Rated 2 out of 5 by NonfatLatte Poor Service ruined this visit
My expectations are high as a Platinum member; especially for a resort property. My room was not ready when I arrived and I waited 2.5 hours for it. I was promised I'd be called when it was ready and it did not happen. Consequently, I missed Thanksgiving dinner with my family.
The room service was also unbelievably bad. Staff is amateurish, botching orders and leaving plastic wrap on food and beverages. One time I ordered food for 3 and the service person did not bring a cart. Wanted me to clear the desk. Besides the fact that my work items and PC were on the desk, 3 people couldn't eat at the desk. She acted indignant.
I was amazed at the poor service quality overall

Rated 1 out of 5 by TomD BUGS and unattentive staff!
I have to say I am extremely disappointed with my stay at this resort. I had stayed here before and didn't have any issues however that was quite the opposite this stay. The staff were extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. We had dinner at the bar where the bar staff and manager where more concerned about carrying on conversations amongst themselves than serving the guests. The separate people came up and asked the staff if they needed to order at the bar or if someone would coming to the surrounding tables to take their order. We had a difficult time ordering and we were sitting at the bar as they were generally rude and short. The last straw came when I noticed really little black bugs (the size of fleas) crawling on the bathroom floor. I killed the first few and noticed that more were coming in. I went to the front desk and notified David. After 2 hours of no calls or anyone showing up I noticed the bugs were not just crawling in the bathroom but towards the room as well. I went back down to the front desk and spoke with David again and told him no one showed up. I asked to speak with a manager and was told he was the only one there. I notified him that we would be checking out and called SPG to book a room at another hotel. Any hotel would have worked. SPG called the hotel and 5 minutes later Lisa Mercer called (a manager) and apologized for her staff's response as she had been there since 8:30am. Lisa was very helpful and should be commended for stepping into a situation that David clearly didn't handle correctly and lied about. As a Platinum CEM I've stayed at hotels all over the country and have to say the staff here is the worst that I've ever experienced....except for Lisa.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Yodi This Hotel Needs Improvements
I stayed here 10 months ago and it was a very nice stay. The first room that they gave me was very far away from self parking with a long walk to the car. The car had to be parked out by the spa. They were nice to give me another room. The room was a down grade and did not have cell phone service or internet service. The buffet for breakfast ($15.95) was poor. The bacon was in a pot with 1/8 in. of grease in the bottom, both egg dishes were out, etc. I tried to eat dinner in their 5 star restaurant and was told that I need to make reservations TWO WEEKS in advance. It seems that the locals use it and keep it reserved. Nothing for a guest of the hotel. The staff was excellent but the management was not.

Rated 3 out of 5 by TucRedOne Disappointed
The hotel rooms above the bridge near the lake (the boat path) had an awful sewer smell from the little river where the boat drives. It wafted up to the room so we could not enjoy the balcony. Our refrigerator looked like it had not been cleaned in months (moldy spots) and we got lost several times in the maze of rooms with little to no signage on where you are. For a Five Star resort i was annoyed half the time. The property itself is gorgeous. Very quiet but thin walls. My husband said he wouldn't come back I probably would but would ask for a better location.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hope2play Still My Favorite Starwood Hotel
I cannot tell you the number of Starwood Hotels I have visited in the USA during the last three years. My business sends me out each week to places like Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Seattle, and the list goes on. Sheraton Wild Horse contiues to be my favorite of all USA Starwood hotels!
What the Pima Indians and Starwood have done to create a gorgeous, relaxing, exquisite, almost spiritual retreat is in my option, not matched by any branch hotel I have stayed in.
There is no way to describe Wild Horse Pass in this review. You have to experience it yourself whether it is alone, with a friend or family.
One more thing; what do horses have to do with the hotel? You need to go to find out! They are part of The Wild Horse experience.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kkrohner Money Vacuum... Once youre there, they have you and they push their limits...
I have stayed 25 nights in Starwood properties in Shanghai, Detroit, Phoenix, within the past month.
After a month of travel I took two days to stay at this hotel with my girlfriend for some well needed R & R.
Upon arrival, my SPG status was recognized and I was upgraded to a better view. Upon checkout though, I learned that this upgrade was not complementary and my rate increased by $70/night + taxes.
Also at arrival, I was advised I had complementary internet. Upon Checkout, I was charged $50 and told that SPG Gold does NOT receive complementary wifi. Not correct. I explained I had travelled extensively with SPG, but Billy assured me I was wrong. He did take it off, but I was still wrong.
We also used the equestrian facility, which was wonderful, Roger is fantastic, I highly recommend. Funny thing tho, upon checking out, I was charged for both incoming calls and outgoing call (which was transferred from the hotel operator). SO I pay for the calls to use their service which I am paying for.
We had a couples massage at the SPA, the spa was great, highly recommend.
After the spa, we ordered in room service. We got an equivalent of a $40 Chili's or Applebees meal for $107 including $17.60 service charge. The chicken was $28 for a 1/4 piece of chicken on rice. The Salad was 5 pieces of lettuce. The bread does not come with the meal, but they did bring to us eventually because we complained that no one told us.
Overall, here is my advice. Check your bill. It seems that this is a game. They say its complementary then they charge you to see if you are paying attention. I found higher integrity in China and would have never expected to be treated with this.
Seriously, they pee on your shoes and tell you it's raining.
Also, they double billed my AMEX.
When you call for a manager, they don't have one available, and they will not call you back.
When you complain to Starwood, like I did, they wont record the complaint.
I went through this with Billy at the front desk yesterday, Billy who likes to connect about San Diego Baseball.
This is real, this is a real complaint.
After spending $15-20,000 with SPG in the past month, I think I will be going back to Expedia.
At least I know what I am dealing with there. Not a rouse that we are important but at the end of the day, no one cares about SPG status, only your dollars and cents. Loyalty Smoyalty. Means nothing to them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by neeruamb Hotel Was Average
The Staff were very friendly and helpful which was great as I had never been to that area before. The room was very clean and you could not hear your neighbors which I appreciated. The layout of the hotel is horrible. It takes at least 15 minutes to get from one end of the hotel to the other, where the main parking lot is. The maps provided were not informative so it is easy to get lost. The room key to get into the building from the outside did not open any of the doors, once they became locked, even though the information posted said it would. Although not necessary, it would have been convenient to have a fridge in the room. There were several times we ordered room service, were unable to finish our food, and had to throw it away due to not being able to keep it refrigerated. I don't believe the hotel is worth the price I paid to stay there.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Nick168 Nothing seems to work!
I stayed at this hotel due to a conference. The Internet access was extremely expensive, although I was lucky to have it prepaid which saved me $13 a day (Most roadside motels now have free internet). But it never worked. For three evenings, I spent time on the phone with Technical Support who were never able to get it working. I had to resort to walking down to the lobby each time I wanted to use my computer. The iron did not work (although quickly replaced). The TV remote did not work. The A/C was very noisey. They have a 'green' program similar to many hotels, but this is more of a cost cutting measure. Rather than just keeping your existing towels, they just don't bother with your room at all. Supposedly, you had to put a card on the door if you wanted to partake in this program. I never placed the card on the door and still never had my room serviced. To end on a positive note, every staff member that I had interaction with, was always very positive and attentive.

