MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee K-12 students have far more educational options than most kids around the nation.
They can remain in Milwaukee Public Schools, transfer to any other public school, attend one of many public charter schools, or opt to use the city's unique private school voucher program.
The statistics indicate they very much appreciate having all of those options. They value and appreciate school choice.
"It was amazing several years ago to say that one out of every three Milwaukee children getting a publicly funded education was going to a school outside the traditional Milwaukee public school system," wrote Alan J. Borsuk in a recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel column. "It signaled how much the definition of public education was being reshaped here.
"But that statement is out of date. It's not 33 percent any more. It's very close to 40 percent. That figure goes up about 1 ½ points a year, which it did again this year."
According to Borsuk's unofficial tally, 119,255 Milwaukee children are receiving publicly funded educations in the current academic year. About 72,000 of them remain in Milwaukee Public Schools, a figure that has dropped from 78,000 four years ago, according to Borsuk.
Where are the rest of the kids going to school?
Borsuk estimates that nearly 25,000 Milwaukee students are attending private schools through the city's voucher program, which provides up to $6,442 per student for private school tuition per year. That' an increase of about 1,800 students from a year ago and almost 5,000 from four years ago, according to Borsuk.
The increase is probably due to relaxed financial requirements for voucher students and a change in the law that allows private schools outside the city to enroll Milwaukee voucher students.
Milwaukee students also continue to flock to the city's growing number of charter schools.
For some reason Borsuk does not offer an estimate of the total number Milwaukee kids enrolled in charters. But he does point out that nearly 12,000 are enrolled this fall in charters that are not staffed by Milwaukee Public Schools employees. That figure has increased about 60 percent over the past four years, an indication that non-union schools are becoming preferable for the families of the city.
It's easy to understand why.
Another 6,700 Milwaukee kids are taking advantage of the state's open enrollment policy to attend public schools outside the city, according to Borsuk.
Borsuk claims charter attendance is "likely to keep going up as strong local charters expand and organizations from places such as California and Pennsylvania set up shop here. For example, Rocket Education, based in San Jose, California, aims to open its first school here next fall, with the goal of eight schools and 4,000 kids within several years, and the high-performing, home-grown Milwaukee College Prep is planning to add a fourth school next year and, likely, a fifth the year after."
Borsuk expects the Republican majority in the Wisconsin state legislature to press for more school choice in the coming legislative session. He also expects those efforts to spark a fierce fight between the two major political parties, as Democrats continue to help the teacher unions and education establishment defend their traditional turf.
What a shame that would be. If legislators really want to do the right thing for families when it comes to education, all they have to do is look at the distribution of Milwaukee students. They and their parents clearly want school choice, and they know what works best for them. If they didn't want choice, the voucher program and charter schools would rot on the vine.
That should be the beginning and the end of the school choice debate.

i was watching voyager on tv the other week and was shocked to find a scene i had never seen before
Dark Frontier Part 1
- After the probe is destroyed the opening credits start and then its the scene in the cargo bay with the crew examining the wreckage*
This is how it has always been every time i have seen this episode but not on the day
- After the opening credits have finished, it opens with Paris and Kim in the mess hall with Kim regreting that all the crew were killed on the borg ship with Paris telling him that it doesnt matter because they were just drones and finding Seven of Nine behind him who walks off offened, then its the scene in the cargo bay*
are there any more deleted scenes like this i've never seen this before or read about it? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ben1987 (talk • contribs).

Transfers of Saturday, 14 June 2014
Source: GHANAsoccernet.com
German Bundesliga side Schalke 04 are the latest to join the race for in-form Ghana striker Jordan Ayew.
The 22-year-old had a successful six-month loan spell at relegated Ligue 1 side Sochaux where he scored five goals in 16 appearances.
His parent club Olympique Marseille have valued the youngster at three million euros.
Jordan's contract with Marseille runs until June 2015 but expected to leave the Stade Velodrome this summer transfer window.
Schalke will be a good destination for the youngster after the Royal Blues qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League.
He hogged the headline when he netted a hat-trick in Ghana's 4-0 win over World Cup bound South Korea in final warm up match.
Jordan's elder brother Andre has been tipped to also leave the club and linked with Italian or English clubs.

Spinal Fractures and their Possible Effects
Spinal compression fractures generally result from osteoporosis (low bone density). Over time, our bone-generating cells (osteoblasts) become less effective at producing healthy bone tissue. Other factors, such as poor nutrition and smoking (nicotine, a common chemical in cigarettes, is a bone-growth toxin) also lower bone density as we age. Symptoms of a spinal compression fracture include severe sudden back pain (possibly from spinal nerves that have been abruptly compressed), pain while walking and standing, height loss, and structural deformity along the spinal column.
Normally, spinal compression fractures occur during routine activities like picking up a bag of groceries or slipping on a patch of ice. If you are experiencing sudden, severe back pain as a result of routine activity, it's advised that you seek immediate medical attention (you can be seen by a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon). Your physician will conduct a physical exam designed to narrow the possible causes of your back pain. After the physical exam, it's also likely that imaging tests (X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging MRI ) will be necessary to confirm that a spinal compression fracture has actually occurred. Even if you do not feel back pain, imaging tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis, because occasionally spinal compression fractures occur so gradually that patients do not experience any episodes of sharp pain. Other symptoms may arise as the spine shortens due to a loss in height: weight loss due to pressure placed on the stomach, decreased mobility, breathing problems (the lungs may not function properly due to constriction), and hip pain.
Sudden trauma-related fractures (such as from a car accident or sports injury) are more unpredictable and have the potential to be even more serious. Fragments of vertebrae or pieces of the spinal herniated discs may lacerate the spinal nerves within the spinal canal, leading to a loss of sensation, muscle weakness, or paralysis. Physicians also normally order imaging tests for trauma-related spinal fractures due to the extremely sensitive nature of the injuries and the fact that a patient's long-term mobility (or even their survival) may be compromised by a misdiagnosis. For osteoporotic compression fractures, a procedure known as a kyphoplasty may be helpful.
Recovery from spinal compression fractures and trauma-related spinal injuries may require extensive physical therapy and chiropractic treatment, during the post-operative care period. Developing muscles along the spinal column with core strengthening will relieve pressure from compromised spinal discs and re-generating bone tissue. Your physician will order several checkups following your back surgery in order to re-evaluate your progress and make any necessary changes to your course of treatment. The length of the post-operative care period will ultimately be determined by the integrity of the patient's spinal column as well as their mobility and general quality of life.
Physician experts at the Kraus Back and Neck Institute (KBNI) in Houston, TX, have significant experience and expertise in working with patients who have suffered fractures of the spine. Many of these patients will need complex medical care, and many will need to also see a personal injury attorney. After an injury, many patients may be confused as to what to do next, and how to straighten out their situations.

