Rated 5 out of 5 by dianew Fantastic Experience The room was very nice, clean and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and most helpful. The decor and atmosphere was very relaxing. And the breakfast was delicious. Absolutely no complaints and I would definitely stay there again. July 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Darth25 Multiple stays I've stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions and the staff is always consistent, friendly, and thorough. Nice convenient location to local offices restaurants. And the airport is only 35 minutes away. August 6, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Neal12 Do not stay here No warm water one morning, no excuses from management. Unfriendly waiters some mornings. Breakfast quality is not good. Under staffed bar in the evening. Slowest elevator in the world. January 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fun7 Great Stay My wife, grand daughter, and I had a great stay at your hotel. I would like to thank "ALI ' for checking me in, he did a great job. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. October 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by martha75 Martha A. This hotel was extremely clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RFF224 Great Service The staff and the faciltiy were great. They met every expectation immediately. October 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 Good Choice Clean and comfortable. The kitchen needs to work on the menu October 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phyllis1020 Tool care of all our needs Very friendly staff and excellent facility August 15, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Houston2013 Hotel did not meet expectations Traveled to this facility with a youth sports team. Booked a group rate for club floor that was to have included snacks and beverages. While one serving of snacks was provided, no drinks were served, nether non-alcoholic nor alcoholic. When the staff was asked the excuse was that is was a "family weekend". Can understand not having alcoholic beverages sitting out unattended with a large number of children around, however, no drinks at all is not acceptable. Also, we were told that when the one serving of snacks were gone, no more would be provided. Given that our room smelled of mildew and the lack amenities for our club floor experience, I would not be inclined to recommend this facility to others. May 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChicagoConsultant60611 S-L-O-W Internet Remember back in the day when we all used dial-up internet access and waited for website to load? The good old days are back again at the Sheraton West Houston! Yes, you too can have the luxury of drinking coffee, taking a nap, and other activities while you wait on the internet. Don't be a Productivity Chump. Step back into time and enjoy yesteryear hear at the Sheraton West. (TWO DAYS. ALL DAY. MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGH THE HOTEL. TRIED EVERYTHING. HORRIBLE) August 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by NC14 Room for improvement Does not fit the expectations of a Sheraton. Firstly the a/c units in the rooms are noisy (and over several stays, I've had many rooms), but the main criticism is directed to the restaurant, the 'Clay Urban Kitchen'. Whilst breakfasts are fine with the staff very engaging and helpful, in the evening there are far too few trained staff on duty, including in the kitchen. Any more than 8-10 diners and the pace of the service slows and when the room is over 50% full, it just gets worse. Staff try to do their best, but you can do better. July 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dparscal ok First of all Chose the Hotel for the price. But once I got there I find that I had no internet unless I paid an ungodly price per day, Also no complimentary breakfast. I was not about to pay $$ for my breakfast when I could go down the street and get same exact thing for less than $. $$ for a bottle of water was also ridiculous. I had to get 4 different remotes for my TV. I also had told front desk that the shower head was broken and was spraying the ceiling. They did not fix that. The ceiling was peeling. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Littlebit65 Room not correct When I arrived at the Hotel they had me in a room with a King bed and I reserved a room with a double bed and had my e-mail from you with that info on it. The girl tried to say they did not have a room with 2 beds. Finally I got my room and access to the Club Floor where I was suppose to be in the first place. Needless to say I was not happy. The room I was in was very nice, but on wrong floor. I would appreciate it if I could get some kind of discount for all the trouble that I went thru. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BigShirley007 My stay on June 19-20th 2014 I would like to thank the staff and management at the Sheraton Houston West. The room was impeccable, service was more than expected. I would also like to send special thanks to Alex the shuttle driver. He is extremely professional and very informative. If you need to go some where close for diner or anything else, Alex is the man! Room were spacious, clean, comfortable and well kept. The AC works great. Pool was outstanding. Housekeeping does a wonderful job. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends and family. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by west it was very pleasant stay Everyone was friendly and real. They all seemed to foot their part well. The hotel had a very good 'feel' to it. Very comfortable, clean, relaxing, and in some way i felt like i was in a movie. The restaurant in the lobby is a mistake though. I did expect to have special food available. the club room upgrade was a great bonus! Free drinks, wine in the lounge, things to Munch on always. Eduardo was a nice man.. I bet he knows everything about that hotel. Chad was really cool and professional. I wouldn't mind living there, haha. I would if i could pay $1,000 per month for the big room on 'the 5th floor. I don't need a kitchen. Anyways, it was a good experience and wouldn't expect it from a business like area. Inside i felt like i was in Oregon. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taylor88 Superb Custoner Service We had a bad experience on one of our stays at this hotel. I notified the GM, Brian, and not only did he correct the problem, but also made sure that our next stay was at an even higher level. He personally met us in the lobby upon our returned trip and apologized face to face. In such a digitial world, we were very moved by his gesture to rectify their error. We will be back because it is not that something went wrong...it happens..but because of how they handled correcting it!! Plus, the place is beautiful and the staff is so friendly. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AGMOM Beyond any other stay My sisters and I along with our mom took our girls to Houston to shop at the American Girl Store. To our surprise, Sheraton has an American Girl Slumber Party Package. It was beyond any other stay. When we arrived there were the doll beds waiting in the rooms for the girls. They asked us when we wanted the cokes and popcorn....it was delivered to the room as we shopped at the store. It was the best experience for the girls as well as the moms and the granny. The hotel was clean, quiet......perfect. We might just make this an annual trip. December 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by etxtraveler Manager's POOR customer service I was NOT told about a monetary hold being placed on my credit card. The room was paid in full on reservation. When I checked out, I was told there were no further charges on my room. I was told by the manager that it would take 3-5 business days to clear the hold, which is NOT acceptable. Further, the electronic keys never worked on the room door or in the elevators without trying numerous times. Also, the bathroom had very narrow French style doors and no ventilation. I won't stay at a Sheraton every again. December 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marucci11 Terrible night service The hotel is beautiful and well-kept. The morning breakfast staff in the restaurant was wonderful and took great pride in their work. Unfortunately, it was like a 180-degree difference in the evening. We were refused dinner service at 8:38pm on a Friday night for a group of 15, saying they close early on Friday nights at 9pm- this is despite us calling in advance of our arrival. A similar situation happened the following night. Very odd since the morning staff was so great. May 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by bustraveler34 Sheraton did not meet the usual expectations My complaint concerns the room, when I first arrived there was a smell that made me think it was a smoker's room, but the sign indicated that it was not. It was not until the next morning while I was packing to leave did a find a used coffee filter in the trash, and it had been there more than a day or two. Since I don't drink coffee, I knew it wasn't mine. The restaurant had good food and the overall atmosphere was inviting. But overall, not the usual Sheraton standard. November 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by joeasdfgasdfg last visit Sheraton was OK but OK is not waht I expect from Sheraton. Rooms and beds were good. I had to go to the front desk 3 times to try and get my remote to work right and after 5 nights in the hotel it still was not working as it should. The staff in the resturant bar area were below average in helpfulness and service. Thye made it feel as if we were an interuption to their day. The morning staff was better tehn the evening staff but both were marginal at best. November 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by KayEl Not Recommended Majority of staff do not speak English and/or are too inexperienced to give satisfactory customer service. Restaurant and Lounge sucked. Overpriced and what you order, is what you get, so if you order a steak--that's it, no side of anything, just a steak. Pasta is made with ramen noodles. Desk clerk played Angry Birds most of the time. Shuttle drivers are creepy and drive like maniacs. Forget any kind of room service, including cleaning of your room. July 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kiara Ok - not great! This hotel calls itself a category 4. We booked a club floor room - evening hors d'oeuvres consisted of bags of potato chips and cans of soda in a cooler. OK, we're flexible and went out to dinner. The front desk gave us a good recommendation. Having stayed in so many Sheratons and always enjoyed the club floor, this was such a letdown. We have another booked in Philadelphia in 2 weeks - hope its better. Just take a standard room here. April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by monty1 Accommodating for business travel Food and beverage, comfortable room & decent workout facility. August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BLRBusinessTraveller Very Average Definitely a 3 star hotel. Reception felt like an open bar, the reception desk is over to one side, I thought it was the Concierge desk. Room above average in size, nowhere to sit except at the desk - there was a chair in the corner, but not convenient to sit at. No suitcase stand. Rooms at the rear don't have noise from the freeway which is good. Biggest problem was the hallway noise - room doors are very loud & regularly woke me. March 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keller365 Sheraton on Clay Very nice hotel and staff. The staff was very helpful in everything that I requested. They were professional and prompt in the service. The facilities were clean and well kept. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Austin22 American Girl package I have a few suggestions. Put mini fridges and/or microwaves in your rooms....these are standard hotel amenities. We were so disappointed to learn that room service is only available Sun-Thurs! We couldn't get room service on a Friday night or breakfast delivered on a Saturday morning though there was a "breakfast in bed" form in our room. The AG package was good but give the customer a choice of free soda (we don't drink Coke). December 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ralliston Comfort plus We've stayed at this particular hotel many times, both because of the proximity to my family and because it is very comfortable. We prefer the club level - on most nights, you can get a snack and a glass of wine and in the morning, a little breakfast. Even on Saturday night and Sunday morning, when the full service isn't available, you can get extra coffee and drinks and use the computer. Really a nice extra. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff6219 Staff The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Jo Jo and Adriana were great bartenders, very friendly. August 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by CLPHL The Hotel experience was below par. The people at the front desk, except for Chad, were non-responsive. There was a line because guests, including myself, were calling the front desk and no one was answering the phone. On Thursday night, my husband was greeted rudely by the person at the front desk. It was about 11:30 p.m. The only bright light was Chad. He was helpful in getting room service set up for us because we had a late flight. February 18, 2013

