Good 3.0 /5 from 133 reviews
Door locks could use some work
Hotel was okay for the price but didn't get the room cleaned in between days and had to go to front desk for toilet paper and towels because phone didn't work .
Room needs updating. Room had a bad odor and was not very clean. There were things left from previous guests. They charged me for my children because they were over the age of 12 and for my dogs. I don't mind paying extra but it said nothing about extra charges when I booked.
This hotel was nasty! Deadbolt & chain locks were broke. Blood stain on the mattress. Terrible people hanging out in the parking lot. Did not feel safe at all. After being in the hotel for 10 minutes we left.
I've read some of these other reviews stating how horrible their stay was and was a little nervous, but I had a great stay. Anytime we needed front desk service they were quick to help. The only two flaws we had were issues opening the doors and the fact that the shower temperature fluctuates 10 degrees either direction at random times.

A true look "behind the lines" would go into far greater depth about what life is like during the week. We often hear about players who come in early and stay late, but what does that mean? What happens during the film sessions? How do the coaches formulate a game plan? How is the game plan presented to the players? If players are at the complex all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, what is happening? Surely they aren't on the practice field that whole time. Are they in meetings? In the weight room? Working on individual techniques with position coaches? Studying film?
A classic example of a missed opportunity was Feinstein's discussion (p. 182) of the injury to starting center Mike Flynn and how the loss would affect the offensive line because, among other things, "it is the center who makes all the calls for the linemen, which makes him the quarterback of the group". Well, we often hear announcers talk about centers making calls on blocking assignments but none ever explains what that means. Here was a perfect opportunity to take a few sentences to clarify this concept. What are the calls? What do they mean? How do the other linemen hear them in the midst of the quarterback's signals?Read more ›
The devoted NFL fan will not find any startling newsflashes or issues regarding the game, but there are certainly several interesting tidbits and stories throughout the book, such as: the difference between the Raven's owner (Steve Bisciotti) and the Redskin's owner (Daniel Snyder); the Terrell Owens debacle - before the season and the game against the Eagles; the discussions that take place in the draft war room, specifically the GM Ozzie Newsome; the role of religion in the NFL; and many other issues. So this book may be more appealing to the casual fan than the fanatic.
To top it off, Feinstein's writing style is so smooth and so readable, it makes this book worthwhile and I recommend it to any sports fan - even those fans of the Steelers, the Bengals and the Browns!
In any sucessful work of non-fiction, the author needs to distill the essence of real life people into the pages of a book. Feinstein does this by providing endless and monotonous, thumbnail biographies of all the characters that he runs into in his year with the Ravens. "So and so grew up in the Deep South/Inner City/Midwest/So-Cali, his father was a firefighter/Coast Guardsmen/Test Pilot, and from the time he could tie his shoes he wanted to play football." There are literaly endless pages of this drivel. A football team consists of 53 players on the active roster, which is down from 85 or so in pre-season training camps, the coaching, scouting and training staffs combined are 30 to 40 people and it seems like Feinstein has a 2 page mini-biography on each and every one of these people. After awhile you cringe when Feinstein's monlogue shifts to a player he hasn't said much about previously, because you just know he's going to roll into another little biography filled with trivial details about what the player's parents did, how many siblings he had, when he started playing football, what his SAT scores were, what he did in high school, where he went to college, how he got into the NFL, and on and on and on.Read more ›

Objective. To evaluate the feasibility of implementation of the refined window for routine antimicrobial prophylaxis (RAP) of 30-74 minutes before skin incision compared to the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of 0-60 minutes.
Design. Prospective study on timing of routine antimicrobial prophylaxis in 2 different time periods.
Setting. Tertiary referral university hospital with 30,000 surgical procedures per year.
Methods. In all consecutive vascular, visceral, and trauma procedures, the timing was prospectively recorded during a first time period of 2 years (A; baseline) and a second period of 1 year (B; after intervention). An intensive intervention program was initiated after baseline. The primary outcome parameter was timing; the secondary outcome parameter was surgical site infection (SSI) rate in the subgroup of patients undergoing cholecystectomy/colon resection.
Results. During baseline time period A (3,836 procedures), RAP was administered 30–74 minutes before skin incision in 1,750 (41.0%) procedures; during time period B (1,537 procedures), it was administered in 914 (56.0%; P < .001). The subgroup analysis did not reveal a significant difference in SSI rate.
Conclusions. This bundle of interventions resulted in a statistically significant improvement of timing of RAP even at a shortened window compared to the WHO standard.

