On September 16th 2015 Karl Øyri defended his thesis on Feasibility of short-range wireless monitoring in critical care environments. Background: Feasibility of patient monitoring in critical care based on short-range wireless technologies still is an open question. Despite wide penetration of the consumer market, short-range wireless technologies still are not widely implemented in clinical practice. Short-range wireless radio links, with air-based propagation of data, are more susceptible to electromagnetic interference than physically shielded wired links. Critical care settings with a high density of electronic medical devices represent a harsh environment for short-range wireless technologies. Since short-range wireless radios initially are not developed for medical use, clinical trials to study the robustness and stability of short-range wireless technologies in patient monitoring were the basis of this thesis. In critical care monitoring systems medical sensors sample data intermittently or as continuous data, and data streams are displayed on monitors as real-time waveforms or time-series of data.

Professor Erik Fosse, Head of The Intervention Centre, Oslo University Hospital, is awarded the University of Oslo Innovation Prize 2015. Prof.Fosse received the prize for his valuable contribution to the field of medicine and health services at a ceremony which took place September 2nd 2015. University of Oslo Innovation Prize short lectures here.
The Norwegian Research Council of Norway allocated funding for evaluation of the LuerJack®, single handed syringe concept, through the Regional Research, Design and Innovation (VRI) program. The Testbed at The Intervention Centre received an assignment from ConceptoMed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the Luer Jack®. Focus group sessions with clinical specialists at Oslo University Hospital were conducted to gain feedback on the concept from potential users as well as to identify relevant user groups and clinical applications for further concept development. Results of the study show that the Luer Jack® may contribute to quality improvement of clinical procedures. The safety mechanism integrated to the device promotes an effective non-touch technique, potentially facilitating improved anti-septic and aseptic field management. The Luer Jack® as a safety syringe can reduce the risk of needle stick injury and health care acquired infection. The findings from the current study demonstrate the importance o user-centered design to mitigate risk and meet the challenges of healthcare services of the future. The Intervention Centre has established a Testbed for medical devices that serves as a platform where new early stage and pre-market diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and devices can be evaluated. The current project provides an example of successful collaboration between healthcare providers and companies developing new medical products and services. Demonstration of Luer Jack here
On April 30 2015 Kririll Neuman defended his thesis on Interventional Broncoscopy in Treatment of lung Cancer. Background: Interventional bronchoscopy is a field of respiratory medicine that is related to a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures done via bronchoscope. It includes, but is not limited to such procedures as laser bronchoscopy, electrosurgery, endobronchial ultrasound and needle aspiration, stent insertion, volume reduction procedures and many more. One can use a flexible or a rigid bronchoscope, and airway management during procedure can also vary a lot depending on the procedures art and aim. Extrinsic compression of the airways can for example be treated with stent insertion, whereas intraluminal tumors can be debulked mechanically, with electrocautery or laser ablation. A combination of different techniques is often used in practice to achieve the best result. A doctoral project on Interventional Bronchoscopy in Treatment of Lung Cancer by Kirill Neumann et al. of the Intervention Centre summarizes the institutional experience in interventional bronchoscopy since its introduction into clinical practice at the National Hospital of Norway in 1997. Announcement from Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo here>>>

