Historical Traveler Reviews Rostrevor Christ Church
Good accomodations for the price, but........
I just returned from my one-week vacation in Barbados..stayed at the Rostrevor after reading all the glowing reviews from this website..
And I will say they're just about right on target...
I got an excellent package deal with my travel agent which worked out to about $75 a night at Rostrevor...In the new wing,,with a/c...kitchenette, beautiful bathroom ,,not to mention your own private balcony that looks out over pool & beach..
Now...about there "Beach"..I'm using that word generously,,it's more like a small sliver of beach sand with rocks around it..
You'll do better to take a quick walk down the street to the "Divi SouthWinds" resort..which has a fabulous big beach,,,I hung out there for the most part..
I agree with the other reviewer about the noise...This hotel is right across the street from the "Ship Inn:"...which is Party Central on the weekends (should have brought my ear plugs)
Also...be prepared to shell out $25 for the ability to make any long distance calls from your room,,,I was told this $25 was a "deposit"...but when I checked out I was told I owed $110 Barbados dollars in phone calls!! I let them charge it to my master card,,,but never got the deposit back...
Of course my international calling card which I use everywhere without any problems was completely useless in Barbados...they do things in there own way down there...
I was'nt too thrilled with Barbados anyway,,,and if I ever DO return I would definitely shell out the extra money to stay at the more upscale hotels on the west coast...You get what you pay for,,right?
The Best Place I ever stayed.
I went over and over on the internet looking at Hotels in Barbados. The one I chose was The
Rosstrevor Hotel in St Lawrence Gap. First time to Barbados and I was spot on with chosing the Rosstrevor. Perfect location Newly re-done. I had a beautiful view of the ocean and beach from my balcony on the 4th floor. Seperate kitchen with micro wave , gas stove, fridge etc. Pots pans, utensils and crockery setting for two. Out the back door and lined up fro a mile in each direction Pubs, clubs and resturants. I paid $492 for a week all inclusive. Don't see any point in going anywhere else.
Absolutely horrendous! When reservations were made I was told that they were only booking the
newly renovated air-conditioned wing. On arrival, we were given a room w/o air-conditioning. After complaining to the office, we were told it would cost an additional US $37 per night for a room w/ air. When asking for the manager, it was continually stated that she was unavailable. Room service was terrible as we had to argue for fresh towels daily! Room had hundreds of tiny red ants everywhere. Now the noise factor. Front facing rooms (we had one) have wooden window slats that can't be closed. If there are people milling about in front of your room, you'll definatley know!
Everytime you left your room, one was required to turn in the room key to the front office, what a hassle. There are delapidated safety boxes in the room, but your charged extra for that too if you need to use them.
Horrible experience! Please don't make the mistake we did. Book somwhere else. Try the West Coast hotels for more class and courtesy!
The best secret of Barbados !!
Rostrevor is the best kept secret in Barbados !! We just came back from our third trip there in the past 10 years. We stay in the older apartments because of the charm and character they have. Although the newer wing is beautiful. The ocean is right there and the Almond tree bar is terrific. There are people of all ages there , that have been returning for 20 -30 years. It is like going home. We feel really comfortable there. Staff is super ! Being right in the "Gap" is the best place to be, central for dining and entertainment. We checked out some of the other more expensive resorts/hotels, and they really don't have the charm that Rostrevor has !! The best flying fish sandwich on the island !! We look forward to returning there again and again !!
Value for money
I stayed at the Rostrevor in May 2003. Unlike the other reviews here, I stayed in the old building which overlooks the pool with the ocean to the right. When I 1st saw the room I was a little disappointed as it looked slightly run down - but it was clean. However, you get what you pay for and everything else about the hotel more than compensated for this. The staff are friendly, it is in a lively area and it is very private. There is a supermarket within walking distance and a convenience store a few steps away. The old block does have a kitchenette, but does not have a tv or air-conditioning, but does have a ceiling fan. I found the breeze from the ocean enough to keep you cool at night. I thoroughly recommend this hotel and will go back again.
