It was a time for joyful celebration as nearly 350 of St. John's loyal supporters gathered on June 15, 2006, to mark the end of the Campaign for St. John's – Fulfilling the Dream initiative -- the most successful fundraising effort in University history.
"Tonight I am grateful to announce to you that, as of this moment, the Campaign for St. John's has raised a staggering $271 million," said Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President, told the honored guests at a gala dinner in the Taffner Field House.
The evening began with a concelebrated Mass of Thanksgiving in St. Thomas More Church on the Queens campus. As principal celebrant, Rev. Harrington set the evening's tone by affirming that "…our success is directly attributable to the hand of God. In the blessings that we see on our campuses, we can see the hand of God."
Following Mass, the guests boarded trolleys for the short ride to the field house for the cocktail reception and dinner. The dinner, highlighted by a stunning video, detailed the numerous ways in which the success of the Campaign significantly impacted every aspect of the University.
From its inception, Rev. Harrington added, the Campaign was a reflection of St. John's Vincentian mission. "Tonight is really not about the dollars," he said. "It's not about the buildings, or the labs, or the technology. It's not so much about what we've done – it's about who we are."
Emphasizing the impact of the guest's generosity, William Montgoris, a Campaign Co-Chair, declared "this campaign's success guarantees that our legacy will live on in the lives of thousands of others…for generations to come."
We invite you to relive the joy of our Campaign Celebration through the images captured in our Photo Gallery.

During the first International Eclipse Dealer and Sales Conference held this past Friday in Albuquerque, Eclipse Aerospace announced the official launch of initial production of the new model Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet. Eclipse dealers representing the United States and over 30 different countries were on hand as the management team and Board of Directors for Eclipse Aerospace all signed the fuselage of the first production aircraft, Serial Number 1001. The ceremony continued with the Eclipse production team officially mating the forward keel assembly to the fuselage.
Now armed with an established supply chain, a new FAA production certificate, and a certified airframe, Eclipse is officially back in production with deliveries beginning in 2013. Eclipse plans initial low-volume production with the first aircraft taking approximately 12 months to complete as the balance of the production line is re-tooled and validated during the process. Full production for an estimated 50 to 100 aircraft per year is expected in 2014, paced by market demand. The base price of the Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet is $2,695,000 (2011 value).
Mason Holland, CEO & Chairman of Eclipse Aerospace commented "New production of the Eclipse Jet, that was the ultimate goal of EAI when we started the process two and a half short years ago. The excellent team at Eclipse Aerospace along with our strong supply chain partners have brought us back into the production market. I am simply humbled by everyone's efforts!"
In addition to the new production announcement, Eclipse also announced the official roll out of the Eclipse International Dealer organization. Eclipse Dealers from around the world representing over 30 countries attended and signed agreements for the purchase of new Eclipse 550 Jets slated for delivery in 2014 and early 2015.
Eclipse opened the order book for the 550 at the NBAA Convention in Las Vegas last year, and the FAA granted a production certificate in April of this year. Enhancements will include expanded aircraft computer systems and integrated avionics package, which will now support features such as Synthetic Vision, Enhanced Vision, dual-mode FMS, TAWS, TCAS-1, ADS-B, on-board color radar, Radar Altimeter, and iPad data entry integration. In addition, Eclipse Aerospace will become the first in its industry to offer Auto-Throttles as an option for the Eclipse 550.
The Eclipse 550 will be powered by the same Pratt & Whitney PW610F turbofan engines used in the EA-500, which collectively produce 1,800 lbs. of thrust. This gives the 6,000 lb. Eclipse Jet a maximum cruise speed of 375 knots and an IFR range of 1,125 nm with a full fuel payload of 700 lbs. Like the EA-500, the Eclipse 550 will have a maximum service ceiling of 41,000 ft and a cruise fuel flow of only 59 gallons per hour. (Images: Top, Mason Holland announcing production.

