The biggest dilemma guests face at the Resort at Pelican Hill is making sure they don't get diverted from golf. With 36 holes designed by Tom Fazio, there's enough there along the Pacific Ocean 45 miles south of downtown Los Angeles to hold the interest of the most discerning golf traveler.
December 1, 2009
THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS in south-central Virginia provide a dramatic backdrop for an unusually expansive and luxurious new golf resort.
October 1, 2009
IT'S TOO COLD UP HERE to be a hotbed of golf. But Northland Country Club, on the western shore of Lake Superior, 150 miles above Minneapolis-St. Paul, is a gateway to the fabulous recreation area of the state's Boundary Waters region. Outdoor sports abound-not just hunting, fishing and boating, but also golf, at least during the five-month respite from winter.
September 1, 2009
Of the nearly 300 design projects undertaken by Arnold Palmer and his longtime associate, Ed Seay, Old Tabby Links stands out as the most compelling. Opened in 1994 in Spring Island, S.C., it ranks No. 96 on Golfweek's list of the best modern courses.
June 1, 2009
Well into his 80s, Pete Dye keeps on surprising us. The railroad ties and island greens are long behind him, but even as the former insurance salesman finds himself among the latest inductees into the World Golf Hall of Fame, his renewed creativity continues to remind us what a refreshing art form golf course architecture can be.
April 1, 2009
As you head south from downtown Denver, the number of office complexes, shopping malls and other real estate developments gradually declines. You begin to see raw land and get a glimpse of what the region used to look like. And then, on the far side of suburban Parker, you come to pasture land, barrancas, scrub oaks and ponderosa pines.
February 1, 2009
The Hawaiian island of Kauai has a well-earned reputation for rugged beauty and relative isolation from the mainstream tourist trade. Golf fans came to know it from 1994 through 2006, when the PGA Grand Slam of Golf was held each fall on the windswept fairways of Poipu Bay Golf Course, along the island's south shore.
December 1, 2008
Gozzer Ranch's setting is impressive enough-looking out onto the 60-square-mile Lake Coeur d'Alene in northern Idaho. More stunning is how the property's developers, Discovery Land Co., have kept the whole place rustic and in low profile. The 700-acre land plan includes a Tom Fazio-designed golf course that snuggles easily into the native contours.

LOS ANGELES -- It was nearly a perfect homecoming for Stanford senior Andy Brown.
The 6-foot-7 forward, who his played high school ball 30 miles south of Los Angeles, had just tied the game with 26 seconds left in regulation and had the opportunity to put the Cardinal ahead with a free throw.
But Brown missed the foul shot and Stanford lost 71-69 when USC's Jio Fontan knocked down two free throws with six seconds remaining in the Pac-12 opener Thursday night at the Galen Center.
"(USC) kept fighting and they were able to stay in there, and they made the plays at the end," Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. "It's conference play. We knew it was going to be a great game, and I thought (USC) made some crucial plays and we didn't make the plays we needed to make."
Stanford guard Chasson Randle had an opportunity to send the game into overtime, but his runner proved to be too strong, and forward Dwight Powell's tip-in attempt did not fall as the Cardinal road struggles continue. Stanford (9-5) falls to 9-28 on the road in conference play dating back to the 2008-09 campaign.
"We didn't match (USC's) intensity in the second half," said Brown, who tied a career high with 17 points. "Especially with them being at home, we knew they were going to have momentum, but unfortunately we lost it at the end."
Brown scored 13 of his 17 in the first half, coming off the bench and providing a spark for the Cardinal.
Leading 11-10 with 13 minutes remaining in the first half, Brown scored seven consecutive points as Stanford grabbed a 21-14 advantage with eight minutes to play until halftime.
USC (6-8) cut the lead to 30-29, but a 12-4 Cardinal run to conclude the half gave the visitors a 42-33 advantage at the break. Stanford maintained an eight-point lead five minutes into the second half, but an 8-0 USC run tied the game at 51 with 11 minutes left to play.
Aaron Fuller's floater in the lane with 8:45 remaining put the Trojans ahead 53-51 for their first lead of the game.
The Cardinal, which failed to score for over a six-minute stretch in the second half, shot just 26 percent from the field in the second half.
"When we look back, I think you'll see we had some layups and some free throws that during that period of time, that if those go down, it gives us a little momentum," Dawkins said. "In game like this, every one of those baskets counts."

Denari's Den: Guest Austin Croshere
by Chris Denari
November 13, 2012
It's another week inside Denari's Den and another of the Pacers' broadcasters joins me. Austin Croshere is in his third season on Pacers' radio and television after a 12-year NBA career, including nine seasons with the Pacers. Austin had a great work ethic as a player, and that has carried over to his broadcasting career as he has become a quick study and a talented analyst on both radio and television.
Denari's Den with Austin Croshere
When Austin goes after something, it is full bore. I have seen that with how he has embraced the game of golf. Austin just doesn't want to play golf, he wants to be very good at golf. It is a characteristic that makes Austin who he is.
Austin played with Danny Granger for one season, and offers his thoughts on the Pacers missing their leading scorer for approximately three months. Austin also talks about his transition to broadcasting, and shares his thoughts on why the San Antonio Spurs are one of the most successful franchises in NBA history. Thanks for visiting Denari's Den.

2.9-3 Inoperability of Firearm -- § 53a-16a
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified May 10, 2012)
The defendant has raised the affirmative defense that the <insert type of firearm> was not a weapon from which a shot could be discharged. In other words, the <insert type of firearm> was inoperable.1
Affirmative Defense, Instruction 2.9-1.>
1 On the use of the term "inoperable," see State v. Darryl W., 303 Conn. 353, 357 n.5.
Section 53a-16a applies to the following offenses:
§ 53a-55a, Manslaughter in the first degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-56a, Manslaughter in the second degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-60a, Assault in the second degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-92a, Kidnapping in the first degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-94a, Kidnapping in the second degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-102a, Burglary in the second degree with a firearm.
§ 53a-103a, Burglary in the third degree with a firearm.
All of these offenses include the following provision: "uses, or is armed with and threatens the use of or displays or represents by his words or conduct that he possesses a pistol, revolver, shotgun, machine gun, rifle or other firearm."
A similar affirmative defense is found in § 53a-134 (a) (4), robbery in the first degree. In contrast to the above offenses, it is applicable only to the subdivision that includes "displays or threatens the use of what he represents by his words or conduct to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, machine gun or other firearm." State v. Hawthorne, 175 Conn. 569, 573 (1978) (operability is not an element of this subdivision of robbery; inoperability is an affirmative defense that may be raised).

