OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma is relying on private prisons to house the growing number of people locked up each year, causing some legislators to take another look at the financial repercussions.
Twice as many Oklahoma prisoners were released on parole last year compared to 1999, but the state's inmate population continues to grow.
Taxpayers footed the $94 million bill for six medium-security private prisons that housed Oklahoma inmates during the last fiscal year. This year, the Corrections Department is asking legislators for $35 million to pay private prisons and inmate medical bills.
The department's request is expected to be a hot topic during this legislative session.
Sen. Cal Hobson, D-Lexington, said the state's dependence on private prisons is underscoring fundamental problems in the prison system.
"It's one of our two or three most difficult issues this legislative session," he said.
Other critics claim the Corrections Department processes pending paroles too slowly, forcing inmates to remain locked up longer than necessary.
Gov. Frank Keating has pushed for private prisons in the past and is expected to talk about the issue during his State of the State speech Monday.
"Obviously, there's always room for discussion about ways to improve the whole corrections system, whether it's public or private," said John Cox, the governor's press secretary. "But private prisons have proven nationwide to be a success, and the governor is certainly interested in continuing to utilize them."
Oklahoma inmates are living in several private prisons, including the Central Oklahoma Correctional Facility in McLoud, the Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing, the Davis Correctional Facility in Holdenville, the Diamondback Correctional Facility in Watonga, the Great Plains Correctional Facility in Hinton and the Lawton Correctional Facility.
The six prisons are housing more than 6,000 inmates, 27 percent of Oklahoma's total prison population of 22,400.
Five years ago, private prisons housed about 1,200 inmates.
Since 1995, the state's inmate population has climbed 35 percent. With the state's public prisons at capacity, the private prison population is up 5.4 percent, or more than 300 inmates, over last fiscal year.

Remember to exit FSC, CLM, CFP and ARR today as tomorrow is EX on these. What a run. Speaking of which, I have to run. Someone else determine the gains this month on GLAD/3%.
I think it will make all of those trading, well....glad....;-)
Your right Doc, it made me glad, I believe the question a lot of people ask is ( is it worth it figuring out the glad system as opposed to just buying and holding for the divy) Here are my April results with commissions figured in to compare to the dividend. Everybody will have to make up their own mind but I will continue with the glad system.
ARR bt 6.21 sld 6.42 +21 divy .07
CLM bt 6.88 sld 7.31 +43 .1022
CFP bt 5.72 sld 6.20 +48 .0854
FSC bt10.81 sld 11.05 +24 .0958
Total return +1.36 Total div +.3534
MAIN not glad met
PSEC will buy on APRIL 12 if glad met
Bow - I wasn't quite as successful as you were this month...I was a little timid on exits...but, my anualized ROI is 30.7%! I'll take that for my first month in the system!
sold CLm and ARR for $780 gain. Not much but good enough :)
Cobra ,,
Don't knock it , I am holding 800.00 LOSS on Arr and Psec another 600.00 , I had to hold these through the div the last time and im stuck again or take the loss and try to get in lower after the x . I tried aveaging on Arr 6.84, 6.66 and 6.36 , as you can see im screwed .
Just sold FSC for 21 cent gain and bought RSO on itsSPO. That beats FSC 9 1/2 cent divy. Good luck to all longs and even walrus and bozo :)
Today is a profit taking day on almost everything - even KMP
My results were similar to Bow's, but a little less because I was late to the party with CFP and CLM. I tried both shares and calls with ARR and found the ROI 0.005 better with shares.
I followed UAN down and am at BE of 24.89. Looking for 25.50 plus before X-1 (about May 3). A potential exit point is the end of next week.

