Historical Traveler Reviews Empire Meadowlands Hotel By Clarion Secaucus
So delighted we stayed
my wife and I came from Ireland on a shopping trip to nyc.What a hotel we stayed in.The crowne plaza secaucus meadowlands was a dream hotel to stay in.The staff were wonderful,the room we stayed in was so big,two king size beds,all the little extras.We had a great stay.Bus stop 2 mins walk from hotel will take you to the heart of nyc for as little as $2.10 each way,what a bargain!the people are so friendly.The only drawback is 'I hate shopping.'
They gave our reserved till midnight room away!!!
Dec 4, 2004 my husband and I arrived in New York for our very first time. I looked for hours to find the best hotel, "I thought", and made reservations a month pior. We called at 10:30am to see if we could check in and were told NOT TO WORRY, THEY HAVE OUR RESERVATION AND CREDIT CARD AND WILL NOT GIVE OUR ROOM AWAY. I told them 3 times we will be there between 10pm to midnight and asked if we needed to drop our bags by. Every time I would worry they lady reassured me our room was safe. We arrived at 10:45pm to find out THEY HAD NO ROOM FOR US. There were 4 ladies in front of me who did drop their bags off. They were reassured the room was still being cleaned and their bags would be put there when done. So there we are, 5 women exhausted from New York with no room. Management called a hotel down the street that was not comparable as far as looks and amenities, but their staff was great! I found out from management Crown Plaza was sending 7 more rooms to this hotel down the street!! BAD, VERY BAD CROWN PLAZA!! What has happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
This was my 2nd visit, and it was better than the 1st!
I stayed here with my girlfriend (girls weekend escape) Nov 27th, (one night) and it was a better stay than the last visit. I have to say first, the rooms were great for the price we paid ($55.00 per night), and so comfortable, we did not want to get out of them. For double beds they extremely comfortable,and the rooms were kept very clean. This hotel seems to be busy all the time, and it so convenient to the NJ bus stop for your adventure in NYC. We will definitely stay here again..I have already booked two dates for 2005, and got unbelieveable rates, AGAIN!!
This would be a FIVE-star RATING...
By recommendation from this web-site, I thought I would give this hotel a try. I'm glad I did. For a hotel located in the New York area, it is very good. One of the best perks is that it is located within 5 minutes walking distance of the 124/129 bus that goes directly to mid-town Manhattan, NY, theater district, restaurant, subway, etc. That was a big plus during our visit.
The service that the hotel provided was also good. However, I needed to depend on it a couple of times during my 4-nite visit. The first time was for toliet paper. After the call was made received two rolls within 5 minutes [A true test of service!!!]. Second, was due to the security latch on the door being very loose. After the maid was advised the service dept came up within 7 minutes.
This hotel is a conference/convention hotel and many people tend to come and go in the lobby. The staff seems to keep up with it although the wear and tear will show, here and there. As I was departing I took one elevator to find an empty glass from the bar on the elevator floor. Took another one to get my luggage and found the same in the other elevator alalong with an empty beer bottle. Advised the staff, and I feel assured that this was immediately corrected. That is why I am giving this 4 out of 5; only because it does well being a NJ near NY hotel but you still have to call and advise along the way. Yes, I would stay again for the comfort and convenience in the area but for the right price - not over $100.00 a nite.
I am pleased to say I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Secaucus, NJ on 10/1 - 10/3/04
The hotel was more than I expected. The staff was FANTASTIC! The ladies running the front desk were professional, kind & courteous. I came to CP for a ladies weekend in NYC. This was the first of many trips we'll be making to NYC. WE (all 5 of us) know without a doubt, that we'll be staying at the CP in Secaucus, NJ. In fact, were making plans to head back up there next month. If you're planning a trip to the city --- this is the hotel. Why bother playing roulette with those hotels in the city? You never know what you're getting in the city. I would highly recommend staying here. The rooms were large, clean, nicely decorated and offered a pleasant view of the river. I just can't say ENOUGH about this hotel; great local, great rates, professional staff, etc....
I hope this review helps...
Great price,great location
If you don't want to pay the high prices of Manhattan hotels, well this place is great. I paid 70$ a night (entertainment card discount), there's also discount for AAA/CAA, seniors.The parking was free. Room was nice , had a distant view of Manhattan skyline .Hotel Shuttle takes you to outlet stores, restaurants in the area and come pick you up. The city bus stop is located in front of the hotel (2.10$ per ride) and brings you to Port Authority(20 min ride) in the heart of Manhattan .Don't miss the 10AM bus, because the next one is an hour later. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. My only problems with this place was breakfast was not included, since I pay so little for my room, I did not mind the 12.95 breakfast buffet. Also lots of meeting/convention, we stayed there 3 nights and they had a meeting every day. I was very happy with my stay and I will be back for sure.
Good service!
The hotel is located a bit offside there isn't much to do around the hotel except driving to NYC. Driving to Manhattan is time consuming. Next time I'll stay on Manhattan. The hotel itself is nice, great views of New York Skyline. We where upgraded to a suite that was very nice. I can recomend this hotel if you are going elsewhere than NYC. Hotel is very good for Newark Airport.
Great Place!
This hotel was a lot of bang for the buck!! I got the hotel at a great price on priceline and it was more than worth the money. The staff is super super friendly. You can take the bus into the city from just outside the hotel for $2.10, it will take you to the Port Authority just outside time square. The rooms were great, CP quality, very clean.
The hotel also offers a free shuttle to any of the area restaurant, they bell staff is more than accomodating. Beware, there is always a convention or meeting going on here, the convention area can be noisey and crowded at times. This property gets a BIG THUMBS UP!!! Request a room with a city view, but bring your bonoculars!!
Great Hotel
This hotel was a nice treat for those hoping to escape the hassle (and priciness) of staying in NYC. Very close to the action, free parking, easy drive to the Lincoln Tunnel to get into the city. Beautiful lobby, nice restaurant, COMFORTABLE and big rooms and beds, spacious bathrooms, and pleasant staff made our stay wonderful. The Spa Select bath products were fantastic. I'm still searching the internet as to where I can buy that shampoo! We got a great deal on Hotwire for $69 a night! Could not beat that deal for such a nice hotel. It was my second time staying there after a convention this summer and I plan to return.
Really great service
The staff here was super helpful. They had directions by car, bus schedules, metro maps and other resources available whenever I asked.
We had a clogged toilet when we came in, but they sent someone right up to fix it. Rooms were clean and nice and there was plenty of free parking, which is of course, great if you're staying anywhere near NY.
There was also a bus stop right across the street that takes you to Manhattan. For the price differences and the quality versus what you can get in Manhattan, it was worth it!

