Do no harm
Green products are great, but not necessarily how they're made. John Warner - a founding father of the "green chemistry" movement - seeks a world where the chemicals we use to manufacture things do little or no harm in the first place
Books have the power to change how we think and behave. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for evolutionary biology 153 years ago. In 1962, the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson sparked the modern-day environmental movement. And in a more focused way, 1998's The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry by co-authors by John Warner and Paul Anastas gave momentum to the idea that the chemicals we rely on for manufacturing "stuff" don't have to be toxic cocktails that threaten our health and environment.
Anastas, who first coined the term "green chemistry" in 1991, was at the time a staff chemist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Warner was an industrial chemist at Polaroid trying to get regulatory approval for a new low-impact chemical manufacturing process the EPA didn't really understand. The two men found themselves allies in an effort to push a concept that was largely foreign to the teachings of chemistry: to make materials in an environmentally benign and responsible way, rather than tolerate harmful side effects.
Warner is now president and chief technology officer at the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, an organization he founded in 2007 that is "dedicated to the development of non-toxic, environmentally benign and sustainable technological solutions for society." Corporate Knights had an opportunity to chat with Warner about the field of green chemistry and why it's so important.
CK: You are often referred to as one of the founding fathers of green chemistry. What's behind that reference?
Warner: I was working at Polaroid for 10 years and while there invented a technology (for a benign manufacturing process). I went to the Environmental Protection Agency to go through all the regulatory hurdles and I was having a hard time getting it through. Not because of anything to do with toxicity or environmental impact. It was just different. I found it ironic that the (existing) process we were using used some questionable, nasty stuff and here was a new technology that was head and shoulders better and the EPA was making it more difficult to do new things than continue to do old things. Everyone (at the time) was talking about measuring, monitoring, characterizing, remediating, recycling and dealing with hazardous materials after they're in commerce, and here I was, a synthetic organic chemist, inventing something that is better in the first place. And although that seemed so obvious and straightforward, there was no language for it. There was no science to actually contemplate that.
CK: Can you explain that last comment, that "There was no science to actually contemplate that"?
Warner: The way science grows is to be communicated, so we create a little pocket of knowledge, we give it a name and we start talking about it in journals and conferences. In 1990, there was no such thing as people communicating how to invent things that are benign in the first place. Everything about pollution was how to deal with it after the fact. The point of "green chemistry" was to come up with a science to grow a body of knowledge so that as we progressed in the future, it would be part of the lexicon of science.
CK: This must have been frustrating at the time.
Warner: I really got discontent about this. I started looking around and I realized that not one college, not one university on the planet trained scientists who make things to identify what makes them toxic. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, architects, engineers; all these professions have to take a test to get a licence and in a few years have to take a test to maintain a licence. My father was an electrician. He couldn't come to your house and change a light bulb without a document saying he could do it safely. And yet, anyone can take a molecule that has never existed in the universe before – potentially making the most potent neurotoxin in history and nowhere in their education did they get any kind of training to anticipate that. We're starting to make progress, but it is slow coming.

|Gynecologic Surgery
When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.
Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat to surrounding organs and nerves. For women facing gynecologic surgery, the period of pain, discomfort and extended time away from normal daily activities that usually follows traditional surgery can understandably cause significant anxiety.
Fortunately, less invasive options are available. Some gynecologic procedures enable surgeons to access the target anatomy using a vaginal approach, which may not require an external incision. But for complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the da Vinci System can operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System can be used for the following gynecological surgeries:
- Hysterectomy to treat uterine diseases such as cancer, fibroids, prolapse, and endometriosis by removing the uterus. The surgery may also include the removal of the cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, lymph nodes and part of the vagina, depending on the procedure and the disease being treated.
- Sacrocolpopexy to correct uterine or vaginal vault prolapse (when weak connective tissue and muscles can no longer support the vagina or uterus).
- Myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids, or uterine tumors, and reconstruct the uterus, giving patients the opportunity of having future pregnancies.

The Zoo strives to be a leader in conservation and green initiatives, not only here in Pittsburgh, but around the world. We work hard to do our part for the environment by recycling as many items as possible. Use these ideas to get you started at your school!
Ten Zoo Conservation-Minded Efforts:
1. Adopt-A Highway: Our employees sponsor a two-mile section of Butler Street.
2. Recycled Crafts: If you join us for a class at the zoo you will likely make a craft of some recycled material like: Compact discs, neckties, paper towel tubes, out-of-date calendars, and more!
3. Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Publications: Our magazine, calendar, and newsletters are printed on recycled paper.
4. Wild Earth Day: Each year, around the time of Earth Day, our Conservation Education Department hosts this special event for school groups.
5. Recycled Office Supplies: Whenever possible, we purchase office products made from recycled materials. For example, our copy paper is made of 30 percent recycled paper.
6. The Green Roof at Water's Edge conserves water runoff and insulates the building, allowing us to moderate the thermostats by one-half a degree in winter and summer.
7. Seafood Watch Program – The Zoo partners with the Monterey Bay Aquarium to educate visitors about the importance of maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems. Through the use of a wallet-sized card, visitors are able to determine which seafood choices are the best, which choices require caution, and which choices should be avoided.
8. One Degree of Change: An educational program about how very small changes in your lifestyle can have a very big impact on the environment.
9. Paper Retriever Recycling program: We recycle paper that people drop into our parking lot bin to raise money for non-profit institutions.
10. Project Polar Bear: By connecting with zoos across the U.S. and Canada, Polar Bears International gets kids involved in the effort to save polar bears.
Top 10 Things We Recycle:
1. Plastics (also glass, aluminum, and other metal cans)
2. Office Paper (including newspapers, catalogs, junk mail, etc.)
3. Organic Waste (by composting)
4. Cardboard
5. Computer Cartridges and Toners
6. Cadmium Walkie-Talkie Batteries
7. Other Batteries
8. Light Bulbs
9. Cell Phones

