Pamela Jolicoeur '69, former provost and sociology professor at California Lutheran University, died unexpectedly after suffering a stroke. She worked at the Thousand Oaks university for more than 30 years before leaving as provost in 2004 to become the 10th president of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. Jolicoeur was 65. "This is a devastating day for all of us in the Concordia community," said Ron Offutt, chairman of Concordia's Board of Regents. Jolicoeur suffered the stroke at home and was in a hospital in serious condition when she died. "To say that people here are devastated would be an understatement," Karin Grennan, CLU's media relations manager, said in an e-mail. Leanne Neilson, CLU's current provost, agreed. "She made such an impact at Cal Lutheran, we are just in shock," Neilson said. "She will be greatly missed." Jolicoeur was a member of the sociology faculty at CLU until 1993, when she became vice president for academic affairs — a post she held until being named CLU provost in 1996. While at Concordia, Jolicoeur presided over a $100 million capital campaign, including the construction of a campus center. Concordia is a private, four-year liberal arts college in northwestern Minnesota. Established in 1891, it has 2,815 students and 220 faculty members. Jolicoeur was among a group of U.S. college presidents invited by former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice to participate in a summit on international education. Jolicoeur graduated from Santa Clara University and earned a doctorate in sociology from Purdue University. She still owned a home in Thousand Oaks and would often visit the area, her friends said. She is survived by a daughter, Jessica, and husband Mike Doyle, a retired professor from CLU.
Lee, Mollie Rachel '69, Feb. 4, 2012. A bright shining light, Mollie Lee passed from this earth on Feb. 4 in Portland. Mollie was a beautiful, joyful woman with twinkling eyes, dark curly hair, and smiling, rosy-red lips. She had boundless energy and enthusiasm and a love of life. Many friends, far and wide, were attracted to her good wit, graciousness and authenticity. Mollie was an extraordinarily warm, generous and loving friend.
Mollie was born Aug. 08, 1947, to Thomas and Henrietta Ferry in Berkeley, Calif., in 1947. She lived in Palo Alto, attending school in grades 2 through 12. Mollie's mother reports that from the time Mollie was a child, you couldn't help but love her, even if she was naughty. Mollie graduated from Santa Clara University in 1969 and began her teaching career in California. Mollie married and moved to Oregon. Four years later, she earned her master's degree from the University of Oregon. A number of years later, she and her first spouse parted ways. Mollie was a beloved, highly respected master educator. She created an inviting and engaging learning environment in her many roles in education. Mollie taught and soon became a librarian at Englewood Elementary School. She was chosen as the Salem-Keizer library media specialist and then principal of Rosedale Elementary School in Salem. She then brought her outstanding educational leadership to Lake Oswego, where she was principal of Forest Hills Elementary School, 1989-1996, and Lake Grove Elementary School, 1996-2003. Mollie endeared children, staff and parents alike with her big hugs, easy laugh, sparkly spirit and ability to bring people together. As Mollie was wrapping up her 30-year career in education, she fell in love with a great guy with similar values - a sense of family, fun, adventure and commitment. Mollie and Mac Lee married in December of 2005, and Mollie was thrilled to build a family with Mac and her charming stepsons, Sam and Jesse. Mollie and Mac bought a Sprinter van and enjoyed "camping" in beautiful spots throughout the northwest and California. On a Friday afternoon, one could find her riding in Mac's motorcycle sidecar off to a scenic winery. Mollie was always game for good fun, whether hiking in Yosemite, soaking up sunshine in Carmel, tending her gardens, shopping in SAKS or Goodwill, or enjoying dinner with loved ones. Mollie leaves behind half-knit sweaters, canvases and paints waiting for her special touch, boxes of photographs documenting fun and frolic, her lovable goldendoodle, Baxter, and a wide range of adoring friends and family members who will miss her bright light. Mollie was preceded in death by her dad, Thomas Ferry. In addition to her husband, Mac Lee, and stepsons, Sam and Jesse Lee, Mollie is survived by her dear mother, Henrietta (Hank) Ferry; brother, Robbie and his sons, Nick and Skyler; devoted mother-in-law and father-in-law, Pat and Dixon Lee; and so many great friends. What would Mollie like you to do in honor of her? Love those around you, laugh much and cherish life.
