Vowing to "become the man my mother raised me to be," a Frankford man who admitted raping four women between 2007 and 2012 was sentenced Thursday to 35 to 100 years in prison by a Philadelphia judge.
Matthew Jones, 30, apologized several times to his victims and promised Common Pleas Court Judge Donna Woelpper that he would rehabilitate himself and pay restitution to crime victims while working in prison.
"I am truly sorry for all the hurt that I caused," Jones said as his mother, sister, grandmother, and young daughter wept in the rear of the gallery.

|Nothosaurus skeleton restoration in Berlin
|Scientific classification

|Type species
|†Nothosaurus mirabilis
Münster, 1834
Genus synonymy
Species synonymy
Nothosaurus ("false lizard", from the Ancient Greek nothos (νόθος), "illegitimate", and sauros (σαῦρος), "lizard") is an extinct genus of sauropterygian reptile from the Triassic period, approximately 240-210 million years ago, with fossils being distributed from North Africa and Europe to China. It is the best known member of the nothosaur order.
A complete skeleton of the species Nothosaurus raabi, now a synonym of N. marchicus, can be seen in the Natural History Museum in Berlin.
Nothosaurus was a semi-oceanic animal which probably had a lifestyle similar to that of today's seals. It was about 4 metres (13 ft), with long, webbed toes and possibly a fin on its tail.[1] When swimming, Nothosaurus would use its tail, legs, and webbed feet to propel and steer it through the water. The skull was broad and flat, with long jaws, lined with needle teeth, it probably caught fish and other marine creatures. Nothosaurus hunted by sneaking up slowly on prey, such as shoals of small fish, then putting on a last-minute burst of speed[citation needed]. Trackways attributed, partly by process of elimination, to a nothosaur, that were reported from Yunnan, China in June 2014, were interpreted as the paddle impressions left as the animals dug into soft seabed with rowing motions of their paddles, churning up hidden benthic creatures that they snapped up.[2] Once caught, few animals would be able to shake themselves free from the mouth of Nothosaurus.
In many respects its body structure resembled that of the much later plesiosaurs, but it was not as well adapted to an aquatic environment. It is thought that one branch of the nothosaurs may have evolved into plesiosaurs such as Liopleurodon, a short-necked plesiosaur that grew up to 6.4 metres (21 ft), and the long-necked Cryptoclidus, a fish eater with a neck as long as 1.3 metres (4.3 ft).
There are over a dozen known species of Nothosaurus. The type species is N. mirabilis, named in 1834 from the Germanic Muschelkalk. Other species include N. giganteus (previously known as Paranothosaurus) from Osnabrück, Germany;[3] N. juvenilis, also from Germany;[4] N. edingerae from the Upper Muschelkalk and Lower Keuper;[5] N. haasi and N. tchernovi from Makhtesh Ramon, Israel;[6][7] N. cymatosauroides from the Spanish Muschelkalk;[8] N. jagisteus from the Upper Muschelkalk of Hohenlohe, Germany;[9] and N. youngi, N. yangjuanensis, N. rostellatus and the recently named gigantic N. zhangi from Guizhou, China.[10][11][12][13] Several species have been described from the Lower Muschelkalk in Winterswijk, the Netherlands, including N. marchicus[14] (and its junior synonym[15] N. winterswijkensis[14]) and the recently named N. winkelhorsti.[16]
|Cladogram of species of Nothosaurus
|Klein and Albers (2009)[16] didn't test the monophyly of Nothosaurus, as other nothosaurids weren't included.
Several other species have been named but are know generally considered invalid. One such species, N. procerus, is now considered a junior subjective synonym of N. marchicus.[17][18] Other species now considered junior synonyms of N. marchicus include N. crassus, N. oldenburgi, N. raabi, N. schroderi, N. venustus and the recently named N. winterswijkensis.[15] Junior synonyms of N. giganteus, the second largest Nothosaurus species, include N. andriani, N. angustifronis, N. aduncidens, N. baruthicus and N. chelydrops.[13]
A species level phylogenetic analysis of Nothosauridae was performed by Liu et al. (2014), and included all known valid species of the family and Nothosaurus apart from Lariosaurus stensioi (type of Micronothosaurus), Nothosaurus cymatosauroides, and Ceresiosaurus lanzi. Due to the inclusion of other nothosaurids other than Nothosaurus, the monophyly of Nothosaurus was tested for the first time. The analysis found both Lariosaurus and Nothosaurus to be polyphyletic in regard to each-other and all the other genera of the family, making a systematic revision of these two genera necessary. Below, their results are shown with type species of named nothosaurid genera noted.[13]
In popular culture[edit]
In the Rite of Spring segment of Disney's Fantasia, Nothosaurus is briefly depicted; feeding its young and as the anachronistic prey of Dimetrodon.
Nothosaurus was featured in the 2003 BBC series Sea Monsters, a spin-off of the successful Walking with Dinosaurs (1999). Nigel Marven kept two of them at bay with an electric tazer, before realizing that they meant no harm. He then clamped down on their jaws with his hands, as is done with crocodilians in the present, to see how they would react. They then swam away.
In the 1933 film Son of Kong, a sequel to the original King Kong, Kong fights with a giant Nothosaurus, and kills it.

