The Westin Copley Place, Boston
10 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA
0.1 km from
Didn't like how the website advertises a pool and spa but they have neither.
No pool due to renovations...not mentioned when reservations were made...not explained when checked in...
You can get to Copley Place and the Pru without going outside so weather is not an issue. Lots of restaurants nearby including Eataly. Symphony Hall is walkable. You can also walk down Newbury Street to the Public Garden. Hotel is small enough that you're not overwhelmed by people everywhere like the Marriott nearby. Parking is expensive! No coffee/tea in lobby - just in room.
What you would expect from a Westin. Clean, fairly modern rooms, big TV, complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea. It's connect by skywalks to other malls so you can get to many places without even hitting the street. Had little interaction with the staff but they were all courteous and efficient.
Location Staff was inattentive and seemed bored. I arranged for a crib for my room for my son and upon arrival, it was not in the room which was hugely inconvenient. I had to call to have it brought up. Also, wifi should be free in this hotel.
Couldn't ask for a better location. No free wifi. Only basic tv channels.
The Westin is located in the heart of Boston with easy access to public transportation, restaurants and shopping. Great location for business travelers. Customer service was also great. Definitely worth checking out for your next business trip!
Location, very comfortable bed Bathroom too small, water with very low pressure
An excellent Boston experience all around
Arrived in Boston just in time for a heavy snowfall accompanied with a vicious wind. Being from snowy Colorado I was well aware of fast changing weather conditions. The Westin staff were also aware and took on the opportunity to show off their talent. These people know how to take care of customers with their great service, personalities and that always lovely humor. I'll be back!
The service was great. The staff caters to your every need. The room was very comfortable and provided a nice view of the city.
The shower kept running hot and cold and I could not set a temperature that was relatively consistent
I recommend valet parking. Location is excellent for shopping too and staff are great. Bathroom was not cleaned properly may be the product they used and did not finish wiping down because toilet cover and seat was sticky.
The amenities, the restaurants, the staff, the rooms were all very nice. I was very upset with the fact that my room had no internet access other than paying $13 to $17 a day. I am sure when I made my reservation through Kayak that in the description of the room it read that internet access was included. I called the concierge desk but they were of no help to me. As nice as my stay was, I would not stay at this hotel again nor would I recommend it. The elevators were a mess during my stay too. Everyone staying there was upset and complaining about the incredibly long wait times.
It was in walking distance to restaurants, shopping and many historical sites. I had an amazing view of the harbor and the room was very comfortable and clean Although the food was good the menu needs more variety
Lovely hotel. Elevator system very efficient. Rooms very spacious. Noisy neighbors. Called front desk and they didn't seem to do anything.
It is in the Copley Plaza and as such closed to every thing and like other hotels in Boston, too expensive for what one gets in return, but this one was less expensive. Though Internet was available, only at exorbitant price; amenities in the room, none; one plain bottle of water was $7.50, though we had a nice view to the street, still the room was not cozy, rather detached , impersonal and with white all around gives the sensation one is in a hospital and it is sickening. no night reading lights. In the middle of night to much lights moving to the room frm out side.. It is clear one is not at home!
the room was very clean,great view of the city and the bed was fantatic.will stay again
Located in large shopping mall in center of town. Very clean and relatively comfortable. Water bottle in room cost $7.50. Elevators very slow on occasion. Very old TV system with limited HD channel selection.
Elevators are a disaster, unless you love waiting. No free wifi in the rooms (what year is this????). No fridge in rooms (what year is this???)
I think the hotel feels too old.
The location was great. For $640/night there were zero amenities. Such as, the room came with 2 keurig pods, if you needed more (for your 4 night stay) they would happily provide them for you for $1 per kcup. Wifi was extra. Oh, there was a continental breakfast on the 28th floor however, for my $640/night that was not included in my stay. Not sure how you upgraded to coffee and a donut.
the view was the best. Have to get private parking, costed same as my stay at the hotel. waited for 1 hour and made 5 calls to get brushes.
good hotel, good location, great!
Very close to 2 T lines,within 5 mins walk (green-Arlington and orange-Back Bay). Also lots of shops and restaurants are only a couple of minutes walk away as well.Hotel is really nice and value for money.It is very clean,and the rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Loved the bathroom. the toiletries (Aveda is great!), the warm towel racks, and the robes. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and quiet. Our room was TINY! Not much larger than our king size bed. That was disappointing. I also wish there was a coffee maker in the room.
location and public rooms were good no coffee or tea available in the room
Very comfortable bed and perfectly situated Unrequested early morning wake up call on check out date
The hotel was in a great location, with a fantastic bar/restaurant and the bed was incredible!
Queen size bed. Location good.
Excellent and enjoyable stay at the hotel. The hotel staff were very professional and helpful. The facilities were ideal. Cuffs bar is great fun. Good location not noisy, shops and sights not far to walk. N/A
the entire experience was fantastic. The Concierge, Heather, was outstanding.
Very nice overall. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, without being overbearing. Nice breakfast and at a great price.
The room was a good size and the facilities very good with very good service to support
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The room was on the small side, but beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Quiet.
Friendliness of all staff Last time I stayed it cost 75$ a night. I know it was 30 years ago.... I miss Diamond Jims
Great staff, too much perfume at the lobby, the bed is too soft, great locations and great sleep because you can't hear the traffic outside, good restaurant.
Fabulous customer service. The luxury of a boutique hotel, the comforts of home.
the parking attendants were very courteous . reception staff were very courteous too.
Central location in Boston with excellent service. Staff is always there to cater to your needs. Spacious and comfortable rooms, beautiful boutique hotel. Great restaurant too.
I liked the location and the fact that I was granted a late check-out on the day of departure The constant attention of all the staff located in the lobby. would have liked to walk through there once without having to tell them all how I was doing.
The Lennox has a very beautiful entrance, very good service, located near shopping ( Prudential) and restaurants.
Great location, good hotel. They should have a kettle in the room.
Location Rooms are a little dated
A very nice stay, excellent location (near to the T stores and restaurants, walk distance to the main attractions). Staff very polite and helpful. I definitely recommend the hotel.
location value for money
Great location with warm and welcoming staff. Hold level was excellent.
Loved the chandeliers, mirrors, marble, location, service No shop in hotel for sodas, snacks, ice cream
Stunning hotel, very friendly and accommodating staff, perfect location for all of Boston Construction on church across from my room, started early, relentless but hotel had no control over it
