Coming to -- from Sioux Falls, South Dakota is one of Mitt Romney's earliest supporters and a name that many suggests would fit nicely on the Republicans when he twelve -- Senator John -- welcome back to FOX News Sunday.
Good morning -- All right we'll get back to the ticket in just a minute but before the break you may have heard us talking with senator Feinstein about the situation JPMorgan losing two billion dollars this week.
On credit derivatives now you voted against the -- frank -- -- signed on to repeal of that bill.
Senator Feinstein is among those who think it was fully enacted and it the regulations have been fully enacted it would have prevented a situation like this.
So -- and Washington power regulators to get more involved.
First up I don't think we know all all the facts about.
This was something that was detected by the company but -- -- Morgan Chase's.
It is a company that has been well respected in the industry.
The whole issue -- Dodd-Frank impacts -- not just systemically risky institutions.
But also a lot of community banks across South Dakota which is why.
I voted against it that piles lots of compliance burdens on smaller banks across this country.
But I think with respect to federally insured systemically risky institutions like the big banks.
It is important that we make sure that we've got some good safeguards in place.
But that we do it in a way that doesn't impair or limit their ability to mitigate.
Risk -- two -- to protect themselves.
And their balance sheets as well so I think this issue is something that will be talked about probably four for some days.
Ahead here but at least for right now I think we need to make sure we've got all the facts in before we jump to any conclusions about the need for.
Greater -- further regulation.
A dot frank was a sweeping far reaching regulation.
Much of which is still trying to be interpreted by the regulators and I think we need to give them an opportunity to do that job.
Before we reach any conclusions about that moving forward with additional regulations.
Which could make it more difficult for financial institutions.
To do their jobs.
Right let's turn to another big headline this -- gay marriage the president now saying he does support.
And the right of gay couples to get married.
-- give you a look at a poll from USA today Gallup that was taken after the president's announcement it shows 51% of Americans approve of his position compared to 45% say they disapprove.
13% of those surveyed say that his announcement will make them more likely to vote for him.
He also had this to say at a fund raiser this week quote it was a logical extension of what America is supposed to be.
Are we a country that includes everybody and gives everybody a shot and treats everybody fairly.
Are we welcoming to people who are not like -- When asked about -- Romney you endorsed him early on he's clearly in favor of marriage between one woman one -- and how does he address these concerns.
So that he isn't portrayed as being unfair or and welcoming to his fellow Americans.
I just think that for the this is this is an issue channel which there is great difference in and and the definition like so many other issues on this campaign.
I think that governor Romney's positions been very clear from the time he was governor of Massachusetts.
It's not something that hasn't changed the president obviously has changed his position more the -- from the time he was a state senator this time is running for federal office.
To what we heard this last week.
And I think -- that the view the governor Romney holds on traditional marriages of view that's held by.
A lot of people across this country there are more than thirty states -- either by statute or constitutional amendment have defined marriage as being between.
A man and a woman but that's one of many issues -- that's going to be discussed during the course of this campaign.
In one of many differences with the biggest difference I think is the view that the president has -- the governor Romney has with respect.
To how to fix the economy how do we get the economy going again how do we get people back to work.
And and to me that's the issue that's on the minds of most Americans -- if you look at the economy that that the economic record that this president has.
You've got 39 straight months now of more than 8% unemployment you've got massive amounts of debt.
You have fuel prices that have doubled health insurance costs have gone up 2.5 percent college tuitions gone up 25%.
The old that's the economic record that I think most people are gonna judge -- president by after three and a half years.
Governor Romney obviously has a very different view about how to lead this country one that's based on.
The power of freedom as opposed to the power of government.
And I think that's gonna be that the bright line that.
The delineate some defines these two candidacies as we head into the November elections and the issue that I think is gonna is gonna -- most Americans.
To come out in support governor Romney.
Well the president's -- finger -- congress he says you guys are getting anything done on the economy specifically he says Republican policies are behind the sputtering economy so he's giving you.
A to do list here's part of his weekly address this.
We tried other ideas for nearly a decade.
And it didn't work out -- We can't go back to the same policies that got us into this mess we've got to move forward.
Right the first item of the president's to do list for congress involves tax credits for companies to help encourage them to move back to the US.
Offsetting that by cutting the tax breaks and incentives that companies get to cover costs of moving overseas now and -- Republican colleague senator Chuck Grassley said.
Republicans probably wouldn't go along with the second part of that of cutting the tax breaks.
That help those who are moving businesses out of the US why not -- We'll look at me I -- just a question I think you have to ask Shannon in in response to the president's speech last week is nowhere was this three and a half years ago he's had three and a half years.
To put prescriptions in place that would get the economy back on track all of a sudden now at the eleventh hour he comes out with -- to do list for congress.
Frankly it's many of his policies that have gotten us into this ditch.
And and we need to get out of the ditch in the way to get out of the ditch isn't to double down on the things that he's already done.
This has been the most massive expansion of government that we've seen literally in the last half century.
And we need a very different vision for the future this country it starts with the ending some of the policies this presence put in place.
Which is why we came out with -- to stop what he had to to do list for congress.
In in -- -- -- looking to stop these job killing regulations that are strangling small businesses you need to.
-- proposing tax increases they're gonna make it more difficult it more expensive.
For small businesses to create jobs stop blocking the Keystone Pipeline which would help end our dependence on foreign sources of energy and put people to work.
In this country and stop this divisive class warfare rhetoric.
Which is so counterproductive when we're talking about trying to grow the economy create jobs I think the president's ideas that they're all fine and good.
Most number sort of a rehash of things we've heard before but more importantly where -- he began for the last three and a half years.
And we still got is -- 1039 months consecutive months now.
Of unemployment above 8%.
Record amounts of debt record amounts of spending record amounts of expansion.
Of government.
At a time when we ought to be trying to create jobs in the private economy.
That is that is the Obama economy in the Obama record -- why I think governor Romney has such a great opportunity to make a different case the American people.
About a different direction for this country.
The White House the president -- -- say Republicans are obstructionists that's part of the reason that nothing is getting done on Capitol Hill sits at that point I wanna talk to you.
About a primary election this week involving a Republican senator Richard -- he was defeated in his primary by -- Tea Party backed challenger Richard Murdoch.
