England's Test series against New Zealand got off to a wet start as play was abandoned on the first day.
There was no play before lunch on Day One of the First Test at the University Oval, Dunedin, New Zealand, because of rain.
After persistent rain throughout the afternoon, the weather relented slightly.
Following an inspection at tea, it was announced there would be a second one at 4pm local time.
Play was eventually called off for the day at at 4.15pm local time.
Play is being rescheduled to start half an hour early each day - at 9pm GMT - to make up time during the remainder of the match.

Nearly forty years after his death, Elvis Presley is still getting some parents in Utah âAll Shook Upâ over lyrics they say are too sexual for students to perform in their high school musical. The complaints that ultimately led the school administration to ban the production.
Earlier this week, officials from the Jordan School District made the decision to not allow Herriman High Schoolâs Shakespearean production of âAll Shook Upâ to go on, for fear that some of the material may be too sexually driven for a community performance.
Have these people listened to the radio since 1956?
However, representatives from the school say there are currently some amendments being made to the production in order to develop a musical that adheres more to the districtâs âcommunity values.â
Wow! We havenât been this sensitive since we were 15-years-old.
Jordan School District officials say they now require students to get permission from their parents, as well as drama teachers, to seek approval for any production not on the "approved" list. So, weâre guessing that a stage performance of âDebbie Does Dallasâ set to Richard Wagnerâs 'Ride of the Valkyries' is out of the question?

A temporary victory for the NIMBYs. How much will the decision to deny the methadone clinic occupancy cost the City of Torrington? After reading Martin Connor's opinion I am surprised that attorney Summer's was the only individual who voted in favor of the clinic. Perhaps Mr. Connors did not realize that the Cancer Center is contemplating a move, thus even less traffic.
A soundoff writer once again has ideas for what the Catholic church could do with some of the property it owns. The writer also had after the fact ideas for Sacred Heart School. I am curious as to why the writer feels the Catholic Church should open shelters. Why, if this person feels so strongly about others doing what they think needs to be done, why aren't they stepping up and doing it themselves? They can easily enough turn their home into a homeless shelter. Surely if they feel so strongly about what others should do they could lead by example. Then all who feel a burning desire to help others would have an example set by their selfless example. This person while they have selfless intentions beyond stating what the buildings could be used for needs to do a reality check. Who would staff the buildings, oversee the clients, provide heat, food, clothing, bedding, laundry facilities. Yet another nice, politically correct idea that looks great in print. Especially when saying what others could do. However, impractical and poorly thought out as usual.
I can certainly understand John McCain's anger regarding a possible cover-up involving Benghazi. Perhaps he should be directing his inquisition to the previous president's cause for war in Iraq. A war based on lies and information purposely ignored to promote war.
I warned you people months ago that as soon as the election was over we would see blaring front page headlines about the massive state deficit and mandatory tax increases. So it is less than a week and suddenly there is a looming fiscal cliff in Connecticut, which of course Malloy and the Democrats knew about nine months ago. As long as you keep re-electing Democrats, Connecticut and the country will be in a ever increasing spend and tax cycle that leaves us all poorer and under the heel of a dictatorial government. Now Connecticut faces a catastrophic $3 billion dollar deficit and Malloy will not cut any programs and NO layoffs. Connecticut is headed off the cliff.
Shame on the "former" Grand Ole Party"! What terrible Losers the "Good Ole Boys" of the GOP are ( McCain and Graham!)... After losing the Presidency, overwhelmed in the Senate, and losing seats in the House... The Losers of the good Ole white boys club have resorted to playing dirty again, as a distraction from their losses! Everyone knows that terrorists hit our Libyan embassy and that the State Dept. failed in security, What do good Americans do? They fortify our embassies and go after the murderers, Exactly what our president is doing! What do unpatriotic Americans do: Criticize our leaders and bring negative attention to the world and Alcheida about how the opposition (gop) hates their president of the USA! ...So much for patriotism.... All hail their fair-weather patriotism .... Better that the cynics keep protecting their millionaire- billionaire compatriots while letting down the other 95 percent of American citizens! Thank god, that the "good Ole boys party" is starting to fade away!

Nationals Dominate in Season Opener
On Monday, to much pomp and circumstance of Opening Day, the Nationals opened their ninth season in D.C., but their first season as the reigning National League Eastern Division Champions. Awards were handed out like candy and the new division title banner was unveiled and the fun was just beginning.
Before a sell-out crowd of 45,274, the crowd got to see what they came for and it couldn't have been written any better. There was the typical run-saving, defensive diving play by Ryan Zimmerman, his shoulder finally repaired and healed. There was the seven inning shutout start by a dominant Stephen Strasburg, unhindered by an innings limit this season. Not to be missed, there was also a strong first save by recent off season acquisition, Rafael Soriano.
But perhaps the biggest news of the day was Bryce Harper's two home runs. Harper hit home runs in in each of his first two at-bats of the season. Harper, who hit .478 in Spring Training, launched both of his bombs to right field. In the first home run, Harper crushed a curveball from Ricky Nolasco and sent it 385-feet to right field where a Jayson Werth look alike caught the ball. The second time, he sent a 3-2 slider the same direction and brought chants of "M-V-P!" and a curtain call for Harper.
The Nationals managed six hits off of Nolasco, yet it was Harper's solo home runs that made the difference leading the Nationals to a 2-0 win. The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year recipient is currently slugging 2.000 with a .500 average.

