Room was clean and comfortable.
Near town centre and cheaper than many other hotels in town but for the price we paid we would have expected a warmer welcome and friendly service and a better standard room. We only had the breakfast which was very pleasant.

Cotswold Grange
The room was overpriced, even for the upgrade we were given.
There was a long walk to the race course, and a long walk to centre to dine out in the opposite direction, therefore opted out to walk to shops the following day. The hotel was located near the Pittville Pump. Very disappointed with the breakfast as there was not an vegetarian full English option, but other wise overall the food was very good. The staff were accommodating and the hotel was vey clean.

|Vanessa Blair-Lewis Biography
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 07/16/2008
Vanessa Blair-Lewis begins her seventh season at the helm as Head Coach of the Bethune-Cookman University women's basketball team, looking to capitalize on last season's momentum with a young, but experienced squad in 2014-15. Blair-Lewis has utilized her success as both a player and coach in bringing a new attitude and approach to the Lady Wildcats program, building up the program and creating a reputation for B-CU as a tenacious and methodically-coached opponent.
The tail end of the 2013-14 season was very eventful for Coach Blair-Lewis, who celebrated the birth of her first child in late January, and then guided her Lady Wildcats to a late-season run that provided wins in five of the final seven regular season contests. In addition, B-CU registered its first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tournament victory since the 2010 season.
Defeating adversity has been an underlying theme in recent seasons for the Lady Wildcats, and under Blair-Lewis' leadership, B-CU has risen to the challenge, building up a team that has earned at least 10 victories in each of the last four years.
Last season, the team's successes were driven by a pair of players on opposite ends of the spectrum, with outstanding years for senior guard Chastity René Taylor and redshirt freshman center Kailyn Williams. Taylor wrapped up a stalwart two-year career scoring in double figures 24 times, including nine games over 20 points, landing in third on the B-CU Career 3-Pointer leaders list. Williams, on the other hand, made her presence known in the paint, moving to third on the Career Blocks list with a 96-rejection rookie campaign, earning her place on the All-MEAC Third Team and MEAC All-Rookie Team.
Taylor and Williams are just the latest examples of Blair-Lewis' recruiting and development prowess, as 2011-12 senior guard Demetria Frank finished atop the NCAA standings and B-CU program rankings as the national steals leader (4.3 SPG in 2011-12 and 422 career steals).
Blair-Lewis had a breakout year at B-CU in 2009-10, her second season, and was named MEAC Coach of the Year after leading B-CU to a 15-14 mark (including a 9-7 league record and 8-1 at home), which represented both the Lady Wildcats' first winning campaign in eight seasons and highest win total since 1998. The turnaround was of little surprise, given her history. In her stop at Mount St. Mary's before B-CU, Blair-Lewis earned Northeast Conference (NEC) Coach of the Year in her debut season. Familiar territory for Blair-Lewis; she earned NEC Player of the Year twice as a post player at MSM.
In 2011, Blair-Lewis was one of 28 coaches from across the nation selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association to participate in the inaugural session of The Center for Coaching Excellence (CCE).
In her tenure leading the Lady Wildcats, Blair-Lewis has collected a record of 76-102 (40-56 in MEAC), with a career mark of 196-237 through 16 seasons.
"Vanessa Blair represents the total package," said B-CU Athletic Director Lynn W. Thompson at her appointment, "She is a former outstanding student-athlete, professional player and highly-experienced Division I coach from a private, church-related university. We expect her to flourish in leading our program with these great qualities."
With over a decade of playing and coaching in the NEC at Mount St. Mary's, Blair emerged as one of the most notable figures in NEC women's basketball history. Blair led The Mount to a 21-7 record and NEC regular season championship in her inaugural season in 1997-98, and the subsequent Coach of the Year honor made her the first and still the only person named both Player of the Year and Coach of the Year.
The awards continued later that year as she was one of three Mountaineers to make the six-member NEC Team of the Decade and eventually Player of the Decade. In 2003, Mount St. Mary's honored her again by inducting her into the Mount's Sports Hall of Fame. Blair was also named to the Mount St. Mary's women's basketball "30th Anniversary Team" on Feb. 19, 2005.
In addition, Blair-Lewis was inducted into the NEC Hall of Fame on January 24, 2013, making it official that she's now garnered every conceivable honor from the conference through her performances as a player and coach.
During her nine years as a head coach in the NEC, Blair moved up the conference record charts much like she did as a player. She ranks eighth for career conference regular season wins by a head coach; the third most among head coach in the league (87), and a .596 overall conference winning percentage.