Following his defeat senator -- released a very lengthy statement criticizing Murdoch's quote un -- partisan mindset.
And predicted that if he's elected he won't get anything done.
-- a hard right candidate considered.
In that November election do you worry about losing that Indiana seat in the fall.
I don't I think he he's gonna win and he's he's somebody -- run statewide.
What we're we're very confident about our prospects in the state of Indiana.
And our prospects around the country for many of the reasons I just mention I think people in this country.
Are voting on the economy and on jobs.
And what they see in the United States senate and today led by Democrats is something that you mentioned earlier and that is the fact that we haven't passed a budget in three years.
It's it's become very dysfunctional and -- more recently a place where.
The presidential campaign is sort of been litigated -- sort of move the presidential campaign for the for the United States that we continue to have votes.
They're about nothing but political messaging.
Talking about the Buffett tax rule this last week about -- the interest rate on student loans which we all would agree needs to be addressed but they wanna do it.
In a way that that Republicans can't support.
-- sold at the for the United States senate the reason it's not functioning today.
Is because it's been converted into something that's about political gimmicks rather than about solving problems.
And I think that the people who are running across the country including mr.
Murdoch are talking about spending they're talking about debt they're talking about jobs are talking about the economy.
Which are all things that are on the hearts and minds of the American people and we need people to come to Washington who -- serious about addressing.
Those challenges many of us the United States senate would welcome the opportunity to be able to vote on a budget that actually does something about entitlement reform does something about tax reform.
Deals with these big.
A fundamental challenges but frankly.
And that's not happening today and I hope we get an infusion of new people in November who help us retake the majority the United States senate.
Help us set an agenda that we'll take this in a different direction for the future this country.
In work I hope with a Republican president who is intent.
On solving and fixing problems rather than just running for reelection in using campaign gimmicks to distract people from his second.
-- -- record well here's -- senate majority leader Harry Reid said about the proposition of Murdoch coming to Capitol Hill.
He criticized the far right Tea Party wing of the senate and said.
Now that's what we need in the senate more people who are willing to do nothing but bytes is there room for compromise in the US senate today.
Of course there is and that's what the and that's what we've we're going to have to bring the two sides together but we have to recognize and define what the problem isn't.
The Democrats in the senate seem to believe that the problem is that we don't have enough revenue Republicans believe the problem is that we spend too much.
And that the way that you get people back to work and grow the economy.
Is to empower.
Small businesses in the private economy make it less expensive less difficult for people in the private economy create jobs in what we've seen out of the president and his allies in congress.
Is it that you know they -- their desire seems to can be to continue to grow and expand.
The size of the government.
And I think that we have to recognize that what we have fundamentally first is a spending problem we are spending more as a percentage of our entire economy today almost point 5%.
Then we spend it any time since the end of World War II.
This is a spending problem we have to acknowledge that we have to recognize it was driving spending Medicare Medicaid Social Security food stamps.
The mandatory part of the of the budget.
Is really what has to be addressed and we're gonna say programs like Social Security Medicare we have to reform them and get them on a trajectory.
That will put us on a more sustainable fiscal path.
That really is the way that we're gonna get this economy and this country back on track.
And in in our fiscal house in order and I think that's.
That's what a lot of these candidates across the country are talking about there is room for compromise for negotiation the United States senate.
But we have to recognize it fundamentally we have a spending problem not a revenue problem in this country and and that's what's got to be addressed and we're hoping to get some some leadership.
Out of the White House and that's why many of -- are working so hard.
To get governor Romney elected.
We did endorse him very early on back in November before there was a single primary vote cast.
Here's what one political expert says about you he's got solid unquestionable conservative credentials -- Ronnie is perceived by many conservatives as not conservative enough.
It's a good move for -- to have -- on his side so they balance each other out pretty well when they also make a good ticket senator.
Well look you know the that the big now the governor Romney is is the nominee going to be the nominee of our party he and his team have put in place -- process whereby they will look at.
Various people I've I've I have high level of confidence I've seen him his organization he.
He puts really good people around him.
They'll have a number of good people to choose from.
What -- said and I mean this sincerely is that respect that process but.
I want to work with the president Shannon who is serious about solving this country's problems in getting us back on the right track we can't stay on the track.
There were on right now or we are headed toward Europe.
And and that's why we need a new president and I hope that we can get a majority in the senate to work with them.
To really focus on solving these problems I hope to be a partner with AA president Romney and his administration.
In the United States senate.
To get serious about -- this country back on track -- toward they're growing the economy creating jobs but getting spending and debt under control.
If -- Colin said you were the one who could make that happen by being the number two would you say yes -- now.
Well look I don't think you ever you never rule out opportunities are options when you're involved in public life and you say you want to make a difference if you're serious about that obviously.
You don't -- four -- options.
But in my view I have a job to do the United States senate I like what I'm doing.
I think I can make a difference there and I think working with a Republican president that we can do some really good things for this country.
And so that's that's my job that's a job I have I don't aspire to do anything else obviously the the Romney -- team his campaign team are -- very carefully vet.
Some -- that they are looking at we've got a lot of good options out there.
And I just hope to be able to contribute some way to the success of this ticket this fall.
And not only for the presidency but as I said in the United States senate where I think a lot of battles are going to be fought in the years ahead if we can get.
Some new leadership in this country that will -- into these problems and not run away from them try to distract.
By talking about all kinds of issues that really have nothing to do with what's.
What's really -- this country in what needs to be fixed if we're gonna create a brighter future for four children grandchildren.
I let's talk about another potential match -- they could but she head to head with President Obama.
No secret around town -- quite an athlete we actually have some footage of you playing any tournaments and basketball charity tournament at Georgetown.
We're gonna watches you drain one all right so if you and President Obama went one on one when it.
Well I think the president's got a pretty good game Shannon but frankly I'm still waiting for my invitation to play with them haven't received -- yet.
I don't think that's coming anytime soon but would welcome the opportunity as always to -- to -- -- up.
And obviously to be a great privilege to play with the president the United States -- I keep us posted senator -- thank you so much for taking the time to be with us today.
Thanks integrated with you.

