Plantronics Audio 90 headset
The price, the toughness, 3m cable, upfront yet layered sound, great mic
(For the fussy), the looks; bass is so good, take care with repeated stabbing sound effects.
We'll let you into a little secret: I've been enjoying this headset too much to get round to reviewing it in its own right, although it was used for comparison purposes with Sennheiser's PC 155 set (reviewed here) last year. Frankly, Plantronics' only problem is when to discontinue this classic, wallet-friendly headset with the killer noise cancelling microphone and cans that compete with - and beat some - hi fi headphones in the same bracket. If I'm being brutal, any other set underneath the 90s other than the 60s, could be axed and I wouldn't really care as long as the top of this range survived.
The cable is a nice, long and true 3m and the 3.5mm jacks are similarly strengthened in rigid plastic. The volume control can be fixed with a handy shirt clip and features a mute for the volume. There have been some complaints about the cabling online but I've been placing my full weight on a single metal chair leg along various parts of the 3m wire for the past year or so as well as dropping the headset at various angles more than ten times from just under a height of 3ft - and they're still working, although the rubber inner balancing band for the headphones has had to be re-attached. For our review sample anyway, it's fared much better than the DJ-targeted Sennheiser HD 200s which needed to go for repair after a single drop. So, the Audio 90s are, from my experience, ready for a good battering unlike many modern gadgets. The fact that they look functional (or to iPod fans, ugly) and you'll never take them out of the house also helps the lastability in a big way.
In essence, that's it…until it's time to use them. The rubber inner band allow the 90s to adjust to a wide variety of head shapes, helped by the deliberate choice to let the headphone stalks to be pushed by your ears out to a width of around 8in - much like the Sennheiser PC155s but for spending £60 less, it uses two bands. Starting with the microphone we were happy to find we could talk to our friends in Canada and they commented that we were quite clear and had to ask to turn the television off as they could hear the news- up until then they were struggling to hear us on cheaper analog headsets.
Start a game and the sound effects will immediately pound your eardrums, so for repetitive stabbing sounds like explosions and gunshots in Counter-Strike Source, or any other wargame, care must be taken not to have them up too loud. We've worn them for hours at a time for just working at the PC and listening to music though.
It's with music that the Audio 90s are a revelation - lacking the refined stage which the Sennheiser PC155s will create (and not really expecting one for £30 as opposed to almost £100), the Audio 90s will instead give you bass - more bass than you'd expect for the price, although once again, not more than a set of headphones without a mic, dedicated to DJing. The Plantronics set is often helped by having a wider outer fur pad covering the earpieces (by half a centimere in circumference), making them more open-backed and airy than the Sennheisers though.
This means that the higher frequencies aren't necessarily drowned out as you'd expect, giving you a much more laddish, upfront, attacking sound for music. Even so, when required, such as on Christopher Young's Entrapment soundtrack score, the Audio 90s can be shockingly subtle. However the headset's better with strings and guitars than piano. In the track where it switches from score to guitars though, the attacking power of the 90s is at its peak, so film soundtracks with equal amounts of synth and drums could still be appreciated. The 15th Century Ave Maria by Calli from Donnie Darko finally defeated the 90s with its multiple layers of choir singing. However for The Replacement Killers soundtrack, the two sets were about equal with Harry Gregson-Willams' mixture of synths and sampled orchestra. While you wouldn't listen to classical-based soundtracks through the Audio 90s all the time, for music accompaniment in games the headset's balanced enough.
For the Bond song test, the Plantronics set separated Shirley Bassey's overpowering voice and those subtle bongo drums in the final chorus teased out by the digital remastering, while the clipped 80s sound of Duran Duran on View To A Kill was suitably tight. It gave weight to overproduced pop like Madonna and Britney, made the horns in Jay-Z's production of Beyonce's Crazy in Love even more funky and her voice (including the "O-O" vocal break) was balanced with the background track, again not allowed to take over the whole song. The guitars and slap of the snare drum on Justin Timberlake's Like I Love You, once again, stood out well from the singer's voice.
Ultimately we just ended up feeding the headset more of the music it liked- bassline-driven dance or rock, or anything with bass (for example, Spitfire by The Prodigy or the Master And Commander soundtrack's two main themes)- and it was consistently good on playback. To be fair, we were deliberately pushing it to its limits, and another £20 would of course buy you something better. However for computer use you may want the microphone, so if you're on a budget, it's here that the Audio 90s continue to rule unless you have unlimited funds and small ears, in which case the Sennheisers are beckoning.
If you thought you might want to listen to music on a PC headset as often as play games or chat with it, and prefer that music without reserve, then look no further - grab a set before Plantronics bring down the axe. It's unusual to have an enduring Hot Product at pocket-lint.co.uk but for the money, there's little else to touch it aside from a newer headset from the same company, or the Audio 60s for around £5-10 less.

