Changes to law may prevent costly referendum
Changes to a controversial labor law may stop an upcoming referendum.
At an Anchorage Assembly labor subcommittee meeting Tuesday, Assemblywoman Jennifer Johnston presented 29 pages of amendments to AO-37, the law which put limits on unions' abilities to negotiate.
Johnston's changes would stop the law from going to a vote of the people, but fellow Assemblyman Dick Traini said he'd rather repeal the bill completely.
"AO-37 was a disaster from the moment is came to the Assembly floor. And the whole process, with some people denied the opportunity to testify, was pathetic. I'm more inclined to just kill it off and start over again," Traini said.
Traini said he plans to propose the repeal at next Tuesday's Assembly meeting. It will then be up for public comment two weeks later. AO-37 is currently on the books, but suspended pending the outcome of the referendum.
Traini said if the measure goes to a referendum, the election could cost voters more than $400,000.

Bonn, Germany (SPX) Oct 21, 2010
The German Aerospace Center has become a member of the International Charter 'Space and Major Disasters'. At an event in Paris to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its founding, Johann-Dietrich Worner, Chairman of the DLR Executive Board, signed the charter, marking DLR's accession.
With this signing, DLR has become the 11th space agency to pledge its expertise and resources, particularly those associated with global monitoring, to address natural disasters and major accidents.
DLR can make important contributions
With its TerraSAR-X synthetic aperture radar satellite, Germany has a highly capable Earth observation system, which is able to provide valuable mapping data during natural disasters and accidents.
"We are convinced that TerraSAR-X will make an important contribution towards the aims and objectives of the charter," said Prof. Worner, addressing representatives of other signatories to the charter.
In the first instance, the core contribution DLR can make is through the radar imaging data provided by its TerraSAR-X satellite. "TerraSAR-X supplies detailed images very rapidly and is able to acquire those radar images irrespective of cloud cover or time of day. It is therefore very useful for incidents such as severe flooding," explained Stefan Voigt, Coordinator of the DLR Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (Zentrum fur Satellitengestutzte Kriseninformation; ZKI), speaking at a meeting held during the event.
A great deal of experience in Germany
The DLR Space Agency has also promoted the development of technical capabilities in this sector, under the auspices of the 'DeSecure' project.
In addition, the German Federal Government, through its Ministry of Economics and Technology (Bundesministerium fur Wirtschaft und Technologie; BMWi), supports the Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response programme (UN-SPIDER) operated by the United Nations. All these activities share a common objective, namely the improvement of the worldwide availability and use of satellite information for emergency response and crisis resolution.
No newcomer to the charter
About the charter
Participation is voluntary and is based on the principle that all members will incorporate their systems to the best of their abilities within the mechanism of the charter. At present, the charter has 10 full members, including the European Space Agency, ESA, the French space agency, CNES, the Canadian Space Agency, CSA, the Indian Space Research Organisation, ISRO, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, and two American organisations, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, and the United States Geological Survey, USGS.
Since it was founded, the charter has been invoked 280 times; meaning that it has been possible to quickly supply maps derived from satellite imagery. Examples include the flooding of the River Elbe in 2002, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004 and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010.

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product
|FDA Comment Number :

|Mrs. Jacquie Stratton
|Date & Time:

|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
|B. If it could, would it be able to do so as practical matter and, if so, how?
|It seems this could be handled in thae same manner as sales of liquor and tabacco. both admittedly have abuses and are hard to actually requlate
| A. Assuming it is legal to market the same active ingredient in both a prescription and OTC product, may the different products be legally sold in the same package?
|Tabacco and alcohol are sold this way- so yes

I thought that homeopathy—similia, etc.—had done away with both of them.
But he was furious and sulphurous, and that is why I have changed to homeopathy.
If my lecture on "First Principles in homeopathy" is ever to be delivered, it must be delivered elsewhere.
As a member of the College of Physicians I've felt that way about homeopathy and the faith-cure.
A further difficulty arose over the establishment of a Department of homeopathy, which had long been the subject of agitation.
homeopathy taught her that in the higher attenuations of its drugs, "matter is rarefied to its fatal essence, mortal mind."
These two cases of ordinary vaccination and homeopathy are typical of all the rest.
That it (homeopathy) is no more worthy of such introduction than other kindred methods of practice as closely allied to quackery.
It is by my feelings as to thee and Una, more than on my own account, that I find I am a true believer in homeopathy.
These headings show a bias against homeopathy which is common in some classifications.
homeopathy ho·me·op·a·thy (hō'mē-ŏp'ə-thē)
A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy persons similar to those of the disease.
A system of treating disease in which small doses of certain substances are administered; in large doses, given to a healthy person, these substances would produce the symptoms of the disease. The principles of homeopathy do not enjoy widespread acceptance in the medical community.

It will start to matter, someday when you have billions of rows, such that you start to regularly have more than 11 rows with the same exact tags and timestamp.

In theory, it was simple. An older Compaq Proliant 1600R server with a Compaq SmartArray 221 RAID controller destined to be upgraded from Win2K/Exchange2K to Win2K3/Exchange2K3. Another Exchange server was brought up, mailboxes were moved, and we were ready to rebuild the original box. Oh, and we needed to expand the array on the SmartArray to pull the hotspare and make it an array member since we needed the space. Should be a quickie. Three hours later, Windows 2003 is finally installing.
The problem? HP does not provide SmartStart CDs as downloadable ISOs, nor do they provide a boot CD or floppy that will recognize and configure a SmartArray 221 controller. ACUXE doesn't support the 221, and ACU v1.20A and B are boot floppies, but won't recognize the 221. We had a SmartStart CD, v.6.30, but it doesn't support the Proliant 1600 server. ACU v2.00+ is a Windows executable only, and the version installed on the existing Windows installation was v2.90. When we attempted to reconfigure the array with that utility, it errored with a "This controller doesn't have battery backup, so you can't make this change" dialog. Forget about the chicken and the egg, we're into multiple dimensions of Denver omlette.
Of course, this all happens between 10pm and 1am, so the lack of sleep is adding to the frustration. Neither of which can even approach the sheer madness caused by attempting to navigate HPs support site for any useful information whatsoever. Compaq^H^H^H^H^HHP engineered their servers and certain components -- such as this RAID controller -- to require software intervention to accomplish tasks that would normally be handled in the BIOS or in firmware. 99% of all RAID controllers have a hotkey configuration utility available at POST, and Compaq's more recent RAID controllers have this feature. The fact that the older controllers do not is a major problem for folks trying to work with that hardware, especially if they've misplaced the SmartStart CD and had any problems with the server that impacted the array controller.
So, how did we fix this? Compaq's ACU v2.80 doesn't have the same error checks that are found in v2.90. Note that this information does not exist in any form on HP's site. It was by pure frustration that we even tried backing off a version to v2.80. That version actually let us reconfigure the array while running under the OS installed on the array. Needless to say, Windows lost it's mind immediately following the reconfiguration, but we had indeed rebuilt the array, and could now install Windows 2003.
Hey, HP. Provide SmartStart CDs as ISO images. Maybe not the most recent version if you really want to sell it for $21.95, but at least the legacy versions. If we had a SmartStart CD v5.50, or access to an ISO, I'd be asleep now.

