(WSFA) - The biggest traveling week of the year starts today. AAA says that some 38-million Americans are expected to travel this Thanksgiving holiday which is greater than last year commuters. The increase in commuters means an increase in traveling costs. The average family is expected to spend $718 on the holiday trip.
Car travelers will get a break in costs due to cheaper oil prices. The Lundberg survey reported the average price of regular unleaded gas has dropped nearly four 4-cents a gallon over the last two weeks to $2.65 a gallon.
Those individuals who choose to fly the friendly skies, will see a boost in extra airline fees to check-in, check luggage, and reserve a seat. And now current $30 holiday surcharges have been issued.
Here are some travels tips and guidelines for plane travelers:

A view from the new creek bed looking toward Munson Medical Center. Below, Consumers Energy Foundation
President David G. Mengebier explains his company's appreciation for the evironmental project.
Consumers Energy Foundation Donates $50,000 to Project
Company officials endorse Kid's Creek Project and its benefit for environment
Consumers Energy Foundation has donated $50,000 to Munson Medical Center's Kid's Creek Restoration Project as part of the utility's commitment to the environment.
The project is a partnership between Munson Medical Center, The Watershed Center and the Grand Traverse Conservation District to restore the creek on Munson's campus north of Sixth Street to a more natural state and remove it from the Michigan DEQ's impaired waters list. Consumers Energy Foundation, the EPA's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Program, Great Lakes Fishery Trust, and Rotary Charities of Traverse City all have contributed funding for this effort.
Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation President Desiree Worthington said the donation is significant not only in terms of dollars but also for its intent.
"Company officials have told us that they hope Munson's project will inspire other communities in the state and beyond to daylight their creeks. They appreciate the positive impact this will have on the environment" she said. "We are thankful for their generosity and endorsement of Munson's environmental stewardship and desire to be a good neighbor as we prepare the way for the Cowell Family Cancer Center."
Consumers Energy officials recently visited the hospital to see the project first hand.
"Efforts such as the Kid's Creek naturalization project show the community's commitment to environmental stewardship," said David G. Mengebier, president of the Consumers Energy Foundation and a senior vice president for Consumers Energy. "Our foundation is pleased to support this collaborative partnership which enhances public access and enjoyment of the creek and improves its fish habitat. Caring for the communities we serve is part of our Promise to Michigan, its citizens and our customers. This project helps reinforce that Promise."
Munson Medical Center Vice President of Facilities Steve Tongue said the creek restoration project remains on schedule. Two new bridge spans have been installed on Sixth Street and Beaumont Place, the new river bed has been dug out, and many trees and shrubs are being planted along the future bed of the creek. Plans call for the creek to be diverted into the new river bed this fall.
"This construction is replacing 900 feet of underground culvert and channelized ditches with an above-ground meandering channel. We will also eliminate 73,000 square feet of paved area and establish a 27,000-square-foot floodplain," Tongue said.

Master of Science in Health Informatics
Health Informatics is the science that defines how health information is technically captured, transmitted, and utilized.
Health Informatics consists of three major facets or domains: Information Systems, Informatics, and Information Technology.
- Information Systems curriculum components focus on such issues as information systems analysis, design, implementation, management and leadership.
- Informatics curriculum components are concerned with the study of structure, function and transfer of information, socio-technical aspects of health computing, and human-computer interaction.
- Information Technology curriculum components focus on computer networks, database and systems administration, security, and programming.
There is a huge demand for Health Informatics professionals. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that Health Information Management and Health Informatics employment will grow nearly 18% by 2016; they further project a need of more than 6,000 new professionals each year through 2014 alone. It is expected that as the field develops due to health-related initiatives and mandates that the federal government established in 2009, the need for Health Informatics professionals will continue to grow at an even faster rate.
The Master of Science in Health Informatics is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). Currently, it is one of three nationally accredited programs in the United States. It is also the only accredited, graduate-level program in Health Informatics within the state of West Virginia.

The 2010 world cup was ruined for me by that slippery bastard Paul.
I watched both versions of "Hooked on Classics." How did you manage to compress an entire year's worth of community band/orchestra repertoire into a mere seven minutes ? Some of the transitions were really funny (Chariots of Fire into the William Tell Overture, for one).

Thank you Cher O, Puma, MT and all that have come before. I feel so priviledged to have written this. Everytime I read it, something is spawned in me. It is as if I am ever becoming. I have a vision of a ballerina in a misty blue haze twirling ever so gently around with a delicate smile upon her face as if she is the dream come to life and she so knows it.
Will be looking forward to your lovely thoughts Cher O. And thank you again Puma for the beautiful reminder.
Love, Deb