RESEARCH INTERESTSRichard Greenberg is Professor of Planetary Sciences at the University of Arizona. He leads an active research program in planetary science at the University of Arizona, where he and his research team carry out investigations of the dynamical evolution of the solar system, including studies of asteroids, meteorites, planetary rings, planetary formation, and extra-solar planets. He has had a long-term research program, dating back to his doctoral dissertation, in tidal processes and orbital resonances among natural satellites, and their implications for the history and physical character of the satellites. Greenberg served as a member of the Imaging Team for NASA's Galileo spacecraft, where his research began to focus on characterizing and interpreting Jupiter's satellite Europa, which formed the basis for his two books on Europa.
From 1989 to 2001 Greenberg led the University of Arizona's campus-wide initiative in support of pre-college science, mathematics, and technology education as founder and director of the Science and Mathematics Education Center. Accomplishments include reform of the teacher-preparation program, unique new procedures for appropriate evaluation and reward for faculty efforts in education, cultivation and coordination of sponsored projects across the campus, and integration of the K-12 science and mathematics teaching communities into the education activities of the University. Greenberg founded and directed the Image Processing for Teaching (IPT) project, which gave students in classrooms across the nation the power to engage in substantive scientific exploration and discovery using state-of-the-art digital image processing.

Stocks to watch: Amazon, Yahoo
The online retailer is reportedly developing a smartphone, and the Internet portal is down to 2 CEO candidates.
Amazon.com (AMZN) is developing a smartphone to compete against Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and devices that run Google's (GOOG)Android operating system, Bloomberg reported, citing two people with knowledge of the matter. Foxconn International Holdings, the Chinese mobile-phone maker, is working with Amazon on the device, said one of the people, Bloomberg reported.
Amazon seeks to complement the smartphone strategy by acquiring patents that cover wireless technology and would help it defend against allegations of infringement, other people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg. Shares of Amazon ticked up 94 cents, or 0.41%, in premarket trading Friday to $228.
Seagate Technology (STX) said it expects report fourth-quarter revenue of $4.5 billion, down from its previous estimate of about $5 billion. "The June quarter's shortfall was due primarily to two factors," CEO Steve Luzco said Thursday.
"First, we did not achieve our planned market share growth as we reduced shipments in response to the industry's faster-than-expected recovery from their supply chain disruption. Second, we experienced an isolated supplier quality issue that affected one of our enterprise product lines. This product issue impacted enterprise product unit shipments by approximately 1.5 million units and drove our non-GAAP gross margin below our targeted plan. While this disruption to our business was disappointing, we acted quickly and conservatively by suspending shipments of the affected products. We have resolved the issue and have resumed fulfilling our supply commitments to customers."
The company will report fourth-quarter earnings on July 30. Shares of Seagate fell 3.43% in premarket trading Friday to $24.22.
The race to become Yahoo's (YHOO) next CEO appears to have come down to current interim CEO Ross Levinsohn and Hulu CEO Jason Kilar, according to Reuters. According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, Levinsohn and Kilar are the last names left on the Yahoo board's shortlist for permanent CEO of the Internet company.
Netflix (NFLX) shares got a lift Thursday from a Facebook blog post by CEO Reed Hastings that said the company's monthly viewing exceeded 1 billion hours for the first time ever in June. Hastings expects a couple of upcoming shows to increase viewership. "When House of Cards and Arrested Development debut, we'll blow these records away," he said.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) was ordered by a federal judge to explain why the bank shouldn't have to turn over e-mails sought by U.S. regulators in a probe of potential energy-market manipulation. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington on Thursday gave JPMorgan until the end of the day on July 13 to respond, Bloomberg reported.
The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission sued JPMorgan on July 2 to release 25 e-mails in an investigation of possible manipulation of power markets in California and the Midwest by J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corp., the report said.
Japanese athletic retailer ABC-MART has agreed to buy LaCrosse Footwear (BOOT) for about $138 million, or $20 a share, which represents an 82% premium over LaCrosse Footwear's stock closing price on Thursday.

