A Survey on Single-Molecule Magnets based on Polyoxometalates
Polyoxometalates, in particular polyoxomolybdates and -tungstates, provide countless diamagnetic molecular frameworks that we readily can functionalize by integration of spin centers, e.g. paramagnetic transition metal ions. However, only in the past few years have some of these magnetic clusters been identified as single-molecule magnets, meaning that they are characterized by a slowing down of the magnetization relaxation, and possibly even magnetization hysteresis akin to bulk ferromagnets, at low temperatures. We review the current state of affairs in:
The higher oxidation states of iridium are paramount for the role of Ir complexes as promoters or intermediates in oxidation reactions. Yet, the preparative coordination chemistry of Ir(III) and Ir(IV) is notoriously complicated. Jointly with the group of Maxim Sokolov (Novosibirsk) we reconcile the seemingly incompatible aqueous chemistry of iridium cations and tungstates and provide a convenient blueprint for the development of Ir(IV)-based POMs and possibly even Ir(V)-POM chemistry, which promises intriguing electrochemical and catalytic properties. See:
Polyoxovanadate host-guest complexes are known since ages (read: 20 years). Especially mixed-valent species display a pronounced tendency towards structural complementarity, where the shape of the guest determines the host cluster type, despite very weak, purely electrostatic host-guest interactions. A closer look at the {V22O54(X)} family revealed a bunch of surprises linked to the intricate distribution of vanadium 3d electron density and its ultra-sensitive response to perturbations. See:
Quantum charge transport through single-molecule magnets is at the heart of molecular spintronics. However, the magnetically active orbitals need to be at the right energy so that they can actually interact with the electrons tunneling through the molecule. We discovered that early lanthanide ions such as Nd(III) fullfil these requirements. This allows, for the first time, the direct observation of molecular 4f-states by scanning tunneling microscopy. See our work in collaboration with our physics partners at Research Center Jülich:
This work was also highlighted in Nature Nanotechnology (doi:10.1038/nnano.2013.245).
Paul Kögerler will act as Vice Chair for the COST Action CM1203 which aims to consolidate and communicate the efforts in polyoxometalate chemistry in 21 European countries as well as several near-neighbor and international partner countries. The EU-funded Action will run until November 2016.
Magnetic metal nanoparticles of a few nm fill the gap between the magnetism of single or few metal atoms and cooperative phenomena of condensed phases. Yet, the stabilization and the controlled synthesis of mono-disperese ultra-small nanoparticles (less than 5 nm) remain tricky. Fortunately, functionalized polyoxometalates of the Keggin type can stabilize the surface of such nanoparticles, yielding water-soluble core-shell systems. For our results on such POM-nanoparticle hybrids based on technologically important, hard ferromagnetic FePt phases see:
Spherical oxomolybdate clusters of the Keplerate type provide highly defined interior cavities (with a volume of approx. 1.5 nm3) as well as pores. We were able to demonstrate that these systems can indeed function as nanoreactors in which steric confinement translates into specific regioselectivies. At the same time, running an organic cycloaddition reaction within this nanoreactor shields the reactants from catalytically active species in the solution surrounding the Keplerate clusters.
Revolutionary innovations in microelectronics mandate new materials: molecular magnets, used as integral transistor components, are expected to offer several decisive advantages, such as extremely low energy consumption and highly complex switching functions that are hard to realize using conventional semiconductor logic devices. The foundation for these characteristics is the joint utilization of magnetic and electronic quantum states of individual magnetic molecules.
In our ERC project 'Synthetic Expansion of Magnetic Molecules Into Spintronic Devices' (11/2012-10/2017), we aim to tackle one of central difficulties in molecular spin electronics: precise and reproducible contacts of the particle. We utilize highly stable magnetic metal oxide nanomolecules and exploit their versatile surface chemistry. Thus, contacts can be made synthetically, i.e., with atomic precision, creating both conductive and nonconductive interfaces.
Classical polyoxometalates are typically based on group 5/6 transition metals (V, Nb, Mo, W). What about their communist left-leaning neighbors with less valence electrons? Surprisingly, high-nuclearity molecular cerium oxides can indeed be formed via controlled condensation reactions. Read how their chemistry and structures mimic that of archetypal polyoxometalates in:

Jersey Shore
Why Did JWOWW Have a "Nervous Breakdown"?
The eight Jersey Shore castmates were understandably emotional as filming wrapped on Jersey Shore Season 6, the final season in the MTV show's short, but zeitgeist-changing, run. But those last moments in front of the camera affected the cast in different ways.
In an interview with the New York Times, JWOWW admits that on the last day of filming, "I had a nervous breakdown in the middle of the street, crying." She continues, "It was so bittersweet. That's the house that changed my life."
We actually get chills just thinking about how that last day must have played out. And we can easily see JWOWW (and the other roommates) breaking down in tears as they said goodbye to the Shore house, the Shore Store, and the cameras in their faces.
Luckily, we'll get to see it all go down in the Jersey Shore Season 6 finale (Season 6: Episode 12: "Raining Men and Meatballs", airing December 13). According to the NY Times, on the last day, the "housemates were allowed for the first time to interact directly with crew members and onlookers." Breaking the fourth wall has never happened before on Jersey Shore, and we can't wait to see what that looks like.
Make sure to tune in on the last Jersey Thursday ever!
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, December 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Making Your Kitchen Gadgets Earn Their Keep – Frugal Challenge
Several weeks ago, I wrote a review on one of my newly discovered (Thank you Hubby!) kitchen gadgets, the Magic Bullet mini blender. You can check out my review if you'd like by clicking right here: Magic Bullet Review.
Since that time, I was talking with a friend of mine about the Magic Bullet, and she confessed that she had one, but had retired it to the back of her pantry. Now, after reading my review, she has decided to drag her Magic Bullet back out and give it another chance.
She granted her Magic Bullet some prime real estate on her kitchen counter and started to put it to work, hopefully, to save money and get a return on that investment she made. Truthfully, many folks buy kitchen gadgets that they abandon after only a few uses. That is a tremendous waste of money. Let's see what my friend found out about the possible return on the investment she made in her Magic Bullet.
Because her family is hooked on those designer smoothies from the specialty shops, she decided to try making a gourmet smoothie of her own. Having picked blueberries earlier this summer, she was hoarding them in the freezer, trying to figure out what she wanted to use them for. And, this couldn't be just ANY recipe, as those were some highly prized blueberries, hand-picked with love. She chose a simple smoothie that would highlight and "glorify" (her words) the blueberries, and not hide the flavor behind something else.
Using a simple recipe of just 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (yes, leave them frozen solid), about 1- 1/2 cups of soy milk, and just a drizzle of honey to bring out the sweetness of the blueberries, not to overwhelm the delicate flavor, she gave the mixture a few good whirls, and voila!, delicious frothy and very blue blueberry smoothies. You can't get much simpler than that. It may not look like much to begin with, but check out the finished product!
Isn't the color of the completed smoothie beautiful? I think this would appeal to very young children just because of the incredible color and the frothiness. Of course, you can use any milk you want, but she just happens to drink soy milk. Add a little ice cream and you have a very nice dessert, too. This is one luxury that can be made at home for a fraction of what it would cost at a specialty shop.
So, can you actually save money by creating your own gourmet smoothie drinks at home, even when you figure in the cost of the Magic Bullet?
Yes, indeed, you can. In order to treat your family to smoothies at a specialty smoothie shop, you know you won't leave without spending $20 or more. Even considering the one-time expense of purchasing the Magic Bullet for around $50, you've got that covered in your first few stops at the smoothie shop. At home, you can blend up a whole mess of smoothies for less than a few cents each, depending on the ingredients you use. If you're using up fruit that's gone beyond its freshest moments, you're also helping your regular food budget by using up fruit instead of tossing it out.
Homemade smoothies are definitely saving you money. Additionally, you get to control the ingredients you want your family to ingest. I've also posted some great recipes recently that will make your family forget all about that gourmet smoothie shop! Just click here to find lots of ideas and recipes for creating delicious homemade smoothies that will appeal to kids and grownups alike.
I think my friend's Magic Bullet has probably earned its spot on her counter top already. But, there are many more uses and recipes that she and I will both try. It seems that the simplicity and ease of use will be what brings folks back to using the Magic Bullet time and again. As a matter of fact, this little kitchen gadget may qualify as one of those tools you can't live without, especially once you see that return on investment kick in. If you haven't purchased a Magic Bullet yet, you may want to click here to take a look.
My frugal challenge today, then, is to drag out your dusty kitchen gadgets, whether it's a Magic Bullet, full-sized blender, or food processor, and put it to work saving you money. Make your appliances earn their keep!
p.s. I would love it if you would check back here and let me know how you're saving money with your kitchen gadgets. I'm always interested in hearing about what works for your family as you try to live a more frugal lifestyle.
p.p.s. And, if you're already hooked on smoothies but would like to find even more delicious and nutritious recipes, click here to find out how you can get all the recipes for smoothies that your little heart desires!