BBC HD celebrates first birthday
The BBC is celebrating the first birthday of its HD channel. Although trialled throughout 2006, the channel didn't officially launch until 7 December 2007 when it was given approval for go-ahead by the BBC Trust.
Now the channel broadcasts between 6.20pm and midnight with extended hours at weekends and for live events that are in HD. This will increase over Christmas and to nine hours a day during 2009.
On the service's anniversary, Danielle Nagler, head of BBC HD, BBC Vision has acknowledged its "teething pains" that have included disappearing sound, lip synch issues and probs with picture quality but says "BBC HD is still only a toddler and there's a fair amount of maturing to do".
In a blog post about the "birthday" Nagler says: "I hope that over the next year we will be able to offer more stable delivery and a richer mix of programming on the channel so that whatever your personal passions there is always something that you can find to engage with".

Family story covers century in district
Siblings Keith Prigg, Bettine Wills and Roy Prigg are marking 100 years since their parents settled in the district.ELAINE COONEY February 14, 2014 10:25am
Siblings Keith Prigg, Bettine Wills (nee Prigg) and Roy Prigg are celebrating 100 years since their parents settled in the district.
This year marks the 100th anniversary since the Prigg family moved to the district.
As the Prigg family recalled the simple life growing up on a Fairy Dell farm their eyes lit up.
''We had the best life,'' Bettine Wills said.
''We didn't have a much but we thought we had a lot because we had each other.''
Keith and Roy Prigg and Bettine Wills are the last of Edith and Ernest Prigg's 15 children in the district.
Their younger sister, Doris Henderson, lives in Melbourne.
Edith and Ernest moved from Colac to Rochester in 1914 when the irrigation system opened and they started a dairy farm.
Bettine recalled her father walking around the land with a bucket slung around his arm throwing fertiliser on the land.
Every morning and afternoon the family would milk 100 cows by hand.
The siblings recalled how they would pace their two-and-a-half-kilometre hike to Nanneella West School to ensure they got there on time.
Roy remembered how he would run to certain trees and the bridge.
''If you saw the inspector outside you'd run like hell to the school,'' he said.
The school, which closed in 1981, had 40 students from grade one to eight.
Keith said a combined classroom helped the students learn.
''When you were in grade three you were looking at what grade four were doing and when your time came around you knew it,'' he said.
Bettine recalled the girls getting up to mischief such as pulling each other's plaits and talking in class.
Punishment would be standing out of class.
''Girls didn't get the strap. Only boys got it,'' she said.
The trio laughed as they said Roy escaped a lashing from the strap during his school days.
''I was either good or cunning,'' he laughed.
Keith remembered the students hiding the strap and one day it ended up in a bird's nest.
At home the 15 children squashed into a small house until the family bought extra land in 1937.
The boys then slept in a building away from the main house and took full advantage of the freedom.
''Sometimes we'd go on our bikes to dances in Stanhope and Girgarre,'' Roy said.
Bettine said the family would go to the pictures on Mackay St on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
''I can recollect the baby in the pram and we'd leave her out in the foyer,'' she said.
At the interval they would run to one of two cafes in Gillies St for a drink.
One of the trio's favourite memories was a huge gift from an English cricket player.
Along with the neighbours and friends the family played cricket at Prigg's paddock every summer.
They did not have real equipment so improvised with scrap material from around the farm.
After the cricket player visited the farm and returned to England, a large box arrived at the Prigg household.
It was full of cricket bats and balls.
''They were real leather balls,'' Keith said still beaming at the memory.