FRENCH CAMP – The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office on Tuesday identified Gisela Norma Tarkington, 76, of Vacaville as the motorist who was killed in a solo crash Sunday afternoon on Highway 12 west of Interstate 5.
Tarkington was driving a 2003 Nissan sedan eastbound on the two-lane, undivided highway west of Guard Road at 2:14 p.m. Sunday when, for unknown reasons, her car drifted to the left, went off the roadway and overturned into a ditch filled with about a foot of water, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The Nissan was damaged to the point where firefighters required a cutting tool to open the car and free Tarkington, who was transported to Lodi Memorial Hospital where she died.
About 70 people have died since 2000 on the stretch of Highway 12 between Lodi and Fairfield.

Recurrent field selection is a good indication that field selection may be better suited than standard screening procedures that have been in use for over 30 years with little or no progress. Columbia Basin College (CBC) will plant experimental varieties selected from infested fields for stem nematode to evaluate progress for resistance. Additional selections will be made from the field for seed increase and testing. Germplasm will be released based on test results. At the same time a greenhouse screening procedure will be developed that will allow more time for infection of all plants. More precision is necessary for progress toward higher levels of resistance. Documents SCA with Columbia Basin College.
This study is in progress and contributes to objective 1 of the parent project.
The project was monitored by phone and email contact with the cooperators.

The most visited cultural event of the country will light up for the fourth time both popular and mysterious places in Prague.
Prague is beautifully situated on the Vltava River and is the main cultural and historical attraction of the Czech Republic. With its large number of cathedrals and churches, Prague was once known as the city of a hundred towers. A full range of artistic styles, from baroque to cubism, are also to be found in the buildings of Prague. It is usually very busy in the Old Town. Tourists wander through the medieval alleyways. Most of the sights are close together and can therefore be easily visited on foot.
The main tourist attraction of Prague is the Charles Bridge, which is the most beautiful and longest medieval bridge in Europe. Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and the Royal Palace are also worth a visit. The New Town has a completely different character, with wide streets and large squares. One of the most beautiful views of the city can be obtained from Petrin Hill, with its sixty-metre-high tower.

ANTIOCH -- Hoping to create a vibrant neighborhood that could serve as a catalyst to revive downtown, city leaders have given the thumbs-up to developers to make their pitch for building townhouses on three city blocks.
Antioch owns roughly 3 acres of land on the east side of the historic Rivertown area, bordered by West Second and Third streets and between F Street and where A Street curves and turns into Second.
The city's control of the site and the upturn in the housing market make it an opportune time to move "full-speed ahead," City Manager Steve Duran said. Adding homes will provide an evening and weekend population downtown, thus making it more attractive to shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, he said.
"What we need to do is kind of like a mall, where you have an anchor on one end and an anchor on the other. And we can do the east end first because we control the real estate," Duran said.
The council agreed to solicit development proposals, requesting that community input be sought during the process.
"We need to grow this downtown area, and I believe it takes rooftops," Mayor Wade Harper said. "But we need to maintain the character of this community. Nothing is set in stone today,"
If it pencils out, plans could also call for the demolition of the Nick Rodriguez Community Center and Antioch Senior Center, with the caveat that a new 10,000-square-foot senior center would be built downtown or across town.
About a dozen residents from the Rivertown Preservation Society spoke against development on a vacant lot east of E Street, suggesting that area be considered as a city park for farmers markets, concerts or a veterans memorial to protect its scenic views of the Delta.
"It sits at the heart of every event that has ever occurred in Rivertown. This parcel deserves to be a shared property of all the residents, not just a lucky few," said resident Kerry Motts.
Resident Chris Valenta said development of the lot would be "like selling your soul to the devil."
"There's one property in Antioch you should not be doing this to," he said.
That piece of land has long been zoned for residential development and has received community scrutiny in the past, Duran said.
"We can do all the outreach in the world, but it's not going to get downtown revitalized," Duran said.
He added that the former Hickmott Cannery property east of A Street, despite soil-contamination issues, could be better suited for a park because it's larger and more open to the water. A representative for the owner of that land recently approached the city.
Antioch is in the midst of putting a $427,000 state grant toward preparing a long-term plan for the area, with a goal of making it a transit-oriented community. Officials are also looking at past downtown plans in the process, including a study created by international development company Arcadis in 2006.
As for Tuesday's proposal request, developers must submit bids by Aug. 14.

