Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Rising anti-Semitism is an indication that the world still has not learned the lessons of the Holocaust, survivors here for the opening of the new Holocaust museum said on Tuesday.
Holocaust survivors as well as presidents and government ministers from some 40 countries are in Jerusalem this week for the inauguration of the new Holocaust History Museum at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem.
But Rebbetzin (title for a rabbi's wife) Esther Jungreis, who runs an organization called Hineni for Jewish students in the U.S., said that while the Jewish people triumphed over the Holocaust, anti-Semitism is as bad today as it was when she was a child.
"Anti-Semitism, and racism and hatred are growing around the world...Anti-Semitism is escalating and we have not learned the lesson of the Holocaust," said Jungreis. "I see anti-Semitism today as I saw it when I was a young child."
Anti-Semitism has been on the rise in Europe and elsewhere since the outbreak of the Palestinian armed conflict against Israel more than four years ago.
Jungreis, who is a member of the delegation representing President Bush at the events here this week, is a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She was 17 years old when she and her family were deported from Hungary to the camp.
"I must tell you that the very fact that I a child from Bergen-Belsen am standing here in Jerusalem, it has to give you goose bumps," Jungreis told reporters in Jerusalem.
She used the Hebrew word Hineni , which means "here am I," and was the response of Biblical prophets to the call of God, to describe her existence.
It is "mind boggling" that the Jewish people returned to Jerusalem after 2000 years of all the evil they suffered, Jungreis said.
"The average person today never considers what it was like in those days of darkness. They forget; they don't understand it. So Yad Vashem in Jerusalem is a testimony of the triumph of the Jewish spirit," she said.
"There is no other nation that could have done this. It was only by the help of the Almighty God that we survived this evil," Jungreis said. "But...we didn't survive it, we triumphed over it."
Jungreis challenged the West to do some "soul-searching" because, she said, it was the "most delightful nation in the world" that perpetrated the Holocaust and it was the lawyers, doctors and scientists who orchestrated it, she said.
Elie Wiesel, one of the most famous survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp, is also a member of the U.S. delegation, led by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. Wiesel spoke at the inaugural ceremony at Yad Vashem on Tuesday evening.
Wiesel said that many people say that the Holocaust was "man's inhumanity to man" but it was not. "It was man's inhumanity to Jews," he said.
"We never tried to tell the tale to make people weep; we didn't want pity," Wiesel said. "We decided to tell the tale...so the world will be a better world."
Nevertheless, Wiesel said that 60 years after the liberation of Auschwitz there is still anti-Semitism and there are suicide bombers. He related the situation to characters in the works of the famous Jewish writer Franz Kafka, who had a miserable character in his stories who tried to deliver a message but no one paid attention.
Speaking at a dinner following the ceremony, Israeli President Moshe Katsav said that the wave of anti-Semitism in the world is the worst since World War II.
The Jewish people thought that anti-Semitism would "never raise its head again," Katsav said, but once again there are attacks on synagogues and cemeteries.
Nevertheless, Katsav commended those European leaders who had reacted against anti-Semitism and denounced attacks against Israel. "Europe is now another Europe," he said.
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan mentioned that the universal charter on human rights had been set up in response to the Holocaust and said that the world could not "stand silent against racism and discrimination."
The 4200-square meter museum will replace the older museum at the 25-acre memorial site. It is designed to tell the story of the Holocaust from the victim's - the Jewish - perspective.
Nevertheless, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said that this week's event delivers two important messages.
First of all that 40 nations are standing here in Jerusalem in memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and against anti-Semitism but also that German dictator Adolf Hitler did not succeed in wiping out the Jewish people, Regev said.
"Today Israel is a thriving successful state," Regev said. "Israel is the answer to the Holocaust."
By coming here, the nations are identifying with the "Jewish past" but also "with the Jewish future, which is Israel," he added.

Opening a merchant annual is not as difficult as abounding merchants initially believe. Indeed, it's a rather quick, aboveboard process, decidedly if you apperceive the answers to the afterward 7 accepted questions that affect to accepting acclaim agenda processing adequacy for your business:
Q1. What do I allegation to set up a merchant account?
A1. Although underwriting requirements alter a allotment of processors, you will about allegation the afterward acknowledging documents: Copies of your driver's approval and business approval or Articles of Incorporation, a sample adjustment of marketing, such as a flyer, brochure, or business card, and a voided analysis from your coffer or a coffer acceptance letter, acknowledging that you acquire an annual with the bank, allegorical the annual and acquisition numbers. Of course, you'll aswell acquire to complete and abide your application.
If you're a sole proprietor, the underwriting requirements are even beneath demanding. Instead of appointment a business license, for example, you may alone acquire to accommodate a archetype of a annual bill absolute your name and address.
Q2. Will my appliance be accustomed and/or will any conditions, such as a rolling reserve, be required?
A2. It's absorbing to agenda that abounding processors acknowledge that they acquire 98%+ of applicants. This is added a business artifice than the reality. While this approval bulk is over-inflated, the all-inclusive majority of merchant applicants will get approved.
The underwriters will appraise the appliance and accede belief such as the applicant's acclaim score, attributes of business, how continued the business has been operating, the processing aggregate that the appellant needs, etc. The underwriters will accomplish their assurance and let you apperceive if any altitude will be imposed. While an antecedent or rolling assets is hardly appropriate (mandating that the merchant abode funds in the processor's accepting coffer or acquire a allotment of the processing go to that bank), it can happen. Again, it's acutely attenuate to acquire a assets imposed by a full-service merchant account; in contrast, a third affair provider, such as PayPal, may now crave rolling affluence for abounding of their clients.
Q3. What if my acclaim annual is not good? Will my appliance automatically be declined?
A3. The underwriters may appearance the acclaim annual as the a lot of important criterion, and thus, an abortive annual may crop an abortive outcome. However, you still may be able to set up a merchant annual if added belief are advised favorable — abnormally if you plan to bash you customers' acclaim cards. (Card present or swiped merchant accounts are advised abundant safer than non-card present accounts, and underwriters are accordingly added advanced in their controlling for retail or wireless merchants.)
All applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If your acclaim annual is acutely low, you may aswell be able to defended a cosigner with acceptable credit, enabling the appliance to be approved. The antidote of a top annual cosigner may not plan with all processors but conceivably it's annual a try.
Q4. Why does my acclaim annual matter?
A4. Any time you defended a loan, the admiral that be analysis your acclaim score. Merchants don't apprehend that acclaim agenda processing is alike to accepting a loan. You're getting adjourned aural a brace of canicule and it's not a authoritativeness whether you'll acquire to "pay back" that transaction bulk in the future.
Specifically, chump disputes or chargebacks may arise, even six months afterwards a transaction has taken place, area a accustomed chump questions the actuality of the transaction. If that occurs, the processor may anon abstract the transaction bulk from your blockage account. If there are bereft funds (a low coffer antithesis is accepted a allotment of individuals with poor credit), the processor is larboard captivation the accepted bag. Some processors alternatively authority that aforementioned bulk from approaching batches, causing abrasion amid merchant and processor.
Processors wish to ensure that their merchant abject can awning chargebacks, and it's apparent that business association with decent/good acclaim are added able of accomplishing so that their lower annual counterparts.
Q5. Is the appliance difficult to abounding out?
A5. While few of us like to complete forms, the appliance should be actual simple to abounding out. A lot of of the questions asked are self-explanatory, and you'll be accouterment advice about yourself and your business (e.g., name, address, acquaintance information, coffer annual information, etc.).
The acumen you acquire to accommodate your coffer annual advice is to let the processor apperceive area to drop and abjure the funds. (I accept this answers the benefit merchant annual set up question, "How do you apperceive area the funds go?")
Perhaps the a lot of difficult allotment of the appliance is if you acquire to announce your advancing annual volume, boilerplate ticket, and accomplished ticket. It's consistently best to OVER-estimate these figures, aural reason. For example, if you address that your accomplished admission is $200 and you action a transaction in the bulk of $500, this will red-flag and the funds will be held. Subsequently, you'll acquire to accommodate the accident administration with a archetype of the balance and conceivably even coffer statements (again, to appearance you can awning a abeyant chargeback). The processor will aswell acceptable affirm the auction with the customer's agenda arising bank. To abstain this scenario, it's bigger to activity college amounts for these categories.
Q6. I just completed the merchant annual but apprehension all these agreement and conditions. How do I apperceive what I'm signing?
