These medications seem to keep things in check for reducing her pain, but she will get a flare-up and nothing seems to work.

March 4, 2016 - 1:30 PM Room: D1
After receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the youth wonder how they should live the Christian life. We will address some "now what happens."
March 4, 2016 - 1:30 PM Room: Firehouse
Like the stories that get told over and over again until they're "true," or the photos on social media that spread like wildfire until they're debunked, there are lies in Youth Ministry that many of us simply accept because we've heard them so often. We'll spend time together digging in to five of these youth ministry lies. And we'll work to discover "truths" that will help you build a strong Youth Ministry.
March 4, 2016 - 1:30 PM Room: D2
We so often do Youth Ministry in a vacuum. We do it for the sake of itself, for the sake of having a big program, or for the sake of our own egos. What if we did youth ministry in a way that actually prepared students for adulthood? What if we did it in a way that prepared them for their early adult participation in the church?
March 4, 2016 - 4:30 PM Room: C2
Planning a youth retreat can be overwhelming! Not sure where to start? Join us, a team of retreat planning professionals and youth retreat survivors (aka veterans). This workshop will cover topics such as selecting and working with the retreat center, setting budgets, marketing, sample timelines, and much more. Special attention will be given to the topic of getting volunteers. Bring your questions, challenges, and ideas. Don't forget, youth are the future of our church - let's have a great conversation! Erin Hilliker and Joah Widman will be co-presenters for this workshop.
March 4, 2016 - 4:30 PM Room: D1
Often times as leaders and adults when we here the word teen we tend to look the other way. The youth of today are our youth leaders and pastors of tomorrow. We must take the time to teach them and prepare and empower and equip them with God's word so that they may be able to lead God's people. Let this course show you new and innovative ways to teach your teens the word of God.We will discuss tips and ideas on how to keep your teens engaged with God's word.
March 5, 2016 - 12:45 PM Room: D1
The Word of God (the content) is the same but our methods need to change if we want to reach this generation of youth.Come learn some new ways!

The growing emphasis on the role formal and informal institutions played in Early Modern economics and the extent to which this influence actually determined the rise of the West after the first steps towards the Industrial Revolution became the corner stone of most economic historical works.
The theory by North was able to bring under its umbrella not only economic historians, but also other specialists in Early Modern studies. The idea that institutions were whole encompassing and paramount for social and economic development fit well with the explanatory divide in the literature between absolutist states and parliamentary states, as much as with the dichotomies recognized to the regions influenced by the traditional peasant- or specialization-models. In a time when monopolies of kings, states and chartered companies seem to have been in the forefront of capital accumulation and western expansion, the prominence of institutions became an undeniable fact.
Notwithstanding North's contribution to the understanding of social and economic processes during the Early Modern period, the last ten years have been characterized by a growing number of studies that have questioned the role played by institutions and the monopolies they sponsored. Specifically centered in the relationship between European empires overseas, there is a growing consensus that most of those empires were profitable and successful due to the intervention of individuals or groups of individuals engaged in the common good of the social and economic networks they served. More often than not, these self-organized, trans-imperial, cross-cultural networks imposed serious challenges to State, Church and Monopolistic institutions, since they were the source of most of the illegal and contraband transactions world-wide, but they were also the ones that within, or in collaboration with the institutions actually became agents of empire building.
This proposal wishes to explore the mechanisms of self-organizing entrepreneurial networks performing against or within the functioning of imperial institutions in Europe, the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. The participants will emphasize the means, mechanisms and agency of self-organizing networks in these two three specific contexts. The organizers will act as discussants and underline the importance of these complex relationships across empires, stressing the differences and similarities that can be found within these three specific areas.
By putting together specialists focused in different political, religious and cultural backgrounds, this panel of multiple sessions aims to call for a debate on the (in)existence of differences among the modus operandi of Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British or French representatives, when acting as agents of cross-imperial economic networks. Ultimately, the differences and similarities of colonial projects will be acknowledged as the central conductive rationale behind the self-organizing networks functioned with- or against institutions in the Early Modern period.
Abstracts of max 500 words and a short cv should be sent to email@example.com before April 20. Organizers will select the final participants by April 25.

Trying to unwrap Trump's immigration position
Over the weekend, some of Donald Trump's top staffers and advisers made some comments that suggested the Republican was hedging on his hardline immigration views. It quickly became clear that the candidate himself would have to address the issue and clarify where he stands.
And in theory, that'd be helpful, but in practice, the GOP nominee spoke at some length to Fox News' Bill O'Reilly last night, and his on-air comments seemed to raise as many questions as they answered.
