Honolulu FBI Targets Stimulus Fraud with New Hotline
|FBI Honolulu February 03, 2011
Frank Montoya, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the Honolulu Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced today the establishment of a hotline for reporting fraud related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The Honolulu FBI government fraud hotline number is 808-545-2577.
By way of background, the ARRA was enacted by the U.S. Congress in February 2009 and was intended to create jobs and promote investment and consumer spending during the recession. The measures taken by the federal government were worth $787 billion spread among all U.S. states and territories. To date, the state of Hawaii has been awarded approximately $1.5 billion in stimulus funds.
"History has shown that when large sums of money become available in the form of government contracts, a sizable percentage of that money can be lost to waste, fraud, and abuse," said Honolulu FBI Special Agent in Charge Frank Montoya, Jr. "We want to ensure that citizens who become aware of fraud have a place to turn." Accordingly, the Honolulu FBI established a telephone hotline wherein anyone can make a complaint regarding governmental fraud relating to the ARRA.
According to the website www.recovery.gov, top Hawaii recipients of ARRA funds include:
- Hawaii Department of Education - $203 million
- University of Hawaii Systems - $174 million
- Hawaii Department of Transportation - $151 million
- City and County of Honolulu - $85 million
- Executive Office of the State of Hawaii - $78 million
Anyone with information to provide regarding government contract fraud is encouraged to call the FBI government fraud hotline at 808-545-2577.

Rising Sea Levels and Less Rain: Better Science to Hone Climate Change Warnings
The next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts won't be released until late 2013. But insiders say that thanks to faster computers and better models, the report will offer more precise predictions and adjust anticipated changes in sea levels and precipitation.
The world's climate forecasting specialists will soon be releasing much-anticipated new predictions concerning a number of extremely weighty questions: How warm will the climate really get? Will sea levels continue to rise? Where will it rain more, and where less?
The field of climate research has advanced since the IPCC's last assessment report, released in 2007, as computers have grown faster and models more complex. In fact, these developments make what insiders say the IPCC's message will be all the more astonishing: The new forecasts, they say, will be more or less the same as the old ones, just more precise.
The scientists' simulations show that if humans continue to emit the same amount of greenhouse gases into the air, the average global temperature will rise by an additional 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). The Earth has already grown warmer by about 1 degree Celsius over the last 100 years, making a total change of 3 degrees Celsius. In Germany, that amounts to the difference in climate between the northern city of Hamburg and Freiburg in the south of the country.
The IPCC is also expected to adjust the projected rise in sea levels slightly upward. The last assessment report predicted a fairly conservative range of 18 to 59 centimeters (7 to 23 inches). In retrospect, most oceanographers and glaciologists find that estimate too low and say it fails to adequately take into account data suggesting that mountain glaciers and Greenland's continental ice will melt more quickly than initially predicted. The new IPCC report is expected to predict that coastal waters may rise almost a meter (3.3 feet) higher than they are today -- although that level won't be reached for 100 years.
Changed Predictions
The IPCC's predictions concerning precipitation, on the other hand, may be more conservative than in the previous assessment. Computer models certainly show a clear trend: In places where it already rains a great deal, it will rain even more; and where it is currently dry, it will grow even drier. That's the theory, at least. The only problem is that, so far, these forecasts have not matched reality.
Wind is another area where the IPCC is expected to retract previous warnings. There has been widespread concern that increased global warming could bring about more serious storms, but current long-range forecasts don't suggest such a trend. In fact, the number of hurricanes each year is expected to drop, although peak winds in tropical storms may increase somewhat.
The forecasts for moderate latitudes are even more unambiguous. In regions outside the tropics -- Central Europe, for example -- storms will become neither more frequent nor more serious.

Suárez, Mauricio (2004) Causal Processes and Propensities in Quantum Mechanics. [Preprint]
Download (190Kb) | Preview
In an influential article published in 1982, Bas Van Fraassen developed an argument against causal realism on the basis of an analysis of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations of quantum mechanics. Several philosophers of science and experts in causal inference – including some causal realists like Wesley Salmon – have accepted Van Fraassen's argument, interpreting it as a proof that the quantum correlations cannot be given any causal model. In this paper I argue that Van Fraassen's article can also be interpreted as a good guide to the different causal models available for the EPR correlations, and their relative virtues. These models in turn give us insight into some of the unusual features that quantum propensities might have.