A6. You about acquire to be an advocate to accept the agreement listed. All merchant annual providers acquire agnate agreement and altitude as abounding directives are imposed by the agenda captivation associations, Visa and MasterCard.
It still advantageous to apprehend the T&C and you can ask any questions to the agent. A point of reassurance: The all-inclusive majority of merchants are processing after any issues, and appropriately so, as this should be an automated process.
Please aswell bethink that you will see circumlocution pertaining to a host of issues — a lot of of which will never result. For instance, you'll see altercation about affluence but this is not applicative to a lot of merchants who are not appropriate to accessible a reserve.
Just exercise accepted faculty and you should be fine: Do not "loan" your merchant annual to a acquaintance who needs to action a acclaim agenda or use the annual for a business article you were not approved. Bethink not to beat your defined accomplished admission and acquire abounding funds in your coffer annual to awning processing-related fees. Of course, alone allegation cards if you acquire your customer's approval to do so.
Finally, all processors acquire circumlocution pertaining to rates, as they can and will accession them at any time. This is barefaced as the agenda captivation associations accession their rates; the processors again canyon through these increases to the merchants. It's consistently best to go with a merchant annual provider that will abandon any abortion or abandoning fee if such costs become prohibitive.
Q7. How continued does the merchant annual set up take?
A7. Typically, it alone takes 1-2 canicule afore the advocate either approves or declines the application. Assuming approval, it again takes about a day for the abstruse administration to body the all-important backend files.
Upon approval, any equipment, if applicable, will be alien out to you. Internet merchants should accept an activation hotlink so they can alpha ambience up their transaction gateway.
By acceptable accustomed with the merchant annual set up action and what it entails, you're now added able and assured to access acclaim agenda processing capability. Opening a merchant annual is absolutely easy; award the appropriate merchant annual provider is abundant added challenging, but if you're account this entry, you're on the appropriate track.

| I think that it is ridiculous that this is even being considered. At this point in our food chain availability why would you approve something you have no idea of what the real long term effects of cloned animal product will have on humans.
I am sure it is more expenseive to produce so it will not make it easier to feed the world.
As a consumer I would find it deplorable if the FDA did not require the producers of artificial life for food to label the product as coming from a cloned source. As well as requiring restuarants and any other public food seller or manufacturer to declare that cloned ingredients are being used.

Supporters of
Fearful that he may be alienating those in caucus whose votes he will need if there is a move on Prime Minister
As they expressed their concern, an email from a disillusioned voter slamming Mr Rudd's behaviour was circulated throughout the party and quickly leaked to the media, all while Mr Rudd was in Adelaide on Wednesday speaking at a reconciliation breakfast.
In doing so, he flagged a new element of policy by declaring that Australia needed to double the number of indigenous university students.
On Tuesday, Mr Rudd used an extended interview on Sky News to take a veiled swipe at Ms Gillard and Treasurer
Kevin Rudd's extended interview on Sky News.
On the weekend, Mr Rudd insisted that the federal police conduct a more thorough investigation of the leaking of video footage a year ago showing him swearing and losing his temper when he was prime minister. This was perceived within caucus as sooling the police on to the prime minister's office.
A year ago, when Mr Rudd was gearing up to challenge Ms Gillard, he frustrated his supporters by being drawn out by the Gillard camp too early, rather than waiting patiently until after the Queensland state election in March, when there would be momentum for change.
Internal tensions were evident on Wednesday when the email from the voter, Sue Martin, spread throughout the Parliament. Ms Martin, a retired school teacher from Sydney's northern beaches, told The Australian Financial Review she was not a member of any political party but just a disillusioned voter. She sent the email to Mr Rudd and 88 other Labor MPs and senators.
"Your disloyalty to your leader and your party is shameful,'' it reads.
"Get over the fact that you are no longer the prime minister. It appears that childishly you feel that if you can't be PM then no other Labor politician should be.''
Ms Martin's email tells Mr Rudd he is mostly to blame for the mess Labor finds itself in.
"Your determination to destabilise the government and your refusal to unconditionally support Julia Gillard, your leader and our Prime Minister, are despicable.''
In Adelaide, Mr Rudd softened his criticism of the mining tax, which raised just $126 million in its first six months, saying "there was still a way to go''.
"I think six months into a new taxation regime that only came into effect in the last year, is probably too early to judge its long-term effect," he said. He flew back to Canberra to appear on Wednesday night on the popular Channel Ten show The Project.

Thirty-five years ago, in a time that seems like ancient history to most young people today, the eminent social critic Robert N. Bellah wrote a book that illumines the current American crisis with devastating precision.
I do not use the phrase, "American crisis," casually. All Americans, whether on the right, the left or in between, understand that the nation is now in a crisis of significant proportions. But most Americans fail to grasp how deeply that crisis runs.
Liberals and conservatives alike seem to think that the core of the American crisis stems from a flagging economy and the threat from Islamic terrorists.
"For 30 years and more, the Christian Right has so successfully eaten away at the core, bedrock values that shaped this nation at its founding."

Robert Kagan fires back at me over the League of Democracies in today's FT.
He purports to be baffled that I should waste my time writing about the league when there are other more urgent issues to discuss – Georgia, Burma etc…Actually, I've written about both of these subjects in the past – and I'm sure I will again. But I think Kagan is too modest. His idea of a League of Democracies is being pushed hard by John McCain, who has a strong chance of being the next US president. So it is surely worth discussing?
Reading Kagan's commentary today, I'm struck by how much we agree on. (There are also disagreements, which I'll get onto in a moment.)
Both our columns ended on the same point. This is obviously not an idea that the US can impose. If European and Asian democracies are not attracted to the League of Democracies, then nothing is going to happen. Kagan also makes much of the fact that the idea of an alliance of democracies has got a lot of support among American liberals. Again, this is a point I made – in fact we cite some of the same names.
So let's get onto the more interesting stuff: the disagreements. I think the most obvious dispute is over whether this is a potentially "dangerous" idea. Read more

Live Commentary
So that's that in Madrid tonight - two more goals from Lionel Messi and another Copa quarter-final on the horizon, but Neymar's injury will be undoubtedly a cause for concern with Manchester City on the distant horizon. Thanks for joining me tonight - stick with Goal for all the reaction!
90'No stoppage time at all, and the whistle goes - 2-0 on the night, 6-0 on aggregate, and Barca are in the quarter-finals!
89'Strong run from Tello but Alexis can't turn away from his man on the edge of the area. Barca come again with Song now.
86'Tello cuts inside and fizzes a shot just over the bar from the resulting corner. Got to give a lot of credit to Codina for that save from Messi - he stayed big and stuck out a strong arm and leg to block a certain goal.
85'Barca just knocking the ball around in Getafe's half at present. Messi snatches the ball and skips his way through but Codina denies him the hat-trick.
82'Great skill from Alexis but his pass to Dani Alves is overhit and runs through to Codina. The match seems to be winding down now.
80'Credit to Getafe, who are continuing to press Barca high up the pitch despite being well out of the tie. Messi tries a one-two with Alexis but the ball is scrambled away to safety.
78'COLUNGA - fine save! Vigaray finds space in behind Adriano and picks out Colunga near the penalty spot but Pinto gets a strong hand to his low shot.
77'Tello steps over the ball and drives for the byline but his cross is straight to Rafa's feet. Sergi Roberto brings it forward for Barcelona again but Getafe have it back with Castro after the youngster's misplaced pass.
76'Getafe concede possession on halfway to allow Barca the ball back from a throw in. Luis Garcia, watching on from the touchline, looks a little wearied by that.
73'ALEXIS - not too far away! The Chilean burst down the right and rifles a shot across goal but he can't keep it on target from a tight angle.
71'Almost a costly slip for Song, who loses his footing to allow Lafita to break, but the ball gets away from him and Barca have it back.
70'SubstitutionCesc Fàbregas Xavi
69'Well what a moment this is. Cesc Fabregas comes off to be replaced by Xavi, who, 15 years on from his debut, makes his 700th appearance for the club. Not too shabby.
68'Pinto punches it clear and Cesc leads the break, but Messi's eventual effort is claimed by Codina.
66'Messi and Cesc combine again to set up a change for Tello but Vigaray recovers well with a block. At the other end, Puyol concedes a corner...
65'SubstitutionJuan Rodríguez Diego Castro
65'Rodriguez - who was rather bamboozled by Messi a minute ago - is replaced by Diego Castro.