After looking at several styles of vanities, we decided on this one for my daughter's third birthday. I am glad we went with this one. It is super cute and I like that it has some interactive features with the lights and sounds to keep her entertained. The mirror is not terrible, but it could be better. You can definitely see yourself clearly in it, but it is slightly distorted. It is definitely good enough for my 3 year old to see herself in and play dress up. The stool is small and I would not recommend this for a child older than 5, or a very tall child, but for a toddler it is perfect. It was very easy to assemble and did not require any tools (except a screwdriver for installing the batteries). It has two little drawers in front that are nice for holding little brushes and things. We also got her a toy hair dryer and curling iron so she can pretend like mommy. She really likes it. I think she will get a couple of years use out of it and then we will have to upgrade her to a bigger wooden set when she is a little older.

This vaniety is very small with a tiny stool. My 5 year old got it as a gift for Christmas and since it has princesses on it she loves it but she has to stand up and the top is so small she can barely put anything on top of it. Very light weight and tips easy so we put it against the wall and anchored it. If this had not been a gift from the family already opened and assembled I would have taken it back.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about Creative Designs Disney Princess Cinderella Carriage Vanity:
My daughter is 6 now, she got this last year. She's very tall for her age. She adores this. Not only does she see it as a decoration for her room, but she will sit there and give herself make overs as well as her little sister. This is her all time favorite toy. My only complaint is the stool could've been better.It is sturdy, and it doesn't fall apart easily. But she takes good care of her things and isn't rough with them.

We bought this for our 3 year-old. I assembled it in 5 minutes with a 3 month-old sitting in my lap! Packaged well, and easy instructions. My daughter loves it and it sings to her. Only negative would be the price is high for a plastic vanity. Just remember you are purchasing a toy and she will outgrow this in a couple of years! A+ for adorable!