"All of our character words we were using before are still here, like responsibility and perseverance. ... We're not doing away with Character Education. We are putting it under the umbrella of leadership," supervisor for elementary education Sheena Newman said.
"Leaders for Life: Voyage to Greatness" uses a ship theme and sailing terms to describe character traits. For example, teaching students to be the captain of their ship focuses on setting goals. The voyage to greatness focuses on students taking the lead in projects and assemblies.
Although the program was presented to the Bradley County Board of Education last October, Newman said this is one she has long wanted to implement. In preparation for its implementation, Newman, along with principials and teachers, visited schools with a leadership focus in Alabama and North Carolina.
"It's rare that you see it in the elementary schools — it's usually a middle school, high school thing where you see leadership pieces," Newman said.
The program is designed to prepare students for life beyond school and help them become lifelong leaders in society.
"It's not really a curriculum, it's just a different way of looking at children," Newman said.
Newman said the program works to develop each student's individual talents and give students a leadership role at school. She said the leadership focus incorporates life skills that local businesses and parents have said would be beneficial to students.
"You've got the academic side, you've got character and you've got life skills. So, this program kind of puts them all together," Newman said.
Three elementary schools began working to implement a leadership component last school year. Taylor, Charleston and Park View elementary schools focused on goal setting by having each student keep a notebook of academic and personal goals and their progress toward achieving them.
The school system is also making an effort in the community to educate parents and other community leaders of the new approach. Part of this approach involves mission statements written by the students for their classrooms.
"I think its a powerful thing to let kids write a mission statement for their classroom, and then they sign it," Newman said.
The approach also focuses on students working together well in groups and knowing when they need to lead and when they need to follow.
"I think there are so many things that are not measured on an academic test that are really important," Newman said. "And without this side, without these skills, the character and the life skills, you won't be successful."
The data notebooks, also called Leader Ship logs, will be used at every elementary school next year. In addition to helping students measure their progress, the notebooks will also get parents involved by having them review the books with their children. Parents will also be encouraged to help their children develop leadership skills by giving them opportunities to make decisions.
Newman said she hopes students will also start attending parent-teacher conferences.
"What we are trying to do is give the child more involvement in their education," Newman said.
Newman said the approach also seeks to give students ownership of their learning.
The new leadership approach is also being incorporated into the Accelerated Reading, by encouraging schools to choose a leadership theme for the AR theme.
"I think this has the power to change kids' lives because it builds self-confidence and it gives them skills to speak," Newman said.
Funding to provide each student with a data notebook is being provided through a grant from the Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation.

Perfect little LED for the bedroom.
By Jim
from Queens
Got this little led for my bedroom so I can watch television while the kids monopolize the big screen in the family room. It has a cool viewing angle feature that makes the picture better when you are looking up. So when you are in bed the picture quality is still great.