Hot Stove Fiction — Chapter One
An experiment.
Chapter One: Odd Man Out
It had been a long week for Alex Anthopoulos, the 35-year-old general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays and native Canadian, accustomed to cold winters and french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. Not only had Alex pulled off a mega-trade with the Miami Marlins, turning offensive eye-black wearer Yunel Escobar, strikeout-shy Henderson Alvarez, decent relief pitcher Jeff Mathis, and four prospects into a potential superstar core of the next championship Blue Jays team, but he'd also begun to feel, well, "a little strange," or at least that's how he put it to his wife, Cristina, over a plate of her homemade caribou stew drowned in maple syrup.
But it was more than that. Alex had always been a persuasive guy, able to convince other general managers of the hidden benefits of what initially seemed like absurdly one-sided trade offers. He'd even been able to deal Vernon Wells, who had grown to be the most overpaid Canadian since Air Canada CEO Calvin Rovinescu. But dealing with the Marlins, Alex felt almost superhuman, like he had acquired some sort of mind control powers. Not only did he get Larry Beinfest to agree to the blockbuster deal, but Beinfest even volunteered to send Alex a gift basket filled with twenty-five pounds of genuine Florida citrus. And if there was one thing Alex hated about life in Canada, it was the lack of quality fresh citrus.
It wasn't just the bounty of oranges that made Alex wonder if something more was going on. Lately, things were becoming far too easy for him. Not the kinds of things he'd always found easy- strategy, player analysis, and converting Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius- but silly little everyday chores, like shaving his face or brushing his teeth. It was almost as if the toothbrush had started coming toward his hand, like magic. And, just the other day, he could have sworn he saw his snow shovel cleaning the sidewalk outside his house, under its own power, when last he'd touched it, it was locked in the garage. At first he thought he was just sleep-deprived, but deep down he was worried it was more than that. He tried to take his mind off of it, by treating himself to a piece of cloudberry pie, but he just couldn't shake the feeling that something was fun. For someone as versed in statistics and data as Alex, it was hard to believe in the supernatural… but, for the first time in his life, he felt something circling around him that he was simply unable to explain.
Alex sat in his office at the Rogers Centre, staring at the stuffed seal Cristina had bought him for their anniversary, trying to move it with his mind. Or, more accurately, hoping he couldn't. He wanted to put an end to these silly thoughts of superpowers. He was still just regular Alex- well, not so regular, since how many Canadian kids get to live out their childhood dreams, especially in an economy wilted by the lack of ambition that a nationalized health care system tends to impart? But, still, his life was pretty regular in terms of the laws of physics. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door.
"Mr. A?" said the young man in the doorway. It was the unmistakable voice of pitcher Joel Carreno. Alex had summoned him with an e-mail earlier in the day. Carreno had been one of Alex's favorites ever since he had urged the team to draft him, back when Alex was still an assistant general manager and sold Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches to make ends meet in the offseason. Carreno had put up some impressive numbers in the minors- and in a 15-inning stint for the Jays in 2011- but this past season, the wheels seemed to be coming off. Far too many walks, an ERA of almost 9 in Las Vegas, and an astonishing 7 homers allowed in 22 innings in the majors. Alex hadn't given up on him- he rarely gave up on anything, except perhaps ever finding a commercially-packaged salmon jerky as tasty as what his mother used to dry at home when Alex was a child- but the blockbuster deal with the Marlins had created a roster crunch, and a few hours earlier, he'd made the tough decision to designate Carreno for assignment, and clear a spot for one of the new acquisitions.
"Come on in, Joel," Alex said, softly. "And shut the door. It's winter, and there's a terrible Arctic breeze." Ordinarily, Alex wouldn't call a player to his office just to tell him about a procedural move, especially in the offseason, but he knew Carreno was in town, and he knew he'd feel bad if Joel heard the news on the CBC without finding out first from the source. These conversations were never easy, but they were part of the job. Alex could almost recite the script from memory.
"Odd man out?" Carreno interrupted, rising from his chair. "You told me I was part of the future of this organization." Alex tried to calm him down, and even offered him an orange from his fruit basket, but Carreno was quickly becoming inconsolable.
And that's when it happened.
Just as Carreno raised his fist, ready to punch Alex in the jaw, like this was hockey rather than baseball, from out of nowhere, a force (there was no other word to describe it) seemed to materialize from nowhere and push Carreno's hand to the side, knocking him to the ice-covered floor.
Joel and Alex looked at each other, neither able to fully process what had happened.
"I'm sorry, sir," Carreno said, stunned, and, as fast as his legs could move him, he ran from the office and headed to the nearest Tim Hortons for a cup of coffee and his favorite doughnut.
And Alex began browsing Amazon.ca for a book, or perhaps a Region 1 DVD, that might be able to explain what was happening to him.
To be continued…

