Hipster ParadisePosted Aug 14, 2016
Pros: LOCATION
Cons: Maybe spend a little of the decorating budget on quieter A/C units?
To say this place is trendy would be an understatement. And I'm not complaining, either -- I loved the funky garage sale artwork and colorful retro object-filled lobby, the "brat" and "curd" pillows and red plaid bolsters on the beds, and the trio of shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower with such tasty names I didn't know if I should drink them or clean myself with them. Maybe the cloth bag holding the extra toilet paper roll was a bit over the top, but all in all it was quite charming. And the location -- just a block off of State Street and a few blocks from the lake and the lovely Memorial Union Terrace -- that was very nice, too. What wasn't nice was the air conditioning unit that loudly kicked in every five minutes to keep our room reasonably comfortable on a very warm and humid Wisconsin night. Two of the worst night's sleep in a hotel ever. But, hey -- we were in Madison, eating great food, drinking good beer, listening to fun bands at the Union, and could be back in the room in a few minutes - it was all good. And if the Concourse is booked, I'd stay here again, no problem!!

Perfect location on campusPosted Aug 6, 2016
Graduate Madison is located just steps from State Street on the UW campus. Restaurants, shopping, and most campus locations are an easy walk. The room was convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Although the prices were high, the ground floor cafe was good for breakfast. We also tried the rooftop restaurant which had great food and a view of the city.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.Posted Aug 4, 2016
Bad remodel of old flop house. Parking garage is too small for a Prius. Corridors are extremely narrow. Elevator is tiny and old. Rooms are really Small. Showers are so tiny, you bump your elbows on the wall washing your hair. Water pressure was really really bad. Towels and wash cloths were not changed out once during a 3 night stay. 7th floor roof top bar was nice, but wait staff was terrible. I'm not a hotel snob, but will NEVER stay here again.

Overall an Amazing Stay in MadisonPosted Jul 15, 2016
The old adage, "You can't judge a book by its cover" was certainly the case with our visit at the Graduate Madison. We arrived at the Graduate and before checking in decided to try parking in the underground parking garage. Bad choice! The very cramped parking in our opinion is designed for compact cars, plus we couldn't find a parking place. Had to basically back out of the parking garage. We pulled into the loading zone and entered the hotel. Upon entering the hotel we were greeted by college/cabin motif represented in the photos advertising the Graduate. Superb idea! The two young men behind the front desk definitely did not match the friendly decor of the hotel. With a little prodding we discovered there might be some on street parking or we could use a public parking garage a few blocks away. With some more prodding we were actually able to get directions on how to get to the public parking garage. We brought our luggage up to the floor to our room and opened the door. Our impression of The Graduate immediately changed for the better. We had just stepped back in time to the 1940's and our college days. Beautifully decorated in badger colors and meticulously clean. We now knew we had made the right choice to stay in this unique hotel. The location of the hotel allowed us to feel the excitement and energy of UW. Upon checkout we were greeted by a very personable and helpful Ricardo.

After saluting Antonio Carlos Jobim's lesser-known songs on The Other Side of Jobim, Ana Caram turned to his more famous work with equally splendid results on Bossa Nova. Jobim had recently died when she recorded the CD in January 1995, and the singer/guitarist felt that another tribute was in order. While Other Side purposely avoided standards, Bossa Nova is full of them. Anyone with even a casual knowledge of Brazilian pop-jazz and the bossa nova will be familiar with such standards as "The Girl From Ipanema," "Agua de Beber" and "Chega de Saudade." But while Caram's choices may be obvious, her treatment of them isn't. From "O Pato" to "Double Rainbow," everything on Bossa Nova sounds personal and individualistic rather than cliched. ~ Alex Henderson

