LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Argo" has been picking up steam the past several weeks and could ride the wave to a win for Best Picture at the Oscars this Sunday.
If it does, Ben Affleck would win an Oscar for producing the film, making up for his snub for Best Director. If Daniel Day-Lewis wins Best Actor for "Lincoln," he'll be the first to do so three times.
Lincoln director Steven Spielberg is also expected to win his third Oscar. Anne Hathaway's considered a shoo-in for Best Supporting Actress and Jennifer Lawrence looks like she'll be named Best Actress.

Following the four-game set this week, Creighton welcomes in South Dakota Sate for a single contest on Wednesday, March 20 at 4:00 p.m., then the Jays begin their Missouri Valley Conference schedule with three games at Evansville from March 22-24.
Jays vs. North Dakota
Creighton has a 5-2 series edge on North Dakota,
including a 16-3 victory on March 17, 2012. The first meeting between the two teams came in 1980 (a Bluejay win, 4-3). Coach Servais has a 3-2 mark versus North Dakota. Creighton took two of the three meetings between the two squads last season.
Just North Dakota
Transitioning from their former nickname, the Fighting Sioux, North Dakota does not presently use a moniker.
Scouting North Dakota (7-5-1)
Entering the game against Wichita State on Wednesday, March 13, North Dakota is 7-5-1 in 2013. The squad is in the midst of a 29-game road string as North Dakota will not play a home game until April 19. North Dakota will finish a stretch of six games in seven days against the
Bluejays on Thursday that began on Friday, March 8 with a three-series at Nebraska Omaha. North Dakota took two of three from the Mavericks.
North Dakota will likely use several pitchers against the Bluejays. This season North Dakota has used 11 pitchers, including six different starters.
Offensively the team is hitting a combined .260, led by
senior Kris Kwak, junior Patrick Riewer and sophomore Patrick Vandoorne. The two Patricks have a combined 21 hits in 66 at-bats, including five doubles. Kwak, meanwhile, leads North Dakota with 10 RBI in 2013.
Jays vs. Pacific
Creighton and Pacific have met four times previously, with the Jays holding a 3-1 advantage. The first meeting between the squads came in 1996, a 14-5 Creighton win. Last season the Jays traveled to Stockton, Calif. taking two-of-three from the host Tigers.
Scouting Pacific (5-10)
The Tigers wrap-up their season long 12-day road trip with three games against the Bluejays from March 15-17. Pacific opened the trip by taking one-of-three at TCU, then dropped a midweek game at Oklahoma State (11-3) on Tuesday, March 12.
Starting pitching is the strength of the Tigers, led by Saturday and Sunday starters Cory Popham and Michael Benson. Popham is 1-0 with a 2.25 and is holding opposing hitters to a .262 average. Benson, meanwhile is 2-0 (1.78 ERA) with a victory over
Arkansas this season (4-3 on March 3). Last season the Jays touched Bensen up for five runs in two
Offensively the Tigers are hitting .256 as a team, but sophomore Erik Lockwood and junior Jason
Taasaas can be formidable. Lockwood leads Pacific with a .383 average (18 hits in 47 at-bats), while Taasaas is the only other Tiger over .300 (.319).
Creighton vs. Pacific in 2012
March 9 W, 11-9
March 10 L, 3-9
March 11 W, 12-2

MALONE The corrections officer accused in October of attempting to smuggle drugs into prison has been forced to leave his position at the Franklin Correctional Facility.
Ricky J. Hance, 51, of Constable, was arrested Aug. 30 by state police and charged with official misconduct, second-degree receiving rewards for official misconduct, second-degree introduction of contraband in prison, first-degree prison contraband and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
He was accused of participating in a plot to smuggle suboxone tablets into the prison.
The charges were a collection of felonies and misdemeanors.
On Nov. 19, Mr. Hance pleaded guilty to official misconduct, a misdemeanor, under the condition that he would agree to resign from his job. He paid a $200 fine and $205 surcharge.
Franklin County District Attorney Derek Champagne said in September that Mr. Hance was allegedly paid $100 by an individual not incarcerated or working at the facility to deliver about 10 tablets and $50 to an inmate. He was arrested in the Kmart plaza in Malone without ever having brought the drugs to the prison.
Officials believed Mr. Hance had previously brought inmates items such as pencils, erasers and packages of coffee, Mr. Champagne said. The investigation turned serious when white pills and marijuana were discovered inside one of the coffee packets.
Its one of those that we think it was caught fairly early, Mr. Champagne said. He said this was one of the reasons Mr. Hance received the deal that he did.
The second reason was monetary.
It can cost the state upwards of $50,000 to terminate a corrections officer due to the protection of a labor union, according to Mr. Champagne. Securing Mr. Hances resignation saves a lot of money, the district attorney said.
After only five years as a state employee, Mr. Hance is not eligible to receive a state pension.
He began working as a corrections officer in June 2007; as of August 2013 he was receiving a base pay of $55,745.
In a situation in which a public official has put in the 25 years necessary to collect a pension, prosecutors can challenge the rewarding of the pension as long as the criminal offense leading to the resignation is a felony and is related to the officials public position under the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011.
The district attorney with jurisdiction over a corrupt public official can order the reduction or revocation of that persons pension in these cases.
The action can commence only within six months of a guilty plea to or conviction on the felony charges. Under the law, officers and employees of state departments count as public officials.