Update: Westside neighbors, Sexton alumni show support for school
LANSING — Sexton High School will have an increased police presence today in the wake of Tuesday afternoon's shooting that left three students injured. The Lansing School District insists that things will carry on as normal and will not let the specter of violence take charge of the school.
"We'll have our crisis team [at Sexton]," Yvonne Caamul Canul, the Lansing School Superintendent, said during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon. "Our public safety officers will be on site. We're partnering with the LPD with increased security. We will also be increasing our public safety officers in the area."
The shooting occurred three blocks from the school on the 1500 block of Ottawa St. near Forbes. The attack appeared to be a planned ambush as residents said that they saw the shooters lying in wait for the victims behind houses and in a driveway.
A fourth victim came to the hospital with a gunshot wound an hour later that may be related to the shooting. The three original victims – two males, ages 14 and 15, and a 17-year-old girl – are recovering in Sparrow Hospital.
Along with the increased security at the school, Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero will be there in the morning as well. Bernero noted that he does not normally go to crime scenes, but this one particularly bothered him.
"I'm particularly outraged when students are targeted and involved in violence at this level," a visibly angry Bernero said. "I'm hoping we can draw a quick line in the sand and get the help in the community to make sure that nothing like this happens again."
That sentiment was also shared by City Councilwoman Jessica Yorko, who represents the city's 4th ward where the shooting took place on the city's west side. Her son's school, which is near Sexton, was also locked down following the shooting.
"Our community cannot accept this," Yorko said on Tuesday. "The neighborhood, the alumni, parents, teachers, and students have worked very hard two years ago to keep Sexton High School open. It is a beautiful school and has wonderful academic programs and no one should fear violence as part of receiving an education.
"We need the students to be involved in keeping their school safe and not fear retaliation," she added. "We have fought very hard to create a beautiful neighborhood, one of the best in the city. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior."
Police are looking for any information on what may have led to the shooting and are reaching out to the students for help.
"We could put as many police and public safety officers in place as possible but it's really the responsibility of students to share with their counselors, their teachers, and their administrators any information that they might have with regards to this," Canul said. "We try to build a trusting relationship with our students and we expect that they would share with us the possibility of an event that would harm the student body."
She added: "Aside from beefing up our security, we'll be talking to our students, and reinforcing to them, the importance of sharing information with us so we can prevent these types of things from happening. The worst thing we can do is stop leading our normal lives. My goal is to continue with normalcy and we're all going to move forward."
Police ask anyone with information on the shooting to call with tips to (517) 483-7867 or you can text an anonymous tip to 847411 and start it with LPD517.Follow Jay Scott Smith on Twitter: @JayScottSmith. Email him at email@example.com Follow MLive Lansing on Facebook and Twitter.

The IW Engine is a game engine developed by Infinity Ward, based on id Tech 3, which was first used on the highly successful game Call of Duty 2. Since then, it has been continually upgraded and used on the games Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Shadowmapping, phong, dynamic lights and shadows, impressive animations, and physiscs all rolled into an engine that's about as technically demanding as Left 4 Dead. It's a nice little engine. I think all of the hate for this engine just is sprouted from the hate for Call of Duty.
This is a pretty nice engine, it has good lighting effects on objects, but it's very limited. I consider this to be an average game engine.
Could be even better.
still hmm uhh why using this engine all time ????
The engine is decent if you want "flashy" graphics, yet the engine is one of the most buggy engines I've ever used in my opinion. The online multiplayer is unstable, the engine freezes constantly, the physics are jumpy, the AI is bad(In my opinion, worse than the ID tech engine they based it on.)and finally, the security features are lacking almost completely.
Surprised by all the bad votes here... Maybe it just the hate for COD and everything related to it. Anyways, it's a good engine with nice features, but it's way too overused
Old ****** engine
Old,crappy textures and ugly
Only in Call of Duty: Ghosts you made only more active environment
The Frostbite is old,but its more active than this one
I have hope that Sledgehammer will save Advanced Warfare
Or i will be still dissapointed by Call of Duty
Call of Duty 2 to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 had the best of the engine. Now it totally sucks and yet the AI is outdated and there are a bunch of crappy bugs.
4.0 / 10 - Bad

Confidentiality for Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities have a right to confidentiality. All information concerning a student's disability is private. This includes written and electronic records, and written and verbal communications. Confidentiality belongs to the individual. This means that a student is free to disclose anything he or she chooses about his or her disability status, but no one else can. This information is "owned" by the individual with a disability and information can be disclosed only with written permission specifying what information is shared, with whom, and for what purpose. Even with permission, information is shared only on a "Need to Know" basis.
If a student discloses his or her disability status to a University employee that person must make the student aware of services provided for students with disabilities. This applies to medical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities. Please refer students to Special Services.
Person-First Language
When we refer to students with disabilities we place the person first. For example, we say "student with a disability," rather than "disabled student." Person-first language demonstrates respect for students and understanding that disability is only one aspect of a multifaceted person whose identity and interests extend far beyond her or his disability status.
Disabilities are Discrete
No one form of disability indicates that another disability is present. Disabilities are specific, not global, and one area of disability is balanced by another area of skill. Disability is one aspect of diversity that can enhance awareness and respect for differences.
Accommodations are not special privileges. They provide equal access for students.
Need More Information?
Please write or call Jo-Ellen Scribner, Coordinator of Special Services (email@example.com) for more information or to make an appointment. Hours: M - F, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Coach Burt Bazzle notched the 500th win of his Green Wave baseball career Monday, a 2-0 victory over Goose Creek.
Bazzle took over as head coach of the Summerville High School baseball program in 1986. Among his other accomplishments is leading the Green Wave team to a Class AAAA state championship in 2003.
Freshman pitcher Sawyer Bridges tossed a one-hitter on his home field to pick up the win and help Bazzle met the career benchmark. The southpaw faced 21 batters in the game, fanning three and walking none. The only blemish to his performance was a single hit by Gator pitcher Cody Smith in the top of the seventh inning.
After Smith's hit, Summerville brought in closer Billy Peatross who got the next batter to ground into a double play to end the game. Goose Creek did put two other batters on base due to Summerville fielding errors.
"That was a strong pitching performance by Sawyer and then Billy at the end," Bazzle said. "Defensively all around we played well and we managed to scratch across a couple of runs. It wasn't an onslaught of hitting but we hit enough. I'm proud of them. That was a good comeback from our game Friday when we made some errors and gave the game away."
Summerville had six hits in the game. Johnston McCurry was 2 for 3 at the plate with two RBIs. Catcher Miles Goodwin was 2 for 2. TJ Hopkins and Craig Lilenthal had the other hits.
Smith faced 24 Wave batters, fanning five and only walking two.
Devonte Base opened the bottom of the third inning with a walk and then advanced on a wild pitch and groundout by Lilenthal. McCurry then drove him in with a single for the game-winning run.
Lilenthal singled in the fifth and then scored on McCurry's second single for the 2-0 margin.
Summerville had some players filling in for players who were injured and Bazzle said they stepped up.
"Michael Powell slid over to center field and did a good job and Craig Lilenthal went in at right field and got a big hit for us," the coach said. "John Eckley played well at third which isn't where he normally plays. I'm proud of those guys."
Summerville improved its record to 4-2 with the win.

