Rated 2 out of 5 by JSHoneymoon Disappointed We stayed at the resort on points for the final 2 nights of our honeymoon. After coming off a week long private yacht charter we were psyched for a hot shower and clean room. Unfortunately, we found a cockroach in our bathroom and when reporting this to the front desk it seemed this wasn't a big deal. The room was otherwise clean. We weren't offered an upgrade at check in and when I asked if any were available the front desk employee, Franique, rudely stated it was extremely busy and nothing was available. An upgrade would've been great as we could hear every word from the guests in the adjacent room. We had hoped for a little recognition of our honeymoon in our room. We received nothing. Not even a note. Then as we checked out we were surprised to find charges not disclosed during check in. For example the daily $40 "resort" fee was ridiculous. Other resorts charge $10 and mention the fee at check in. We noticed a $3 discrepancy in our room service bill and asked for a refund of that amount at check out. Similar to check in, Franique was again rude and was inconvenienced to make the change. She didn't bother to remove the tax on the error either. Yea, it's not going to break the bank but recovering with flair goes a long way and no effort was made to do so. Overall we left upset with the experience and frustrated with the charges. No effort was made to overcome the shortcomings and dealing with Franique only made it worse. I travel extensively, am a Starwood Gold member and at $500+ per night I expect an exceptional level service. We won't return nor recommend this resort to friends and family. March 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IowaFarmWife Has everything you need or want We loved this hotel this past January. Very Relaxing and beautiful. It has everything but a swimup pool bar. We are going back for sure! We've been trying to re-book it for next January since we left and reservations haven't opened up yet??? March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by cmc75 BEAUTIFUL RESORT Well maintained and beautiful resort. Although the resort prices on food is a bit high, the quality is excellent. Only negative issue during my vacation, was an employee asking for a tip, vice staying focused on doing their job. I felt a times, there was a sense of entitlement with employees and they should be reminded why they were there. March 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Guest Customer service needs management attention The resort itself was amazing , however, a bit tired, lobby needs help but what kept our rating from being over the top, a number, indeed not all of the staff need to raise the bar on customer service. I was told in a very unprofessional manner to get off the dock while taking pictures of the sunset do to the expected arrival of the Westin Ferry. Not sure why my presence would be a concern even so the discourteous manner in which I was asked to leave should be a deep concern to management. Very rarely did the staff driving golf carts ask us if we needed a lift to and from the lobby, restaurant etc, and finally with the exception of Carlos at the front desk trying to arrange for early morning departure was a mini nightmare. Carlos saved the day and should be rewarded for stepping in and actually providing customer service March 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPGVIP19 Another Disappointing Stay My family along with my in-laws were at the resort this past February to celebrate my MIL's retirement and a wedding anniversary. It is too much to cover in one review, but the majority of the stay was a disaster. Before I go into some of the details, I want to say up front, the staff itself is wonderful and very nice but the Management is incompetent. We were placed in the incorrect accommodations and were told different stories and reasons as to why from multiple "managers" on site (we were never moved to the correct accommodations) and the Villa that were placed in was in awful condition. Items such as the ceiling fan, dishwasher, and microwave were broken or barely usable. In addition, the filth in the room was so bad, that there were piles of dirt in the bathroom. In fact, the Director of Rooms commented that the room would fail inspection since it was in such bad condition. After 4 days of being unhappy and complaining FINALLY our issues were addressed as our Villa was used as an opportunity to train the staff at the resort on how to ensure a room is ready for a guest to use. I was embarrassed for the resort that they could do this to a guest. This was a very special vacation which was ruined by incompetence at the resort and since I had a similar issue back in 2011, we will never return to the resort again. March 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great Location, but that is it!!! The location is great, but it is St. John's so that is not saying much. Upon arrival the Westin receptionist at the airport was not polite and offered little help. Found out that it cost 120 dollars for round trip ferry fee to and from the resort. Which was nice at first thought, but realized the ferry only ran until 5:30 which limited possible time spent on St. Thomas. We were charged a 40 dollar resort fee and we arrived at the hotel around 6:30PM that day and the last day when you have to check out at 11AM. As a platinum member, no room upgrade was given (well let me correct that statement). We were upgraded from Garden View to Pool View (NOTE: there was no view of the pool and on top of that, the additional noise from the kids and human traffic made it more of a downgrade). The room itself was in poor condition. It smelled like mildew, the bathroom was in need of a deep cleaning (stains on the floor, the bathtub drain was broken, there was mold everywhere in the shower), the AC unit barely worked (we had it set to 65 degrees and it never got below 75, and rarely blew cold air). There were stains on the dressers, which I could wipe off which is indicative of poor housekeeping. Worst part, 4 of the 6 days we found huge cockroaches in the bathroom. The staff at the restaurants were for the most part rude and not pleasant. Food was overall mediocre, nothing special. Extremely over-priced (which is to be expected). Resort is filled with families and children (which is fine if you want that sort of thing), but makes for early morning noise, noise at the pool, etc. I am a fiend (for lack of the better term) for SPG points. We used the green option to receive an additional 500 SPG points, however the island is windy and it blew off of our door every day but one. On top of that, we received the 5$ voucher and it mysteriously dissapeared from our room (so I was not able to received any additional points). Overall as a platinum member, I have had better experiences at 4 points. The location is great, but spend your money elsewhere. February 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeff Wonderful island, friendly staff but poor attention to guest problems We loved St. John and the Westin does provide a comfortable base from which to explore. However we encountered two problems not acceptable at this level of hotel service and price. We had a maintenance issue in the bathroom that, despite promises, was never attended to. But worse, there was renovation occuring in the room just below us; the use of wall-shaking power tools early in the morning was absolutely unacceptable. We did receive, after insisting, some minor financial compensation but the front desk staff seemed unconcerned with what was a major problem for a Caribbean "peace and quiet" vacation. February 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Boston79 Below Exepectations I will say that we have traveled to Caribbean resorts every winter for the past four years, and this Westin falls to the bottom of the list of our choice destinations. I would, unfortunately, agree with most of the reviews that say this hotel charges like a five star resort, but our experience was much more like a three star resort. First off, I am still struggling with the billing department to get our billing statement corrected. It has taken three plus attempts and they still cannot seem to straighten out that our package included breakfast (yet they charged for breakfast). They also had a charge on the bill from the last departing guests from our room for $100! I would also say the hotel just feels very much run down and in desperate need of a "face lift". The breakfast buffet was a huge disappointment each and every day. It amazes me that this hotel can't seem to figure out how to put together a "nice" and "eatable" buffet for $28 per person. The food in the hot plated area was stale and had obviously been sitting out for too long. The breakfast also lacked selection that we have seen at similar Caribbean hotels that offer buffet breakfast. We also found the staff to be very "hit or miss" in terms of their efforts to be friendly and helpful, or act as though they are doing us a favor. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this hotel and we will not be returning. February 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KymTracey Clean, beautiful and friendly propery We stayed here over New Years 2012 & were pleasantly surprised. We were staying on points and got upgraded to an amazing villa!! Thank you Westin!!!! Our unit was updated and very clean, we even had daily maid service. It was wonderful not to have to hurry in from the beach and shower to go to dinner, we BBQ most of the time. There is a nice starfish market 5 minutes down the street by cab. I don't know why there are so many negative reviews written. The property was just as clean & beautiful as it was 15years ago. The beach was nice and clean with plenty of chairs. We were a bit concerned w/ complaints about staff not being top notch but everyone we had contact w/ from the front desk to the pool bar to the snorkel gear was extremely friendly. Also the car rental on property was helpful in getting us a jeep for the day ( the island was sold out of Jeeps 2 months ago). My only complaint was the BUG BITES.. I had read on trip adviser ahead of time about this & did use bug spray but obviously not enough. By mid week I had 105 bites!!! OUCH.... We think most of them came from the early evenings when I would go out to the pool to BBQ. My family got very few bites & they seldom came out to the BBQ :-) The computers on the gym equipment didn't work to well & took a while to get started. We use the Westin Ferry from the airport & it was worth every dime!! January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddiemon Great Island get away! Our stay at the Westin St. John was very relaxing. I was amazed at the amount of children at the resort and I thought that noise would be a problem. The resort is spread out where this is not a problem at all. The staff were very nice and service was up to expectations. If you love hiking, snorkeling, and all water sports, St. John is a great island to stay at. We had a great time and can not wait to go back. January 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JKinJAX Just the attitude,,,,, I have to confirm what I was reading here. The rooms and the place is great - clean - great food etc. But there is a problem with the staff - they are correct and some what friendly - but they act like forced labor. Nobody really wants to work - nobody is really personal or goes the extra mile ( some exceptions - they red t-shirt water sport people were great...!) Reception was a disaster - few people inside were hiding - one person miserable trying to work on the line - forget the SPG member line. Nobody ever there. The shuttle service to drive you like to the parking and so ....they always fly by- try to catch them - good luck... nobody ever stopped and asked if need transport. Seating hostess and waitress - same thing. They are all correct but nobody is personal or goes the extra mile.Even The vacation / concierge people trying to run ...away ....Compared to other SPGs....this is a little strange. Again the place is beautiful - well taken care off and food is great. But staff as a group needs that adjustment that the customer is why they have that job...We really felt like we bother them every time we needed help like ordering food or something. Yeah somewhat