• The concentrations of the trace elements iron, zinc, copper, and manganese were determined in 53 regular infant formulas and 41 special infant formulas used for clinical disorders. Several infant formulas had lower concentrations of trace elements than human milk. The ranges of concentrations found in the formulas were as follows: iron, 0.0 to 57.5 mg/L; copper, 0.01 to 2.14 mg/L; zinc, 0.10 to 13.5 mg/L; and manganese, 0.0 to 7.8 mg/L. In addition to the wide variation in absolute amounts of the trace elements in the formulas, large variations in the ratios of trace elements were found. While the average ratios of zinc/copper, zinc/iron, and iron/manganese in human milk range from 3.3 to 10, 2.5 to 10, and 25 to 100, respectively, they ranged from 0.4 to 74, 0.02 to 40, and 0.04 to 425 in the formulas. These differences in the ratios may be important, as the ratio can affect the absorption of the individual elements. These findings indicate that more attention should be given to the trace element levels in infant formulas.

The Newspaper Collection, located on the 1st and 3rd Floors, consists of print and microfilm formats, including many Idaho papers. Newspapers are also available online in full-text in some of the Library databases.
If you need help locating a print or microfilm newspaper, ask a staff member at the Circulation Desk, 1st floor. They also help with the microfilm readers/printers/scanner in the Microform Room and in making a paper copy of a newspaper article.
These are currently arranged by title and consist of 34 titles (25 from Idaho, 6 from U.S. cities and 3 from international cities. For more detailed information about the print collection, click here.
The print issues are housed in two locations:
- Current Newspapers (located on the 1st floor on the bottom of the current periodicals display shelves) has only the latest issue of each currently received newspaper.
Idaho State Journal (the local newspaper) current issues are kept at the Circulation Desk, until the microfilm is received. Ask at the Circulation Desk, 1st floor, to see/review any of its older issues not yet on microfilm.
- Older Newspapers are located toward the northeast corner of the 3rd floor, near the east restrooms or by the "QH" periodicals. They are kept alphabetically by title, either until their retention period is past or microfilm copies have superseded the print issues.
The microfilm newspaper collection consists of 29 currently received titles and a large selection of older newspaper titles, many with long runs. These newspapers are housed in microfilm cabinets on the 1st floor, filed alphabetically by title. The collection includes many local Idaho newspapers along with some national papers, such as the New York Times (coverage from 1851 to 2009).

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have run out of rehearsal space. Dressing rooms, too.
The award-winning production duo is planning the most performance-filled Oscar show ever. They promise a "wow moment" in each of its 13 acts, so the show demands a more dynamic stage and more dressing rooms and rehearsal time than previous Oscar productions.
"I don't think any Oscars have been as performance-based," Meron said.
It's no surprise, given the pair's hit-filled history: They produced 2003's Best Picture, Chicago, and count TV's Smash and the recent Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying among their credits.
With an unprecedented number of performances, this year's Oscars could look a little more like the Grammys, which is typically like a three-hour all-star concert with a few awards thrown in.
The Grammys have it easier, of course: it's a show about music wherein the nominees are accustomed to live performances, plus the Recording Academy gives out the bulk of its 81 awards during an untelevised ceremony that precedes the main event. The Oscars televise the presentation of all 24 of its awards and have traditionally relied on clip packages to showcase the cinematic achievements of its honourees.
Packing the Academy Awards with performances of various kinds should up the entertainment factor.
"Some of them are musical, some of them are dramatic and some of them are comedic," Zadan said, adding that running out of space for their A-list roster of performers — including Barbra Streisand, Adele and Norah Jones — is "a great problem."
"When you do an Oscar show, you don't have a dressing room problem. The presenters don't get dressing rooms. And how many people perform on the Oscars, like one or two?" he said. "We have a staggering amount of performers and each of them needs a dressing room. . . . We're measuring the magnitude of how big the show is by the fact that we don't have (enough) dressing rooms."
Just added to the list of stars who may need spots? The cast of Chicago.
The producers announced Monday that Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Queen Latifah and Richard Gere will reunite on the stage where Chicago won its Oscar 10 years ago.
"In a night of celebration of the music of the movies, we find it very appropriate," Meron said.
So will the musical cast sing?
"We can't talk about what they're going to do," Zadan said.
Here's what they will talk about:
"We think seeing the cast of The Avengers is pretty wow," Meron said.
Better book them a dressing room.