The Hidden Budget-Buster Lurking in Your InboxKathleen Celmins
Do you get a lot of email?
Me too.
I have at least four email addresses, which means I get hundreds of emails a day. Hundreds. Some are really fun, like the ones from friends who want to meet up for lunch or coffee. Some are relevant and work-related.
And yet, many of them fall into the unimportant category. You know the ones I'm talking about. The mass emails introducing a new feature on a product, or low airfares to destinations near and far.
But there's one type of email that was more harmful than most. And it's a huge budget-buster lurking in your inbox.
That kind of email? The Daily Deals.
What's wrong with daily deal emails?
You know the kind. Buy this coupon today only and save 30-50% on something you probably didn't want in the first place!
They keep your credit card information handy, so all you ever have to do is click.
The problem? They're almost universally treats, not needs.
"I haven't had a massage in a while," you think to yourself. Click.
"You know, I haven't heard of that Thai restaurant across town, maybe we should check it out." Click.
Then, next thing you know, you have all these vouchers in your hand for things that will cost you more money once you get there!
Why I finally unsubscribed from all of them:
I'm telling you, when they first came out, I was their biggest fan. All my friends were. We'd buy up the gift certificates, then head to the (now woefully) understaffed restaurant, where we'd get terrible service and lukewarm food, and we'd swear we'd never return.
But then, a few days later, another voucher would come up, and we'd throw them back and forth via email. I would forward to a friend, "Should we buy two of these and make it a double date?" and the cycle would repeat.
The scope of those vouchers increased, and one day, I realized I had several expired daily deals.
Well, you don't get refunded for the deals you don't use, so in essence, I'd paid ten or twenty dollars for the opportunity to print a coupon.
Those deals included:
- Ben & Jerry's (why I never redeemed this is beyond my comprehension as of this writing)
- Two different restaurants in geographically inconvenient places during the time I was biking everywhere
- Custom framing (and the artwork remains unframed, in a closet)
- Acro-yoga (why I thought I could be brave enough to try doing yoga suspended in the air is still beyond me)
Some companies give you a full refund if you don't use the voucher, but most don't.
So, one morning, I unsubscribed.
I thought I'd miss them. Really. They were so pretty, and offered a glimpse into a "oooh what kind of person do I want to be today?" fantasy. But in reality, I felt better.
Happier. More comfortable in my own skin.
I realized I was letting other people dictate how I spent my money, and those other people were companies who had an interest in getting some of my money. It was an added stress, too, to remember which voucher I needed to use by which date, and I had a hard time buying a milkshake somewhere when I knew I had a coupon (that I'd paid for!) for a milkshake somewhere else.
Unsubscribing took some time. I think I was subscribed to about 15 (!) different daily deal emails.
But now I'm the one who decides how my money is spent.
And I'm better off.
Do you subscribe to those daily deal emails? Why or why not?

Randall County has a serious mess on its hands with no clear path toward resolution.
At issue is the office of constable in Justice of the Peace Precinct 4. The man who holds the office now, Jeff Lester, has asked the Commissioners Court to abolish the office. Lester, a captain with the Amarillo Police Department, has held the office since 2000, but hasn't worked at it. He's kept the office dormant with the hope of having the county abolish the office over time.
Easy to do, right? Hardly.
The county has redrawn JP lines in accordance with population data finalized after the 2010 census. The county's new JP district lines now places Lester's residence in south Amarillo in JP Precinct 1, which has a working constable, Chris Tinsley.
Lester is now running for election in JP Precinct 1 against the incumbent. Meanwhile, five men are running for constable in Precinct 4, including one man — Amarillo Police Sgt. Jimmy Johnson — who's running on a pledge to keep that office dormant.
So now comes the question. Does Randall County have a constable in Precinct 4 or not? The precinct lines have been certified, which under state law means the county no longer has a constable in an office that the former constable — Lester — wants to abolish. Does the constable have any legal standing to make such a request?
And what about the justice of the peace in Precinct 4, Clay Houdashell, whose court is entitled to security when there's a trial? Houdashell wants that security, but Lester contends the sheriff's department can provide it. Houdashell, meanwhile, said Constable Tinsley is doing a "great job" for the county performing various duties, such as serving civil papers and providing security for Justice of the Peace Jerry Bigham's court.
Sigh ...
This mess is getting murkier by the week.
The solution lies with the Legislature, which has the authority to send a constitutional amendment to the polls in 2013 asking Texans to abolish the office across the state.
That remedy is looking more palatable all the time.

The patient is 40 years of age. The disease from which she suffers began about three years ago upon the right cheek, whence it has spread toward the upper lip. There is much infiltration in the affected part, and exterior to the edges of the main patch are a number of tubercles of glutinous appearance. These tubercles project slightly above the general surface. The extensive and continuous patch upon the cheek is the result of the coalescence of many tubercles. Most of the cheek has been invaded in this manner. Upon the seat of disease are many fine scales. The development of these lesions has, from the first, been accompanied by considerable pain.But the disease is not in active progress in all parts. Upon the cheek are several cicatricial spots. I know, therefore, that however chronic, disfiguring or deep this ulceration, it can not be of malignant

Needless to say, I take exception to County Council Member Mike Victorino's assessment, and I quote, "We just bought (207) acres at Lipoa Point for $20 million. Here's 186 acres - as significant a purchase as anywhere else - I still think it's worth $13 million" (The Maui News, Dec. 4).