Imagine that you are walking in the park and you have just finished a can of drink. There are no waste bins to be seen anywhere. Just when you are considering throwing the empty can into the bushes, you remember that your mother would not approve. With this in mind, you will probably continue to look for a waste bin. Even when we are not in the company of others, we can feel obliged to keep to certain standards of behaviour. Simply thinking about parents or a partner, for example, is enough to remind us how we should behave. These are the findings of research carried out by Janneke Joly. She will receive her PhD on 27 March 2008 at the University of Groningen.
It would appear to be self-evident that people's behaviour is influenced by generally accepted social norms, yet this is not the case. Even when people are aware of these norms, they do not always comply with them. Why is this? Previous research has shown that norms influence behaviour primarily when they are temporarily made more accessible in our memory. It is not something that happens automatically. On the basis of her research, Joly concluded that our awareness of norms is increased in 'humanized contexts'. In other words, we are prompted by others to attach importance to a particular norm at a particular moment. According to Joly, this happens in three ways.
Physical presence
We have all learned that we must be quiet when we are in a library. Joly concludes that this norm will become more important to us when we are surrounded by other people in the library. The norm 'be quiet in the library' thus becomes more important due to the physical presence of others. Other people can prompt us to comply with the current norms in other ways, even if they are not physically present but make their presence felt, for example by means of a laid table in a restaurant. We are more likely to be reminded of the norm 'eat with a knife and fork' if other people are present or we sense that people are present.
Personalized norm
It is also possible that an individual person is strongly associated with one particular norm. St Nicholas (the Dutch equivalent to Santa Claus) is an example of such a 'normative symbol'. When children see the saint's typical mitre or big book, they are more likely to share their sweets with other children and find it more enjoyable to do so. A test that Joly carried out with infants showed that they associate the saint with the 'share and share alike' norm. The results of this news were widely published in the media in November 2006.
On our mind
Joly also concludes that even the 'mental representation' of unfamiliar people, or especially friends or family, increases our norm awareness. The physical presence of people, or evidence of their behaviour, are not essential to emphasize norms. It appears that memories of people are sufficient to stimulate norm-compliant behaviour. In short, merely thinking about their mother will tend to make people more likely to conform to social rules.
Norm association
Finally, Joly's research has shown that people strongly associate norms with each other. In general, norm awareness is increased when a humanized context reminds a person of a norm. Therefore, when you are in a library and the (apparent) presence of other people reminds you that you should be quiet, you will be more aware of norms in general. It is likely that, at the same time, you will also consider other norms to be more important. This is a surprising finding that has emerged from all the studies.
Curriculum Vitae
Janneke Joly (Groenlo, 1977) studied Social Psychology at the Radboud University Nijmegen. She conducted her PhD research at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences at the University of Groningen. Her supervisors were Siegwart Lindenberg (Professor of Cognitive Sociology) and Diederik Stapel, Professor of Consumer Science at Tilburg University. Joly's research is part of the 'Breedte Strategie II' project, a joint project of the departments of Sociology and Psychology at the RUG. On I June 2008, Joly will take up the position of Lecturer in Behavioural Science and researcher at the Police Academy in Zutphen. The title of her thesis is People on our minds. When humanized contexts activate social norms. /JR