disappointed. January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PeterVIP Westin St John exceeded expectations You arrive to a beautiful place that is even better than expected. At check-in, staff bend over backwards to welcome us and to recognize our SPG status. First class greeting for sure. They took us to our room with our luggage, but spent the time to take us around and show us the resort. This staff was proud to be here, and we could see that. The villa that we were upgraded to was WAY beyond our expectation. The housekeeping was outstanding too. Friendly, thorough, etc. Shuttles were always available. Staff is 5 star. All of our visit (it ends tomorrow) was outstanding. I cannot understand why some reports don't glow as they should. The only negative is the tiny Spa facility for my wife's nail treatment., and that didn't dampen our 5 star experience. We love this place, and our friends are coming for a wedding visit in two months. They too will be thrilled. January 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by bigfish2529 Still needs improvement This hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul both the cabana's (especially old wood exterior) and the service staff. This is a 3 star resort with 5 star prices. I spend 35 days/year in SPG properties and this continues to be the worst location. I would mention that I book SPG Hotels consistently while I am on the road because I have had a great experience at their other locations. Corporate headquarters needs to move quality employees that care and weed out the "systemic" bad service/attitude staffers. Not everyone just about 65% or so. I found the concierge and the front desk manager to be a few of the most competent and helpful people. I love this island and got married there so I keep coming back for a night or two to see if things have improved at this location and unfortunately they have not. Main issues on this trip…namely one of the staff cursed off my wife-unfortunately wasn't there to get her name, multiple golf carts blowing past me while I was carrying 3bags and a diaper bag around my head from the parking lot, slow service/attitude at pool bar. Dinning at the Beach Café was a pleasant surprise as the food has vastly improved. But basically I found myself not being able to let my guard down and not relax on vacation due to these issues. The final straw was the $240 roundtrip for two ferry service that dumped us off at Redhook on our return. The 9am departure on the schedule specifically noted Cruz Bay Marina which is minutes from the airport but our Westin ferry was routed to Redhook (most likely to save fuel costs) where we were dumped on the back of an outdoor taxi for the 40minute bumpy ride. Extra fun with a 6 month old and a nice experience to finish your vacation. January 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SAL555 Resort is beautiful Our 2 bedroom villa was amazing and very spacious and had a fabulous view of the bay. Loved the pool area and private beach. On the negative side, Cruz Bay water sports staff did not communicate to us what forms needed to be completed for the Virgin Gorda trip, nor did they tell us we needed cash for the customs fees. We found out about all of this as we were ready to board the boat. Very frustrating! Additionally, overall the food at the resort failed to impress us, it was mediocre at best. Cruz Bay Prime restaurant was somewhat better. And, if you don't like bugs, then be prepared! We even had the deet wristbands and used the deet spray when going out in the evenings, but were still eaten alive. January 4, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nyc982012 Please downgrade this hotel..not great or luxury Please down grade this hotel. This is a star 3. 1. Little to no service. Staff were rude and not helpful. Only staff that were great were the man and lady helping with restaurant reservations. And by the way, when my card didn't work in the ATM it was my problem. 2. Please get rid of the golf carts. I woke up every morning to them. Watch out walking on the path. 3. Gym - really not great. The buttons on the machines did not work well and could not watch tv 4. Room. Not bad but the tv did not work. Good luck having someone come fix this 5. Food was completely over priced and not that great. 6. Hotel completely outdated.Completely different than the picture 7. Great - pool and its in St. John December 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by HammerTime Overall Great Time Overall this is a great hotel..awesome pool, great beach, good bar and food, well kept grounds, clean rooms. Only two complaints would be the mosquitos and the friendliness of some of the staff (concierge? your job is to welcome guests and be attentive to their needs, be nice!) Great time! December 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nigel27 Not up to standards This hotel looks worn. Room amenities, beach mats, lounges, etc. need replacement. for this level of Starpoints, and a charge of $40/day, they should be much better. I've stayed at Sheratons hotels with better amenities for far fewer points. Tennis was non-existent for higher level players. Food at restaurant was not very good. After eating at restaurant on first night, we never went back. Our neighbors left unfinished food on the patio for a number of days, and the cleaning staff never removed it. So called "free" WIFI was virtually non-existent. December 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robyn62 Perfect location in St. John Considering the location of this hotel, we could not have found a more beautiful place to stay. The restaurants were great and the people are very accommodating. I was celebrating my 50th birthday and of course my husband made sure everybody knew it. They were all over it!! Each and everyone made me feel so special. What a wonderful team of employees. Neil (golf cart driver) was the man of the week. He was always johnny on the spot and was just a joy to get to know. Thanks a million, Neil!! December 19, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Darren87 Quality of stay far below expectations created by Westin's marketing campaign Resort marketing noted top notch accommodations with exceptional food and service...none of which were found to be true. Our initial room smelled of heavy mold and our second didn't smell much better. I called the service deck concerning the moldy smell in the first room and they verbalized they would call right back when aother room was located but we were never called back. After waiting 30 minutes I called the service desk again and they verbalized they had forgotten to check for another room or to call us back! Neither of the rooms had been cleaned...dirt and grass all over carpet on stairs and in each room. There was not a single wash rag in either of the two bathrooms. Decor was a bad 80's look and it appeared the room had not seen an update since original construction. Furniture was stained and not set up appropriately (cushions missing, lamp lights burned out, etc.) Staff at registration desk never smiled. or apologized for any of these problems. However, there were a couple of good points to mention. Our bed was very comfortable/clean, grounds were beautiful and a few select staff were very friendly and helpful. And given the Westin had a three night cancellation fee I was unable to afford to find my family another place to stay. Westin should have waived the cancellation fee after all the problems they caused us but I suppose that's why they lock you into the three night calcellation fee. Given the high expectations created by Westin's grand marketing campaign I felt like I really let my family down when we arrived. When we were checking out I really felt the cost of our stay should have been fully refunded given the circumstances. Westin had us backed into a corner with thier cancellation policy so we had no other choice but to stay and pay a huge rate for far less than average accomodations. December 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KDW92670 attention to detail We vacation somewhere about every other month. This was our first time to St Johns and we were impressed with the Westin. The resort is beautiful and well maintained however the staff from front desk to housekeeping was exceptional. If you needed something they were right there to take care of your every need. Great vacation. December 12, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alan627 Rooms need to be updated/remodeled. The rooms have not had any updating in 20 years. If you want to stay in a run down old hotel room then this resort is for you. If you want a nice newly furnished place to stay, look for someplace else. The outside grounds are kept very nice. The rooms are a disgrace to the Westin name. December 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by aron96 This hotel was a great vacation for my family and I. I came with my family for 1 week at the St. John Westin in November. We stayed in a 2 room villa. The accommodations were excellent. The beach was very nice. I would recommend this hotel. The regular hotel rooms are not nearly as nice as the villas, and I probably wouldn't stay in those. The transportation around the hotel is by calling for a golf caddy. This sometimes takes too long. Also, the bathrooms at the pool have a very bad smell. I would recommend them being cleaned more often. December 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Floridaguest99 Okay, not great. The choices on St. John are limited in this hotel category, so this may be as good as it gets. The good: Room was very nice and spacious. The work out room is fine and our massages were great. We stayed in the Villas up on the hill. The steakhouse, CB Prime, was excellent. The fair: A portion of the staff is slow and surly. Some of them provide great service and seem to care, but there is clearly a contingent that isn't motivated. The bad is the bugs. We're from Flirda and have noseeums, but they were absolutely ferocious. The view from our room was of the road which isn't very attractive. We were disappointed the front desk couldn't get us into our room earlier despite plenty of turnover the nighht before. December 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ezzie Excellent Hotel Just came back and wish we were still there. Had an awesome time. Everyone is so friendly. This year we didn't even leave the resort. The kids love the pool and water trampolines and especially Ezmerelda. (parrot). The food was delicious and the bar staff is awesome! Everyone goes out of their way to help with anything you need. We also took the boat Island Time to The Baths and Virgin Gorda. The boat crew was awesome. We love Cruz Bay Watersports too. Thanks. November 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by amanda224 Needs attention to be a 'Westin' This hotel is in a beautiful spot and one of only a couple of hotels on St. John. Upon checking in we were not greeted with a warm welcome by anyone on staff. The front desk clerk checked us in but did not go out of her way to acquaint us with the property, the facilities, or the island. When we arrived in our room, the first thing we noticed was a huge patch of the ceiling that was stained and crumbling from rain damage. it rained that evening and the rain came in through the ceiling. we moved rooms and while it didnt have a leak, it need an update as well. overall, not the quality one would expect from a Westin or a Starwood. November 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vetman89 average stay My stay with you was disappointing in that while the facilities were average, the cost was above average. I don't feel I got my money's worth. The meals in the Beach Bar and Grill were excellent, the Cruz Bay Prime was below average. I would think that when someone pays these prices, they should be thinking "Wow", and I wasn't. November 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mack15 Exceeded Expectations! After reading some of the reviews on this property, I had some concerns that we would be disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and the updated decor and great view from our hillside villa. We had a very quick checkin process and were upgraded to a larger one bedroom villa with a great view. We had rented a jeep so parking right outside our room was very convenient. We loved it!