But, for some reason, this week, I received tons of compliments on it...to the point of people saying it was one of their favorite outfits of mine. The only different was the way I styled it. I wore it with these Chico's Travelers capris, ballet flats, and a long necklace from VERSONA, and a $2 clearance-price bracelet from KOHLS.
In the past, I have worn it with cotton capris, black jeans, and a black skirt. Not a word was said....but today, it seemed to work. Just a lesson to me of the difference styling does make and I shouldn't really give up on a garment. I was going to get rid of the blouse, but now, I think I will keep it around!
Have a great Friday everyone...and make sure you enter the contest from yesterday's post to win the fun, versatile necklace above!

Texas Board of County and District Road Indebtedness:
An Inventory of County and District Road Reports at the Texas State Archives, [192-]-1973 (bulk 1932-1942)
Agency History
The Texas Board of County and District Road Indebtedness was created by the 42nd Legislature in 1932 to repay Texas counties and districts for roads that had been built with funds from bonds or other debts issued by local authorities and that had been taken into the state's designated highway system. The board had no staff and was composed of three ex-officio members: the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the State Treasurer, and the engineer-director of administration of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. The 64th Legislature in 1975 vetoed all appropriation requests for the board. All board functions were transferred to the Fiscal Agency of the Treasury Department.
Scope and Contents of the Records
Records are Texas county and district road reports containing county commissioners' court minutes (copies), transcripts of proceedings of county commissioners' court meetings (copies), itemized statements of bond funds spent on roads, and an information questionnaire. Materials date from the early 1920s through 1973, with the bulk dating from 1932 to 1942. These reports represent data and information gathered by county officials, by the chairman of the State Highway Commission, and by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts. These reports served to aid the Texas Board of County and District Road Indebtedness in determining the amount of money for which a county was eligible under the provisions of the County and Road District Highway Fund. The information questionnaire provides a county map showing state highways and road districts, general county information, a summary of county claims for eligible obligations, county expenditures on state highways, and details of bond issues.

Australia's top gold miner, Newcrest Mining, raised its offer for local rival Lihir Gold to $9.5 billion, winning the support of its target to create the world's 4th-largest listed gold miner.
The new cash and share offer, Newcrest's third bid, values Lihir at $4.03 a share based on Newcrest's last trade, a small increase on the last offer that Lihir rejected last month and a 10 per cent premium to Lihir's close on Monday.
Shares in Lihir jumped 17¢, or 4.63 per cent to $3.84 by 1105 AEST while Newcrest fell 84¢, or 2.6 per cent, to $31.22.
Lihir's board said the merger made sense strategically and it was now happy with the price.
"We are therefore pleased to have secured an improved financial proposal that we can recommend to our shareholders," Lihir chairman Ross Garnaut said in a statement.
Lihir shareholders will receive one Newcrest share for every 8.43 shares they own, plus $0.225 cash a share, less any Lihir dividend declared or paid for the half-year ending June 30. It is flexible on the mix of cash and shares they can choose.
"The combined organisation will be Asia-Pacific's leading gold producer with a standout portfolio of long-life, high margin, tier-one gold assets," Newcrest Chairman Don Mercer said in a statement.
In the wake of a plan by the Australian government to slap miners with a 40 per cent super profits tax, the move on Lihir makes more sense than ever for Newcrest as Lihir's main mine is in Papua New Guinea, which will not be touched by the new tax.
It also gives Newcrest a growth platform in West Africa, where Lihir recently acquired mines and acreage in Ivory Coast.
Top global gold miners Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining and AngloGold Ashanti are seen as potential spoilers of the deal, potentially going after Newcrest or Lihir.
Analysts, however, have said their chances of success were limited as they would be hard pressed to be able to pay more than $9 billion in cash, and Australian shareholders were unlikely to want foreign scrip.
Lihir directors have unanimously recommended shareholders vote in favour of the scheme of arrangement in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert's opinion that the scheme is in the best interests of Lihir shareholders.
Lihir shareholders will own between 35.5 per cent and 36.8 per cent of the combined organisation, depending on what mix of cash and shares shareholders choose to receive.
Under the merger implementation agreement, Lihir retained the right to continue existing discussions with third parties until June 8.
Grant Samuel has been appointed to prepare the independent expert's report, which will include consideration of the possible effect of the proposes resources tax announced by the federal government on Sunday.
Newcrest is being advised by Lazard, Merrill Lynch and Allens Arthur Robinson.
Lihir is being advised by Greenhill Caliburn, Macquarie Capital Advisers Limited and Blake Dawson.

Prague has one of the greatest nightlife scenes in the world. It has a rich and varied nightlife, that can offer the right type of entertainment to almost anyone. While pubs and restaurants are typically closed by midnight, many bars and clubs remain open and hopping until early morning hours.
You can dance all night at one of Prague's many discos and music clubs, have a cocktail or beer at a bar, and enjoy live music of all kinds.
Bars and Clubs
There's something for everyone among the numerous pubs and bars in Prague. From whiskey bars to wine tastings, hernas to yuppie lounges, find your special spot and get out there and experience the Prague nightlife.
Bombay Bar & Club: Bombay Bar is a lively music bar, just a short walk from the Old Town Square along popular Dlouha street. Bombay Bar is a fairly large venue with a good party atmosphere. It attracts a large international crowd, and at weekends this can make it one of the busiest bars in Prague.
Aloha Bar and Club: Aloha Bar & Club is one of Prague's hidden gems. Tucked away in the side streets of the Old Town, Aloha is not easy to stumble across, yet is only 3 minutes walk from the Old Town Square. Aloha attracts a Czech and International crowd. At weekends and on special nights, a DJ leads the party mood with a selection of 80s/90s/00s/10s tunes.
Duplex Restaurant & Club: Duplex Restaurant & Club boasts a terrific position atop a high building in the centre of Wenceslas Square in Prague. The Duplex Restaurant is open all day, and makes for an impressive destination for lunch or dinner in a unique location.
Lavka Bar and Club: On cold winter nights, Lavka Bar & Club is a good spot for a drink and a dance. But on a hot summer's evening, Lavka makes for one of the best nights out in Prague. Lavka sits right on the banks of the River Vltava, next to Charles Bridge. This supreme location attracts a lively tourist-heavy crowd, although many Czechs also view this as good club to party the night away in.
Roxy Club: Roxy is a popular dance club on Dlouha street, close to the Old Town Square. It is one of Prague's oldest and best-known clubs, and over the years has attracted big name DJ's. The music at Roxy spans all genres of dance, but tends to be more hard-core than at many of the clubs in Prague. Drum 'n' Bass, Jungle and Techno often feature here.