In the Hands of a Sculptor
Bringing this to the surface again for my son to read. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
(by Deb Abbott)
In the hands of a sculptor, she began to grow
Into the woman she had always known
Lay just beneath the surface of her exterior
Waiting, impatiently, for the touch that would free her.
The first time he saw her, his eyes probed within
Seeing only what was to be and not what had already been.
Gently, he made his way towards her being
Anxious to unveil what he was truly seeing.
Amused, yet delighted, she let him browse within
But, just enough, to let her know he'd come back again.
Respect had already grown between the two, you see,
For one to know, the other to see, was all that needed to be.
Her medium, a little cracked and dried, was not quite ready.
So, she prepared it for him, giving time for his hands to steady.
Then he heard her silent voice whisper from within, "Come to me."
A look of appreciation filled his eyes as he reached out to touch what was yet to be.
She felt his thumb slide down what would be the contour of her face.
And, she was pulled, ever so gently, from a place somewhere beyond time and space.
Yet pliable she allowed herself to be.
Offering for him to find what, as of yet, she could not see.
His hand moved slowly but with a resonant beat
As his fingers dug into her, exposing a gentle heat.
He allowed her to create her own form.
As she came to life unbridled and untorn.
Gently smoothing her rough edges, he began to see
The image in his mind come to be.
The soft gentle merging of the essence of her soul
Spoke of a living story that was yet to be told.
She caught the scent of him that first day when he formed her nose.
She likened the smell to a spring day when the wind gently blows.
She began to hear when his fingers traced out her ears.
His soft rhythmic breathing erased any and all unfelt fears.
As he stroked her with his affection
She found herself releasing all of her defections.
And what became beneath his hands
Was more than either could have ever planned.
As his thumbs pressed out the molds for her eyes
She wept the tears of angels dripping from the skies.
The windows of her soul were to be revealed
Never again would their living waters be concealed.
His touch became especially tender
Wherewith her lips he began to render.
He paused, as if in a trance
As her lips, along his finger, began to dance.
His fingers spread as his hands caressed her cheeks
He felt her energy, so strong and yet so meek.
He felt himself resting his lips upon her own.
And he thought he heard a delightful little moan.
He felt arms encircle him that were not of his creation.
And a body formed out of the haze with perfect animation.
She became then, all that he wanted her to be.
And through his touch, she became more than what she could ever see.
He lifted her gently from her pedestal, twirling her about the room
She giggled ever so lightly just having come from her tomb.
With eternity resting in her eyes, she gave him the vision to truly see,
In the hands of a sculptor, it was his touch that set her free.
In search of light!
Love, Deb
Life is Good!

A key mission component of the New Jersey Academy for Aquatic Sciences is to provide educational and economic opportunity to residents in Camden, New Jersey. The Academy developed the Community and Urban Science Enrichment (CAUSE) program to address that part of its mission.
Program Success
CAUSE trains high school youth in marine science and biology to prepare them as interns at the Academy. Each year, 30 to 35 interns serve as educators in the New Jersey Aquarium, mentor eighth-graders through after-school programs, and guide summer campers.
Over the last 17 years, 150 teenagers have interned in the CAUSE program, all graduating from high school (local drop-out rates exceed 50 percent). Many interns stay at the Academy through their high school years, working as many as three to four days after school and up to 35 hours per week in the summer. All interns leave with enhanced self-esteem and widened horizons. In the last four years, 100 percent of CAUSE participants have enrolled in college.
Through this program, the interns have connected with 3,247 disadvantaged youths to date.
Foundation Support
Subaru of America Foundation has made contributions to the CAUSE program, helping it to be successful. Because the program is comprehensive and offers a complete approach to creating personal success, private and corporate funding is essential for it to function.
Angela Wenger, executive V.P. and C.O.O. of the New Jersey Academy of Aquatic Sciences, "Generous support, like that from our long-time partner Subaru Foundation, allows the Academy to not only provide rigorous science training, personal and life-skill building workshops, and 21st-century work skills, but paid, meaningful work that provides economic support and a sense of self-confidence and competence."
For more information on the New Jersey Academy of Aquatic Sciences and the CAUSE program, go to www.njaas.org.