Health Insurance Quotes
Impending death for mini-med health insurance plans
A provision in the health care reform law will probably spell an end to mini-med plans, a bare-bones form of health insurance.
Mini-med plans, also known as limited benefit plans, are low-cost insurance policies that provide narrow coverage, usually with a maximum dollar amount per year. While they offer basic benefits, these plans do not provide the comprehensive coverage that you'd need if you suffered from a catastrophic injury that required a lengthy stay in the hospital.
Premiums for these health insurance plans range from $20 to $190 per month for single coverage and $100 to $500 a month for family coverage, according to a 2010 "Mini Med Plans" report from the National Center for Policy Analysis.
Who buys mini-med health insurance?
These plans are typically offered to low-wage, part-time or seasonal employees but they are not subsidized by employers (meaning the employee pays the full cost of the premium). Most full-time employees who receive health care benefits from their employer are not enrolled in mini-med plans.
Under the health care reform law, health insurance companies will be prohibited from establishing annual dollar limits on coverage, starting in 2014. For plan years starting between Sept. 23, 2010, and Sept. 22, 2011, plans cannot limit annual coverage of essential benefits (hospital, physician and pharmacy) to less than $750,000. The annual dollar limit cannot be less than roughly $1.2 million for plan years starting on or after Sept. 23, 2011, or $2 million for plan years starting between Sept. 23, 2012, and Jan. 1, 2014.
"There are penalties that the government can impose" if the plan doesn't meet those requirements, says Kathryn Wilber, senior council on health policy for the American Benefits Council, a Washington, D.C.-based trade association that advocates for employee-benefit programs.
Health insurance companies receiving waivers
In the meantime, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued temporary waivers to allow workers to keep their mini-med plans. For example, the fast-food giant McDonald's received a waiver for its plan.
These waivers last for one year and are permitted only if the health insurance company certifies that the waiver is necessary to prevent a big increase in premiums or a decrease in access to coverage. Some insurers that have obtained a waiver can sell new policies to employers and individuals.
"For many Americans, this type of plan might be the only thing available to them that might be affordable," Wilber says. "This [waiver process] was a good outcome for consumers who were relying on these plans and who don't have access to other options and likely won't until 2014."
Health insurance plans that receive waivers must notify their customers that the plan does not meet the law's minimum annual requirement for essential benefits and has received a one-year waiver of this requirement. The notice must include the dollar amount of the plan's annual limit and a description of the benefits to which the limit applies.
Roughly 2 million Americans were enrolled in mini-med plans in 2010, according to the National Center for Policy Analysis. Ten percent of large employers (those with 500 or more employees) offered a mini-med plan in 2010, according to Mercer, a New York City-based consulting firm.
Health insurance rates have skyrocketed
Due to skyrocketing health insurance rates over the past five years, Congress wanted to address concerns about cost. The provision that bans annual dollar maximums is intended to reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients who would have exceeded the maximum.
"Many consumers have purchased coverage that was subject to low annual limits without knowing what they were buying. When they became ill and needed treatment, the rug was pulled out from under them as they learned that they had exhausted their plan's coverage," Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that advocates for health care consumers, stated in a press release.
Judy Dugan, research director of Consumer Watchdog, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, warned in a letter to the White House, "Some of these mini-med policies are capped at a few thousand dollars of coverage per year, hardly enough to pay for a brief emergency room visit or one night of hospitalization. Yet because they are defined as health insurance, workers who accept these junk policies may be excluded from public benefits or hospital charity aid if they fall seriously ill."

8 large
fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces
spinach, rinsed and chopped
1 tablespoon
crumbled feta cheese
4 (4 ounce) fillets
Thank you to all the reviewers on this one. I made their changes and this turned out wonderful. I increased the feta cheese, spinkled the inside of the fish with garlic powder. After they were rolled I added lemon pepper, subsituted the water for lemon juice and poured a litte lemon juice over the top of the fish. We live in Alaska so I subsituted halibut for flounder (just a bigger version of flounder)
This was good. I increased the amount of feta that i used to about 2.5 oz and I sauted my mushrooms with fresh garlic. I would also recommend seasoning the fish with season salt, paprika, pepper and garlic.
128 Ratings
once again, I did substitutions, which turned out
really great. instead of using flounder, I used
tilapia. I also used quite a bit more mushrooms,
feta & spinach.
just a hint for anyone who's always used reg ol
parmesan on their spaghetti. try using feta for a change. we won't ever again use parmesan on our
spaghetti. it adds a totally new & different flavor.
This was excellent and simple. I added 3 cloves of garlic to the spinach and mushroom mixture for some extra flavor...next time I will add more garlic and some salt and pepper. It's a great recipe, just needs a little more flavor.
Excellent!!! I added chopped tomato and per the reviews I added garlic, and probably 1/2 cup feta. I also coated the fish with mixture of bread crumbs, Paul Prudome Seafood Magic and Tony Cachere's creole seasoning. I covered it with lemon and butter. You must drain off the moisture from the stuffing mixture (I may even strain it next time) or you will have a mushy problem. I baked it longer than 20 minutes--maybe 30. It was so good--and healthy!!!
This recipe is only good if you season the fish. By itself the taste is nothing special. Also, 1 T. of feta is not enough. You need atleast 1/4 c. I agree with a previous reviewer that dredging the fish in breadcrumbs is the way to go.
Very Quick and easy and best of all it tastes great. I seasoned the fish with salt and pepper and some garlic powder and instead of using the fresh vegies, I used frozen spinach and canned mushrooms. Hubby really liked this alot.!
My husband and I really enjoyed this. It was very easy to make and very light. But it was still satisfying. I used fat-free feta cheese. Next time I might season the fillets a bit before baking. Definitely will make again.

