recent parole granted to convicted ŌĆ£thrill killerŌĆØ Alfred Brissette Jr. of Woonsocket ŌĆō which shocked the populace and angered law enforcement and correctional officers ŌĆö is generating proposed legislation to shake up the membership of the state Parole Board and to prevent such early releases in the future.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō A local man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of being in possession of an unregistered machine gun and ammunition, federal prosecutors said.
Isaiah Gasperini, 30, was also ordered to serve an additional year and a day for violating the terms of his release following a lengthy prison sentence on a previous firearms conviction.
Gasperini was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Mary M. Lisi in Providence, U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha and Providence Police Chief Col. Hugh T. Clements Jr. announced in a joint statement.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö With all of the emphasis in recent years on standardized test scores and college readiness, the topic of class sizes and the student-to-teacher ratio is one factor to consider. Private schools and charter schools, in particular, tout smaller class sizes as a key factor behind their student bodies' typically higher showings on tests such as the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP).

CSU is back in the AVCA top 25 poll, jumping to No. 22 after an 8-0 start to the season.
Sept. 16, 2013
AVCA Top 25 Poll | Tickets
Follow the Rams on social media: Twitter (#PointRams) | Facebook | Instagram
LEXINGTON, Ky. — After a perfect 8-0 start to the season, the Colorado State Rams are back in the AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 poll, ranked No. 22 in this week's poll. It is CSU's highest ranking since Sept. 26, 2011, when the Rams ranked No. 21.
All-time, just 14 teams have been ranked more frequently than CSU, which has been voted into the top-25 poll 236 times in its history. However, this is the first time CSU has been ranked since the second week of the 2012 season, when the Rams were No. 24 after starting at No. 25 in the 2012 preseason poll.CSU received votes several other weeks throughout the 2012 season, and has steadily climbed the rankings in 2012 — 38th in the preseason poll, 31st in Week 2 and 26th in Week 3 — before cracking the rankings.
Playing as a ranked team, CSU is 409-125 all-time, including 232-28 at Moby Arena. The Rams will look to improve on that mark this week with two critical matches. CSU begins Mountain West action against Border War rival Wyoming (Wednesday at 7 p.m. MT), followed by an Orange Out match vs. the SEC West favorites, Texas A&M. The Aggies defeated then-No. 16 Florida State over the weekend, and currently are the top team in the 'Receiving Votes' category (26th). Pepperdine, which CSU defeated on Sept. 7 in Malibu, Calif., is again receiving votes. The Waves dropped out last week, but defeated then-No. 19 Kentucky over the weekend to earn 17 points (31st).
For the third straight week, the No. 1 team in the country has lost, as USC fell to then-No. 9 San Diego on Friday. Additionally, No. 2 Texas lost to Arizona State, allowing Penn State to move into the top spot. The top five is rounded out with San Diego, Washington, Florida and USC. The Rams are one of three teams in the poll who were not ranked last week (Arizona State, No. 18; and Ohio, 24). CSU earned 235 total points, 110 more than last week.

Soon there will be no ocean view as they are almost finished building a tower infront of the hotel. The hotel is good but the pool and gym are not great.
the staff and the size and condition of the room was excellent with the exception of the bathroom which was clean but can use updating.
Was nice location. Big spacious rooms. Kitchen and fridge were very convenient. Pool is great.
Wish they served brekafast longer.
The staff was friendly, the location was good , walking distance to most other hotel / casinos and the metro was right around the corner.. Also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The free wireless was good . The only negative thing is that they need to replace the rugs in the hallway .
The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was perfect, withan ocean view. You can drink the tap water and eat local vegetables, safely.
Wi-fi was spotty at times. The hotel is beautifully off by itself, with only one other hotel sharing the beach. I may choose to rent a car next time to explore a bit without having to take a tour or a cab.
I loved the location of the resort, the scenery, and the staff was very friendly.
I rented a car and one day drove to my Dad's birthplace of Colon, Panama. I felt like the staff should have different cities and simple maps and directions for their guests that rent cars.
Nice rooms and rooftop bar/restaurant was lovely.
Check in was at 3, no exceptions. All guests started getting checked in at 3:30. Don't arrive early!Disco on the floor below can be heard from rooms.
When I arrived at the hotel, I was upgraded at no charge. It was AMAZING!! The extra towels for the women I took home were a great perk as they needed a quick shower before heading out to turn another trick. Location was great!!
The internet sucked, was intermittent and as a result I was unable to watch any adult entertainment via web. :(
They moved me to another hotel because they over booked. I would stay away from this hotel.