Sancho Panza Caballero Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 11 through 20 of 24 reviews
"Fantastic well-balanced smoke!!!"
I have been smoking premium cigars for 2 1/2 years now and this is one of my absolute favorites. I just finished a box and every cigar burned consistently with a spicy, nutty finish. I like a good medium bodied cigar that's not overpowering but not too mild-- and this is a great selection for that preference.Eric Williams in Iowa June 7, 2006
"VERY good everyday cigar"
The SP Caballero must certainly be one of the very best in its' price range. To be fair, I rarely find a non-Maduro cigar I am willing to buy/smoke more than one of - but the Caballero is definitely a keeper. Only criticism I can make after a box of them is that I came across two that drew less-than-nicely and one of those also became sour at about the half-way mark - and that is unusual (in my experience) for Sancho Panzas of any stripe. The Caballeros taste GOOD but, again, I say that in spite of my definite personal preference for SP's Double Maduros. The Caballero is EASILY worth the sticker price, which is surprisingly modest in itself.Jim Moore in Central Florida August 14, 2005
"Best for the buck"
There is no better cigar for the money in terms of consistency, quality, and smooth flavor. No other cigar is a better value. And I've smoked thousands of cigars. Nuff said.RS in Columbus, OH July 9, 2005
"Not too impressed"
I had the same problems others listed here. The burn was hard to keep under control. Taste was very peppery and harsh, almost stale. It never rounded out. I can do without these.MEjax in All over! May 27, 2005
"Great cigar at a great price!"
I just finished a box of these Sancho Panza Caballero's and can truely say that they are one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. They were consistant, even burning, great drawing and great tasting to the nub! I recommend them for an every day smoke at this price!Robert L. Rubalcaba in Rancho Mirage, California March 28, 2004
"Great Everyday Smoke"
My first choice for an everyday smoke. Great flavor, draw, ash, with just a hint of bitterness past the ring. Great Value!Mike T in Nashua, NH November 28, 2003
"Time is Fine"
Purchased a box. 03/01/92. Let them sit in the humidor. As of 08/09/03, these are one heck of a good smoke. Oh my , can i make it to the next day.R. Copeland in Portland, OR August 9, 2003
"Silky smooth, Great taste"
When I first handled the cigar I knew it was going to be something special. The cigar is silky smooth. The cigar is full of rich flavor, of earth, and spice. This cigar is not for the weak, but not overpowering. My friends and I find it a great smoke with wine or scotch,or bourbon. Easy draw, and slow buring, rich taste, it's on my buy listSteve in Michigan November 22, 2002
"Just plain criminal"
One of the best newer lines on the market today. Beautifully wrapped and pressed. The Cuban heritage is obvious here. True to its roots. A steal at this price.Dr. Turd in Shoreline,CT May 17, 2002
"A nice well built smoke"
I bought a box on spec from the rating. I let them set in the humidor about 3 weeks and they are great. Nice consistent draw, good thick smoke, hold the ash well. No bite all the way to the end. I think I'll try another size. I'd recommend to friends.Dan in Arkansas April 3, 2002

Summer Housing
Summer Housing
New for summer 2013, summer school housing will be offered in both Leebrick Hall and Centennial Court C. The addition of Centennial Court C to summer housing adds the option of suite-style rooms where both roommates would have a private bedroom and shared bathroom.
Summer housing rates
Ø Centennial Court C Single - $235/week
Ø Leebrick Single - $175/week
Ø Leebrick Deluxe Single - $215/week
Ø (deluxe singles in Leebrick Hall are twice the size of the standard single)
Summer school housing applications are available for download here and can be picked up in the Residence Service's main office in Korb Hall. Summer housing is built off of a contract week; meaning, students can sign up for as many or as few weeks of housing as needed. Additionally, because students are not locked into a contract for the full summer, it's easy to add or subtract weeks of housing as needed.
Summer school housing on campus is also available to Kent State University students even if they are not planning to take summer classes. In order to be eligible for summer housing, students need to be either registered for summer classes or registered for fall classes. This makes living on campus a great option for students who need to be in or near Kent for a summer internship or summer employment.
If you're planning to take summer classes or planning to be in the Kent area for the summer, we hope you will consider living on-campus!