People have become acutely aware over the past decade that everyone needs to reduce their impact on the environment. Carpooling seems like an economical way to do this, but there is actually some contention over whether or not high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are beneficial or detrimental. In general, there are pros and cons related to HOV lanes and carpooling that every state must understand when considering whether or not to implement these types of traffic measures.
What are HOV Lanes?
HOV lanes are specific highway lanes that typically only allow vehicles with at least one passenger to travel in them. Those who drive in these lanes without any passengers face legal fines and penalties. Some states allow all traffic to take advantage of this travel privilege at certain times during the day, saving the HOV designation for hours when traffic is more congested.
Certain localities also permit drivers with hybrid vehicles to use the carpool lane without penalties. In some instances, drivers who don't carpool may opt to purchase a pass to use the HOV lane, as well. None of these rules are imposed on a national level, so drivers usually need to learn the specific regulations for their area.
Advantages of Carpooling
Carpooling has had a huge impact on how we view our contribution to the environment and has played a part in urging us to decrease our carbon footprint. It goes without saying that this choice has proven to be an environmentally friendly way of getting numerous people from one point to another. By creating roadways that promote and allow carpooling, this practice has become part of our social norm. HOV lanes are often intended to be earth friendly by the fact that some locales allow single drivers to use the lane when driving a hybrid car.
Proponents of carpooling also state that it reduces traffic congestion by keeping high occupancy vehicles out of the "fast" lanes of interstate highways. This also benefits the drivers of these vehicles due to the fact that they don't face the stress of driving in seriously congested traffic. In a nutshell, HOV lanes and carpooling reduces stress on both an individual and city-wide scale.
Disadvantages of Carpooling
While there are certain disadvantages that affect people on an more personal level, such as not having their own car in the case of an emergency; carpooling and HOV lanes may present far larger dangers. For instance, opponents of HOV lanes state that it would be difficult for people to enter and exit these road ways at spots predetermined by the state without cutting through large swaths of traffic.
Attempting to get across large areas of traffic isn't the only possible danger of this system. It's been proven that teens are more likely to be involved in accidents if they have others in the vehicle with them. Inexperienced motorist and individuals taking risks to get into the carpool lane are two very dangerous factors that this type of interstate driving creates.
Complicated Debates and Legal Issues
The aforementioned hazards are part of the reason why the possibility of HOV lanes in certain areas, such as Charleston, S.C., have become such a hot issue. Debates in Charleston have been waging for years over whether or not an HOV lane should be implemented from Charleston to Summerville. In addition, drivers in some states face tough legal issues if involved in a carpooling vehicular accident. For example, Florida drivers only have to own $20,000 worth of insurance coverage in the event they cause multiple injuries. Regrettably, when it comes to carpooling and HOV accidents, multiple injuries are very likely.
Sadly, the majority of states, from South Carolina to Oregon, only require a minimum of $50,000 in auto insurance coverage. These minimums are rarely enough to protect everyone injured in a carpool wreck. This dismal scenario can become extremely complicated for both the driver and their injured passengers. Seeking the professional advice or legal counsel of Charleston car accident attorneys would be the best course of action to resolve any local-specific ramifications of this type of accident in SC. In most cases, this is the least problematic way for carpoolers and their passengers to ensure that they are fully compensated for their injuries.
There's no doubt that carpooling has some very distinct advantages that actually benefit the global community. However, it's important to remember that everything in life has disadvantages. Regardless of whether it's an increased chance of accidents or the hassle a person faces by not having their own vehicle; drawbacks do exist.

Alexander Skarsgard
Just a little interesting information on a member of the Skarsgard Clan…
Foreign Film Oscar Submissions: Alexander Skarsgård's Little Brother, Bill Skarsgard…in Simple Simon
The Skarsgårds are totally taking over movies and television! Father Stellan has been in everything for decades now from blockbusters (Pirates of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia) to arthouse favorites and beyond. Alexander Skarsgård, his son bouyed by the media's ravenous appetite for True Blood has become a hot commodity in the past couple of years. Gustaf Skarsgård also has his share of popular movie roles and theatrical performances. And now little brother Bill Skarsgård (20) has the lead role in Sweden's Oscar entry Simple Simon.
By Scott Roxborough
Sept 8, 2010, 10:06 AM ET
COLOGNE, Germany — Two debut features from Europe have entered the race for the 2011 Foreign Language Oscar: Florin Serban's juvenile delinquent drama "If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle," which will contend for Romania and "Simple Simon" from director Andreas Ohman, a tale of a boy dealing with Asperger's syndrome, which will represent Sweden.
"If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle" won the Silver Bear Jury Award as well as the Alfred Bauer Prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival. "Simple Simon" has been critically lauded in Sweden, where it bowed last week.
In the overall Oscar standings, Sweden has been nominated 15 times for the Foreign Language prize and won four — three going to legendary auteur Ingmar Bergmann. Romania has yet to receive an Academy Award nomination in the Foreign Language Film category.
An obsessive interest in a single subject is a major symptom of AS. Some children with AS have become experts on dinosaurs, makes and models of cars, even objects as seemingly odd as vacuum cleaners. Their expertise, high level of vocabulary and formal speech patterns make them seem like little professors.
Children with AS have trouble reading social cues and recognizing other people's feelings. They may have strange movements or mannerisms. All of these make it difficult for them to make friends. Problems with motor skills are also common in children with AS. They may be late learning to ride a bike or catch a ball, for example. Treatment focuses on the three main symptoms: poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.