With the Finals approaching and questions a'plenty surrounding the Lakers, there's nary a shortage of talking points this young offseason. Along with ESPNLA.com's Ramona Shelburne, we chop up the following:
- (2:54): The OKC Thunder pulled off what was the seemingly impossible, reversing a 2-0 Western Conference Finals deficit with four consecutive wins against the San Antonio Spurs, heretofore undefeated in the postseason. And in a nice bit of symbolism, they defeated the Mavs, Lakers and Spurs along the way, and those just happen to be the ONLY teams who've represented the west since 1998. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Serge Ibaka are all 23 or younger. Save perhaps luxury tax implications, can anything prevent OKC from becoming a sustained powerhouse, and can the Lakers be a part of that roadblock?
- (6:50): A note to NBA players who dig the no-lens glasses (and we're not judging this fashion trend, just making an observation): If you wanna wear them at the podium, where you'll be filmed from a distance, knock yourself out. But as Dwyane Wade demonstrated after the game 5 loss to OKC, those glasses look ridiculous while filmed in a media scrum from close up. You look like a kid doing a high school play.
- (12:30): However the Lakers retool the roster, they need to make sure the pieces complement each other. Star power alone doesn't guarantee wins. Just ask the Knicks. For that matter, any role players added must be more reliable and compatible as well.
- (16:30): The Lakers' cap issues are very real, and very hard to circumvent.
- (21:50): There are some Lakers fans rooting against the Thunder because they don't want to see Derek Fisher get a sixth ring before Kobe Bryant. Umm... why? Has the "Count the rings!!!" mantra really made us this literal-minded? I understand Mamba fans being prideful/protective of 24's legacy, but I can assure you, his first ballot Hall of Fame resume doesn't become diluted in the slightest by Fish owning one more chip. Trust me on this. I have a blog.
- (25:08): None of us are rooting for the Heat, but if they do happen to win a title, we're hoping a byproduct will be a change in the way fans and media talk about basketball.
- (29:00): If the Heat don't win, will it put an end to the "You must have a Big 3 to compete" narrative of the last couple seasons?
- (32:10): Metta Weatherman Peace!