64'GOOOAAAAALLLLLLL! LEO MEEESSSI!! What a finish from the Argentine! Just after Getafe had launched their own attack, Messi turns away from Rodriguez and bursts through two further challenges before skipping away from Codina and firing home left-footed. Sublime stuff from the Barca star!
63'Goal Lionel Messi
63'Rafa halts Cesc's run and the ball breaks to Pedro Leon again. He squares up to Adriano and bends a dangerous cross in but Barta is again there to head clear.
62'Pedro Leon is straight into the action, racing clear of Adriano down the right and crossing into the six-yard box but Barta deals with it well.
61'SubstitutionPablo Sarabia Pedro León
61'Sarabia's night comes to an end as Pedro Leon takes to the field.
60'Brilliant pass from Cesc to pick out Alexis but his cross is poor. Messi tries to work the ball back into the area but Rafa snuffs out the initial danger and the ball is back wing Song near halfway.
58'Yellow Card Lisandro López
58'Colunga's been lively this half. He brings down a long ball very well and tries to chip Pinto from 25 yards but Pinto is well positioned to catch it.
56'Good pressure from Getafe as Colunga turns the ball back across and forces Bartra to head clear. Better from the hosts.
54'Alexis tries to trick his way towards the area but loses possession and Lafita brings it forward. Getafe force a corner off Song thanks to Sarabia's shot...
52'Sarabia picks the ball up wide left but his ball to the opposite flank sails out of play. Getafe are playing with renewed vigour in this half, but with no joy as yet.
50'Tello! Another good chance for the winger! Messi runs at the heart of Getafe's defence and slides the ball across for Dani Alves. The Brazilian's deep cross drops to Tello but he volleys handsomely wide.
48'Vigaray looks for Lafita but it runs on through to Pinto. Getafe get it back quickly though with Rodriguez and they look to attack once more.
47'The floodlights went out briefly during the break, but they're back working fully now as Barca look to build an attack with Adriano.
46'We're back underway!
It's believed Neymar has suffered an ankle sprain, with further checks to be carried out tomorrow. Early indications suggest he could be out for two to three weeks, and could miss the game against Manchester City. Not great news for the Blaugrana as the teams come back out here in Madrid.
The main talking point from that half will be the injury to Neymar, who seemed to damage his ankle after falling awkwardly when stretching for the ball. Alexis has also had to be stretchered off for the home side in a stop-start 45 minutes, but if Getafe go all out to restore some pride in the tie then we could well see an entertaining second half. Do stick around!
45' + 1'And that's half-time. Not as entertaining as the first leg but Barca remain in control, with Lionel Messi's goal enough to give the visitors a 5-0 aggregate lead.
45'Good skill again from Tello to evade Vigaray but his cross can only find a cluster of blue shirts. Into stoppage time we go.
44'Goal Lionel Messi
44'GOOOAAAALLLL!!! Out of nothing, Messi puts Barca in front! Tello finds space in the area and puts in a cross, and Messi just gets to the ball ahead of Rafa to divert it into the far corner. That should be the tie over now.
43'Chance for Lafita! Colunga puts Barta under pressure from a high ball and Lafita picks it up and drives for the edge of the area, but his shot is just too high.
42'A strange moment there for Alexis - Messi's throughball runs away from Alves and into the path of the Chilean, but he can only prod tamely at Codina as he tries to keep his balance.
41'Another half-chance for Barca. Some delightful close control from Messi gives him the space to chip the ball to Sergi, but his layoff to Cesc is quickly closed down and Getafe clear.
39'A bit careless from Barca as Dani Alves goes back to Barta, who can only kick the ball out of play under pressure from Sarabia. It's back with the visitors quickly, though.
38'Close there for Tello! Barca break again and Cesc lays it left to the winger, who cuts inside and aims for the near post but misses by a few inches. Codina may well have just got a finger to that.
37'Cesc with an effort which sums up the half there, digging a shot out from under his feet which sails over from 25 yards. Lisandro Lopez has now come on for Alexis. He's managed three goals this season, perhaps he could liven things up...
36'SubstitutionAlexis Lisandro López
36'Another corner for Barca but it's wasted, as Song receives the short ball from Alexis and tries to pick out Messi but the Argentine can't keep it in.
34'Another injury problem, this time for Getafe: Alexis is down in the area and Lisandro Lopez is warming up on the sidelines. Looks to be a groin problem.
33'Another chance for Tello! Song flicks on Messi's corner and Lago totally miskicks the ball, but is across quickly to block Tello's shot and turn it behind for another corner.
32'Sarabia gives it away to Batra and Tello races clear on the counter, but his touch is heavy and Rafa slides in to clear. Good covering from the centre-half.
31'The pace has slowed right down now. Messi tries to open up some space but is quickly closed down by Michel. Cesc then picks out Alexis but Lago stands up and wins it back.
28'SubstitutionNeymar Jr. Alexis Sánchez
28'Lafita tries to put Puyol under pressure but ultimately he bundles over Dani Alves and it's another free kick. Barca try to launch an attack with Cesc.
26'Messi tries to pick out Adriano but Codina is alert and gathers the ball. Neymar, meanwhile, is being helped down the touchline, hopping on his left leg. Not good news for Barca.
23'Sergi Roberto is clipped and it's another free kick. All looks a bit scrappy at the moment. It seems as though Neymar's evening has come to an end, though - Alexis is ready to replace him.
22'Neymar looks in pain here - he's receiving treatment after landing awkwardly following that run and cross.
21'Dani Alves does well to pick out Neymar on the far side and his cross is turned behind by Rafa.
20'Yellow Card Juan Rodríguez
20'Rodriguez then earned himself a booking after chasing down the loose ball and sliding a little too heartily into a challenge against Adriano.
19'CHANCE - great save from Pinto! Sarabia flicks on a cross into Rodriguez's path, and he volleys unmarked from point-blank range only for Pinto to block his effort away. A great save, but Getafe should be ahead.
17'Messi strikes it but it curls into the arms of Codina for a comfortable save.
16'Yellow Card Alexis
16'Early booking for Alexis as he clumsily slices down Neymar. Free kick chance for Messi...
15'Lafita robs Neymar and tries to lead a counterattack after exchanging passes with Sarabia, but Barca win it back.
14'Getafe with a free kick this time but the flag is up for offside against Vigaray. A lively start for the youngster so far.
13'Chance for Tello! Messi's delivery eludes Dani Alves and drops to Tello at the far post, but he slices his effort high and wide from close range.
12'Lively footwork from Adriano draws a tackle from Vigaray and the referee awards a free kick in a dangerous position.
10'Space suddenly opened up there for Messi from Sergi Roberto's pass, but Vigaray just gets a foot in to block the Argentine's pass to Neymar.
9'Alert stuff from Pinto there as Colunga tried to make waves through the middle. Decent start from the home side.
4'MESSI! Close call for Getafe there. Neymar runs at the penalty area and tees up the Argentine who fires just wide of the near post.
2'Barca have quickly settled into their rhthym, with Getafe looking to press when the ball is in their own half.
1'And we're off in Madrid!
The teams are out and the centre-circle formalities are nearly over - kick-off is moments away! Join me at @JoeWright004 to get involved with tonight's proceedings...
Earlier this evening, Real Sociedad bounced back from a recent thrashing to put Villarreal out of the Copa with a 1-0 win, while Real Madrid and Atletico booked their passage before tonight. Espanyol, Athletic, Levante and Racing Santander are also through to the next round, leaving just the one spot for Getafe or Barca.
Barcelona bring a 4-0 first-leg advantage to Alfonso Perez tonight, thanks to doubles from Messi and Cesc in the meeting at Camp Nou. Can the home side harbour any hopes of overturning the deficit? Well, 10.4% of you think they can at least win the game, according to our preview poll...
So Messi makes his first start in two months, while Neymar is also handed a place alongside him in attack. Xavi, who is looking to make his 700th appearance for Barca, has to settle for a place on the bench, along with Valdes, Pique, Pedro, Alexis, Mascherano and Montoya.
And the big news for Barca fans tonight: Messi starts alongside Neymar! Pinto; Dani Alves, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano; Song, Sergi Roberto, Cesc Fabregas; Messi, Neymar, Tello.
Tonight's hosts Getafe line up as follows: Codina; Vigaray, Alexis, Rafa, Lago; Lacen, Michel; Lafita, Rodriguez, Sarabia; Colunga.
Tonight's game may seem almost something of a formality after Barca's resounding first-leg win, but Tata Martino has opted for a fairly strong side, it's fair to say... Details on the way!