The host asked at the outset, for example, "Are you really rethinking your mass deportation strategy?" Trump replied, somewhat cryptically, "I just want to follow the law." He then changed the subject.
The host pressed further, and according to the Nexis transcript, here's Trump explaining his current position:
"We are going to obey the existing laws. Now the existing laws are very strong. The existing laws, the first thing we are going to do if and when I win, is we are going to get rid of all of the bad ones. We have got gang members, we have killers. We have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country."We are going to get them out. And the police know who they are. They are known by law enforcement who they are. We don't do anything. They go around killing people and hurting people. And they are going to be out of this country so fast your head will spin. We have existing laws that will allow to you do that as far as everybody else, we are going to go through the process. What people don't know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country. Bush the same thing. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, I'm going to do the same thing and I just said that."
I've seen quite a bit of analysis of this, and I'm still not entirely sure what to make of it. Trump seemed to suggest he'd prioritize enforcement against undocumented immigrants who commit violent felonies, but if so, that'd put him in line with President Obama's position.
Indeed, note that while Trump said "we don't do anything" about deporting dangerous people, the Republican added moments later that President Obama has already deported a "tremendous" number of felons.
As for "the process" other undocumented immigrants would have to "go through," Trump hasn't explained in detail exactly what that process might look like.
Tuesday's Campaign Round-Up, 8.23.16
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* The latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump nationally by eight points, 50% to 42%. That's a slight change from her nine-point advantage in the same poll a week ago.
* While addressing the issue of election "poll watchers" at an event in Ohio last night, Trump told supporters, "[W]hen I say 'watch,' you know what I'm talking about, right? You know what I'm talking about. I think you gotta go out and you gotta watch."
* Republican mega-donor Robert Mercer is intervening in Arizona's GOP Senate primary, hoping to boost Kelli Ward in her race against Sen. John McCain with a six-figure investment. The primary is a week from today, but early voting is already underway in the state.
* In Ohio, the latest Monmouth University poll shows Clinton leading Trump in the Buckeye State, 43% to 39%, with Libertarian Gary Johnson garnering 10%.
* The same poll found incumbent Sen. Rob Portman (R) in good shape against former Gov. Ted Strickland (D), 48% to 40%.
* It's a bit of an outlier, but a new Roanoke College Poll shows Clinton with a 19-point lead over Trump in Virginia, 55% to 36%. With third-party candidates in the mix, the Democrat's lead shrinks to a still-dominant 16 points.
* The Associated Press researched the social media accounts of Trump's paid campaign staffers and found that they've written "Muslims are unfit to be U.S. citizens, ridiculed Mexican accents, called for Secretary of State John Kerry to be hanged and stated their readiness for a possible civil war."
* James Glassman, a former State Department official in the Bush/Cheney administration, and the founder of the George W. Bush Institute, yesterday became the latest high-profile Republican to announce his support for Clinton's presidential candidacy.
Bachmann boasts of role as Trump adviser on multiple issues
Michele Bachmann may no longer be in Congress, but that doesn't mean she's withdrawn from the arena. On the contrary, to hear the far-right Minnesotan tell it, she has a role in the Republican presidential campaign as a policy adviser to Donald Trump.
Tea Party firebrand Michele Bachmann says she is advising Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on foreign policy.The former Minnesota congresswoman attended a fundraiser in the state for Trump on Saturday, where she revealed to the press that she has his ear on foreign policy.
"[Trump] recognizes there is a threat around the world, not just here in Minnesota, of radical Islam," Bachmann told Minnesota Public Radio.
If this sounds vaguely familiar, there's a good reason: Bachmann was already identified as a Trump adviser in June, when the Republican nominee announced the creation of an "executive board convened to provide advisory support to Mr. Trump on those issues important to Evangelicals and other people of faith in America."
The name at the top of the alphabetical list: Michele Bachmann.
Trump eager to return military equipment to police departments
The violent crisis in Ferguson, Missouri, two years ago rattled the country in a variety of ways, but one of the lasting debates focused on the militarization of local law enforcement. Many Americans weren't just shocked by the unrest; they were surprised to see police officers carrying weapons of war while confronting civilians.
Soon after, there was considerable interest on Capitol Hill about reforming the Pentagon's "1033" program that makes military equipment available to police departments. Though most of the support for changes was spearheaded by Democrats -- Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) were particularly invested -- even some Republican lawmakers agreed it was time to take another look at the policy.
Congressional action never materialized, but as we discussed last year, the Obama administration followed through, banning the transfer of at least some types of military weapons to local police.
As Bloomberg Politics reported yesterday, Donald Trump wants to undo what President Obama has done.