Same time, same place, same apartment, next year
We are 8 weeks away from our third visit in 4 years....the place is small enough to have a great personal touch but big enough for all the privacy you want. Many of the people who are there when we are, are returning for the 20th / 30th year on the run so that should tell any readers about how good the place is. The rooms are clean and the view of the Caribbean is worth the 9 hour flight alone. Barbados is a diamond and Rostrevor is it's sparkle !...........don't tell anybody though!
Barbados' Best Kept Secret
I've been staying at the Rostrevor for over 10 years now. I like it so much, I'm somewhat hesitant to share it. You won't find better value or a nicer staff or better accomodation for the price anywhere on Barbados. Each year has seen added improvements, and the new wing is as good as anything on the Gap. The Gap itself offers restaurants and entertainment, while the Rostrevor offers rest and relaxation, the pool, the beach, and a practically guaranteed great stay. Now don't tell anyone else!
Lovely sojurn in the Gap
I recently spent a weekend in Barbados at this property. It was perfect for my requirements.The rooms are recently refurbished and superbly appointed with comfortable furnishings. There is a fully equipped kitchenette and the bathroom contains all new fittings. Seamless solid surface counters and sinks are featured in both the bathroom and kitchenette.Wide French doors with brushed stainless steel hardware frames a magnificent vista of the ocean which is impossibly aquamarine. Each room has its own private balcony overlooking the ocean.The property is secure and the private beach, though small, provides ample space for a quick dip or a soak in the waves. The pool ranges in depth from 6' to 3' and is more than adequate.The restaurants are quite simple but one will not go hungry as the delights of St Lawrence Gap are but a few footsteps away from the hotel in either direction. Fine dining is available at the world renown Pices. Josef's is right around the corner as is Cafe del Sol (Mexican) and even a pub (that featured a Latin night while we were there). Across the street is the Ship which has only been drunk dry once in its history (by the crew of the HMS Ark Royal).There is a small police post a few yards down the road and that emphasizes the feeling of security that one feels in Barbados. A night stroll is "no problem" and the members of the local constabulary are as polite as they are unobtrusive.There is even a convenience store a few steps away so that you can stock the 'fridge' with a few snacks.Lets not forget the staff, everyone was friendly and helpful and did their best to ensure that our stay was a pleasant one. I heartily recommend Rostrevor Apartments to you if you are contemplating a stay in Barbados.
Very Pleasantly Surprised
Didn't have much info to go on, just found the place on the net, and was one of few places with rooms at the last minute...and was only $130 US per night. So I was leery about what to expect. When I saw the room I was ecstatic. It was immensely better than I expected. We were in the new building, didn't see the two old ones. It's not a huge resort. Looked like it was just built, everything was very clean, brand new, nice tile floors, AC and ceiling fan (didn't need AC, it was perfect weather) full kitchenette, and frech doors that open right out onto a private balcony, the garden, and then the beach/ocean. The pool is a bit run down, and there's a small poolside bar that serves food and a great pina colada. But it's right on a nice private beach, and you can easily go to the public one a few block away, if that's what you're into. You'd have to, if you want to rent a jet ski, etc. Definitely ask about Taimi catamaran cruises at the front desk...it was a blast. Plenty of nightlife and restaurants close. There's a party to be had somewhere every night of the week it seems, if you look for it. I can't imagine much better bargain from what I saw doing my research. Highly recommended.
Best deal I found in Barbados
Christmas, 2002 was spent in Barbados. "The Gap" was particularly quiet and for a few days we felt like we had our own private resort. The restaurant and bar in the Rostrevor were hit and miss for even being open because it was so slow but the hotel itself was great. A great air-conditioned ultra-clean unit steps from the sea with a full kitchette at a great rate. Lots of good restaurants and bars around so it didn't matter if the Rostrevor's was open or not. I'd highly recomend it to anyone.

