Long-missing nickel with a storied past expected to sell for millions
|Report an Error
Share via Email
RICHMOND, VA.—A humble U.S. coin with a storied past is headed to auction, and bidding is expected to top $2 million.
The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is one of only five known to exist. It was surreptitiously and illegally cast, discovered in a car wreck that killed its owner, declared a fake, forgotten in a closet for decades and then found to be the real thing.
"Basically a coin with a story and a rarity will trump everything else," said Douglas Mudd, curator of the American Numismatic Association Money Museum, which has held the coin for most of the past 10 years.
The coin is likely to attract lofty bids that only a handful have achieved at auction. A 1933 double eagle, a $20 gold coin, holds the U.S. record: $8 million.
"This is a trophy item that sort of transcends the hobby," said Todd Imhof, executive vice-president of the Heritage auction house. "It's an interesting part of American history, and there are collectors who look for something like this."
Four siblings who inherited the coin will split the money equally.
The nickel was one of five struck at the Philadelphia mint in late 1912, the final year of its issue, but with the year 1913 cast on its face.
Mudd said a mint worker, Samuel W. Brown, is suspected of producing the coin and altering the die to add the bogus date.
The existence of the coins wasn't known until Brown offered them for sale in 1920, a date late enough that he could not be prosecuted. The five remained together under various owners until the set was broken up in 1942.
A collector, George O. Walton, purchased one of the coins in the 1940s for a reported $3,750. The coin was with him when he was killed in a car crash in 1962, and was found among hundreds of coins scattered at the crash site.
Walton's sister, Melva Givens, was given the 1913 Liberty nickel after experts declared the coin a fake. She put the coin in an envelope and stuck it in a closet, where it stayed for 30 years until her death in 1992.
Ryan Myers, who is executor for his mother's estate, said a family attorney had heard of the famous 1913 Liberty nickels and asked to see it. "He looked at it and he told me he'd give me $5,000 for it right there," he said, declining an offer he could not accept without his siblings' approval.
Finally, they brought the coin to the 2003 American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money, where the four surviving 1913 Liberty nickels were being exhibited. A team of experts concluded it was the long-missing fifth coin.

Sitting out the crisis: Spaniards may be stuck at home this summer, but they aren't staying indoors.
Some even dare to launch a business in this habitually slow period of the year. Miguel Marino inaugurated his new terraza, Las Tres Manolas, in downtown Madrid in mid-August. Owner of three other restaurant businesses, he has witnessed Spaniards' consumption patterns go from carefree to careful. People continue to go out, he said, but, "customers that used to order cured ham now have a beer and leave to eat at home."
Sitting in another terraza with two friends, Guillermo Vizcaino, 35, recalled: "People used to have three rounds of beer with a tapa and then dinner, but not any more."
At La Esquinita, Lydia Reinoso waited on a full terraza where her customers paid little attention to the menu posted outdoors. "People come for drinks, but they don't order food. They go home for dinner," she said. The 32,000 establishments in the region of Madrid, including bars, restaurants, cafeterias, terrazas and pubs, provide 140,000 jobs. The sector's business volume in the region is 7 billion euros (about $9.9 billion) a year, according to La Vina.
"Bars and terrazas are part of our culture. It's the way we socialize," said Cosmen. Normally, businesses are open until 1:30 a.m. during the week and until 2:30 a.m. on weekends. People stay up late even if they have to get up early the next morning for work; so rooted is the practice in society, that children sitting with their parents or grandparents in a terraza at midnight is a common sight.
"We cannot lose the terraza tradition, no matter how bad the economy gets," said David Moreno, 30. An audio and video technician enjoying a beer and fries with a friend, he has been unemployed for eight months. He said chatting with pals helps him hang on, in spite of his economic problems. He went to the beach seven summers in a row, but this year he is staying home. Now, he said he watches how much he spends, but still manages to go out with his friends once a week. "Things have to be really bad for someone not to spend 5 euros [$7] on a Friday night with friends," he stated.
Outdoor bars are hoping it never gets that bad. They are counting on Madrilenos stuck at home to keep their businesses afloat.