ALAMEDA -- Fatigue is a factor over the course of an NFL season, although it's tough to get a coach to admit it.
The Raiders' Dennis Allen has referred to his defense as "worn down" after each of the last two games, most recently after a 37-27 loss to the New York Jets.
With the 10-3 Kansas City Chiefs coming to O.co Coliseum on Sunday, Allen has altered the practice schedule in hopes of the defense getting its legs back.
"We've changed things up a little bit," Allen said after practice Thursday. "Hopefully that gives them a little bit of a boost."
The Raiders (4-9) have won just one of their last five games but have collapsed defensively in the second half of consecutive losses to Tennessee, Dallas and the Jets.
Against the Titans, it came in form of an 80-yard, 14-play drive to win the game. The Cowboys and Jets ran the ball effectively in the second half. Missed tackles were frequent.
Over the last three games, the Raiders have communicated less on defense and paid for it, giving up 24 of 44 (54.5 percent) on third-down conversions.
"It's a marathon, not a sprint, and when you're in the middle of a marathon, you're thinking about something crazy," defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said. "You've got to make sure the collective mindset comes back and gets back to where you want it to be."
Other than the Tennessee game, the Raiders defense hasn't been on the field for an inordinate amount in terms of time of possession or snaps.
Three defensive nonstarters -- cornerback D.J. Hayden, safety Usama Young and linebacker Kaluka Maiava -- are now on injured reserve. Defensive end Jason Hunter was lost for two games with a foot injury, just in time for Vance Walker to be out with a concussion.
Veteran players such as defensive end Lamarr Houston, cornerbacks Tracy Porter and Mike Jenkins, safety Charles Woodson and middle linebacker Nick Roach are rarely off the field. Roach, in fact, hasn't missed a snap this season.
The Raiders' blitzing tactics are creating less pressure, with only 11 sacks in the past six games after getting 21 in the first seven.
"I think it's the natural attrition of the season," Allen said. "Our guys have been in a lot of close games, a lot of battles. It's not just a physical thing, it's a mental thing. When you grind that hard to dig yourself out of a hole it takes its toll. We've done some things to freshen them up, and hopefully they'll be ready to fly around on Sunday."
Practices are being run at something approximating a walk-through pace, with emphasis on communication and assignments.
"Any defensive guy that plays this game, at this point they're going to be worn down, they're going to be tired, and the coaches are doing their part to freshen guys up a little bit," Porter said.
Houston, who had what he called his worst game against the Cowboys but played better against the Jets, said: "We're in Week 15, we've been taking a lot of banging and that's just how this game goes. As coaches they're doing a good job knowing when to pull back."
Film cut-ups have stressed the communication and energy level on good plays and bad. On the good plays, Tarver said, defenders are alert, they are talking, pointing and moving into position.
"Good defenses fly around and communicate and notice things, and you can just see the energy," Tarver said.
If the Raiders are sagging defensively, Chiefs coach Andy Reid wasn't going to confirm it in a conference call with Bay Area reporters.
"The way they're executing the defense has been better than the first time we played them, and we punted the first five times we had the ball," Reid said. "I think they're very good, and we're preparing for a good defense."

PIEDMONT -- After 40 years as a dentist, Dr. Allen J. Gardner looked forward to retirement.
An active retirement.
Never one to sit idle -- and far too young at the time to even consider it -- Gardner needed something to help fill his time. And the Piedmont resident neither had to look far nor take long to find it.
"As it was, they were looking for volunteers here at the (Piedmont) Police Department," Gardner said.
Thus began a second career for Gardner -- one that started in 1984. And one that continues strong 28 years later. Now 90, Gardner has become a respected mainstay in the department's property and evidence room, where he volunteers his services on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Known as "Doc" by friends and colleagues, he continues to inspire those around him.
"He's a marvelous person, absolutely marvelous," said former Piedmont police Chief Lisa Ravazza. "His integrity is beyond reproach in any way, shape or form. And I don't think that I can estimate the number of hours he has volunteered. His heart is into dedicating himself to service."
Serving others has been a lifelong passion for Gardner, who went directly into the Army after graduating from dental school. He went into private practice four years later, going on to have an office on Oakland's famous "Pill Hill."
As had been the case in dentistry, Gardner's background in science and technology has served him well as a police volunteer, where he also has to keep up with the latest advances.
"Imagine going all the way through the Depression and World War II to cellphones and computers," said Piedmont interim police Chief Scott Wyatt. "When you walk in (to Gardner's workplace), he's on the computer."
In his tenure as a police volunteer, Gardner also has sent notices to people whose alarms have gone off and done house checks for fellow residents away on vacation. But his primary focus is the property and evidence room. And Gardner's dedication and willingness to grow with the job have earned him respect throughout the department.
"Since I've been here, he's been in charge of our evidence locker along with another longtime volunteer, Stan Silverman (who has had a much shorter tenure than Gardner)," Wyatt said. "They have been trained on how to properly handle evidence. They know when to remove things at the appropriate time."
A property and evidence room can become hectic. Mishandled, misplaced or contaminated evidence will ruin a case. To that end, the expertise of Gardner and his fellow volunteers has become particularly valued.
"An evidence locker tends to pile up over time," Wyatt said. "But here, it's neat, it's organized. I've (worked in an evidence room), too. It's not easy."
And Gardner never has been averse to helping out during his "off" hours.
"We would be working on something, and (officers) would ask if we could get Doc in early," Ravazza said. "We'd call and he'd say, 'I'll be down in a minute.' He's like the Energizer Bunny. And he's just a fountain of knowledge."
Dedication to serving the community seems to run in Gardner's family. His son, Michael Gardner, serves as chairman of the Piedmont Public Safety Committee.
"They're a very giving, community-oriented family," Wyatt said.
A resident since 1964, Gardner calls Piedmont a nice place to live. And he has dedicated himself to help keep it that way.
But it gets challenging.
"I think our society is getting away from volunteers," Gardner said. "When I first came here, we had 20 volunteers; now we have five. Maybe there were more people not working then than there are today, but we need more (volunteers)."
Others echo that sentiment.
"He's a great guy. We're lucky to have him, and we'd like to have more people like him," Wyatt said.

The Ledger's ongoing attack on the Lakeland Police Department and Chief Lisa Womack is becoming tiresome. Everyone I speak with, friends, family, store clerks, etc., says much the same thing: The Ledger need to find something else to occupy its time.
Nearly eight months now have passed with near-daily articles and editorials regarding the sex scandal, the "sins" of Chief Womack and the nondisclosure of the grand jury report. Find something else about which to write.