The number of murders in Detroit increased by nearly 12 percent in 2009, but the total amount of violent crimes in the city fell compared to 2008, according to statistics released Monday by the FBI.
Detroit had 361 murders in 2009, compared to 323 in 2008, according to the bureau's report. However, the overall amount of violent crimes in the city fell 2.4 percent to 17,553 last year, compared to 17,982 in 2008. Detroit also saw a nearly 7-percent drop in property crimes, from 54,057 in 2008 to 50,274 in 2009.
The FBI's report includes data for cities that have more than 100,000 residents, including Sterling Heights and Warren. Violent crimes in Sterling Heights fell by 12.4 percent in 2009, but increased by 3.4 percent in Warren last year. The number of murders in both cities stayed relatively even between 2008 and 2009.
Violent crimes declined by 5.5 percent nationwide last year, while property crimes decreased by 4.9 percent, according to the FBI stats. Check out the bureau's full report here.

NEW HAVEN — The O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Conn., has named one of its founding members to be its first resident artistic director.
Director, writer and teacher J Ranelli will immediately begin to plan for the summer's playwriting conference, which was in the planning stages when its director, James Houghton, quit last month over a dispute with the center's direction and finances.
Ranelli was a student at Wesleyan U. in Middletown, Conn., in 1964 when he joined a small group of theater artists, led by George C. White, to establish the O'Neill as a center for theater development.
Wide brief
The O'Neill subsequently became the home of summertime conferences for playwriting, music theater, critics and puppetry as well as the base for the National Theater Institute, an undergraduate program. The center also oversees the Monte Cristo Cottage, the boyhood home in New London, Conn., of playwright Eugene O'Neill.
Since its beginning, the center was run by White, with separate artistic directors for various programs.
White resigned in 1999 and was succeeded by Howard Sherman as executive director. Houghton, who runs Off Broadway's Signature Theater, was tapped to run the playwrights conference, succeeding Lloyd Richards, who had headed the program since 1968. Houghton was based in New York.
This past summer, Sherman resigned to pursue producing interests and this month became executive director of the American Theater Wing. Houghton quit when financing forced its just-hired executive director Amy Sullivan to fast-track long-term plans to have a single artistic director oversee all the center's artistic programs.
Management team
Ranelli, Sullivan, David B. Jaffe (head of the NTI) and board chairman Tom Viertel will focus on the overall operations of the center and on fund-raising.
The center has reduced its debt from $1.2 million to $700,000 over the last few years, but an unexpected $250,000 shortfall in its current operating budget created a financial crisis for the O'Neill this fall.
The O'Neill's financial fortunes caused the cutback of the playwright conference from four to three weeks and the closing of the Monte Cristo Cottage this summer.
"Both Amy and Tom feel, as I do, that the O'Neill center is perhaps the world's most distinguished research theater," Ranelli said, "and that a renewal of the collaborative spirit that shaped the center's various projects is an appropriate way to ensure its future."
Ranelli, 65, has directed for numerous regional and laboratory theaters including the Actors Studio; the Cleveland Playhouse; Baltimore's Center Stage; Long Wharf Theater; and Hartford Stage, where his 1980 production of "Einstein and the Polar Bear" later went to Broadway. He also staged "Herzl" on Broadway.
He has taught at Carnegie Mellon U., the Juilliard School, Stamford U. and Wesleyan, among others. He currently teaches at Connecticut College in New London and at Manhattanville College.
Ranelli lives with his wife, actress Jeanne Ruskin, in New York and Old Lyme, Conn.

Josee was beautiful to watch on the ice but I never had confidence that she would skate clean. She was just one of those skaters - like Sasha Cohen - that it was just a matter of time before she fell or doubled a triple or something to undermine what would otherwise be a great skate.
I do agree with pretty much everything said here about Eman. And without knowing too much about Mcleod, I think the guy needed some tough love for sure. If he really was using the excuse that he was still mad about a previous skate and judgement, then he need a swift kick in the posterior and a "come to Jesus" talk. All that talent and hardly ever when it counted. It's just like Jeremy Abbott. What does it take to get these guys to forget their heads and just concentrate on their skates!!
My son has a very good friend who is a sports psychologist and teaching pro in Northern California. I've had discussions with her many times about "the mind of a skater!" She said the most successful skaters are the ones that go out on the ice and somehow just get into a zone where they don't hear anything but their music and they don't think about anything except what comes next in their programs. She said you can almost see it in a skater's eyes when they take that first pose before the music starts and she used Patrick Chan and Jeremy Abbott as examples. Patrick goes out, strikes his pose, closes his eyes a few times and takes a deep breath and you just know. Jeremy has that "deer in the headlights" look and is almost twitching when he strikes his beginning pose. Then if he flubs his first quad.......wrap it up. It's over.
At Worlds 2003, there was a fire alarm and evacuation of a hotel in the middle of the night. Several skaters blamed bad results on that, AFAIR.
Emmanuel Sandhu! I remember him, but didn't really know that much about him, he was just a guy from Canada who never won much but was always around. Everybody has such fond or not-so-fond memories of him.
I remember some coach complaining that Emmanuel and Johnny weren't "real men" (or something like that) like the Brians were. I know exactly what he meant. Brian Boitano and Brian Orser were competitors, they weren't an inch away from a meltdown the way Johnny and Emmanuel always were.
Sandhu admitted to being bitter about 1998, in a profile of him at the 2006 Olympics he said so. I agree he needed some tough love. That's why I think he needed a coach like Frank Carroll, who tells his skaters to look to themselves and not to blame others for a bad performance. Someone to tell him to shape up or ship out.I do agree with pretty much everything said here about Eman. And without knowing too much about Mcleod, I think the guy needed some tough love for sure. If he really was using the excuse that he was still mad about a previous skate and judgement, then he need a swift kick in the posterior and a "come to Jesus" talk. All that talent and hardly ever when it counted. It's just like Jeremy Abbott. What does it take to get these guys to forget their heads and just concentrate on their skates!!
There is not a chance that Shizuka Arakawa would've won in Torino if Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya had skated clean programs. I know that, in Cohen's case, having 2 mistakes in the LP wasn't a huge departure from the norm. Still, her R & J program was so beautiful that if she'd done 6 clean triples (and not fallen), she'd probably have won. Ditto Slutskaya, whose program was way less artistic but was technically superior to Shizuka's.
Also, Sarah Hughes's win in Salt Lake almost proves there is a God somewhere. The stars totally aligned for her that night. I think that's the only way to explain her victory.
There's no mystery about how Sarah won.
1. She was kept in 4th place after the short because she was the defending bronze medalist from the Worlds. Evgeny fell and was kept in 4th because of his reputation at that Olympics. There was a pair team that fell and was also kept up there. They were just not going to put a potential medalist back in 8th place or whatever, which would have put them out of contention with that method of judging. Maybe it wasn't fair, but it was consistent.
2. She skated a long program clean with no falls and no step-outs and completed a couple of triple-triples to the satisfaction of the judges.
Today, would she have won? Probably not. Probably Michelle would be declared superior in the "skating skills" department and could have fallen multiple times and still won. But back then, that's how they did it and she had the best long program that night in that she did what she was supposed to.
IF ONLY Sasha landed her 3lutz-3toe............................................
Now, if you want support for the God doesn't exist/ He or She hates us all theory, let's consider that Michelle Kwan never won an OGM. Her performance in Nagano would've been good enough to win in 92, 94, 02, and 06. She might even have won in 98 if she'd skated later in her group than Lipinski. Instead we have Baiul, Hughes, and Arakawa as Olympic champs and Kwan sans gold. It's unfortunate.