Patrick Swayze Movies
An athlete practically from birth,
Patrick Swayze
was a football player in high school and then earned a gymnastics scholarship to pay for college. His father had been a dancer/choreographer, and
began to study dance early on, eventually working with the prestigious Harkness and Joffrey Ballet companies. He made his professional debut as a dancer with the lead role of Prince Charming in a traveling company of Disney on Parade, but an old knee injury from his football days threatened to cut his dancing career short at any moment. Hedging his bets,
opened his repertoire up to acting and made the transition to Broadway, landing the role of Danny in the hit musical Grease before heading to Los Angeles to make yet another transition, this time to the screen.
cut his teeth on TV guest appearances, scoring a memorable role as a dying soldier in an episode of
. Finally, he got a role in
Francis Ford Coppola
's youth ensemble film
The Outsiders
(1983), a film of massive critical acclaim and box-office success. Steadily continuing his upward trajectory, he followed
The Outsiders
with the Cold War classic
Red Dawn
(1984) and with the Civil War TV miniseries
North and South
(1985). His real big break came in 1987, however, with a starring role in the hit
Dirty Dancing
. The film gave
the chance to showcase both his acting and dancing abilities and, additionally, he wrote and performed one of the film's songs, "She's Like the Wind," which went on to become a major hit. The role made
an undisputed star, and he scored big again with a tough-guy role in the movie
Road House
, as well as the romantic lead in the supernatural drama
(1990), a box-office smash that ended up grossing more than $200 million.
The '90s had started out for
with a bang, but with so much of his success wrapped up in the films of the 1980s, the actor soon found himself fighting against the mentality that he was out of date. He found iconic roles like surfer Bodhi in the police thriller
Point Break
and even played a drag queen in 1995's
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
, but transitioning into the next phase of his career proved challenging. In 2001,
found a film to help him facilitate this change with the role of twisted self-help guru Jim Cunningham in the dark mystery drama
Donnie Darko
. There was an element of self-parody in
's portrayal of the über-positive, deceptively clean-cut Cunningham, and audiences found the role refreshing. He continued to pick up projects as they appealed to him, appearing in everything from the romantic drama
One Last Dance
to the quirky British comedy
Keeping Mum
Sadly, however, by the late 2000s some upsetting news arrived.
announced to the press in March 2008 that he was suffering from inoperable stage IV pancreatic cancer. The star battled his illness for a reported 20 months, but in the end it took his life. He died at the relatively young age of 57 in September 2009. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

In this two-part cable miniseries based on a novel by Frederick Forsyth (hence the proprietary title), a post-Communist Russia is mired in chaos and confusion. Emerging from the crowd to lead his fellow Russians out of the darkness and into the light is the fabulously popular presidential candidate Igor Komarov (Patrick Bergin). What virtually no one suspects is that Komarov is a ruthlessly dedicated "old liner," who intends to return his homeland to a repressive military dictatorship, using brutal former KGB officer Anotoly Grishin (Annika Peterson) as his "hatchet woman." The only person savvy to what Komarov is up to is former CIA operative Jason Monk (Patrick Swayze), who takes it upon himself to save the new Russia from a horrendous fate -- and, incidentally, to settle a personal score with the beautiful but deadly Grishin. Produced for the Hallmark channel, Frederick Forsyth's Icon debuted on May 30, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Documentarist Christopher Monger's Special Thanks to Roy London profiles famed acting coach London (1943-93), a man with resounding professional success (including a litany of former pupils who graduated to A-list Hollywood triumph), but who remained guarded about his teaching methods and philosophies on acting. In this program, Monger examines London through the eyes of many of the said pupils, including Jeff Goldblum, Hank Azaria, Garry Shandling, Geena Davis and Patrick Swayze. The title, of course, refers to the much-deserved "special thanks" that many of these celebrities have given London in speeches and credits. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This four-hour cable miniseries adaptation of H. Rider Haggard's classic adventure novel King Solomon's Mines dispenses with much of the original story in favor of a standard Indiana Jones-esque melodrama, complete with claim-jumping villains, snarling Russian soldiers, an ancient and deadly curse, and a damsel perpetually in distress. As played by Patrick Swayze, Haggard's hero, celebrated British safari hunter Allan Quartermain, is a born-again conservationist who returns to his former trade only to raise enough money to retain custody of his beloved son. Quatermaine accepts the assignment given him by toothsome Elizabeth Maitland (Alison Doody), to head into darkest Africa in order to rescue Elizabeth's father (John Standing), who had disappeared while searching for the fabled lost gold mines of King Solomon. This time around, the mines harbor another elusive treasure: the mysterious Stone of Power, which functions in much the same manner as the Ark of the Covenant the Indiana Jones pictures. Along for the ride are Quatermain's trusted friend Sir Henry (Ian Roberts), and loyal African guide Umbopa (Sideda Onylulo), who has traditionally been the story's most likeable and admirable character in all previous film and TV adaptations of the novel. The main villain, largely spun from whole cloth for the purposes of the miniseries, is Quatermain's greedy ex-partner Gavin Hood (Bruce McNabb). Debuting June 6, 2004, the two-part King Solomon's Mines posted some of the Hallmark channel's best-ever ratings. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The megalomaniacal rise and fall of filmmaker Troy Duffy is chronicled by one-time friends and colleagues in director Mark Smith's documentary. The film takes its title from the "overnight success" that befell Duffy in 1996, when the then-bartender was signed by Miramax president Harvey Weinstein to direct his killers-on-a-mission-from-God script The Boondock Saints. Smith's cameras follow Duffy from pre-production -- when he battled with executives over casting and financing decisions -- on through to the lackluster release of the film. What's more, Duffy expected his relative cinematic success to translate over to his burgeoning rock band as well -- and the tension created by the presupposed deal caused him to alienate just about everyone involved with both projects. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