Todd Gift to Ransom Center
Dr. William B. Todd and his recently deceased wife, Dr. Ann Bowden, have given the Ransom Center three important collections of books from their library, including a prize binding collection, a Sir Walter Scott collection, and a James Boswell collection. The collections are a precious addition to the Ransom Center, as well as a symbol of the culmination of interests and influence of two esteemed scholars, each with ties to the Center. Dr. Todd is the Mildred Caldwell and Baine Perkins Kerr Centennial Chair Emeritus in English History and Culture at The University of Texas at Austin, while Dr. Bowden served the Austin Public Libraries for over twenty years and, prior to that, was the first librarian of the Ransom Center when it opened in 1957. Both Todd and Bowden worked as researchers at the Ransom Center and were instrumental in helping the Center acquire the Gutenberg Bible in 1978. The couple's scholarship in British literature and their interest in rare books led to their amassing an impressive collection of material, from which all scholars will now benefit.

Head coach: Mike Smith
(Reuters) - Following are brief profiles of the 16 teams in the National Football Conference (NFC) ahead of the 2013 National Football League (NFL) season:
- -
Head coach: Mike Smith
2012 record: 13-3 (Won the NFC South after starting the season 8-0 before losing 28-24 to the San Francisco 49ers in second round of the playoffs)
Blessed with a well-oiled passing attack effectively orchestrated by quarterback Matt Ryan, the Falcons have high hopes of going deeper into the postseason after acquiring three-time Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson in March. Once again, though, their defense needs to step up.
- -
Head coach: Bruce Arians
2012 record: 5-11 (Finished fourth in the NFC West)
Larry Fitzgerald is one of the NFL's top wide receivers and the Cardinals will hope his unique talents can be fully exploited by new quarterback Carson Palmer, an off-season trade from the Oakland Raiders. Under new coach Arians, Arizona can be expected to focus on an aggressive passing game.
- -
Head coach: Ron Rivera
2012 record: 7-9 (A one-game improvement over their 6-10 finish in 2011, when Cam Newton had one of the best rookie seasons for a quarterback)
Early-season games with the Seattle Seahawks, New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings could determine Panthers' fortunes. Much will again be expected of the talented Newton and from a defense that rated 10th in the league last season in yards allowed.
- -
Head coach: Marc Trestman
2012 record: 10-6 (Despite making a strong start to the season, the Bears became the first team to miss the playoffs after starting out 7-1 since the 1996 Washington Redskins)
Under new coach Trestman, brought in after Lovie Smith was fired in December, the Bears will look to add a much improved offense to their renowned defense. Quarterback Jay Cutler will continue to call the shots and much is expected from former Giants tight end Martellus Bennett, an off-season signing.
- -
Head coach: Jason Garrett
2012 record: 8-8 (Matched their win total from 2011, but missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season after losing their final game, to the Washington Redskins)
Quarterback Tony Romo, retained on a lucrative six-year contract extension, should keep Dallas in the NFC East chase and a sub-par defense should improve under new coordinator Monte Kiffin. Cowboys need a strong finish with late-season games against the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins.
- -
Head coach: Jim Schwartz
2012 record: 4-12 (A very disappointing season after the Lions finished 10-6 in 2011)
The off-season addition of free agent running back Reggie Bush will boost a Lions offense that flourished last year under quarterback Matthew Stafford, with receiver Calvin Johnson his main target. Defense needed improvement, and the Lions spent three of their top four draft picks in that area.
- -
Head coach: Mike McCarthy
2012 record: 11-5 (Won the NFC North title for a second straight season before losing 45-31 to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional playoffs)
The high-scoring Packers should claim another NFC North title and will once again build their offense around quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who now has the highest per-season salary ever in the league. A few questions remain on defense where linebacker Clay Matthews is the face of the franchise.
- -
Head coach: Leslie Frazier
2012 record: 10-6 (Rebounded strongly from a dismal 3-13 season, beating the Packers in the final game to make the playoffs as the NFC's sixth seed before losing 24-10 to Green Bay in the wild card round)
Inexperienced Christian Ponder is under pressure to prove he is the team's No. 1 quarterback with off-season signing Matt Cassel waiting on the sidelines. However, the team should benefit from the acquisition of veteran wide receiver Greg Jennings, in March, and linebacker Desmond Bishop, in June.
- -
Head coach: Sean Payton
2012 record: 7-9 (After an offseason dominated by the bounty scandal, the Saints started with four straight losses on the way to a tie for last in the NFC South)
With head coach Payton back in charge after a year-long suspension because of the bounty scandal and a big season once again expected from seven-time Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees, the Saints will look to regain their customary place as the NFC South's best. Defense needs improvement, though.
- -
Head coach: Tom Coughlin
2012 record: 9-7 (Just one season after going 9-7 before peaking to win the Super Bowl, the Giants posted an identical record but did not reach the playoffs)
Inspirational quarterback Eli Manning and a multi-dimensional offense should pave the way to more victories for the Giants in 2013 but a tougher late-season schedule could take its toll. A considerable improvement is needed in defense to make a postseason run.
- -
Head coach: Chip Kelly

Essendon coach Mark Thompson had a hunch things weren't going to go well for his team against Fremantle on Sunday.
With his AFL side riddled with injuries and illness, the last thing Essendon wanted to do was travel all the way to Perth to play a match in 32-degree heat.
Midfielder David Myers didn't even make it to the ground after a bout of vomiting grounded him at the team hotel.
A host of his teammates and coaching staff had also been struck down by the bug during the week.
And with Dustin Fletcher (soreness) and Paul Chapman (foot) also missing the match, Essendon couldn't afford to lose any more of their soldiers.
But when it rains, it pours.
Star midfielder Brendon Goddard was subbed out of the game early in the second quarter due to a groin injury, with the Dockers slamming on 10 goals either side of half-time to secure a 53-point win, 18.5 (113) to 9.6 (60).
Thompson wasn't sure whether it was the heat, illness or injuries that cruelled his side's chances of victory.
But either way he wasn't panicking, especially with Chapman, Fletcher, Myers and possibly Paddy Ryder due to return for Saturday night's clash with St Kilda.
Goddard, who couldn't overcome the groin tightness he felt during the warm-up, is also a chance to play.
"It's not the end of the world," Thompson said of Essendon's second loss of the year.
"We're not worried. We're going to pull up tomorrow as if nothing has happened.
"It's not about punishing (people) or being sad, it's about moving forward.
"Overall I just had a bit of feeling about the week and it's turned out that way.
"It was a pretty tough day. Especially for us pale-skinned Melburnians who don't like the heat and don't see much heat."
The Bombers led by five points midway through the second quarter, but wilted in the hot conditions as Fremantle's intense pressure took control.
Even the halftime loss of David Mundy to concussion couldn't halt the Dockers, with skipper Matthew Pavlich (three goals), ruckman Aaron Sandilands (45 hitouts) and defender Luke McPharlin (31 possessions) standing tall.
Danyle Pearce, Stephen Hill and Hayden Ballantyne added polish through the midfield and up forward, while all-Australian defender Michael Johnson was also supreme.
Fremantle were embarrassed in last round's 58-point loss to Hawthorn, but they regained their trademark hunger against the Bombers.
"I think the ground level was a lot more committed at the contest, a bit smarter how they went about it and they got the result they deserved," Fremantle coach Ross Lyon said.
"But we are certainly not getting carried away with it.
"We are under no illusions that we didn't quite play the Essendon that we expected to be playing."
In the absence of Bombers ruckmen Ryder and Tom Bellchambers, Sandilands enjoyed a field day against makeshift ruck duo Jake Carlisle and Joe Daniher.
However, Sandilands faces a nervous wait after his high whack on Travis Colyer in a clumsy tackle attempt.