NEW YORK – The Internet is an extraordinarily powerful tool. It has changed how we do business, how we do politics, and even how we change our leaders – at least some of the time.
But the ease with which we now communicate, the efficiencies we take for granted, can give us a false sense of how easy it is to follow through on some of these changes. Despite the importance of social media in fomenting revolution, and even in deposing deeply unpopular leaders, governing in the real world is not as easy as governing online.
This struck me last week when I listened to one of Egypt's new online generation talking enthusiastically about the future. His thesis was that once people have tasted freedom, once the oppressive leader is gone, they will naturally live as free people and build a new, democratic society without much central oversight. I wish I could believe that it will all be as easy for Egyptians as running a Facebook group was.
Generally, the Internet is a tool for people whose basic needs are already being met. Members of the upper middle class in any country, including Egypt, often seem to forget that for most people, the value created on the Internet cannot feed, clothe, and house their families.

The impending year-end tour of Europe will provide Pat Lambie with what may be a first and final opportunity to prove his worth as a Test flyhalf to Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
"Pat will definitely be a contender there and I think he can be a great flyhalf," Meyer told reporters in Cape Town yesterday, where the Boks have assembled to begin preparing for successive tour matches against Ireland, Scotland and England.
"But, having said that, after this year I'm going to stick with two No 10s going forward to the 2015 World Cup."
In his first season at the helm of the Boks, Meyer has pigeon-holed the Sharks playmaker as a fullback. However, Lambie's flourishing form in the latter stages of the Currie Cup appears to have inclined the coach to give the 22-year-old a shot at making the Bok No 10 jersey his own.
"I've always been open and honest with Pat, and I said 'if you want to be the (World Cup) flyhalf in England in four years, you have to be able to kick tactically'," added Meyer.
"If you look at the Currie Cup final, I know it's a lesser level, but people always say pick an attacking flyhalf, but the team that defends best and has a tactical flyhalf usually wins. So you need a tactical No 10.
"I told Pat he needs to work on his kicking game and he has worked hard and he's shown improvement. He'll definitely be considered there."
With flyhalf wunderkind Johan Goosen out injured, Lambie will be vying for such consideration along with veteran Morne Steyn and rookie Elton Jantjies.
Meyer gave few hints regarding a possible line-up for the tour opener in Dublin on November 10, but whoever gets the nod to direct the Bok attack will likely be able to draw on the experience of Jean de Villiers.
The Bok captain missed the Currie Cup play-offs with a nagging hamstring injury, but he is on track to square up against Ireland.
"Jean has done really nicely," said Bok team doctor Craig Roberts. "We're happy with his progress and the feedback is that he's doing really well at the moment."
Bath flanker Francois Louw was another injury concern allayed by Roberts.
"I spoke to Francois earlier in the week. He had a problem with his neck, but it's responded really well to treatment and we're confident he'll be ready for us when we meet up with him over there," he said.
Hooker Adriaan Strauss (knee) was also given a provisional thumbs-up with a "he's fine, we'll assess how he goes at training today", though Meyer's allusion to a match-day 22 inclusion for Saracens rake Schalk Brits casts a shadow of doubt over this prognosis.
Toulouse prop Gurthrö Steenkamp rounds off a group of three players in the 31-man squad who ply their trade abroad, and Meyer underscored the value they would add to a Bok team decimated by injuries.
"In the beginning, I was tentative to use overseas-based players, but I've seen what a huge influence Francois Louw had (during the Rugby Championship)," Meyer said. "He's probably one of the best opensiders in the world right now."
Steenkamp has 38 Test caps to his name and last did duty for South Africa in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal loss against Australia, while twice-capped Brits hasn't played for the Boks since 2008.
"Schalk is a great impact player and very experienced now that he's 30 years old, and I've worked with Gurthrö (at the Bulls) before, so I know what he can do, if he's fit.
"You need big scrummagers in Europe because, there, every single scrum is a battle and they scrum for penalties, so if you don't have a big front row you'll struggle." – Cape Argus

Veterans in Congress to hit post-WWII low
WASHINGTON — A decade of wars abroad has not reversed the decline in military veterans serving in Congress. When the next session convenes in January, the two chambers will have the fewest number of veterans serving since World War II.
It's a continuation of a nearly four-decade-long decline of veterans in office since the peak of their service in the years after the Vietnam War.
In 2013, just 19 percent of the 535 combined members in the House and Senate will have active-duty military service on their résumé, down from a peak in 1977 when 80 percent of lawmakers boasted military service. In the current Congress, 22 percent are military veterans.
The transition from the draft to an all-volunteer military in 1973 is a driving force of the decline, but veterans and their advocates say they face more challenges running for office in the modern era of political campaigns.
"There's so few opportunities that we have where veterans can run a federal campaign," said Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org, a liberal veterans' advocacy group that supports candidates for office. "They are credible messengers to the public, but only if they're financed. A veteran with a great narrative that doesn't have the infrastructure to sell themselves is a tree falling alone in the woods."
Louis Celli, legislative director for the American Legion, said the realities of modern military life make it difficult for veterans to establish roots in a community to build political networks and the financial backing to run for office. "Oftentimes, veterans don't travel in those circles," Celli said.
Rep.-elect Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, said she faced "huge challenges" in her campaign, which initially showed her 45 percentage points down in the race. She said she used her skills as a platoon leader to manage her grass-roots campaign operation for a victory, but she noted that many veteran candidates have challenges to raising money. "Generally, veterans tend not to be wealthy people," she said.
A combination of electoral factors contributes to veterans' decline in the 113th Congress. Military veteran candidates in eight competitive Senate races this year were defeated by opponents who did not serve. Among the dozens of military veterans who ran for the House, 12 are headed to Washington in January.
Couple that with the primary defeat of military veterans such as Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and the ousting of incumbents such as Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, a veteran affected by the redistricting process, means that each Congress in the past decade has seen fewer veterans serving than the one before it. All of that comes against the backdrop of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Army veteran and Rep.-elect Tom Cotton, R-Ark., one of the dozen incoming lawmakers with military service, said he expects to see a rise in the next decade and beyond among veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan running for office. "I think you probably would see a steady increase in this generation of veterans, and it'll be faster as we put a little bit more time between us and the war, and a little bit more gray on our temples," he said.
More than 2.4 million military personnel have been deployed in support of U.S. war efforts since 9/11.