Should Romney give more to Uncle Sam?
The presidential candidate's tax avoidance strategy may be immoral, but it's not illegal.
The Internal Revenue Service estimates that about $5 trillion in assets are held worldwide in tax havens, which costs Uncle Sam about $100 billion in revenue annually. Romney, like most rich people, takes advantage of scads of loopholes that are not available to most folks. But at least he pays taxes. More than 10,000 American households earning more than $200,000 in 2009 paid no taxes at all. U.S. corporations avoid billions more through loopholes, some with names that sound like Elmore Leonard novels, such as "Double Irish With A Dutch Sandwich."
Though the Times points out that Romney failed to disclose a $3 million Swiss bank account, that is less of a big deal than it sounds. The IRS requirements for revealing foreign bank accounts are so confusing that the agency has given three amnesties since 2009 to enable taxpayers to come into compliance. These efforts have netted the IRS more than $4 billion.
For one thing, people generally don't invest solely to create jobs. Employment is a byproduct of the process. Remember, one of the ways that the rich are different is that they can easily afford to pay higher taxes. Many either pay a low tax rate on a large percentage of their income because it comes from dividends or pay no taxes at all because their money is parked in tax havens or tax-free investments, such as municipal bonds. If taxes are cut on the wealthy, more money will flow into their bank accounts. Given that companies learned to do more with less as the economy tanked, it's highly unlikely that a significant amount of money will trickle down much further.
NO, because I think he is following the law and doing everything legally. The question should be, do I think the tax code needs to be corrected? The answer is YES! However, I am one that studies the code and will take full advantage of anything that will lower my tax bill legally. I have never put money in a CD because of the tax code. All of my money, with the exception of an emergency fund, goes into qualifying dividend paying stocks. Because of the tax code my income from qualified dividends is taxed at the 15% rate where income from CD's would be taxed at 25%. Also my average dividend rate for 2011 was 5.82% and average CD rates were about 1.5%. Folks it is called financial planning.
Why is the news media so interested in Romney paying more tax? Shouldn't they be more interested in Warren Buffett paying all his back taxes? Google "Buffett owes back tax" and you will see why he is such an Obama supporter. Could it be that he supports Obama so The President will call off the IRS?
Do you really think that Congress, out of it's good-heart, will press for tax reform to help the middle class? I don't - except for Bernie Sanders who always fights for the middle class. We need to get Big Money influence out of government!!!
Lets talk about corporate welfare, shall we? G.E. in 2010 had a profit of $14.1 BILLION. (5.1 Billion from US operations) Taxes paid? 0. Tax credit $3.2 Billion. Lobby money? 2.7 Million. I won't even go into the failed companies that recieved green fund capital.
Funny, the left doesn't mention this kind of corporate welfare. BTW, to top it all off, according to GE's own records and statements, it had 125,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs in 2000 compared to 50,000 in 2010. ...the companies touting themselves as champions of the factory worker (General Electric) or being touted by the president (Master Lock) are dubious poster children for an American manufacturing renaissance. GE has brought back a little work from overseas, and they have hired back a small percentage of the workers they laid off over the past decade at their American factories. But GE has also recently closed more than 20 factories, shifted avionics and radiology businesses to China, and pushed for public policies that will allow them to continue that course. And Obama's choice for the Jobs Council is GE's own Jeffrey Immelt. Nice!
Everyone has the right to reduce their taxes as much as possible as long as it is legal. You have no obligation to pay more than the laws say.
Don't begrudge someone because they have done well in life. Given the same chance in life, most would do the same things. (btw, I am not in the 1%. ;)

Great location, helpful staff, in a historical building
The water pressure in the shower was weak (perhaps because the hotel is in a historical building)
Everything! The only slight downside was that the wifi was a little temperamental. Otherwise perfect!
Nothing. Great hotel!
Very quiet. The room would be a bit small for a couple but adequate for one person. The room could use some updating but everything functioned as required.
As a business traveler I would not recommend if wireless internet was a must. It barely worked in the room.
Location and comfort of a small elegant hotel
only negative would be the small size of tv
Great location
Small bed
Excellent staff handled any concerns. Great central location to all the hotspots. Had an awesome river view and everything was very accommodating.
Finding the hotel was a bit of a bear. Also, by the time we arrived, about 6pm, the on site parking garage was filled and only allowing monthly parking passes in. Not a terrible inconvenience with the amount of garages in the area, just figured since we had a room there parking would be available
The restaurant was quite good and the prices were excellent for the location on the river front.
It was very clean and well furnished
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO VIA CAB. literally spent an hour in an uber going in circles. Room was also VERY small for the price.
After reading mixed reviews we went in with little expectation. We were floored by the service of the front desk managers especially Pedro. The room was fantastic close to the heart of it all within walking distance to transit and great breakfast cafe right next to the hotel if you're traveling on a budget like we were. The perfect weekend away. We are hoping to make this our go to hotel when we return to chicago. The water stations on every floor were by far my favourite added plus.
Excellent location. Walking distance to Michigan Ave sights. Enjoyed water and in room Keurig. Friendly front desk staff
Carpet needs cleaning and/or updating
Everytime i stay at this hotel i get the river view which is really nice!
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location is perfect if you're going to the pier or to a football game. It's beautiful inside and out and seemed very clean to me. They also have free water bottles and wifi witch I thought were very classy touches. I will definitely stay there again should I return to Chicago and will recommend to all my friends.
I honestly can't think of a complaint, I was very satisfied with my stay.
You can't beat the location of this hotel. It's right in the heart of all things Chicago and it's easy to walk to everything or a cab is a cheap ride away. The staff are amazing, friendly and accommodating.
The Wifi sucks. Bottom line.
Expensive Didnt get what we booked Shower didnt work
The location was great, friendly doormen, secure elevator, and the desk clerk Pedro was extremely helpful each morning looking up directions and going the extra mile. I had a photo taken with him so I remember his smiling face.
There isn't anything I liked it all.
We really like your front desk staff especially Tanya and I forget the other gentlemans name.
The only downfall was the fact that we had to wait 1 hr later than regualr check in becasue the room was not ready.But they gave me a very nice room 3802,What a view!!!
Location, comfy room.
Staff was good not great. When we asked about the complementary beverage and snacks they told us there are only beverages. So we headed to near by coffee every day. On the last day however, we found out that there is free snacks also. Elevators are really slow .Too much time to get one
Loved everything about the place. Really good room with a place to put luggage and plenty of space. The building is quite special and the location across the road from the river is fantastic. We don't always eat at hotel restaurants but found Bacino very good and ate there often. A bonus was the characterful history of the building.
Free wifi in the room. Nicely furnished, albeit small rooms. Free coffee and light continental breakfast. Free distilled water, refillable. LOCATION!
Room was pretty small, but had everything one would need.
Location excellent. Travelling as a party of three got two rooms next to each other which was good. Free water on every floor and visitors lounge great.
Full cost of holiday taken in two amounts from my credit card very confusing. Taxes etc not included in total price I got from Booking.com
Maid service was very good. I had a very good maid. Bottled water free! free use of a computer for internet access. Staff was very nice. Very comfortable bed. Nice and quiet.
TV did not work right could not even get NBC. The Door to my room was very difficult to open No ironing board in my room. A bit expensive for such a small room. I have paid less for a large one at the Hilton
Everything about our stay was enjoyable. Views were amazing as well as the great staff.