DrKW snares global head of credit hybrid trading
Tong spent 12 years at the derivatives unit of Gen Re, the reinsurance subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. He first ran the quanto and exotics book in New York, before he became head of New York trading. This meant taking on more responsibilities, including dollar swaps and options trading, and later, credit derivatives. In 2000 he moved to London to become global head of trading.
Tong will report to Matteo Mazzocchi, global head of credit derivatives and securitisation. His remit is to strengthen the hybrid credit derivatives business as clients increasingly look at ways to enhance portfolios in response to low credit spreads and volatility, Mazzocchi said.

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art.

Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

Visits to wineries in Illinois in 2000, helped education, vineyard managers and winemakers giving valuable time and information. We refreshed old memories of chemistry, and planted grapes. Our children, friends and neighbors joined us in picking by hand, and are still with us since 2003. February 2, 2008, we opened. The winery was packed with those feisty individuals who came by the previous summers to see the building going up, only to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the winery to taste the wines and give us an opinion. We listened. Now visitors walk the vineyards to compare the grapes with the wine in their glass. Wine tastings are offered without charge. We are open year-round Friday through Sunday. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available for over 200. Today, we produce 5000 gallons of wine from grapes, and we encourage wine education from both sides of the tasting room table. Come join us!

Honig, Marjorie. "Changes over Time in Subjective Retirement Probabilities." AHEAD/HRS Report No. 96-036. July 1996.
Reliable forecasts of future retirement patterns are of obvious importance in formulating public policy. The predictive value of workers' expectations regarding retirement depends, however, on whether expectations are reliable indicators of future retirement, conditional on the information available at the time that expectations are formed. Using workers' responses in the U.S. Health and Retirement Survey about the chances of working after age 62, this paper provides some tentative answers to two important questions regarding retirement expectations: Does there appear to be a high random component to expectations regarding future retirement and, if not, does the same behavioral model that generates retirement realizations seem to generate retirement expectations as well? Findings on changes in reported expectations between Waves 1 and 2 of the HRS suggest that expectations may well provide useful information about future retirement.