staff were very friendly and it was in the best location of Boston. Overall it was an excellent choice - value for the money I paid. At my surprise, opon checking out they charged the normal rate, which was twice more expensive than the Booking.com price. Then I had to show the Booking.com e-mail to bring the price back to the one at which the booking was made. It was a cumbersome process. The hotel staff told me that this kind of problem often took place with the Booking .com.
Staff attentive. Nice decor. Great location. A little pricey. Not way high. Just a little.
The hotel was very clean and very roomy. It also was close to the T Things I didn't like were.. Couldn't get the room to feel completely warm.set thermostat to 78 it barely hit 70. Parked in the parking garage a block away for $22 for the weekend compared to the hotel wanting to charge me $51 to park per day kind of a no brainier. Who's there was a pool or hot tub to relax in during our stay.
The food, room service staff, the bed, the ambiance. The arrogance of hotelstaff, the way they snubb/address eachother when they do not want to do a task themselves, are gossiping when idle and the lack of interest in guests.
Deluxe room - lots of space, good desk/lighting/reading chair, excellent bed, large marble bath and amenities. OAK is a great bar and restaurant with excellent food and lively vibe. Room service was prompt, friendly and delicious. And the hotel has a sweet black Lab to welcome guests. Noise from hall seeps in through the old wood doors; not really a problem until a couple drunk bros came in at 4AM and spent 20 minutes in the hall being enthusiastic.
The interior of the hotel. That was about it. The room was not only small but watching tv was only possible sitting on the edge of the bed on the side. Miserable view. Were prepared to pay more for another room. Briefly - no hotel fully bo No value for a lot of money. Breakfast in the Oakroom was one morning being served by a friendly and polite waiter but the next day it was a very arrogant service as if we had to be thankful to be served.
Great location for shopping. Gold floor staff were very attentive. Worth the upgrade, especially as the Oak bar was so crowded on Saturday night. The Gold lounge was a pleasant oasis.
Location is centrally located The room was small and not noise proof
Easy check in, clean room and great location. Staff was friendly, professional and eager to help. I had an issue with the town car service they provided (no fault of their own) and they resolved it promptly with apologies. recommend without reservation.
The hotel staff was so courteous and friendly! We were traveling for our anniversary and they were so nice to upgrade our room AND allow us early check-in after we arrived from an early morning flight. I liked the proximity to Boylston and Newberry St. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Boston. If the hotel was located a little closer to the freedom trail, it would have been perfect for our trip! We didn't mind walking, but did notice it wasn't as central as we thought.
Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Short walking distance to attractions. Check out was not until 12pm, maid knocked on door the door four times from 8am till 11:36am. Felt like was being rushed out.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean. Andrew and the valet boys were wonderful. Very professional. You could barely turn around in the, less than spacious, bathroom.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location, No restaurant, Two nights I could hear the tenant above me as it sounded like he was bouncing a bowling ball. Only lasted a few minutes each night but not desirable at 11 pm
Comfortable beds. Nicey decorated room. Pleasant staff. Party crowd in the hallways from 3:30 until 4:30 am even after I asked them to quiet down. Valet parking is $ 50 while a public parking lot is accross the street. Breakfast not included.
This was a great hotel for the price, right in the heart of Boston. The room was nice and clean, and the free wifi was a bonus. I arrived late and needed to get dinner, but the restaurant was closed. The staff recommended Star Market, the 24 hour grocery store (LOL), but walking a couple blocks I found a nearby bar that was still serving food.
Comfortable room and helpful staff. House keeping staff entered the room without knocking and need to be more aware of guests who are in their rooms.
Nothing, really. The front desk concierge was not at all helpful. He was aloof, abrupt and dismissive. We mistakenly booked a room with one bed instead of two and when we had a rollaway bed delivered it came with only one thin blanket. We had to ask twice for more blankets. We were put in a handicap room which was dark, dismal and clearly not used frequently. There were no electrical outlets to charge our phones (we unplugged a light fixture.) There were no glasses in the bathroom. We were treated to the droning music from the downstairs dance club until 2 AM. There was nothing redeeming about our stay except good pancakes in the morning.
The convenience of the location next to Prudential with some of the best local fine dining, and the hospitality of the staff deserve special recognition. The overall ambience is excellent; I highly recommend this place.
The style of the hotel, convenient location and valet parking were nice. They were accommodating with our bags since arriving early. There was nothing spectacular about this hotel. They made us wait until after 3 pm to check in. I gave the woman at the front desk our phone number while we walked around the city so she could let us know when our room was ready. We walked back to the hotel, it was after 3 and still couldn't check in so we waited in the lobby for about another 30 mins. We finally approached the front desk again and it appeared they had forgot to tell us it was ready. The rooms were nice and location convienent but that's about it. It worked well for one night but I wouldn't stay there for an extended period of time.
a lot that we have to pay for internet, and the nozy room next to us.
good location, helpful and friendly staff.
Shower water was brown
The toilet in the room did not work. We complained at night to the housekeeper and they neve came back. In the morning we complained and they sent someone to fix it and it worked once. When we asked if there was a room close by for us to use the bathroom we were told there was none. When we asked that they unlock the restroom in the hallway we were told it would be done immediately it wasn't
The Hotel was great and very close to everything we were interested in.We will stay here again.
The location and Jo's Brasserie
The room was large light with large windows and great views The staff were disinterested in accommodating you. Complained several times. They would prefer to avoid than handle your complaints
I have stayed at this hotel numerous times and have been pleased every time. It is clean, quiet, comfortable, and located perfectly.
Friendly good facilities. Service in the restaurant slow but food good.
Great service, great facilities and staff too
Location, very central, could walk to most places. Good size bedrooms with large comfortable beds. Helpful friendly staff
Very good location for a visit to Boston both as a tourist and if you want to shop, the huge Prudential shopping centre is very close. Very minor issue. Breakfast was confusing on the first visit if like me you did not read the voucher properly.
Free Internet, the opportunity to have a bar fridge (would be better if it was stocked) the various pillows on offer and the amneties in the bathroom. No porter service or ramp into the hotel for heavy suitcases.
The access to the entire city via foot or mass transit was excellent. Tiny rooms
curtains need to be changed. also the tv.
We really liked the location of the hotel. It was close to all of the shopping and restaurants. We never had to take a taxi or drive our car until we were leaving. I thought the room we had was small although it was very clean.
The staff was very accommodating, taking our luggage early so we could check out the city.
The location, the price, the ease of checking in and out. Nothing