State Representative DebraLee Hovey (R-112) today announced what she considers to be her top priorities heading into the 2013 session of the Connecticut General Assembly following the tragic murder of twenty children and six administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on December 14, 2012.
"As an educator and a legislator I have put a great deal of thought into what the response to this tragedy should be," said Hovey. "In my mind the emotional and psychological impact of this event is so great that it will require a great deal of time and consideration to arrive at decisions that will make meaningful and helpful change. Toward that goal, I thought it was important to announce what I am considering as a part of the public dialogue that will get us working toward those solutions."
Hovey noted that the State of Connecticut already has some of the strictest gun laws and despite that, this devastating act still took place. There needs to be an examination of weapons such as the Bushmaster .223, and large magazine clips such as the thirty-round type used by the attacker in Sandy Hook.
"The purpose of civilian use of weapons such as this, and the availability of large-capacity clips are questions I currently wonder about," said Hovey. "Can we preserve Second Amendment rights for the more than 98% of lawful gun owners who are responsible, while installing appropriate limits against those most likely to abuse gun ownership and those who are a risk? I think we can. But the problems that have led us to the Newtown tragedy are not problems with guns alone."
Recognition of mental health problems, proper prevention and treatment are also critical elements to addressing this issue, as is the role of violent video games and the impact they may have on those with mental health problems.
Hovey outlined an immediate action plan which includes the following:
1. Ask the state's Congressional delegation to look into the violent video game industry and examine disclaimers on these games. Request that they introduce legislation requiring that all games have disclaimers about the gun violence and use of guns as toys. Along with that action I believe that each game should be required to have a time out in action after a 40 minute period of play when the game has a mandatory shut off for a 10 minute break.
2. Just as there is a fund from the gambling industry that goes toward prevention, Hovey said there needs to be a fund from the gaming industry that would be designated for psychological support and national public service warnings about what to do if a parent believes their child has developed an over-dependence to gaming, or is seeing aggressive behavior they believe is related to gaming.
3. There should be a national task force organized from top experts in child and adolescent violence to determine further action for prevention. Rep. Hovey has sent a letter to President Obama asking him to initiate this task force.
4. A State task force should be convened to discuss all aspects of the Sandy Hook tragedy and to make recommendations for legislation or social policy. This task force should investigate the issues around guns, assault weapons, and ammunition, loopholes in our present laws, mental health issues, psychological issues around violence and youth, school safety and policy.
Hovey said she looked forward to addressing these and other issues with the General Assembly and the Governor, who also took time to outline some of his priorities in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.
The regular 2013 session of the state legislature convenes on Wednesday, January 9th.

There was a lot of pointless aiming of guns at shit that wouldn't be harmed by gunshots. My favorite is when Nick Fury pulled a gun on the 2nd jet that took off.
I saw it twice this weekend and that was really the only thing that bothered me. It seemed like an easy way out to create conflict with Black Widow/Hawkeye and have Loki create the second portal, but it really only bothered me in the smallest tinest way that I forgot about in 5 min. I was wondering, was Loki's spear powered by the tesseract, or was that the mind gem in the staff?

My Backloggery
This happened in NY, right? Where was Spider-Man and the X-Men?
SHIELD giving the jumpjet with Evil Hawkeye on it a free pass was pretty dumb, too. Went something like:
"Jumpjet 1, we're not recieving your clearance code to land. State your business."
"We're carrying munitions and supplies."
"Oh. Well. Okay then."
Everyone just leaving Loki to hang out alone on a rock in the wilderness while they fought amongst themselves for 5 minutes, also pretty stupid.

I didn't really understand what Loki was up to when he got captured. Did he expect to be able to talk to Dr. Banner and make him Hulk out? Or was there something with the staff?
My Backloggery
The staff was pulsing some harsh vibes when they were all arguing in the lab, right?
Yeah. Like, they couldn't have made that clearer.

There's no such thing as stupid logic; if it is logical then it isn't stupid. The fact that the list you advocate was torn apart means really only one thing, brace yourself; not everyone has the same opinion as you. Stop throwing your toys out of the pram just because some people disagree with you and accept there is no fact on the matter.
I for one agree with The Low King; the list is much like the 100 High Archers in a tower list. It is brutal hard to get big points from, but it is also brutal hard to get big points with. Essentially all it will do is cock-block players out of high contention in a tournament, but you will get nowhere either, so what's the point? If you are only going to tournaments to annoy people then there's something wrong, and there's a lot more to dislike about that than Warseer (and it's no secret my feeling for this site these days, but dues are given when earned).
BTW Lorcryst, please don't preach about irksome values on the internet and then equate math-hammering and play WAAC. WAAC stands for Win At All Costs, All Costs being the main thing here. Most WAAC gamers play only hard as nails lists, don't have any concern for the fun factor of their opponent, lawyer rules to their advantage, and in some cases will gladly cheat. Don't mix this up with a competitive gamer. More so, don't assocaite mathhammer with being competitive only. Many people come on claiming, 'I don't care about winning so just ply', but then rage quit or go emo when they lose all the time. Math hammer is used in fun games also to make sure you don't just always throw yourself into situations where you have no hope whatsoever.

BracketCat breaks down the UCF game.
I think the environment that we're going to play in Cedar Falls is going to be much more of a hostile environment than Memorial Stadium in Kansas. That was pretty docile. And the type of team that we're going to be playing is going to be a much more physical, aggressive football team than KU. And quite frankly I think we're going to be playing a better opponent. I know one school is in the Big 12 and the other one is in the Missouri Valley. I think that gives an indication on how we see Missouri Valley play and the respect we give Northern Iowa.

Womens Jeans – Your Best Friend
A good pair is something that we all covet. Because of its versatility, most of us have a least a pair or two in our wardrobe. Wonderfully unisex, these classic pants have evolved to include different types of cuts and fabrics that accentuate our curves to the maximum. Women jeans are your best friend as they will never let you down. Dress them up, and they will accompany you to parties – just wear a party top with pretty embellishments and sexy heels on your soles. Dress them down by teaming them up with a classic white tank top and a pair of sneakers. Either way, you look great and enjoy great ease of movement. The best part? They are incredibly durable, look even better as they age and get washed out or frayed, and don't need ironing. What beautiful sorcery!
Zalora.sg | Denim Delights Online
Besides the normal blue shades of denim, a creative reinvention has introduced far more colours on the classic cuts. From shocking pink to the more mellow brown and yellows, you can now buy women jeans online in your favourite colour at Zalora.sg.
They even come in animal, floral or patterned prints. Various brands such as Hudson and Ksubi carry such cheerful colours that it lifts your mood just by looking at them. In addition, women jeans Singapore now come in different cuts to flatter every body type, so fret not if you need more curves or want to find a cut that suits you perfectly. High waisted cuts work best for women who have an hourglass, athletic, or boyish frame while the boot cut will look good on almost anyone. Look for materials with a small percentage of spandex for a little stretch. When trying on jeans for women, be sure to look in the mirror from all angles, including the rear, to check that it is truly the best fit all round.