More than any other sport, baseball is a game of averages. You'll see it on our site, and throughout the industry – analysts point out that most numbers will work their way toward the mean over time. This is particularly true with some of the advanced metrics (BABIP, HR/FB%, and others) – if a pitcher (or hitter) is considerably higher or lower than the league average in these areas most stat-heads will be calling for a regression (or progression) in his overall numbers.
With that in mind, the premise of this post is pretty straight forward: we're looking at hitters and pitchers whose peripheral numbers have been worse than you'd expect through the first two months of the season and will assess whether the fantasy community should expect a significant enough turn around to boost their overall value.
The methodology was quite simple. Using the following tables (hitters | pitchers) pulled from FanGraphs on June 9, I looked at the 50 batters with the lowest BABIP in the league and cross referenced that BABIP with their line drive rate. LD% is generally a strong indicator of batting average – if you're hitting the ball hard, it should be dropping in more often. I ruled out those hitters with a K rate over 25% because…well, if you strike out more than a quarter of the time you probably deserve some of what you get, average wise. With the pitchers, I sorted BABIP high to low and looked at those hurlers who are stranding fewer than average base runners (roughly 72%) and giving up more than the roughly 10% HR/FB that is used to calculate expected fielder independent pitching.
The links to the full tables above, but I've highlighted those players that most stood out in the above categories.
These unlucky fantasy baseball assets make for great buy-low trade targets.
2014 MLB Unlucky Hitters
Brian McCann, C, New York Yankees – .232 BABIP, .225 AVG, 22.5% LD
I was incredibly high on McCann coming into the season and while his first season in the lefty friendly confines of Yankee Stadium hasn't been all that disappointing, it certainly hasn't measured up to expectations. Five of his seven long balls have come in New York (with each of the seven from left center to the dead pull side of the field). His other home/road splits are fairly even, and with a .225 average McCann just isn't getting on base. Still, he's hitting the ball hard enough with 22.5% of his at bats producing line drives.
The good news here is that there isn't much in the spray chart data to suggest that McCann is changing his swing with the tantalizing short porch in left field on his mind, and he seems to be just getting unlucky in his at bats. He has produced a season-long BABIP in this range before, but during the 2011 campaign McCann was striking out more frequently and was hitting 7% fewer liners. Further, at just 9.3% his HR/FB ratio is three points off his career average, seven off last season's and the lowest mark of his career. June is yet another rough month to date, but I expect the perennial all star to turn things around and the data supports that assertion – we're not looking at a player who has suddenly lost his power stroke, simply someone who hasn't had great luck to date.
Alejandro De Aza, OF, Chicago White Sox – .234 BABIP, .199 AVG, 23.7% LD
De Aza isn't necessarily a household fantasy name, but he was a relevant fantasy asset in 2013 and has been incredibly unlucky to start the 2014 campaign. His .199 average is 66 points behind his .265 career mark. With a couple of big games to start the season (three home runs in the opening series), he looked like a player who would remain on our radars this year but he finished April hitting just .185 with four home runs and May wasn't much better.
It is almost unfathomable that a player could hit nearly 24% line drives and bat under .200 but that has been the case for De Aza so far. In eight June contests, though, his luck appears to be shifting with eight hits (four of them for extra bases) and a .471 batting average this month. His big swing and 23.5% K rate (basically, he hits a liner or he whiffs half of the time) help explain the low BA to a degree, but not this far below his career norm. The seven year vet is going to continue to get at bats in LF for Chicago, and the numbers suggest better outcomes ahead.
Nick Swisher, 1B/OF, Cleveland Indians – .263 BABIP, .211 AVG, 24.3% LD
Swisher, like De Aza, is dangerously close to our strikeout rate cutoff and that has him hitting for a low average, but with a .263 ball in play average despite hitting a line drive in just about a quarter of his trips to the plate the numbers don't stand up. He has exhibited a good eye this season, and boats an OBP a full 100 points above his average. That coupled with his LD% suggests that Swisher is still seeing the ball well in his age 33 season.
Unlike De Aza, his average has actually been fairly fungible in his career, fluctuating from season to season. It hasn't been this low since 2008 though, and while he still hit a high percentage of balls hard that season, his HR/FB sat at 14.8% which is consistent with his career average of 14.4%. This year: 5.0% of his balls hit in the air leave the park. As much as anything else, this is impacting his average and overall production numbers. He just returned from the DL last night (June 12) and will hope to get things back on track at the plate now that he is healthy. There is little reason to assume that the leader of Brohio Nation can't be productive the rest of the way despite his slow start.
Buster Posey, C, San Francisco Giants – .276 BABIP, .270 BA, 22.9% LD
Posey's .270-8-29-25 line hasn't been all bad, but if you trust the line drive numbers it should be better. He rarely strikes out (13.1%) and has been squaring up the ball (22.9%LD, 13.3% HR/FB). Both his average and BABIP to this point in the season represent career lows, and the peripheral numbers suggest they are in for a rebound. His overall contact rate, swinging strike percentage and other relevant numbers are in line with career norms.
We may not see the 2011 (.336, 24HR) Posey the rest of the way, but a climb back to last year's .312 BABIP should be a reasonably easy feat given that he is hitting more fly balls for homers, and more line drives overall.
Jose Reyes, SS, Toronto Blue Jays – .281 BABIP, .259 BA, 21.1% LD
Dealing with injuries and a general sluggish start, Reyes' got out of the gate slowly – mirroring his team's performance (or perhaps the team struggled while waiting for Reyes to heat up atop the lineup). Regardless, he hit just .200 in April but has 46 hits and 14 steals in the 39 games he has appeared in since the calendar turned to May. Overall, his .281 BABIP is probably a little low for a player with his speed and a 21.1% line drive rate, and we are already starting to see that impact play out. If his owner in your league focused on his cumulative numbers as opposed to his recent production, you may find value in Reyes the rest of the way.
2014 MLB Unlucky Pitchers
Brandon McCarthy, Arizona Diamondbacks – .336 BABIP, 64.3% LOB, 21.4% HR/FB
That all of the statistics of reference are way out of whack could be interpreted as a sign that McCarthy isn't throwing the ball well, or that he has been the recipient of some awful luck to date. Starting with his awful 1-9 record though, it is pretty easy to side on the hard luck side of things with the Arizona SP. In nine of his 14 starts, he has been afforded two runs or fewer of support. His record being what it is is just one way in which McCarthy is throwing better than the numbers bear.
He is struggling to strand runners, and is giving up a lot of hits – both of which are signs of poor pitching, sure, but also of bad luck. He has never done a great job of leaving opposing base runners on, but the 64.3% strand rate is easily a career low. The .336 BABIP – easily a career high (though it should be noted that at .320 last season he was well above what we expected also). McCarthy is producing ground balls at the best rate of his career, typically a sign of a pitcher on the rise, but when opponents do get lift on the ball they are hitting it out of the park at more than double last year's 10.3% HR/FB rate. Again, part of that can be attributed to being hittable but much of it appears to be sheer poor luck. His HR/FB rate leads the Majors by more than 3% and while someone has to lead in even the bad categories, that he is that far clear of his peers doesn't add up, particularly when you consider that he is throwing the ball harder and striking out more batters (8.05 K/9 is three batters more than last season, and the 76 ks in 85 innings match his 135 IP total from 2013) than he ever has.
Perhaps McCarthy is just taking some time to adjust to his new approach. His ERA is near six so far in June, just as bad as it was in April but eventually things are expected to turn in his direction – if McCarthy remains available on your waiver wire he is worth a speculative add. At some point, things are due to even out.
A.J. Burnett, Pittsburgh Pirates – .309 BABIP, 68.9% LOB, 12.1% HR/FB
Burnett makes the list because the numbers suggest that he should, though it should be noted that he was hit to the tune of a similar BABIP last year. The biggest issue in terms of his hittability and his inflated WHIP/ERA relates to his lessened K rate. You can afford last year's .305 BABIP if you are striking out nearly 10 batters per nine innings as he was, but at a more remedial 7.89 K/9 makes it a little tougher to pitch around the base hits. The reality is, that at 37-years-old Burnett may be showing the effects of ageing that he had been successfully able to stave off. The confluence of above-average numbers suggests that maybe he'll be able to lessen his ratios over the second half of the season, but he has lost velocity on his fastball this season and may just be a run of the mill older starter, certainly not what the Phillies or his fantasy owners bargained for.
Ubaldo Jimenez, Baltimore Orioles – .306 BABIP, 71.9% LOB, 12.9% HR/FB
Speaking of free agents from this past offseason who aren't giving teams what they bargained for, Ubaldo Jimenez hasn't had a lot to offer the Orioles. In a further similarity, he sported a BABIP over .300 last season as well but the difference in his ERA is stark (3.30 vs. 5.01). In his case, it is again a matter of a declining K/9 rate and more base runners. With Jimenez, the issue revolves all around free passes.
At 5.14 BB/9 with a K/9 under 8.5 his numbers look very comparable to 2012's as compared to last year's more impressive mark. Again, at 8.5 he is still getting a lot of swings and misses, and if he can get his walks under control we should see a better second half from Ubaldo. Right now though, he's giving up more than two more base runners per nine innings on walks alone that the league average starter.
Dan Haren, Los Angeles Dodgers – .297 BABIP, 67.5% LOB, 13.2% HR/FB
His Dodgers' career started strong but May and June have been unkind to Haren. He sports an ERA well above four over his last eight starts. Through the course of the season he has been hittable (and of course you can glean that from a BABIP of .297), seeing just a 6.8% swinging strike percentage and the proportionate rise in opponent's overall contact against.
Throwing just 87.3 MPH on average, we'd expect that from Haren and would expect him to be hittable. Neverthless, that he has posted a cumulative 3.49 ERA despite high BABIP and HR/FB coupled with a low 67.5% strand rate I'm inclined to think that the numbers are sustainable through the season. You'll get your ups and downs with the veteran, but it isn't like he has been pitching above his ability to date.
Tyson Ross, San Diego Padres – .295 BABIP, 68.9% LOB, 13.5% HR/FB
Ross is perhaps the most intriguing case of the bunch as he has been everything fantasy analysts (myself included) had hoped through the first 2+ months of the season. With a sub 3.00 ERA, a solid WHIP and a K/9 near 9.00 the 27-year-old starter looks great in his first season as a full time starter. Ignoring the question of any potential innings cap facing a pitcher who threw just 125 of them last season, we should be able to expect the ratios to sustain themselves through the rest of the campaign.
His peripheral numbers suggest a pitcher who has been on the bad side of fortune, as opposed to someone who has been overly lucky. Of note, he has been getting ground balls more than 60% of the time which makes his heightened 13.5% HR/FB ratio much easier to endure. The ground balls themselves are a good sign though, and with a slider that has graded as tough to hit by FanGraphs' standards over the last two seasons he should be able to keep it up.