Welcome one and all to Goal's LIVE! coverage of Getafe v Barcelona in this Copa del Rey second-leg tie!

Are Jews Who Fear Iran Obsessed With the Holocaust?Jeffrey Goldberg
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Bringing up the subject of the Holocaust at a dinner party can be a downer. Genocide is an unpleasant and apparently insoluble problem, and, when Jews raise it, they run the risk of seeming parochial, even narcissistic.
Sophisticated, cosmopolitan people don't want to be thought of as "Holocaust-obsessed," and applying the lessons of the Holocaust to current events -- particularly those that have to do with the special concerns of Jews, and not Kurds or Tutsis or Tibetans -- is sometimes understood as a form of distasteful special-pleading. "Holocaust-obsessed" is, in fact, a new insult, one meant to sting and to bully into silence.
One person who is undeterred by the accusation is the writer Ron Rosenbaum, who has just published the most important essay I've read this year. Rosenbaum, the author of "Explaining Hitler," writes in Slate that "Holocaust-obsessed," a term that shows up with disquieting frequency in mainstream discussions of Jews and Israel, is meant to marginalize those who believe that vanquishing genocide is the most urgent issue facing humanity, and that the Holocaust holds specific lessons about the way in which Jews should understand hateful rhetoric directed against them.
Two Challenges
"If there were an algorithm for suffering perhaps we would be able to judiciously appraise the claims that there are some among us (mostly Jewish) who are 'holocaust obsessed,'" Rosenbaum writes. "It's the new fashionable meme for those who don't want to be overly troubled by the memory of the death camps and looming threats of a second holocaust. The term enables those who use it to suggest that those more concerned than they are 'obsessed' in an unseemly way."
Two challenges -- one philosophical, the other political -- confront those who argue that one can be too concerned about the Holocaust and its meaning. Rosenbaum quotes the German novelist W.G. Sebald, who said of the Holocaust, "no serious person thinks of anything else," by way of arguing that the mechanized extermination of 6 million Jews crystallizes the most acute problem confronting civilization: How do we combat the desire on the part of some groups to exterminate other groups?
For Jews, the issue Rosenbaum raises is more immediately concrete: Is it a sign of "Holocaust obsession" to be preoccupied by the violent rhetoric directed by the leaders of the Iranian regime against the 6 million Jews of Israel?
"Imagine: worry about extermination threats just because Hitler made extermination threats which he carried out," Rosenbaum writes. "No reason to get all obsessed because another anti-Semitic leader who is seeking nuclear weapons makes similar threats, right? No reason to be troubled about the exterminationist anti-Semitic rhetoric that pervades the airwaves and the cyber realm of every other nation in the region."
Rosenbaum's essay refocused my attention on the largest issues raised by the Iranian regime's apparent pursuit of nuclear weapons and its ferocious Jew-hatred. It is possible to lose the plot amid the welter of International Atomic Energy Agency reports and artfully crafted Iranian denials and intricate discussions of sanctions and endless news coverage of the relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama.
An Asymmetry
But what is happening here is something virtually without precedent in our allegedly enlightened age: A member-state of the United Nations, Iran, regularly threatens another member-state, Israel, with annihilation. It's important to bear in mind a fundamental asymmetry: Israel doesn't seek Iran's elimination. Iran seeks Israel's.
Regime apologists will note that Iranian leaders talk about the elimination not of "Israel" -- a word they generally refuse to utter -- but of the "Zionist regime," which, to the naive and the cynical, implies the replacement of one government with another. This is a pernicious euphemism. Without the "Zionist regime" -- which is to say, the democratically elected government of Israel, its armed forces and security services, and the courts and structures of state -- the Jews who survived the onslaught that "dismantled" their government would face immediate dispossession, and perhaps much worse.
Rosenbaum, an expert on Hitlerian euphemism, told me that one difference between Nazi rhetoric and that of the Iranian regime is that the Iranians' words are blunter, especially when compared with pre-Kristallnacht Nazi language. Rosenbaum notes, in particular, the Iranian reliance on epidemiological metaphor when describing Israel: This year, the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Israel is "a true cancer tumor on this region that should be cut off."
Which returns us to Rosenbaum's central question: Is it obsessive for a group of people who not long ago saw a third of their number slaughtered to worry when the leaders of Iran call Israel a cancerous tumor? Or is it the natural and appropriate response of a people who, conditioned by history, choose to err on the side of caution?

Location was great. Pool was clean and water temperature was perfect. Pool towels were provided at the facility. Hot tub was relaxing (although a little too hot.. but we still enjoyed it). Beach was clean and not crowded. The rooms were clean and included a refrigerator and microwave. The staff was nice. The hotel offers SMS services so you don't have to call or go to the front desk every time. Just send a text message to the number provided and someone answers within 2 minutes. Good eating spots within walking distance. Bed was uncomforable and light bled through the window at night. Some people staying there/hanging outside were a little sketchy so we traveled as a group after dark. Hotel beach-side bar closed too early. We went around 11 pm and it was closed.
Loved that the restaurant was right there on property. It made it really easy to mosey down, sit outside and have a drink and a snack or meal. Love that they have the little firepits and offer s'mores at night that you can purchase. Love that it is right on the beach with a view from the suite. The restaurant wasn't anything amazing, but the servers were nice and the food was good. Front desk was very responsive anytime we had a request for extra washcloths, coffee, etc. The place really needs a good scrubbing and some updating. There was some mildew in the shower, the elevator hadn't seen a cleaning rag or a mop in a good while it looked like. Those kinds of things make you wonder about the room, but it seemed decent.
We got to the hotel, even though everything was and PAYED through KAYAK we didn't had a room. The hotel told us they weren't in contract with kayak anymore. So we payed and had to look for a different hotel. Last time I used kayak I don't care
The location and staff are great, but the hotel is falling apart needs some major repairs. The rate is too high for the time of the year I went. December.
Locations and facilities I have stayed at this hotel many times and it's always been pleasant. However, We did not have a hair dryer and it was difficult to get a new one. Our phone in the room didn't work. The bed had a piece of the frame on the bottom sticking out and was dangerous. We tried to play corn hole and were given 4 small bags so we were not able to play. We only stayed for 1 night and experienced all these problems. The hotel was pricey for one night this time.
We had 2 rooms and the keys to one of the rooms did not work. We hat to be switched to other rooms twice. One of the times the rooms was already being used! The facilities are in very bad state. The food at the restaurant as bland. The floor of the rooms felt dirty. Very bad experience.
Proximity of facility to the beach and to other amenities. The whole facility is outdated. Not very clean and definitely needs new bed and bedding! The hot tub was broken the whole week we were there... disappointing. You get what you pay for.
Nothing Terrible hotel
fun activities on site slow service
The pool area was great for the kids and very secure. The property had a lot to offer, which was great so you weren't spending a lot of time in the room. The room bathroom was disgusting. The front door was loose and not sealed, which did not help the fact that our A/C was broken. Had to contact guest services 3 times about the broken A/C when they finally moved us to a new room.
Walking distance to water and localized pretty well Too much to list. Let's just say was worth it for price and 1 night exp since wasn't in room much
the staff was nice old, most outlets didn't work, lights didn't work, no mini fridge that was promised, uncomfortable bed and pillows, no blanket on bed only sheets, I hope to never stay there again
Good location, nice facility with some interesting history and very pleasant staff. Would definitely return!
Though the pool looked very tempting, the brief walk across the street to the beach looked even better! Lower level room was clean and quiet, even with bar upstairs. Employee at breakfast was diligent in cleaning constantly. Edges of bathtub looked old and worn.
The staff were very helpfull The bathroom flooded, the fixtures were old, and the room smelled of some severe cleaning solution.
the location was easily accessible. the price was ok. the desk mgr was attentive blood stains at the bottom corners of the mattress. odor in the room. large critter in the bathroom. (1.2" reddish brown ?) La Quintas are officially off my list...
Close to beach access. Good value. Not enough towels. Room for 4 and only given 3 towels.
Book this for a one night getaway. Room was recently renovated and clean. All requests were taken care of, and they called the room an hour after check in to see if we needed anything. Would stay again. They are in the midst of a renovation. There wasn't any noise, but there were some dumpsters and equipment around, did not get a heads up. Breakfast was typical, not too appetizing.
Staff is very accommodating and friendly Room renovations are wonderful, loved our room! Quiet Reasonably priced ample parking close to attractions There was nothing we did not like.