Getting ropes untangled and getting away from the dock took an extra 30 minutes. We were to have departed at 17:00, but we did not actually get underway until about 17:30. Regardless, it was amazing watching the huge cruise ship maneuver away from the dock and out to open waters.
We were all surprised ...

Just the thought of it that was off putting. We had an absolutely brilliant day today......the whole island ethos of "soon come" is very ...

Great Hotel - Well Presented
My girlfriend and i attended her winter formal ball here on the 30th and to my surprise she had booked us a room (128).
The reception staff were friendly, polite and efficient. They offered us choice of newspaper and optional wake up call, informed us off the health club and breakfast location and times.
The room overlooked the main road but was still quite quiet, decor was slightly dated but more than acceptable. The bathroom was good with a powerful shower.
Service throughout the evening at the ball was good, staff friendly and in particular the bar staff were very knowledgable about their products.
Breakfast was excellent, we were the only 2 people in there. Huge choice of hot and cold food, chef was on buffet making eggs to order. They even had things such as nutri-grain bars and actimel. We got to breakfast with about 20 mins to spare but we did not feel rushed by the staff.
Overall a great stay and we would definatly recommend this hotel to others.
Great hotel
I have just reurned after staying in this hotel for two nights. I arrived late, after midnight and was able to check in without any problems.
It is very clean and the rooms are a good size.
The staff are very helpful and pleasant.
During my stay I asked for additional pillows at reception and when I returned to my room they had already been delivered!
I used the leisure complex and again this was kept very clean. The pool is a good size.
Breakfast was excellant and I had a bar snack in the evening which was delicious.
The hotel is right in the centre of Reading - very convenient to the shops and only five minutes walk from the railway staton.
I will be returning on business to Reading in the near future and I will be booking into this hotel.
Convenient and Comfortable
My wife and I stayed at the Rennaisance, Reading for two nights, Friday-Saturday 28-29 October 2005, in an executive room at GBP 85 per night including breakfast.
We chose the hotel for its location, within easy walking distance of the excellent Reading shops.
The hotel was probably built in the late 70's or early 80's and the exterior architecture reflects this. The lobby lounge and bar is all open plan, and the restaurant immediately behind the lobby.
Check-in was quick and efficient and valet parking at GBP 1.50 was a bargain. The room was adequately sized, and somewhat dated in decor, but nevertheless clean and comfortable. The mini-bar held only two soft drinks and one beer, all complimentary for the executive room, as was a one litre bottle of mineral water on the work-desk, which was sufficiently large to double as a dressing table, including a wall-mounted mirror. Unusually, my wife found the bathroom amenities to be to her total satisfaction!
The restaurant breakfast was very good, with an additional a la carte menu. We did not eat lunch or dinner at the hotel, preferring to chose from the many nearby restaurants.
We didn't use the pool / health facilities.
Would we stay again? At the weekend rate, certainly! During the week we might look to the new Ibis Hotel (under construction) or the Travelodge opposite the Renaissance Hotel.
Hardly worth it
Reading has some terrible hotels. You'll have to stay here if you're on business but don't expect much. Staff are like robots reading scripts of what they should be saying. They have clearly been told to call guests by their names but it gets annoying when they do it twice in one sentence (which they do). If you have stayed at the Renaissance Chancery Court in London then erase that from your mind before setting foot here, as you risk being sorely disappointed.
So many annoying things that big hotels do and really should not:
- piped music in the restaurant (and totally inappropriate to boot),
- those annoying all-in-one ironing boards that get all tangled up,
- hairdryers that emit only a light breeze,
- newspapers not turning up when you've asked for them, and
- a really uninspired menu that never changes.
At �157 a night, you'd think they could do better. Having said that, there's no chance of their changing the building, which is ugly and overlooks a dual carriageway, or the location, which is the seediest part of Reading (as far as I can tell).
Parking a problem
Good sized rooms and clean with a central location.
Parking is difficult as you have to get your ticket from reception, walk through the shopping mall to the car park and stop your car near the exit to the car park, get out and walk to find an attendant to have parking validated - a bit inconvenient!
Wonderful Reading Hotel
We are temporary Reading residents and I booked the Renaissance for overflow guests from the US for the Memorial Day weekend (bank holiday weekend in the UK). While in Europe, I try to stay away from US chain hotels, hoping to capture the ambiance of the regions, sometimes with luck, other times I am disappointed. But that is the travel experience.
Anyway, the Renaissance had a great weekend rate and having seen or heard about other Reading hotels and B&B that are negative, I booked at the Renaissance.
Everything about the Renaissance was wonderful. The common areas are clean and well decorated. The room was decorated in a typical chain hotel style but it was roomy and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Bathroom was very clean and large. the room was overlooking the highway but the room was well insulated and we didn't hear any noise.
We did not eat there but took full advantage of the workout room and pool. I respectfully disagree with the reviewer who did not like the athletic facilities. There were ample varieties of machines that all worked well. The pool and Jacuzzi were clean, warm and did not have a strong chlorine odor that many public pools have. The dressing rooms ,showers, lockers etc were about the best I have seen in a hotel (I travel a great deal) and comparable to what you would get in a paid gym. The only disappointment was the gym area closed at 8 pm on the weekend and the attendant was certain that everyone was out before then. But then, he wanted to go home.
Overall, the staff was pleasant, helpful and welcoming unlike many of the UK hotels staff. This is a great hotel right in the middle of the town.
Service at its best
I have recently travelled into Reading on business from the US. This is the second hotel that I have stayed at in Reading and I must say I was pleasently supprised. The hotel staff were second to none and the food was absolutely superb. The hotel is in a prime location and boasts one of the better health clubs I have been to. A great hotel all round.
Renaissance Hotel
Hotel rates booked direct cheaper than the web. Hotel adequate, but getting tired in its condition. Health center ok, but changing rooms are poor. Rate includes breakfast, and it is this which that seems to attracts guests as the hotel rests on its laurels.
Boring, dull chain hotel, right in the centre of Reading (quite a boring, dull town ? so it fits quite well!). Nothing at all special ? the type of uninspired, faded, identikit four-star-going-on-three place one could find in just about any city around the world. At the same time, it's clean, comfortable enough and well-located. If you come with low expectations, they'll be fully met.
Stops me dreading Reading
I have been staying at the Renaissance for a couple of months now, up to four nights a week, on business. The Renaissance certainly seems to be the best of a pretty sorry bunch of Reading city centre hotels, but that is not to damn it with faint praise. Although the decor could definitely do with updating (one of the few places I've been where wall to wall magnolia would be an improvement), and the lifts are completely neurotic, it stands above the others for the quality, flexibility and unflagging cheerfulness of the staff. It's the only British hotel I've been to where the chef is willing to make special or low-fat dishes which aren't on the room service menu, for example. Any complaints I've had have been dealt with swiftly and professionally, and my grouchiness disarmed with a bowl of strawberries (I'm a soft touch). The gym is small and crowded, and the pool a bit too warm, but it's hard to get bored in Reading - for example, the hotel is very close to that "inexhaustible" fount of retail and comestible pleasures, the Oracle Centre. The rooms are variable - some small and dark, others huge and airy, but all seem to be the same high price... but that's what you pay for staying in the buzzing M4 corridor. All in all, the Renaissance makes Reading (just) bearable... there can be no higher praise.