In a 77-59 win against Morgan State on Dec. 30, 2005, she picked up her 100th career victory and is quickly approaching her 200th. Blair-Lewis has coached numerous players to conference recognition; most recently two Lady Wildcats named All-MEAC Second Team, one to the All-MEAC Third Team, another on the All-Tournament Team, and two others on the MEAC All-Rookie Team. Additional she coached two NEC Players of the Year, two NEC Defensive Players of the Year, an NEC Rookie of the Year, four All-NEC First Team selections and three All-NEC Second Team selections. She played with or coached 17 of the program's 25 1,000-point scorers, while also recruiting 2012-14 B-CU Graduate Assistant Mary Dunn (1,191).
As a player, the former Vanessa Blair set the school's game, season and career records in blocked shots. She ranks seventh all-time in scoring (1,488), third in rebounds (849) and rebounds per game (8.9), is second in free throws attempted in a season (588) and holds the records for blocked shots (242). She currently is the only Mountaineer to hold triple digit career marks in five different categories. She was named NEC Player of the Year in 1991 and 1992.
After college, Blair-Lewis played two years of professional basketball in Sweden. Blair-Lewis played on the Pro Basketball Club, a first division team based in the city of Orebro, before a knee injury cut her career short. She returned home to the United States, where she assisted her father at Largo (Md.) High School and coached at the AAU youth level. Blair-Lewis returned to her alma mater as an assistant in 1996.
Blair-Lewis' vast knowledge of the game and determination to develop programs that excel both on the court and in the classroom is seen in awards both athletically and academically for her teams at both institutions. Recently she has had several Lady Wildcats named to the MEAC All-Academic Commissioner's Team each year, and in the 2001-02 season, the Mount women's basketball team was named one of the top-25 schools for academic excellence by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, earning 16th place for Division I schools.
Blair-Lewis' understanding of the game and experience have carried over to the broadcast field. She has served as the color analyst alongside Mike Johnson on radio coverage of the Bethune-Cookman University men's team from 2010-11 to 2012-13, making her one of the few collegiate coaches to hold both duties during the course of the regular season. She will resume her analyst duties again in the 2014-15 season.
Vanessa Blair was married to Eric Lewis during the summer of 2013. The couple welcomed their first child, Blair Eric Lewis, on January 27.

Melissa Etheridge had been here before, but on the outside looking in. In 1979, when the rootsy rocker lived in Boston to study at Berklee College of Music, she used to pass by Symphony Hall like any other undergrad living in a nearby dorm: with a slice of pizza and some doughnuts from the corner 7-Eleven.
When she came back Thursday, for the first of two nights performing with the Boston Pops, she fondly recalled those memories and assured the crowd that the relevance of her return to the hallowed hall was not lost on her.
"You are in the midst of a dream come true," she said.
It was an evening of several firsts, in fact. Etheridge had never played with a major orchestra or even stepped inside Symphony Hall. She headlined the inaugural Berklee Night at the Pops, whose first portion highlighted some of the school's talent, not to mention the Pops' dexterity in a program of vast range and feeling under conductor Keith Lockhart's watchful eye.
Etheridge kept her set short and sweet — six songs, no encore — but they were true to her reputation for being a passionate and invested storyteller. On acoustic guitar, she howled the refrain of "I Want to Come Over" and eased into "You Can Sleep While I Drive" as if relaying a private love letter instead of a song.
The Pops added little flights of fancy, and the interplay between them was particularly pronounced on "Come to My Window." Together they gave the chorus some extra oomph; when Etheridge roared, "I don't care what they think," the Pops echoed her with an instrumental thud of dun-dun-dun.
A technical quibble: Etheridge's voice was so soft, while singing and especially when speaking, that you often wondered if the sound mix was off or if she was keeping some of her vocal pyrotechnics in the reserve. It diminished an otherwise robust performance.
From Berklee, a handful of students who had won a competition represented its various shades, from the swing and sway of jazz singer Sarah McKenzie's "That's It, I Quit!" to Ahmad El Haggar's meditative ballad "Mawal El Kurum" ("The Grapevine Hymn"), sung in Arabic.
Lockhart and the Pops got to flex some muscle, too. Their highly syncopated and percussive interpretation of "Blue Rondo à la Turk," Dave Brubeck's jazz standard, was an elegant flip side to the build and climactic release of "Stairway to Heaven," the classic-rock staple by Led Zeppelin.
Lifting a line from one of his predecessors, Arthur Fiedler, Lockhart noted that if a common thread united the Pops and Berklee, it was their shared mission statement. They're both devoted to just one kind of music: the interesting kind.James Reed can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeJamesReed.

The 2nd Annual Public Policy Challenge is off to a fantastic start this year, after a total of 51 participants and 6 sponsors have signed on to the competition.
