[QUOTE=paul ron;1464569]The main problem with how this gear ages is lack of maintenance. Professionals maintained their equipment on a regulart basis.. not wait for when something goes wrong as most amatures do. By that time is it almost too late so the wearing effects of this become very damaging.
We take for granted what we have at such bargain prices.. once these monsters denanded a pretty penny but earned more than their weight in gold... so the level of appreciation has goen down. So a CLA on that 180mm lens will cost you $90, a repalcement used one will cost you $100.. you'd go for the $100 and the old one becomes a paper weight. But new that lens would have cost you $500 or more so the CLA was well worth it.
More than likely it;s jsut a clceaning n maybe a spring slipped off it;s post.. not terrable damages you are predicting. I repair lots of these lenses n rarely do I need to replace parts... especially since you say it is still purring just not closing it;s eyes... CLA.
Anyway.. if you want I can tell you how to open her up n CLA..
or as I said I can use the parts to give another lens a new life.
I agree, if your photography is as important a part of your life as it has been in mine having your equipment given some preventive maintenance from time to time should be considered as part of the cost like film and processing instead of accumulating more and more cameras and lenses that you probably in practice rarely use

Football on the field. Mayhem in the booth and the control room. Huge ratings in the morning papers. John Turturro portrays the reviled, revered and wholly remarkable Howard Cosell, heading a spot-on cast in the fascinating insider's story of the people and events that turned Monday Night Football into a nationwide phenomenon.
Based on the book by Bill Carter and Marc Gunther, this immensely entertaining made-for-cable film tells it like it was in chronicling the golden age of Monday Night Football, a bold experiment in prime-time programming that transformed the pop-culture landscape. Carrying the ball for the lesser-known ensemble is John Turturro's Emmy-worthy performance as Howard Cosell, who played the role of "provocateur" in the then-revolutionary three-man booth that included in its heyday "Dandy" Don Meredith (Brad Beyer) and Frank Gifford (Kevin Anderson). John Heard gives a career-best performance as ABC producer Roone Arledge, who nurtured his brainchild and brilliantly massaged the egos of his stars. His prickly, more complex relationship with Cosell is the heart of this film. Rich with incident, Monday Night Mayhem spans from Muhammad Ali's controversial anti-Vietnam War stance and the blood-soaked 1972 Munich Olympics to John Lennon's death, which Cosell announced to a shocked nation. Also comic and compelling is the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and the colorful backstage characters. This film will score even with viewers who preferred watching Mayberry RFD on those Monday nights long ago. --Donald LiebensonSee all Editorial Reviews