I omitted the nuts because of the allergies at the school of my son. And I used only 1/2 cup of raisins. They are so yummy. I baked them 15 minutes and then let them rest on the baking sheet a few minutes before removing them to the cooling rack. Thanks Nancy :) made for Holiday tag game
Due to a cinnamon allergy and accidentally running out of molasses, I had to sub as follows: ginger for cinnamon, honey for molasses, golden raisins for raisins. The results were outstanding! Each cookie was topped with a walnut.**The cookies do spread and must be cooled on the sheet for two minutes before removing.**Thank you for posting. Made for Spring 2010 PAC.
Oh, dear, addictive does not nearly describe these! LOL I used beet molasses because that's what we usually have here, and used gluten free all purpose flour and half raisins and half craisins. SO good! Thanks for sharing :)
Made for Make My Recipe Reunion Game / AUS / NZ Forum
Spectacular! These were the perfect reward for me today! Easy to make and absolutely delicious. These cookies will be made again and again. Thanks for sharing!
Made these mostly to share during a weekly meeting my other half attends, & I followed the recipe right on down! Now that I know just how wonderful they taste, I'm ready to make another batch just for us here at home! These are absolutely great! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]
Incredibly delicious and addictive !!! I omitted the nuts and used sultanas as I had no raisins. These were devoured when I took them to a family gathering.
What can I say? They're addictive! The taste has kind of a homey-feeling gingerbready sweetness to it. I was trying to cut down the fat, so I used margarine (technically, sunflower oil spread) instead of butter, but they still turned out quite nice. Hats go off to mom! Thanks a lot for posting!
I made these yesterday... and I plan to make them again for our holidays dessert platters to give out at Christmas. I actually had enough that hubby and I had our fair share, and I was able to give some to our new neighbors moving in next door. OMG... these are addictive (and I do not normally care for oatmeal raisin cookies). I went thru 2 tall glasses of milk with these beauties! (Basically, I made a meal of them). I did not use the optional nuts (and they were perfect as is). I'm not a baker, and I'm not sure what gives them the great taste (whether it is the molasses or the cinnamon, or the combo), but they are truly wonderful. A definite keeper! Thank you for posting. (Made for PRMR)
These are SO SO SO good! We're eating them right now. So chewy and tasty! We added chocolate chunks instead of raisins. He says they are the best cookies he's ever had (oatmeal cookies are his favorite). I say they are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Major: Media Studies and Production
Program: Global Internship (New York) Summer 2015
I would just like to take the time to share the journey I have had in with Dream Careers now that it is nearly the end. I joined this program through Temple University with a few goals in mind. I wanted to get an internship in New York, build connections outside of Philadelphia, and audition for my dream job.
I started the program with an internship that was only giving me a few hours a week. I am a graduating senior so I needed to gain a lot more experience. Eventually, I secured another internship on top of that with the encouragement and help of the wonderful staff in the program. Having two internships has given me double the experience and an even larger pool of people to make connections with.
Connections are a huge part of success, no matter what field you are going into. New York has exposed me to people from everywhere imaginable. I live in PA, and wish i would have realized how easy it is to take a bus here to meet the endless amount of people this city has to offer. I will definitely be making trips back to New York regularly now. I wish I would have gotten to know everyone in the program, but the people I have met have been amazing sources of inspiration.
Now, about the audition I mentioned. I have always wanted to be a Blue Man in Blue Man Group (check them out if you are unfamiliar). I reached out to numerous people in the company and eventually secured a audition earlier this week. I have been a drummer since the age of 10 (one of the skills required to be a Blue Man). Unfortunately, I did not make the cut. However, I have begun talking to an active Blue Man in Boston who has offered me some great advice. After this program I will be working on developing my skills to audition again in the future. Without this program I don't know if I would have ever worked up the courage to audition. I can't wait to try again.