If you had an issue with a business in the past, it was typically necessary to contact them via telephone or mail. Now, however, most consumers use the Internet to resolve their complaints. In fact, there are websites dedicated solely to giving consumers a place to air their grievances, and some of these sites even allow the company in question to publicly respond directly to the complaint.
Although not every business will take the opportunity to settle an issue, it is still a good idea to share your issue with other consumers via these websites. After all, if you do not let other people know about your negative experience, the company that wronged you will continue to have the opportunity to do the same thing to others.
How do Consumer Complaint Websites Work?
When you visit a consumer complaint website, you will usually be given the option to search through a list of complaints that other users have posted. This can be helpful if you are doing research into a new product or company, and it can also help you avoid dealing with common issues. In addition to browsing through other people's complaints, you can also post your own. By doing this, you will help other consumers make an informed decision. Some sites, including Gripevine.com, will even send your complaint to the company in question. By doing this, they are giving the business a chance to resolve your issue. Although there are some companies that have made the decision to avoid responding to consumer complaints online, there are still a lot of business owners who understand that services like Gripevine.com present a good opportunity for them to smooth over an issue and make themselves look better to other consumers.
When should I use a Consumer Complaint Website?
Although you can technically use one of these sites the moment something goes wrong, it is best to attempt to contact the company directly first. If an email or a phone call does not provide you with a satisfactory resolution, however, you should definitely post your complaint so that other consumers can easily read about the potential danger of doing business with that specific company. It is a good idea to mention in your consumer complaints how many times you have tried to contact the company already and whether or not anyone even took the time to respond to you at all. You can share your posted complaint with a bigger audience by putting the link on your Facebook page, and you might even want to consider posting about your experience on any applicable local review sites as well.
What if I do Not Get a Response?
As previously mentioned, some companies have a policy against responding to customers via complaint websites. Therefore, it is possible that your complaint will not be answered by anyone who can help you receive any form of compensation. However, it is always important to share your story anyway, and if enough consumers post similar complaints, the company may eventually change their practices. You can also take your complaint and file it with the Better Business Bureau.
Regardless of what your negative experience was, you can take steps toward getting it resolved by utilizing a consumer complaint website. Even if you do not receive a response, you can feel good about the fact that you have helped other people avoid dealing with the same issues that you have faced.
Anthony Joseph is a freelance writer who enjoys discussing a wide-range of topics, and contributes this particular article for the purpose of raising awareness about complaint websites. The purpose of Gripevine is to improve customer service, while giving your consumer complaints an actual place to be heard. It's a much more level playing field when both consumers and companies can come together and work out their differences and arrive at solutions.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is at once a Roman Catholic lay religious order, a humanitarian organization, and a sovereign entity under international law. It counts 13,500 Knights and Dames as members, boasts diplomatic relations with 104 countries, enjoys observer status at the United Nations and prints its own stamps, coins, license plates and passports.
The order traces its history to an 11th century infirmary in Jerusalem set up by a monk to care for pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. During the Crusades, as its humanitarian efforts spread, the order took on a military role to protect both pilgrims and Christendom as a whole from Muslim attacks. In February 1113, 900 years ago this month, Pope Paschal II recognized the order with a papal bull.
The Order of Malta's forces once occupied Cyprus, Rhodes and Malta. But Napoleon expelled the order from Malta in 1798, depriving the knights of the final patch of land over which they ruled. It still has its own legal code and constitution, a government and courts. But, other than a few grand buildings, it has no territory to call its own. "Its sovereignty is more a legal fiction than actual sovereignty," said Giovanni Bonello, a retired Maltese judge who has written extensively on the order.
There was a time when a would-be member of the Order of Malta had to prove nobility through all eight great-grandparents.
One of the orders most illustrious—and notorious—members was the artist Caravaggio, who was expelled in 1608 after he murdered one young man and got into a brawl that left a knight seriously injured. Its most controversial leader was Czar Paul I of Russia, who took over as grand master after the order was expelled from Malta and needed a protector. The Holy See never recognized Paul's appointment because he was neither Catholic (he was Orthodox Christian), nor celibate, nor elected.
Today the order includes prominent Catholics, including politicians, lawyers, doctors and academics.
The order runs hospitals, ambulance services and old folks' homes in 120 countries, relying on members, some 20,000 employees and 80,000 fixed volunteers. It also mobilizes emergency relief aid when disasters strike. One of the order's hallmark projects is its Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, which provides free maternity care for the area's largely Muslim population.
The order's Santa Maria villa on the Aventine hill features perhaps the most famous keyhole in the world, a must-see for any tourist visiting the nearby Circus Maximus: Through the hole a visitor can see the perfectly framed dome of St. Peter's Basilica. But it also provides a unique vista of three sovereign entities, one behind another: the gardens of the villa belonging to the Order of Malta, a patch of Italy along the Tiber River, and beyond that, the Holy See.

I hate to be "that guy", but how close are we to getting Great Balls Of Fire? Or has that been canned?
It went out of testing, and hasn't came back yet. HOWEVER it has a very intricate and complicated means of getting working stems, and I can't imagine it's an easy process to adjust the mix at all when it calls for it.
So as far as I know it's still coming, but I'd expect an extra long time on this one as there is a very involved process when it comes to the stems/mixing and doing any adjustments to them.