LeBron James: A management innovator? | Opensource.com
LeBron James: A management innovator?
LeBron James is an amazing basketball player. But is he also a management innovator? I couldn't help but ask myself that question as I watched the news reports last week that three of the biggest professional basketball stars have chosen to play together in Miami. Early reports indicate that each of the players will take a pay cut in order to play together.
Historically in the NBA and most professional sports teams, the owner has all the power. In some cases a general manager wields the power on behalf of the owner. Over the past decade, a few coaches have unsuccessfully attempted to share power with owners. In all cases the players are highly paid to play the sport. The players are not part of the management team and are not involved in personnel decisions. The players have very little power.
So what happened last week?
The NBA experienced an organizational earthquake.
I noticed several parallels between what is happening in the NBA and what I see happening more broadly in business because of the open source way.
Leading business strategist Gary Hamel has said that open source is one of the greatest management innovations of the 21st century. In The Future of Management, Gary writes,
"The success of the open source software movement is the single most dramatic example of how an opt-in engagement model can mobilize human effort on a grand scale... It's little wonder that the success of open source has left a lot of senior executives slack-jawed. After all, it's tough for managers to understand a production process that doesn't rely on managers."
In open source, developers opt-in to working on projects that interest them.
Last Thursday, for the first time in NBA history, three players opted-in to a project that interested them: winning an NBA title together as part of the Miami Heat.
What is particularly interesting is that the players made this decision and not the managers. This is a huge, fundamental shift for professional basketball. This is not an owner hiring a player. In this case, the players chose the owner. Or more specifically, the players chose the environment that they wanted to work in.
The generally accepted idea is that top talent goes to the highest bidder. Daniel Pink has written a lot about employee motivation, and specifically that money may not be the most powerful motivator:
"So we tend to think that people need to have big financial incentives attached to everything they do, when if fact, here you have something that doesn't have at least a direct financial incentive for people. That they're spending their time on and doing amazing work. Why are they doing that? They're doing it for the sense of challenge. I think that's a big part of it. To get better at something that matters.
I also think that the collaboration side of it is important in the sense that if you collaborate with great people, you're more likely to learn, and so that's going to enhance your mastery."
Using the words of Daniel Pink, these three players have chosen to collaborate together in order to enhance their mastery. To do something that matters: win a championship. Money was not the deciding factor.
It appears that many of the same principles that have helped the open source movement become successful are now being put into practice in the NBA. In the 21st century, talented individuals will chose to work on projects that matter and that make a difference. It happens in the open source world. And now it is happening in the NBA too.
So, what is an NBA owner to do?
Perhaps innovative owners will change their business models to empower employee-owners.
What do you think? Are we seeing the first signs of radical management innovation in professional sports?
2 Comments
A radical innovator maybe? Pat was already a mastermind. This is surely a large change in his career, as well, but he's secure enough with his legacy to go with it. To me thats a significant achievement...someone with 40 years of experience, willing to change his ways.
The truth is that sports executives and management have not held control over the decisions of players since the innovation of Free Agency in the 1970's. The players have always held the choice. The player have historically just exercised the economic right to maximize their financial worth for the most part. What I think took a "hit" in this instance was the concept of competition. In a way this was actually very anti-competitive and something that will actually hurt the NBA as an organization in the long run if changes are not made in the structure. Basically this is collusion on behalf of a handful of laborers or suppliers to manipulate a market much like labor unions in the US steel, US auto industry and OPEC. And we all know how those industries are perceived in the world.
The fact is that they (Lebron, Dwayne, and Chris) exercised their right to choose which they have had since the beginning of the Free Agent Era in a new manner. James and Bosh each signed a sign and trade deal that gave them $110 million over 5 years and the Heat gave up future draft picks to win now, leveraging their future for known resources today. I'm not sure that this is the Open Source way, but I for one would rather a world in which the costs of decisions are burdened by the ones that make them. I can't imagine that the Cleveland economy and all those business that are impacted by these decisions (by some estimates $45 million) will find recourse.
With choice comes responsibility and it tough to see how this was anything but a micro level decision that benefited a few at the expense of the whole. The best idea may not have won in this instance, but I guess that is yet to be seen and only time will tell.

The two teams that hold at least a share of every Big Ten championship since 2005 will meet in Columbus Saturday night, as No. 4 Ohio State is set to host No. 23 Wisconsin.
While the Buckeyes (4-0) are on the shortlist of national-title contenders, Urban Meyer sees the Badgers (3-1), who have made three consecutive trips to the Rose Bowl, as the Big Ten's premier team.
"We have a lot of respect for Wisconsin," Meyer said, according to Kyle Rowland of Eleven Warriors. "In my opinion, they are the king of the Big Ten."
Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland sees things differently, writes Zack Meisel of The Plain Dealer.
"We've got the trophy, but I'm sure we are considered the underdog," Borland said, "We're fine with that. We're fine with it either way."
One certainty going into Saturday's clash, though, is that it will be one of the hardest-hitting games for either team all season.
Both teams are coming off dominant victories. Ohio State blasted Florida A&M 76-0 last Saturday while Wisconsin dispatched Purdue in easy fashion.
The team that comes up with a victory will have the inside track to win the Leaders Division.
Date: Saturday, Sept. 28
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
Place: Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio
Spread: The Buckeyes are favored by 7.5 points, according to Vegas Insider.
Radio: Ohio State football radio affiliates and Wisconsin football radio affiliates.

Family and friends gathered at a vigil at Third and Mitchell streets in Milwaukee for a young father who died there in a weekend shooting.
Police said 23-year-old Mario Towns was robbed and shot about 2 p.m. Saturday.
His son's mother said he was going to college and he was a good person.
"He was studying business because he wanted to be a rapper. He wanted to be something in life. And they took everything from him. They took my baby daddy from his son. And now my son has to grow without a father. And I just want justice for my son," Jessica James said.
Investigators are still looking for the shooter.