Caristiona is a setting for small orchestra of the song of the same name from Kennedy-Frasers second volume. Caristiona is noted as collected by Frances Tolmie with words collected by Kenneth Macleod, and Bantock prefaces his score with Macleods summary of the story.
The Lady of Clanranald sat on the shore of Moydart watching the setting sun, and as she watched, she saw with the keen eye of a mothers love and a mothers pain, two ships sailing through the Western Sea. From the one, though sailing seaward, came the sounds of harping and of song, and of a brides laugh that was sweeter than both while from the mast-top waved the Clanranald badge, a spray of purple heather, fresh with the bloom of the hillside. From the other ship, though sailing homeward, came the sound of the croon and the keening for the dead the bride of yesterday the one-no-more of tonight while from the mast-top drooped and withered a spray of purple heather.
Behind the Bens of Rûm the sun had set, but the Lady of Clanranald sat on the shore of Moydart, wailing a mothers wound to the night and the sea.
O Caristiona answer my cry
No answer tonight the wound! The wound!
But only the night-hag answered, and the far-away keening of the western sea.
Bantocks manuscript is dated Birmingham 28 November 1920, but was later revised and re-orchestrated in January 1944, with Bantocks orchestral setting of The Sea Reivers, as Two Hebridean Sea Poems in response to Sir Henry Woods invitation for a work for the 1944 Proms. Here we play the original version for a small orchestra of double wind, four horns, trumpet, harp, percussion and strings.

Welcome to the Washington State Department of Transportation WSDOT disparity study homepage. This page provides information about:
Please make use of the informational links that can be found on the sidebar to the left. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program disparity study now onlineDisparity Study - Executive Summary (pdf 350 kb) Disparity Study - Final Report (pdf 9,535 kb) WSDOT to host public meetings across the state in June 2013. See materials that the study team presented during the public meetings (pdf 716 kb).Please submit your written comments regarding the overall DBE goal options contained within the study to email@example.com or mail to Office of Equal Opportunity, PO Box 47314, Olympia, WA 98504-7314 by July 15, 2013.
WSDOT receives funds from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) to build, operate, and maintain the state's various transportation systems. Because WSDOT receives USDOT funds, it must implement the Federal DBE Program. The program is designed to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts in the Department's highway, transit, airport, and highway safety financial assistance programs. The goals of the program are to remedy past and current discrimination against disadvantaged business enterprises, ensure a "level playing field" in which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts, improve the flexibility and efficiency of the DBE program, and reduce burdens on small businesses.
The study kicked off in December 2011 and was completed in December 2012 (see links above for the Executive Summary and full Final Report).
One of the primary purposes of the WSDOT disparity study is to examine whether there are disparities between:
In addition, the study will examined other qualitative and quantitative information related to:
If you have any questions or comments regarding the 2012 WSDOT disparity study, please contact:
WSDOT will provide regular updates about recently completed milestones and next steps throughout the course of the disparity study. Please check back periodically for those updates.
Project initiation . WSDOT and the study team initiated the 2012 WSDOT disparity study in mid-December 2011 with meetings in Tacoma and Olympia. The study team met with WSDOT management and staff as well as with WSDOT's DBE Advisory Group to introduce the study and to answer questions. See materials that the study team presented during the project initiation meetings (pdf 223 kb) . Also, see more information about the DBE Advisory Group (pdf 59 kb) .
Utilization Analysis. BBC collected contracting and vendor data from the Construction Division, Consultant Services Office, the Aviation Division, Public Transportation Division, Washington State Ferries Division, and subrecipient local agencies. Based on those data, BBC has developed prime contract, subcontract, and vendor data tables for the utilization analysis. BBC conducted utilization telephone interviews with businesses that were utilized on WSDOT transportation contracts during the study period. As part of that process, the study team attempted to contact businesses that WSDOT utilized during the study period on transportation-related construction and engineering contracts. BBC collected information related to each business's primary line of work and business characteristics such as size and race/ethnicity and gender of ownership. Availability Analysis. BBC finished conducting availability telephone interviews with Washington businesses that work in industries that are relevant to the transportation contracts that WSDOT awarded during the study period. BBC compiled and analyzed data from the availability telephone interviews for the availability analysis. Legal Framework and Analysis. BBC and Holland & Knight developed the legal framework and analysis for the study. This information appears in the final disparity study report.Explanations for Any Observed Disparities. BBC compiled data related to bid outcomes on transportation-related construction and engineering contracts that WSDOT awarded during the study period. BBC used that information to conduct a case study analysis of bid outcomes that examined potential explanations for any disparities that the study team observed between utilization and availability. Quantitative Analysis of Marketplace Conditions. BBC conducted quantitative analyses of Washington marketplace conditions in the areas of entry and advancement; business ownership; success of businesses; and access to capital, bonding, and insurance. BBC also analyzed existing data related to the effects of Initiative 200. Qualitative Analysis of Marketplace Conditions. BBC collected qualitative information about Washington marketplace conditions through 40 indepth anecdotal interviews with local business owners and managers; several public meetings and hearings throughout the state; and several meetings with trade association and business organization representatives. Qualitative information is summarized in the final disparity study report. Reports. BBC delivered the final disparity study report at the end of December, 2012.

text: And the answer is Nicki Minaj…with the help of a plastic surgeon or two probably. Fake ass all day on Nicki — but whatever it must be working. She's making that big American Idol Coca-Cola money now, nice to see her give something back to the internet ass-lovers. Personally I'm not a Nicki Minaj fan at all because something still seems off. Like she has a lot of the elements of a woman I should be heavily attracted to but in the end it doesn't work. Still too tranny for me.