Cyclones Fall To No. 22 Texas, 56-3
AMES, Iowa—Texas' Colt McCoy completed 23-of-30 passes and threw for four touchdowns, as the 22-ranked Longhorns defeated Iowa State, 56-3, Saturday afternoon in Jack Trice Stadium. ISU drops to 1-6 with the loss, while UT improves to 5-2.
It took just one play from scrimmage for
The Cyclones showed some resolve after the kickoff by mounting a 76-yard drive which began at their own nine-yard line. However, the Cyclones were unable to tally any points, as Bret Culbertson missed a 30-yard field goal. UT then padded its lead to 14-0 when it took its next drive 80 yards on 10 plays. McCoy hit Quan Cosby from six yards out to cap the scoring drive.
ISU's offense again showed signs of life on its next series. The Cyclones used a couple of trick plays to tally a 12-play, 67-yard drive that ended with a 25-yard field goal from Culbertson to make it a 14-3 game with 11:15 left in the first half. The drive was highlighted by a reverse pass from Todd Blythe to Bret Meyer that resulted in a 21-yard gain.
After that, it was all
McCoy continued his outstanding performance in the second half. He recorded his fourth touchdown pass early in the period to make it a 35-3 UT advantage, then scrambled 44 yards for a touchdown to improve the Longhorn lead to 49-3 right before the third quarter.
The Cyclones were led by Jason Scales, who rushed for 77 yards on 19 carries. UT had a 514-228 advantage in total offense.
ISU is back in action next weekend, playing host to