Tungsten T3 Stretch Screen expands viewing options
Monday October 13, 2003
Palm has significantly expanded viewing options for the latest Tungsten T3 handheld by incorporating a "Stretch Display" that delivers 50% more screen area than other Palm devices and adds the extremely useful option of rotating the display from portrait to landscape to best suit the type of document you are viewing.
The 400MHz Tungsten T3 runs Palm OS 5.2.1 and features 64MB of memory (52MB actual storage capacity), built-in Bluetooth connectivity (providing Internat access via a compatible mobile phone), voice memo recorder and MP3 and portable video functionality.
The slider design incorporates a 320x480 "Stretch Display" that enables simple rotation from portrait to landscape, making it easier to optimise viewing of files such as spreadsheets or photos taken in different modes. The soft keyboard area can also be collapsed to maximuse screen viewing area.
The T3 is Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook compatible and an expansion slot can be used to boost memory or add a Wi-Fi (802.11b) card.
The new Tungsten T3 is among three new releases from PalmOne (the new name adopted by Palm handhelds since the "spin-off" from PalmSource, makers of Palm OS software) - the entry level Zire 21 at AUD$199, the business oriented Tungsten E at $399 and the high-end Tungsten T3 ($799) which includes a "Stretch Display" that creates 50% more viewing area than other Palm handhelds and can be switched from portrait to landscape mode.
The Tungsten E features 32MB of expandable memory, high resolution 320x320 transflective colour screen and like the T3, MP3 and video playback plus improved Personal Information Management (PIM) features.
The Zire 21 Handheld has increased its memory fourfold over the original model (now 8MB), runs Palm OS 5.2.1 and is powered by a 126MHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor. The device supports input via "Graffiti" (Palm's simplified alphabet) or soft-keyboard and a single recharge lasts about 2 weeks with normal use according to Palm.
The Zire 21 Handheld costs AUD$199, the Tungsten E AUD$399 and the Tungsten T3 AUD$799. Visit www.palmone.com/au for further information.

Traffic Stop Leads to Large Drug Seizure in West Linn
WEST LINN - Early Tuesday morning, July 7, 2009 at 12:12am, West Linn Police stopped a vehicle as it left Mary S. Young Park. During the stop large amounts of psilocybin mushrooms, tar heroin, cash, and a semi-automatic pistol were seized.
Arrested at the scene was the driver Alex C. BRADLEY (18) of West Linn. He was initially charged with Possession of Controlled Substances (PCS) for psilocybin mushrooms along with false information to the police.
The case is being referred to the Grand Jury for additional charges; to include delivery and possession of various controlled substances within 1000 feet of a school.
The passenger Justin Alan BURKE (31),also of West Linn, was arrested for Probation Violation regarding alcohol consumption.
Officer Ryan LESMEISTER was working radar along Willamette Drive (Hwy. 43) at the entrance of Mary S. Young Park, which had been closed for several hours. The vehicle driven by Mr. BRADLEY drove out of the park and pulled up behind the officer's marked WLPD car. Mr. BRADLEY drove around the officer and was stopped by Officer LESMEISTER for violation of park hours.
During their initial contact, the driver told the officer he had no identification and used a false name to identify himself. He was subsequently taken into custody for false information for a citation.
During the handcuffing procedure Officer Tony POITRAS saw a wrist band with Mr. Bradley's name on it. Mr. BRADLEY was driving on a suspended driver's license and his car was impounded. During the impound procedure, a methamphetamine pipe was found in the trunk along with a safe and two backpacks.
A drug detection dog from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded and alerted on the safe.
A search warrant was subsequently served on the safe and backpacks. Officers found a veritable pharmacy, including about 350 grams of psilocybin mushrooms ($1,760) along with 18 bags (20 grams) of tar heroin, worth about $1,800, methadone, oxycodone, marijuana, a semi-automatic pistol, and a Community Service Officer Uniform from the City of Happy Valley including a cloth badge. The uniform was reported stolen from a car break in several months ago in Happy Valley.
Also found in the safe was $2,985 in cash, illegal fireworks, a digital scale and packaging materials. Mr. BRADLEY resides at 5685 Broadway Street in West Linn.
"This is a substantial drug bust" said Police Chief Terry Timeus, "This will put a big dent in the local supply."

Intrigued by the drama and inspired by the sophistication of British aristocrats in Downton Abbey, some fans are plotting to bring the series' style into their own homes, from gilded finishes to opulent upholstery to portrait paintings.
"We've gone so casual in the last decade in terms of home decor. I think there is a desire to be a little more formal, or a little more glamorous," says Kristie Barnett, an interior design blogger in Nashville, Tenn. "That doesn't mean it can't be family-friendly."
Downton Abbey, in production for its fourth season, features the noble Crawley family "upstairs" and its servants "downstairs" in a sprawling country estate. The characters are struggling to bring the estate and their traditional sensibilities into the 1920s, a time of social and political ferment.