Accessing PSAT Answers
How to See PSAT Answers
The answers for the questions asked in the PSAT can be found in the College Board Website. Once you take the test, you must be very concerned about your scores. You need to see the answers and explanations for the questions and gauge your performance. Your performance in the test goes a long way to earn a scholarship program for your higher studies in college. This is a standardized exam for the 11th and 12th graders and other students, which reflects a test-taker's preparation level and his/her probable score in the SAT. If you can remember your answers, you can tally them with the detailed answer report uploaded by the College Board website on the internet. The requirements for viewing your answers are a College Board account, the online access code and a preferential "My College Quick Start" account.
What Is the Procedure to Check the PSAT Answers?
You can check your answers after you log in to your College Board account. If you have no account, then create an account for yourself and then log in to check your answers. The website lets you view your answers along with their detailed explanation, lets you review your answers and provides clarification for your wrong responses. It also lets you view your scores, foretells your projected SAT scores and recommends the major courses or careers suitable for you.
Following are the steps by which you can find out the answers:
- Go to the link: https://quickstart.collegeboard.com/posweb/login.jsp to log in to your account. In case you have not made an account, you have to sign up in the official website before logging in. You also have to enter the online access code. Your paper score sheet contains the online access code. The code will be at the bottom right corner of your paper score report. The code should begin with an alphabet, followed by eight numbers and ending with another alphabet. Hence, you have to enter this 10 character long online access code to unlock your answers.
- The next step after you log in to your account would be to look for the 'explanations' bar in your PSAT Extra Page. You have to click the 'explanation' button to find out the details of your answers. However, once you click the 'explanation' button, you will be prompted to enter the password of your College Board account. Once you enter the password, you click 'submit' and then view the clarifications of your answers.
In this step, situation might arise where even after clicking 'explanations', you are redirected to the extra page. In such circumstances, delete the cookies and histories of your web browser and then try again.
- An important fact to note is, once you log in to the account, you might be prompted to enter a code for verifying the day you took the test. When asked, enter 424S, if you had taken it on Saturday or enter 424W in case you took it on Wednesday.
The above-mentioned steps talk about the ways by which you can check the answers from the official website. However, there exist many other websites and forums on the net, which feature detailed explanation of the correct answers. Nevertheless, it is best to follow the suggestions and remarks of the College Board website, as it is the most authentic and reliable. The evaluation of the answers by the official website is the most consistent and dependable because they partly administer the test.

Later this month the Landmarks Preservation Commission will hear the Stahl Organization's "hardship application" case for razing a designated apartment building along York Avenue and replacing it with new residential development, DNAinfo reported.
In its application to the LPC, submitted in September, Stahl claims more than 100 of the 190 units in the building, at 429 East 64th Street, are vacant, and it would cost $2 million to get those apartments in shape for tenants. Stahl estimated the apartments, which average about 371 square feet, would generate $600 a month in rent and operate at a net loss of more than $500,000. But residents say those units are only vacant because Stahl has hoarded them in preparation of a demolition, and they dispute the estimated rent revenue for those units.
"You can't even rent out your bathroom for as little as $600 a month in this area, even if you have to sleep in the bathtub and cook on a hot plate," one resident said.
The address was first landmarked in 1990, but was stripped of the designation four months later, according to previously published reports. Stahl, which has owned the property since 1977, public records show, had begun forging plans to replace the building, but the LPC re-designated it in 2006. The property is part of the City and Suburban Homes First Avenue Estate complex, which was built between 1898 and 1915 and was among the first privately built affordable apartment houses that offered an alternative to tenement housing.

|Draft Animal Cloning Risk Assessment

| My name is a Michelle Ronca, I am a 26 year old, single mother with two young children and I am a individual consumer. Cloning has been a reality for several years and the question of the morality of cloning still holds true for many of us. It is especially a question for myself and my family. I do understand the economical and humanitarian need for the use of cloning in order to produce food for the masses, however, I do feel that I should be given the right to choose what myself and my family ingest. I am aware of the fact that your organization claims that there is truely no diffrence from the meat of an animal that has not been cloned to the animal that has, but the thought of eating an animal that was not created from nature sickens me. I feel that the consumer should have a choice in this matter because it is a sensitive issue to so many, myself included in that count. I believe in choice and I feel that at the very least the products should be labeled so that the consumer does have that control as they do with the labels that are provided on packages now. I do recall "Dolly" the sheep and I feel that cloning as far as the general public is aware has long strides ahead but in my personal opinion and belief should not be done at all. I am not the pillar of perfection, nor am I the queen of morality, however, I could not sit idol on this subject. I hope that you at least considering labeling the product and I hope that you do bare in mind that our country was based on freedom and should remain that way. Armed with the proper knowledge I feel that many of the individual consumers can make an informed decision. Thank you for your time and I do hope that you deeply consider the idea about labeling.

I've searched the forums and have either missed the thread that had this or i am right in assuming that this would be a first. if it is the former, then my sincerest apologies. if it is the latter, then good for me
With regards to the topic that i stated, i just realized that konan said that tobi has to materialize before he can go to another dimension which is how konan managed to harm Tobi. if that were the case, would it not be possible that a well timed kamui might be able to tear tobi in half since we don't see any of kakashi's warped items in the same dimension as Tobi's (BTW: I say tobi since i am not assuming him as Madara)
please give me your input on this as I'm still unsure whether this is truly possible.


text: Better late than never, Amazon has finally unleashed its Kindle tablets onto the UK market – both the Kindle Fire and the Kindle Fire HD.With price on its side, you can grab the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD tablet for £159 for a 16GB model or opt for the cheaper Kindle Fire with a reduced specification for a reduced £129. You can find out all about both models here. Everything is as we expected, with the exception of one thing. Amazon has announced that streaming movies and TV on the tablets will be handled by Lovefilm, which is of course owned by Amazon. The online movie rental company will be deeply integrated into the tablet, rather than being just another app. So if you have Lovefilm, just enter your details and away you go. If you don't, you get a free trial for a month, which Amazon hopes will tempt you in for the long haul. The tablet will also allow you to set up and manage a 'watch list' on the tablet and using Whispersync you can start watching on a Kindle Fire, but carry on via another device if you like. Clever, although that is what Netflix offers on other tablets.If you want to research your viewing, X-Ray for Movies uses IMDb to give you all the background on pretty much anything to have the hit the big or small screen. So no excuse for a duff rental.If that impresses you, Amazon is waiting to take your order.

