Future City starts with a question—how can we make the world a better place? To answer it, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, and green energy. The 2016-2017 topic was the Power of Public Space. Check back on July 15th to find out what the challenge for 2017-2018 will be!
Students present their solutions via a virtual city design (using SimCity); a 1,500-word city essay; a scale model; a project plan, and a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January. Regional winners represent their region at the National Finals in Washington, DC in February. After the competition is over, student participants are not only prepared to be citizens of today's complex and technical world, they are poised to become the drivers of tomorrow.
This flexible, cross-curricular educational program gives students an opportunity to do the things that engineers do—identify problems; brainstorm ideas; design solutions; test, retest and build; and share their results. This process is called the engineering design process. With this at its center, Future City is an engaging way to build students' 21st century skills. Students participating in Future City:
Meet a Future City team as they embark on this year's challenge. They'll provide a brief overview of all of the key components of the program.
A group of budding city planners in Detroit competes against students from more affluent suburbs to design the city of the future.

E-Travel Guide Organizes Content Into 12 Hour Itineraries
Avid traveller, street style blogger and photographer, Soren Jepsen launches a one of a kind digital guide.
After six years traveling the globe as a photographer and street style blogger, you're bound to receive a few too many emails with requests on where to go, eat and sleep. Soren Jepsen from Copenhagen, Denmark had just this problem. To alleviate the head ache of answering these weekly questions, he partnered with freelance writer Anna Peuckert, herself based in Cologne, Germany to share their joint love for fashion, lifestyle and travel.
Together they created 12 hrs, an online guide that organizes information into twelve hour itineraries, sitting 'somewhere between the backpackers and the luxury hotels.' So far the guides include cities such as Antwerp, Berlin, Hyres, Portland, Vancouver and of course Jepsen's hometown of Copenhagen with more set to be uploaded.
Illustrated with large-scale photographs, each city post functions almost like a walking tour guide, listing the time to start the day, describing the places on the list to visit but including directions on how to get there and where to detour. What's most charming is the local insider tips on how to frugally order breakfast in Copenhagen, and how to participate in a special escorted tour by local TV host and fashion superstar, Tiany Kiriloff in Antwerp.

© 2015 Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald. All rights reserved.Pre-service and beginning teachers have to negotiate an unfamiliar and often challenging working environment, in both teaching spaces and staff spaces. Workplace Learning in Physical Education explores the workplace of teaching as a site of professional learning. Using stories and narratives from the experiences of pre-service and beginning teachers, the book takes a closer look at how professional knowledge is developed by investigating the notions of professional and workplace learning by drawing on data from a five year project. The book also critically examines the literature associated with, and the rhetoric that surrounds the practicum, fieldwork school experience and the induction year. The book is structured around five significant dimensions of workplace learning: ¿ Social tasks of teaching and learning to teach. ¿ Performance, practice and praxis. ¿ Identity, subjectivities and the profession/al. ¿ Space and place for, and of, learning. ¿ Micropolitics. As well as identifying important implications for policy, practice and research methodology in physical education and teacher education, the book also shows how research can be a powerful medium for the communication of good practice. This is an important book for all students, pre-service and beginning teachers working in physical education, for academics researching teacher workspaces, and for anybody with an interest in the wider themes of teacher education, professional practice and professional learning in the workplace.

© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.This article addresses the notion of ¿making it¿ as an early-career academic in physical education and sport pedagogy. In it, we draw on the tradition of material semiotics to reflect on our shared journeys from doctoral student to beginning scholar and beyond. By attuning ourselves to the relationality, materiality and precariousness of our experiences, we offer an answer to the question of what it takes to ¿make it¿ as an early-career academic by advocating the practice of ¿making do¿ or ¿doctoring.¿ We develop this argument, first, by describing the narrative methods we used to conduct our inquiry and by explaining the material-semiotic ideas we used to explore the stories it generated. Then, we tell tales of our transitions from higher degree research student to early-career academic, focusing specifically on our ongoing, collective efforts to make do. In our discussion, we explore these narratives and attend to three features of our actions and activities as early-career academics; namely semiotic relationality, material heterogeneity and the precarious processes of heterogeneous engineering through which we sought to make a career in our field. We conclude by encouraging beginning scholars in physical education and sport pedagogy to become sensitive to these aspects of their own agency, and to experiment, experience and tinker together in ways that are attentive, inventive, caring and persistent.

© 2016 Taylor & FrancisLittle is known about beginning teachers¿ political positioning experiences of the staffroom. This paper employs Bourdieu's conceptual tools of field, habitus and capital to explore beginning health and physical education teachers¿ positioning experiences and learning in staffrooms, the place in which teachers spend the majority of their non-teaching school time. From an Australian context, we present beginning (or emerging) teachers¿ stories from one rural general staffroom and one urban departmental staffroom. Using the narratives we reflect upon how their positioning in the politics of the staffroom as beginning teachers presented significant challenges including negotiating the professional micropolitics, negotiating capital and negotiating opportunities and risks for reflection and change in contrasting social spaces.

© 2015, © The Author(s) 2015.The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a pilot intervention using a gamecentered approach for improvement of physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE) outcomes simultaneously, and if this had an impact on enjoyment of PE. A group-randomized controlled trial with a 7-week wait-list control group was conducted in one primary school in the Hunter Region, NSW, Australia. Participants (n<107 students; mean age<10.7 years, SD 0.87) were randomized by class group into the Professional Learning for Understanding Games Education (PLUNGE) pilot intervention (n<52 students) or the control (n<55) conditions. PLUNGE involved 6 à 60 min PE lessons based on game-centered curriculum delivered via an in-class teacher mentoring program. Students were assessed at baseline and 7-week follow-up for fundamental movement skills (FMS) of throw and catch, game play abilities of decision making, support and skill performance; in-class PA; and enjoyment of PA. Linear mixed models revealed significant group-by-time intervention effects (p = 0.05) for throw (effect size: d<0.9) and catch (d<0.4) FMS, decision making (d<0.7) and support (d<0.9) during game play, and in-class PA (d<1.6). No significant intervention effects (p = 0.05) were observed for skills outcome during game play (d<¿0.2) or student enjoyment (d<0.1). Game-centered pedagogy delivered via a teacher professional learning program was efficacious in simultaneously improving students¿ FMS skills, in-class PA and their decision making and support skills in game play.