well-decorated comfortable room, new bath, simply furnished but more than adequate for the price. Food service was limited, had to look around for breakfast options and restaurants for evening meals in the area were pricey. Perhaps more familiarity with the neighborhood would have helped. A good all-day (7am to 10 pm) coffee shop in the hotel would be a good addition to the food service now available in the hotel, and to the neighborhood.
The location: in the center of the city, The style of the room.
Nice design great location lovely renovation friendly atmosphere gentle staff Acoustics! Could hear neighbors arguing into the wee hours also - light from hall shining around and under the door (related problems?)
The value- location, price, accomodations.
advantageous location, particularly access to T
Staff were excellent, helpful and courteous. Well appointed rooms and facilities. Excellent value, above our expectations. No problems at all.
Location of hotel-provision of breakfast. Good bar. Room was a bit on the small size.
Location. Nice bar. Internet in lobby. The bed was too small!!! Definitely not big enough for 2 normal sized people! Also, there was a smoke detector above the bed that blinked green lights all night. The view from our room was a brick wall which was a little disappointing but not the worst thing in the world...
The hotel is central so easy to walk around Boston. The staff were helpful in the main and the room was spacious and clean. We didn't like the breakfast which was very poor and we didn't like the fact that we were not helped in making urgent phone calls - despite several requests as we were struggling with a completely new system and completely exhausted after a long flight.
Friendly staff. Room had everything you needed. Room as tiny, but functioned fine for a solo traveler.
Friendly, helpful staff, free internet and printing facilities
The rooms were comfortable, well-decorated, well-sized (especially given the location), and had a great sound system (that was a pleasant surprise!). The location is excellent. The parking garage (the only parking option) was quite far away and when the weather was cold and windy, it was quite a pain to get to the car.
location was good. easy access to places. quick breakfast was also fine. bagel was soft (I liked that) ... I wish I could have experienced bar which I did not ... I wish you had a coffee maker in the room.. It was very dry and I was dehydrated every morning... Also, (this is very personal but...) I had cup noodles which I could not make or eat becauase of no coffee makers( no hot waters...) I looked downstairs once and there were no coffee or hot water available...24hours?!? not sure if it was..
great location and very helpful staff.
Hotel located close to Railway Station and Airport. Good central location for site seeing and shopping and restaurants
The room was excellent with lots of storage space. The continental breakfast was very good too.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made us feel very welcomed and had great suggestions for places to eat in the area. The location was perfect to be able to walk to get food, go shopping, and catch the trolley to do some sightseeing.
Peter Dangelo was great and extremely helpful. Kudos!
It was very clean and convenient, with a very friendly staff. It was a very traditional atmosphere with a good complimentary breakfast. Unfortunately, I lost an expensive alarm clock on Saturday evening between 7 pm and 10 pm. I was in 204 and I have no idea how it could have disappeared from the room.
I love a good bed and breakfast. While the buffet style breakfast is simple, it is all you can eat and delicious: French toast, mixed fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage, croisants, orange juice, tea, coffee... mm mm good.
Perfect position and really nice room
croissants/view from room/location
Clean, new, and close to Back Bay activities. My colleagues stated at the Mandarin a block away but I booked late for a small percentage of the price. Breakfast starts at 7:30.
Very comfortable, clean room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Location was outstanding.
Excellent location on full of shops street, near wonderful Commonweath street, Prudential center and Trinity Church, nice wide and convinient rooms I suppose, a bit thin walls - audibility in the rooms is higher than normal
Location Parking
the location was not well signposted
Feel like I found a gem! Great location, very comfortable, good value. We loved having lunch at the Roost the day we arrived and dinner a couple of nights was excellent. And the Patisserie!!
Overall cleanliness, good value for your money.
Great location. Staff at the front desk, especially Jason and Laura, were friendly and helpful. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable. The front lobby and elevator smelled awful. We were satisfied enough but will definitely stay somewhere else next time.
Location The bathroom was small but had bugs. Also the caulking in the shower was black mold.
For me everything was perfect. I was in a high floor which I think was why it was so quiet. I was right across from ice maker which is a super bonus for me! The staff helped with restaurant advice & direction. They were so nice to hold my luggage after I had to check out. Flying is stressful for me so ease with that really helps me Local restaraunt advice & friendliness of staff. They're a very green hotel too! They're so close to so many options. They were perfect for the conference I had to go to. Within walking distance of conference & near really stellar restaurants. All walking distance!!!
It was air conditioned and well located The room smelled bad and the bathtub drain area was corroded and black. No wifi in the rooms.
Business center with internet connection and printer Internet connection not available in every room, but only in common areas/business center
We liked that it was close to the T stations. It was very quite there. I liked the location. The ad said that they had a complimentary breakfast, but there wasn't one. The beds weren't that comfortable.
Did not like anything about hotel. Infested with roaches.
It was well located and relatively inexpensive and the bed was comfortable. However, it was very worn and the corners in the bathroom were dirty. The tub was disgusting. The carpet was torn and dirty. Although cheaper than other hotels, it was not cheap -- $262 for one night. I would not stay there again.
Good location - within a few minutes walking distance to Back Bay Station. My expectations were low to begin with, but this hotel was awful. The staff was incredibly rude, and not helpful with check in or validating parking. The hotel had low occupancy and still they put LOUD guests in the rooms on either side of me (just poor room planning) and they were shouting obscenities in the hall until 1am. Calls to the front desk went unanswered. The room was very small with a poor quality bathroom; my college dorm was nicer than this room as a whole. The hallways smelled of smoke even though this is supposedly a smoke-free facility. I work in hotels, and like I said, my expectations were low for the price, but this wasn't even average quality. I would never stay here again.
This was probably nice in the 80's. Now it needs a renovation.
Hotel itself was nothing special but the price and location was perfect for spending the weekend in the city.
Overall great stay. Friendly and accommodating staff. Location was amazing. Just a few steps away from back bay train station which was perfect as this is where the train picks you up to go to Gillette stadium (if interested in or going to watch a New England Patriots football game). Close by are a couple of great breakfast spots. Look at pictures before you book so you won't be in shock and know exactly what you're getting which is a clean room for a great price for that location. The only thing I noticed was a little dust in the corner of the washroom door.
The price is fantastic, especially considering the location, which can't be beat. The accommodations were adequate. Since the building was old, the wifi didn't reach the rooms reliably. Wifi was available in the lobby, and there was a business center with two computers, printers, and a copier. Unfortunately, the printer for computers were not set-up. I had to use the FedEx around the corner to print.