"I use Phase One because it's the best. I just can't afford not to." - David LaChapelle
The XF Camera System is built using full-frame Medium Format sensors 2.5 times larger than the ones found in high-end DSLRs. Sensors this large deliver a powerful combination of the highest possible resolution together with large, high dynamic range pixels and exceptional wide angular response. The XF is quite literally the best of all worlds when it comes to digital image quality.
The XF Camera System is available in multiple configurations, up to 80MP. Resolution this high not only delivers incredible detail but also provides creative flexibility, accommodating virtually any application requirement, be it print or digital.
Balancing colors is equal parts art and science. We have been working for over two decades to achieve perfection in colors across hardware and software, and the XF System is a direct reflection of that. You won't find better color depth or rendering than with an XF Camera System.
Using large sensor technology, the XF Camera System delivers unparalleled dynamic range, retaining unmatched detail in both highlights and shadows.
With our new and exclusive 80 megapixel imaging sensor, the XF Camera System delivers extreme long exposures of up to 60 minutes across 50MP, 60MP and 80MP configurations. An amazing creative tool, used by many of the world's leading photographers.
With compatibility for more than 60 lenses, the XF Camera System offers high-resolution lenses for all types of professional applications.
Our Leaf Shutter lenses are designed together with world-renowned optics manufacturer, Schneider Kreuznach of Germany. Building on decades of experience in high-resolution optics and precision manufacturing, the Leaf Shutter lenses are some of the sharpest lenses in the world, built for todays systems as well as the future
The XF Camera System is made to use lenses offering breath-taking bokeh and dramatically shallow depth of field. Not only that, but the perspective retention and visual impression of a medium format capture is head and shoulders above smaller sensor photography. When you see it, you know.
Phase One lenses are designed to resolve well beyond the high-resolution medium format sensors of the XF System. Using large sensors, large pixels and optics prepared to scale, the range of Schneider Kreuznach Leaf Shutter lenses is already capable of going beyond 100MP resolution.
With an integrated Leaf Shutter, the Phase one Schneider Kreuznach lens range delivers industry leading flash synchronization speed of up to 1/1600th of a second. Photographers can overpower the sun and gain complete control over ambient light using flash, in order to perfectly freeze motion or create beautiful lighting effects
The Phase One Focal plane lens range is designed to deliver clean optical performance together with fast apertures, at the lowest possible weight. For photographers needing outstanding image quality, easy portability, rugged design and fastest capture response of all available the lenses, the focal plane range is an ideal choice
In addition to our range of fixed-focal length prime lenses, the XF camera is compatible with both Focal Plane and Schneider Kreuznach Leaf Shutter Zoom lenses, delivering optical performance that rivals equivalent focal length primes. For those photographers that require tilt or shift lens movement, the Schneider Kreuznach TS is a go-to choice
Being the first to embrace new technology and integrate a touch based user interface to a digital back, we are proud to continue the tradition with the XF Camera System. We call it the OneTouch UI.
The OneTouch UI on the XF camera is a seamless combination of intuitive dials, keys and touch screen interactions. Each operation is used only where it makes sense and where you want it. OneTouch UI is designed with the goal of making controls so simple that photographers will feel at home within moments of getting started.
The XF camera can be operated either from the camera itself or from a tethered computer. To achieve this, we have removed all hard-coded button functionality including any physical markings on the camera. This allows complete freedom to configure the systems controls to best fit your individual needs.
Two separate, yet fully integrated, touch displays are now available on the XF Camera System. The 1.6" grip screen is designed for clear visibility in any lighting condition using a transflective capacitive touch display. The back screen is a retina touch screen designed to show high-quality image previews, providing the ability to zoom to 100% with a simple tap. With 3.2" inch there is ample space to compose and review, as well as operate advanced tools.
As if the brightest full frame prism viewfinder wasn't enough. Make room for a re-born classic!
The waist-level finder is convenient for many styles of photography, be it in studio or on location. With the ability to retain the connection between photographer and model or simply to attain a more effective working position, the waist-level finder is a great addition to the creative toolbox.
Light metering is typically done through a cameras Prism viewfinder, a challenge that until now hasn't been solved in a waist-level finder. The XF Camera System can measure the light on the newly designed HAP-1 autofocus platform. Using this ability, light metering is now available with our waist-level finder. Issue solved.
With a solid glass prism, the 90° viewfinder is the brightest of its kind and has virtually no loss of light. Together with nearly 100% frame coverage, the prism viewfinder displays a perfect view of the scene and comes standard on all XF Camera Systems.
The XF Camera System marks an important milestone for Phase One. It is the introduction of a new patent pending and fully controlled in-house autofocus system. The Honeybee Autofocus Platform, or HAP-1.
HAP-1 is designed with a brand new custom processor, coupled with a high-resolution CMOS AF sensor. Combining a unique floating-point architecture and a fully programmable interface, HAP-1 is easy to expand and will allow us to continuously tailor the autofocus system to meet your needs, providing user-accessible software updates for years to come.
The initial configuration of HAP-1 is built for precision in typical professional environments. Using a new white spectrum focus assist light and Phase One developed focusing patterns; Auto Focus is more accurate than ever, right out of the gate.
When photographers require the maximum allowable depth of field, the optimal technique used is to apply a hyperfocal distance measurement. Depending on aperture and lens used, the optimal Focus Point is typically a few steps under infinity. With the new Hyperfocal Point Focusing, it is now possible to set the ideal Hyperfocal Point for each lens and have HAP-1 automatically return to that specific point on demand.
We've built a new version of Capture One PRO for XF, offering deeper integration, better image quality and faster performance than ever before
When it comes to image quality, Capture One PRO is an important ingredient that distinguishes Phase One Systems from the rest. Our hardware and software teams have worked closer than ever to perfectly develop the IIQ RAW file, allowing all elements to play in perfect harmony. Images have never looked more natural and pleasing.
Rendering images in Capture One PRO at the exact moment of capture, using a USB 3.0 tethered connection, is the preferred workflow for many industry-leading photographers. You instantly see your vision become a reality on screen. With the Phase One XF System and Capture One PRO 8.3, we are raising the bar for tethered workflow and camera communication.
The new OneTouch UI on the XF Camera System can be configured directly from within Capture One PRO. This makes it easy to change, customize and configure controls for any type of photography, directly from your computer – a blessing for you and your digital assistant.
Better. Faster. Stronger.
Phase One Systems have been used for decades in some of the most demanding professional and aerial applications. With the XF Camera System we have upgraded all moving parts and materials to match that level of professional demand, delivering the fastest, most robust and most reliable camera ever.
The XF introduces an all-new electronic architecture. Designed in-house by Phase One, the XF is built using faster processors, newly designed sensor advancements, including gyroscopic sensors and accelerometers, and an integrated wireless Profoto flash trigger.
One of the most important elements of great photography is timing. With the latest iteration on mechanics introduced with the XF Camera System, we have significantly reduced shutter latency and shutter recycle time, making it our most responsive camera ever.
Freedom of choice. Easy to upgrade. Value that lasts.
While most photographers are familiar with interchangeable lenses, the XF System takes modularity a significant step further. Camera body, viewfinder and digital back are all interchangeable, providing options to match the particular needs of a photographer, shoot or workflow.
With the brand new range of IQ3 Digital Backs, together with the previous IQ range of Digital Backs, it is possible to find a XF Camera System that fits your exact needs. Click on "explore configurations" to find information on XF System configurations.
A benefit of modularity is photographer's ability to easily upgrade a single component at a time. With a modular design there is no need to discard a perfectly good system only to gain features related to the camera body. The XF camera body is fully compatible with previous generation IQ Digital Backs, allowing existing IQ customers to easily access the new XF camera platform.
The XF Camera System is compatible with all generations of IQ Digital Backs. We already prepared the IQ2 range of Digital Backs for the XF Camera System, so they get almost full access to the same features as the IQ3 range, simply by applying a firmware upgrade. The IQ1 range of Digital Backs gains access to the same level of functionality as they have on current systems, but with the many added benefits of the XF Camera Body, such as improved speed, reliability, sensors and autofocus.
Contrary to most camera systems, we do not design our systems as short-lived disposables. We build camera platforms on which photographers can extend, build, exchange and grow throughout their career.
The software running on the XF is designed as an independent and upgradeable operating system. This allows for easy and fast upgrades, providing both new features and unique customization. By using our new Camera OS, photographers will be able to upgrade their XF System at regular intervals in order to benefit from the new opportunities of technology.
HAP-1 is designed with a brand a new custom processor, coupled with an independent high-resolution CMOS AF sensor. Combining a unique floating-point architecture and a fully programmable interface, HAP-1 is easy to expand and will allow us to continuously tailor the autofocus system and release user-accessible software updates for years to come.
The XF Camera System is founded on modern hardware and an open platform philosophy, allowing us to continuously add new upgrades in accordance with the changing pace of technology. Additionally, other manufacturers can interface with each individual component so we can offer photographers with a future proof platform.
When we say that our product life cycles are long, it's a proven fact. Customers, who invested in Phase One P backs in 2004, have received additional functionality as late as in 2014, from both Firmware upgrades and Capture One processing software.
Phase One offers the best in-class support, promising our hardware users a response from the globally positioned support team within 8 hours, regardless of location and no matter what the concern."We promise to respond within 8 hours. But typically, that is 7 hours more than we need" – Ulf Liljegren, Phase One Support Manager