Speech by Alexander Stubb, Minister for European Affairs and Foreign Trade of Finland, Robert Schuman Foundation, Paris, 24 May 2012
(Check against delivery - Speech will be given in French)
Dear President,
Dear friends,
It is a great pleasure to speak at the Robert Schuman foundation in Paris. A founding father of modern Europe. A man of vision, who had the courage to look beyond national borders when nationalism taken to its extremes had done so much harm to our continent. I am also very pleased to have an opportunity to visit France at a time of great changes. A time of very important decisions for Europe.
My aim today is to tell some simple truths about Europe. All rational decision making starts by seeking facts. I will make some observations about the economic crisis and what needs to be done to fix it. Then I will try to present a coherent picture of the Eurozone economy and its rebalancing. And last, I will make some reflections on the institutional consequences of the crisis.
Eminent scholars point out, that even great and successful civilizations can face collapse. One only needs to look at Joseph Tainters Collapse of Complex Societies to understand that losing it is relatively easy. The most powerful point to emerge from this academic research is that collapse does not happen because of the challenges themselves, but the inability to react adequately to crises. Rational, fact-based decision-making is at the heart of successful government.
I am certainly not saying that the European Union or Western Civilization face collapse. But what I am saying is that we need the political courage and intellectual clarity to look at our fundamental problems and react with sustainable and logical policies.
Today, Europe faces a deep economic crisis of unprecedented proportion. The current crisis is not a simple thing. It is in fact an agglomeration of three overlapping crises.
First, we have a global financial crisis that started with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008; I remember that at first some thought the problem was restricted to the United States. Second, we have a Eurozone debt crisis that started with Greece and has badly escalated. Third, we have a serious crisis of weak European growth. Growth is stagnant and we all need to recognise the fact that without stronger growth we will never be able to solve the debt crisis to our satisfaction. Growth is also our insurance against future crises.
I do hope that we will not have a fourth crisis on our hands a political crisis meaning that we would be unable to steer Europe out of its current predicament. Elections have taken place, many governments have changed. But we cannot escape the fact that economic realities have not. You cannot just simply vote the crisis away. Anger, frustration and protest are no policies.
Europe has performed well in the crisis we have agreed to enhanced fiscal discipline, strong new rules. We have built a strong firewall to deal with the financial crisis. The main problems are at national level how to implement meaningful structural reform.
My own country, Finland, has not been immune to public dissatisfaction with European politics. Populism is a perhaps understandable, but short-sighted reaction to social change and economic uncertainty. To my mind the political landscape is no longer divided into left and right, but something I would describe as localists and globalists. The former seeking protection and the latter understanding that you cannot turn the clock back. The far-right and the far-left have actually much in common, both seeking nationalist solutions, when they no longer work. Like trying to deal with climate change within the confines of the nation-state.
Dear friends,
A European debate about growth has emerged. We need this debate, but at the same time we must be very clear about what we mean. How growth can really be promoted and which policies do not work.
One thing is clear we cannot promote growth by more government spending. We simply do not have that room of manoeuvre with Eurozone average public debt at nearly 88% of GDP. I know my Keynes, but we lost that option by overspending during good times. Countercyclical policies actually mean that we have to save during good times, not just spend during the bad. Otherwise you create a system of forever rising public debt, which is precisely what seems to have happened in many countries.
Another thing should also be clear - there is no choice between growth and austerity. It would be false to claim that a solution to our crisis would be to forget fiscal consolidation and just spend more public money. It could provide some short-term comfort, but it would also make things worse by making our debt burden heavier, like getting out of a hole by digging deeper. You do not help yourself by losing your credit rating.
The policy we believe in is growthsterity perhaps something impossible to translate into anything comprehensible in French, but the idea is quite simple: growth will only emerge through policies that will restore credibility to our economies by stabilising public finances and at the same time making structural reforms that will strengthen the economy. I believe this to be the only real option we have left. Finland had a deep recession in the early 1990s this is what we did when borrowing more was not an option.
A debate about smarter use of European funds is needed how to use the EU budget to strengthen growth. One key lesson is that no EU money should be spent unless it is underpinned by a healthy macro-economic environment.
There are also useful ideas about how to increase EIB lending or use European project bonds to finance infrastructure. Growth can be promoted with smart European spending, but we need to remember the true scale of these European operations. The European Union budget accounts for one percent of GDP it is in no case a weather changing instrument. Growth that will make a real impact on the European economy needs to come from other sources, from the private sector. Key items are investments, private spending, increasing economic activity, more trade. The key for restoring the confidence that will get private investments and spending moving is structural reform and the further development of the internal market.
Serious structural problems exist in Europe. Our labour markets are rigid, pensions systems need reform and our economies choke with too much regulation. This has to change for Europe to succeed. Structural reform may sound dull and they do not provide immediate results. But remember the Hartz reforms in Germany ten years ago reforms were made in the labour market and now Germany has been reaping rewards.
The same applies to openness. Erecting barriers would be the wrong reaction to the crisis. We need more free trade, not less. If we are to build sustainable jobs in Europe, they have to be in companies that thrive in the global market place. I will not accept the logic of protectionism it amounts to admitting that Europe cannot succeed. We need a strong Europe, not a Fortress Europe. But it takes courage to embrace openness. In the long-run Europe can only succeed and prosper with free trade and we should push for ambitious trade liberalisation.
The European Central Bank has acted decisively with its liquidity program, and bought Europe valuable time. But even the ECB cannot keep on pushing more money forever. ECB operations have succeeded, but at the same time it has produced even stronger links between sovereign borrowers and banks in weaker European countries as the liquidity has been used to buy sovereign debt. The ECB action has provided relief, but it is no substitute to reform.
Dear friends,
As the crisis consists of three interconnected dimensions, let me dissect responses one-by-one. Public deficits need to be checked. We must make Europe grow again. The financial system needs to be strengthened.
We cannot avoid the fact that most Eurozone economies took too much debt. Debts need to be repaid. This is why the fiscal discipline we have established needs to be respected. Improved economic governance the so called six-pack is a major European achievement. Strong rules, strong discipline. We must remember that we lost our credibility some ten years ago when we disregarded the Growth and Stability Pact. The same mistake cannot be repeated by fudging our new rules.
The same applies to the fiscal compact stronger rules on deficits. The compact should not and cannot be opened. We have to stop with the illusion that there could be easy fixes to the poor state of European public finances. Consolidation will take time and effort.
European growth is far too weak. It shows everywhere weak growth, high unemployment, punishing youth unemployment. The essential measures for making Europe grow again are founded on structural reform, developing the internal market and keeping Europe open. The Single Market remains a major European achievement and is the foundation for Europe as a major global economy.
Just to use one very practical example. We have an internal market, but it needs updating. Growth is strongest in the digital market place where only American companies rule because they have a big truly single home market, when we have a fragmented European market. If you want to sell digital services music, content, information - in Europe you have to deal with 27 different national legislations. The operational environment of the internal market has already changed and digitalisation is a never ending trend. At the moment the market is running ahead and legislation is lagging behind. We are back to basics make the internal market work. This is basic EU work much needed harmonisation.
France and Finland have cooperated closely on the promotion of the Digital Single Market. We have a mutual understanding on the importance of this issue for European growth.
What Europe essentially needs is Nordic capitalism. I think that we have managed to build a decent system combining both markets and welfare. Nordic economies are so small that erecting barriers was never a real option. You had to compete globally. At the same time we wanted to maintain an inclusive society, welfare for all. The labour market combines flexibility with security. We could afford this welfare only by having competitive industries based on knowledge and innovation. An inclusive society can be built on fiscal responsibility. I think our model carries a good lesson for Europe you can build an inclusive society but you need to work with the markets, not against them. There is no social Europe without a competitive Europe as its foundation.
The financial system is the essential transmission system of modern economies. If the economy were a physical body, then finance would be its blood-flow. Without credit, there is no business. Banks are easy to hate, but essential to the economy.
Both the global financial crisis and the Eurozone debt crisis have underlined how the financial system is a truly borderless world where problems in one country can have far-reaching effects in others through the banking system. One important rationale in crisis management has been a worry over unpredictable effects on the financial system. An uncontrollable crisis in Greece in 2010 would have provoked a serious banking crisis sending the continent into a deep recession.
The reform of the financial system is inherently a global issue that cannot be tackled by Europe acting alone. The eurozone, however, has specific problems of its own.
I am not blind to the fact that macro-economic balancing is required in the Eurozone. One way to look at the problem is that Germany became too strong, too competitive in relation to weaker economies in the Eurozone. From an economists point of view a tension was built between the strong German core and a weaker Eurozone periphery, a tension that started tearing the Euro area apart as the financial crisis forced investors to look at their lending policies with more prudent eyes.
Economists would also point out that restoring this balance, without breaking the Euro requires for money to flow one way or another - from the strong core to the weaker periphery. There are ways to do this and this is already happening to a degree with investors losing the money they have lent to Greece. But in a broader perspective we need a bigger transfer and you can do it either by a transfer union or increasing demand.
If the Union operated as a true federation, we would have a transfer union, but this idea is alien to many, not least to Berlin and Helsinki. So money has to flow to the south by increasing demand as I said earlier, the financially weak cannot increase spending, so the financially strong must do it. And I think that this is gradually taking place with Germany accepting a new position by boosting demand with generous pay settlements. This is very good news for the Euro as Germany is typically the biggest market for most Eurozone members.
What does the current crisis mean for European integration? I am a federalist at heart and more Europe would be my natural reaction to any challenge.
Much of what I outlined before actually entails more European action, working together. However, we must also be clear that the present crisis will not be remedied by institutional action. No treaty change can alter the economic facts.
Treaty change is not an option at present. We spent a European decade with treaty change. Good steps ahead, but I am asking myself did we lose sight of the main issue European competitiveness deteriorated at the same time and unsustainable developments in the Eurozone were allowed to happen. If European Councils spend now all their time debating the finer points of the economic crisis, earlier they spent their time immersed in institutional detail.
Treaty change is not an option and I suspect that even if we were to embark on treaty change any result would be thrown off-balance by a referendum here of there. So one simple truth is treaty change at 27 is over for the time being. We have to play with the cards we have.
The only way we can develop integration is in smaller circles, core Europe.
Cores exist already, cores are a fact. Euro and Schenghen are major cores. But it would be wrong to assume that these cores would always consist of older, more established member states. Looking at economic realities I would predict that countries like Poland or Estonia, both building robust economies, will seek seats in inner circles. This is a meritocracy.
I visited the City last autumn and the advice from the banking community was that the euro needs to develop into a political union. Enhanced economic governance is one answer.
I hold Jean-Claude Piris in high esteem and I think that he is right in his view that progress will depend on an avant-garde moving ahead. The Eurozone €17 is a natural, and treaty sanctioned avant-garde, but where I would disagree with my distinguished friend is his insistence on building separate institutions for this inner-core. The way to ensure that core Europe does not clash with the Union at large is to keep its institutions in common. The European Commission has to be in the driving seat both with policies at EU27 or €17 and decision-making needs to be embedded in the Council. Separate institutions bring the risk of disintegration.
I made a speech in Bruges last November where I made a remark about how an EU core is being made by the markets and not by institutions. Stronger Eurozone economies have had to take strong leadership in the crisis and assume major obligations. We should all seek to improve our economies and aim for sustainable public finances. The only way I can see eurobonds ever happening is by an inner core of solid Eurozone members issuing joint debt, not because of economic weakness, but strength.
A paradox has emerged in Europe its most successful institution at present is the European Central Bank. The ECB seems to be the most decisive institution in dealing with the crisis, but this does not reflect well on the others the European Council and the European Commission need to take leadership in promoting growth and making structural reform a reality. We talk endlessly about competitiveness, but as Nike says Just Do It.
What we need is the restoration of the community method requiring strong leadership from the Commmission.
Dear friends,
I promised some truths about Europe, simple truths. Let me see where we are in terms of delivery, making good on this promise. Do I have a top ten of plain European truths?
One: We need strong growth, but sustainable growth will only come by structural reform and developing the internal market into the digital age.
Two: Promoting growth by taking more debt is not an option for Europe.
Three: Smart European spending can help, but it is no substitute for structural reform.
Four: Europe needs openness to succeed more free trade, not less. Protectionism is no answer.
Five: Many member states took too much debt and let their public finances out of control. This can never be allowed to happen again.
Six: Banks are important for business, and we should manage the financial system better.
Seven: Treaty change is not an option at the present and it cannot alter the economic facts.
Eight: Cores exist, but the old establishment has no automatic claim in belonging to them. Meritocracy matters.
Nine: The Community method has to be restored.
Ten: If the Union did not exist today, we would need to create it.
Dear friends, to conclude,
We have a serious crisis, but on balance Europe has been a success story. With the correct policies we can overcome the present crisis and make Europe more competitive, a home for new industries. Europe need not to be shadowed by America and Asia, but for Europe to prosper in the future we need the right policies, rational action.
I started my speech by making some reflections on the need for rational politics, enlightened decision-making. What better place to have a debate about rational action. After all rationalism is a great French contribution to civilization.

