Really great! We don't have chocolate chips here, so I chopped up a 100g bar of white chocolate and one of milk chocolate. Baked at 190C for 10 minutes.
Wonderful! Loved these cookies! I managed to get 28 and that dough is to die for. Made for Kim's Regional Alphabet Tag but serves double duty as it will also be in this month's Kaffee Klastch Tag Game. Jen is on target, 10 minutes is perfect timing.
Eureka! The coffee lover's dream cookie! These are very good chocolate chip cookies with a subtle coffee flavor. (The uncooked dough has a STRONG coffee flavor and is to die for!) Some people might wonder about the tiny black speckles throughout the cookies - is it pepper?? So these would be best for a small group so you can explain that they contain coffee. The recipe made 24 regular sized cookies and they were done baking in 10 minutes.

TDCPix: A High Time Precision Pixel Chip for the NA62 GigaTracker
by Matthew Noy (CERN)
Tuesday, 27 May 2014 from to (Europe/Zurich)
at CERN ( 13-2-005 )
at CERN ( 13-2-005 )
The TDCPix is a hybrid pixel detector readout ASIC designed for the NA62 GigaTracker detector. The asynchronously operating pixel array consists of 1800 pixels, each 300x300um^2. The requirements are a single-hit timing resolution better than 200ps RMS and a read-out efficiency of 99% or better. The discriminator time walk effect is compensated using a time-over-threshold approach with off-chip look-up tables. The pixel array is connected to 720 TDC channels which provide time to digital conversion with 97ps binning. The TDCpix processes up to 210Mhits/cm^2 and provides the hit data without the need of a trigger in a continuous data stream via four 3.2 Gb/s serialisers. Tests and characterization of the final TDCpix chip will be presented.

Wacom announces Bamboo Stylus for iPad
Looking for an iPad stylus? As of Wednesday, you have yet another option to consider: The Bamboo Stylus for iPad, created by the fine folks at Wacom.
Joining the multitude of iPad styluses already on the market, Wacom's Bamboo Stylus features a 6mm silicon rubber nib—around 25 percent smaller in diameter than most other rubber nib offerings available—and a weighted metal frame for proper balance when writing, sketching, or creating illustrations.
It's important to note that while Wacom is primarily known for its line of pressure-sensitive tablets and displays, the company's iPad stylus itself brings no pressure-sensitivity to the iPad; like other offerings, the Bamboo Stylus is limited by the same software limitations currently present on Apple's device.
The Bamboo Stylus will be available in mid-May for $30 from most major retail outlets, Amazon, and from Wacom's own Website.

On Saturday, April 6, from 10-noon the Placerville Kiwanis Club, its Key Clubs, Builders' Club and Aktion Club will be bringing the spirit of service alive in Placerville by helping maintain the park and inviting neighbors of Duffey Park to a barbecue.
These activities are being held as part of Kiwanis One Day, a global day of service that unites the entire Kiwanis family, including Kiwanis, Aktion Club, Circle K, Key Club, Builder's Club and K-Kids. On this day, more than Kiwanis volunteers in Placerville are expected to join nearly 600,000 volunteers around the world in devoting a few hours to hands-on service. Kiwanis International expects that Kiwanis One Day will contribute nearly 1 million service hours around the world in just one day.
"We are proud to join our fellow Kiwanis family members around the globe to participate in Kiwanis One Day," said Lori Warden, president of Placerville Kiwanis. "The energy, commitment and camaraderie surrounding this single day make the experience of hands-on service even more gratifying for our members as they make an immediate, measurable impact on the Placerville community."