Paul Pritchard runs The Organic Herb Company with Michael Martin; they produce a range of organic blended herbs and spices, and uniquely flavoured seed, spice and herb oils for The Strawberry Tree kitchens, The StoreRooms and other outlets.
Sri Pandalla arrived to The Lodge from Catering College in Switzerland in 2004. Sri, just about gets to every part of Macreddin during his working day and if you haven't bumped into him, it means you've probably gone to bed too early!
Anna Gethings, well I've written about Anna on previous occasions, she totally controls the pastry section of the kitchen (truth be known, she controls much more!) Anna's hand is so fine for Summer Desserts, but I've always felt that her Winter Puds and Festive Desserts are her forte.
Long, long time ago, every year, well before we even yielded our harvest here on this Island…exotic foods like ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cumin had already set off to Ireland from India and slow-travelled, swapped and traded through The Ottoman region picking up sultanas, raisins, coriander, cloves and more. This perfect way of preserving foods then slowed boated it's way through the Mediterranean to Portugal, where the traders moved through Iberia and France swapping, trading and picking up, port, oranges, claret wines and Normandy cider, before arriving here in time to trade these exotic goods at our harvest markets.
It wasn't by coincidence that these foods arrived here during the major autumn markets that once took place all around Ireland at harvest time. Harvest provided a bounty to us and gave us the means to trade for these treasures. These provided much needed winter foods during those dark months, and indeed luxuries for the wealthier homesteads…spices and exotics like Seville oranges and maybe claret. In return we traded dried beef, Limerick hams, salted fish, crop harvest and livestock. This trade then moved on down through Europe back to Turkey to start the annual food circle once more…this was the way we traded in the world as we knew it, remaining this way for so many generations that it became tradition.
And tradition is what it has become; we've put our own twist on ginger, in our cakes and our famous ginger biscuits. We've put our own uses to these dried grapes in our Barm Brack, Plum Pudding and Christmas Cake. All these we think as being typically Irish, and of course time has made them this. But now think about cloves in our hot whiskey, think about nutmeg on our late night warm milk, we took Seville oranges and now it's 'our traditional Irish marmalade', we brought in Port and served it hot with sugar. We mulled our Bordeaux red wine with cinnamon and other spices.
We've given these once exotic foods an Irish twist…show me an Indian that would understand ground nutmeg on warm milk, or an Iberian that would tolerate their port being heated, or indeed a Turk that could comprehend that we boil their dried fruits into what we call Plum Pudding. Nonetheless that's what we did, we applied our take and our cooking methods and now we have integrated these foods into our traditional cooking. These perfectly preserved foods arrived to us in Ireland for hundreds of years, every year by slow-road and slow-boat…this undoubtedly was the original SlowFood, as we know it today.
And today Paul carries on this tradition and imports these, now, quintessentially 'Irish' Spices for the kitchens of Macreddin and The StoreRooms. Sri, of course has an inherent skill when it comes to understanding the spices that are needed to go into making the perfect 'wine mull' for you. And as for Anna, well when you were recovering from the Festives last January she was busy making your Plum Puddings for this Christmas, just like her mum and all our mums and grandmothers did… of course it's still Organic (like it always was) and it's on The Strawberry Tree menu and in The StoreRooms during December