529 Plans: Types Of Plans
By Denise Appleby
There are two types of 529 plans:
- Prepaid tuition programs, which may be offered by the state of an eligible educational institution. Prepaid tuition programs allow for the advance purchase of credits for the designated beneficiary. These are usually established during enrollment periods established by the state of the eligible educational institution.
- College savings plans allow contributions to be made to the account on behalf of the designated beneficiary. These can usually be established at any time, including immediately after the designated beneficiary is born.
The designated beneficiaryunder a 529 plan is the student the plan is established for. The designated beneficiary can be changed to an eligible person. Typically, the designated beneficiary is changed if the current designated beneficiary will not need the funds in the 529 plan for eligible education expenses. If a state or local government or certain tax-exempt organizations purchase an interest in a 529 plan as part of a scholarship program, the designated beneficiary is the person who receives the interest as a scholarship.
For purposes of a 529 plan, an eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education. This includes virtually all accredited public, nonprofit and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) post-secondary institutions.
Certain educational institutions located outside the
Individuals should check with the educational institution to determine if it is an eligible education institution for 529 plan purposes.

The Edmonton Oilers have hired Bill Scott as assistant general manager.
Scott spent the past four seasons as GM of the Oklahoma City Barons, Edmonton's American Hockey League affiliate. The Barons made the Calder Cup playoffs all four years that Scott was in charge.
"I would like to welcome Bill and his family to Edmonton," Oilers GM Craig MacTavish said in a statement. "Bill has done an exceptional job managing all facets of the Barons day-to-day operations and has played a large part in their success over the past four years."
Scott, a 33-year-old from Unionville, Ont., will be responsible for player and staff contract negotiations, scheduling, salary arbitration, salary cap management and day-to-day administrative duties. He will also serve the club's liaison to the NHL regarding matters pertaining to the collective bargaining agreement.
He replaces Ricky Olczyk, who was offered another position within the Oilers organization but declined.
"I'd like to thank Ricky for his seven years of service with the Oilers organization and wish him nothing but the best during this transition period and with future endeavours," MacTavish said.

He was one of seven Florentines who had joined the Confraternity of the Blessed Virgin (the Laudesi) in a particularly lax period in the city's history and who were inspired by a vision on the feast of the Assumption to take up a life of solitude and prayer. After nearly fifteen years of austerity at a hermitage on Monte Senario he took the name in 1240 of Servants of Mary, or Servites. Six were ordained, developed as mendicant friars under the direction of James of Poggibonsi and Bishop Ardingo of Florence and established many houses and foreign missions. Br. Bounfiglio served as its first prior general from 1240 to 1256 and died on Jan 1. St. John Bounagiunta succeded him, St. Bartholomew Amidei (Br. Hugh) established the order in Paris and St. Ricovero Ugoccione (Br. Sostenesw) in lGermany. SS. Benedict dell'Antella (Br. Manettus) were ordained; St. Alexis Falconieri became a lay brother and was the only one to live to see the order approved by Pope Benedict XI in 1304. The "Seven Holy Founders" of the Servites were canonized in 1887 by Pope Leo XIII. His feastday is Feb. 12.

France to impose fat tax on sugary drinks such as Coca-Cola and Fanta
- New laws come days after announcement that tomato ketchup and mayonnaise will be rationed in schools
- 20 million French people are overweight, survey says
The new tax will add just over 1p to a can of fizzy drink such as Coca-Cola
France is to impose a 'fat tax' on sugary soft drinks in a bid to combat soaring child obesity.
The new tax will add just over 1p to a can of fizzy drink like Coca-Cola or Fanta but zero-calorie 'diet' drinks will be exempt from the charges, the government said.
The new measures - a hike of from 3 to 6 Euro cents per litre on sugary drinks - are also expected to raise more than £100 million a year for government coffers.
The revenue would be used to fund lower social security charges for farm workers, the government said.
The move comes days after France also announced it would be rationing tomato ketchup and salt in school canteens.
Under the rules, tomato sauce and mayonnaise will only be on dinner tables once a week when chips are served and would be removed when traditional French dishes such as roast veal are served.
Denmark also recently announced a new higher tax on foods containing high levels of saturated fat.
French MP Gilles Carrez said of his country's latest soft drinks tax: 'This project will have both health benefits as children turn away from sugary drinks, and revenue benefits for our core agricultural workforce.'
A recent study found a fast-food diet of junk food is turning the traditionally skinny French into a nation of fatties.
More than 20 million French people are now overweight and seven million of those are clinically obese - double the figure for 14 years ago, according to France's National Institute for Health and Medical Research.
Despite still being officially Europe's second thinnest people, the weight of the average French person has soared by half a stone to 11 stone 4lbs since 1997, the report found.
Obesity: Government's are now tackling excessive weight gain in their populations and are targeting sugary drinks. France is bringing in measures to ration mayonnaise and tomato ketchup in schools
A French health ministry spokesman added: 'We French may be among the least overweight in Europe but we have nothing to be complacent about.
'Obesity is rising as swiftly in France as it is in other EU countries and action must be taken before it gets any more serious.'
Europe's fattest nation is Greece, where 70 per cent of people are overweight, and 30 per cent are obese.
Britons are Europe's fifth fattest, behind Germany, Finland and Ireland, according to a TNS Sofres survey of 500,000 people across the EU.
The NHS defines being overweight as having a body mass index - your weight to height ratio - of between 25 and 30, and obese as over 30.