Search for CF clinical trials that are relevant to you.
It was the year of 1957 when Phyllis Kossoff, one of the earliest volunteers of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and mother of a child with CF, found herself standing before a room of women, asking for help.
Published on March 7, 2013
The sisters of DPhiE at Drexel University crown the newest Deepher Dude following the male beauty pageant competition.
It had been two years since Phyllis and other parents banded together to create the CF Foundation. It was clear they needed to take the next step and raise funds to support their search for a cure. So Phyllis turned to her sisters - the women of Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority - and asked them for help.
More than five decades later, the sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon, also known as DPhiE, continue to offer their support. Through Great Strides walks, 65 Roses Galas and a variety of other fundraisers, the sisters spread awareness of CF and raise funds on behalf of the Foundation at 90 chapters across the country and in Canada.
Drexel University DPhiE Raises $47,000 in a Male Beauty Pageant
This February, hundreds of students, faculty, friends and family gathered to support the CF Foundation's mission and watch over a dozen men from Drexel's fraternities and wrestling team compete to be crowned the next Deepher Dude. Now in its ninth year at the University, the male beauty pageant is a campus favorite and, this year, raised an amazing $47,000 toward the search for a cure for CF.
Opening the evening was Emily Kramer-Golinkoff, 28, who has CF. Emily spoke candidly to the audience about what it's like to live with cystic fibrosis, saying, "Unlike so many of my peers making snarky remarks about reaching 30 and being 'over the hill,' you'll never find me complaining about getting older."
The room listened silently, taking in every word she spoke. "We have come so far, and we're so close," she continued. "But it's up to people like you to help us reach the finish line."
The men took the stage to compete in categories like talent, swimwear and formalwear, and even fought for the title by participating in a jump-rope contest. After each round, the sisters raffled off gift baskets, gift cards and nights out on the town.
The male contestants also did some fundraising of their own - hosting smaller events, like late-night barbeques, to raise money.
University of Miami DPhiE Turns up the Heat on its Fundraising
The sisters of the University of Miami pose for a
picture with Delaney, 2, who has CF, at their Hoops
for Hope basketball tournament.
Featuring a "Hoops for Hope" basketball tournament, "Jail 'N' Bail" fundraiser, jousting tournament and Deepher Dude competition, the sisters made sure CF was the talk of the campus all weekend, raising an amazing $30,000.
The chapter's Deepher Dude was a huge hit, with 12 men participating from the school's fraternities. Joining the judging panel was Bonnee Binker, volunteer at the CF Foundation's South Florida Chapter, and grandmother to Delaney, 2, who has CF.
Each contestant was tasked with serenading the toddler with an original song that spoke about cystic fibrosis, Delta Phi Epsilon and Delaney. The men were then judged based on how well they met all three criteria.
The evening also featured a live auction, which sold a trip to a timeshare in Disney World, a night out in Miami's Coconut Grove and a DPhiE-manned car wash for all campus fraternities.
"Delta Phi Epsilon's continued commitment to the CF cause is truly amazing," said Ann Palmer, senior vice president of field management for the CF Foundation. "Many of these women have no immediate connection to CF, and they continue to work tirelessly to support the Foundation's mission. We couldn't ask for better partners in our fight to cure and control this disease."

Snowed In
Photography by Jana Williams
Feeling slightly uneasy as I write to you at 3 am on a Thursday morning. Although i'm entirely relieved that New York Fashion Week is over, I'm feeling a little anxious as a snowstorm is suppose to hit tonight. Majority of my friends' flights have been cancelled , and they now cannot fly out until late sunday or monday. I got an alert this morning that my flight will be delayed by 5 hours, and has yet to be cancelled. As I talked about in my Valentines day video HERE, I'm trying to get back to the hubs on time for Valentines Day. I've had a little special something planned for him, so i'm crossing my fingers that plans will still go accordingly.
Anyways when I saw this dress on Forward by Elyse Walker the other day I immediately knew I had to have it in my closet. The contrast of the black and white scalloped details all along the neckline & down the arms is what really caught my eye. And I love that although this is long sleeved, there is still a bit of skin peeking through the sheer fabric throughout the front and back of the dress. Such intricate detail that really makes the LBD stand out from the crowd.
To see if I make it back to LA in time make sure to follow me on Instagram & Twitter! Wish me luck!

This year's Ironman triathlon world champion, Chris "Macca" McCormack, is currently gracing Wheaties and Wheaties FUEL boxes across the country.
The 37-year-old won his second Ironman world champion title this past October, covering the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run in 8 hours, 10 minutes and 37 seconds. Macca has been racing triathlons for almost 15 years, and won his home-country Ironman, IM Australia, five times in a row.
This is the first time an Ironman world champ has been featured on the Wheaties box, perhaps signaling the rise in triathlon as a popular sport among Americans.

HI there
I am putting a document together which is an investment overview to attract an investor to a business I run. I am filling in the content but need it to look nice and attractive - highly professional, investor grade.
I need it done over this weekend! This will involve some going backward and forward and the document will be refined over the coming days.
It is not complicated - a simple Word document but needs someone who is great at formatting documents, creative whilst experienced at working in the conservative business world and able to produce a document with gravitas.
I will be choosing based on experience, not price.

