Privacy Policy and Legal Disclaimer
Revised May 2008
Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC, ('WHG'), a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation ('WWC'), is the parent company of Ramada. In this Privacy Policy WHG and the Franchisor may be referred to collectively, as 'Wyndham', 'we', 'us' or 'our.' Wyndham Rewards, Wyndham ByRequest, and any successor or additional guest loyalty programs may collectively be referred to as 'Loyalty Programs.'
We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of individual-specific (personally identifiable) information collected about guests, callers to our central reservation centers, visitors to our Web sites, and members participating in our Loyalty Programs (collectively 'Customers'). Examples of individual-specific information ('Information') are described in the Section, "What is Individual Specific Information?" We have adopted this Customer Privacy Policy to guide how we utilize Information about our Customers. This Policy will evolve and change as we continue to study privacy issues.
This policy applies to residents of the United States, hotels of our Brands located in the United States, and Loyalty Program activities in the United States only. We do not accept the jurisdiction of any other laws over the above. This policy also applies only to our Customers. We have a separate policy governing any internet sites or extranet sites accessible only to the Franchisees and/ or Brands
Our purpose in establishing this policy is to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using Information with our Customers' reasonable expectations of privacy. Our intent is to bring you offers and discounts that we believe are relevant to your interests. We believe that our Customers benefit from promotional activity based on Customer Information employed to market goods and services offered by and through us and our other affiliates and business units. For more information on our affiliates, check the WWC corporate Web site, www.wyndhamworldwide.com
We collect Information only in a manner deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes and comply with our legal obligations. We safeguard our Customers' personally identifiable information by using industry standard practices. Although "guaranteed security" does not exist either on or off the Internet, we make commercially reasonable efforts to make our collection of such Information consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. Currently, our Web sites utilize a variety of different security measures designed to protect personally identifiable information from unauthorized access by users both inside and outside of our company, including the use of 128-bit encryption based on a Class 3 Digital Certificate issued by Verisign Inc. This allows for utilization of Secure Sockets Layer, which is a method for encrypting data. This protects confidential information – such as credit card numbers, online forms, and financial data – from loss, misuse, interception and hacking. We take commercially reasonable efforts to create and maintain "fire walls" and other appropriate safeguards to ensure that to the extent we control the Information, the Information is used only as authorized by us and consistent with this Policy, and that the Information is not improperly altered or destroyed. Our privacy protection practices help us to maintain accurate, timely, complete and relevant information for our business purposes. Our communication system, software and database practices have been designed to aid us in supporting authenticity, integrity and confidentiality. Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain data security when data is transmitted through third party communication service providers, we do not warrant the security of data during such transmission. Third party Web sites that are accessed through links, banners and other means of electronic connection on our Web sites have separate privacy and data collection practices, and security measures. We have no control over these third party Web sites and no responsibility or liability for the practices, policies and security measures implemented by third parties on their Web sites. These third party Web sites have content, advertising, banners, links, sponsors, partners and connections over which we have no control and no responsibility. We encourage you to contact these third parties to ask questions about their terms of use, privacy practices, policies and security measures before disclosing personal information on linked Web sites. We do not endorse or approve the content, terms of use, privacy policy, advertising or sponsors of any linked Web site. Please click on this link Feedback/Opt out to give us your feedback about this Policy or opt out of further communications from us.
The Internet
On our Web sites we do not collect personally identifiable information from Customers unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. When you reserve a room with us we will capture information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number to process your reservation. The primary purpose of capturing your e-mail address when you make a reservation with us is to send you a reservation confirmation. The confirmation may contain additional offers that we believe may be of interest to you, based on the information you provide to us. If you have consented to be put on our e-mail lists, we may contact you via e-mail from time to time. You will always be provided with a way to opt-out of future e-mailings. However we will continue to send e-mails to confirm your reservations.. Like many other Internet sites, we automatically collect certain non-personal information regarding our Customers, such as software client information (for example, IP addresses, browser versions and operating systems) and aggregate information (for example, number of pages accessed) in order to analyze Web traffic and usage trends, and to enable us to tailor content and services to provide a better fit to our Customers' needs. Information of this nature does not pertain to your specific identity and is not associated with your personal information. Our Web sites have hyperlinks that connect the Customer to other Web sites, some of which are not affiliated with or controlled by us. Once you leave our Web sites, each new Web site you visit may have its own privacy policy and terms of use. Your interaction with these sites will not be governed by this policy or the terms of use of our Web sites. Access to and use of such linked Web sites through links provided on this Web site is governed by the privacy policies and terms of use and policies of those Web sites.
We may place a "cookie" on your web browser. A cookie is a very small text file that is sent to a Customer's browser from a web server and stored on the Customer's computer hard drive. It assigns the computer a unique identifier. The cookie stores information on your hard drive so we can communicate with you more efficiently, respond to you based on prior sessions at which you provided information about you or your preferences to us and understand what you prefer to view on our Web sites. We do not use cookies to store passwords or credit card information. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. Your browser may be set to allow you to be notified when a cookie is to be placed on your browser, decline the cookie or delete cookies that have been placed on your browser. Some functions of our Web sites may not work or may work slowly if a cookie is refused. Our Web site uses third party service providers to serve and host our advertisements. These third parties may place cookies on your computer if you click on or access the advertising. The third party cookies are used to track whether the site was accessed from the advertisement. The cookies generated from the advertisements do not contain personally identifiable information. We do not control these cookies and they may not follow the rules we have set for our own cookies. We and our third party ad server also use invisible pixels, sometimes called web beacons, on our Web site to count how many people visit certain web pages. Information collected from invisible pixels is used and reported in the aggregate without the use of a Customer's personally identifiable information. This information may be used to improve marketing programs and content and to target our Internet advertisements on our site and other Web sites.
The Information We Collect.
If you make a reservation through our central reservation center or a Brand Web site or if you join one of our Loyalty Programs, we will collect and store your name, address and other basic information about you for the purpose of reserving the hotel accommodations or making the Loyalty Program benefits available to you. If you make a hotel reservation directly with a Brand Franchisee, state law in many states requires the hotel operator to collect and retain your name, address, telephone number and other basic information solicited on the hotel registration card and make it available to law enforcement officers. Our hotel operators send this information, as well as e-mail address and transaction detail (what goods and services were charged on the hotel bill) to our enterprise data warehouse or other data storage facility for collection and storage (the 'Data Warehouse'). In addition, we obtain personally identifiable information from third party sources that are obligated to comply with applicable privacy laws and append it to the information maintained in the Data Warehouse about you. Credit card numbers used for payment or guarantee are automatically encrypted in our Data Warehouse so that they cannot be easily accessed. We do not collect Social Security or driver's license numbers from Customers.
Feedback/Opt out.
We offer Customers the opportunity to "opt-out" of communications. A customer may elect to opt out of receiving communications by following the directions posted on the e-mail communication or by visiting the Brand or the Loyalty Program Web site, by contacting the Customer Care Department of the Brand that was patronized, or by contacting the Wyndham Rewards® Member Services Department. However, we will continue to send e-mails to confirm your reservations. Customers can elect to opt out from any of the following: (1) Mail – e-mail (excluding confirmation e-mails) and direct mail; (2) Phone -telephone and fax solicitation; or (3) Contact – all communications including e-mail, direct mail, fax and telephone. We maintain telephone "do not call" lists as mandated by law. We incorporate into our Data Warehouse "do not call" and "do not mail" lists maintained by other organizations. We process requests to be placed on do not mail, do not phone and do not contact lists within 60 days after receipt, or such shorter time as may be required by law. Any Customer may opt out of receiving communications by contacting us using the following methods:
- By e-mail, HYPERLINK "http://www.wyndham.com/emailsubscriptions/main.wnt" click here to opt out.
- By phone – 877-227-3557 for Ramada Inn
- By mail – Opt Out/ Privacy, Hotel Group Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC 22 Sylvan Way Parsippany, NJ 07054
We also invite your feedback and comments on this Policy. Please contact us at the e-mail address or telephone number above or by writing to us at: Privacy Policy Inquiry. Wyndham Hotel Group, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054.
When a Customer calls our reservation centers or contacts us via the Internet, fax or other means about hotel reservations, we need certain information such as name, address and telephone number to respond to the inquiry and to make the reservation. This information is sent to the hotel where the reservation is also recorded. A credit card number is necessary to guarantee the reservation past a certain time. The franchisee will charge the credit card account of a Customer who fails to arrive and fails to cancel the reservation in a timely manner. Franchisees may impose other conditions on the reservation such as minimum length of stay, advance deposit and other terms of the contract. A Customer should always ask for and record a confirmation number when making, changing or canceling a reservation. Information collected as part of the reservation process is used as this Policy describes whether or not the Customer actually utilizes the hotel reservation. The Franchisor may, but is under no obligation to, contact Customers with reservations to inform them about changes in the status of the hotel for which the reservations are made and may suggest alternative accommodations.
We will ask Customers to submit their e-mail address when they make a hotel reservation with us or enroll in a Loyalty Program. The primary purpose for capturing your e-mail addresses when you make a reservation with us is to send you a reservation confirmation. Our confirmations may contain additional offers based on information you provide and your destination. The primary purpose for capturing your e-mail address when you enroll in a Loyalty Program is to send you on-line account statements. Whether Customers provide their e-mail address to us in order to make a hotel reservation or to enroll in a Loyalty Program, they may consent to receive e-mail offers from or through us, the Brands and our other affiliates. We may also collect Customer e-mail addresses and share them with our third party service providers for purposes of conducting consumer research and surveys as more fully described below. Customers will always have the ability to opt-out of future e-mail communications; however, we will continue to send e-mails to confirm your reservations. It is our intent to only send e-mail communications (other than confirmation e-mails and e-surveys) to Customers who have consented to receive them and/or to Customers who have permitted third parties to share the Customer's e-mail address for purposes of receiving promotional e-mails. At any time a Customer may opt-out of receiving e-mail communications by notifying us as provided in the Feedback/Opt-Out section above. We currently use third party e-mail service providers to send e-mails. This service provider is prohibited from using our Customer's e-mail address for any purpose other than to send Brand related e-mail.
Occasionally we run sweepstakes and contests. We ask Customers who enter in the sweepstakes or contest to provide contact information (like an e-mail address). If a Customer participates in a sweepstakes or contest, his/her contact information may be used to reach him/her about the sweepstakes or contest, and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes. All sweepstakes/contests entry forms will provide a way for participants to opt-out of any communication from the sweepstake's/contest's administrator that is not related to awarding prizes for the sweepstake/contest.
Customers who supply us with Information, or whose Information we obtain from third parties, may receive periodic mailings or phone calls from us with information on our products and services or upcoming special offers/events. We offer our Customers the option to decline these communications. Customers may contact us to opt-out of such communications by notifying us as provided in the Feedback/Opt-Out section above.
From time to time we may perform research (online and offline) via surveys. We may engage third party service providers to conduct such surveys on our behalf. All survey responses are voluntary, and the information collected will only be used for research and reporting purposes to help us to better serve Customers by learning more about their needs and the quality of guest experience at our hotels and/or their experience with the Loyalty Programs. We may contact a Customer to inquire or survey him/her about his experience with a Loyalty Program or a Brand hotel visited and the prospect of future stays or the improvements needed to attract additional business from the Customer. The survey responses may also be used to determine the effectiveness of our Web sites, various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities. If a Customer participates in a survey, the information given by the Customer will be used along with that of other study participants (for example, a Franchisor might report that 50% of a survey's respondents are males). We may share anonymous individual and aggregate data for research and analysis purposes. Participation in surveys is voluntary. Participants who do not wish to receive e-mail communications may opt-out of the receipt of such communications by notifying us as provided in the Feedback/Opt-Out section above.
What is Individual Specific Information?
Individual-specific or personally identifiable information is any information or data about a Customer that in itself, or as part of a unique combination of information, specifically recognizes the Customer by a unique identifier or descriptor. Examples of individual-specific include name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, employment status, credit card type and number, and other financial information.
What We Won't Do With Customer Information.
We will not:
Sell or rent Information to parties outside the Wyndham family of present or former companies (not including businesses that entered into long term contracts with us to obtain Customer Information, such as the Affinion Loyalty Group, or that entered into such contracts while a part of the Wyndham family and which later leave the family), our franchisees and affiliates, or allow our affiliates to sell or rent the Information to parties outside the Wyndham family of present and former companies, franchisees and affiliates;