If you were one of the 26,950 in attendence today at Stanford Stadium, you may have seen an pleasantly foreboding site as the team rushed onto the field just before gametime. After three days of overcast cloud cover and intermitant rain (including scattered showers earlier this day), the sun broke through and cast a warm glow on the home Cardinal. As luck would have it, good fortune did shine on this Stanford football team early and often in their 38-27 win over Arizona State.
The game could not have started any better for the Cardinal. On the kickoff ASU was flagged for a holding penalty that pinned them back deep in their own territory. After a five-yard run and an incompletion, the Sun Devils went to the air on third down but Andrew Walter threw an errant pass off the back of redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Silva, who had just entered the game for Stanford's 3-4 pressure defense. For the second straight week a ball deflected into the air and was picked off by an opportunistic Trevor Hooper. The redshirt freshman safety returned it five yards to the ASU 11-yardline, and the Card were in business.
Stanford brought out three tight ends, with Brett Pierce and Matt Traverso lined up tight and Alex Smith offset in the backfield as the fullback. Chris Lewis was under center and faked a handoff to tailback Kenneth Tolon. The defense bit while Lewis rolled out slowly and deep in the backfield to his left. The fifth-year senior QB had only one defender in front of him, which he beat in the open field with a quick juke and then a race into the endzone. After just one play on offense and with 13:59 still remaining in the first quarter, Stanford took a surprising 7-0 lead. It was just the beginning.
ASU would punt on their next possession, giving Stanford the ball on their own 17. Curiously, J.R. Lemon was in as the tailback instead of Tolon, and the offense showed a power formation with Cooper Blackhurst as the fullback and two TEs lined up tight. Lewis again went to play-action and threw deep for Luke Powell, though incomplete. The play did not work, but the Sun Devil defense was plenty perplexed and would play the rest of the possession back on their heels.
"The success we had today throwing the ball deep was by design," head coach Buddy Teevens commented afterward. "They pressured us, which we knew they would do. They wanted to stop the run. J.R. did a great job taking the ball inside, and then we went to play action. We did a nice job today keeping them off-balance."
And Lemon did indeed put ASU back on the defensive with three productive runs to move the ball in the series, including a big seven-yard pickup on second down that ignited the drive. An 11-yard carry later would push the ball into Sun Devil territory and set up the big strike.
After three Lemon runs for 22 yards, ASU was looking to stop him and bit on play-action when when Lewis threw the deep fade pattern to true freshman Evan Moore that Cardinal fans have been clamoring for all year. Moore had a good yard of separation on the smaller ASU defender, and smartly used his hands to keep that separation as the high-arching pass dropped right to him at the seven-yardline. Moore would carry the tackler with him as he fell forward to the one-yardline. The 47-yard play was a career long for Moore and the second longest offensive play for Stanford of the year. On the very next play Stanford went with the triple-I power running formation and saw Lemon bulldoze his way into the endzone.
If you arrived late to the game, you were probably shocked to see Stanford up 14-0 with more than half the first quarter still remaining. That 83-yard drive was the Cardinal's longest of the year, and it incredibly took just 2:28 off the clock. Frankly those are very un-Stanfordlike offensive numbers these days, though perhaps times are a-changing.
It looked like the good guys would have a chance to really pile on when ASU fumbled soon thereafter. Redshirt junior free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe made an open-field tackle on running back Loren Wade and stripped the ball as they both were headed to the ground. Stanford nose tackle Babatunde Oshinowo made a quick dive and landed on the free ball, handing Stanford another golden opportunity in excellent field position at the Sun Devil 20-yardline.
But the Card would not convert as they committed their first blunder of the day. Chris Lewis forced a pass under pressure toward redshirt junior wide receiver Greg Camarillo. The ball was deflected by the covering defender, was tipped up into the air by another defender on the ground and then caught by ASU defensive end Jimmy Verdon. The visiting Sun Devils picked up two first downs but punted the ball away harmlessly.
Stanford mounted another long scoring drive, this one covering 74 yards on nine plays spanning the first and second quarters. The two key conversions came at the start of the second quarter, when Lewis hit true freshman Mark Bradford on the sideline for an eight-yard gain and a first down on a 3rd & 4 situation at midfield. On the very next play Lemon took the ball on a cutback to the left side and rumbled for a 32-yard pickup down to the 10-yardline. The run was the longest for Stanford from scrimmage this year, and it set up the redshirt sophomore tailback for his second score of the game. This one came up the middle on the next play for 10 yards, and to be honest it looked very easy. The drive took just 3:30, and Stanford was in complete command, up 21-0
Lemon in particular was picking up big chunks of yardage, seemingly running in open space at the point of attack. When the Sun Devil defense thought Stanford was going to run, play-action was converting in the air. When ASU responded to Stanford's spread offensive formations in anticipation of the pass, Lemon tore them up on the ground.
"The draw plays were just working perfectly," Lemon opines. "We did a lot from our spread formations, and the defense had just six men in the box. Any running back worth his salt could have run against that.."
The 225-pound tailback from Sandy Creek HS in Fayetteville, GA logged career highs of 151 yards on 34 carries. That game-controlling 4.4 yards per carry was more than Arizona State could handle. Though Lemon humbly commented on his workload afterward.
"As a running back you want the ball in your hands as much as possible," he admits. "But at the same time you don't want to be selfish. This was a team win."
The Sun Devils would make a surge, though, with their own quick-strike drive. They started the next possession with the ball on their own 33, and on second down Walter found a wide-open Derek Hagan in the flat. The 6'2" sophomore receiver headed up the left sideline and would run around and through a woeful set of attempted Stanford tackles. Leigh Torrence was the first to whiff, barely getting one hand on Hagan. Then Stanley Wilson and Oshiomogho Atogwe would miss. The final gasp came from defensive tackle Scott Scharff. Hagan would run the final 30 yards easily into the endzone for the score and a temporary shot of energy into the lifeless visitors.
But that would be their last score of the half, as their horrific offense struggled to do anything consistent. Andrew Walter did not complete a pass the next two possessions, and their one first down in three possessions came on a very questionable pass interference. Walter was chucking every other pass deep down the field, in search of the big pass play. But the plays were not connecting. Prior to a hurry-up offense ASU enacted in the final minute of the second quarter, Walter had completed only three passes other than the flukish 67-yard catch and run. And those three completions totaled just 15 yards. There was no balance in the offense, either, as the running game was given only token attention.
Stanford on the other hand was firing on cylinders. On their last possession of the half, they drove 86 yards for their fourth touchdown of the game. The drive featured more running by Lemon, but also three passes to the tight ends. The first picked up 15 yards to Brett Pierce, while the next two found Alex Smith in the middle of the field. That final toss hit Smith just short of the goalline, and he fell over backwards to cross over for the score.
28-7. 295 yards of offense. What a half.
In the second half, the plot line was not all that dissimilar to the UCLA game a week ago. With Stanford protecting a lead, the offense went into a very conservative game plan. After a completely balanced first half that saw 24 runs and 24 passes, the second half saw Lewis attempt only 10 passes versus 29 rushes. In the fourth quarter, the Card threw only one pass versus 15 runs. There were plenty of Cardinalmaniacs™ who hoped to see their boys really pour it on, or perhaps push the edge of the envelope on some offensive statistics. For example, Stanford was stuck on 279 passing yards for the final 14:54 of the game.
Conservative though the offense may have been in the second half of play, the Card did travel 75 yards on the opening drive. Lemon carried the ball on the first three plays, and he would run three more times on the possession. But the key play came on a 33-yard toss to a Luke Powell on a flag pattern that put the ball at the ASU 20-yardline. The drive would push all the way to the four-yardline, but Stanford had to settle for a 22-yard Michael Sgroi field goal.
While a field goal is often viewed as a letdown, this pigskin that split the uprights was cause for some celebration. Though almost at extra-point distance, this kick was the first successful field goal for Stanford since September, when Sgroi hit a 28-yarder. He had missed his one field goal attempt in each of the USC, Washington State and Oregon games. No field goals were attempted last week against UCLA.
After a dismal first half, the Sun Devils found a groove in the second stanza offensively, connecting on medim and long passes. The first half production rested completely on that 67-yarder, but Walter completed 15 passes for 249 yards in the final 30 minutes. That led to three more touchdown scores, with the first coming midway through the third quarter. The touchdown pass hit Skyler Fulton from 19 yards out on a play where the Stanford defensive backfield (Leigh Torrence, in particular) looked a little confused and blew a coverage. ASU went for the two-point conversion to try and bring the deficit to just two scores, but Walter strangely threw the ball away high out of the back of the endzone.
At 31-13, the game was possibly competitive, though Stanford came back on the very next drive with an answer. The Card drove 78 yards in 12 plays, with the score coming on an improbable 3rd and 18 situation. Lewis again went over the top of the defense, this time finding Evan Moore in the endzone on another fade pattern. Moore made a spectacular catch and managed to hold onto the ball despite severely injuring himself as he came down with the ball. The 33-yard score was the first of Moore's young college career, and it was the fourth score this year by a true freshman. Unfortunately it was also Moore's last play of the game, as he was carted out away to the locker room.
That pass play was the first play of the fourth quarter, though it would be Stanford's final pass attempt of the game. Trent Edwards came into the game at quarterback and on one 3rd & 10 dropped back to pass but he had his clock cleaned on a sack that drove him right into the turf. Stanford ran the ball every other play the remainder of the quarter. Unsurprisingly, they did not again threaten to score.
Walter and ASU, on the other hand, drove twice successfully in the fourth quarter to turn a laugher of a 38-13 game into an annoying 38-27 final. Their last score came in meaningless fashion with just 2:05 remaining in the game and trailing three scores. The Sun Devils burned their three timeouts in the last five minutes of the game to that end, and the touchdown came only on a bounce of good fortune when Derek Hagan snagged a deflected pass in the back of the endzone on a 4th & goal from the eight-yardline.
That sunshine that had cast a warm glow onto the players and fans at kickoff was replaced in the second half by a steady rain that slowly increased in intensity. The inclement weather made those in attendence all the more irritated at the late antics by ASU to make the score respectable. But Stanford's players were not the least bit down about being drenched when the final gun sounded.
Though the second half saw the visitors play a futile and irritating game of catch-up, this was a game to be celebrated - particularly on offense. And at the helm was a smiling Chris Lewis, who threw for 279 yards on 18-for-34 passing in three quarters. He threw two touchdowns and rushed for one more.
"He, like the offense, continues to grow," Teevens praises. "This has been a long process, especially for the young guys. Finishing people off is something we need to work on, but it's also something we aren't used to," he notes with a grin.
"I feel like I get more and more comfortable each game," Lewis adds. "Coach [Teevens] has really challenged us the last few weeks to improve our execution in the redzone. The offensive line is really coming together, too. Today was the best I've seen from the all season. I feel like we're just starting to shine - we've only scratched the surface."
Though this was an offensive breakout game for Stanford, you have to give a lot of credit to the defense for what they did to win the game in the first half. Though the 'D' did not come up with the sack numbers seen last week against UCLA, they put enough pressure on Walter to disrupt his timing on the long pass attempts.
"I don't know that we are doing anything different," redshirt junior defensive tackle Amon Gordon says about the defense's surge the last two weeks. "Everybody is just playing their responsibilities. Nobody has slacked off. When you work hard every week, good things happen. We have worked hard all year, and the good things were not happening for a while there, but it's coming now."
"This is what I'm used to," Gordon says of the two straight wins. "This is what we're all used to."
Gordon record the second most tackles on the day for Stanford with six, including one for a loss. But with ASU mostly passing the ball in the game, the defensive front seven for Stanford were not often in a position to make tackles. That fell to the secondary, where Atogwe led the team with 11 tackles, including six solo efforts. He had his won tackle for a loss, plus a pair of breakups and two forced fumbles.
Sophomore cornerback T.J. Rushing was second on the team in solo tackles with five, including the team's only sack (seven yards). Rushing and his fellow cornerbacks worked overtime in this game, chasing ASU receivers to all corners of the field while Walter played a super-sized game of lawn darts. The coverage was good for most of the game until the Sun Devils put together several rather sensational catches in the fourth quarter. The Stanford corners were also flagged for three pass interference calls.
Back on offense, Lewis did a balanced job spreading the ball around. Seven different targets caught balls, including seven to tight ends. Six of those went to Alex Smith, his highest number of the year. He now has 10 receptions in his last two games for 87 yards.
"I think we're just making more of an emphasis," he offers on the tight end involvement in the passing game of late. "They want to get the ball in our hands and see what we can do. Give credit to the coaches, though. They put together a good gameplan. There was definitely an emphasis this week in practice. I was prepared and ready."
The game pulls Stanford back to .500 at their current 4-4 record, which seemed like an unattainable goal just two short weeks ago when they were riding a four-game skid and had been blanked in Eugene. Now all of a sudden, they are two wins away in their final three from becoming bowl eligible. That is a possibility that has to be discussed by these Stanford players now. Teevens is not mentioning bowl games yet, however.
"It's one, two, three, four and then we're looking at five," he describes of the wins. "We never look too far forward, never look too far back. Just like our emotional consistency - never too high, never too low.
The Cardinal travel next week to Corvallis to play Oregon State, who had a bye this week. Stanford will finish the season with four of their final seven opponents taking byes before playing the Card. Notre Dame will also have a bye before the Thanksgiving weekend regular season finale at Stanford Stadium.