Estreitement bende: Marie de France's Guigemar and the erotics of tight dress
This article examines the change in women's fashion that occurred during the 12th century. Garments went from loose and flowing to tightly fitted, featuring belts and laces. The author examines this cultural change through the romance stories complied in the "Lais" of Marie de France, specifically one featuring the character of Guigemar.
How to pleat a shirt in the 15th century
Based on the shirt fragments from the 15th century found at Lengberg Castle in East-Tyrol this paper describes the methods with which these shirts have been pleated, what type of stiches have been used for sewing and how the trimming strips were fashioned. Seventeen textile fragments could be identified as parts of shirts, fourteen of which feature either partially or totally pleated areas. Two sleeves with textile buttons and button holes, two sleeves with button holes, one sleeve with a textile button, one neckline and five fragments being either sleeve or collar are pleated on their entire width. One shirt each is pleated partially on the front, one of them with a preserved textile button. One sleeveless shirt is pleated at the shoulder.

My daughter had OHS on October 4th in Boston (we live in NJ, so about 4 hours away). My son (he's 2 years older and is in 1st grade) and my daughter are EXTREMELY close, so there was really no question whether or not we were going to bring him with us. He would have been a mess if we left him home, and she would have been as well. In addition, we really did not have anyone who we could have left him with, so it was really not possible to leave him in NJ.
I informed his teacher and the school nurse of the situation and kept the nurse up to date as to what was going on. His teacher gave him work to take with us (which he completed and handed in the day he returned). She gave him a huge amount of work that took him 4 hours to complete that first day back, and he handed it in the next day.
Because she wound up getting a post surgical infection, we wound up being there for 10 days. As a result, my son missed 10 days of school. I sent in a note that the cardiologist's office had written saying that he had been absent because his 5 year old sister was inpatient for cardiac surgery at BCH from October 4 - 14th and that he needed to accompany us there.
I received a letter from the school yesterday saying that his absences are considered "family business", and are therefore unexcused. However, due to "compelling circumstances" the school has decided not to take administrative action. They didn't say what the administrative action would be, but they did state that they take action at 10, 15, and 20 accumulated countable absenses. I am so beyond upset by this because I didn't really have much choice here. This was not a fun vacation we were taking. Has anyone else had to deal with something similar?
Thanks, and sorry it was so long!!

A Letter to My Dog
In a New Book, Celebrities Pour Their Hearts Out to the Furry Best Friends Who Brighten Their Lives
"Thanks for letting me put those stupid bandanas around your neck. I know you don't agree, but it really adds to your personality. Thank you for not taking shadoobies on the floor. And thank you for not being a cat. You were my dog the minute I laid eyes on you. Thank you for making me a mommy. You will always be my main man."
Oprah Winfrey & Luke, 7, a golden retriever
"When all the others are out busy sniffing for adventure, you're the one who returns repeatedly to the trail to see if I'm OK and following your lead, the one waiting on the porch for my return from places too far off for a dog mind to ponder. You're always in the now, always present. Always love. You're my alpha."
Fran Drescher & Esther, 11, a Pomeranian
"You are a light from God. An angel. You don't have a mean bone in your body. I am blessed to have you in my life. You taught me a great life lesson: that you can love, lose and love again! Thank you for that, my darling girl-you are a magical creature, and I witness you as you cast your loving spell on all who cross your path. I love you, Esther. Don't ever leave me."
Robin Roberts & KJ, 14, a Jack Russell terrier
"Can't imagine my life without you and I don't wanna! You helped me ... laying your sweet head on whatever was hurting me. How did you know? I love you!"
Kelly Preston & Bear, 3, a rescue dog
"You found me when I needed you most. I looked in your eyes and felt I'd known you before. I feel I know who helped guide you to us.... Your sweetness helped heal my heart. Some say we rescued you.... I think it was the other way around."
Willow Smith & Abby, 1, a Yorkshire terrier
"Dear Abby, I love you so much; you're so sweet and friendly! I just don't like it when you pee everywhere!! :)
I love you!

