Pentagon CIO Teri Takai wants industry to find new ways of authenticating mobile users.
Defense Department CIO Teri Takai is urging industry to develop mobile devices that can be quickly certified by the Pentagon and that use derived credentials on users' phones in lieu of Common Access Cards.
"We're going to need to work with industry to make sure that as we look at derived credentials, as we look at a different way of authenticating, which we knew we were going to get to, that you are in fact investing in providing more and more security in that derived credential," Takai said at FedScoop's fourth annual MobileGov Summit on Feb. 27.
Derived credentials can be installed on devices via hardware such as microSD and SIM cards, instead of Common Access Cards, which rely on external readers.
Takai said DOD can't bank on having cutting-edge smartphones or tablet PCs given the current budget constraints and needs to have a secure mobile environment that isn't contingent on devices.
"The phone in and of itself and the security of the phone, as I say, is a start point, but now we're really talking about what are the structural changes that have to happen in the way we look at our data, in the way that we look at our applications, in the way we look at security," she said.
DOD's widespread use of apps further complicates security. Once a phone or operating system is certified for use, the preloaded apps also must be vetted. Ideally, agencies would include apps used by employees in their catalogues so updates and alterations to code could easily be accessed.
Tom Simmons, area vice president for Citrix Systems' U.S. Public Sector, said the best solution for securing data is hosting a virtualized app in a data center.
"Everything that goes on happens behind the firewall, and I'm seeing the results of that data," Simmons said. "But there's no data coming across the device. It's all just pictures."

I'm the same. I couldn't stand Amanda Burton in anything. But to my own surprise, I'm actually beginning to wish the series would go back to those days.
Is there a completely new set of writers for this current series ?
You always had to suspend belief when watching SW, but not to the extent of recent episodes. It appears to me as if they are trying to appeal to a completely different set of viewers, either that or we are watching a "jump the shark" moment.
It will interesting to see if they can keep old loyal viewers, or attract enough new viewers to make for those who decide to call it a day. I'll continue watching, if there's nothing better to do, but it's no longer in the "must see" category..even with the lovely Emilia Fox.

Iran seeks unity around memory of slain scientists
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Moments before Iran's president began his speech about claimed nuclear advances, Iranian state TV made sure the secondary message also was clear: showing framed photos of five slain scientists whose deaths Tehran blames on Israel and its allies.
The propaganda-heavy homage - which included Mahmoud Ahmadinejad taking the young daughter of a murdered researcher onto his knee - barely registered amid the reaction to the speech from Western officials. But it offers timely lessons into an apparently growing tally of bloodshed and covert plotting over Iran's nuclear defiance.
From Iran's view - bluntly stated during Wednesday's events in Tehran and elsewhere - it's been the target of clandestine hit squads for more than two years while the West has ignored Iran's claims that the Israeli Mossad spy agency is the mastermind.
It's part of a "huge perception gap" between Iran and its foes that fosters political grandstanding and image-shaping during a suspected shadow war that has stretched from Tehran's street to secret hideouts in Bangkok, said Mustafa Alani, an analyst at the Gulf Research Center based in Geneva.
"Iran's official line is that it's under siege, not the aggressor. This shows up everywhere in Iran's policies and statements," he said. Tehran insists its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes only, not weapons.
Iran has also strongly denied any links to a series of Israel-targeted incidents this week: A bomb defused Monday planted on a car used by the Israeli Embassy in Georgia's capital Tblisi and, on the same day, a blast in New Delhi that wounded four people, including the wife of an Israel diplomat. Israel immediately pointed the finger at Iran.
On Thursday, Thailand's national police chief claimed that three Iranians planned to use a cache of explosives to target Israeli diplomats. The Iranians were detained after accidentally setting off explosives in Bangkok
But Iran's sharp allegations about Israel's link to the scientist slayings - as well as to cyber attacks targeting nuclear equipment - serve to strengthen speculation of a payback campaign directed by Tehran. At home, Iran seeks to build greater national unity around the nuclear program as sanctions hobble the country's economy and banking sector.
The political theater was generously scripted Wednesday as Iran claimed it has made two key steps toward mastering the production of nuclear fuel.
Ahmadinejad spoke on national TV next to photos of five nuclear scientists and researchers killed since 2010. Nearby was a large portrait of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei holding the son of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a senior director of Iran's main uranium enrichment facility, who was killed last month after a magnetic bomb tore through his car in Tehran.
During earlier ceremonies to insert domestically made fuel rods at a Tehran research reactor, Ahmadinejad lifted to his knee the daughter of nuclear electronics expert Darioush Rezaeinejad, who was fatally shot last year by a pair of gunmen on motorcycles. Iran's nuclear chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, embraced the girl.
The ribbon-cutting was done by the teenage son of slain nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari, who was killed in a November 2010 blast that also wounded Abbasi.