LANSING, Michigan – Kevin McSherry of Lansing knows quick action is the only thing that saved his life when he suffered a stroke at age 49.
Soon after feeling the onset of a severe headache and paralysis, McSherry was rushed to Sparrow, where he was quickly given a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), a drug that dissolves clots in the brain. In an advanced life-saving procedure, Neurointerventionalist Syed Hussain, M.D., delivered the tPA through a catheter directly to the clot in his brain.
Today, the married father of three walks 4-5 miles a day, watches his diet, and is grateful for his new lease on life.
"At first, the doctor was concerned that I would live. Today, I'd have to say I'm around 95 percent of where I was," McSherry says. "The care was very good. There were teams of doctors that would routinely check on me. There wasn't a lack of attention."
The Sparrow Stroke Center was recently honored for its work at the International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles. Sparrow was recognized for achievement in meeting the high standards of the Get With The Guidelines program of the American Stroke Association.
Fast action is crucial in caring for stroke patients. Sparrow ranks high above average in administering tPA quickly compared to other hospitals in Michigan and nationally. The Sparrow Stroke Center has also been recognized for its tPA use in a statewide clinical trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Incidences of stroke are common in the mid-Michigan region, but stroke symptoms are often overlooked or misunderstood by the general public.
That's why the Sparrow Stroke Center is so important. Research shows patients who are treated at certified stroke centers achieve better results than others.
The center's services includes specially trained stroke neurologists, a neurointerventionalist , neurosurgeons, and a multi-disciplinary team to deliver care. Sparrow's One-Call system for helicopter transport and an outpatient clinic are other components of this comprehensive program.
"The Sparrow Stroke Center is distinctive because it's the major regional center in mid-Michigan that combines multiple specialties to provide excellent care to patients with stroke," Dr. Hussain says.
Sparrow purchase of CAP-Lab extends excellent laboratory services to more mid-Michigan Patients. http://t.co/ZCrmCQTfgZ

A 20-year-old accused of murdering a 7-Eleven store clerk in Riverview faced a judge in Charlotte County today.
Authorities arrested Lawrence Bongiovanni when they found him walking along Midway and Orlando Boulevard in Port Charlotte on Wednesday evening. Investigators in Hillsborough County also took two other men into custody--Russell Beasley, 25, and Brandon Green, 23, were caught in Sarasota County.
Deputies say Bongiovanni is the man seen stabbing store clerk Kenneth Redding, 54, in surveillance footage.
"Knowing what was going on, I probably would have not come out," said Chiquy Ortiz, who saw police cars swarm her neighborhood Wednesday. "I probably would have secured my home. It doesn't matter where ya go nowadays, the store, out in the street, in your own backyard."
Along with a possible first degree murder charge, Bongiovanni was on supervised probation after an aggravated battery charge put him in jail in 2011--the court will also address that tomorrow. He's expected to be transferred to the Hillsborough County Jail. He's currently being held without bond.

Where are we going to get the money?
For months, we've heard the chattering class tell us that Mitt Romney was the only acceptable Republican nominee. He was the only candidate who could beat Barack Obama; he was the only one smart enough, savvy enough, and milquetoast enough to defeat Obama in a general election. While Newt Gingrich was too hot and Rick Santorum was too cold, Romney was the Goldilocks candidate, everyone's second choice.
The question now is whether Romney will be Americans' first choice.
He faces an uphill climb. President Obama rides at about 50 percent in the polls nationally, despite the fact that...

