Governor Mark Sanford is hosting a "Higher Education Summit" for leaders in higher education, government and business, as well as for parents and students, on Sept. 28 in Columbia. He has released his "Myths of Higher Education" in which he addresses "misperceptions about higher education, student body composition, and college affordability."
Myth 2: Importing large numbers of out-of-state students improves affordability for in-state South Carolina students.
Governor Sanford asserts a number of "facts" in his projections around this "myth." USC believes that there are errors in the translation or reporting of these numbers. USC presents a counter response to assertions about out-of-state students and the impact they have on South Carolina education.
At the University of South Carolina, the out-of-pocket tuition paid by nonresident students is more than three times the amount paid by in-state students. Nonresident students are not subsidized by the state's taxpayers.
Years ago, USC recognized the value that out-of-state students bring in terms of diversity of backgrounds, opinions, and talents. At that time, our enrollment began to grow as students from other states entered our system. At present, USC students who hail from outside the state represent about 33 percent of our total student population. Indeed, this is a large increase over the years, but it's one that matches national trends.
The State of South Carolina has a large and proud military tradition. Many of our country's finest soldiers and veterans attend USC and are considered in the out-of-state figures. In addition, our state's status as a vacation destination creates affinities among families from outside the state. Many of the students in these families are then drawn to enroll in USC to be near the places where they formed fond memories.
When the University of South Carolina set out to become a "national university," the ability to attract students from across the United States helped us achieve that distinction. Now nationally recognized — for athletics, the arts, business, and science — USC brings distinction to our state and is a driver of economic development. We are proud of our diverse student population and know that many students make great financial sacrifices to earn their degrees here at USC. That diversity of background should be celebrated, not reduced to financial misperceptions.
MYTH #1: If you build it, they will come…
In a press release, the governor called for a moratorium on construction of buildings on public university campuses and linked construction to increasing tuition rates. He said:
"We also continue to believe that postponing new construction projects will best protect students and their tax-paying parents who have shouldered the burden of enormous tuition and fee increases over the last decade."
The University of South Carolina wants you to have the facts, including the fact that USC's state funding has been cut by $105 million, or 47 percent, in just over two years.
The Facts About Capital Investment and Funding
USC, whose largest campus is over 200 years old and has accumulated deferred maintenance well over half a billion dollars, has received NO support from the state for capital projects since the 1999-2000 fiscal year. USC will be bringing about $240 million worth of capital projects forward to the Budget and Control Board by December. The vast majority of construction funds are paid through sources other than tuition and state appropriations, including private gifts, county support, athletics revenue and federal lease funds.
view more facts about Capital Investment and Funding
- Student Health Center – The University will use $9 million in funds on hand and will borrow about $35 million for this project, which, at the request of our students, replaces the current health center with a modern, expanded facility. A fee has been in place for several years that has resulted in the available reserve balance of $10 million. The student fee will be increased incrementally and remain in place to service the $35 million in debt.
- Athletics Improvements – In a major improvement that will support Williams-Brice Stadium for our loyal football fans and accommodate other University needs, USC will use Athletics Revenues to develop the former 50-acre Farmers' Market property. Athletics, like all auxiliary enterprises, is required to be self-sufficient and draws NO support from the State of South Carolina.
- USC Lancaster Campus is constructing a new academic building to accommodate growth in the student population as more South Carolinians pursue higher education. The estimated $8 million in construction costs will be offset by funding from Lancaster County.
- The Darla Moore School of Business, through a generous gift from Darla Moore and a partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, is constructing a new building to house our top-ranked Business School. The $90-million project is financed by $10 million in private giving, $65 million in a loan serviced by funds from the Department of Justice, and $15 million from University funds. The latter is the result of a matching commitment made by USC as a condition for receiving the generous gift from Ms. Moore. That USC has worked to secure alternative funding sources for this important facility should be celebrated, not criticized.
- The remainder of the $240 million in capital outlays is supported by research grant funding, private giving, and funding provided by auxiliaries such as food service.
The Facts About Jobs
Construction is good for our economy and will result in approximately 2,800 jobs. USC averaged $77 million per year in construction and renovations over the past 10 years, for an average 1,540 jobs per year in local construction.
The Facts About Tuition Increases
While it is true that USC Columbia's undergraduate tuition increased by 6.9 percent for this academic year, the increased revenue did not support construction, except where noted above. USC Columbia experienced a $24 million state budget cut this fiscal year, nearly $33 million system-wide, bringing the cumulative system-wide cut since 2008 to $105 million. Of the $15.775 million in revenues resulting from Columbia's 6.9-percent increase, $8 million was dedicated to the academic colleges and departments to protect and support academic programs for our students. The remainder was for additional funds to pay increased utilities costs, enhance the Career Center for our students, improve communications and to support private fundraising efforts and other important institutional needs
Tuition decisions are made carefully each year as part of an extensive system-wide planning process. Faculty and students are involved, and every dollar of funding produced by tuition is reviewed and scrutinized by the administration and the Board of Trustees.

Jeffrey, I'm not sure why the Board's action was a problem for you. Could you explain it for my benefit, and perhaps the benefit of anyone else seeking clarity in this sinuous discussion?

Directly from the Bylaws:

"Section 2. Election. The officers of this corporation shall be elected annually by the Board of Directors, and each shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment.

Section 3. Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment, any officer may be removed, with or without cause, by the Board of Directors or by an officer on whom such power of removal may be conferred by the Board of Directors."

We elected the Board to do our will. I think the last Board member we elected was Ani, yes? One of the actions they take in their job to do our will is to elect the Executive Director. It doesn't make sense to me that if they can remove an officer at any time, you feel they cannot also elect one without first consulting the membership. We, the membership, can then consense on their choice and the process goes forward. If consensus can't be reached after discussion and debate, the Board offers up another candidate.

It's a feature, not a bug.

To quote the "meeting minutes" from the last board meeting:

3. We seem to need to appoint an executive director for 2010. Shannon

and Andy wanted to reappoint Jake as our figurehead, but Ani didn't

agree. We proposed to appoint Mitch, so Andy sent Mitch an email

asking.