In 1975, as the war in Vietnam finally draws to a close, a number of Vietnamese refugees seeking new homes in the United States find themselves housed at the Camp Pendleton Marine base in California, where Sgt. Jim Lance (Patrick Swayze) is put in charge of their care. Lance is a compassionate man who tries to afford the refugees as much dignity and respect as is possible; frustrated by his inability to speak with them directly, Lance strikes up a friendship with Tai (Don Duong), who worked with the U.S. Army as a translator during the war and now wants to settle in America. Tai helps Lance speak with the refugees, and coaches him in conversational Vietnamese. Tai and Lance soon come to realize how much they have in common, and how they are both still coming to terms with the emotional scars inflicted upon them by the war. Tai is looking after his nephew Minh (Trung Nguyen) and niece Anh (Jennifer Tran), who are waiting for their mother to arrive, but Tai is tortured with guilt, convinced he should have given her his seat on the flight to California. Lance, on the other hand, was stationed in America while his brother fought and died in Vietnam, and Lance believes he should have taken his brother's place. Meanwhile, Minh spends his days looking after Anh and wandering the camp; he strikes up a friendship with Addie (Forest Whitaker), a cook at the camp with a passion for art. Together, Addie and Minh try to brighten the refugees' area by creating a large and colorful mural that symbolizes the multicultural America they dream of. Green Dragon was written and directed by Timothy Linh Bui, whose brother Tony Bui helmed the acclaimed drama Three Seasons, which examined life in contemporary Vietnam. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a bright and charming high-school student who also has a dark and willfully eccentric side; he does little to mask his contempt for many of his peers and enjoys challenging the authority of the adults around him. Donnie is also visited on occasion by Frank, a monstrous six-foot rabbit that only Donnie can see who often urges him to perform dangerous and destructive pranks. Late one night, Frank leads Donnie out of his home to inform him that the world will come to an end in less than a month; moments later, the engine of a jet aircraft comes crashing through the ceiling of Donnie's room, making him think there might be something to Frank's prophesies after all. The rest of Donnie's world is only marginally less bizarre, as he finds himself dealing with his confused parents (Mary McDonnell and Holmes Osborne), his college-age sister (Maggie Gyllenhaal), his perplexed analyst (Katherine Ross), a rebellious English teacher (Drew Barrymore), a sleazy self-help expert (Patrick Swayze), and the new girl at school who is attracted by Donnie's quirks (Jena Malone). Donnie Darko was the first feature film from writer and director Richard Kelly; Drew Barrymore, who plays teacher Karen Pomeroy, also lent her support to the project as executive producer. A director's cut played in select theaters on a limited basis in the summer of 2004, featuring original music cues and trimmed scenes originally in Kelly's first cut of the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Truckdriver Jack Crews (Patrick Swayze) fell asleep at the wheel, resulting in an accident that brought him a conviction of vehicular manslaughter and a two-year prison sentence. Minus a license to drive the big rigs, Jack works for a trucking firm as a mechanic to support his wife (Brenda Strong) and daughter (Erin Broderick). His paycheck doesn't cover his overdue mortgage payments, so Jack reluctantly accepts an offer from his new boss Cutler (Graham Beckel) to make $10,000 "off the books" with a no-questions-asked delivery of toilets from Georgia to New Jersey. Jack has doubts after he goes to Georgia to get his rig; Cutler's associate Red (Meat Loaf) gives Jack a driving partner (Randy Travis) and an armed duo (Gabriel Casseus and Brian Vincent). After the four depart, Red orders others to hijack the cargo. A lengthy chase begins -- with various vehicles from motorcycles to 18-wheelers trying to get Jack off the road. After Jack learns his truck is not flush with toilets but instead is filled with a cargo of AK-47s, he phones Cutler to resign, prompting Cutler to take Jack's wife and child as hostages. Jack then moves from neutral to high gear -- with smash-ups and shootouts just around the next curve. The soundtrack includes Rhett Akins' new interpretation of "Drivin' My Life Away" by Eddie Rabbit (who died at the age of 53 during the week this film was released). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