Mortgage Rates Tick Down a Bit in Latest Survey
A key long-term U.S. mortgage rate slipped this week, the second drop after a large increase two weeks ago, mortgage-buyer Freddie Mac reports.
A key long-term U.S. mortgage rate slipped this week, the second drop after a large increase two weeks ago, mortgage-buyer Freddie Mac reports.
A slight drop in interest rates wasn't enough to move the needle on mortgage applications last week, a survey by the Mortgage Bankers Association shows.
Introducing Life Stage Lessons: Real stories about moments people realized their finances were off course. Today, a new homeowner sees everything go wrong.
Home prices in the U.S. increased at the slowest pace in 20 months in July, reflecting sluggish sales and a greater supply of houses for sale.
Fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in August, suggesting that real estate sales will remain sluggish over the next few months.
Average rates for long-term mortgages declined slightly this week, after marking their largest one-week gain of the year the previous week.
Sales of new single-family homes surged in August and hit their highest level in more than six years, suggesting the housing recovery remains on course.
Fewer Americans bought homes in August, as investors retreated from real estate and first-time buyers remained scarce.
Average long-term mortgage rates surged this week, marking their largest one-week gain this year, but still remain near historic lows.
Housing starts and permits fell in August, but upward revisions to the prior month's data suggested the housing market continued to gradually improve.
Homebuilders' confidence in the market for new, single-family homes surged this month to the highest level in nearly nine years.
Despite adjustments for the Labor Day holiday the previous week, mortgage applications surged last week, even amid rising rates.
Weigh the mortgage interest deduction, the ability to leverage real estate and options for your cash before picking how much cash to use in buying a home.
Freddie Mac says the U.S. average for a 30-year loan edged up to 4.12 percent from 4.10 percent last week, where it had stayed for three straight weeks.
Foreclosure activity jumped in August for the second consecutive month as banks started the process on more properties and scheduled more housing auctions.
The average 30-year U.S. mortgage rate this week remained at a 52-week low of 4.10 percent for the third straight week.
Rates for mortgages dropped to their lowest level in over a year, but that wasn't enough to move potential homebuyers off the fence and into a house.
Home prices in the U.S. rose in July but at a slower rate compared with earlier this year. But the smaller price gains should make homes more affordable.
Americans signed more contracts in July to buy previously owned homes than in any month in almost a year, as the housing market appears to heat up.
Single-family home prices fell in June and disappointed expectations, the closely watched S&P/Case-Shiller survey shows.
You might assume that foreclosures all sell for deep discounts, but certain kinds of distressed properties actually fetch hefty premiums.
Sales of new single-family homes fell for a second straight month in July, but a surge in the stock of homes on the market should help stimulate demand.
Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates declined this week, with the 30-year loan rate hitting its low for the year.
Home resales rise to a 10-month high and the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fall, signaling strength in the economy.
A young couple shelves their dreams of home ownership after more than $260,000 in joint student loan debt sabotages their chance at the American Dream.
Refinancing for the sake of refinancing isn't a great idea. You'll need good credit to get the best rates and be able to document your income.
Homebuilders are feeling more confident in sales prospects headed into next year, a sign that home construction and sales of newly built homes may pick up.
Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates declined this week, approaching their lows for the year, according to a survey from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
Sometimes the most important factor in making a good deal is access to financing, and private lenders might offer easier access than banks.
U.S. home prices rose in June by the smallest year-over-year amount in 20 months, slowed by modest sales and more properties coming on the market.

Film Review: Dracula Dead And Loving It (1995)
SYNOPSIS: "Another spoof from the mind of Mel Brooks. This time he's out to poke fun at the Dracula myth. Basically, he took Bram Stoker's Dracula, gave it a new cast and a new script and made a big joke out of it. The usual, rich English are attacked by Dracula and Doctor Van Helsing is brought in to save the day."