The Fletcher community recently learned of the death of Alfred Rubin, a retired professor who taught here for many years. One of Prof. Rubin's former students, Duncan Hollis, F95, who happens to be a professor himself now, made us aware of a lovely tribute he wrote for Opinio Juris, a blog dedicated to discussion of international law. He, and the Opinio Juris editorial board, kindly allowed me to reproduce his thoughts on the Admissions Blog. I hope you find his comments as touching as I did.
Alfred P. Rubin: The Best Professor I Ever Had
by Duncan Hollis
For those of us fortunate enough to end up with a career in international law, we all have our mentors, our guiding lights. Mine was Professor Alfred P. Rubin of the Fletcher School. He died last week. I write to express my condolences to his family and friends and offer a few words on his influence on my life as well as the whole Fletcher community, where he taught for 30 years. Simply put, I would not be an international lawyer — let alone a professor of international law — had Professor Rubin not pushed, encouraged, and inspired me onto my current path. He was the best professor I ever saw grace a classroom.
Truth be told, when I arrived at Fletcher in the Fall of 1993, I had no expectations of a career in international law. I had enjoyed studying it as an undergraduate at Bowdoin with Allen Springer (a former student of Professor Rubin as it turned out). But I'd applied to Fletcher to study Japan, not law; I had four years of Japanese language classes under my belt and had just finished a summer internship in Osaka. To complete my joint degree, however, I still needed four law-related courses. LAW 200: The International Legal Order looked interesting. I was a bit wary of an early morning class 3 days a week, including Fridays, plus an unusual year-long course structure. Still, Rubin's classes were legendary so I decided to take it during my first semester.
In what was a trademark for his contrarian demeanor, Professor Rubin started off our first class with a simple, but powerful, challenge — insisting that there is no such thing as human rights. An Australian classmate took the bait, and responded that they must exist, to which Professor Rubin pushed back, asking if human rights existed as law or morality. That generated a fairly intense discussion on what law "is", who should decide the law's contents and by what processes. Fifty minutes later, I was hooked. LAW 200 became my favorite class. I would actually wake up happy on class days, eager to see what the morning's discussion might hold — the Trent Affair's illumination of customary international law, the divine law origins of treaties (which I've made use of subsequently), or one of my favorite cases, Mortensen v. Peters. We wrestled with the (in)consistency of the ICJ's approach to the South Africa question, the meaning of "genuine and effective links" for citizenship, plus older chestnuts like the Lotus case. Along the way, Professor Rubin moved us beyond doctrine to legal theory, asking us to work through various iterations of positivist and naturalist methods in original and neo-formulations. We didn't just read Hart, we went back to Kelsen (reading Kelsen being fairly atypical in American legal education).
The Spring semester brought piracy and thornier topics like recognition, succession, jurisdiction, and conflicts of law. A few years later, Monroe Leigh (who along with Cynthia Lichtenstein were my other early mentors) took me on as his associate in part because I'd invoked the Fruehauf case from Rubin's class to advise a client. As the semester progressed, my classmates and I debated whether Professor Rubin's tears in discussing the legality of the bombing of Hiroshima were real (they were) and marveled at how he cared about the "law" as a concept and detested hypocrisy in any form. None of us will ever forget how Rubin ended the year — re-enacting the scene from A Man for All Seasons where Sir Thomas More responds to William Roper's call for an arrest even if it means cutting a road through the law to get after the Devil:
Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, And if you cut them down, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Two decades later, I'm still trying to figure out Professor Rubin's secret ingredient — the persistent Socratic dialogues, the deep dives into doctrine, the marshaling of legal theory in concrete cases, or that undeniable passion for his subject-matter. It may have been something as simple as his gentle voice — a slight hesitancy in speech with an ever-present inquisitive tone. I confess that my study group spent hours imitating that voice (one of us who shall remain nameless with much success). We did so without any sense of hostility or meanness — but rather as a mark of our affection for his teaching and our sense that his class was a shared experience. And it was not by any means an easy one — the reading assignments were enormous with Rubin assuming we all knew the material so we could take the class discussion to a more critical level. I still have my notes (the only ones that I've kept). I was amazed to revisit them yesterday to see just how much we covered that year in history, doctrine and theory. I've never had another class like it.
Beyond the classroom, Professor Rubin was a thoughtful adviser. Conveniently located on the way to the cafeteria, his office door was always open. He welcomed students in to ask questions about class or the oft-discussed career question — "So, exactly, how does one become an international lawyer?" He never rushed students off (even if we'd interrupted one of his many Minesweeper computer games). I treasured those conversations, and the chance to soak in his knowledge, his experience, and his many, many books. I have a shelf-long collection of green volumes of the American Journal of International Law in my office today for no other reason than Rubin had one. In later semesters our conversations deepened and I gained insights into key sources and research methods. To this day, I'm reluctant to cite a secondary source when a primary one is at hand since I picture Professor Rubin watching over me and shaking his head, reminding me he expects nothing less.
I will always be most indebted to Professor Rubin for his willingness to go beyond advice to action. In the summer of 1994 I was (unhappily) a temporary secretary in Suffolk University's physical plant. The job was in the sub-basement below the actual basement. It was hard to see how this was going to advance my dreams of becoming an international lawyer until I got a call from Jeffrey Bates, a partner at Goodwin Proctor at the time. Another former student of Rubin's, he needed a legal clerk to do some research, and Professor Rubin had recommended me. Overnight, I transferred onto a large and intensive research project that laid the foundations for all that followed. I have no doubts that the Goodwin clerkship made it possible for me to join Steptoe and Johnson as an associate, which in turn led me to the State Department, and eventually Temple Law. All this from one recommendation by Professor Rubin (a recommendation I'd not even asked him to make). Nor am I alone in this experience. Generations of Fletcher students sought out the Rubin experience and found themselves entering the field of international law in one way or another. From that introductory class alone, four of us spent time in the Legal Adviser's office at the U.S. Department of State; others ended up at the United Nations, in foreign ministries, and private practice. At least three of us followed his path into the academy to teach international law.
Having been a member of international law's "invisible college" for a few years, I know that Professor Rubin was regarded by other law professors as an academic, known for his work on piracy and unilateral declarations, and some ferocious commentary from the floor at the American Society's Annual Meeting. For my part, however, I choose to remember Professor Rubin as a teacher. In later years, we kept in touch until his health began to fail. He'd ask me to call him by his first name, Al. I couldn't do it. He was and will always be my professor of international law. A gentleman, a scholar, but above all a teacher. May he rest in peace.