Vanessa Hudgens (right) was once again nabbed for posting nudie picks online. This is becoming a biennial event for Hudgens, who got too randy with her digital camera in 2007 and 2009. But in Version 3.0, she has a partner-in-crime - "Zoey 101" starlet Alexa Nikolas, with whom Hudgens is caught locking lips.
Usually Hudgens comes out a couple of days after the fact with her "I'm, like, so super sorry to the fans that I have let them down by doing something I wouldn't be sorry about it they weren't aware of it." But Lady Tattle smells a setup. Consider this: Both Hudgens and Nikolas have movies coming out - "Suckerpunch" and "LOL," respectively - and both need to age in the minds of the American public.

The courtyard of the Crusader Fortress in Acco was the impressive venue for the Israel Opera Festival's performance of Don Giovanni this month. Shortly into the first act, Donna Anna rushes in to find her father murdered by her would-be seducer, the serial womaniser Don G.
But at that dramatic point the orchestra downed instruments, the performers fell silent and all was still except from some puzzled audience members. Across the courtyard came the unmistakable and unMozartean call to prayer from the neighbouring mosque. When the muezzin stopped five minutes later, the audience applauded and the opera resumed. Warning of the pause had been given in Hebrew before the start - but not in English.

Dr. Greg and Dr. Abby are the BEST! My son loves them and they take great care with the whole family!
Dr. Greg and staff are wonderful. We love them all. Our daughter has had multiple health problems over the last couple of years and they have taken very good care of her. Dr. Greg even tended to her when she was in the hospital for a couple of days. We have another one on the way and there is no doubt he will be a patient of the Blackmon's as well. They are a wonderful Christian based practice, and that is evident in everything they do, including their time spent in Haiti. Thanks for being so wonderful!
Dr Greg is an amazing doc! Hes wonderful with our kids and we wouldn't trust anyone else!
If this practice would actually listen to their patients, instead of lumping all of them into one category of "usually" and it is just "viral" or this is "common," they wouldn't loose so many of their patients and their reputation would not be so tarnished. My daughter was an individual with an individual issue. She was 9 months old and he wanted to put steroids onto her body to cover up a rash instead of finding out what it was. So lazy.
Blackmon peds is great, i trust Dr. Greg fully with my child's well being.

New Test captain Alastair Cook is one of three England players to have been named in the International Cricket Council's five-day team of the year.
Cook was yesterday confirmed as Andrew Strauss' successor after the former skipper opted to call time on his distinguished career.
England's new leader has been included in the ICC Test line-up for 2012 alongside team-mates Stuart Broad and Matt Prior.
ICC chief executive David Richardson said: "Those selected can be justifiably proud of their achievements and well deserving of the recognition they receive as great cricketers of their era.
"The quality of the Test cricket played over the course of the year has been exceptional and I did not envy the selectors in their task of selecting the best. Congratulations to those who have made it. They make a formidable team."
Lydia Greenway and Sarah Taylor are among four players nominated for the women's one-day international cricketer of the year gong, while the latter could win the T20 equivalent too.

Pennsylvania's laws and policies simply don't go far enough to protect children from the sort of abuse that allegedly took place at Penn State. That's why we're among the many advocates, experts, and organizations that have been calling for the creation of a state child protection and accountability task force to review and recommend changes in the way the state deals with child abuse.
We first urged Gov. Corbett and state legislators to form such a body in April, and we renewed the call before a state Senate committee in August. We envision a commission that brings representatives of the administration and the legislature together with experts to examine and make timely recommendations about the commonwealth's child protection efforts. The task force should consider such issues as:

First alpha version of GD Star Rating 2.0 is here, but it is not available for public, and it is released only to few internal developers because the plugin interface is till mostly missing, and it would be very complicated for users to actually test the plugin in this stage of development.
So far, plugin core is ready, and the goal now is to work on the user interface for next Alpha #2 that will be released to public during this month. Once the Alpha stage is done, plugin will go to final release soon after with maybe one Beta and 2-3 release candidate versions. I can't talk dates now, but once the Alpha #2 is released I will have precise release date for the plugin.
Current tests show that plugin needs only about 1.0 to 1.5 MB of memory (current 1.9.16 needs up to 5 MB), and it is very fast. CSS and JS files are very clean and simplified allowing great flexibility and CDN compatibility (current 1.9 branch wasn't CDN ready due to complex CSS file). Code is modular and will allow for great expanding possibilities starting with modules that will be built in (bbPress and BuddyPress), or commercial modules later.
During this month, I plan also to build new website and to retire old one under a subdomain installation for archive purposes. New website will be dedicated to 2.0 version only. So, stay tuned for more news and soon several screenshots. Great thing now is that plugin is nearing the release and this internal testing period will provide me with valuable information to make next Alpha a public release.

Position similar to doggy style. Differs in the position and height of legs of the male in relation to female pelvis. Namely, the male's thighs are above and slightly forward whilst the knees and calves are almost at ribcage level. This allows the male to lower the penis downwards at the maximum slope which makes it extremely tense.

Man was arrested in 2006 undercover operation
A Charleston drug dealer will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty of trafficking nearly 18 pounds of cocaine — enough to fill 8,600 tiny sugar packets.
Eric K. Ancrum, 36, was convicted Thursday following a 2 1/2-day trial. Authorities believe he was part of a drug ring that brought up to 40 pounds of cocaine into Charleston each week via a pipeline from Atlanta.
The 8 kilograms Ancrum was caught with was enough to keep a portion of the Charleston drug market fueled for more than a week, said Heidi Drake, a former Charleston County narcotics investigator. The cash value of the drug was estimated into the many hundreds of thousands of dollars, police said, depending on how much it was diluted. Ancrum was arrested in February 2006 at an apartment complex off Sam Rittenberg Boulevard in West Ashley, where undercover police had been watching people come and go.
Ninth Circuit Assistant Solicitor Nathan Williams said the apartment was in a girlfriend's name but that Ancrum used it as his cocaine business office.
Ancrum was convicted of several offenses, including trafficking cocaine and crack and possession with intent to distribute near a school. His defense team argued the cocaine wasn't his. They also contended a life sentence without the possibility of parole was cruel and unusual punishment.
The sentence imposed by Circuit Judge George James came, in part, because Ancrum has a history of drug convictions dating to the 1990s.