LANSING, MI — Michigan's right-to-work law has raised concerns among some who fear workers could be bullied as they decide whether or not to pay union dues or fees.
Right to work prohibits employers or labor unions from requiring workers to pay union dues or fees as a condition of their employment. Though the controversial measure went into effect on March 28, unions that already had existing contracts in place are allowed to continue operating under those terms until the agreements expire.
One MLive reader asked how workers who don't pay union dues or fees would be protected from any physical and emotional violence if unions post a list of the people who aren't members.
The law provides protections for workers against intimidation.
The law states that it's illegal to use "force, intimidation or unlawful threats" to compel someone to join or financially a support a union, or refrain from joining or financially supporting a union. The same goes for using such tactics to convince someone to pay a charitable organization or third party "an amount that is in lieu of, equivalent to, or any portion of dues, fees, assessments, or other charges or expenses required of members of or employees represented by a labor organization."
A person, employer, or labor organization that violates the law is liable for a civil fine of up to $500. The fine would go into the state's general fund.
Anyone who suffers harm as a result of a violation or threatened violation can bring a civil action for damages, injunctive relief, or both, according to the law. The court also shall award court costs and reasonable attorney fees if the plaintiff wins.
So far it's a bit unclear as to how a civil fine would be imposed for violations.
For unfair labor practices, MERC has jurisdiction over public sector employers and the NLRB has jurisdiction over private employers.

Four of them, so far. All four dogs (2 black labs, 1 border collie mix, 1 sheltie mix). Can't do anymore right now without having to get a kennel license.

Yes, I adopt ferrets who are abused, neglected, or just ignored. If I can rehabilitate them into loving pets, I try to find them suitable homes, if not, I keep them.
jonas_opines 7 years, 11 months ago
Our dog was from a pet-finder agency in KC that operates through Petco.
Of our four cats: One came from my Dad's cat's litter Two came from Lawrence Humane Society One was found in a trash can.

A kitten that showed up at my grandparent's house in July 2007. He was living in the storm drain and my grandma was able to coax him out and gave him to me. He has been the best companion! Of course, I named him Storm since he started his life in the storm drain.

My yellow lab was adopted from Lawrence Humane Society. I adopted a cat there, too, but she got out one night, and my kid and I cried for weeks.
We also adopted a jrt from a rescue in KC.
Our two cats were left at different vet's offices as kittens, and we adopted them from there.
3up3down 7 years, 11 months ago
Four so far. 1 Husky/Shepard mix 1 Lab/Bassett mix 2 Collie/Golden mix Would never buy from a breeder. Mixed breeds are more even tempered and have great personalities.
canyon_wren 7 years, 11 months ago
Yes--I got two kittens from our local Animal Shelter a year ago. I had never had indoor pets before, so it took some getting used to. If I could just get them to quit climbing my lace curtains and walking across the curtain rods (bending them, in the process) or getting into the bathroom and slashing the shower curtain liner, I would be a lot happier! But they are really good company and quite entertaining!
denak 7 years, 11 months ago
Yes, we adopted Chris, our black and white dutch rabbit from the Humane Society 6 years ago. He was 3-4 years old and had been abandoned by his previous owner.
We, and if, Chris ever decides to go to the great pound in the sky, we plan on adopting another animal from the Humane Society....probably a cat. Or perhaps more rats. They are really cool animals.
midwestmom 7 years, 11 months ago
in December 1991, my daughters 'desperately' wanted a pet and when we decided to get them a pet, I called the Lawrence Humane Society and they told me that they had the PERFECT cat for us. They were absolutely right! We adopted the cat they recommended to me over the phone. I came to the shelter to 'meet' the cat, before bringing her home and when we walked into the cat area, this beautiful cat came to the front of her cage and put her paw through the opening, as if to say "pleased to meet you". She was a full grown (approx 3 year old) long hair kitty. She was the best cat, ever. A family had to give her up and she was already spayed and had been declawed. She was an amazing, loving, intelligent cat and we loved her until the day she died in Feb 2008. She lived a long, loved life and I miss her still, every day. We have 2 other kitties that are strictly indoor cats (one a stray, the other a 'barn kitten') - otherwise I'd be at the shelter today to adopt another cat!!! We can't take in another animal right now, but we try to support the shelter by donating supplies and money whenever we can and I challenge other pet lovers to consider doing the same if you can't out right adopt - please find out from the shelter what their greatest needs are and make a donation of time, supplies or money. We're so lucky to have Midge Grinstead and her staff in our community doing the amazing work they do!!! Thanks very much!

I too got a perfect match from the shelter. His name is Deion and he is a five year old orange tabby. He is the darling of my life. I want to give thanks to those who work at the shelter for everything they do. They also need volunteers to help take care of the animals and walk them and give them some company.
Music_Girl 7 years, 11 months ago
I live in the country. There are strays that people dump out there that we end up adopting. People, seriously, don't just dump your animals and expect them to be ok. Some farmers are not ok with strays and will put them down. Many strays end up hungry and hurt because they don't know how to live on their own. Be responsible and take them to a shelter or advertise them in the paper or something. Don't just dump them!
notjustastudent 7 years, 11 months ago
I've never once in my life had an animal that wasn't "adopted"- starting with neighborhood mutts, runts from farms that would have been allowed to die, and then with the advent of Petfinder, shelter animals of all shapes and sizes! It's definitely become a "tradition" in our family and extended family. I got my cat from the Lawrence shelter 6 years ago, and she made fast friends with a super-mutt from the Lawrence shelter, who belonged to my former roommate. I do think that there are some responsible breeders out there, but they are definitely in the minority (I'm thinking less than 1 %). For example, I think responsible Pitt Bull breeders are very important right now, to help bring the most desirable traits of that breed back into the majority. Whatever you decide to do, it's most important to chose what's right for your situation, not what you think is right to do, or what is cute, or what is cool.

We've adopted 2, Rufus and Moose, (we kept the names the shelter gave them) from the Humane Society, but Rufus passed last year.
A friend of mine came home from a trip to Germany to find a litter in her backyard a couple of years ago. The momma cat never came back, so she started bottle feeding them. At five weeks old, she gave us Mickey. He's amazingly loving and beautiful. Sleeps right up against my pillow every night. He's jealous of my husband. When my husband tries to kiss me good night the cat always tries to squeeze between us. It's very cute, although my husband doesn't appreciate it much.