The 2nd Annual Public Policy Challenge is moving along at an exciting pace, with five interdisciplinary teams made up of Penn students representing diverse areas of study (four of the finalist teams include Fels students) advancing to the finals on March 20th. The first-round judging event, known as the "Round Robin," took place on Monday, February 21st with the help of 26 local and regional policy experts and civic leaders on hand to listen to our ten original student teams' short project pitches before asking them tough questions and sharing their advice. After the judges filled out scoring sheets for each of the teams, Public Policy Challenge coordinators at Fels crunched the numbers and put documents together for each team outlining how they performed at the Round Robin. The five highest-scoring teams - FairHealth Philadelphia; Impact Gardens; SubWalk Philly; Virtual Market Philly; and WalkPhilly - were notified that they will need to prepare to deliver 10-minute presentations and more detailed packets of materials outlining their projects ahead of the Challenge Finals on the 20th. They will be presenting to a distinguished panel of 7 high-profile local and regional visionaries.
One last workshop - a one-on-one project session taking place on March 14th and facilitated by local lobbying experts and Fels lecturers Eric Weinberg and Robert Nixon - and one dry-run presentation rehearsal stands between these five teams and the $5,000 in cash and charitable donations that exists for one of them at the close of the Public Policy Challenge Finals. Taking place in concert with Fels Fest - a celebration of the contributions made by Fels alumni through the decades - the Challenge will close with a reception at the Fels Mansion from about 4:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. that evening.

"Thick to Omo good hero, Zhuang Qi GAO Guan Ho-yo."
— Both Qu Ming "Song of the South China Sea shrines of ancient Kapok"
Kapok tree species are strongly positive, always above the canopy of trees around the vicinity in order to fight the sun and rain, kapok this enthusiastic spirit and bright as fire in the large flowers, often likened to a strong woman.
That Jiangsu Women , I can not help but think of the hero of kapok, outdone themselves, alone hold up half the sky of their own space. As a recent survey conducted by journalists found in shopping malls, Jiangsu Women to perfect Textile Relying on the industry chain to the Nanjing Women are rapidly emerging as the representative. Fashion design, stable personality style, their market performance soared. Present in all major department stores in Jiangsu, Jiangsu Women brand Sell Rank retaining its position as the forefront.
China Jiangsu Women clothing has gradually become a force.
Climbing the Echinopsis This is of Jiangsu Women
first choice, self-awareness is not strong, keep looking forward to rely on, when nothing can no longer climbing, leaving only one place lazy messy.
From the time of speaking, an early start in Jiangsu Women, 80 years from the last century, emerging from a group on a range of influential women's brands. Women's brands such as Nanjing, Robinson School, Supergrass, Sheng Shijia people, new pine, according to Shafei Er, great treasure, influence fashion, Thai Chi, kale, too rich, Wing Ping, Tao Yumei, Sheng Diao, Haiermansi, Days Villa, St can be Ni, cherry blossom season, and so pose Teng, Wuxi has called the "four big families" of the dream Yan, single-plank bridge, Kay and the Royal family, Suzhou is a large warehouse and other brands.
But despite an early start, and have a good industrial base, but the overall development of the offensive, always a kind of "do not" feeling. Style does not form a significant, did not scream loud.
2002, the newspaper made a through investigation and study, entitled "Nanjing real estate clothing brand" grow up "? "The report, from the inside and outside the two aspects, Women in Nanjing (Nanjing, mostly real estate brand clothing brand) why the slow start as early as the reasons for lack of development. Speaking from the internal, then the Nanjing Women's lack of design, brand awareness is weak, a single business idea. Part of the brand complacent, "also" and remain at the level of small workshops; another part of the brand increased capacity, turning processing; minority insists on being branded by the slow development of a variety of factors, he sacrifice the long corner. Not on the scale, the lack of advantages, not or dare not to make long-term planning, women's brand was a common problem in Nanjing. Reflected in the market, the performance of the Nanjing Women seem many styles, colors, fabrics have a lot of kind, is not the overall style. Management also stuck in "selling clothes" stage, willing to wholesale, or copied version of another type, in the hope of a paragraph or by a single product through a season, a content with too wanted stability and the complex has always been around Women around the brand in Nanjing. From the external terms, relative to the Hangzhou People's Government issued the "Women on the industry to speed up the development of a number of comments" document, published a series of supportive measures and incentives, Nanjing municipal government to private enterprises as the mainstay for the clothing industry , no special support policy.

There is also a lack of design and creative atmosphere, sense of team development is not enough and so on.
Terminal development in Jiangsu Women's market is basically to go shopping wholesale retail and professional market, the two routes, from the mall side, Jiangsu, local shopping home on the property can be said to love and hate clothes.