Warren's Evan French was the highlight of the night in a 70-43 over Chillicothe at Hatton Gym Friday.
The loss snapped the Cavaliers' four game winning streak.
The 6'3" Junior forward set a new Warriors' school record with 44 points, on a night Warren staked their claim to an undisputed SEOAL title.
The two clubs played toe-to-toe through the first quarter, with Warren taking a 22-18 edge. Chillicothe raced out to a 9-4 lead on three buckets by Zach Johnson and Tommy Bolte tacked on a three at 5:30 in the first. The Warriors' Patten hit three baskets to give Warren its first lead at 10-9. Adam Bixler hit a running layup to force a 17-17 tie and that's the closest the game would be.
Both teams were sterling from the field, the Cavs hit 8-of-12 shots and Warren answered with 10-of-11.
The Warriors began to pull away out of the gates to start the second period. Patten sank a leaner, French responded with a three and connected again and suddenly the Cavs were trailing 29-18.
French and Reese Patten combined for 35 of the visitor's 39 first half points, then French turned in a clinic in which he laced the nets on 11 straight shots. Patten scored all of his 20 points in the half.
For the game, Chillicothe shot 50% but Warren was better making 32-of-50 shots for 64% from the field.
Johnson was limited to 13 points on the night. All but two were before halftime, and 8 in the first period. Nate Rosenbuaer scored 10, Nolan Taylor added 9 and Bixler and Bolte combined for another 7.
The Cavs (7-12/5-4) will host Ironton in a non-conference battle Tuesday night.

Officials with the Utah Educational Savings Plan say they reached the milestone Tuesday, and now have more than 211,000 accounts through the program.
Savings plan officials say it shows Utah families recognize the value of higher education and are planning for it early.
The program doesn't require a minimum deposit or balance to open an account, which allows families to save at their own pace.
Earnings through the plan grow tax-deferred and are exempt from federal and state income taxes when they're used for educational expenses such as tuition and books.
The money can be used at any institution that participates in federal financial aid programs, and isn't limited to schools in Utah.


text: Cloud Whitepaper: Virtual Network Architecture Looking back at how the IT landscape has evolved over the past 20 years, it is amazing to see the striking parallel between the evolution of technology and the evolution of business. In the Client /Server era, it was normal for IT initiatives to take months or even years on end. This was reflective of the pace of business at that time; it seems the whole world ran at a slower pace as purchasing behavior was still dictated by the physical world and global competitors were separated by vast distances.

The reemployment priority list (RPL) is the mechanism agencies use to give reemployment consideration to their former competitive service employees separated by reduction in force (RIF) or fully recovered from a compensable injury after more than 1 year. The RPL is a required component of agency positive placement programs. In filling vacancies, the agency must give RPL registrants priority consideration over certain outside job applicants and, if it chooses, also may consider RPL registrants before considering internal candidates.
Two types of career transition programs exist. One is for employees before they separate, called the Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP). The other is for interagency assistance before and after separation, called the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP).

İf you like the left bank in Paris. This is he best location.
When we arrived they gave us the worst possible room ever. We told them we would not stay in this room so they showed us other rooms. they were better. However they asked for extra Money. we had no choise but to accept . it cost us double than what we expected. Furthermore they gave us an attitude because we booked from booking.com. I am very desapointed.

Poor lighting in room Separation of bathroom and bidet Curtain draw strings did not work
The location was excellent. Away from the hustle of crowded tourist hubs yet still close to everything. The building's history in itself is what drew me to the hotel. I would have liked a pamphlet to reinforce the history. The cab station 10 meters away from the hotel was very useful.
I don't know if it's because they were closing for renovation and no one's heart was into it, but the service was horrible. It was not the standard of hospitality that I have gotten accustomed to when traveling. The staff in general was not helpful. A number of the staff did go out of their way to amend for their colleagues mistakes. However, in general, I was not impressed. I am looking forward to the renovation.