Police union members in Ohio today quizzed Donald Trump about protective gear, saying President Obama has banned practice of sales of surplus military equipment to police department.Trump says he would resume such sales, saying "Yes, I would. I think it's ridiculous" the practice was stopped.
Keep in mind, under the White House's reforms, items like grenade launchers are no longer made available to local police departments. NBC News' reported last May that if local departments "want other, less-imposing military equipment, local law enforcement agencies will have to submit to stringent federal oversight and restrictions."
GOP convinces its base about illusory 'voter fraud' scourge
Can a misleading debate cause widespread public confusion? Of course it can. Take this Gallup report, released yesterday, for example.
The survey ... asked Americans about their general concern that ineligible voters would cast votes.... Americans are fairly split on their degree of concern about votes being cast by people who, by law, are not eligible to vote. More than a third view it as a major problem (36%), while nearly as many view it as either a minor problem (32%) or not a problem at all (29%).A majority of Republicans (52%) perceive voter fraud as a major problem, which is reflected in the policy stances of many GOP state governors. By contrast, just 26% of Democrats expect ineligible persons voting to be a major problem this year. Southerners (42%) are more likely than those in other regions to view it as a major problem. The South is the most Republican region in the country, and the only region where some variation of a voter ID law is in effect in every state.
In general, I don't much blame Republican voters for getting this wrong. Instead, I blame GOP leaders who've convinced rank-and-file voters to believe something that isn't true.
Because as a practical matter, Republicans have been told so many times over the years about the scourge of widespread "voter fraud" -- by GOP officials and prominent media conservatives -- that much of the public is bound to believe that there's a legitimate problem affecting the outcome of elections.
Except, there isn't. Objective evidence makes clear that this "fraud" hardly exists, doesn't affect elections, and remains a made-up problem in search of unnecessary solutions. Republican leaders see electoral value in imposing new voting restrictions that help give the GOP an edge, and to justify these hurdles, they have to manufacture a crisis that's largely imaginary.
The result is another installment in the "reality gap" file.
Trump sees foreign 'war zones' as safer than US cities
Donald Trump's newfound interest in reaching out to African-American voters is off to a bumpy start, but last night in Akron, Ohio, he expanded his message a bit.
Hoping to make the case that the status quo is untenable, the Republican presidential candidate insisted that current crime levels have reached a level "nobody's seen." Trump added, "You can go to war zones in countries that we're fighting and it's safer than living in some of our inner cities."
But, Trump said moments later, if he's elected, all of these concerns will simply go away. From the transcript pulled together by CBS News' Sopan Deb:
"I will straighten it out. I'll bring jobs back. We'll bring spirit back. We'll get rid of the crime. You'll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot. Look at the statistics."
This echoes the themes and fears the Republican nominee emphasized during his convention speech last month, but if one takes the candidate's advice and "look at the statistics," it becomes clear that Trump has no idea what he's talking about.
Monday's Mini-Report, 8.22.16
Today's edition of quick hits:
* Louisiana: "Twenty-two districts across a vast swath of southern Louisiana were forced to close last week by a historic flood, delaying or interrupting the start of the school year for tens of thousands of children." Some will remain closed indefinitely.
* Legal setback: "A federal judge on Sunday blocked the Obama administration from enforcing new guidelines that were intended to expand restroom access for transgender students across the country."
* Virginia: "During a noon ceremony at the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial on Capitol Square, Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced that he has restored the rights of more than 13,000 felons on a case-by-case basis. The governor also detailed his rights-restoration process for other felons who have completed their terms."
* Turkey: "The wedding on Saturday night was winding down, and some guests had already left. But the music was still playing and people were still dancing in the narrow streets of Gaziantep, a city not far from the Syrian border. Just then a child -- no more than 14 years old, Turkey's president said later -- meandered into the gathering and detonated a vest of explosives."
* The virtues of discretion: "A week after allowing Russian planes to fly bombing runs into Syria from a base inside its borders, Iran reversed course on Monday and withdrew permission for the flights, complaining that the Kremlin had been too public about the arrangement."
* Arizona: "A federal judge on Friday referred Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three of his aides to the U.S. Attorney's Office, requesting that they be prosecuted for criminal contempt of court."
* Supreme Court: "For those envisioning a line of moving vans at the Supreme Court and a new president immediately reordering life at the marble palace, this small splash of cold water: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 83, has already hired the four clerks who will assist her through June 2018."