I've been feeling so stressed out lately, to the point where I don't know what's causing my stress. My grades are good, my feedbacks are good. Nothing is wrong on the surface level, but I wake up tired and feeling like poop. For weeks, I've had this headache that won't go away.
I wonder if I'm unconsiously depressed. I can't think of anything that is wrong with my life right now. Everything is perfect. Everyone is nice. Yet, I find myself wanting to go to sleep even when I'm not really tired (sorry, this is odd typing it out).
My diet has been good because I've been working out to gain muscle, and I've been really conscious about eating food that is packed with protein. I get 8 hours of sleep every night, too.
Sigh. I hate being in a slump. I hope it gets better!😦

'NAIT tags not the answer'
Relevant offers
A South Island farmer has added his voice to those of others who have criticised the new National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) scheme.
Barry Everett says the NAIT tagging system is not up to standard and has not been fully researched.
He runs cattle on 25 acres near the Levels Raceway, north of Timaru.
Instead of the tagging system cattle could be microchipped, he says.
The electronic animal tagging system was launched by National Animal Identification and Tracing in July.
Cattle and deer have to be electronically tagged, replacing paper records, under the new system.
The system is designed to create a platform for industry and consumers to track meat products from the pasture to the plate.
But Everett says the system has created problems.
"The biggest problem with them is some of them do not scan; it hasn't been researched properly, I can't believe they haven't done more about it."
Everett believes cattle could be microchipped.
"If you can chip cats and dogs I think you should be able to chip cattle.
"If you chip them in the bone in between their ears the chip won't move."
NAIT chief executive Russell Burnard said there were four potential technologies for tracing animals: Low frequency RFID (radio-frequency identification) ear tags, high frequency RFID ear tags, micro chips and bolus placement.
A comprehensive review of international cattle identification and tracing systems was prepared by MAF - now the Ministry of Primary Industries - in 2009.
Burnard said external technologies, such as ear tagging was favoured for animals entering the food chain.
"Methods that require internal placement run the risk of causing a food contamination issue which would mean the farmer would be unable to sell the meat from his or her animals.
"The decision was made to select low frequency technology for the NAIT scheme, RFID ear tags, because part of NAIT's brief from its major shareholders (government and industry) was to select proven and commercially available technology," he said.
"Low frequency is still the only proven and commercially available RFID technology for animal identification.
"There still is no proven range of ultra high frequency (UHF) animal tags commercially available locally or internationally.
"NAIT, on behalf of farmers, needs to ensure performance and retention standards are met in the practical application of RFID technology for the NAIT scheme," Burnard said.