The heart of SRU's BIND® technology is the novel optical properties of the BIND® Biosensors. Each well of a BIND Biosensor incorporates a proprietary optical grating which reflects a narrow range of wavelengths (Peak Wavelength Value or PWV) upon illumination with broadband light. The PWV shifts in response to changes in mass or cellular interactions in proximity of the biosensor surface. SRU's microplate-based BIND Biosensors are available in 96-, 384-, 384lv- and 1536-well formats with a variety of surface coatings to accommodate a breadth of throughput and application needs. All biosensors are biologically inert and highly resistant to organic solvents including DMSO. Biosensors are compatible with automated liquid handling and conform to SBS standards.
Bare TiO2 biosensors are compatible with both cellular and biochemical applications. They allow for custom coating with any molecule of interest, such as proteins, peptides, antibodies, extracellular matrix proteins or small molecules. BIND Biosensors are also available with pre-coated surfaces for optimized assay performance including streptavidin, aldehyde and extracellular matrix proteins.
Biosensors coated with various densities of pre-activated aldehyde (GA1 and GA3 biosensors) allow for stable immobilization of proteins, peptides and small molecules via primary amine groups. Streptavidin-coated biosensors (SA biosensors) allow immobilization of biotinylated assay components. This group of biosensors as well as bare TiO2 plates, are commonly used in direct and indirect biochemical binding assays.
Additionally, biosensors are available coated with a proprietary mixture of extracellular matrix proteins which promote the association of cells with the biosensor and provide a more physiological environment for cellular assay.

He knows NOTHING about music. He's still living in the 60s and 70s and actually thinks Mountain was a good band. What did they have, like one hit? Ridiculous.
He knows NOTHING about music. He's still living in the 60s and 70s and actually thinks Mountain was a good band. What did they have, like one hit? Ridiculous.
Howard's pretty transparent. Mountain's the greatest because they have a tribe member for lead singer/guitar.
Leslie West is really Leslie Weinstein (I thought Stern hated when they did the old name switch).
Oh ya....and Howard's musical taste is pretty sad all around.
None of them know much about music. Gary called Linda Ronstadt a singer song writer. She didn't write any of her hits. But if you pointed it out to the monkey, I bet he'd argue with you.
I'll give Howard a pass on not being in touch with music, seeing how at age 33 I'm pretty out of touch with today's music, particulalry artists who have emerged in the last 5 years or so.
I will not give Howard a pass, for refusing to check his ego and maybe take in some suggestions for musical guests from his younger staff members. Does anyone think Letterman, Leno, or Lorne Michaels actually listen to any of the acts on their shows?
I hate when he sings.
His "hurdy gurdy man" & "old man" are horrendous!
Remember when Katey Sagal was in and he forced her to listen to his bullshit music?
I think he hit a new low this week when interviewing Avril Lavigne about her teen pop garbage like he was interviewing a musical legend. He seemed floored it only took 15 minutes to write that musical classic "Skater boy" and then was curious about it's deeper meaning.
I regret that I EVER thought Howard knew anything about anything.
His taste in music, movies, TV & women is for shit as we all know...
He said the other day that Grand Funk Railroad was cutting edge
I remember when Howard was screaming about Enuff z nuff back in the day. I knew then that his taste was pure shit.
What ever happened to Nine Inch Nails? They released The Downward Spiral in 1994 and disappeared, Robin
Howard is a "fan" of music of those artists and bands who will do his show.
He can never name one album or a song when put on the spot.
He's fuckin poser and a fraud.
Please don't cock block me on Twitter
Then again what do we expect from someone who has Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus on his IPod? Howard has the taste of a 14 year old girl
peace and love
I hear what you guys are saying but there are a few songs which howchie turned me on to that i've never heard on corporate rock radio. The ones that come to mind are hurdy gurdy man, rise of the crimson king, and bowie's "i'm afraid of americans."
I think if you dig around there's a recording of Gary and Stuttering John arguing about grunge music or something. Anyway in this discussion/argument IIRC they kept referring to "Nirvana's first album" (which they clearly both thought was Nevermind).
I think in Gary's mind to 'be an expert' on something merely means to be able to flap your gums endlessly on the subject.
Yes, this is his new "go to" question, How long did it take you to write that?" he must have asked Avril this like 8 times....because "sk8ter boi" (proper spelling of that all time classic hit) is such a transformative song....asshole.....