Historical Traveler Reviews Quality Hotel On the Beach Clearwater
Great Experience
Stayed at Quality Hotel on the Beach over Memorial Day weekend. Great experience. Entire staff was very professional and helpful. We received a room better than the one we reserved because it was the only one that was non-smoking and ocean-front. No excuses, they took care of us without any prompting on our part. Rooms are not ritzy, but clean and comfortable. The staff also did a nice job of keeping the hotel facilities and parking solely for guest use (no easy task on a big holiday weekend in Clearwater Beach). Would definitely stay there again. Pricey, but worth it.
Comments written by the manager?
were all of those comments written by the manager? Or have you never been to the hotel? I went to the hotel and i can say that there were no major faults, appart from that fact that it was tiny and old. The miss leading comments let me to believe that this hotel was beautiful, but when i got there i was amazed. Even the econolodge next door looked better than this. The beach that was 'soo beautiful', was a nice beach, but it was dirty, and the sea was filled constantly with boats. I can say that the rooms were adaquate but could have been a little bigger, and a few more amenities would have made it nicer. In my a opinion, the shephards beach is ALOT! nicer.
This hotel was great. We were a little nervous since the last review written was bad. Yes, it is an older hotel but it was recently redone, clean, friendly, easy to get to. This was a celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have expected anymore.
Very disappointed !
This is not a 3 star resort! Oh I was sooo disappointed! I have researched every single hotel in Clearwater and chose this one from all the wonderful reviews. This hotel is great if you are only paying about $50.00 to$70.00 a night. Our room was 190.00 w/tax !! Well let's see from the moment we entered this hotel it smelled like a barnyard. The lobby & hallways were dirty. The beach had cigarates and some trash as far as you can walk. The rooms were nicer we were on the 5th floor ocean view ( which was a beautiful view) Found blood on my pillowcase? But I can see how that can be overlooked (I guess) I have to say the staff was very friendly! Let us choose from 2 rooms. Please choose Sheraton Sand key the beach is huge,clean & beautiful! or Raddison across the street they were wonderful hotels or if your on a budget we loved Sheppard's beach resort! We had great time the have a live band & food all day & night. Good luck :(
Loved it!!!
The Quality Inn on the Beach in Clearwter, Fl is a nice hotel. It has a bohemian feel to it and it doesn't feel like a chain. We stayed March 13th to the 16th. The best thing about our stay was the service. They gave us a room change the next morning after a late arrival the night before sent us to a smoking floor. Gary, the Host/manager at Ihop which is attached to the hotel gave us great room service every morning we were there. After returning home we relized we had left our MP3 player in a bag in the room when we check out. After calling and telling them about it, it was sent to us the next week. I highly recommend this hotel for it's location and service! We will be back!
The same hotel?
i read the reviews and thought that the hotel must be lovely, but im afraid it wasnt.
What a view
stayed down in clearwater for the night and had a look at a few of the hotels along gulfview blvd, i had the entertainment card so decided to check out rates for this hotel , the receptionist couldnt have been any more attentave or friendly and gave me several room keys to have a look around at my own pace. we decided on a gulf view room on the top floor one of the best rooms i'm told and they werent wrong as the room was huge with a large balcony and huge side window also amd the view was spectacular i cant rate this hotel high enough and the staff also. i was dissapointed to head back to orlando to stay at the hard rock and that is also a great hotel but the view from the quality inn takes some beating.
Great Experience
I loved this hotel. I was looking for a reasonably quiet, reasonably priced, clean hotel on the beach with a balcony. This hotel had all of that and more. I ordered from the attached IHOP twice. They deliver for a small fee. Both times food was excellent. Staff was friendly. Only drawback was location of phone jacks for laptops (bring a long phone cord). This was one of the best places I've ever visited. I would love to go back again.
Fantastic...can't wait to go back one day....
My husband and I checked in to the Quality Hotel October 20th. Heading back to Michigan after staying a week in Cape Coral. Found a great rate in the roomsaver book....and it provided us with a great location on the beach. In fact, we were signed up for one night and decided to sign up for another. Would of stayed longer but knew we better go now or we'll never leave. Quality has clean rooms, a very polite staff and a great beach to relax and watch for dolphins. they have a Tiki Bar on the beach and are walking distance to the Shepard Tiki Bar, fun place to be!
Can't wait to go back!!! Will definitely check back in to the Quality and will go on the "Sea Screamer", big yellow off shore boat.....
Great value!
We stayed at the Quality Hotel on the Beach and it was the best money we ever spent! It is a wonderful place for families. Our 20 month old son loved it! Clean and convenient. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation!