text: Mr Drains charges $330 for the first hour and $264 for subsequent hours, and these rates are for non-emergency plumbing. I called the company to fix a blocked toilet and they did not told me their service rates to me until the first hour of work was complete (the cause of the problem had not even been found by this time). They did not have the necessary equipment to finish the job and they said I would be charged $264/hour to go to the local hardware store to purchase the necessary material to finish the job! It would have taken close to an hour to make purchases at the local hardware store so I refused, leaving the toilet pipe unblocked, but broken. In summary, Mr Drains tried to charge me $594 to simply fix a blocked toilet pipe. I negotiated a more reasonable service fee.

Neither moderns had the stuff I needed/wanted and I would have to go 3rd string compromise to drive one off the lot but I just could not pull the trigger. I knew it was a long shot but I was looking for 335i, Alpine White, M Sport, Sport Auto, Germany Not SA made, Tech, Premium, HK...if there was one on the lot, the only ones I could compromise on would be the Metallic White and Sport Line. As already mentioned, there is very limited stock/availability of 335i so more than likely I have to put in a special order and endure the long wait.
The wait is really not that bad...

A federal judge in Wyoming ruled today, Oct. 17, that the state's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional.
As we reported yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl heard arguments on Oct. 16 to Wyoming's ban on same-sex marriages. Judge Skavdahl initially said that he would issue his ruling by 5:00 p.m., Monday, Oct. 20.
But his ruling came sooner than anticipated.
Skavdahl stayed his ruling until Oct. 23 pending an appeal by state government officials.
According to the Casper Star Tribune, Republican Gov. Matt Mead, who is up for re-election, said in a debate on Thursday, Oct. 16, before Skavdahl released his decision, that the state should not appeal the ruling.

Several politicians and scientists have said that climate change is the most important international problem facing the world today. This course will investigate many of the philosophical issues relevant to this problem. Such issues include: What can economic analysis tell us (and not tell us) about problems with a long time horizon, such as climate change? Is climate change a commons problem? If so, what kind? What would constitute a just allocation of the burdens of climate change? Can our pollution harm future generations when their very existence might depend on our decision to pollute? What are we individually required to do about global and intergenerational problems of this sort?

The Road Into The Credit 800 Club!!
HOW MANY CREDIT CARDS is TOO MANY, THE ROAD TO 800 NIGHTCLUB!
Being in the Credit Business I am frequently asked just how most credit cards are way too most? Exactly how most notes can We have? I query this question whenever replying. Would you typically bring a balance to thirty days month? If so, just how much do you actually are obligated to pay in credit debt today? Understanding how the Fico Scoring Model operates is paramount.
The answer to just getting credit that is good but the majority importantly keeping they. Under is actually a Breakdown of this Fico Scoring Model. Visualizing it will probably help you better understand it. As you can tell, Credit Utilization makes up 30% of your own Fico rating. You won't ever wish to discuss 30% usage on any one cards. If you're holding a $3,000 balance to month month. You'll want to at least need $10,000 in charge cards. To make sure you don't adversely results your credit score. When you don't have a $10,000 bank card than around $3000 balances must be distributed over several cards. Mortgage Loans
This can keep each card under 30% full utilization and keep the credit history healthier. Exceeding 30% utilization on any one bank card. Will start to impact that is negatively harm the credit score rating nearly whenever missing out on payments. Learning this design and constantly applying it is paramount to a score that is good. As it takes to keep your utilization where it needs to be but not more than a number that can impact your debt to income ratio so you should have as many cards. Whenever a lender discusses your own credit report.
They accumulate your entire minimal payments that are monthly assume you certainly will max all of them on. This is accomplished to make sure you're OK to deal with even more obligations. So there's the solution the bottom line is...

There are several strategies in cancer prevention. The major ones include risk management, chemoprevention, and immunoprevention. The risk management is through reduction of exposure to environmental hazardous factors, such as asbestos, tobacco, and alcohol. In order to reduce the risk of, or delay the development or recurrence of cancer, chemoprevention is the use of drugs, vitamins, or other agents; and, immunoprevention is an approach to use vaccines, antibodies, and immune modulators. My research focus is using human cancer models in pre-clinical setting to study the efficacy of drugs and/or vaccines in cancer prevention.