Level 16
Tiefling Bard/Swordmaster (MC Fighter, Avenger, and Ranger)
Theme: Wilder
Need STR, DEX, and WIS at 13 for feat prereqs. CHA should start at 20 and be boosted every time (end up at 24).
Level 1: Turathi Weapon Training
Level 2: Combat Virtuoso
Level 4: Disciple of Divine Wrath
Level 6: Versatile Expertise
Level 8: Battle Awareness
Level 10: Novice Power
Level 11: Two-Blade Warrior
Level 12: Enhanced Psychic Surge
Level 14: Arcane Implement Proficiency (heavy blades)
Level 16: Secrets of Belial
Novice Power: Opportunist's Rend
Secrets of Belial: Borrowed Confidence
(2) Rending Khopesh +3
First round, move close to the target, use OoE on them (from Disciple of Divine Wrath), and then Psychic Surge. If we hit (87.75% chance, but that's irrelevant when expected damage of a hit is infinite), then all our attacks can crit on a 16-20 until EoNT.
Second round, move next to the enemy (if necessary), use Borrowed Confidence, and then use Opportunist's Rend.
OR makes two attacks, each with roughly 68.36% chance of critting (because we're rolling 4 times and crit on 16-20). On a crit, we get to make another MBA thanks to Rending...and also, we recover OR due to Swordmaster's L16 feature.
Since our expected number of crits per OR is more than 1, and each crit creates another use of OR, the expected damage is infinite.
Look very carefully at the wording.
OoE says that, when you make an attack, you make "two attack rolls".
BC, on the other hand, says that when you make an attack roll, you "roll twice".
They do not quite say the same thing, and they clearly do stack - OoE comes first, BC applies to each OoE roll.
EDIT: There is a bit of objection to OoE + BC based on the idea that OoE doesn't stack with anything that lets you "roll twice and use the higher result," and technically BC does allow that to happen. So here's the more filled-out build that doesn't require BC:
Stormsoul Genasi Fighter|Ranger/Swordmaster
Theme: Wilder
Background that gives Insight as a trained skill
Hybrid Talent (Two-Blade Fighting Style)
Weapon Focus (Axe)
Versatile Expertise (Axe, Holy Symbol)
Disciple of Divine Wrath
Enhanced Psychic Surge
Shocking Flame
Deadly Axe
Reckless Attacker
Devastating Critical
Critical Targeting
Enc: Rain of Blows, Opportunist's Rend, Off-Hand Diversion
Utility: Battle Fury Stance, Insightful Riposte
(2) Rending Khopesh +3
(2) Eberron Shard of Lightning (paragon)
Fist of Kord +3
Iron Armbands of Power (paragon)
Ring of Giants
War Ring
Turn 1
Minor: Oath of Enmity
Move: Promise of Storm
Standard: Psychic Surge (with Insightful Riposte if necessary)
Turn 2
Move: move adjacent if necessary (otherwise activate Battle Fury Stance, adds 119 damage to total)
Minor: Off-Hand Diversion
Standard: Opportunist's Rend (or Rain of Blows, if OHD was a crit)
All crits in turn 2 trigger another use of OR, and one of them might also trigger a Reckless Attacker MBA (sadly, can't use OR).
Expected damage on turn 2: 1687
Highest enemy HP I could find: 1645 (The Old Man with the Canaries)
In other words, expected damage is no longer actually infinite, it is only functionally infinite. I am filled with dishonor and shame.
And after your nova, you still get to be a twin strike-ing ranger... with extra-powerful crits.
I also ran some simulations to see how likely it was to explode in practice...you break 1645 damage almost 30% of the time.

Microsoft Windows 8 Hits 60 Million Licenses Sold; 100 Million Apps Downloaded
Impressive news from Microsoft today on their Windows blog regarding both Windows 8 and on App Sales:
"At the 11th Annual J.P. Morgan Tech Forum at CES 2013 today, Windows Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Financial Officer Tami Reller announced that Windows 8 has sold 60 million licenses to date. This represents the cumulative sales of Windows 8 including both upgrades and sales to OEMs for new devices. This is a similar sales trajectory that we saw with Windows 7.
We have seen a significant increase in the number of Windows 8 Certified systems since general availability at the end of October. There are now more than 1,700 Certified systems for Windows 8 and Windows RT. I suggest reading this post from Nick Parker putting the spotlight on several very cool new Windows 8 PCs announced by our OEM partners this week at CES.
This week we also highlighted strong growth in developers building for Windows 8. Since the opening of the Windows Store the number of apps has quadrupled and we passed the 100 million app download mark - just two months after general availability."