Have a kickass gaming rig but none of the consoles? Or do you just want to fire up the old school game for nostalgia's sake? Well you're in the right place, because most of the older systems now have emulators that will play their games on the PC.
For those living under a rock, an Emulator is a piece of software that tricks a game into believing that it's running on the hardware it is supposed to run on. So a Playstation emulator would mimic the PSOne, thus making Syphon Filter 3 believe it's running on the console instead of a PC.
Why emulate? Well, emulators nowadays usually can render the games at a much higher resolution than the original consoles, thus leading to an increase in graphic fidelity. Other features that didn't appear on the consoles can also be coded into emulators and have been, such as Anti-Aliasing, Save State and Load State functionality, the ability to take screenshots or record playthroughs etc.
The only issue is, there are tons of these emulators available on the internet today, making it a really confusing place for newcomers. But never fear, we're here to help you out with the Top Five Emulators available today.
Just remember, these emulators might be a pain to setup and get working, but keep grinding and you'll be rewarded with some glorious emulation at the end. Almost like an RPG, right?
Project64 (N64)
Project64 is a Nintendo 64 emulator that allows third-party plugins, thus enabling developers to create their own plugins for the software. These include D3D and OpenGL plugins for graphics, DirectSound plugins, etc. One key feature of Project64 is the ability to replace textures in the game with those from an external file source, thus enabling higher-quality versions of the game.
You can get Project64 from here.
DeSmuME (NDS)
DeSmuMe is an open-source Nintendo DS emulator for Linux, Mac and Windows. The emulator features save state functionality, gives users the option to increase the size of the screen and also supports plugins that help improve the graphical fidelity.
This spot would earlier have gone to No$GBA (when used with No$Zoomer), but ever since the release of version 2.6a, development on the emulator has gone completely cold, making it a dead project and very difficult to recommend, especially when compared to DeSmuME which is an open-source emulator that gets updates very frequently.
Anyway, you can get DeSmuME here.
ePSXe (PSOne)
The follow up to the program that really put emulation on the map (PCSX), ePSXe is a Playstation Emulator for Linux and Windows that included PCSX's third-party plugin system, thus letting developers develop their own graphics, sound and CDROM plugins. Therefore, it supports upscaling the PSOne games' resolution, some pretty advanced post-processing and save states.
You can get ePSXe from its website here.
Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube)
Yes, there's a Wii emulator out there, and it's pretty advanced! It supports Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering + Post-processing for graphics, Save States, the usage of an XBOX360 controller and if you a Bluetooth dongle, you can even hook up Wii controllers to the PC so you can use them with Dolphin.
Dolphin was originally a Gamecube emulator anyway, so GC support is also included. Currently the only working emulator for a seventh-generation console (Wii, XBOX360, PS3), it'd be safe to say Dolphin is pretty much a darling of the emulation community.
Dolphin is available for download here.
Arguably the most popular emulator around, PCSX2 is a Playstation 2 emulator that is a sequel to PCSX, a PSOne emulator that featured third-party plugin support. PCSX follows that tradition and thus also features upscaling, anti-aliasing, post-processing and various other D3D, DirectSound and DirectInput features. PCSX2 also supports processor enhancement instruction sets such as MMX, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 and SSE4, thus improving performance.
The PS2 has a fantastic library which is currently not playable on any other console (apart from the older PS3s which support backward compatibility), so an emulator that results in improved graphics at good framerate like PCSX2 is bound to have a lot of demand.
PCSX2 is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can get it here.
So there you have it, our list of Top Five Emulators. Happy gaming!
D, DeSmuME, Dolphin, DS, Emulation, ePSXe, Gamecube, Microsoft, N64, N64 Emulation, N64 Emulator, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, PC, PCSX2, PlayStation, Project64, PS1, PS1 Emulation, PS2, PS2 Emulation, PS2 Emulator, Sony, Wii, Windows

I can't get over the media circus surrounding Senator Barack Obama's current trip to the Middle East. Never mind that Senator John McCain's recent trip overseas hardly made the nightly news (we will just chalk that up to another instance of media bias), but the fact that the world went crazy as soon as Obama stepped on the plane means something deeper is being established here. Apparently, Obama's handlers and the national media have deluded themselves into believing the hip presidential candidate can transform himself into some sort of super-diplomat simply by spending a few hours in some war-torn countries. Need to burnish some foreign policy credentials for your presidential campaign? No problem, just hit the road to the remotest regions of the world and voilà – instant international policy expert.
I'm not saying that McCain is completely innocent of such tactics, heck no politician is. Many in Washington were scratching their heads while he was traipsing through the jungles of Colombia last month – burning precious time reserved for the campaign trail. But then came the freeing of hostages held by the FARC Colombian rebels, and McCain looked, well, presidential. And really, that's the whole point of these "fact-finding" missions – looking good for the cameras.
Perhaps these work vacations by politicians are more sophisticated than they first appear. Maybe Americans appreciate the fact that their presidential candidates are traveling beyond the confines of America and seeing the world firsthand. Perhaps, but do not be deceived. These are trips staged to the finest detail, with little left to chance and happenstance. Obama and McCain know this, and they have treated it as such – an extension of their political campaigns. Why do you think the network anchors are along for the ride? It is surely not because of the news quotient that the "surge" is working. What they gain can be debated, but what they "earn" the right to say during and after these trips seems quite baseless.

I remember being asked about the single best piece of advice I can give for improving conversions on a group interview on Crazy Egg late last year. Although there are a lot of factors that can really influence site conversions, I chose the one which I believe has the biggest impact – branding.
The truth is, it's easier to sell things when people (especially your target consumers) are already aware and fascinated by what your brand is putting out on the web (think Amazon, Zappos and Shopify).

The presidents plane (air force one) costs the tax payer about 180,000.00$ an hour to operate. After watching this estimate what this secret has cost the tax payers. 'They' have more interest in keeping secrets a secret than to take care of the american people. Enjoy.