Vihar is stands as proof to the belief that Buddhism
existed in Nepal from around the start of the
first century AD. This Vihar, a Buddhist shrine,
was present during the Licchavi period (300-879).
Unlike most of the Sanskrit names given to sites
during the Licchavi period and the terminologies
from that era which remained in use during the
generations that followed, Gum Vihar was assigned
its local name meaning the monastery on the hill.
So it is probable that Gum Vihar was established
and named before the Licchavis. Whenever its construction
may have been it was highly revered during the
Licchavi period. The vihar received many gifts
from Manadev I, who ruled the kingdom from 464
to 505. He repaired the temple as acts of redemption
to his sins; he had inadvertently killed his father.
Manadev also built a stupa in the area, which
lies next to the temple of Bajrayogini. This stupa
is covered by a Newari style temple dedicated
to Mahamayuri, a Buddhist goddess. Amsuvarma (605-621),
another Licchavi king, donated costly gifts, which
were calculated second to the amount donated to
the Pashupati and Changu Narayan Temples.
from eleventh century, especially after the reign
of Sthiti Malla (1382-1395), the people of the
area began their diversion towards Hinduism. It
was due to this change of religious focus that
the Buddhist Gum Vihar lost much of its attractiveness
to the Bajrayogini Temple built in its vicinity.
The bronze image of Buddha slowly decreased in
importance as the image of Ugratara Bajrayogini
attracted most of the worshippers visiting the
hill. By the time the Shahs took over rule in
the Kathmandu Valley in the eighteenth century,
this Buddha image was deprived of its original
form and representation and was revered by Buddhists
as Blacksmith's Queen.
image of Ugratara Bajrayogini in the temple has
two hands, one holding a sword and the other a
lotus. Her face and hands are painted red. Other
details are covered by heavy clothing and ornaments.
There are other smaller images of beasts at her
side inside the main temple.
There is also yagya kunda, a place designated
for fire rituals. During these rituals, offerings
are made to the fire god. Yagya kunda are found
in other temples in the Valley at Swayambhu and
Pachali Bhairav. The presence of this yagya kunda
in the surroundings of the Bajrayogini Temple
shows that there have been fire rituals where
the people offered sandalwood and others, ghee,
and grains in order to please the Agni God for
fulfillment of wishes, bringing rain and thus
good harvest.

Collingwood Arts Center to host musical benefitFriday, April 27th, 2007
On May 6, The Collingwood Arts Center will host "HeArts Toward Haiti," a benefit performance featuring local muscians and dancers, with the proceeds going toward the re-establishment of the music program at Port-au-Prince, Haiti's New Victorian School.
The New Victorian School, which was destroyed by fire in 2000 and later re-built, was founded in 1991 by Executive Director Romel Joseph. Joseph, who is a renowned violinist and a Fulbright scholar, has been legally blind since the age of 5.
Joseph began studying the violin at the age of 10 , and in three years, he was a member of the Holy Trinity Philharmonic Orchestra , the only classical orchestra in Haiti. He completed his Bachelor's of Music Degree in Violin Performance at the Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati. He was the Music Director of St. Vincent's School for Handicapped Children, his Alma Mater. There he also worked as a violin instructor as well as Director of the Handbell Choir and as a member of the faculty of the National School for the Arts. It was his Fulbright Grant that enabled him to continue his studies at The Juilliard School of Music in New York City, where he completed his Master's of Music in Violin Performance in 1987.
Thankful for the many gifts he had been given, even in the face of adversity, Joseph decided to return home to serve the children of his impoverished homeland.
"The primary objective of the New Victorian School is to help provide an excellent education to young, under-privileged students from 6th to 12th grade, and to further assist them in professional studies so that they may successfully enter the workforce thus, becoming valuable members of their communities," Joseph said.
It was Joseph's friend Cecilia Johnson, a local violinist, who brought everyone together for this event. "HeArts Toward Haiti" will feature Johnson on voilin, Jon Hendricks, Mark Mikel, Sarah and Shaun Shutts, Linnea Johnson, Michael Boyd, CYMBAL, Joe Zsigray, The Scandia String Quartet, The Maumee Valley Day School String Ensemble, Susan Hedler and Erik Johanson. The show will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, and $12 for children and seniors with proper I.D.

Are hot dogs the new burger? With the upcoming openings of ChiDogO's and DC-3, it certainly does seem so. ChiDogO's, located at 1934 14th St. NW, will serve Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches.
Owner Bob Hisaoka plans to open for business in mid-November. A few bloggers have noted progress on the shop's construction and are eagerly awaiting its opening. Meanwhile, development on another hot dog joint in Barracks Row is coming along nicely. The owners behind Matchbox and Ted's Bulletin plan to open their 20-seat hot dog shop, DC-3, in a few weeks. DC-3, at 423 8th St. SE, is named after the aircraft that revolutionized air transport in the 1930's and 1940s. The restaurant features a stainless steel countertop that resembles an airplane wing as well as a huge wall map pinpointing American locales that are the namesakes for menu items like the Cincinnati chili dog, the bacon-wrapped New Jersey dog, and the Tucson Sonoran dog.
If you're itching for a gourmet hot dog fix now, here are a few options:
• U Street Music Hall has a $5 pho dog. Really tasty.
• The Passenger has a $10 kim chi dog, which Y&H recently reviewed.
• And of course, there's always Ben's Chili Bowl.