JasperReports is a valuable and viable reporting solution for Java Web applications. It simplifies report generation through the use of XML report templates that are then compiled using the JasperReports engine for use in reporting modules. These compiled report templates can be filled by data received from a variety of sources including relational databases. JasperReports can be integrated into Web applications and create reports in several file formats including PDF and XLS.
Reporting in Java Applications
Often reporting modules increase in complexity and size during the course of application development. Clients tend to demand more information from report modules when they become aware of the benefits reports offer. The reporting module developed as something of an afterthought in such environments suddenly becomes a much more integral part of the application. Reporting modules often seem to be tacked on to developed applications, rather than being considered and implemented during initial application development.
Recently while working on some applications that made extensive use of report extraction to XLS files using the Apache POI library, it became apparent that these report modules tied up lots of valuable development resources for extended periods of time. When the client requested PDF extraction, initial iText API research led me to discover JasperReports. JasperReports was to change our team approach to report development dramatically.
Prior to implementing JasperReports each report creation required the development of a custom report class using the Apache POI library. This approach expended valuable development time creating aspects of the report such as cell specific formats, styles, and population methods. JasperReports offered our team the ability to get back this valuable development time, while producing the same report because of its embedded use of the Apache POI library.
One of the benefits offered by the introduction of JasperReports is that a single report template implementation can produce reports in a number of formats. This means that templates created for XLS format extraction can also be used to produce PDF files and even CSV, HTML or XML.
How Can JasperReports Help Developers?
JasperReports gives developers the ability to create reports quickly and easily that can be extracted to numerous formats. Developers can also use the JasperReports engine to compile report templates at design or runtime - allowing dynamic report formats. Developers can also inject data into these reports from a number of data sources. Developer time no longer has to be spent creating custom report classes using the Apache POI or iText libraries for formatting and stylizing reports, allowing the code writers to focus on the data retrieval aspect of the report. As a result developers gain valuable flexibility and time savings using JasperReports in application development.
The XML report templates used by JasperReports provide the layout and presentation information required to format the resulting report as well as field, variable, and parameter references. Non-development staff can create these templates using a third-party GUI such as iReport with minimal developer collaboration, so developers don't have to involve themselves in the layout and presentation aspect of report generation.
JasperReports enables developers to concentrate their efforts on the parts of the reporting module where they are required, while relieving them of having to write custom report generation code. A developer's role in the report module can be reduced to template compilation, data source implementation, and actual report creation.
Creating and Compiling an XML Report Template
JasperReports requires a report design defining the layout, presentation, and data fields. This design can be built using the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JasperDesign object, so developers can create report designs dynamically, or by creating a net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JasperDesign instance from an XML report template. Unless an application specifically requires a dynamic layout a compiled XML report template is the recommended method. This XML template is usually saved with a .jrxml file extension and compiled using the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager.
The JasperReports XML template includes elements for <title>, <pageHeader>, <columnHeader>, <pageFooter>, <columnFooter>, and the main data <detail> element. Each of these elements has a variety of sub-elements as can be seen in sampleReport.jrxml (see Listing 1).
You can download the code samples used in this article at jdj.sys-con.com. As can be seen in sampleReport.jrxml some elements such as <band> and <reportElement> contain layout information, while others such as <textElement> and <font> contain presentation information. The XML templates also contain <parameter>, <field>, and <variable> elements used to include data in the report.
The <parameter> elements allow non-data source information to be passed into a report, such as a dynamic title; <field> elements are the only way to map report fields to the data source fields, while variables are values generated at runtime for use in the report. The complete Document Type Definition (DTD) for the JasperReports XML report template can be found in the JasperReports Ultimate Guide.
Compilation of the XML template can be done either at runtime or build time as part of an Ant build using the JasperReports Ant task.