Pretoria - A 26-year-old man was sentenced in the High Court in Pretoria on Friday to 20 years in prison for the murder and rape of pregnant teenager Zanele Khumalo.
"The sentence I impose is the following. On count one, murder, you are sentenced to 20 years imprisonment," Judge Johan Kruger said.
"I'm of the view that the sentences that I have instituted meet the proportionality test... I'm convinced that this is an instance that where to impose the minimum prescribed sentence would not serve justice."
Thato Kutumela stood in the dock, wearing white, as Kruger told him that he was also sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for rape and six months imprisonment for theft.
"Sentences imposed regarding count two and three will run concurrently with count one," he said.
Kutumela was also declared unfit to posses a firearm.
As Kruger read out the sentencing there were people saying "yes" and "amen".
As Kutumela made his way down to the cells the people in court started clapping hands. A member of the ANC Woman's League said a prayer in court afterwards.
Khumalo's family members, including her parents, sat in the front row of the public gallery wearing black T-shirts bearing her face and the words "Nothing was in vain" printed on the back.
Kutumela was earlier found guilty of murdering and raping the mother of his unborn child in November.
He was also found guilty of stealing the teenager's night clothes and underwear to hide the fact that he had raped her.
She was found dead at her parents' home in Garsfontein, Pretoria east, in April 2011.
Kutumela did not testify, but claimed in his plea explanation they had consensual sex that morning and that she was alive and well when he left.
On Friday, Kruger said Kutumela was within his rights when he chose not to testify.
He said this made deciding on an appropriate sentence much more complicated.
Kutumela initially claimed, at the magistrate's court, that he had been at work all day.
Khumalo's naked body was discovered under a blanket on her bed when her parents arrived home from work.
They rushed her to hospital, but she had by then already been dead for about six hours.
Kruger said on Friday that "when he convicted Kutumela in November it was held that he was present at the scene when the injuries that resulted in her death were inflicted.
"Based on that I held that the State proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
"I'm of the view that the rehabilitation and the reform of the accused is an available option," he said.
At the start of sentencing procedures, Kruger compared two reports, one compiled by a clinical psychologist and another by a social worker and probation officer.
Kruger said the fact was that Kutumela had withheld evidence he told to the experts.
"Hence it is evident that the accused was prepared to lie and or concoct versions... in order to create distance from himself and what happened to the accused," said Kruger.
Kruger also said society was "sick and tired" of violent crimes and said sentencing in such crimes should serve as a deterrent to criminals.
He said Kutumela's past, the fact that his grandfather who he was close to had died, and his parents' broken marriage and domestic violence that he witnessed at a young age, had an effect on him and his relationships.

The daughter of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and her longtime boyfriend tied the knot at the lavish Astor Courts estate on Saturday evening, July 31.
Daughter of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, is officially a married woman. Chelsea and her longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky have exchanged vows before hundreds of guests at the lavish Astor Courts estate in New York on Saturday evening, July 31, ET reported.
Wearing an elegant Vera Wang gown with tulle pleated diagonally on the bodice, Chelsea had her father Bill walking her down the aisle with Mezvinsky, in a black tuxedo, waiting at the altar. Current U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opted a dark fuchsia dress made by Mr. Oscar de la Renta for her daughter's big day.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Fashion designer Vera was among the attendees, as well as actor Ted Danson and his actress wife Mary Steenburgen. According to the site no guest list has been made public. Meanwhile, paparazzi also produced little additional evidence of famous guests, including rumored attendees like Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Barbara Streisand.

The Boston Marathon bombing suspects had planned to blow up their remaining explosives in New York's Times Square, New York officials said Thursday.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother had decided spontaneously Thursday night to drive to New York and detonate their remaining explosives – a pressure-cooker bomb like the ones that blew up at the marathon, plus five pipe bombs.
The plan fell apart after the Tsarnaev brothers were intercepted by police in a stolen car and got into a fierce gun battle that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead, Kelly said.
Dzhokhar, 19, is charged with carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260, and he could get the death penalty.

In a very tight 1st half Bridge and Tricorn both only had 1 decent chance each, Jamie Cumpper clearing from off his own goal line after Timbers defence let Cauley in and Karl Jenkins bringing a good save from John Barnes in the Tricorn goal to keep it 0-0 at the break. Bridge slowly started to get the better in the 2nd period with Liam sweeney and Josh Smith both seeing shots blocked and Ricky Thompson agonisingly saw his shot debatably cleard off the line in which caused some confusion as it appeared to be on the line. Extra time was played and with each side keeping it tight, it was inevitable it would go to penalties. Ricky Thompson and Lewis Watson both scored theres but Bridge were knocked out with Linnet,Tony Lunt, Jay Cauley and Lee Bignell scoring to take Tricorn through. Jamie Cumpper was Bridge Timbers man of the match, With Paul Gumbs getting it for Tricorn.