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The room was very comfortable and very clean with all necessary things. The restaurant of the hotel was perfect with delicious bavarian kitchen and good prices.very close to the airport (15 min.). The breakfast was good with the possibility to order fresh and warm omelets or fried eggs.very recomandet hotel. It was far away from the town 45 min.) but close to the airport.
The people were great and the room was large, new, and comfortable.
We only spent one night in our 3 single rooms before our return to the US. The hotel is conveninet to the Munich airport, in the small, quaint town of Erding. It is adjacent to the Erlanger Brewery headquarters, and houses the brewery's restaurant - although the brewery itself is a few kms away. The rooms are totally modern, but still quaint and inviting. The restaurant had great food, great beers (of course), and the prices were reasonable. Breakfast was also very good including eggs to order, smoked salmon, etc, - and worth the 12 euro they charge for it. The only negative was the lighting. Nothing goes on until you insert your electronic key in the master switch. Although the arrangement saves electricity, as the lights go off after the key is removed, our rooms were too dark for reading unless you were in the bathroom.
friendliness of staff and warm atmosphere
Excellent service and excellent room confort Nothing
The location in a small town center and the fact of being an old brewery can't think of anything
Quality hotel with German style - which is just what we wanted. The food in the restaurant was very good too.
Stay was wonderful Had a little trouble locating the hotel..asked 3 locals for directions and all were poor.
Very nice hotel, recently refurbished and in a 'scenic' location on a typical Bavarian market square. Very friendly staff, spacious rooms and an excellent restaurant serving excellent local fare. Minibar stocks only water (still / sparkling) and beer (including non- alcoholic). There are no sweets or snacks. There could also be a bit more kit in the wardrobe (such as shoe horn or clothbrush).
The location was perfect for us. Only 40 min. to the city via the s-bhan, yet only 15 min to the air port. Our only problem wit the hotel was that they allowed smoking in the lounge. We were not comfortable with that. So we were forced to sit in the reception area to have a drink. The staff was accomidating, but I was still surprised at the scoff of the new smoking ban. To be fair it was not only the hotel. We found other place that were also breaking this new smoking ban.
The staff is absolutely lovely; exteremyl friendly, which made my stay very special The rooms are very clean; the style is a bit old-fashioned
friendly staff on arival, good central location, staff recomended and booked local resturant upon our information, which was fantastic
the rooms are a little bit smaler for 4 stars
Well appointed large rooms, fast, free wi-fi, in-room safe, mini bar and flat screen TV. (Smoking and non-smoking rooms available) Good location five minutes walk from town centre and one minute walk to railway station but still very quiet. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. About 15 minutes drive to the airport which could be a drawback for some but fine if you have transport. In-hotel restaurant open in the evening from 6.30pm ~ also hotel bar. Varied choices for breakfast both hot and cold items. All-in-all a great choice.
Erding is a great little town with a well known brewery. The brauhaus has great traditional german food. Almost everything in town is an easy walk from the hotel. Hotel is also 10 KM from Munich Airport, so we stay there when flying from Munich. A little on the expensive side and has no parking. You have to park at the train station parking lot down the street a short distance.
While Erding the city is on the outskirts of Munich, you can stay here and take the train into the city. I stayed here because I wanted a relax atmosphere away from the city. While it is near the airport, the hotel shuttle does not run on Sat and Sun. You can take a bus for 5 euros one way and takes about 20-30 minutes. There is a huge spa called Therme Erding in the city. You can take a 10 minute bus ride there as well.
Hotel was clean and tidy and rooms comfortable and we would recommend to others. Some of the staff require customer focus training but this is not a complaint just an observation as we will be coming back on a regular basis.
The hotel was nice and clean. the staff very polite and attentive. Erding is a small town very charming. Everything was OK"
roomes very spacious clean and well equiped cant think of anything to dislike at this hotel
Very nice hotel, large room, good breakfast. Convenient for the Therme
The close access to the Munich Airport. The personell was friendly and approachable. The shuttle bus operation wasn`t really precise.
The room was very nicely appointed and large for this price catagory. The city theme in all the rooms is a nice plus. Although the wireless LAN could be detected, I could not gain access even though at my next location my wireless connection worked perfectly. The signal strength was only fair (2 bars from 5) in my room. This is a serious fault for a hotel catering to business people. Please fix it! I highly recommend this Hotel provided they do something about this.
Friendliness of staff, location near airport Charge for Internet
Henry hotel is a good solid hotel in Erding. It is 5 minutes walk from the town center, and a 10-15 minutes drive from the airport, so it is great for a first or last night in Germany when flying from Munich. It was next to a fairly busy road. Internet costs 5 euro, while in all other hotels in Germany / Austria on this trip it was free.
Lovely hotel, great breakfast, clean room and bathroom. The patio is a great place to eat and relax.
Big room, good service, free airport shuttle, free wireless internet Wireless internet connection was slow and sometimes didn't connect at all
Good room, good breakfast, good staff
Allmost every thing No
Expensive parking (21 eu p day), close to airport but not AT airport. Need to take bus to get there.
Price for parking is very expensive. Internet connection is very low and poor.
Proximity to Airport Accomodations Friendly Staff
I think that this hotel should have shuttle to the airport. Breakfast is good but very expensive.
quite They don't have free shuttle bus from airport.
So clean, modern and welcoming all around. Parking is insanely expensive and breakfast at 21 euro per person does seem over the top. On the plus side, the breakfast was good.
Convenient location and helpful and friendly staff Expensive
Very good location if you have a very early flight out of Munich. The bus stop was less than 100 meters from the exit and the total bus ride was about 5 minutes to terminal 1. A shuttle would be nice, but the bus comes every 20 minutes. The non smoking room was clean and was more spacious than expected. While this is probably a no-brainer for the seasoned traveler, the 25 euro buffet for dinner was unsatisfactory. In hind-sight we should have ordered room service with the fee, it would have been cheaper and possibly more palatable.
Proximity to airport, modern, clean, typical Novotel business hotel It's not quite at the airport, no shuttle. You have to take a city bus from the airport to get there and it takes you 15 mins - inconvenient. The internet wasn't working well or at all, which, for a business hotel, is not acceptable.
How easy it was to get there and to public transportation. The rooms were really clean. Breakfast was great and the staff was friendly. There was no small store nearby to by things we forgot (baby items, soap etc)
The staff at the front desk and the cleanliness of the room. Bathrooms were well equipped Staff at the bar wasn't too nice and seemed a little overwhelmed with not that many customers
No bar facilities
Hotel Linner was a great location to the Munich airport. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The breakfast was great!
Good location. Next to bus stop from MUC airport. Close to city centre of Erding. Everything was clean and neat. Good breakfast buffé.
Close to the city of Erding (walking distance), which is a charming place with lots of restaurants and shops. Efficient staff, clean, comfortable rooms. Wired internet free of charge (they provide the cable!). Nice breakfast buffet. Only one--the "shuttle" to/from the airport turned out to be a very expensive (25 Euro each way!) taxi ride, or a bus (which is impractical with luggage). In effect, the hotel rate increased by 50 Euro.
Very clean, efficient, pleasant staff, good breakfast, good location to Munich Missing soup (shampoo) holder(s) in the shower
Stayed in new hotel on opening day - staff on duty very helpful. Downtown Erding is very charming making a stay in Erding a better experience than at a hotel located directly at airport prior to next day connection. Liked that there is a refrigerator and tea making faclities on the floor for use by guests. The water from shower flows out of shower area into rest of bathroom. Does not seem to be a way to prevent this.
Located 15 mins. by taxi from Munich, Germany airport. Very new, super clean, friendly and helpful reception. Situated in Erding, a charming, quaint and elegant town, with good dining choices a modest walk from the hotel. Bedding was luxurious and comfortable. Hotel has a lift and the breakfast was extensive and delicious. Very little noise from the traffic on surrounding streets.
The facilities were very good and the staff were very helpful. Thank you for a happy visit.
A wonderful small new hotel located just a short drive from MUC, Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport. Having made an early reservation for the last night of our three-week European trip, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful bathroom design, modern and functional furniture, and by the hotel's walking proximity to the historical center of Erding. Our one night stay ended with a very nice buffet-style breakfast. This hotel does not have a restaurant but there are several excellent dining choices within a five-minute walking distance. We had one of our best Indian food dinners at the nearby Shiraz restaurant. (The original owner was an Iranian, hence the name.)
Clean, modern and close to airport. Excellent breakfast and staff.
Great location for visits to the spa at Erding. The hotel provides a free convenient shuttle service. Excellent breakfast buffet with delicious homemade Birchermüsli and homemade cakes. The hotel restaurant offers very good food.
very clean and convenient hotel especially to the airport
Facilities were contemporary and room very clean. Room was like a shoebox and really just too small. I did not pay for the cheapest single room but the superior - the difference I was told was only in the size of the bed. Also, I arrived by train only to find that "taxis are scarce" (words of hotel staff) and hence in driving rain had to find my way by foot from the station. I was soaked!
Very, very nice! All was good!
Boutique type of hotel close to centre of Erding.Very friendly staff.Clean modern room.Easy to park outside and hi speed wired internet in room I found the bed a bit hard but thats just a personal point....others would probably like it that way.
Good hotel with interesting design in the rooms. Breakfast was very good. The location is very convenient if you need to stay close to Munich airport.
cleanliness Did not like the location. website indicated the location was in town. Too far to walk.
great hotel for using the airport.shuttle and parking included expensive breakfast
airport access was quite reasonable
breakfast buffet excellent check in system resulted in being given a room already occupied!!!
Clean, well laid out rooms, with comfortable beds. Good buffet breakfast. Our rooms were very hot, and there was no air conditioning. Fans were provided, but as my mother's single room had no window (she only had a skylight), she was unable to cool off her room, unlike my husband and I, who were able to open our window.
The restaurant was excellent value It was a bit remote
The rooms were very small but were clean. There was a restaurant. I did not like that it was falsely advertised as an airport hotel. It is no where near the airport. In fact it is 30 euros away by taxi. There was an advertised shuttle but it is 14 euros per person and has to be ordered 24 hours in advance. The hotel is no where near anything so I was sincerely disappointed in this selection.
It is located neir the Therme Erding, excelent apportunity of relaxing and enjoying the water games. Unavailability of transportation between Therme and the hotel.
Good communication with Minich Airport.
I did not receive my wake up call and I was dropped off at the wrong terminal at the airport
modern, just recently opened guesthouse, comfortable rooms with small kitchens, excellent breakfast buffet and helpful, friendly staff
hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly,. Room was very nicely decorated with modern furniture.
this hotel was started a few weeks ago, so everything is quite new and clean.great spa center is just 10min far from there by car. unfortunatery hot water was not avairable,but treatment by staffs was nice. around hotel almost nothing. only green field there.
everything was like it was written on booking.com hotel poage :-)
The staff at the hotel is excellent! They were extremely attentive! This is a new facility with a lot of lovely features. I would highly recommend this hotel.
very friendly, very quiet. Nice breakfast - very expensive taxi ride from the airport! Had I known it would add another 70 euros to my costs (there and back), I would have booked a much more expensive hotel with a free airport shuttle
Located in quiet area with plenty of parking. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient also a variety of foods served at breakfast buffet.
nothing It is unthinkable that a hotel which fubctions as transit to the airport,will have breakfast from 8:00 O'clock (even it it is Sunday). What's more, a payment has been charged for it.
Friendly staff, comfortable beds, good breakfast, close proximity to Therme Erding, discount tickets to water park The smoking area right outside the front door.
Location is fine, at few minutes walk from Aufhausen train station. Rooms are good, spacious and washrooms are clean and spacious as well. As hotel is located little bit outside the village so you can enjoy fresh air in the morning and can sleep peacefully during night! Not really, only breakfast could be a let down, may be I more used to 4 star and plus buffets as I could not find cruisants or enough variety of breads but again not a big deal, you can find something to eat.Nice coffee machine for cofee lovers.
cleanliness no
The owner was very helpful and the hotel was very convenient to the airport....which is why we chose it, since we had an early flight. It was great having the free wireless connection in the room.