NFL coaches are known for asking bizarre questions of players at the league's annual scouting combine. CSN Philly caught up with Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple, who had a concerning exchange to share from February's event in Indianapolis.
"The Falcons coach, one of the coaches, was like, 'So, do you like men?' It was like the first thing he asked me. It was weird," Apple said. "I was just like, 'No.' He was like, 'If you're going to come to Atlanta, sometimes that's how it is around here, you're going to have to get used to it.' I guess he was joking, but they just ask most of these questions to see how you're going to react."
Falcons head coach Dan Quinn released a statement saying he was "disappointed" in the question about Apple's sexuality.
"This is not what the Atlanta Falcons are about, and it is not how we are going to conduct ourselves," he said.

After four nights of protest in El Cajon, California, a suburb of San Diego, over Tuesday's fatal police shooting of Ugandan-born Alfred Olango, authorities released two sources of footage of Olango's death on Friday. The graphic video is available for viewing here.
Neither clip was recorded by official police cameras and much of the footage is silent. One video was obtained from a surveillance camera at a nearby taco restaurant, and the other is cell phone footage filmed by a bystander from a nearly identical angle. The grainy clips make it difficult to decipher Olango's behavior before he was killed, though it is clear the police officer responsible — who was summoned to the scene by Olango's sister out of concern for her brother's frame of mind — fired the fatal shots within 40 seconds of encountering the unarmed, mentally unstable man.
The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave and no charges have been filed to date.
A new Los Angeles nightclub will admit only good-looking people. The club is being opened by BeautifulPeople.com, an elitist dating site, and will station beauty judges at the door to decide whether nonmembers and guests can enter, CBS Los Angeles reports. A site official said members were tired of going to clubs "hoping to meet similarly beautiful people, only to spend the night wishing that the lighting was lower."
The club is set to open in West Hollywood in early 2017, and its panel of judges will include models, celebrity trainers, and "Hollywood insiders and influencers."
But don't worry, you average-looking folks: The site director promises "rare exceptions will be made on the grounds of wealth."
Bon Iver's first album in five years dropped Friday, an offering Pitchfork reviewer Amanda Petrusich described as "an unexpected turn toward the strange and experimental." Titled 22, A Million, the album is the band's third full-length record and features 10 songs with symbol-heavy titles, like "715 - CRΣΣKS" and "21 M♢♢N WATER". The folksy guitar of Bon Iver's 2007 debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, is largely replaced with electronic sound effects on the new album, which makes for what NPR described as "surprising turns and richly contrasting elements."
So far, the reviews are largely positive. Consequence of Sound applauded the music's "vision and beauty" and called the album a "sturdy and unparalleled step of confidence," while The Independent dubbed the project an "astonishing record that grapples with the infinite." Some critics, however, thought Bon Iver's talent tended to get lost amid all the album's effects and experimentation. "All of this is an attempt to make it new; all of this creates intrigue but also distance between the singer and the listener that sometimes is too great to be overcome," The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber wrote.
Take a listen and decide for yourself — the full album is available for streaming on Spotify, below, or at Apple Music. Becca Stanek
The Commission on Presidential Debates announced Friday that there were "issues" with Donald Trump's microphone at Monday's debate. "Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump's audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall," the commission wrote, without offering any additional details.
Following Monday's event, Trump had complained about his microphone, and wondered whether it had perhaps been intentionally compromised. Hillary Clinton, in turn, had knocked Trump for his comments, joking the next day that "anyone who complains about the microphone is not having a good night."
Trump and Clinton will meet again on Oct. 9, for the second presidential debate, which will be a town-hall style event. Kimberly Alters
Hillary Clinton has maintained her lead over Donald Trump in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, released Friday. In the poll's first iteration since the two candidates debated for the first time Monday, Clinton leads Trump 43 percent to 38 percent in a head-to-head race. When third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are factored in, Clinton's lead shrinks by a point, 42 percent to 38 percent.
Clinton's lead in the Reuters poll has held fairly steady all month, though it is slightly higher than the RealClearPolitics average, which shows Clinton's lead at 2.9 percent in a two-way race. Both candidates did get a bump in approval ratings, however, as 48 percent of respondents said they held a favorable view of Clinton, up from 45 percent last week. For Trump, 46 percent saw him favorably, up from 44 percent.
The Reuters poll was conducted online from Sept. 23-29 in all 50 states; there were 2,501 respondents, all considered likely voters, and there is a margin of error of 2 points. Kimberly Alters
Anyone who has ever waited hours for an appointment at the Apple store will probably get a cathartic pleasure out of watching this man attack iPhones with an iron ball at a mall in Dijon, France:

The anti-iPhone crusader shouts that Apple "violated my rights and refused to refund me in accordance to the European consumer protection law," BuzzFeed reports. "I warned them, I told them 'give me my money back,' but they said no. So what happens then? This is what happens." The man was promptly arrested by mall security.
The video of the Thursday incident has gotten a lot of traction in France, already prompting a parody by a French comedy troupe: "In their version, a man goes into an iron ball store and tries to smash them with his phone," BuzzFeed writes.

Hillary Clinton wants to know why she isn't '50 points ahead.' Donald Trump's new ad offers some reasons.
Hillary Clinton wanted an answer, and she got it in Donald Trump's latest campaign ad. The Republican presidential candidate's new ad, titled "Why?", starts off with a clip of Clinton's video speech last week in which she asked: "Why aren't I 50 points ahead?"
While Clinton might be stumped as to why her lead isn't ballooning, Trump, it turns out, is not. Watch the Trump campaign's response, below. Becca Stanek