President Obama has opened a comfortable lead over challenger Mitt Romney following their parties' respective conventions. Going into the conventions, most polls showed the candidates tied 48%-48%. However, a new CNN poll indicates Obama got a major convention bounce, opening a 52%-46% lead.
Essentially the Romney campaign gained little steam following the Republican National Convention, while plenty of undecided voters were swayed by the Democratic National Convention. The president's job approval rating is also way up. At 52%, it hasn't been higher since reaching 53% in May-June 2011, following the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
What's this mean for the Romney campaign? Well, the GOP's presidential hopes are far from over, given that Walter Mondale led Ronald Reagan following the 1984 DNC, only to get throttled in the election. Jimmy Carter also led Reagan following the 1980 DNC. And Michael Dukakis led George H.W. Bush by a whopping 17 points following the DNC, only to lose the election by nearly 8 points.
However, the conventions also used to be held in July. For Romney to overcome a 6-point deficit in a tightly contested race this late in the game, he needs a serious momentum shift.

Sydney Corcoran: TJ Maxx doesn't want you, or your service dog. That's the utterly disheartening message given by an unthinking boob of a manager at a TJ Maxx outlet store in Nashua, New Hampshire. Corcoran, a Boston Marathon bombing survivor who witnessed some of the worst moments of the April 15, 2013 bombing – including her mother's legs being blown off – was kicked out of the TJ Maxx store over the weekend.
Reports USA Today: "Both the teen and her mother, Celeste, were injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The Americans With Disabilities Act allows service dogs to accompany people wherever members of the public are allowed to go."
While the store employee may not be familiar with the ins and outs of the Disability Act, the fact that the 19-year-old's dog was wearing a bright blue vest with the words "Service Dog" written all over it should have been a clue. Sydney says the manager told her to put the dog inside of her shopping cart, or get out of the store.
"He's crucial to my everyday life," Sydney said. Her dog, "Koda," assists her as she works to recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"He had on his service dog vest — bright blue, says 'service dog' all over it," Sydney recounted. "The store manager came over to me and said to me, 'If you want to keep your dog in the store, you have to put him in the carriage.'"
The manager of the store has since apologized, but to Sydney and Celeste, it's not enough. It's inexcusable, they say, for someone to be so grossly misinformed and unaware of an individual with special needs.
"(The manager) said, 'I'm sorry.' And I said, 'That's not good enough. You should have known,'" Celeste said. "You just made someone with an emotional disorder so much worse." Celeste phoned up the store manager after her shaken teen called her and told her what happened.
In a statement released to the media, TJ Maxx said:
We have looked into the particulars regarding this customer's experience and deeply regret that our procedures were not appropriately followed in this instance.
"There are so many people with invisible, silent injuries," Celeste said, adding that the public in general, but "ignorant people" in particular, "need to be aware that service animals are sometimes the individual's lifeline."
Sydney, who was in the news last year when she was named prom queen, is left dealing with yet another emotional setback.

Nazem Kadri's two-year contract that he signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday is further proof that Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin changed the trend in the NHL last season by holding firm in negotiations and eventually signing defenseman P.K. Subban to a two-year contract that has become commonly known as a bridge contract.
Prior to Subban signing his contract worth $5.75 million, young players coming off entry-level contracts like Drew Doughty, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Jeff Skinner and Tyler Seguin received long-term lucrative contracts despite not holding much in the way of leverage over their teams.
At the time there was a growing concern among executives around the NHL that these deals were proof that the second contract, typically the "show-me contract," was being wiped out of the League.
Bergevin changed that thinking last season by using the power of leverage, waiting for Subban to sit out of training camp and the first six games before finally signing a team-friendly, two-year, $5.75 million contract. Kadri, who reportedly wanted a John Tavares-esque contract of six years and around $33 million, avoided sitting out of camp and any regular season games by settling for a two-year, $5.8 million contract.
Like the Subban storyline from last season, Kadri, who had 44 points in 48 games last season, now has two more seasons to prove to the Maple Leafs that he can be a No. 1 or No. 2 center on a game-in, game-out basis before he is able to receive arbitration rights as a 24-year-old restricted free agent, which will likely lead to a bigger payday. He won't be an unrestricted free agent until he's 27.
Subban proved it last season by winning the Norris Trophy. He'll have arbitration rights if he doesn't sign a contract extension this season, but the more likely scenario has him re-signing with the Canadiens for the long-term, lucrative contract that he has now earned.
The Subban situation also could be an example of the risk involved for teams with the "bridge contract" as well. Subban is now almost certain to sign a more expensive long-term pact than he would have before winning the Norris. While the Canadiens saved salary cap room in the short term, it may cost them in the long term.
The question is what effect will the contracts signed by Subban and Kadri have on four remaining notable restricted free agents?