Mary Catherine Kornei '69 was a doctor who still made house calls. She cared deeply about her patients, visiting them on weekends and sleeping lightly so that she could be there for them at a moment's notice. Dr. Kornei, a longtime Los Altos resident and South Bay native, died April 30 of complications from lymphoma. She was 65. Dr. Kornei's family, friends and colleagues described her as a positive soul with an affinity for the outdoors, talented and passionate across a range of activities. She hiked regularly spoke French fluently loved her cats enjoyed cooking, sewing, reading, gardening, and according to husband Tom, even hanging clothes outside on the line to dry. She was often seen bicycling in her white lab coat to and from her office near El Camino Hospital. The daughter of Elizabeth and Dr. Vernon Schulein, a medical internist, Dr. Kornei grew up with her brother, John, in Willow Glen. She took ballet and piano lessons, participated in Girl Scouts and enjoyed hikes in the woods with her family. She attended Sacred Heart High School in Menlo Park and completed her undergraduate work in English and French at Santa Clara University in 1969. She lived in Aix-en-Provence, France, for two years after college and kept her French-language skills current. Dr. Kornei joined a Sierra Club bicycle trip along the Feather River in Northern California in 1973. On that trip, she met Tom Kornei, an electrical engineer who owned a small computer hardware company in Cupertino. The couple began dating before she enrolled at Yale Medical School in 1976. They were married at Stanford Memorial Church in July 1977 and moved to Los Altos. Dr. Kornei completed her medical residency at Stanford University in 1980 and began working in the Cupertino Clinic. The Korneis welcomed their first child, Katherine, in 1984. Dr. Kornei opened a private practice on Hospital Drive near El Camino Hospital in 1985. A second child, Mark, joined the family in 1988. Dr. Kornei was often on call. She wanted her patients to receive the best care and always made time for them. Even as a regular attendee sitting in one of the front pews at Los Altos United Methodist Church, she often quietly slipped out to answer a vibrating call from her answering service. Dr. Kornei worked at her private practice until her retirement in 2009. She was passionate in her love for medicine beyond any economic ramifications, Tom said, recounting how his wife called patients in the evening at home to share lab results and provided many services pro bono. She biked to work with side baskets containing medical charts. Dr. Kornei's friends and patients knew her as a caring, positive person with a beautiful smile. She sent thank-you notes for even the smallest kindnesses. Her son, Mark, said dinners at 8 p.m. were commonplace growing up, because that's when mom finished caring for her patients. He remembers as a child hauling around mailing tubs full of files in hospital corridors, trailing his mom as she made rounds. Patient care wasn't a job it was a passion, but so was bread baking, travel and everything else she did in a life that was lived to the fullest. That passion rubbed off on my sister and myself, Mark said. Dr. Kornei's daughter, Katherine, recalled important lessons learned from mom—the thrill of growing vegetables in the garden, the joy of travel and not being afraid of trying new experiences. I loved watching her test her language skills and pick up a guide book to explore a foreign city, she said. I remember wandering around the backroads of Venice with her and going into a glass-blowing shop on the island of Murano to view an artist at work. Longtime friend and colleague Dr. Cesar Molina called Dr. Kornei a very courageous person who took life's challenges head on and approached death the same way. He said he received an email from her about visiting one last time before her journey so she could say goodbye. Dr. Kornei is survived by husband Tom, daughter Katherine, son Mark, mother Elizabeth Schulein, brother John Schulein, nephew Greg Schulein and niece Michelle Parsons.