20th century mid-modern interior, staffs' care about customers experience, a little ideas to amuse customers such as serving cold water with fruits for hot days in Paris, a flexible location. Also we enjoyed the Brasserie.
Although we liked its antique like interior, some parts needed renovation (such as some floor parts)
The position is excellent
the hotel is quite old and rundown
Excellent location in Paris - couldn't be better for sites and shopping; also, brilliant restaurants in the area.
The location is fabulous, close to shops, restaurants and the best and oldest department store in Europe. Metro and buses close by, river and Latin Quarter within walking distance.
My bathroom looked grubby. I complained and was told it was an old bathroom and the grey patches (which looked like dirt) on the bath were hard water deposits. I asked why they didn't use a special product to clean it but was told there wasn't one. A 4* hotel should renew the bathroom when it gets to this state. The showering experience was horrible because it just didn't look clean.
This hotel has an excellent location, close to the subway, public parking- garage and restaurants. Its lobby and bar are beautifully decorated and have that old world style. The rooms are big for Parisian standards.
The room we had has seen better days. It could use some paint and fixing. The walls were unexpectedly thin, we could hear our neighbors in their nightly endeavors. Breakfast is expensive if not included in your booking (25 euro per person). We decided to get breakfast elsewhere.
The hotel is in a great location easily accessible to the main Paris attractions but not right in the crowded touristy sections. My 21 year old daughter and I stayed here for 5 days before her summer abroad program started and we were very happy with our accomodations. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant and the hotel lobby/bar was very inviting. The hotels free internet was easily accessible.
Because we booked our room so late we were in a courtyard view and we would have preferred a city view.
Beautiful hotel, very nice atmosphere and very rich in history ! Great location too.
location concierges are very good
Outrageously expensive for what it is. Old unkept rooms, chipped bathroom tiles. mouldy walls and the paint falling of the ceiling , dirty old rug with creases everywhere. NO charm No style. The "do not disturb" sign means nothing to the staff , I was woken up twice, and somebody walked in my room wthout knocking to take away a bed they had put in that I had not requested. it is the opposite of value for money! it is a waste of a great location and great building.
Great hotel well located and good staff
Big grand beautiful hotel. The view from my 6th floor room was totally Parisian - roof tops, lovely building across the road and big, wide boulevards. In a pleasing part of town. Right near Jardin de Luxembourg, and easy walk to the Seine and Musee d'Orsay and the Latin (student) quarter.
It was very expensive -yes I know this is Paris. It was on a busy road which was noisy. Ok, this one is a bit harsh as well. It's a big grand hotel and they are not usually in small alley ways. Also they have double glazing on the doors and windows and air con. So you can block the noise out.
large room
getting old and shabby
The location was convenient.
The hotel looks a bit old.
Wonderful door men and reception services
I did not like the computerised minibar and in fact would not stay there again because of this. I just think it is petty. Some of the best hotels in Paris do not do this with the minibar. I think it makes you feel like a child. 500 a night and you have to be monitored. Ridiculous.
Way too expensive for what it is
Position. Valet parking - excellent. Reception excellent.
Had lovely room for first stay. On returning a week later, room was of a poorer standard in decor, facilities. Very disappointing. Food and drinks very expensive. Had dinner in the Brasserie and very unimpressed. Waiter was not cheerful, the main course was very disappointing. We chose the same dish and it came in a pot for two - there was only sufficient fish for one person and the rest of the dish was full of large carrots. It was my special birthday - and our waiter was informed. I would have expected a drink on the house (especially as we had stayed a total of 7 days), but I was brought just a small chocolate tart - nothing to share with friends.

It's an "epic" first, ushering in "one of the most incredible sports stories" of our time. The result of a storied brotherly rivalry.
Leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, some sports columnists and football aficionados are having a field day with the "Harbowl."
John Harbaugh, coach of the Baltimore Ravens, will face off against his 15-months-younger brother Jim, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
Some football fans are complaining that the storyline is overhyped. And the brothers themselves reject it, emphasizing their bond.
Still, the super siblings will make history when their teams duke it out this weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
People all over the world love a good story of a brotherly feud, whether fictional or real. We decided to take a look at some of the biggest ones.
The Bible
Cain and Abel. Jacob and Esau. Joseph and his brothers. Moses and Pharoah (they grew up together). Not to mention Isaac and Ishmael. If you're looking for brother vs. brother rivalry, no better jumping off point than the Old Testament.
Thor vs. Loki
Comics and cartoons are home to numerous good vs. evil battles represented by two archetypal brothers. See the Lion King's Mufasa vs. Scar. Or the story at the core of last year's record-breaking blockbuster "The Avengers," based on Marvel comics. Loki, Thor's evil adopted brother, tries to terrorize all of humanity.
J.R. vs. Bobby
Sometimes you just loving watching the bad guy. On "Dallas," conniving J.R. Ewing was forever squaring off against his good-guy brother Bobby. The show's been resurrected with that battle at the center. But with Larry Hagman's death, J.R. vs. Bobby -- probably the biggest brother vs. brother rivalry in TV history -- will likely end as well, after the episodes Hagman already shot for the new season that began this week.
(Coincidental corporate synergy alert: The new "Dallas" is airing on TNT, which, like CNN, is a part of Time Warner.)
When brothers disband
Brotherly feuds have poisoned the waters for successful musical acts, including the Everly Brothers, which Rolling Stone calls "Rock's First Sibling Rivalry."
And more recently, similar bitterness helped bust the popular band Oasis. Liam and Noel Gallagher's feud included public spats and legal action. (See also The Kinks, the Isley Brothers and more in this spread from zencollegelife.com.)
Battle of the billionaires
Who doesn't hate feuding with their billionaire sibling over the future of a massive empire?
So we can all commiserate with Mukesh and Anil Ambani, who split up their father's Reliance Group and have fought to see whose vision for the future of Indian business will prevail.
Brotherly love trumps competition