|Reviews for Nowhere
| Stirling Phoenix chapter 1 . 2/1/2009
Umm, wow this story makes me really sad but I can't explain why. So the vibe I'm getting is that Tamaki and Eclair were supposed to be betrothed but Tamaki was too in love with Haruhi for there to be anything between him in Eclair. Really though I don't know I'm not really good at the whole 'vibe' thing, I just act like I am. Anyway, despite the fact that the fic lowered my mood (not your fault), I still really liked it because it all points to TamakixHaruhi!
| Val-Creative chapter 1 . 1/7/2009
Little Borther: It is exactly what I would expect to happen, if...that...happened. I'm pretty sure Eclair was not as loved as she wanted to be when she was younger too, or maybe shes just a spoiled bit%$, maybe both. Its very realistic, I could totally see this happening. Tamaki was acting like Tamaki and Eclair was in character as well. Great job!
| SylverEyes chapter 1 . 12/26/2008
Ah, my Queen of Crack, you have outdone yourself again. :D It was fabulous! It was fantastic! It was... ragh, I don't even know how to explain it. Like Eclair was reflecting back on all of those negative emotions that she had seen in Tamaki's eyes while they were all focused directly on her in that one moment. And then they have that short little bonding time because they were both lonely and "unloved" when they were children? I positively squealed. Even if Eclair wants to deny it, it's so, so true. D Wow. I don't even know how to express my thanks.
You rock. What a pwnsome Christmas present! Ah, I love Tamaki/Eclair so much (and the people reading this review go "WTF, crazy girl" XD), so to have it from you is awesome. Especially with such a great character study of the two of them. _ Thanks so much, Val!
| Axel's Ashes chapter 1 . 12/24/2008
The mood was just wonderful.
| LaChoy chapter 1 . 12/24/2008
I always liked Eclair. I thought she was a sad character and only wanted Tamaki because she was so lonely and he was so charismatic. And the fact she does let him go in the end makes her not such a bad person after all. So I really loved this. This story doesn't show Eclair in a negative light and shows her for what she is. And especially how you have shown Tamaki. Ah, I loved this story. You have succeeded in making another terrific piece~ :D
| Legendary Chimera chapter 1 . 12/24/2008
Ya know, I didn't think I could read a fic starring the "woman spider" but I loved it! Tamaki makes you swoon, and you can't even hate her in this one little bit. We need Haruhi to make an appearance one of these days. ;P Merry Christmas!

Without extracurricular activities, children will take up sedentary pastimes, such as playing video games or baseball. Get them up and moving with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $29 for one month of gymnastics classes and a basic annual membership for one ($109 value)
- $49 for one month of gymnastics classes and a basic annual membership for two ($218 value)
Instructors lead classes for boys, girls, and preschoolers that teach basic skills that can be applied toward gymnastics events. Preschoolers develop fine motor skills and work on their listening in a fun, playful environment. Boys build their way up to the pommel horse and still rings, and girls practice routines for the balance beam or uneven bars; both exercise tumbling skills on the gym's trampoline and into the foam pit. Check the schedules for preschoolers, boys, and girls for a full list of class times.
Southlake Gymnastics Academy
At a time when most kids were learning to spell with the letters in their alphabet soup, Mark and Missy Seyler were learning gymnastics. What began as a fun extracurricular activity turned into a successful college career for both Mark and Missy at the University of Oklahoma, which led the couple into the teaching profession. Their academy resembles an Olympic training facility with wall-to-wall mats and rows of gymnastics training equipment, such as balance beams and uneven bars. The center's in-ground trampolines, play mountains, and foam pits also help youngsters discover the fun in physical fitness. Mark and Missy lead an extensive gymnastics curriculum in classes for boys and girls, and students can attend the academy as soon as they enter preschool or learn to recite the alphabet backward. In addition to their standard classes, Mark and Missy lead regular events such as camps, Friday Nights Out, and birthday parties. As their skills progress, students can pit themselves against their peers in Southlake's competitive programs.

Re: Moving to the NW E/SE of Portland this year
Sorry for the long absence and, as a result the late replies. Been working a lot and although i'm now on the "home-stretch" of the relocation/visa process there's still a little time to go as I'm awaiting an appointment at the US embassy in London to get the stamp before I can actually head over. I think I mentioned in my intro that it would be summer-time. That was me being cautious but it looks like that's about about right now.
Thanks again for the info. Jay and Brian.
Jay: I hope they eventually did make an appearance. I'll be trawling the forum again now so i'm sure i'll find out
get your point about spey rods and distance-casting. At the beginning I think i'll try my 9/10# with a good forward-taper weight-forward line (intermediate or sink-tip) and see what happens. It has a fair bit of power and obviously a 9/10 line with the right kind of rod action can, with good casting (well, very average casting in my case!) go a reasonable distance. Having said that I saw a nice spey rod on Ebay which may do the business, so we'll see. Interesting to hear about the trout stillwaters in the vicinity of Portland too. That's something i'll definitely look into once i'm settled
Thanks for the heads-up on the Upper Clackamas too. I'd read some stuff about that area and it did indeed talk about nice trout fishing in exchange for a bit of hiking effort - which suits me just fine!
Brian: that's great info. about the Columbia gorge streams and in fact the rest of the state too. As you might imagine, i've been looking at lots of maps of some of these feeder streams you mention and wondered if they would have healthy native trout populations, albeit I realise they might not be big fish - which doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for the offer as well. I'll be sure to drop you a line once i'm there and ready to travel and fish. Thanks very much
Oh, and as for the rain - I realise this is out-of-date now, but you can have some of ours! Becky (my wife) told me it had been unseasonably dry back when I last posted, but also mentioned that this had changed in the last couple of months, so I hope fishing conditions have improved for you and all Oregon fishers. Since the trout season started here on March 15th, the weather has been mostly cold and windy in this part of Scotland, with the wind mostly coming from the east too. At this time of year that means significant wind-chill. result: relatively poor trout fishing conditions and "success". Folks in the west have fared a little better though. Looks like things are set to change a bit next week. Here's hoping.
Catch you all again soon

Citing growth in markets outside the U.S., Dell raised its first-quarter sales forecast Wednesday and said it would significantly increase its stock repurchases.
The Round Rock, Texas-based PC maker now expects first quarter sales to be $11.4 billion, $200 million higher than the forecast it gave when it announced its fourth-quarter results in February. Dell's first quarter includes February, March and April. The company is scheduled to announce its earnings for the period on May 13.
Wall Street had been expecting Dell's first-quarter revenue to be $11.24 billion, according to a consensus estimate compiled by Thomson First Call.
Demand from outside the U.S. is driving Dell's higher revenue, the company said. All Dell products are selling well, but sales growth is strongest for servers, storage systems, professional services and printing and imaging, Dell said.
Dell did not change its first-quarter earnings forecast. Earnings per share are still expected to be $0.28, which would be up 22 percent from the year-ago period, the company said. The earnings forecast is in line with analyst expectations, according to Thomson First Call.
As a result of its strong operating results and cash generation, Dell will increase its stock buy-back activity, it said. The company plans to spend about $1.1 billion in the first quarter to repurchase Dell shares, up from a planned $600 million at the start of the quarter, the company said.