Beginning Saturday, the Saturday evening Eucharist at St. Anne's Episcopal Church will be celebrated outside each week for the entirety of the summer (weather permitting). Because of the venue, the service is called "Mass in the Grass."
The start time will be moved back to 6 p.m. to take full advantage of the shade of the building.
This worship service will continue to emphasize a laid-back, less-formal, come-as-you-are style that's still in keeping with Episcopal tradition.
St. Anne's is located on South Main at Sutherland Street, across diagonally from the McPherson Opera House. All are welcome. Sunday worship begins at 10 a.m.

Knicks Could Be Worth $3 Billion
If you think $2 billion is steep for the LA Clippers, just imagine how much the New York Knicks could fetch if owner James Dolan ever put the team up for sale.
Mr. Dolan may have three billion reasons to think about, according to one analyst.
The Knicks could be worth as much as $3 billion "based on percentage premiums to recent sale prices for franchises such as the LA Clippers, The Bucks, and New Orleans," says Rich Tullo, director of research at Albert Fried & Co. The Knicks and the NY Rangers of the NHL are owned by Madison Square Garden
Last week, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer made a $2 billion bid for the Clippers, well above the franchise's $575 million estimated value, according to Forbes. The Bucks sold for $550 million in April and the New Orleans Pelicans were bought for $338 million.
As of January, Forbes estimated the Knicks were worth $1.4 billion.
"While much of the Clippers premium is excessive in our view, we think the bid does suggest the market for iconic sports franchises is robust," Mr. Tullo wrote in a research note Friday. "We argue despite the recent sale value, intrinsically the New York Knicks as part of MSG are worth at least 50% more than the Clippers because MSG operates a regional sports network and owns its arena."
MSG shares recently rose 1.2% to $57.15. The stock is up about 18% over the past month and has risen 15 trading days in a row through Thursday's close, a stretch that has coincided with the Rangers playoff run to the Stanley Cup. It is the longest such streak since MSG was spun off from Cablevision Systems four years ago.
In the 2013-14 season, the Knicks average ticket price was $123, compared to the Clippers average price per ticket of $63, according to Mr. Tullo's calculations. He found that the Knicks generated revenue of more than $100 million for its 41 home regular-season games, which doesn't include revenue from luxury boxes concessions and advertising. That's roughly half what the Clippers generated, he says.
In addition Mr. Tullo noted that the Madison Square Garden arena–known as "the Mecca" of basketball–could be worth $2.1 billion to $3 billion by itself.
"We think the NY Knicks are worth 50% more than the Clipper's intrinsically," Mr. Tullo said. "If the Ballmer valuation for the Clippers holds up we are saying the Knicks are worth $3 billion and if the Clipper's true intrinsic value is $1 billion then the Knicks are worth $1.5 billion and maybe $2 billion.
"While the Clipper's value might be a one-off; we note for the same tax and personal reasons the Clipper's earned a premium value the Knicks could earn a premium, too," he added. "Thus we think the Knicks are now worth +$2 billion up from the recent $1.4 Forbes valuation in January 2014."
UPDATE: As of January, Forbes estimates the Knicks were worth $1.4 billion. An earlier version of this article incorrectly pegged the estimate at $1.4 million.

The family of a Winona County sheriff's investigator killed 34 years ago is disappointed his killer will be up again for parole in three years.
Relatives of John Schneider were collecting letters and emails opposing the release of John Kirch, who's in prison in Stillwater.
Kirch was convicted of fatally shooting Schneider after he and two other deputies responded to a domestic disturbance at a mobile home in Goodview in September of 1980.
Kirch's application for parole was denied in June 2004, the first date he was eligible. At that time, his next parole date was set 10 years out.
KARE-TV reports the parole panel Monday decided to continue Kirch's prison sentence for three more years. Scheider's family had hoped his next parole date would be set at least 10 years out.

Duckworth named new MHS boys' cage boss
April 30, 2013
Mark Duckworth enjoyed a lot of success as a Warren junior varsity boys' basketball coach....
I wonder if the School Board would be interested to know that Mr. Duckworth installed illegal gambling machines in several businesses around town and then had to go and try to scramble to remove them when businesses were getting busted....the whole time knowing that they were illegal and lying to these businesses and not backing them up when it all came down.

kangaroo court.....at the time the machines were iffy.
You know that of course.
Mr. Duckworth will make a fine addition to the Marietta program as it has been at an all time low.
Can only go up from where it is.
I am sure you know that too.
This man is a square shooter; is an old time coach that will keep his staff in line, discipline the players as needed, and produce a winning team.
I'd BET on it; how bout you. Let's say a quarter?????????
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
First of all, as soon as he found out they were illegal he removed them. Secondly, he is going to tick some people off. He is hard core. Perhaps he will get MHS back into a money making program. Sounds like Kangaroos kid didn't play as much as Daddy wanted. Welcome to the Duck Dynasty.

Duck is a great guy. How could anyone disagree with this appointment.
Always has kids and their well-being in mind.

From what I have seen of Mr. Duckworth, he is an excellent coach and makes the kids "toe the line". His biggest negative is his yelling at players and refs during the games. With that said, anything would be a vast improvement over what the departing "coach". Mr. D will get results with whatever talent (or lack of) that comes his way.

Why Graduates Should Keep Living Like Students
ELEANOR BLAYNEY: What advice would I give to college graduates starting off their careers with enormous student debt? Put that enormous college debt to enormous work by finding a job with plenty of upside potential. Commit to continually building on the knowledge, skills, and networks you acquired in college to ensure that your "human capital" is growing at a rate much greater than the interest rates on your student loans.
Make sure to keep your lifestyle as modest as a college student's, even as you grow in professional stature and earnings. Think twice about payment plans that stretch out those loans for as long as possible: Your goal is not to reduce your payments but to retire the debt, so you can get on with the other important things in life–owning a home, kids, retirement. Draw up a financial plan with a certified financial planning professional that will have you student debt-free by the time your own kids are off to college.