These old cast covers were used on some 0-290s and possibly 0-235s. They also fit 0-320s and 360s. After looking for years I recently bought a set from Mark Master in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. By the way -- he is a great guy and a fine craftsman. I am in the process of getting them ready to powder coat -- the idea is to have them look like the blue ones in the Leading Edge Exhaust ad but the blue part will be wrinkle black powder coat.
Have any of you had experience with these covers? I think they will be stiff and flat so probably will seal a little better than the stamped steel ones. But I'm wondering if all is OK when using them on an 0-320. I know they will fit but just looking to learn of any possible issue I haven't thought of. They are a little larger because the walls are 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick but looking at my cowling, that doesn't seem to be an issue. Please chime in if you have any experience with these kind of neat antiques.

updated: Schools close Monday due to icy roads
Ann Arbor Public Schools and most other Washtenaw County schools will be closed Monday due to road conditions.
In Ann Arbor, parents were notified at about 5:45 a.m. by email and automatic phone call.
"Roads are icy, especially along the unpaved and rural roads," said district spokesperson Liz Margolis in an email to AnnArbor.com.
Other districts in Washtenaw County that planned to close by 6 a.m. include: Saline, Ypsilanti, Willow Run, Whitmore Lake, the Washtenaw Intermediate School District, Chelsea, Dexter, Lincoln, Milan and Manchester.
Nearby districts like Van Buren Public Schools in Belleville, Clinton, Pinckney and Brighton also closed.
Later additions to the list include: Ann Arbor Christian, Ann Arbor Learning Community, Calvary Christian, Central Academy, Daycroft Montessori, Emerson, Father Gabriel Richard, Eastern Washtenaw Multicultural Academy, Early College Alliance, Greenhills, Hebrew Day School, Huron Valley Catholic, Michigan Islamic Academy, Rudolf Steiner, Spiritus Sanctus, St. Francis of Assisi.
The districts were among about five dozen to announce closings early Monday, according to a report on WDIV-TV. That number climbed to more than 120 by 6:30 a.m.
The day off gives many kids a four-day weekend, since all local districts except Ann Arbor closed on Friday due to snow.

Horrible film
By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 25 Mar 2013This film is mediocre at best. All of the humour is purile schoolboy smutty predictable stuff. Very disappointing after the rave reviews. Another film that demonstrates how much taste (or lack of) in films differs. The Jennifer Aniston character is so OTT it belongs in a Christmas panto. It did not do it for me-did not laugh once. the only redeeming feature was Kevin Spacey's perfomance,- Was this review helpful to you?

None Stop Fun
By a customer , 16 Mar 2013This was such a funny film and certainly passed the time away on a dull Saturday night. All hands to the make up department and how awful Colin Farrell looked and his awful character that he played. Also for once a film where Jennifer Anniston who's character was brilliant (not often I like her films but in this she was truly brilliant). Kevin Spacey as the control freak brilliant. A good film and would recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?

Thanks to an overtime goal from Andy Spahr, the Lions got their wish.
Penncrest ousted Malvern Prep (II), 4-3, in the losers bracket final of the ICSHL Class A South tournament last night at Ice Line. The Lions will now move on to face their archrival Strath Haven for the division crown.
By CHUCK SMITH
"We came out and played really hard and we didn't want this to be our last game of the season," said Penncrest center Paul Getz. "Everyone really played their hearts out and our goaltender, Tom Davis, played his game of the year.
"Everyone stepped it up three levels tonight."
Getz was a major reason the Lions even made it to overtime as he tallied two goals.
"Being a senior I wanted to be the one who scored the goals and made the plays," said Getz. "I really didn't want this to be my last game and I wanted to play Haven so we can get them back."
The Lions had to first get past the Friars, which proved to be no easy task.
Getz scored twice to offset a pair of Malvern tallies and make it 2-2. Aleta Mills hit Chris Sullivan with a beautiful pass that Sullivan banged in to give the Lions a 3-2 lead. Malvern would tie the game just 2:38 later to force the extra period.
Enter Spahr. Continued...
He capitalized on some free space and some hard work by Brian Arra to fire a shot past the Friars goaltender and give Penncrest the win.
"It's the first time I had a chance to win a game like that in overtime and it felt great," Spahr said. "We were just working hard and trying to make something happen and we did."
Spahr's shot capped off a solid overall effort from the Lions. Bob
Kenworthy had two assists and Joe Nardello had a solid game working in the corners and crashing to the net. Kyle Raport, Ryan Jordan, Bob Mayer, and Sean Gaffney also played well in front of Davis, who stopped 13 shots.
Strath Haven owns three victories over Penncrest this year and the Lions are looking forward to the opportunity to avenge their earlier defeats.
"We're looking forward to playing them," Spahr said. "We're going to have to play harder and better than we did tonight, but we'll be ready."
The tournament is double-elimination format, so Penncrest will have to beat the Panthers twice to capture the league title. The teams will face each other tonight at 7p.m. at Ice Line.

Outstanding lunch!
Posted on 07 / 07 / 2012While not a vegetarian restaurant, this vegan had an amazing experience at Olive et Gourmando. There was a line up, and we had to wait, but it was worth it. This cafe had such a great atmosphere. The service was top-notch, and I loved the music. I told the staff at the order counter that I was vegan, and she directed me to all my alternatives. I chose one of the salads, which was full of surprises, delish, delish, delish. Vegan options are limited, but the atmosphere and salad were worth it!
Pros: Great atmosphere, Friendly staffCons: Few vegan options