Hallelujia! We'll now have another "Reform!" law — this one designed to "reform" our "financial services" industry to prevent any further meltdowns such as that which struck in 2008 and continues to cripple segments of our economy two years later. The president himself could hardly contain his hyperbole in describing the legislation he is today set to sign into law; he calls it "innovative" and "creative." Yet, lurking within its hundreds of pages of fine print, are provisions that will essentially destroy what little financial privacy remains for virtually every consumer of financial services in the country. In that respect, yes, the legislation certainly is "creative"; but that is one kind of creativity we can do without.
But it's really too late. Thanks to this financial services "reform" law, federal bureaucrats will have ready access to virtually every financial transaction that will take place in the country — from the largest bank acquisition to the smallest ATM withdrawal. The guise under which federal regulators will be able to gather and data-base such detailed financial transaction information will be the responsibility given them in this new law to ensure that every "financial product or service" is "fair, transparent and competitive." And, of course, the reasoning goes, in order for the government to figure out if the system is running "fairly, transparently and competitively," it has to be able to monitor all the myriad services and transactions which banks and other financial services entities offer.
Does it give you a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that your private financial transactions will be collected by a new "Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection?" Are your fears about the government being able to data-base all such information allayed because the law includes language purporting to prohibit the government from gathering certain financial records if its purpose for collecting the data on individuals' financial transactions is specifically to "gather" or "analyze" "personally identifiable financial information of consumers?" Such language may give the impression that the masses of financial information now authorized to be collected and data-based by the government will be "privacy-protected"; but the reality is that such language, offered by Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) in a last-minute attempt to protect consumers from just this threat, is little more than a fig leaf.
The bottom line here is that behind this facade of "financial service reform" is perhaps the single biggest threat to an individual citizen's financial privacy since the birth of the IRS.

Good morning all. Given that our economy is roaring too strongly, surely we can all agree that Congress has done the right thing by adding additional constraints to the life force of private enterprise, the capital funding mechanism. Change we can believe in.
July 21st, 2010

I'm in agreement . . . I fail to see any consumer financial protection in this new law. No telling how all this data will be used years from now! What we really could benefit from, instead, are stronger protections around identity theft and rogue credit reporting practices. But no one in our government ever asked me what I need . . . they just act on their own, while I get to read about it after-the-fact.

Well, it was pretty far from unanimous, the vote in the senate was 59-39 so you must have some elected officials concurring with your position. Also, what I read was that merchants that extend credit direct to consumer, that information would be exempt. None the less, once the government has access to all financial information, that covers it all. Where money is involved, that is the whole nine yards, there are no secrets. Everything is transparent now,

You think this Financial Reform Bill is bad? We don't yet know the details. Look at what we've learned over the past two months about ObamaCare. It will cost at least $300 Billion more than estimated, it will restrict access to Doctors, it will increase premiums, AND NOW THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS DEFENDING IT AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENTS BY SAYING IT IS A "TAX". Didn't the President say it WASN'T A TAX? I can hardly curb my enthusiasm for Cap and Tax, one more part of our Freedom and Free Market Economy the Obama Admin and Democrats will be attempting to take over. Let's see…Financial Reform which allows the Sec of Treasury to seize what HE/SHE perceives as a risky company, that includes Insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate, Met Life; Federal Control of Health Care; the Auto industry where companies are Gov't owned and the Gov't decided who could and could not retain their dealerships; the Mortgage Business with Freddy and Fannie. What's left? The Energy Industry, Home Building? They are next with Cap and Trade. Want to sell your home? With Cap and Trade you will need to have an Energy Audit conducted or you can't sell it. Want to add-on to your home? Can't do so until the Feds sign off, or decline, based on the energy consumption. Want to build a swimming pool? Wait, it uses electricity, can't be permitted until the U S Dept of Energy approves the plans. Don't believe me? Read the Bill passed by the U S House of Representatives, it's all right there.

I can't wait until November to deal with these Democrats. It will be interesting how former Governor Barnes walks the tightrope between kissing the President and the unhappiness with the President that the majority of voters in the state feel very strongly in his campaign!