I also enjoyed many of the parks in the city and the breathtaking views. Barcelona is a city worth experiencing! I do not regret spending my summer there one bit! If you are interested in studying in Barcelona or would like to hear about my experience, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi! I'm Elaica, or you can call me Lai. I'm a Media Studies and Production major straight out of NYC.
The International Internship Program in Barcelona was the most rewarding and most fulfilling experience of my life thus far. I got to experience the city in a way that many tourists wouldn't. Working in the city and understanding life and the pace of everything in Barcelona accelerated my learning experiences rather than just studying or visiting the city.
The places I've been within the city of Barcelona, the cities outside of Barcelona I've visited, the people I've met, the things I experienced, and so much more will always be blissful memories I'll never forget. Barcelona hands down changed my life for the better. I am the first of my family to go to college and the first to leave the country beyond Central America. I am, to say the least, proud of myself and grateful for the opportunities presented to me through Temple University.
I plan on traveling as much as possible. I think if you have the motivation and the will to travel and explore new life, new cultures, and new countries, you can. It's all about encouragement and hunger from within that will push you. I would've never imagined spending a summer in another country, let alone Spain. Now I don't see it any other way! All about perspective. TAKE ADVANTAGE!

My name is Camille Smith and am a Strategic Communications and Spanish major. On campus I am a Resident Assistant in Morgan Hall North Tower and a part of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Entering into
college, everyone had told me to make sure to study abroad, but as a double major, I was not sure it would be possible. Finding the SMC Study Away program in collaboration with Dream Careers to Barcelona, Spain was,
hands down, the most amazing experience I have had at Temple University thus far. While in Spain I fell in love with the city, the small towns, the Mediterranean, and of course the food! Studying away is a must do as a college student.

TV Ratings: 'American Idol' premiere plummets, but FOX wins Wednesday
'Modern Family' withstands the 'Idol' onslaught
While every single series currently on TV would kill for the young adult numbers delivered by "American Idol" on Wednesday night, there's no denying or spinning that FOX's talent show juggernaut took a steep drop in the premiere of its 11th installment, plummeting in both total viewers and the advertiser-coveted demographic.
Among adults 18-49, FOX averaged a 7.2 rating, far below the 9.7 key demo rating "American Idol" drew for last January's two-hour premiere in Fast Nationals. ABC averaged a 3.0 rating for the night in the key demographic, beating CBS' 2.5 rating, the 1.5 rating for NBC and The CW's 0.5 rating.
Overall, FOX averaged a 12.2 rating/19 share and 21.61 million viewers, compared to a 14.1/22 and 26.06 million in Wednesday Fast Nationals for last January's "Idol" premiere. CBS was a distant second with 11.24 million viewers and a 7.1/11, beating ABC's 8.06 million viewers and 5.0/8. NBC was fourth with a 3.8/6 and 5.7 million viewers. The CW averaged 1.06 million viewers and a 0.7/1.
[Univision averaged 3.13 million viewers and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49 for Wednesday night.
8 p.m. - FOX's "American Idol" started primetime in first with 21.26 million viewers and a 6.9 rating among adults 18-49, suggesting that once "Idol" settles this season, "NCIS" may be able to hold onto its position as TV's most watched show overall. CBS aired an "NCIS" repeat and finished a distant second with 9.09 million viewers. "Idol" took a bite out of ABC's "The Middle" (8.15 million and a 2.6 key demo) and "Suburgatory" (7.02 million and a 2.5 key demo), which still came in second among young viewers for the hour. "Idol" had even greater impact on NBC's comedy block of "Whitney" (4.3 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo) and "Are You There, Chelsea?" (4.27 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo. Also slipping a bit was "One Tree Hill," which averaged 1.52 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo rating for The CW.
9 p.m. - "American Idol" rose to 21.95 million viewers and a 7.5 rating among adults 18-49 to rule the 9 p.m. hour for FOX. CBS was second overall with 12.825 million viewers and third with a 3.2 key demo rating for "Criminal Minds." ABC's "Modern Family" (11.805 million and a 5.0 key demo rating) was almost untouched by "Idol," but "Happy Endings" (6.22 million and a 2.9 key demo) slipped a little. NBC was fourth with the 6.41 million viewers and 1.1 key demo rating for "Harry's Law." On The CW, an encore of "Remodeled" averaged 605,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - CBS closed primetime in first with 11.81 million viewers and a 2.8 rating among adults 18-49 for "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." ABC's "Revenge" was a sturdy second with 7.58 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo rating, actually up a little bit from last week. NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" averaged 6.41 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating, down significantly from last week.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