SurrenderArt - Hurricane Sandy Relief
"All proceeds from this print will benefit the victims of 2012 Hurricane Sandy. Proceeds will go to the American Red Cross and to local New Jersey Shore charities. This area is my home, but, everything i loved about it is gone. My family was very fortunate to come out of it okay and still have a home. Time to give back. There is NO maximum number of prints per order, please order as many as you can. This is an OPEN edition until printing occurs and then a run # will be given. All prints will be signed and numbered and shipped in a timely manner. $40 shipped within the US, $50 shipped everywhere else. I have been doing "relief" work of this type for years, starting back at 9/11, during the Tsunami efforts, Hurricane Katrina, and many others- this time it has hit my home."
We escaped to Brooklyn the morning after. Here's a look at the blacked out skyline below 31st street from Williamsburg.
Still can't believe the coastal damage. Our thoughts go out to those hit hard.
Loving these gas lines. Glad I don't own a car.
Go G Train!!
I mean that literally... come on G train work already
G train started running this morning.
These storms are really unpredictable and dangerous. My car too was damaged completely as the uprooted tree fell on it. Many of my friends incurred huge damages.

I've never done a triathlon. I don't swim. I don't run. And I bike mainly when our copy chief goads me into it. Yes, this is pathetic, especially since I edit Outside's fitness coverage. Don't get me wrong, I'm still active: I ski all winter, hike a 12,000-foot peak at least once a week with my dog, and mountain bike endlessly in the summer. I've just never been one to sign up for a race three months in advance. That would require planning, which is not exactly a strong suit of mine.
This, of course, is changing this spring. Against my better judgment, I've signed on for the Outside In Aspen Triathlon, part of our Outside Triathlon Challenge, and I'll be following our First-Timer plan. I can feel the pain already.

- " Best hostel ever. Just do it. "
- 01 Feb 2016 Anonymous Australia
- " I stayed in the hostel for a week and it was really great. Staff is super friendly, and there is a really good atmosphere. I went there by myself and met many cool people from everywhere, and I think the hostel's nice atmosphere is encouraging this. It's really close to the streetcar which is convenient to go down to the French Quarter. And there are even lots of stuff to do at the hostel if you don't feel like going out. I would recommend it to anyone. "
- 06 Jan 2016 Julien France
- " It was a really lovely place to stay, the staff is super nice and helpful, late checkin is not a problem et all. There are many rooms where you can hang out and relax, watch Movies, play games or join the different activities organized by the hostel staff. Beds are a little noisy but okay, the rooms are spacious. Location is good, you can walk from there to the French Quarter (15 min) or take the Charlie Car. At night it's not the safest neighborhood at least for girls. "
- 22 Oct 2015 Anonymous Germany
- " Very nice stay at the Auberge NOLA. The staff is great, telling you what to do in the city right when you check in and always here to answer your question. The facilities are good, nothing to say. 20 minutes walk to the center and not expensive ! I recommend it to everyone ! "
- 14 Sep 2015 Maël France

Great location next to a city bus, or if you want to walk to Bourbon St. "