clean room. Internet is free but very slow. There is bar or restaurant. The hotel is located far from teh center
Near and easy to the airport, clean, the staff was very helpful, there is a kitchen and fitness room in the basement
The bedding and the cleanliness of the hotel. The location was fantastic if you have a car. Beautiful location. However we we overnighting between flights and it was not easy to get public transport to the hotel. I had asked for a room not near the lift well and was given the only room next to the lift well. It was fixed straight away once I raised the issue. We were stopping overnight between flights and this hotel was not appropriate for this.
Easy access to Munich Airport. The staff was very pleasant. Hearty breakfast.
Close to the city center Coffee machine available just for airplane crew
Location was great,Erding is a great little town with some good restaurants and bars,the hotel was perfect for what I wanted although the breakfast was not great. The only iiisue for me was that the breakfast was not great.
In the famous town of Erding, Germany and Erdinger beer.
My welcome from reception, all the young ladies were so helpful, efficient, friendly and smiling. As were all the staff. Free private parking was advertised on the site, which was one reason for booking, it was not.
Nothing especially Internet access not included, expensive but poor
Fantastic hotel Very Nice. Be Ware the Hotel Shuttle is expensive 2 of us in a car charged almost 30 Euro 1 way. The S-Bahn takes just under an hour with 1 change
Everything was above average Close to airport. Resturant/bar great
Great hotel! The staff was top notch and the room was extremely comfortable. The location was directly across from the train station and a 25 euro taxi ride to the airport.
The place was great and the staff was very friendly.
We only stayed one night arrived late and the barman stayed late to serve us drinks, the room was first class and incrdibily clean. no
No restaurant inside the hotel.
Simple. Clean. Comfortable. I would have loved to see free access to internet (there is by charge access available but still...)
Great location, minutes from the airport. Departure screens in the lobby keep you updated on flights and gates. Love that breakfast starts as early as 4 am for those early fliers and they put out free evening food when you get in late. Lots of families and seniors there when I came through as it is very good value for the money and extremely convenient. Clean and modern rooms; everything you need. Did not like that the wifi did not work in my room during my stay ... had to do calls and mail from the lobby. Problem with their authentication local staff could not fix.
Location Location Location cost of parking
Too expensive for what you are getting. Also they charge you for airport shuttles...
The hotel can supply it's customer with no charge parking
Staff exceeded expectations.
Good continental breakfast. Very convenient to the airport. Single rooms are very small.
It was clean
Nice food. Suggest to increase the Chinese food. The wireless is popular right now. I have travelled in many country with free charge of the internet in hotel. Please consider about this.
Bfrekfast at 4 am. is really nice idea. There was some problem with my reservation from booking, but finally hotel was quiet empty so I got room.
Relative cheap price; early bird breakfast; nice room The noice from the corridores came in to the room.
The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooms clean and modern. The facilites were conventient for the Munich airport. No issues--all was fine.
nice hotel , with nice reciption non
Thourghly enjoyable stay. Dining was superb and staff only too happy to help. Would definitely stay with this company and in this hotel again
Location near the airport is excellent, clean room, very nice staff and organised well The cost of breakfast was high - 21 Euros for some cereal!! also the shuttle to the airport - 8 Euros - cheaper to take a taxi
Nothing, thankfully it was an over night stay and an early flight out in the morning. The 18 Euros breakfast as advertised on the web site included an abundance of house flies in the dining area!!
Proximity to the airport, shuttle bus service although considered a bit expensive and very pleasant and attentive front desk staff Nothing disliked thank you for a pleasent stay on 2 occasions.
Location Exagerated rate which did not equal to the offered service
Your staff was very helpful. The reception desk helped a great deal and should be commended.
Very much a big problem this smoking . I was in a hall before the manager with the child. All smoked in a hall. And it not probably to accept. Therefore we have changed hotel. It is necessary to forbid smoking in hotel. For smoking there should be special places
Spacious suite, very accommodating staff, comparable to Aloft or Element-type hotels in US No restaurant, only self-service "grab-n-go" food
We left the car at Vogel Parking garage Munchen Airport and spent last night before the flight at Moxy. Hotel is directly connected to a parking garage therefore we left our luggage in a car, pick it up in the morning and use a (free of charge) shuttle bus to Airport. Hotel staff was very kind, room was peaceful and they have everything what you need if you are hungry or thirsty. Shuttle bus should be included in a price
Liked easy access from airport. We stayed at this hotel during an overnight layover......was perfect. Liked having food and beverage available as we arrived late. Friendly staff.
The hotel was near the train into the city, and only a 15 minute drive from the airport. The car noise off the main road in front. Hard to sleep in, especially if your window was open.
The internet connection was good, the desk staff spoke English, the breakfast room was cute, and there's a great, cheap Thai restaurant nearby, which you could walk to if you had to. (You have to go the long way around because of the railroad tracks.) I did not think the room was maintained on a level with the atmosphere the hotel was trying to project. The mattress and duvet were thin (if adequate). Scuff marks on the walls, moldy grout in the shower, and no shower curtain (rings for a curtain, but no curtain). The toilet paper holder fell apart unceremoniously on its second use. Little things like that. Still, perfectly adequate.
The Staff was very nice and helpful. The room was large and clean. We stayed there to go to the Galaxy Water Park and it was very close and convenient but I thought the price was a bit high. Overall it was a nice experience.
The staff were very helpful and arranged transport to the airport for us as well as being sure all our needs were met. It is also very close to the S-bahn...an easy walk. Just a heads up for anyone using google maps to locate the hotel as they do not have it correctly located on their map.
Convenience of rail transportation to Munich and closeness of airport. Inflated room cost because of Oktoberfest.
comfort, combination with breakfast, check-in after closing of reception not easy to find in the dark
Ideally situated for getting quickly into Munich by rail.
Comfortable bed, very generous breakfast I could not change my room since my arrival was after the desk clerk had gone, I had a smoking room and it was very difficult for me to breath.
The friendliness of the staff and convenience of the proximity to Airport Munchen. No
Clean , neat , good breakfast , helpful staff.
Friendly atmosphere, very welcoming. No facilities for tea & coffee in room
Good location. Some staff very good. Poor facilities in rooms. No irons, kettles, fridges etc. No washing facilities in hotel, or laundry service. Didn't accept Diners card - as adveertised.
kindness and services
Very close to centre of town with easy access to shops,transport and restaurants. Parking appeared difficult
basic but comfortable. close to the airport in a pretty town. a world famous local brewer's own pub is just 20m away.
Excellent central location, staff very pleasant and helpful, room spacious and very clean, breakfast was very continental so may not suit everyone, we would recommend this hotel.
Small hotel. Personal contact with owner. Manager was extremely helpful and pleasant. Hotel was very well located for our needs. 15 mins by car to Munich airport.
Good central location, friendly staff Room was very warm during the night
Friendly staff, central location Lack of ironing and laundry facilities, Parking available but challenging.
basic room and very basic bathroom too expensive for the location.not handy for the airport
Unfortunately we stayed only one night, but enjoyed very much the hours we spent there, most important for us was the easy and very short time to get to the airport. I would'nt change anything.
Nice clean hotel with excellent cuisine Sound isolation of the room
The pay per view films were not working.
Excellent value for a hotel in this area. Highly recommend for anyone. The hotel is very convenient to the Munich Airport. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bathrooms were warm and have all of the extras. The kitchen is excellent, serving a number of local German dishes at very reasonable prices. Breakfast was fresh, great choices and plentiful. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating The hotel airport shuttle costs EU 8 for each way.
Very convenient to airport, quiet, comfortable bed.
very nice rooms and quite large as well. excellent restaurant, good food and service. I think when you are located far from the airport the transportation to and from the airport should be provided for free in principle. WiFi signal is not that strong in all rooms.
very clean very comfortable well appointed room interesting design (central glass lift) location was too isolated, no shops for a long distance by foot staff did not speak English well enough, I needed to find shops but the girl did not explain it to me precisely (did not know 'left' from 'right') and I got lost Shuttle bus should be included in the price and it was not easy to find it at the airport, there was no signpost at the bus complex Hotel should offer all-inclusive deal at a good price, it does not Breakfast did not have any hot food, only cold meats, cheese, eggs, cereals, etc, compared to same hotel in Zurich airport the breakfast was not as good Hotel should offer a small kiosk with basic provisions plus telephone vouchers for making fixed line calls and a normal fixed line instead of the expensive phone you have there - it is a waste of time and money. Instead I will just use my cell phone. I prefer Zurich Aìrport Movenpick where I get a fixed line normal phone in the lobby.
we only stayed one night but we enjoyed our room very much. it was very clean and comfortable. we have tea and coffe in the room. we ate at the restorant and the food was very tasty.
I had a long layover in Munich and need a place to rest overnight. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport was most convienent.
Rooms tastefully decorated and all amenities extremely helpful. We had previously stayed at the Munich Vier Jahreszeiten, which was excellent, but for small pleasant details, the Moevenpick was more imaginative. Breakfast was outstanding--a gourmet delight. We liked everything.
Rooms and restaurant Choise in minibar is too small
Easy access from/to Airport,large rooms,clean bathroom. We had a room that smelling terrible from the previous smoking guest. We had to open the door for 2 hours with outside temperature in 6oC.
Room very clean,staff helpfull. For airport shuttle must inform the hotel few days before,othervise must take taxi to reach to airport and cost 30euro.
Room was okay, but too far from city center, breakfast was simple but good for money. We stayed this hotel because of late check-in after arrival at the airport. It is quite far from airport either (32Euro by taxi) location
Very nice hotel. Convienent to the Airport. Huge rooms and excellent restaurant. Very good breakfast.
Helpful, gracious staff that very willingly assisted us, awesome morning buffet, clean comfortable rooms. this site mentioned airport shuttle. Even though shuttle was requested none was available, and the fee would have been 25 Euros.
Convenient location.
It was an excellent stay, the staff were most helpful and friendly and the breakfasts were really good. If we go back to the Munich area, this hotel will be high on our list of choices. I had not appreciated that the hotel did not serve dinner and was, in effect, a hotel garni. There was an italian restaurant in the same buidling but run separately and we could not charge to the hotel account. Once we knew this, there was no problem, but it might have been more clearly stated. We had not appreciated that the hotel was on the outskirts of Erding, but again, this did not matter in the event.
The staff were very friendly and helpful for recommending a restaurant. The room was very clean and bright. There was no computer available for guest to use. All employees should learn and have basic information about the area around the hotel. For example it would have been very helpful if they knew where we could personally go to wash our clothes at a laundromat. People that travel don't always have time for the hotel to do it the next day service.
Cleanliness of room, service, breakfast, staff. Walk to train!! Their Italian restaurant, excellent! Not much to do in the hotel.
Near the airport if you have a car, good restaurant No English TV aprt from CNN which unless you want to be brainwashed with US media is useless for a Brit.
proximity to big Thermal Spa.Short walk to S BahnComfortable room. Surly reception,big construction site noise from early till late
The Hotel is a simple pension, with a decent breakfast. It is clean and tidy and easy to find. Only a ten minute walk to Therme Erding. It is about a 10 min walk from Altenerding S-Bahn station
It was quiet and within walking distance to a little store for any necessities. If I go back to Erding, this is the hotel for me! The rooms could have been a little warmer and maybe offered a few more towels, but nothing to prevent my going back!
I thought the hotel was very over priced for the type of accommodation offered.
Very clean and nice I did not know the hotel was on top of a dealership.
Very helpful staff, very clean & comfortable rooms, breakfast was excellent. Price & quality of Hotel was unbelievable
tv i got another room that i expected, no toilet in the room, i got discount because of that, but i was not ok for me. i booked room with toilet... and i recived sth else
Good tv selection (although only 1 English station, but then we are not in England are we!); great shower; very good breakfast.
Clean and comfortable, very quiet. Parking was no problem.
Not very impressive from the outside, if you walk up the staircase you would never imagine what the hotel is like, but once inside it was remarkable. The breakfast was especially good value for money and delicious! The staircase was dark, narrow and dirty.
In accordance with my need: proximity of the airport Visa cards not very appreciated