Mixed messages muddy the waters on Trump, deportations
Perhaps no issue has defined Donald Trump's presidential candidacy as much as his hardline stance on immigration. The Republican nominee, embracing the kind of nativism modern national candidates have generally avoided, has seemingly gone out of his way to alienate immigrants and their allies with talk of mass deportations, bans, and walls.
With that in mind, it's something of a surprise to suddenly hear some mixed signals from Team Trump on the matter. The Washington Post reported this morning:
Donald Trump's campaign wavered Sunday on whether he would continue to call for the mass deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants from the United States, the latest in a series of sometimes-clumsy attempts to win over moderate GOP voters without alienating millions who have flocked to his hardline views.After insisting for more than a year that all illegal immigrants "have to go," Trump met with a newly created panel of Hispanic advisers on Saturday and asked for other ideas -- making clear that his position is not finalized, according to two attendees.
To be sure, there's been no explicit shift from the candidate, and there are no exact quotes from Trump's weekend gathering with Hispanic advisers.
Last November, however, Trump said on MSNBC that he would use "a deportation force" to round up 11 million undocumented immigrants. Yesterday, when CNN's Dana Bash asked Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway about whether or not "a deportation force" is part of the candidate's plan, Conway replied, "To be determined."
Around the same time, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), a Trump confidant and prominent anti-immigration voice on Capitol Hill, appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" and was asked about Trump' deportation plans. "He's wrestling with how to do that," the Alabama Republican said.
On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Trump himself insisted, "No, I'm not flip flopping. We want to come up with a really fair, but firm answer. It has to be very firm. But we want something fair."
I don't know what that means. I'm reasonably confident Donald Trump doesn't know, either.
Monday's Campaign Round-Up, 8.22.16
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Donald Trump's first television ad of the general election focuses on immigrants and refugees, but according to a Politico report, as recently as the middle of last week, Trump aides determined their first spot would be devoted to "an economic message." It's unclear exactly who changed the plan the next day.
* David Nierenberg, the former chairman of Mitt Romney's national finance committee, is the latest Republican to throw his support to Hillary Clinton.
* There's some question in Indiana as to whether or not former Sen. Evan Bayh (D), hoping to reclaim his old Senate seat, still has an active voter registration in the state.
* Evan McMullin, running a conservative independent presidential candidacy, has reportedly qualified for the ballot in Iowa and Louisiana. He's also slated to appear on the ballot in Colorado and Utah.
* On a related note, Green Party nominee Jill Stein tried to get on the presidential ballot in Georgia, but she appears to have come up short.
* After complaining about a local story published in Naples, Florida congressional candidate Dan Bongino (R) "went on a screaming, profanity-laced tirade Sunday during a telephone call" with Politico yesterday.
Trump has a new message for African-American voters
At a campaign event in California in June, Donald Trump looked out at a supportive audience and, for some reason, felt the need to single out one person. "Look at my African American over here," the Republican presidential hopeful said, raising eyebrows.
It's hard to say with confidence why, exactly, the GOP candidate made this comment, though it may have had something to do with a degree of surprise. Most Trump supporters are white, and he was likely pleased to see a person of color in the crowd.
Trump, however, has high hopes for the future. At a rally on Friday afternoon, Trump not only predicted a 2016 victory, he also aimed high for the 2020 race: "At the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get over 95 percent of the African-American vote. I promise you."
Just to put that number in context, exit polls show President Obama won roughly 93% of African Americans' support four years ago. Trump, who's generally received between 0% to 2% of the black vote in recent polling, "guarantees" and "promises" that he'll be even more popular with this constituency when he runs for a second term.
But as the Washington Post reported, that's not all Trump said about African-American voters at his Michigan rally.
"Look at how much African American communities are suffering from Democratic control. To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? What do you have to lose?" he asked. "You live in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?"
If the Republican nominee believes this is going to boost his vote totals, he's likely to be disappointed.

Academic Life, Public Spheres and Political Cultures in Western Europe and the United States, 1945-90

Announcement ID:
In what ways ¢ and to what extent ¢ did academic life change in Western Europe and the United States during the Cold War era? Why did it change the way it did? These are the leading questions of a workshop that will examine the evolution of scholarly life within the context of far-reaching transformations of public spheres and political cultures. Both the changing fabric of the mass media and the shifting landscape of political ideas are at the heart of this workshop, which is primarily interested in professors who time and again intervened in the political sphere ¢ the latter being defined as a space of communication in which collectively binding decisions relevant to larger social entities were negotiated. Indeed, the workshop is not concerned with scholars who were largely confined to the proverbial æivory towerÆ, writing books and articles that only their closest colleagues would read. Rather, it is focused on professors who frequently transformed themselves into intellectuals, political advisers or expert commentators for the media, continuously transcending the realm of the university.