Rita Ora Goes Public With Her Relationship With Richard Hilfiger
Rita Ora went public for the first time with her relationship with Richard "Ricky" Hilfiger, a rapper and the son of famous designer Tommy Hilfiger, on July 5. The pair were spotted holding hands after their date at Nobu restaurant in London.
In some pictures, Rita was seen holding Richard's hands while exiting the restaurant. The 24-year-old singer opted for a casual style by wearing a leather jacket with a dark grey tee and light grey pants. She completed her looks with a black cap, sunglasses and red lips. Meanwhile, Richard kept it simple by sporting a grey sweater and black pants.
Richard was reported moving temporarily to London to accompany the "I Will Never Let You Down" singer. A source revealed, "Ricky came over to Europe to hang with Rita a bit more this summer. They really hit it off when they met and really like each other, so Rita invited him over to join her. They want to see where things might take them - they're just having a lot of fun," the source continued.
Richard allegedly accompanied Rita to the U.K.'s Wireless Festival this weekend. While the couple seemed happy, Rita's friends did not feel the same. Report said that Rita's friends worried over the former "The X Factor" judge's relationship with Richard.
The source compared Richard to Rita's former boyfriend Calvin Harris, saying, "He's a bit of a bad boy and a real world away from clean-cut Calvin. He openly boasts about smoking weed all the time on Twitter and has released mixtapes called Support Your Local Drug Dealer. People are worried he might not be the best influence on Rita right now."
Rita confirmed her split from Calvin by posting a tweet in May, "I've had an incredible time with Calvin and I'll treasure the memories. I've moved on from this topic. Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards."
The "R.I.P." singer has been rumored having a relationship with Richard since their pictures emerged last month. Their relationship apparently became serious after they met by chance at a party in Hollywood. Neither Rita nor Richard has confirmed their relationship.

Evans dorm renovation closer to reality: Plan focuses on floor life, safety
In an effort to bring Carleton's residential living up to par, the dark hallways and confusing columns of Evans Hall may soon get a facelift. The Evans Renovation Committee is working to secure $5.2 million for a project that would include changing the building's column-grouped room structure, adding lounges and an open gathering space, and creating a "Front Door." The committee hopes the changes will bring more "floor life" to the hall, which some students cited as lacking in a survey last fall.

It was a dump
This was advertised as a no smoking hotel yet when I walked in the room smelled like someone had just finished a whole pack. The locks on the sliding patio doors were not working, there was a pole keeping it shut. Since it was late I stood the one night and checked out.
The front desk personnel was great. They let us check in before 3 pm upon arriving. The tub had hair in it. Told housekeeping and they took care of it. Bed spread and sheets were too small for the beds, but comfortable and clean. Hotel needs more towels, they only left one face cloth for two people. All in all the stay was okay.
The bedspread had blood on it. The mattress was severely worn-it dipped in the middle. The curtains were not clean. The towels were dingy. No elevators. No A/C in the stairwell and hallways.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I can still remember how i found you in the corner
You were torn and dismembered
You were left all alone with your pain to remind you of the one that would bind you
With the duct tape alone you were left with you memories
Come along with me and we will leave this land together
Never mind those fucks that took your innocence away
Just reach out your hand and you will be with me forever
In my broken heart is where you'll stay
Time is like a burden
And life is so uncertain
There is so much more beauty that we can find in our pain
And if you will just be bold for a moment
Just one more moment and then....
All the little angels want to be a sex crime victem
Bloodstains on their hands and feet and left alone to bleed
If all the little angels want to be a sex crime victem
In my broken heart is where they will stay

Punjab MPs condemn clash inside Golden Temple premises
New Delhi: Terming as unfortunate and shameful the violent clash inside the Golden Temple during an event on the 30th anniversary of Operation Bluestar, Punjab MPs on Friday strongly condemned the incident and said that religion should be separated from politics.
The clash broke out between SAD (Amritsar) activists and guards of Shiromani Gurudwara Parbhandhak Committee (SGPC) task force during an event on the 30th anniversary of Operation Bluestar at the Golden Temple premises in Amritsar today, leaving at least five persons injured.
"Today is very important day for us. But we are also sorry that today this incident happened. We condemn it. This should not have happened," Shiromani Akali Dal MP Prem Singh Chandumajra said outside Parliament.
Asked whether Akali Dal or SGPC members instigated the violence, Chandumajra said, "It will be known only after the inquiry. An inquiry will be held."
AAP MP Bhagawant Mann described the incident as "shameful and a black day" and sought religion to be separated from politics.
"It is a black day for whole Sikh community and humanity as well. It is shameful," Mann said.
Blaming Akalis for it, the Sangrur MP said, "Akali Dal has mixed religion with politics. Religion should be separated from politics."
Akali Dal Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Gujral said, "It is very unfortunate. I also saw it on TV. This is the holiest place for the Sikhs. It is shameful, if such activities take place."
"But at the same time, I would say police cannot enter the shrine. It is the responsibility of the SGPC and Jathedars of Akal Takth...They have to maintain law and order and peaceful atmosphere," Gujral said.
When asked whether both Akali supporters and SGPC volunteers clashed inside the temple premises, Gujral said, "We hope that that SGPC whose writ run inside the temple will bring the situation under control. It is very sad and these kinds of activities should not have taken place."
He further said, "FIR has to be filed by SGPC or Jathedars of Akal Takth. Akali Dal as a party has nothing to do with this."
About the allegation that Akali MPs are also involved in the incident, he said, "It is only an allegation. Let there be an inquiry and whoever will be found guilty action will be taken against him."