In this superb account, Lewis A. Erenberg offers a vivid portrait of Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, their individual careers, and their two epic fights, shedding light on what these fighters represented to their nations, and why their second bout took on such international importance. Erenberg shows how in the first fight Schmeling shocked everyone with a dramatic twelfth-round knockout of Louis, becoming a German national hero and a (unwilling) symbol of Aryan superiority. In fact, the second fight was seen around the world in symbolic terms--as a match between Nazism and American democracy. Erenberg discusses how Louis' dramatic first-round victory was a devastating blow to Hitler, who turned on Schmeling and, during the war, had the boxer (then serving as a paratrooper) sent on a series of dangerous missions. Louis, meanwhile, went from being a hero of his race--"Our Joe"--to the first black champion embraced by all Americans, black and white, an important step forward in United States race relations. Erenberg also describes how, after the war, the two boxers became symbols of German-American reconciliation. With Schmeling as a Coca Cola executive, and Louis down on his luck, the former foes became friends, and when Louis died, Schmeling helped pay for his funeral.
Here then is a stirring and insightful account of one of the great moments in boxing history, a confrontation that provided global theater on an epic scale.
This exciting new look at twentieth century American art explores the relationships between American art, museums, and audiences in the century that came to be called the "American century."

Nadal withdraws from next month's Australian Open
December 29, 2012 - 16:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from next month's Australian Open because his recovery from a persistent knee injury has been hampered by a stomach virus, BBC Sport reported.
Former world number one Nadal, 26, has suffered from tendonitis in his left knee since losing in the second round of Wimbledon in June. The injury forced the Spaniard, who has won 11 Grand Slam events, to withdraw from both London 2012 and the U.S. Open. He also pulled out of an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi on December 27.
"My knee is much better and the rehabilitation process has gone well, as predicted by the doctors, but this virus didn't allow me to practise this past week," Nadal said in a statement. "Therefore I am sorry to announce that I will not play in Doha and the Australian Open, as we had initially scheduled."
Nadal, who won the Australian Open in 2009, also withdrew from this year's ATP World Tour Finals in London.
The world number four had announced on his Facebook page that he had been advised to rest while he recovers from a fever caused by the stomach infection.
Nadal said it was a difficult decision to pull out of his third consecutive Grand Slam through injury.
"You need your body to be at its best for the Australian Open," he told the Australian Open website. "It was a difficult decision and I am extremely disappointed to be missing such a great event."
The left-hander now hopes to return at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel event in Acapulco which starts on 25 February.
"It hurts to have to wait another 12 months before I get another chance [but] in the meantime, the focus is now on desperately trying to get back on the tour," he said.
Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said: "It is completely understandable and we really feel disappointed for him."

Retailer suing Apple, Amazon, for deleted Amazon listings
An independent retailer that sells Apple products on Amazon is suing both companies, CNET reports. The company, Hard 2 Find Accessories, has accused Amazon of pulling product listings due to Apple's demands and suspending the Hard 2 Find account. According to the lawsuit, Apple requested that Amazon pull the listings because it thought the products were counterfeit — Hard 2 Find denied those allegations, while claiming that Apple and Amazon conspired to prevent the retailer from selling Apple products at an "aggressive price point." Hard 2 Find claims it's losing more than $180,000 a month due to Amazon's conduct.

Giving Pet Liquor Cruel Treatment
Dear Ann Landers: This is a question I'll bet you've never been asked before. Can animals get drunk? There is no one else I can ask without raising some suspicion.
Our terrier, "Prince," was staggering around the house last night, bumping into things and acting very strangely. After a while, he fell asleep in the kitchen but not in his usual place. It was like he passed out. The snoring was so loud, I was afraid it would disturb our upstairs neighbors.
I could not figure out what caused this peculiar behavior until I checked Prince's water bowl. Sure enough, the water had been spiked with a generous amount of bourbon. I immediately asked my husband, "Who could have done such a cruel thing?" He replied, "I did. It was a scientific experiment. I wanted to see if booze affects animals the same way it affects people."
Ann, I wouldn't feel comfortable talking to our vet about this, but I really need to know - how harmful is it? It would not surprise me one bit if my husband did it again. He got such a kick out of it. Many thanks for your help. - Married to an Oddball in Ohio
Dear Ohio: Alcohol affects animals the same way it affects humans. Prince was intoxicated. Getting an animal drunk is not amusing. It is abuse. If this were reported to the humane society, Prince could be taken away. Please make this clear to your husband. The man has either a screw loose or a serious mean streak. Either way, he bears watching.
Dear Ann Landers: Our son, "Elliot," and his wife, "Jane," have been married for many years. We have always had a close and loving relationship. In order to visit them, which we enjoy immensely, we must drive quite a distance. No matter how long we are at their home, usually through lunch or dinner, they never offer us anything to eat.
We have frequently taken Elliot and Jane to a restaurant or brought fast food to eat while we are visiting. However, on the few occasions that we failed to do this, they did not offer us so much as a glass of water. We don't expect a big meal, Ann. Just a sandwich or a small salad would be appreciated. Whenever they visit in our home, we treat them very well and give them three meals a day or offer breakfast, lunch or dinner at a restaurant.
I am becoming increasingly baffled by this and am beginning to dread our visits because of it. Elliot and Jane are very considerate of us in every other way, and I am at a loss to understand the reason for this peculiar and ungracious behavior.
How can we let them know how much this bothers us without hurting their feelings or damaging the relationship? - Wisconsin
Dear Wisconsin: It has probably never occurred to Elliot and Jane to offer you something to eat on arrival because they assume you have stopped for something en route.
Next time, before you head their way, I suggest that you make a phone call and ask, "Will you have a snack for us when we arrive, or should we stop at a restaurant before coming over?"
As always, the best way to deal with a dilemma of this kind is straight talk. I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.