GAO recommends chief management officers as a way to improve emergency response
Catastrophic Disasters
CXOs focus on collaboration as key to better management
Some federal agencies need chief management officers to oversee changes that take longer than most political appointees spend in office, the Government Accountability Office's top official said at a recent event in which GAO released new reports on Hurricane Katrina.
Comptroller General David Walker, the head of GAO, said congressional leaders could consider creating chief management officer positions at the Homeland Security Department to improve DHS' emergency response operations.
Walker also testified before Congress in the spring about the need to create federal chief operating officer or chief management officer positions at certain agencies to focus attention on transformational change and ensure accountability.
Setting up the framework for good emergency response takes a long time, sometimes longer than political appointees stay on the job, Walker said at the event sponsored by the Partnership for Public Service. DHS would need to fill such management positions with people who have "a proven track record of success both in the public and private sectors," he said.
GAO envisions the management positions being term appointments of about seven years. Management executives who fill those positions would work under performance-based contracts.
"If Congress is considering a change in the qualifications of the undersecretary for federal emergency management, it should consider establishing statutory professional qualifications for the undersecretary and other selected key positions within DHS and term appointments for the undersecretary and selected other positions," one GAO report states.
Some groups, however, want to see more coordinated emergency responses at various levels of government, but they don't think chief management officers are the answer. "What we do not need is more management," said Lois Clark McCoy, president of the National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue. Too much management, she said, is what held back National Guard units from doing their jobs in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
A lack of operational planning at the local level causes poor emergency responses, McCoy said. "What we need is long-range planning in operations."
But some public policy experts say they see merit in having chief management officers at DHS. John Palguta, vice president of policy at the Partnership for Public Service, said a nonpolitical management executive under a long-term performance contract could put in the time needed to oversee the rebuilding of New Orleans, for example.
"The average life of a political appointee is a year and a half to two years," Palguta said. "These folks simply aren't there for the long haul."

Comforter set
Very nice quality - great buyRead More
Innacurate description: this is NOT 100% cotton.
I was delighted to see beautiful cotton comforters for such a lovely price, and just barely refrained from buying three colors at once. I let myself order one, thinking I'd check the quality before purchasing more. It's my first overstock purchase, after all, as well as my first "City Scene" purchase. I hate, hate, HATE doing returns. Hate them. It keeps me from buying many large purchases online. Alas, by "100-percent cotton," the description writer clearly meant "100% polyester fiber," as that's what the item description states. Bait and switch, my fellow shoppers. Caveat emptor. For all that, it's very pretty. I cannot speak to quality because I've left it unopened in the bag so I have some prayer of successfully fighting the good return battle. I daresay I'll be calling overstock to have them sign in blood that their description is accurate before daring to purchase again. This is my first ever overstock purchase, and may be the last. I hope your shopping is far more successful, dear reader.Read More
Light, fluffy comforter
I am very happy with this comforter set. It was just what I was looking for. Comfortable, warm and fluffy, yet also light and airy so you don't feel weighed down under it. The blue color is really pretty - it is not a very light baby blue, rather it is a little darker baby blue. I was worried when buying it that the branches were off-white and not white white, but they are white white. It's a good deal if you are looking to spend less than $100 for a simple comforter that is good quality.Read More
Comforter set- 3 piece
I was unsure what the color would be like after reading the reviews vs. the picture. It is brighter than the picture shows. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I do like it. I just have to figure out a different wall color than I was planning...the gray won't go with it. I will probably do a sand color. I ordered a f/q size and it fits my queen bed perfectly. It is not very soft, but for the price...I will throw it in the drier with some dryer sheets. The shams are a diff material and are not an EXACT match, but they will work fine. Just an FYI if you are very picky.Read More
Great, inexpensive bedding set
I bought this set in queen two years ago and it held up well. I was happy that it was still available when we got our king-sized bed. It's a calming color and pattern and not to feminine for my husband.Read More