Haddin in frame for White's cup spot
Brad Haddin hits out for New South Wales.
Photo: Craig Golding
Gilchrist's wife Mel is due to give birth to their third child just days before the national squad heads out for the two-month tournament on February 28.
Depending on the date of the birth, the wicketkeeper-batsman could miss Australia's warm-up matches against Zimbabwe on March 6 and England on March 9 according to News Limited newspapers.
Gilchrist already had been allowed to be rested from the three-match Chappell Hadlee series starting this week in New Zealand.
His likely absence has opened the door for NSW gloveman Brad Haddin to be selected in Australia's 15-man squad to be announced tomorrow.
Australian coach John Buchanan earlier today urged selectors to include the clean-hitting Haddin, the leading runscorer in this summer's domestic one-day competition, in the squad for the Caribbean.
As a result, Haddin seemed firmly in the frame to take Cameron White's place in the 15-man squad or, failing that, to remain on stand-by for Andrew Symonds, who appears Caribbean-bound after receiving a positive assessment of his surgically repaired biceps over the weekend. Should the latter scenario have eventuated, Haddin would have beensubstituted into the squad for Symonds if his injury fails to improve.
The selectors will decide the team today and announce the squad this afternoon. The squad is largely predictable, save for the contest between Stuart Clark and Shaun Tait for the final fast-bowling berth, and the fates of White and Haddin.
Buchanan's push for the NSW wicketkeeper is understandable. The leading batsman in domestic one-day cricket this summer, Haddin also brings one-day international experience and an impressive wicketkeeping record to a team. White, on the other hand, was used sparingly as a bowler in the one-day series, then benched for the finals in favour of left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg.
"We've been exceptionally fortunate with Adam in his career that he hasn't sustained any major injury, touch wood," Buchanan said yesterday. "But it's such an important tournament that my leaning is to take a second specialist wicketkeeper, but that second specialist wicketkeeper has to offer us more than just wicketkeeping. It has to be able to offer us batting potential and probably top-seven material. That's my personal leaning and I've expressed that to the selectors."
Clark, meanwhile, is favoured to oust Tait for the final paceman's slot, having performed solidly throughout the Test and one-day series. As of yesterday, Clark had received no guarantees of a World Cup squad call-up, although his recent 10-wicket haul against Western Australia, which included a hat-trick, has clearly promoted his cause.
"I guess I'm like everyone else," Clark said. "I'll find out tomorrow."
Tait, however, appears to be the public's preferred choice. The South Australian paceman polled 66.5 per cent of the 15,000 votes on the baggy green website, which asked readers to choose between Tait and Clark for the World Cup squad. Tait's state captain, Darren Lehmann, concurred. "I just think the team might need a dynamic player," Lehmann said. "And Shaun Tait delivers that."
Shane Watson appears certain to make the 15-man squad, despite an indifferent return to international cricket during the finals series. His all-round skills are still considered desirable by national selectors, particularly with doubt surrounding Symonds' likely return date.
Selection in Australia's World Cup touring party would be especially satisfying for Watson, who missed the 2003 tournament with back stress fractures, and again had to fight injuries throughout the current season.
"He bowled exceptionally well at the ICC Champions Trophy and in the lead-up to that, and batted well, so he's on his way back and the quicker we can give him game time, and finals time as that was, the better," Buchanan said, adding that Watson could partner Matthew Hayden at the top of the order for the Chappell-Hadlee series in the absence of Gilchrist.
Australia's possible World Cup squad: R Ponting (c), A Gilchrist (vc), M Hayden, M Clarke, A Symonds, M Hussey, B Hodge, B Haddin, M Johnson, B Lee, N Bracken, G McGrath, B Hogg, S Clark, S Watson
Australia's World Cup pool matches are against Scotland
14), The Netherlands (March 18) and South Africa (March 24).

Jefferies International Swings to a Loss as Staff Costs Bite
The European arm of U.S. investment bank Jefferies Group swung to a £25.4 million ($38.8 million) loss in the year to November 30 2012 – a challenging year in which rising staff costs combined with falling trading revenues.
Jefferies International Limited, the legal entity that houses the U.S. bank's operations in Europe, filed its accounts for the year ended November 30, 2012 at the U.K.'s Companies House last week.
According to the results, the company recorded the £25.4 million net loss, down from a profit of £45.4 million in its previous financial year.

Wise for England: They deserve each other.
Máirtín has let them off the hook, it seems.
I know that, when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. But surely the numb-nuts at Soho Square weren't going to risk hiring a Ulster taig who used to manage Celtic as their next manager?
I don't know how patriotic Villa fans felt about this one, but personally, I trace my lefty pro-EU disdain for Englishness to the English FA's ability to lure Brian (pbuh) away from Forest in the late-70s. My chauvinistic Irish family had nothing to do with it.
I resented their power to do so. When they didn't exercise that power, I saw the entire English establishment for what it is: A shower of morons.
Whoever gets this poison chalice will just become their latest scapegoat. Denis Wise is having a good season, isn't he? Could it happen to a nicer bloke?

In another sketch, the 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' star pitches himself as a sixth member of the British/Irish boyband.
Paul Rudd and One Direction team up to promote the upcoming edition of "Saturday Night Live" by appearing in a new promo. The actor opens it by claiming that he used to be in the popular boyband, but was "unceremoniously asked" to leave.
In the next skit, Rudd shows off his vocal range in an attempt to convince the boys to let him join the group. He later confidently says that people may think he's part of the group due to his looks but Niall Horan frankly tells him, "Really?! Eventhough you're a lot older than us?"
In a previously released promo video, Rudd goes fangirl as he learns that One Direction is in the same building with him. "Wait. The band? The band with the hot British guys? Niall, Harry, Louis, Zayn and Liam?" he asks "SNL" regular Vanessa Bayer, before screaming into a pillow and yelling, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god..."
Rudd is going to host the variety show for the third time on Saturday, December 7 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC. One Direction serves as the musical guest.

Back by popular demand, Magic Wands. These are just full of mischief and a whole bunch of trickery. Why just yesterday, and I know it was this magic wand, there was a kangaroo in my living room and you can only imagine me chasing that around the house while it was hopping about. Not to mention how it riled up my cats. Well, it was as chaotic as the cat in the hat at Christmas but without the presents. I needed a second magic wand just to tame down the first one. Whew! Anyway, like I was saying, these wands are special. They've been created out of playful stained glass in vibrant colors and I jiggled the copper wire in such a way that it just twisted and twirled around in that spiral thingy that's on there. Plus all those polka dots on there keep jumping around. Now, it didn't get it's magic until I buffed it up to a shine and that brought out the mischief. Anyway, if you need a little magic or amusement in your house, then you won't want to be without one of these wands. And I guess I'll have to take credit for all this commotion, so I even signed it and dated it. If you're wondering, the magic is created in the 4.5 inch area of the star and it's approximately 15 inches tall when it stands up straight. If you want to know more than that, you'll have to send me a message and I'll float your answer back to you on a flying carpet.