Prime Minister Silvio Belusconi is in deep trouble over reports he had prostitutes to his home and has been allegedly having affairs with young girls. His wife has grown weary of his roving eyes, and now President Obama can join those who really get bored by the Italian's approach to diplomacy. The Italian prime minster told a Milan rally, that he was bringing greetings from the United States from, "what's his name?Some tanned guy. Ah, Barack Obama." He also took a jab at the First Lady with "you won't believe it, but two of them sent to the beach because the wife is also tanned."
The European media reported during the recent G-20 summit, Michelle Obama greeted many leaders with a kiss, but when Berlusconi showed up, he got a handshake. The media also noted the Italian Casanova spent his time gazing at the body of Mrs. Obama.
Take away this man's money and what do you have– an old man who drools with envy at beauty that he can never have.

Wastewater & Onsite Systems | Residuals
Residuals may not be the prettiest material. But to crops hungry for nutrients, they can be a beautiful sight. Residuals are the organic, nutrient-rich solid, semi-solid, or liquid residues removed from wastewater during the treatment process. They can be incinerated or sent to a landfill. However, if they are of sufficient quality, they may be applied to farmland as a fertilizer. Such residuals are often called biosolids.
Since its creation in 1993, NEIWPCC's Residuals Workgroup has been working to enhance interstate communication on issues associated with residuals from wastewater treatment, on-site sewage disposal, and drinking water treatment. The workgroup meets 3-4 times a year, and is comprised of NEIWPCC and EPA staff along with the residuals coordinators of our member states' environmental agencies. Through the workgroup, NEIWPCC works to promote compatibility among state and federal sludge and septage management programs. We provide a forum for interstate discussion as well as technical assistance and coordination.
A recent addition to NEIWPCC's residuals management area of expertise has been focused on fats, oil, and grease (FOG). As the environmental community moves to more stringently manage FOG, it is essential that there be adequate treatment capacity to manage the material removed from private and municipal wastewater systems.
NEIWPCC's FOG workshops and associated resources have highlighted various treatment alternatives for this material. Treatment options discussed include private grease pretreatment facilities, composting, land application, and incineration (with municipal solid waste and sewage sludge). The workshops have focused on treating the material once it is removed from the wastewater system and emphasized that there are properties within this material making it suitable for various types of beneficial reuse.