In this offbeat comedy set in the 1950s, Patrick Swayze plays Jack McCloud, a drifter and beatnik who enters the conservative suburban life of the Holman family after Jeanne Holman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) accidentally hits him with her car. Jeanne takes Jack into her home while he recovers from his injuries. McCloud offends the neighbors and friends of the Holmans with his unorthodox behavior, including nude sunbathing and Buddhism. He tells the children, Tom (Joseph Mazzello) and Gunny (Seth Mumy), stories of a genie who has taken the form of a dog. Jeanne and her kids come under his sway as Jack's mystical powers help the kids' Little League team win a big game. Martha Coolidge directed the film from a script by Elizabeth Anderson, based on a short story by Ellen Green. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Patrick Swayze plays Vida Boheme, a classy and long-reigning drag queen. With his understudy Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), Vida wins a New York drag stage contest and an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood. But when Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) cries at having lost the contest, soft-hearted Vida cashes in the airline tickets so the three of them can take a car out West. The film becomes a strange sort of buddy road movie, with the three cross-dressers traveling across the American heartland in a shiny yellow Cadillac. First they tangle with Sheriff Dollard (Chris Penn). He stops them for a minor traffic violation, puts the moves on Vida, and Vida knocks him out, so they flee. Later, they are stranded by car problems in a small town in Nebraska. Renting a room in a hotel, they put some life into the town and its annual strawberry festival. They provide a mousy local woman, Carol Ann (Stockard Channing), with new role models of assertiveness. They also insist on chivalrous treatment from the local good old boys and give lessons on courting to a teenage girl. This film was released on the heels of the more outrageous Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which featured Terence Stamp as a drag queen. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

This ambitious Disney movie uses a remarkable screenplay from Steven L. Bloom and Robert Rodat to tell a rollicking tale of America's transition from a close-to-the-land culture of mythic heroes to a corporate world of real estate tycoons. The strong theme about the decline of folk culture is expressed through a series of high octane adventures experienced by 12-year-old Daniel Hackett (Nick Stahl) at the dawn of the 20th century. Daniel's father, Jonas Hackett (Stephen Lang), runs a farm in a place called Paradise Valley, but his land is coveted by a greedy developer, J.P. Stiles (Scott Glenn). Daniel looks longingly at postcards of New York City while growing increasingly skeptical of his father's tales of legendary folk heroes. Then, through a series of incredible adventures, Daniel meets up with the legends that his father has spoken about -- cowboy Pecos Bill (Patrick Swayze), lumberjack Paul Bunyan (Oliver Platt), and finally, ex-slave and strongman John Henry (Roger Aaron Brown). Each of these heroes hooks up with Daniel and becomes involved in an increasingly bitter and boisterous fight against Stiles, whose plans to buy up land threaten the very strength of the folk heroes and the well-being of the common people. Pecos Bill has a horse named Widowmaker and can lasso a tornado. The giant Bunyan is accompanied by his famous blue ox, Babe. At one point, another legend, the cowgirl Calamity Jane (Catherine O'Hara), joins in the adventures. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Deadbeat dads be damned. Patrick Swayze plays a con man who tries to live up to the ideals of "family values" by kidnapping his son and daughter from the evil clutches of a corrupt orphanage and taking them on a cross-country trip in his vintage convertible. To complicate matters, his daughter has been sexually molested by the head of the orphanage, who fears that she may prosecute if given the opportunity. This family drama is also a zany road movie as the re-united father and children flee the police on a quest to restore their family. ~ Laura Abraham, Rovi

In this drama, a wealthy American doctor learns some important lessons about life in one of the poorest cities on Earth. Max Lowe (Patrick Swayze) is a Houston surgeon who has grown weary of the bureaucracy of American medicine. When he loses a patient on the operating table, Max impulsively decides to leave America and travel to India in the hope of "finding himself." Not long after he arrives in Calcutta, Max is attacked by a group of thugs and left without money or a passport. However, a man named Hasari (Om Puri) comes to Max's rescue. Hasari had left his farming community to come to the city, only to be overwhelmed by its dirt, crime, and overcrowding. Despite their poverty, Hasari and his family take Max in and bring him to a medical clinic in the City of Joy, one of the poorest slums in the city. The clinic is run by Joan Bethel (Pauline Collins), an Irish-American nun who urges Max to use his skills to help the people of Calcutta who so desperately need it. Max signs on, and he finds that the experience changes his life. City of Joy was based on a novel by Dominique Lapierre. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An interesting hybrid of popular film genres, Ghost showcases the talents of its entire cast. While out on the town one evening, New York couple Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore) are confronted by a mugger. After submitting to his demands, Sam is murdered anyway. He then finds himself a disembodied spirit, invisible to the living world, wandering without hope until he finds a spiteful spirit aboard the subway (Vincent Schiavelli) who gives him some helpful pointers on how to co-exist. Soon Sam comes back into contact with those he knew in life, and he begins to learn piece-by-piece of his close friend and co-worker Carl's (Tony Goldwyn) embezzling plot which caused his death; the apparent mugging was, in fact, a premeditated murder. In the meantime, Carl has designs on Molly, and Sam is determined to extract revenge. He contacts a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg), and together, the two set out to serve justice and stop the maniacal Carl from getting to Molly. Blending comedy, romance, action, and horror, Ghost was a box-office smash and managed to garner five Academy Award nominations, including "Best Picture," "Best Supporting Actress" (Goldberg), "Best Original Screenplay," "Best Editing," and "Best Score"; Goldberg won her first Oscar. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Last week, Scott Charney testified at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. The hearing was about the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which is Congress's first comprehensive legislation aimed at improving cybersecurity across the United States. His full testimony is available here.
This legislation is an important milestone in the U.S. Congress' sustained engagement on the topic of cybersecurity and an advancement in the national discussion on how to better secure the information infrastructure of the United States. These legislative proposals provide a risk-based framework intended to improve the security of government and certain critical infrastructure systems and establish an appropriate baseline to address current threats.
Scott's testimony began with a brief discussion of the transformative effect of the Internet, as well as the challenges facing policymakers.