Music Girl,
I feel your plight. We have them dumped on us all the time. So far we have been pretty lucky finding homes for them (we are full). We have even taken them to Colorado if we find them a home there.
As Music Girl said, don't dump them people. I found one one time that had obviously been out for a long time as he was immaciated and dehydrated. He had been hit by at least one car, and was laying in the road with a broken back. Had to put him down. Pets can not, typically, survive in the wild for long. Especially when winter shows up.
As for us, we have had purebreds and adopted animals. As student stated, you have to pick the animal that is right for you and/or your purpose, or else it will just become another neglected, unwanted animal.

It's always been a pet peeve of mine that people consider their pets their "baby" or "child." Well, I'm eating my words. We adopted our kitty from the Lawrence shelter a few months ago and she is like a child because the whole family loves her so much! She picked us by immediately putting her paws around my husband's neck and snuggling with him. It was like she knew that if she won him over, she was in. I told my husband that we don't have to have another child. We'll just get more cats and maybe a dog eventually.

Adopted two black cats two years ago. Shelter names were Serendipity and Goliath. I can't imagine more appropriate names. Goliath turned out to be a Maine Coon mix and is huge. Have you ever seen a cat drool? He does, he's like a dog.

Sometimes the stray puppies have puppies themselves...which have had no human contact. They harass livestock and the only way is to pick them off with a .306.

Paul Panayotatos, Respected Faculty Member, Dies
It is with great sadness that the School of Engineering announces the death of Paul Panayotatos, an internationally respected researcher and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University, who died on Sunday, April 7, following a long illness.
During his 30 year career as a faculty member of Rutgers School of Engineering, Dr. Panayotatos was a vigorous supporter of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the university working with students, leading the department through a successful ABET evaluation last year, and serving as a member of various university committees, including most recently as chair of the University Senate.
His research interests included co-integration of GaAs on Si for optical interconnects, organic semiconductor solar cells, silicon micromachining for microelectromechanical devices (MEMS) and compound semiconductor devices. As a respected faculty member at Rutgers, Dr. Panayotatos held a number of distinctive positions, including Board of Governors faculty representative and member of the search committees for both the current executive vice president for academic affairs and the university president.
"Dr. Panayotatos will be widely remembered as a gentleman, a man of principle and a tireless advocate for ECE," said Athina Petropulu, department chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "He did not allow his two-year long illness to define him, but rather, despite all odds, he went about managing his departmental and university responsibilities with renewed energy and optimism. He gave us all lessons of courage. He will be sorely missed."
Dr. Panayotatos received his undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Patras, Greece, and his master's and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University. Following his graduation, he served in the Greek Navy and then briefly joined the faculty of Columbia University as assistant professor before finding a home at Rutgers in 1982.
Dr. Panayotatos is survived by his mother, Sofia, and his sister, Elisabeth. The funeral service will take place in Athens on April 16, and the burial will take place on April 17 in Argostoli of the Greek island Kefalonia, where his family is from.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the ECE Department. In memory of Professor Paul Panayotatos and to honor his exceptional service to the School of Engineering, we have established the "Paul Panayotatos Scholarship" for graduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Contributions can be made online at this link. Donations can be designated to the ECE Department in memory of Professor Panayotatos.

text: Best bagels in Asheville by far! I've been eating Home Free Bagels for awhile now at Biltmore Coffee Traders but had never been to the Bagel Stand until today. It's a cute little stand, in West Asheville in the parking lot of Standard Pizza, with bagels and coffee. When I was there there were only two types of bagels, plain and everything. I got there kind of late, so I'm not sure if there are other favors available.There are a variety of flavored cream cheeses to choose from. I got Jalapeño and Cranberry Habanero. They have a toaster to heat your bagel if that's important to you. They are open Monday thru Friday 8am to 11am. Yum!

Are you interested in including local lamb in your sampled products? We grow our lambs naturally on grass and they are antibiotic and hormone free. We have about 400 ewes and would have a good selection of lamb through October. They can be USDA slaughtered at Superior Farms in Dixon. Lamb shisk-ka-bobs with local vegetables would be one suggestion for sampling.
We use a special marinade made with olive oil for the lamb.

Flt3-L Is a Novel Biomarker Increased in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients with Primary Fibromyalgia and Sjogren Syndrome.
L. Bjersing, Jan, Dehlin, Mats, Zetterberg, Henrik, Larsson, Anette, Erlandsson, Malin, Mannerkorpi, Kaisa, Bokarewa, Maria
Primary fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a non-inflammatory condition, characterised by chronic generalized pain with allodynia. Primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune inflammation of exocrine glands. Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3-L) is a growth factor expressed in brain microglia and regulating differentiation and recruitment of monocytes into dendritic and glial cells. Both FM and pSS are commonly associated with fatigue and non-restorative sleep, and occasionally with depression and cognitive dysfunction. The aim of the study was to compare inflammatory and axonal biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of pSS and FM patients.
Paired samples of CSF and serum from female patients with pSS (age 48±12 years, disease duration 10±8 years) and FM (age 49±8 years, symptom duration 12±5 years) were evaluated for the levels of Flt3-L and related to inflammatory (IL-6, IL-8) and axonal (NFL, Tau, phosphorylated Tau, GFAP) biomarkers.
Flt3-L in CSF was significantly higher in FM patients compared to pSS patients (table 1). The proportion of phosphorylated Tau (pTau) to total Tau (tTau) was significantly higher in FM compared to SS. However, total levels of tTau and pTau were not different between the groups. Flt3-L in CSF correlated with levels of tTau and pTau, in both pSS (r=0.68, r=0.65) and FM (r=0.38, r=0.45). In FM, Flt3-L was also associated with neurofilament light chain (NFL, r=0.41) and astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, r=0.58). Flt3-L in CSF correlated with Flt3-L in serum of patients with pSS (r=0.53) but not in FM. IL-6 in CSF was significantly higher in pSS patients compared to FM (table 1). No correlation was found between Flt3-L and IL-6. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 or Flt3-L were not significantly different between pSS and FM patients.
Table 1. Levels of biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid in primary fibromyalgia (FM) and primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS)
Flt3-L is a novel biomarker in CSF, distinguishing patients with FM and pSS. Levels of Flt3-L are positively related with axonal products, suggesting potential clinical impact of Flt3-L in fatigue and pain of patients with FM and pSS.