Police commissioners and SPs made responsible for calls received in their jurisdictions
The toll-free number, 1091, meant to help women in distress, is now functional across the state. Post the Guwahati molestation incident, the plan to have the number accessible to women across Maharashtra was mooted in the Legislative Council. The move was necessitated given the rise in crime against women in the state. Of the 45 police units in the state, 32 have a person each attending to these calls.
The initiative was proposed in October last year but was implemented only in Mumbai and Thane. Also, the number was different for these cities. Post the tie-up with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) recently, 1091 was allotted as a toll-free number for the entire state.
The number was mooted as per the recommendations by a panel headed by retired justice Chandrashekhar Dharmadhikari. The panel had also suggested amendments to Sections 354 (molestation) and 509 (act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC. In the recent session, home minister RR Patil assured the Council that necessary steps have been taken to protect women's rights in the state and ensure justice for victims.
Deputy commissioner of Women and Child Welfare Department Ravi Patil said the number would help register more cases and the department will help by intervening and suggesting action. "The Women and Child Welfare Department will be in touch with the Home Department for any assistance after such incidents are reported. We can provide the list of counselling centres, shelter homes and short-stay homes to the department. This information has also been passed on to the Inspector General (Protection of Women),'' said Patil.
According to the Home Department, as soon as the call is received, it is directed to the respective police station in the district. The Superintendents of Police and commissioners of the districts are responsible for cases in their jurisdiction.

Everyone traveling more for more than 3 days or outside of Beijing and Shanghai must have a visa, even if you are arriving for just a day. Normally a tourist visa is for a 30 day stay but you may be able to get up to 90 days if you ask. You can also get double entry visas easily for a little more money while a multiple entry visa may be more difficult. You can normally get your visa extended while in China so if you think you don't have enough time don't worry too much.
Unless you are traveling as part of a group, you will normally need to arrange your own visa. It may be that your travel agent can help you for a fee. Search on the internet for the Chinese embassy or consulate in you country nearest to you. Some countries such as the USA also have visa agents but this adds substantially to the cost. If you can go straight to the embassy/consulate it will be cheapest.
Apply for your tourist visa 30 to 60 days before departure. If you apply too far in advance the visa will expire as it has an "enter by" date. Details and application forms can be found on the web site of the Chinese embassy for your country. Visas are normally processed in 3-4 working days but you can pay extra to rush it. If you go to the visa office you may be able to get a visa on the same day for a fee.
You normally need one photograph, a filled in form for each person and a bank check or credit card. Fedex or other courier can handle the transfer and return.
Application fees vary from country to country, as it's a tit-for-tat on the costs. If your country charges Chinese citizens a lot in visa application fees, then they charge you a lot back. Thus a Chinese visa for an Australian passport holder is less than half the cost of an American.
Visas are generally easy to obtain in Hong Kong and other Asian capitals in 1 to 3 days, so if you are traveling this is an option. Make sure to show up at the right time to apply (usually before lunch), with cash and be ready to wait in line (bring a newspaper or book!).
Beijing and Shanghai 72-hour visaFrom January 1st, 2013 citizens of the following countries will be granted 72-hour visa-free entry to the cities Beijing and Shanghai:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia,the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar
If you are in possession of a valid third country visa and confirmed onward plane ticket, you may apply for a transit without visa permit (TWOV) at Beijing Capital International airport (PEK), Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA).
This will allow you to enter China without a visa for up to 72 hours. Your 72 hours will begin to be counted from the moment you receive your TWOV permit at the Exit and Entry Administration desk at each of the above mentioned airports.
This 72-hour permit will allow you to remain in the city you entered through only (for example, if you fly into Shanghai Pudong or Shanghai Hongqiao International Aiport, you are not allowed to leave the city of Shanghai).
For more details, please check with your local Chinese Consulate or Embassy.