In this Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012 photo, Free Syrian Army fighters shout at a captured suspected pro-Bashar Assad fighter in the town of Harem, Syria. Rebels say the man was killed shortly after this picture. Despite two weeks of attacking a Roman-era citadel in which pro-Assad militia are dug in, the rebels failed to secure the town. (AP Photo/Mustafa Karali)
TEL HAZEKA, Golan Heights (AP) -- There are fresh fears today that Syria's civil war could drag Israel into a conflict that has already spilled into Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.
After firing what it described as a "warning shot" into Syria yesterday in response to a mortar shell, Israel's military today said its tanks scored a "direct hit" on a mobile artillery launcher after another stray mortar fell into Israel territory in the Golan Heights. The military would not say whether the launcher belonged to the Syrian army, saying only it had targeted the "source of fire."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told foreign ambassadors that Israel is closely monitoring the situation and will not allow its border to be violated.
Meanwhile, a Turkish official says a Syrian fighter jet made three bombing runs over a rebel-held area along the border with Turkey today, killing as many as 20 people. The official also reports that eight Syrians wounded in separate incidents died in Turkey.

Narrow down the 143 results:
Berlin may well be the European capital of cool. The city belongs to the young people – the post-Berlin Wall generation – and it pulls of a heady combination of libertarianism, rebellion and loyalty with flair. It's a large city by European standards, and while it has a highly-efficient, easily navigable transport system, first-time visitors would do well to base themselves within one of the central districts, where the main attractions and a lot of the nightlife is located. The city does exceptionally well at providing good quality, budget accommodation, including in all the districts below.
At the heart of modern-day Berlin, Mitte (which means 'middle') was at one point the westernmost city of East Berlin. Since reunification, it has slowly but surely established itself as Berlin's true centre, and now attracts the tourism it deserves. Home to the German parliament and iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie, Mitte is perfect for those wishing to explore Berlin's cultural and political heritage, whilst still taking advantage of chic cafes and restaurants.
This district, bordering Mitte, is dynamic and exciting, popular with young designers and entrepreneurs. History and modernity sit in contrast here: on the one hand, the memory of the East-West divide looms large, with the exceptional Jewish Museum and the longest intact section of the Berlin Wall. On the other, sleek, modern buildings and museums dedicated to modern architecture, science and technology show that this district is stepping confidently into the future. There are plenty of green spaces here and riverboat cruises are available on the canal, making it a good choice for families, whilst the area's legendary nightlife will attract young revellers.
Charlottenburg is true city chic. As Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg has asserted itself as the nightlife and cool-kid district of choice, Charlottenburg in turn has become ever-more upmarket. One of Berlin's major boulevards is located here: Kurfürstendamm is the German equivalent of Paris' Champs-Elysees. As well as Berlin's best shopping district, This district also boasts the oft-photographed Charlottenburg Palace, once a royal residence, and plenty of museums. For those seeking a bit of respite from the city, Charlottenburg offers easy access to the Grunewald forest, a nature reserve covering over 7,000 acres within Berlin's city limits.
Traditionally Berlin's gay neighbourhood, Schöneberg is a district which practises tolerance and brings together a diverse set of people. The Winderfelt Markt offers wonderful fresh produce d is a great place to browse, whilst the district's range of quirky, independent restaurants and bars have something from just about every culture, from Turkish to Cuban. Top this off with a few old-fashioned cabaret venues and Schöneberg has the perfect mix for an off-beat Berlin experience.
x The average starting price for a place to stay in Berlin is £69 per night.
achun07 This hostel was VERY clean. The atmosphere was great for travelers and it is very comfortable. The amenities offered--a kitchen, two bathrooms, and nightstands for everyone. The hostel staff is amazing and very responsive to things/issues. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone who is coming to Berlin for a short/extended stay. The staff will help you with how to use the train systems here and the hot spots for certain activities (shopping/clubbing/where to get regular things/laundry) as well. I enjoyed staying here very much!
mar.montal Accomodation is clean, confortable, easy facilities, very well communicated with Berlin center and the best, Andreas that is kind and helpfull.
BRussell Excellent cost, excellent crowd. Close to things on the East side of Berlin. Far from the West side hot spots (Bradenburg Tor, Victory Column). By far a great hostel.
Warschauerplatz 6-8Excellent 92%
barnardo.zondag What a perfect stay for us. The staff was brilliant!!! Very friendly and very helpfull! Wish there was a plus in Munich and in Franfurt!!!!!!! Great value for money!
spiglet Absolutley brilliant hostel, could not fault it although free internet would be a bonus. Staff were excellent, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. All you can eat breakfast for 4.50€ kept us full all day
wacky1985 Near station. Clean and enough space. Nice receptionist. Quiet place. With computer but no wifi. Kitchen is available only for long term renter.
Nik. Grand Hostel? Yes, it is. You will find yourself in a place where you wonder whether it is a small hotel or a hostel. It is a nice and very clean in the "Gründerzeit" built house with high ceiliings and a well furnitured lobby where you can get delicious "all u can eat" breakfast for 6,50€. Located close to one of Europe's best kebap places, historical sights and a metro station you can reach everything from here on quite easily. The young friendly and multilingual hosts will give you a map and a lot of ideas where to start from and what to do! We booked a double room and had a little surprise on our pillows... We visited Berlin during Berlinale so we paid a little bit more than usual, but still totally worth it!!
jenniesue This was a great hostel and I would highly recommend it. It was very clean and the staff were professional. Wombat's has great facilities, with a bar, plenty of computers and internet access, laundry and attached restaurant. Rooms were modern and comfortable with ensuite bathrooms. Everything felt very clean. The location is a short walk to the subway and Alexanderplatz, as well as several up and coming neighborhoods. Staff were very helpful. While staying here one of my roommates was found to have bed bugs. The staff handled it very professionally and immediately transferred me to a new room, gave coins for laundry and free drink coupons. I shudder to think what would have happened if this had occurred at a different hostel. I would definitely recommend staying with Wombats.