According to a 2004 national survey by AARP and the The National Alliance for Caregiving, nearly 23 million households are currently home to a caregiver, most often a woman who is taking care of someone 50 or older. Some 43 percent of these caregivers are over 50 themselves-13 percent are over 65-and they spend good chunks of their weeks on a heady range of chores, from medication management and bathing to feeding, clothing, and arranging health care services.
Additionally, more than 44 million Americans are involved in caring for an aging relative or friend, and about 29 million of them are employed. Among baby boomers, 35 percent say they are, or have been, responsible for their parents' care. With the 85-plus population growing at the fastest rate, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2008, 54 percent of the work force will be involved in caring for an older person-including making doctors' appointments, calling around to find out about care facilities or handling emergency situations. "Eighty percent of the long-term care in the country is done by friends and family; we are the care system," says Suzanne Mintz, president and cofounder of the National Family Caregivers Association.

Who's responsible for this bump in my bumper?

The Travel Troubleshooter: Whose car rental bill is this, please?
Answer: National's efforts to collect damages from customers who damage its cars is completely legal. Coming after you, however, is another question.

The Travel Troubleshooter: A dropped car rental claim that returned
Question: I rented a car from National for a family trip to Houston. The rental was uneventful. But a month later, I received a letter saying that the car had been returned with about $2,000 worth of damage, which included needing to replace a front bumper and a headlight.
I'm certain this damage didn't happen while I was renting the car. My wife and three kids were with me. We were getting in and out of all the doors repeatedly. We would have noticed any damage. When I returned the car, the agent did a quick walk-around, and the car was fine.
I followed up by calling the claim representative at National. She checked, and in a follow-up call told me that she was recommending closing the claim. Then I got a phone call from National saying that they had figured out what happened, and it wasn't my fault, and they were closing the claim. So it all seemed fine until another month went by, and I got a letter saying that they had decided to pursue the claim after all.
I'm insured, and the loss is covered, but I'd rather use my insurance for when I actually have an accident! I'd always assumed that when you've returned a car and they have signed off and handed you a bill, then you aren't responsible for the vehicle any longer. Apparently that's not true.
My insurance company is contesting the claim, but they also say that the only real protection against a rental car company making this kind of claim is to take 8 to 10 time-stamped pictures of the car from different angles every time you return a rental car. This seems crazy to me. But is it something we should all start doing? — Timothy Taylor, Minneapolis
Answer: Yes. Take pictures of your car before and after your rental and keep them at least six months. The systems used to determine who damaged a rental are far from perfect. At least one company, Hertz, has pledged to begin photographing all of its cars before they leave the lot. The rest have less scientific ways of determining who is responsible for the dings, dents and scratches. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they try to guess who might have done it.

Enterprise's Van Horn: Vehicle damage recovery is "not a profit center"
Roger Van Horn is the vice president for corporate loss control at Enterprise Holdings, which owns Enterprise, National and Alamo. Since I've received a lot of recent questions about car rental damage claims — many from Enterprise customers — I wanted to ask him a few questions about what happens when a car is dinged or scratched.
How is the rental process supposed to work, in terms of inspecting a vehicle for pre-existing damages?
We conduct a pre-rental vehicle inspection, which includes cleaning, refueling, necessary maintenance and damage review, for all of our brands. Our Enterprise Rent-A-Car service model involves employee interaction with every customer during the vehicle selection process. This allows us to make a physical inspection with our customer – before a rental car is driven off the lot.
Our Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental service models don't involve employee interaction unless questions arise, so cars are not inspected in the presence of customers at the commencement of the rental. Because accidents are an unfortunate fact of life, some of our Alamo and National customers do personally inspect rental cars for additional peace of mind and to provide them a clear understanding of the overall condition of the vehicle from the start of the rental period.
Regardless of brand, it is our normal practice to inspect the vehicle upon return with the customer present.