Going Global, but How? Diversity in Transnationalisation Processes of Japanese Labour Activism
Social activism is not a nation state-bound phenomenon, but globally embedded. The Japanese labour movement represents a particularly interesting case to study the relationship between global frameworks of activism and their transformative impact on domestic activism, as it displays a much broader diversity than institutionalist approaches can explain. While parts of the Japanese labour movement strongly resemble their international counterparts, others remain remarkably distinct.
To explain this diversity, I elucidate the interaction between isomorphic influences of global frameworks of labour activism and the strategic selection and adoption by different actors in the Japanese labour movement.
Disaster, Law and Justice in Japan: In the Tsunami of Debt and Lost Homes
The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 unleashed unprecedented tremors and a devastating tsunami, damaging one million buildings and rendering 300,000 victims displaced and dispossessed. Former home-owners and businesspeople found themselves in the position of seeking loans to rebuild and invest, while being unable to pay off pre-disaster mortgages and debts.
Largely unnoticed outside of Japan, this so-called "double-loan crisis" promoted private and corporate insolvency, threatening financial institutions, jeopardising disaster recovery and entrenching social inequality. Treating issues of property insurance, debtor-creditor, social welfare, charity, financial and insolvency law, this paper examines the situation of the tsunami victims from a legal perspective.

High-tech Start-up Ecosystems in East Asian Agglomerations: Are They Different From the West?
Start-up ecosystems within regional agglomerations have been intensively studied in Western countries, but much less in East Asia. Therefore, little is known about the specific features of East Asian start-up ecosystems.
We study the high-tech start-up ecosystems within four leading East Asian agglomerations: Tokyo, Seoul, Suzhou and Chongqing.
Managing One's Own Death: The Shūkatsu Industry and the Enterprising Self in an Ageing Society
Japan ranks among the first in the world in terms of average life-expectancy, but its combination of high-age with a low birthrate is gradually turning it into a "society of many deaths" (tashi shakai). With the current change in family structures, the need to make arrangements for one's own passing is felt by an ever growing number of people. Trying to cash in on this demand, the ailing funeral industry has started to urge individuals to take care of their own future grave, funeral, inheritance, elderly care and property clean-up, promoting these activities under the label "shūkatsu" (end of life activity).

HIGH POINT, N.C. — Hundreds of children across the country nominated their favorite school bus driver for Thomas Built Buses' annual Children's Choice School Bus Driver of the Year national essay contest.
The winning essay was submitted by Keirra, a fifth-grader from Acworth, Ga. Her 90-word essay listed the reasons driver Angelia Woodie of Cobb County School District deserved to be recognized.
Keirra's essay, written as a poem, included the following passage:
"…My bus driver is as kind as she can be
And she inspires me to be happy…
To the greatest driver alive…Mrs. Woodie."
Woodie has been driving school buses for the past 14 years. As Thomas Built Buses' 2007 School Bus Driver of the Year, she will receive a $1,000 Visa gift card. Keirra will be awarded a $1,000 educational savings bond and a laptop computer. The two also received Thomas Built jackets and Saf-T-Liner C2 school bus lunch boxes.
Two runners-up and their bus drivers were also selected from this year's nominations. Clay, 10, from Wylie, Texas, nominated driver Leon Flanagan of the Wylie Independent School District. Andrew, 10, from LaGrange, Ky., nominated driver Alisa Bisenius of Oldham County School District. All runners-up and their drivers received Thomas Built jackets and Saf-T-Liner C2 school bus lunch boxes.
Thomas Built Buses created the national Children's Choice School Bus Driver of the Year essay contest in 2006 during its 90th anniversary year to recognize and thank bus drivers for their work. Now in its second year, the contest has become a tradition, according to the company.
Representatives from Durham School Services, part of National Express Corp., SCHOOL BUS FLEET magazine and Thomas Built Buses judged the entries for content and originality. Thomas Built Buses verified driver qualifications with each district.

During Brentford's 1-0 win at Portsmouth on Tuesday, Club Captain Kevin O'Connor was taken from the field on a stretcher.
It came days after the anniversary of an injury he sustained in an FA Cup with Budweiser tie against Basingstoke Town that caused him to miss more than six months of the 2011/12 season.
Brentford Football Club Head of Medical Neil Greig is now in a position to update supporters on the injury suffered by Kevin.
Neil said: "On Tuesday night against Portsmouth Club Captain Kevin O'Connor sustained a significant ankle and lower leg injury when falling awkwardly in a tackle, leading to him being stretchered from the field.
"Following scan investigations and consultation with a leading orthopaedic specialist, it has been established that Kevin will need to undergo surgery to repair the damage he has sustained.
"Kevin will undergo this surgery on Tuesday and then begin, what is anticipated to be, a six-month period of rehabilitation.
"Having worked closely with Kevin through his rehabilitation from long-term injury last season, I have absolute belief that he will return from this disappointing setback to play a key role for Brentford Football Club.
"Kevin demonstrates a first class attitude to recovery and we will offer him every support in order for him to complete his recovery."