Situated at the crossroads of university history, the history of science, media history, the history of intellectuals and cold war history, the workshop will primarily address the following set of questions:
1) How did national differences within the structure of public spheres shape the production and dissemination of academic knowledge and ideas? What kind of journals, newspapers, publishers, radio and television broadcasts were available to professors to express their thoughts? Which significance can be ascribed to think tanks, foundations, the state, and institutions such as the Bundeszentrale f³r politische Bildung?
2) In what ways did national differences within the realm of the university have an impact on the shaping and transfer of academic knowledge and ideas? Which significance can be ascribed to divergent notions of intellectual authority and professorial habitus, diverse disciplinary traditions, and conflicting ideals of rationality, objectivity and truth? How was the production and dissemination of knowledge affected by the expansion of universities and the foundation of reform universities in the 1960s and 1970s?
3) In what ways did transnational spaces of communication and intellectual networks counteract national differences? Which significance can be ascribed to transnational agencies such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the Trilateral Commission, the Harvard International Seminar, and the Salzburg Seminar in American Studies? What role did academic ķmigrķs play in bridging and mediating between national differences?
4) In what ways did professors shape political cultures of the Cold War era, and how were they themselves affected by political events, socio-cultural developments and shifts in political ideas?
Submissions of 1-2 pages may be sent by e-mail to Riccardo Bavaj (firstname.lastname@example.com). The deadline for proposals is 11 July 2011. As can be gathered from the questions outlined, priority will be given to proposals that engage the conference topic from a comparative and transnational perspective. The workshop will be held at the University of Bonn (Germany) on 27 April 2012.
In order to give commentators sufficient time to prepare their remarks, the selected panellists will be asked to submit their papers by 26 March 2012. The papers are to be published in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal.
The workshop is co-organised by Riccardo Bavaj (University of St Andrews / Saint Louis University), Dominik Geppert (University of Bonn), and Mark Edward Ruff (Saint Louis University). It will be sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Betting firms causing outrage by offering bets on outrageous things has become a standard way of getting the media to do their PR for them. The press will write acres of condemnation that would have taken a million barrels of ink to publish before the internet. Until now, none of these has made me angry.
Over recent years, social networking giant Facebook has become a truly global phenomenon. Many of us now use the site on a daily basis for networking with friends, updating statuses, uploading photos, and general entertainment. However, the social network has made it clear that it wants to branch out into other areas...
All Shakin' Stevens fans will be hoping for a big run from Green Door in the opening Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday but preference is for Irish raider This Ole House no sorry still in Shakin' Stevens mode I mean Coach House (2.30) who has won his last couple of starts including when showing improved form on fast ground at the Curragh last month.
Seabass very nearly made history last year when finishing third for jockey Katie Walsh and she must have every chance again this year with the shorter trip a plus for a horse whose stamina gave way at the elbow last year. Ireland haven't won the big race since Silver Birch in 2007 but they have a very strong hand this year.

His cabaret The Bohemians in Brooklyn, with Patricia O'Callaghan, Bryce Kulak and his wife, the harpist Lori Gemmell was the surprise hit at the Young Centre Cabaret Festival in Toronto and was described as "slickly written" and "beautifully punctuated with songs." Tom has also had three books published, most recently The Gift of the Game, a reflection on hockey and the role the game plays in the life of a divorced parent.
Allen studied at McGill University, graduated from Boston University and received his MA at Yale University. While looking for full-time work as a trombonist, he temped on Wall Street and cooked in a Mexican restaurant. One of his favourite musical memories is of joining 87 other trombonists on the first-base line at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox home opener in 1982.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Boscolo Hotel Bellini Venice
Great location for an aging hotel. View from our room of the Grand Canal and the Ponti degli Scalzi bridge. A few steps from the railroad terminal and do-able walking distance from the Rialto and St. Marks. Free internet. All together quite satisfactory.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
My husband and I stayed here the first few nights of our honeymoon. It's a great location since it's just outside of the train steps, faces the grand canal and near water taxis. The room is small, as are most typical European hotels, but it was lovely. We would definitely stay again!

Historical Traveler Reviews The Boscolo Hotel Bellini Venice
Worst place to rest your Head
This place was terriable. The staff was the worst. Our bed was made up everyday but that was about it. We had to call down for such items as toliet paper and the room was beyond small. I would only say that it was very close to the train station but then that ment that it was never quiet. We would wake the whole night because of the noise coming from the street. I would never stay there again and am not sure what the other people saw there that would make them.