Slow Cooker
This review is from: Maxi-Matic Elite MST-900V Stainless Steel 8.5 Qt. Deluxe Sized Slow Cooker
Pros: Cooks fast on high and keeps soup and chili hot enough on warm to eat right from the pot without having to reheat. Holds enough to feed 12 to 15 people. Wanted one this size years ago but couldn't afford it.
Cons: None, Yet!!!
Did you find this review helpful?
Works fine, quality just OK
This review is from: Maxi-Matic Elite MST-900V Stainless Steel 8.5 Qt. Deluxe Sized Slow Cooker
Pros: Big, was looking for something like this to do larger batches, does the job so far on a couple of recipes. Handles are more robust that my old crock pot and hopefully won't crack over time.
Cons: Glass cover is warped, rocks, does not fit on pot evenly; exterior seems to get noticeably hotter that my old crockpot
Other Thoughts: Decent value at $25 if it lasts a few year, time will tell.
Did you find this review helpful?
It's bigger on the inside
This review is from: Maxi-Matic Elite MST-900V Stainless Steel 8.5 Qt. Deluxe Sized Slow Cooker
Pros: It heats pretty fast, even for its size. It keeps stable temperatures even after running all day and night. The metal outside cools down faster than most crock pots due, but it seems to hold the heat in the ceramic very well. The price is amazing when compared to every other brand, even compared to the size or not. THE SIZE IS GREAT! With four kids that love my cooking, who are teenagers, this is the size to get. There are no leftovers with them, but nobody is hungry and that is what counts. I've cooked things in it that only took up half the pot, and doesn't over heat the food with the lid on.
Cons: It's not a 10 quart slow cooker. Never seen one, and doubt I ever will. If you have a lot of people to feed and want leftovers, this one wouldn't be big enough.
Other Thoughts: It will hold exactly 8.5 quarts without the lid on. Pretty much every other brand will say they are a certain size, but fall short every time by at least half a quart or more.

RuniX is a tile matching game, but with a twist! Of course, the tiles must be the same design in order to match them and remove them from the game. However, there must also be a clear path between the tiles. The definition of a clear path is: you must be able to draw a line between the two tiles that have no more than two bends in it. The game will show you the path choosen after a valid match -- it won't take long to get the hang of it.
RuniX includes several variations on the basic game as well as many different and lovely sets of runes. Changing to a new game variant will alter the rules of the game. Changing to a new tile set will more...

Very very good I made this soup couple days ago I've been eating it every night the flavors are just intense but soothing it is very comforting food dish. I did use spinach next time I'll use more spinach and I used seasoned diced tomatoes with basil and oregano. If you have points to spare I recommend eating it with a slice of naan bread delicious.
It didn't knock our socks off but it was basically good and filling. Also we know all of it was very healthy.
easy to prepare, great flavor and extremely filling. I skipped the green salsa and added red salsa. Also stores well
This was the first WeightWatchers recipe that my husband and I tried since we began the online program in late December. We did not use the squash, but added carrots and cabbage. We were very pleased with this recipe. It was delicious! We have a lot of venison in the freezer from a successful deer season. We will use ground venison instead of the sausage next time.