Our first full day in Florida

The water there was crystal clear and the sand was very fine and filled with many varieties of sea shells. We stayed as late as we could watching the sunset directly ahead of us dropping behind the clouds at water level. Just gorgeous! We vowed to return there and stay for a few days during our next Florida visit ...

Allegro at Four Seasons, Prague: The Best Restaurant in the Czech Republic
Dine on the banks of the celebrated Vltava River in one of the hottest spots in Prague. From the outdoor terrace at Allegro in the Four Seasons, soak in the views of the Prague Castle. Named the best restaurant in the Czech Republic for 2005 and 2006 by Zagat Europe, Allegro serves refined Italian cuisine with flair. Executive Chef Vito Mollica and his seven-member team create traditional dishes with a cutting-edge twist. Humble food items are mixed with premium products (think tripe and black truffle; poached eggs and white truffles). The unusual combinations are thrilling. An added plus: the restaurant buys local, from the excellent small producers in Bohemia, rather than relying on imports.

An Interview with the General Manager: Laurence Bloch of Hotel Plaza Athenee
July 12, 2007
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
Laurence Bloch is the Director of Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris and holds a master's degree in Hotel Management from the Parisian Hotel College Maxims, as well as a solid hotel management background. Her previous hotel experiences include the Mas d'Artigny on the French Riviera, Prince de Galles in Paris, Park Avenue Hotel, Hotel du Parc and others.
In her previous position as Rooms Division Manager at Plaza Athenee, she actively participated in the relaunch of the five star property and helped to undertake the redecoration of the hotels' bedrooms and major investment projects.
Five Star Alliance: How did you come to be General Manager of the hotel?
Laurence Bloch: Via quite a classic route; 20 years of varied experience in the business after Hotel School, I became Rooms Division Manager at the Plaza Athenee and was then promoted to Deputy General Manager.
Five Star Alliance: Which do you consider to be the best rooms in the house? Not just the suites, but also any particular standard rooms that have great views or unusual advantages? If you were checking into a standard room at the hotel, which one would you request?
Laurence Bloch: I would choose the top floor of the building, the 8th floor, for its Art Deco style and its natural light and its airy atmosphere. You are woken by birds singing on the top floor which is quite a unique experience in a city centre hotel!
Five Star Alliance: Can you mention any interesting miscellaneous trivia regarding the hotel? Any special events that have taken place on property?
Laurence Bloch: Filming of the final episodes of the epic American TV series "Sex and the City" was quite an excitement for everyone, guests and staff included!
Five Star Alliance: Who are your customers and where do they come from?
Laurence Bloch: We are lucky to have a very equal nationality market mix: 1/3 Americas, 1/3 europe, 1/3 Asia and Middle east.
Five Star Alliance: Tell us what you feel is the most distinctive or unique feature of your hotel? What best describes the personality of the hotel?