Working back in the day with then NWA Champion Ric Flair in the ring and their relationship outside of the ring including recently trying to reach out to him:
"Oh man, I really don't know what to say. I don't think Flair and I get along to tell the truth. His son was killed in a car wreck recently, and I tried to console him and I guess I don't blame him, but he wouldn't even take my call. He is suffering probably, and he kind of knocked me in his book, but I don't care about that. You know, Ric was a hard working guy and his son had a heroin problem and dang it, I just wanted to make him feel better. But I understand, a lot of water has gone under the bridge. I don't really understand what it was, but I just wanted to console him a bit, I felt really bad for him. What can you do? People hurt in their own way. I felt sorry for him, I know he loved that boy and I sure hate the way that worked out, but that's too bad. Ric, though I will tell you is one of the hardest working men in the ring. He doesn't take it easy on himself. He gives all he's got and whether he likes me or not is irrelevant, he is just a good, hardworking man. He's still out there doing it, I can't believe it. But all the more power to you buddy you know I can't say anything bad about Ric at all. But god bless him, he is trying so hard and trying to keep it going out there."
The merger between World Class and the Memphis territories:
"That is like the low point of my life to tell the truth. Kerry, with the foot cut off, and I'm trying to keep the business going and having to wrestle three times a day. Had to have some help and so Jarrett is in there somehow and next thing you know the whole show had changed. It had gone almost like, Tennessee. Tennessee used to be the corny territory, where they'd have the six million dollar man and they bring a coffin to the ring and a robot jumps out. They got a manager with the control box and then the good guy gets the control box and turns him on the manager, hokey stuff like that. Tennessee was a place we avoided. That was the stereotype I was trying to run from, but Jarrett and Lawler all come from that area out there. I really hated to see wrestling go in that direction when I really wanted to see it come in the direction we had started to bring it. That's my take on that. Those were some bad days, I can't even tell you all about it. It was a power struggle. The Von Erichs were down and we had lost every one of our men, but me. I was on a plane all the time it was just the hardest days of my life. Boy, I'm glad it is over, but that was the death of World Class wrestling. That Global or the USWA or whatever they called it, yeah, I'm not proud of that."

A U.S. Navy SEAL who was a star wrestler at Massapequa High School was killed during a training exercise at Fort Knox, Ky., when a Humvee overturned, military officials said Friday.
Jonathan H. Kaloust, 23, died Wednesday night as a result of injuries sustained in the accident, according to Naval Special Warfare Group Two based in Virginia Beach, Va.
Most Popular
The Humvee was part of a convoy on the post. It was unclear what caused it to flip, and an investigation was under way, the military said.
Five other Navy SEALS and two sailors sustained minor injuries in the accident and were released from a hospital, said Lt. David Lloyd, a SEAL spokesman.
The sailors had been conducting tactical training, but Lloyd would not release further details about the exercise because it was considered sensitive.
"The Naval Special Warfare community is deeply saddened by this tragic accident," said Capt. Robert Smith, commander of Naval Special Warfare Group Two. "Our thoughts and our prayers go out to the family and friends of our fallen teammate and those injured in the accident."
Naval Special Warfare Group Two oversees a variety of operations, including reconnaissance and counterterrorism.
Kaloust, a special warfare operator 3rd class, was based at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek at Fort Story in Norfolk, Va. He joined the Navy in March 2011, according to a statement provided by the military.
He grew up in Massapequa, attending Lockhart Elementary School, Berner Middle School and Massapequa High School. He lettered in wrestling all four years in high school, won two league championships, and served as team captain, the statement said.
After high school, he earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Binghamton University, where he also had a successful wrestling career.
The U.S. Navy has used the 170-square-mile Fort Knox as a training ground since World War II. The Army post is about 50 miles southwest of Louisville and is home to about 14,000 military personnel, including active-duty members and reserves.
Kentucky's Salt River runs through the Army base. According to the Federal Register, the Corps of Engineers considers sections of the Salt River that fall within Fort Knox to be danger zones. The river is used by the military for training and other exercises.
Kaloust is survived by his parents, Gary and Irene Kaloust, and his sister, Melanie, of Massapequa, the military said. The family declined to comment Friday.

Tape Timer from Kikkerland
I love products that combine 2 things in one it means one less thing that I have to go searching around for in my drawers. Design by Jozeph Forakis and super affordable. I love when design meets function
Part of being a "good cook" is being able to keep track of multiple things being cooked at once. This double timer makes it much easier to make that possible.Added 9 Years Ago from Productdose

My point is, if this thing happens again we're going to need 48 people in comms roles under the current setup. That's all our regulars, most of whom are normally pretty reluctant to get into said roles in the first place.
I for one would like to just grunt it up next time. Maybe others want that too. Since we can't force anyone to do anything, as far as I can tell we have 2 options:
1) Turn down newcomers because we're full.
2) Reduce the amount of comms people we need.
we did fine with alpha and bravo together, and we were absolutely full. so that would essentially halve our RO need, and lessen the responsabilities for half the SLs as well.- Tom De Roeck.

RO is a great position for anyone who is comfortable with the game, really. It's a low-stress job that I think people might actually enjoy if they tried it. The bare minimum, absolutely acceptable level is that you report in when your squad is ready to move, when it arrives, and how screwed the situation is. Everything else is just repeating what your PL says to your squad. Extra credit is asking other ROs what their situation is if your SL is too busy to use his SL-SL chat. We really shouldn't have an issue filling RO slots and I wonder if people are just intimidated by the idea of it.

As long as people are informed that they should follow the green or purple star guy at all times, I don't foresee any problems with this.
One thing I've been wondering is whether the workload for SGs can be decreased. My impression is there's still a lot of communication up/down the command structure and that perhaps the SGs could take a more macro approach and have PLs take more initiative?
As an example, SGs may order P1 to take Indar Bay Point, P2 to take Highlands Solar Station and P3 to take Sandstone Gulch Mining. At this point, it's down to the PLs to handle their forces. SGs shouldn't hear back from PLs until they've either completed the task (assault, capture, secure) and require new orders, or the task is currently unrealistic (in which case, they either need to be reinforced or redeployed). Once all Platoons achieve their goals, they converge on Hvar Tech Plant.
This could mean PLs don't report in for 10-15+ mins. I think the benefit of this would be that it gives the SGs more time to consider the strategic layer, where forces should be deployed next and organising with other outfits in Leader chat.
This could already be the case or I could be completely wrong, so please correct me or shoot me down if so. Thoughts?
This is pretty much exactly how things worked for most of the night. CMaster and I gave very general orders to PLs, along the lines you mention. "Take this", "resecure that", "reinforce platoon X at location Y". We did a couple of more handholding-type of movements, like asking specifically for an armour push from one of the platoons, or like the full monty Indar Excavation assault, but mostly, we let PLs handle their objectives according to their own judgement. I think it worked really well, as far as I could tell.
The one problem from my perspective was that since there sometimes was 15 minutes between reports from PLs, it could be tricky to know what was going on on the ground, how the fight was going, if people were having fun or bored from being stuck or from lack of resistance. We had to ask for sitreps from PLs rather often, which is not really a problem in itself. I did feel a bit like I was nagging on my PLs though.
Having Cooper relieve us of the duty of coordinating with other outfits was good too, though we could have had better contact, I suppose. Wouldn't hurt to have had a little better idea on whatothers were doing. I think some of the problem was that there weren't that many others with us on Indar. Should be better if we go somewhere else the next time, where we can fit a few more other VS.