Recently opened: Pizza Authentica and Red Derby's roof deck
Ballston has a new pizza shop. Pizza Autentica opened for business last week at the corner of Wilson Boulevard and N. Quincy Street. The D.C. pizza chain serves whole pies and pizza by the slice, as well as salads, sandwiches, gelato, and beer. The shop is also open for breakfast and offers breakfast sandwiches and coffee. With Pizza Autentica and Rustico's recent openings, Ballston seems to be turning into a hot spot for new dining options. Sweetgreen is expected to open the second week of November, and Buzz Bakery is planning to open in several months.
Red Derby's roof deck is now open. The neighborhood watering hole at 3718 14th St. NW obtained permits and began construction on its new rooftop deck this past June, reports PoP.

Coming soon: Tynan Coffee and Tea... along with a happy hour
Tynan Coffee and Tea plans to opens in two to three weeks, says PoP. The new coffeehouse will be located at 1275 1st St. NE. Owners Jim and Brian Sullivan, who are brothers, oversee three other locations in the Washington area: Columbia Heights, Constitution Square, and Friendship Heights. Their shops feature specialty coffee, loose leaf tea, and espresso. They also serve a variety of food items such soups, salads, sandwiches, waffles, and quiche. According to a sign in the front window of their soon-to-open location, the fourth Tynan will serve beer and wine and offer a happy hour.

Ready, Set, Paste
Reviewed for Kindergarten, 2011
Parents, this may be the best ten bucks you'll ever spend. True, these 9 paper projects are as simple as simple can be, but looks can be deceiving. This set hits the preschool sweet spot: not only are these projects incredibly appealing to kids this age, but they can actually do them with almost no parent intervention. As your young artist masters his chunky purple glue stick, and the art of scrunching tissue paper to make fall foliage, he'll be practicing his fine motor skills. The result?: One proud preschooler, and a great way to strengthen little fingers for writing.(Alex, $9.53)

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
The Four Seasons has beautiful rooms on the 5th to 17th floors of a SoMa skyscraper, along with top-level service, but it falls short of expectations for a San Francisco luxury hotel.
Opened in 2001, the Four Seasons San Francisco evokes oohs and aahs for its unusual real estate and beautiful rooms, even landing it on the Conde Nast Gold List of places to stay multiple years in a row. It sits on the 5th to 17th floors of a SoMa skyscraper, its elevators acting as discreet portals leading from busy downtown Market Street to an urban oasis. Its comfortable, well-furnished rooms, complete with marble bathrooms and 42-inch, flat-screen TVs, are among the city's best, and service meets gold standards with a 24-hour concierge and twice-daily housekeeping. But in features, the Four Seasons is, frankly, at the bottom of its class: Guests have access to the Sports Club/LA and its pool and spa in the same building, but it's owned and operated separately from the hotel, so it lacks the Four Seasons' level of service and décor.
The Four Seasons brand signals the epitome of luxury, and the rooms here are undoubtedly some of the best in the city, but on the whole, it's hard to recommend staying here when you can do much better. The Mandarin Oriental packs a bigger punch when it comes to views, with excellent rooms on the top floors of the city's third tallest building. And the service at the St. Regis -- which includes 24-hour butlers -- beats both the Mandarin and the Four Seasons.
Formal service, but no fireworks
The Four Seasons boasts professional, attentive service from front door to restaurant, with a 24-hour concierge, room service, automatic turndown, and bellmen waiting at the hotel's two entrances to escort guests to the 5th-floor lobby. You can't fault it. But if we get down to brass tacks -- and at this price level, we should -- the Four Seasons doesn't extend itself to impress guests the way you'd expect. Its competitors, for instance, offer extras like 24-hour butlers and afternoon tea service, and have on-site spa and fitness services, rather than outsourcing it to a local operator as the Four Seasons does.
In Central SoMa, close to convention centers and museums
Though its website boasts a location in the "Yerba Buena cultural district," this is really SoMa, and the hotel is located right on Market Street, a busy artery that cuts through downtown. It's close to several of the city's best museums, including SFMOMA and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, but it's a business-heavy neighborhood that's right next to the Financial District, Union Square, and the Moscone Center, making it best for business travelers. It's convenient to museums, Union Square, and the Embarcadero, but on the other hand, it's far from several landmark tourist attractions.
Among the city's biggest and best-furnished rooms
It's hard to fault the Four Seasons' 277 rooms and suites, which are among the city's best for size, amenities, and pristine condition. Even the hotel's most basic Deluxe Rooms start at a hefty 460 square feet, with impressive marble bathrooms, separate deep tubs, huge flat-screen TVs, and plush beds. To complain about the rooms would be to nitpick, but there are hotels that go further to impress us with their digs: The Mandarin Oriental's rooms offer better city views since they're higher up (and all rooms have impressive views, where only some of the Four Seasons' do), and the St. Regis pulls off its modern decor much more successfully. The Four Seasons' rooms have oddly retro-modern updates like metallic fabric headboards and geometric patterns that are a disappointing departure from a simpler, traditional style.
Enough features, although some are outsourced
If you're not interested in pumping iron and/or printing out faxes at the business center, there's not much more to do here. A 24-hour business center provides nearly every business service imaginable, and gym rats have direct access to the Sports Club/LA on the building's 4th floor, but features aren't at the forefront of this hotel.
Good for families
Huge, quiet rooms are ideal for families, and the central, relatively flat location makes getting around with kids easy. The hotel makes a good effort to accommodate kids, offering kids' menus, free cribs and rollaways, and little extras like milk and cookies on arrival. Overall, however, this is a business-focused hotel.
Feels brand new and spotless
This Four Seasons opened in 2001, but it's so well maintained, it feels like they just peeled the plastic off the furniture. You could hardly make a mess even if you wanted to, given the efficient, twice-daily housekeeping that arranges guests' toiletries neatly on the bathroom counter.
A steakhouse with beautiful views
The Four Seasons' huge, well-outfitted rooms and attentive service are among the city's best, but the 277-room property falls a bit short of expectations. Its pool and fitness center are outsourced, and its business-centric SoMa location lacks the prestige of Nob Hill, where some if its strongest competitors reside.