National "blacklists" customer after credit card dispute
When Matt Ginsberg found an undisclosed dropoff fee on his National rental car bill a few years ago, he disputed the charge on his credit card. It worked. His credit card company sided with him. Case closed. Or was it?
About a year and a half later, I walked up to a National counter to pick up a car I had reserved through an online travel agency. I was told that I had been blacklisted and that National wouldn't rent to me any more.
This was quite a problem — I was in St. Louis for a business meeting and needed to get to it. I wound up renting from Hertz at a much higher rate. This happened to me again when I tried to rent from Alamo, since National and Alamo have apparently merged.
Blacklisting is not an uncommon practice in the travel industry. I've documented National's tendency to do it in the past. Airlines do it, too.
How do you get off the list? The best way is to ask. Nicely.
That's what I suggested to Ginsberg. So he phoned National.
I just called National customer service and was told that on the basis of my driver's license, I'm still blacklisted.
They said there was no reason in the record, but I don't think it could be anything else (I have a clean driving record, etc.).
They said that my record included a phone number to call.
Ginsberg tried the number.
I waited on hold for an hour. A representative said that National had moved its headquarters in 2004 (when the original chargeback happened) and that meant that they would let me off.
Totally different from the last time I tried to sort this out with them but hey, it's fixed. Thanks for your help!
National, and any of the other companies with similar blacklists, are well within their rights to refuse to do business with whomever they choose, of course.
But at a time like this, why would they?
We're out of cars — and you're out of luck
Question: What's a car rental company's responsibility to have a vehicle available for you when it sends you a confirmation? I ask because we recently rented a car from National Car Rental in Mexico, and they ran out of cars.
When we arrived at the rental counter in Guadalajara, a representative told us that other renters did not return their cars on time. He said there would be no cars for several days and would not help us find another car.
We eventually got a rental from another company, but it took us an additional five hours, and we were very upset by the experience. Although our first email to National was acknowledged with a form response, we haven't heard anything from the company in two months. I thought rental companies had to either honor their reservation or find a car from another rental company. Isn't that what National should have done? — David Nicholson, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Answer: National should have found you another car — even if it was from a competitor. That's the policy of most major rental companies, including National. The Guadalajara office goofed.
Why do car rental companies confirm reservations when there's a chance they won't have a car? One reason is that customers can cancel their reservation without penalty, or just not show up at all. In fact, as many as a third of the people with reservations are no-shows at some rental locations, according to informal estimates I've heard. (It's usually between 15 and 25 percent.)
That means car rental companies have to factor in the possibility that lots of the people who reserve a car won't show up when they're managing their fleet. And that can be a real guessing game.
You checked in on a day when National guessed wrong. It had run out of cars. The rental employee must have known National's policy, but instead chose to let you fend for yourself in a foreign country. Something tells me he won't be getting his Christmas card from the Mexico Tourism Board this year.
You shouldn't have taken a frontline employee's "no" for an answer. Instead, you should have asked for a manager, and if one wasn't available, you should have called National's reservation number to report this. National could have helped you find another car quickly.
Car rental employees often treat foreign tourists differently from natives, and this seems to be a case-in-point. It could have been worse. I've heard horror stories of out-of-country visitors being forced to buy unnecessary insurance or talked into expensive upgrades. My best advice would be to be on your guard when you rent overseas. The moment you open your passport, you become a walking dollar sign.
I contacted National on your behalf, and it refunded you $685, the cost of your car rental in Mexico, and sent you a coupon for three rental days as an apology.