Exclusive to Phase One, we provide you with a worry free 5-year uptime guarantee. This guarantee provides you access to loan equipment should you need to send us your system for any reason, as well as on site service should it be necessary.

10/4 Cubs promote Rehman
The Cubs promoted Shiraz Rehman to assistant general manager, reporting to general manager Jed Hoyer, on Thursday. The team now will have two assistant GMs in Rehman and Randy Bush, who will continue to serve in the role he has held since December 2006. Rehman, 34, joined the Cubs in November as assistant to the general manager after six seasons with the Diamondbacks, where he was director of player personnel. He also held the titles of director of baseball operations (2009-10) and manager of baseball operations (2007-08) after joining the D-backs as a baseball operations assistant in December 2005.

They would make a good team. Makes sense. For some reason I would think Stony wouldn't mind a change of scenery away from the brutally juvenile Hawk….He gone!?!?!???
I have no reason not to trust you Mamma however I still believe that THIS organization (not boston) is soooooo deep in a sad roster set in place by the previous, overmatched GM that Theo (even if as arrogant as you claim) should be given some space and time to put in motion what he claims he can do. Besides, maybe a smartGM that is ARROGANT is better than an inept GM that is CUDDLY. I for one am going to kick back and enjoy Theo's "first" offseason. I don't count last winter as it wasn't his own team yet….NOW, it will get that much more interesting. It sounds like you have some inside dope? I believe you, just holding on to the benefit of the doubt for at least another couple of years.

Gallery of Solar Power Systems for Commercial and Government
Today, there are more ways than ever before to finance the solar project for your business or organization. SolarWorld Financial Solutions can help you determine which is the best option for your project since there simply isn't a "one size fits all" answer. With the partnerships that we have pre-established, our finance experts can help you:
For a credit-worthy customer, we can arrange for a financing option that requires little or no money upfront. In many cases, the right financing option can also become cash flow positive, meaning that the energy savings and tax benefits would be worth more to the system owner than the payment cost. This essentially allows you to acquire your own "power plant" with money that otherwise would have gone out to the utility company or been paid in income taxes.
Discover the various financing options for solar panels for businesses big and small
* If paying or can pay property taxes
A Capital Lease can spread the costs over a 7 to 10-year term, just like a loan or mortgage, but unlike a loan there is no down payment required. Also like a loan, the tax benefits of ownership; including the 30% Investment Tax Credit, depreciation and the interest component of the lease payments, stay with the Lessee.
For a company or individuals that are paying taxes, the combination of energy savings and tax benefits can pay most, or even all, of the cost to install the solar PV system and once the Lease is paid off, the commercial entity can enjoy an additional 20 plus years of "free" energy.
This solar financing option has several appealing advantages for traditional and non-profit organizations, however, they typically bring the most value to for-profit businesses with taxable income.