One of the greatest songs of all time now has a music video to match.
Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" was released in 1965, a full 16 years before the invention of MTV – which only made it all the more shocking when the music legend premiered an interactive music video for the song Tuesday.
Produced by interactive video studio Interlude, the clip mimics a television set, giving viewers a choice of 16 "channels" to watch the video on. Each channel mimics what you'd find on a real TV – there are cartoons, sports, an ersatz BBC, even a special version of The Price Is Right – except for one crucial fact: Everyone who appears on screen is lip-syncing along to the Dylan classic.
Interlude CEO Yoni Block told Mashable that the company plans to add additional channels later, but right now, the original 16 will do just fine.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Wall Street Inn New York City
An oasis of peace in NY
Excellent Hotel.
Located on a lovely and quiet street during week ends, the room was very clean, the continental breakfast is relatively high class and the street in the back is filled with nice restaurants where we ate oustside on the street. The Wall Street subway station is close by and if you are in a spiritual mood, Trinity church is within short walking distance with its talented choir.
A great affordable European-style stop in New York, mostly if you like New York but aren't crazy about police and ambulance sirens. We'll be back!
Neat Hotel in the Financial District
We reserved the Wall Street Inn for two nights over Labor Day weekend. We knew the financial district would be quiet, which was great with us. The location was great for us because it is so close to the subway. We were able to walk to the ferry to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
The hotel reminded us of European boutique hotels we have stayed in. The room itself was a corner room with a king sized bed, tv, desk, and a chair to relax in. There was a bowl of fruit the first night we arrived. The bathroom was clean and compact, but very well-appointed. The linens were great.
The hotel has a free continental breakfast that was adequate. There was cereal, pastry and coffee/tea/juice. The second morning we were there we didn't go downstairs until 9:00 and there weren't many pastries left, but we still had enough to eat. We were just happy that we had the option of a free continental breakfast, which is a rarity in Manhattan.
The staff was courteous each time we spoke to them. Our only problem with the hotel arose at checkout when the rate we were charged didn't match the confirmed rate we booked. I had a copy of the email confirmation at 109/night and we were charge 129/night. The manager said that there must have been a reservation system error and we agree to comprise with a refund of $30 to my credit card. I felt this was fair.
We will definitely consider this hotel when we return to Manhattan.
Very incompetent
The night crew are complete morons. They tell you nothing is available when it is. They barely speak english. The hotel attendant had his friends hanging around in the lobby smoking. I was not happy with the safety factor. I must admit the rooms were clean.
Nice hotel, good location
I had never heard of this hotel until I read about it in Trip Advisor. Decided to stay there, and I'm glad I did. This is a very nice, boutique-style hotel, in an excellent location. Only 6 rooms per floor, only 1 elevator, Coke machine is in the basement (the "Lower Level"). Looks like it has been renovated within the last 2-3 years. All in all, a very nice hotel, and I'll be going back to stay there again. I gave it 4 stars, instead of 5, only because it's a little limited on services (no room service, etc.). That's not a criticism, just a fact.
Pretty good hotel -- right near Wall St. Subway Station.
I took the advice of other Tripadvisor posters and I decided to stay at this hotel. I managed to get hotel reservations the same day. (I made my reservations at 1 AM through the hotel's website.)
This hotel is at 9 S. William St. You can take the #2 or #3 train to get within real close walking distance of this hotel (just a couple of blocks). The hotel is back several blocks and then a bit to the right (green awnings).
This is not a very well known hotel. My NYC friend never heard of it. Nonetheless, the Tripadvisor user ratings rang true. As soon as I got there, there was an attendant at the front desk. Unlike many other name brand hotels, this fellow was a true gentleman and offered to arrange private car service for me to get back to the airport the next day. Everyone there was genuinely kind (even the guests).
I went up to my room after receiving a single key card. On my floor, I was surprised to see just a handful of rooms on the floor (a few double-suite rooms and the like -- probably less than 10 rooms on the floor). The exterior of the rooms were painted white with gold lettering for the room numbers. From the exterior, it looked like more like an apartment entrance than a regular name-brand hotel room.
When I stepped into my room, my impression was that it reminded me much like a daughter's room in a house. The comforter was floral and the room seemed airy and bright. I was pleased to see that the curtains were tastefully closed (usually, at the name-brand hotels I have stayed, the curtains are wide open -- hey, you're exposed for the whole world to see (I'd rather not like to even think of anyone just casually observing me unpacking my suitcase, etc., etc. )). They were thick, durable curtains (the kind you see at the big-chain hotels).
In the room, there will be a bed (or two - depending upon your room type), two telephone stands (with alarm clock/radio and telephone), one work-desk (with menus (you can get delivery of various cuisines (many asian ones) to your hotel room) and a guide to NYC entertainment), a TV cabinet (with a TV, VCR, drawers for clothes and the like, and a mni-refrigerator (with a lock and key)).
Behind the long mirror (by the door) is an iron and ironing board. (I had to call the front-desk to find out where the iron was. It was not apparent.)
There also is a large walk-in closet (and tucked up on a shelf in the corner was a Yellow Pages phone book).
There are plenty of electric outlets.
The bathroom is really nice. It's done much better than other luxury hotels I have stayed in. There are switched for the light, heat, night light, and the like, on one panel. There is a modern bathtub/shower, toilet, sink (Greek-style -- it was nice), and toiletries (soap, shampoo, lotion) (and sewing kit). There is also an extra roll of toilet paper and plenty of towels (thick, white terry towels). There is also a hair dryer.
The room was quiet and I had no problems falling asleep at night. It also was immaculately clean.
About 5 minutes after I had stepped in the room, I heard someone say, "Hello?" I opened the door and there was a maid (dressed "traditionally" -- like what you would see on TV in the olden times) and she had a small basket of fresh fruit. I thanked her for that -- she was going around to every room and putting in that basket of fresh fruit. That was really nice. The fruit though was pretty hard and sour -- but it looked nice at least!
The only problem I had with the room was that I had a hard time setting the dead-bolt at first (I had the feelng that the room was recently renovated -- some things seemed brand-new). And, then, I always had a problem shutting the door -- I had to fiddle with the deadbolt a little in order to get the door to shut. (I noticed that there was a mark on the door frame and that others must have had this problem too.)
Some miscellaneous information about the hotel --
The hotel does have a business center. It is free of charge. There is a computer and copier/printer that is right across from the front desk. There is no password (currently) that you need to use to log-in. I was able to access the Internet and print out what I needed to the printer (it looks like a copier, but it also can generate hardcopies).
On the lower lobby level, there is an exercise room.
On the lobby level, starting at 7 AM, there is a small assortment of pastries and the like -- e.g., fresh bagels and other general, baked goods, juice, etc. It is complimentary.
At the front desk, you can get videos for the VCR machine that's in the rooms.
Restuarants, etc.? There are several restaurants nearby. I didn't have time to check out any of them (I did my dining in other parts of Manhattan.) There is a Starbucks that is just a few blocks from the hotel (northwesterly direction).
People traffic? There seemed to be a lot of families and other people about my age that were in the area. Perhaps they were also staying at this hotel. There were also some down-and-out people (one of whom had spit on me -- yuck). I was surprised because this was the Wall St. area and I didn't expect to see poor, struggling, disgruntled people there,esp. on a Sunday, but I did.
Is it safe at night? I returned to the hotel room around midnight (after taking the subway). I felt a little bit nervous (encountered some "disgruntled" people in the subway and walking to the hotel), but it was (on the whole) very safe. The area isn't well lit at night and it is in somewhat of an isolated location. That is the only downside IMHO. I got the impression that many people returned to their rooms earlier than I did.
Do you hear your neighbors? I hardly did. Which was a relief -- even with the big-name hotels, the walls always seem to be way too thin. But, I watched TV for awhile before retiring and the like and it seemed to be just fine.
How do you get to Times Square? If you walk to the Broad St. station (several blocks west), you can get any subway that has a letter designation (e.g., R-train) and this will take you to Times Square. Just so long as you are going in the uptown direction, this is where you want to be (Wall. St. is in the downtown direction compared to Times Square -- at W. 42nd St.).
How do you get to the upper East Side? You can walk to the nearest subway station at Wall St. and William St. and catch the #2 or #3 and this will take you to the Upper East Side (just make sure you're taking the train in the uptown direction).
Miscellaneous questions:
How do you get to Manhattan from La Guardia Airport?
The M106 bus stops at the airport. You just need $2 in change (quarters) or a metro-card. The M106 stops near Columbia U. (around W. 115th St. or so). From there, you can take the subway to get to the hotel. (I walked many blocks, exploring, so I can't say exactly which subways you can take -- but there are definitely subway stations along the M106 route.)
There is also a bus that you can take (departs every 30 minutes) into Manhttan for a $12 flat-rate.
Remember, once you're on the subway, take the #2 or #3 train downtown to get to the Wall St. station (the station will say "Wall St.").
A real jewel
This is an exquisite little European-owned hotel tucked into a winding back street. It is a former bank and my corner room had mullioned windows almost floor to ceiling and wrapped around the room. Its Wall Street area location offered a peaceful night's sleep on Friday and Saturday evening. The bed was very comfortable, and the furnishings hotel-style, but lovely. The floor to ceiling marble bathrooms were European style with nice amenities. Everything was absolutely immaculate. Every staff member I encountered was very considerate and courteous. The room rate includes a very nice continental breakfast in the morning. There is no restaurant on site, but they provide menus from various local restaurants that will deliver and charge the meal to your room at the restaurant's normal prices with no added fees, a real advantage over typical room service prices. My morning and late-night take out orders from the 24hour deli were delivered in 15 minutes (another advantage over room service). The coffee was still hot! Hotel-discounted parking in the lot directly across the street was $30 for 24 hours. A cab ride uptown will be quite pricey but there are lots of subways nearby.
Enjoyed our stay
We stayed here last Friday night and agree with the other posts --found the hotel to be attractive, quiet and well maintained. Although we thought it would be inconvenient to midtown, we scooted up the FDR Drive in less time than it would have taken to drive in midtown. One caveat--if you have a car, be sure to use the parking garage across the street . We parked on the street, got a pricey ticket, and only later discovered a no parking sign at the other end of the street under scaffolding.
Excellent option for a NYC stay
Small boutique hotel off the beaten track, with great rates for weekends. The service was personal, the room clean and neat (if a little small, but this is New York), and the bathroom was excellent, w/nice towels and a good shower. The small street on which the Inn is located is quiet at night and so this inn is quiet in a way not many NY hotels can be. We were in the 2nd floor room directly above the entrance. Not sure if the rooms on the other side of the hotel endure any more noise from the busy pub across the street that runs along the back of the hotel. Since it's just a few blocks from many subway stations, the location is not a problem at all - we were able to get back from any location uptown quickly and efficiently. I would stay here again on future trips.
Great quiet hotel
We stayed a Friday and Saturday night and found out the Wall street area is quiet thru the weekend but this is probably a busy business hotel during the week. A parking garage is across the street and you can catch a taxi or bus at Battery park a few blocks away. Our room was large by NY standards, very clean and comfortable with extras not found in the chain hotels. Friendly helpful staff. No onsite restaurant or bar but many choices are within a few blocks. They do have a nice complimentary continental breakfast.
Great find!
In a non-descript area of lower Manhattan, on one of the old, narrow, winding streets near Battery Park, the Wall Street Inn is a rare find. A small, boutique-type hotel that is family owned and operated, opening in 1999, it has more of a home-away-from-home feel than a hotel. Much like a European hotel, but with larger and more comfortably furnished rooms. My room was beautifully decorated with high-quality furnishings. The bath was swathed in marble up to its cornice-moulded ceiling and had separate switches at the bathroom door for light, heat, vent and night light. The tub was deep and the hot water instantly available as well as plentiful. The housekeeping was also excellent with nary a speck of dust anywhere and all of the hardware polished and looking brand new. Even small details, such as the types of light bulbs used in the lamps and the polished brass window hardware, showed the attention of someone who knows the right way to do things and does them just that way. Good management is not always easy to find. I paid a corporate rate that was easily 25% less than what I typically pay for mid-town properties. For anyone with business in lower Manhattan, or who wants to experience a different part of Manhattan that's only a quick subway or cab ride from midtown, the Wall Street Inn will be a very satisfying experience.