At my grocery store, organic baby carrots were cheaper than the regular kind. It's good to know you can eat right without breaking the bank. Thanks for the tips!
25 Frugal Items for Your Organic Vegan Grocery List
With all the talk about plant-based diets these days and the expanding market for organic foods, developing an organic vegan grocery list that's actually affordable is becoming more of a priority for some families. While it's true that many organic items can feel out of financial reach, it's equally true that a number of organic vegan items are within the price range of the typical American family. If you're looking to develop a list of go-to items to put on your vegan grocery list, these 25 are affordable, organic, and flexible enough to go the distance in a variety of meal plans. (See also: 6 Plant-Based Diet Tricks for Carnivores)
1. Flax Seeds
Full of essential fatty acids and nutrients, flax seeds are a powerhouse addition to the vegan grocery list. With the organic version available for a per-pound rate that's less than conventional walnuts, it's tough to argue against them. Great as an egg replacer in vegan baking, they can also be ground and added to baked-good batters, oatmeal, and breakfast smoothies.
2. Brown Lentils
When it comes to making your organic vegan grocery list frugal, stocking up for an assembly cooking round of lentil recipes obviously makes good financial sense. If you really want to pinch your plant-based diet pennies, then it's time to bring brown lentils to center stage. Suitable for curries, loaves, and soups, these bargain beauties can also be used in a variety of ways as a vegetarian ground beef substitute. I'm able to purchase organic brown lentils using my bulk bin bags for roughly $1.50 per pound. Since they double in size when cooked, this gives us a price of seventy-five cents per pound of organic, ready-to-eat product.
3. Bananas
At less than a dollar per pound for the organic variety, incorporating as many banana recipes as possible into your weekly menu plans is an affordable way to add both nutrition and flavor. Bananas are a great year-round vegan grocery item that can be used for frozen treats, baked goods, vegan pancakes, and even French toast. They are also an easy pack-and-go item for brown bag lunches.
4. Tamari
Essentially a wheat-free version of soy sauce, tamari is available in a low-sodium organic version as well. Smaller bottles are available at several grocery stores in my area, but the larger bottles are available for the six or seven dollar range at the nearest Whole Foods. Considering how long the supply lasts at our house, and the fact that it can be used for anything from creating my own soy burger crumbles to seasoning a homemade peanut sauce, this makes it a huge bargain in my book.
5. Carrots
When I think of cheap food that's also organic, carrots are one of the first items that come to mind. At Costco, I'm able to purchase whole organic carrots for roughly seventy-five cents per pound. However, even at most of the grocery stores in my area, organic carrots are still only a dollar per pound on average. This makes them one of the least expensive items you can have on an organic vegan grocery list. Grate them for a coleslaw, cut them for dipping, or chunk them up for a soup. There are many other ways to use carrots, of course, but the point is they are flexible and cheap, even if you are shopping organically.
6. Greens
By shopping at the warehouse store, I'm able to purchase one-pound tubs of organic baby spinach and mixed greens for roughly four dollars each. That's half of what I pay per pound for the conventional variety at most chain grocery stores. With these large tubs of greens, I'm able to make a wide variety of vegan sandwiches, dinner salads with hummus and bruschetta, and homemade spinach-and-mushroom pizza. I can even chop up either type of green to use as a taco topping. Many people pass on these when they shop using their club memberships because they think they won't eat that much salad per week. However, at our house we've found that by using the greens for other things we are indeed able to use the entire amount.
7. Balsamic Vinegar
I purchase mine at Super Target, and the price is consistently within a dollar or two of the conventional variety. With regards to usage rate, I put balsamic vinegar in the same category as tamari. Since it lasts for some time and I'm able to use it to season and sauce several different meals, the one or two dollar difference in price is an acceptable expense to me. Paired with a few sassy salad add-ins, it adds and elegant touch to dinner as well as a bit of zing.
8. Cider Vinegar
Not only can you use organic cider vinegar for homemade salad dressings like this berry vinaigrette, you can also use it for sauces, dips, and to "curdle" non-dairy milks for certain vegan baking recipes. Generic versions are available for those who are looking to get the best price possible. If you're trying to save money by stocking your pantry with organic vegan baking supplies, cider vinegar is a great place to start.
9. Coconut Milk
Whether you are using the richer canned version or the So Delicious brand in the half-gallon cartons, organic coconut milk is a serious secret weapon when it comes to going vegan. It can be used to make soups creamier, sorbets richer, and even as a coffee creamer. Another fun use for coconut milk is to blend it with roasted garlic and use it as an alternative pizza sauce.
10. Frozen Costco Veggies and Berries
One of my favorite sources for affordable organic groceries is Costco, and several of the items available are also vegan. At the top of my cheap list is their selection of frozen organic vegetables and berries. Having a bag of each type in the freezer is great if you want to be prepared for company. Mixed frozen peas and carrots can be used for potato-stuffed samosas, fried rice, or simply steamed and seasoned as a basic side dish. The frozen broccoli florets work in stir fries, pasta salads, and creamy soups. Their organic blueberries are priced comparably to the conventional ones I buy elsewhere and are a go-to item in our house for desserts, smoothies, and muffins.
11. Oatmeal
A regular on our grocery list at Whole Foods, we purchase organic oatmeal from the bulk bins and use it as a breakfast cereal, baking ingredient, and smoothie thickener. It's a heart-healthy item that keeps your budget in check and provides an easy-to-prepare meal option on a busy morning. Oatmeal raisin muffins and hearty homemade sandwich bread are other frugal recipes you can try.
12. Raisins
As shelf-stable bargain produce items go, raisins rock. While fresh fruit needs to be eaten right away, raisins can remain at the ready for granola, trail mix, muffins, scones, and more. If you feel like something more exciting, consider a homemade rum-raisin vegan ice cream or zesty, meat-free mince meat.
13. Sunflower Seed Kernels
Less than two dollars per pound at the health food store, organic sunflower seed kernels are one of my favorite ingredients to put a little protein into homemade bread, snack on with dried fruit, and even use as a salad topper. Some people with nut allergies use a food processor to create their own seed butter. Sunflower seed kernels, along with flax seeds, are one of my favorite ways to save money on a plant-based diet. We use nuts quite frequently instead of meat, but seeds are way more affordable to stock up on (often costing several dollars less per pound) and provide similar nutrition.
14. Romaine Hearts
At three dollars per pack, organic romaine hearts can make easy, low-carb taco shells or sandwich wraps, and are a great salad ingredient. Even a simple three-ingredient salad of grape tomatoes, romaine, and onions sprinkled with a little Italian seasoning makes a decent side dish for steamed fish, grilled polenta, or baked chicken legs.
15. Tofu
I purchase the generic Whole Foods 365 brand for a buck fifty per pound. For those that don't have access to a Whole Foods, most grocery stores carry organic tofu in the refrigerated section. While I don't rely heavily on this particular vegan grocery list item, it is handy to have on hand for Pad Thai, stir fry meals, and certain soups. Some people grill it in slices or cubed and threaded onto barbecue skewers.
16. Corn Chips
One of the easiest strategies for buying organic groceries on a budget is to purchase generic, store-brand versions of your favorite foods. Super Target carries a boatload (technical term) of store-brand organic items, including yellow, white, and blue organic corn tortilla chips. They cost less than my favorite vegan Doritos and have more in the bag. A bag or two of these per month is an affordable luxury for family movie night and a reasonably healthy snack to have with lunch.