CofC 5, Towson 3
TOWSON, MD. - Carl Wise tallied a game-winning RBI single in the seventh inning and Chase Henry pitched three innings of shutout relief as College of Charleston bested Towson to win the series on Saturday.
The Cougars (20-10, 3-2) won their first CAA series of the season, while Towson (14-11, 0-2) is still searching for its first conference win.
CofC's offense reached double digits in hits for the second straight game as Charleston knocked 12 hits and earned six free passes off the Towson pitching staff.
Bailey Ober (5-2) tallied his fourth quality start of the season as Charleston's starting pitching staff have now made five quality starts in the last six games. Ober allowed three runs on six hits through six innings of work. He struck out four and walked one batter.
Chase Henry rebounded from a short appearance on Friday by going three innings and shutting out the Tigers with four strikeouts for his second save of the year.
Towson's Bruce Zimmerman (3-3) suffered the loss for the Tigers after allowing a leadoff walk in the seventh inning to Champ Rowland who eventually scored in the inning for CofC's game-winning run. Zimmerman struck out five batters and was tagged for four runs on eight hits.
Brandon Glazer had a strong showing in his home state for the second game in a row. Glazer tallied three hits and drove in two runs. Wise finished with two RBIs on one hit with two walks, while Gunnar Heidt knocked a double and two singles to score two runs.
For the second game in a row, Charleston took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Sophomore Morgan Phillips led off with a double to right centerfield on the first pitch of the inning. With one out, freshman Bradley Jones blooped a single to left, scoring Phillips with the first run of the game.
In the bottom of the second inning, the Tigers wasted no time getting back in the game. Senior Kurt Wertz led off with a walk and then junior Peter Bowles lined a two-run homer over the left field fence to put the Tigers ahead, 2-1.
CofC responded in the third inning with a leadoff single from Blake Butler and a double down the right-field line from Heidt. Wise hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Butler and then Glazer lined a ball into left to score Heidt and help CofC retake the lead, 3-2.
Bowles continued his power hitting for Towson with a leadoff double in the fourth inning. After advancing to third on a groundout, he came home to tie the game again with an RBI single from Pat Fitzgerald.
Both pitchers settled in until the seventh inning when CofC loaded the bases with a walk to Rowland, double from Ryan Welke and intentional walk to Heidt. Wise came through with an RBI single to give Charleston the 4-3 lead.
CofC added an insurance run in the ninth off an RBI single from Glazer, and Henry worked around a leadoff single in the bottom of the ninth to win the game for CofC.
Nathan Helvey will take the mound for the Cougars on Sunday as CofC goes for its third sweep of the season. Game time is slated for 1 p.m.

ATLANTIC CITY - Caesars Entertainment Corp. is open to selling the Showboat to save the casino hotel from closure, the company confirmed Tuesday.
"We're willing to sell if we receive a reasonable offer from a responsible buyer," spokesman Gary Thompson said. "We've received some expressions of interest from a number of groups and are reviewing them."
Caesars announced June 26 that the Mardi Gras-themed Showboat was seeing its last summer. Its 2,100 employees received notices the following day that the casino planned to close Aug. 31.
Unite Here Local 54, the casino workers' union representing about 900 of Showboat's employees, will stage a protest Wednesday - starting at 5 p.m. at Brighton Park, just off the Boardwalk - over the planned closure. Union president Bob McDevitt said the workers planned to deliver a petition to Caesars to sell Showboat.

This review is from: Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 994046
Pros: Works with the Asus P8P67 no problem, looks wicked and has nice timings. Running flawless at 1600MHz, 8-8-8-24 on a 2700K rig OC'd to 4.8GHz
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I upgraded from an i7 920 rig to a 2700K and had to get new 1.5v RAM. I had Mushkin on the old rig and didn't even consider any other brand of RAM.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Mushkin Enhanced Redline 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 998982
Pros: Heatspreader design and color is great. It's Mushkin, so I had no compatibility issues with my EVGA e758 board.
Currently running at the rated 1600 with no problems. It more than lives up to the legendary reputation of Mushkin.
Cons: I could only find the basic timing specs (7-9-8-24). I overclock so I don't use XMP, and wasn't sure what the tRFC should be set at. I loaded the xmp and it set the tRFC to 128, although it works fine set to 79. It's not really a con as non overclockers will use XMP, and those that do OC have no problem figuring it out.
Other Thoughts: I'm using this with a 920 overclocked to 4GHz. The ram is set to the rated specs with command rate at 1T and working great, just like you'd expect with Mushkin.READ FULL REVIEW