New student-led initiative: Coffee Chats
By Jessica Daniels On December 1, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Faculty, Our Students
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the second in a series of event announcements, each of which invited students to come and chat, over coffee, with a professor or fellow student. Great idea! So I contacted the organizer, Ameya, for details. Ameya told me:
The idea for these chats came about from a conversation early last year between some of us who had Prof. Chayes as our faculty adviser. She has, as you know, a wealth of experience; we were all interested in learning more about her career and interests, but it was hard to do this in ten-to-fifteen minute office hour conversations, plus it was repetitive for Prof. Chayes, as well. So we set up a combined chat for an hour or so, which all her advisees attended, and it was a tremendously valuable and informative experience.
Based off that, I started setting up similar chats — maybe once a month — with other professors. At some point, it also became clear there were students and alumni with valuable experience in specific areas, so this year I've started alternating between faculty and student/alumni speakers. I've consistently found the sessions both valuable, as well as reassuring, in that everyone has had a roundabout path to where they currently are in their careers.
Sessions last year were with Professors Babbitt, Wilkinson, and Johnstone, and one alumnus. This semester, we've met with two current students and Prof. Moomaw.
I really love this idea, especially the conversations with students, which formalizes the commonly stated opinion that there's much to be learned from one's peers here. Plus, it's an example of how a student can create a new Fletcher tradition, and I hope that Ameya's idea will be carried forward even after he has graduated.

Prof. Glennon and "Double Government"
By Jessica Daniels On October 23, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Our Faculty
You might remember meeting Prof. Michael Glennon last year in the Faculty Spotlight series of blog posts. Now, Prof. Glennon has a new book, National Security and Double Government. He recently sat down with an interviewer at The Boston Sunday Globe to discuss "America's 'Double Government.'" The Globe also included a nice review of the book. With U.S. elections less than two weeks away, this is timely stuff!
Prof. Jalal on The Struggle for Pakistan
By Jessica Daniels On October 3, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Faculty
Today I thought I'd highlight a book by a member of the Fletcher community. Prof. Ayesha Jalal is the Mary Richardson Professor of History at Fletcher and the School of Arts and Sciences. She's also a friend of Fletcher Admissions, and has served many years on the Admissions Committee, always enthusiastically. Her insightful comments are the sort that are still present around the table two years after her last stint with us.
And now, Prof. Jalal has a new book, The Struggle for Pakistan, about which she was interviewed for Tufts Now. A timely addition to the scholarship on Pakistan, and the culmination of Prof. Jalal's lifelong connection to the country.
A few weeks back, I pointed readers toward the book lists that I had compiled in past years for incoming students. Along the way, I was included (essentially for eavesdropping purposes) in an email discussion among a few professors, who were each considering what books might be included in a list of foundational readings for their corner of the International Affairs field. A more complete list may become a reality in the future, but for now, I wanted to share the introductory list.
Ian Johnstone, Fletcher's academic dean, recommended this "short list of influential IR books that spill over into international law and organizations":
Kenneth Waltz, Theory of International Politics
Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye, Power and Interdependence
Martha Finnemore and Michael Barnett, Rules for the World: International Organizations in Global Politics
Rosalyn Higgins, Problems and Process: International Law and How We Use It
Prof. Joel Trachtman noted:
"I would recommend Rethinking Social Inquiry, edited by Henry Brady and David Collier, as an introduction to how we know and argue in social science. For an introduction to international law, there's Sean Murphy's Principles of International Law."
Prof. Michael Klein wrote:
"For a background book, I would suggest Alan Blinder's book on the financial and economic crisis, After the Music Stopped."
Finally, for this very short list, Prof. Alan Henrikson said:
"My top candidate for inclusion on such a list now is Robert Gates, Duty, a truly instructive book about American government and much more, including personal ethics and the dilemmas of public policy."
Naturally, I'm still not assigning reading for blog readers, but I wanted to share what I had learned.

News for a summer Friday
By Jessica Daniels On August 1, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Our Faculty, Our Students
A few pieces of news worth sharing have passed my way recently.
First, Tufts University's news service recently highlighted the thoughts of two Fletcher faculty members. In a recent "Tufts Now" newsletter, we read Dean Bhaskar Chakravorti's ideas regarding the future of money, and also Prof. Kelly Sims Gallagher's views on how the U.S. could take a lesson from China on competing in the clean-energy market.
For that matter, and this is actually BIG news that I have neglected, I should also note that Prof. Gallagher will be on leave from Fletcher in 2014-15 to work in The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. She is serving as Senior Policy Advisor and will be working on climate change and energy policy, as well as international climate policy. You can read more here.
This week, I heard from two continuing students whose writing has been picked up by major publications. Emily Cole wrote a letter to the editor of The New York Times about health care for Peace Corps Volunteers, a topic the Times has been covering lately. Ameya Naik wrote a column for Mint, the Indian edition of the Wall Street Journal. He pointed out that one hyperlink in the piece ("modern terrorism") takes you to a Huffington Post column by another continuing student, Tara Dominic. Ameya also has a blog, which is a combination of his own writing and compiled writing of other people.