I feel this was written with an obvious bias.
As an attendee, my memory of the events were this:

One of the agenda items was to discuss the topic of the ED.
It was stated that the term of the officers are for one year, and
unlike the board members, there is no clause stating that they remain
on until a replacement is selected.

Either you (Shannon) or Andy, I don't recall which, suggested that the
board simply re-appoint the former ED immediately.
As an observer, I objected to appointing an officer without consensus.
 Ani also objected on these grounds. A brief discussion ensued, in
which Miloh agreed that the board shouldn't act without the consensus
of the membership. Andy and Shannon then withdrew the item without an
actual attempted vote.
The topic then continued as described in the notes.

In my opinion, this attempted act stepped well beyond the authority
that is prescribed by our policies. I later heard arguments
attempting to justify the attempt, quoting that the bylaws recognise
the authority of the board to appoint officers -- not the membership.
That obviously did not appease my concerns.

So yes, I am wary of ANY sudden suggestion of new authority for the
board that has not been widely stated before.

Abbey Meads started the game strong as we wanted to end the first quarter in the lead. The current league table stood with both teams on 21 points, so we knew we were going to be in for a fight for the win! After some great support work from Susan Maggs as WA and Christina Barrow as C, Nat Cole, GA and Jennifer Purcell, GS, were able to dominate the attack D to end the first quarter 12 - 5 to Abbey. With no changes for the second quarter, the Abbey team continued to work well on attack with some great defensive interceptions from Coli Cunningham, GD and Nicola Gilhespy, GK to increase the lead and make the half time score 21-16. We were in the great position of having a full squad, with all 11 girls available to play. Unfortunately, the D captain, Purcell, made a few too many changes at once for the third quarter, and so the flow of the team was unsettled as everyone tried to adjust, enabling Ferndale to bring the score back up to within a point. Starting the final quarter 26 - 25 to Abbey, we returned back to the starting line-up but switching in Lyndsey Sutton for Sian Wait on WD. This really turned up the pressure as both teams could smell the win. After a tense 15 minutes of alternately going in the lead and then Ferndale equalising, Abbey managed to squeeze out the extra goal for the closest win of the season yet! Player of the match was Christina Barrow.
Final score: Abbey Meads D 34 - Ferndale B 33 Abbey Meads E vs Pinehurst E We had the first centre against Pinehurst, the first 5 minutes we made a few mistakes but then got into the game and got some great balls into our shoots Emma and Katie who both got many goals and if not, fought for and mostly got the interceptions. Centres were working well and movement down the court was good, if not a bit too fast! At the end of the first quarter we were ahead 13-6. The second quarter worked really well, positioning in the attacking circle to get high balls into the shoots. Danielle, Teresa and Jo marked the Pinehurst attack well on the centres and managed to turn over a few for us to take down to our attacking circle. Katie unfortunately took a nasty fall 3/4's through the second quarter and had to come off, Georgina came on. The last few minutes we made a few mistakes with our passing, but second quarter ended 26-7. Gemma came on as WD and after making an interception in the first minutes unfortunately dislocated her shoulder, due to an ambulance being called we had to leave her to play on another court, this made us all feel quite guilty. After a minute of awkwardness we got back into the game Tammy, Lissa and Jo got some great interceptions, and we carried on shooting well. Pinehurst girls never gave up with their fast passing and energetic movement which we struggled to mark at the end of the game. A great game despite the injuries for our team! The game ended 51-16 and player of the match was awarded to Tammy.

Don't know what's happened, but this soap now reeks. Smells a bit like toilet disinfectant, when previously used to smell nice and minty.

The strength of the Hurricanes halves combination of T.J. Perenara and Beauden Barrett is their individual difference as players, according to Waratahs five-eighth Bernard Foley.
With halfback Brendan McKibbin, Foley will face the Kiwi pairing in Saturday's game between NSW and the Hurricanes at the ''Cake Tin'' in Wellington. He describes the 21-year-old Perenara as a ''niggly little halfback'' who loves making sniping runs - often with good results.
Barrett, also 21, he views as more of a ''conservative'' ball-distributing five-eighth like himself whose running game should not be discounted.
''They work well together because they are probably a little bit different,'' Foley says. ''The energy that Perenara brings … he is such a livewire. If there is anything happening, he is always in the mix.
''He is really good and keeps an uptempo game. He likes to take on the line and get his hands on the ball and he won't die without wondering. He likes to throw his chances to the wind and a lot of the time it pays off for him. He is so energetic.''
The Waratahs have won their past two games but Foley says they are yet to fully produce the style Cheika seeks.
''We have played some really good footy in patches,'' he says. ''But we're still striving to reduce the lapses of concentration … to get that 80-minute performance.
At least they have shown they can win tight games that several weeks ago they might have lost. Against the Force, they created many chances but ruined them with errors and poor last passes. But, as Foley says, ''it is really good to grind out a game where the flow and momentum doesn't really happen for you and still come away with a win''.

The most recent generation has witnessed humanity changing the planet in both positive and negative ways. Barnosky explains that the key challenge for the 21st century is to ensure that the negative changes, now accelerating, do not limit our capacity to make our children's world at least as good as our own.