Best Bike Shop (2013)
Bicycle Roots
Before this full-service station opened in June, Crown Heights had not had a bike shop for 20 years. And with the new wave of gentrifying residents, the need for quick transportation on Nostrand Avenue was greater than ever. But that's not the type of crowd Brooklyn native Nechama Levy and local Joe Lawler aim to cater to. The owners of Bicycle Roots say they don't want to change the neighborhood, but add to an already rich history. They do this by radically downplaying the "insider" culture of biking, with the goal of making it a more universally accessible mode of transportation. Rather than peddling Tour de France–ready machines with complicated gears and speeds, the bright, neatly organized shop features practical-minded items such as the extremely subway-convenient foldable Brompton bicycle and Yuba brand cargo bikes for families. Repairs are made by friendly mechanics with speedy turnaround.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaDphoto Loved our stay at W Union Square Very spacious room for NYC - and great location. Easy access to many of our favorite spots. Stylish, updated, and comfortable. Beds were awesome. September 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by janiceterri Perfect Wonderful hotel in a vibrant area. The room exceeded my expectations and the staff was wonderful and met my check-in requests. Simply perfect and I wish I could have stayed longer. I travel a lot, stay at various hotel brands and will probably switch as much as possible to SPG after this experience. September 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by EverWin Thank you Thanks to Sabastian for the pleasant check in and check out process. Special appreciation to Jose for helping us move my daughter into college dorm. He arranged the transportation and give us advices to make our move smoothly and efficiently. W Union Square is lucky to have both of you. As for your evening front desk staff, Natalie, she makes me feel like owing her a favor when asking for a question. Not a good fit for a brand name like W. Room needs maintain acne, cracked tiles, low water pressure, clogged pipe. Great location though! Thanks again to Jose and Sabastian! September 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rho358 My stay at the W I loved the union square location and the hotel staff were very cordial and willing to help with anything. I understand the hotel along with others in the area are old and have smaller rooms, but the bathrooms are not quite up to par with other hotels with the same rating. I think using 20,000 spg points for this hotel is not justified, but i guess the location is so great that could explain why. September 1, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by MK2005 Disappointing We were disappointed with the hotel. The room didn't feel clean - and this is no reflection on the cleaning staff - it simply felt old and shabby. We were not comfortable. The bathroom really needs a facelift. The front desk staff were not pleasant to deal with. On many occasions, it seemed like the staff felt that they were doing me a favour by helping me. The entrance is also an issue. We were travelling with children and a stroller. At many times, there was only one doorman, and yet we had to get through two separate doorways to reach the lobby. It did not work well. On some occasions, there was no doorman. That was even more frustrating. (Unlike the front desk staff, the doormen were very nice and personable.) I was not happy with my experience. August 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cnat Great Stay! First time staying at a W brand and it was exactly what I was looking for to enjoy the night with my ladies! August 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelalot777 Another great return! My favorite SPG property in NYC! Great location in the Union Square area where I can walk to most of the things I enjoy in NY. On top of that, the folks at the hotel starting with Nelson and Gerald always treat me great and make me feel very welcomed. Nicely appointed rooms and amenities. Ask for a high floor with a park view! August 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cinquecento Exemplary Concierge My wife was in NY from San Diego staying at the hotel this past weekend celebrating her 50th birthday with her girlfriend. I called the hotel and spoke with the Concierge to see if they could recommend a florist as I wanted to send 5 roses to arrive on her birthday. I knew she was checking out the next morning and wouldn't be able to take the flowers with her. I was planning on sending her 50 roses the next day at her next stop in Cape Cod where she would be staying for the week. After the concierge heard what I was doing, not only did he say he would take care of everything, he even said it would be at no charge!!! My wife called me the moment she received the roses and said they were the most beautiful roses she had ever received - perfectly arranged! I forget the name of the Concierge but I will tell you he made a customer for life. A small gesture can go a long way... Thank you! July 28, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sophia0422 Had a great time we stayed recently at this hotel and I must say it was a really nice ths time. We stayed at this property before and was very disappointed then. Only because of location I had to stay here again. Glad I did. It was completely different now. Much, much better. room was much bigger, britgher. Check in was much smoother. Valet parking have not messed up my car. All in all was nice. thank July 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gigi2015 Mrs We booked the hotel for our anniverssary. The location is good, if you really want to walk around the area and see the famous squares and other touristic attraction. However it is a very very busy street and there is no place to park. The valet parking is extremely expensive $ 71.00 !! We did not spend much time in the hotel but to sleep, so we can't rate its facilities. The personnel was courteous and effective. We just did not have the feeling of a luxury hotel, it is more of a hotel " de passage"! Next time we will book the St Regis where we stayed before and we were very happy. June 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by DER1 But one bad apple, . . . This was one of the worst check in experiences I have ever had. I travel for business a lot, and Stella, the woman behind the counter, was the MOST RUDE hotel employee I have ever encountered,. She should be fired. The other employees who saw and heard her were similarly shocked. The manager attempted to deal with it, but what could he do as the damage had been done. June 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Prince1999 W Union Square Experience I stay at this hotel several times a month as my company is based in Silicon Alley. I enjoy staying at this hotel but ironically enough it has very little to do with the service. In fact, I seldom have interaction with anyone that works here. I wonder if my experience would be better if they recognized my loyalty. I stay here because the rooms are very quiet, the location is very central to great restaurants, parks, and neighborhoods. I seldom eat at this W location but everytime it's been satisfactory. May 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmy152662 Amazing staff Great hotel and Matt at th front desk was incredibly attentive to our needs. Felt like we were at four seasons. May 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patti117 Thank you for Listening I had recently published a review detailing my dissatisfaction with how this property recognized Starwood Platinum guests. Mr. Gerald Tellez reached out to me and my last 2 stays since then have been stellar - upgraded to beautiful corner suites - one for a 10 day stay. I want to recognize the hotel for listening to their frequent guests and responding so positively. It's a beautiful hotel, in the midst of great dining options - and the lobby and restaurant have recently undergone a great renovation. Make this your choice for New York business and leisure travel. May 10, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Wardak68 Not worth it I'm a Platinum Member and truly enjoy W Hotels. However, I have now stayed this hotel several times. I have to admit I have never had a pleasant experience. The staff and front desk are not warm, welcoming or friendly. Very unfortunate. One time use their Whatever Whenever service and after taking a bath realized the instead of getting me bath salt they had given me baking seasoning and realized it after taking the bath and it all sticking to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GOLDYXXX WHATEVAH, WHEREEVAH "W" HOTEL UNION SQ NYC ...a wonderful experience at the "W-Hotel" @ S. Park Ave / Union Square ! I was in the Big Apple for only a 1-night stay on business. Ho hum...but, not at the "W"...from when I arrived curbsite, Richard helped me with my car and luggage - friendly and helpful. The reception was exemplary - Natalie checked me in with a smile and professionalism and even followed up with me to see that I was comfortable and happy. INDEED! I was refreshed in the AM, secured a great business deal and cannot wait to get back to the "W" Union Square. The local area cuisine is to die for (recommend the Union Square Cafe" with the park and outside food market extraordinaire.