James Mark Thirlwell MBA '69 was born in 1940 in Louisville, KY, but spent most of his life in Florida. He was the son of a Baptist preacher, and lived in various places; such as, St. Augustine, Brooksville and Jacksonville. His last 38 years were in Merritt Island. Mark graduated from high school in Jacksonville and received his Bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Florida, where he developed his passion for the Gators. He spent four years in the Navy as an officer, flight navigator and in tactical Seal training. He received his MBA from the University of Santa Clara in California before returning to Jacksonville. In 1972, while on Naval Reserve duty in Virginia, he met Catherine Jean DuVal, and they married on March 3, 1973. Mark and Cathy moved to Merritt Island in September 1974. They were longtime members of Georgianna United Methodist Church and returned to Merritt Island Presbyterian Church in 2008. They both worked at Patrick Air Force Base where Mark worked with a few contractors before spending the last several years with the Federal government as a financial analyst. He retired in 2002. The light of Mark's life was the birth of two children: Diana, who lives in Tallahassee with her husband, John Lane, and two beautiful children: Wyatt (4) and Stella (10 mos.); and David, who lives in Coconut Creek with his wife, Staci, and son, James (1 +). Mark was a kind-hearted, intelligent, honest and hard-working person who approached life with tremendous enthusiasm and integrity. He loved nature, travelling, politics, watching sunsets in his yard on the Indian River, and Banjo, his dog. One of his favorite things was reminiscing with his buddies telling and retelling stories of their many adventures: working at Yellowstone National Park as a short-order cook, testing scuba gear in a baptismal pool... He and Cathy, usually along with the kids, shared wonderful trips to England, France, Italy, Germany, Costa Rica, Hawaii and Seychelles. Mark was an excellent carpenter. He enjoyed building furniture for his family and neighbors, and built their house on Two Oaks Boulevard with little outside help. He often dreamed up inventions and, in fact, made an effort to get a patent on a solar-powered energy condenser. He created, packaged and distributed a dry rub for meat, called 12 Gauge, before the mainstream versions became available on supermarket shelves. Vibrant and extremely healthy, this rapid illness has shocked us all! Less than a month after the onset of what would be the final stages of this illness, and only days following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, Mark made the choice to return to his beloved home. Here, surrounded by the love of his family; his dog, Banjo; the prayers of his many friends and loved ones; and the beautiful river views, Mark drifted peacefully to heaven early in the morning of January 15th. He was undoubtedly welcomed with open arms by our heavenly Father, who surely has some greater purpose in mind. Perhaps He's put him to work-- he'd love nothing more! Mark was an exceptional man. His legacy will live on in his family, friends and all those whose lives he touched, and whose lives his works continue to touch. He will be greatly missed. "What is morality, she asked. Judgement to distinguish right and wrong, vision to see the truth, and courage to act upon it, dedication to that which is good, integrity to stand by the good at any price." -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Dozens of Baltimore families will have new members at the table for Thanksgiving Day. This weekend, courts around the country celebrated National Adoption Day.
Gigi Barnett explains there are still thousands of children looking for homes.
Rashaun and Konu Bradley-Bell always wanted to be parents.
After 19 years, a Baltimore City judge added Shawn and Aliya to their family this weekend–just in time for the holiday.
The Bradley-Bells joined dozens of other families this week who received the present of parenthood on National Adoption Day. Every year the celebration falls on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
"What is so amazing to me is not only are the children happy and thankful, these families are thankful. They were celebrating downstairs that they were going to go home with new family members," said Erika Slater, Baltimore City Adoption Day chair.
It's the eighth year of Adoption Day in Baltimore City and over the years more than 3,000 children have been adopted.
Slater says for some families it's not an easy task.
"It's not an easy process. It is a long process and sometimes it can be heartbreaking if it doesn't work out for them because they become immediately attached to these children," Slater said.
For the Bradley-Bells — who already adopted 2-year-old Israel a few months ago — it worked.
And Thanksgiving will never be the same.
"We are very thankful. Very thankful. Just full of our family traditions coming together and some new traditions," said RaShaun Bradley-Bell, new parent.
Organizers say National Adoption Day is also designed to bring attention to the 100,000 children around the country who are still looking for families.
Baltimore has more than 3,000 children in the foster care system. Many of them are teens.

the morning view over the lake - priceless
The confort of the bedroom and the swimmingpool. The reception staff were very helpful.
We had no problems.
Food of a very high standard. Bed very clean and so comfortable. Staff very polite and helpful. What more could one ask for?
We thought the meals were a bit rushed, more time between would have been nice, one plate removed before the other had finished, food was excellent.
no real complaints, would have liked the sauna to be working.
Being so close to Windermere village we could eat out at night and not worry about driving.
The building opposite belonged to BT and was an eyesore.
The atmosphere was peacefully and very relaxing. A place to unwind.
it was close to the shops and warm and dry
rooms were not as big or nice as looked on website.
Lovely place to stay - staff were very kind and helpful and the room was very nicely decorated.
checking out of the hotel was the best part as the hotel staff were rude and the room wasnt cleaned properly and very uncomfortable
the hotel staff were rude, the room cleanliness was poor.
ease of booking
there was damp on the walls of our room

Euro firms cool on Vista and Linux
European businesses are only considering migrating to Linux when they decide to deploy new applications, but most currently have no intention of moving to Windows Vista either, according to a survey released this week.
The State of Enterprise Infrastructure in Europe 2006, published by Forrester Research, found little enthusiasm for simply moving an existing IT system over to a Linux platform. It also suggests that virtualisation is starting to take off despite a lack of awareness among smaller companies.