What is the thread count on the comforter?
Thank you for your question mafaira. The thread count is 150. Have a great day.
when it says "material 100% cotton ", does it mean the filling and the cover is 100% cotton? I am looking for cover and filling 100% cotton comforter. Thanks.
I thought the cover was itchy. It wasn't as pretty in person. More for pre teens. I'm not sure it's Colton.
Thank you for your inquiry. This item is filled with 100% polyester fiberfill. The cotton constitutes as the construction not the fill. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion This might have caused.
What is the fill material?
The fill is cotton. This is 100 percent cotton.
What is the thread count ?
This is 150 thread count.
Is the pattern white or ivory?
Color appearances can vary from monitor to monitor. The monitor we are using does not show white, though your monitor may be different.
What color blue is this? I am looking for a French or Federal blue. Thanks
This is a mid-tone blue. It is a rich French blue.
Are window treatments available for this set?

COVINGTON - Newton's volleyball team made some noise completing their first season with some wins to show for their efforts.The Lady Rams did what a lot of first-season teams fail to do - win some games and make it past the first round of the area playoffs. "We actually met one of the goals that we set," Newton head coach Shandelyn Carter said. " We wanted to fare well in the area tournament." The Lady Rams beat Redan 25-11, 25-15 to advance to the second round of the Area 2-AAAAA tournament. Unfortunately, they were unable to do to Luella and Morrow what they did to the Lady Raiders. Newton had the advantage of being led by a group of experienced players with senior Monty Lo as captain. "Monty's a good captain. Not only is she a very good athlete, she's also good at giving and taking direction," Carter said. Helping the Lady Rams score points from the service line were Monty Lo and junior April Lo, sophomore Selana Xiong and senior Kanysha Sherels. April Lo led the team with 53 aces. The Lo sisters also led the team in kills, while sophomore Joy Pollock had the most blocks. Newton's season was a work in progress, which was demonstrated in the final home match against Salem. Although they lost, the Lady Rams forced the Lady Seminoles into a third game. "I was pleased with the way the season turned out. We did well, especially in the last home game with Salem," Carter said. The Lady Rams had seven wins in their inaugural season, including victories over Eastside, Alcovy, Stephenson and McNair. "This year, we learned about the game," Carter said. "For next year, I want to build on the skills they have and do more conditioning." Manny Fils can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"perfect choice for complimenting the style of any wedding-as mother of groom planning rehearsal dinner this provided simple elegance that is very classic. We used both front and back of the invite-front for basic invite information and back for extra details. Paper and printing were top quality as we expected from this company. Front photo of the couple looked amazing! Shipping was right on time as promised. You can't go wrong with this design and style."
"The invitation was exactly as I expected it to be. Wonderful quality. Could not be more pleased. Personalizing the invitation was made easy and was exactly as I wanted upon my first review. 5 stars all around!"
"Great work, just what we wanted. Thanks for offering this beautiful invitation. We were proud to send to friends and family."
"After searching through what seemed thousands of styles and variations of rehearsal dinner invites, I came across Wedding Paper Divas and the style Darling Rustic. It was exactly what I was looking for. Customer service and order printing/delivery were very prompt and the product is exactly as described. Would definitely do business with WPD again and have already recommended the company to friends."
"When I received the final invitation, I was a little panicked. I saw a few little specks on the card. I immediately went to Live Chat and expressed my concern. The rep explained that these specks are part of the design as the invitation is supposed to look like it is printed on vintage paper. I did not see this aspect of the product in the electronic proof but certainly noticed these subtle features in the finished product. It makes the product even more elegant than I anticipated. We have used Wedding Paper Divas for both the shower and the rehearsal dinner invitations. They have been extremely easy to work with and have provided the guidance we needed to design a product that is a true reflection of us."