Classes where every 14-year-old boy has seen porn should trigger 'moral panic', warns children's watchdog
- Deputy children's commissioner told Radio 4 access to porn is widespread
- Now researching to see if boys understand what 'giving consent' means
- Tory MP says children seeing sex sites should be seen as public health issue
Research by the children's watchdog found that 100 per cent of 14-year-old boys in one school had watched pornography (file photo)
Pornography is so pervasive that entire classes of young teenage boys have watched it, the deputy children's commissioner has warned.
Sue Berelowitz said access to pornography among children was so easy it should trigger 'moral panic' among parents, teachers and ministers.
She quoted unpublished research into access to pornography among children which found it is much more widespread than previously thought.
It showed that every boy and half the girls in a year nine group of 14-year-olds had accessed pornography in one school in England.
Miss Berelowitz said she had evidence that children as young as 11 had been found actively to be 'seeking out pornography'.
Some boys now felt they had an 'absolute entitlement to have sex with girls, any time, any place, anywhere, with whomsoever they wished'.
The watchdog was so concerned that it had commissioned more research to see if boys actually understood what 'giving consent' to sex actually meant.
On Tuesday, the Daily Mail revealed that 15 children a day are excluded from schools for sexual misconduct.
This paper has been campaigning for tough restrictions on web porn to protect youngsters, following fears it is warping children's views of sex and relationships.
David Cameron has promised new protections whereby all new computers will be automatically fitted with web filters unless parents specifically lift them.
But no timetable has yet been put in place to implement the scheme.
Miss Berelowitz made her comments on BBC Radio 4's Bringing Up Britain, which is examining 'parenting and pornography'.
She said: 'We came across one study where they were looking at the whole cohort of year nine pupils within a large local authority in England.
'The findings were that 100 per cent of 14-year-olds is accessing pornography. And about 50 per cent of the girls.
'The girls did not want to look at the porn – they were being made to by the boys.'
Conservative MP Claire Perry told the Bringing Up Britain programme that parents should tell other parents about the problems of children watching pornography
'We have commissioned research into young people's understanding of consent... It raises very serious questions about whether boys in particular have any understanding of the concept of consent.'
Miss Berelowitz said: 'No one should be panicking, but why should there not be a moral panic?
'Because what we are uncovering is the scale of what this is doing to children and young people's sense of what is reasonable.
'If that does not generate some huge moral anxiety amongst us as a responsible population, government and community then quite frankly I would be very worried.'
Claire Perry, David Cameron's adviser on childhood, told the programme the problem of children accessing sex websites should be treated like a 'public health issue' such as nits by parents.
Parents should contact others, saying 'my child has seen porn, he may have sent it round his classmates, please can we all get together and talk about it', she said.
Miss Perry said: 'One of the worst things is that parents are so shocked and ashamed that they find it difficult to talk to their children, let alone the other parents.'
She said that it was up to parents to take back control of the internet, adding: 'If your children said, "actually mum I want to go and drive the car", or "I would just like to eat crisps and chocolate for every meal", we would feel we had some level of responsibility or some ability to control those decisions.'

Michael Vick calls critics of his reads, timing 'ignorant'
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick lashed out at his critics, calling them 'ignorant' and saying they 'know nothing about football.'
There's never been any shortage of criticism surrounding Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, and his latest comments won't do much to stem the scrutiny.
Asked about critics who say he holds on to the ball too long and takes too long to make reads (that sounds ... familiar) during a recent interview Vick declined to not make a comment, called his critics "ignorant" and said they "know nothing about football."
"I'm really tempted right now to just say no comment to that because like I said a second ago, you don't last 12 years in the NFL not being able to read the defense," Vick told 97.5 the Fanatic via Sheil Kapadia of PhillyMag.com. "Those people who are talking and saying that are just ignorant, and they know nothing about football. Unless they turn on the film and watch my game and see what goes on, then they'll replace those comments with the right comments."
This should go over well. Vick is a transcendent athlete, but the reality is he has frequently held on to the ball longer than he should and tried to use his athleticism to make plays when plays didn't exist.
He had an interesting point, though, when justifying why he had to hold the ball longer (but, um, that kind of disproves his theory that critics are incorrect, right?).
"We had a lot of deeper throws last year, which required more time," Vick said. "It's just a big difference. Not to say there was anything wrong with the West Coast system, I loved it. I spent seven years in it, and it was cool. But I think the change of pace for me at this point in my career is good and the game is a lot easier now."
It's hard to disagree with that notion. I think he'll find more success in Chip Kelly's quick-hitting system than he did previously, at least when it comes to playing consistent football. One thing he said about Kelly's system really stuck out to me, too.
Specifically, he said Chip told him how to "run with the football."
"Chip told me how to run with the football the other day," Vick said. "He taught me how to run with the football and how to carry the football, and I think it's something that you just have to work on."
Vick apparently wasn't joking -- he related an incident where he broke out of the pocket, and after the play showed Kelly how he ran with the ball. Kelly promptly knocked the ball out of his hands and told him to tuck the football in a manner that will secure it. Given Vick's penchant for running with the ball in a way that has only slightly less security than Bryce Brown's carrying style, it's surprising no one's pointed this out before.
The much-maligned Eagles quarterback has a lot to prove this season. He's still not a lock to be the starter, but if he wins the job and the offense is as good as he's expecting it to be, the results might be good enough to shut up his critics. At least for a little while.