"Moving existing applications from either Unix or Windows to Linux is unimportant to more than two-thirds of the respondents, confirming that interest in Linux is more often linked to deployment of new applications [as planned by 12 percent of respondants]," the report reveals, while noting that 54 percent of firms had "no plans at this stage" to move to Windows Vista, Microsoft's upcoming operating system (OS).

Selling luxury travel takes knowledge, commitment, partnership and often a change of mindset, but agents will find that it's well worth the effort.
Agents and suppliers established in the luxury market shared their tips and insights with Travel Market Report during the recent Signature Sales Meeting and Trade Show in Las Vegas.
It's about the experience
It's important to understand that luxury travel these days is more than just top-tier hotels and cruise lines – it's all about the experience, said Marni Granston, director of sales for the tour company Ker & Downey.
"We're seeing a big focus on the experience," she said. "I (the client) still want to know that the backbone of my trip is luxurious properties, but what am I going to do during the day that will leave an impression?
"That cultural immersion is so important. You're back home and telling your friends at a dinner party about the experience you had with a Khmer family making spring rolls. That's what will really be remembered."
Thinking in terms of a bucket list is a good strategy, according to Granston. She advised agents to ask their clients about what they really want to see and do during their lifetimes.
Gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda, the Congo, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos are among places and experiences high on many bucket lists this year, she said.
Know the destination
Agents hoping to sell luxury travel need plenty of first-hand destination knowledge, said Steve Orens, president Plaza Travel in Encino, Calif.
"Be more proactive in sending agents out (on luxury fams) so they can sell from their experience of being there rather than from their own taste or their own pocketbook," he said. "It's really important for agencies to send counselors who will be of mutual benefit to the staff and the vendors."
Partner with luxury suppliers
Agents should also tap the knowledge of upscale travel suppliers who can help them close the deal.
Several tour operators told Travel Market Report they are willing to be on the phone with agents when they're making a sale to answer any questions the client might have. Consider the tour operators who sell luxury travel as your partners in the market, they emphasized.
Overcome price perception
One of the challenges to overcome in selling luxury travel is price intimidation – on the part of agents and as well as clients, noted Granston.
"A lot of agents are intimated by the price, she said. "They need to really understand all the inclusions that are in that price, so they can communicate them to the client.
"The average trip to Africa is upwards of $1,000 per person per day, but then it's a lifetime experience, and why it's a lifetime experience needs to be explained."
Keep up with changes
Another challenge is keeping up with the constant change in expectations among luxury clients, according to Orens.
"The bar's continuously rising," he said. "We are providing more for them, even at a five-star hotel. We're providing more bells and whistles. We're giving them USBs with documents and destination info, for example."
Agents are also seeing a change in travel patterns, some of which can be instigated by the agents themselves.
"We're seeing people combining a luxury cruise vacation with a land-based luxury vacation, whereas before it was either or," said Cathie Lentz Fryer, president of CTA Travel in Cerritos, Calif. "On the custom luxury side, we're finding it's more the private car and driver in every country we take clients to."
Move clients up
Fryer has been able to move a lot of her premium clients up to luxury, convincing them that it's a better deal. And in many cases it is. "We can offer them a better experience on a luxury cruise line than with a suite on a premium cruise line where they'd have to buy everything," she said.
"We had a client who had to have the premium line, and he bought five suites. I asked him to bring back all of the receipts for his onboard spend, and I showed him that if he had been on Crystal he would have saved money, based on his spend."
So when a client comes in and wants a premium cruise product with a suite, Fryer offers them a luxury cruise, explaining that more is included in the fare.
"Always offer the client what might be a little bit of a reach. When they want a suite, that's the key," she said.
Maximize referrals with events
Fryer is trying to find ways to maximize her referral business – which is huge – and make it grow. She and her staff usually meet their luxury clients at a restaurant or a home.
A new strategy has been to ask clients to invite friends to a wine and cheese evening held when the agency presents them with their travel documents. Fryer flew team members to Canada to put on one of these evenings, which drew 10 or 15 couples and resulted in four new clients. She plans to host more such events next year.
The event tactic is one that any savvy agent can initiate, but it has to be backed up by plenty of firsthand knowledge, Fryer added.
"You can't sell luxury unless you've lived it, breathed it, traveled it," she said.
Selling luxury travel takes knowledge, commitment, partnership and often a change of mindset, but agents will find that it's well worth the effort.