Blog posts have a short shelf life, and most readers don't dig too deep into the archives. For that reason, I thought I'd share some of the most "liked" posts of this past year, as generated by the button below each post. Click on the photo below to take you to the original blog post or the feature series that it was part of.
First, and probably the blog post that has received the greatest number of "likes" ever, was Devon Cone's report on her five years after Fletcher. It's a lovely story that has drawn several particularly warm comments. If you enjoy reading about Devon's post-Fletcher path, consider scrolling through all of the Five Year Updates.
Each of the posts in the Faculty Spotlight series was well received, and I couldn't possibly choose among the professors, so I invite you to read all of their self-introductions. Click on Prof. Klein's photo to the left, and then scroll through the posts I collected in 2013-2014. More to come this fall!
Incoming students have told me that they appreciated reading the stories of current students, and everyone was happy for Roxanne when she received the Presidential Award for Citizenship. To catch up with everything that Roxanne, Mirza, Scott, Diane, Liam, and Mark wrote this year, check out all the Student Stories.
Also informative for prospective students have been the updates from students in their first year post-Fletcher. Given the favorable response, I was proactive this year — I lined up a big bunch of students who graduated in May and who volunteered to write about the post-Fletcher career they hadn't yet started. I'll begin collecting the posts at the end of the fall. (As I write this, Margot's post has exactly 100 likes.)
I enjoyed reading the posts students wrote about their activities during the academic year. I learned about things I had never even heard of! In addition to the post on the Human Rights Practicum, the one on the International Criminal Court Simulation was particularly well liked, but go ahead and check out the complete collection of Cool Stuff posts.
I also caught up with a few official programs that I had neglected in the past. Readers especially liked the post on the Tavitian Fellows.
Finally, there were lots of likes for a few stories about particular students or alumni — posts that weren't part of a blog feature series.
In an unusual post about a student who was living like a graduate, we read about Kamil, who will soon be returning to Fletcher after he stopped out for a year with UNICEF in Myanmar.
There was this one about Sam Chapple-Sokol, because who doesn't love reading about cooking?
And this from Jamie Kraut, one of last summer's newly minted graduates, who traveled to Norway with some current students.
I don't do it too often, but sometimes I can't resist a nice wedding story. And with a Fletcher professor officiating at the ceremony, they don't get much more Fletcherish than Megan and Sebastian's event last summer.
The common element in nearly all these most-liked posts is that they were written by students, alumni, or professors. The few that I wrote myself tell the stories of students or alumni. That gives me a strong hint about areas on which to focus blog posts in 2014-2015!
New books from the Fletcher community
By Jessica Daniels On July 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Alumni, Our Faculty
Though summer reading is no more required this week than it was last week, I wanted to share some recent books by members of the Fletcher community, both faculty members and graduates. I can't ensure that the list is comprehensive, but with topics from brand management to grand strategy, the new publications provide a nice picture of the breadth of interests at Fletcher.
Books by faculty
Kelly Sims Gallagher, The Globalization of Clean Energy Technology
William Martel, Grand Strategy in Theory and Practice: The Need for an Effective American Foreign Policy
Robert Pfaltzgraff (with Jacquelyn K. Davis), Anticipating a Nuclear Iran
Joel Trachtman, The Future of International Law: Global Government
Jeswald Salacuse, Negotiating Life: Secrets for Everyday Diplomacy and Deal Making
Jeswald Salacuse, The Three Laws of International Investment: National, Contractual, and International Frameworks for Foreign Capital
Books recently or soon-to-be published by recent graduates
Benedetta Berti, Armed Political Organizations: From Conflict to Integration
Aiyaz Husain, Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World
Nathalie Laidler-Kylander, The Brand IDEA: Managing Nonprofit Brands with Integrity, Democracy and Affinity
Alison Lawlor Russell, Cyber Blockades
And two others
Though this news is a little less new, I also wanted to note that MALD graduate Tara Conklin had a novel on The New York Times best seller list — The House Girl. It debuted at #29, in fact!
Finally, a less recent graduate, Bill Richardson F'71, has published How to Sweet-Talk a Shark: Strategies and Stories from a Master Negotiator. Prof. Salacuse also wrote a review essay of the book for Negotiation Journal. Check it out for a nice description of Ambassador Richardson's career.
Tagged with: Supplementary reading
I was asked last week whether the Admissions Blog would feature a list of recommended readings for incoming students this year. As it happens, I wasn't planning to gather a new list, but I'm happy to be able to point you back toward suggestions provided by our professors in previous years. I've gathered all the posts, dating back to 2007, in a cleaned up Professors Suggest tag.
Though no reading at all is required in the summer before you enroll, you might want to pick up a book to get your mind around upcoming coursework. Or maybe you just want to see how many of the listed books you have already read. Not all the suggestions are heavy — at least one of the posts includes a few fiction options.