Bias -- Subtle and Not-So-Subtle
These executives discuss the sort of bias, subtle and overt, that they have experienced as older CEOs, why they continue to play the game, how they remain vigorous and when they think they might finally retire.
What drives you to stay in the game?
Braun: My wife complains about how I can't sit still. There are guys who are wired to work, who can't not work. I'm one of them. Not everyone is wired that way. I have plenty of friends younger than me who have retired.
Courtot: I look at my father. He was a lawyer who went into business. He died in his 80s but worked until his very last day. I would visit him in France every six months, and I could see that he got even more intelligent as he got older.
How much do you work?
Braun: I work 70 hours a week, start in the office at 7 a.m. I get home, I eat and then I'm on e-mail until 10 p.m. I've always worked those kinds of hours. Being a recruiter was the only time I didn't. I worked 30-40 hours. It felt like a vacation.
Massaro: I've slowed down a lot. I used to work 70 hours a week when I was younger. Now, I don't put in more than 50 hours. I also like to take a 20-minute nap every afternoon.
Noerr: If you have to ask, I probably work 60-70 hours a week. But I'm not a clock-watcher.
Massaro: Work is only work if you'd rather do something else, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
How did you come to your current gig?
Noerr: MuseGlobal is my fifth start-up since the late 1970s. It's just my thing. I like to build companies. My two main skills are having a vision of where the market is going and having a good sense of timing. Both have gotten sharper over time. Hey, there need to be some perks with age other than free bus passes.
Braun: When I started my career selling IBM mainframes to banks in New York City in 1972, you just expected to retire at age 60, since that was IBM's mandatory retirement age for senior executives. I actually retired in 2000 [at age 51]. But I flunked it. So I started my own recruiting firm and ran that for six years.
Then Intacct hired me to find a new CEO. I joked with them, "If I can't find you a great guy, I'll do the job myself and save you the fee." In the end, I did pull a Dick Cheney and find myself [for the role].
Massaro: I retired for six months in 2004. I hung around the house and built a lot of stuff. I ripped my two garages down to the studs and rebuilt them from scratch. There was sawdust over the entire house. When that was over, my wife pleaded with me, "Please go and find some work."
Courtot: I started off simply as an investor in Qualys. It was part of the 1999 generation of SaaS firms: Salesforce.com, NetSuite and SuccessFactors were the others. But when it came time in 2001 to make a second bigger round of investment, the VCs had disappeared. I was in South America at the time, trekking, scuba diving, getting caught in a hurricane. I cut my sabbatical short, invested $25 million of my own money and took over as CEO.
But aren't you financially set?
Massaro: I could've retired when I was 33 and Shugart [Associates, an early leading disk drive maker] was sold to Xerox. I'm not a workaholic, but if I take a one-week vacation, that's a long one for me. Retirement is going to be a coffin.
Courtot: I could've retired after selling cc:Mail [at age 47]. I was financially set. I felt accomplished both from a recognition and a financial standpoint. I could've decided to take it easy, gone and become a VC. But I wanted to continue.
Noerr: After every company, I think I won't build another. But then I start to think, "You know, this sounds fun." It's not a disease -- but it is a bit of an addiction.
Braun: I'm plenty comfortable. My kids will be plenty comfortable. But I'm not Silicon Valley landed gentry. Steve Jobs and Sergey Brin all live in my neighborhood [in Palo Alto], but in much nicer houses.
Is it ever wearying to get back on the start-up treadmill?
Courtot: No, because I know deep down what Qualys is doing is the future. We have 4,000 customers and had $40 million in recurring revenue last year. Honestly, it's taken longer than anticipated -- I thought we'd be at this stage two years ago. But the fundamental thing is: Are we providing something of value to customers? That's the path. The rest is irrelevant.
Noerr: I'm driven by wanting to make a name for my company. It doesn't bother me if I go to a party and no one's heard of us. I look at it as an opportunity to be an evangelist.
Massaro: I've done several turnarounds, mostly as favors for VCs. They're never very satisfying. I restore cars as a hobby. The statement that it's harder to unbuild something than to build it -- it's true with a car, it's true with a company. So my preference is always to do a start-up.

Hearing is believing: Koss on "Mad Men"
"Mad Men" has been known to stay true to its historical time period. The drama, set in the advertising agency world in the 1960s. The producers, directors and writers do a great job of staying true to the times, and using examples of advertising and products we would remember.
When Koss headphones were featured in Sunday's premiere episode of the show's final season, it was a surprise to viewers from Wisconsin. It was also a surprise to the company.
"We found out just like everyone else did," Michael Koss said. "It was an honor to be included."
In a day and age where many firms pay top dollar to get their products placed in the top shows on the air, the Milwaukee-based Koss was a part of the main storyline without having to pay for placement. The only warning company executives received was mention from critics that were sent advanced screening copies of the show.
Koss mentioned that "Mad Men" did a great job covering the period when his dad was out just trying to get people to listen to music through headphones.
"That was the time where there was so much music that could be heard. It was when 'Sgt. Pepper' (a landmark album from the Beatles) came out. It's so layered, you had to listen through headphones to hear it all," Koss said.
Being a former radio host, I understand all too well the difference of listening through ear phones instead of the studio speakers. With earphones you can hear the different instruments play off of each other, you can catch the nuance in a person's voice. Emotion spews forth when we take the time to listen.
"The show pays attention to understanding the period," Koss said.
Flash forward to now, and Koss is taking advantage of inclusion in the fan-favorite show through its social media and web pages. It is giving away headphones and artwork as part of its Legacy Sweepstakes on Facebook. Up for grabs is an original poster signed by John C. Koss, the inventor of the SP/3 Stereophone.
As important as the emerging technology was in the "Mad Men" days, it is just as important today. Koss told me of the company's latest efforts using headphones and access points in the cloud and wireless space. Through a heavy digital presence, Koss has been able to deal directly with consumers on its exclusive patent-protected device as small as an ear bud that can bring music constantly to your ears.
This play on "Mad Men" is another nod to and great exposure for Milwaukee, and a great business that shares our home.
BUSINESS TAXES : FOX Business Network is airing a day-long special today called "The Business of Taxes." This special will examine the most challenging tax returns for high net worth individuals and small business owners. Anchors and reporters will provide viewers with tips on how to maximize their tax refund through 7 p.m. this evening.
ACM AWARDS RATINGS: The American Academy of Country Music awards was a ratings success for CBS. The network reported that more than 15 million people tuned in to Sunday's broadcast.
littletinyfish | April 12, 2013 at 11:24 a.m. (report)
I've lived in Milwaukee for 13 years now, and I still don't own a pair of Koss headphones. I think that's going to be a new goal of mine by the end of the year.