"ok for the price"
It looked as if they might be getting ready to do a remodel and BOY ARE THEY IN NEED OF ONE! They had a temporary desk at the front that was very make shift. The lamp shades in the room were torn in a few places and the furniture was pretty scuffed up. The bed was comfortable enough though and i was staying for a short while and sleep was my goal so […] it worked out ok. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Should have been a lot cheaper"
Terrible experience- there was a huge amount of construction happening at this hotel that we not told about prior to booking. There was no reception no breakfast and plastic wrap all over the downstairs floor. Noisy and chaotic. The rooms were dirty and basic. The rooms should not have been so expensive due to all the noise, dust and closures. I will […] not be staying here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Under renovation but great location for shopping"
If your main reason for coming to Gilroy was to shop, then this is a great hotel to stay in. Located next to block D of the premium outlet stores, it allows you to walk to all the stores, and there are over 140 of them. The hotel is under renovation. They are renovating the entire building starting with the lobby and some rooms on the ground floor. […] Work starts at 8am till 5 pm which means that there will be lots of noise so be prepared for this. The hotel management informed us of this and we were asked to sign a form indicating our awareness of this discomfort. Since we spent all day shopping, it did not cause any problem. The rooms are fine although the bathroom is small with the sink located outside the bathroom/ toilet. Not many restaurants around ... Applebee's, McD, but sufficient. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"nice hotel"
Very nice crewHotels.com 真实住客点评
Currently undergoing construction and renovations. Can get loud during the day. Great Wifi internet. Convenient to Gilroy outlets.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Close to Everything!"
It ws a nice room with a view of the outlet mall. There is construction going on of the inside of the hotel. The free breakfast wasn't much of anything. It was jsut grab and go kind of things.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Just so so"
The lady at the front desk that checked us in was very nice, unfortunately I don't recall her name. Parking lot lighting was ok. Hotel is self was in a bit messy due to construction. Elevator was a rough ride & door slammed open & closed. Room wasn't too bad, no bedbugs so that was a good thing. Bathtub spout wouldn't change fully over to the showerhead […] so only got medium pressure. The bathtub itself made so much noise when you stood in it I thought I was going to fall through to the room below. Rates were reasonable & included a small breakfast bar. All in all I would stay there again if I am back in that area. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"just ok"
I think I paid too much for what I got. The carpet like most of these cheap motels was filthy. Breakfast was ok. It would be nice to have boiled eggs. Nothing special about this motel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Over all pretty good"
Very close to outlet stores! Staff was very friendly and nice. Lobby was under remodel so the had a makeshift/ temporary lobby. We noticed on the back of the room card was a coupon for Denny's,which was in the same parking lot! I would go back.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Dingy, cramped, crummy breakfast"
Room was dingy and cramped. So small we had to squeeze past each other. Tiny sink with zero counter space--nowhere to place so much as a toothbrush or a pill bottle. Carpets stained. I could go on....Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"not so great"
the hotel was being remodeled, which made checking in very cramped. the make shift check in desk was next to the elevator and entrance door. we had to wait outside until the family ahead of us could check in. the receptionist was very nice though. the bathroom is very small, the vanity area so small there was no room for the cup, bar of soap, and toothbrush […] on the counter. my rv has a bigger vanity area! the remote to the tv did not work so we had to get out of bed to turn it off. remodel work started early in the morning, so no sleeping in that morning. we were way over charged for this hotel. should have stayed at the hotel down the street. I found out it was cheaper anyway. I won't be staying here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Only half a notch above camping out"
The Hotel was in the middle of construction, the rooms were too small with no closets space. The beds were in need of replacement and the towels were like using sandpaper. I'm sure glad my wife wasn't with me and just a friend because I'd still be hearing about how bad it was. I will not be saying there next year for the Hollister Harley Run.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Room vEry tiny, vEry dark. Water pressure is good tho. Friendly front desk although the hotel is under renovation for a bigger and better reception room. Breakfast is just mad duo of waffle, cereal, yogurt and coffee. Good thing the hotel is next to Denny's where you can get your breakfast instead. Very close to the outlets. Beds so so.. Bathroom very […] disappointing, very tiny. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Family trip"
The hotel was going through construction during our stay, but the staff made sure we were taken care of. They were friendly. Breakfast was basic, waffles, toast, cinnamon rolls, yogurt coffee and cereal. Not the most comfy bed or pillows but nothing is like your own bed. Within walking distance to gilroy outlets and restaurants.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Nice for a night"
Great location, it's just too bad the hotel is under construction..Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Pick a different Hotel"
We picked this hotel from Hotels.com only to find the hotel currently under construction. (not knocking for that as they are trying to IMPROVE). The room was well made. What stood out the most was the patch job on a wall that was not finished, also there was wood putty on the bathroom door. Walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors talking. Finally, […] the part that makes me want to mark them to 1 star - The Pillows on the bed. They were so worn they felt like flattened cotton balls. Couldn't get extra pillows because they didn't have any available. Had to roll a couple of towels up to make a better pillow. Definitely will not get a room here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice hotel with a bad ventilation system"
Waited 15 minutes before a staff member appeared to check me in. The next morning a staff member stated breakfast was not ready but the coffee was. The coffee was lukewarm at best. Staff members just not very friendly. Could not control room temperature. The bath tub made an awful noise during showers.Expedia 真实住客点评
the location is good for my family to stop there but the receptionist was not organized and don't know how to treat guests as they arrived and the motel was under major construction that I wasn't aware of.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good Hotel and reasonable price"
Hotel is very near the outlet stores in Gilroy. They are doing renovation but the rates this week were excellent compared to rates in 2 and 3 star hotels in San Jose. Room is fine. Close to highway so a bit nosier than usual but for me it is fine. Sink had a minor issue but this was resolved quickly.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Under construction..."
It was ok, but I was not notified it was under renovation when we booked. Hallways, foyers, elevators were shabby and dirty. The chair in our room was very worn and dirty. Would not choose this hotel again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good room at an economical rate"
The motel was under renovation when we stayed there. Staff made an effort to give us a room on the highest floor away from the renovation and the noise stopped after certain time. No major impact on us. The room was clean and comfortable for that price and breakfast had a good spread.Expedia 真实住客点评
I am sorry, but we were very disappointed. There was a remodel going on, maybe that was part of the reason. But the bathroom was less than acceptable.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Close to Outlet"
Hotel is located right next to Outlet. Average standardHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Ok stay for one night"
The outside of the hotel was being remodeled but everything was open. Was a decent stay for one night...would not stay more. The room needed remodeling and had a musty smell to it. Had no iron in the room but the front desk had one after calling. Did not get an ironing board with it though. Beds were comfortable but pillows were too soft. Overall was […] an ok stay. Very good location though and would probably stay again because of that. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Clean and Comfortable"
Although there was construction in the front of the hotel, it was easy to get to the lobby through the back entrance. Our rooms were immaculate and the bed/pillows were extremely comfortable. We were informed the hotel was in the process of being completely renovated and I have to agree it needs it. Staff was VERY friendly and accommodating. I would […] definitely recommend this hotel. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