The hotel and amenities itself were great and so was most of the staff. We really enjoyed the pool, Antigua restaurant, views, driving range, fitness center and proximity to the airport. Though the majority of the staff were great, there were three incidents during our 5 night stay that really disappointed us. Two were in the executive lounge. I won't bore you with the gentleman who lied to us on Friday evening about the actual prices of the wine on their menu. Nice guy and I actually gave him a $10.00 cash tip and he turned around and charged us double than what he told us he would. On Sunday March, 29th, 2015 we showed up at the executive lounge around 5:20 (It supposedly opened for drinks and light food at 5:00). The young lady working in the lounge hadn't put any of the food out yet. No problem, we weren't there for the food, we wanted a glass of wine and perhaps a few crackers and cheese. She told us we would have to wait for a drink until she put all the food out. Again, no problem. There was another family in the lounge and no one else was in the joint. She served them drinks after we arrived and asked for drinks but was told we had to wait. Okay, still no problem, perhaps they arrived at 5:00 and she thought they had waited too long and wanted to make it up to them. We sat there for 20-25 minutes while this lady and one helper slowly put the food out. During this time, several people arrived and were waiting for service as well. I assumed that when she was ready to start serving drinks, she would take ours first as we had been there the longest without being served. Nope, she started serving tables that just arrived while we were going on sitting in this small lounge for a half hour by now. I had to say something at this point and she just said, "I have many things on my mind". You would think at this point that she would come over to our table, apologize for the lengthy wait and take our order. Nope, she disappeared in the back room and 5 minutes later sends her helper to take our order. We ordered the large glasses of wine and he brought us over the small glasses (considerable price difference between the two) and then proceeds to charge us for the large ones. At this time I asked to speak with the hotel manager. Long story short, he came up, apologized and said the drinks were on him. Classy move by management but this young lady never once came over and apologized for her defensive, incompetent and lousy service. We actually stayed there for a while and she never once came over to our table. I would have fired this sniveling inept employee on the spot.... Later, we put our son on one of the hotel vans that compete with the local cab service out front to go back to the college he's currently attending in San Jose. I told the guy at the front desk to add the charge to our room which he gladly did. I saw him asking the van driver who works for the Marriott for an invoice and handed it to me. The charge was $35.00 and I knew that was accurate because that's the same amount we were charged when we took the same ride 2 days earlier. I found out last night that the driver charged my son on arrival the full fare again.
Clean and staff was very friendly. They charge for internet in the room but not by the pool. I think in the level of a hotel internet should be included in the room. Also should include at least a bottle of water or two in the room at no extra charge. They also need more staff at the breakfast buffet on the weekend, long line for the eggs and had to ask to have potato and bacon refilled.
Carolina at the front desk was wonderful. Patient, helpful and pleasant. When we arrived our Kayak booking had not been arranged by Kayak. It took almost an hour on the phone to get things straightened out.
beautiful building and grounds actual room was a bit shabby, dirty. no fridge, tv didnt work, ac wouldnt turn off, even alarm clock didnt work, strange knocking sound coming from bathroom, and very loud in hall.
Beautiful hotel with some real charm. Staff was first class. Gift shop and cafe are open 24hrs which is a great touch to grab a hot meal anytime. Views are wonderful. Restaurants were too expensive for the area. Since there is nothing within walking distance, and traffic is so bad in the afternoon, they have a captive audience - feels like they're taking advantage of it.
The staff was very helpful and extremely courteous. The layout and decor was top notch and the amenities are amazing. I can't say enough about this place. I'm definitely coming back.
The ambiance! Tropical/lush greenery and colors. Beautiful pool. Excellent food. We were at the hotel just one night before a trip to the Panama Canal. Wish we could have stayed several days.
Beautiful hotel Internet was extra
Upon traveling by bus all day to San Jose for my flight out the next morning, I get to the airport to call for my hotel shuttle... and am told there are no rooms for me, the hotel was overbooked. It's 8pm and I'm tired and hungry - the receptionist tells me to come to the hotel through their shuttle and they'll help me find another room. After waiting longer than she said it would take, the shuttle finally arrives and takes me to La Riviera. The lady at the front desk is nice and tells me that they've gotten me a room at comparable hotel right behind theirs. By the time I am finally shuttled over there and checked into my room it is nearly 10pm - too late for me to mess with any other arrangements for a room upon discovering that the room is NOT comparable in any way!! La Riviera looked nice with AC, flatscreen TV, a pool, free breakfast, style... my 'comparable' room, which was two dollars more even, was a hole-in-the-wall hotel down pretty much an alley. The room was a mess with multiple beds (one a bunk bed), AC or TV didn't work - it was a local family room - and no offense to that, but it was a room I'd NEVER pay $70 in Costa Rica for! I signed up to pay that amount for a nice, classy looking room in a hotel with gardens and ambiance! I felt taken advantage of and ripped off, and upon expressing this to the lady at the new hotel was met with nothing but the offer to find another room. Really?! It was too late and I was exhausted!! I wish either Kayak or La Riviera wouldn't have overbooked their rooms OR the lady would have been honest about the 'comparable' room so I could have found another at the airport before being shuttled to their nook in the huge city and essentially locked in at a late hour. This hotel looked super nice, it's a shame! I would never stay here though because of this experience.
Free airport shuttle 24/7
Nice facility great service and amazing staff! Leaving
The hotel said that the first three floors had no water service and all floors above were booked. However, we went to the fitness center on the main floor and the showers were working fine. The kitchen on the main floor also had a water supply. We found out later that the water line was a lie. The hotel used that as an excuse to send us to another hotel because they had overbooked. The hotel they sent us to had a cheaper rate than Barcelo. The hotel that Barcelo sent us to said that Barcelo over books all the time, lies to their patrons all the time, and sends them to the hotel we were sent to and forces the other hotel to deal with or try to make up for Barcelo's mistakes and poor customer service. Also, one of the reasons we booked this hotel was because of the free airport shuttle service. The shuttle never showed up at the airport. We were told there would be a shuttle at 6:30, at 6:45, we called the hotel and it turns out they never sent a shuttle. We ended up having to get a cab and we were not reimbursed for the taxi ride. For the ride back to the airport, I just booked a taxi because I did not trust the Barcelo shuttle to pick me up in time from the hotel they sent me to. Did not like anything about this hotel.
The staff was wonderful and made me feel right at home. Check in and check out was very quick and efficient!! I also really enjoyed my dinner at the pool bar restaurant!! My room was very clean and comfortable as well and the hot water was AMAZING for my bath!! There was nothing I didn't like!!
The buffet breakfast was great, variety and quantity. Enjoy that! The bed was very comfortable, did a lot of sleeping. The shuttle to the airport was free but it goes on the hour and you need to schedule your spots ahead of time. Not a good place to walk anywhere. We wanted food but the restaurant at the hotel opened at 6:30pm. Better expect to catch a taxi or dodge traffic across the highway to go out. Also the restaurant was expensive for the portions, if you want your value, get the dessert bar for 6$. They will charge you for that bottled water they pour you. Wifi was cutting out a lot. They hotel had seen better days, lacking on the details of maintenance. I was happy for a minibar but was told it was 10$ just to unlock it so don't expect to have a fridge in the room. There was an ice bucket though.
Close to where I work Old carpets that smell really bad. Swimming pool not accessible after 5pm or before 9am (Could bot use them since I am on a business trip) Old elevators with weird and scary sounds