Carlo er meget venlige og imødekommende.
Champagne er en fin detalje af hans hånd, frugtsaft også
Carlo est très sympathique et accueillant .
Le champagne est une délicate attention de sa part ,les jus de fruits aussi
Wonderful store, lyse loftsrum lejlighed med to altaner. Smagfuldt indrettet. God placering. Bagere etc lige rundt om hjørnet, metro og kun to minutter væk. Carlo og Tini er meget venlige værter. Hele projektet blev henrettet perfekt bureaukratisk og gnidningsløst. Vi blev mødt med endnu en flaske vin, chokolade osv. for første start. (Meget nyttigt, hvis du kommer med fly, og derfor kan kun tage en smule). Vi vil komme tilbage!
Cornelia og Uli
Wunderschöne große, helle Dachwohnung mit zwei Balkonen. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Gute Lage. Bäcker etc direkt um die Ecke, Metro auch nur zwei Minuten entfernt. Carlo und Tini sind sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Die gesamte Abwicklung verlief vollkommen unbürokratisch und reibungslos. Wir wurden sogar mit einer Flasche Wein, Schokolade etc für den ersten Start begrüßt. (Sehr praktisch, wenn man mit dem Flugzeug kommt und daher nur wenig mitnehmen kann). Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Cornelia und Uli