I'm going to give myself the rest of the week, eat my ice cream (and whatever other sugar I can get my hands on - hello Ghiardelli brownies!) and then start watching it. I am getting scared because I'm growing not shrinking and its all my own fault.
Isn't it funny how you feel so skinny right after the birth and then as the weeks go by, you feel like you get chubbier? That's been my experience, at least.
Catherine, mama to Preschooler Girl 9/08, and Toddler Boy 3/11
i'm giving myself until 3 months to get rid of the tummy...i dont think dh is even attracted to me anymore.
give yourself time. after all, it took 10 months to get the baby in there. takes a while to get the weight off again.

|I had to break down and get jeans too...it helped me to feel better to get into jeans..even though they are a few sizes bigger than pre-pregnancy.
i hate the way I look. my lower abs, hips, and butt are much bigger. i don't mind the stretch marks because i know they will fade, but the fat- oy the fat!! ugh.
i did weight watchers to lose the fat after DS. i got out my points tracker today and am going to start watching myself. i don't really want to go back to meetings, so hopefully just food journaling will get me looking semi like myself soon.

Isn't it funny how you feel so skinny right after the birth and then as the weeks go by, you feel like you get chubbier? That's been my experience, at least.
Actually, I *feel* thin, or at least as thin as my pre-preg self from what I can see naturally of my body, but then I catch a glimpse in the mirror and the reality is a different, chubbier story. I also feel like I look worse in clothes than I do naked these days, which is strange and not so great.
Can't wait to start DTD but I'm still bleeding!
I'm finally back on line! DS2 was born 9/30, weighed 9pounds 6 ounces. I didn't 'gain' any weight during my pregnancy (morning sickness, etc), so I'm now 32 pounds lighter now then I was pre-pregnancy. My pre-pregnancy jeans fit much better! HOWEVER, I felt so great after my awesome homebirth that I did way to much too fast & ended up with a vaginal prolapse--Uterus, bladder & rectum all collapsing into my vaginal cavity (sorry if TMI). After a week of bedrest (& Sepia, inversions, etc), the uterine prolapse is much better, but the other problems still exist. So, a cautionary note to all you mamas ready to get back to exercising etc., take it slow & easy!
Needless to say, I feel pretty yucky about the way my insides feel, & the possibility of major lifestyle changes or surgery in my future. I'd take the weight over this problem anytime.
Loving mama to magical boys Skyler (11/21/03) and Gryffin Emrys (9/30/08).
I have a Wii and recently purchased the Wii Fit game in hopes that will help shed some pregnancy and pre-pregnancy pounds until spring arrives and I can go to one of the local state parks and start hiking again. DH keeps telling me that I don't need to lose any weight, that I look fine right now, but I would like to lose about 15 pounds or so to get down to my ideal weight.
This was my fifth preg and I feel like it's done my body right in (though I felt like that after the second preg lol). I haven't had a moment really to get a good look at the vajayjay yet lol. To keep from feeling too dismayed I've been admiring how much better my ankles look not swollen. :
Mum to Moo Moo (4) and EJ (2)
just not feeling great about how i look. i have so many friends who pop the baby out and look fab a week later. so unfair. so so unfair. :
wife to wonderful mama of three-DS1 born December 30, 2005 and DS2 born September 27, 2008 and one lovely little girl born September 7, 2011
Oh don't worry... he probably thinks you look fine. I've asked my DH a hundred times so far if he still thinks i'm attractive. When he says yes, I go "are you sure?" lol. You aren't the only one that feels unattractive right now! My stomach just kinda hangs in the front. It just feels like it will be that way forever. Oh, and my body is so scarred with stretch marks that i've been joking that I look like a zebra!
wife to wonderful mama of three-DS1 born December 30, 2005 and DS2 born September 27, 2008 and one lovely little girl born September 7, 2011