A celebrated German theologian, preacher and ascetic writer, born at Cochem, a small town on the Moselle, in 1630; died in the convent at Waghäusel, 10 September, 1712. He came of a family devotedly attached to the Faith, and while still young entered the novitiate of the Capuchins, where he distinguished himself by his fervour and his fidelity to the religious rule. After his elevation to the priesthood, he was assigned to a professorship of theology, a position which for several years he filled most creditably. However, it was in another sphere that he was to exercise his zeal and acquire fame. Of the evils which befell Europe in consequence of the Thirty Years War, the plague was by no means the least, and when, in 1666, it made its appearance in the Rhenish country, such were its ravages that it became necessary to close the novitiates and houses of study. Just at this crisis, Father Martin was left without any special charge and, in company with his fellow monks, he devoted himself to the bodily and spiritual comfort of the afflicted. What most distressed him was the religious ignorance to which a large number of the faithful had fallen victims on account of being deprived of their pastors. To combat this sad condition, he resolved to compose little popular treatises on the truths and duties of religion, and in 1666 he published at Cologne a résumé of Christian doctrine that was very well received. It was a revelation to his superiors, who strongly encouraged the author to continue in this course.
Thenceforth Father Martin made a specialty of popular preaching and religious writing and, in the Archdioceses of Trier and Ingelheim, which he traversed thoroughly, multitudes pressed about him, and numerous conversions followed. The zealous priest continued these active ministrations up to the time of his death, and even when he had passed his eightieth year he still went daily to the chapel of his convent, where, with the aid of an ear-trumpet, he heard the confessions of the sinners who flocked to him. The intervals between missions he devoted to his numerous writings, the most voluminous of which is an ecclesiastical history in 2 vols, fol., composed for apologetic purposes and provoked by the attacks made upon the Church by Protestantism. However, the author brought it down only to the year 1100. Father Martin's other works embrace a great variety of subjects: the life of Christ, legends of the saints , edifying narratives, the setting forth of certain points in Christian asceticism , forms of prayer, methods to be followed for the worthy reception of the sacraments, etc. These widely different themes have as points of similarity a pleasing, graceful style, great erudition, and a truly seraphic eloquence. They bespeak for their author sincere piety and deep religious sentiment, coupled with an intimate knowledge of the popular heart and the special needs of the time. But the best known of all the learned Capuchin's works is unquestionably "Die heilige Messe", upon which, according to his own statement, he spent three entire years, perusing Holy Writ , the councils, Fathers and Doctors of the Church , and the lives of the saints, in order to condense into a small volume a properly abridged account of the Holy Sacrifice. As soon as it appeared this book proved a delight to the Catholics of Germany, nor has it yet lost any of its popularity, and, since its translation into several languages, it may be said to have acquired universal renown.
It demanded a great expenditure of energy on the part of the worthy religious to bring these undertakings to a successful issue. Even when in his convent he spent most of the day in directing souls and following the observances prescribed by the Capuchin Rule, hence it was time set aside for sleep that he was wont to give to his literary labours. Sometimes after the Office of Matins he would obtain permission of the superior to go to Frankfort to confer with his publisher and, this accomplished, he would return on foot to his convent at Königstein, catechizing little children, hearing confessions, and visiting the sick along the way. While still in the midst of his labours he was attacked by an illness to which he soon succumbed, at the age of eighty-two. The works published during Father Martin's lifetime are: "Die Kirchenhistorie nach der Methode des Baronius und Raynaldus bis 1100" (Dillingen, 1693): "Die christliche Lehre"; "Heilige Geschichten und Exempel"; "Wohlriechender Myrrhengarten" (Cologne, 1693); "Büchlein über den Ablass" (Dillingen, 1693); "Exorcismen und für Kranke" (Frankfort, 1695); "Goldener Himmelsschlüssel" (Frankfort, 1695); "Gebetbuch für Soldaten" (Augsburg, 1698); "Anmuthungen während der heiligen Messe" (Augsburg, 1697); "Die Legenden der Heiligen" (Augsburg, 1705); "Leben Christi" (Frankfort, 1689; Augsburg, 1708); "Gebete unter der heiligen Messe" (Augsburg, 1698); "Kern der heiligen Messe" (Cologne, 1699); "Liliengarten" (Cologne, 1699); "Gebetbuch für heilige Zeiten" (Augsburg, 1704); "Die heilige Messe für die Weitleute" (Cologne, 1704); "Traktat über die göttlichen Vortrefflichkeiten" (Mainz, 1707); "Geistlicher Baumgarten" (Mainz and Heidelberg, 1709); "Neue mystische Goldgruben" (Cologne, 1709); "Exemepelbuch" (Augsburg, 1712). This list does not include all the author's writings. In 1896 there appeared a small work never before published, "Das Gebet des Herzens", which at the end of its third year went into a seventh edition.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