Staff are highly friendly and bilingual. Some of them at least. It's right off the freeway and a good price for what you get. Gym was hardly there at all. Fitness is important to me.I can improvise thanks to my training but I might as well have done bodyweight workouts. They didn't have someone at the front gate to let me in so I stood there for a while before crawling under the gate to open it myself.
the grounds were beautiful the location
It was a good hotel for our stay in Costa Rica, but because of the location you can't walk to anything, you need a cab to go anywhere. The food at the restaurant, especially dinner, was expensive and not that impressive.
Nice with free shuttle to airport, comfortable beds and spacious rooms. There were some ants in the bathroom and overall could use more in depth cleaning.
Breakfast buffet was superior and the lobby, garden and the pool were beautiful. The staff were very helpful and kind. You have to take a taxi everywhere, and the cabs that are available at the hotel charge a premium to get you to your next location. It was $12 for a cab ride to Centro downtown and $6 for the cab ride back.
Clean room, and spacious The gym was pretty messy, and too much equipment for the size of room it was in.
Prices for the food... It was over priced.
The staff was very kind and accommodating and the rooms were very clean!
I was very pleased with our stay at the Radisson. Great location within walking distance to downtown Central Market, National Theater, etc. rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great. Staff was helpful and accomadating with any questions / requests. Would definitely stay here again. On site bar /restaurant was a bit pricey.
Good location TV was not working all night.
The staff were helpful and the rooms were clean. Breakfast was included in my stay and was quite nice. Good overall! Google maps directed me to the back side of the hotel and the area behind the hotel is a bit sketchy at night. The hotel has a guard and a fence so it is safe
Clean, quiet, comfortable room. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The bed was broken.
My family were located on 4th floor which had special priviledges such as happy hour drinks and free snacks while my granddaughter & I were on 2nd floor as we booked later than the rest. The manager, without hesitation, arranged for us to have a special pass key so we could enjoy the same privileges. What a great service! Beds were very comfy and the staff were great. Location further from the airport than anticipated
The staff is very attentive and are definetly well trained Not what you would expect. Old, dated, not well kept. Stains in the shower, bedroom carpets. Gardens are not kept properly
good for a quick business trip staff was courteous dirty carpet in room. some maintenance was needed. breakfast was average.
Love the property itself and how big it is. Features an indoor and outdoor pool, indoor being part of Golds Gym attached in the rear. Big highlight was the breakfast that was included, the selection of Costa Rican food was absolutely delicious and they had a very wide variety and selection. The room was big, comfortable, and clean, and housekeeping did a wonderful job after the first night when we left the room in disrepair. Staff was helpful and friendly and offered suggestions on things to do while in San Jose. Free parking and WiFi were a bonus The AC did not work so well in our room and kind of made a buzzing sound most of the night. The shower was busted in that the handle that turns faucet to shower didn't work properly and when you ran the shower it was still coming out of the faucet, thus interfering with the shower pressure. I did mention this to management the following morning, but they were unable to resolve the situation. The sink also was full blast when turned on which meant the water was getting all over the floor. These are minimal issues and I'm sure not every room is like this.
The staff are always friendly and call you by name. Facilities always clean and organized. Very good and tasty free breakfast. I am always happy with their beds and the rooms are very spacious. Bathrooms are always clean and stocked.
The value was extraordinary, loved the hotel, included breakfast and prices at the bar provided value unmatched anywhere I have ever stayed. I did not even get a chance to visit the onsite casino. Staff was friendly, helpful and spoke English very well. Rooms very very well kept, This hotel in San Jose central...it is well located and 30 min from airport. I will never stay anywhere else.
great staff, good breakfast room was not as clean as usual (we stay here often)
The hotel is new, immaculate in all respects with no detail overlooked. The staff are all cordial and professional. I especially would like to recognize Daniela, Alexia and Luis at the front, Phillipe in the dining room and especially Marvin who drove us on the two occasions we stayed there, the first for 3 nights, the second being the last prior to catching an early morning flight. Thanks also to those who are so often overlooked in cleaning the rooms who made us feel like we were the first to use them. not being able to stay longer.
Nice place
Restaurant was under staffed, slow and inattentive. Several guests left their tables without receiving a check after waiting for long periods of time. Food was average.
Excellent, super helpful staff comfortable beds great location room service food was awful (completely raw burger, as if if was just shaped and put onto the bun, not cooked at all, when asked for medium) Fish fingers super dry, no flavor breakfast buffet pancakes put me in the bathroom for a while
we liked the location, close to shops and restaurants, overall a good experience. Very clean and comfortable.
Great place to stay! The continental breakfast was good, loved the fact they had a 24 hour gym and nice pool. Quick taxi service. Not much scenery.
We stay here about once every three months and it's always great. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great location. Clean. Breakfast used to be so good, but it seems that they've cut the breakfast budget and it's really lacking now. Even the cheaper yogurt brand they've switched to tastes awful.
I have enjoyed staying there for the last 3 years and will continue staying there I enjoy the Casino and the staff there I don't have anything to say that I didn't enjoy
We've stayed here before and things were better then. This time we reserved a crib ahead of time, and when we arrived we were told that the crib is on its way. 30 minutes passed and still no crib and no word from anyone. I called reception again and they said that the crib was not coming anymore since they didn't have one for us anymore. They didn't offer any solutions, just said no crib. I asked if there is a small bed they could wheel into our room and finally they agreed. Also there were a few blood stains on our bedsheets. Gross. I told all of this to reception when we checked out but they showed no concern.
The Sheratons transportation service is highly over priced use local cabs . They charge almost double the normal rate for shuttle service The shuttle service is highly over priced and they don't know where they are going
The hotel staff was excellent with communication and accommodating my needs. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and well stocked with necessary items. The hotel is a bit secluded and not within walking distance of anywhere, really.
Loved my rolm because it was very spacious, bed was comfortable, everything was clean except for the trash in the trashcan when I arrived in the room. TV was great with different languages including Mandarin.. Beautiful vien from my room overlooking the city. Staff was excellent, especially at the front desk. They are bilingual and very informative. Overall, I liked the hotel but I did not like the pool area. There were always meetings being held in that area constantly so I didnt have a chance to swim. The pool was small regardless. I did not like the restaurant or the service very well. I would sit down and 20 minutes would pass by without a waiter approaching me and I would sit where they could clearly see me. I then have to flag them down to put my order in. The food was okay and pricey. You could do better at McDonald's in taste and price. The free breakfast there was very nice. Good assortment of fruit, cereal, yogurt, meat, bread, egss, juice, and milk. Location around the area is not the safest. As a foreigner, I do not recommend others to walk alone. Use a taxi.
Nicest place I ever stayed in. Brand new luxury.