What We Will Do With Customer Information:
We will:
Use Customer Information to solicit additional hotel stays at the same hotel and other locations of the Brand, participation in the Loyalty Program, and to offer goods and services we believe may be of interest to Customers on behalf of ourselves, other non-hotel business units, our affiliates and former affiliates. For Customers who are Loyalty Program members, these solicitations may include offers from third party merchants that provide point earning or reward redemption opportunities in connection with the Program ("Loyalty Program Participants"). With Loyalty Program members' consent, we may provide their Customer information to the Loyalty Program Participants for purposes of them directly offering their goods and services to the members.
- Include information about Customers gathered from other sources we believe to be reliable to identify our Customers more thoroughly and update Information we store and provide to third parties when the information changes, such as changes of address or new credit card expiration dates.
- Provide the name, address, telephone number and transaction Information, including payment method, about Customers to our and the Loyalty Programs' designated affinity credit card issuer(s) for use in the preselection process for the credit cards;
- Create and use aggregate Customer data that is not personally identifiable to understand more about the common traits and interests of our Customers;
- Use Customer Information to enforce a contract with us or a Franchisee or any Terms of Use of our Web sites, or provide access or disclosures that we believe in good faith are required to comply with applicable law (See Compliance with Law in this Policy);
- Provide information on corporate credit card usage to the corporate card issuer or holder Customer directly or through third parties;
- Transfer Customer Information to the party that acquires the business or assets to which the information relates.
- Transfer and disclose Customer Information to our affiliates and subcontractors who administer the Loyalty Programs on our behalf or as we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve services.
Our Franchisees.
Each Brand hotel is owned and operated by an independent Franchisee that is neither owned nor controlled by us or our affiliates. Each Franchisee collects Customer Information and uses the Information for its own purposes. We do not control the use of this Information or access to the Information by the Franchisee and its associates. The Franchisee is the merchant who collects and processes credit card information and receives payment for the hotel services. The Franchisee is subject to the merchant rules of the credit card processors it selects, which establish its card security rules and procedures. This policy does not apply to a Franchisee's Web site. Franchisees may also use e-mail campaigns and other methods of telephone, electronic, and direct mail solicitation without our consent or knowledge and are solely responsible for their content and methods of identifying and contacting addressees.
Other Disclosures/Compliance with Law.
We may be obligated to disclose Information about you to a law enforcement agency or by a court order, or under the discovery process in litigation, investigations, and prosecutions. We may provide Information to assist a Franchisee to enforce a contact you may have breached. We may also disclose information voluntarily to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in matters of national security. We may ask certain questions to comply with certain laws if you reside outside the United States or meet certain other criteria established by law or executive order. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority, or in good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. Situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce contracts with our Customers, to protect the rights or properties of our Franchisees, affiliates and business partners, our Customers or others, or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing or who may be threatening to cause interference with or damage to our rights properties, or the hotels in our Brands, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
We make repeated efforts to verify the accuracy of Information and to correct and update our database from Information available to us. In the event a Customer believes that such Information held by us is inaccurate or outdated, we will, upon notification and sufficient time for verification, take all reasonable steps to correct any inaccuracy or update outdated information of which we are made aware.