My husband loves this bread and when I make it, I can't keep it around very long. It's easy and taste great. I think it's a light bread. Thanks for coming up with such a simple recipe, Rachel.

North Carolina job growth would be hurt if the Legislature passes House Bill 298.

Only two lower courts have agreed with the ACLU's position, but the organization is confident it will ultimately prevail because John Doe suits, it argues, are so fraught with abuse. "The vast number of these cyber-defamation cases are slap suits whose sole purpose is to shut up defendants," Beeson says. "Most of them are big-guy corporations suing little guys, and it is very unlikely they could get money from these people."
Even if the Trinity Industry lawsuit has no merit, it may have already chilled much of the rough-and-tumble discourse on the Yahoo message board. On September 16, three days before the lawsuit was filed, a Yahoo user, posting under the screen name Pro Pick R, wrote: "Where did everybody go? Used to be 10, 15 posts a day."
Certainly stkhlder3, whose real name is Barbara Penninger, has no intention of ever using the message board again. Rather than contest her identity, she chose to settle with Trinity, who learned that she was a stockholder and a travel agent who had formerly done business with Trinity executives. She had grown critical of Trinity officials after its stock plummeted last year (Penninger refused to comment for the record). As part of her settlement, she signed an affidavit admitting her mistake in publishing "statements that were disparaging to Trinity, its officers, directors, and high-ranking executives." Trinity itself posted the affidavit on the message board.
Perhaps the company had the right idea by posting the affidavit. "The best defense against falsehood is not censorship; it's truthful speech," says Barry Backer, a professor of media and culture at SMU. "If a company believes the truth is on their side, they should use these same technologies to refute these claims instead of ...possibly trampling on freedom of expression."

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
As he heads into the G20 meetings in Toronto this weekend, President Obama said that at home the administration's made "great progress" on financial regulatory reform and encouraged Congress to finish the finish line.
"As I speak, we are on the cusp of enacting the toughest financial reforms since the Great Depression," Obama said in his weekly address. "I urge Congress to take us over the finish line and send me a reform bill I can sign into law, so we can empower our people with consumer protections and help prevent a financial crisis like this from ever happening again."
President Obama said that "90 percent of the reforms" in the bill are those that he first proposed – and ticked though what the bill would do, with though who fought for it "on the verge of victory."
"Put simply, we'll end the days of taxpayer-funded bailouts and help make sure Main Street is never again held responsible for Wall Street's mistakes."
Asked by a reporter on Friday if he could get the bill through the Senate, Obama answered, "You bet."

My dog is the sweetest girl I know.She is perfectly well behaved. She loves me even when I'm not acting lovable. I wish she would live as long as I do - but she's already 10. I'm sure I will grieve over her more than I will grieve over some of my family members. http://imgur.com/w1wujdy

I have been reloading nearly 2 years, and I have only used jacketed bullets, from Montana Gold.
like everyone else, I am trying to cut costs even further. I have been reading alot about the other types of projectiles besides jacketed.
then this group buy popped up, and I have all but decided to go all in.
obviously, jacketed bullets are the highest quality vs. plated and moly-coated lead. jacketed bullets are generally more accurate, and more consistently manufactured.
I probably won't ever abandon jacketed completely. for example, I'll probably continue to use jacketed rounds for match use.
my thinking is, if I am going to the range to do a bunch of bill drills, the superior accuracy of jacketed bullets will not be noticed, but the cost savings will be.
anyone shoot moly-coated lead through a stock glock barrel? the internet consensus seems to be (depending on your specific load) it....might work.
Berry's plated bullets are gtg through a glock, right?

I stayed in the house with my 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter. Plenty of room for only three people. We each had our own floor! The house was clean. The location was great for visiting Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, or getting on the bypass to head
to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The kids loved the theater room. Blue ray, DVD and YouTube got a workout. We would definitely rent Living in Paradise again.

The cabin was our getaway for extended family, including adults and middle sized children, to one toddler and an infant. There was enough room for everyone to sleep, get away from each other when desired, yet hang out together much of the time. The central
kitchen, dining room and family room were almost as much of a hit as the theater room, decks and pool room!!! We all agreed it was everything we wanted and more! Located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, we could easily go either direction for fun. I would
definitely like to stay there again.