The US Coast Guard handed over the care of the iconic structure to Douglas County in a transfer ceremony on Saturday.
The US Coast Guard wanted to retire the lighthouse because it was no longer needed for navigation purposes, but after years of negotiations agreed to lease it to the county.
"We really hope that we can continue to lease it, that it is very important to all of us to keep a piece of living history alive, and by keeping it turning and burning we hope that will happen as long as we can possibly make it," said Jim Akre with Friends of Umpqua Lighthouse.
Although modern technology makes the lighthouse obsolete, for many in the county the structure represents home.
The lighthouse has been burning for the past 118 years.
The signature red and white pattern of the light is so unique there is only one other lens like it in the world.

Haye, Khan Rip Ref Foster for Froch-Groves Stoppage
By Ryan Maquiñana
David Haye and Amir Khan were not in accord with referee Howard Foster's controversial decision to prevent George Groves from continuing in the ninth round of his super middleweight title fight against Carl Froch on Saturday.
The two British boxing stars, who were sitting in the Sky Sports broadcast booth at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, England, strongly believed Foster stopped the clash prematurely.
"The referee grabbed George in a headlock and allowed Carl to him in the ribs," Haye said. "This isn't the WWE here. This is world-class boxing."
Khan, an Olympic silver medalist and former junior welterweight beltholder, agreed with Haye's sentiment.
"For a fighter to get this far and for (the bout) to be stopped like this … you want a clear winner," Khan said. "Groves was still on his feet in my opinion. … The referee was always favoring Carl."
Haye elaborated on his position, while alleviating any blame on Froch's part.
"My problem with the stoppage is this. If the referee let the fight go on … and then it was stopped, no one would have complained," the former heavyweight titleholder said. "But people shouldn't give Carl Froch any 'stick.' It wasn't his decision to stop the fight."
Haye even revealed that Froch's pre-fight prediction ended up ringing true.
"If (Froch) won that round, the fight would have been even," Haye said. "… He was in a world of trouble, (and) he was losing rounds, but he knew at some stage he was going to catch him. (Froch) told me this before the fight. He said, 'As soon I start landing flush, the fight is over.'"
Meanwhile, British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Robert Smith defended Foster.
"Howard Foster is a world-class referee, a world-class official, and I don't have a problem with the stoppage," Smith said. "… He's done his job. We'll speak to him next week maybe. Everyone is on high emotions right now.
Smith then broke down the stoppage as he watched the replay.
"You can argue, 'Should (Groves) take another shot?' I'd rather he take one shot less than one shot too many," Smith said.

The typical view of an immigrant in this country is not far removed from the image of thousands of people pouring in to Ellis Island in the early 1900s -- people with little money to their names and big dreams of making their fortunes in America. That view is still true in many ways, but it's also true that many of today's immigrants are well-to-do international elites. For instance, in Miami -- long associated with Cubans arriving by raft -- there are now a lot of rich South Americans. West Coast cities like Seattle and San Francisco have many affluent East Asians. Houston has wealthy Indians, New York City many Russian tycoons, and so on. These immigrants bring financial and human capital. But are cities leveraging their immigrants, and their broader connection with certain countries, to generate growth locally?
The answer varies, but one successful example has been the relationship between San Antonio and Mexico. Their ties run deep; Texas was a part of Mexico until its independence in 1836. Since then, San Antonio has attracted Mexican immigrants. But as crime has risen in Mexico in recent years, there's been a professional-class exodus of Mexican nationals to affluent northern San Antonio.
These days it's not hard to convince people to live downtown, or, for that matter, to get developers to build places for them to live. Increasingly, both millennials and baby boomers want urban amenities. They want to live close to work, parks and restaurants, and they want to be able to walk or bike to them. As a result, downtown populations have soared: 65,000 people now live in downtown Seattle, downtown Los Angeles -- traditionally not a residential area -- is home to 52,000 people, downtown Philadelphia has 57,000, and Boston has 17,000 (a 50 percent increase since 2000).
Needless to say, these cities aren't subsidizing downtown development. In some cases, they've actually started to extract fees and concessions from developers to build downtown. But that's not the case everywhere.
Many public services are now outsourced. From education and transit to garbage pickup and park maintenance, there's a notion that nongovernmental organizations can do things better. Certainly, privatization has seen its share of successes and failures. But one of those successes is economic development -- at least in Oklahoma City.
Since the beginning, economic development in Oklahoma City has been handled not by a public entity as in many cities, but by the Chamber of Commerce. Putting the chamber or other private groups in charge of economic development has long been common at the local level. And as my colleague Alan Greenblatt wrote in these pages late last year, it's starting to catch on in states, too.
Not long ago, I was sitting in a hotel ballroom in a suburban master planned community watching a panel of developers talk about, well, master planned communities. The hotel was located in an urban-ish town center with townhomes and mixed-use buildings and parking garages that cost a lot of money to park your car in. It wasn't lost upon these developers that the differences between suburban and urban amenities were few and far between.
What was really striking, though, was that while they clearly understood the increasing urbanization of the suburbs from a business perspective, they didn't really understand why it was happening. To hear them tell it, the walkable town center with the restaurants and the coffee shops was just a new type of amenity around which to market the housing in the master planned community. Put another way, they were just building town centers instead of golf courses.
Tax increment financing (TIF) is one of the most popular financing techniques in a locality's toolbox. It's also one of the most unpopular methods among some policy wonks. Intended to eliminate blight in the poorest neighborhoods, TIF projects are often criticized for funneling money away from core services and to neighborhoods that are neither blighted nor poor. But the problem with TIF isn't the policy itself. When applied properly, TIF can bring the notions of value capture and financial accountability to public works.
TIF policies vary by structure. But generally TIF works like this: A municipality approves and floats bonds for a new amenity. Then the municipality draws a boundary around the area, estimating which properties will benefit from the amenity. To pay the debt, the municipality uses the added property or sales tax revenue -- called the "increment" -- that results from within the boundary.