From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly, helpful, and throughout our stay they were always ready to assist, whether providing an extra towel or arranging transportation. Things you might expect, but with a far better attitude than you tend to find in the USA. The entire hotel was very clean at all times, which is important to me. Toilets allow you to flush paper, unlike many local establishments. Food was consistently fresh and tasted excellent. No genuine complaints. Trying to think what I'd have preferred to be different, the hallways and bathroom were less brightly lit than I'd like, but not bad. The hotel is very much a European style and not intended to look local in any way. My teens were the youngest people I saw there, and it's not set up for young kids. Location is great if you plan to spend time in San Jose but not terribly convenient to tourist attractions...which is true of any hotel in San Jose.
The rooms, cleanliness, modern, convenience, breakfast etc. Nothing, good experience
Nice hotel with a boutique feel. Hot complimentary breakfast, clean, spacious, and updated rooms. Get 100 channels on television, some of which are HBO and English speaking stations and local South Florida news. Beautiful view of the mountains and city of San Jose. Great location. Only a few blocks from city center. Staff friendly and English speaking. Very helpful with reserving airport transfers at a affordable price. Friendly staff. Would recommend. No complaints.
Excellent service, spacious room, excellent food with local ingredients.
The room was spacious and clean. Good A/C The breakfast was vry good and freshly made. The staff is always helpful and the grounds are well maintained. We really like eating at the Kapanese restauarant Sakura
The spa The wind
Stayed on 2 Saturdays a week apart. Big Parties and Events going on. Our room was too close to the action. Last night there was an event like senior prom. Kids running through the halls yelling. Nothing seemed to be done to curb the noise. When we finally left after no sleep at 5am, the party goers were still going strong. Front Desk didn't seem too interested in resolving either.
Hotel a\was very clean and comfortable. Restaurants were excellent. Staff was very helpful for us non-Spanish speaking guests. Hotel is located not far from the airport and across the highway from a shopping center. Steam Iron did not work.
The Location was excellent. We especially liked the proximity to the Hard Rock Café and the shopping mall. The airport shuttle, the free wifi, complimentary luggage storage and having the breakfast included were the key factors in our decision to book this hotel. We originally booked one night and then a separate one night stay in order to tour the Tortuguero National Park, but due to severe flooding in that area we ended up returning early and checked in a night earlier. The staff was very accommodating and helped us to upgrade to a junior suite so that we could "Dry out" from our adventures. Being able to relax in comfort during our last day in Costa Rica really helped to finish our vacation on a positive note! The hotel was a little dated in it's furnishings and décor. The pool was chilly and had a quite a few leaves in it. The Jacuzzi pool heater was also not working, so it was chilly too. The room (Junior Suite) was nice with plenty of space, but also was a little dated. The Shower that was in the corner Jacuzzi tub was odd, especially because it did not have a curtain or door. Also it was a little awkward to step over the side of the deep tub to get in and out of the shower.
Staff was unfriendly and did not help answer questions clearly.. The pool bar was closed and the "amenities" are really just available through the country club next door
After seeing my room, I was expecting the rest of the hotel to be run-down and in disrepair. I was happy that the breakfast buffet was good, and offered good selections, and everything there looked and 'felt' clean. Proximity to airport and free shuttle were plusses. I had a one-night stay in advance of my flight from the airport. So, I chose this hotel for proximity to airport and the free shuttle. The room was run-down. Not at all what I expected given the reviews. The bathtub had broken tiles; the bathroom floor had broken tiles and long stray hairs. All of that, of course, makes for an uncomfortable stay because one is constantly wondering about whether there are other lurking 'unseen' unclean/unsanitary conditions. My room looked "out" onto a glass enclosed hallway, so unless I wanted to be visible to anyone walking by, I had to keep my black out curtains closed.
The customer service and breakfast were excellent! The pool is also nice to enjoy. We stayed in the deluxe room for 96 per night, but it wasn't so deluxe. The room was dated and the bathtub had permanent stains and a ring around it. We asked to see another room, but the bathroom was worse than the one that we was in. I was dissatisfied due to the price we paid.
We just stayed for one night, but it was a great stay. The staff were extreamly helpful in getting us organized to fly out the next morning. I LOVE that they have their own IN-HOUSE taxi service. Makes getting out much more stress and hassle free. I wish I would have known that prior as we probably would have gone downtown. As it was, we just went to the Harly Davidson Shop via taxi. I love that the Hard Rock cafe is in the same parking lot (don't eat there though) and the mall is just across the highway (there is an over the freeway walk just down from the hotel). I HIGHLY recommend eating in the hotel at the Quattro (sorry about the spelling, but I have already tossed my receipt) It was really much better quality for the money compared to the Hard Rock food (yuck and high with poor service).
I like that the hotel provides transportation to/from the airport. Also the breakfast good variety. The staff was great ( the bell people) as well as the system technician I had an issue with my phone and he took his time to help me. I didn't like the condition of my room. I didn't mind the tower I had didn't have an elevator. But the rooms need an upgrade. When I got to my room the light didn't work so I used the lamp. The bathroom was in bad condition the tiles on the bathtub were cracked and missing the tub had a yellowish color. When I took a shower the water didn't drain right away so it was gross. The ceiling and floor of the bathroom in bad shape. The bed every time I moved the headboard will hit the wall and made a noise. They probably have better rooms I was told they are remodeling some of the rooms. I was in tower 5. I was just staying one night.
this is a perfect place to spend a night after getting off a plane.
our room smelled terribly of mold and mildew. We wanted to eat breakfast but had to walk quite a ways to a bridge in order to cross a very busy highway to find a restaurant that was open. We chose this hotel for its free airport shuttle, but the shuttle operated after 5:00 AM and we needed to be at the airport before 5:00 AM to catch our 7:00 SM flight. We won't be staying there again! I also had to meet someone in the lobby and we both sat there sweating because the lobby was not air conditioned.
The atmosphere, the fact that is new and clean. The personnel of the hotel, the food during breakfast. I did not like the streets surrounding the hotel
Located just off the bustling central street, the Hotel Presidente offers refined comfort in their modern-designed hotel. From friendly greeting from the staff to a tasty breakfast, our stay was pleasant from beginning to end. The location allows any traveler to find restaurants and the Teatre Nacional within minutes. For such a modern and refined hotel, we were surprised to find the window would not lock shut! Though we were up high, this "insecurity" may cause anxiety for some; for others, like us, we prefer to have the window open at night. Our bed was also surprisingly hard while among new bathroom facilities when also in a room with new bathroom facilities.
All of the staff were friendly and helpful and their english was good. Jorge at the front desk was a super star. I'd had some challenges with my room on an earlier/previous stay and then again on my most recent stay so Jorge upgraded me to a suite. But they had remodeling construction going on and the suite was right above the noisy area so Jorge moved me to a nicer suite away from the noise and provided some other comforts to make up for the inconvenience. He really went out of his way to make me comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the servers and cooks top notch. Unfortunately the remodeling construction was loud in the mornings if you wanted to sleep in. And although the location was central in San Jose with easy access to shops and taxi's the street noise from vendors yelling sometimes was irritating.
Located on a pedestrian street within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. Room faced away from the street and was quiet. Room rate included free secure parking. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful in pointing out local sites and places to eat.
Location was excellent-right on the pedestrian walkway convienient to stores, restaurants, and sights. Breakfast was included and had made to order eggs, and other offerings. Wi-fi was free. Rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The professional staff was incredible.