Being SG was not really an over-worked task, either this time or last time (once we'd switched to the intermediate platoon level stuff). In general we didn't micromanage especially, save to sometimes request a squad is sent elsewhere, or request armour/galaxy movements to support another platoon.
Getting regular sitreps in is very much desirable, and shouldn't be discouraged. 15 minutes between reports means 15 minutes of the SG not having the faintest what is going on. It's very important to know how fights are going if you are to be able to react to PS2's very fluid situation at all. Reinforcements need to be brought in before the fight is clearly lost. Strategically as well, it's not worth having 4 platoons struggling through just winning fights. Much better to double up at at least one location, win quickly, then bring those now freed up forces to anther one of the slow fights, win that, repeat. To do that, you need a good feel as to how much resistance there is at each location, and how much progress is being made.
Glad to hear we're being optimal. As an SL, I only know what's happening at Platoon level, so no idea what's happening on the grand scale. My main concern was the occasions where you'd receive an order, then have it changed a minute later after hauling over to the new location. I wasn't sure whether those were PL or SG decisions...
Actually, regarding Priority Speakers on mumble: is there anyway the PL could talk to SG without all their ROs hearing it? Those folks were obviously chatting back and forth, and throughout the conversations I couldn't hear my own SL, my own squad, or even other ROs... And I'm sure a few PLs said that they couldn't hear their ROs when you were talking to other platoons. We resorted to Platoon Chat in game to communicate at one point.
By the way, in case anyone missed it, the post that Jim linked to on sunday, updated with screenshots from JG and me, I think.

In particularly I wasn't happy with how I handled the fights after defending Allatum (which from a PL's perspective was rather epic). I was basically told to do what I liked with you lot at that point and decided to go for TI Alloys and then the impact site... but I got all indecisive about whether to defend TI alloys after we'd taken it and failed to make a decent decision. We ended up losing TI Alloys and failing to take the impact site, so with hindsight I should have just picked one area and stuck to it, which would have made all my minions happier too I imagine.
But it might be logical to reduce the 'responsible role' number, if not to avoid a lack there of, then for a few i'll now go on to mention.
Yesterday afternoon/evening when a few squads of us were trying to take Quartz Ridge, A BRTD platoon showed up. After a while we noticed a tactical pattern. Usually in two groups (ie. ~24), their Heavy Assaults and MAX's would be the main engagement troops. whilst their Medics and Engineers were much more disciplined and tended to congregate towards the rear, evading combat rather than actively engaging in it. It was a very effective tactic. I reckon they would have held on for a lot longer if our Zerg hadnt turned up and overwhelmed them.
Obviously though, BRTD is BRTD. Nobody's particularly surprised by that example as that's just typical them.
That anecdote aside, 2 squads of 24 in 1 mumble channel might (hopefully?) encourage those squads to stick and work together more closely. Those who have PL'd or SG'd know all to well that when it comes to capping, individual squads(12) are only really good for ghosts, A, B and C or other 'point objectives'. Basically, you tend to get things done better with more people... However, returning back in the interest of Boris' point, with this system you now effectively have 1 big super squad(24). 1 SL, 1 RO(Mumble). The SL has more vocal influence sure, perhaps even becoming a bit more of a demi-PL, but ultimately he/she's just doing what their PL tells them. Who in turn, now only has two squads of 24 people to worry about moving to the SG's given objective. Concerning the other in-game SLs, they merely have to place squad waypoints that match the overall SL, and deploy a beacon for their group of 12 when needed (i.e. just using the PS2 UI). With the exception of perhaps leading their 12 as a fireteam at the overall SLs discretion. Which again would be visually simple to follow in terms of UI. As long as things are clearly communicated within mumble.
(Tactics wise) There's potential there to breed squad-level, class-based tactical gameplay. Something similar to the BRTD example above. Though in oppose to any form of disciplined, restrained squad role, i think this would more happily evolve from my next point.
(Geographically speaking) Two squads on the ground, interacting freely and within arms reach of each other are arguably going to perform better than having them restricted to one channel each. "I need a res! I'm near the SCU Gen! Look out though, there are two MAX's there". After hearing that, people who tend to roll as Medics will naturally converge on that position. Though this time, potentially another 15-18 people hear it too, leading to ideally better efficiency through (rapidly responding friendly numbers > current enemies at that position), potentially leading to a higher chance of a quick res too. Obviously tactics are subjective to how quickly the battle changes, but having an active 'thing' of "ok guys, lets try and focus on sticking together. If you check your maps for Greens and Oranges and support each other" might not be all that bad a decision?
(Players wise) I've personally found that Tacplay naturally induces a more focused and less clusterF'd comms atmosphere. So whilst the argument about it "being to busy" is valid to a point, i dont think comms discipline is as much of an issue now, as it was before... Sure, when the action is at its hottest comms will flare up, but between typical conversations, enemy berating and general lollygagging there are always going to be audible lulls for new players to chime in with a question or five. If they don't, then they actively chose not to... Heck, more vocality could even lend more to that whole "bigger picture" feeling everyone creams over, at least to a certain extent maybe?
That last little bit isnt me being passive aggressive by the way, it's my attempt at a witty link to a film coming out this year i cant wait to see!
Anyway, this is possibly only going to be something to seriously consider when the ranks start swelling to the dizzying heights of yonder Thurs... "If it aint broken, dont fix it" and all that.Steam - Nick
I think the separate squads-in-channels thing works well - when the SLs are coordinating, the ROs are feeding back and forth, the PL is doing their job. As new players become more experienced and we get used to the roles (and more people who feel comfortable stepping up to take on those roles) this whole process will be slicker and slicker.
It does require SLs to be on their game a little more, feeding information back and forth from SL to SL and down to squads as well. 24 people in a channel seems to busy for me when you're trying to get a bit more tactical with it all, and doesn't allow for standard levels of chat between players.
After all, this is a game. People are here to have fun. I'd rather have split comms and some good banter going back and forth.
That's just me though.
Edit: There's nothing to prevent the PL ordering two squads to coordinate together to put a MAX Crash in on a target, and nothing to prevent a squad leader requesting that people pull particular classes for that to happen - it's up the SLs then to sort out who goes where and who does what. That would work just as easily (and possibly better) with split comms then everyone in channels. It's also worth nothing that squads get very inter-mixed when you're running single channel vs. split - which can cause delays when you need to start spreading out or focusing squads on different objectives.