On the morning of Wednesday May 6th, we packed the courthouse at the Ontario Court of Appeals for an important legal fight to end part of the injustice of immigration detention.
A group of detainees indefinitely imprisoned in Ontario filed an application in the Ontario Courts called a habeas corpus last December, challenging Canada to prove that their long term detention is justified. Michael Mvogo, one of the applicants, has been jailed for nearly 10 years. Glory Anawa, another one of the applicants, has been imprisoned for nearly two years. Her son, Alpha, was born in an immigration jail and has spent his entire life in prison. The Ontario Superior court recently declined to hear the application. On May 6th, lawyers for the detainees appealed the decision insisting that the Ontario courts must assert jurisdiction.
For the past ten years, No One Is Illegal - Toronto has organized the city's Annual May Day of Action for the celebration and reassertion of our commitment to migrant justice struggles and decolonization.
This year, we were part of a coalition of three community groups: No One Is Illegal - Toronto, Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, and the Latin American and Caribbean Solidarity Network (LACSN). For our 10th May Day, we joined thousands of community members, friends, and supporters to rally and march, holding up a banner that read "Migrants don't steal jobs. Capitalists and Corporations do".
Although Canada continues to enact policies and legislation that facilitate the global temporariness and casualization of labor by allowing corporate greed and racist border enforcement to collude and entrench a revolving door immigration policy, it is migrant workers who have been wrongfully scapegoated for what capitalism has brought. To this effect, we insisted: #KnowYourEnemy.
On April 29th migrants and allies rallied at the Italian Consulate in Toronto to insist no more migrant deaths! More than 1,750 migrants have died since January 2015 trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to find dignity and safety in Europe. Read more on why, here.
As supporters held up signs reading, 'Stop migrant deaths. Borders kill. We are all responsible', Tzazna Miranda of Justicia for Migrant Workers, spoke to those gathered about the connection between Fortress Europe border policies and those of Fortress America where thousands of people perish crossing in to the United States each year. The sombre note was markedly elevated by the presence of four 'body bags' on the pavement, symbolizing all the lives lost.
Join us at the Italian Consulate in Toronto on April 29th, at 1:15pm, at 136 Beverly Street (Dundas & Beverly) to insist no more migrant deaths!
More than 1,750 migrants have died since January 2015 trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to find dignity and safety in Europe. European Union border policies shut out poor and racialized migrants, particularly Eritreans, Somalis, and Libyans, forcing them to get on dangerous boats to cross the water. At the same time, funding for search and rescue operations has been cut, imposing a death sentence on many that are making their way to Europe.