Let's examine the possibilities:
Derek Stepan, New York Rangers
Stepan's situation with the Rangers is different for a number of reasons.
First of all, the Rangers' restricted free agent center has done what Kadri and Cody Hodgson, who signed a six-year contract with the Bufffalo Sabres on Wednesday, haven't. That is prove himself over three full seasons (212 games) in the NHL. He was the team's leading scorer last season with 44 points in 48 games, identical numbers to Kadri. He has also played in 37 playoff games while Hodgson has appeared in 12, all with the Vancouver Canucks, and Kadri has played in seven.
Secondly, Stepan knows the Rangers gave his close friend and teammate, defenseman Ryan McDonagh, a six-year, $28.2 million contract earlier this summer. If McDonagh is one of the Rangers top two defensemen and Stepan is their No. 1 center, shouldn't Stepan get paid a similar wage over a comparable number of seasons?
The problem for Stepan, though, is twofold:
1. McDonagh had arbitration rights this summer because he signed his first contract at 21 years old while Stepan signed his at 20. The arbitration rights gave McDonagh more leverage than Stepan.
2. The Rangers have a precarious salary-cap situation now. They have less than $2.2 million remaining, according to Capgeek.com, which is likely not enough to get Stepan signed and be cap compliant without making a corresponding move, be it via a trade, demotion or injury.
If the Rangers want to go big with Stepan, signing him to a six-year contract would also gobble up two years of his higher earning potential as an unrestricted free agent, which he can technically become at the end of the 2016-17 season. A bridge deal for Stepan would give the Rangers a motivated player and more control over their salary-cap situation, but it would provide Stepan with arbitration rights when the contract is up.
A four-year contract doesn't make a lot of sense for the Rangers because it takes Stepan right up until he becomes an unrestricted free agent, which gives him all the bargaining power.
Cody Franson, Toronto Maple Leafs
Kadri's contract also has a direct effect on Franson because it leaves the Maple Leafs with roughly $2 million of salary-cap space to sign him. There are ways general manager Dave Nonis can creatively find wiggle room, but no matter what he does there still won't be much more than the $2.1 million that is available now for Franson.
Franson, who earned $1.2 million on a one-year contract last season, when he was fourth in the NHL among defensemen with 25 assists, had arbitration rights this summer but chose not to take advantage of them. He would have arbitration rights again if he signs a one-year contract, and a two-year contract would take him to unrestricted free agency.
Alex Pietrangelo, St. Louis Blues
The Blues want Alex Pietrangelo to be in their organization for a long time, but it appears as of now that they're not willing to go in the direction of a long-term, big-money contract. Pietrangelo, though, doesn't appear willing to sign a bridge contract either, which is why they're stuck at a stalemate in negotiations.
Pietrangelo is likely looking at the Doughty contract (eight years, $56 million) as his comparable. At the very least he has a reason to negotiate away from a bridge contract based on his comparable to Subban. He has done more in his career leading up to these negotiations than Subban did in his career before signing his two-year contract.
Pietrangelo has played in three full seasons, 224 total games and has 121 points with a plus-25 rating. Before last season, Subban had played in two full seasons, 160 total games and had 76 points with a plus-2 rating.
But, like Subban last season, the only leverage Pietrangelo has now is to withhold his services. Subban did for six games last season before signing his contract.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said Pietrangelo will be on the team, but nobody is sure how long it will take to make it happen.
The issue facing the Senators and Cowen is that there are two reasonable directions to go in but clearly so far the player and the team haven't agreed on the path.
A bridge contract could work for the Senators considering Cowen has played in only 90 games and still has a lot to prove, but a long-term contract similar to the one Travis Hamonic signed with the New York Islanders earlier this summer also has merit if the Senators believe Cowen can be their No. 2 defensemen behind Erik Karlsson for the better part of the next decade.
Hamonic signed a seven-year, $27 million contract which will take him three seasons beyond when he can become an unrestricted free agent. It provides security for Hamonic and a cap-friendly number for the Islanders, who think Hamonic can be their No. 1 defenseman.
If Cowen signed a similar contract, which he reportedly is interested in, it would take him two years past when he can become unrestricted. Provided the salary-cap charge is reasonable, this type of contract has the Senators getting cost certainty with a player they like and it provides security for Cowen, who would also be surrendering some future leverage.
But again, it goes back to what Bergevin did with Subban.
The Rangers, Blues and Senators have to decide if the risk of signing a young player to a long-term contract is worth the reward they could get in performance at a potential cap-friendly cost.
They've got leverage on their side and clearly they intend to use it the way the Maple Leafs did with Kadri.