With their bowlers, waistcoats and cold-eyed stares, these mugshots of Victorian criminals show that while yesteryear's felons might have been more genteel, they were no less intimidating.
The police portraits are from a Manchester Detective Inspector's notebook, which is estimated to have been compiled around the turn of the 20th century.
Experts at Bonhams auctioneers, where the pocket journal is now up for sale, don't believe that the jotter was an official record, but was used by the DI to record criminals well known to the officer.
Personal scribblings underneath the pasted in pictures record ages, crimes and distinguishing features.
Many of the Victorian villains are repeat offenders, their petty crimes offering an interesting insight into Manchester's underworld during the industrial age.
One man is listed as stealing pigeons, while another lists details such as: "Lawrence Hy James... housebreaker, poses as a sewing machine agent, enters by false keys. Wanted at Sheffield."
Jose Dias, from Cuba is described as having "been deported several times", as well as a stealing a gold watch and having the alias of Joseph Dejour.
Felon Samuel Jackson is known for the "abscess scars" scrawled across his neck (hidden by a scarf), while pasted in pictures of brothel thieves show that it wasn't just men that the Detective Inspector came across on his rounds.
The notebook is expected to sell for between £800-1,200, which is probably more than these thieves, bounders and pickpockets managed to purloin between them.

StagWeb works closely and frequently with numerous suppliers so we have a huge portfolio of hotel options at fantastic rates. We can quickly and efficiently coordinate your stag accommodation requirements and on top of that you'll benefit from outstanding value! What's also important is that because of StagWeb's trading history and relationships, the hotels we work with are used to receiving our stag weekend groups - you're expected, welcomed and always professionally handled. Furthermore you'll be well informed, we'll provide all the necessary accommodation details, directions, transport and the local area. We'll not only save you money but also time, hassle and the expense of running around.
One of the most cost-effective ways to stay overnight in a city, hostel accommodation can vary in quality with some actually being quite fancy.The hostels we use are all at the better end of the hostel spectrum to ensure that you have a comfortable stay without breaking the bank.
If you're going for a coastal stag weekend and want to go for authentic accommodation and can put up with all the surfers then a surf lodge is for you! Surf lodges are generally low-frills accommodation, so you'll get great value for money and you'll be in a great location for the beach.
Our range of stag-friendly guest houses offer relaxing and value for money group accommodation. Start each day with a good breakfast and enjoy your stay in a friendly atmosphere. Our guest houses are well-located with great facilities for a comfortable stay.
Our 2 star stag accommodation options are great for a weekend on a budget. If you're not planning on doing much sleeping or you just need somewhere to crash after a large stag night out then you're not going to need a fancy room with a mini bar and satellite TV.
Our 3 star hotel selections have a great balance of comfort and economy offering a bit more than just the bare essentials. Facilities you can expect to find in these 3 star hotels include ensuite bathrooms with a bath and shower, a hotel bar and many will have breakfast included.
4 star hotels are a great choice if you want to live it up on your stag weekend and still have some money left over to party with. Our 4 star hotels are great for space and comfort without being too extravagant. Expect to find features such as a hotel bar, included breakfast, ensuite bathrooms and leisure facilities.
It's not every day you go on a stag weekend, so why not push the boat out? Our 5 star hotels have luxuriously spacious rooms, top quality facilities onsite and all the frills you'd expect from first class accommodation. If you can afford a 5 star hotel, then you'll be very well looked after.
Save a bit of money on your accommodation and rent your own property for the lads to stay in for the weekend. Our self-catering properties range in available facilities and level of luxury with some having features such as swimming pools, games rooms, pool tables and home cinemas. If you fancy a country retreat for your stag weekend, then hiring out a self-catering property is a great idea.
Search our Self catering options here.
We work with a range of stag accommodation across the board, from surf lodges to apartments to self-catering to guesthouses to 2/3/4/5* hotels. If you want to book your stag night accommodation today just call in or send us a brief.
When organising a weekend away for a large group of lads one of the hardest tasks the bestman will face is sourcing some good quality stag accommodation, this really doesn't need to be the case. We have come up with the following 5 step guide to ensure you get the best deals.
You can spend several hours trawling the net looking for a cheap quality hotel, only to find out they don't take single sex parties, or do but charge a ridiculous security bond. As an stag specialist we have already done the leg work for you, have the hotels set up, very low security deposits (if any) and most importantly the contracted rates we have will be far superior to anything you'll find individually.
With any weekend accommodation, location is the key. The last thing you need is to pay £10 for a taxi every time you want to get into town. Some agents will offer very cheap accommodation options, only for you to discover once you've booked, it's well over 2 miles from town. As an ABTA bonded agent we have an extra commitment to our client which is why we don't use any accommodation we have not inspected ensuring the location is perfect.
Many of our destinations have a wide range of accommodation options to cater for all budgets, from fantastic hostels to luxury hotels and spas. Hostels are often over looked by best men ("the boys will kill me if I put them there"), when in fact some of are classed as 5 star by the local tourist board, all kitted out with fantastic en-suite rooms, bars, café areas and are at a fraction of the price. We have also negotiated some great weekend rates with some of the best city centre 4 star spa hotels, often geared up towards the mid-week business trade, meaning we have some exceptional weekend offers often cheaper than some 3 star properties.
We appreciate that budget, flight times, work/family commitments can often determine the length of the stag weekend, but please bare in mind that it is not always possible to have a 1 night stay during popular dates like bank holidays. The majority of hotels will require a minimum of 2 nights (3 in some cases) for all bank holidays and some busy summer weekends.
Some hotels will only offer a B&B rate to groups, however if we can negotiate a room only rate it might be worth considering. In our 9 years experience we know that more often than not the guys will miss the breakfast serving, so why pay for it. The fantastic location of our accommodation options mean that you're surrounded with great bars, pubs and cafés where you can pick up a nice fry-up for a fiver, and at a time that suit you.