17. Salsa
Large jugs of organic salsa can be purchased affordably at Costco. Because it's such a low-fat, nutritional power house, I use salsa to accompany not only the organic corn chips mentioned above, but also with vegan quesadillas, as a salad dressing, and even to jazz up crock pot vegetable soup when I have leftovers at the bottom of the jar. You can also puree salsa for when you want a thinner sauce to use on tacos and other Mexican dishes.
18. Marinara
Another affordable organic item for your vegan grocery list is Newman's Own marinara sauce. At the Super Target near my house, it sells for $2 per jar and can be used for pizza sauce on a homemade crust, breaded eggplant sandwiches, homemade calzones, and more. Paired with conventional or vegetarian breaded chicken patties, it also provides a time-saving hack to have Chicken Parmesan on the table in a flash.
19. Potatoes
For my money, organic potatoes are one of the more affordable items to put on your list. They last for some time in the fridge or root cellar, can take center stage at dinner time with a few simple toppings, and have a great deal of flexibility when it comes to side dishes. They are also a helpful go-to item when you are trying to prepare hearty meatless meals for people with big appetites.
20. Peanut Butter
If you want your organic peanut butter to be affordable, then where you purchase it will make a big difference. The two most affordable places I've found are the grind-your-own station at Whole Foods and the large-jar multipack at Costco. Once you have a deep supply on hand, you're all set to go for after-school cookies and tasty ramen recipes,
21. Tea
By purchasing loose or generic-brand tea, I'm able to enjoy the organic version at a comparable to lower cost than I'm able to buy conventional brand-name teas. Green and flavored white teas are our favorites for health reasons, but there are certainly a variety of others on the market. Making your own sun tea and adding a splash of pomegranate juice is fun way to make your own health drink without paying for the bottled drinks with all of their excess packaging.
22. Ketchup
As with peanut butter, where you buy your organic ketchup will great increase its affordability as a regular item on your vegan grocery list. I've always found the Hannaford brand of organic ketchup to be comparable to conventional alternatives, and they don't use high fructose corn syrup.
23. Canned Tomato Products
Purchasing canned tomato products by the case at Costco is one of my top strategies for bringing home this grocery item affordably. Buying in bulk is something we do frequently, and with fresh tomatoes fluctuating in price so often, canned is what we use the most of in the winter months. While everyone uses this product in their own way, our top methods include homemade pasta sauces, tacos, curries, and even as a soup broth ingredient.
24. Black Beans
I've always been a fan of black beans, but when I discovered that they have antioxidant properties comparable to cranberries, I started collecting black bean recipes with gusto. Salsas, wraps, hummus, and salads are just a few of the simple ways I incorporate them into our regular menus. I've never paid more than $2 per pound for dried organic black beans, and cooking them in large batches to freeze for later is simple enough to do on a Sunday afternoon.
25. Quinoa
What's not to love about quinoa? A nutritious protein source that cooks easily in your rice cooker, quinoa can be used for breakfast porridge, as a stir fry base, and in a chilled summer salad such as this quinoa-mushroom pilaf. It's also shelf stable, making it a perfect vegan grocery list item with which to stock your pantry. In the bulk bins at my favorite health food store, I'm able to purchase organic quinoa for less than $3 per pound, which I try to make my cut-off price for dry staple ingredients.
Developing an organic vegan grocery list doesn't have to throw your budget off the rails. With so many people being directed towards a plant-based system of eating by their doctors these days, I felt it was important to start providing resources on the subject. As always, I'd love to hear which items the readers put on their short list for organic, plant-based groceries.
Best of Wise Bread
^Thanks for the list, it is great and the only other thing I would add is the cabbage family. Are you aware that at Costco you can get a pretty large bag of Quinoa which goes a very long way? Try Ellie Kreiger sweet potato soup with peanut butter an cayenne, the best. Try Martha Stewart's butternut squash tea bread, so moist and makes great use of butternut squash which is a great veggie. Trying to maintain a plant-based diet can get boring, but we are holding fast to all the benefits. If any one wants the recipes mention, I would be happy to add or just google the info. St. Pete is where I was raised. The city is a beauty and can not believe how it has grown. My parents settled there in 1951. God Bless you and all your wonderful efforts!
Really helpful list. I was kind of surprised to see references to meat in 14 and 18 though. Vegans don't eat a lot of steamed fish and chicken legs! :)
Crack me up. I hear you, Alicia. The thing is, I know that making this transition is a work in process for many people, and some in fact are thrilled just to reach the 60 - 70 percent mark. Also, there are so many vegan meat substitutes out there that you can veganize nearly any recipe much more easily than you used to be able to. But I sure appreciate you taking the time to comment.
A good list. Thanks! The difference where I live (north Texas) is that Costco relentlessly has eliminated many organic products: peanut butter, applesauce, apple juice, unbleached flour, . . .
I know that not everybody shares my viewpoint; however, I will not knowingly purchase food from China. The frozen broccoli at Costco comes from China, for example.
Don't eat or buy corn chips, they're terrible for your health - oxidized fat. Ketchup is also a waste of time money.
Agree totally that flax and lentils are great bargains as would be any kind of soymilk, rice milk, tofu etc if you bought the soybeans or rice in bulk and made it youself. I now see flaxmilk in walmart for $3.19/gallon but its a huge huge ripoff because all it has is some flax oil in there and no flax solids - prob cost them 50c to make, just like that cr@ppy Trop50, which is just watered down OJ that they charge you the same price for. Ideally people should come up with some kind of recipe for a soy/rice/flaxmilk mixture that would be very cheap and very nutritious as soy or rice milk on their own don't really supply much nutrition and you have to limit consumption of whole ground flax to some degree because of the cyanide components and almonds are really too expensive.
agree with most of the rest but you really should grow your own greens if you can. in a simple 10 ft x 10 ft sq intensive plot you can grow 100 plants of lettuce, mustard, asian greens, kale, chard, etc etc and many are cut and come again so you get multiple harvest from the same plant - once the root system is developed they grow back fast. If you make that plot with organic amendments like compost etc you can easily easily pay back all amendments in the first year and the plots just get better and better every year.
Ok I have a serious question - is there ANY chicken/beef seasoning/cubes or anything similar that is solely artificially flavored and has no animal product in it? I know there has to be something because we have chickenless chicken patties lol. I really would like to know what to get, I would loved to be able to make chicken-less noodle soup :D
@Danielle - YES, there are vegetarian and vegan cubes (and broth). Also available organic. Whole Foods has them, and in Southern California a lot of regular grocery stores have them as well.
canned tomatoes contain a chemical on the inside of the lining of the can that causes infertility in rats (and humans) according to recent Berkeley university research in California (2006). only get organic tomatoes (dice them yourself).
There are some brands that have BPA-free linings. If you're not sure, you can stick with the jarred tomatoes, or the ones in the tetra boxes. Muir Glen recently started using a BPA-free lining in their cans of organic tomatoes, too. But I agree that buying them whole and dicing them yourself would be the safest way.