Discount retailer
Managing director
"Trading in January and February has been significantly impacted by the flood," Mr Bryce said. "Our sales are below where we thought they would be in January and February therefore, on an operating basis, without any insurance recovery, our earnings would be less. The unquantifiable component is how much we will get reimbursed for those loss of sales."
He said 80 per cent of stock was lost due to the floods and remaining stock can't be processed, while all equipment must be replaced at Ipswich. "Disjointed stock flow will impact sales across the business from the basic range to the catalogue," he said. The damage bill was "north of $10 million", but he expected the company to be mostly compensated by insurance.
The Reject Shop cut its full-year net profit forecast in December to between $21 million and $22 million, from between $26 million and $26.5 million.
Asked if the current full-year earnings estimate should be disregarded, Mr Bryce said, "In simple terms, yes", but it was too early to tell what the guidance would be, given the effect of the flood.
The Reject Shop posted a 16 per cent fall in first-half net profit to $15.9 million, which was 10 per cent below Goldman Sachs expectations.
Sales rose 10.2 per cent to $275.9 million, bolstered by 17 new store openings. Comparable store sales rose 1.1 per cent in the period, with 4.3 per cent growth in the first quarter, followed by a 1.2 per cent decline in the second quarter. Mr Bryce said, "We were trading ahead of budget in October but in November and December, sales fell off."
Chief financial officer
Despite the headwinds facing the company, Mr Bryce said far north Queensland was a growth area and the group would open seven new sites this half, with another 15 new stores secured in 2012.
The Reject Shop shares closed 41¢ lower, or 3.04 per cent, at $13.09 yesterday – well off their 52-week high of $18.60.

Underpromise, overdeliver, keep your customersPosted on Written by Bill Sisson
Volatility has been the flavor of the day, the week, the month in both the global economy and on the block where you and I go about the business of boating. Despite the economic uncertainty, one proven prescription for success hasnt changed, even if there are fewer buyers in showrooms and on the docks.
The recipe includes building quality boats, engines and products; innovating through good times and bad; managing the expectations of your customers; being honest in your dealings with them; and, of course, providing good service.
The advice came during a seminar on customer satisfaction given by Eric Sorensen at this years International BoatBuilders Exhibition & Conference. The seminar focused broadly on building better boats and creating customer loyalty, listening to what customers have to say, and then leading in product innovation, quality and service.
As the former founding director of J.D. Power and Associates marine practice, Sorensen drew upon the results of J.D. Power surveys, along with his own extensive background in testing boats and engines, to make his observations and conclusions. He spoke about the importance of prioritizing and using CSI information in designing and building boats, and he noted how important it is to manage customer expectations.
He spoke of the halo effect created when a good boat and the right engine package is put in the hands of a strong dealer. That combination will delight the customer, which ultimately is the goal.
He cautioned boatbuilders to choose dealers carefully. After all, he noted, even a great boat needs to be backed up with great service, or customer loyalty will suffer. His advice to dealers: Run the business like youre going to leave it to your kids.
Sorensen presented interesting data on first-time buyers, who he says are typically harder to please than more-experienced boaters. They expect the same level of quality in the product and dealer that they do with their car, he says. Not only do they expect more, they also will be much tougher at grading the quality of the boat and service.
And while these new buyers may be easier to snow or fool because of their inexperience, Sorensen cautioned that one travels that road at significant peril. Dont treat them like chumps, he says. You can fool them once, but that will be it. If you want to see them back, its much better to be honest with them.
Whether youre selling to a first-timer or an experienced customer, Sorensen emphasized the importance of managing customer expectations regarding the boat, engine and service. Make sure you can deliver on whatever is implicit or explicit in your claims, he told us. If you tell them the boat will do 30 knots in 2-footers, make sure it can do it. And, he notes, If you have a high-priced boat, you really have to deliver.
Bottom line: Underpromise and overdeliver. Good advice, whether youre turning out $5 million yachts or $20 accessories.
Sorensens suggestions regarding service are probably nothing you havent heard before, though the message is worth repeating, especially in this tough market.
Fix it right the first time.
Always make a follow-up call to the customer.
Dont create another problem trying to fix the first one.
If you say the boat is going to be ready on Thursday, it better be ready on Thursday, he says. Give yourself some wiggle room if youre not sure.
Sorensen reminded us that low consumer expectations regarding product quality provide plenty of opportunities for builders and dealers. The bar is set very low for you in a number of areas, he says.
Examples: A boat that rides hard and wet, a high dBA level on the bridge of a sportfisherman, steering that is unresponsive.
There are huge opportunities to compete against these products using CSI data, he said.
An effective way to distinguish your boat from the rest of the pack is by incorporating innovative features that customers may never have imagined or asked for. As examples, he cited the CMD Zeus and Volvo IPS pod drives, Mercurys Axius system, and joystick maneuvering.
Sorensen opened his talk with a quote attributed to Henry Ford: If I had listened to my customers, I would have come up with a faster horse.
Listening is critical, he says, but sometimes you have to have the strength of your convictions to forge a new direction through product innovation. And in this downturn, there is anecdotal evidence that at least some of those who are building and selling the latest generation drive and engine systems are faring better than those who arent.
Sometimes the old horse just needs new shoes; other times, shes ready for the pasture.

When is a banjo more like a sitar? When it's in the hands of English folk musician Martin Simpson, and accompanying the soaring vocals of Pakistani singer Arieb Azhar. Embarked on earlier this year at that mecca for musical discovery, The Sage in Gateshead, this is a significant collaboration between two of the world's most respected guitarists, whose combined influeces range from Afro-American and old-time to Balkan and gypsy music. This should be a great chance to hear elements of the earlier (free) 'Folk Nation' discussion in action.