This review is from: Dual 400W 2 Channels Bridgeable Amplifier

CEA-2006 compliant
This review is from: Dual 400W 2 Channels Bridgeable Amplifier
Pros: Small, simple hook-ups, tool and mounting hardware included. CEA-2006 compliant... this is a good thing. Simple but effective crossover.
Cons: Not one little thing... see other thoughts.
Other Thoughts: DUAL is trying to bring us decent, affordable audio but sadly has started off with a bad rap. I don't normally purchase low dollar or not so name brand car audio... "you get what you pay for" if you know what I mean. Being CEA-2006 compliant helps a lot. DUAL says it's 50x2 at 4 ohms... guess what, it is tested and is 50x2. I took a peak inside the amp... not bad for a little guy.

Last time around, editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff celebrated Halloween by playing Fuck, Marry, Kill with some great movie psychopaths. Today, they're playing with a trio of beloved Christmas characters. If you are unfamiliar with the game Fuck, Marry, Kill (and yet inexplicably reading a website currently), it's simple: you must choose among the three names given who to fuck, who to marry, and who to kill. If you do not care for Jennifer and Ashley's rhetoric, skip their discussion and go to the bottom of the post, where you may cast your vote. More

As one of the youngest members of S.H.I.E.L.D., Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) may be a little green in the field, but she's certainly one of the brightest minds on ABC's new drama Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Combined with fellow agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), the duo is an unstoppable scientific force that complements each other like a married couple, according to Henstridge. The 26-year-old actress, whose credits included the British soap Hollyoaks before joining Joss Whedon's world of weird, dissects her new character with TVGuide.com and answers some of our burning questions, including whether there's more than meets the eye to Fitz and Simmons' relationship.

|Ask Matt: Cancellations, Renewals (Sleepy Hollow), Breaking Bad, Person of Interest (TVGuide) - 2 years ago
Question: So we had the first cancellation of the season with Lucky 7 after two showings. There are no tears from me as I never watched it. My question is: On what planet did anyone ever perceive this show's premise to be interesting or sustainable? Out of the hundreds of pilots, it is sometimes hard to believe someone at ABC thought this was one of the best. What do you think is next? — Rob
Matt Roush: Next for ABC, or next in the long annals of "what were they thinking" pilots? (That sound you hear is ABC kicking itself for not keeping Body of Proof around as a back-up, because for the time being, Scandal repeats will be airing in place of the unlucky 7.) To be fair, Lucky was based on a more successful British series, The Syndicate, but something clearly got lost in translation. (Same thing must have happened regarding ABC's equally mediocre Betrayal, based on a Dutch series and adapted by the same exec producer, who's batting 0 for 2 right now.) Your point about the sustainability of a pilot's premise is a good one, and comes up frequently when analyzing the failure of shows as disparate as last season's Last Resort and (though it may be premature) this season's Hostages — more on that one later. But from the moment many of us saw clips of Lucky 7 at last spring's upfront presentation, it felt like nothing we could imagine almost anyone would want to see. And we were right.

Welcome to Level 7.
When Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted last week, we met the new team of agents tasked with keeping the world safe from the strange and unknown. Heading up the team is Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who enlisted Agents Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) and Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), scientists Fitz (Iain De Caestrecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), as well as hacker-anarchist Skye (Chloe Bennet) to form a sub-division of the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. — Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. TVGuide.com turned to executive producers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen to get to know the agents better. Check it out:

An Internet genius decided to combine Breaking Bad with the Seinfeld theme music and laugh track and turn AMC's dark drama into a quirky comedy, whileDean Norris gave us a hint at what might be next for Hank Schraeder. In other AMC-related content, College Humor hilariously pondered why no one's watching Low Winter Sun.