Well, kids are mostly back at school (though there are some lucky ones who don't go back until after Labor Day), vacations have been had, and the entire country is beginning to cool down.
I guess that means football season, tall boots and sweaters, autumn leaves, and fire pits are upon us. It also means my outdoor cycling days are numbered, which totally stinks…no matter how much I love winter (and I mean, LOVE).
But it's still 80 degrees in Chicago so all of that can wait…at least for a few more weeks.
What are you looking forward to for the remainder of the year?
While you ponder that question, I'll give you Gin and Topics.
5. Dog Shaming. If you haven't yet seen this, it is one of the most creative things I've ever seen using animals. It's one of those "I wish I'd thought of that" things. It's a blog that allows you to submit photos of your dog doing naughty things, in order to publicly shame them. Don't you worry. Jack Bauer will be featured soon. We already have three different ideas to shame him.
4. Leaked iPhone 5 Commercial. Holy crap this is funny! It's not really the leaked iPhone 5 commercial. Instead it's a parody of how we use our phones to take pictures of our food. Even Siri makes an appearance. Thanks to John Trader for sending it along!
3. Steve Kardynal's Sexy and He Knows It. OK. This is the same guy from Chatroulette (see here if you missed it last week) and I think I might be in love. I don't know which is more funny – him or the random people who don't know what to think of him. Jason Konopinski sent this to me. I think he's in love with him, too. As well he should be…dude is hilarious!
2. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. You know anything with Jerry Seinfeld is going to be good, but I think it's more funny to see them laughing at themselves than the actual act of driving to get coffee. Thanks to Kat Krieger for the find!
1. Gorilla Brothers Reunited. You may not love monkeys as much as I do, but this is my series so you have to put up with them. I LOVE MONKEYS! And Jenn DeVitt knew I would love this. Two gorilla brothers are reunited after three years apart. Watch the full slideshow to really get it. You'll fall in love. Trust me.

Hooray I got mentioned! My week is ending on such a great note! For the comedians in cars, the Alex Baldwin episode is a must see.
I am off to find my hammock upstate. Thank you and good night. 🙂
@katskrieger Alec Baldwin!!! I'm Googling that right now.
@Mr.D Let me know what you think. I'm a huge Alec fan. It was the first one I saw actually and I sent it over to Gini right away.
@katskrieger @Mr.D This conversation scares me.
@katskrieger It was hysterical.
Here's the link for those interested:
@ginidietrich @katskrieger Alec Baldwin should never scare you.
I couldn't get the Gorilla post to open on HuffPo, but I found this one.
Too cute.
@katskrieger The video was broken, but the slideshow still works.
I love Venice. You never know what is going to happen or who you are going to see.
@TheJackB I wish I had the balls to do something like that. It's awesome!
@ginidietrich @TheJackB <no comment>
LOVE the Comedians in Cars! Thanks.
@KevinVandever My pleasure. Feel better now, after being left out yesterday?
@ginidietrich Yes, the laughs helped. Still a little stung about that, but time and more comedy will heal the wounds.
Seriously. @Stevekaryndal kills me. Kills. Me.
@jasonkonopinski ME. TOO. I seriously might be in love.
I love Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee! The episodes with Larry David and Ricky Gervais are especially funny.
And that dog shaming reminds me of an SNL skit "Dissing Your Dog" with Will Ferrell. http://youtu.be/1u2SYb2pgB4
@Anthony_Rodriguez I'll have to find the one with Ricky Gervais!
[…] . . . moving on . . . what's happening over at SpinSucks? "Dog Shaming and Sexy Guy on Rollerblades". Ahh. . . yeah . . . not really my […]
OMG! I was literally LOLing all over that Comedian's thing. Gerry has not lost any ground. The man gets funnier and funnier.
I wonder if the IPhone comes with filters……
@rdopping I think the iPhone with Siri helping your photos is a pretty cool addition. 🙂
@ginidietrich sorry pal! I am a Samsung kinda guy. Sue me, if you don't like it…….;-)
[…] Gin and Topics, though, his are serious and very […]
Great Post. 🙂