Recent reviews
Good 3.0 /5 from 53 reviews
I booked at hotel purple and wished I hadn't. Now I understand why there's no refunds or cancellations. The place was old and run down. One staff member was nice but the rest can't be bothered acknowledging you unless you speak first. Roomed was cleaned daily. Shared bathroom was average. Shower pooled over your feet and floods rest of bathroom. Mould and grime in shower. If you're lucky enough to get hot water it takes ages to come through. No hand towel to dry your hands with in bathroom but they'll supply one drinking cup if your game enough to share with random guests! Gross. Tiles in the hallway are broken and lifting and you're likely to stub your toe if your not watching. Breakfast was very average, they don't like to fill too much up, often you have to ask for more food. They don't like you using the air con they've even covered them with shelves - it get switched on at night and turned off at random times in the morning between 7 and 10am so they basically want you to leave the room. There's a club across the road often plays music until late. Mornings are very noisy. The restaurant I didn't eat at, only saw one couple eating there the whole time. It's about a 30 minute walk to Sorrento central and add another 10 minutes if you want Sorrento port. The views are great around the area, that's about all. I hesitated booking here after reading the mixed reviews but gave it a shot but I wouldnt book here again.
Very friendly staff, great wifi everywhere, nice garden and perfect location to pop down to get photos of the coast
Great value for the location. Beautiful Mount Vesuvius and ocean views from window in some rooms or going out 50m from the place. You can find Nice Restaurants to enjoy a great dinner with fantastic scenery. Public transportation or walk distance to downtown.
We stayed in a family quad room. Lots of character, being a former convent. Curved ceilings. Great sea view. Very friendly service, (thanks Miriam), and helpful advice on trips.
We made reservation for private bathroom. But hotel provide for us room with SHARED bathroom. Yes, we arrived next day than check-in date, BUT ALL days that we was stayed in this hotel - Hotel HAVE available rooms with private bathroom... Terrible staff!

Despite his injured ankle, the Los Angeles Galaxy's David Beckham aims to play in England's friendly against Germany on Wednesday (TV live: 3 pm ET Setanta pay-per-view; delay: 5 pm ET Fox Soccer Channel & Fox Sports en Espanol).

Police culture is an example of an occupational culture to which new recruits become socialized through socialization. It is thought that police culture is one of several demand characteristics which shape routine decision-making by the police. The term police culture can refer to several different aspects of policing.
It can refer to the us versus them attitude that is attributed to police forces almost everywhere, whereby "them" can be variously meant society at large, criminals and also senior police officials. Police culture can also refer to police attitudes towards the use of their discretionary powers, especially where the end is thought to justify the means, like unlawful searches and excessive use of force.
Finally, Police culture can refer to the strong feeling of loyalty towards and social solidarity with fellow officers, a feeling which goes beyond what is normally encountered among employees, even other professionals. I use police culture in this last sense. Police Culture and the "Code Of Silence" By John Westwood, Ph.D.
A Brief Discussion of Police Culture and How It Affects Police Responses to Internal Investigations and Civilian Oversight.
While most elements of police culture are universal, each agency possesses its own personal and distinctive organizational culture. What is police culture? According to McDonald, the concept of police culture is comprised of the merging of the image of impartial and professional crime fighters that the police have of themselves, and a system of belief and behavior not described in agency values statements. This definition, while not necessarily identifying a compelling positive element, does recognize more than just the negative.
All police officers must accept a higher standard of
professional culture. An integral part of the process of police acceptance of this higher
standard is police culture.

Every organization has knowledge management resources to serve the purpose of planning business, information mining and developing the staff on the basis of knowledge of previous employee's usually known as human resource department.Databases, Expert systems, E-learning technologies and artificial intelligence are the various technologies used to implement knowledge management system.
The unique challenges faced by research and development labs for implementation of KM are as follows:
1. Researchers who are working in labs face the challenges as employees working in the industry restrict their knowledge to themselves and do not share their knowledge and discuss their experiences with the people or employees working on the same project.
2. The researchers work on thousands of different projects at the same time and thus, there is a big problem to act and work efficiently and productively with very low overhead or investment. This is one of the main reasons that make it very difficult to implement KM with simultaneous running of business process.
3. Research and development have the challenges such as distributing or providing the right or well defined knowledge or information to the right person at the right time.
4. Labs have to make it possible to accept the knowledge management strategies by employees.
5. In industries, some managers are resistant to adopt or try any new changes or emerging technologies and thus, they hinder the implementation of new strategies or developments implemented using KM.