Very clean! Cool vibe. Great location. Incredible breakfast included. Very amicable staff.
Don't leave the hotel after dark.
The staff was very helpful. Or original room did not have the right beds for 4 adults. They immediately found us a better room, no questions asked.
This hotel needs remodeling. It looks old and the rooms are old fashion with very low ceiling and old and noisy a/c units. the breakfast plan included with the room is not buffet and honestly is very small portion. Infraestructure and poor breakfast.
When we arrived at Aloft, the lobby was packed with people. There was some kind of party going on. The staff told me I they didn't actually have a room for me, despite my reservation. Instead they told us we had to stay at the Hotel Indigo down the street. Indigo was fine, but they charged us more for the room, and it was not the room configuration we reserved at Aloft.
This hotel had it all. I had a long layover and stayed here. It was the perfect place to relax with fabulous ammenities. No complaints! I wouldn't have changed a thing!
I liked that there was a bar on site and a pool table. The bathroom was spacious. The night we stayed there, a DJ was playing loud music in the reception area. I couldn't really hear the woman who was checking us in at the front desk.
Very different experience as a hotel , sort of a club in a constant happy hour. No shuttle to the airport and loud music playing all the time at the lobby .
It's modern and with a good location. It feels knew and you'll enjoy the buffet in the mornings. It's definetly for young couples or business travelers Parking is very small if you want to be close to the hotel (only about 8 cars). If there are more than that you'll end up parking at another far away parking they share with other buildings. There isn't a swimming pool
Practical, functional, lively young environment, good breakfast and friendly staff. AC compresors on roof above the 7th floor are not mechanically isolated. First night was like sleeping (not) with the compresor in the room. Staff acted surprised when I asked to be moved. Really? NO SLEEP ON THE 7th!
Pros - Modern hotel/rooms - Diego at the front desk referred us to an awesome club nearby Cons - overwhelming sense of humidity in hotel room - smell of mold - front desk offered us a shuttle for $550 USD one way to Jaco. I told him that I had found a comparable shuttle for $150. He explained that that was impossible---that such a price was likely per person. I ended up booking the $150 shuttle for 7 passengers and it was amazing!
This is a great hotel with a beautiful lobby, very comfortable guest rooms and a good selection of restaurants. The staff was very quick to respond. My only complaint is that it could be anywhere in the world; it doesn't have any local Costa Rican flavor.
I was amazed last week during the inauguration of the new Club Tower at the InterContinental Costa Rica. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious and the spa is just wonderful. The new gym is unique. You will not find something similar in Costa Rica. I am looking forward for my next trip to stay in one of the new rooms. Congratulations!!!
This is a beautiful hotel with an extremly relaxing and luxurious pool setting. We used all the amenities including the gym, pools, spa and restaurants. The waiters, waitresses and spa employees were the nicest I think I've ever encountered at a hotel. Their professional and friendly service continued all week long! Which is why we were extremly shocked to witness the unprofessional and unaccomodating managment staff. We had to wait 2 hours for our room to be ready even though they gave us a specific check in time. Then for the 11:30am scheduled checkout they called us at 6:00am becuase they could not run our credit card on the restaurant tabs (we prepaid for the hotel). That was frustrating being woken up on our last day of vacation when we had a long day of travel ahead of us. Lastly, my husband stepped out of a restaurant to speak to a manager because the table next to us had a child that was standing next to us scream singing and pounding thier feet dancing along with the father. It was our anniversary so we went to the very expensive adult restaurant within the hotel but ended up having to leave our dinner becasue we could not even have a conversation. The manager did nothing.
We stayed overnight after flying in late and left after lunch the next day. This place is not that close to the airport and the most direct way there involves some winding around back roads. So you either will get charged by the taxi to go all the way into San Jose and back out on the highway or you see some local scenery that will make you worry the driver is trying to rip you off. Price is reasonable by US standards but a little high compared to other options in the area. Figure in the price of the taxi and relative distance from airport and downtown. It is located next to a big mall and business area, but that was not why we were visiting CR. The room was fine. Comfortable and all the usual amenities of a nicer hotel. Unfortunately, smoking is allowed in the open lobby, so smoke permeates to the upper floors. Water is generally safe to drink in CR, but just to remind you, there is a little sign in the bathroom that tells you they filter the water. No need to pay for the bottled water in the room. Staff were the high point of the stay. Front desk was very helpful and was able to exchange money at a good rate. Concierge helped us change our car rental reservation from the airport to the downtown location and made sure we got there. This last part was important because they do not believe in street addresses in CR (instead, they say something like '200m east of McDonalds on Paseo Colon').
I was very happily surprised by service: at frontdesk, at restaurants, event organization overall... everyone willing to help, and very friendly. A couple of highlights: the sushi restaurant is very good quality and reasonable prices...the beds are very comfortable...\nThe hotel is also strategically located close to all hotspots in town, the Escazu and Santa Ana areas...I highly recommend it!\n
My son gave his Mother and I a trip to Costa Rica for our 50th anniversary present. We started out at the Real Intercontinental. As a former Pan Am employee, who frequented the Intercontinental Hotels (then owned and operated by Pan Am), I can say with certainty.......the Real has maintained the class and luxury that I.H. was always known for. The maintenance is excellent; the sevice impeccable; and the acommodations luxurious. Not to mention excellent cuisine in the restuarants. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you to the management and staff of the Real Intercontinental, San Jose, Costa Rica. James A. & Norma Byers
I liked the idea of a full breakfast No rice and beans on the breakfast buffett!!!!!! (Costa Rican Staple) seems as a converted property to use as a hotel. The rooms and grounds were set up strangely and there were many stairs to travel from location to location on grounds. If driving your own vehicle, this hotel is very hard to find.
The hotel is interesting. The rooms are also setup strangely but comfortable. Good breakfast This place was sooooooo hard to find. We drove past it a couple of times. It doesn't look like a "normal" Country Inn and Suites. We didn't have the luxury of a picture before we tried to find it. There was NO sign!! They claimed it was down getting repaired. The front lobby looks like an office building. Please get that sign up!!
King size bed The cockroaches.
Good Dinner, free breakfast bar, convenient to airport, for 1 or 2 night stay. Nice courtyard/pool area. Free WiFi. Great for the price.
Nice stuff very helpful ,clean room , Nice and clean swimming pool and the delicious breakfast
service, Courtesy, confort, convenience
The whole hotel was very clean and staff were friendly. The restaurant was delicious for breakfast.
Amazing service, greeted us with fruit juice and snacks. Front desk was so helpful and kind. Will definitely stay here again.
Decor and art work is very upscale, great price, exceptional clean and modern. The bathroom has glassware not paper or plastic cups, blow dryer and nice towels. The coffee for a hotel was phenomenal. The bed was extremely comfortable. Was very quiet, and TV had great chanel options for English speaking and sports. The breakfast was outstanding. No transferse available. I needed a transfer. No microwave or bath robe. But didn't need it anyway.
Top notch staff in the hotel and restaurant. The art is simply beautiful and the facilities are brand new and luxurious. I think they are setting the pace for luxury in the San Jose area. If you don't drive, which is absolutely frightening in San Jose, you will be limited on things to do around the hotel. But if it's for a couple nights or a meeting this place is very nice!
The art was very interesting and we would have enjoyed staying for two or three days The staff was very nice, the entire facility is very clean, and the breakfast was very good. Shower has low water pressure