Historical Traveler Reviews myhotel Bloomsbury London
Was treated like a princess!!!
I stayed in myhotel Bloomsbury for a weekend trip with my boyfriend. From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were treated like royalty. All the staff were naturally friendly and made us feel like we were the most important people booking into the hotel.
There seemed to be an ease with which everything was done and nothing was made seem like a hassle. As Roman Catholics we were both interested in the closest church for Sunday service and the staff were more than willing to provide all the options for us and to give us a wake up call to ensure we made it!
The breakfast was just delicious and substantial and had many options to suit the both of us. We particularly enjoyed the range of smoothies and cheeses!
The setting of the hotel was just exquisite and the internal decor so modern and spotless. The library was most relaxing and allowed us to read upo on all the popular sites in London over a well needed cup of tea!
We both had booked in for massages within the hotel on the Saturday, which we both agree were devine and set us up nicely for the tough day ahead. The lady was very friendly and calming and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable.
I will finish by saying a huge thank you to the staff and management of myhotel Bloomsbury for their hard work and mannerisms. We both had an excellent time and will definitely be returning to London to stay nowhere else but the myhotel Bloomsbury.
Hip & minimailist
I have pretty high standards about hotels....Can't stand looking at fussy curtains, patterened carpeting, Poly bedspreads, heavy faux "antique" furniture...These rooms are clean & minimal, Ikea-esque in a good way. Aveda bath stuff, coffemaker, fresh smelling down comforters.....Small, absolutely...but like NYC, that's London in this medium price-range. Adequate gym, on-site facial/massage service, and great location near Soho/covent gardens & a major subway line.
Great bar and lounge, bit noisy and very small rooms
I go to London twice a year for the past 16 years. My most recent stay was in the Myhotel. I usually travel by car. There is a large public car park nearby (20 pounds a day). The bar is great and the lounge/library in the basement is very relaxing and quiet. Nice sushi restaurant next door. The first room we checked in to was very small.
The smallest I've stayed in in London. Couldn't close the bathroom door whilst seated on the toilet. OUCH! And there was a lot of noise from the upstairs rooms and hallway. Why do all hotels have a 10 inch gap below the hallway door? I requested a room on the top floor. Much more quiet but just as small. If you like peace and quiet get a top floor room at the back of the hotel. Lousy view, but the front view isnt much better. Great locvation though.
C'est Magnifique!
Whatta place, I cannot recommend highly enough and I rarely get on my soapbox about things like this.Service is top notch, the place warm and cozy, rooms can be small, but the bed was comfy and the bathroom plenty large. Did not have the water pressure problem aforementioned in the least.While there are many wonderful places to stay in London I would return here hands down. My wallet fell out of my purse in my room as I prepared to check out. They called me right after I left to let me know I had left it behind and should they put it in a cab for me to the train station I was headed to.... pretty amazing service. Aesthetically pleasing, not stodgy, be forewarned however, if you are allergic to scents, etc., could be tough, they always have lovely scented candles burning throughout the hotel, which I loved, never that "hotel smell" and killed any cigarette smoke that wafts in from the bar area. Check it out!
Loved Myhotel Bloomsbury
We stayed in this beautiful Hotel and had a fab time. With it's location to Soho and Covent Garden, we were in the middle of it all. The Hotel service is savvy, the Bar has a private Club feel and the associates treat you like you are their special VIP. I have not stayed in any better Hotel in London ever.By the way if you are a Internet buff, check out the libary, Internet service is free !!!Enjoy your next travel to London and stay at the Myhotel Bloomsbury, you won't regret it.Dirk from Orlando
The "W" of London
This is a very stylish hotel and the service is impeccable and very friendly. The top notch service is evident the minute you walk into hotel -- they grab your bags, offer you a drink and explain the layout of the hotel (including the 24 hour library with free internet access).