I need to add though, there a couple of times, really, like two, where I had to tell all to shut it for a second. If this is not your style, or if youre playing with easily offended people, maybe you shouldnt have two squads :D- Tom De Roeck.

Gear Review: Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor With Foot Pod
I love training with a heart rate monitor, and Polar is my favorite brand. These days I have been working out with the RS300X ($170). Designed with running in mind, this HRM is great for other sports as well.
For me, the feature that distinguishes this heart rate monitor from others I have used in the past is the big red lap button at the bottom of the watch face. Press it, and the watch saves your stats for that lap, but keeps on recording the rest of your workout. When you're done with your workout, the RS300X breaks down your workout data by lap as well as giving your info on your overall workout. It is great for working out at the track when running repeat distances or when training with negative splits. When combined with the S1 Foot Pod ($130), the heart rate monitor tracks your speed and distance as well — perfect for all the type A runners out there.
For more of my opinion, keep reading.
Although not as cute as the feminine raspberry FT60, I love this HRM. I have it in black, but it also comes in orange. The watch is a little beyond my experience as a runner, but it sure has motivated me to pound the pavement and add up miles. The RS300X stores up to 16 individual workout sessions and 16 week summaries. You can see the miles, speed, calories burned, and heart rate zones with the press of a few buttons. The S1 Foot Pod laces into your shoe strings and although it looks big, you can't really feel it when running. You do, however, need to tuck your laces in so they don't slap about on the hard plastic, because the repetitive sound can be really annoying. One motivational feature I love is that you can program the watch face to count down until your next event, alongside the date and time. I have 40 days to train for the 10k I just signed up for, and my watch tells. You can set zones and alarms for heart rate zones as well as speed and distance.
I used this HRM when training for my last triathlon, and it was great when I did brick workouts. I also wore it when I raced, and even though the tri was not a chip race, I have the stats on each section of the race and my transitions. Super cool.
You can buy this heart rate monitor directly from Polar or check it out in person at REI, where it's $20 cheaper. Regardless of where you purchase this model, the heart rate monitor comes with a chest strap.

John Debney is one of the most talented, versatile and in-demand composers working in Hollywood today. Just this year alone, he has composed and scored for the poignant drama "The Stoning of Soraya M" and Disney's mega-comedy hit "Old Dogs." He's currently composing the scores for Garry Marshall's "Valentine's Day" and "Iron Man 2," both due in 2010, and "Sin City 2" and "Sin City 3." His past film credits are widely diverse, showcasing his range. Some of these include "Aliens in the Attic," "Hannah Montana: The Movie," "Hotel for Dogs," "Swing Vote," "Evan Almighty," "Georgia Rule," "Raising Helen," "The Passion of the Christ," "Liar, Liar," "The Princess Diaries" and "I'll be Home for Christmas."
John Debney received an Academy Award® nomination for Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ." His score for "Cutthroat Island" has been celebrated by music critics as an example of great swashbuckling film music and as one of the best film scores in history.
Born and raised in Glendale, California, John is the son of Louis Debney, the producer for Disney Studios who made such films as "Zorro" and "The Mickey Mouse Club" television show. He gained his entry into the competitive world of film composing from the esteemed composer Mike Post. The rest, as they say, is history.
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with busy Mr. Debney at his Burbank office, near Toluca Lake, across the street from Warner Bros. Studios. Fun and energetic, I enjoyed hearing his stories.
Kat: You've worked with so many different directors and I'm sure they all work differently. Can you explain their styles? For instance, you've worked quite a bit with Garry Marshall.
JD: Well, interestingly enough, Garry as a director wants to hear dialogue and not a lot of music, and other directors are just the opposite and want you to cover everything with music. In the case of Mel Gibson, he's somewhere in the middle. He was very conflicted during "Passion of the Christ," so it was a trial and error. The smartest thing I did with him was to have him sit with me while I was composing the music. Walt Becker ("Old Dogs") is very hands-on, likes lots of music and choices. They're all different.
Kat: Who are some composers who you admire or have been influenced by through the years?
JD: So many… John Williams is one, certainly Jerry Goldsmith and Alfred Newman. Eric Wolfgang Korngold. Titans of film music. I also like Rachel Portman. I wish there were more women composers and more opportunities for them. Rachel Portman is great, busy and does films as well as plays and musicals.
Kat: Do you read the script before you begin scoring?
JD: I'll tell you, it's hard for me to write music from reading the script, although I've done it. But invariably what happens is, I'll read the script then come up with some ideas. I'm a very visual person—so when I get some footage or a scene or two, that's when I really start getting my own creative juices going.
Kat: Any directors you haven't worked with yet on your wish list?
JD: Many. Steven Spielberg is one—though I worked with him when he did television. Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Chris Nolan. I think he is a stunning talent. It's so important to meet new directors; I try to all the time.
And I'm sure all the new directors want to meet John Debney. Look for this dynamic composer to land a nomination for his score for "The Stoning of Soraya M" during awards season. He's simply too unique to overlook. For more info on John Debney visit his Web site www.johndebney.com.