Berlin. Germany (SPX) Nov 23, 2011
On 17 November at 19:38 local time (12:38 CET), the Chinese spacecraft Shenzhou-8, carrying the German SIMBOX experiment, landed on schedule in the Gobi desert in Inner Mongolia, completing a successful 17-day mission. SIMBOX, which contains 17 biological and medical experiments, was retrieved by a helicopter crew.
"Figuratively speaking, SIMBOX has been a leap over the Great Wall that has opened up a completely new partnership in human spaceflight for Germany," said Gerd Gruppe, Executive Board member of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) responsible for Space Administration.
"Our new partnership with China provides German scientists with additional research opportunities in space. I do not see this as a competition with our proven long-term cooperation partners, the United States and Russia, but rather as a complement."
The equipment has now arrived and been opened at the Payload Integration Test Centre of the Chinese General Establishment of Space Science and Application in Beijing.
After what is referred to as the checkout of the samples, DLR's SIMBOX project manager, Markus Braun, was highly satisfied: "SIMBOX has worked wonderfully. Once the samples have been brought to their respective laboratories, the participating scientists will start to evaluate them." Seven research institutes from Germany are involved in SIMBOX.
During the mission, plants, nematodes, bacteria, and human cancer cells were exposed to the weightlessness and cosmic radiation of space for two and a half weeks.
The experiments addressed biological and medical issues of fundamental importance. Scientists from the universities of Erlangen, Hohenheim, Magdeburg, Tubingen, Hamburg, and Freiburg, as well as from the Charite Berlin took part in the studies.
In addition to six German experiments, two were run in cooperation with China. Researchers from the universities of Erlangen and Wuhan examined material and energy flows in a closed miniature ecosystem populated by algae and snails.
In the second German-Chinese experiment, scientists from Hamburg University and the Institute of Biophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing crystallised medically relevant proteins in microgravity.
Researchers hope to find important starting points for developing substances to attack antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the vector-borne parasites that cause malaria.
Under the Shenzhou (Divine Craft) programme, the core of China's manned space flight, the Chinese space agency CMSEO (China Manned Space Engineering Office) cooperated with another nation for the first time. On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), DLR Space Administration was responsible for coordinating and managing Germany's share of the project. T
he SIMBOX apparatus was built by Astrium in Friedrichshafen. This unmanned flight of the Shenzhou spacecraft to the first module of the future space station, 'Tiangong' (Palace in the Sky) was a field trial for China's future in human spaceflight.