hotel was right next to freeway and outlet mall which turned out to be nice. rooms were clean, breakfast was nice, had mini fridge and microwave. tv's could be updated. beds were comfy.lHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Its okay"
I stay in hotels everyday and although it was adequate and the night desk clerk Richard was great, nice and tried to help us with our reservation etc. We came in after a long day of traveling and work and passed right out when we finally checked in. The morning clerk was a different story. When I woke up I went to the bathroom and noticed that the toilet […] was not cleaned properly(had crusty something on it) as well as the vanity was dirty as well. I took photos on my phone and told the front desk and was told that she personally inspected each of the rooms for cleanliness, so I asked well what happened and she started blaming everyone else even me for not reporting it sooner even after I explained to her what happened. I would probably not stay here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Hotel Experiance"
The hotel was under constrution, however it was fine. The only probelm we had is the pillows sucked. to soft felt like a blanket.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Not bad"
Besides the mix up with my name on my reservation not due to the hotel check in took about an hour! The place is a bit older but none the less was clean and nice. To me personally the bed was so un comfortable :( when all I wanted to do was rest!! Made my back hurt! My husband didn't complain said it was fine. Another thing out shower was clogged water […] would fill up the tub. Not sure if they were aware of that but I did let them know before I checked out. I would stay here again and such a GREAT location next to food & plenty of shopping. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Noise insulation not good."
The motel location is good. Next to Denney's and have discount by showing room key. The breakfast is ok. The noise insulation is not good on 2nd floor. Our room was next to the elevator and heared noise all night. We tried to keep our foot steps light, but still received complain from the frontdesk :-(Hotels.com 真实住客点评

How to protect digitalized works for later prove we've had this and that on that date ?
Example: John Doe wants to protect his works on 2011 to be able to prove in future (let's say 2022) that he has done it in past (2011).
I've read somewhere here (I can't find post) an idea about putting things into external well dated repo, like GitHub (they offer paid private repos).
Do you think is it a good idea ? (My feeling is about using at least two of such)
Maybe just checksums of works ? (Using a few different checksum functions as checksum/hash function might be compromised in future, as it happened to md5)
Any other suggestions about respected services with dated logs, that might be used to prove your authorship for given date ? Or maybe other ways of protection?

So much for taking a break from the rally.
Wall Street started Wednesday in the red, but stocks resumed their march into record territory by the afternoon, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing up 60 points at 15,276.
The S&P also continued its record run, adding 0.5%. The Nasdaq gained 0.3%.
Here are five other highlights from the trading day:
1. U.S. economy humming along, France back in recession: Investors were encouraged by a report that showed home builders' confidence rose in May.
While the housing market continues to improve, other parts of the U.S. economy are still struggling. The Empire State manufacturing survey fell into negative territory in May for the first time since January, surprising economists who were looking for activity to improve. And industrial production dropped more than expected in April.
Separately, the latest Producer Price Index showed the biggest decline since February 2010, signaling that inflation is not a threat.
Meanwhile, France slipped back into recession after a 0.2% decline in first-quarter GDP. Germany's economy expanded by 0.1% during the same period.
"Expectations of a stabilizing eurozone are overdone," said Richard Driver, analyst for Caxton FX in London.
The outlook for China was dampened by economists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. They cut their 2013 growth forecast for China to 7.6%, down from an earlier prediction for 8% growth.
But Japanese stocks continued to rally, with the Nikkei topping 15,000 for the first time in five years Wednesday
Japan has been in the spotlight in recent months as the country pushes forth with its ambitious economic reforms, known as Abenomics. The plan has sent stocks skyrocketing and significantly weakened the yen.
2. Netflix gets an "Arrested Development" boost: Shares of Netflix jumped 4% Wednesday. The stock was a top performer in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100.
While the stock has been hot all year, surging more than 150%, it seems that investors (and subscribers) are eagerly awaiting the return of "Arrested Development." The quirky Fox sitcom went off the air in 2006, but is slated to make its debut on Netflix next week.
3. Gold below $1,400 an ounce: The precious metal's price slid more than 2% Wednesday as the dollar gained ground.
Gold prices are down nearly 20% this year.
4. Macy's beats, boosts dividend: While earnings season is nearly over, results from a few big names continue to trickle in. Macy's stock edged up after the retailer reported a gain in quarterly profit, revenue and same-store sales. Macy's also boosted its quarterly dividend by 25% and announced a $1.5 billion increase to its share buyback plan.
In other earnings news, John Deere posted a better-than-expected profit for the second quarter but shares of the the heavy equipment manufacturer tumbled after it cut its sales forecast for the year.
Cisco shares rose in after-hours trading after the tech company topped earnings and sales forecasts.
5. Google launches music-streaming service: Google kicked off its annual developers' conference Wednesday and unveiled Google Play Music All Access, a paid subscription unlimited music-streaming service.
Shares of the tech giant topped $900 for the first time Wednesday, climbing as high as $916.38. Google's market value also jumped above $300 billion for the first time.