Led by Golf Range's Top 50 Golf Instructor Ralph Landrum, World of Golf's staff of game-improvement gurus help players lower their golf scores with an array of golf-related activities. Private lessons conducted inside a climate-controlled swing room allow students to launch golf balls out onto the range while four cameras capture bad habits such as flat takeaways or saying "um" too much during their follow-through. Afterward, players can use their instructor's pointers to build muscle memory on the rest of the complex's practice facilities, which include an outdoor range with 24 mat tees and two sets of grass tees, indoor hitting nets with eight stalls, and an indoor putting and chipping green.
As soon as golfers feel they've practiced enough, they put their newfound knowledge to the test on the executive 18-hole golf course, with 14 par 3s and four par 4s, or the miniature golf course. When weather renders either course unplayable, thwackers move indoors to the golf simulator, which recreates the look and feel of more than 50 courses or a hodgepodge of 18 famous holes but without the extremely long between-hole travel times. World of Golf keeps a busy schedule of lessons, classes, and leagues, all of which can be found on the calendar.
Step inside the unassuming Victorian walls of Creativities' hands-on studio, where artists of all age levels and skill levels hone their crafting skills across a wide range of mediums. Give yourself or your youngsters some tactile stimulus through projects utilizing beads, clay ($3–$10), metal, wood ($3–$10), paper, textiles, and more. Once you cover the modest studio fee for each artist in your party ($8 per person for two hours), make yourself cozy anywhere in Creativities' comfortable reaches and become an insta-engineer by assembling a wooden train kit ($5), a ribbon expert with a ribbon headband ($10), or another type of expert craftsperson via the crafty items available for purchase in the store. Let your mind relax, and simply see where your hands, brains, and optional monocle take you. If you experience a creative block, or any other block-sensation, the friendly, artistic staffers will be happy to assist. If the muse strikes most at home, pick up a few supplies and relocate to your home kitchen, family room, or crafting dungeon.
While most people know how to breathe, very few can do so underwater without the proper equipment and training. In Too Deep Scuba's open-water PADI certification courses provide just that, pairing classroom instruction with swimming-pool practice dives in which participants don full scuba gear. Students can plunge deeper into the world of aquatic exploration by pursuing other certifications, earning a new status as a rescue diver, master scuba diver, or ship's mermaid figurehead. In Too Deep Scuba's team also schedules trips where divers can hone their skills in exotic waters, such as Florida's Crystal River and Bonne Terre Mine. Before excursions, divers can stock up on an array of gear from Pinnacle Aquatics, Cressi-sub, Ocean Reef, and other outfitters.
The six-week Baseline tennis program at Five Seasons Family Sports Club infuses beginners ages 18 and older with a passion for the game through energetic weekly lessons. Racket rockers learn from a team of experienced pros at both the Northbrook and Burr Ridge locations, each boasting climate-controlled indoor courts and adventurous outdoor courts completely at the mercy of the climate. Students harness basic footwork, forehand, backhand, and behind-the-back no-look slam dunks in a group setting. Social events let fellow net apprentices compare notes throughout the course, including a welcome reception, a member-appreciation party, and a graduation mixer. Any student not born with rackets for arms—or who simply doesn't own one—can borrow one from the club. Classes are generally held Monday through Thursday and on Saturday, with morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available; students should call the club of their choice for complete scheduling information and sweatband fashion tips.
BB Riverboats began with a deceptive motto and a fleet of zero. In 1977, Ben Bernstein opened a restaurant in a converted steamboat, whose motto was "The Romance of Riverboat Dining." Intended as tongue-in-cheek, the motto instead confused customers, who arrived hoping for a scenic cruise down the Ohio River. To placate his clientele, Ben Bernstein went into business with riverboat industry veteran Betty Blake, and BB Riverboats—named for their shared initials—was born.
Now run by Bernstein's son, BB Riverboats has increased its fleet to three vessels, including the Belle of Cincinnati, a riverboat outfitted with Victorian details and two climate-controlled decks. On daily cruises down the Ohio, historical narration complements the scenery, while passengers play swashbuckling games and learn to read treasure maps on family-friendly pirate cruises. On the company's dining cruises, visitors drink in the scenery while noshing on a Hawaiian buffet spread or sampling award-winning wines from StoneBrook Winery. Additionally, holiday cruises honor occasions from Valentine's Day to Thanksgiving.
With 10 national championships to their name and another 76 conference titles to boot, the Cincinnati Bearcats boast more than century of athletic tradition. Though the student athletes thrive in many different sports, the basketball program—which won back-to-back NCAA Championships in 1961 and 1962—is the school's crown jewel. Before embarking on a professional career that earned him a spot among the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, The Big O cut his hard-court skills for the Bearcats, averaging a staggering 33.8 points per game in his three years at UC. In more recent years, the Bearcats football team has enjoyed its own run as a true contender, earning bowl berths in 2009, 2011, and 2012. In both 2011 and 2012, the squad pounced on their postseason opponents, taking home glittering trophies to use as tackling dummies in training camp.
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