Since Ronald Reagan's Republican Revolution of Voodoo Economics and Religious Intolerance where the top 5% of Americans got their taxes cut in half and our National Debt went from 1 Trillion to 10 Trillion after George W. Bush got done with us and another tax cut for the rich that concluded with a destroyed economy,
Republicans have led us down a path believing that "Economic Freedom is tax cuts for the rich that will trickle down to the middle class." But it hasn't worked out that way.
If we take a look at what has worked in America's past, the 70% to 90% tax rates on the top income level, and targeted tariffs protecting American Jobs, gave us the Greatest Middle Class in our history.
Ironically, the same people who want walls and armies on our borders protecting us from poor Mexican laborers are subsidizing foreign oil companies that pollute our beaches and are subsidizing good paying American jobs to be shipped overseas.
Do the Republicans really expect Americans to have money in their pockets to create jobs by their spending when they can't even afford to pay their house payment competing with wages in China?
It is not the wealthy who create jobs, it is consumer spending. And the top 1% who make 23% of all the wealth in this country just aren't spending enough of it to sustain a good economy. Wealth does not trickle down from tax cuts, in fact, the wealth evaporates when the economy crashes.
Teddy Roosevelt had raised the top tax rate to 80% while breaking up the Robber Barons and regulating the banks – before three Republican administrations from Harding, Coolidge, to Hoover cut the taxes on the rich, deregulated the banks, and eventually destroyed our economy in 1929. It was under Teddy Roosevelt that America became a super-power among nations.
If we learn from History we see that tax cuts for the rich do not stimulate a long term economy. The rich take their tax cut and buy the National Debt it creates – then they make interest on the debt that was created with the tax cut compounding the debt problem.
What stimulates a long term economy is consumer spending, a strong middle class. As Franklyn Roosevelt said, "Economic Freedom is money in your pockets."
Before the tax cuts, to avoid paying those taxes, the rich would reinvest their wealth into their business and that created American jobs due to tariffs that prevented the rich from shipping those jobs overseas to avoid paying those taxes.
The Republicans social policy is bigotry and their economic policy is feudalism so why does anyone give them any credibility at all?
The Republicans economic policy is not America First, it is the Multi-National Corporations first.
Republicans have no allegiance to this country, only to Multi-National corporate wealth that demands less and less government that protects human rights and a middle class.
Government not only can create jobs, protect human rights and the environment. Government is the only institution that can create a Middle Class with tax policy and check the over reaching and self destructive powers of the corporation and intolerant religion.

All I can say is that thank God that we have some ways to maintain our privacy. Sure, our (non-cash) financial transactions are all tracked by banks and those will now be monitored by the government but let us not forget that this is not the only privacy we must be concerned about.
You are concerned that Big Government or Big Banks know everything about you but how many people leave their unencrypted email on Google's or Microsoft's or Yahoo's servers (can I call them Big Email?)? How many people actually take the time to use privacy apps like TrulyMail, PGP, and TrueCrypt to actually maintain their privacy?
While it is true we cannot control everything but we can control some things. Those things we can control, we should control.
Of course, we can control the government… but not enough of us choose to do so.

In view of the $22 trillion meltdown caused by unregulated private financial enterprise, the need for regulation is indicated. Whether this particular 1000-page law is all that's needed is open to analysis.
The best way to regulate financial transactions is by rationalizing the tax code, not by creating regulatory agencies. Gains from real investments in American commerce and industry should be taxed at half the rate of ordinary income. Gains from short-term investments, and from highly leveraged, purely speculative exotic financial instruments should be taxed at double the rate of ordinary income.
We have hundreds of casinos and scores of state lotteries for those who want to gamble. Let's stop corrupting capital investment with games of chance.

City Style: Neighborhood Watch
One-of-a-kind boutiques and haute restaurants are helping to rejuvenate Charlestown's historic streets. From breakfast on Monument Avenue to browsing for antiques on Main Street, plan a stroll through this 'hood for a look at its dramatic past and burgeoning present.
>>9:00 A.M. Charlestown may be small—just one square mile—but walking its streets requires some serious stamina, so make your first stop Sorelle bakery and café (One Monument Ave., 617-242-2125). Belly up to the counter for a mouth-watering bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, a homemade lemon-blueberry muffin, and a chat with the café's amiable flock of faithful regulars.
>>11:00 A.M. Next, take time to explore your colonial heritage. Climb the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument's staircase and be rewarded with a bird's-eye view of Boston. Duck inside the adjacent Bunker Hill Lodge, where models depict epic American Revolution battles (617-242-5641). Later, visit the Navy Yard for a tour of "Old Ironsides," the 208-year-old Navy ship USS Constitution (617-242-5671).
>>1:30 P.M. Sore and starved? Check out Charlestown's contemporary revolution: one marked by an explosion of eateries. Soak in the city skyline at the newly overhauled Tavern on the Water while munching on fire-roasted oysters and lobster ravioli (One Pier 6, on Eighth Street, 617-242-8040). Or head to resident favorite Chow Thai Café, a friendly spot that whips up a rainbow of curry dishes (187 Main St., 617-242-5232).
>>3:00 P.M. Far from Newbury Street, browsers dig for hidden treasures in just a handful of retail shops. At Bunker Hill Relics, a store crammed with mostly pre-1900 wares, pick up porcelain vases, oil paintings, and antique clocks (207 Main St., 617-666-1779). Nearby, the Joy of Old is an emporium of vintage gems, jewelry, and crafts such as barrettes and candles. (85 Warren St., 617-242-6066).
>>7:00 P.M. After all this Americana, sample the area's foreign flair with triple-layered tuna tartare and red snapper tagra at the colorfully seductive, Moroccan-themed Tangierino (83 Main St., 617-242-6009). Or head to stylish Greek eatery Mezé Estiatorio and pair one of the many Greek wines with spanakopita and oregano-dusted wood-grilled lamb chops (100 City Square, 617-242-6393).
>>9:00 P.M. What's more historic than knocking back a pint where Paul Revere and Washington once did? Finish up the day at the low-ceilinged Warren Tavern, one of the country's oldest watering holes that still creates a stir with live music on Wednesday and Thursday nights (2 Pleasant St., 617-241-8142). Or slip onto a barstool, order a draft, and toast with the locals at Sullivan's Pub (85 Main St., 617-242-9515).