Smooth Creations Hellcat Core i7 965 EE Gaming System
HD Tune
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
- Benchmark: measures the performance
- Info: shows detailed information
- Health: checks the health status by using SMART
- Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
- Temperature display
HD Tune may also work with other storage devices such as memory cards, USB sticks, iPods, etc.
The performance is on par with what we have come to expect from a single 300GB VelociRaptor.
EVEREST Average Read Access
EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings.
CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. Furthermore, complete software, operating system and security information makes EVEREST Ultimate Edition a comprehensive system diagnostics tool that offers a total of 100 pages of information about your PC.
Access time is where the Raptor Series excel with their 10,000 RPM platters. 7,200 RPM drives simply cannot compare due to the physical limit. Access times are based purely on rotational speed and seek times and there are very few drives that do it better than Western Digital's VelociRaptor.
Passmark Advanced Disk Tests
This Advanced Disk Test, which is part of PerformanceTest, measures the data transfer speed when reading or writing data to one or more disks. The speed that data can be transferred between memory and a hard disk drive is one of a system's most important performance aspects. There are quite a few factors which have a bearing on this speed and the Advanced Disk Drive Test allows the user to vary most of these factors and compare the results.
I seriously doubt that a Hellcat is going to make an appearance as a file or web server, but the Passmark Advanced Disk Tests are some of my favourite. Here we see the Raptor perform just like the ones we use for comparison in our hard drive reviews. Significant increases are not achieved with single drives, it is only when you move to complex RAID arrays or use a solid state drives.

Jockbeat: A Look at Mets Pitching for 2009
Here's an incredible thought. If the 2009 Mets play like they did through 145 games in each of the last two seasons, they could win the National League's Eastern Division title -- or at least make the playoffs -- by simply going 9-8 over their last 17 games. That would be a two-game improvement over last season (7-10), which was a two-game improvement over 2007 (5-12).
Or stated another way, if everyone plays up to their 2007 and 2008 level and the two new bullpen additions, Francisco Rodriguez and J.J. Putz, play up to theirs, the Mets will probably take not only the division but the pennant. Or to paraphrase Churchill, in October Omar Minaya may well be saying that never in the history of the New York Mets has so much been owed by so many to just two.
That's how important K-Rod and Putz are. If you don't believe it, ask Johan Santana. El Lefty was everything the Mets hoped for last year -- everything, in fact, we predicted he would be -- giving the team a career-high 234.3 innings and going 16-7 with an ERA of 2.53. The Mets bullpen cost Santana the Cy Young Award, giving up the lead seven times after Johan left the mound.
Of course, the bullpen cost the Mets much more than just seven or so victories for their ace. From September 10 to the end of the season, their ERA was more than six runs per nine innings, and they blew five games in which the Mets had the lead. (And squandered seven ninth inning leads for the season, the most in either league.)

Rodriguez and Putz turn the Mets' biggest weakness into one of the team's greatest strengths. This assumes that John Maine can come back from arthroscopic shoulder surgery and Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey can win, say, 25 games between them -- and with Putz and K-Rod out there helping to shorten most of their starts to seven innings, that seems to be a very good bet.
Exactly who will make up the balance of the 25-30 starts isn't clear yet, but the addition of K-Rod and Putz and the subtraction of 50 or 60 late inning appearances by Billy Wagner and the rest of the ciphers the Mets were using last year in those situations should easily translate into an additional five or six wins. If a couple of those come against the Phillies and the rest of the Mets hold up -- and if Philadelphia doesn't win more than the 93 games they won last year -- then ... Yes, we know: if, if, if. But at least this time around Minaya and the Wilpons pulled the strings on deals that addressed the biggest problem of the last two seasons. The Mets may not go all the way, but at least they're likely to avoid another collapse.
In 2008 the Mets finished 6th in the National League in team ERA, 4.07. Part of that, as all Mets fans know, was attributable to playing half their games in Shea, a good pitcher's park. We won't know how Citifield will impact hitting and pitching until they get some games in -- the dimensions don't look good for home run hitters, but that doesn't mean the park won't be a better place for scoring runs than Shea. Our guess is that the differences between Shea and Citifield won't be great -- at least until they change the flight patterns in and out of LaGuardia. Putz and K-Rod should shave a full 0.3-0.4 of a run off the team's ERA, which means that the Mets should have one of the four or even three most effective staffs in the league.
It goes without saying that this optimistic projection only applies if Santana can make his usual 30-35 starts. Without Johan, the best bullpen in the NL will mean little, and if something happens to his arm, the Mets won't have to wait until September to collapse.