Wednesday March 21 2012 marks World Down Syndrome Day. And it made me remember my year in Hanoi, Vietnam working at Hold the Future as a VSO volunteer. We had many Down Syndrome young people living and working at the Center. They were the most loving and wonderful people and provided me with many fond memories.
Hold the Future offers vocational training and handicraft production work. Most of the time there are between 30 to 50 young people working there. It's not great pay because the products are sold quite cheaply to remain competitive with other handicraft producers.
But the Center provides accommodation, all meals and a chance for young people to work for their own livelihood. The young people often work right through the week, including week-ends. There is the odd public holiday and two weeks off over the oriental New Year. But on the whole they work long hours.
The training is also over a long period. At least 6 months of repetitive learning processes might stop most people from enjoying this kind of work. For the young people at Hold the Future it's something they love doing. Being able to support themselves is a dream come true.
In particular the rolled paper decorated greeting cards and rolled paper small jewellery containers were the favourite products to make. Of course rolling paper very tightly into small balls isn't everybody's idea of great fun. But for the Down Syndrome members at the Center they loved it. They were good at it and enjoyed their work.
And friendly and smiling faces most of the time. Of course they weren't immune to unhappiness. But the Down Syndrome people were much readier to let go and smile again than most people I've come across. I loved visiting with them and sitting next to them at meal time or chatting to them via an interpreter. Never did get my head around Vietnamese. Fond memories indeed.
Thinking of many lovely Down Syndrome people today on their special celebratory day.

Test allows doctors to see disease without microscope
Scientists in Britain say they have developed a super-sensitive test using nanoparticles to spot markers for cancer or the Aids virus in human blood serum using the naked eye.
As it does not need sophisticated equipment, the test-tube technique should be cheap and simple, making it a boon for disease detection in poor countries, the team wrote in Nature Nanotechnology.
Researchers from Imperial College London used the technology to scan for molecules of p24, a marker for HIV infection, and Prostate Specific Antigen or PSA, an early indicator of prostate cancer.
Their method is used to analyse serum, a light-yellow fluid that is extracted from blood by a centifuge and is commonly used in health tests.
"If the result is positive for p24 or PSA, there is a reaction that generates irregular clumps of nanoparticles, which give off a distinctive blue hue in a solution inside the container," said a statement.
The reaction, in response to the presence of antibodies, occurred even at ultra-low concentrations of p24 or PSA.
"If the results are negative, the nanoparticles separate into ball-like shapes, creating a reddish hue. Both reactions can be easily seen by the naked eye."
Nanoparticles are microscopic clusters of atoms sized between one and 100 nanometres (a billionth of a metre), that are seen as a promising field of research for their potential in delivering medicines, for example.
The team said their visual sensor technology was 10 times more sensitive than existing standard methods for measuring p24 and PSA biomarkers – molecules that can indicate the presence of disease.
The test allows doctors to see disease without microscope
It was able to detect minute levels of p24 in patients with low viral loads that went undetected using some existing tests.
The new method was also 10 times cheaper.
Study co-author Roberto de la Rica said the test would allow people to be diagnosed at an earlier state of disease and thus treated sooner.
"We also believe that this test could be significantly cheaper to administer, which could pave the way for more widespread use of HIV testing in poorer parts of the world."
But study co-author Molly Stevens said the method had yet to be tested in a large patient trial to confirm its usefulness.
As yet, the technique cannot pinpoint how big the concentration of HIV or cancer markers is.
"It is an 'on-off' test," Stevens cautioned. "It does not say specifically how many biomarkers are in blood, but only if they are present."