My husband and i were truly amazed by this cabin! We have been looking for a quiet place to get away from it all for a while now. this was perfect for us! Beautiful inside and out!! Very clean. Had everything we needed. We loved the theater room. Amazing!
There were 2 tv's that we couldnt get cable on but i think that was due to us not being technologically inclined. LOL! We had to us another entrance other than the front door when we went out. We should have called to have it checked but it was a minor inconvenience
compared to this amazing cabin. Our stay was wonderful and much needed. thank you for allowing us to stay!

Everyone in my group of 7 has a little bit of OCD and we all loved this cabin. It was very clean and spacious. We used all of the amenities and loved it all. The "theater" was a great addition. We had a little one with us and he absolutely loved watching
his cartoons on a big screen. However, it could benefit from a bigger grill and possibly a new pool table. Also the driveway was a little steep but plenty of room to turn around if you are not comfortable backing out. This will definitely be the cabin we all
rent again.

I am like most homeowners who have felt the pain of falling home values. Until this flyer, I was like most homeowners who did not know that you have a right to challenge your property tax assessment. And, importantly, you can make your challenge without fearing negative repercussions; your assessment can

DC sniper execution: why his case moved so quickly
For John Allen Muhammad, the convicted DC sniper, execution is scheduled for Tuesday night. He was tried in Virginia, which is known for hearing appeals rapidly.
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
John Allen Muhammad, the convicted D.C. sniper, is scheduled for execution in Virginia Tuesday night, after Gov. Tim Kaine (D) denied a request for clemency Tuesday afternoon.
It has been almost six years since Mr. Muhammad was sentenced to death for the murder of Dean Meyers, one of the 10 people killed during apparently random sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area in September and October 2002.
With approximately 68 months between his sentencing and scheduled execution, Muhammad's case has taken roughly half the typical duration for death-penalty cases. Nationally, it takes on average 153 months – almost 13 years – between sentencing and execution for death-row inmates, according to 2007 data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The Supreme Court noted the accelerated pace of Muhammad's execution in its decision Monday not to hear his case or delay his execution.
"By denying Muhammad's stay application, we have allowed Virginia to truncate our deliberative process on a matter – involving a death row inmate – that demands the most careful attention," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in a statement explaining the court's rejection of the Muhammad appeal. "This result is particularly unfortunate in light of the limited time Muhammad was given to make his case in the District Court."

hey there fellas. i recently picked up(bought) a TREK 1400 that i saw for sale in front of a house. i took a quick scan saw good parts upgrade, it looked my size, so i sprung for it. size 57 perfect! Happy score right? well, as a veteran, i did a rookie mistake. i failed to inspect it. i have it up on the stand and while changing out the seatpost, i discovered three cracks at the seat tube where the seat stays meet. crack where the tube splits to allow for expansion and retraction to tighten the post and two cracks on either side under the stays. the one side is all the way through, i can see/feel it from inside the seat tube. about half inch long cracks. this is their aluminum range as most of you know. i still want to tune it up to ride it, it is so nice but everything tells me no way. anyhow the shifters are at least worth what i paid. i should be able to get my money back and a little more. nothing lost, nothing gained i reckon.
Just letting you guys know to try to remember to check these things. the worst part is i have gone to purchase oldies before and have discovered cracks and said politely, no thanks. anyhow , that shiny red caught my eye and it caught me up.

Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City - page 2
hi i am new to this site and have been looking for a good program that will help me get to my ultimate goal of becoming a fnp or dnp. to give a little info about me, i am a 2004 drury university graduate with a degree in biology... Read More
- 0May 17, '10 by DCAMGI definately see what your saying. I have been replying to you morning while seeing patients,our practice is fairly busy but been a bit slow for us this month but June through August is our busy season according to the Sen. Doctor here. I will continue to get better as a DC even while I am in school since I will be workinh here 4-5 days a week throughout any program I do. I agree I would much rather do the RN program but as far as waiting to get into a LPN-BSN program I have spoken with a school and they said 90 day to my grad date to send in my transcripts and they would get me admitted and started as soon as my LPN program ended. Thats the thing I have noticed about nursing there are a lot of online programs. Personally I don't care what school I get my nursing degree from just as long as I have good clincals. To be honest classroom work can be done online, self study, in class it really doesn't matter, its all about the clincals thats where all the real learning and skills take place. I bet I learned more in my 1yr of clincals and twice as much in my first year of practice then I learned in all the 7 years of course work combined before my clinicals.
- 0May 21, '10 by DCAMGI am, I decided to reapply after withdrawing from the day program today. Kinda sucks since I had everything ready to go from CPR cert to background check but I know I'll get in next fall, if I did it once I can do it again. Plus concords lpn program is 29k$ and it isn't regionally accredited.
- 0Jun 8, '10 by shoegalRNWell, if you want more clinical time, then Penn Valley is the way to go. I have a BSN, and I used to see junior students in their third semester doing their clinicals at Research. They were handling a full patient load (up to 4 pts on their own) while our senior students were only handling 1-2 patients. They didnt spend all their time making up powerpoints and doing Leadership like we did in my BSN program.