Janesville Police: Man shoots, injures sister after mistaking her for intruder
Janesville Police say a 20-year-old man shot and wounded his 13-year-old sister after he thought she was an intruder.
The shooting happened around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday at a home in the 3300 block of Spaulding Avenue.
Officers say 20-year-old Sidney Johnson was visiting his family's home, and didn't know his sister was there.
His 13-year-old sister was sleeping, and awoke when Johnson arrived. She made her way to the laundry room, trying not to be seen since she still had to get dressed.
Johnson heard someone moving around, and assumed it was an intruder.
Police say Johnson took his father's gun, and shot through the laundry room door.
The 13-year-old girl suffered injuries to her right arm and the right side of her torso. She was treated and released from the hospital.
Deputy Police Chief Dan Davis says the department plans to arrest Johnson, saying that firing at someone without seeing them is reckless.

Hayden Selfe, the boy who triumphed over bullies to write Hatchling Heroes
- From: news.com.au
- March 15, 2013
- Hayden Selfe writes debut novel, Hatchling Heroes
- Diagnosed with Asperger's, was bullied at school
- Book 'promotes that difference is OK'
- Follow @KateMidena on Twitter
BULLYING affects one in four Australian kids. Meet the boy who turned his high school torment into a hero's tale.
Eighteen-year-old West Australian Hayden Selfe, who was diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder when he was four, is about to release his first novel.
"I was on holidays and normally I would be spending most of my time playing games or reading, but I didn't have any of those things around," says Hayden of penning Hatchling Heroes, book one in a fantasy series about a young girl on a quest to be accepted into the Order of the Goddess Minda.
"I had these thoughts in my head that kept going round and round and I was bored, but I had my computer so I thought, why not write them down? Hatching Heroes kind of just wrote itself. The ideas just kept coming as I typed them into my computer and it just evolved from there."
"He was a pain in the neck actually!" interjects Hayden's mum, Gail. "We were in Tasmania and we were driving around looking at all these amazing spots and he just wasn't interested at all. He wouldn't get out of the car. And when we forced him to get out of the car he argued incessantly. But it was all worth it in the end."
It was indeed worth it. Hayden's book, due to hit shelves in April, is tangible evidence of how far he's come since high school.
"I can't say that the first high school I went to was perfect, not by a long stretch. I'm slightly weird and slightly antisocial," Hayden concedes.
"Because he has Asperger's he is a little bit different and does things that don't quite fit the norm," adds Gail, "so of course other kids picked up on that right away. They would just do things that would push his buttons because they knew he would explode if they did and they could get a reaction from him.
"They'd wait for him in the playground and that was quite hard. Hayden paces a lot when he thinks, and paces around things like trees or poles or people, and he doesn't look where he's going and it makes him stand out quite a lot. And the kids would tease him and get quite physical with him.
"The worst time was when they videoed Hayden being taunted and put it up on YouTube. They stood in a circle around him and Hayden was swinging his bag around trying to break out until a teacher came in to get him out of there. But it wasn't like that was a once off - these things happened every day."
Hayden developed severe depression in Year 10, which is not uncommon for Asperger's sufferers. Asperger's is an autism spectrum disorder which is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and forming friendships, an inability to adhere to social norms, repetitive behaviour and a narrow area of interests. Unlike autism, however, there are often no delays in language and learning, and many Asperger's sufferers have above average intelligence.
"In general school was a real trial," Gail, who is a teacher, said. "It wasn't academic at all for him, he just didn't want to come to school. It was just too hard. We find with a lot of Asperger's students, they know that they are smart and that they can academically do things, but it's still that challenge - those thoughts keep coming in like, why aren't I the same as everybody else, why are you picking on me for something I can't help? He just kept saying, is this worth it, should I keep going, why is this happening, why am I alive, why do I bother, things like that?"
Something had to give, and for Hayden, it was the mainstream school. In Year 11 Hayden moved into a senior education facility called the Career Enterprise Support Centre, which focuses on getting people with special needs into the workforce.
It was there that Hayden was able to obtain a Certificate Two in hospitality, which eventually led to a traineeship at McDonald's - and more time for creating stories.
But given that Hayden describes himself as being "overly analytical and logical", how did he find himself writing fantasy?
"Well, I've always been into things like Dungeons and Dragons, and Artemis Fowl and those types of books. Most people think that when you get into fantasy and magic logic gets thrown at the window, but it doesn't - it actually plays a great part. There are rules in magic - in any fantasy series you'll find that magic has some rules somewhere and follows a certain path of logic. A plot is about logic. Character progression is about logic," he said.
With at least two more books in the series to come, the response from preview copies of Hatchling Heroes has been overwhelmingly positive.
"I think it's because the book promotes that difference is okay," says Gail. "It's okay to have Asperger's and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
"Already we've had feedback from people who have children with Asperger's who just say, this is so great because it's showing my child that being different is fine. I just had a parent overnight ring me up and say 'My son's just read your book, it was awesome, he never had any interest in English before but now he's reading and he's realised that having Asperger's means that he can do extra things. We would just love if that attitude reached everyone, across all schools."
"Great things don't always come from great people with great ideas," agrees Hayden. "Great things come from normal people who work hard."