Anyway, I can't fit into any of my pre-preg. clothes - they were all fairly slim fitting. I have hardly any maternity clothing and it's mostly summer stuff, so I've had to buy a few new things to wear. Sigh. I want my body back.
Vegan mama to DD (9/08), DS (9/11), and many rescued furbabies.
Been trying to eat more healthy past week and have gained 2 pounds Am same weight as after the birth and barely anything fits. This is hard when baby pukes on me a couple times a day - on my only 2 or 3 shirts that do fit! I feel sluggish and hungry all the time, my skin is gross, my hair is incredibly dry. My "downstairs" still aches sometimes, especially at end of the day. Haven't even tried to DTD yet. And I have a hemmeroid : (But at least that has got a lot better)
I'm in Australia so we're coming into summer, which is good in terms of being able to go out walking, but bad in terms of exposing fat! (arms, legs, etc yuck!) Especially because we're going on vacation in 3 weeks to the beach. Argh!!!
Oh, and I also have no shoes at the moment and live in flip-flops.
On the flip side, I just remind myself that there are far worse things in this world than some extra fat. Especially as I've been watching the entire series of Six Feet Under on DVD over the past few weeks...watching a TV series where every episode is about someone dead makes me really appreciate my life, fat, stretchmarks and all!!!
R wife to R , Mommy to A9/08! Expecting S around 9/3/15
My midwife told me not to expect to gain or lose any weight between 2 and 6 weeks PP. She said most women stay at the same weight during that time... some lose 5 pounds... and some gain 5 pounds. But she said that it's not the time to be expecting any major weight loss. So, I guess I have a ways to go yet.
I gained almost 50 pounds this time. A little over 35 is off so I still have about 15 to go.
The belly and love handles are killing me and my face is still a little fuller than I am used to but no major stretch marks to speak of.
I haven't looked down there yet. I had a labial tear that is still a bit sensitive sometimes but I want to give it a little more time so I don't freak out unnecessarily. I had dh look at and he said it looked ok just a little red and then it got him all excited so I guess he doesn't mind if it looks a little different.

The FDA previously informed consumers and health care professionals about the risks of incorrect administration of promethazine in the December 2006 and February 2008 editions of FDA Patient Safety News. Current prescribing information for the drug contains information about the risk of tissue injury, possibly including gangrene, if the drug is inadvertently administered in the artery, but that information was not highlighted in a boxed warning.
Promethazine first went on the market in 1956. FDA has reviewed the published literature and post-marketing adverse event reports submitted to the agency's Adverse Event Reporting System from 1969 to 2009 and identified cases of gangrene requiring amputation associated with administration of the drug.

ONEYBIKE Concept
Posted on May 24, 2010 by saya
Has the ONEYBIKE designed by Peter Varga put you in mind of the old days when people were riding a high wheeler or a recumbent bike? Coming as a perfect combination of those two classical bikes in the past, the ONEYBIKE has become an important window for people nowadays to learn about the history. And of course ONEYBIKE still features some modern designs, like the folding mechanism that allows for easy storage.
Designer: Peter Varga

(AP) Media say rescuers are trying to bring to the surface 167 gold mine workers trapped underground in northern South Africa for nearly 24 hours.
The workers - mainly maintenance staff - were trapped when lightning struck an electrical substation late Saturday and caused a complete power blackout.
The South African Press Association quotes mine spokesman James Duncan as saying the miners have access to water and medical assistance.
Duncan says electricity supplies have been re-established and the company is trying to connect the power to the underground winders and lifts.
If that doesn't work, the alternative is to use an emergency shaft, but that would entail a six- to seven-hour walk. Duncan told SAPA Sunday the workers are hungry, stressed and tired.