Consumer trust is vital to the growth of a vibrant Internet, and respect for privacy – putting people first – is essential to earning and maintaining that trust. Today's release by the White House of their framework signifies an important milestone in the evolution of privacy interests of Americans and individuals around the world.
The Administration's policy promotes an environment of transparency and meaningful privacy choices. Further, we are hopeful that the policy's establishment of a robust stakeholder dialogue will lead to more specific solutions and help overcome challenges faster. We support the Administration in this effort.
Microsoft views today's announcement as essential to a comprehensive approach to privacy that includes federal privacy legislation, technology tools for consumers, effective self-regulation, and all stakeholders working together on initiatives to improve privacy practices.

Earlier today, Microsoft filed a formal competition law complaint with the European Commission (EC) against Motorola Mobility and Google. We have taken this step because Motorola is attempting to block sales of Windows PCs, our Xbox game console and other products. Their offense? These products enable people to view videos on the Web and to connect wirelessly to the Internet using industry standards.
You probably take for granted that you can view videos on your smartphone, tablet, PC, or DVD/Blu-ray player and connect to the Internet without being tied to a cable. That works because the industry came together years ago to define common technical standards that every firm can use to build compatible products for video and Wi-Fi. Motorola and all the other firms that contributed to these standards also made a promise to one another: that if they had any patents essential to the standards, they would make their patents available on fair and reasonable terms, and would not use them to block competitors from shipping their products.
Motorola has broken its promise. Motorola is on a path to use standard essential patents to kill video on the Web, and Google as its new owner doesn't seem to be willing to change course.

Accountability has been a globally recognized principle of privacy and data protection for more than three decades. But in the past few years, an important effort has been under way to clearly delineate what accountability—and the related concept of responsibility—means for organizations that collect, store and process information.
To help advance this critical conversation, today we are publishing an accountability-based analysis of Microsoft's privacy program. We are releasing the paper to coincide with meetings at the European Parliament in Brussels this week of The Accountability Project co-hosted by the Centre for Information Policy Leadership and the European Data Protection Supervisor as part of a global Accountability Project.

Today is UNESCO's International Mother Language Day, and as we celebrate language diversity, we have a chance to reflect on the role Microsoft plays in the preservation of language and culture.
Our goal for more than 30 years has been to bring technology into the hands of more citizens around the world. However, with 7 billion people in the world speaking countless various languages, bringing technology to all their homes is a challenge, but one that Microsoft's Local Language Program is working hard to surmount.
The Local Language Program focuses on developing and tailoring Microsoft products to grant minority language speakers similar access to technology as someone speaking a mainstream language. Consider Spain, a country with more than 47 million citizens and five languages. Seventy-four percent of the population speaks Castilian Spanish, but 26 percent speak Valencian, Basque, Catalan or Galician. In a modern world ripe with technology, these precious languages – symbols of culture and heritage – could be lost forever.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
Arthur Henry Hallam, the son of a famous historian, was born in London on February 1, 1811. He spent the summer of 1818 abroad with his father, Henry, learning French. After two years of preparatory school at Putney, Hallam again traveled throughout the summer and then entered Eton, remaining for five years. While there, he was an active participant in debates on issues such as Catholic emancipation, the disarming of the Highlanders after Culloden, the merits of Thomas Jefferson, John Milton's political conduct, ancient versus modern writers, the character of Augustus, Greek accomplishments in history and drama, and many similar topics. Hallam left Eton, properly confirmed, in July, 1827, and then went on to Italy, where he remained for nine important months. Returning to England by way of Switzerland, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in October, 1828, and was soon recognized as an erratic but brilliant student who was already showing promise as a poet. In April, 1829, Hallam met Tennyson, thereby beginning the most eloquently celebrated friendship in English literature, and incidentally inviting a comparison of poetic talents that has never been to Hallam's advantage.
On May 9, 1829, Hallam was elected to membership in the Apostles, a debating society at Cambridge that included most of those whose fellowship and intellectual stimulation would be important to him, including Tennyson, for a time. Though Tennyson was relatively indifferent to the...

Who's Going to Pay For New FDA Fees? Join The Club Taxpayers!
Tags: america, examination, FDA, federal register, food, food and drug administration, food safety, import alerts, imports, markets, notice, petition, prices, re-examination, shipment, tax dollars, taxes, taxpayer, united states
On October 1st, 2011, FDA will implement a new fee/examination structure that will radically affect the cost of food importing, food prices and the overall burden on taxpayers. This new structure (tax) will require every significant food import with a questionable food safety issue to be "examined" by FDA and then undergo an expensive re-examination process in order for that shipment to be released; Even if there was no problem with the shipment whatsoever. The reason is because FDA is cleverly defining the first "free examination" as merely data-retrieval. It's not an examination at all. The real examination … READ MORE

When You are Near, Music is all Around
I just finished watching the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special. What a delight. The song at the end of the episode is what led me to write this entry. It was very powerful to me. This year's Christmas Special was a spin on the ol' A Christmas Carol.
Amy Pond and Rory are in tow and yet another excellent episode. I can't wait for the next season in 2011.