There is absolutely no doubt that upon entering the 2012 NFL Season, New York Giants fans had set a high bar: Repeat. There is nothing wrong with that as Head Coach Tom Coughlin wanted to build on the strengths of how 2011 closed and the word continuity has been uttered more than fail has.
The concern at hand when setting sights so high is frustration can arrive faster than a waiver claim for a fantasy sleeper on a Sunday evening. Oh, that and some fans tend to seriously lose any ability to approach a situation with rational thought. Humor isn't even close to being used and absurd and unfounded comments come through lips that usually part to scream pro-team clichés. Week 4's painful loss to another division rival (the Philadelphia Eagles) created some ugly ogres – either that or Mr. Hyde came out early from many.
Dejection after a team defeat is expected when such piety and optimism is placed into a single game – especially against an opponent that elicits so much disdain and depraved recollections. Most die-hards understand that the emotional state that can be drawn out goes further that wanting to kick the family pooch. However, attacking fellow fans (to the points of threatening demise and detriment) and wishing ill towards the team that just hours prior had such professed, undying love? Little more than unreal, it's disturbing behavior for Big Blue fans.
What provokes this hostility within and why so early on, make proclamations (in Week 4) that: "one more loss, then…", "This team is done and so am I!" and "_____ sucks; here we go again…"? Why take it to the extremes?
One theory is the years following factor. A large portion of the fan base for the New York Football Giants have been there for their years of pre-glory and multiple Lombardi trophies. They remember the miserable years of having hope and having it crushed repeatedly (see: annually) while being stuck in a bit of a coaching rut. The Bill Parcells era ushered in a new gaggle of followers, but they also bought into the no-nonsense ways that the Tuna adhered to (and while continuing to be a cautiously optimistic mob. 1986 finally paid off for the true Big Blue Faithful that remained by their franchise's side. Ensuing years were much of the same until 1990 when odds were beat to win another World Championship, but the years after that second Lombardi were all over the place. Recollections include: Parcells' infamous "retirement," Ray Handley/Dan Reeves, Dave Brown/Danny Kanell, Simms/Taylor retirements, a 2000 Super Bowl appearance that culminated in an infuriating loss and playoff appearances that seemed to always fall short.
Enter the "new" fans that cannot appreciate the misery that old school fans have stomached for decades. Their "time" came swiftly compared to their predecessors'. They are of a cloth that wants, umm, demands instant gratification and will accept nothing less than what, in their mind, is perfect. If it's not, they threaten to walk away, which is typical behavior instead of "hanging tough" and following through with the team (definition of fan – look it up; we need different vernacular for these types). What many of the old-school-ers see is spoiled ignorance – ignorance that doesn't know much of what transpired prior to their entry into blue fandom. Sure, names like Lawrence Taylor and Phil Simms roll off the tongue with ease, but anything more – like actual New York Giants history – is lacking horribly, along with how to act as a Giants fan.
Week 5 will soon be in the record books, but the outcome is still to be played out – on the field at MetLife Stadium at 1:00, EST. Win or lose, could the Big Blue brotherhood hold it down enough to not act like a Philadelphia Eagles fan?

A movie is schedule for release just before Christmas. It features scenes with dolphins and one animal group says they are fighting mad about it.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) says the upcoming feature film "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" has scenes they want censored before its release next month. Delcianna Winders, the PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement, says the group wants to protest the efforts of "theme park bosses" who abuse and simply just take animals for granted.They say the movie's producers should act in good faith toward that end.
"The constant deprivation that marine mammals face at SeaWorld is suited to a horror film, not a comedy," according to a report."PETA is calling on the creators of Anchorman to...leave all SeaWorld scenes on the cutting room floor where they belong."
The movie company Pixar, changed the end of one of their upcoming family animation movies entitled "Finding Dory," the sequel to "Finding Nemo," after reportedly viewing a documentary entitled "Blackfish." The documentary reportedly details cruel treatment of marine animals held captive in small tanks.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a comedy movie staring Will Ferrell. Produced by Judd Apatow, it features the misadventures of a 1970s-era, egomaniacal television anchorman named, of course, Ron Burgundy -- a character that is said to mirror a real-life news anchorman named, Ron Hunter, a former WWL-Channel 4 anchorman who reports say died in Las Vegas.
The Anchorman sequel features what happens to Ferrell's character, Burgundy, years later at the beginning of the 1980s cable television "boom," as a washed up San Diego, SeaWorld announcer. Directed by Adam McKay, famous for movies such as "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," the second Anchorman movie also features a shark scene shot on St. Simons Island, Georgia.

text: Hi all, I have been using TOSSIM 2.x for some months and tracking the evolution of it's components. I have a couple of doubts: - I know there is a PowerTossim version in the contrib directory. How stable is it? Does it support micaz motes or only mica2? What about CC2420 radio stack? - Related to the radio stack, is the CC2420 stack useful in TOSSIM 2.x? Basically, I would like to access RSSI or LQI fields of received packets. As far as I know, I should access the CC2420 interface to get received packet's RSSI/LQI readings. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance, Iñigo

Taiwan-based Higgstec has developed a single-layer projected capacitive touch (S-PCT) solution which offers proximity sensing and better transmittance than other types of touch panels, according to the company.
The multi-touch S-PCT claims a transmittance of 97.4%, compared to 90% for other capacitive panels, and 73-90% for the resistive type, says Higgstec.
S-PCT is highly noise resistance, and with supporting ICs it features proximity sensing, or 3D touch �V meaning a touch can be realized without physical contact, according to the company.
Higgstec said its S-PCT panels target the market for digital cameras, digital photo frames and handsets.