The Ghost Canal
Farmers and businessmen from all over the Newmarket district, angry at skyrocketing railroad freight rates, met in the Town Hall on Market Square to look for cheaper ways to get their products to market.
Their Member of Parliament, Sir William Mulock, convinced them a canal was the answer and so the Newmarket Canal was born.
Newmarkets civic leaders went to Ottawa to lobby for a canal linking to Lake Simcoe and the Trent Waterway. With Mulock as its chief advocate in Cabinet, the canal was approved and construction started in 1906. It was almost complete in the summer of 1912 three lift locks, three swing bridges and a turning basin when the new government of Robert Borden cancelled the project.
Instead of having a downtown on a busy tourist waterway, all we are left with is a turning basin at the Tannery Centre filled in to become the parking lot and an almost completed but never used ghost canal with its locks and bridges slowly deteriorating and disappearing.

My graduate collection is inspired by traces of escape which came from my Poppa's diary entry of when my pet budgie escaped, and also the memories I have from a visit to Alcatraz prison. The main focal point of my designs is the marks and traces left behind on denim garments by the unknown wearer. I have combined pleated rainmacs printed with landscapes of Alcatraz Island with delicate silks and foiled, bleached and recycled denim. My aim was to execute the use of denim in a sophisticated and feminine way, mixing contrasting fabrics for a modern twist.

Zoren Legaspi's surprise marriage proposal and wedding to Carmina Villaroel last Nov. 15 may have just become the benchmark for single men.
The wedding entitled "Zoren-Carmina: Always, Forever: A Wedding Like No Other," which will be aired on ABS-CBN tonight (Nov. 24) after "Maalaala Mo Kaya," will show why Zoren's marriage proposal and wedding to Carmina is a benchmark for hopeless romantics wanting marriage in their lives.
"Ang purpose ko lang ng gabing yun ay paligayahin si Carmina," Zoren replied when told that he has just set a benchmark in weddings. "Hindi ko alam na magkakaroon ng ripple effect yung ginawa namin na maraming na-touched, kagaya ng mga maraming nag-comment sa Facebook and Instagram at sa Twitter. Wala naman akong gustong patunayan sa mundo, gusto ko lang patunayan yung pagmamahal ko kay Carmina."
Carmina said, "Hindi namin akalain na ganito ang magiging effect ng aming wedding sa mga tao. Lahat ng tao, kilala o di kakila man, sobrang na-in-love all over again. At yung mga katulad ng sinabi ni Zoren, mga nabasa namin na hindi na naniniwala sa happy endings at sa love, parang nagkaroon ulit ng pag-asang ma-in-love or maniwala ulit sa kasal o maniwala ulit sa happy endings."
The couple also described their wedding night as perfect. The week around Nov. 15 was a rainy one and rain and flash floods were unpredictable, but it was a clear night on their wedding.
As to when Zoren decided on a surprise marriage proposal and wedding, he said that it was after his father-in-law, Daddy Reggie was recovering from hip surgery. To aid in his speedy recovery, he told him that he should get well-soon because he and Carmina will get married in November and he has to be there.
"Pakiramdam ko kahit anong klaseng wedding ang ibigay ko kay Carmina, kahit gaano kalaki, it would be useless kapag kahit isang magulang wala doon. Si Daddy Reggie na lang ang natitira sa buhay niya. Ako hindi ko ma-forgive ang sarili ko kapag ganun nga ang nangyari," said Zoren.
How much did Zoren spend for the wedding, from the Harry Winston wedding ring down to the production? "Hindi ko nararamdaman ang gastos kasi na-overwhelmed ng happiness and appreciation mo na na-accomplish mo yung isang goal mo. Sabi ko nga, may mga projects kasi ako in mind like to direct movies, pero sabi ko wala ng tatalo dito," he replied.