The maximum penalty for a priest convicted by a church tribunal is essentially losing his job: being defrocked, or removed from the clerical state. There are no jail terms and nothing to prevent an offender from raping again.
Recently a document obtained by The Associated Press on Friday shows Pope Benedict XVI sacked nearly 400 priests over just two years for sexually molesting children.
According to the reports the number of priests defrocked in 2011 and 2012 reflected a dramatic spike over the 171 priests removed in 2008 and 2009.
The newly uncovered statistics come from data from annual reports compiled by the Vatican to help the Holy See defend itself before a U.N. committee this week in Geneva.

Travelers would prefer to lose their luggage than their phone.
Friday, 27th June 2014
Source : Choice Hotels International, Inc.
Choice Hotels International announced the top ten summer travel trends from its 2014 Summer Travel Survey.
1. More Trips, But Fewer Nights Away
There will be a 17.2 percent increase in the number of leisure trips taken this summer, but travelers will spend fewer nights away, with a decrease of 9.4 percent.
2. The Beach in August
August will be the busiest month for leisure travel this summer. When asked about their preferred leisure travel destination, 43.1 percent of respondents said they would most enjoy a beach, followed by mountains at 12.3 percent and a city at 10.4 percent.
3. Travelers Prefer Driving
The survey found that 75.3 percent of summer travelers are planning to drive to their leisure travel destination this summer, driving an average of 689 miles round-trip. Fifty percent of respondents also said that they would prefer a two-hour drive compared to a flight, bus or train ride to get to their summer vacation.
4. Free High-Speed Internet Most Important
Free high-speed Internet was selected by 65.5 percent of respondents as the "must-have" amenity when selecting a hotel or resort for summer travel. Following free high-speed internet, free continental breakfast and an in-room refrigerator polled highest for needed amenities at 54.5 and 49.6 percent, respectively.
5. Loyalty Programs Influence Travelers' Booking Decisions
The survey also showed that 34.6 percent of travelers say that loyalty and incentive programs influence where, how and when they travel, and over 53 percent of respondents are enrolled in travel rewards programs.
6. Travelers Would Rather Lose Their Luggage than Their Phone
In this increasingly digital world, survey results showed that Millennials and parents with children under 12 years of age would rather lose their luggage than their mobile phone when travelling.
7. Camping is the Least Favorite Vacation
Nearly 40 percent of travelers (38.2 percent) said that camping was the least desirable type of summer vacation.
8. New Locations Trump Old Favorites
Almost 70 percent of respondents (66.8 percent) would prefer to visit somewhere new over returning to a favorite vacation destination this summer.
9. Travelers Want to Explore Cuisines, Unless They Have Kids
When on summer vacation, 28.9 percent of respondents choose to dine at restaurants they can't find at home, unless they are traveling with children. If travelers have children under 12 years of age, 24.5 percent most often visit casual dining restaurants, like TGI Friday's and Applebee's.
10. Millennials are Travelling with Pets
The survey found that Millennials are 21.7 percent more likely than older generations to be traveling with a pet this summer. Correlatively, 34.2 percent said locating a place to stay was the greatest inconvenience when travelling with a pet.
"The Choice Hotels 2014 Summer Travel Survey indicates that almost 90 percent of Americans plan to take an overnight leisure trip this summer," said Patrick Pacious, executive vice president, and Chief Operating Officer at Choice Hotels. "It's critical that hotels stay abreast of the shifting trends in American travel and Choice Hotels wants to ensure that important demographics like Millennials are catered to during their travels."
The Choice Hotels 2014 Summer Travel Survey was conducted by research company, Newlio (www.newlio.com) among 1350 U.S. adults that are planning to take one or more overnight leisure trips this summer.