You then arrive in your room and you find apples, bottled water, coffee and fortune cookies, not to mention your choice of music (preselected before you visit) already playing. The rooms are on the smaller side, but the beds so comfortable. Nice wood floors (partially carpeted) and furniture and nice lighting. In the morning, there is also a complimentary breakfast featuring croissants & pastries, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, cheeses, meats and juice. My only complaint is the terribly low water pressure in the shower. I might have asked for another room, but with so much else to like I overlooked this issue. I also have to say that the location of the hotel is fantastic. Only a few minute walk to the tube and Oxford St. And a short distance from so many London attractions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Home is where the heart is. i lost it at the bloomsbury.
its in the eye of the storm, right where things are, but once you enter the hotel you feel all at home, you are treated more like a friend rather than a guest. I loved sitting in the reading like in a english private club. and i really loved the way everything was set up in the comfortable rooms, there not even a problem to get onto the internet with my laptop. i sometimes wish home was like this. cheers everyone for letting me enjoy my stay.
Trendy bloomsbury, trendy myhotel
If you are the young, hip, and fun lot you should definately stay at myhotel bloomsbury! It has been one of the best hotels i have ever stayed in, and i have stayed in quite a few hotels. First of all the hotel is chic with a very zen like feel to it, yet it is also warm. Hotel rooms are small but come on this is london, simple cool design and a ton of ameneties make you overlook all that. The hotel has this very cool basement where they have a small gym if you want to maintain those abs, i honestly dont even know why hotels have gyms, i mean come on, people are generally on vacation the last thing they want to do is exercise, then again i might be wrong! They also have a cool library which is damn quiet so if you want to get away from the hustle of london you can go there, you could even meditate its so quiet. Like sushi? They have a very trendy Yo Sushi cafe right next to reception room as well as a bar. This hotels is right in the middle of everything, very close to Regents park, right of Oxford Circus in case you want to stop of at Virgin Megastore to buy whatever tickles your fancy, and about a block away from the tube. So why would you stay anywhere else?
This place was lame. If you want an idea of how it is, go to their website. Neat and slick, nice to look at and does a lot of cool things but try to get any pertinant information off it and you get frustrated and leave. This hotel tries to look so cool and hip (It succeeds in that) but fails miserably in delivering the goods. Granted, Im not expecting the Ritz Carlton but a little attention to service would be nice. I arrived to find my reservation nowhere to be found. After 10 minutes of phone calls, they did find it but now they said I reserved 2 rooms not one and the price was more expensive then what was agreed to. The woman at the desk was actually getting irritated with me, as if it was my fault these things are happening. Well, they gave me my key and I take the elevator to my room. The button to my floor doesnt work. All the others light up when I push them but not the one to my floor. Ive got to go to the one above it and take the stairs down. Finally I get to my room and its beautiful. Great bed, beautiful decor, Lovely. but thats it. One giant rip in the carpet has tried to have been replaced with another piece of carpet and rather small and cheap furniture. After trying to figure out the Chinese water torture shower contraption I decide to take a bath. They have a 24 hour bar next to the lobby which has a great feel to it, and really comfortable ( My favorite part of the hotel) but when i was there the bartender didnt know how to make any mixed drinks. Thats the frustrating thing about this place, it seems like the hotel was made AND OPERATED by a designer and not some one with any hotel experience. When I went to bed I realized I was on the one side of the hotel that is on the main street which police car sirens seem to go by every hour on the hour. Then I was treated to the emergency alarm in the hotel at 7AM for about 1 minute. Nice. In the morning I asked for another room and was begrudgingly obliged by the same Happy faced (sarcasm) woman who checked me in. 35 for 2 breakfasts after it was supposed to be included. I couldnt get any reciepts for my bills because their printer was not working as well as their credit card machine (They told me I would be mailed everything) Again I wasnt expecting the Ritz, but for $400+ a night I felt ripped off and duped.
Not worth the money
It was okay... just that. It was not worth the �250 we paid- you can find a much nicer hotel for that price.