Laurence Bloch: I feel that the Plaza Athenee is quite simply the most Parisian of the city's 5 star luxury hotels. As a Parisian myself, I have always believed that the Plaza Athenee has been emblematic of a chic Parisian way of life. The hotel's distinctive and unique location on the very fashionable avenue Montaigne has definitely added to the essence of this Parisian atmosphere. Privileged with a separate street entrance to the hotel's Brasserie, the Relais Plaza has been witness to celebrity visits from all ranks of the fashion, cinema and political world. The famous English Bar that existed on the lower ground floor since the opening of the hotel, was always a popular meeting place both for hotel guests and Parisians alike. This tradition continues with our innovative Le Bar which mixes a traditional and modern decor. This is the main ingredient of the Plaza Athenee's personality today: the ability to combine and respect tradition with innovation. For example, the symbolic red geraniums of our façade are now offered as spring gifts as mini plants or as jams or candies. Another very important and distinctive exclusive feature of the Plaza Athenee today is the excellency of our cuisine with the privileged, Michelin star partnership with Alain Ducasse.
Five Star Alliance: What is the best thing about the hotel's location? What is your favorite thing to do in the surrounding area?
Laurence Bloch: As previously mentioned the greatest attribute to the hotel's location is the local luxury shopping on offer; on the avenue alone there are 50 haute couture and fashion houses. Added to this wealth of choice are fabulous restaurants and bars in neighboring streets. The area is duly known as the "Golden Triangle" for a reason!
Five Star Alliance: Can you share the names of any famous guests who have stayed in the hotel, or perhaps regulars that return on a periodic basis?
Laurence Bloch: Sorry, this information is confidential!
Five Star Alliance: If you were considering staying at the hotel as a guest, what would you want to know about the hotel before checking in?
Laurence Bloch: I'd definitely want to know what the hotel had to offer in terms of F&B, in a gastronomic city such as Paris, why go further a-field, when the hotel has 5 different outlets under 1 roof. Also I would want to know which specialties were on offer; for example our Pastry Chef won the title of World Champion Pastry Chef, again it would be a huge shame to have missed sampling his fare.
Five Star Alliance: What is the hardest part about being General Manager? If you could change one thing about the hotel, what would that be?
Laurence Bloch: The risks involved are one of the hardest things of being the major decision taker; being an innovative leader in one's field of expertise, can be a lonely road.
Five Star Alliance: Other than your own, can you share your choices of two or three of what you consider to be the greatest hotels in the world? And why you think they are special?
Laurence Bloch: The Beverly Hills Hotel is one of the greatest hotels in the world, it is truly the champion for first class service and attention to detail; when once I left a book open at the page I was reading, a thoughtful book marker was placed inside inscribed with "to save your page..." The Imperial Hotel in New Delhi is another unique property. The essence of comfort and history is omnipresent but yet astonishing touches of modernism bring you back to reality, combined with perfect discreet service.
Five Star Alliance: Anything else you would like our readers to know about your property?
Laurence Bloch: I feel it important that readers should know how important our staff are. To be a true 5 star Luxury "Palace" hotel the personal touch is essential and this is achieved thanks to our 550 dedicated staff members for 188 rooms. We are proud of their loyalty and experience, often a lifetime's dedication - 49 years in the case of our Head Concierge. Also, it is important that our guests are aware that we take seriously the privileged, exclusive title of being a Luxury "Palace" hotel which bears the responsibility of regular financial investments, an engagement we proudly maintain. Finally, I believe it important to underline to our guests and readers that we are where we are today thanks to the Plaza Athenee's rich and glorious past, based on much experience and effort, a total team effort.