The Rock and Roll that started afterwards was also upbeat, but once the jamming started (undoubtedly Charlotte Jam) it all got warm and fuzzy. Fairy dust was spotted. The jam opened up as Mike took us into some strange territory and then Page and Trey started trading some nice meaty chops. They were peaking for a while and took it down low. There seemed to be one part where they were all looking for where they would go next, but they seemed to realize they were where they were trying to really go and then took the time to let things flow. Damn! We were hosed here. It was really nice. I heard a beat that I swore was "Twist" but then there were growls and "Ghost" was just there in all its glory.
This was perhaps the brightest "Ghost" I have ever heard. It did start out somewhat dark, but once the jam got going it seemed to be very joyful, warm almost. This was my favorite part of the night, dancing to the ecstatic waves of phantasmal glee. Just blazing hot too. Trey was absolutely on fire here and the others were right there with him. What a band! They can still surprise me. Yummy.
Ok, Free that followed was standard 3.0 Free - that is, well-played but not jammed out nearly enough. It's still a great song though. Reba that followed was executed with ruthless precision in the composed part - ok, we get it, you guys still have it - and then the jam was beautifully mellifluous. I'm telling you, this was also really bright.
Bright, happy stuff tonight!
Icculus... Anything I say will diminish it. Hopefully they will make a video of this.
Bike was its usual craziness. Jon took lots of bows. "Best drummer in the world," my son said. "Best vacuum cleaner player too," I responded. The solo went a little longer than usual, but "Bike" is always welcome to me.
You Enjoy Myself that ended was its usual excellence. The jamming here did get pretty dark and the vocal jam had shades of mounting chaos, before it all dissipated.
Double encore: Wilson, Loving Cup
Lots of Gamehendge tonight. Good show. I think a little better than average but I do not think it's the best of the tour. It is an interesting show though.

US Open - web review
Federer already closing in on Sampras (foxsports.com)
Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick in four sets to win his third straight U.S. Open title. Hear from Federer after his ninth career Grand Slam. What did Woods like the most about the nearly invincible Swiss?
"His attitude," Woods said. That's short for unflappable.
With his 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 victory over American Andy Roddick in the final of the U.S. Open, Federer won his ninth Grand Slam title and put five legends in the rear view mirror: Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry and Ken Rosewall. He's all alone with nine majors and is now sixth on the all-time list, behind Bill Tilden (10), Rod Laver (11), Bjorn Borg (11), Roy Emerson (12) and Pete Sampras (14). But at the age of 25, he's on a faster pace than Sampras. Like Woods, he's already looking like the best ever. If he stays healthy, that thought might turn definitive in five years time.
IMPRESSIVE FEAT (Home News Tribune)
If there were any question whether Roger Federer was the greatest tennis player of his generation, no one at the U.S. Open men's final needed to look any further than his player box.
There, stashed indiscreetly in the front row, was Tiger Woods.
Andy Roddick couldn't help but notice that, at his native Slam, the All-American icon was rooting for the other guy. Roddick, seeded ninth here, volleyed with panache, but yesterday's 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 decision in Federer's favor seemed nothing short of ordained.
When Federer finally won the silver trophy on his second match point, he fell onto his back in the blue court and looked up into the lights of the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
"I deserved to lie down, kind of give myself a break," said Federer, laughing after the match. "From standing up, sitting down and everything, I just thought lying down would be more comfortable. Thank God I didn't injure myself."
Federer in a Class by Himself (New York Times)
It was a final evening to remember at the United States Open, with camera flashes going off in the stands like strobe lights, with Tiger Woods flashing his grin in Roger Federer's box and with Federer dropping to his knees with delight onto the court that has been his private domain for the last three years.
But as Federer lay briefly and exultantly on his back, staring up at the night sky with his 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 victory over Andy Roddick complete, it was hard to keep the mind from drifting to another match Federer played this year.
It was in Paris in June in the French Open final and, in the end, that loss to Rafael Nadal on the crushed red brick at Roland Garros was all that separated Federer from a Grand Slam and an even bigger place in the game's archives.
For now and perhaps quite a bit longer, Federer will have to settle for coming as close as possible to the ultimate achievement in tennis. He was 27-1 in the four Grand Slam events this season, winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the United States Open.
Federer owns another Open (New York Daily News)
Tiger and Mrs. Woods had a front row seat at Arthur Ashe Stadium yesterday. Across two and a half hours, they had the privilege of seeing a man in a headband not so much play tennis as jazz inside a blue rectangle. They saw him riff and improvise, slice and spin, hit with precision and power, sometimes all on the same point.
They saw No. 1 Roger Federer - Woods' fellow IMG client and fellow athletic marvel - capture his ninth Grand Slam championship, his third of the year and his third straight at the U.S. Open, a feat that came at the expense of ninth-seeded Andy Roddick.
The 24-year-old Roddick came in with a recharged game and 19 wins in his last 20 matches. He was hoping to score his second Open title and battled hard in front of a packed, partisan house, but he wound up watching Federer turn another Slam final into an exquisite piece of sports art, the canvas finishing at 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
"There's never a guarantee (about how) you feel in a moment like this, especially against an American in the U.S. Open," Federer said. "It's so hard. So I'm really, really happy with how it went."
Federer blasts Roddick to win 9th major (The Globe and Mail)
If Tiger Woods performed as well in the clutch with Roger Federer watching him as Federer did yesterday with the great golfer looking on during the U.S. Open final, he would surely be pleased.
With Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegin, seated in the front row of the courtside seats beside Federer's girlfriend, Mirka Vavrinec, the Swiss sensation raised his game at five-all in the third set of a dead-even match to convincingly defeat Andy Roddick, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Woods and Federer (both Nike clients), probably the most famous individual-sports athletes in the world, have admired each other from afar, but had not met until yesterday. They had a 20-minute conversation before the match.
It certainly seemed to inspire Federer, as he sprinted to 5-0 lead in the opening set. He did likewise in the fourth set, but, in between, appeared unusually vulnerable, particularly when resurgent Roddick led love-40 on his serve at 2-2 in the third set.
But Federer, starting with an ace, saved the three break points and then another before finally holding serve.
The highly entertaining drama continued until Roddick served at 5-6 and was broken on five points.
In the fourth set, Federer elevated his game, much as he had in similar circumstances a year ago against Andre Agassi, and put on a display of exquisite shotmaking.
Federer shows Woods his greatness (Boston Herald)
There might be one athlete in the world who knows exactly how Roger Federer feels as he dominates his peers and gobbles up Grand Slams, so it was fitting that Tiger Woods was sitting in his guest box yesterday for the U.S. Open final.
Federer met Woods for the first time beforehand, then apparently set out to impress the golfer, controlling every facet of play in a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Andy Roddick for a third major championship this year, ninth of his career.
"More and more often in the last year or so, I've been kind of compared to Tiger so I asked him how it was for him," Federer said. "Many things were similar. He knew exactly how I felt out on the court, how it feels to be invincible at times."
Federer elite with U.S. Open three-peat (Allentown Morning Call)
This U.S. Open was all about the greats of the game, from Andre Agassi's tearful farewell, to the renaming of the site to honor Billie Jean King, to Martina Navratilova's this-time-she-means-it retirement.
It was only fitting, then, that the tournament's final point was won by Roger Federer.
After all, by beating Andy Roddick 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 Sunday for a third consecutive championship at Flushing Meadows, Federer took another step toward being regarded as the best tennis player in history.
With his new pal Tiger Woods sitting in the front row, Federer won his third Grand Slam title of the year and the ninth of his career, moving closer to Pete Sampras' record of 14.
After the match, Federer and Woods cracked open two bottles of Dom Perignon in the locker room.
"I'm shocked myself how well it's been going the last three, four years," Federer said, "being not only compared to former great tennis players, but now especially also other great athletes all over sports. It's just really nice."