The only good thing about this hotel was the fact that we only had to be there for 1 night. What a disappointment it was! Our room was not what I would refer to as clean and sanitary, although it wasn't the worst I have seen. Keep it mind, however this is advertised as a 4-star hotel. The most dreadful aspect of the room was the bed. I have slept on many uncomfortable beds in Europe, but this one takes the cake by far. Sharp springs along with an incredible slouching effect that almost brought the bottom of the mattress to hit the floor.
We called the front desk and asked about be transferred to another room with an acceptable bed. They told us all of the rooms, and beds for that matter were the same. As we were not quite convinced, we asked to see another room and to our surprise, it was just as awful.
The next morning we left to check into the Saturnia for the next few days which was a fabulous hotel.
Arrived here with a complimentary drink and snack, after being delayed from the Italian air traffic control strike! Everything was with a smile, and nothing was too much for any of the staff. With some of the reviews on here after we had booked for my husbands birthday, was a little worried, but it was exceptional! The rooms were of a fantastic size, good bathroom, the only disappointment was of the breakfast, but u were never far from any snack shops.....
Out the door to the Vaporetto
Arriving in Venice can be complicated, but staying at the Bellini allows you to take the Vaporetto 1 stop from Piazale Roma to the Train Station and the hotel is right there. The convenient Vaporetto locations allows for easy trips to Murano, Rialto, etc. We also found that the better, less tourist-trap restaurants are in this area of Venice. The hotel is older & has typical Venetian decor. The bathrooms were nicely updated and the rooms were tidy and much larger for venetian standards. We felt that the young people working in the hotel were not very familiar with Venice and unable to give good recommendations. This is a 4*, not a 5* and the service feels that way.
Excellent Four Star Hotel
I was nervous. Having stayed in hotels throughout Europe I know well that hotel's are not always as advertised. The Bellini Hotel was exactly what I hoped for. It is a classic four star Venice hotel. The rooms were tastefully decorated with period furnitue and were kept in great, clean condition. All have well-done new bathrooms, TV with satellite reception, air conditioning, and a mini bar. The staff was friendly and quite helpful. This hotel is part of the Boscolo chain, a very image conscious chain of European Hotels. You will not be disappointed by this hotel. Ignore negative reviews because they are simply inaccurate. Stay here without fear. Feel free to contact me for more info.
Bellini - Bellisima!!!
My girlfriend and I stayed here during the week of the 13th an dfound it to be beautiful and charming. Fabulous location, particularly if you are travelling by train (about 100 yards to the left of the station).
The vaporetti are right there too. The staff is very helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. Breakfast was excellent - as close to an American buffet as you'll find. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Venice.
Long weekend
Visited the Bellini 27th - 29th September 2003 with good expectations.
The location is at the NW end of the Grand Canal and as such not really central, (it is however a simple 5 minute walk from the bus station and 1 minute walk from the train station.) Good location for vaperetti, right outside. Inside the initial impressions are good with a quality feel one would expect from a 4* hotel. Once behind the scenes though things for us deteriorated; not badly but little things. Our room, #127, was pokey. No view and barely room to walk around the (admittedly large king size) bed. The fixtures were of quality but no attention to detail, (only half a curtain and empty mini bar). There was a constant hum from some equipment nearby within the hotel which was not disturbing but irritating. Breakfast was OK in quality but poor service, on Sunday morning 80%+ of the tables had dirty plates, etc. on them and people were queuing waiting for a table. In summary I would not stay here again as it just couldn't deliver what it promised. I'd rather pay less for a simpler hotel in a more central location or more for a hotel that can deliver 4*.
Outstanding 4 star value in Venice
The Boscolo Hotel Bellini in Venice is an outstanding find and can be a value. I searched for hotels in May 2003 and found only Lido hotels at 160 euros... or more. 3 and 4 star properties on the main islands cost much more. I selected this hotel through Expedia special rates and paid USD440 for 3 nts total cost. It is right at the Ferrovia stop and thus convenient to all waterbus lines. On top of its location and price, the hotel is absolutely outstanding from its lobby staff to its full breakfast to its rooms. Our room was typically small but furnished and decorated very, very well. The bathroom was great and the windows were double paned and effectively kept the room quiet. The hotel is one stop from Pl Roma and a quick short walk from the train station. The location is superb in Cannaregio. We think we got a very good deal and the outstanding quality of the hotel made our stay absolutely great! As a ref, I did 125 room nights in 2002 and stayed in 2 to 5 star hotels. I'm not impressed easily.
Second Honeymoon
We stayed here for our anniversary trip to Venice and I can't praise it highly enough. Handy for everywhere, the room was superb and staff very friendly. Go!