Bed was little hard for me
Comfortable room, particularly the beds. Great pool and facilities. N/A
Close to Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral The chain lock on the door was broken so I did not sleep well nor feel secure. The bathroom was disgusting and looked as though it had not been cleaned in years. I booked this reservation through Kayak but ended up also being charged by La Quinta. So I was double charged. After reviewing my bank statement and realizing this today, I contacted La Quinta and they did apologize and a refund is being processed. The hotel just did not seem clean and we will not be going back.
Room was very nice ... Had everything we needed .. Pool area very nice Yard crew using blowers while people were in the area
The staff is very friendly and the location was convinet to a lot of things The floors are very dirty my feet got black after 10 minutes of walking barefoot. The showerhead was mildewed as was the tiller paper holder.bed was not very comfortable
Great customer service. After having a bad run-in with Economy rentalcars, and getting to the hotel at almost midnight, the woman at the front desk was fantastic and helped get my vacation back on track!
Loved the suite room with a separate bedroom, with the view of the Atlantic and the sunrise! Trying to get young children to sleep, it was very noisy by the poolside, with swimmers screaming "Marco Polo" from 8:00 to past 10:00. Too bad the beds are not located on the quieter side of the suite, which I know would not be possible.
The location was excellent and staff was great. The room smelled funky
Closeness to the beach
We liked that it was so close to the beach. The staff was wonderful!
Ocean front view-on the beach, great breakfast, hard working staff.
Right on the beach, nice beds and very clean. Staff was excellent, very welcoming.
The location was excelent and it's in a quiet area, but close to restaurants, shopping, and only steps from the beach and pier. Rooms could be cleaner. Underneath the bed skirting (that skirt that hides the base underneath the bed) were things from prior guest - bottle caps, floss, ugggh. Other than that, it was a decent place. I marked it overall as good, because nowdays, unless your paying $200 or more a night, thats about the cleanest you can expect.
I had a balcony room with an ocean view. It was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. Nothing
We had a double Queen room, which usually means queen beds stuffed into the same size rooms as the full size beds. Nope! Pleasantly surprised! the room was larger, the fridge was larger than the normal Mini you usually get. there were towels everywhere! LOL! The air worked very well. The bed was very comfy. The room was clean. the breakfast was a real Hot breakfast, not just bagels & pastries. Eggs, hot cakes, meats, oatmeal, grits, as well as bagels & pastries. It was good for a fast hot hotel breakfast. We would stay again, I just hope it's sooner than later! thanks for the nice stay, Best Western is now on my go to list! If I had to pick something, it would be the parking & the Tiki-Bar wasn't open on a Saturday afternoon! the weather wasn't good, so that's probably why.
Nice Water Front Hotel; heated pool was very nice. Good Breakfasts each Morning. Arrived with our reservation all booked up; so we had to settle for a lesser value location.
Convenient Shower would not drain Ants/small bugs in my room
We live in SW Florida but decided to go to Cocoa Beach for a mini vacation. The hotel is nice and was a great price on Kayak. Plus when we got there the hotel upgraded us for free to a mini suite with a view of the ocean! The beds were very comfortable and the hotel was very clean. Staff were friendly. We ordered room service for breakfast. It was average and right on time. The beach is amazing! The bathroom was small but still nice.
The hotel was very nice and clean. The location was wonderful, right on the ocean. The air conditioner was very load and woke my husband up each time it kicked in. Had to pay separate for parking- which is in my opinion ridiculous.
My room had an excellent view of the coastline, and access to the beach was very good with a foot and full shower on the way back to rinse off. The beach sand was pristine. The door to my room didn't close very well, and as a result, a maid left the door open after the room was serviced until I returned between 9 and 10 PM. Fortunately, I hadn't left anything valuable in the open and the room was undisturbed. However, this was troubling. The shower wall tile mortar was needing to be replaced as it was cracking.
Hotel restaurant was slow to seat, even with empty chairs. Seem as if there were no one in charge.
Ocean front and deck Didn't like being charged for parking in just a big parking lot $6.00 a day is too steep and being charged for the last day was wrong when we checked out on time
The view was spectacular! The beach is also surprisingly uncrowded. We loved the food and drinks at the Hilton's restaurant and patio bar. All of the other staff throughout the property (except at the front desk) were very friendly, gracious and welcoming. Seriously, once you get checked in, you feel very well taken care of. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. We'd read online that the front desk staff was rude. We were actually surprised to find that those reviews were absolutely true. These employees must go through some sort of special training to be so unhelpful, unfriendly and act like your checking in to the hotel is interrupting their day of scowling. They live in this paradise. Why so grumpy? Also, this hotel was the only one around that didn't have a balcony. When you see your view, you quickly become disappointed about this fact.
Water front. Liked that the BEST. Comfy beds The doors slam so loudly Morning and night !!
Great access to the beach. The brownies at the coffee shop were delicious. There were two, not one, but two, fire alarms in the middle of the night while we were there. When you are woken up at 4:00am, and again at 6:00, it makes for a long, unpleasant night.
Staff and view were amazing !! Somebody needs to sit in the bathtub in rm. 654 . See what we see ! You see PVC pipes under sink. The ceiling was chipped paint ! The drywall was the shottiest job I have ever seen ! Somebody okayed that job ! It was a renovated room already , if that is the case , the standards were Days inn , at hilton prices !!!! As you can tell not happy at all ! We love hilton hotels , but may have to reconsider this one !!
I realize it's south Florida, but seriously... The amount of ants inside your room and overall cleanliness of the room makes you look twice at your receipt. At least the bed sheets were clean. Ants, parking can be a challenge, getting your room cleaned for a new day.
The location is amazing. Close to the peir and beach. The main dislike is the 4pm checkin. The waffle maker wasn't working one morning but the other breakfast foods made up for it.
The closeness to the beach (100yds max), Cocoa Beach Pier is literally a 5 minute walk if that. Closeness to Port Canaveral. It is literally infested with ants. Ants all over the sink, toilet, tub. The air conditioning is old school, so it's incredibly loud and meh on cooling ability. Parking can be tough at times, especially at night. Did I mention the amount of ants already? Well it deserves to be mentioned again. Room cleaning is ridiculous. They come around once at around 8ish. Either you get your room cleaned and stocked with towels then or you are screwed for the rest of the day. They do not come back if they skipped your room earlier and seem to be done with work around 3.
Beds uncomfortable, noisy
Room was very clean and they let us check in 4 hours early so we could enjoy the day on the beach. Very accommodating staff. Breakfast was satisfying and plentiful.
Breakfast was nice The ocean breeze was pretty chilly one night, a jacuzzi would have been nice.
Location was great parking was super easy loved that a Starbucks is on property. Rooms were a decent size. Housekeeping was lacking we had to have the sheets changed at check in because they were inside out & ripped. Cleaning person came in second day & dropped off towels & made beds. Didn't take dirty towels ( were on floor) didn't refill toilet paper that was almost complete empty. I felt like if they weren't taking care of what you can see then they probably are not doing such a great job of over all cleaning.
When I arrived I was told they were overbooked! I had to go to another hotel next door that was not nearly as nice. What made me most angry was that I had called the hotel when I landed and told them I was still coming since it was 9:00pmEST. They said no problem we have your reservation. Then as soon as I walked into the lobby they said Ms. Perz?? There is a maintenance problem with your room so we have you staying at the comfort inn and suites next door. When I went to comfort inn they told me the Four Points accidentally overbooked . So #1 they LIED, #2 they knew this was going to be an issue an hour prior when I called them! They could have at least told me then!
The staff was very friendly and helpful.They went out of their way to be accommodating.
Had a mix up the first night we stayed before our cruise, and front desk attendant was very rude, the next morning the Front Desk Supervisor was VERY helpful and apologetic! I wish I could remember his name to call the manager of the hotel.
The only reason they got a 2 was because IF the rooms were clean, it would be a good hotel. And the staff seems nice. Particularly one if the cleaning crew guys whom was very friendly and warm. My room was dirty. Not to the immediate eye. There were food remains under the bed, couch and behind the dresser. There was a bottle of cleaner left behind one day on the dresser by my stuff. There was chalky food on the couch. And my key didnt work 2 separate days. I addressed the issues to the Sheraton, I got an email back stating they would address the issues. I got a call from the assistant manager from the Four Points to apologize. I will not stay there again nor recommend it.