Nowhere is our travel advocacy more important. We must lead through our words and our actions, reminding our clients that their travel is not simply for their own pleasure but contributes to the greater good of so many others and collectively us all.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

The depths of one persons soul is infinite and boundless. And that is just one small fractal in this massive eternal picture. Imagine changing one persons soul, and how it will reflect throughout the entirety of future self. Imagine over 7 billion boundless souls changing, at the same moment, into the same direction, the same massive revelations. Imagine how that would radiate across all 7 billions souls future paths and all directions, in all times, in all places. Not to mention our friendlies, and our antagonists.
There is so much more than merely this material existence. Material existence is literally a mere shadow to what reality is. It will be beautiful when it all aligns, and converges.

Mayim Bialik's Left Thumb Severely Injured in Car Crash
Mayim Bialik's left hand won't fully function for a while. The Amy Farrah Fowler of "The Big Bang Theory" injured her hand when her white Volvo was hit by another car occupied by three tourists from Chile on midday Wednesday, August 15. She was driving at the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and La Brea.
Rumor suggested she suffered "a severe injury to her left thumb," but she assured that she wouldn't lose her fingers. She gave update on her condition by dictating a tweet to her husband, Michael Stone, "In pain but will keep all my fingers. If u wanna See pre accident me watch The Soup tonight lol #joelmchale @thesoup."
According to New York Daily News, Bialik was on her way to celebrate her youngest son's birthday in a family lunch after finishing a table reading for "Big Bang Theory". She was taken to Cedar Sinai Hospital to treat her injuries. LAPD Sgt. Monte Houze told PEOPLE, "From what I was told, there was a lot of blood at the scene."
A picture taken by TMZ from the scene showed that the front bumper of the Volvo Bialik drove was badly damaged. The condition of the other car was unknown, but the tourists reportedly were neither cited nor detained.

How search-engine friendly are the Top 100 U.S. newspapers on the web? Not enough. Almost a third are are fully gated, with 26 requiring sign-ups to access all content freely and three requiring paid subscriptions (see recent Bivings study). Unfortunately, these gates typically prevent search engines from finding news too.
Of course, some papers like the NYTimes.com have organic search under control. VP Marshall Simmonds has enabled crawling of gated content, so Google and Yahoo make their pages available. When visitors arrive at paid pages like archives, they see abstracts first. Last week, there were rumors about dismantling the paid TimesSelect service. If that happens, the well-regarded columnists would have no trouble attracting more traffic and interest.
However, I'm betting that most of the remaining newspapers with sign-ups aren't up to snuff. Are they enabling search engines to crawl their content and pages? Are they creating appropriate site maps and topic indices? Not that I can easily see. Even if visitors have to log in, these newsworthy resources should be indexed and searched today.
Still I have to ask: why are so many papers requiring sign-ups anyway? That commonplace "we need to profile our visitors for advertisers" answer seems a little lame these days. Instead look at some free metrics, check out specific interests from click streams, and see what new search queries emerge. These sources seem better than self-reported, incomplete data from visitors who just want access, now.
Meanwhile, the largest online newspapers accelerate their efforts to open gates. Publishers with paid access are about to risk current revenue because they project more traffic and revenue downstream. Analyst Henry Blodget thinks it's a winner for NYTimes.com and WSJ.com to run free, if the AOL transition tells them anything. Meanwhile, Pearson continues to mull all FT.com options, in their competitive ad battle with the Journal.
Sure, these largest papers have the advantages of size, resources and online authority. They don't present an apples-to-apples comparison with the local papers. Still their recent willingness to consider risks should send a strong message to their counterparts. While the Top 100 papers have distinct challenges, they are able to attract local and thus highly valuable visitors. It's worth a little time and effort to think about search optimization.
Are any webmasters or developers reading this posting? Start by opening access to the search engines, please. Let the robots in, but make sure there's a "noarchive" metatag if you have gates. Try some site mapping, to expose more hierarchy and content to the crawlers. Check out the forums, and ask specific questions there.
The Top 100 papers are investing in so many areas, including content, video and even user-generated elements. It's the least they can do, to return to a few SEO basics: attract more visitors and spur online growth.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Some executions in the U.S. have been put on hold because of a shortage of one of the drugs used in lethal injections from coast to coast.
Several of the 35 states that rely on lethal injection are either scrambling to find sodium thiopental — an anesthetic that renders the condemned inmate unconscious — or considering using another drug. But both routes are strewn with legal or ethical roadblocks.