The trouble with Access-A-Ride, againBy
Over the years, I've touched upon the problem with the MTA's Access-A-Ride offerings. Essentially, the paratransit service is in response to the unfunded ADA requirements, and the MTA estimates that the door-to-door service costs nearly $66 per ride. It is, in other words, a giant money suck for a cash-strapped agency, but one in which it must participate due to federal law.
Lately, the authority has begun to discuss ways to cut its annual expense — which grew to over $440 million last year. As The Daily News reported a few weeks ago, the MTA may just offer up free MetroCards for those who would otherwise qualify for Access-A-Ride service. The MTA says that just a fifth of all Access-A-Ride users are wheelchair-bound, and the rest should be able to use the bus or subway with the assistance of a caregiving who can ride for free. Allen Cappelli of the MTA Board said of the new plan, "There's really no downside to it that I can see."
Disabilities advocates and disabled riders see otherwise. "People don't use use Access-A-Ride for the fun of it," Edith Prentiss, a vice president of Disabled in Action, said. Still, as The News notes, agencies in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, have implemented similar plans successfully. It apparently does not run afoul of federal law and could save the MTA upwards of $96 million a year.
Yesterday, The News' editorial board sounded off on the MTA's plan. From the new plan, they claim, we can draw "two disturbing conclusions":
The first is that thousands of people who are listed as eligible for Access-a-Ride service are not too disabled to use the subways and buses. The second is that Access-a-Ride service is so terrible that, given the slightest monetary benefit, even truly disabled people will mount herculean struggles to avoid it.
While MTA staff members say similar plans have cut costs in other cities, Chairman Joe Lhota should think more broadly and should do so in coordination with Mayor Bloomberg, who needs a hand to untangle the taxi mess his administration has created. Together, Lhota and Bloomberg should study moving toward shifting at least some passengers off the Access-a-Ride program's clunky, unreliable vans and into wheelchair-accessible cabs and livery cars.
Provided it clamped down on eligibility — a most critical element — the MTA might well be able to deliver improved transportation at lower cost, Bloomberg might well be able to remake taxi service under an economically viable structure and the disabled might well be able to get around more conveniently.
The News has no better solution for the various stakeholders other than "work it out." They want the MTA to work with the city and the Taxi & Limousine Commission to come up with a cost- and ride-sharing scheme that removes the some of the fiscal pressure from the MTA while providing adequate taxi service for the city's disabled. In an ideal situation in which the city works well with state agencies, such a call may be heeded, but the MTA and New York City do not have the best track record when it comes to such cooperation.
The real eye-opener here though are the costs. Access-A-Ride service costs around $500 million annually, and the cost per rider are astronomical. A door-to-door taxi ride from most points in the city to any other doesn't cost that much, and we can only imagine what the MTA could do to make its system more accessible if it could invest this money in physical upgrades rather than $60-per-person rides. This is one problem clearly in need of a comprehensive solution.