Compiling the report at runtime entails loading the report into a JasperDesign object and using the created instance as the parameter to the JasperCompileManager.compileReport(JasperDesign design) method, which returns a JasperReport instance. Alternatively the XML template can be passed into the JasperCompileManager.compileToFileReport(String sourceFileName, which creates a compiled report file (.jasper) available throughout the application.
Compiling the report at build time using the JasperReports Ant task requires the addition of the task definition to the build.xml file and a target making use of this task as seen in Listing 2, which is an extract from the source code build.xml. Using the Ant task results in the creation of a compiled (.jasper) file in the destdir task and offers the opportunity to save the Java source file by passing the keepjava attribute of the target a true value. A more thorough example of how to use the Ant task is included in the sample applications provided in the JasperReports download bundle.
Using Data Sources to Fill JasperReports
Most reports use a database as the data source, but JasperReports can use any available data source. These data sources are passed to a net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager fillReportXXX() method. Two types of data source are provided for by these methods - net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource and java.sql.Connection. The source code for this article contains examples of both a static data source that extends the JRDataSource and a JDBC connection data source implementation.
The StaticDataSource class implementation provided implements the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource interface enabling it to fill the report data by calling the JasperFillManager.fillReport(JaperReport report, Map parameters, JRDataSource dataSource) method. The two required methods getFieldValue(JRField jrField) and next() of the JRDataSource interface present in StaticDataSource handle the data passing from the data source into the JasperReport. The data source used by StaticDataSource is a static simple two-dimensional array of bowlers containing their names and scores over three games (see Listing 3). When the fillReport() method containing this data source is processed and a detail section is encountered in the report a call will be made to the next() method. The implementation of this method in StaticDataSource (see Listing 4) returns true if there's another element in the data array, or false if there is no more data. If this method returns true then field elements encountered in the detail section will result in a call to the getFieldValue(JRField jrField) method in StaticDataSource. The implementation of this method in StaticDataSource (see Listing 5) returns the value of the mapped data field name for the current index of the data array. When the end of the detail section is encountered, the next() method is called again and the process repeats until the next() method returns false.
The JDBCDataSourceExample (see Listing 6) implements a fillReport() method that accepts a java.sql.Connection parameter. Through the addition of a <queryString> element into the XML report template (jdbcSampleReport.jrxml) this fillReport() method enables data to be extracted from a relational database. The <queryString> element returns the data fields for use in the report data mapping. In this case the query simply returns all records in the sample_data table. A java.sql.ResultSet can be used instead of implementing the <queryString> element in the report template, allowing dynamic query implementation.
Using Hibernate with JasperReports
Hibernate is one of the most popular ORM tools in use at the moment. Using Hibernate as a data source for JasperReports can be very simple when a collection of objects is returned from a Hibernate query, but when a tuple of objects is returned then a custom JRDataSource implementation is required.
When a Hibernate query returns a collection of objects, a net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollection-DataSource can be used to map the Hibernate POJO instance fields to the report fields. All that's required for this simple solution is to use the JRBeanCollectionDataSource(java.util.Collection beanCollection) constructor, passing it the Hibernate Query result set as implemented in SimpleHibernateExample (see Listing 7). In this example the simple Hibernate query used (session.createQuery("from SampleData").list()) is equivalent to that found in the JDBCDataSourceExample. JRBeanCollectionDataSource implements JRDataSource like StaticDataSource but its getFieldValue(JRField jrField) method implementation maps the report template field names to the query result bean properties.
When a Hibernate query returns a tuple of objects it's necessary to write a custom implementation of the JRDataSource similar to HibernateDataSource (see Listing 8). The implementation of the required next() method in this class returns true if there is another list item in the Hibernate query result set, while putting the current list item in a currentValue holder for use in the getFieldValue(JRField jrField) method. The getFieldValue() method implementation gets the field index in the currentValue object via a call to the getFieldIndex(String field) method. This method iterates through the mapped field names passed to the HibernateDataSource constructor until it finds the field name it was passed and then returns the index of this field in the currentValue information. The getFieldValue() method then returns the value at this index in the currentValue result object.