Boy, it seems like 'ol Motto has been kicking butt and taking names lately with their newest phones. The new RAZR certainly sounds like it could be part of this proud tradition. Yet, I have yet to see a picture of it as of this writing.
Motorola RAZR Black Brings Hollywood Chic to the Handset Line-Up at Cingular Wireless
Latest MOTO �must have� goes from red carpet to Main Street
Libertyville, IL and Atlanta �30th June 2005 � Motorola a global leader in wireless communications, and Cingular Wireless, the largest wireless carrier in the U.S., are once again raising the bar for mobile style � this time with a handset known as the Motorola RAZR Black � the �must have� sequel to the Motorola RAZR.
The Motorola RAZR Black debuted as an exclusive gift to Hollywood luminaries during the 77th Annual Academy Awards�. All directing and acting nominees, including Hilary Swank, Cate Blanchett, Jamie Foxx and Clint Eastwood, received the super-sleek handset in anticipation to the big event.
With a VGA camera, the Motorola RAZR Black leverages Cingular�s MEdia services like Picture Messaging and Cingular Sounds, enabling users to conveniently share pictures taken with the phone and easily download music�. Cingular subscribers can take advantage of these MEdia services and save money by signing up for a MEdia bundle � a cost effective monthly package which includes Text, Instant and Picture Messaging as well as MEdia Net.
�Motorola RAZR Black is an exciting sequel to the original. Taking design cues from the wildly popular and revolutionary Motorola RAZR, the jet-black version introduces a new and sophisticated flare,� said Jim Wicks, vice president of consumer experience design at Motorola, Inc. [Read the rest]

This September marked the fifth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers -- an event causing thousands to lose their jobs.
In addition to the anniversary of the meltdown, September has been met with Citigroup (NYSE: C ) announcing it would be laying off 1,000 employees in its mortgage division, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) confirming it would be cutting 2,100 jobs in its mortgage unit, and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) adding 1,800 job cuts to the 2,300 it announced in August.
All of these cuts were attributable to the projected slowdown in mortgage originations, particularly those used to refinance homes as rates rise.
The number of jobs in the financial sector grew by 20% from 1996 to 2006, compared to just 12% growth of total jobs in the U.S. as the economy boomed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2007 projected that we would see 9.6 million people employed in the financial activities sector by 2016. Yet as we have watched the market collapse around us, they now project there to only be 8.4 million jobs in the financial sector by 2020, an almost identical number to what we had in 2006.
The dramatic rise and fall of those employed in the financial sector is seen below:
While the financial sector has recovered from the employment lows seen in 2011, it still remains below the employment in 2003. This is radically different from the picture of the U.S. economy:
Surprisingly, while the broader financial sector is below its 2003 employment, the same isn't true of those employed in real estate:
As a matter of fact, the hardest-hit group is savings institutions, where employment has fallen by more than 25% over the past 10 years:
The five largest banks by employees in the U.S. as of the most recent quarter are broken out as follows:
Wells Fargo
Bank of America
JPMorgan Chase
U.S. Bancorp* (NYSE: USB )
The biggest banks haven't been immune to this trend, and while it isn't quite fair to compare their employment since 2003, or even post-Lehman as a result of the acquisitions, we can see how their employment has changed since the end of 2009:
Certainly in all of this we see the financial sector is improving from the depths of 2010 and 2011, but in all of this, there is still a long way to go before we can truly consider it a recovery.
Less employees, more profitable?

Blogs Liberty and Power Four Links on IraqOct 15, 2005 11:54 pm
Four Links on Iraq
Earlier this year the new Nobel laureate for literature Harold Pinter asked what the First World War poet Wilfred Owen would make of the invasion of Iraq. "I believe Wilfred Owen would share our contempt, our revulsion, our nausea and our shame at both the language and the actions of the American and British governments."
Pinter continues, "You may say at this point: what about the Iraqi elections? Well, President Bush himself answered this question when he said:"We cannot accept that there can be free democratic elections in a country under foreign military occupation". I had to read that statement twice before I realised that he was talking about Lebanon and Syria."
British journalist Patrick Cockburn exposes the monumental series of blunders that plunged Iraq into chaos—and explains why the conflict will be longer, bloodier and more profound in its consequences even than Vietnam. Go here to read his essay. He concludes, "[I]f there is no withdrawal then the war will escalate. The occupation exacerbates a crisis it purports to cure. Mr Blair says British and American troops will stay until the job is done, but their very presence means Iraq will never be at peace." Remember this next time anyone tells you that the U.S. must stay the course.
Phillip Knightley, author of the best-selling book The First Casualty: The War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-Maker from the Crimea to Iraq (3rd ed., Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004) reviews journalist Robert Fisk's new book, The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East (London: Fourth Estate, 2005; New York: Knopf, 2005). Knightley writes, "He [Fisk] continues to fulfill this duty with passion and anger. As he admits, his work, especially in this powerfully-written book, is filled with accounts of horror, pain and injustice. His triumph is that he has turned a slightly dubious and over-romanticised craft into a honorable vocation."
And, finally, a story from Thursday's Washington Post that has crossed the Atlantic and made it into the London press. Baroness Thatcher (that's Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady) has, it seems, revealed her doubts over the basis for the Iraq war.

FAIRFAX, Va. - With the forecast calling for rainstorms over this weekend, some heavy at times, now is a good time to remember that many times, spring rainstorms have the ability to flood basements and other low-lying structures.
In fact, according to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), just 1-inch of flood water in your home could cost you $7,800 out of your own pocket to clean up after the waters subside. With consumers closely guarding their wallets now more than ever, going without flood insurance could be financially devastating.
Since most homeowners, condo and renters insurance policies do not cover flood damage, it's important that consumers consider their need for flood coverage.
Floods are the most common and most costly natural disaster. In fact, 90 percent of all natural disasters in the United States involve flooding, causing more than $2 billion of property damage each year. According to the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA), a person's home has a 26 percent change of being damaged by a flood during the course of a 30-year mortgage, compared to a 9 percent chance of being damaged by fire.
Dave Prendergast, Allstate's Field Vice President for the Capital Region (Md., Va., WV, Del. and D.C.) says people need to ask themselves if they could afford to go without flood insurance, especially when floods are so common.
"Purchased separately from your homeowners, renters or condo policies, a flood policy is part of the insurance protection for your property," Prendergast said.
Flood insurance is mandatory for anyone in an area designated as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). However, property owners outside these zones should still consider flood insurance.
FEMA says that roughly 25 percent of all claims paid by the NFIP are for policies in low- to moderate-risk communities. "Everyone lives in a flood zone - anywhere it rains, it can flood," Prendergast said. "It is a misconception that flooding only occurs as a result of hurricanes or coastal areas. Flooding occurs throughout the United States and can be a result of thunderstorms or sudden thaw."
Floods and flash floods happen in all 50 states. Just because customers haven't experienced a flood in the past, doesn't mean they won't in the future.
Many conditions can result in a flood: hurricanes, broken levees, outdated or clogged drainage systems and rapid accumulation of rainfall. New land development can also increase flood risk; especially if the construction changes natural runoff paths. Floods often happen when bodies of water overflow or tides rise due to heavy rainfall or thawing snow. Flash floods may occur without warning when a large volume of water falls in a short time.
Get covered. The NFIP provides flood insurance throughout the country, and claims are paid by the NFIP. Policies are sold and managed by private insurance companies like Allstate. Homeowners can request flood insurance through their local Allstate agent. According to FEMA, the average premium for an NFIP flood insurance policy is $400 per year - or $1.37 per day - for approximately $100,000 worth of building coverage. The maximum coverage amounts are $250,000 for a single-family home and $100,000 for its contents.
In general, a policy does not take effect until 30 days after you purchase flood insurance. So, if the weather forecast announces a flood alert for your area and you go to purchase coverage, it's already too late. You will not be insured if you buy a policy a few days before a flood.
Additional information on what you can do to prepare for hurricanes and floods can be found in the Catastrophe Information Center at www.allstate.com. For additional information on the National Flood Insurance Program, visit www.fema.gov.