The shortage delayed an Oklahoma execution last month and led Kentucky's governor to postpone the signing of death warrants for two inmates. Arizona is trying to get its hands on the drug in time for its next execution, in late October. California, with an inmate set to die on Wednesday, said the shortage will force it to stop executions after Sept. 30.
The sole U.S. manufacturer, Hospira Inc. of Lake Forest, Ill., has blamed the shortage on unspecified problems with its raw-material suppliers and said new batches of sodium thiopental will not be available until January at the earliest.
Nine states have a total of 17 executions scheduled between now and the end of January, including Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
"We are working to get it back onto the market for our customers as soon as possible," Hospira spokesman Dan Rosenberg said.
But at least one death penalty expert was skeptical of Hospira's explanation, noting that the company has made it clear it objects to using its drugs for executions. Hospira also makes the two other chemicals used in lethal injections.
Sodium thiopental is a barbiturate, used primarily to anesthetize surgical patients and induce medical comas. It is also used to help terminally ill people commit suicide and sometimes to euthanize animals.
Thirty-three of the states that have lethal injection employ the three-drug combination that was created in the 1970s: First, sodium thiopental is given by syringe to put the inmate to sleep. Then two other drugs are administered: pancuronium bromide, which paralyzes muscles, and potassium chloride, which stops the heart.
Ohio and Washington state use just one drug to carry out executions: a single, extra-large dose of sodium thiopental.
Hospira has blamed the shortage on "raw-material supplier issues" since last spring, first promising availability in July, then October, then early 2011. The company has refused to elaborate on the problem. But according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press from the Kentucky governor's office, Hospira told state officials that it lost its sole supplier of the drug's active ingredient and was trying to find a new one.
As for the possibility of obtaining the drug elsewhere, the Food and Drug Administration said there are no FDA-approved manufacturers of sodium thiopental overseas.
Switching to another anesthetic would be difficult for some states. Some, like California, Missouri and Kentucky, adopted their execution procedures after lengthy court proceedings, and changing drugs could take time and invite lawsuits.
Obtaining sodium thiopental from hospitals does not appear to be an option, either. Sodium thiopental has been largely supplanted by other anesthetics in the U.S., and hospitals do not stock much of it.
Also, drug purchasing and use rules — and ethical guidelines that bar the medical profession from getting involved in executions — could prevent hospitals from supplying prisons with the drug, according to industry experts.
"Many of these cases, the victims have waited for 20 years, some of them longer than that. If we're out of that drug, we need to have an alternative," said Tennessee state Sen. Jim Tracy. Tennessee said it has enough of the drug for a November execution and expects to be able to carry out another in December.

IHG Announces Two New Holiday Inn Resort Locations
Thursday September 19th, 2013 - 10:27AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
ATLANTA—InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is planning two new properties, one located in Nashville, and the other in Deadwood, S.D., adding to the growing global Holiday Inn Resort brand portfolio, currently at 36 properties worldwide.
"We are thrilled that the Holiday Inn Resort brand continues to expand in key leisure destinations," stated Joel Eisemann, chief development officer, the Americas, IHG. "These new Holiday Inn Resort properties further strengthen the reach and presence of the Holiday Inn Brand Family."
Currently, the Fontanel Mansion is a 27,000-sq.-ft. log home previously owned by Country Music Hall of Fame member Barbara Mandrell. This will be the future site of the 140-room hotel set to open as Fontanel, a Holiday Inn Resort by mid-2015. Located at 4225 Whites Creek Pike, the property is currently Nashville's only country music mansion tour. Guest amenities will include events and activities at the Woods Amphitheater, the Pepsi Studio Gallery, American-Italian cuisine and wine bar at Café Fontanella, on-site zip lines and nearby golf course access. Additionally, the hotel is equipped with total meeting space of over 20,000 sq. ft. as well as a pool, spa and hiking and biking trails.
Located at 1906 Deadwood Mountain Drive, The Deadwood Mountain Grand, will become a Holiday Inn Resort in October. Formerly a historical mining building, the 245,000-plus-sq.-ft. property includes six floors comprising 98 guestrooms, including five suites. The town of Deadwood is a Registered National Historic Landmark with the Mount Rushmore National Monument within a 45-minute drive and the Devil's Tower National Monument an hour away. The hotel also has a fitness center, a business center, and meeting facilities, as well as an indoor pool, spa, casino and event center and an activities center.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.