Historical Traveler Reviews Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa Cancun
Drinkers only
Nice hotel but nothing to do but drink there. Food ok, but always cold. Never enough coffee. Everybody expects tips on "all inclusive". Bartenders would take time waiting on you until you tipped them.
Very Nice
This Hotel was recently remodeled and it is very
nice and clean. We stayed here late Nov and we
all loved it. The beach is beautiful, staff is friendly,
and the food is great... The only negative is that
the cleaning crew will absolutely steal any money
that is left out in the open + they will make long
distance phone calls from your room and you
will get charged before you check out, so be
carefull but overall this place is terrific.
Loved it till
We had a wounderful trip. We had brought our 20 month old with us and we used the baby club. Thay are grate with kids she swam did arts and crafts. They would lay her down for her naps and feed her. It gave us a chance to spend some time together enjoying the sights and the beach. All was grate till we went to check out and was informed that a plastic soap dish was missing from are room. We had never had one in the room so we did not know it was missing. We tryed to tell them that it was never there and that we did not have it. We ask to speek to the manager. The person helping us went to tell him and when she came back she told us that he "did not wish to come out". Our ride was waiting to take us to the airport and we were holding up a couple. I had ask that are lugage be loaded in the waying car but they would not load it till thay got there $10 for this soap dish. We paid the money so we would quit holding up the couple who where sharing are ride. It is not the money that is the problem it is the insalt of being acqused of steeling. So as wounderful as the hotel and staff was we will not stay there agen. If the manager does not wish to help us out the this matter he will not in the bigger problems.
Great Experience!
We were somewhat apprehensive about going to an all-inclusive, but we had an excellent experience. The hotel was beautiful, the food wonderful and the staff at the Golden Crown were friendly and always ready to help. When we return to Cancun the Golden Crown will be our destination of choice!
Walk away from this one
My wife and I went here for our honeymoon Oct, 2001. Our first impression of this resort, if you can call it that, was to leave and go home. Driving to the hotel you see all of these beautiful hotels and resorts. When you arrive you hope you have the wrong place. It's small and unless you drink there is nothing free for you to do at all. After a rain storm one of the elevators had a waterfall coming through the top of it. Needless to say we took the stairs from then on. We ended up loving Cancun just not our mildew smelling hotel. Trust me it's worth a little more money to go elsewere. Like thay say, you get what you pay for.
Great Value for the Money
I have just returned from a weekend away at Jack Tar Village in Cancun, and let me just say I was very impressed. We arrived and were instantly given our wristbands to go eat lunch. We ate at the snack bar, which had a wide selection of food that was fresh and good. They had made to order hamburgers and other things that were good for lunch. We did not check into our room untill 3pm and it was lovely. Very clean and spacious. They are renovating all of the rooms and we are told that this should be finished in about 1 year. We had a huge balcony that faced the lagoon, but it had the sunset and we were able to soak up the sun in the afternoon.
The a la carte restaurants were alright. Food was a bit boring but never the less still tasty. They had a wide variety of fruits and salads which we ate and never had a problem. Water tasted a bit clorine-like but we bought bottled water downtown for one quarter of the price that they were charging at the hotel. Our room was on the first floor and during the evening's entertainment we couldn't even hear ourselves speak when we were in the room.
The bell boys were very helpful and the water staff were great at getting activities organised.
I would highly recomend this property to anyone who is expecting good value for their money.
Jack Tar - Cheap trip to Cancun
I, along with six other friends stayed at the Jack Tar last July. I was not impressed with this resort what so ever. I expected a lot due to my previous trip to Cancun the year before. I had stayed at the Barcelo Maya Beach resort and was extremely impressed. The Jack Tar was small, had crappy food, crappy alcohol, and crappy customer service. I lost my wrist band one night and had to pay a real nice fee to get a new one, even though the hotel employees new that I was staying there. The good thing about this place was that for young adults ... it was cheap, party friendly, and there was always something to do (ie. girls, volyball, beer drinking contests, etc.) I did have a lot of fun because I made it a point to have fun. I can honestly say that I only spent one night in that hotel. The other nights I spent in the sister resort Caribean Village. The Jack Tar is by far much more fun than the C.V. That place is setup for families and has little activities that the younger crowd would enjoy. Over all ... I would probably rate the Jack Tar as a low 3 (out of 5).
Poor Jack Tar
We just got back from our second trip to Jack Tar Village in three years. Jack Tar should be completely remodeled or just torn down. Cheap, dirty, unsafe are just a few words of description. We picked Jack Tar because of the no kids policy and recommended it to our friends who joined us on their first trip to Cancun. This trip was our fifth. The building was in bad shape, poor landscaping, dirty hall-ways, electrical panels uncovered in numerous locations. Rotting stairways. The liquor was so cheap even college kids were going across the street to buy their own after paying for the all inclusive package. The help was good considering what they had to work with. The room was clean but Beat..Cheap old furniture, no clock, no ice, broken door.
The view was the same..awesome and the beach was the same ..just as pretty. Its a shame they can't get their act together with such a pretty piece of real estate.
Three years ago I thought the place was showing its age but was okay...this year they have sunk to new levels. Stay somewhere else!!
A Great Honeymoon
My bride and I took our summer honeymoon at the Village in June of 1999. Yes, it rained 4 of the 7 nights we stayed, but when you think about it, a hard summertime rain in steamy heat is just about as romantic as you could get! The rains were short and driving, and were a great excuse to tuck away for a couple hours and 'watch a movie' together.
Our first impression was of our Jack Tar approved taxi-minivan driver. Funny, polite, and full of local trivia and knowledge. The 1/2 hour trip flew by and we found ourselves at the Village. We arrived before the Noon checkout to hear "we don't have a room for you yet" -- big sigh from me, who has traveled the globe and slept in airports and lobbys too many times! It was quickly followed with "here is your wristband. Leave your bags here, and head down to the beach for a drink and some lunch. We'll come and get you when your room is ready."
I can't tell you the last time, if ever, I heard that at a Days Inn in the States :) And he wasn't kidding. My bride and I walked down to a beachside hut where a smiling man named Villareo whipped up two frothy pina coladas in the blink of our eyes -- oh, and he COULD NOT accept a tip for the drinks.
Over the next couple hours, we took a tour of the pool, dining room and the beach area. A couple pinas later our room was ready; AND they rememered to come and tell us. In fact, we stayed out of the room for another hour or two just talking before heading back inside!
The room was sparse, but extremely clean. Kind of a late 70s Mexican disco look; carved and varnished headboard, cheesy window seats, simple bathroom... But the main thing was, it all worked. There was no doubt, YOU were in MEXICO and having fun. The cable brought in a good variety of channels, including a couple 'spicy' ones. We had a mini fridge, and a mini mart across the street from the hotel so fruit, beer, juice, and the forgotten items like toothpaste all were five minutes away. Our 'patio' looked out over the pool area. Although small, and obviously open on one side, it was very private for those special moments.
We were there at the onset of hurricane season, though most of the passing showers came between lunch and dinner and didn't last too long. The one morning we woke up to rain, the "cruise directors" of Jack Tar Village organized a game of Mexican Bingo where they basically ran around the lobby, screaming traditional Mexican chants and made people drink Tequila and Margaritas from 9am to Noon, while you watched the rain fall through open walls and doorways. It was incredible. The employees took the worst day of that week and turned it into one of the most memorable.
The bartenders, waiters, cooks, and counter help are all there to please. We did not have a single problem during our trip which went unadressed or unexplained, and came with immediate results.
One of the nicest things was being just far enough from the more populated stretch to have a quiet beach, yet we were only $2 or 3$ by cab from being in the center of the shopping and clubs. In fact, a few times, we jumped on the bus (there's only one route) for $1.25 and rode about ten minutes to the main shopping area. Although the beach is spare from the hawkers, you're only a few minutes from any hotspot.
We had considered many different cruise plans prior to choosing Jack Tar Village. Now we're planning on getting back to Jack Tar for an upcoming anniversary.
If you try it, keep an open mind for new experiences and unexpected adventure!
Jack Tar Village - Cancun
I stayed at the Jack Tar Village in Cancun in early November of 2001. I have to admit that upon arrival I was shocked at how dumpy the property appeared. The exterior of the building was badly stained and all of the plants in the exterior built-in plant boxes were either dead or removed. There was no doorman or bellhop present so my wife and I hauled our own luggage into the lobby.
The interior is a big atrium affair but again - all the plantings were either dead or removed. Only one of two elevators were operational and to get any ice you had to take your ice bucket all the way down to the lobby restaurant and ask for it! There were no ice machines on any floor. The common area ceilings were in very bad shape with exposed conduit, pipe, etc. My oceanfront room was clean,
but run down. The food wasn't bad at the buffet and the one operational italian restaurant was excellent. The pool area was nice with a swim up bar. Beach access was easy.
I would rate this hotel as an economy two star property. For what I paid it served my needs. Just don't expect to find anything plush or impressive about the place. On a scale of 1 to 5 here is my breakdown. (1=poor 5=great)