Hell… Give me $50/rider and I'll drive around all day taking top-notch care of all the disabled people in my section of Brooklyn.
If the free metrocard idea doesn't make it past the lawsuits, couldn't the users be given instead $40 vouchers each day to use taxis and car services?
Most taxicabs are completely non-accessible in NYC.
This is a scandal in itself. London has 100% wheelchair-accessible taxis and they're used by most people with mobility impairments (canes, walkers, etc.)
Will the free Metrocards be an optional alternative to AAR, or will people with free Metrocards be disqualified from AAR? If the former, I see no conceivable reason to object to giving away Metrocards.
From the article:
"The first is that thousands of people who are listed as eligible for Access-a-Ride service are not too disabled to use the subways and buses. The second is that Access-a-Ride service is so terrible that, given the slightest monetary benefit, even truly disabled people will mount herculean struggles to avoid it."
The first, if true, I assume is not MTA's fault. The second is not necessarily true, if the Metrocard is an optional alternative to AAR. Perhaps none of the disabled people will use their free Metrocards and all will remain with AAR. If so, then what has been lost? Only the minimal overhead of distributing Metrocards. And for every disabled rider who DOES decides to ride the subway rather than AAR, both they and MTA have won.
I'm not sure running AAR is something that's best done by government anyway. Maybe it would be better to eliminate AAR, have disabled people submit their taxi receipts or whatever to MTA, and pay them 90% back. Buses and subways have to be government-run because otherwise company X would schedule their bus for 1 minute before company Y's bus, taking all of Y's passengers and making the buses effectively less frequent (this is a form of "prisoner's dilemma" where the free market breaks down). This issue is not present regarding single-passenger vehicles (as with AAR) so better to rely on the free market's competition and resulting efficiency.
AAR is run by the free market. The MTA puts the service out to bid and several different vendors bid to provide the service. The extreme cost is because of the inefficiency of the system. There is too much required availability for too few users. Unless you start scaling back availability there is no other significant cost savings in the current system.
Unless you start scaling back availability there is no other significant cost savings in the current system.
Hours of ARA need to match the hours of the regular transit system, so scaling back the availability of the service violates the ADA.
It's been pointed out that if the whole taxi fleet were accessible (which it isn't) it would provide a much cheaper way to provide AAR.
"Maybe it would be better to eliminate AAR, have disabled people submit their taxi receipts or whatever to MTA, and pay them 90% back. "
If the Taxi and Limousine Commission required that all the taxis be accessible, this would work. But as it is, there are basically no accessible taxis in NYC. See the problem?…. This is actually something which United Spinal has been suing over.
The vans are a real hazard to navigation. They stink and they ride on streets and roads that they have no business being on, such as the FDR Drive and the Jackie Robinson Parkway.
Additionally, if someone is truly non-ambulatory, then they should be eligible for some kind of subsidized program, but if someone has simply lived an unhealthy life, and is grossly overweight as a result, why do I need to subsidize their comfy ride at 2,900% of what I'm paying for my miserable subway ride?! For that matter, why am I paying that much for anyone's else's ride!
So where do you draw the line? Do we only care for people with congenital defects, but abandon those hurt by poor lifestyle choices? Maybe they're morbidly obese but that has nothing to do with their handicap. Then there are those who are of normal weight but wound up debilitated because they would not take their medications or listen to their doctors. What about injuries as a result of risky sports or just dumb decisions?
It's a tough question, no doubt, to distinguish eligibility and thankfully I don't have to decide. But $132/day to ferry someone back and forth to their job? Corporate car services aren't even that expensive, and yet we all qvetch about the bankers using them instead of getting on the train instead.
Unfortunately a lot of the cases of gross overweight are due to things like untreated diabetes — stuff where if we had a single-payer health care system, we might have been able to catch and stop it earlier, but we didn't and now we can't.
The cost of para-transit is such that transit systems across the country have been instituting restrictions on who is eligible for the service. One of the restrictions involves transit systems buying accessable busses. In many cases para-transit users are being transitioned to rideing the main line transit service knowing that the para-transit service will bee there if it is needed.
By now, most if not all bus transit systems are 100% accessable, the trouble is getting to & from the bus stops them selves, especially when there's a wheelchair. This issue falls on the local government, i, e Bloomburg in this case in making the transition as smooth as possible.
The gross non-accessibility of the NYC subway system — which is not accessible to your average person with a cane, let alone a wheelchair — accounts for some of the huge demand for Access-A-Ride in NY.
Systems which have fully accessible rail and fully accessible buses have added "travel training" (for people, such as those with poor eyesight, who are uncomfortable using the system), and are left with their paratransit system carrying mostly
(1) people from places where the sidewalks are not functional (so they can't get to bus stops); and
(2) dialysis patients. There turn out to be a lot of these. There should probably be a special program to fund transportation just for them.
If the Federal government wants to mandate Access-a-Ride, then they should pay for it!! Mobility for the disabled is an idea that anyone can get behind. But why should the burden of paying for it be put solely on public transit riders?
Correction, the burden falls on the transit agency & contracted partners who provide the service. The last thing you want to do is be embroiled in a legal fight with the government over an ADA mandate.
A lot of federal funding (maybe even all of it) depends on them having a paratransit system, so in a way, the feds are paying for AAR.
AAR its one of the biggest scam that the "MTA/NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT" has all this so called Access A Ride Carrier's work under a contract with nyct the carrier's pays minimum to the drivers dispatcher's road sup they service qualities are really poor they don't care about the disable people MTA just want their money from the federal Gov.
MTA should cut the carrier's and take over AAR every single contract they have with this AAR carrier's are millions of dollars a year its not just the cost of $60 for the door to door service MTA provides the AAR vehicle,gas,toll's,vehicle service, that's putting money on the hand of the owners of these carrier's…
Okay, looking at this from a resident of a city that doesn't contract out Dial-A-Ride services, I think that it's good idea.
The first thing that MTA should do is, phase out contracting AAR. Do the same thing they did with independent bus companies. Buy them out, bring it in house. That will reduce unnecessary cost.
Metro St. Louis' Call-A-Ride (CAR? Get it?) is a financial black hole, too. With our low density sprawling suburbs, there's no way they can do it without a a deficit.
Then challenge the government on it's unfunded ADA mandate.
"The MTA says that just a fifth of all Access-A-Ride users are wheelchair-bound, and the rest should be able to use the bus or subway with the assistance of a caregiving who can ride for free. "
Not the subway. The subway has too many stairs. There are a lot of people with mobility problems such as arthritis who can walk short distances or take a few stairs, but can't handle the full-flight staircases of the subway system.
This is something the MTA *should have been* proactively fixing, but instead it's been dragging its feet on subway station accessibility.
Exactly. Buses are very limited in where they go. A free MetroCard isn't going to result in more riders using the subway if they cannot negotiate the stairs.
Dear Nathanel:
I am an AAR rider and I am not wheelchair bound however, I suffer from MS and I have other health issues besides this. I feel that by you saying that it should only be for people who are wheelchair bound that is ridiculous. People who have back injuries such as I have besides my ms due to a car accident should be able to use access a ride. I can not walk upstairs and in the mta system not every station has elevators or escalators. So you really should have a little more consideration. Do you have someone in your family who is elderly or sick or disabled I hope they don't ever have to suffer what I go through with AAR. The program stinks but if I didn't need it I would not use it.
Seems no one has mentioned two other factors: 1. Demographics – Baby boomers like myself are entering older age and will need AAR in probably greater numbers than currently.
2. Better route management using GPS based systems to lower transit time.
Granted AAR will never be cost competitive with standard public transit but the burden could be reduced both off and on the buses.
I have been handicapped three times (2 back operations, 1 heart attack) while living outside of NYC. Now back in good health (except for a problem knee) I use the MTA. AAR users are frequently fragile, slow moving, delicate, as I was before and after surgery. We/They are out-of-shape at least temporarily. It is best to poll former AAR users to see how instrumental it was in their recovery process.
Wow- "the rest should be able to use the bus or subway". Disability is not synonymous with "wheelchair". Subway stairs are prohibitive! In fact, the walking distance *between* elevators in many stations make travel difficult for those of us with restricted movement.
The subway is a huge failure when it comes to disability access.
Thank you victoria someone with some type of sense.
As An AAR worker,,,the system fails because of the ridership that take advantage of the system free taxi vo for trips not taken unlimited voucher trips i ve seen one person take 20 or more in one day..the service was stopped to empire casino in yonkers but does brisk business to resorts world in queens person knowing the rules about the be outside policy and refuse to come out,,are given numerous rides from home to wherever they go most of which are medically qualified if you want this system to work come to us the workers and we of various experience levels can show you how to stop wasting money,,,we know the scams and can stop and save the public money..there is so much the public has not been told that we know that goes on at aar!!!
This is public transportation for the disabled. People with disabilities do not have to be home stuck in their houses if they want to go out and have their hair done or go do some shopping what's the problem. This is what this is for. This is the only public transportation for people with disabilities. You work for AAR I agree that people are taking advantage we are only allowed 2 round trips so by saying that someone is taking the AAR 20 times is over exaggerating.
Don't be coy. Tell us what bright solutions suggestions you can share with us. Thx