Founded by Kevin Nash of KJLH, the radio station is an offspring of his Accelerated Radio School of Broadcasting, an after school program for students in the Los Angeles area. Nash has always had his eyes on developing his own radio station and his broadcast school was the perfect launchpad to accelerate his dreams. In 2013, he decided to broaden the scope of the after school program to provide students a larger audience. Over 15 middle and high schools across Los Angeles have Accelerated Radio School of Broadcasting powering a daily three hour radio show produced and executed by students. The students regular scheduled broadcast is Monday - Friday between 2pm to 5pm PST, while school is in session. DJ Moonbaby came on as host of Unrestricted, the first show for his 24 hour radio programming roster.
Throughout Kevin Nash's 33 years in radio he first started researching online radio in 1997 during Microsoft's big push into the internet radio business. However, with limitations of broadband and dial-up connections the breakaway technology still was not enough. His purpose to give back and pursue his dream never ceased. The self proclaimed tech geek continued his passion by looking through broadcast retail magazines developing a wish list until his dream came into fruition. On August 1, 2013 Accelerated Radio network opened its doors in El Segundo, California. Know as the #1 source for R&B on the net, Accelerated Radio can be heard on iHeart radio, Tune-In, iTunes and on their website acceleratedradio.net.
The digital age is allowing individuals to fulfill their dreams which Kevin Nash is proud to be at the cornerstone, grooming not just high school students but adults with raw talent and dedication. He recalls his first introduction to radio at 11yrs old by a neighbor in Lake Charles, Louisiana with his own gospel show. In his very first week, in young Nash's excitement and awe he built his own radio station in his bedroom closet. As an ordained radio engineer, Nash had his very first radio job at 12 years old mixing every Sunday from 6am to 12noon for the very man that introduced him. He kept the position until 15 years old, where the station changed from Top 40 to Urban Contemporary and gave him his first on-air show on 1580AM KLOU from 12am to 6am during the summer. For Nash it wasn't necessarily about the music, but the jocks who created the magic between songs. He simply loved the voices! This vivid memory is the driving force behind his commitment to provide a thorough framework for his students and disc jockeys. As the voice of BET's Celebration of Gospel and BET Awards, Nash serves the community by sharing his skills and talents with the community and teaches what he calls "Broadcasting Science."
The stations premiere host, DJ Moonbaby is excited of the growth and opportunity of Accelerated Radio and what she calls "digital radio." Going into her 8th year with the GRAMMY's, DJ Moonbaby has always had a great bond with music dedicating her life to catapult careers and inspire listeners through her unrestricted mixes. Being the anchor of the station, she's helped develop the network with not just her moon mixes but also in creating the vision for growth. She has a personal affection in breaking new talent with her monthly indie spotlight, creating a platform for new music that listeners can fall in love with. Her life work in music has allotted a roster of big name talent interviews at the station. Accelerated Radio reaches over 110 countries and averages over 50,000 listeners a day.

She came up to me before everything started and said she was so glad I was there and so excited get this opportunity. I asked her what brought her here and what she was going to talk about. She proceeded to tell my mom and I that she had lost OVER 250 POUNDS in the past 2 years! Oh and guess what else, she did it ALL ON HER OWN, NO PILLS OR SURGERY!! Our jaws dropped, she was so passionate about her experience and her decision to change her life. She did it, and she did in a way that many people don't believe is possible. She said she had to really research how to eat healthy and how to exercise, because she really had no clue. It almost brought me to tears listening to her, and knowing she didn't turn to anything but her faith and her own strength to make the change she wanted to see happen. How refreshing it is to see some one MAKE A DECISION, KEEP THE FAITH, PERSEVERE, and NOT EXPECT someone or something else to do it for them. I think it is something we tend to forget in our society where we think we have a "right" to everything without making any sacrifices or experiencing any discomfort. Jennifer believed and knew that this was up to her, and she wasn't looking to anything but God and herself to get it done.
She is a single woman and understands that most people don't have the time to put in to research like she did, so she has now become a certified health coach! WOW! She began talking about how everyone has a relationship with food, and she was so glad and shocked to hear that even I had struggled with emotional eating. My demo went fine, but Jennifer was truly the star of the show, it was worth the trip just to be able to meet her. I'd like to leave you with a piece of Jennifer's positive affirmation she says to herself each day, I am going to join her in that!
"Today is a great day and I have the opportunity to show up the best me ever! I am an irresistible magnet with the absolute power to attract in my life everything I desire. My life is a huge success!
My beliefs create my reality! I choose robust health, constant happiness, and eternal love. I attract, heal, and positively influence the lives of people in my community. I think BIG thoughts, relish small pleasures and handle all set backs gracefully.