I was told my stomach pain was indigestion. In fact, it was a lethal cancer
Dane Wilde went to bed on Saturday, July 23, last year a happy and — he thought — healthy man. The 49-year-old managing director, who ran his own shop-fitting company, ate well, drank moderately, exercised and didn't smoke.
But the next morning he developed severe abdominal pain. It turned out to be a form of cancer that few people survive because it's detected too late.
'As usual, I got up early with my two small daughters, Madeleine, then six, and Olivia, three,' he recalls. 'I felt fine. But when I drank my morning coffee, I suddenly got a dull pain in my stomach, wrapping around to my back. It got worse with every sip.
Determined: Dane with wife Charlotte and daughters Madeleine (left) and Olivia. He has recovered from pancreatic cancer
'I tried to ignore it, but by the afternoon it was crippling, so I went to the on-call GP. He diagnosed indigestion and sent me off with some tablets, but I instinctively knew it was more serious than that.'
The next morning, Dane went to his regular GP and was sent straight to hospital for blood tests. 'Scans picked up nothing, so they diagnosed pancreatitis [an inflamed pancreas] and advised me to abstain from alcohol for a month and eat less processed food.
'I was surprised by this, as I drink very little and eat only fresh food. I was generally very healthy, and had never even smoked.'
A week later, Dane went on holiday with his family to Crete.
'I was no longer in pain, but started having bouts of diarrhoea. My wife, Charlotte, was concerned, but I put it down to foreign food.'
However, just before the end of the holiday, Dane's skin started going yellow, as did the whites of his eyes, and he developed an unbearable itch on the back of his hands that gradually spread to his entire body. Although he didn't realise this at the time, these are all classic signs of jaundice.
'Charlotte and I went on the internet for an explanation. We both sat browsing on our computers, and kept repeatedly returning the same result: pancreatic cancer.
'We cried a lot that night, desperately hoping there would turn out to be another explanation. Cancer is bad enough, but the prognosis for pancreatic cancer is appalling. Just 4 per cent of people survive for five years.'
The pancreas sits behind the stomach. About 15cm long and shaped like a leaf, it produces digestive enzymes to help break down food, as well as insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
Unfortunately, because the pancreas is deep inside the body, this means problems with it are difficult to spot.
'Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates because it is usually quite advanced by the time it's diagnosed,' says Richard Charnley, a consultant pancreatic surgeon at Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne.
'A pancreatic tumour can't be seen or felt — like a breast lump, for example — and it doesn't tend to cause symptoms until it presses on or blocks something.'
An ADDED problem is that when symptoms do appear, they overlap with many benign conditions, such as gallstones or indigestion, so it's easily misdiagnosed.
The most common symptoms are stomach pain, jaundice, weight loss, loss of appetite, bowel problems and back pain (all often the result of a tumour pressing on or blocking internal organs).
'Thirty per cent of cases are caused by smoking,' says Mr Charnley.
Other risks include a diet that is high in processed meat, and being overweight (though doctors are unclear why this should increase the risk). It can also be genetic (one in ten cases) or linked to medical conditions such as diabetes. It's more common in older people, with 80 per cent of cases occurring in over-60s.
When Dane returned home, he went straight to his GP, who immediately sent him to hospital again.
'I asked if she thought it was pancreatic cancer, but she said I was too young for that and it could be a number of other things,' says Dane. 'By this point, I was very yellow, still itching and having almost constant diarrhoea.' Various tests showed only irregularities in enzyme levels. 'The consultant concluded that I must have a blockage or narrowing in the duct between the gallbladder and pancreas that was causing these enzymes to build up.'
Doctors decided to insert a tiny metal tube called a stent to widen or unblock this duct. This was done in early September, but a week later his blood enzymes were irregular again, and another, larger stent was fitted.
Dane continued to insist it was pancreatic cancer. 'I never get ill, and just knew it was serious,' he says. 'However, the doctors had to rule out all the other things it could be before they got to cancer.'
Then, at the end of September, more than two months after his symptoms had started, he had what he thought was a routine appointment with a surgeon who specialised in pancreatic conditions.