For coin stuck in throat, pushing it down OK
April 11, 2008
When a kid has swallowed a coin and it's stuck in the throat, it's safe for emergency physicians or other doctors to use a flexible instrument to push it into the stomach rather than try to pull it up, according to a new report.
With bougienage, as the procedure is called, the goal is to push the coin down so it can then enter the digestive tract and be passed out in the natural course of events. Someone trained in the procedure can insert and withdraw the "bougie" in 5 seconds or less. No anesthesia is necessary, other than perhaps an anesthetic spray applied to the back of the child's throat.
In many cases, however, an endoscope is inserted into the throat in an effort to grasp the coin and pull it up, according to the report in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. Endoscopy in these circumstances is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room.
To compare the safety and effectiveness of these procedures, a research team led by Dr. Joseph Leo Arms, from the Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota in Minneapolis, assessed the outcomes of 620 patients who were treated over a 12 year period at one of their emergency departments for a coin stuck in the esophagus.
The average age of the patients was 3.7 years. Bougienage was used to manage 372 cases while 248 were treated with endoscopy.
Bougienage failed to do the trick for only 17 patients, all of whom were then successfully treated with endoscopy. Endoscopy was successful in all but one patient.
On average, the length of stay with endoscopy was 6.1 hours with an average hospital charge of $6087, whereas with bougienage, the stay was just 2.2 hours at a charge of $1884.
"Although several management options are available, in properly screened patients, bougienage is highly successful and safe and may provide significant savings of time and money," Arms' team concludes.
The findings from a large case series indicate that bougienage is a safe and effective alternative to endoscopy for removing coins acutely lodged in the esophagus. Moreover, use of bougienage may markedly reduce the length of stay and hospital charges.
Of 372 treated patients, bougienage was successful in all but 17, the report indicates. No complications occurred in any of the patients