Editorial: Who will make sure virtual schools are scrutinized more closely?
A for-profit company selected to run Tennessee's largest virtual school system is accused of doctoring students' grades, but two state representatives, including one from Memphis, cut off any discussion Tuesday about the alleged cheating.
Then the state House Education subcommittee killed a bill that would have closed the Tennessee Virtual Academy, which has 486 students from Shelby County and 3,149 statewide. The reprieve came despite the fact that a lot of legislators — Democrats and Republicans — are extremely disappointed with the low academic performance of students enrolled in the school.
If that isn't puzzling enough, a state representative released TnVA e-mails leaked to her in which teachers were instructed to quickly delete students' progress reports for September and October, delete the grades of students on an assignment that a majority had failed, and to "please consider" counting only the final grade of a student whose earlier unit average was an F.
The troubling part about all this is that there are no adequate processes in place to hold TnVA to higher academic standards or to investigate the allegation that grades were altered.
The legislature in 2011 authorized state funding for the for-profit virtual school to give students, especially those in struggling public schools, more choice. The TnVA, based in Union County, receives roughly $5,000 in state funds per student each year. That is a lot of taxpayer money going to an under-performing school that also may be doctoring grades. There are at least two nonprofit virtual schools in Tennessee that are performing satisfactorily,
Rep. Mark White, R-Memphis, one of the lawmakers who worked to cut discussion on the alleged cheating and pushed to kill the bill that would have closed TnVA, said ending TnVA would also have meant closing the virtual schools that are working. He also pointed out that another bill which got through the committee would hold virtual schools to stricter standards in the future.
But this is what should trouble taxpayers and parents of students enrolled in Tennessee's virtual schools. Setting stricter standards is one thing. Having a process in place to effectively enforce them is another. And, with regard to the allegation that grades have been changed improperly, no one is quite sure who is responsible for following up on those TnVA e-mails.

Has ur partner even cheated?
My husband has not. However, my ex-husband did and I found out. That's precisely why he's the ex-husband. I don't play that shit. I can only thank God that we didn't have any kids together so his stupidity only affected the two of us.
Because Mean Girl.
Wife to Josh.
Mommy to Ike, Anna-Kate, & Mick.
No, my DF and I are against cheating. I cannot see how a relationship can come back strong after a blow like that. For me, it would just keep playing on my mind.
DS- JJ 27.5.10(oYo) DS- ZE 21.12.12(oYo)
Depends on how you define cheating. When DH and I first met, I was very naive and thought that once we began sleeping together that it meant we were in a monogamous relationship. I was 20 at the time and had only been with one other person. I found out a month or two later that he had been sleeping with both me and his ex girlfriend at the same time. We talked it through, and I realized that he was under the impression that we were just dating and not dating exclusively. It makes sense because we had never brought up the subject before. So while I felt like he had cheated on me, he didn't feel that it was cheating. He did stop immediately, though, and we've been together ever since. We've now been married for 10 years and are expecting our first child.

My husband never has and never will. I've had 3 ex bf's cheat on me in the past though. One was my first love and I was young and stupidly let him come back and it broke me as a person and took years to get over it. I eventually found myself again and told him to fuck off and stay away from me. The 2nd cheated on me and I found out so I dumped him but found out later he had cheated on me with a friend of mine too. I couldn't care less tbh though because we had only been together for 2 months. The third actually used me to cheat on his gf. He had a gf already and I had no idea and I was the other woman without even knowing. I only found out because I overheard him tell someone at a party that he was having a hard time choosing between us.
I was so shocked and more so because this guy was a friend of mine before we ever got together and I had met his gf, who I thought was his ex and everything. She knew about me though so that was weird too. I dumped him immediately and never spoke to him again. He was completely exiled from our group of friends too. I never told anyone what happened but the person he told did so not my problem.
I will say that each of these men also sent me letters, emails, phone calls and texts apologising for everything several times. Clearly they felt extremely guilty over what they did but tbh, I always found the sorry crap entertaining because it usually took a year or so before they would apologise and I was well over it by then. Thankfully my husband is a very good man who loves me way too much to ever do anything like that.