Size: 44,804 acres
Location: San Bernardino County; 50 miles northeast of Baker, California (Note: Boundary set backs from roads or trails are 30 to 300 feet)
Area Description :
The 48,314-acre (approximate) Mesquite Wilderness consists of portions of the Mesquite Mountains, Mesquite Valley, and the Clark Mountain Range. The Mesquite Mountains have more gradual rising slopes than the rough and rocky Clark Mountain Range. Numerous small caves are found in the porous rock of the Clark Mountains. Dominant vegetation ranges from the creosote brush sage association on the bajadas to blackbrush, Joshua trees, and pinyon-juniper at the higher elevations. Barrel cactus gardens are also found in some locations. Wildlife is typical for the Mojave Desert; including a large herd of bighorn sheep, coyote, black-tailed jackrabbits, ground squirrels, kangaroo rats, quail, red-tailed hawks, prairie falcons, golden eagles, roadrunners, rattlesnakes, and several species of lizards. The southwestern corner of the wilderness provides critical habitat for the desert tortoise.
Getting There : To access the southwestern corner of the wilderness, take the Cima Road exit from interstate 15 (26 miles east of Baker) and travel north for approximately 7 miles on the paved Excelsior Mime Road. The boundary is 500 feet northeast of the centerline of the road for the next 3 miles. The Kingston Road, bearing right from the Excelsior Mine Road, forms the northern boundary of the wilderness.
Nonfederal Lands: Private lands may lie within the wilderness area. Please respect the landowner and do not use these lands without permission.
Additional Information :
Area Management
Permits are required for commercial or organized activities.
Recreational Opportunities
Hiking, horseback riding, hunting, camping, rock hounding, photography, and backpacking are examples of activities that can be enjoyed in this wilderness.
Climate and Special Equipment Needs
Temperatures are fairly mild in the early spring, late fall, and winter; generally 30-80°F. Summer temperatures are extremely hot. Temperatures are commonly over 115°F and can get well over 120°F. Always carry water; desert springs are not reliable water sources.
Signs indicating "Wilderness" and "Closed Road" or "Closed Route" are placed at various intervals. Vehicles can be parked outside the wilderness boundary; however, the boundary is set back 30 feet from unmaintained dirt roads and 300 feet on paved roads.
Mechanized or motorized vehicles are NOT PERMITTED in a wilderness.
Hunting, fishing, and non-commercial trapping are allowed under state and local laws.
Pet are allowed, but please keep your pets under control at all times.
Horses are permitted, however you may be required to carry feed.
Removal, disturbance, or attempting to remove archaelogical materials is a felony. Selling, receiving, purchasing, transporting, exchanging or offering to do so is prohibited by law.
CAMPING: Camping is permitted, limited to 14 days. After 14 days, campers must relocate at least 25 miles from previous site.
Help BLM preserve California's fragile deserts. Please park your vehicle or set up camp in previously disturbed sites.
Gathering wood for campfires, when permitted, is limited to dead and down materials. Do not cut live vegetation.

I fall into your 2nd category. I quit wow and now I'm about to make a return because I can't stand and watch my friends play without remembering how much I LOVED healing. I love being resto because of how the difference it makes. Take 8 versus 15: The odds are low but when it's a race against the clock, healing my ass off can allow that my team to put up a helluva fight and thus slow the progress of the other. I enjoy healing. Watching the mayhem around me... tabbing to target the enemy to see which team mate of mine they're trying to down first. Focus heal and chain heal off of that team member... it's just fun.
Furthermore, I like the internal debate with myself; Is it "without me they die" or "without them I die"? Knowing how the dps continues because of heals and the other way around helps me visualize the relationship I have with the battlefield whether I like my team mates or not.
I just wanted to throw that out there.