When it comes to heavy lifting, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being asked to flex more than its share of muscle. Leading off an entire night of new ABC programming (always a risk, especially in these fragmented times), taking on TV's top-rated drama (NCIS), satisfying the expectations of Marvel Comics fans and Joss Whedon's considerable cult following, that's a lot for any spin-off to live up to, even with source material like The Avengers.

|Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bosses on How to Make the Marvel Universe Relatable (TVGuide) - 2 years ago
A Norse God. A flying billionaire in an iron suit. A man frozen in time. A giant green rage monster. These are just a few of the characters that Marvel has somehow made relatable throughout its films. But now, in their quest to bring that same magic to TV, ABC will attempt to get the fanboys, fangirls and the uninitiated to tune in for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
What are Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s chances on Tuesday nights?
On the TV show, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) assembles a select group of agents to form the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. — Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division — which investigates strange and unknown occurrences around the globe. The team includes Agents Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) and Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), scientists Fitz (Ian De Caestrecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), as well as hacker-anarchist Skye (Chloe Bennet), who adamantly works against the S.H.I.E.L.D. team until she discovers their true nature.
So how will the world of S.H.I.E.L.D. be approachable for both diehard comic book fans and new viewers alike?

|What Are Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Chances on Tuesday Nights? (TVGuide) - 2 years ago
To say Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is highly anticipated is an understatement.
After The Avengers pulled in $1.5 billion globally and other Marvel blockbusters like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and the Iron Man franchise succeeded at the box office, ABC's collaboration with Marvel appeared to be a sure thing. Add to that that S.H.I.E.L.D. marks the television return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator and Avengers director Joss Whedon, who brings with him even bigger expectations for the new series.

Send questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com and follow me on Twitter!
Question: My question is about the new Joss Whedon show that has one of the most convoluted names I've ever heard: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I am a Whedon fan to the max, having watched every episode of every TV (and Internet) show he has ever done, and enjoyed them thoroughly. I am not, however, a moviegoer nor a comic book reader. I cannot remember the last theatrical production I've seen, and the only comics I read are the Buffy/Angel follow-ups. And that leaves me concerned about S.H.I.E.L.D. Every article I read, and even the just-released preview, mentions events that happened/people who existed in one or more theatrical movies, and many articles mention future movies that will tie into the events on the show. Since I never watched those movies — and most likely won't watch the future movies — am I going to be totally lost when the television show premieres?

Hot town. Summer in the city.
But for a small band of demonstrators at the Liberty Bell yesterday, neither heat, nor glare, nor Market Street fumes meant much.
"They are deliberately burying the truth about the slavery of African people here in the heart of the so-called birthplace of American democracy and freedom," Alison Hoehne, chair of the African People's Solidarity Committee, told curious tourists, fellow demonstrators and reporters gathered in front of the Liberty Bell pavilion as the sun beat down. "We don't want these truths hidden anymore."
Slavery has become a hot issue here, as hot as any summer day. George Washington is no longer seen as a remote Founding Father. He is now being talked about as the president who held slaves in the nation's first executive mansion, once located at Sixth and Market Streets.
And the National Park Service, constructing a home for the Liberty Bell near the spot where those slaves once lived, is being pressed by scholars and a growing number of interested citizens to acknowledge the role of slavery in building the new nation.
That's what brought the demonstrators to the bell yesterday.
Hoehne, and others in her ad hoc group of activists, denounced the Park Service for refusing to excavate the site of the former slave quarters - even though historians now acknowledge that there is nothing much left to excavate. Washington's presidential house was torn down in the 1830s and subsequent construction on the site destroyed virtually all archaeological evidence of the 18th century.
Responding to the controversy, however, the Park Service has agreed to expand discussion of slavery at the park.
Visitors to the Liberty Bell yesterday emphatically agreed that slavery should be on the agenda when rangers discuss the bell and when exhibitions are presented for the public.
"It is not something that should be forgotten - they definitely should talk about it," said Shannon Julius, a parent with a group of students from Octorara Elementary School in Chester County.
"It's a big part of history," Julius' friend, Cathy Smoker, said.
Katelyn Barnett, 10, an Octorara fourth grader, was pointed on the subject.
"If that's where they kept slaves, they should not be forgotten," she said. "Nobody should be held in slavery."
Katelyn's friend, Jessi Julius, 10, agreed.
Neither girl had been aware that slaves once labored only steps away from Independence Hall.
Hakeem Gordy, 14, an eighth grader at Roberts Vaux Middle School, 24th and Master Streets, said he learned about slavery in school - but not about slavery in Philadelphia.
Slavery, he said, was something that happened somewhere else.
Not so, said Okiejane Lamont, 77. Slavery happened in Philadelphia, she said. And it was prevalent.
The Park Service, she said, should tell as much of the story as possible.
"It makes sense to let it be known how we've suffered," Lamont said. "It's part of history. I know about it, but other people need to know, too. It happened. It happened."