Loved It
You cannot beat this hotel for location, standard and service. The rooms are fantastic, you are right on a vaparetto stop (for 5 routes!) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend the Bellini for an excellent stay in Venice. Absolutely charming.

SNAP - Scotland's National Action Plan for Human Rights - was launched on 10 Decemember 2013, marking International Human Rights Day.
Following four years of research and partnership working, led by the Scottish Human Rights Commission, it sets out a bold roadmap towards a Scotland where everyone can live with human dignity - where international human rights are realised in people's lives.
SNAP is the first National Action Plan for human rights in any part of the UK. It is based on experience from other European and Commonwealth countries, as well as guidance from the United Nations and the Council of Europe.
SNAP was developed by a Drafting Group drawn from the public and voluntary sectors. An Advisory Council of members reflecting Scottish civic life oversaw the process.
SNAP aims to build a better human rights culture, help improve people's lives through human rights and contribute to a better world by giving effect to Scotland's international human rights obligations.

Israeli Airlines: the Most Beautiful Stewardesses
A survey by the World Air Hostesses Association has revealed that Israeli airline EL AL has the most beautiful stewardesses in the world. The news, which was revealed this week by the Chinese media may be slightly unusual, however the authors of the report stated that for many passengers the "sweet, elegant smile" of an air stewardess makes passengers feel welcome and at home, and alongside safety (for which, Israeli airlines are also world leaders, of course) are two of the most important considerations for many passengers when selecting an airline.

Skip to comments.Twenty Things You May Not Know About ObamaCare
Posted on 03/22/2010 1:59:02 PM PDT by NYer
Now that ObamaCare has become law rather than just the fevered dream of leftie bloggers, it is time to begin discovering what is in it. David Hogberg begins the process at Investor's Business Daily.
1. You are young and dont want health insurance? You are starting up a small business and need to minimize expenses, and one way to do that is to forego health insurance? Tough. You have to pay $750 annually for the privilege. (Section 1501)
2. You are young and healthy and want to pay for insurance that reflects that status? Tough. Youll have to pay for premiums that cover not only you, but also the guy who smokes three packs a day, drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off the floor. Thats because insurance companies will no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a persons health status. (Section 2701).
3. You would like to pay less in premiums by buying insurance with lifetime or annual limits on coverage? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer such policies, even if that is what customers prefer. (Section 2711).
4. Think youd like a policy that is cheaper because it doesnt cover preventive care or requires cost-sharing for such care? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer policies that do not cover preventive services or offer them with cost-sharing, even if thats what the customer wants. (Section 2712).
5. You are an employer and you would like to offer coverage that doesnt allow your employers slacker children to stay on the policy until age 26? Tough. (Section 2714).
6. You must buy a policy that covers ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services; chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
Youre a single guy without children? Tough, your policy must cover pediatric services. Youre a woman who cant have children? Tough, your policy must cover maternity services. Youre a teetotaler? Tough, your policy must cover substance abuse treatment. (Add your own violation of personal freedom here.) (Section 1302).
7. Do you want a plan with lots of cost-sharing and low premiums? Well, the best you can do is a Bronze plan, which has benefits that provide benefits that are actuarially equivalent to 60% of the full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan. Anything lower than that, tough. (Section 1302 (d) (1) (A))
8. You are an employer in the small-group insurance market and youd like to offer policies with deductibles higher than $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for families? Tough. (Section 1302 (c) (2) (A).
9. If you are a large employer (defined as at least 101 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes). Think you know how to better spend that money? Tough. (Section 1513).
10. You are an employer who offers health flexible spending arrangements and your employees want to deduct more than $2,500 from their salaries for it? Sorry, cant do that. (Section 9005 (i)).
Go here to read the rest. The first impact most voters will feel from ObamaCare will be increased cost for the private insurace that they pay for or their employers pay for as none of these government mandates pay for themselves. As I pay every cent of my own insurance I am especially appreciative of that fact and can't wait to thank the politicians responsible for this at the polls in November.
for later reading.
No to worry! Now you can be a slacker and have your parents pick up your insurance bill until you're 26.
That isn't the half of it!
Well when it gets implemented I'm signing up for lots of preventative care. Does it include messages and acupuncture? Also I think I will need substance abuse treatment even if I don't use, and anger management treatment which I really will need. Also, I will be depressed and need therapy and lots of psych drugs which I may forget to take. Economic terrorism will accelerate the collapse. We may have to tear it all down before we can rebuild our nation.
You either go out of business, or lower your wages and raise your product prices... ok, so you go out of business.