Cellfood MultiVitamin Formula utilizes another extremely advanced and unique technology: a new laser process for nutrient enhancement that can be used to restore molecules to a shape the body can use more efficiently resulting in greater bioavailability. Even very pure manufactured nutritional supplements are often subject to processes that can cause numerous random distortions of nutrient shape. Enzymes are highly shape-sensitive in order to 'fit' with other nutrients. When the body receives a nutrient in a wide range of random shapes, some will fit and many others will not. The nutrients that don't fit will either be excreted or broken down into useless compounds. This remarkable laser technology has the ability to restore molecules to their optimum nutritional shape. The net effect of resonant laser stimulation is molecules that are consistent in shape the optimum shape from molecule to molecule.Milligram for milligram, cells that are fed laser-treated nutrients have produced statistically significantly more of the biologically desirable internal factors than those fed normal nutrients. The laser technology used to enhance Cellfood MultiVitamin 100% RDA Formula Spray is the most powerful method of reshaping and restoring nutrients for enhanced absorption and assimilation ever developed.Finally, Cellfood MultiVitamin 100% RDA Formula contains the original Cellfood formula with 78 trace minerals & elements, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids and electrolytes.

Are you afraid of Iran yet? Shrill warnings of war or imminent apocalypse over Iran's nuclear program have never been so strident, or so ominous.
A window is closing fast, the narrative goes, to prevent a fanatical and suicidal religious regime from acquiring the ultimate tools of Armageddon: nuclear weapons. Within months, some politicians claim, either Israel, the United States, or both may have no choice but to attack Iran to remove this "existential threat" to the Jewish state.
The world is facing another Hitler, declares Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and this moment of decision is akin to the eve of World War II. Iran is a threat to Israel and "a real danger to humanity as a whole," warns Israeli President Shimon Peres.
The tone on the US presidential campaign trail is no less dire. GOP hopeful Rick Santorum recently told a crowd that if Iran gets nuclear weapons, "let me assure you, you will not be safe, even here in Missouri." One of his opponents, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, claims an Iranian strike on the US is "a real danger" that would make the 9/11 attacks look small. "Now imagine an attack where you add two zeros, and it's 300,000 dead," he said in early February. "This is not science fiction."
Yet it is also far from likely – even if Iran were to build a nuclear arsenal. In fact, say analysts and nonproliferation experts who have studied the effect of the bomb on countries, coexisting with a nuclear-armed Iran – or at least a nuclear-capable Iran – may well be possible, even inevitable, whether a military strike delays that outcome or not.

There appears to be no end in sight to the sweltering heat wave this summer. Mike Jones is Omaha Public Power District's spokesman and he says the utility is asking customers conserve as much electricity as possible to both reduce usage and save on their energy bills.
OPPD reports the peak usage hours are between 3 pm and 8 pm and reducing energy during that time period is extremely helpful. Jones says there are very easy ways to save on your energy bill and still stay cool.
OPPD recommends:
- Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible. One-degree can save 3 to 5-percent on energy.
- Keep window shades and blinds closed to block direct sunlight.
- Clean or change your system's air filter monthly to save energy and help prevent system failure.
- Use ceiling fans to enable you to raise your thermostat about 4-degrees with no reduction in comfort.
- Turn off fans when you leave the room. Fans coop people, not rooms, by creating a wind chill effect.
- Delay dishwashing or laundry until after 8 pm and restrict use of heat producing appliances, such as ovens, until later in the day.
- Unplug appliances and shut off lights that are not in use.
- Shower early in the morning or later in the evening.
OPPD serves more than 360,000 customers in 13 counties in Nebraska. OPPD reports they do have adequate generation to meet demands however that could be affected by disruptions in the transmission and distribution system locally or in other parts of the Midwest.

Police say that three armed men wearing ski masks knocked on the door of the home and when a woman peaked through the door crack they made their way into the apartment.
The three men then tied up the six people inside the apartment including a twelve year old boy and his mother and father.
The men demanded money and drugs. After searching the house the men found a small amount of drug and money. They also took a cell phone and a laptop from the residence.
During the ordeal one man was struck in the head. He suffered minor injuries.
Police believe that the incident was targeted and are currently searching for the suspects.