Hi Hideki, It Was Great To See You But…
Two out of three ain't bad!…
The trend continues. The Yankees have played three series so far this young season, and have won two out of three in each. The schedule makers were very unkind to the Yankees as they pitted their top 3 foes to start the season. Fortunately, the results have been very favorable. I realize that there are many games to be played but given the Yankees are historically slow starters, at least in recent years; this season has gotten off to a great start.
Tonight, despite an inability to get Hideki Matsui out, the Yankees prevailed against the Los Angeles Angels, 6-2. The game saw the return of Angels starter Scott Kazmir (fresh off the DL) and starter-turned 8th inning setup guy-turned starter Phil Hughes. The Yankees made it a short night for Kazmir (4 innings, 6 runs) but Hughes did struggle somewhat with his control as he gave up 5 walks and was gone in the 6th with no outs. He did strike out 6 and only gave up 3 hits and 2 runs in picking up the win.
Al Tielemans/SI
Robinson Cano was the star of the game with 2 tremendous home runs. Derek Jeter also contributed with a homer and 2 RBI's. I don't think Curtis Granderson will need an adjustment period. He has already shown that he likes being a Yankee and his two triples tonight were fantastic. Meanwhile, I am getting a bit tired of seeing goose eggs next to Mark Teixeira's name but fortunately April will soon be over. Mariano Rivera, as efficient as ever, came on to pick up his 4th save in relief of Joba Chamberlain. I have to admit, there was some satisfaction that it was Bobby Abreu who grounded out to end the game. A good win and a good series…
Tim Farrell/The Star Ledger
Now, the Yankees await the arrival of the Texas Rangers for a weekend series in the Bronx. What can CC Sabathia do to follow up on the one-hit performance in his previous start? All is well at 161st and River…
I will admit that Javier Vazquez has had a rough start in his reunion with the Yankees. He is 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA. However, I am not so sure he deserved to be booed as he walked off the mound during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Angels. I'd really like to see a few more starts before fans rush to judgment. If you want a player to be the best that he can be, boos and cat calls are probably not the answer. Save those for Fenway Park or Tropicana Field. In Yankee Stadium, the fans should be united in their support of the players. If a player is bad or ill-suited for New York so be it, but 2 games does not a season make! Back off and give Javy some room. He'll be fine…
Today was Jackie Robinson Day around Major League Baseball as players honored the late Dodgers great by wearing his jersey number (42) which was previously retired throughout baseball except for those players who wore the number at the time.
Barton Silverman/The New York Times
The last player to wear 42 in either league is, of course, the great Mariano Rivera. As Mo so eloquently put it, "It's a privilege, an honor to be the last one to wear 42; it's a blessing for me. I definitely have a job to do to represent him well." Mo, I think you've succeeded. Here's to Jackie Robinson and how he changed baseball for the better.
2 Comments
He might not be my "favorite" player – but Mariano Rivera is a worthy player to be the last active player to wear the #42. So Tex is having a slow start – wow! He and Papi have something in common!😉 And don't you hate when former players come back to haunt you?
Oh – hey – how did the Sharks do the other night?? Go Av's!!😉
Boston Marathon on Monday – will I see you in it next year??🙂
A belated Happy Jackie Robinson Day. I loved that Robinson Cano was the offensive star, in honor of his namesake. And how beautiful is Rachel Robinson? She gets better as she ages.