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 2113 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by amunoz77 Extremely Disappointed!!! I recently stayed at this spg property on 12/4/11 and I must say I will never stay here again. I am a platinum member and disgusted with the service I received. I checked in around 9pm and was told they did not have a room ready for me. It appears there were other guests complaining that they have been waiting for a room since 3pm!!!!! The receptionist advised me they had overbooked and housekeeping was behind. All they could do was give me a drink voucher and a smile! 2 hours later I got my room @ 11pm. This is unacceptable and I am outraged I was not compensated enough points for a free stay! December 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by LesB Nice Place To Stay ! Great Times Square location. Close enough but not in the middle of TS bedlam. Room were very nice(trad. king), clean, and efficient by NYC stds. Staff very good at check in and out (someone at check-in & out directing you and helping - excellent). September 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Some staff really nice, some not welcoming at all Overall, the stay was really nice, thanks to a few staff genuinly adorable : Ernesto at breakfast restaurant, Eddie at Starbucks, our maid... But some were absolutely not charming, not helpful, and would make you feel like you're a total idiot. Which is not nice as every culture has their needs, wonders, requests, questions... The hotel is beautiful and ideally located. Nice in room facilities. I will come back here for my future stays in the city. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Times Square NYC The $160MM dollar renovation has paid off! The Sheraton NY Times Square was perfect for our family vacation to NYC. The room was very comfortable, the staff was friendly, and you can't beat the location. One of our favorite SPG properties in the city! September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AS035 Sheraton NYC The location of this hotel is fantastic. So close to all mid town attractions and shopping. Excellent facilities and attentive staff that i encountered. From the Bell Captain to Coincierge and check in staff , all helpful and obliging. Would come back to stay at this hotel again. August 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by summer2012 Bad experience The day of the departure the elevators for the high rise part were not working properly. Waited for 35-40 mins and ended up taking the stairs all the way down from 46th floor,being late for my flight The support staff was not helpful in resolving this issue, offering to take service elevators which were not working either. There was another set of elevators which worked for 21-28th floors but it was not communicated to us when we asked if there is any other way to get out other than taking stairs all the way down. For the amount of people that stay at this hotel, they should have managed it better and provide appropriate communications on the issue May 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrismc123 Great experience Great experience. Our room was upgraded by a lovely employee named Joy. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to people staying in times square. September 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jen1981 Would stay here again I attended a conference at the hotel and found it comfortable, clean and conveniently located. The conference facilities were adequate and, in the evenings, I found it easy to walk to Broadway or nearby shopping. I looked at similarly priced hotels and their quality was far below the Sheraton. I would stay here again. September 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SumTingW Low water pressure on high level floor The water pressure in the shower on the 44th level (SPG preferred guest level) was dismal. Barely enough to shower. I should have called after the first night but I was so tired to complain on the second night of my business meeting. I do hope this is fixed quickly for the sake of other guests. Definitely, not what I expected for the Sheraton Times Square. September 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stb64 Excellent location We were very surprised when we arrived. I have nothing but praise for this hotel. I have stayed at many other hotels in NYC but have found a new home away from home when we visit again. Excellent hotel! September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rj2013 A piece of heaven in the heart of New York city The room was beautiful, well appointed and very spacious. The staff treated us like VIPs. The front desk, the bell captains, the elevator security staff, the cleaning staff and finally Jorge Leiva (front desk supervisor) seemed to go out of their way to make us feel welcome and offered help at every turn. We've already recommended to friends and can't wait to return!!!! September 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cynthiapr overall mess The AC was not working properly and they had to come to the room twice over the weekend. The blinds would not close. I broke a nail trying to close them. They came in and all they did was just close them half way. The ice machine was not working on the floor and we had to goto another floor to get ice. Front desk was so busy it took the forever to attend to people. It took me a long time to save my points and it was not what I expected. It was a holiday weekend and I left early. September 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Djscinema Suite Night Upgrades Not working I always recommend Sheraton/Starwood but lately I have been having issues with upgrades - mainly while trying to use my suite upgrades. It seems since these have been introduced, I have not only gotten less upgrades but have gotten NO upgrades from these awards. I try to always stay at the NY Sheraton but my upgrades have been harder to come by. May 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tom911 Dissapointed I've stayed at this hotel at least 15 times over the last 5-6 years. This time I paid over $500 per night for a room and as a lifetime gold member could not get access to the lounge area? Then, the first morning in the hotel, there was no hot water in the shower. not what I am used to. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GulsahandReha Amazing Hotel! Amazing Staff!! We spent our honeymoon in this hotel and loved it! All the employees were so kind and they thought every detail before our arrival to make our honeymoon perfect. The front Office manager Seher really did her best to give us the best room, our housekeeper Lauren was also great. All the employees at the Club Lounge and lobby bar were so attentive and really made our days in New York unforgettable. Thank you everyone once again :) August 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Twinn2013 The best location! I enjoyed my stay at this Sheraton. I like the location that's not too close from Times Square, about 10 blocks away, meaning less crowded and subway station just around the corner. I didn't receive any room upgrade as Platinum member. I totally agree with the other recent reviewer , Djscinema, May 15, 2014 about how hard it is to get approved for Suite Night Award from this Sheraton. Suite Night Award should be applied before your arrival, NOT requested at front desk when you check-in. I applied for my Suite Night Award when I booked my room, which is 8-9 days before my arrival, but they didn't approve it. If a lot of Platinum members are complaining about this issue, The Management from Sheraton New York Times Square and Starwood Hotels and Resorts should investigate this matter to see if Suite Night Award program is working properly in this property. By the way, the Club Lounge is way to crowded for breakfast and afternoon reception, but we heard that from other reviewers before. I just want to confirm it again! May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jessieowens Great Health Club This place had an awesome health club. the weight room was extensive with free weights--barbells and dumbbells--as well as weight machines. It had a separate room for exercise bikes, and a full array of treadmills and ellipticals. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skyline177 Good Location Located in Times Square - most attractions are within walking distance. August 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by astammy Good location and comfortable The only issue we had is that we gifted this room to our daughter and they would not give her the upgrade for the club breakfast!!! I think that is ridiculous considering we are platinum SPG members. How much is a 24 year old going to eat? We called twice and spoke with the manager and she was not accommodating at all. She actually told us we probably should just lie and say we were coming too--unbelievable! September 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jim7373 Average hotel for a high price Lines at check I were long and staff was slow to check people through. It took 2 hr to get my non working tv remote replaced The bathroom had mildew or mold on the shower tiles. And the bathroom fan had hanging dirt and mildew from it. Not the cleanest hotel I've stayed in. I would expect more for the money. However it was centrally located to most of the sites and the subway was Very accessible September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grrink this great hotel is in the perfect nyc location the location and hotel are excellent.. the staff always amazing and always friendly and attentive. I have stayed here many times and its always great!! August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyLA Beautiful Hotel This hotel is beautiful, very clean and the location is excellent. We found that all of the staff we dealt with were extremely nice, helpful and very professional. August 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Guest111 Rude service As an spg platinum number the hotel was not only unable to upgrade me to the club level, but the front desk guy Hamilton is rude and insulting. When I entered the room it smells really bad, there was peanuts on the floor. July 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by John22 Sad, Sad, Sad My hotel room was dirty, TV only worked when it wanted to, multiple outlets in the room didn't work, and shower drain was clogged. During any shower, I would have to stop the shower three (3) times to let the water slowly drain. And lastly, most of my colleagues who were also staying in this hotel had several issues with their rooms too. December 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ling01 Great Location, Great Service This hotel is perfectly located to many of the cities cultural landmarks, theatres, shopping, etc. The front desk service is friendly and efficient. Definitely will return to this hotel in the future. August 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mimi17 Good value Nice hotel within walking distance to museums,shopping, and theater district. Clean. Room was small but attractive and updated. Bathroom extremely tiny. September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eric79 Where to start..... - I requested an early check-in while making my reservation and was told it would not be a problem. Therefore, I took an early flight to NY only to find out that I could not check-in early. I had to sit around and wait for two hours. - I ended up going to get breakfast in the hotel restaurant and had to eat off the buffet because they don't offer a menu breakfast. It was OVERPRICED. $34 for a breakfast buffet and a 20% gratuity automatically added to my bill so the service was horrible. - Finally I was able to check-in and upon going into my room, the carpet was dirty. - The reason I was in NY was for business. I had a presentation to work on in the afternoon in my hotel room before evening events. It was IMPOSSIBLE to do concentrate due to the construction work. There was constant drilling for 3 hours and banging around. -The shower had hair in the tub and there was hair on the bathroom floor. - NO HOT water in my shower. - I went down to the front desk to ask to be moved to another room and the staff was RUDE and told me there were no other rooms and that I could check back later. I explained that IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to inform people of the construction during the reservation process versus showing up and finding out. I feel like the least thing the staff could have done is offered to call me on my cell or in my room when another room became available. I was paying $450 a night for the room, the least thing they could have done is acted like they appreciated their customers/guests. - I woke up the next morning at 7 am to more banging from the construction. It could have at least waited until 8 am. - I went down to the front desk and asked to be moved to a new room that had hot water, a clean bathroom/tub and a room away from construction. I had to wait a few hours to get this room. - In my new room, the shower drain was not working properly so I was standing in over ankle deep water. HORRIBLE experience, staff, hotel, food and I could go on. So bad, that my boss had a business trip the following week and had a reservation at this hotel. She cancelled it and will be staying some other place. I will NEVER stay at this property again unless they have some serious management changes and train their staff to be more courteous! December 10, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by GreatExpectations Service is sadly lacking Location is fabulous and the travel and tours representative was helpful. That is all there is to like about this Sheraton. It is one of the most expensive sheraton I have stayed in, but one with sadly lacking service. I cannot believe that your priority number 1 is guest satisfaction. I had to call front desk for service. I called three times and each tme the phone rang till it went dead. The operator who transferred the call was indifferent and almost rude! We stayed on club floor and used the club lounge. The lounge was crowded, dirty and the food serving were not very enticing. The lobby was often crowded. Even as a platinum member we had to wait in line for about 20 mins to check in. Thre were lines for every service - concierge, travel and tours, checked baggage. Could you not put more people to reduce waiting time? We had a room with a toilet that did not flush well. Surely housekeeping would have noticed it but did not report it. December 14, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jimtraveller Location is the saving grace of this hotel Where shall I start? Booked four nights for our stay in NYC, to celebrate my dad's 75th birthday. Requested the suite night upgrade months ago, when we checked in our room, without any upgrade at all! Club lounge was super crowded and chaotic, feels like in a refugee camp during the labour day long weekend. People cutting lines and grab food right in front of you. Reflected that to hotel management, and basically was told that they were not about to do anything about it. You are hotel management, manage it! Front desk never opened my files on their record so that we could get the internet access from our room. Called four times, and everytime, we got passed on to anther phone line, finally ended somewhere as a call centre in India. And sure enough, the accounting department screwed up the bill and charged us $14.95 for the internet access that was supposed to be free for a platinum guest. So had to spent another 10-15 minutes waiting in line and sorted it out at the front desk. So what else do I need to say? Not recommend at all! So we will definitely stay at another starwood hotel next time when we visit NYC. September 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SPG45 Excellent location and staff Took the family to Times Square for one week. Stayed at the Sheraton in a connected room. Excellent view of the city and the staff were fantastic. The front desk and concierge took extra efforts to ensure our comfort and that we had a fun family vacation in mid-town. September 8, 2014