Day 33: HANGOVERS AND BUSES DON'T MIX
... a bit pathetic, but I was on my own on an extremely busy road without a helmet and with no idea where I was really going! The ice cream was just what I needed though! I was deed around the town for a bit, it's really cute and a bit more civilisation-esque than anywhere I saw in Belize. There are some amazing tours available around the nearby area, so I'm really excited for when we come back.
The nice hostel man told me a cheaper, ...
Mexico ....... D4
... there are over 1200 years old!! It was so hot all of our legs and arms were dripping with sweat , ( except for Mum's of course). After a whole 1 hour and a half of sweating, we finally headed down to the water park for a bit of fun. We started with a bike ride down to the start of the river. We jumped of a really high rock and did a zip line across a bit of water, it was soooo fun!! We actually caught up again ...
Victoria's Birthday etc
... woodfired pizza, cocktails and beer (Thank you to Victoria's family for the first Birthday meal treat! A few more to come still!). The latest night so far, falling asleep at 9.30pm (we{re getting better at this jet-lag!) That's all for now, although today we did visit a lovely nature park, so we've attached some pictures of that too (lots of turtles and birds!). Sorry for such a long post, so much to tell! Lots of love, Victoria and Russell ...
Mexico - Cancun
... and at that time the open bar was closing.
We left at 4.30, but before we did so we ate amazing hotdog sold outside the club. Then we caught a bus and went back to the city of Cancun. We finally arrived at 5.00.
Coco Bongo was simply great! It�s not just a disco…it�s an experience by itself. It�s a fabulous show, plus imagine a big New Year�s party every single day. It has some disadvantages but like everything. Overall we found it amazing even if ...