What is UX? User Experience (UX) is the quality of experience that a person has when interacting with a specific design (product, system or service).
Why is it relevant? We live in a world where the border between products and surroundings is blurred and services represent between 60% & 70 % of GDP of most of the industrialized nations.
No matter what product/service we consider, today's customers are active participants and in many cases co-protagonists. Today, the whole experience - before, during or after the actual "selling" - counts.
In this new world, every company, whether it likes it or not, becomes first and foremost a service provider. The unfinished relation between the offers and the public, is played through numerous "touch points" (digital, physical, mixed), raising the relevance of the design of touch point as a critical aspect of every business.
Why PHI? Publicis Healthware International has combined the skills of multiple disciplines - including engineering, marketing (including SEO), graphical and industrial design, as well as interface design- into a global UX team, which today is probably the most advanced of its kind in the digital healthcare space today.
What do we do? Together with the strategy team, UX talents understand your business and build scenarios, storyboards, concepts, maps, infographics, wireframes, prototypes, manuals and every design deliverable needed for the successful delivery of your project.

Led by opening remarks by Pen Bay president and CEO Wade Johnson, the first ground breakers included Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation chair Joanne Billington and lead donors: Ann Bresnahan, Greg Dufour representing Camden National Bank, Dyke Messler, Brenda Gagnon representing the Bob Gagnon Cancer Fund and Linda Bean.
Community members review Hospice House plans.
Following a ground breaking by representatives from the Town of Rockport and the Pen Bay board of trustees, Ms. Billington invited audience members to join her in "turning a spadeful of earth to welcome this new facility and the next leg of this journey with each other, together, side by side."
Conceived of in 2003 to increase the available options for end of life care, the House will be built with patients' and families' needs in mind. This will be the third free-standing house of its kind in the state and will serve the communities of Central and Midcoast Maine. The planned opening date is targeted for July 2014.

SVE addition moves forward
SPRING VALLEY — It was a game of dueling engineers Wednesday night at the Spring Valley Elementary School Board meeting as board member and civil engineer Jack Kusek and JFK addition civil engineer Don Defrates volleyed back and forth on each of their plans for parking and student dropoff.
"It's one of the loose ends," architect Bill Van Dusen said.
Before the district can release the plans for the addition to go out for bid, the board members need to make a decision on the parking lot layout.

Was the Obama convention bounce -- Much of the made this past week about the president's lead in the polls and pundits on both the left and the right.
Suggesting that Republican rival Mitt Romney is headed towards certain defeat but GOP pollster whit Ayers.
Has taken a closer look at the numbers and he sees something else so welcome back to the program.
With good to see you again.
-- great to be with you so let's take that question first about the bounce.
Has -- -- This rush to judgment.
Is truly breathtaking.
There's so many people who basically declared the Mitt Romney campaign over.
Six weeks before the election before four debates before October jobs report.
I think if you really want to get a sense of where this -- is all you need to forget the headlines and look at the date.
There a number of good web sites that aggregate the data -- real clear politics right pollster dot com.
If you do that what you'll discover is that the Obama lead over Romney in June -- an average of all polls was 2.3 percent.
In July was 2.5.
In August it was 2.4.
And in September so far it's somewhere between 2.5 and three depending on the day you look.
So essentially this race is no different now than it was throughout the summer -- campaign that everybody's declared the campaign over.
OK but explain something to I think viewers who are looking at the -- these media polls on many media polls about the pew poll the Wall Street Journal NBC poll.
And they show Romney behind by 45 sometimes seven percentage points.
-- the Gallup poll is now essentially tied how do you explain that contradiction to Gallup poll is one that's been doing this for decades.
And and tracks -- on a daily basis.
A lot of the difference in these polls -- is in the Democrat vs Republican balance in the sample.
In 2008.
According to exit polls that were seven points more Democrats in the electorate.
Than Republicans but in 2010.
There was no difference in 2004.
There was no difference so a lot of the difference in these polls depends upon what you assume the electorate will look like.
Many of the polls with the biggest lead for Obama.
Are counting on the 2008.
Plus seven democratic ballot which is a big I don't think that's gonna happen that's a big gap I don't think it's gonna happen it's never happened before in the last fourteen years so do you follow Gallup.
Or do you think that that average of the polls like the real clear politics average -- the right which is the best -- to look at.
For people really care about this on a daily basis.
I think the best number to look at is the average of credible professionally done polls and you've mentioned several of them right now.
But if you take a look at the average of those -- you even out some of the sampling differences and I think it's fair to say right now.
President Obama is ahead.
By somewhere around 3% 3% it went the other thing that's been happening if you look at the data is at the president's approval rating.
Who has been creeping up it's now in some polls 4950%.
Not too far pretty close to where was with George W.
Bush in 2004 when he later won reelection that is in November when when he was creeping up to 4950.
In September.
Is that -- a very important number to watch.
Yes it is present Obama is right on the -- He is well below the job approval ratings of Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan when they were reelected.
But well above the approval ratings of bush 41 and Jimmy Carter when they lost so he's right on the -- Another good number to look at is how satisfied.
People are in this country according to Gallup.
Are dissatisfied.
Now rats down from 77%.
But we've gone from absolutely terrible to just really really -- That is not something the president can count so that I assume that that gives an opening for Mitt Romney to be able to make up that three point average gap what are the other bright spots in the data for Romney if you're trying to say OK how can make up this -- The bright spots are that people are still focused almost exclusively.
On the economy and who can get this economy going we've seen how in the middle.
But people out there in real America -- totally focused on who can get this economy going they're scared they're open.
To Mitt Romney he hasn't yet made the -- and making the sale does that mean being specific about his economic plan because I've had this view that.
People are looking for somebody who not just gonna make general promises -- criticized the current president -- say look here's how I'm going to improve.
Your lives and improve the economy does he have to do -- -- with some specificity.
He has to -- a compelling vision.
And being very persuasive.
-- he knows how to fix it.
I don't know that he needs 57 specifically point a couple of three but I do.
I do think he needs three or four or five but he needs to put some meat on the bones -- -- a compelling comprehensive vision.
For how he knows how to fix.
This problem because Barack Obama has clearly not fixed right winners thanks so much for being -- telling us where the race really --