Our room was nicely sized, neat, clean, and up to date, with the amenities that you would expect from Sheraton. We had a very nice room. The staff was professional and very nice and accommodating. No Issues at all. Not sure where some of the reviews are coming from, but we would definitely stay there again, and recommend it to others. It is connected to the Cocoa Beach Surf Company store (very nice) and a wonderful Restaurant/Grill with huge shark/fish tank, and a Starbucks! - no need to venture outside for coffee if it happens to be raining. Oh, and its next door to Ron Jon! But don't disregard the CBSC... The ONLY thing that would make this hotel better, would be if it were closer to, or on the beach. It's not a far walk at all, though, but might be too far for folks with small kids and carrying a ton of stuff. In that event, Alan Shepherd park is about a block away with parking ($10 per day) on the beach, or there are other free park(ing) options nearby as well.
Staff was very friendly and helpful at all times, good breakfast, free parking, room size and views o.k. air condition noisy and did not smell well
closeness to the ocean. Access path to beach right off the pool had and incident with anther guests child spitting on a sleeping freind poolside. management threatened to throw the sleeping person out when she was offended and wanted an apology.
We upgraded to an ocean view room and the view from the balcony was lovely. Hotel is a short walk from cocoa beach. The sand is lush and waves are big! 20 minute walk to the pier where the friendly staff serve fab cocktails with a great view out to sea and the beautiful long beach. We loved it here, just a shame we only stayed the 1 night! Dislikes - air con unit in the room was too loud. It sounded like a motorcycle engine so had to turn it off to sleep. Ended up propping the balcony door open with a chair. The complimentary breakfast is poor quality. Coffee and pastry was ok.
The breakfast was awesome! Loved it! Rooms were clean and comfy Would rather have an inside hallway than to go outside to the room.
we stayed here because it was the location of an event we were going to attend .... it was just an ok hotel for the money ... nothing wrong just nothing exceptional, For the top end dollar you pay for a room at double tree ... I expect more then one chocolate chip cookie and a beach front red roof inn with a bar. I was constantly being asked if i belonged to their double tree club... and treatment seems to depend on that ... maybe you get different service then but I for one dont want to belong to a club to get what i'm already paying for... those perks come from the revenue generated by all of our business. Just another place that wants to treat a select few like rock stars and the rest of us like paupers with the moneys all of us pay for .... sad new standard in customer service. most staffers seemed unhelpful and in capable of helping with the simplest tasks ... Might I borrow a pair if scissors? can you dirrect me to a non tourist shopping area.... and until I found a staff member that was originally from my home state, I may as well been talking to deaf staffers, makes me even more happy I booked with kayak and got the best deal possible.... like I said beach front red roof with bar.
The beach was wonderful!
We liked our waitress Cora and the location to the beach. The pool area was dirty with empty glasses and pool toys, there was no hot tub for adults to enjoy.
Comfortable, clean, helpful staff, well located, easy parking, good restaurant.
Loaction on beach front. Quality and range of food in the complimentary exuctive lounge was dissapointing
Convenient location to the beach, lots of parking, convenient to shopping and restaurants. Did not provide beach chairs for free or for a low price. Charging $10 for a lounge was too much.
What I liked best about Wakulla Suites was their location. Cocoa Beach is a nice coastal town to visit. This was very close to the beach. The room was not so clean.
Near to the Beach, Kennedy Space Center and the Port Canaveral. Our room was next to the street, and we would have liked to have any place outside the room to sit down and relaxed. Like a chair and a little table.
The staff were super friendly & helpful. The rooms are spacious & clean. They let us check in 4 hrs early & at last minute let us stay another night in the same room. They are currently undergoing renovations as the rooms are very dated. However, for the price, location, & being FREE FROM BUGS we'll continue to go back. The pool & pool area were clean along with the rest of the grounds. The atmosphere was perfect for what we were looking for. The beach is a short walk across a dead-end street. Perfect if you have a child that darts off on you, they won't make it to the water before you do! ;) We love this place & we'll be back in the future! Looking forward to seeing the renovations completed!! The carpet in the living room was old & dirty and the kitchen wasn't fully stocked with supplies. It did have enough things to make a small meal though. We also had an issue with one of the bedroom windows as it would not stay shut. The maintenance man did what he could to fix the problem but did not have the right parts. He was able to get it to stay shut during our 3 day stay though.
Great location, heated swimming pool a strong plus. No TV in any bedrooms
Lots of things wrong in my room
That there were 2 bedrooms and a kitchen area. I would take the name "resort" out of the title. It certainly wasn't a Resort, more of a motel, but having 2 bedrooms (especially with three young children) offset the dated appearance of the facility.
Most everything, I stayed in a suite and love it.
I had a very nice stay and would book again The rooms were a little dated ,needed new furniture, but not bad enough that I would not return.
Close to ocean, a lot of space in room, excelent pool, beautiful garden, large living- room
The rooms were like apartments and close to restaurants. The scenery around the hotel was very nice. Our trunk of a locked car was broken into.
Large, comfortable suites with complete kitchen, located close to the beach and to Kennedy Space Center.
Hotel staff was very accomodating amd the flora is AMAZING! The big grill we tried to use doesnt work and the AC didnt get cool enough to be comfortable at night. Definitely wouldnt stay here during the warmer months!...til they fix AC issues..which may never happen.
I have never stayed in a more beautiful hotel in my life! My stay at the Inn at Cocoa Beach was outstanding! It was clean and the staff was friendly the facility was immaculate and impeccable. the rooms were very quaint and cozy! It truly felt like a home away from home! I have recommended it to all my friends and family and would love to come back again in the future! I wish there was a mini fridge in the room. It would be nice to put my own sodas and water or leftovers from a restaurant in the fridge. A microwave would be nice too.
Breakfast, location, people, view, large clean room No frig or safe in the room, not deal breakers, I'll stay here again when I'm in the area.
Everything. Most relaxing place to stay in Cocoa Beach. Fifth time staying here and wouldn't stay anywhere else as long as the have a room available.
An unexpeted surprise. First time staying at this hotel, beautiful beach front. We could certainly tell that someone is taking care of this place too, although parts of it are a bit dated, our room/building was completely remodeled and CLEAN, one of the pools was brand new and the grounds and room was very clean. We've stayed at 3 other beachfront hotels in the past few years and this by far was the best of them all for value, location and cleanlliness. The front entrance of the hotel is a bit misleading, meaning it's much better that it looks from the road. I was totally impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place.
We liked that the hotel was centrally located from restaurants, shops, Port Canaveral and even a good distance from Kennedy Space Center The description and photos of the hotel were misleading. Their definition of queen-size beds was in reality a double bed. The mattresses were comfortable, but the bed frame was wobbly so if you move the whole bed shakes. The room was very small but had been refurbished, so the bathroom was the nicest in terms of decor. The floors felt like plywood, so when you walk it sounds like we're stomping. Our room was not in the oceanfront condos, so we didn't get a nice view (ours was the parking lot and the raised tennis court). Our room was a step below a motel room, which is saying something. It wasn't worth the price and we will not return to this location.
good rates rooms new paint,foors&furniture only one entrance to pool the other two looked.no coffee unless you walked to front office.ice there also. nite time activity high possible Brothel & drug busness in rear rooms .
It was conveniently located. Yes, the housekeeper(LaDonna)was rude, inconsiderate, and pushy. When I was taking a nap and she came to do the room, I shouted out I don't want service loud enough for her to know to go away and she kept pounding on the door for me to answer it. When I finally couldn't take it anymore, I got up and answered it-only for her to tell me I needed to sign her sheet saying I didn't want the maid service. She could have finished her rounds and come back for that-IF she absolutely had to have that or they could have left us a card to sign and leave out so we didn't have to be disturbed.It was VERY aggravating.
Beach location, cleanliness and very comfortable. Front desk attendant at check in, the rest of the staff were very kind and helpful.
Staff was great.Very affordable. Clean room. Rooms need remodeled.
Very friendly staff Room was clean but there was a cockroach on my clothes in the morning There were no chairs to sit on except a few around the pool Did not feel cozy
Nothing had to wait a while to check in only to have a roach crawl across the floor Everything had to stay at a competitor same night at 1130 pm with a crying baby
Located near resturants and necessity shopping Too basic
Except the location. I did not like one single thing. Too few to name.
The location of the hotel is good, close to the beach, restaurants, center of Cocoa Beach. The garden and swimming pool look quite good. Extremely unclean, bug in the room. They changed the room for the second night and it was cleaner. Motel6 has a client satisfaction hotline, I did not call to place a complaint, allthough I should have. The only reason to stay there is the price.