Milne Alumni October Newsletter
As I mentioned in an earlier email, I will be temporarily sending out the Milne Alumni Newsletter until Mary Welch is able to again pursue her special interest in publishing the newsletter and to work on other aspects of the Milne Alumni Project.
Dear Milne
Alumni and Supporters,
1. I am planning to post all "past, present, and future" newsletters on our website. I would like to know whether you would be satisfied with an email containing just a link to each newsletter or would prefer receiving the entire newsletter via email. Please let me know! Either way, the newsletters will eventually be viewable on the Web.
2. Herbert Marx, Class of '38, has a wonderful suggestion for those classes who find it difficult to hold reunions. He recommends making a booklet that will include classmates' descriptions of their past and current lives, in addition to their Milne memories. This would be a wonderful way to keep in touch when, for various reasons, alumni are unable to get together.
3. If among your classmates there are "missing" alumni and you would like their names listed on the website, please let me know.
4. I would be happy to add a link on the alumni website to any class and/or reunion photos you may have. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to help.
4. If you would like your name made into an email link on the website, just send me an email and I will be happy to add that link. That provides an easy way for other alumni to contact you.
5. You received an obituary for David W. Martin from me in September. Since then I found the following article on the Web which might be of interest to you regarding Dr. Martin's accomplishments:
6. Mary Welch and I have been talking about possible volunteer alumni projects. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. We will discuss this in future newsletters.
7. I have been attempting to learn more about the status of the murals in the former Milne library. The most recent response I have received is as follows: "I know that the restorers have been working this summer. I was at a meeting where it was mentioned that there are four left to do, and the people at the meeting expected they will all be completed next summer. The restorers can only work on the murals when the room is not used, so they schedule their work in the summer."
8. If you are a Class Contact, when you receive changes to your classmates' contact information, please be sure to send me the new email address, "snail mail" address, and/or telephone number so that the main database will be as accurate as possible.
I am still trying to gain a clearer picture regarding the financing of the mural restoration; what, if any, funds raised by Milne alumni may (or may not!) still be available; and whether the University has raised the total amount of money necessary to complete the project. I will provide updates as I receive them.
Thanks to all of
you for your interest in Milne Alumni activities.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
plenty for kids to do, rooms clean and comfortable the hotel had on-site security-pizza guy in Italian restaurant lovely food very repetitive for all-inclusive 2 weeks-good 15 minute walk to main street
Food and facilities were great. Excellent for families with lots for kids to do. Close to all facilities in Corralejo.
The animation team was good. The following points made our day not plesant: cockroaches in the room, the food was not varied enough in particular the salades were boring, only one heated pool and babies were aloud in the pool without a swim nappy.
Compact complex which made it feel small and exclusive. Food was very good and no problems with queuing for food or drink. All inclusive option was great value. Entertainment for kids seemed excellent and evening shows provided variety and we good for adults and children. Nothing. We all thought it was excellent and would definitely go back
Facilities for the kids. Food could have been better some of the staff not so friendly.
We enjoyed the layout of the Hotel and the staff were very friendly, aknowledging us on occasions when they didn't really have to, helped to make us feel at home. The shuttle service to the beach was a great bonus, also. Ants and cockroaches in the room
I loved everything about the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were beautiful, clean and welcoming. The food was fantastic with a great selection. The drinks were good quality and plentiful. Altogether myself and 5 friends had a great time.
This is an all-inclusive hotel for families with small children. We rather not recommend it for any couples. There is no beach access and the pools are filled with beach chairs. The main restaurant was not very good in our opinion. The other two restaurants were ok. For those you have to get a reservation in advance and you can dine only once per week there. PCs+Internet & Wifi is available for pay. If we come back to Corralejo we definitely won't stay there anymore!
good dinner and breakfast, impressive garden with dozen on different kind of trees, cactus, parking available Poor entrance to get access to the appartments separated by the main hall. Horrible buildings sites abandoned just crossing the road outside the hotel
this hotel is only suitable for families,been only a couple i felt i made the wrong choice.the room we ha d was ok except for the view from the balcony, even though we were over looking a pool you could see nothing but a tree which was over grown and so it blocked every thing, view and light
The receptionists were friendly and competent they lost my pyjama!!!
Poor, ageing apartments. Could do with a overhaul, windows didnt lock, rickety sliding doors. Toilet, didnt flush when we arrived, so I fixed it as there wasnt maintenance available. Not cleaned very well, and was very hot without aircon.
sun bathing and and relaxing by the pool mainly, sitting on the balcony overlooking the pool activitiy
Its close to all the amenities The fact that if you need to check out after midnight or before 8:00am you can't,
Insufficient hot water for showers. For a 2 bedroom apartment more seating in common area would have been good.
Friedly staff, good pool, peacefull and nice garden, cleaning, good beds and kitchen If you are unlucky making your reservation you can have apartment which bedroom is beside the street. The noice of the the cars is terrible. It was rain in one day and we got inside water from the roof and doors. Friendly staff used towels. At the same evening the water line was out of order any hours. The possibility to watch the TV should include rooms price without extra fee.
Nice apartment, enough space for two persons, and very collaborative personnel. Everything but the room is paid, and expensive. Ping pong, tennis court, TV...
we really appreciate good food, nice pool and quite place tv and hairdryer were not free. ping pong and tennis equipment very old and almost broken. entertainment just for english people.
Location great,food great,enough sunbeds,perfect weather..what more do you need ?

During 1994-95, the Board of Trustees, the University Relations Committee, members' representatives, and UCAR management evaluated progress toward achieving the goals set in UCAR 2001: A Strategic Outlook for the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. A midcourse assessment was published last April on the World Wide Web (see the summer 1996 issue of the UCAR Quarterly for a summary). This document was made available to the members' representatives in hard copy at the October meeting.
Following the assessment, the trustees appointed a team of university faculty to examine the governance structure of UCAR, including the roles of the UCAR members' representatives, the Board of Trustees, and their various committees, all of which are provided by the UCAR Bylaws. The original 1959 governance structure had been modified in a piecemeal fashion over the years but had never been systematically revised.
The UCAR Governance Examination Team (UGET) members were cochairs Susan Avery (University of Colorado) and John Snow (University of Oklahoma), Kelvin Droegemeier (University of Oklahoma), Robert Street (Stanford University), Melanie Wetzel (University of Nevada, Reno), and Edward Zipser (Texas A&M University). UGET worked with the trustees, UCAR management, and UCAR counsels Had Beatty and Lise Carney over a period of several months and proposed a number of changes to the UCAR Articles of Incorporation and the UCAR Bylaws. They also recommended to the members that they elect for UCAR to be governed by the current (1967) Colorado nonprofit law rather than the 1931 statute, as has been the case.
The proposed changes consisted of the amended and restated Articles of Incorporation, statement of election to be governed by the 1967 Colorado nonprofit law, many "housekeeping" and "conformance to practice" changes in the bylaws, and 12 substantive changes in governance activities.
Given its complexity, the amendment process went smoothly. In what turned out to be a lively and important part of the proceedings, some 75 members' representatives attended an informal luncheon meeting on 8 October just prior to the formal meeting. This luncheon meeting gave participants a chance to ask questions of UGET and to air their concerns before the formal discussions and voting that occurred later in the day. In simplifying the articles of incorporation, UGET proposed dropping their original reference to NCAR. It quickly became evident that many representatives objected to this proposed deletion. The trustees held a brief meeting after the luncheon and modified the proposed changes to include this statement: "In furtherance of those purposes, but not as a limitation to its powers, the Corporation is empowered to operate an institute for atmospheric research, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and other laboratories and facilities for atmospheric research and for research in related fields."
After this modification, the election to be governed and the housekeeping changes passed overhwelmingly. The proposed substantive changes generated much productive discussion and debate, and the representatives eventually approved 9 of the 12 proposed bylaw changes. The changes that were approved range from simplifying voting procedures by the members and trustees to allowing flexibility for setting the date of the annual members' meeting to including the UCAR Academic Affiliates in the bylaws. The changes that were defeated had to do with setting membership fees, the composition of the board, and substitutes for members' representatives. Further detail is available from the UCAR offices in Boulder, and the revised bylaws are being prepared for printing and distribution.
The tenor of the discussion and the results of the voting reaffirmed the commitment of the representatives to their strong role in the governance of UCAR. The changes approved at this meeting simplified the articles of incorporation and the bylaws and brought them up to date in many ways, but the basic role of the representatives in the governance of UCAR has not been significantly changed.
I believe that the governance review process was healthy and increased the UCAR members' awareness of their rights and responsibilities in the governance of their corporation. It was well worth the considerable effort put in by UGET, the trustees, the members' representatives, and the UCAR management and staff, particularly Harriet Barker, Steve Dickson, and Susan Friberg.