Rated 4 out of 5 by reds1 NY stay Although the hotel was great, the room was incredibly hot. Had the thermostat set on 65 however it was over 75 in the room and not conducive for sleep. I did not bother to complain as this the second time I have had this problem and it never was fixed, April 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by clevergirl Elevators, food, and scene Only two small elevators worked, making for long waits and crowded rides. The restaurant has upscaled, and this makes it almost impossible for a weary business traveler to crash after a long flight or a long day of hustling. In-room dining? I couldn't even find the menu. It was excellent food, but not what I wanted, needed or appreciated. Finally, the lobby is a super "scene", more geared toward non-guests who want to be cool. Other W hotels deliver a far better stay. April 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by MT210 Great location The best thing about this W is the location. Close to everything. The lobby layout has always seemed odd. The Bar was fun, good bartender and beer selection, good bites. Room was average for a W, staff was average. Will certainly come back and bring friends. March 28, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rockdoc99 Great expectations My wife and I had previously been pampered at the W Hotel in Barcelona and therefore for our trip to New York to celebrate our wedding anniversary we chose the W Hotel on Union Square because of its central location on LES. Our first impressions were hopeful. Courteous staff in reception who assured us we had been given an upgraded room. Our room turned out to be a small corner suite with a view over Union Square - nice! However, when we returned later and went to bed we were disturbed br severe drafts from both bedroom windows, from which not even the heavy curtains could shield us. Then, we were wakened in the early hours by what sounded like sawing through metal. This was caused by the wind whistling through the leaky windows. Unfortunately, it remained very windy during almost the whole of our stay and we experienced this sawing sound most nights. There were ostensbly three guest lifts in the hotel, but it seemed only two were actually in use, and waiting times for a lift could be quite long. We missed having a kettle in our room nd the facility to make a cup of tea or coffee - somthing we have come to expect in a quality hotel. So, this W Hotel failed to live up to our expectations. We are glad that we stayed here, though, for the hotel's location - just where we wanted to be in New York. But I think we'll be looking for something better on our next trip. March 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiny999 Great location and great service We often stay at the W Union Square when visiting NYC. We love the proximity to the park, and to shops and wonderful restaurants. The afternoon we checked in for this trip we were greeted with glasses of Prosecco in the lobby ~ what a nice way to begin! Our most recent visit corresponded with the "soft opening" of the new restaurant that is attached to the hotel. Dinner was delicious ~ definitely better than Olives. I needed a yoga mat during my stay and I hadn't brought mine. One phone call and maybe ten minutes later, a yoga mat was brought to the room for me to use. I very much appreciated this. We first started staying at the hotel about five years ago. The rooms now seem to be in need of some cosmetic upgrades ~ the desk in our room had its legs askew, and the wallpaper was in some slight disrepair. The bed and pillows were wonderful as usual. We enjoy the W Union Square and hope to be back again soon. March 17, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by sadl Excellent Service Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service at this hotel. All of the front desk staff were wonderful, with a particular shout out to Gerald & Mia. Gerald went above and beyond, taking my phone calls before my trip to discuss room types and make suggestions, and Mia when I checked in for thinking outside the box. Gerald really came through for us, when we were jet lagged & tired from a red eye flight, he made sure to have our room ready asap. Besides the front desk, the door men are great, and just the level of overall service was really refreshing. The restaurant apparently reopened recently, and the food was really outstanding. March 16, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 Windows are NOT sound or weatherproof Room was very loud. The cold breeze could be heard coming through the window as well, even though everything was shut. They offered to move me, but my baggage was already unpacked and had to leave early the next day. Also, I am still waiting for my receipt. When I checked out, they said they would email it to me, but I still have not received it. I just called, and now waiting to see if they will send me my receipt for wi-fi. March 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by darv Splendid Always The W Union Square maintains an outstanding level of excellence after 10 or more years. As a monthly guest I have been there through all the changes over the years. The staff are amazingly consistent, partly because there is so little turnover, and when there is they know how to recruit great staff. Gerald is an awesome manager who keeps a wonderful equilibrium type vibe going that makes everyone at ease and feel at home. The place is great from top to bottom. Always a treat being there. February 25, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by leeleepdx This hotel has Lorna I was in NYC for 2 weeks working overnight shifts and my only sanity came from Lorna from housekeeping taking such good care of me. She told the rest of the staff to be sure to leave me alone during the day so I could sleep because she was aware of my work schedule. She was aware because she actually asked and genuinely cared about me which was really comforting when you are working 20 hours a day and sleeping only 3-4. I will come definatly return to the hotel as long as she is still working there. February 15, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by jdb1010 Awful Staff Responsiveness platinum member. Worst W I have stayed out. Housekeeping threw away personal effect including a personal calendar. Manager was unhelpful and unresponsive. He never responded to an email after the stay. Would never recommend this hotel. February 11, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Patti117 Choose another Starwood Property They do nothing to recognize or upgrade SPG Guests. I'm starwood lifetime platinum and I've been lied to and simply ignored when expecting ANY kind of room upgrade. They will tell you there are no room upgrades and you can show them the starwood app that shows all the different room types available. I suggest the GM reach out to Mark Eberwein at the W Los Angeles where they make me feel like family. In New York I'd suggest the Parker Meridien February 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by BillN Classic W Iif you've ever stayed in a W, you know the pluses and minuses; stylish with a beat, and sometimes it's overdone. All the comforts are here. One oddity: in an inversion of the usual practice, the Platinum amenity breakfast can be taken only via room service. While some might enjoy that, we declined the chance. We'd much prefer getting out of our room, albeit a nice one, and we would rather be on our own schedule instead of waiting for a tray delivery. January 23, 2015