Kimberly Zubris: Outstanding Chemical Engineering undergraduate
As anyone in academia would tell you, it's very rare for an undergraduate student's work to rise to the level where scholarly journals deem it worthy of publication. Rare – but not impossible. Just ask Kimberly Zubris, a senior in the department of chemical engineering.
Kimberly's work has been published in the June 2005 edition of the scientific journal Environmental Pollution. The article was based on soil contamination research Kimberly performed in the summer of 2004 as part of the NSF-Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at Cornell University.
"Kimberly's accomplishments are a true reflection of the high quality of students and educational environment in chemical engineering at Lehigh," says Tony McHugh, professor and chair of chemical engineering. "What makes her accomplishment so unusual is that she participated in two different research projects in the summers between her junior and senior years. In the first instance her work has led to the publication of a research paper, co-authored with the group at Cornell, showing that her involvement was one of strong ownership and responsibility. Most undergraduate research at any university is performed not only under theoretical and conceptual guidance of a faculty member, but also under laboratory guidance from graduate students. Kimberly's Lehigh education and research experience provided her the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to perform research at a level that far exceeds what one would normally expect from an undergraduate."
Kimberly's research experience extends beyond her work at Cornell. She has also performed research in the Biomaterials and Bionanotechnology Summer Institute at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center this past summer. And for the last year she has been gaining additional biomedical research experience in the laboratory of Samir Ghadiali, assistant professor in mechanical engineering and mechanics, and member of Lehigh's cross-disciplinary bioengineering program. In addition to her research accomplishments, Kimberly is vice president of the Lehigh University student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, a Rossin Junior Fellow, and a member of the Society of Women Engineers, Biomedical Engineering Society and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. –
The CSUN men's basketball program, led by second-year head coach Reggie Theus and All-Big West honorees Stephen Maxwell and Stephan Hicks, has been chosen to compete in the 2014 EA Sports Maui Invitational. The Matadors will compete in the Opening and Regional rounds of the tournament throughout November.
"We are excited and proud to be competing in the historic Maui Invitational," said CSUN Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Brandon E. Martin. "This is a prestigious event and we look forward to representing CSUN well."
CSUN will open the event with a road game at San Diego State on Friday, Nov. 14 at Viejas Arena in San Diego. From there the Matadors will head to Tucson, Ariz. to face the Arizona Wildcats on Sunday, Nov. 16. Both the Aztecs and Wildcats participated in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
Following the Opening Games portion of the Maui Invitational, the Matadors will join three other teams in a two-day event at Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock, Ark. The Regional Games will be hosted by UALR and will also feature Samford and Missouri-Kansas City.
CSUN will square off against Samford on Saturday, Nov. 22 and will face either UALR or UMKC the next day to conclude their involvement in the Maui Invitational. Game times and television schedules for the Matadors' four games during the event have yet to be determined.
The Matadors will play an exhibition at The Matadome against Cal State Dominguez Hills on Saturday, Nov. 8 before the start of the regular season. Matador Madness, CSUN's annual tipoff event for men's and women's basketball, is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 3.

By Melinda L. LarsonAmerican Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 11, 2007 Vice President Richard B. Cheney today remembered millions of veterans at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month at Arlington National Cemetery.
"More than 20 million of our fellow citizens bear the distinction of veteran," Vice President Richard B. Cheney said. "Each has his or her own story. But whether duty found them at home or abroad, in wartime or peacetime, they all share the pride of having served. And they have in common the memory of taking an oath and becoming part of something much larger than themselves."
Cheney delivered the ceremony's principal address to some 4,000 people at Arlington National Cemetery's Memorial Amphitheater just minutes after he laid a wreath at the nearby Tomb of the Unknowns. Cheney applauded the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, which provides the honor guard for the Tomb of the Unknowns.
"Also called the Old Guard, the 3rd Infantry is on watch here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of the weather," Cheney noted. "And they meet the same standards of precision and polish in the deep of night as they do at high noon. I thank the members of the Old Guard for upholding a proud American tradition with the greatest of skill and the utmost dignity."
While the Old Guard tends to Arlington every day of the year, dozens of veterans served as color guards on their special day to honor their fallen comrades.
"We're honoring the sacrifice of the veterans who wrote a blank check to their country. It's an honor to memorialize their service," said retired Navy Capt. Russell Vowinkel, who carried an American flag during the presentation of colors for the Military Order of the World Wars.
Cheney said he is more aware of the nation's debt to members of the armed forces and their families during this time of war.
"They are constantly in our thoughts," Cheney said. "Our gratitude extends to their loved ones, because military service is often a family commitment, and they, too, are giving up a lot for the good of our whole nation."
A mother in attendance whose son, U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Bruce W. Carter, was killed in Vietnam in 1969, works to make sure the country remembers her loss and the loss of countless other mothers.
"We keep their names alive. We won't forget them, and we won't let anyone else forget them," said Georgie Carter Krell, a past national president of American Gold Star Mothers, an organization for mothers who have lost sons or daughters in the service of their country.
Veterans who have returned to their communities never seem to lose the desire to serve their country, Cheney said.
"Anywhere you go in America, you find that veterans are the backbone of their communities –- always making a contribution, pitching in, providing leadership, and setting a good example for the young," he said.
Cheney made it clear that the nation owes its freedom to the men and women who have served their country. "They have kept us free in the land we call home –- free to live as we see fit, free to work and worship and speak our minds and choose our own leaders. All of this we owe to the men and women who have taken that oath to defend America, and may the rest of us never take them for granted."
The "Honoring All Who Served" Veterans Day ceremony ended with the audience joining the U.S. Army Band in a rendition of "God Bless America."
Veterans Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1919, to honor those who served in World War I. It was then called Armistice Day, marking the truce that ended the war on Nov. 11, 1918.