Smith Of Wootton Major - Farmer Giles Of Hamby J. R. R. Tolkien
Two bewitching fantasies by J. R. R. Tolkien, beloved author of THE HOBBIT. In SMITH OF WOOTTON MAJOR, Tolkien explores the gift of fantasy, and what it means to the life and character of the man who receives it. And FARMER GILES OF HAM tells a delightfully ribald mock-heroic tale, where a dragon who invades a town refuses to fight, and a farmer is chosen to slay him.
Tales from the Perilous Realmby J. R. R. Tolkien Alan Lee
The definitive collection of Tolkien's classic "fairie" tales, in the vein of The Hobbit, illustrated by Oscar winner Alan LeeNever before published in a single volume, Tolkien's four novellas (Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, Smith of Wootton Major, and Roverandom) and one book of poems (The Adventures of Tom Bombadil) are gathered together for the first time, in a fully illustrated volume. This new, definitive collection of works -- which had appeared separately, in various formats, between 1949 and 1998 -- comes with a brand-new foreword and endmatter, and with a series of detailed pencil illustrations by Alan Lee, in the style of his other award-winning Tolkien work, most recently in The Children of Húrin.The book is the perfect opportunity for fans of Middle-earth to enjoy some of Tolkien's often overlooked yet most creative storytelling. With dragons and sand sorcerers, sea monsters and hobbits, knights and dwarves, this collection contains all the classic elements for Tolkien buffs of all ages.
The Tolkien Readerby J. R. R. Tolkien
Contains Tolkien's Magic Ring, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son, Tree and Leaf, Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, Book 2)by J. R. R. Tolkien
The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor--the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring.
Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earthby J. R. R. Tolkien
A New York Times bestseller for twenty-one weeks upon publication, UNFINISHED TALES is a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring, and further relates events as told in THE SILMARILLION and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.The book concentrates on the lands of Middle-earth and comprises Gandalf's lively account of how he came to send the Dwarves to the celebrated party at Bag-End, the story of the emergence of the sea-god Ulmo before the eyes of Tuor on the coast of Beleriand, and an exact description of the military organization of the Riders of Rohan and the journey of the Black Riders during the hunt for the Ring.UNFINISHED TALES also contains the only surviving story about the long ages of Númenor before its downfall, and all that is known about the Five Wizards sent to Middle-earth as emissaries of the Valar, about the Seeing Stones known as the Palantiri, and about the legend of Amroth.

About This Book
In May of 1850, a little girl named Faith is about to embark with her family on a westward journey to California in a covered wagon. The trip is expected to take six months, and the family can take only those things essential for their long journey. And since Faith's pet hen, Josefina, is too old to lay eggs and too tough to eat, Faith must convince her father to let her bring Josefina along.
The most treasured items the family carries, however, are the patchwork quilts that Faith's mother and grandmother have made over the years. Each patch in the quilt tells part of a different story, and sewn together, compose the family's history. On the journey across mountains and deserts, Faith occupies her time with making her own quilt. The story her patches tell recounts how Josefina manages to lay an egg just when the family is at their neediest, and how the hen sounds an alarm when robbers try to ambush the wagon. When Faith sleeps in her own bed in her new California home, she sleeps under the completed quilt, full of memories of an arduous journey and the adventures of one heroic hen.
This engaging I Can Read Book also includes a note from the author providing readers with some basic historical background on quilt making, and the dangerous journey west that earned pioneers their name. Bruce Degan's illustrations offer an informative picture of life on a wagon train. Both words and pictures capture a little girl's love for her pet, and what it means for both of them to undergo such a drastic change in their lives.