New Virtual Portal Connects Army Command Worldwide
June 29, 2012
By By Emily Gee, PEO C3T MilTech Solutions
Related Links
The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) recently implemented an innovative Microsoft SharePoint portal for its workforce, which will centralize command data and applications to a single location for the first time.
Not only will the new capability enable the reorganization and management of its data dealing with the life-cycle support of communications-electronics systems across the Army, but it will also connect more than 13,000 CECOM employees worldwide.
"The command now has a collaboration tool that the entire workforce is able to use," said Patricia O'Connor, CECOM's Chief Information Officer. "It also serves as a good communications tool to get the word out on what's critical to everyone in the organization at the same time."
The portal was announced to the workforce at a command-wide town hall meeting hosted by Maj. Gen. Robert S. Ferrell, CECOM Commanding General, on 28 June at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. The CECOM Chief Information Office began designing the portal in 2011. The design allows for different levels of information sharing, including command-wide directives, organization-based communications, and internal collaboration among employees, said Linda Vanbemmel, the project manager for CECOM SharePoint implementation.
The CECOM SharePoint is open to all its employees. The main splash page consists of command-wide communications. In addition, personnel in each directorate and staff organization within CECOM can access specific sites in order to conduct internal, daily work that can be kept private and secure. All data for the site is stored at a secure facility in Radford, Va.
"The portal will eliminate a lot of redundancy and streamline processes," said Renee Ullman, content manager for CECOM. "In this time of fiscal and resource constraints for the Army, CECOM as a whole will be able to work smarter and more economically."
Cost Savings for the Command
The centralization of data and applications will also reduce the workload on individual employees by helping to automate processes such as creating weekly activity reports, managing documents and keeping track of deadlines and workflows, O'Connor said.
For example, when entering weekly activity reports, each individual will go into their team site in SharePoint and create a report. The report will automatically transmit to a supervisor. Using the portal, leadership can choose information to roll up to a higher level report, eliminating the need to cut and paste from various e-mails or word documents.
"Right now, because we have data everywhere and because email is our primary communications tool, I think we're working harder than we need to," O'Connor said. "SharePoint will automate processes so it will be easier for employees to do their job and we can save time and money."
Through the portal, O'Connor hopes to realize cost savings for the command by creating a centralized inventory of applications, such as suspense trackers and calendars. In order to achieve an Army directive of data center consolidation, O'Connor plans to eliminate 30-40 percent of existing applications across the command over the next year.
"Because our employees are in disparate locations, stove-piping is our biggest challenge as a command," O'Connor said. "I want each employee to be able to understand everything; all the missions that we do, but also how we do those missions and what tools and products are best used for them."
CECOM plans to eliminate six existing organization-based suspense tracking systems and create a central suspense tracking system for the command on the new SharePoint portal. A master calendar for the command is also currently under development.
Consolidating applications to one command-wide instance will ensure employees are accessing the correct data and collaborating across the world.
Effective Records Management
CECOM is also using their SharePoint capability to begin a large-scale records management initiative to ensure the proper storage and archival of more than three terabytes of data.
Through the portal, employees across the command will be able to work on documents on team and organizational sites. However, once employees declare a draft document as a valid, official Army record, it will transfer to a records management environment within the SharePoint portal and be searchable for the entire command.
Once the record has reached its archival point as determined by the Army records retention schedule, it will either be destroyed or archived into the Army Records Information Management System automatically, said Janet Wallen, records manager for CECOM G-6.
"Because all the records will be in one location, and the process to move it or archive will be automated, it will be easier to track and safeguard our nation's resources," O'Connor said.
All CECOM employees will undergo three hours of training for SharePoint and a records management overview to fully understand the capabilities of the portal. Training classes are offered twice a week in person from July to September, with more dates to follow.
"I want every employee to understand the CECOM mission and the importance of their individual role in the CECOM family, as well as the best way to continue supporting that mission," O'Connor said.

Other Governance Models for
Municipal Utilities
|Municipal utility reporting to city council (e.g., Austin, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colorado).
|Independent city agency (e.g., Jacksonville, Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee).
|City-owned corporation (e.g., Toronto, Ontario; Safford, Arizona).
|Municipal Utility District (e.g., Sacramento Municipal Utility District).
|Joint Powers Agency (e.g., Southern California Public Power Authority).
A number of cities simplify governance by having the municipal utility report directly to the city council. The Colorado Springs City Charter, for example, designates the city council as the board of directors for the utility. The utility executive director then reports directly to the council. Austin, Texas, as well as a number of California cities— including Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena—have similar governance structures but include council-appointed citizen advisory commissions.
In 1998 Colorado Springs also adopted a new governance framework "suited to today's business reality in which flexibility, quick responsiveness, and clear long-term direction are essential to success." The framework, largely developed by consultant John Carver, 26 seeks to separate the policy functions of the board from the operational re-