Notice that instead of saying he'd be moving from Massachusetts, he says he'd be moving from California...
"You know my wife – I wish she were here today. ... She has said someday, who knows, we might move to Florida. You never know. Someday, way down the road."
"We had the chance during the primaries to be able to go all over the country and see a lot of places, and she said 'You know what? If we are going to move, one place I love [is] Jacksonville, Florida,'" Romney told the crowd, which cheered. "She knows a good thing when she sees it."
Later, on his charter flight from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach, a reporter asked Romney what he and his wife found most appealing about Jacksonville. "We love California," he replied. "But there are attractions to Florida. It has the right tax rates, among others."
Mitt Romney says he might move to Florida after the election

hey guys,
so ive been working with metasploit on normal internal networks at home. Everything works great there. Now ive wanted to go to the next level and see how everything works on a domain. So ive set up a small server at home and a domain to log into. I have a client log onto the server. I connect to this client using meterpreter. etc etc. So till now everything was jolly. Now when i try to take over the root account or system of the computer that ive exploited i cant migrate to the system. I think it has something to do with the fact the im logged onto the server and not the local account. Any idea on how to compromise the local account? Or even better the server that the computer is logged into?
I kno its a lot to read through, but i appreciate the help..

THE term sexting is no longer a neologism but a fully fledged word, with its own listing in the latest edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary. But it is still a relatively new word, whose definition - ''the sending of sexually explicit photographs or messages'' [via mobile phone] - still requires explanation.
For all its brief history, sexting has already earned a place in Victoria's legal history by being the subject of two inquiries: as the main focus of a forthcoming parliamentary inquiry commissioned last September by state Attorney-General Robert Clark, which is due to report by the end of the year; and as a component of a wider review into the registration of sex offenders by the Victorian Law Reform Commission, also commissioned by Mr Clark, in April of last year.
This week, the VLRC's report was tabled in State Parliament. Its 79 recommendations have one common thread: to make the registration of sex offenders more streamlined and more effective in protecting children from sexual abuse. As the commission points out, over the seven years the scheme has been operating more than 4000 people have been placed on the register. At this rate, the commission says, the number is expected to reach 10,000 by 2020, thereby putting even more strain on police and the Department of Human Services.
One of the report's recommendations is that young adults successfully prosecuted for sexting would no longer be automatically placed on the register. As the Law Institute of Victoria points out in its submission to the VLRC inquiry, ''the mandatory nature of the registration scheme has led to unjust outcomes where the legislation has not kept pace with technological and societal changes''. In other words, young offenders whose actions may pose little risk to society face ''onerous obligations'', including automatic registration for up to 15 years or even for life, that can affect their social and employment prospects. Other submissions have also called for statutory inclusion to be replaced with individual assessment.
The legal implications of sexting, although the subject of the other inquiry, cannot help but impinge on the VLRC's findings, especially since they involve relatively low-level offences that cannot be compared with the high-risk sex offenders who rightly and justly deserve to be on the register. Victorian Police Commissioner Ken Lay said as much in his response to the report, adding that police were already struggling to manage the scheme. The government should waste no time in implementing the report's recommendations.

Ethical, legal and social consultancy for RWJF's Project HealthDesign sites
The grant supports the University of Miami Ethics Programs, led by Kenneth W. Goodman, Ph.D., founder of the Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) Working Group at the American Medical Informatics Association, to be the primary ELSI consultants for the Foundation's Project HealthDesign. The primary focus of Project HealthDesign is to develop a diverse array of innovative applications for personal health records. Through the development of these applications, a common platform for a personal health record can be shaped. While Project HealthDesign can advance technology, increase collaboration among researchers and improve the ability to self-regulate health, this emerging field generates many questions about the ethical, legal, and social issues related to personal health records.The Miami Ethics Programs will consult with the eight members of the Project HealthDesign research team on the following issues: (1) protecting the privacy of sensitive, patient-identifiable health information; (2) role of technical standards in contributing to standards of care; (3) alterations in role and autonomy of clinicians; insuring therapeutically efficacious provider-patient relationships while developing patient-centered innovations; (4) appropriate use of personalized behavioral tracking information; and (5) sale of personal health information for research or other purposes.In order to address these and other ELSI issues, the grantee has assembled a team of experts and resources. While the consultation will be one component of their deliverables, the Miami Ethics Programs also intend to develop materials for the broader ELSI community.

Wilmington is the place to be for an easy catch.
I know you've said you like living in the city before, and keeping that in mind, I would stay away from Wake Forest; it isn't Raleigh. Keep in mind that while things might look close on a map, it's a different story when you're living there. I have friends in north Raleigh that I rarely see because they're 20 minutes away. You said you like the traffic in Raleigh; try getting on the belt line around 5pm and get back to me. I seriously don't leave my house between 5 and 6 because traffic sucks. Then again, I'm not used to Atlanta traffic so it's probably all relative.
If you're looking at renting/buying a house and not living closer to downtown, prices inside the belt line (I-440 on the map) are going to be more expensive than outside the belt line. Even a half mile can make a big difference in price. It's ridiculous, but a lot of Raleigh natives live and die by ITB & OTB. All the money is ITB and I've heard that the kids at the rich highschool even mock the ones that live OTB during basketball games; it's retarded. You can PM me or anyone else here for more specifics, but I would say if you're wanting to live
Raleigh, there's a ~5 mile radius where you'll want to look. South of campus is cheap housing for students and a lot of families. East of campus can get ghetto real fast. And too far north and you're surrounded by nothing but neighborhoods.
CARY = Corral Area for Relocated Yankees
Seriously, I hear more northern accents there than anywhere south of NYC. And fvck whoever is responsible for their road design. I swear to god every road just does circles around the city. The cops there blow too because they have nothing to do.
I was on the beltline coming back from Greensboro around 5:30 last time I was there and it really wasn't THAT bad. ATL traffic is like DC/LA/Chicago/NY etc. It chokes the entire city down and is literally the worst feature of this city. If ATL had roads like Texas it wouldn't be such an issue.
I met a TON of people from Jersey in Raleigh last time I was back, I was drawn back lol.
We have the same here in ATL, ITP/OTP (in the perimeter/outside the perimeter) which is the same. I want a nice neighborhood with good schools and nice houses ITB, does such things exist? Typically when you get outside a loop into the burbs you get cheap housing, good schools, nice houses.