In the last decade, Usher, along with Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, was part of an elite group of pop acts who released back-to-back albums that were epic and masterful.
He kicked off the new millennium with "8701," an album full of R&B gems that became enduring staples. Though it's nearly impossible to follow an album like that with something even better, he did with "Confessions": The 2004 blockbuster was his superstar-making album and still ranks as one of the top 10 best-selling discs ever.
New album
Usher, "Looking 4 Myself" (RCA).
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
These days, Usher still racks up hit singles ("OMG," "Love In This Club" to name a few), but he hasn't produced an album as brilliant since.
And he still hasn't. But the entertaining "Looking 4 Myself" is his best attempt at making magical music following "Here I Stand" and "Raymond v. Raymond," lackluster albums saved by a few sterling songs.
Usher's 14-track set is a multi-genre affair: There are mid-tempo grooves like "Show Me," as well as bedroom R&B ("Dive"), rhythmic hip-hop ("Lemme See"), upbeat pop ("Twist") and electro-dance numbers ("Scream," "Numb," "Euphoria").
But the be-all-things-to-all-people approach doesn't always work: "Scream," the current single produced by Max Martin, is like everything else on top 40 radio. Like many of Chris Brown's Euro-flavored jams, this one could easily be performed by another act. It's flavorless and generic — words normally not used to describe Usher's music.
Usher sounds better on "Numb" and "Euphoria," both written and produced by Swedish Mafia House and Klas Ahlund, the main producer behind Swedish dance singer Robyn. Still, those songs don't come close to "Yeah!" or even "Without You" with David Guetta.
The producers on the album range from Pharrell to will.iam, though Jermaine Durpri, the mastermind behind much of "8701" and "Confessions," is missing (clearly a reunion is needed, stat).
Still, overall, "Looking" is a hit: The title track, which features Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun, is amazing, Rick Ross adds to the greatness of "Lemme See" and "Lessons for the Lover" is Usher doing R&B like it should be done.
CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: "I.F.U." — a bonus track that stands for "I'm freaking you" — has a dope beat, Usher's falsetto and hand claps that mirror Rihanna's "Birthday Cake."