Could she be pregnant?
Of all things that it could be, it most certainly is not that. My sisters will most likely forever remain the "Spinster Aunts" of my nieces and nephews She's getting her tests done as I type this. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.Thank you all for your prayers.
Okay. I just wanted to get that out of the way. I hope it is nothing serious!
Still nothing as much, yet, but when my father found out they were giving her an ultrasound, he exclaimed, "You're not pregnant?!"
Friends,Please remember in your prayers the servant of God CAROLYN, my sister, who has barely eaten anything in the past week due to an as yet undiagnosed stomach condition. It's not the flu and the anti-nausea medication isn't helping. She's going in for some more tests tomorrow.

Fierce storm strikes region, Poultney hit hardestBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 03,2014A fierce thunderstorm pounded Rutland County late Thursday afternoon with strong winds and and a torrential downpour knocking out power to thousands and pelting the area with another round of damaging hail.
Scott Whittier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said portions of Rutland took the brunt of the storm.
Poulney suffered so much damage the town has canceled all its festivities scheduled for Friday, said Town Manager Jonas Rosenthal.
"It's a mess, we have no power," Rosenthal said. "Everything is canceled."
"(The storm) brought two rounds of heavy thunderstorms right across Rutland," Whittier said. "It ended up producing hail of 1 inch and greater in Rutland and in some of the immediate suburbs."
He estimated wind gusts "at a minimum of 60 to 70 mph."
The Poultney area was hit particularly hard with trees down, utility poles snapped and thousands without power.
Just after 8 p.m., Vermont State Police reported Route 30 impassable through the entire town of Poultney because of trees and wires down. Other roads were also blocked.
Some structures were damaged as well, with at least one chimney toppled at Dr. Mike Scovner's office on Main Street.
Green Mountain Power reported thousands of outages.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit.
"We've got multiple poles down, wires down," she said at about 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 separate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the Rutland City.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Rutland Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said his crews were kept hopping but all the calls ended up being trees into wires. Some resulted in small fires but no structure fires were reported.
One large tree broke in two places and fell on a building at the corner of Nickwackett Street and Washington Street.
The city also put out its water barrier across the front of the transit center, which prevented water from flowing down into the center.
The largest impact was the power outages.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews. She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.
Whittier said the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms were widespread across south central Vermont with the most damaging winds and large hail "confined basically from Poultney through Rutland and getting into portions of western Windsor County."
Whittier said there were thunderstorms in the northern part of the state, but not as severe.
The genesis for the latest storm can be traced to several days of humid weather.
"We've been in this humid air mass for the last three or four days (and) we're finally getting a disturbance that came through New York and has lifted across Vermont," Whittier said.

Farm stays are also available for those wanting something a bit more active. You are sure to find what you want for your getaway here.

You can choose to be pampered for your short stay or weekend getaway. If you wish, you can hide from the world and not see another soul for the duration of your visit.
Some places are situated so that you can walk out to the local shops and restaurants at Montville, Mapleton or Maleny, while others are further away from the hustle and bustle and the only day to day noise is that of the forest. The quality is high, the value exceptional and the service is friendly and welcoming.
For a romantic weekend away, a midweek escape or a honeymoon, you can find a range of hinterland accommodation to suit your desires. You may seek a fully self contained cabin in a variety of environments; you might be looking for tree houses hidden in the rainforest, cabins with valley, ocean or lake views, all with the total seclusion that you crave for a romantic occasion.