11 Tottenham Hotspur players on World Cup qualifying duty
11:08am Saturday 7th September 2013 in Sport By Anthony Matthews, Group Sports Editor
Almost a dozen Spurs players were on World Cup duty around Europe last night and not one of them finished on the losing side.
Kyle Walker played the full 90 minutes of England's 4-0 victory over Moldova at Wembley, with Tottenham teammates Jermain Defoe and Andros Townsend were both unused substitutes.
Another trio of Spurs players were further north at Hampden Park for Belgium's encounter with Scotland.
Nacer Chadli and Jan Vertonghen were involved for the whole game as the Belgians ran out 2-0 winners, while Mousa Dembele came off the bench late on.
Vlad Chiriches captained Romania to a 3-0 victory over Hungary and Hugo Lloris kept a clean sheet but France were held to a disappointing goalless draw in Georgia.
Roberto Soldado was an unused replacement in Spain's 2-0 win in Finland, Gylfi Sigurdsson featured in Iceland's thrilling 4-4 draw with Switzerland and Christian Erilksen starred in Denmark's 2-1 victory over Malta.

Defense Management:
Issues in Contracting for Lodging and Temporary Office Space at MacDill Air Force Base
GAO-04-296, Jan 27, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5581
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the September 11, 2001, attacks and the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, thousands of National Guard and Reserve members have been activated and mobilized to military installations across the country. Some installations, like MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, where more than 3,000 reservists have been mobilized, have had to arrange for off-base lodging in local hotels and apartment buildings. In addition, MacDill, which serves as U.S. Central Command headquarters, has had to set up temporary office space for staffs of coalition partner nations. Public concerns have been raised about these arrangements. GAO was asked to review (1) the extent to which MacDill used cost-effective measures to provide off-base lodging for reservists and (2) whether a contract providing office space for coalition partners was adequately managed to control costs.
During recent mobilizations, MacDill contracting officials used two practices that effectively reduced the overall cost of off-base lodging for reservists on extended temporary duty to below that allowed by the General Services Administration's (GSA) lodging rate. Officials used a simplified acquisition procedure--Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA)--to obtain prices that were at or below the maximum allowable GSA rate of $93 per day for Tampa, Florida. MacDill officials obtained daily lodging rates of $71 to $93 per unit for two-bedroom apartments. The BPAs also provided greater flexibility in vacating units without incurring penalties. In addition, MacDill officials reduced per person lodging costs further by implementing a roomsharing policy for personnel at certain ranks. When two reservists shared a two-bedroom unit (about 600 reservists), the cost dropped by up to 55 percent of the daily GSA rate. Overall, during fiscal year 2003, MacDill reported that it saved about $12.6 million using these practices. Our review of local rental costs showed that BPA prices were similar to those paid by corporate entities for comparable lodging units, but were lower on a perperson basis because of lodging sharing arrangements. From project initiation to settlement of the contractor's claim, the Coalition Village II contract suffered from questionable acceptance of the winning offer, poor record keeping, undocumented contracting decisions, and changes to contract requirements that were not properly coordinated with contracting officials. Although MacDill officials determined that the winning offer was received on time, only the first page of the proposal was received by the established deadline. Contract costs for the project, which was implemented under tight time constraints, increased by more than $367,000 over the winning offer of $142,755. However, due to the absence of proper documentation in the contract files, we were unable to fully assess the basis for additional costs paid to the contractor or the extent to which costs might have been avoided or minimized.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to direct the Commander of the Air Mobility Command to emphasize to MacDill personnel the importance of adhering to sound contract management procedures that exist to protect the interests of the government. Communications should reemphasize that contract files should be properly maintained and only authorized personnel should initiate changes to contract requirements, even during time sensitive procurements. In addition to contracting officials, such communications should also be provided to contractors, base customers of contracting services, and contract support personnel.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Air Mobility Command (AMC) developed and implemented a training package for AMC contracting officials, customers of contracting services, and contracting support personnel. Training was developed on contracting authorities, customer training on purchasing, roles and responsibilities, late bids and proposals, quality assurance personnel training, post-award orientation, contract modifications, negotiation memorandums, contract payments, claims, documentation, and GAO relations. The training was provided to personnel at the 12 Air Force bases assigned to the Air Mobility Command, including MacDill Air Force Base.

Thanks Denise. My oldest brother loaned this document to me a few weeks ago so that I could scan it. He said it had been hanging on his wall for years without any glass over it. Considering it's nearly 100 years old, it's in great condition. I guess the IRS had access to some durable paper in those days:).

This hotel was great and just what my group needed for a night in Rome before catching the train to Florence. There's a great restaurant downstairs and the beds were clean and comfy. They provide you with fresh fruit and there's always coffee, tea, juice, and water in the lobby for you to help yourself.