Get ready to pony up more paperwork ... and fees ... to register your airplane, and do it on a regular basis. The FAA has finalized a plan to require re-registration of all civil aircraft over the next three years, with renewal every three years after that. The FAA says the move will create a more accurate aircraft registration database,
The rule establishes specific expiration dates over a three-year period for all aircraft registered before Oct. 1, 2010, and requires re-registration of those aircraft according to a specific schedule. All aircraft registration certificates issued on or after Oct. 1, 2010 will be good for three years with the expiration date clearly shown.
"These improvements will give us more up-to-date registration data and better information about the state of the aviation industry," said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt.
Current regulations require owners to report the sale of an aircraft, the scrapping or destruction of an aircraft, or a change in mailing address, but many owners have not complied with those requirements.
Re-registration of all U.S. civil aircraft by Dec. 31, 2013 will enhance the database with current data derived from recent contact with aircraft owners. The new regulations also will ensure that aircraft owners give the FAA fresh information at least once every three years when they renew their registration. The FAA will cancel the N-numbers of aircraft that are not re-registered or renewed.
The NPRM had proposed a $5.00 re-registration and renewal fee. This is a new and recurring fee which matches the current registration fee, even though it is less than the estimated direct cost of processing re-registration and renewal actions. The FAA Reauthorization bill (H.R. 915), if enacted as passed by the House of Representatives on May 21, 2009, will provide the authority to increase registration-related fees. The projected fees are higher than current fees but reflect only the direct and applicable indirect unit costs of the FAA Registry's Aircraft Registration Branch. The $130 registration fee projected in the legislation would not apply as the fee for re-registration or renewal. If estimated by the same method used for the reauthorization bill, the fee for re-registration and renewal would be about $45. The FAA says that neither the reauthorization bill, nor the NPRM, proposed a registration fee that includes a tax, user fee, or charge to generate revenue for purposes other than maintaining an accurate aircraft registration database.
Re-registration and registration expiration Certificate issued (Any year) Certificate expires Re-registration required. The schedule for re-registration and registration expiration is:

New Online Program Addresses Nationwide Shortage of Health Care Professionals
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nebraska Methodist College is proud to announce its newest degree program - the Doctor of Nursing Practice. The new online program is Nebraska Methodist College's first doctorate degree and will prepare nurses to meet the demands of an increasingly complex health care system.
Nebraska Methodist College's Doctor of Nursing Practice has an emphasis in family nurse practice, an area of especially high need in rural parts of the country. Family nurse practitioners are a type of advanced practice nurse specializing in managing acute and chronic illnesses for patients of all ages in a non-hospital setting. Family nurse practitioners are needed in Nebraska and across the country to serve as primary care providers. Currently, there is a shortage of general practice physicians. Also, as a result of the Affordable Care Act, more nurses with this degree will be needed in the workforce in order to meet demand from the millions of people newly eligible for care.
"We are delighted to announce our new Doctor of Nursing Practice degree," said Nebraska Methodist College President and CEO Dennis Joslin, PhD, RN. "Nurses with this degree will have a broader range of capabilities and be an important asset to their communities, especially in underserved rural areas."
As a result of its online format, Nebraska Methodist College's Doctor of Nursing Practice is accessible to nurses nationwide, including those in underserved areas. The program blends online learning and clinical interaction, and includes an on campus orientation and two, short summer sessions during the program. The program is designed for nurses who have completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN). Nurses who have a Master of Science degree in Nursing (MSN) are also eligible and may receive credit for previously completed courses.
The new doctoral program underscores Nebraska Methodist College's continued rapid growth. The college now offers 27 degree and certificate programs on campus and online in nursing, allied health and health professions. Nebraska Methodist College's overall enrollment has grown more than 50 percent in the past five years to a student population of nearly 1,000.
Nebraska Methodist College is currently accepting enrollment applications for the Doctor of Nursing Practice program for the fall 2014 semester. For more information about Nebraska Methodist College and its offerings, visit www.methodistcollege.edu.