P.S. Don't forget to vote for My Sandwich Here! :)

This week, the Brookings Institution and the think tank Centre for London published the 58-page international version of the report "The Ten Traits of Globally Fluent Metro Areas." This builds on a US-focused version published in June and is part of the five-year Global Cities Initiative between the Brookings Institution and JP Morgan Chase. The initiative launched in March 2012 to help US cities compete globally.
The latest report lists 10 traits that the authors say will enable cities to succeed in global markets, manage the negative impacts of globalization, and build a strong economic future. The new version, edited by Greg Clark and Tim Moonen, includes more case studies from around the world, and it makes interesting reading for cities with global ambitions.
The report defines global fluency as "the level of global understanding, competence, practice, and reach a metropolitan area exhibits in an increasingly interconnected world economy," and it sets out three steps to get there. First, a city must be aware of what is happening in the world. Second, it must become more global by embracing diversity, global trade, and tourism. Third, it must have a culture where businesses, citizens, and government are all helping the city compete and engage internationally.
"Global fluency is not only an imperative for traditional 'global cities,' but is now essential for all places," the report says. We have prepared a slideshow to show the 10 traits that it says globally fluent cities need. Just click the photo below to begin.

While being vegetarian or vegan may be a lifestyle choice for most, food allergies can take quite a toll given the imposed dietary restrictions. For individuals suffering from celiac disease, the use of gluten, a protein composite found in everything from bread to beer, can make it tricky to dine out even in New York. As more awareness is generated about celiac disease and making food without using gluten, restaurants are becoming more conscientious about their customers by offering gluten free options. One restaurant has taken it a step further as a gluten-free restaurant that caters to everyone. Entrepreneur Miki Agrawal has teamed up with restaurateur Walid Hammami (Café Rafaella, Angelina and Atlas Cafés) to open WILD in Williamsburg—the third location of the expanding franchise.
WILD was born out of a stomachache, literally. Ms. Agrawal suffered from recurring stomachaches and found it necessary to give up her favorite food—pizza. "I began researching food and the processed food industry and realized I was intolerant to additives, hormones, and pesticides found in mass food production," she said. Ms. Agrawal set out on a mission to make pizza tolerable again. She spent the next nine years perfecting an organic gluten-free pizza crust that would become WILD's signature.
Motivated by her own struggle with gluten and other ingredients in processed foods, Ms. Agrawal created an eatery that would specialize in organic, gluten-free grub. "Our mission is to give people a positive environment to eat nourishing, yummy food, and offer true peace of mind," she said. WILD integrates the farm-to-table approach working with local purveyors from the tri-state area.
Set against a rustic backdrop, WILD offers up a cozy, locally-sourced farmhouse chic décor with Brooklyn-made reclaimed wood tables and vintage picture frames hanging on the walls. Wild also features a spacious greenhouse, perfect for hosting private events.
Peruse the menu while enjoying a glass of one of several different New York-based wines, including Viognier from Goose Watch Winery (Finger Lakes, $11/$40) and Red Blend NV from Osprey's Dominion's Richmond Creek collection (North Fork, $9/$32). Beer lovers will enjoy the local selection from Brooklyn, as well as Long Island and upstate. For something fruity and refreshing go with the red or white sangria.
WILD offers several Mediterranean starters including the avocado salad ($12)—avocado, corn, tomato, and lemon olive oil—and the bruschetta ($4)—red and yellow tomatoes, basil, mint, and mozzarella cheese.
Dining at WILD requires at least one pizza if not a few ($13 personal/$24 to share). With WILD's gluten-free and vegan crust made from wild yeast and hormone-free cheese and meats, everyone can eat pizza again. The menu features enticing choices including spinach artichoke—baby spinach, artichoke, bacon, and goat cheese—and classic mozzarella featuring gluten-free marinara and fresh basil. Perhaps WILD's most popular pizza is the pear fig gorgonzola featuring pear purée, pear, figs, and fresh rosemary.
If you opt for pizza as an appetizer to share, diners will be pleased with the gluten-free entrées such as the wild chicken parm ($14), featuring gluten-fee breading and pasta (regular pasta is available as well), and homemade tagilatelle ($14) with mushrooms. If you are craving fish, the pan-seared salmon ($16) with a subtle caper sauce. will hit the spot
The gluten-free adventure does not end there. With several desserts sans the gluten—brownies and cheesecake are a must—you will conclude that thanks to WILD, delicious gluten-free food does exist. Now if only there was something we could do about getting rid of the calories.

Ruminations February 2, 2014
2014 and the Fed: The year of economic recovery?
On the bright side, we have a new Federal Reserve Chairman – Janet Yellin. Although it is said that her monetary philosophy is fully in sync with outgoing chairman Ben Bernanke's, that remains to be seen. Certainly, if Yellin wants to make her mark, she will have to create her own policies and it is hard to see how much worse than Bernanke's they could be.