This website is part of the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) network
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
ECDC is enhancing its surveillance activities for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. ECDC is watching for any infectious disease health events that could present a public health threat and as of Friday 20 July, a summary of relevant health events will be included in the weekly Communicable Disease Threat Report (CDTR), published on this website.
Global mass gathering events can present challenges for public health because of their scale and the possible additional demands made of the public health services. To tackle these challenges, surveillance systems can be enhanced to target specific diseases or syndromes and to support timely response actions to reduce their impact and risk of spread.
ECDC is carrying out enhanced international event-based surveillance as part of its routine epidemic intelligence activities July to September. It has adapted media screening tools to assist detecting timely infectious disease threats which may be relevant for the Games, the host and participating countries. The use of social media and blog fora as a mechanism of timely identification of disease threats is being explored in this context.
ECDC is working together with the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in the UK and international partners such as the World Health Organisation to undertake epidemiological monitoring and intelligence of international health events. As part of this joint activity, ECDC will have a liaison officer at the HPA and persons from HPA will be seconded to ECDC during the Olympics. This close collaboration will permit comprehensive risk assessment and shared understanding of any potential international threats to both the Games and to the wider European community during this time. A daily bulletin containing information on events relevant from a public health perspective is being provided to EU Member States public health authorities.
A summary of relevant infectious disease threats is included in the weekly CDTR, and is similar to the summary of threats monitored for EURO 2012.
Large gatherings of people raise the potential of public health risks from both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Based on experience from previous such mass gatherings, it is unlikely that infectious diseases – which is ECDC's mandated focus - will be a major problem at London 2012. On current information, there were no major public health problems at the recent EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
The greatest risk for visitors, when it comes to infectious diseases, is likely to be related to food and waterborne diseases, such as food poisoning due to inappropriately handled food items or inadequate hand hygiene practices.
The organisers of these mass gatherings have published public messages about how to stay healthy in order to best enjoy these events. Preventative measures that people can take themselves and can contribute to keeping others healthy include things such as: washing hands regularly, ensure relevant vaccinations are up to date (particularly for measles, mumps and rubella), practice safe sex, apply sunscreen to avoid sunburn, drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and stay at home if you feel unwell.

Four members of the BYU baseball team, outfielders Jaycob Brugman and Jacob Hannemann, and infielders Adam Law and Brock Whitney, were named to the All-West Coast Conference squad.
Hannemann was also named WCC Freshman of the Year. Hannemann was one of two freshmen on the All-WCC squad and was also named to the 10-member All-WCC Freshman team along with teammate Hayden Nielsen, a shortstop.
"I'm extremely happy for all of our players who were recognized for their tremendous seasons," BYU coach Mike Littlewood said. "Adam, Brock and Jaycob stepped up this year and carried us at times. Each one of them has consistently gotten timely hits, played great defense, and were a stabilizing force for our team. This team would not have had the success it's had without each one of these guys rising to the occasion."
Nielsen also joined two teammates for honorable mention All-WCC: relief pitcher Matt Milke and Desmond Poulson.

Deciding which points are the most important to prove the
elements of the case and to make sure that proof takes place.
Telling clearly what they intend to prove in the opening statement
and arguing effectively in their closing argument that the facts
and evidence presented prove their cases.
Introducing documentary or physical evidence.
Following the formality of the court, e.g., standing up when the
judge enters or when addressing the judge, calling the judge "Your
Honor," etc.
Phrasing questions on direct examination that are not leading.
(Carefully review the rules of evidence and watch for this type of
questioning in practice sessions).
Refraining from asking so many questions on cross-examination that
well-made points are lost. When a witness has been contradicted or
otherwise discredited, student attorneys tend to ask additional
questions, which often lessens the impact of points previously
made. Pointless questions should be avoided! Questions should
require answers that will make only good points for the side.
Thinking quickly on their feet when a witness gives an unexpected
answer, an attorney asks unexpected questions or makes unexpected
objections, or a judge throws questions at the attorney or

Live Right 4 Your Type
by Peter J. D'Adamo
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Easier to use if you know your blood group first. I could not change my lifestyle to fit to this but I found many helpful hints and ideas that I can easily do and did make a difference.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0399146733, Hardcover)The idea that blood type plays a role in health, wellness, and personality wasn't exactly new when Dr. Peter D'Adamo came out with Eat Right 4 Your Type in 1997. The idea had been around for most of the 19th century, and had gained quite a bit of currency in Japan. But it was a startling idea to most Americans, who made the book a bestseller that was translated into more than 40 languages and spawned a similarly successful sequel, Cook Right 4 Your Type.
Now, Dr. D'Adamo--armed with new studies on genetic links between blood types, disease, and behavior--looks at the psychological and medical peculiarities that seem to predominate in one blood type or another. Type O's, for example, have lower than average amounts of a brain chemical called dopamine, leading to poor concentration, hyperactivity, and temper tantrums. A's tend to manufacture too much cortisol, a stress hormone that can lead to hypertension and has even been implicated in Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Type B's and AB's clear nitric oxide out of their systems faster, allowing them to calm down more rapidly than other blood types when stressed.
Dr. D'Adamo offers detailed lifestyle modifications for each type, including exercise programs, long lists of food to either seek out or avoid, and suggested treatment of specific illnesses. Some of this gets pretty arcane, including his recommendation of bladder wrack (a seaweed) for ulcer treatment of Type O's.
A big part of the appeal of this book series is that anyone reading it can become a participant by joining Dr. D'Adamo's blood-type registry at www.dadamo.com. Live Right for Your Type is peppered with testimonials from these registrants, giving the reader a sense that a true transformation in health, appearance, weight, and well-being is just a few diet and lifestyle changes away. --Lou Schuler
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:34 -0400)
Shows readers how to live well according to their blood type, offering a comprehensive plan for achieving total well-being.

Did you ever get the feeling you were the last drink writer or bartender on earth without an iPhone app to call your own? That's how I felt when I read my email this morning. With Simon Difford, Cocktail DB/Doc Cocktail, Jimmy Patrick, and soon Cheryl Charming each having iPhone cocktail applications, it only make sense that Gary Regan and Mardee Haidin Regan would jump into the fray, as they announced today via email. The new app, called Flip N Drink, promises hundreds of cocktail recipes with more to come in future months. The recipes are not just from the... Read more →

