Excellent 4.2 /5 from 291 reviews
One night stop over before heading back home to Canada. We chose this hotel because of it's proximity to the George Bush International Airport. Grounds were very nicely kept and staff were friendly at check in time. When we entered our room, 2 out of 4 lamps were burned out, one completely and the other flickered. We decided to order some room service but there was no menu in our room. We called to front desk to inform them of the light bulbs and asked if someone could bring us a menu. They transferred us over to room service and were told there would be a charge to deliver the menu to our room. What???? That's totally unacceptable. We told them to forget it. In the end they did bring us one, we ordered and the food was good. A maintenance person did show up and change the light bulbs as well. I don't think we would go back here only because we got the feeling that our business wasn't that important to them.
We enjoyed our stay very much! It's such a nice hotel , great staff and great pool !
Enjoyed three wonderful days with my kiddos. The pool was our main focus. It truly was a wonderful stay without any worries. There is so much to do in the resort and lots to do nearby as well.
Great people, friendly
Easy check in and check out. Pools were busy but it's Texas in the summertime and there was plenty of room for everyone. The lazy river is longer than it looks originally. We enjoyed our stay. If the price goes down I would go again.

Will Web measurement companies ever churn out audience data that can be easily compared? Don't count on it.
Executives from comScore, the Nielsen Co., HitWise, and Omniture at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's MIXX conference said Monday they will continue to fine tune how they collect, track, and analyze Web site visitor data and pointed out differences in their methodologies.
Some said the newest frontier involves tracking crossover media consumption, that is, measuring the extent that people consume traditional media, such as television and then cross over to the Internet.
"The Internet is part of a broader media spend, but growing," said John Mellor, Omniture's senior vice president, business strategy and corporate strategy. "We're trying to understand IP-connected devices, mobile distribution. Cable TV is increasingly digitally connected. It's as measurable as the Internet is."
How will advertisers know where to spend their money?
"Know how the Internet interplays with other media," said Manish Bhatia, Nielsen Online's president of global services and U.S. sales. Then, decide. For example, if consumers are turning to print, such as magazines and newspapers, in addition to the Internet, then they may want to cut TV spending.
To a large extent, each executive at the panel discussion, "Convergent Validity," touted his respective company's offerings.
Magid Abraham, comScore CEO, pointed out how his company uses audience panels to collect "effectiveness" metrics, not soley audience measurements. Dissing audience data collected from servers, he gave this example: If a person goes to a Web site, then deletes the cookies from that visit, she's counted as a first-time visitor when she returns to the Web site, though she's actually a return visitor.
Bhatia said Nielsen has acquired an assortment of companies that generate many Web measurement data points, thus providing opportunities to dig into the information for trends and other insights.
Bill Tancer, HitWise general manager of global research, said his firm provides online competitive intelligence. "If you do nothing but audience measurement, you're doing yourself a disservice," he said, adding that his firm collects demographic and other information that shows where Web site visitors are online, what category of sites they visit, how they are getting there, and what's driving traffic to competitors.
Omniture's Mellor said his company does not deal with audience panels. Instead, the company measures the visits and customer behavior on every single page of its customers' Web sites, he said.
One challenge, participants said, some metrics are more important to some businesses than to others. "Definition of engagement is different to everyone in this room. Retailers boil it down to ROI (return on investment), to media companies it may be a function of page views, time spent on site, or repeat visitors."
Stay tuned: discussion continues Nov. 29 at an IAB audience measurement summit.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

In reply to Darlene_Y • Dec 5, 2010
I was at the Henry's in Winnipeg checking out a few of the newer SLR cameras (K5,D7000 60D). They actually had a new E5. He was nice enough to take it out of the box and let me take a few samples shots with it....until we realized that they didn't have a SINGLE LENS in stock. Not a one(Sigma included). I'm not sure whats happening to Olympus in Canada, but it's not good - at least the 4/3 aspect.

In South Dallas, the Neighborhood Wants to Buy Out That Shamrock Gas Station's Owner
Photo by Anna Merlan
Schutze broke the story a while back about a group of black people in South Dallas picketing the Diamond Shamrock gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. People in the neighborhood claimed the station's Korean owner had called black customers "broke-ass niggers," imposed a $10 minimum on debit card purchases, called black women "bitches" and even killed a black thief, which the store owner has vehemently denied.
The stream of accusations got South Dallas activists, including Joyce Foreman, Rev. Ronald Wright and Rev. Peter Johnson, fired up. These days they're often protesting in front of the gas station.
And they were just getting started.
The activists have since come up with a name for their coalition: Don't Stop Don't Shop. It's Facebook official and everything. And Wright, spurred on by DSDS, is spearheading an effort to buy the gas station -- an effort he says is close to success.

"I've got a guy ready to write a check tomorrow," Wright tells Unfair Park. There are actually two black suitors looking to buy the place, he says. He won't divulge their names, but he says the positives of the transaction would be two-fold: It gets an accused racist out of South Dallas, and it injects a majority-black area with a likely lucrative, black-owned business.
"Whites have businesses, Mexicans have businesses, Koreans have businesses," Wright says. "In South Dallas! But African-Americans don't own any businesses in their own community."
The Dallas NAACP will meet with the suitors and black leaders tonight to try to hash out a deal. According to Wright, the owner is ready to fold; the only hang-up is the price. (The station owner has rebuffed multiple interview requests from the Observer.)
Wright says he just wants everything over as quickly as possible, as nonviolently as possible. He says he doesn't want to see a repeat of Los Angeles's 1992 Koreatown riots. They just want the keys.