Fighting deflation. According to the Wall Street Journal, Bernanke's "record before the [2008] crisis was a clear failure." His record after the crisis isn't much better. While Federal Governor, the Journal tells us, "he gave a famous speech [in 2002] warning about deflation that didn't exist." Subsequent to the crisis of 2007, he has also warned of deflation that didn't exist. When Bernanke's Fed initiated its quantitative easing program in 2010, which is still functioning, he said "the goal was to avoid deflation." (We should note that Bernanke is a great student of the Great Depression and how the Fed's tight money program contributed to deflation. It almost seems that since he has studied deflation so intensely, he sees it under every bedstead.)
Economic bubbles. When the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, Bernanke with then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan decided to offset that bubble with a new one – the housing bubble. In concert with low-interest rates (negative real interest rates) and the Community Reinvestment Act, the housing market took off only to crash in 2007 – something one would expect a financial expert to foresee. And in the aftermath of the bubble collapse, Bernanke has continued his program of low-interest and the Fed's purchase of mortgages in order to re-inflate the housing bubble. (In the past 12 months, real estate prices in the United States have gone up more than they have since 2006 – it makes you stop and think.)
Quantitative easing. In order to keep interest rates low and increase the available liquidity, Bernanke's Fed embarked on a program of quantitative easing (QE) which critics labeled "printing money." Effectively, the Fed has been (until recently) printing $85 billion dollars a month and has accumulated a balance sheet of $4 trillion in debt. The effect of QE has been to prop up the housing, commodities and stock markets, without stimulating the economy. One wonders why it took over $4 trillion and five years to figure out the ineffectiveness of this program. Furthermore, since we can't stay in this mode forever, we need to figure a way to ease back from QE without damaging the economy. (The Bank of Japan had tried QE earlier and declared it ineffective in 2001 but who needs to listen to them.)
The impact of QE will only become apparent to Americans when interest rates begin to rise on the $4 trillion of Fed holdings.
Cut off of QE. The Fed has recently begun to reduce the amount of QE from $85 billion per month to $65 billion with promises to continue its reduction. While this is still increasing the Fed's balance sheet, it caused a sell-off in markets. Well, this was a market largely created by the Fed; it makes sense that it will turn down as a result of the Fed's actions.
Unemployment. Bernanke said that the Fed would continue with QE until the unemployment rate fell to 6.5 percent while keeping the inflation rate close to the Fed's target of 2 percent. So, evidently, Bernanke believes that his policies can dictate the unemployment rate – in spite of five years of failure. How much can the Fed policy influence unemployment?
It was in 1937, with Great Britain's unemployment rate around 10 percent when economist John Maynard Keynes said "… I believe that we are approaching, or have reached, the point where there is not much advantage in applying a further general stimulus at the centre." That's at 10 percent.
Or course, the Fed has tried before to target inflation and unemployment in the 1970s. They failed then, too. The targets were unemployment of 4 percent and inflation of 3 to 4 percent. What we got was unemployment of 7 percent and inflation of 13 percent. Have we learned anything?
Monetizing the debt. When the Fed prints money and then uses that money to buy treasury bonds from banks, the money supply goes up and, since the Fed hold the Treasury bonds, it has financed the debt by printing money – which can be highly inflationary. Richard Fisk, President of the Federal Reserve of Dallas warned in 2010 that QE is monetizing the debt. "The math of this new exercise is readily transparent: The Federal Reserve will buy $110 billion a month in Treasuries, an amount that, annualized, represents the projected deficit of the federal government for next year. For the next eight months, the nation's central bank will be monetizing the federal debt."
Well, that can't be good.
Lost independence. The Federal Reserve is supposed to be independent of the executive branch (although the chief is nominated by the president). But the link between the administration and the Fed has always been tenuous. William Miller, chairman of the Fed under President Jimmie Carter admitted to carrying out Carter's policies. Arthur Burns was suspected by some of doing the same for Nixon.
Bernanke, while not taking direct orders from the White House, has worked closely with Treasury on taxes and spending, which made his independence somewhat suspect. During the 2012 presidential campaign, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had promised, upon election, to fire Bernanke.
What to expect from Janet Yellin. By all accounts, Yellin is a well-qualified and thoughtful person with the type of leadership qualities that are necessary in her new position as Fed chief. She is also said to be a kindred spirit of Bernanke.
One hopes that she has learned from Bernanke's missteps and has the independence to chart a new course for the Fed.
Quote without comment
Der Spiegel editorial, December 3, 2013: "Central banks around the world are pumping trillions into the economy. The goal is to stimulate growth, but their actions are also driving up prices in the real estate and equities markets. The question is no longer whether there will be a crash, but when."