6622 Tasting Notes
sipdown! sorry to see this one go, especially since i have no keemuns in my cupboard at the moment but also nice to feel like i'm making a bit of progress with my cupboard. Dropping the rating a little on this one since it's not as delicious as the first time i had it. There are other smokey teas that i prefer…but this one is still good!
Final Count: 121
another one that i haven't had in a long time. I think this time it worked out better because i had less tea and more of the "extra bits" in it. I am NOT a fan of last years harvest of the base tea for this one. It wasn't a great year for it.. i'm hoping that this year is better because prior to this year, this was a high 80 for me.
sipdown! the last of this will be off to beelicious in our swap. I really still adore this tea. It's just the right sort of chocolate tea for me – leaning towards dark versus milk and not being sweet. I just wish MF sold this loseleaf versus their overpriced tins.
today is a holiday in canada for a lot of folks…which means for us, cleaning the house, trying to get outside and using it as a day for the two of us to catch up on things we haven't had time to work on. It also means being able to drink a few more teas. Today i needed something delicious to kick off my day so i opted for this one. I really need to see if anyone's written about 2015 harvest since i'll be running out of this one soon and need to decide on 2014 or the 2015. I think the rest of the day is going to be a little bit of more new teas and finishing up a couple for some sipdowns :)
Let me know if you find out! I got a 2014 Spring and I like it a lot so far, but I haven't compared it to the others I have. I should do that soon. Or just order the 2015 and do a side-by-side comparison of several versions. :D


text: Spent 3 nights here and loved every minute. Friendly staff and immaculate rooms. Fantastic view of cliffs , ocean and beach and we enjoyed relaxing watching the dolphins, seals and surfers not to mention the sea eagles and humming birds . Just what we needed after 2 weeks travelling through California. Can't fault this hotel, so peaceful yet close enough to restaurants etc. This hotel would make us want to come back to the Pismo Beach area .

This is nice hotel using about 3 floors of a high rise. Classic good quality rooms and amenities. I had a nice river view. Very quiet, bar service shuts down at 10:00. Not sure if you can get breakfast. Good valet crew. Would stay here again.
We had stayed here many years ago, and returned to attend an event held in Cleveland, and find the time to "newlyweds".. The Ritz has the reputation of Excellence, and they never lets you down. Superior service and attention to detail, with the warmth of home... we WILL be back.
Probably great for business uses, but as a destination for a couple vacationing, not the best. The only other Ritz-Carlton I've stayed in was in Jakarta, but the Cleveland Ritz doesn't even match the standard room in the Marriott in Manila, Philippines!The rooms were clean, the staff was kind, but there wasn't any extra splash that let you know that staying in the Ritz Cleveland was a special event.If you check in after 2300 hrs (11 pm), even if you're a couple in a tuxedo and wedding dress, expect to unload your own bags, wait for a valet, then wait at the check-in counter behind an irate guest arguing with the staff.
We stayed at the Ritz in Cleveland for one night. The rate was great as we booked it through the Horseshoe Casino website. The hotel is connected to the Tower City Shopping Complex, I understand is a renovated train station. The lobby was nice but was small for a high end hotel. The parking garage is not in the best of condition for a $16 daily rate for hotel guests. The room was nicely furnished but not as spacious as other high end hotels I stayed before. You can walk from the hotel to the Horseshoe Casino through an indoor passage which was convenient. I would give my experience an ok and average.
I like the Cleveland Ritz Carlton. My wife, son and I stayed there for three nights for an anniversary, baseball, Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame trip. Like the City of Cleveland itself, it works hard to project a positive image, but a few issues are clearly visible.The location is great. It is a short walk to the baseball park, and a slightly longer walk to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame (we drove to the latter because my wife had recently had an operation). It is close to the small, but attractive Warehouse District on 6th St. and the pedestrian mall on 4th Street with lots of restaurants, bars and live music.The room and public areas are vintage Ritz: gleaming wood, shiny crystal, oriental rugs and an air of elegance. Service is a real plus. Everyone is friendly from the parking attendants to the waitresses to the club floor attendants. Just what you would expect from a Ritz. In fact, even better because staff were genuinely friendly in addition to the courtesy one expects from Ritz staff.Speaking of the Club Floor. We got a "Stay 3 nights, pay for 2" deal for around $400.00 per night. This is a little more than we typically pay, but food and drinks on the club level were included, as well as valet parking. We thought it was a good value. The appetizers were very tasty; lunch and breakfast were nice as well. The Staff was great. I loved the multiple newspapers and magazines in the Club Lounge. Unlike other Ritz Carltons, however the furniture in the club was slightly tattered. Two upholstered armchairs were soiled and in desperate need of steam cleaning. This has been noted in other reviews, so why management doesn't tend to this immediately is a mystery.Our room was elegant, roomy and clean. The bathroom was filled with complimentary items, including a razor and toothbrush. Housekeeping was impeccable.We stopped in for a drink at the bar. No bartender was present, but our server cheerfully noted that she was doubling as the bartender. This was a little surprising since we were there on a Saturday night.I worked out at the health club. It had the usual elegant locker room, but a little less equipment than one usually finds at a Ritz.We did get a welcome e-mail soliciting anything we might need. I wrote back and asked a few questions, but got no response. I found this odd given the "we try harder" attitude of the staff while we were there.We were given wonderful chocolates in the shape of guitars and a personal note for our anniversary, and our son got cookies with a note that the hotel hoped he enjoyed the baseball game. So on the whole, this is a great hotel. I would stay again. It needs just a few tweaks to be top drawer, and I am rooting for this place because the people who work there are so likeable.
My wife and I stayed 4 nights in late June. Room was fine, as you would expect for these rates. However, there was only one functioning elevator for the duration of the stay, with no explanation nor apology provided. Also, service in the Muse dining room (dinner and breakfast) was very slow. And, even though slow, a standard breakfast came without the potatoes ordered. Disappointed.
We stayed here for two nights on a comped offer from Horseshoe Cleveland. Our first impression of this hotel was great, it was beautiful and the staff were very friendly upon check in. In fact, every employee we encountered during our stay was wonderful. The room was clean, spacious, and stayed cool despite the 80+ degree temperatures outside. The hotel is connected to small shopping center, with a movie theatre, food court, some office buildings, and Horseshoe Casino. If you're coming in for a short stay, you may not have to leave the premises. We attended an Indians game while in town and Progressive Field was about a ten minute walk away. We were also within about a ten minute walk to 4th Street and the Warehouse District. Perfect location; we would absolutely stay here again.