Watching and reviewing Niki Cousineau's choreography and dance for more than 15 years, I have noted a certain delicacy, even reticence, coming through. She's not a flashy, over-the-top mover, but allows her intellect and commitment to craft to put her dance theater work over.
It helps that in 1996 she hooked up with the precision-minded Jorge Cousineau, an award-winning set, lighting, and sound designer. As the duo that has constituted Subcircle since 1997, they unveiled their latest work Thursday at the Performance Garage for a weekend run that ends Saturday night.
Their title is "All this happened, more or less," the opening line of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5, which centers on the World War II firebombing of Dresden, Germany, Jorge's birthplace. His set consists of crazily tilted white structures that could be from a Fritz Lang film. The dancers easily break them down and realign them, or make them explode into the rafters.

This course will serve as a selective overview of the most recent scholarship, which explores systems of captivity and coerced labor in (British) North America and the United States. We will explore indigenous systems of bondage, indigenous enslavement at the hands of European settlers, the transport and indentured servitude of European migrants, the British inter-colonial slave trade, and the indentured and sexual servitude of Chinese migrants and indigenous women in the 19th century.
This seminar is a thesis-writing workshop, designed for students working on senior projects related to the history of the United States in the 20th century. As the broad title suggests, it will welcome a wide variety of topics and methods, and should be a good home to students of diverse interests. The goal of this course will be the completion of one 30-50 page, high-quality paper. Unfortunately, a paper of this length and depth can hardly be written in a single semester—we will be behind from the very first class.
Though shaped by human biology and evolutionary impulses, human sexual and romantic relations have varied widely and changed dramatically. This course explores aspects of that diversity and change in the social, cultural, and legal history of the United States between the American Revolution and the Second World War. Most of our work will consist of intensive seminar discussion of recent scholarly work in the history of marriage and sexuality.
This research seminar is for students working on American history since 1900. This is not a reading seminar. We will spend some time discussing critical elements of the historian's craft (formulating topics; mapping out research programs; situating one's work within the historiography; designing, writing, and re-writing article length essays; etc.). But from very early in the semester the seminar will be devoted to the drafting, production, and refinement of seminar papers.
This seminar explores scholarship about African Americans' encounter with law. It looks at how debates over the place of African Americans in a democratic society have shaped important aspects of state and federal law. And it explores the impact of law on the lives of African Americans.

If there was any question about why Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was in Philadelphia on Thursday, the literature in the back of the room made it clear before she uttered a word.
There were oversize postcards ("Need affordable health insurance?"), glossy brochures ("About the Health Insurance Marketplace"), 81/2-by-11-inch color photocopies ("Key Dates for the Health Insurance Marketplace"), and multiple fact sheets detailing the Top Five Things You Need to Know About the Affordable Care Act, headlined for "Seniors" and "Young Adults" and "Families With Children" and "People With Disabilities and Serious Health Conditions."
Yet another fact sheet was aimed at "Latinos." All were in English and Spanish.

Olympus Publishes Micro 4/3 Lens Roadmap
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Olympus has published a roadmap for its Micro Four Thirds lens releases over the next two years. Apart from the existing two lenses and the two zooms planned for 2010, there are four lenses planned for spring 2011. These include a telephoto zoom and three primes including a 50mm macro, an 8mm fisheye and a wide-angle lens whose exact focal length is hard to determine from the roadmap. Currently, there are two Olympus-branded Micro Four Thirds lenses available, including a 14-42mm zoom and a 17mm "pancake", plus one Leica- and five Lumix-branded optics, with two more Lumix lenses coming, according to Panasonic.

Fifty years ago, Olympus came up with the Pen-series of half-frame film cameras. These cameras were well known for their design, compact size, and photo quality, and ended up selling over 17 million units. The most significant of these models was the PenF, released in 1963. The PenF was the world's first and only interchangeable lens half-frame camera, with twenty F. Zuiko lenses to choose from. In case you're wondering why they were called "Pen", Olympus says it was because "it was small enough to carry with you at all times, with the ability to easily record the events of daily life". Sounds good to me.
Thanks for the info! Any ideas if there is a similar thing for Nikon?
KG: Thanks for the interesting fact! Can't say I knew why it is called the "pen series

Company to pay $81,000 in restitution to Vt. customers
MONTPELIER - The state Department of Financial Regulation announced Tuesday that The Hartford Financial Services Group will pay more than $81,000 in restitution to Vermont customers whose auto insurance claims were not evaluated properly.
An investigation by the department determined that The Hartford had inaccurately calculated the value of total vehicle losses for 77 claims between January 2009 and September 2011. In response, The Hartford has agreed to implement new policies and procedures as well as mandatory training for all employees who handle Vermont claims.
Commissioner Steve Kimbell said he was pleased with the corrective actions the company agreed to take.
"It is always gratifying when a company acknowledges erroneous practices and strives to make improvements," Kimbell said.
The department said it will conduct a follow-up examination in about a year.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON While thinking about space exploration might be associated with Cape...