We talk about Water Consumption quite often and we discuss the usage of water run off and rain water collection, but what about using rain water for watering your tomatoes and basil and other edible plants? Is that good for you?
In the Organic Gardening's August/September Issue, a Falls Church resident asks a great question: "Is there a potential problem with using the water that drains off of [asphalt shingles]? Should I periodically drain out all of the water to clean out the sediment in the bottom of the rain barrel?"
He was asking this because he's been collecting water in his rain barrels that comes straight off of his roof to water his edible garden. I guess he was thinking it was like watering his garden with water from the pavement from the very dirty ground and then eating the produce and how healthy could that be? The gurus from the Organic gardener say that the powers that be- mainly the councils of the environment of NYC say that you can't compare the rain and run off from one area to the rain and run off from another area, so you really can't generalize how the water in your rain barrel is going to be and how "hazardous" it is to water with and then eat the produce.
Organic Gardening suggests these steps to minimize health hazards:
- Add a "first flush feature that will capture the fist 5-10 gallons of water that come off of your roof and hold it separately from the next rain- this would be like bird droppings, and the gravel from the asphalt run-off, etc.
- Apply water from your rain barrel to the soil around your plants rather than directly onto your plants so that the soil will act as a filter.
- Rinse your produce with clean, potable water before you eat it…
- Keep your rain barrel reasonably clean. Rinse it at the end of a growing season.
These are great, somewhat common sense tips from one of our favorite sustainable magazines, Organic Gardening! We still do know quite a bit about sustainable living and green building… ask us questions, and leave us comments, we'd love to hear from you!