Earlier this week, restaurant owners in New York City spoke out against a bill to ban the sale of polystyrene foam foodservice at a public hearing at City Hall.
Introduced and supported by the Bloomberg Administration earlier this year, the bill has received objections from the American Chemistry Council, businesses, unions and community leaders because of costs to restaurant owners, according to a news release.
"This bill will have serious implications not only for New York City small businesses, but upstate New York manufacturers," said Mike Durant, New York State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business. "Product bans imposed absent solid scientific backing like this are threatening the viability of small businesses within the City and across New York. The very fact that New York City is looking to threaten thousands of jobs and small businesses is alarming."
At the hearings, business owners spoke about the potential for increased costs and reduced bottom lines if the council moves forward on the proposed ban.
"Polystyrene foam is the best option for my business because it keeps my food fresh and at the same time, it allows me to charge a fair price," said Jimmy Moncion, owner of Nelson Paella Restaurant in Brooklyn. "The cheapest alternative is much more expensive than polystyrene foam — plus, they don't work as well for my customers. If this ban goes through, it will mean cutting workers so that I can keep my doors open."
More than 2,000 NYC-based small businesses have written to their City Council representatives to express disapproval of the ban.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Buildi...

While testing is often ignored when it comes to DevOps - it could be the most important aspect of achieving true DevOps success. Without rethinking automated testing from the ground-up, the entire DevOps productivity gain cannot be realized.

DevOps has often been described in terms of CAMS: Culture, Automation, Measuring, Sharing. While we've seen a lot of focus on the "A" and even on the "M", there are very few examples of why the "C" is equally important in the DevOps equation. In her session at @DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, of F5 Networks, will explore HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 along with Microservices to illustrate why a collaborative culture between Dev, Ops, and the Network is critical to ensuring success.

"At this time in my life, I'm ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn't ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
SEGMENT: Jenny Holzer in "Protest"
From "Art in the Twenty-First Century" Season 4 (2007)
Featured in this video
From the series
Release date
November 4, 2007
Jenny Holzer discusses the concepts behind some of her most well-known projects, including "For 7 World Trade" (2006), for which she projected text onto a glass wall of the lobby. Much of Holzer's work focuses on devastation and cruelty, and uses the words of others. "I stopped writing my own text in 2001," she explains. "I found that I couldn't say enough adequately and so it was with great pleasure that I went to the text of others." Viewers observe Holzer creating new work as she prepares an exhibition of paintings and prints of declassified, redacted government documents, some of which are letter-size, while others are blown-up to an overwhelming scale "…in hopes that people will recoil," she says.