Most designers will be all too familiar with the communication issues that can arise between the creative and development teams in an online design environment. Fundamentally the characters involved in each department are polar opposites. Priorities will differ and a happy medium needs to be struck between the two parties if the best result is going to be achieved.
The debate between these teams rarely stops here at Zeta. We work through our individual desires together for each project and by listening to one another (with the occasional raised voice) we achieve results that we can all be proud of.
However, workflow can sometimes dictate that we need to outsource development to one of the many extremely talented teams that Zeta occasionally work with externally.
Getting your design vision across when elements cannot be discussed in real-time and face to face can be tricky, so here are a few of the techniques we use to help communicate our work in order to minimise project time scales and deliver outstanding results on budget.
1. Layer Comps
Photoshop layer composites are all too often neglected by designers. Developers should not have to manually turn layers on and off to find different elements or pages in your design. By learning to use layer comps correctly you can be sure that your work is being viewed in the way you intended. It will also cut down the weight of your psd. You do not need to duplicate layers when they have different styles or positions. Layers comps will do all of this for you. There are also scripts attached to these layer comps (accessible via the file menu) which will automate saving the different stages of your design in one easy click.http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/photoshop/articles/phscs2mrlaycomp.html
2. Photoshop Animation
When designing motion elements (flash/javascript etc) it's useful for both the designer and developer to animate the interaction roughly. It can give you a much better idea of the user flow and conveying movement in words only is asking for trouble, even basic movement is better than a static storyboards and descriptions. I'd advise you to create a separate psd for your animation file though because merging and rasterising multiple layers can become useful when animating.
3. Design Elements psd
Separate your websites interactive elements into one psd. One file with your buttons states will save a lot of time later in the project. Think about disabled button states, default, rollover and visited styles. The more information you get across at this stage the happier you'll be with the results.
4. Collaboration Suites
Being able to annotate your work and explain design elements to developers is crucial. Remember as well that's it's a two way street, you shouldn't just be telling people what to do. Any creative process is improved when all the parties involved feel their opinion is valid and if you can't have that conversation in real-time somewhere to have a creative conversation is vital. There are several creative collaboration suites to choose from. Here at Zeta we use Concept Share. I can highly recommend it.
5. Screen casting
Ever taken instructions off someone and wished you could listen to what they said just one more time? Notes from phone conversations never cut it, so screen cast your thoughts and send a video. Your developer can take it one point at a time or go back and clarify points as and when they chose. You don't get inundated with questions and the developer knows exactly what they are doing, everybody's happy.
Communication is key in any creative environment and in my experience these are definitely some of the best ways to work smarter rather than harder when overseas development is necessary.

Ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick says he and his family have moved into a "bigger" house in the Dallas area, but that it is not much more expensive than their previous home.
Kilpatrick said Sunday in an e-mailed letter that their new rented home is about two blocks from the one in which they had been living. It was unclear in the letter if Kilpatrick's rental payments are higher.
Kilpatrick also said parole officials in Texas were involved in his family's move and have visited the home.
The Detroit News has reported their current home was appraised at $338,400.
Kilpatrick still owes the city of Detroit more than $800,000 in restitution from a 2008 plea in a criminal case. The News said Kilpatrick pays $160 per month in restitution.

Its time. Finally.
The ridiculousness that is the Super Bowl has passed.
We dont have to worry about whether or not anybody actually played during the halftime show or why Peyton Manning and the Broncos came unglued from the games first play.
We dont have to worry about the weather not yet anyway since everybody is in Florida and Arizona.
We dont have to worry about snow and ice, and blizzards, and why the City of Atlanta didnt call off school before the ice storm hit almost exactly 14 years after the citys last ice storm hit in 2000, which was coincidentally three days before the Super Bowl that turned into a nightmare worthy of an Arnold Scharzeneggar Mr. Freeze performance.
We dont have to worry about the dangers of falling ice off the Ravenel Bridge.
Or frozen pipes.
Four words make this all better: Pitchers and catchers report.
Hearing those four words are like a sigh of relief. I can feel the weight of the world slipping off my shoulders.
Yes, we are still in the throes of basketball season.
College hoops have their March Madness that doesnt end until April Anarchy before Easter. The NBA will be playing through July.
And hockey?
Except for the games played outside, who cares about hockey?
You cant play hockey when you have no ice and we live in the South where there is no
Okay, scratch that, the South did have ice last week, but you cant play hockey where you have palm trees. Anaheim and Los Angeles, the Ducks and Kings, played a hockey game at Dodger Stadium. There are palm trees there. That doesnt work. Just like hockey doesnt work in the desert in places like Phoenix.
I hear the Stingrays are considering playing an outdoor game at Joe Riley Park.
That would be cool if it wasnt 75 degrees outside.
But its middle February and a young mans thoughts turn not to love but baseball. The grass is turning green. The baselines are marked and that brilliant orange infield dirt has been smoothed over.
There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than a freshly cut, dragged and lined baseball field.
The dramas of the off-season are cast aside.
A-Rod is gone.
The Yankees may have signed every free agent available to seven-and-eight year contracts but they will still not advance beyond the first round of the playoffs next fall.
Will the Red Sox do the beards thing again?
And what about the Cubs?
Will they be that bad again?
And whatever happened to Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton? Are either of them still playing?
Well find out the answer to all these in the next few weeks as its time to play baseball.
Spring is drawing near, which means warm weather again.
I drove by Berkeley High School last night and I saw the field lights on at Bradley Field.
It reminded me of Field of Dreams.
And I just had to detour around the school to catch a look.
Seeing the guys on the field washed away all the angst and pent-up aggression that has been festering since I bailed on my New Years Resolutions about 10 days into January.
Yes, its time.
I slept like a baby last night.