In March 15, the new 2010 ADA Standards take effect for new and existing properties. Is your property ready? Below we review some of the most significant changes that will affect the lodging industry. The new regulations are a mixture of newly covered elements, changed standards, and "grandfathered" elements. Compliance with many of these new standards could be expensive, but failure to comply could be even more costly.
How did we get here?
It is important to know that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act for more than 20 years. Changes to the ADA have been under consideration for the past 10 years, with input from AH&LA at every step. AH&LA hired legal counsel and an economist, met repeatedly with the Justice Department and White House officials, held countless industry meetings and calls, submitted comments, and testified at various public hearings.
AH&LA was successful in representing the lodging industry's interests along the way. Many onerous proposed changes were withdrawn due to AH&LA's efforts.
In the summer of 2010, DOJ announced the conclusion of a 10-year effort to update ADA regulations by issuing what are known as the 2010 Standards. Since these standards were issued, AH&LA has focused on educating its members of their compliance responsibilities. In addition, AH&LA has asked DOJ for clarification on several key points.
AH&LA has developed several tools for our members to assist in compliance with the new ADA regulations. We encourage our members to visit www.ahla.com for copies of our webinar series, memos, informational documents, our new ADA Guidebook for compliance, and a new video titled, "Enabling Independence: Service for Guests with Disabilities," produced by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute.
What should the hotel industry be focused on?
The most difficult, costly, and troubling changes to the ADA involve pools and the requirement for operators to provide one or more means of entry for a disabled guest. All pools and spas must provide at least one means of entry that is either a lift or a sloped entry unless it is not readily achievable for them to do so. Larger pools (300 or more linear feet) must have a second means of entry, which could be a lift, sloped entry, transfer wall, transfer system, or pool stairs. Wading pools must have a sloped entry as long as it is readily achievable.
A lodging operator will want to ensure a disabled guest has access to pools and spas at any time these facilities are open to the public. If a guest has to wait to be given access to the facility, this would be considered discrimination under the ADA.
AH&LA has asked DOJ for additional clarification on this important issue. AH&LA raised the concern with DOJ that most pools do not have lifeguards on duty. Therefore, a permanently affixed lift may be an injury concern to children or others who play with the equipment, leading to injury or equipment damage. We have requested DOJ to allow portable lifts as an acceptable option that would be made available upon request. Any DOJ response will be communicated to our members.
The 2010 Standards add new requirements for health clubs for the first time. Hotel operators will want to review the layout of their health clubs to ensure appropriate clearance is provided in and around the club as well as around equipment. The new standards require one of each piece of equipment be made accessible for guests. Access at the rear of some equipment may be acceptable, such as a treadmill. This may force a redesign of health clubs or even equipment reductions to comply.
One area DOJ has provided helpful guidance for the new 2010 Standards is with service animals. The ADA now defines a service animal as a dog or a miniature horse (most the size of a large dog). This guidance resolves confusion over defining a service animal. In addition, a lodging operator can now ask the guest if the service animal is needed to provide a service and what service it has been trained to do. A guest cannot be asked to verify a disability nor prove that a service animal has been trained. The new 2010 Standards also clarify that under certain circumstances a service animal can be removed from a property.
A lodging operator will need to review all practices and policies addressing a number of other areas such as reservations, ticketing, power mobility devices, and effective communications. The 2010 Standards add many new requirements on the lodging industry in these areas. In addition, changes in the 2010 Standards may affect property alterations, new construction and barrier removal now or in the future. A property must be in compliance with all of these requirements by March 15 or they will be in violation of the ADA.
The impact of these new ADA changes on the lodging industry cannot be understated. The costs are substantial and the details are significant.