With an operating lease, the tax benefits are taken by the Lessor and much of their value passed back in the form of lower lease payments. All things being equal, expect an Operating Lease quote to be at least 30% less than a Capital Lease. For companies without much need for tax credits or deductions, an Operating Lease may be the best alternative.
Unlike a Capital Lease with a fixed purchase price at the end of the lease term, an Operating Lease requires a certain element of "fair market value" as to the end of lease purchase. Since the commercial entity will no doubt want to buy the system once the tax benefits are complete, we will work to ensure there are one or more purchase options that combine flexibility and fairness
Features of solar operating leases:
A Power Purchase Agreement is a long term agreement where the business or organization agrees to purchase all of the electricity generated by a solar system at a contracted rate. The PPA provider installs, maintains, and operates the solar system – the commercial entity only pays for the power that is generated and usually at a small discount from what is charged by the current utility company.
A PPA can be a low risk option to finance a system and due to some vagaries in the Tax Code, the ONLY way for a non-profit or governmental entity to receive an indirect advantage from the tax benefits for solar PV. For commercial businesses looking for the highest possible return on investment, one of the other previously mentioned options is often a better choice as the system is paid off sooner. Also, due to the complexities and ongoing monitoring involved, most PPA funders will only consider projects that cost at least $300,000 and prefer ones much larger than that.
Typical Features of Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs):
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) funding is provided by a city or county and is repaid through a special property tax assessment over a term of up to 20 years. PACE for commercial projects has been authorized in 31 U.S. states and about a dozen currently have funding programs in place. New PACE programs are being launched each month so check with us for the latest update in your area.
Like a Capital Lease, tax benefits or other incentives remain with the property owner. Unlike a lease or loan, however, the credit decision is primarily based on having a reasonable amount of equity in the building or property where the solar PV system will be located.
Features of PACE:
SolarWorld has experience helping government and municipal organizations reduce their operating expenses associated with utility bills by going solar. A qualified "tax exempt" Municipal Lease financing typically provides very low interest rates over a 15 to 20 year financing term. Given the costs to underwrite a Municipal Lease, however, this generally means that the total project should be $1 million or more.

The anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre marks a year full of unanswered questions about why someone murdered 27 people, including 20 young children and six school administrators.
During that time, some schools have made some big changes to their security systems, and others have practiced lockdown drills. Above all, teachers have strived to make their students feel as safe as possible.
Last Dec. 14, 20-year-old Adam Lanza walked into the Newtown, Conn. school and killed 20 students and six educators with semiautomatic rifles before he committed suicide at the school. He shot his mother to death at their Newtown home beforehand.
All of the children killed were 6 or 7 years old.
Unfortunately, the Sandy Hook tragedy wasnt the first in an American school.
Ive been in an administrative role for many years, and I wish I could say it was the first time I heard of something like this happening or the first time I faced these feelings, said Terry N. Fralick, superintendent of the Watertown City School District. It was harder to hear about it because the students were so young.
Mr. Fralick said that over the course of his career he has had to try to explain other attacks, such as the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, when two seniors killed 12 students and a faculty member in Littleton, Colo. Such violence, as well as the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, brought a new emphasis on security measures, and lockdown drills were put in place.
Theres just no way to make sense of it, Mr. Fralick said.
In the aftermath of Sandy Hook, there were calls for gun reform. People wanted an answer as to why and someone to blame.
When the news first broke there was clearly a sense of tragedy and more news kept coming in, Lowville Central School Superintendent Cheryl R. Steckly said. It was such a terrible event its hard to think about how that affected the school and really the whole community.
At Canton Central School, Superintendent William A. Gregory said the events at Sandy Hook had a direct impact on the districts safety plan.
Before Sandy Hook we had no prohibitions for people coming to campus, Mr. Gregory said. After Sandy Hook we limited access to our campus to three main entrances.
He said the change represented a big cultural shift for the district and accelerated implementation of a capital improvement project to upgrade security.
We had the new security system in within weeks, Mr. Gregory said. Theres a camera outside of the doors, and to get in visitors have to press a button and identify why theyre here.
Mrs. Steckly said the districts safety procedures at Lowville were strong, limiting access to the campus through locked doors and a buzzer system, but there was a need to reassure district members and students.
It really put us on a higher level of concern. We certainly have more awareness and alertness to being safe, Mrs. Steckly said. We felt our security systems were adequate; we just wanted to make sure we were vigilant with our training.
Initially local law enforcement made their presence felt at the districts school by parking a police vehicle at schools in the morning and increasing the number of times they drove around the school, Mrs. Steckly said.
It was mostly to make people feel more comfortable, Mrs. Steckly said.
The security system at Lowville Central School includes limited access to the school. Visitors must be buzzed in and register at the office.
Mrs. Steckly said that after Sandy Hook, it wasnt just about increasing security, but also about making sure to address fears people felt.
It was such a terrible event, its hard to imagine how it affected the whole community, not just the school, Mrs. Steckly said.
Meredith A. Connell, a sixth-grade teacher at General Brown Central School, said many of her students had an idea of what happened but there was a lot of uncertainty.
There were a lot of questions. Some were quick answers of what to do in that situation and what to do next, and then the not-so-quick questions like why did this happen, Mrs. Connell said.
As a teacher, Mrs. Connell directed many of the deeper questions back to the students families.
Parents know whats best for their children and have experience with how much their kid can understand and how to talk to them, Mrs. Connell.
Canton Elementary School Principal Joseph D. McDonough said that though the students had more and more questions after Sandy Hook, school officials worked to reassure the students they were safe and also fielded questions from the parents.
It was a very emotional time, and there was so much coverage of what happened, we made a conscious effort to not be the bearers of information for the kids, Mr. McDonough said. Overall, the important message was to make kids feel safe.
As a parent, Mrs. Connell said her sons Gabriel and Shawn had different understanding of what happened.
Gabriel was in the fifth grade. He knew what happened, he knew that kids had died and that hit him a lot. He was worried about everyone else, especially his little brother, who was in pre-kindergarten, Mrs. Connell said. Shawn, my 4-year-old, said, Mommy I dont understand. I had to tell him that someone made a bad decision and hurt other little boys and girls.
Lara T. Abreu, the mother of two young Sherman Elementary School students, Sienna, 9, and Luca, 7, said immediately following the massacre her children didnt really talk about it.
Our kids were so young, we tried to have an open discussion about questions they had, but we didnt talk in depth about what exactly happened, Mrs. Abreu said.
It wasnt until emergency drills were held at the school did Mrs. Abreu notice the difference in how her children interpreted the incident.
(Luca) was almost looking at it like an act during the day. My daughter, on the other hand, asked why we do this and what we do if a shooter comes into school, Mrs. Abreu said. They wanted to know why there was more security at the schools.
Mr. McDonough said after security changes were implemented at Canton the students and staff adjusted to the changes well.
It becomes a new reality, I dont think people think about it as much; its just how things are run, Mr. McDonough said.
Mrs. Abreu said although there are still many more questions than answers, her children and others in the north country have a good support system in their schools.
We had to say there are some bad people in the world and try to explain why they want to exit the world by doing damage to other people, Mrs. Abreu said. This was a very unpredictable phenomenon; I think there was very little anyone could have done to stop it. I personally disagree with the blame thing aside from the shooter.