I saw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin recently in a 2007 movie called "The Condemned." It's about a TV producer who gets inmates who have been condemned to death out of third-world hellhole prisons, brings them to an island and pits them against each other in a fight to the death. Last man standing gets a million bucks or something.
When it was announced last week that Mumia Abu Jamal would not get a new sentencing hearing to determine whether he'd be sentenced to death in the 30-year-old murder of a Philadelphia cop, a lot of the radio announcers kept repeating that Mumia would finally — since his appeals were all over and he'd now be serving life in prison — be returned to general pop, the general population of his prison.
One cop posted on Facebook that maybe, back in general pop, Mumia would "meet the fate he deserved."
Mumia Abu Jamal has a huge following of people around the world who think he's innocent, or that the trial process was flawed in his case. His is a cause celebre, as they say in France.
The same day all this hit the news wires, came the news that former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich would serve 14 years in prison for corruption. I wondered if Blago would go into general pop.
So, then it hit me: Why NOT a TV show? There are reality shows aplenty with way less drama potential. Life in a pawn shop? Really?
"General Pop," as this show would be called, would put Mumia Abu Jamal and Blagojevich in general pop, along with some other noted inmates.
How about Bernie Madoff, Lindsay Lohan, Phil Spector, Manuel Noriega, Charles Manson, John Hinckley Jr., maybe Jerry Sandusky and his wife?
We get Richard Hatch, the Survivor winner who was jailed for tax crimes, to host it. According to the news at press time, he was supposed to be released from prison yesterday. I'm sure he wouldn't mind going back inside the big house to shoot the show if the moolah was right.
Now, don't get me wrong. Far be it from me to advocate that these inmates engage in violent conduct. Why, that would just be wrong!
All I'm suggesting is a "Survivor" kind of reality show. Let these people, from all walks of life, mix and interact. Maybe some new personality traits would be developed. It would make for riveting television, I'm quite sure.
I suppose we could wimp out and have the inmates vote someone out, but making someone LEAVE prison? Well that wouldn't really be punishment in prison, would it?
So we'd have to come up with something. Solitary confinement? No, that wouldn't work, either. If being deviled by your colleagues in general pop is a pain, solitary might just be a pleasant respite.
As you can see, there are some wrinkles that have to be ironed out, but overall, I think this idea has legs and can take off on its own as a big-time TV hit. And none of this Oprah channel nonsense, either.
This has to go to major networks, or at the very least, on Spike!

Opera for a Small Room, a collaboration between Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, introduces visitors to the quirky world of a man named R. Dennehy, the owner of a collection of opera records that the artists purchased at a second-hand store in British Columbia, Canada.
The installation, which Cardiff and Miller describe as "a small room for the opera of Dennehy's life," features a structure filled with records, lights, and other knickknacks. Visitors can peer into the ramshackle room through holes in the walls, but are not able to enter it. Music pouring out of 24 antique loud speakers permeates the gallery, echoed by the rhythm of pulsating lights. The music, record players, and lights become the "actors" in this theatrical and durational work that conveys a dramatic and individual narrative portrait.
Carnegie Museum of Art gratefully acknowledges Jill and Peter Kraus for the loan of Opera for a Small Room. Major support for this exhibition is provided by William I. and Patricia S. Snyder. Additional support is provided by the Juliet Lea Hillman Simonds Foundation and by The Associates of Carnegie Museum of Art. General support for the museum's exhibition program is provided by The Heinz Endowments, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Allegheny Regional Asset District.

THE PHOTO SHOOT ITSELF WAS A cozy affair—supermodel Elle Macpherson, all alone in her rented bungalow on L.A.'s Mulholland Drive, posing in front of a camera with a self-timer for what she later described as "some nude or partially nude photographs." It was only after that intimate shoot that Macpherson, 33, found herself ensnared in a sordid drama featuring burglary, blackmail and the "boy toy" defense.
Her ordeal came to a head on July 4 when Macpherson helped police bust Michael Mishler, 29, for allegedly breaking into her bungalow and stealing $6,000 in cash, jewelry valued at $100,000 and some 15 photos. Mishler, along with William Holt, 26, is also charged with extortion, for threatening to post those explicit pictures on the Internet if Macpherson didn't pay $60,000. The blackmail bid was foiled when police nabbed the duo during a phony money drop in an L.A. shopping complex.
Claims by Mishler that he had dated Macpherson—indeed, that he was her spurned "boy toy," in the words of his lawyer Lawrence Young—were vehemently denied by the model at a press conference last week. "I have never met Mr. Mishler," she declared, "and with any luck I will never, ever meet Mr. Mishler." (Her lawyer Bert Fields has filed a defamation suit against Young.) Mishler and Holt, now in the L.A. County Men's Central Jail awaiting trial, have both pleaded not guilty. Macpherson, having wrapped her latest movie, Mom's Up on the Roof, slipped away on vacation to an undisclosed location. As for Elle's personal pictures—dubbed "art photos" by Fields and "sexually explicit" in an investigator's report—they are safely sealed away in the office of the Los Angeles district attorney.
It was a rare bit of bad nudes for the dazzler from Down Under, who has built her career on baring almost all. Macpherson's cyber-scare began on June 23, the morning after she returned to L.A. from Paris. Her driver Mike Ceballos handed her an envelope he'd found in her Ford Explorer, which had been left unlocked in her open garage. It contained a note demanding that she pay $60,000—or the extortionists would post nude photos of her on the Internet. The threat was accompanied by eight shots from Elle's private shoot.
"I flipped out," Macpherson told investigators when they arrived to interview her. "I was really scared." The photos were among those kept in her bungalow, in a diary belonging to her boyfriend of 18 months, French financier Arpad "Arki" Busson, 34. Macpherson recalled last seeing the diary in her bedroom June 11, four days before the visiting Busson noticed that $6,000 he'd left there, in an open drawer, had vanished.
Macpherson agreed to help police set up a sting, and on June 27 investigators from the DA's office stuffed fake bills into envelopes dusted with fluorescent powder. At 11 p.m., as demanded, the packet was placed on top of Macpherson's mailbox. But three hours later the money was still there; the blackmailers had spotted the cops. They sent Elle a second note on July 1, jacking up their demands by $20,000 and telling her to await another call on July 4.
When one of the extortionists, his voice disguised electronically, got her on the phone, she agreed to have her manager Stuart Cameron deliver the payoff. In a follow-up call the same eerie voice told her to drop the money on the third floor of the garage of the Beverly Center shopping complex. Police put the area under surveillance, and at 8:30 p.m., Cameron delivered the envelope.
Three minutes later a red Dodge Intrepid stopped, and a young white male jumped out to retrieve the package. Once he got back in, police gave chase and quickly caught and arrested Mishler and Holt. Inside the rented vehicle, police found two mobile phones, an electronic voice-distorter, a laptop computer, a loaded .38-caliber handgun, a passport and the fake cash.
Mishler, a computer whiz and self-described inventor, may not have been a stranger to the Mulholland Drive compound; he reportedly lived out of his Winnebago in the area. Chris Little, a security guard who once roomed with Holt, says Holt told him that Mishler knew the code to the compound's security gate. In any case, L.A. security expert Don Crutchfield, a private investigator for celebrities who once handled security for Marlon Brando, faults Elle for not locking her car or garage. "To leave doors unlocked and money in an open drawer," he says, "why not just put up a neon sign?"
Little also describes Holt, a miniblind salesman who had been Mishler's partner in a failed speaker-manufacturing business, as a "very trusting" person who might have been duped into participating in the crime. Mishler, who was convicted for burglary in 1989 and once served prison time for stealing a Ferrari, "tended to want to do everything in a big bang," says Pierre Hoffmann, owner of an auto-supplies company who hired Mishler in January to design decorative lights for cars. "He was going to make his money really quick. He was always in it for the quick killing." Mishler also bragged of dating Elle. Says Hoffmann: "He told me I wouldn't like her because she smokes."
Smoking mad is more like it. Macpherson, peeved at the media for having "extrapolated" Mishler's boy-toy claims, wrapped up her press conference by saying, "I truly hope that nothing like this ever happens to any of you." But Crutchfield sees Elle's mess as almost inevitable in a cyber-age of dwindling privacy. "If you take pictures and don't want the world to see them," he says, "burn them."