8847 – Sterilize a dog by SMS!
This SMS Number can be accessed only through Romanian mobile networks
Your participation in solving the stray-dog problem is now so easy! Starting from April 1, you can help sterilize the stray dogs in Braşov, simply by sending an SMS to 8847 and make a €2 donation.
The "Milioane de Prieteni" animal protection association will launch on April 1, 2014 the first SMS number to support the sterilization of stray dogs. Starting from Tuesday, whoever sends an SMS to 8847 will automatically donate €2 for the sterilization of stray-dogs in the municipality of Braşov. This service works on Cosmote, Orange and Vodafone networks, and is being made available by ARC România (the Association for Community Relations).
This service is part of the campaign, "A neutered dog is a rescued dog", launched by "Milioane de Prieteni" at the end of October 2013. With each SMS, the donors are offering the possibility of neutering a dog, rescued from the streets of Braşov, by the AMP team. The amount of 2 euros will cover a small part of the expenses for the neutering surgery, more precisely the syringes and needles, surgical gloves, the Betadine and the compress. The anaesthetic, the sutures, pain killers, sterile fields and plaster bandages, antibiotics, antibiotic-sprays, microchips and vaccines will be provided by the partners of this campaign – the Brigitte Bardot Foundation France, Love Underdogs UK and BMT Germany.
"SMS is the easiest way of involving the people of Braşov and other Romanians in this campaign. If we no longer want to have dogs on the streets, nor agree with euthanasia in the public shelters, then we all must get involved. A minimum donation via SMS can help us sterilize as many dogs as possible, and this is the only solution to diminish the stray-dog epidemic. Everyone has a phone and sending an SMS is very simple. Anyone who loves dogs and doesn't want to see them suffering has now the chance to help", said Cristina Lapis, president of AMP.
The SMS number 8847 will begin on Tuesday, April 1. Those who love animals will have two and a half months available to support the neutering campaign, as it will end on 14 June 2014.
The campaign "A neutered dog is a rescued dog" is in partnership with the Municipality of Braşov and the County School Inspectorate. Within this campaign, every week, AMP is running "Animal Protection and Welfare" awareness sessions in secondary schools in Braşov, and on Saturdays starting 10 AM, is conducting voluntary activities with children from the fifth and sixth grade.
AMP was founded in 1997 by Cristina and Roger Lapis, the then French Honorary Consul to Romania.There were so many stray dogs in the streets of Brasov, many of them ill and hungry, injured bycars. Cristina wanted to help them and began building a shelter … that was the beginning of the DogShelter Triaj.
In 1998 AMP began investigating tourists' complaints about bears kept in horrible conditions in cages outside restaurants and petrol stations all over Romania. This eventually led to a collaboration in 2005with the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) to construct the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti.
Today, AMP runs the Dog Shelter Triaj and Libearty Bear Sanctuary. In addition, the Association alsoworks to protect all animals in Romania through local projects, campaigns and education programmes.Please explore our website, meet our animal friends, and come and visit us in Brasov!
Please help all the Bears to be happy! Adopt a Bear or make a donation in order to support the future rescuing missions of other captive bears around Romania. Support our Association in helping the 72 Bears living at the "Libearty" Sanctuary and the over 400 dogs from the Dog Shelter in Triaj , by offering them the best living conditions and a better future.
Thank you for your support!