As you know, we are now in the hurricane season with the first potential threat scheduled for this weekend. Other college administrators and I are closely monitoring Hurricane Irene and maintaining contact with the local emergency management agency.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's latest update at 3:50 pm, it appears that Rocky Mount could experience wind gusts as high as 45 mph and heavy rainfall causing flash flooding. Consequently, driving in these conditions should be avoided. Please remember, you should never drive or walk through flooded streets or areas.
The peak of inclement weather will occur Saturday night preceded by scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday night and Saturday.
We are currently planning to maintain our normal schedule for the academic program and dining services. We will continue to monitor the storm's path and make announcements of any required adjustments. Please monitor the college's website and your email account for news.
Also, I urge you all to register with FLASHbrief, our emergency notification system by visiting http://my.ncwc.edu/ics. There, you will find instructions for receiving timely notifications sent to your cell phone, email account, and computer desktop.

Take care, and click here for additional hurricane safety information provided by the American Red Cross.

Just before Gowalla closed down, they finally got around to adding a Baltimore guide to their service. Before that, however (and arguably after too), Baltimore still didn't get the loving it deserved. I made these as a personal project a long time ago to celebrate Baltimore, Gowalla-style... but thanks to the magic of Dribbble, they live on!

I'M PRETTY SURE Michael David Dunn is a racist, but I'm certain he's a dunce who has done me harm. Not the kind of harm he did to 17-year-old Jordan Davis, his friends and family.
There is no equivalency between that actual harm and my theoretical harm.
The harm Dunn has done to me and other gun owners is to make us look like trigger-happy hot heads, when the opposite is true. How can I say that? With more than 100 million gun owners in America, we'd have thousands of shootings every day if we lacked impulse control, like Dunn.

Michael Beasley Wears a New Uniform, but Is Still a Complete Doofus
Despite the fact that several NBA teams have taken the chance on Michael Beasley, he still proves to be a complete doofus no matter where he goes.
Beasley, who was cut by the Phoenix Suns last month, is now a member of the Miami Heat (again), and spent a few seconds during the Heat's pre-season game yesterday punching himself in the face.
Joseph Goodman, the Heat beat-writer for the Miami Herald, said the video above "cuts away before he really gets going."
Beasley had to get medical attention after repeatedly delivering jabs to his own eye.

Goodman said that medical staff had to use one of the "steel compresses cut doctors use on boxers" to control the swelling.
As you may recall, Beasley's departure from Phoenix couldn't come soon enough.
His disappointing basketball-playing was probably the best thing he did in Phoenix.
A couple months ago, Beasley was arrested by Scottsdale police after officers found marijuana in Beasley's possession during a traffic stop.
This, after Beasley said when he signed with the Suns that he was "confident to say that part of my career, that part of my life, is over and won't be coming back," in reference to his pot-smoking.
Earlier this year, Beasley was arrested by Scottsdale PD for several traffic violations, including going 71 mph in a 45-mph zone, and not having a license plate.
Scottsdale police have been "investigating an allegation of sexual assault involving" Beasley, although no charges have materialized from that assault, which allegedly occurred in January.
Miami's the team that drafted Beasley with the second overall pick back in 2008, so they must have known what they were getting themselves into, but at least he's not the Suns' problem.