A recent article in the New York Times reported that West Virginia spends more than $1 billion in tax credits and incentives each year to recruit and retain businesses in this state. The newspaper article said the Mountain State spends more per person on this activity than any other state except Alaska.
West Virginia Commerce Commissioner Keith Burdette was quick to come to the state's defense during an appearance before the Legislature's Joint Commission on Economic Development and the Joint Committee on Finance last Wednesday in Charleston. He said the newspaper article created a "woefully inaccurate picture" of how this state uses its business tax incentives.
According to Burdette, West Virginia only spent $32 million for all tax credits and exemptions during the past budget year and $10 million of that attributed to the state Film Industry Investment Act.
The newspaper article reported that West Virginia spends about $1.57 billion annually for various business incentives. The single largest tax incentive was said to be a $1.17 billion annual sales tax exemption for manufacturers and other firms to purchase equipment and goods used in production or other business activities.
Burdette's response on that claim was that it was misleading to include that exemption in the total because virtually every state has that exemption but the Times didn't mention that fact. He accused the Times reporter of not comparing "apples to apples." He also noted the information was taken for the 2009 tax year, which saw an unusual boost in equipment purchases for power plants in this state.
"The only reason our value was particularly high (that year) was that it was partly contributable to pollution control efforts made at power plants," said Burdette, a former legislative leader. He claims the state Tax Department only grants about $32 million in tax credits to businesses annually.
Burdette also told lawmakers that Pennsylvania has offered a $1.2 billion package of tax incentives to Shell Energy to attract a cracker plant to extract natural gas. West Virginia officials are also hoping to get at least one new plant located in this state for the same development.
But officials at the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy, a nonprofit watchdog of state government, had a different view in this dispute. They have been critical of the state's lack of transparency in reporting data on tax credits. And while they agreed that the newspaper's article had flaws, they maintain that it provides more information than state officials have been willing to provide.
Sean O'Leary, a policy analyst for the Center on Budget and Policy, said "the (New York) Times may have painted a bad picture but in West Virginia, we haven't painted anything at all. It's just a blank canvas."
It has been more than 12 years since the West Virginia Legislature - at the request of then Gov. Cecil Underwood - passed this state's version of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, specifying that the only legal union in this state is between a man and a woman. This law includes language that any "public act, record or judicial proceeding of any other state" as it relates to a same-sex marriage "or a right or claim arising from such relationship, shall not be given effect by this state."
It was this statute that compelled Deputy Commissioner Steve Dale of the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to deny a West Virginia driver's license to waitress Cynthia Landis, who now lives in Romney and has been married to her same-sex partner, 30-year-old Melissa Landis, for more than a year. She had no problem obtaining a new driver's license with her new married last name in neighboring Virginia following their wedding in October 2011.
Dale told a reporter he would be glad to legally issue a new West Virginia driver's license with her ex-husband's last name since in this state's eyes, she still legally carries that last name of Hatton. He said her only option is to go to court and have a judge order the name change she desires.
At this year's legislative session, Delegate John Doyle, D-Jefferson, sponsored a bill to give gay and lesbian couples the same legal protections as heterosexual married couples but it never emerged from committee. Fairness West Virginia, an organization that advocates on behalf of the gay, lesbian and transgender population in this state, said it was the first time a civil union bill had been introduced in this state.
A recent move by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to allocate an additional $4 million to the Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) for the budget year beginning July 1 means that state employees, teachers and other workers covered by the state health insurance program won't face any additional cost in their monthly premiums. The PEIA Finance Board was then able to approve the 2013-2014 benefit plan Dec. 6 without adopting a proposed increase in out-of-pocket co-payments for family coverage and without a boost in co-pays for specialty medications.
Judy Hale, who lobbies for educators as president of the West Virginia Federation of Teachers, said it was very important that premium costs not be raised because teachers and public employees are "working without a raise this year, and we felt it was extremely important that PEIA be left the same." The glee may be short-lived, though, since a current projection that employee premiums will need to be increased by $11.7 million in the 2014-15 budget year-a boost of 9 percent.

Jessica Chastain In Zac Posen At Cannes 2011