All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like'. Because for me, they're all me. I relate to these characters because aspects of their personality are like me. And I just turn up the parts of myself that are them and turn down the parts that aren't. - Ryan Gosling

Underrated, Underappreciated Films You Need to See
Daniel: "You wanna know the real reason why we hate them? Because they exist. We have all the reasons we need in three simple letters. J-E-W… Jew! You say it a million times, it's the one word that never loses its meaning."
The Believer (Henry Bean, 2001)
I'm going to be upfront about this- it is not an easy film to get through. In fact, the first hour is unpleasant and pretty volatile. The subject matter (religion and anti-semitism) is very sensitive and the main character is also based on KKK member, Dan Burros. Ryan Gosling gives an intense performance (I'd say the best of his career) playing a Jewish Neo-Nazi, who struggles to find his true identity and continues to question the meaning of Judaism.

End the Season with a Celebratory Cruise
Image Via Flickr by blmiers2
When you work as a team, sweat as a team and put in your heart and soul as a team, your season is a big deal. So when the season ends, you feel like you've really accomplished something. The best part isn't that you can take some time away from grueling practices. The best part of a great season is when you've won and you get a chance to celebrate.
Every Sport Has One Thing in Common
Sports vary in almost every possible facet. Some are on land, some are in the water and some seem to be pushing toward the clouds. The skills, the arena and even the breathing technique of one sport can be totally different from the components of another. Some sports seem like they couldn't be any more different.
But regardless of what sport you play, there is one element that binds it all together: the cycle of hard work, pain and the ultimate reward of victory. There are few things in this world more emotionally fulfilling than being drenched in sweat, barely able to stand, breathing like your life depends on it and knowing that all of this has led to victory. Pushing yourself to your real limits, leaving behind what you used to consider your limits, and beating your opponents is the ultimate rush.
It's Time to Have Some Fun
After your season's ended and you've caught your breath, you might just feel like taking a nap. While that's perfectly natural, a nap isn't much of a celebration. You ever think about taking a cruise? Not every cruise has to be a month long trip across the ocean. Some cruises are just a few hours or a couple of days of partying it up. There are so many options for different kinds of cruises that you might have trouble making up your mind which one to take.
You've Earned It
A major part of sports is to be hungry. Your hunger has pushed you all season long. Every time you've trained, you've had your eyes on the prize. Now that you've conquered your opponents, and most importantly yourself, it's time to relish the prize you've earned. This isn't the time to sit in quiet reflection. Somewhere between the podium and the first training session of next season, there's a little time that's built for kicking back and soaking up some relaxation time.
You came, you saw and you gave it everything you had. Now that the day is won, it's time to bask in the afterglow of a well earned victory. There's no better way to have a great time and really celebrate your victory than by taking a cruise and unwinding a little. Let next season's training start in a day or two. For now, have some fun!

A group of wealthy investors is expected any day to announce it hopes to buy the Sacramento Kings and keep them in town by building an arena at Downtown Plaza.
The idea of turning Downtown Plaza into an arena isn't new. The shopping mall isn't doing well, and is due for a rethink. But the city has been focusing its arena ambitions for years on the downtown railyard, several blocks to the north.
So, which is a better site for an arena? (We're looking from a transportation, or people-moving, perspective here. Cost is a different question. No price has been set yet for a Downtown Plaza arena.)
Interviews with city, Regional Transit, Caltrans and rail officials suggest this preliminary conclusion:
Downtown Plaza appears to be the better choice for getting 18,000 people in and out of events en masse.
It starts with the fact that the city is planning to build a major transit center in the railyard behind the depot, big enough to handle up to 15 million people annually on trains, buses, taxis and light rail. The site needs space for parking, rental cars and car drop-off zones.
It would be ideal to team the transit center with an event center like Madison Square Garden and Penn Station in Manhattan.
But the chosen railyard site south of the rail tracks is small. An arena's hefty size demands would force planners to shrink the transit center and could lead to design concessions that reduce the center's usability long-term.
In contrast, the Downtown Plaza site is a two-block walk from the transit center. That's not as good as next door. But it's not bad, and it gives the transit center space to grow.
Downtown Plaza looks to be the better arena location for light rail. All three RT light-rail lines have stations near the plaza. That proximity could encourage more people to leave their cars at home or in a park-and-ride lot and take rail to events. The railyard, in contrast, is served by one light-rail line.
Most arena users will come in cars. On that score, the plaza appears a better bet because it is closer to more garages and has a surrounding street grid already in place. It also has underground parking on site. If arena builders can preserve a chunk of that parking, it could serve as the required premium parking for big-ticket customers.
Then there is pedestrian congestion. Downtown Plaza users would disperse in four directions to garages (amid existing restaurants, bars and stores.) In contrast, a railyard arena may be walled on two sides by the river and train tracks, sending most pedestrians south across I Street.
Interstate 5 access to both sites is similar. But south-of-plaza garage users would also drive to the W/X freeway.
Our experts say, however, it's too early to anoint one site. The city must do studies first. That is, if the Kings don't run off to Seattle in the meantime.