I don't know about you, but when I think about a person who has the moral standing to call out the Catholic Church for a lack of moral conviction, I think of abortion-on-demand advocate Karen Finney. Okay, not really, but apparently MSNBC does.
On the February 28 edition of The Cycle, the former DNC communications director and current NARAL Pro-Choice America board member explained her thoughts as a "Berkeley Catholic" who wants to see the Church do more for the poor and downtrodden, while piping down when it comes to teaching biblical sexual ethics and opposing abortion (emphasis mine):
ALEX WAGNER: There seems to be a real push for some kind of changes here to the orthodoxy.
KAREN FINNEY: Well, and also I think at the heart of it, and I do think this holds up with your analogy. I consider myself a Berkeley Catholic, which was much more about the social doctrine and our values and a lot less about birth control and some of those other things, but, you know, how do you live your life -- how do you care for those, you know, less fortunate?
But you see the Church particularly I think in the West, in the aftermath of these scandals, increasingly people feeling like the Church is not relevant to their lives, and it's not preaching, the theology is not relevant to the challenges that people are facing, to the reality of how people are living their lives. As you were saying with regard to birth control, it's sort of like a wink-wink that like 98 percent of Catholic women in America have used birth control, consider themselves Catholic, but, hey, shhh, we're just not going to talk about it.
So I think those statistics point out that, you know, the faithful, the nature of the faithful is changing, and what we need and want from the Church is changing, and I don't, I think the problem is that the people who are, it's the same people, so how can the same voices and faces make that change?
Completely lacking on the panel was any conservative Catholic voice who would disagree with Finney and Wagner and point out that, yes, the Church speaks to "the reality of how people are living their lives," it's just that a lot of folks don't want to hear that the way they are living their lives is sinful and needs to be reformed.
What's more, while it is true that the face of the Church is changing, as host Alex Wagner noted earlier in the segment, the Catholic Church was declining in membership in Europe but growing in South America and booming in sub-Saharan Africa. As such, the church is growing in more theologically conservative and poorer areas of the globe but stagnating in more liberal, secularist parts of the world. Yes, the face of the Church is changing, but the vast bulk of the laity of the church is increasingly from parts of the world which are less materialistic, more religious and more conservative than Europe and North America.
If the church is increasingly conservative and racially diverse, shouldn't the folks at the Lean Forward network be excited about, well, moving forward, rather than wishing for the Church to cater to the dwindling minority of its population in the secular West?

ORLANDO, Fla. – The University of Miami men's tennis team finished their dual match against UCF today, falling to the in-state rivals 4-3, at the UCF Tennis Complex.

Tulo, CarGo unlikely to be on the move
The Colorado Rockies would seem a good bet to join the salary-dump parade. But don't count on it happening.
The team does not intend to trade either of its highest-priced players, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki or outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, according to major league sources.
A knockout offer could alter such plans quickly, but the Rockies are reluctant to make a dramatic move with Tulowitzki and/or Gonzalez for two reasons, sources say:
*The team's position players, when healthy, are capable of forming a dominant offense at hitter-friendly Coors Field.
*The pitchers who appeal to the Rockies are affordable strike throwers with high groundball rates, and not even players as good as Tulowitzki and Gonzalez would bring back enough arms who fit that narrow description.
To illustrate the difficulty of the Rockies' quest, consider how limited their options would be if they wanted to trade a lesser player such as center fielder Dexter Fowler to a pitching-rich team such as the Atlanta Braves.
Fowler, 26, is reasonably attractive; his defensive metrics aren't especially good, but he had an .863 OPS last season (.720 on the road) and is under club control for three more seasons.
Problem is, which Braves pitchers would fit at Coors Field?
Not Tommy Hanson, Mike Minor or Brandon Beachy — all are flyball types. Tim Hudson would be perfect, but he is under contract for only one more year and the Braves wouldn't trade him easily, if at all. Kris Medlen, too, would be ideal, but no way the Braves would move him.
OK, now let's ponder Gonzalez to the Texas Rangers. The Rockies surely would love to get Matt Harrison or Alexi Ogando, but what are the odds? Not great, and the Rockies would be better off keeping Gonzalez and his club-friendly contract than making a bad trade.
On the other hand, the potential benefit of such a deal financially would be difficult for the Rockies to dismiss.
Tulowitzki, who did not play after May 30 last season due to a groin ailment that eventually required surgery, is owed $140 million over the next eight years. Gonzalez is owed $74 million over the next five.
Neither player has a no-trade clause, and the assignment bonuses in their contracts are barely a deterrent. Gonzalez gets $1 million each time he is traded, Tulowitzki $2 million the first time.
Eventually, the Rockies figure to move one or the other. Just not yet.
-Ken Rosenthal
Tulowitzki to the cards they have extra arms to deal and really need a SS, how about lance Lynn and Kyle losh
First of all, why do people think that Tulo or Cargo are available? Those long term contracts were negotiated for the benefit of both team and player and nothing has changed to alter that. To win in Denver you need to be able to outslug the other team (whenever necessary) and make ALL of the plays in the field. By this I mean turning ground ball base hits into double plays and doubles (and triples) into outs. Can you say Tulo and Cargo? Both of these guys play game-altering defense and offensively are as good as anyone in the game. Next dumb question?

How to Disable MDS with Predator
i have an 06 GC 5.7L Hemi. i recently installed a magnaflow muffler and then the 93 octance performance tune from diablosport predator. i know several of you have disabled the mds. i searched here, diablosport, and google and cannot figure out how to do it. i go into performance tune, then into quick adjust and there isn't anything about mds. any help is appreciated.
Re: How to Disable MDS with Predator
He said it was only an issue for the 2005's - but maybe he was wrong.
His email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Actually... try going to "install tune" then "install 93 tune" and then "modify tune" then "mofidy tune" again and see if it is in that menu - instead of just going through the quick adjust.

Tomato Nation has some advice and tough love for people my age
My favorite part is number 19:
Take care of yourself. If you are sick, visit a doctor. If you are sad, visit a shrink or talk to a friend. If you are unhappy in love, break up. If you are fed up with how you look, buy a new shirt or stop eating cheese. If you have a problem, try to fix it. Many problems are knotty and need a lot of talking through, or time to resolve, but after a few months of all complaining and no fixing, those around you will begin to wonder if you don't enjoy the problems for the attention they bring you. Venting is fine; inertia coupled with pouting is not. Bored? Read a magazine. Mad at someone? Say so — to them. Change is hard; that's too bad. Effort counts. Make one. Your mommy's shift is over.
I do most (but not quite all) of the things on the list. It's a good read.

Facebook has hired former Clinton White House press secretary Joe Lockhart to become vice president of corporate communications.
Facebook's Vice President of Global Communications, Marketing and Public Policy Elliot Schrage confirmed the hire in a prepared statment:
Joe's arrival brings new skills and greater depth to our incredibly busy team. His experience building and running a press office at the White House gives him particular appreciation for the demands of a global 24-hour news cycle and the challenges of responding effectively to intense scrutiny. His experience launching and scaling a communications firm will help us as we seek to build our team and continue to offer great opportunities for growth and professional development.
He will manage Facebook's corporate, policy and international communications teams, according to another spokesperson for the company.
Lockhart joins the company on July 15. He will initially work out of the company's Washington D.C. office but will ultimately move to the California headquarters as soon as family commitments allow.
This seems like quite the coup for Facebook and Lockhart alike. Earlier this year, the social network held recruitment conversations with President Barack Obama's former press secretary, Robert Gibbs, and decided he wasn't a match for the job.
Readers, what do you think about this particular hire?