Gucci Mane Changes Official Name Only to Cancel It 30 Minutes Later
Rapper Gucci Mane declared stage name change to his 1.1 million followers on Twitter, but he canceled the plan 30 minutes later. On Monday, February 4, the rapper wrote, "July 2nd I'm officially changing my rap name to Guwop and retiring the great GucciMane. Thanks Fans, for 8 years as Gucci now it's Wop turn."
The announcement of new name received almost 11,000 retweets. In addition, Gucci's Twitter mention was flooded with fans' plea, such as, "We won't hear that 'Gucci' we love so much." Another fan wrote, "Are you serious, Gucci? Don't change your name dude, please," while another begged, "Please don't do that."
Around 30 minutes after the announcement, Gucci took to Twitter to let people know that he canceled the name change plan in addition to promoting new mixtapes. He revealed that he would not change his name because of his fans' response. "I am officially NOT changing my name to Guwop it will officially stay Gucci Mane due to my Fans' response.. Trap House 3 & Juug House July 2," he wrote, before adding, "Ya'll Hell ... Lmfao."
Gucci has a packed schedule. A few days ago, he released "Free Bricks 2 Mixtape" with Young Scooter, and on February 13, he dropped "Trap God 2 Mixtape" to the market. In addition, Gucci will appear in a new movie "Spring Breakers" alongside Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and James Franco. The movie's plot revolves around a group of college girls who do some work for a drug dealer. The movie will be released in the United States on March 22.

The Class A Advanced San Jose Giants, a San Francisco affiliate, announced Friday night their intention to host "Lennay Kekua Night" at their April 12 game this coming season.
The promotion came the same day that the Class A Lake County Captains, a Cleveland Indians affiliate, said it would "honor" cyclist Lance Armstrong at its June 29 game.
Kekua, of course, was the fictitious girlfriend of Notre Dame football player Manti Te'o. Deadspin.com broke the odd story involving Te'o on Wednesday.
According to the release by San Jose, fans with a ticket to the April 12 game can bring their imaginary or real significant other free of charge.
"Despite the fun and wacky nature of this night, the San Jose Giants recognize the serious nature of a person being diagnosed with a deadly disease such as leukemia or lymphoma," the release notes, referencing the false tale of Kekua's death. "As a result, the organization will host an auction on April 12 and make a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society®."

The United States today is facing a crisis of long-term unemployment unlike anything it has seen since the 1930s. Some 40 per cent of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more, which, as United States Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke noted in a recent speech, is far higher than in any other post-World War II recession.
OPINION: This crisis of long-term unemployment is having a profoundly damaging impact on the lives of those bearing the brunt of it. We know this thanks to a series of careful studies of the problem conducted in the depths of the 1930s Great Depression.
The most famous such study was conducted by E Wight Bakke, a graduate student and subsequently a professor of economics at Yale University.
Bakke showed how extended spells of unemployment caused workers' skills to deteriorate and made it difficult for them to acquire new ones. The long-term unemployed also experienced a variety of physical and psychological problems, among them demoralisation, apathy, and a sense of social isolation.
For those unfortunate enough to experience it, long-term unemployment is a tragedy. And, for society as a whole, there is the danger that the productive capacity of a significant portion of the labour force will be impaired.
What is not well-known, however, is that in the 1930s, the United States, to a much greater extent than today, succeeded in mitigating these problems. Rather than resorting to layoffs, firms had their employees work a partial week. The average work week in manufacturing and mining fell from 45 hours in 1929 to 35 hours in 1932. We know this from a 1986 article by my Berkeley colleague James Powell and his co-author, none other than Ben Bernanke.
The 24 per cent unemployment reached at the depths of the Great Depression was no picnic. But that rate would have been even higher, had average weekly hours for workers in manufacturing remained at 45. Cutting hours by 20 per cent allowed millions of workers to stay on the job.
Why was there so much work- sharing in the 1930s? One reason is that government pushed for it. In his memoirs, President Herbert Hoover estimated that as many as two million workers avoided unemployment as a result of his efforts to promote work-sharing.
Second, legislation encouraged it. The industrial codes of the New Deal set ceilings on the work week for specified industries and workers. The Fair Labor Standards Act provided incentives by requiring overtime pay for employees working long hours.
Third, there was no unemployment insurance to discourage it. An individual today, faced with the option of working 20 hours a week or drawing unemployment benefits, might be tempted by the latter. But in the 1930s, before unemployment insurance, 20 hours was better than nothing.
But unemployment insurance could be restructured to encourage work-sharing. Partial benefits could be paid to workers on short hours, rather than limiting payments to those who are fully unemployed.
The programme would at least partly pay for itself, with additional payments to workers on short hours offset by lower unemployment.
In fact, the US already has something along these lines: a programme known as Short-Time Compensation. Workers can collect unemployment benefits pro-rated according to their hours when their employer submits an approved work-sharing plan, while the federal government compensates the states for a portion of the set-up costs. At last count, 24 states have begun adapting their unemployment- insurance systems to take advantage of the measure.
Unfortunately, the financial incentives that the federal government provides are mainly limited to helping the states to advertise and automate their programmes. And those programmes are too modest, especially for senior workers with a reasonable expectation of fulltime work, to make work- sharing an attractive option.
Other countries have gone further. In Germany, the federal government's Kurzarbeit programme makes up a significant fraction of the difference when, owing to short hours, a worker's earnings fall by more than 10 per cent.
The US federal government could emulate this example by compensating the states more generously for their Short-Term Compensation programmes. Its failure to do so not only inflicts avoidable pain and suffering on the unemployed, but also threatens to inflict long-term costs on American society.