If you want to leave your children behind, then there are many child free options, or if you can't bear to be parted from them, there are also many establishments where children are welcome. Are you looking for a farm stay with the kids or a fully self contained apartment for the whole family? Maybe you have group of couples looking to spend some time together.
The Hinterland can offer all styles and levels of accommodation to suit your budget.
Do you want a pamper package with massage, facials or any other beauty treatments? Perhaps you are a group of girls who want a weekend away together and would prefer a traditional B & B where you can all congregate in the lounge with a roaring fire, no cooking or washing up required.

text: Amendments needed to House education bill The MTA is urging members to contact their state representatives right away in support of two amendments to the House education bill -- H4410 -- which is likely to be voted on by Jan. 6. Both amendments are sponsored by Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Melrose) and are designed to strengthen and improve the bill, which is being rushed to passage in advance of a Jan. 19 deadline for the state's application for federal Race to the Top funds. Under H4410, the state could designate up to 55 schools and up to eight districts as underperforming or chronically underperforming and make significant changes in them. While MTA supports immediate attention to underperforming schools, we are seeking amendments to two troubling provisions in the bill. The first MTA-backed amendment addresses a section in H4410 that would allow the commissioner to approve a turnaround plan that makes unilateral changes to the collective bargaining agreement in these schools and districts. The amendment, similar to the Donnelly amendment that was adopted in the Senate, would require the district to negotiate with the union for 30 days over proposed waivers to the contract. If no agreement could be reached in that time, the dispute would be sent to expedited final and binding arbitration. The arbitrator must taken into account the needs of students are well as of the parties involved in rendering the decision. This speedy process would ensure that teachers were part of the discussion over how to improve the schools where they work. The second amendment is to clarify the teacher dismissal process. It would provide that teachers in underperforming schools could be required to reapply for their jobs, but could only be dismissed for "good cause." The MTA-backed amendment clarifies that under the good cause standard, the district must demonstrate that the teacher's performance contributed to the school's underperformance. It also reinforces the concept in current law that teachers must be evaluated under their locally negotiated evaluation procedures. Contact your state representatives today and ask them to support the Clark amendments to H4410.

The theme is 'Let the Stones be Stones' taken from Luke 19:40.
"The purpose of this women's outreach ministry is to spread the word about Jesus Christ in a fun, relaxed atmosphere," said Barbara Martin, WIA president. "We encourage those who are actively working for the Lord, inspire those who are not fully committed, and present Jesus to the unsaved. No matter where a person is in their walk with the Lord, there is a place for them at this event."
The program will consist of gospel singing, scripture, prayer and an exploration of the theme. The theme speaker will be Sister Ineatta Mosley of the Antioch Baptist Church in Aransas Pass.
The evening will conclude with a meal, biblically-based game and door prizes.
"Please join us in our efforts to spread the good news," Martin said.

Iowa ATV collision kills 1 driver, injures another
Published On: Apr 15 2013 12:06:57 PM CDT
Iowa authorities are investigating a fatal collision between all-terrain vehicles in western Iowa.
The Monona County Sheriff's Office says the accident was reported a little before 9 p.m. Saturday. It occurred southwest of Whiting in rural Monona County.
Officials say 31-year-old Nathan Derocher, of Onawa, was pronounced dead at the scene west of Interstate 29. Twenty-one-year-old Dalton Brown, of Onawa, was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City. Hospital officials declined to comment on Brown's condition.
What caused the collision and other details about it haven't been released.

Nothing Sacred
by George Walker
Fall 2002
This play is set in an era when very little was left to be held sacred. Every aspect of life was seen as broken--marriage and romantic relationships, family loyalty and love, ideas of class, authority, and principles--all were seen as corrupt and outmoded aspects of culture. I am amazed by the remarkable parallels between Russia in the 1860s and the U.S. in the 1960s. Among the radical intelligentsia, the young women were cutting their hair short and practicing free love, the young men were growing their hair long and wearing blue-tinted sunglasses, and everywhere the "establishment" was being criticized, undermined, and even physically attacked.
As critic Robert Wallace observes in his preface to the play, "The more Bazarov asserts his nihilism, ... the more he ends up telling everybody he loves them; the more he sets out to destroy the existing order, the more he affects reconciliation amongst the people he meets." Perhaps Bazarov, like any other young radical, is motivated by a deeper intuition of how the world ought to be. As parents struggle with the radical ideas of their children, it is sometimes difficult to hold on to love, forgiveness, and reconciliation. We hope you are enriched by the experiences this play offers, as we have been.