Autism Rocks! Posted at 4:16 PM March 15, 2013
My son's Mum of Brisvegas, then your son has Autism. The DSM IV distinguishes Aspergers from Autism as one having language delay and the other not. If your child has a language delay then they do not qualify for the diagnosis of Aspergers as the DSMIV stands. My child has Autism and is in every way like a child with Aspergers but he has a receptive and expressive language delay and therefore does not fit the diagnosis criteria for Aspergers. When the new DSM V comes out there will be no Aspergers as a diagnosis, just a general Autism diagnosis with a scale of severity and this is the way it should be as really they are not different disorders they just, as you say, affect people in different ways. Good on this young man for rising above perceptions and proving he is just as good if not better than his school yard bullies.

We are very very proud parents of an 'Aspie' and to us the differences our child has are celebrated (though our child doesn't always see it that way). School and social interactions are a daily trial and our heart hurts with every display of bullying and ignorance by others. Good on you Hayden and thank you.

I've always said that success is the best revenge! You go Hayden :)

CPI up 0.6 percent in October
November 18, 2004
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent in October 2004, following a 0.2-percent rise in September.
Energy costs, which had declined in each of the preceding three months after advancing sharply in the first half of the year, increased 4.2 percent in October, accounting for over half of the advance in the overall CPI-U. Within energy, the index for petroleum-based energy increased 8.5 percent, while the index for energy services declined 0.9 percent.
The index for food, which was unchanged in September, rose 0.6 percent in October. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 0.2 percent in October, following a 0.3-percent rise in September.
During the first ten months of 2004, the CPI-U rose at a 3.9-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 1.9 percent for all of 2003.
For the 12-month period ended in October, the CPI-U rose 3.2 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. For more information, see Consumer Price Index: October 2004 (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-2340.

LET'S FACE FACTS, the judges on "American Idol" do less actual judging than the "judges" at Philadelphia Traffic Court.
Their purpose is to cheerlead and create drama and give viewers some name recognition to latch on to while they learn the names of the new batch of karaoke singers.
Judging chemistry is hard to duplicate, and "American Idol" has been floundering around since the original trio of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, mixing in KaraDioGuardi, Ellen DeGeneres, JenniferLopez and StevenTyler before adding this year's newbies.

Batman fan-film picks up after Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' trilogy
(CBR) Devotees of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy — particularly those who hoped a follow-up might center on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's John Blake — may find a lot to enjoy in "The Dark Knight Legacy", a seven-minute fan film that debuted this morning on Machinima.
Directed by Brett Register from a script by Woody Tondorf and Chris Landa, the short picks up a year after the events of The Dark Knight Rises, as Blake (as Nightwing) tries to "protect the symbol of Batman from the lethal, relentless attacks of a masked vigilante known only as the Red Hood." (Fan-favorite character Stephanie Brown also makes an appearance.)
The producers hope to transform "The Dark Knight Legacy" into an actual series, and to that end they've turned to Indiegogo in an effort to raise $30,000. Watch the video below.

Your husband or wife can encourage good lifestyle habits, researchers say
Dietary changes, other meds and even surgery also can help lower cholesterol levels, study finds
This class is exclusive to the patients who are a part of the Medical Weight Loss program. Various topics related to fitness, nutrition, and behavior will be covered.
Please note our support group is only available to patients of Dr. Eileen Javellana. There is no need to sign up for this group. This group is not suitable for children or adolescents. If you do not have childcare, please plan to attend a later group.
One of the first key decisions you must make when you become pregnant is whether to find either an OB/GYN or a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). This process can take time and research, but it is important for your happiness and comfort level throughout your pregnancy.
While there are important differences between the two, the distinction is not as stark as it once was. In fact, the majority of CNMs deliver babies in hospitals now and more and more OB/GYNs are adopting a more holistic approach. If you are undecided about which to choose, meet with one of each and talk to them about your ideal birthing experience.
To help you start your search, here are the OB/GYNs and CNMs who deliver at the Gwinnett Women's Pavilion:

In the last few years a great deal of progress has been made in elucidating the physiology of the thyroid gland and in establishing some of the relationships of its function to the pituitary gland and the body cells. As a result of this progress thyrotoxicosis is treated with greater effectiveness. The drugs which have been of greatest aid are iodine, cyanides, thiocyanates, sulfonamide compounds and thioureas. Since these substances inhibit the function of the thyroid gland, they are spoken of as antithyroid drugs. This is true in spite of the fact that they may increase the work of the gland, as evidenced by the marked hyperplasia and hypertrophy which they produce in the thyroid.
The effectiveness of iodine in the treatment of goiter was described more than a hundred years ago by Coindet.1 Nevertheless, its popularization in the treatment of toxic goiter was brought about by Plummer

ASU's New Sparky Trashed After 3 Weeks
March 20th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
Arizona State made a big to-do about the new-look Sparky it unveiled on March 1 … only to shelve the mascot's updated look just three weeks later.
The new, cuddlier-looking Sparky was meant to appeal more to younger fans in the form of comic books, children's books and cartoons, only to be met with a torrent of backlash from the ASU community. As a result, school officials announced on Tuesday that students, alumni, fans, faculty and staff can vote online from April 22 to May 5 on what the new Sparky's head and face should look like.
It just can't be called a Sun Devil if it doesn't look demonic.

In China, Maura Cunningham says, if you're going to hold an online discussion of the Tiananmen Square massacre, you'd better speak in code.
Don't mention June 4, the date the tanks rolled against unarmed protesters. Instead, try "May 35th" - a count of that month's 31 days plus four in June. It's a way around the censors and to avoid the lurking presence of the state security apparatus.
The game being played between citizen and government isn't exactly cat-and-mouse, said Cunningham, a scholar of Chinese history from Philadelphia.
It's more like Whac-A-Mole.
On Thursday, Cunningham, 31, will explore new and ominous shifts in digital media and dissent at what is expected to be a crowded St. Joseph's University conference on Tiananmen, timed to the 25th anniversary of the 1989 protests.