Publication: theday.com
Preston — The Preston Redevelopment Agency will meet Monday with local farmer Allyn Brown, owner of Maple Lane Farms, on an undisclosed development proposal for the former Norwich Hospital property.
Brown is one of four developers who have expressed interest in developing something at the former hospital property. The PRA will hear his proposal behind closed doors during a special meeting Monday, but the time has not yet been set for the meeting.
Brown said Thursday that he could not reveal details of his proposal until he presents it to the PRA and hears members' reactions.
Nugent said Brown approved of the agency releasing his name to the public but not the name of a development firm or the nature of the proposal.
Brown's Maple Lane Farms at 57 Northwest Corner Road has 120 acres of fruit and Christmas trees, with pick-your-own blueberries and raspberries in the summer, apples and pumpkins in the fall and Christmas trees in November and December. The farm also produces Currant Affair black currant juice sold in supermarkets and Living Lettuce hydroponic lettuce sold at local Stop & Shop supermarkets.
In the past, Brown has said he wants to expand the hydroponic operations to include other vegetables. He was looking for a large, flat parcel to build new hydroponic greenhouses.
"I'm glad that there's someone in the region, in particular in the town, who is interested in doing development there," First Selectman Robert Congdon said. "I have no idea what it is until we hear it. I could speculate, but it could be something totally different."
Another undisclosed developer interested in Norwich Hospital has proposed building military housing there.
Currently, the town's zoning regulations for Norwich Hospital do not allow housing at all, but the Planning and Zoning Commission is close to completing draft new regulations that would allow housing as part of other development with certain conditions, Town Planner Kathy Warzecha said.
The commission will hold a public workshop at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Town Hall with the PRA to discuss the plan of conservation and development for the Norwich Hospital property and the proposed revised zoning regulations.
Warzecha said the housing portion of the regulation would create an overlay zone and would allow housing as part of another development. The draft regulation would restrict housing to no more than 30 percent of a proposed development, and at least 15 percent of the housing would need to be deemed affordable. The regulations would be flexible so that a housing developer could work with a commercial developer on a combined project, with no setback or separation requirements, Warzecha said.
The workshop will allow the PRA and the Planning and Zoning Commission to incorporate the Norwich Hospital property — now called Preston Riverwalk — plan of conservation and development into the townwide plan and Preston zoning regulations. Nugent said the hospital plan was developed last year by the PRA with assistance from engineering planning firm Fuss & O'Neill.
Once the hospital plan is complete, the land-use commission will hold a public hearing on the plan and vote on whether or not to adopt it. Then the commission would need to hold a public hearing and adopt the proposed new zoning regulations for the hospital property.
"We support the notion of incorporating this so that the town is operating from one perspective and regulations," Nugent said of the hospital property plan of conservation and development.

Envisioning Emancipation and the urgent question, how should we see people?
ABOVE PHOTO: Envisioning Emancipation (book jacket) image of unknown laundress for the Union Army in Virginia.
By Alice Bernstein
A new book from Temple University Press, published in honor of the Emancipation Proclamation's 150th anniversary, provides an opportunity for everyone to address this urgent question, still raging in America: How should we see other people? That is a question asked by Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the great American philosopher Eli Siegel, and I see it as crucial to understanding slavery, the Civil War, and life in America this very moment.