1. This is your house — that you share with 114,804 of your closest friends.
2. This is your "little brother."
3. This man elicits a rage deep inside of you that you didn't know existed.
So does this guy (and his sweater vest).
Ugh, and old Woody.
4. But this guy holds a soft spot in your heart.
Because he taught us that:
5. You respect the hell out of the "Fab Five."
6. And believe in the "Fresh Five."
7. You think the only way to successfully play sports is with your shoes untied.
8. Every time you succeed at something, you do this.
9. Saturday morning is the best night of the week.
10. You feel like this every single time we win a football game.
11. This is where you'd love to have breakfast every morning.
12. Not even a line around the corner on a cold November day would deter you from getting the #2 on toasted rye.
13. You know what this is, and just how delicious it is.
14. Even years after graduation, you want to be here on Thursday nights.
15. You can't possibly go straight from the bar to your house because you have to stop for late night.
16. You know damn well how to order a burger from here.
17. You feel like you're at a different school when you go here.
18. This is the only rock you know of within Ann Arbor city limits.
19. You've played in the mud, on purpose, to be a Mudbowl champion.
20. One day a year you can "legally" smoke marijuana (aka Hash Bash).
21. And on the other 364 days of the year, you can "hang out" here.
22. You know how to handle a "Constant Buzz."
23. Your Fishbowl isn't a place where actual fish live.
24. And you can drink an entire (different kind of) fishbowl.
25. You've heard the real Glee club perform.
26. You've seen a midnight showing of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" here.
27. You remember what State Street was like when chain stores weren't allowed.
28. You wouldn't dare step on this before your first blue book exam for fear of failing.
29. You have great and horrible memories from nights in the Stacks.
30. The library where you "studied" has a pretty bad acronym.
The Shapiro Undergraduate Library aka the UGLi
31. You know better than to even sneeze in here, for fear of being kicked out by the law students.
32. Or sometimes you'd just study here.
33. You've thought about bringing your future spouse to the West Engin Arch.
The story goes, if you kiss someone under the arch before you turn 21, you two will get married. Others say if you simply kiss under the arch at exactly midnight, at any age, you two will get married.
34. And any time you're walking down the street and see someone wearing University of Michigan apparel:
35. And obviously, you feel that:
- The trial to watch in Trump's America: A doctor faces a manslaughter charge after his patient died following an abortion.
- "Cancel order!" Trump tweets threat to end Boeing's Air Force One contract, citing high price tag.
- Former Sen. Bob Dole's law firm was paid $20,000 a month to lobby for Taiwan — and played a role in Trump's call with the president.
- It's finally here: You can now like comments on Instagram, and people are really excited about it 😍📷

The world is bullshit. Our government doesn't work. There are rocks everywhere. Almost nothing hovers.
Issaurinko/Robert Churchill/GlobalP/indigolotos/iStock/Getty Images
All of these were supposed to be hovering by now, dammit.
People have been noticing the bullshittedness of the world for a long time now, and history is littered with examples of people who have tried to do something about it. And failed miserably, because, as previously discussed, the world is bullshit. Here are the stories of their failure.
4The 13-Month Calendar
The calendar we use is kind of nuts. August has 31 days. September has 30. February has 28, except when it doesn't, except when it does. Our weeks are seven days long, which isn't divisible by anything, nor does it go evenly into any of the months, except when it does, except when it doesn't. Basically nothing about our calendar makes sense, and indeed, the only reason we use it is because one of the popes made us.
Wikimedia Commons
"Also, God said to name it after me."
OK, strictly speaking, the problem has more to do with the Earth and the sun not being able to get their shit together and create a year that's composed of a nice round number of days: 365.25 doesn't divide evenly by anything, no matter what the pope says.
Wikimedia Commons
"God's working on changing what integers are, right now."
Still, that hasn't stopped people from trying. And 365.25 is kind of close to 364, which is 28 times 13. That means we could have nice, even 28-day months, except we'll have 13 of them, which is basically the unevenest number there is. And we'd still have a spare day each year, which we'd have to do something with. It probably couldn't be a regular day. These guys who invented a 13-month calendar want to call it the "day out of time." The guys who invented this 13-month calendar call the spare day "Year Day," which sounds less dumb until you think about it, at which point it sounds much, much dumber. And it wasn't even just kooks promoting these alternative calendars. After World War II, the United Nations was seriously considering a "World Calendar" that featured 12 months (phew) but still had those insane "blank days," which are so confusing.
None of these proposals have gone anywhere, although unlike some of the other items on this list, it's not just because people were lazy. No, it turns out that the idea of a blank day is really hard for most religions to wrap their heads around. If you're supposed to dedicate every Sunday to worshiping God and you spend the day after Saturday drinking beer in a park because that's the blank day for the year, is God going to be cool with your accounting?

3Map Reform
The Earth is spherical because of ... uh... I think seasons? And its ballingness makes it very difficult to depict a map of its surface on something flat. There are ways to do this, of course, called projections, but no matter what projection you use, you will always distort the shape, size, or proportions of the surface you're depicting. For example, the familiar Mercator projection ...
Strebe via Wikimedia Commons
... shows things in the Northern Hemisphere as being much larger than things around the equator. Notably, Greenland looks like a massive continent, larger than Africa, when in reality it's quite a bit smaller than India.
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
And just a smidge less populated.
OK, so what? It's not like we ever need to roughly estimate how large continents are, like when we're sizing tarps or something. But some people argue that by making countries in the Northern Hemisphere appear larger, it makes them seem more important than they are, and it makes it easier for us wealthy Northern Hemispherites to ignore the concerns of people around the equator.

Thanks for the spicy food, though, guys.
To counteract this subtle psychological effect, different projections have been proposed that more accurately portray the relative sizes of the continents. Like this Gall-Peters projection ...

... which makes the Northern Hemisphere look like it got stepped on.
In the 1970s, the (re-)inventor of the Gall-Peters projection, Arno Peters, began lobbying the map users of the world to use his projection instead of the Mercator for the above reasons. This slightly noble pursuit wasn't helped by the fact that, by most accounts, Peters was a colossal ass about the whole thing. Notably, the argument he was making wasn't new; cartographers had long known and pointed out the problems with the Mercator and advocated the use of more reasonable projections, like the Robinson. Also, the Gall-Peters map isn't "less" distorting than the Mercator; it's just differently distorting. And finally, the reason we call it the Gall-Peters projection is because it was first invented by some dude called Gall a hundred-odd years earlier, which Peters never really acknowledged.

"I didn't think anyone but me could create something so ugly."
Although a few users switched to the Gall-Peters projection, a lot didn't, and the argument kind of faded away. The only lasting impact the whole debate made was that most people realized that guys who talk about maps are really boring.