The beds were clean & comfortable. Swimming pool was clean but not heated. Complimentary mmorning coffee was welcome. Most of the plastic sunbeds around the pool were broken. Steps and walkways to our upstairs room are badly cracked and need maintenance. Overall appearance was shabby.
Desk clerk on check in was very nice. bugs, kind of dirty room, stale smell, mold smell, burn holes in bedspreads, no coffee maker, large gap around door let in hot air & bugs
Ease of check in and change of reservation due to shuttle reschedule. Good parking availability on the main strip. Very close to beach and attractions. Good sized room for 2 of us with double beds. Clean linen etc. All scoring points would have been excellent if the bad points had not been present The outside walkways could do with regular cleaning up of cigarette butts carelessly discarded. The cleaning of the room. The shower control was loose and pulled from the housing when pulled to switch on
a It was not directly on the beach. If I select the highest star and priced hotel to go to the beach I would want the hotel to be directly on the beach not to have to lug all my stuff through a couple parking lot to even reach the beach
Hotel was everything to be expected from a Courtyard by Marriot. Being a beach location it is to be expected that the rooms have an odor to them. But it was not a major issue as we spent most of our time in the ocean.
Marriott properties and always good not enough parking
Great location and excellent spacious room. I wish there had a breakfast included.
Was fairly close to beach access walkway. I do not like the staff walking around the front desk, standing so close and then giving gestures and directions to the elevators. This ccorporate gibberish for touchy feely needs to stop, it is offensive.
Meeting people and spending time with family. Lunch food was mediocre at best. Selections were limited and generic buffet style.
It was the nicest courtyard we have seen. The location is awesome! Although the staff was nice, 2 out of 3 seemed disengaged, especially the Starbucks employees, I tried to check out and I don't think she looked at me once.
Staff No
there was a marathon and the room I booked was not available. The staff did their best to accommodate our needs but we did not get what we paid for.
Very clean. Our whirlpool in our suite didn't work, but when I complained, the only option they gave us was free breakfast.
Great location, Beautiful lobby. Easy access to beach.
The hotel was modern and very clean. The staff were polite and very helpful. Parking was limited and we had a hard tome finding a spot to park.
The room was very comfortable, I like the paddle fan and the amenities. Great pool.
Convenient to the KSC If it were a rainy day I'd have had a real problem with the lack of parking spots that somehow cost an additional $6.... Seriously? $6 for parking? Get a lot of walk ins do ya?
The king suite was very comfortable and the tub was huge (basically next to bed)! The products used in the rooms were so wonderful, I am buying some for personal use online! Two free drinks at Tiki Bar provided when room was not ready (30 minutes after check-in time). For guests staying at the hotel, my husband and I thought it was silly that we had to pay for parking, although affordable ($6). There is a 'Barnie's Coffee Shop' in the lobby, which was intriguing in comparison to standard room coffee; however, when I went to get "specialty" coffee, it was the same coffee in the room AND I was CHARGED for it ($2+)!
Shaun at the Tiki Bar was great. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of.
Proximity to the port for cruise line The pavers, could hear suitcases and cleaning carts click clack across the pavers.
Great location to the cruise terminals. Clean and updated room.
Our room had broken lamp, broken "select comfort" bed, generally not clean to the level you would expect for a $200/night hotel. Long hair(s) in multiple places in room (including nicely folded bath towels - yuck). Toilet bowl had shavings from someone who was not in my family (double yuck). Doors on rooms had security brackets in door jam near lock to prevent door from being pried open (not a good sign). Common areas beat up and/or dirty. General disappointment basing my decision to stay here on the reviews on Kayak. Pool was nice though.
The beds and linens were awesome. Bed was super comfortable. Very nice atmosphere at the pool bar. I was dissspointed there was no morning breakfast included in the fee. Continental breakfast is pretty standard anymore at a hotel of this caliber.
Lovely grounds but needs more attendants to clean up after guests pool was beautiful not too cold room appeared clean Jacuzzi had bad smell pool towels were a 45 minute wait bed not good maybe sleep number is not for us carpet was moldy and smelt of feet Next time I would go for a newer property and pay more Maybe it was the timing of being Christmas Day maybe they only had a skeleton crew? Either way it was not a good experience
We had a group of thirteen going on a cruise out of port canaveral and stayed here the night before. The front desk staff was great. We had a smooth check in and they made the arrangements to get us to the ship in the morning. Rooms were clean. Pool was nice. Perfect for what we needed. We would stay here again.
The pool is awesome.
Great heated pool that the kids loved even during the cooler days. We had, what I thought were pretty large rooms. I booked a double with 2 adults and 3 kids. We fit and slept just fine. Many things to do in the area both kid and adult friendly. I sat at the pool side bar while the kiddos swam all day! Charged extra fees for daily parking, resort fee, internet fee. So the"great rate" turned out to be about average for the area. I had a couple days where nobody touched up room for us. No coffee refills, empty trash, etc.
The location to the port is great. The bed felt like bricks. Outdated decor. Odd stains on bed skirt. Too many smoking right outside the door. The smell was horrible. A short overnight stay the room was tolerable. Definitely wouldn't stay longer. The walk to get ice wasn't safe.
Great location - inexpensive. Planned and stayed only for 1 night. It's pretty ghetto. Got what we paid for.
Large suite with good view and friendly service
Proximity to the beach! Dirt build up in corners of bathroom floor, no mini fridge in room, breakfast was tasteless and sad, management was sloppy (as viewed in the lobby), check in clerk was not warm and inviting and looked tired and disheveled.
Competitive rate, good cruise & park deal, good location, good breakfast, very nice facility. Very nice staff . no complaints
Absolutely adored the quaint charm of this throwback. Perfect place for a beach getaway and to enjoy Florida the way it was before high rise hotels and Disney became how Floridian tourism does business. Family run and the staff is friendly and helpful. Uncomfortable beds.
Helpful staff, clean room. Close proximity to the beach and dining and bars. The breakfast had much to be desired. Would have liked to see a better assortment of food items.
Good value, friendly staff, fun location for family, comfortable clean beds, nice selection for included breakfast. Have stayed many years ago, and again last week with my 6yr old daughter. Perfect for people going on a cruise. Only minutes away. Great restaurants walking distance. Its perfect for us. And again, the staff was/is very kind.. really nothing to complain about, sorry.
Very close to the Pier and of course the beach. Clean, comfortable rooms. Definitely worth the money
The distance to the beach was great! Within walking distance and lots of available parking. The room never got cold - A.C. seemed to not be working properly. This made for a very uncomfortable stay.
This is my 4th hotel in Cocoa Beach. While the room was a bit cramped (two queens, not a suite), it was clean, the bed and pillows were comfy, and the location was great for my plans. Much better than the other 3 I tried within the same price range.
The balcony Bugs throughout the room. Bathroom , shower. Table an chairs. I have pictures if you want them
This is not a luxury hotel. Keeping that in mind it was perfect. Staff was friendly, breakfast was plentiful, and pool was warm. Also, it's right behind the pier. Super quick beach access.
Location was nice. AC blows the curtain up. AC unit leaked water and the floor was quite wet by the time we left. Sink faucet also leaked around the base. No bagels on the breakfast.
The close proximity to the Cocoa Beach Pier and the prompt response by the staff when we realized the television was not working. The pool should be open longer. Carpeting was somewhat worn.
Cocoa Beach was literally in walking distance behind the hotel. The hotel pool was very nice. Quiet so we weren't disturbed while we got ready to drive back home. The doors you could tell had obvious water damage that kind of made the room look bad.
Nice rooms
The hotel was old, but clean. The beds were comfortable and a great location to get to the beach.
The location was wonderful and the staff friendly. Very quaint. Rooms are a bit snug.
You will feel like family here. I had a two bedroom suite it was very spacious clean and up to date. I would go back and recommend this place to anyone.
Outstanding location! Very nice beachfront deck. Well-decorated room--flat-screen, fridge, microwave, nice shower tile, etc. Very clean. Friendly service. Typical hotel scent. AC/heater worked fine, but could use a remote control.
I really liked how close to the beach it was! It's really close to resturants. For the money it's worth it because honestly how much time do you really spend at the hotel on vacation? The staff was great and helpful! Daniel was funny and would keep things at the desk for me when I went to the beach! The hotel it's self needs updating new carpets and such but it's over all not that bad!
staff oooooooold hotel. really old. like wtf thats old.