JasperReports is a valuable and viable reporting solution for Java Web applications. It simplifies report generation through the use of XML report templates that are then compiled using the JasperReports engine for use in reporting modules. These compiled report templates can be filled by data received from a variety of sources including relational databases. JasperReports can be integrated into Web applications and create reports in several file formats including PDF and XLS.

Reports have surfaced about a rather interesting real life relationship backstage in WWE. Rosa Mendes was said to have been dating Michael Hayes for a period of time. Former wrestlers have alluded to the seemingly inappropriate relationship in the past, but the names were withheld. Word going around is that Hayes was quite the advocate in getting Rosa on Total Divas. The two are said to be broken up now.
October 9, 2014
In a sign of just how valued he is within the company, Michael Hayes is still with WWE. He remains a fairly high ranking official for the company and has a big role backstage, even though he has had so many incidents and suspensions. WWE is even tossing around the idea of inducting the Freebirds into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 32, which is rumored to be held in Texas.

By Danny King
Choice Hotels International will upgrade the company's
Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites brands, and may deflag many as 10 percent of the
brand's lesser-performing hotels.
Choice Hotels, which franchises more than 6,100 hotels
worldwide, will work with owners and franchisees at implementing the design
upgrades and expects about 70 percent of the company's approximately 2,000
Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites hotels to complete the improvements by 2015.
The company is working with New York-based Gensler, which
has done work for chains such as Ritz-Carlton, on a cleaner design for the
chain's bedrooms, bathrooms and public spaces.
"It's one of the better-known brands in the industry,
and it's been quite a while since we refreshed and rejuvenated the look and
feel of it," said Choice Hotels CEO Stephen Joyce in an interview at the
Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles this week, adding that the
company may offer franchisees financing in order to speed up the improvements.
"We're going to combine that with a very active
incentive program and other positive movements for the franchisees who invest
in it."
With the upgrades, Choice appears to be trying to move the
Comfort brands closer to the select-service sector that has recently gained
favor by both investors and hotel companies specializing in upscale operations
such as Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton.
With as many as 200 hotels expected to not go along with the
upgrades, Joyce said the company would work with many of those owners at moving
the hotels into Choice's economy brands, which include Econo Lodge and Rodeway
As of last September, Choice franchised 1,413 Comfort Inns
and 616 Comfort Suites hotels totaling more than 158,000 rooms, compared with
about 1,000 Quality hotels and about 1,100 Econo Lodges and Rodeways combined.
Choice is looking to hotel owners to invest in a midscale
sector that has lagged the higher-end hotels when it comes to recovery in U.S.
travel spending.
Midscale was the only sector of the six tracked by Smith
Travel Research (STR) to experience a drop in average room rates last year,
while midscale room demand fell 5.5 percent from a year earlier, compared with
a 5 percent increase in room demand across all sectors.
Still, Joyce pointed to an uptick in employment and a drop
in midscale hotel supply as reasons why the brand upgrade makes financial
Joyce estimated that a typical 75-room Comfort Inn would
require "about a couple hundred thousand dollars" to meet the new
standards, and will generate room-rate increases of between $5 and $10 a night,
giving investing franchisees a "strong" return on investment.
For the first nine months of 2011, Comfort Inn and Comfort
Suites had average daily room rates of about $77 and $83, respectively, while
revenue per available room was up 5.8 percent and 7.3 percent from a year
"Folks that are employed feel secure in their jobs
because the companies are very profitable," said Joyce. Companies are "sitting
on a ton of cash, and their bosses are telling them to get back on the road and

Business travelers today are in the midst of one of the great evolutions of travel service delivery. Suppliers have taken advantage of travelers' near-unanimous adoption of mobile technology to deliver products and services—mobile boarding passes, complete mobile itineraries—that even a decade ago would have been hard for those travelers to imagine. And there's more to come, with services like expanded location-based offers and the ability to unlock a hotel room door with a phone in the works.
More stories
IHG Owners Association president Eva Ferguson—who has been with the association for 30 years, including nine in her current leadership role—spoke recently with Business Travel News senior editor Michael B. Baker about some of the most recent initiatives facing owners that affect both the look and design of hotels, as well as how owners manage their business mixes.
BCD Travel this month appointed 10-year company vet Craig Bailey to serve as president of its North America operations (encompassing the United States and Canada), overseeing "client management, contracts, budgets and relationships with all other regions," according to the travel management company. His role was created in conjunction with promotions for Mike Janssen (now global COO) and John Snyder (now CEO). Bailey most recently had been BCD Travel's senior vice president of the North America Central region and TBiz. He spoke recently with BTN executive editor David Jonas about account management, technology and the TBiz integration. Excerpts follow.
Los Angeles - Accor Hotels senior vice president of global sales Carlo Olejniczak in late July discussed with BTN editor-in-chief Chris Davis the implications of the global hotel company's move to a Salesforce customer relationship management system, the state of corporate negotiations, business travel and meetings demand and Accor's distribution strategy.
"We are building our own expense tool," Steven
Mandelbaum said during a recent phone conversation. "It won't be oriented
around expense reports but around line items." And so it is, yet another ambitious, perhaps audacious,
project for The Advisory Board Co. vice president of business solutions and BTN's 2014 Travel Manager of the Year.

The rain started at 4am. A tender thread of water only lasting a few minutes, but it's tiny patter on the roof was enough to comfort my heart. It woke me from my heavy-eyed thoughts, a clanky reel replaying the last few days. Days filled with fevers, rigors and a throat that burnt like the sun. Days where time was a jellylike substance.