(Photographer unknown, 1902, Library of Congress)
The book, Envisioning Emancipation: Black Americans and the End of Slavery by historians Deborah Willis and Barbara Krauthamer, is a collection of 150 photographs, some recently discovered and many seen here for the first time. What makes it different from other photographic anthologies is that the images were researched and selected with the aim of giving life to, and a new perspective on, how black people envisioned themselves as they experienced the horrific brutality of slavery, the Civil War, the promise of Emancipation, followed by the Jim Crow backlash.
The words "see" and "envision" are about the visual, primal sense of sight—which the art of photography makes permanent. They are also deeply philosophic words embodying thought. When we say, "I see what you mean," we are talking about understanding. I've learned from Aesthetic Realism that there is nothing more important for us as individuals than to want to know, to see the feelings of people different from ourselves. I respect Dr. Willis and Professor Krauthamer for focusing on the power of photography to encourage depth of thought and understanding of the feelings of other people.
One example is an ambrotype image taken between 1861-1865, of an unknown, thoughtful young woman in a simple yet fashionable dress. Seated in a dignified pose, with her arm resting on a table, she looks directly at the viewer. It is surmised that she is a laundress for the Union Army in Virginia, and that she pinned a small American flag on her dress as a token of gratitude for the army's help in obtaining her freedom. And there is a 1902 photograph of Susie King Taylor who voluntarily nursed wounded Union soldiers for over four years. Taken decades after the war, in this photograph we see her in a nurse's uniform, standing with a bearing of strength, dedication, and proud determination. As she looks out, her eyes also seem to be looking back in time—perhaps with memories of all she had experienced and seen.
PHOTO: African American soldier in Union uniform with wife and two daughters.
(Photographer unknown, 1863-1865, ambrotype, Library of Congress)
Other images that stand out are Rev. Henry Brown in front of the White House, leading Abraham Lincoln's horse, Old Robin, on the day of Lincoln's funeral; an 1876 photo collage of South Carolina's (!) "Radical members of the first legislature after the war," with many black elected officials together with white officials; a family portrait of an African American soldier in Union uniform with his wife and two daughters in stylish hats and coats. Photos of enslaved children, black and white, are juxtaposed with images of these same children after emancipation: healthy, well dressed, and educated. Portraits of interracial families and reunions of former slaves with their loved ones, are also of history.
The authors' scholarship sheds new light on the history of photography and black photographers who emerged during and after the Civil War. These men shared the need and longing in black people to be seen with the humanity and dignity all people deserve, and the resulting photographs make for large emotions of respect in the viewer.
Despite racist attempts through the years to ignore, silence, and expunge historical information about the courage and large achievements of black people, recent decades have brought forth discoveries, "unearthings" showing the past more fully—both the extent of the cruel, miserable, and sick, and the brave, unselfish, and grand.
PHOTO: Studio Portrait of an African American sailor.
(Photographer: Ball and Thomas Photographic Art Gallery, c. 1861-1856, carte-de-visite)
Another reason this book matters is that it provides more evidence of the extent to which black men, women, and children, risked their lives to oppose slavery. On page 92, is a studio portrait, a carte-de-visite of a young African American sailor (I surmise he is about 17) taken between 1861-1865. Dressed in his sailor's uniform, with a carefully rolled neckerchief, he stands on a rug in front of an elegantly painted backdrop of cultivated gardens. He looks thoughtfully at the viewer, one hand on his hip, the other at his side. We learn that about 18,000 African Americans enlisted as sailors during the Civil War, serving in segregated units of formerly enslaved Southern men and black Unionists from the North. Does this description in any way add to, change, deepen, the way you "envision" a black person during the civil war? And how do you think this young man envisioned himself?
The Fight between Contempt and Respect; "our personal civil war"
My interest in the Civil War and the civil rights movement, which led me to this book, is informed by what Aesthetic Realism explains is the biggest fight in every human being: between respect or contempt. I am convinced that this is the knowledge that can end racism. Respect, the desire to know and be fair to the world and people, is the source of all knowledge, all art and science, all honesty and kindness. Contempt—"the addition to self through the lessening of something else," is the cause of every human injustice, from a sneer or sarcastic "put down," to lying, bullying, economic exploitation, shooting up a school or dropping bombs on people. Definitive writing on this subject is in commentaries by Ellen Reiss, in the international periodical The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known. She wrote in #916:
The great cause of the Civil War—despite Southern fakery on the subject—was slavery. And slavery is a form—utter, elemental—of man's seeing man with contempt: it is the epitome of the feeling, You are less; I do not have to see you as real; and I have pleasure looking down on you. The Civil War, with all its deaths, uncertainties, emotions, was essentially a fight between contempt and respect. And the fight, Shall I see the world and people with contempt or respect? is the fight within every individual right now; it is our constant, inward, personal civil war.
This is what the American people need to know and study, as I myself am proud to do, in order to have our own self-respect, and our country sane and kind. Envisioning Emancipation is a valuable way to engage in this study, and that is why I chose to write about it.
Alice Bernstein is a journalist, oral historian of Civil Rights, and author/editor of the books: Aesthetic Realism and the Answer to Racism, and The People of Clarendon County—A Play by Ossie Davis, & the Education that Can End Racism.

It wasn't a "big" story. In fact, the article published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last June received little follow-up and even less attention.