"Where football is involved I do not have the luxury of being a bystander," Khoza said in a statement.

consideration. I did indicate, when approached to stand, the limitations

who also serves as chairperson of the Premier Soccer League (PSL), referred
to the clause which prevented anyone from holding the SAFA presidency
while also holding an interest in a local club side.
The Zululand
Region of SAFA raised the matter at a meeting held last Saturday and
wanted clarity on the issue. They claimed it was common practice in
football associations to have club owners serving on the committee and
the matter was put up for discussion at a later date.
With the matter not yet resolved, Khoza could not be considered for the position.
"My standing at this stage will create a negativity that I can't afford to bring to football.
take this opportunity to thank those that approached me to stand. I
derive continued strength in their confidence in me and the contribution
they believe I make."
Incumbent president of SAFA, Kirsten
Nematandani, is expected to face stiff competition for his position at
the September 28 elective congress, after former SAFA chief executive
Danny Jordaan was nominated earlier this week.
On Wednesday, Jordaan was nominated by 32 of the mother body's 52 regions as their candidate to challenge Nematandani.

The City of Jersey City is set to shell out $15,000 to settle a claim by a disabled city worker who says she was denied a handicapped parking space and then disciplined for complaining about it.
Rosalyn McFarland, who worked as a community relations specialist for the city Health Department, requested in October 2008 to receive a parking space near her office, according to a suit filed in federal court in March.
McFarland, who still works for the city, suffers from lung cancer that spread to her brain, according to the suit. She earns $28,750 annually.
Health Director Harry Melendez denied her request, and after additional requests were also denied, McFarland filed a complaint with the city Office of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action, the suit reads.
Former Business Administrator Brian O'Reilly informed McFarland in an October 2009 letter that there were no spaces for her, according to the suit.
"This letter, however, did not address why other spaces assigned to non-disabled workers could not be relinquished or reassigned in order to accommodate" McFarland, the suit reads.
McFarland's complaints eventually led to city officials disciplining her, for "an ongoing pattern of filing complaints against various employees," according to the suit. She was also barred from using "certain office equipment" and prohibited from contacting certain co-workers, the suit says.
The City Council is scheduled to approve the $15,000 legal settlement at its meeting tonight.
A city spokeswoman declined to comment.

Is Lawrence Block giving his stamp-collecting hit man the last word?
If 'Hit Me' (Mulholland Books) turns out to be Lawrence Block's last work of fiction, as the 74-year-old mystery grandmaster suggested to the New York Daily News it might be, then it's a fine finale for a writer who never stopped growing, and who allowed some of his series characters the same privilege of changing.
I can't remember if I first found Block through his old fiction-writing column in Writer's Digest, or through one of his early Matthew Scudder or Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries. But from the beginning I found his writing like pizza: good even in its ordinary manifestations, mind-blowing in its excellent ones. As a reader, I feel the same way about his late friend and occasional collaborator, Donald E. Westlake. As professional writers of popular fiction, they saw their job as keeping readers entertained enough to turn the page, and turn the pages we did. »Read Full Blog Post

Concert Review: Tech N9ne Independent Powerhouse Tour
I can admit it. I've never been much of a Tech N9ne fan.
I tend to distance myself from artists with particularly young and raucous fans. It wasn't until Tech was featured a Lil' Wayne "Interlude," off of Tha Carter IV, that i realized what all the fuss was all about. Tech N9ne is a beast. His ferocious "double time" rapping (rapping twice as fast as the beat without the lose of lyrical cadence) has made him a force to be reckon with since the 90's. Tech N9ne brought his high energy emceeing to The Rave Sunday with several of his Strange Music labelmates on the Independent Powerhouse Tour and I finally got to see him in action. Unfortunately I got there late (per usual) and missed the openers but as one fan told me "That was the tightest opening ever!" »Read Full Blog Post

Elaine Konigsburg, a former bookkeeper, chemistry student and science teacher, didn't start writing seriously until her third and youngest child was in school. When she was 37, Konigsburg published her first two books for children in 1967: "Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth," and "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E.