Hotels go high-tech to stop towel thieves
Hotels, facing higher replacement costs as cotton prices rise, have turned to RFID chips to track the theft of linens.
Those big hotel towels are so soft, so absorbent -- they're like Bounty on steroids. No wonder you're tempted to take one home when you check out.
Be forewarned that when you and your pilfered towel walk out the lobby door, an alarm may go off somewhere.
At least three U.S. hotels are using radio frequency identification chips sewn into the fabric to track their towels, bathrobes and sheets.
One reason is better management of inventory. But there's also the human factor:
Hotel guests steal a lot of towels.
A Honolulu hotel that uses RFID chips to track linens saw the theft of pool towels drop from 4,000 a month to only 750, The New York Times reports, reducing replacement costs by $16,000 monthly. William Serbin, executive vice president of Linen Technology Tracking, which makes the chips, said the theft rate for hotel linens and robes is 5% to 20% a month.
According to a 2004 survey by Orbitz, 18% of hotel guests admitted taking towels. Only 2% took bathrobes or bathmats. (Bathmats?)
Replacing these items has gotten much more expensive because the price of cotton has jumped 150% since August. It's so high that clothing manufacturers are incorporating more synthetics into fabric, raising prices -- look for increases of 10% to 20% for cotton apparel this year -- or using less of it.
- Calculator: Is your budget in balance?
"Aeropostale is reducing the size of tags in garments, saving five cents on each piece of clothing," Justin Rohrlich wrote at Minyannville.
What's behind the new price of cotton? The Boston Globe explained:
The apparel industry was hurt after poor weather hurt cotton crops in China and Pakistan over the past several years and speculators then cornered the market. Demand far outstripped supply, and prices skyrocketed. Cotton hit a record high of $2.44 per pound on March 8: last year, cotton averaged about 77 cents a pound.
Before RFID technology was available, hotels had no simple solutions for stopping the theft of towels and other linens. Put your crest or logo on the towel, and those who wanted a memento of their special trip would swipe them. Leave the logo off, and they're a tempting target for those who are too cheap to buy their own towels. Count the towels and bill the guest's credit card? That can lead to a hassle.
What possesses people to steal hotel towels and other linens? Would the possibility that an RFID chip lurks within be a deterrent?
More on MSN Money:
It would be hilarious if the towel, pillow and blanket thieves took home a nice load of bedbugs!
Before I checked out of a birthing center, a nurse came in to tell us which items were gifts from the hospital and what was not included. She said that they had caught people stuffing their bags with bedding, pictures, wall clocks and anything else that wasn't nailed down. They had even tried to take the bassinet. They asked her "What is my baby supposed to sleep in at home?"
I worked in a residential retirement facility where friends and family would regularly come in and steal towels and sheets. Gross and embarrassing.
It seems that when cheap, low-class people go to nice places, they don't know how to behave themselves.
i work at a hotel and im sick and tired of you stupid cheap people like Lexip....you cost us more than you imagine, youre a burden to a hotel like ours instead of a benefit. our rooms range around $40 night, they have microwave, fridge, hot tub/pool, breakfast and internet at no extra charge, we put PLENTY of clean nice fresh white towels in the rooms, 4 large ones, 2 mediums, 2 minis and a foot matt......too much for one room, most hotels only put TWO large ones and maybe 1 foot one. yet, some guests are so cheap, demanding, have this superiority complex! they demand more towels, blankets, coffee, etc. at no extra charge...what other hotel does this??? ive stayed at places that charge $150+ a night with no fridge, micro, internet, and breakfast, charged extra for extra everything and did not complain!
stupid cheap people like lexip who force hotels to drive prices up. please stay at home, do not come to our hotel! and i wish stupid cheap people would STOP STEALING OUR TOWELS, its a big burden on the hotel!

Four north suburban men who unsuccessfully tried to rob a pizza parlor employee twice, then failed to rob a second victim but shot up a house in the process, are behind bars Tuesday.
A man who works for a Waukegan pizza parlor said he was attempting to drop the night's bank deposit bag off at a bank in the 1800 block of Belvidere Road on Feb. 4 when he was approached by a group of men who tried to rob him at gunpoint, according to Waukegan police.
The man, who was still in his car at the time, was able to drive away from the suspects after they demanded the cash, a statement from police said.
He called police, saying he believed it was the same men who had tried to rob him at gunpoint two nights earlier as he tried to drop the cash bag off at the same bank, according to police.
After the first man drove away from the suspects in the late evening hours of Feb. 4, they approached a second potential victim, who was also in his car when the men demanded money at gunpoint, according to police.
The second intended victim also drove away from the men, but one of them, allegedly DeShawn Boyd, fire at least two shots at vehicle, though neither the driver nor the car was hit, police said.
Two houses in the area were hit by gunshots, but there was only minor damage and no one inside the homes was injured, police said.
The four suspects then drove away, but a Waukegan police officer spotted their vehicle in the 2400 block of Dugdale Road shortly after the second incident, police said.
The car was pulled over and all four suspects were arrested. Police also found a handgun and two BB guns in the vehicle.
Boyd, 19, of the 200 block of Station Park Circle in Grayslake, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and attempted armed robbery for the Feb. 2 incident, and attempted armed robbery (2 counts), unlawful possession of a weapon, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and reckless discharge of a firearm for the Feb. 4 incidents, police said. He is being held in the Lake County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
Also charged in both incidents was Quentin Johnson, 21, of the 2400 block of Dugdale Road in Waukegan, police said. He faces charges of attempted armed robbery (2 counts), and attempted aggravated robbery and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
Also charged in the Feb. 4 incident were Devonte Henry, 21, of the 2400 block of Dugdale Road in Waukegan; and Steven Nowell, 23, of the 400 block of Windridge in Round Lake Park. Both are charged with attempted armed robbery and attempted aggravated robbery, and are being held on $100,000 bonds.
Johnson is scheduled to be back in court in Waukegan on Feb. 13, while Henry, Boyd and Nowell are next due on Feb. 27.

Palais des Papes
Avignon, France
Held seven times since its inception in 1995, the Symposium is now
making its first appearance in France. The Symposium is refereed, and
all the contributions to the symposium will be archived on a free open
website. They will also be recorded on a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM given to
participants, and a selection of papers will be published in the Journal of
Symbolic Computation and The
Mathematica Journal.
In 2006 it will be held in the prestigious setting of the Palais des
Papes in Avignon, France. The Symposium will run from June
19-23. Special rates have been negotiated with local hotels for