text: State Advocacy Page Content Current Pending Legislation2015 State Statute Report 2015 DBIA's team of advocacy professionals are working in many states including Minnesota, South Carolina, New Mexico and Iowa, but the following is a list of some of the most recent developments this year. Washington With the passage of HB 5997, the Washington Department of Transportation was authorized and encouraged to use design-build for projects over $2 million, reducing the price threshold after which design-build may be used from its previous limit of projects exceeding $10 million. The bill was introduced by Representative Curtis King who serves as Chair of the House Transportation Committee. The passage of this bill expands the opportunity for design-build to demonstrate how well it can work for smaller-sized projects. Louisiana Baton Rouge saw two design-build bills enacted this session to expand and extend design-build authority for regional transit authorities and ports within the state. With the sunset date for ports to utilize design-build set to expire in 2015, enacting an extension was a top legislative priority for DBIA this year. This goal was fulfilled by the passage of SB 66, extending the ports' authority until 2020. The second bill, SB 159, authorized any regional transit authority to let a design-build contract for new ferries on the Mississippi River. Texas Passage of HB 1 and HB 20 in Texas remove the sunset date for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)'s design-build authorization. Together, the bills allow TxDOT to more easily plan for the future, and continue to successfully use the design-build project delivery method. Design-build has been a valuable tool for TxDOT to meet the growing transportation needs in Texas. Failure to reauthorize design-build legislation would have been a major setback for an agency that has had a very successful design-build program. New York DBIA worked with coalition partners, particularly the NYC DOT, to expand design-build authority for another two years. New York State first approved design-build authority in 2011, and has entered into dozens of design-build contracts since then, including one for the multi-billion dollar Tappan Zee Bridge replacement. California Passage of SB 785 culminates the longtime industry effort to standardize design-build laws in California, and it is the eighth bill passed in California in the past year expanding design-build authority. SB 785 streamlines California design-build laws and provides clarity and increased opportunity for project owners and practitioners. 2014 Success In Illinois, we supported efforts to pass SB 492, which extends the State Building Commission's design-build authority until 2018. We were involved in this effort early and were proud to watch it pass and be signed into law in January. In Utah, we worked to pass SB 190, revising contract types and definitions for rulemaking that made design-build even easier to use. In the state of Washington, we helped pass two significant bills that were both signed by the Governor in March. HB 2555 keeps proposals submitted for design-build projects exempt from public disclosure until the highest scoring finalist has been named or the selection process has been terminated. This is essential to ensuring companies' bids, methods and advantages remain confidential, increasing the competitiveness of the process. We also helped pass SB 6001 which provides funding for two design-build projects: the I-405 Kirkland Stage 2 widening project and the SR 167 Puyallup Bridge Replacement. The two projects are high-profile in the state, so the fact that the legislation mandates use of design-build is a testament to how reliably design-build delivers high-quality infrastructure. In Minnesota, we were successful in gaining passage of HB 677, a bill funding a new state legislative office building that specifically calls for using design-build to deliver the project. Following passage, however, there were nearly ten bills calling for new onerous requirements on design-build projects and repeal of HB 677. Thus far, we have worked to successfully block all of these bills or have the unnecessary requirements stripped out of the bill. 2013 Success DBIA had major victories in West Virginia and Arkansas, two states which had State Department of Transportation (DOT) pilot programs with strict limits on the number of allowed design-build projects. The bill passed in West Virginia (SB 553) would eliminate an expiration (or "sunset") and the limitation on the number of design-build projects transforming the pilot program to a permanent program. Up to $50 million per year could go towards design-build projects and any unused portions could be rolled over to another year up to $150 million. Similarly, the Arkansas bill (HB 1702) eliminates the requirement that design-build could only be used on projects in excess of $50 million and ended limits on the number of design-build projects. In a significant victory for DBIA, North Carolina passed HB 857 authorizing all local governments to use design-build and P3s including QBS (read the press release here). North Carolina has been the epicenter of local Qualification Based Selection (QBS) legislation. Before DBIA helped pass this law, North Carolina local governments had to receive legislative approval on a case-by-case basis to use design-build. The passage of HB 857 makes North Carolina one of the best states to do design-build projects. Three states - Georgia, Kentucky and Illinois - were states with limited DOT design-build authority, only using design-build on a "low bid" basis. In Georgia's case, its DOT had been very aggressive in its use of design-build but felt the low bid only option had its limitations. The newly enacted "best value" law, SB 70, will allow GDOT to take its design-build program to the next level, and choose design-build teams based on qualifications. Kentucky and Illinois took a more conservative approach: they introduced legislation calling for pilot programs allowing best value. The Kentucky bill (HB 445) was recently enacted and the Illinois bill is still pending. Indiana passed legislation giving airports authority to use design-build.

Describes a software architecture for storage services in computational grid environments. Based upon a lightweight message-passing paradigm, the architecture enables the provision and composition of active, distributed storage services. These services can then cooperatively provide access to distributed storage in a manner potentially optimized for dataset and resource environments. We report on the design and implementation of a distributed file system and a dataset-specific satellite imagery service using the architecture. We discuss data movement and storage issues and implications for future work with the architecture