- § 153. Appointment of judges
Historical and Revision Notes
In connection with its maritime police, promoting safety of life and property at sea, and aiding navigation functions, the Coast Guard frequently finds it advisable to utilize the services of other agencies and correlatively, frequently finds its facilities useful to other agencies. This high degree of cooperation, a natural attribute of a producing and servicing agency, is important not only because it greatly promotes the quantity and quality of the services performed, but because the concentration of these functions in one agency results in savings to the Government of man-power, funds, and equipment. In the belief that legislative recognition of and specific power to continue this needed cooperation are desirable, Chapter 7 of this title contains a group of sections on cooperation with designated agencies. This is not meant to be a complete listing of cooperating agencies, but rather the designation of the principal ones. In addition, the first section of the chapter deals with availability of Coast Guard personnel and facilities to other agencies and the availability of other agency personnel and facilities to the Coast Guard. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

I ♥ Budapest
Historic Budapest
The Budapest we know today is a city with a long history. The area of the capital has been inhabited for thousands of years. Around the 3rd century BC the Romans conquered the city and since then the Hungarian capital has had a long and eventful history. Budapest is a truly admirable capital and is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, that is the second oldest line in the world. The city attracts about 2.3 million tourists each year. The Budapest we know today is a good mix of historic buildings and modern architecture.
Budapest Events
Budapest is a very lively city with a lot of festivals and events going on during the year. Each year in a row is becoming more and more interesting for the cultural explorer. Our Budapest Event Calendar contains a careful selection of the most prominent Budapest Events for the year. To cover all fields of interests, we have included the following topics in our list: Cultural Events, Classical Music and Popular Music Concerts, Festivals, Events at the Budapest Museums and Spas, Sport Events as well as Fairs and Exhibitions. In each of these topics a short introduction will be given, followed by a list of upcoming events for young and old.
Budapest Sightseeing Tours
The Hungarian capital has a lot to offer, and yes, you can visit all the individual sights all by yourself. But isn't it just more interesting if you get some additional information about the buildings or sights history? Or just to get some details you would never have noticed without a professional guide… That's why we have selected a few of the most interesting sightseeing tours. No matter what your personal interest is, you will find a suitable tour just fit for you. The tours we offer are selected from variable experiences and reliable local tour operators, just to make sure that you get the best possible service while you are in Hungary.
Budapest Services
You have booked your flight and hotel chamber successfully, now you are all set for your stay in Budapest one could say. Still there are other arrangements worthwhile considering…
The chosen hotel to reside at can pre-arrange airport transfers, order a taxi or rent a car at a lower cost due to its advance booking. Another advantageous service is the Budapest Card which offers a discount on the majority of the tourist attractions, including free public transport and travel insurance.
Museums and Galleries
At this moment Budapest counts about 60 permanent museum; museum lovers will certainly find a suitable museum for their interest.
Whether you are visiting Budapest for a few days or for a longer period it has for each of you a range of museums and galleries to offer. Budapest has some big museums offering large-scale exhibitions yet there are a good number of smaller, more intimate museums, too. Museums of modern art, contemporary art, open-air museums, name it and Budapest has one or more of these kinds of venues to visit. The Aquincum for example is a real must. A visit to the Hungarian National Gallery is highly recommended.
Theatres and Concert Halls
Often the performances alone promise a memorable experience because Hungarian international stars, singers and violinists who give them all of this are mostly graduates of the Metropolitan Music Academy. Composers such as Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and Franz Liszt have helped to shape Europe's and the world's music life and teaching methods. Budapest's concert halls are always bustling with life, as artists from all over the world perform here regularly. Besides this, outdoor musical performances also deserve a special entry.
Budapest holds the title "City of Spas" since the year 1934, as it has more thermal and medicinal water springs than any other capital city in the world. There are 118 springs in Budapest, providing over 70 million liters of thermal water a day. The temperature of the waters is between 21 and 78 degrees Celsius. The Romans enjoyed Budapest's thermal waters as early as the 2nd century, but it was only during the Turkish occupation of Hungary in the 16th century that the bath culture really started flourishing.
Today, there are 15 public thermal baths in Budapest; they are very popular with young people from all over the world.
The Catholic Church in Hungary is a part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the leadership of the Pope. The major part of the Hungarian inhabitants are catholic. Budapest has a whole collection of churches and religious buildings like the St Stephen's Basilica and the Great Synagogue.
The St Stephens Basilica was named after the country's first king, St Stephen. It dominates the city skyline and can be seen from most parts of Budapest. The Great Synagogue on the other hand is a non-Christian church; it is the largest synagogue in Europe. During World War two this building was used as a detention centre.
Restaurants & Bars
If you think of Hungarian food, the first word that comes into your mind is probably goulash (or Gulyás in Hungrian) but the nations cuisine is much more than this dish. The traditional Hungarian cuisine is among the best and richest in Europe. Budapest has hundreds of traditional Hungarian restaurants that offer tasty food, often accompanied by traditional Gipsy musicians, who come to your table to play Hungarian tunes directly into your ear.
These days every type of cuisine is available in Budapest, so there is a great selection of Italian, French, Chinese and even Mongolian restaurants in the city.
Budapest has several big shopping streets; one of the most important of not the most important shopping areas is the Váci utca and her side streets. In this area you will find the well-known brands such as Salamander, Reebok and marks & Spencer's. In these shops the articles are generally cheaper then in the West-European countries.