Dr. Kowalczykowski's honors include election to the National Academy of Sciences (2007), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005), the American Academy of Microbiology (2003), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2001). Dr. Kowalczykowski's research programs focus on the molecular mechanisms of recombinational DNA repair; the biochemical functions of DNA helicases; single-molecule biophysical analysis of protein-nucleic acid interactions; and BRCA2 and the molecular etiology of breast cancer.
Single-Molecule Visualization of Protein-DNA Complexes: Understanding Biology, One Molecule at a Time
We can now watch individual proteins acting on single molecules of DNA. Visualization is achieved by capturing a single DNA molecule with optical traps or by tethering to a glass surface. Proteins are visualized via fluorescent reporters, and molecules are manipulated using microfluidic flowcells. Using these approaches, we have imaged proteins functioning in the homology-directed repair of DNA breaks. We can image the search for DNA homology conducted by the RecA, the self-assembly of RecA and RAD51 on DNA, and the function of mediators such as RecFOR and BRCA2.

After a successful two years on The Alameda, Zona Rosa owner Anna Pizzo seized the opportunity to open a second restaurant. This one will be in downtown Los Gatos, where Pizzo expects her success to continue.
"This location has been very profitable," Pizzo says of her Rose Garden restaurant. "It's a great neighborhood restaurant, and the business model works.
"Los Gatos is a great community; it's similar to this community," she adds. "I'm definitely going to keep the same neighborhood feel."
Pizzo says the location of the new restaurant--at 81 W. Main St. next to Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Co.--is also great. She expects more foot traffic there than she gets at the San Jose Zona Rosa.
"I love the charm of the building," she says, sitting outside her restaurant at 1411 The Alameda. "It's similar to this one; it has an Old World feel."
She sees the Los Gatos Zona Rosa as having 10 to 15 more seats than the San Jose restaurant, which has a capacity of about 24. Unlike San Jose, however, there will be no outdoor seating.
The space will afford her the opportunity to expand in other ways.
"I'd love to do things in Los Gatos that I can't do here, like cooking classes and private events, but that's long term," she says. "It's just another place to be more creative."
Pizzo opened the first Zona Rosa in July 2012 with friend and fellow Willow Glen Resident Susan Gentile, who has since left the business. Since then, Rose Garden residents have taken to the restaurant's menu, which features what Pizzo calls "modern, seasonal Mexican" food.
She says Zona Rosa will fill a niche not covered by any other Los Gatos restaurant. Like the original Zona Rosa, the Los Gatos location will be open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The menu there will be the same as the one in San Jose, she adds, with the possible addition of more vegan and vegetarian items.
Pizzo plans to hire staff to help manage the Los Gatos restaurant. She's hoping for an August opening, pending the necessary permits.
The Los Gatos location formerly housed Mmoon Empanadas restaurant, so the changes Pizzo is making to the building are more aesthetic than structural.
"The process of opening in Los Gatos has been pretty smooth and very welcoming," she says.
Given the relative ease with which she is opening her second restaurant, Pizzo says she can envision opening a third Zona Rosa some day.
"For now, I need to do two and do them right," she adds.