Also the insurance companies must charge men and women the same exact amount, redistributing wealth from men to women as women have higher medical costs. On car insurance though, women will continue to enjoy lower premiums. Heads women win, tails men lose.
Anyone know?
Our local talk show on KSEV hosted by Texas Senator Dan Patrick was talking about the 4% tax on proceeds from the sale of private residences and the 3.8% tax on passive income - ahhhhh Obamacare - the gift that keeps on giving!
Imagine 30 million new patients with insurance plans that pay the providers 60% of the treatment cost. there will be no doctors accepting new patients and they will all end up back in the ER for primary care. The good news is we get this for only 940 billion.
I can't find my birth certificate and my step father left my mom, but still has health insurance. Can I stay on his plan without proving my date of birth?
So what did we learn this weekend? That the health care reform bill is such a big idea that it doesn't matter what's in it. It's such a big idea, in fact, that that's all those dopes voted for - the idea. Because they really don't know what's in the bill anyway. They couldn't have - it's 2,700 pages. This was, essentially, a "yes" vote on Shangri-la.
The argument was never about health care. It was about whether America can survive when strapped with another massive entitlement program, one in which we've been deceived about cost. Essentially Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama (Obamalosi, for short) looked at our crumbling economy, weighed down by three massive entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid), and thought: let's have a fourth. Let's go all in on unfunded entitlements.
The worst part? The lies. Seriously: How can anyone say this is going to save money?
I wanna show you a graph from Nick Gillespie's great piece at Reason.com
Check out the estimated cost of Medicare. 12 billion. Now check out its actual cost. 110 billion. They were only off by 900 percent.
Welcome to Greece, people. Jump in, the water's warm.
Let's look at all arguments for health care. First they tried to sell the thing on moral grounds. Didn't work. Then on efficiency grounds. Still didn't work. Then they switched to saving money. Thirty million new people to insure, and somehow they convinced themselves it'll save us money! Using the same logic, we should insure Canada too! We'd really be saving cash then!
Look - universal health care is a beautiful idea. But so is getting a pony for your fifth birthday.
When daddy argues with little Susie over that pony, she doesn't care about how they're going to afford the pony. She doesn't care if they have to mortgage the house to pay for the pony. She just wants that pony.
But see, daddy is supposed to know that. And daddy isn't supposed to actually buy the pony! And, most of all, he isn't supposed to tell everyone in earshot that it's cheaper having that pony - than having a car.
But he just did. And the media, and the Dems - fell in line like a classroom of five year old girls.
They didn't just buy the pony. They just bought the whole damn farm.
No problem. If I run out of money I'll just steal it from the neighborhood Democrats. That's how we do things in Obama's America.
That's what my Dr told me months ago - they will not take new patients and particularly Medicare as the payments are too low and slow.
This bill is an act of war against We the People.
I believe you meant to say "massages".
And while you are signing up for preventative care, be sure to schedule yourself for an abortion. Male or female, they'll put you on the calendar and check you out.
Actually ... no. Women pay more for a haircut than men. (pun intended :-)
I refuse to buy insurance for my adult children.
Don't forget joining the local gym for physical rehab.
That this congress and president can do just about anything they want unless this is stopped. They could vote that everybody buy and wear purple leisure suits or face a fine and go to jail..
It's true that premiums will skyrocket for 20-somethings as a result of Obamacare, but the Dems are counting on the proposition that they won't care because they'll just stay on their parents' policies.
We'll see if that works.
9. If you are a large employer (defined as at least 101 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes). Think you know how to better spend that money? Tough. (Section 1513).
does this mean full time employees?
If they want the guns they must first receive the ammunition. Of course, this is a moot point. All of my guns fell into the lake during an unfortunate boating accident.
A search brought up an old article. I know years ago some peditricians were asking about guns in the home. (Ours never did though).
By: Susan Ferrechio (GAO)
Chief Congressional Correspondent
November 24, 2009
The Senate's 2,074-page health care bill doesn't mention guns, but some gun owners are worried certain provisions could eventually be used to discourage or even restrict gun ownership as part of a government effort to influence behavior as it broadens its control over the health care system.
The day before the Senate passed the $848 billion health bill on a party-line vote, the Virginia-based Gun Owners of America sent out a mass alert to its 300,000 members, warning them that the legislation "will most likely dump your gun-related health data into a government database. ... This includes any firearms-related information your doctor has gleaned or any determination of post traumatic stress disorder or something similar, that can preclude you from owning firearms."

Just don't have an explicit abortion provision in there, and don't forget to give people the right to have a conscience.
Thanks. Good find.