SMITHFIELD – More than anything, Cumberland High sophomore Amy Laverty wanted to team with her harrier friends and upset fellow powerhouse Smithfield to claim a most elusive Northern Division championship.
The Sentinels, however, provided too much depth in this "Battle of Unbeatens," and closed the season with a perfect 11-0 mark after edging the gutsy Clippers, 24-34, at Deerfield Park on Tuesday afternoon.
Laverty certainly did her part as she covered the 3.1-mile trail in 19:59, but Smithfield garnered five of the next seven spots to not only defeat Cumberland but also Mount St. Charles (15-41) to win its fifth divisional crown over the last six years.
"I'm happy with my time; I felt good, pretty smooth, but I felt we were going pretty slow at the beginning of the race," Laverty stated. "I was in a pack at the mile mark, and we were at 6:25. I like to be at about six minutes at that point, so I decided to pick up the pace the last two miles.
"I knew at the start the Smithfield girls would come out with me and try to force the pace, but I wanted to run my own race; I wanted to dictate what was going to happen."
When asked if being victorious provided her any consolation, Laverty shook her head, "No. I'd rather have the team win than myself. Then again, I wanted to win because I knew it would help our team."
Junior Stephanie Mattson led the Sentinels, taking second 11 ticks behind Laverty, while CHS junior Meaghan Scullin placed third in 20:30. After that, though, SHS swept the next four places, with classmate Rebecca Meinertz snagging fourth (20:37); freshman Sydney Magus fifth (20:50); and juniors Madison Saliba and Genessee Daley sixth and seventh (with respective clockings of 21:06 and 21:09).
Cumberland's remaining point scorers included junior Nichole Barger in eighth, senior Ashley Bricault 11th and Kerry Connolly 13th, but it nevertheless closed its campaign at 10-1.
"They ran their hearts out, and that's all I wanted," noted Clippers' veteran chief Joyce Bonner, who brought most of her girls to the Maine Festival of Champions on Saturday. "All but two had personal records in Maine, and to think they were going to come back three days later and do the same here, it wasn't going to happen. We went to Maine to get them experience, and we more than did that.
"Meaghan Scullin had a PR in Maine at 20:27 (over the same distance), and she went 20:30 here, so that's pretty darn good," she added. "Barger was 20:30 (up north), and she went 21:11 (on Tuesday), but that former time was her best by over a minute.
"Naturally, I don't like losing, but I don't feel badly. The girls ran well, and nobody gave up. You know what? It's a long season, and the championship meets are coming up; those are the ones that really matter. Smithfield's a great team, and they have a lot of quality."
Offered Sentinels' head coach John Marchand: "We wanted to focus on running our own race. We knew Laverty's a great runner, but I also knew that Cumberland had raced in Maine this weekend. I saw us run a very controlled first mile at about 6:26, but the girls did what they had to the final two miles. Our quality depth really helped us. A lot of them ran faster times than they did here back on Sept. 16.
"I still have to tip my hat to Laverty, as she's a fantastic runner," he continued. "We weren't conceding anything; I though Steph had a shot at beating her. Still, in a perfect world, Amy's a bit faster."
As for the Mounties, who dropped both decisions to the hosts (15-48) and Clippers (17-44), senior Megan Corbeil hustled the course in a team-best 21:19, good for ninth, while sophomore Maddi Charbonneau placed 14th in 22:25 and Jada Wilbanks 26th in 25:01.
"Megan should make All-Division, and Maddi will probably be on the bubble," stated MSC girls' coach Cliff Matthews, whose squad finished at 5-6 on the season. "The kids ran intelligent races. We gave them targets to chase, with Megan and Maddi focusing on the middle of the Cumberland and Smithfield packs. I figured Megan had a shot to finish seventh but no worse than 10th, and she took ninth. She ran a very good time."

Judkins returns to the Creighton coaching staff for his second season in 2014. This season he takes on the role of volunteer assistant coach after serving as the Bluejays' undergraduate assistant in 2013.
Judkins joined Creighton's coaching staff after two strong seasons as a player for the Bluejays. Nick appeared in a combined 119 games over two seasons at Creighton, including 118 starts. As a senior in 2012, he led Creighton with a .313 batting average and 71 hits. He delivered a combined 51 RBI and smacked 26 extra-base hits for the Bluejays. Following the 2012 season, Judkins earned the Rawlings Gold Glove and was selected to the All-MVC Defensive Team at first base. Judkins closed 2012 with a .998 fielding percentage, committing just one error in 650 chances.
Judkins led the Bluejays to MVC Tournament Championships in both 2012 and 2011, earning the automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Before coming to Creighton, Judkins spent two seasons at Iowa Central Community College. As a Triton, Judkins set the Iowa Central CC single-season records for batting average (.475), hits (104), RBI (84), on-base percentage (.549) and games started (67). He also holds Iowa Central CC career records for batting average (.421), hits (169) and doubles (38). In addition, he earned third team All-America honors and a Gold Glove.
Servais on Judkins:
"I've always wanted to have a former player on our staff and over the past two seasons we've been fortune to have both Nick Judkins and Shane Liska last year. Nick understands what it takes to be successful and he can share that with the players. He is growing as a young coach, he is fun to be around, and he is learning quickly. I believe he has a bright future as a coach. This season he'll continue to coach first and work with the outfielders."

Now here are answers to some of the questions, which often appears in mind of Java programming aspiring to do certification?
Does Java Certification help you to land a Job?
Does Certification like OCJP, OCPJP, or others helps to get better offers, promotion and salary hike?Yes, they do. In fact this is the most tried and tested way of getting to higher salary in quick time. I have seen this in my career that if you get certified while working in a company, of-course with a respected percentage, , you are more likely to get a better raise and promotion than your peers. Yes, this can't be just certification, but we are considering the fact that you are also performing well in your job as your peers. Since Java certified professional tends to perform better in Java interviews, they almost always has multiple offers to choose from, and this gives them confidence to demand better salary in next interview. Remember, more than anything it's confidence that help when asking for a salary which is above market standard, of-course that must be backed by your solid resume, and great interview as well. In short, Java certifications helps at both places.
Should I go for Oracle Java Certifications like OCAJP and OCPJP for Java SE 7?Well, my default answer is always Yes for certifications, at least they helps you to learn a lot about Java language in very shot span of time. If you are experienced or senior Java developer, already having solid experience in a particular domain e.g. FIX based electronic trading of Front office Investment banking, than its just a personal choice. Java certifications helps immensely during start of career, and it is must for those who are not from very good institution and doesn't have a top class degree. For those IT professional, Java certifications can be a great tool to get a Job and progress further. So yes, if you are graduating from college and has just started your career as Java developer, it's a wise decision to get certified and learn subtle details of Java programming language.
Another question, which I have kept receiving in my inbox is whether you need to pass OCAJP 7 before taking OCPJP 7 ( Java Certification for SE 7) or not, I have already answered them on that blog post. Do check if you have same doubt.
Resources and Study Material to Prepare for Java CertificationsMany of my readers requested to share study materials and resources to prepare for Java Certifications. I am planning to do it on another blog post, but here are some of the most essential resources you need to score good in SCJP
1) Buy one book which is updated with latest syllabus of OCA or OCPJP 7, depending upon which exam you are going to take. I have suggest Couple of good books to help with new Oracle Java Certification, on my earlier post 2 Books to Prepare Oracle Java SE 7 exams. It also included books for SCJP 6, but I suggest to go for latest exam, there is no point upgrading to a Java version for which even Oracle has stopped supporting. I expect a drastic change in Java certification after release of Java 8 because of introduction of lambda expression, Streams, Functional interfaces and many more language and API changes. So if you want to get certified soon for whatever reason, this is the right time.
2) Buy an Exam Simulator like Whizlabs
There are lots of free and paid exam simulator available over internet, but I am big fan of Whizlabs simulators, because of there quality. They explain every question in depth, not only right options but also incorrect options. In my experience, there mock exams are also very close to real OCPJP 7 exam, in terms of patterns, types of questions, syllabus and difficulty level. If you can spend some money than that's worth buying. You will learn every bit of money spent.
That's all on this post about whether Java certifications (SCJP, OCJP, or OCPJP) helps in Job Interviews and career. Do let me know if you have any other question, I will be happy to answer them here, alternative you can also share your experience as certified Java developer and how it benefited your career. Take away is, Java certifications never do any harm, they always add value in your resume and in your knowledge, but at same time, you need to invest money and time on them. For freshers and junior Java developers, I highly recommend to do latest Java certification available i.e. OCAJP and OCPJP for Java SE 7.