My discovery of Beyond Twilight was only a result of my fascination with Kelly Carpenter's voice leading me to dig up everything I can find involving his participation. Now, the added bonus of this discovery is seeing that the beloved Jorn Lande was a part of this ensemble, for this gem: "The Devil's Hall of Fame".
Jorn Lande has, and always will be, one of my favorite metal vocalists. His raw, rough and intensely powerful voice is second to none, with only David Coverdale coming to mind. True it may be that Jorn was a fond admirer of David Coverdale (which is pretty obvious when he performs freestyle vocals, and being that he was a singer in a Whitesnake tribute band), but Jorn has now trademarked a sound in Metal that is just simply unmet by any other vocalists, and remains to be one of the most prominent and recognizable voices for Progressive/Power Metal of our time.
Contracting to Beyond Twilight for this release was a GIANT leap forward for Jorn, allowing him to express a mixture of his signature freestyle singing, as well as displaying his extremely well-trained and disciplined melodic vocals for the more tame areas of the compositions. His ability is almost fully unfolded within this release, hitting notes that I honestly didn't even know he had, and experimenting with a more bizarre style of scat singing [worded loose]; for instance, in the track "Crying".
The song-writing in this release is exquisite. There are no boundaries, no flaws, and absolutely no stagnating features. Every song is a different experience than the others, and each show a vast array of abilities in compositional skill and creativity. Not once does this album become excessive in any aspect; where it needs to be tame, the tracks remain tame, and when absurdity is required, it is met. The standard of composition is obscenely professional, setting the bar for Progressive Metal at a ridiculous height.
Beyond Twilight have opened a totally new gate to the world of Progressive Metal, and if they continue to contract the greatest singers in existence, their obscurity will be completely shattered by the monstrous fan-base that this group will SURELY acquire. Just like in the case of such bands as Anubis Gate, it is a massive disappointment that notoriety is not what these masters of metal possess, because after experiencing "The Devil's Hall of Fame", everything else seems worthless.

The 2013 Da Lat Culture and Tourism Week will kick off tonight, Dec 27, with a host of activities including those to hail the 5th Flower Festival and celebrate the resort city's 120th anniversary.
The opening ceremony, set to take place at Lam Vien Square on Yersin street tonight, will kick off the festive week, to run until Dec 31, which includes the announcement of the 2014 Central Highlands – Da Lat National Tourism Year, the Da Lat Flower Festival and the celebration of the city's 120th anniversary.
According to the organizers, over 1,700 artists and artisans from across the country will perform at the opening. The 100-minute program will feature the re-creations of flower and vegetables cultivation spanning from the early days when migrants brought in seedlings from the north of Vietnam to the modern day. Another highlight is the re-creation of how Alexandre Yersin, an eminent Swiss-French physician and bacteriologist, who is most remembered as the co-discoverer of the bacillus responsible for the bubonic plague or pest in 1894, discovered the city of Da Lat.
Several activities have already begun on the morning of Dec 27. One of them is the "Da Lat's floral spaces" show, which is running in the area surrounding Xuan Huong Lake and the city's major flower villages including Van Thanh, Thai Phien and Ha Dong in wards 4, 12 and 8 respectively.
The "Da Lat Flower and ornamental creatures" display, which is going on at Da Lat Flower Garden, boasts various breeds of flowers, including rare ones and those unique to the city, along with different kinds of precious stones and stones used for fengshui purposes from around the country.
The four-day "Hoa Binh night", running at Hoa Binh Theater next to Da Lat Market, features fascinating performances by street artists. The countdown to the New Year will also take place there.
Meanwhile, the Da Lat flower market sessions along Nguyen Van Cu Street offer tourists stunning flowery spectacles to pose for photos, various kinds of produce to choose from and displays of local farmers' techniques in growing flowers and vegetables.
Themed "The breath of the jungles", the Central Highlands art show, set to take place at Lam Vien Square on Yersin street, features a large number of ethnic minority artists and artisans as well as ethnic singer Ya Suy, winner of the 2012 Vietnam Idol.
With the participation of 20 champagne, coffee and tea producers, the Da Lat champagne and specialty 'street' will be open to the public from Dec 28. It's expected that some 10,000 liters of champagne will be served for free during the festive week.
To commemorate Da Lat's 120th anniversary, the city will be decorated with hundreds of flower baskets, arrangements, and ornamental plants around major tourist attractions such as Xuan Huong Lake, Prenn Fall, and Le Dai Hanh – Ong Dao bridge.
Another highlight of the festival is the parade of floral cars and bikes throughout the night of Dec 27. Another is the program "The convergence of Da Lat hues," which features floral fashion and masquerade performances and displays flower breeds that can't be grown elsewhere in Vietnam.
Nostalgic travelers can relish in local veteran artists' famous romances and everlasting love songs at the Da Lat train station on Quang Trung Street on Dec 28 and 30 nights. They can also find out more about the city at the documentary photo exhibit "The age-old Da Lat train station" after which they can join in an exchange with Volkswagen buffs.
It's show time
According to the Lam Dong province's Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, some 15,000 visits were made to Da Lat in Dec 26. The number is expected to rise by five times by Dec 27 evening, which means the resort city will receive some 200,000 visitors during the week. One of the new points at this year's Flower Festival is locals' greater participation in the street activities, the organizers noted.
The provincial Department of Transport and traffic police said that the usually congested streets are now cleared, and they will give their best to make sure few traffic jams happen during the week. During the opening, vehicles will be stopped from entering several streets around Lam Vien Square.
Around 6,000 tourist maps designed specifically for the festive week will be issued to tourists, who will also be offered free coffee, pots of Da Lat flowers and Tuoi Tre daily newspapers.
Meanwhile, to welcome the flower fest, Vietjet Air on Thursday organized an in-flight floral bikini show on its maiden flight from Vinh city to Da Lat with Miss Fashion Truong Tri Truc Diem and its cabin attendants dancing in bikinis made of thousands of flowers.
Hotel rates jump 3 times
As soon as the 2013 Da Lat Culture and Tourism Week was launched, several hotels in Da Lat hiked their room rates by twice or three times. Most hotels, including luxury ones and those in remote areas, are fully booked.
According to the statistics released by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the city is now home to 642 hotels with roughly 11,000 rooms, which provide accommodation to some 35,000 tourists a night.
The provincial People's Committee earlier announced its hotlines, 0913.881271, 0913.953207, 0913.853053, 0918.007267, 0633.701788 and 0633.701726, which locals and tourists can call to report scams. Help will also be offered to tourists in case of emergencies. The numbers will be in service 24/7 and are publicly posted at all local service providers such as tourist spots, restaurants, hotels, cafés, and shops.
The provincial Center of Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion also launched the Information and tourist assistance center at Xuan Huong Park on Tran Quoc Toan Street on Dec 26 to provide guidance and help to tourists during this festive week and the upcoming Tet. The center will be in service from 7am to 10pm every day. Its hotlines are 0633 673333 and 0633 725555.