Browse and register for related classes.
Urge incontinence is a need to urinate that is so strong that you
cannot reach the toilet in time. It can occur even when the bladder contains
only a small amount of urine.
Urge incontinence can be caused by bladder
contractions that are too strong to be stopped by the bladder outlet valve
(sphincter). This results in a near-emptying of the bladder.
Medicines and behavioral strategies, such as eliminating
caffeinated and carbonated drinks, are used to treat urge incontinence.

It was there, the game and likely the series, hanging in the balance, everything tied up at 2-2. First, the Anaheim Ducks – playing before a capacity home crowd Wednesday that even included some standing-room attendees – dominated the early going and managed 18 first-period shots.
After the break, the Detroit Red Wings took control and for a time in the second period, Anaheim's defensive play was so discombobulated, the game took on a real Keystone Cops feel for a time. Predictably, it settled down in the third, the teams knowing their playoff lives could be on the line.
Ultimately, it turned – as playoff games so often do – on an overtime moment produced by the Ducks' Ben Lovejoy 1:54 in. As Lovejoy went down the wall, the puck skipped over his stick, momentarily freezing his check, the Red Wings' Gustav Nyquist. Lovejoy regained control of the puck, and shoveled it in front to Nick Bonino, who fired it into the open net for a 3-2 Anaheim win. It also gives the Ducks a 3-2 lead in the series, with Game 6 set for Detroit on Friday.
According to Lovejoy, "I really wanted to shoot the bouncing puck, but I couldn't control it. I was able to get a little toe-drag in and able to hit Nick back door.
"Mentally, that was a huge win for us. We've struggled in this series in overtime against that team. I wouldn't say - actually I would say - they've had our number in overtime. Our ultimate goal is to beat this team in this series and win the Stanley Cup and you're not going to do that if you can't win overtime games."
In all, it was a highly entertaining game, mostly played at a furious pace, and featuring some of the best goaltending of the opening round. Both the Red Wings' Jimmy Howard and the Ducks' Jonas Hiller took turns making timely saves to keep their teams in the game, as the momentum seesawed back and forth all night.
The Ducks also received a strong game from their team captain, Ryan Getzlaf, who scored the second-period tying goal and helped change the momentum of a game that had swung dramatically in Detroit's favour for a time. Playing with a 2-1 lead, the Wings had a chance to put it away when the Ducks Daniel Winnik was called for a boarding major against Danny Cleary. But Anaheim's penalty killing managed to kill most of it off, and then Getzlaf drew a penalty with time running out. Once Winnik was back on the ice, Getzlaf scored on a nicely placed shot that fooled Howard.
"It was important, that was a huge kill for our group," said Getzlaf. "A five-minute power play, it's tough.
"Tonight was a pretty even hockey game. It went both ways at different times. The goaltending made some big saves at both ends. Obviously, we want to shore things up a little bit, but we got the first period we wanted and that was important."
As Getzlaf implied, the Ducks were unlucky to get out of the first period with no better than a 1-1 saw-off, after dominating the run of play. But they'd given up an early power-play goal to Johan Franzen, which stood up for the longest time.
Franzen, known as the Mule, had been a dominating playoff scorer for the Red Wings during consecutive trips to the Stanley Cup finals a few years back and this was his third of this year's post-season, as he's looking like a dangerous forward again. But on his goal, he got a favourable carom off Sheldon Souray's skate, a rebound that came right back onto his stick – and he made no mistake, poking in a backhand with the Ducks' Corey Perry in the penalty box for goaltender interference.
Howard kept the Ducks off the score sheet until the 17th shot of the period, a seeing-eye wrister from Kyle Palmieri. As five players moved in unison across the slot, Palmieri turned and fired a shot through traffic that Howard couldn't possibly see until it was behind him in the net.
The Red Wings came out with a far greater purpose in the second and controlled play, but didn't get a second shot past Hiller until the frequently injured Mikael Samuelsson scored his first goal in over a year by converting the rebound of a Henrik Zetterberg shot on a two-on-one rush. It was Hiller's only weak moment of the period, needlessly surrendering a fat rebound on a shot from Zetterberg that shouldn't have given him that much trouble.
But Hiller immediately followed by stopping Damien Brunner on a clear breakaway, as the Ducks' defensive coverage completely fell apart for a time. Next, Francois Beauchemin dangerously put a clearing attempt right on Pavel Datsyuk's stick, but Hiller stepped up and stopped his chance as well.
The Red Wings had an excellent opportunity to edge ahead at the 14:15 mark of the second when Winnik received a five-minute boarding major for pasting Danny Cleary into the boards behind the Detroit goal. Winnik was coming in hard on the forecheck and had Cleary lined up, just as the Red Wings' winger tried to reverse the puck behind the net and briefly exposed his numbers.
But the Ducks' penalty killers settled matters down and then received a key play from Getzlaf, who drew a holding penalty from rookie Brendan Smith, with Anaheim playing a man down.
Just 13 seconds after Winnik's return, Getzlaf backed the Detroit defence off, looking as if he were trying to pass. But with Matt Beleskey streaking to the goal, Getzlaf put his head down and fired a shot past Howard, squaring the game at 2-2 after 40 minutes.
Bonino may have scored the winner, but he noted how important Getzlaf's contributions were to getting the Ducks back in the game – and then settling the team down heading into overtime. Twice previously in the series, the Red Wings were the team that emerged victorious in the extra session, so the Ducks figured they were due for a break.
"You can't say enough about him," said Bonino. "He's a true leader. Every night he's doing something – he's blocking shots, he's playing well defensively, and that's when he doesn't score. Most nights, he does score. That's the guy you want as your leader. That's how you look up to."Report Typo/Error

This book came out 5-7 years ago and was by a male author. What I remember is that it is set in San Francisco, I think before the turn of the last century. The guy is almost elderly when he meets the very young girl. He progressively gets younger, she gets older. I think his name was Max but I'm not positive.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Umm... Is it that short story by Fitzgerald that has been made into a movie recently? The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?
Isn't that the new movie that Brad Pitt is in -- Benjamin Button?
Ooops probably should have read the previous posts first.
This is not the right book, but an additional suggestion. You might like Portrait of Jenny by Robert Nathan. Very ethereal and romantic, I loved it.