Do you think Jennifer Aniston will get married again?
I'll add the third option of… why would I care?ReplyCancel
Only if Brangelina doesReplyCancel
Maybe. HaReplyCancel
Who cares?
That woman has a great life. I will never understand the people who see her as pitiable or pathetic.
She will because she doesn't want to grow old alone.ReplyCancel
+1 she's a healthy, hot woman with tons of money…ReplyCancel
Magic eight ball says " outlook not so good" ….ReplyCancel
Not to the hipster goof. Looks like she's finally getting smart about Thorax. Lately he's mostly in NYC and she's, I think, mostly in LA.
Jennifer needs to spend a little quality time with me. See what's available to her from the Grade A Prime side of the freezer, if you know what I mean.ReplyCancel
I'mma let this box say it for meReplyCancel
Oh Jennifer… I would like to say yes, but probably not. I'm pretty sure he used her. Not that he wasn't well known for producing and writing, but he didn't break out to household name until he started dating her. Career boost!!
Also, why would he change, he never married the woman before her, don't think he's going to change.ReplyCancel
If George can get remarried, then I guess Jen could.
She has too much money to get married again. Maybe she'll end up like celeste holmes or martha raye and get remarried when she's really old to some creepy much younger guy.ReplyCancel
@Sally McCoy I agree! She won't let them steal all the wedding thunder!ReplyCancel
Not until she bottoms out.
At this point, she still wants a man beneath her, so she can have the control. If she has enough money, she will continue that track, until she is old and maybe marries a gay, to be her caretaker, like Martha Raye did. If she ever goes broke, she will try to marry a rich dude who never left the 90s. They are out there, look at the dudes payin Pam Anderson for sex.ReplyCancel
I like Frosty's answer.ReplyCancel
Dang! Paint Chips bird dogged me on the Martha Raye reference.ReplyCancel
If she's smart she won't bother. There's no need to. She can find a guy and happily co exist for years without the paper.ReplyCancel
If she does, she will get divorced again.ReplyCancel
IDGAF one way or the other.ReplyCancel
If she doesn…it won't be for love, until she gets over the whole fame thing and stops care what other people think.
…and I agree with Sally. Jen will get married, directly after Ang and Brad get married, so she can steal away their thunder. It's almost like it's a showdown between them. It's the longest 2 engagements in Hollywood history.ReplyCancel
Gotta wonder what's up with her. Beautiful, rich, but unable to keep a man. She's been dumped so many times. Maybe there's just something about her that sends men heading to the exit once they get to know her. That said, I'd hit it, you know, in a very respectful and loving, caring, relationship building kind of way.ReplyCancel
Yeah, butterface?ReplyCancel
Just would think it shouldn't be to Jason Theourrrrowup. Seems like a poser to me, with maybe one or two small successes, seems Giving it to Jen is getting him in good. I get the feeling they're both dragging their feet but for different reasons. Sigh. I hope she dumps him back at Club Wannabe where she found him.ReplyCancel
She seems way too vanilla for the guy's she dates. Have you seen her house? I think there is one splash of color in the entire place. Brad Pitt is vanilla and not too bright, so it's easy to see why he was lured away by the "edgier" Angie. Justin won't last. He's too interesting.ReplyCancel
justin is a leased piece. he has tried to run away many times and she just re$negotiates each time and keeps him around. and by around i mean he in nyc and she in laReplyCancel
If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it.ReplyCancel
I'm on the "She will get married right when Brad and Angelina get married" train.
As for people questioning why she's perceived as pathetic, it's because Jennifer tries her hardest to look pathetic. Don't ask me why; I guess she likes people feeling sorry for her. She has a great life yet she's always complaining about someone who wronged her (Brad, the tabloids, her mom, etc). I've never heard her say anything positive.ReplyCancel
Yes she will. It will last 2 years then end very badly. I don't think it will be to the creepy dude she dates now. It will be someone else and it will be whirlwind romance and a quick marriage the crash and burn…just a guess.ReplyCancel
I thought Justin had huge family money?ReplyCancel
For all her fame, looks, etc. (actually I can't think of anything else she's got), JA seems to lead a pretty empty life. I agree that she will marry if Brad and Angie do, because without attaching herself to them she's not terribly relevant. This, of course, is contingent on her actually finding someone who's finally willing to put a ring on it.
Huh. That came out a lot more bitchy than I intended. But I stand by it. 🙂ReplyCancel
Oh Sally, only if Brangelina does. I LOVE that answer!ReplyCancel

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has revealed its process technology migration roadmap last week. As it appears, the company will keep its tactic with 20nm and will only offer one version of process tech instead of four today.
TSMC intends to deploy mass manufacturing of system-on-chip products using 20nm process technology next year and plans to start risk production of chips using 16nm FinFET fabrication process sometime in November, 2013, which points to mass availability of such chips in 2014 - 2015. Preliminary schedule for 10nm manufacturing technology points to 2016, according to a technology roadmap published by EETimes web-site.
It is noteworthy that TSMC intends to use ARM's first 64-bit processor, the ARMv8, as a test vehicle for the 16nm FinFET process; the tape out of the first test chip will occur next year. TSMC is expected to have chip design kits for its 16nm process available in January with the first foundation IP blocks, such as standard cells and SRAM blocks ready a month later.
"TSMC's 16nm FinFET process will be substantially similar to its 20nm high-K metal gate SoC process in the back-end," said Cliff Hou, vice president of research and development at TSMC.
Recently introduced 14nm-XM offering from Globalfoundries is based on a modular technology architecture that uses a 14nm FinFET device combined with its 20nm-LPM process back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect flow. Leveraging the maturity of the 20nm-LPM technology will enable a rapid time-to-market as well as a smooth transition for customers looking to tap the benefits of FinFET system-on-chips, such as lower power consumption and higher performace, as soon as possible.