Las Cruces, NM – When the United States Senate passed their version of the financial rescue package Wednesday they also included clean energy tax incentives as part of the bill. The plan would extend tax credits for wind, solar and other renewable energy sources: most of which are set to expire at the end of the year. KRWG's Evan Woodward reports.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Opening Shot, Politics News
It seems clear by now that there's something about Mitt Romney that tends to turn off blue-collar and middle-class Republicans and to turn on rich ones.
In the first three nominating contests, there was a direct relationship between support for the former Massachusetts governor and income level. In South Carolina, for instance, Romney cleaned up among Republicans who make over $200,000 a year, crushing Newt Gingrich by 15 points. But Gingrich won by 20 points among those making between $30,000 and $50,000 and 16 points with those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 — margins that accounted for his 13-poiunt statewide victory.
The income gap was less apparent in Florida, where Romney posted a comfortable victory, but a recent Wall Street Journal review found that so far Romney has won 46 percent of counties where the median income is higher than the statewide figure — and just 15 percent of counties where it's lower.
Now, as the action shifts to the Rust Belt and to the South, this class divide looms as a potentially serious problem for Romney. Every recent poll shows him falling behind Rick Santorum in Michigan, where Republicans will vote on Feb. 28, and a survey released Wednesday also has him losing by 7 points in Ohio, whose primary will take place a week later. Crosstabs from the Ohio poll tell the story:
Likely GOP primary voters with incomes under $30,000
Santorum 35%
Gingrich 28%
Romney 27%
Santorum 51%
Romney 21%
Gingrich 20%
Santorum 36%
Romney 27%
Gingrich 15%
Romney 40%
Santorum 28%
Gingrich 22%
There seem to be two things going on here. One has to do with the lack of blue-collar enthusiasm for Romney, and the other has to do with those same voters' interest in Santorum. What's interesting is that there's no apparent policy-based explanation for either phenomenon. If anything, you might think that Romney's campaign platform would make him slightly more appealing to lower- and middle-income voters than Santorum, whose tax proposals are skewed to favor the wealthy and corporations even more than Romney's.
But the income divide in the GOP race isn't about policy. It's about identity. No matter how much he earnestly pitches himself as a middle-class crusader, everything about Romney — his income, his tax status, his lifetstyle, his upbringing, his education, his manner — reeks of privilege and refinement. This, and not his agenda, is what seems to be rubbing blue-collar Republicans the wrong way. Conversely, Santorum may technically be part of the 1 percent (as the tax returns he released Wednesday night confirmed), but his roots and his style are fundamentally middle-class.
So there's a paradox at work. Republican voters are generally hostile to class-based policy agendas; any attempt to draw attention to income inequality is typically dismissed as "class warfare." But class identity is a major factor in how they're voting this primary season. Because of this, tapping into resentment of Romney has required some rhetorical gymnastics from Santorum, who has gone out of his way to say he has no objections to how Romney made his fortune in private equity. Instead, he's raised Romney's wealth as a strategic matter:
"Having someone that wealthy–was it an issue? Was it an issue in John Kerry's campaign? It was," Santorum said, referring to Kerry's 2004 presidential bid. "That may be an issue with Governor Romney and his appeal to people. And I think that's something that should be considered by people as to what kind of appeal do they have, what kind of relationship do they have with the kind of voters we need to be able to be successful."
Maybe this logic resonates with some Republicans. But it's more likely that Santorum is tapping into deeper emotions. As Harold Meyerson explained this week:
Neither Santorum nor Romney will champion policies that could really help the white working class — the unionization of service-sector workers, say, or federal subsidies for strategic industries — but Santorum clearly feels its pain and summons the ghosts of religious and patriarchal orders that once regulated much of working-class life. Romney comes off as the guy who closed the plant, after which those orders collapsed in a heap.
Blue-collar Republicans are apparently fine with a top 1 percent message. But they don't seem to want a top 1 percent messenger. Finding artful ways to stoke that sentiment will be crucial for Santorum if he's going to weather the Romney advertising onslaught that's now underway.