Eventually we are clear of the storm... and hopefully the US..
We are now 4 hours behind schedule...

We were supposed to be picked up from Airport by our driver at 21:30... it is now 01:15...

Remember, there is one essential question per lesson, and students must be able to answer this question by the end of the lesson. With essential questions, teachers really have to be intentional about what they want the students to be able to do, and it has to be at the highest-level of learning. The students have to be able to analyze and apply; they cannot just answer the question with a yes or no.
Activating Strategy An activating strategy is something that gets students actively thinking or making a connection with the material being presented that day. One of the main things used at Cochrane is to show video clips. Relevant Vocabulary Relevant vocabulary must be present in your lesson. Use vocabulary that's relevant. Limited Lecture.

Winters are frigid and long, but there's plenty of good skiing and boarding. Fall and spring are ASTOUNDING and summer is fantastic. Hard to beat Vermont in this category.
I only give this a "C" because I think a lot of people would find it hard to live here. We have pretty intense weather from October on, and last year we actually had a snowstorm in October. We have ice storms, tons of snow, mud season, and weird apocalyptic winds. However, when spring is here, it is absolutely beautiful. If you like cold weather like me, you'll love it here all year round.
It's Freezing and Icy. Most of the roads on campus aren't paved and so there is a huge problem with ice. Walking anywhere can prove to be a serious challenge. There are many days when you just want to stay inside to avoid the icy death outside or the ever-falling snow.
Snow Snow Snow – there is so much snow. all the time. and ice. falling is something you get use to. sometimes you cant leave campus for days because you are to scared of the rode. it makes it harder for the fire department to send people, or ambulances. in 2010 there was what we called the apocalypse, where it was raining freezing rain, when we woke up everything had a thick cover of ice (tree branches, grass, electric weirs, everything!), we ended up getting evacuated because we had no electricity, phone lines, hot water, and in most buildings heat. the cooks couldn't make it to campus so the dean had to make food for all of us. very hectic and not fun!

Sorry, there are no reviews.
What makes a student stay inside all day and read for class? What inspires a student to write 10 pages in one evening? What creates dedicated and hardworking students? Chilly, icy, bitter weather. For the most part, Marlboro's weather is cold. It's located in Vermont, so tropical breezes are extremely rare, and Arctic blizzards are never far away. In the early fall and late spring, the weather is romantic and breezy. There are a few weeks in the start of the year and at the end where students are sunbathing and distracted by the warmth. Many break out their tank tops and shorts, even if there is a nip in the air. In the fall, it becomes a final farewell to summer, and in the spring, it is the quiet emergence of pasty arms and legs.
Winter here is severe. On the mountain, you can expect power outages, mornings where the temperature is 15 below zero, wind that can knock you down, and a fickle assortment of snow, sun, ice, sleet, sun, snow, snow. On average, the Marlboro campus is 12 to 15 degrees colder than the town of Brattleboro because of its hilltop location. You could consider Marlboro College "Vermont amplified" in terms of weather. Bring lots of layers, warm socks, and a good durable pair of boots. And if you think you have too many sweaters, bring some more.