Hello brightness. Little fireflies glowing at my window. Gleaming in the tender light of dawn. Hush the cold trees leaping in the wind. I see you there. Sequin-like in the fog.

Twenty years later and I keep going back for Continue Reading

February bulged at the seams. It bulged so much that the writing part of my brain didn't have room to move.

(Because clearly they must be born all in the same month for no compelling reason). And Continue Reading
The Penguin That Swam Away
Do you know this picture? It's taken by wildlife photographer Amos Nachoum. A leopard seal and a penguin in the Antarctic Sea. I find myself having so many reactions to it. In awe of the power of the leopard seal. In grief for the fate of the penguin. I showed it to my daughter. She's only four. I explained the photo might be a bit scary. Continue Reading
Wings On Fire
I've grown wings. Magnificent wings. They're rich and lustrous. And if you stand just the right way in the sunlight, they shimmer. They weren't always this big. It wasn't long ago when I noticed them on my back. Little buds bursting after a long winter. Expanding in the summer heat. When I turned my head to glance at them I noticed how Continue Reading
The Life of Pi
It's still with me. I watched the Life of Pi two days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. By night it flashes through the filmy velvet of my dreams.

Airbus is continuing to expand in Wichita, adding space and additional jobs at their Old Town locations.
The company already owns two buildings in Old Town, and will expand into a third on May 1. The new location is adjacent to their existing buildings.
"When we expanded to 238 N. Mead in 2012, we expected to add 100 jobs; we have since increased by about 150. The new building will give us 10,000 square feet which we will use to give more space to our current employees, and allow for future growth," said John O'Leary, Vice President of Engineering for Airbus Americas.
Airbus Americas Engineering currently employs about 400 people in Wichita, focused on airframe design and analysis for wing structures.

I loved the location
The small bars of soap
WiFi TV Reception Noisey Mini Fridge Busted Door Lock Latch
The Value and the space.
Bathtub was not exactly clean and it had cigarette burns all over the edges. Refrigerator was not exactly cold so it would not be good if you had food in it. Bath towels were small so it was hard to dry and cover yourself if you needed to.
It available when I need them
I don't like when I have to go purchase a fan because the air don't work good at all thatthe only i have a problem with evevery time I come j have to buy one and it making change my mind about coming back I stay to many time and it the same thing.
Had a great stay!
A/C didn't cool well...
Everything good location to downtown new orleans
Only thing was no quick breakfast bar had coffee an juice but nothing else
It was not that far from French Quarter other than that the place sucked big time, Would not recommend anyone to stay here.
Staff was unorganized, got woke up by Owner early in the morning telling me there was a mistake and we needed to move rooms after we had settled in. The stay was unpleasant and Front desk staff unexperienced didn't know how to take proper payment and mixed up reservations, so disappointed.
The lady in the front office was really nice and went out of her way to find us a taxi and help when our car broke down
Needs updated tv's
The location was near New Orleans and the night shift lady was exceptional. She was very nice and helpful. The price was more affordable than staying in the French quarter. The hotel was sold out but very quiet.
Rooms are clean lol
The staff is very rude they kick you off property and on top of that they dont refund your $$$$$ back even tho they kick you off the site...BBB Will hear about this..
The cleanliss of the room and bed
No coffee pot in room
The room was very clean the area of this hotel was in a safe location
It could have more option to room service
I didn't like the fact that the quality of this hotel was not worth the price.. You can tell the room was just painted the refrigerator didn't work at all neither the microwave. When we dis the complaint is was like the manager was so rude.
How clean it was. The bedding was very clean and white, it wasn't dingy with a smell like other places.
No continental breakfast
Cheap but good, far from city but good option is your are on a budget
wifi weak, had to open door to catch signal, no breakfast
We stayed there during mardi gras and so prices were much higher than usual , but it was comfortable and easy to find. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The fact that coffee isn't available in the room, only from the lobby and no breakfast was provided. Prices were much higher than usual.
wifi is weak.
We had a group of guys stay for the weekend and it wasn't bad at all....
The flip side is its about 15-20 mins from bourbon st...
It was a very good experience.
just what we wanted and a value for what we received
Price and comfort
Rude owner Farther from New Orleans than was expected
free parking, newer building, nice room
No shampoo, no hangers, no do not disturb sign, wireless issues
the cleanliness O the room .the location
the workers wasnt as friendly