Hot Lunch! Four People Who Made School Lunch Reform Happen
The wheels of school lunch reform are finally starting to turn, even if pizza is still considered a vegetable.
The days of fuzzy chicken nuggets, grey burgers, and gelatinous square pizza are fading away. President Obama signed the Child Nutrition Bill three years ago, which gave the USDA authority to set nutritional standards for all foods regularly sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines, the "a la carte" lunch lines, and school stores.
Congress passed the $4 billion bill, but regular citizens are responsible for getting their attention. Although schools have started serving more nutritious foods—breads and crusts with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, salads—the war is still on. The USDA had a PR nightmare in 2012 with "pink slime"—a meat byproduct made of random cow parts and ammonia—yet schools in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota continue to serve the stuff.
On a global scale, school lunch reform has been a common theme. In England, flamboyant chef, Jamie Oliver, took up the cause, and in the U.S., blogger Sarah Wu (aka Mrs. Q), First Lady Michelle Obama, and Chef Ann Cooper have carried the torch. All of their efforts worked to ensure that the future leaders of the world wouldn't be fed the cheapest, most processed, and least nutritious junk imaginable.

How runners can avoid injuries
Question: What can I do to avoid some of the injuries that I hear about frequently in my circle of running friends?
Answer: Running has become more popular in the past few decades. It used to be a sport for teens and the 20- or 30-somethings. Today, line up for any given race, and you will run with (and be passed by) people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and older.
For the most part, running is a healthy activity that is not detrimental to participants. In the absence of other injuries or problems with their alignment, running can bring health benefits such as cardiovascular health, weight control, better muscle and bone health, mental relaxation and social engagement. Problems can occur when runners over train. Every person has a unique conditioning threshold that describes how much he or she can do without risking problems such as diminished performance or injury. Overtraining occurs when athletes exercise beyond their body's capacity. When you cross that threshold, performance drops off and you risk injury.
Cross training activities such as cycling, weight training, elliptical workouts, and swimming provide health benefits that can help runners to stay fit, avoid injury, and even keep them running longer. These activities promote fitness while giving runners a break from the impact of running. New types of cross training activities have evolved over the past 20 years, and now runners increasingly recognize the value of cross training. To help prevent injuries runners should consider cross training, stretch properly, warm up and cool down, maintain general conditioning, eat a healthy balanced diet, and keep weight under control.
If you are overweight, approach exercise and running with caution. Prior to beginning an exercise program, you should undergo a complete medical evaluation by your family physician. Extra pounds magnify the stress placed on the body by the impact of running. Rather than beginning a conditioning program with jogging, overweight individuals should consider other nonimpact exercises such as water exercises, stationary cycling, or elliptical machines. Upon achieving weight reduction through dietary improvements and nonimpact exercises, then you can slowly add jogging to your routine.
When people do suffer overuse injuries, they can frequently stay active with relative rest and cross training. Often, they can continue to run at a reduced level where they no longer have symptoms while cross training to maintain conditioning. They can slowly return to their running routine as symptoms abate.
People need to listen to their bodies and respect the messages their bodies send. Runners need to embrace cross training alternatives and activity needs to be stopped or diminished when pain is present. This becomes increasingly important as we grow older.

At its 60th meeting, on 28 April 1999, the Commission on Human Rights, taking into account its heavy schedule of work, as well as the need to give adequate consideration to all the items on its agenda, and recalling that in previous years the Economic and Social Council had approved the Commission's requests for additional meetings for its thirty-seventh to fifty-fifth session, decided, without a vote:
(a) To recommend to the Economic and Social Council that it authorize, if possible from within existing financial resources, 30 fully serviced additional meetings, including summary records, in accordance with rules 29 and 31 of the rules of procedure of the functional commissions of the Economic and Social Council, for the Commission's fifty-sixth session;
(b) To request the Chairperson of the fifty-sixth session of the Commission to make every effort to organize the work of the session within the times normally allotted, so that the additional meetings that the Council might authorize would be utilized only if they proved to be absolutely necessary.

Coffee and Warfarin
Millions of Americans start their day with coffee. According to the National Coffee Association, more than 54 percent of Americas are habitual coffee drinkers.
No large scale studies or adverse drug event reports have been cited in coffee drinking warfarin users. Although there have been many recent studies regarding coffee, it is inconslusive whether or not coffee is beneficial. Many studies though are observational, meaning that such studies take groups of people with and without a condition and look for differences between them.
Coffee carries with it a long list of adverse reactions and side effects even within recommended quantities for those with no known health ailments (less than 5 cups, 600 milligrams of caffeine).1 It is easy for patients to experience a side effect of caffeine and suspect warfarin to be the cause.
Coffee and warfarin have been taken together for decades with no wide-spread interactions leading to safety labeling. The caffeine in coffee (approximately 80-120 milligrams) may negatively affect patients with heart disease including those with hypertension and arrhythmias. It can also cause problems such as restlessness, anxiety, irritability and sleeplessness.
Consider the old saying, "Everything in moderation" when drinking coffee, and as always, consult with your doctor before making changes to your diet.