'I just thought it was to discuss my symptoms, so my wife didn't come with me,' says Dane. 'The surgeon sat me down and said that my blood results showed no cancer markers, but, on the basis of my continuing symptoms, he believed I had a cancerous tumour on the junction of my bile duct and pancreas.'
Mr Charnley says blood results will quite often come back negative for cancer markers, as pancreatic tumours sometimes release very low levels of the proteins that the test is looking for. Scans do not always pick up tumours either, depending on size and location. The drive home to tell his wife was full of mixed emotions for Dane. 'I was in shock, despite having always believed it was cancer, and started making plans for after my death.
'I thought about phoning a florist to arrange flowers to be delivered to my wife on our wedding anniversaries, and making video messages for my children to watch when they got older.
'But by the time I got home, I had decided it wasn't my time to die, and I still had so much to live for. I was determined to fight it with everything I had.
'Even so, when I told Charlotte, we both broke down in tears.'
Dane didn't want to keep it from his children (he also has three sons, aged 18, 21 and 25 from a previous marriage). 'But I tried to be upbeat by telling them I was going to get better, so they stayed pretty positive throughout.' Dane was one of the fortunate 20 per cent of pancreatic cancer patients eligible for surgery.
'For many patients, because it usually presents so late, the tumour has often infiltrated a major blood vessel or spread to other organs, such as the liver or lungs, making surgery impossible or of no benefit,' says Mr Charnley.
On October 25, Dane kissed his two little girls goodbye and his wife drove him to hospital.
He underwent an operation called Whipple's procedure, the most common type of pancreatic surgery, which involves removing the top of the pancreas (which is where most pancreatic cancer is found), along with part of the small intestine, the gall bladder and part of the bile duct, and sometimes part of the stomach.
Because the pancreas is so near to all of these organs, the risk of spread is high, so they are removed to give the best chance of survival.
The remaining section of the pancreas is reconnected to the small intestine, so pancreatic enzymes and bile can still be released into the digestive system. Surgeons try to avoid removing the whole pancreas, as this leaves a patient diabetic.
'My surgery took 11 hours and I woke up in intensive care with a 45cm (18in) wound along my rib cage,' says Dane. 'My surgeon came to see me and delivered the good news that he had successfully removed a tumour, and there was no visible sign the cancer had spread.'
Six weeks later, Dane started a six-month course of chemotherapy to ensure that all the cancerous cells were destroyed.
'It was gruelling,' he recalls. 'By the third cycle of treatment, I was totally fatigued, my hair had thinned and I had numbness in my legs, but I was happy to be alive.'
Having made it through six cycles, Dane is one of the lucky few to survive a year after diagnosis. Just 18 per cent make it to this landmark.
But despite being the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the UK, it receives just 1 per cent of spending on cancer research. The charity Pancreatic Cancer UK has recently launched a campaign called Raise for Research, aiming to increase investment and raise the profile of this terrible disease.
One year after his operation, Dane has been told there is currently no sign of cancerous cells.
'I'm now working at putting weight back on and getting fit again,' he says. 'I've raised £4,000 so far for a fundraising walk this month. I'm determined to be one of the 4 per cent that make it past five years. I wake up every day grateful that I'm still here.'

Identification of BCR-ABL as the defining leukemogenic event in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) revolutionized the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this disease. Imatinib has been designed as a potent selective BCR-ABL inhibitor, and is now considered the standard of care for the first-line therapy of patients with chronic phase CML based on its high long-term response rates and favorable tolerability profile compared with previous standard approaches. However, resistance to imatinib develops in 2–4% of patients annually. Attempts have been made to improve first-line therapy by increasing imatinib doses or combining imatinib with other drugs in selected cohorts, either in patients with a high risk or in the total population. As an alternative option, treatment escalation according to response at defined milestones has been proposed. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation remains an alternative for eligible patients after failure with imatinib or second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Despite improvement of transplant-related morbidity and mortality during the last decade, front-line transplantation is not recommended for most patients.