Former Bucs RB Michael Hill Returns to the Packers
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Michael Hill is returning to the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
It was a bit of a rough offseason for Hill.?He was arrested?after a disturbance?at a bar in St. Joseph, Missouri, an uncharacteristic occurrence for a seemingly-good guy who always kept his nose out of trouble.
Then he?was released by the Buccaneers last week, likely not related to the arrest but more-so because the Bucs simply had too many good guys at the position in Doug Martin, Mike James and Bobby Rainey.
With Green Bay, he'll reunite with former running backs-turned-quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt,?who never wanted to see Hill leave in the first place.
An undrafted free agent out of Missouri Western State, Hill was signed to Green Bay's practice?squad?in September.?He was signed to the active roster less than a month later after Eddie Lacy and John Kuhn both suffered injuries and was active for two games.?He was waived Oct. 18 and re-signed to the practice squad.
The Bucs acquired Hill?in November, after injuries to Doug Martin and Mike James. He saw action in six games for Tampa Bay, finishing with?nine?carries for 23 yards. He also two passes for 23 receiving yards.
As for the arrest, Hill's agent told Silverstein that the charges had been dropped, although he wouldn't provide details.

LDF Highlighted in Brown Media Coverage5/16/14
An Associated Press story titled "Segregation gains ground 60 years after Brown" quotes Sherrilyn Ifill.
Housing discrimination — stopping or discouraging minorities from moving to majority-white areas — also plays a role in school segregation and "that's been a harder nut to crack," said Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which argued the Brown case in front of the Supreme Court.

The zip lining equipment was safe. The views were great and most of all, the guides, especially Abraham, made it great fun. They were humorous while being concerned for our safety. We were picked up in a comfortable, air conditioned van and after the tour given a nice tequila tasting presentation.

This company is incredible! My boyfriend and I ended up being an hour late because our cruise ship did not let its passengers off in time. Instead of leaving us behind to miss the tour, the company made sure we were put in a taxi to catch up with the rest of the tour group. This tour was our favorite experience during our time in Mexico! We had a blast with the guys at the zip line. Not only were they hilarious, but they always made us feel safe and taken care of. I've been zip lining in a lot of different places, but this was tour was one of my favorite experiences. I would highly recommend booking this tour!

Beware! The ATV tour portion was excellent, and the guides were fantastic, DO NOT FORGET TO BRING A CREDIT CARD FOR A DAMAGE DEPOSIT, this was not communicated. The problem was the expectation of transportation and the role Gray Line played in the tour. The exact meeting location at the marina needed to be specific, it was not clear that our meeting location was across the marina where another cruise ship was at dock. Wasted 45 minuted figuring that out, I was glad that I had an international plan for my cell phone to contact Gray Line. Gray Line employee at the marina arranged transportation to the ATV company at an additional 3.00 per person and were told this would cover our round trip tranprotation. Guess what, after our fantastic ATV adventure, no Gray Line to take us back to the marina, jumped on a local bus for 1.00 and headed back to the ship. Again, ATV company was excellent, Gray Line added no value, charged us for round trip transportation and basically left us to figure out how to get back to our ship. We did it, we are able, but feel Gray Line was simply a broker adding little value!

It was invigorating and exciting to do the zip line. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. The hardest part was hiking to the next platform...some were quite a hike uphill on dirt paths...and in the heat it can take a little effort. Everyone who worked there was great and made us feel safe the entire time. Was an experience to remember.

Communicaiton was terrible, we were not responded to by our emails and waited 2 hours for the Gray Line rep learn tht our scheduled departure was not for another hour, 3 hours after arranged. After that and a lot of driving a great experience, we wasted 3 hours trying to find our toru arrangements.

Great time! After the zipline you ride donkey's up a mountian and have the chance to buy photo's for $50 from the trip.

The trip was fine except it seemed as though the guide was more interested in taking us to his friends to buy things. Also, my wife and I had a small red snapper fish and four large prawns for lunch where he stopped and the bill was almost $53 without the tip. I thought it was outrageous and told the guide so. The restayurant owner refused to give us prices before we ate. I should have known we would get ripped off!
Doing what: Puerto Vallarta Shore Excursion: Puerto Vallarta City Tour
Tour was great till our driver brought us on a dirt road to a quaint little village and a restaurant that wanted to charg us $58.oo a couple to eat lunch. The salad bar was also $58.00 for two persons. We asked the driver where he would take his wife and two daughters for lunch today? He took us down town to a quaint little outdoor Taco Stand. We had fun and enjoyed this. It pays to speak-up !