AFGHANISTAN/EAST ASIA/FSU/MESA - BBC Monitoring quotes from Pakistan's press 6 Oct 11 - RUSSIA/CHINA/ISRAEL/AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN/INDIA/US/UK
Released on 2012-10-16 17:00 GMT
|2011-10-06 09:59:08
The following is a selection of quotes from editorials published in 6
October editions of Urdu and Pashto Pakistani newspapers available to
Agreements signed between Afghanistan, India to boost strategic
Nawa-i-Waqt (Rawalpindi-based conservative nationalist Urdu daily):
"India has inked three agreements with Afghanistan on strategic
interests and mutual cooperation under which India will help the Afghan
government in security matters and train the Afghan troops... Threats to
Pakistan have multiplied after the agreements were signed between the
two countries. It is the duty of our government and military leadership
to combat these threats."
Daily Express (Islamabad edition of Karachi-based widely-sold moderate
Urdu daily): "Afghan President Hamed Karzai, Indian rulers and the US
administration should change their attitude of neglecting facts about
Pakistan, peace in the region and the menace of terrorism. First, Mike
Mullen levelled allegations and then started the series of explanations.
Even the Obama administration has not verified the allegations, then why
was the havoc played?"
Ummat (Karachi-based pan-Islamist pro-Bin-Ladin Urdu daily critical of
US, Israel, India): "Whatever Hamed Karzai and Manmohan Singh have said
against Pakistan in New Delhi can better explain his (Karzai's)
animosity towards Pakistan and his status as the US puppet. The Muslims
of the world should know that the US, Russia, UK, India and Israel are
not their friends. The rulers of Muslim countries are responsible for
their miseries."
Ausaf (Islamabad-based pro-jihadist Urdu daily): "The real target of the
US is Pakistan, not Afghanistan. It has been tightening the siege around
the nuclear Pakistan. Today, it has sandwiched Pakistan between India
and Afghanistan. Is it not time for the use to talk clearly to our
time-tested friend China? We should know how far can China go with us in
the trial. In such a sensitive time, we should not have any
misconceptions. We will have trust in Allah and in our own arms."
US allegations against Pakistan
Nawa-i-Waqt (Rawalpindi-based conservative nationalist Urdu daily): "A
US newspaper report said that the US threats and allegations against
Pakistan show its hypocrisy and tactics to bring Pakistan under
pressure... Pakistan has suffered a lot in the US war against terrorism.
Our military and political leadership should now understand the dual
policies of the US. Pakistan should get rid of the US war as soon as
possible and prepare for every situation."
US "aggression" in Pakistan, Afghanistan
Khabaroona (Peshawar-based moderate Pashto daily): "Only Pashtuns have
been killed in the ongoing war on terrorism launched by the US in the
region 10 years ago... and after badly oppressing the Pashtuns in
Afghanistan, the US now wants to oppress the Pashtuns in Pakistan
also... If the US wants to prevent its defeat in the region then it
should immediately withdraw the war against the Pashtun nation and
change its policy because the Pashtun nation cannot tolerate any foreign
Pashtun Post (Peshawar-based secular Pashto daily supportive of Awami
National Party): "Regrettably, only Pashtuns... in Pakistan and
Afghanistan are being targeted in the ongoing US-led war, which is a
huge conspiracy against the Pashtuns... The US and other countries'
attempts will never succeed but only if, all Pashtuns unite on a single
platform and launch a struggle for their rights ... The Pashtuns should
end their differences in order to defeat their enemies completely and
establish peace on their soil."

Nashua mayor's veto of union contract provision upheld
Although the Board of Aldermen previously approved one of the proposed bargaining agreements with the Nashua Police Supervisors Association, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau recently vetoed one line item of the four-year contract that permits sick days to pay for retroactive health care costs.
Police supervisors have 120 days of sick time that can be accrued and paid out during retirement, according to Lozeau, who said that payout is about $38,000 for sergeants and about $41,000 for lieutenants.
She maintained, however, that the majority of those funds would not actually be returned to the health care program because the supervisors will still have adequate time to accrue those missing 15 days before retiring. It could set a dangerous precedent if other police unions — specifically the patrolmen's union — attempted to take similar action, she said.
Nashua Police Chief John Seusing stood before the mayor and aldermen before their vote, asking city officials to again support the supervisors contract as it was approved three weeks ago with the sick time provision included.
The agreement with the police supervisors includes a combined 6.7 percent wage increase for sergeants and a combined 7.7 percent pay hike for lieutenants over a four-year period.
A second agreement with the police department's UAW Local 2232 was also presented on Tuesday. That proposal will be reviewed by an aldermanic committee for further review.