Arraignment has been postponed for a Honolulu woman police say reported finding a newborn on a beach that was actually her child.
Keala Simeona's attorney asked that her arraignment to be postponed until Nov. 14. The judge granted attorney Franklin Don Pacarro's request.
Pacarro declined to comment outside of court. Simeona is free on $250 bail and did not attend Thursday's hearing.
Twenty-one-year-old Simeona was arrested in April for filing a false police report. Her arraignment has been postponed several times.
Police say she reported finding an infant girl on Sandy Beach and took the baby to the hospital. Police say it was later determined Simeona is the baby's mother.
Family Court was to decide whether to return the child to her family or whether parental rights would be terminated.

Paul Backers Outnumber Romney's At Nev. Convention
By David Welna • May 7, 2012
Originally published on May 7, 2012 6:39 am
Mitt Romney is not the only Republican running for president. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is still in the race. Over the weekend in Nevada, Paul supporters outnumber Romney backers at the state GOP convention in Sparks.

I agree with you on Rasheed, but I think it's a tough call on most of the players you've listed. Other than maybe Okur, have any of those guys proven anything yet? They all seem to be pretty inconsistent, and have had trouble living up to the hype of their draft positions. Also, I like Dampier and he had a good season in Golden State, but he's not exactly young at 29.
I think Swift might have the brightest future, if he continues to work hard on improving his game. He was still very inconsistent this year, and he's not a sure bet to take it to the next level. If he had actually neutralized Duncan in the playoffs, wouldn't the Grizzlies have at least one a game or two?

Between the big move to the Brewery District a year ago, the consolidation of their Columbus and Newport troupes and the expansion of their programming to nearly every day of the year, it'd be easy for the folks at Shadowbox Live to finish the year by taking it easy and throwing together a half-baked version of their annual "Best of" show.
It'd be easy, but fortunately, that's not what Shadowbox does.
The "Best of Shadowbox Live" is a raucous good time that'll even have the most cynical of viewers raving about the show.
Those who saw "Body Language" back in January will recognize a lot of the "Best of" show, because many of sketches come from that show — including "Sperm Dating," a sketch that may actually rank as the troupe's strangest and funniest ever. A lonely egg (Betsy Shortt) hosts a slew of sperm suitors as she looks for the perfect match.
Stories about driving couples also prove to be just as funny the second time around. In "Long Way Home," a woman (Julie Klein) driving over to her ex's house gets some sound advice from her GPS (Jimmy Mak), and "Battle Stations" has a couple (JT Walker III and Stacie Boord) using some convenient pop songs on the radio to express their unspoken feelings.
The musical stage is just as filled with highlights, including Jennifer Hahn's take on Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet," Amy Lay's version of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" and an ensemble performance of Prince's "Purple Rain."

Anyone who was familiar with the old mansion outside of Bethany in former years and who came to the formal opening last weekend was likely astonished by the makeover accomplished by its new owner, Monique Greenwood and her husband Glenn Pogue.
While the building will be owned in conjunction with her husband, Greenwood, an experienced innkeeper, will be the sole operator of the business.
The mansion sparkled, glittered and radiated its former charm made new, as crowds of the Honesdale "glitterati" appeared on its high steps and broad porch, seeking entrance at its front door. Anyone who was anybody in Honesdale was there.
All afternoon, googley-eyed visitors strolled through the classically restored rooms, sipping champagne and eating canapés off of trays offered by young assistants, listening to the soft jazz band on the porch, elbowing their way through the crowds, down newly painted hallways and through sumptuous bedrooms.
The old mansion, for many years a ghost of its former self and empty for 15 years, was transformed. Who could have managed this miracle?
The lady in question is the owner of a business called Akwaaba (which means "welcome"), who has a record of successful inns and B&Bs in Brooklyn, near the Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, and in Cape May, NJ and New Orleans, LA.
Long-time residents of Honesdale who were present recalled the mansion's former days when musicals and plays were produced, weddings celebrated and New Year's Eve parties held.
"Those days will return," Greenwood said. "We aim to open the facility to local people and groups that wish to plan events, like weddings or group meetings."
A tea room, called Leaves, which will open in August, will offer tea, salads, sandwiches, quiche, assorted pastries and such. Greenwood is searching for a suitable chef. All the facilities are open to the public.
"I did not want to just renovate," she said. "I want to restore. There are few mansions like it in the country and I want to preserve such grandeur."
Greenwood envisions a place of unprecedented elegance where vacationers can come to disconnect from the chaos of daily life and reconnect with themselves. Eighteen such travelers from the Washington, DC area were the first customers to come. Room rates range from $150 to $225.
The floors are original to the building, and the window panes have a wavy pattern in them that reveals their age. A recreation building at the rear of the mansion holds an Olympic pool and exercise rooms, which are yet to be completed. The facility is advertised as a wellness resort and spa.
The 14-bedroom facility, which cost $1.5 million to renovate, accommodates 34 people, sits on 22 acres of former farmland that was owned originally by John Strongman, a partner of F.W. Woolworth and the president and CEO of the Woodworth Company. His daughter, Hortense, married Byron Miller and became a well-known local philanthropist, who donated to the Bethany and the Wayne public libraries and other groups.

The double-star system Eta Carinae, about 120 times more massive than the Sun, produced a spectacular outburst that was seen on Earth from 1837 to 1858. This image shows the light from Eta Carinae's outburst illuminating the dust clouds near the doomed star system as it moves through them. The effect is like shining a flashlight on different regions of a vast cavern. The image was taken in February 2011 with the NOAO Optical Astronomy Observatory's Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.