Del. lawmakers submit medical marijuana bill again
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Sun, February, 13th 2011 by THCFinder
Medical marijuana proponents have filed another bill in the Delaware legislature to legalize medical use of the drug.
This is the third straight year Senate Majority Whip Margaret Rose Henry has introduced medical marijuana legislation and Henry says she is optimistic.
Rep. Helene Keeley, the House co-sponsor, says unlike California and 13 other states, the bill would not permit people to grow their own marijuana.
Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson, R-Milford, says he is undecided, and concerned that marijuana is a gateway drug that leads to the use of more dangerous drugs.
The bill would allow possession of up to six ounces and Delaware's health department would issue identification cards for patients and providers.

US: Michael Foods 2013 earnings rise
By Katy Askew | 21 March 2014
Michael Foods sales, earnings rise
Michael Foods, the US egg-to-dairy group, has booked an increase in sales and earnings for 2013.
The company revealed today (21 March) that net earnings rose to US$50.36m in the 12 months to 28 December, up from $30.09m in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA totalled $257.84m in the period, compared to $242.8m in 2012.
Sales growth at the company's egg and potato businesses offset a decline in cheese revenues. Total sales increased to $1.95bn in the period, compared to $1.86bn the year before.
"We saw solid growth across the egg and potato businesses behind customer wins. The cheese and dairy business began to respond in the fourth quarter to our focus on core product lines and markets. We are delighted to deliver another record year of EBITDA," chairman and CEO Jim Dwyer commented.
Michael Foods has been the subject of recent takeover speculation, with reports suggesting interest from Tyson Foods. Fresh speculation this week has added Treehouse Foods to the list of would-be acquirers.
Michael Foods Reports Fourth Quarter Results
MINNETONKA, Minn., March 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Foods Group, Inc. today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Net sales for the quarter ended December 28, 2013 were $512.7 million, compared to $503.6 million in 2012, an increase of 1.8%. Net earnings for the quarter ended December 28, 2013 were $15.9 million, compared to $13.7 million in 2012. Net sales for the year ended December 28, 2013 were $1,948.3 million, compared to $1,856.1 million in 2012, an increase of 5%. Net earnings for the year ended December 28, 2013 were $50.4 million, compared to $30.1 million in 2012.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization ("EBITDA") and other adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA," as defined in the Company's credit facility) for the quarter ended December 28, 2013 were $69.7 million, compared to $67.3 million in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 28, 2013 were $257.8 million, compared to $242.8 million in 2012, an increase of 6.2%.
"Our team at Michael Foods performed well in a volatile and competitive 2013 environment, delivering excellent Q4 and full year results. We saw solid growth across the egg and potato businesses behind customer wins. The cheese and dairy business began to respond in the fourth quarter to our focus on core product lines and markets. We are delighted to deliver another record year of EBITDA." said Jim Dwyer, Chairman and CEO.
Michael Foods Group, Inc. uses adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of financial results, as an indication of the relative strength of its operating performance, and to determine incentive compensation levels. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide potential investors with useful information with which to analyze and compare with other companies in our industry our operating performance and our ability to service debt.