(Reuters) - Two U.S. senators on Tuesday revived legislation that seeks to allocate more airwaves to public Wi-Fi by requiring regulators to quickly test how shared radio frequencies could coexist alongside those used for communications among smart cars.
The bill by Senators Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, and Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, would direct the Federal Communications Commission to study how more spectrum can be freed up for public use without interfering with connected vehicles, which are incumbent users.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top U.S. automaker General Motors Co has emerged as a heavyweight ally of the wireless carriers battling against stricter Internet traffic rules, with a new letter that linked the issue to wirelessly connected cars.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom and China Mobile will sign a deal on Friday to create a platform for so-called connected cars in China, a Deutsche Telekom spokesman said on Thursday.
The two companies will form a joint venture in which the German telecoms group will bring its technology for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, while China Mobile will provide the network.
DETROIT (Reuters) - An Acura RLX sedan demonstrated an unusual way to tow another car this week: the vehicles were not physically attached. The second car drove itself, following instructions beamed over by the first in a feat of technology that indicates a new stage in automation is happening faster than many expected.
DETROIT (Reuters) - A group of companies, including several large automakers, have joined a public-private research initiative to lay the groundwork for a system that wirelessly connects vehicles and helps smooth the flow of traffic, the University on Michigan said on Friday.
(Reuters) - FleetCor Technologies Inc said it would buy payments processing company Comdata Inc from Ceridian LLC for $3.45 billion in its biggest deal as it looks to expand into the virtual payments market.
Comdata, which was acquired by payroll and employee benefits processing company Ceridian in 1995 for $900 million, provides fleet fuel cards for the trucking industry, payroll cards and gift cards among other services.
CDMA-enabled telematics solutions are delivering the business intelligence that both dealers and lenders need to monitor and manage their vehicle assets as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.
Apple and Google have made names for themselves as technology innovators and as the companies shaping the direction of their industry. Both companies recently released high-profile connected car products – CarPlay and Open Auto Alliance, respectively – that allow users to bring the comforts of their mobile devices to their vehicles. It would seem that both companies are focused on new opportunities to extend their market dominance.
The catch? Microsoft announced its first connected car partnership, with Ford, all the way back in 2007.
A shifting industry
LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone is buying an Italian car electronics maker for 145 million euros ($197 million), seeking to get ahead in the race to connect more products to the internet and offset slowing growth in its core mobile phone business.
GM says it will next month launch a new range of vehicles capable of connecting to the internet over the 4G network of AT&T.
Customers will be able to use services free of charge for a three-month period or up to a three-gigabyte limit, after which they can take out a data plan starting from $5 a month.
The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu is to the be the first LTE-equipped vehicle and will be followed by more than 30 other Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles by the end of the year, said the carmaker.

More trouble for Öhlins suspension owners, as Öhlins USA is recalling 50 units of its Ӧhlins RXF 48mm front forks for motocross bikes. The recall notice simply states that the forks can break or detach during using, which poses a crash hazard.
Recall: Ducati 1199 Panigale S, R, & Superleggera
The effects of the Öhlins suspension recalls continue to amount, and to no one's surprise it has finally come to affect the Italian superbikes of Ducati.
As such, Ducati North America is recalling certain 2014 model year Ducati 1199 Panigale S, Ducati Panigale R, and Ducati Superleggera motorcycles for faulty rear shocks.
Recall: Honda CBR1000RR SP
Another bike is affected by the Öhlins suspension failure, as American Honda has submitted what it calls the Honda CBR1000S (that's the CBR1000RR SP for everyone else) for recall with the NHTSA.
In total 504 units are affected by Honda's recall, which applies to 2014 motorcycles made between December 9, 2013 and to March 28, 2014, and to 2015 motorcycles made between October 20, 2014 and February 27, 2015.
Recall: Triumph Daytona 675 R & Speed Triple R
The Öhlins suspension recall continues to affect motorcycle manufacturers, as Triumph is now recalling two of its models, the Daytona 675 R and Speed Triple R, for faulty Swedish shocks.
For Triumph, the recall only affects 566 units — those models that were built between January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015 — and it will commence on May 15th of this year.
Recall: Yamaha YZF-R1M
When Öhlins announced that it was recalling certain aftermarket shocks and steering dampers earlier this year, the obvious question was whether it would affect motorcycles that were equipped with the Swedish suspension from the factory, namely the new Ducati 1299 Panigale and the Yamaha YZF-R1M.
While a recall was expected for both machines, so far we only have word from Yamaha USA that the R1M will be recalled to replace the Öhlins shock. The recall only affects 350 units for Yamaha, a figure that likely indicates the total number of R1M motorcycles in the USA.
If you've bought an Öhlins shock or Öhlins steering damper in the last year and half or so, you may want to check your part's serial number as it may be affected one of the two recalls Öhlins just issued for the company's aftermarket suspension pieces.
It's finally here. After much speculation and teasing, the 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC superbike is finally officially official, with official pictures and official specs to boot.
Confirming much of what we already knew, MV Agusta's spec sheet has the F4 RC making 212 hp with the race exhaust, or 202.5 hp in street trim, while peak torque is 84.8 lbs•ft in either configuration.
Thanks to carbon fiber fairings, titanium connecting bolts and exhaust, lithium-ion battery, forged aluminum wheels, and magnesium casings, the MV Agusta F4 RC is 33 lbs lighter than the RR model, with a 386 lbs dry weight.
As expected, the 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC is equipped with the MVICS 2.0 electronics system, which includes traction control, ABS, rear-wheel lift control, and quick-shifter.
When the R1 was first launched it became an instant icon. A tri-axis engine with a GP style chassis was cutting edge technology back in 1998.
The bike has evolved through the years with fuel injection, a crossplane crank, and electronic systems amongst the hundreds of development upgrades.
The original R1 design focus was primarily for the street, however that has all changed for 2015, with Yamaha's Engineer's instructed to design a bike mainly for the track.
A team of 50 design engineers worked closely with Yamaha's MotoGP team and test riders from divisions in Japan, Europe, and the US, including Valentino Rossi and US rider Josh Hayes, to come up with perhaps the most technologically advanced electronics package on a motorcycle ever made available to the riding public.
Many of the senior engineers were in attendance at Sydney Motorsport Park – Eastern Creek in Australia for the R1 world launch, providing excellent technical support for the test riders and a unique insight into the challenges they each faced creating the new R1.
The 4.5km Brabham circuit provided a world-class test track for the 100 journos who descended from all over the globe to experience the 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M for the first time.
The diverse range of 18 corners, including one of the fastest turns in Australia, approached at nearly 300kmh, was perfect to test all the attributes of a new motorcycle.
Our test group had some quick guys including Josh Brookes, Steve Martin, and Cam Donald, so there was no hanging about.
What look to be official photos of the MV Agusta F4 RC have leaked out onto the internet, along with a slide from MV Agusta's media presentation on the machine. The photos give us our first glimpse into Varese's homologation special, complete with a special two-can exhaust by Termignoni.
The leaked slide confirms some of the numbers being thrown around about the F4 RC, namely that it will have 212hp, 81.86 lbs•ft of torque, weigh 175kg dry, and cost €36,900 (we already know that the MV Agusta F4 RC will cost $46,000 in the USA).
The 2015 Aprilia RSV4 RR represents a solid update to Noale's already impressive superbike. Making 201hp, and dropping three pounds, the RSV4 RR features a bevy of other finer detail refinements, include a second-generation APRC electronics package. So how do you make a motorcycle like that better? Enter the Aprilia RSV4 RF.
Taking the Aprilia Race Package, which adds Öhlins suspension pieces and forged aluminum wheels, and adding a special livery that honors Aprilia's racing success, you get the 2015 Aprilia RSV4 RF.
Aprilia hasn't mentioned how much the RF will be over the RR, but we don't think they will have any trouble selling them. More photos after the jump.

(AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and FBI have executed search warrants at the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office and the sheriff's home. TBI spokesman Josh DeVine said in a statement on Thursday that the warrants are part of an ongoing investigation into possible public corruption involving multiple targets within the sheriff's department. DeVine said he couldn't discuss specifics because of the continuing investigation. Corker berates fellow Republicans for inaction on highway funding By AP/WMOT • May 18, 2015 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) — A newly formed coalition says Tennessee has more than $8 billion in unfunded transportation needs, but they're getting little encouragement from legislators at either the state or federal level. The Transportation Coalition of Tennessee is pushing lawmakers to appropriate more money for highway construction and maintenance, even if that means raising taxes. Lawmakers have been reluctant to increase Tennessee's gas tax, the source of most state highway funds. The 21 cent a gallon tax hasn't been raised since 1989. TBI warns of dangerous pills that resemble oxycodone By AP/WMOT • May 15, 2015 tbi NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has issued a warning about fake pain pills that could prove deadly for anyone taking them. TBI spokesman Josh DeVine says police recently recovered what looked like oxycodone pills during a traffic stop. "It's the same size, it has the same stamping -- that "A" over "215" that's characteristic of oxycodone, but laboratory analysis at a TBI forensic facility indicated that they were in fact counterfeit…didn't contain oxycodone and instead contained fentanyl." Corker's bill on Iran nuclear deal review headed to Obama By AP/WMOT • May 15, 2015 WASHINGTON (AP/WMOT) — Congress is sending President Barack Obama a bill -- championed by Tennessee Senator Bob Corker -- that would give lawmakers the power to review any nuclear deal made with Iran. The House overwhelmingly passed the bill on a 400 to 25 vote Thursday. The Senate approved the bill last week. The legislation, which Obama says he will sign, gives Congress a chance to weigh in on what could be a significant international accord aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions. Tenn. bucks national trend toward fewer Christians, more "nones" By AP/WMOT • May 13, 2015 pewforum.org NEW YORK (AP/WMOT) — The number of Christians in America continues to decline, but Tennessee seems to be bucking that trend.

Bowery Mission Celebrates 100 Years
New York, NY —
While the Yankees toasted their 27th World Series, there was another celebration on the Bowery. Today is the 100th anniversary of The Bowery Mission chapel. The privately funded social service organization offers meals, shelter and rehab programs to homeless men and women.
The Homeless Services Commissioner, Robert Hess, says the Mission has been a great partner, by supplementing the city's shelter system. "There's plenty of time to celebrate 27 World Series, and we're appreciative of that. But this is a hundred years of transforming thousands, and thousands, and thousands of lives and I can't think of any place I'd rather be," Hess says.
The Mission's chapel opened its signature red doors for the first time on Nov. 7, 1909. President William Howard Taft was on hand for the event.