One year after trying the center position for the first time, Cal's Brian Schwenke will get the chance to compete for the starting job with the Tennessee Titans.
Schwenke was the 10th player chosen in the fourth round on Day 3 of the NFL draft Saturday.
"They believe I can be the starting center next year -- that's what they told me," Schwenke said on a media teleconference. "The position isn't going to be handed to me. I have to earn it. I look forward to the challenge."
Meanwhile, Serra High grad David Bahktiari, an offensive tackle from Colorado, went to the Green Bay Packers with the 109th selection, and Stanford tight end Levine Toilolo was taken by the Atlanta Falcons at No. 133, the final pick of the fourth round.
In the fifth round, running back Stepfan Taylor, the leading rusher in Stanford history, was taken 140th overall by the Arizona Cardinals, and Cal cornerback Steve Williams went 145th to the San Diego Chargers.
In the sixth round, offensive tackle David Quessenberry became San Jose State's first player drafted since 2009 when he was taken 176th by the Houston Texans.
Schwenke, a 6-foot-3, 314-pound native of San Diego was moved from guard to center before his senior season and almost instantly took to the position.
"I'd never snapped a football. Now I feel more comfortable at center than I ever did at guard," said Schwenke, who earned first-team all-Pac-12 honors last fall.
"Tennessee just got the nastiest, toughest offensive linemen that I watched on tape all year long," ESPN's Todd McShay said.
"I think he's absolutely correct," Schwenke said. "I take pride in the way I play. I enjoy playing nasty and I think it makes the game of football fun. I think that's how it's supposed to be played."
Former Cal coach Jeff Tedford is convinced Schwenke is ready for the next level.
"He came in undersized, but he could always run and is very athletic," Tedford said. "He's very smart and highly competitive. And he's played two positions, which always helps."
Schwenke is the first Cal center drafted since the Cleveland Browns took Alex Mack in the first round in 2009, and the second center taken this year.
The 6-foot-5, 302-pounder earned first-team all-Western Athletic Conference honors last fall, helping the Spartans to an 11-2 record, their most successful season ever.
Quessenberry, who gained 60 pounds since arriving at SJSU from La Costa Canyon High, is viewed by NFL scouts as a player who also could play guard.
Taylor rushed for 1,530 yards as a senior last fall -- second-highest total in school history.
The 5-foot-9, 214-pound running back rushed for exactly 4,300 yards in his Stanford career, scoring 40 touchdowns. He was a workhorse for the Cardinal, carrying the ball a total of 843 times and compiling 19 games of at least 100 yards.
His 4.34-second clocking in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine turned heads and Williams is projected as perhaps a nickel back for the Chargers. "I'm a playmaker, I can tackle on the edge, I can make plays on the deep ball, I can intercept the ball."
He's also excited to stay on the West Coast, close to his year-old daughter Lia, who lives with her mother in Oakland.
A 5-9, 181-pounder, Williams totaled 80 tackles, three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and one forced fumble last fall, earning honorable mention all-Pac-12 honors.
"I'm beyond excited right now," Toilolo said in comments to Stanford. "I'll be able to learn from Tony Gonzalez, a future Hall of Famer and one of the best to ever play the position in the game. I can't wait to get out there to Atlanta, get to work and be a part of this team."
An imposing player at 6-foot-8, 260 pounds, Toilolo is the second Stanford tight end taken in the 2013 draft. He and former Cardinal teammate Zach Ertz, who went to the Philadelphia Eagles with the third pick of the second round, form the first tight duo to be drafted from the same school since 1970.
Toilolo caught 50 passes for 763 yards and 10 touchdowns in his Stanford career, averaging 15.3 yards per reception.
Toilolo comes from a family familiar with the NFL -- uncles Dan Saleaumua, Edwin Mulitalo and Joe Salave'a all played in the league.
The Burlingame native was a surprise early entry into the NFL draft after enduring a 1-11 campaign as a junior at Colorado. Bakhtiari, 21, decided he'd rather give the NFL draft a shot than play for his third coach in five seasons at Colorado.
Bahktiari is a two-time second-team all-Pac-12 selection whose older brother, Eric, has been released by NFL teams 14 times over the past six years.

Will Hall pleased with West Alabama scrimmage
Published: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 18, 2013 at 11:25 p.m.
LIVINGSTON | Coach Will Hall saw enough good things in Sunday's scrimmage to leave him happy as the Tigers completed the first week of fall camp in preparation for the Sept. 7 season opener against Clark Atlanta.
The 50-minute scrimmage came at the end of a two-hour practice and featured best versus best for three series.
Hall liked the work of running backs Kedrick Rhodes, Javae Swindle and Cheeto Johnson as the Tigers continue to work at a faster pace than last season. The \up-tempo style has made a favorable impression on Rhodes and center Skeeter Sellers.
"We are trying to implement some up tempo style on offense. The offensive line did a good job of communicating and we handled our assignments today," Sellers said. "As you saw, we had a lot of big plays and that's our goal this year, to be more explosive on offense."
Rhodes, who is expected to team up with sophomore Javae Swindle to form a potent 1-2 punch for the Tigers, was more to the point.
"The tempo of this offense is much faster than I'm used to. The first day I came out here I died," Rhodes, a transfer from Florida International, said. "I had to come out and do some extra running, but I'm coming around now.
"Javae has all the speed and I am a little more powerful. I use a lot of moves," Rhodes said. "I've worked hard on my speed, but I have always been a good agility guy, having a good burst."
Hall singled out cornerbacks Malcolm Butler and Rashad Greene, as well as linebacker Tevin Thomas on defense. Greene had an interception to highlight his day.
"(Secondary) Coach (Coy) Campbell always tells me to stay inside for the post and in practice I am usually over the top, so I get beat on the post," Greene said. "This time, I said, 'Let me get my mind on the post and staying inside.' I just broke on it and got the pick."

Barton F. Haynes, M.D., will present the 9th James C. Hill Memorial Lecture on Thursday, April 14, from 2 pm to 3 pm in the Lipsett Amphitheater at the National Institutes of Health. His talk is titled "The Path to HIV Vaccine Development."
Dr. Haynes will begin by discussing challenges and impediments associated with HIV vaccine design and testing, and progress being made to overcome them. Then he will present new data on the immune responses generated by the candidate vaccine tested in the RV144 clinical trial in Thailand, the first HIV vaccine to demonstrate modest efficacy in humans. Finally, he will talk about how these results will inform and guide future research efforts.
Dr. Haynes is the Frederic M. Hanes Professor of Medicine and Immunology at the Duke University School of Medicine and the director of both the Duke Human Vaccine Institute and the NIAID-funded Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI), a consortium of six institutes that develop and test new vaccine strategies to overcome key immunological roadblocks in HIV vaccine design.

Has anybody ever heard Granola Funk Express?
I'm curious about them because I have a promo cd of instrumentals by them called, "The Way We Make Bombs" and it's got a lot of really dope production on it. I know they have put out a bunch of actual cds and vinyl, I haven't heard any of it or seen any of their shows. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about them or have any thoughts about them.