Michele and her husband were so welcoming. Not only were they flexible with my arrival time, but they even offered to help me carry my things inside. I stayed in the main level suite. Suite has a private entrance with a keyless (coded) entry! How nice! There was an in suite full bathroom and 2 separate closets. The room and bathroom were VERY spacious & CLEAN! Why would I ever stay in a Cleveland hotel again? The wifi and cable worked great, parking was a breeze and I felt incredibly safe. There was an outdoor patio area with seating I enjoyed and I was even able to do a load of laundry! I highly recommend staying here.
Michele and Roberts house is not just a house it's a real home. My wife and I moved to Cleveland for a period at CWRU and Michele's home fitted in our arrivel here. Highly recommended for people who go to Case.
Carla and Gustavo
Michele's home is lovely. The room was exactly as advertised and fit exactly what I needed for the week. The location is good for anyone staying on the east side of town and is really close to University Circle and the large hospitals in town. Michele was so welcoming! My plane was delayed and I didn't arrive until an hour later than planned. The location was easy to find and I didn't have any trouble parking my rental car. I will definitely stay again when the need for a room downtown comes up again.
Staying at Michele and Robert's home was the best possible experience. My husband and I had never stayed at an Airbnb and were a little nervous but Michele and her family immediately set our worries to rest. They were so incredibly welcoming. We arrived earlier than the prescribed check-in time and she made special arrangements for us. She even helped guide our house hunting. If we ever need somewhere to stay again, I will be sure to check with Michele first.
This host offers the perfect combination of spotless accommodations, personal warmth, and privacy. Highly, highly recommend!
My husband and I spent a month in Michele's house. It was a wonderful time! Our room was very comfortable and looks exactly like the pictures. Localization was also very good! Near from Case Western and from University Hospital! There is a bus stop in front of the house which was very convenient.
Michele and Robert were always very kind and helpful. We use the kitchen and the laundry area without any problems. If someone ask me where to stay in Cleveland I definitely will recommend Michele's house!
Thank you Michele! Hope to meet with you again ;)
Juliana and Felipe
The best thing about Michele's picture-perfect retreat is Michele. What a warm, caring, wonderful person!
The experience exceeded my expectations, which had already been raised by the gracious way in which Michele had responded to my need to cancel an earlier booking.
The suite was as elegant as it appeared in the photos and was very private and quiet. The guest kitchen made us feel like we really had a home away from home. The location, in a residential neighborhood, was not far from shopping, restaurants and everything the University Circle has to offer.

In Kabul, in his first press conference, newly appointed ambassador Ryan Crocker disputed the argument that the increased number of assassinations threatened the U.S. effort in Kandahar.
"Assassinations are horrific acts -- they are acts of terror and can have major impacts," said Crocker, who became ambassador on Monday. "But I don't think you can chart a straight line that says that three assassinations guarantees a total unraveling either of international support or Afghan confidence. It could very well go the other way."
The Taliban took credit for the assassination, but the first reporters who called the Taliban's spokesman said he was initially unaware of Hamidi's death.
It is unclear who is responsible for Hamidi's death -- or any of the other assassinations in Kandahar.
Since Ahmed Wali Karzai's killing, the province has become extremely susceptible to power brokers who are willing to use violence to secure control. Hamidi was seen as an ally of Ahmed Wali Karzai and a possible future governor, and could have been targeted in Kandahar's succession struggle.
Whoever killed him, Western and Afghan officials said Hamidi's death is a huge loss to the region.
"He was struggling with all the powerful people in Kandahar - the land grabbers and people who were breaking the law," Kandahar's governor said in a statement. "That's why the militants targeted him."