Price and location for the family was great Facilities and staff were great

The New Castle County Community Partnership (NCCCP) conducts community education
campaigns, provides afterschool programs for youth, and supports other activities
developed by neighborhood coalitions in and around New Castle County. The Too Smart
To Start team in New Castle County plans to raise awareness about the harms of underage
alcohol use among 9- to 13-year-olds, their parents, and the larger community through
a campaign of direct education and interactive activities. With assistance from
the faculty and staff of two local schools, Too Smart To Start will be incorporated
into the schools' health education programs. The schools will present the information
through student assemblies and monthly classroom activities. In addition, students
will learn about the media and their influence and will be creating media messages.
New Castle County's team will communicate regularly with parents through a series
of newsletters and information packets that include information about the harms
of underage alcohol use and on the ways in which parents can reduce their children's
risk of using alcohol by talking with them. To promote parent-child interactions,
the team will create a communication activity that children can only complete with
their parents' participation. A poster, commercial, or rap contest will be held
based on input from 9- to 13-year-olds and their parents. Older students and community
organizations will judge the entries, and the winners will be aired on the school
TV station and in the local media. Finally, the team plans to distribute underage
alcohol use prevention materials at other schools and host a community health fair
to be planned with the input of the target audiences.

The 33,000-square-foot supermarket is located in the Meadow Plaza shopping center south of West Las Positas Boulevard in the store once occupied by Nob Hill, which was closed three years ago. Merchants in Meadow Plaza, which adjoins the Santa Rita Square Center, have been waiting anxiously for a new large anchor grocer to move in to help revitalize their businesses.
Alton Wheeler, manager. of the Walmart Neighborhood Center, said those retailers will be among city, civic and business leaders invited to his opening day party.
"We'll have a lot of festivities and special offers," he said.
A walk-through of the new market showed the shelves neatly stacked with a variety of merchandise typically found in a major supermarket. Facing the store, the general merchandising section is on the right, featuring health and beauty products, paper towels and much more. Fresh produce and packaged goods are on the left with food in cooling units and frozen goods in the center. Meat, fish and bakery goods are along the back aisle of the store.
Walmart has revamped the Nob Hill store with wider aisles, new entry and exit doors, high white-painted ceilings with brilliant lighting and a pharmacy. Check-out stands line the front of the store with some set up for self-checkout and computer stations that keep track of inventory as well as customer suggestions.
"We want to listen to our customers and have them tell us what they're looking for and what they need," Wheeler said. "Every Walmart market has the ability to tailor its merchandise and service to meet what customers want."
That includes a coffee bar, which Wheeler's store doesn't have. If enough shoppers and commuters stopping at the store on their way to work want coffee and a donut, Wheeler said he'll put the service in.
Wheeler has hired 85 employees (called associates at Walmart) and they're all now at work in the store, completing training programs, stacking shelves and price-coding incoming jars of baby food and canned foods and other products in a maze of boxes vendors have been delivering.
Overhead, construction crews have finished installing and adjusting new ceiling lights and crossbars for holding information signs.
The Walmart store opening was delayed for more than a year by protests before the Pleasanton Planning Commission and City Council over allowing Walmart to add one of its Neighborhood Markets here. Former Councilman Matt Sullivan and union representatives opposed Walmart's bid, claiming that Walmart pays its employees "below scale" wages and benefits and that, as a non-union grocer, it could undercut other grocery stores in the way it prices merchandise.
But because Walmart was taking over an old supermarket that already had the city's approval, it was given an operating permit based on that prior approval and property use.

SAN ANTONIO (DTN) -- American Farm Bureau members are concerned about the drive in private industry for "Big Data" and what such data aggregation efforts mean for personal information.
Delegates to the group's annual convention adopted new policy this week, stating that such information should remain property of the farmer and warrants protection. Members believe companies have an obligation to fully disclose how they use data, compensate farmers when information is shared with third parties and prevent such information from being subject to federal Freedom of Information Act requests. Also, farmers should have the right to ask for their data back from a private company.
One Farm Bureau state president told DTN that farmers have concerns over various issues, such as how they are measured against others on fertilizer use, for instance. Moreover, Farm Bureau members became more concerned about data collection and sharing after EPA gave personal information about livestock feeding operations to environmental groups last year.

Longview's Laurent Johnson + Travin Howard Spearhead Defense's Dismantling of Rowlett, 46-21
DALLAS — Longview's 4-2-5 defense allows the Lobos to put as many athletic playmakers on the back end of the field as possible. Saturday against Rowlett, they showed why that approach works so well.
Senior safeties Laurent Johnson and Travin Howard terrorized Rowlett, accounting for five of the Lobos' six takeaways and two defensive touchdowns to fuel a 46-21 Class 5A Division II Region II bi-district playoff win at John E. Kincaide Stadium.
Johnson finished with a game-high 18 tackles, one forced a fumble, an interception, and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned 18 yards for a touchdown off an Omar French strip sack. That touchdown gave Longview a 36-14 lead with 4:31 remaining in the third quarter. Longview led by at least three scores the rest of the game.
Howard, who entered the game with a team-leading five interceptions, picked off two more, the first of which he returned 43 yards for a 14-7 advantage less than 20 seconds into the second quarter. Howard, who had seven tackles Saturday, has three interception return touchdowns and two punt return scores this season.
"Just great defensive effort," said Longview head coach John King. "I thought they settled down after the first quarter when we switched our scheme from a four-man to a three-man line. We just got an extra guy in the throwing lanes and put a little more pressure on them with some different blitzes. Both safeties, Laurent and Travin Howard, had a heck of a game. Just making plays after plays. It happens every week. I think that's a combination of great athletic ability, football awareness, and being coached the right way."
Longview (10-1) faces McKinney Boyd (7-4) in a 5A D-II Region II area playoff at 4 p.m. Saturday in Dallas at Lake Highlands' Wildcat-Ram Stadium. Boyd beat Richardson Pearce 24-9 in the first round.
Johnson and Howard led a defensive unit that held the spread-schemed Eagles (4-7) to 48 yards on 29 rushes. Rowlett sophomore quarterback Logan Bonner completed 26 of 37 passes for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Senior defensive line standout Zaycoven Henderson had two tackles for loss and frequently disrupted Rowlett's offensive front. Junior linebacker Jaylon Jackson recorded 13 tackles, recovered a fumble, and had a couple of big hits, while senior end DeRodrick Alexander had one sack and two tackles for loss.
Longview's defense came through in a game in which the Lobo running game did not perform to King's standards. Rowlett defensive linemen Cedric Johnson and Charles Omenihu combined for four tackles for loss, while Johnson recovered a fumble and Omenihu notched a sack.
Longview finished with 156 yards on 36 rushes.
"I'm highly disappointed in the way we ran the football," King said. "We knew we were going to have some different looks that were gonna give us trouble. We knew they were gonna load the box and get an extra guy. They have a good scheme and did a great job with it. We didn't do as good of a job as I hoped we could do. I felt like coming in we might be a little better at that. We'll have to play better. We're gonna see it again. No. 1 hopefully we have a better plan, and No. 2 I hope our kids do a better job of picking it up."
Junior JaMycal Hasty ran 22 times for 96 yards and a touchdown, a five-yarder halfway through the first quarter for the game's first score.
Junior quarterback Dezmond Chumley played well despite facing frequent pressure and getting a little banged up early in the contest. Chumley completed 11 of 18 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns — a 27-yarder to senior Jordan Whitaker, a 66-yard to senior Dorian Leonard, and a 22-yarder to senior Stephon Anthony. The 66-yard strike to the Texas-bound Leonard helped the Lobos separate entering halftime as it gave Longview a 28-14 lead with 1:02 left in the second.
"He threw the ball with pressure on him and made some key throws. Some of them were third-and-longs and fourth-and-longs that he made key throws on to extend drives and get points. I was real proud of how he played, particularly after coming out of the game early. He got hit and got bruised up a little bit, but he came back in and made some key throws."
Leonard led the Lobos with four catches for 88 yards. Anthony caught three passes for 54 yards.
Rowlett's Tyler Hogan caught a game-high 10 passes for 114 yards. His 22-yard scoring reception with 3:44 left marked the game's final touchdown. Fellow receiver Andrew Harrison caught seven passes for 75 yards, including a 22-yard catch-and-run touchdown that tied the game 7-7 late in the first.
Howard's 43-yard pick-six came two minutes later and Longview never trailed again. Rowlett cut its deficit to 21-14 on Anthony Wagner's two-yard touchdown with 2:49 until halftime, but the Lobos answered with the home-run ball to Leonard.