Additional Information
Exceptional durability, a masculine-looking design and comfort... all of those facets have been integrated into this Rocky Core work shoe. Having a blend of full-grain leather and nylon is ideal for this work footwear. You'll appreciate the leather for its hardiness yet like that the softness of the material makes these men's shoes incredibly comfortable to wear. The nylon has outstanding strength -it is 900 Denier- but it also provides excellent breathability into this footwear. You'll recognize the value of having the rubber on the back of these leather work shoes straightaway; it is incredibly beneficial, because it protects the shoes against abrasions.
The padded collar does a fine job at providing comfort and prevents the back of these work shoes from digging into your legs. Assembling these brown work shoes with a lace-up design was imperative; having this feature allows you to adjust how tight or loose you would like the shoelaces to be, which in turn allows you to have total control over how these work shoes fit.
Rocky waterproof construction is arguably one of the best aspects to have incorporated into your work footwear. Its waterproof guarantee provides assurance; when you are lacing up these work shoes in the morning, you'll know that the interior is going to stay dry and that provides peace of mind.
Goodyear welt outsole construction ensures that these Rocky Core work shoes will have superior durability, it strengthens the footwear's structure and it allows you to take the outsole to a shoe repairman (once it has worn down) and have it completely replaced. The outsole has been crafted from a blend of polyurethane and rubber, which allows it to be comfortable yet highly durable.
If you are looking non-steel toe work footwear, you'll be impressed with this ruggedly-handsome Rocky Core Waterproof Work Shoe (#2545), because of its durability and ability to keep your feet comfortable.

The big red continues to expand its horizons evermore with each passing day. This time the target for Vodafone's rapid expansion plan is TIM Brasil. TIM Brasil is a unit of Telecom Italia and is one of the four companies that ply in the Latin American country where 80% of the total 190 million population keep a mobile phone in hand. This comes in the wake of acquisitions by Telefonica, a Spanish wireless carrier and Portugal Telecom in the Brazilian market. Telecommunications over the years has become one of the more dynamic industries in the fast-growing Brazilian economy in the past one year. This has happened as a direct result of the resilience of the job market and a steadily growing total family income. A trend has emerged amongst the bigger groups who are now gradually acquiring the smaller rivals in order to integrate services and monopolize services like pay-TV and Internet connections
According to a local newspaper, that goes by the name, O Estado de Sao Paulo, Vodafone held negotiations with Telefonica, a company holding an indirect stake in the parent unit Telecom Italia. The Spanish company Telefonica has a stake in Telco, a consortium that has a 24.5% stake in Telecom Italia.
Recently there was a report that Telefonica were looking to acquire a local service provider Vivo and in the process the local regulatory board intended to force them to let go of their stake in TIM Brasil to avoid a clash of interests. Vodafone in turn intend to acquire this very stake in TIM Brasil. A complicated process is involved in the matter and experts believe that the deal will eventually fail to materialize but reports in the press believe the deal will be in place soon. If this is true, then the largest telecom company in the world might just be that bit larger soon.

YIELD: Makes 16 brownies
TIME: Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes
- 1/3 cup almond flour, homemade or store-bought
- 1/3 cup brown rice flour
- 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (68 to 72% cacao content), chopped
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 organic eggs
- 1/3 cup Grade B maple syrup
- 1/3 cup maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional), toasted
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan (see note) with two pieces of foil long enough to overlap on all four sides. Lightly oil the foil.
Put the almond flour, brown rice flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and stir with a whisk to combine.
Put half of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring often, just until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and whisk in the olive oil.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until frothy. Slowly add the maple syrup and maple sugar, whisking all the while, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla extract, then gradually add the chocolate, whisking vigorously all the while, and continue whisking until smooth and glossy.
Add the flour mixture and beat for about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining chocolate and the walnuts. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool to room temperature in the pan, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 brownies.
Cook's Note:
You can also use a 9 by 6-inch baking pan. If you do, the baking time will be only about 25 minutes.
Variation: For brownies that are more fudgy, replace the rice flour with another 1/3 cup of almond flour.
Who Knew? Cacao content is the amount of pure cacao products (chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder) used in the chocolate; the higher the percentage, the more antioxidants the chocolate contains. And if you're into addition by subtraction, higher cacao percentages mean lower sugar content.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Dr. Marianna Koczywas's Ratings
Dr. Koczywas and her nurse practitioner, Cindy Kelly, are an incredible team. I was diagnosed with Stage 3b lung cancer w/very poor prognosis. At 48, I wasn't willing to accept this & was fortunate enough to find Dr. K. at the City of Hope. Due to the phase I clinical trial developed by Dr. K. & team, I am now 3+ years in remission w/no evidence of cancer. Through it all, Dr. K & Cindy never gave up on me, making lots of adjustments along the way. She gave me hope when it was hopeless, she gave me options when I needed them, she gave me hugs when I needed them and saw me through some really difficult times. Even though she is extremely busy, she always finds time for me and is an incredibly humane, intelligent and loving professional. She maintains a calm demeanor, yet she is firm and confident in her medical opinion, which gives the patient a high degree of confidence in her opinion. She is an amazing human being and the City of Hope is lucky to have her on their team!

December may be the most wonderful time of the year--and not just because of all the holiday cheer and festive soirees--but because there are so many great fashion finds out now! From a luxurious carryall to a party-perfect bangle, this month's Hearts story showcases an assortment of items you're sure to cherish. So break out that wish list-you'll need to make a few additions!-and read on to learn more about some of the things that make us the happiest of them all.
Bottega Veneta Resort 2013 Tracksuit
It's been some time since tracksuits have been at the top of our wish lists, but leave it to Bottega Veneta's Creative Director Tomas Maier to change all that! A huge step up from the velour versions so popular in the past, Maier's silky Colorblock Track Jacket ($970) and matching Seamed Track Pants ($830) offer a luxurious take on the athletic trend, bringing loungewear to a whole new level of chic.
Miu Miu Patent Leather Embellished Shoes ($2100, available at select Miu Miu boutiques)
No holiday getup is complete without festive footwear. And while there are a variety of party shoes to choose from right now, we're currently swooning over Miu Miu's new-for-resort leather sandals. Featuring a chunky platform and crystal-embellished details, these high-stakes heels will instantly up the ante of your ensemble and are sure to be a hit on the dance floor.
Carven x Petit Bateau Bodysuit ($115) and Mock Collar ($75, 310.888.8822)
This month's need-to-know collaboration news involves two beloved French fashion labels: Petit Bateau and Carven. Marrying Petit Bateau's timeless design aesthetic with Carven's easy femininity, the capsule collection features simply chic collared shirts, bodysuits, dresses, and cardigans for the classicist in all of us. Available now in all Petit Bateau stores, the line is in one word: magnifique!
Saint Laurent Classic Duffle 12 Bag ($2650) in Red

Already adored by industry icon Kate Moss and spotted on Gwyneth Paltrow's arm too, it's only a matter of time before this minimal tote, which is now available in black, white, gray, and red, becomes the season's new must-have bag.
Hollywood Costume at the Victoria & Albert Museum
A must-see for any fashion-obsessed film buff, the Hollywood Costume exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London features over 100 iconic movie costumes. The three-gallery tour, which is open now until January 27th, spans Hollywood filmmaking from 1912-2012, exploring the pivotal role of costume design for such unforgettable characters as Dorothy Gale, Scarlett O'Hara, Indiana Jones, and Jack Sparrow. If you can't make it out to the exhibit, be sure to grab the companion book, Hollywood Costume, today.
Cynthia Rowley Flask Bangle ($225)
As you may know, we love a unique fashion find, and this quirky bangle from Cynthia Rowley's S/S 13 collection certainly falls into that category. This chunky statement piece works overtime; not only is it a gorgeous bracelet but it's also a flask-a design detail that'll certainly claim the spotlight at your next bash.--Jessica Baker, with Nicole Shoohed

LoC: WorldWarp
Updated: 6/27/10
"Lords of Creation" is one of the most addictive forum games you'll ever encounter. You might recall one of the earlier versions here on these boards. If you saw it and wanted to join but the collective history was too daunting, fear not; now is your chance. This is a play-by-post cooperative world-building game in which the players take on the role of gods, with the full powers and influence thereof. The goal of this is to produce a campaign world complete with history, pantheon, geography, races, creatures, and anything you could possibly imagine. One of the best elements is that the world is entirely organic; ancient wars, cultural growth, and divine conflicts are actually the result of warring interests, rather than being pulled whole cloth from a single person's imagination. This provides diversity that you just can't find anywhere else. And of course, we have a LOT of fun along the way. To facilitate play and later use, we also have a wikia where game information (such as homebrew races, maps, classes, etc) will be posted: The Wiki
You can find the rules here: The Rules on Wiki
And we also ask that you read these basic guidelines: Guidelines
The full set of rules may also be downloaded from : The Full Rules
There is also a group for the game, which hosts in-world PbPs, discussions and important news broadcasts: community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation
Finally, many of us chat on and off about the game or other random things at
Room #LoC.
Weekly Resets of PP artifacts and Exarchs will occur at 12:01 AM EST SUNDAY

Cornhusker Hotel
Editor's Review
The Cornhusker has long been known as Lincoln's premier hotel. The original opened in 1926, was imploded in the 1980s and replaced with a modern version now owned by Marriott. Today, the Cornhusker is a typical business-class hotel on the southern edge of Lincoln's downtown, near the University of Nebraska. The rooms are standard-issue for a business hotel: small desk, armoire under the TV (no flat-panel TV yet), wireless Web access and a typically sized bathroom. The pillows were too soft and squishy, the soft mattresses tended to roll you off the edge if you approach the side, and all the linens ended up in a wad by morning. You pay extra for a fridge or microwave. Services trail those of many other business hotels. When we added a night to our reservation (originally made through Expedia), they couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't have to switch rooms between nights. In the end, we didn't, but why was there a question? Parking in an attached city garage costs about $7/day. There's a restaurant and gift shop/coffee shop in the lobby, but the coffee shop was closed on at least one occasion during its posted hours. The hotel offers no free breakfast to guests. The Cornhusker's focus appears to be on meetings in the attached conference center. Nonconference guests pass through the conference center lobby to reach the parking garage. We had to haul luggage through lines of water-quality researchers. The location offers a convenient walk to the state capitol and downtown businesses in warm weather. It's about a 15-minute walk to the university, which takes you by numerous restaurants, movie theaters and museums. But the blocks immediately around the hotel hold mostly office space. In the end, look into the nearby Embassy Suites before booking at the Cornhusker. The Suites is closer to the university (about 1 block from the stadium) and the rest of downtown, and it offers its famous free breakfast and a more compelling lobby setup.
